The system forced me to be emperor

This is my own child!This is my child!

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Yan Linglong asked hastily.

Huazheng smiled and said, "Crying so loudly, of course it's a young man."

Yan Linglong looked at the baby boy, and couldn't help touching his cheek with her fingers, his crying actually weakened, and he shook his head, as if he was being comforted.

"Qilang..." Yan Linglong couldn't help but miss Xiao Rui, and the thoughts flooded in like a tide. Unfortunately, he couldn't see him, and he didn't even know that his son was born.

……

Xiao Rui had a child, and the system generously rewarded him with a chance to come, but it made Xiao Rui so depressed that he couldn't sleep. He really couldn't figure out why he was congratulated!This feeling of being kept in the dark is really uncomfortable!

And the system was like a dead dog, it didn't respond no matter how you called it, in a daze, Xiao Rui stayed up until midnight before falling into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Rui went to the morning court with dark circles under his eyes. There were no major events at the court meeting, but there were two things that attracted Xiao Rui's attention. The first thing was the recent continuous torrential rain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, so that the water level of the Yellow River continued to rise. In order to avoid floods that would cause embankments to break, His Majesty ordered the areas prone to embankments to be dredged to avoid floods.

The second thing is that the Qi State sent envoys to send the letter of credence.

The letter of credence arrived yesterday afternoon, and Xiao Rui was in the recruiting hall, so he didn't know the content immediately.

Xiahuang laughed and said: "Qihuang sent people to send the letter of credence, and the words were weak. I implore the two countries to talk about peace. Qi is willing to pay compensation. I hope our Daxia troops will withdraw!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Qi State broke the covenant before, and now they are being beaten and retreating steadily, and they want to admit defeat and beg for mercy, thinking that compensation will allow us to withdraw our troops? Wishful thinking!" Ye Xiuyi, the governor of the Chinese Army Commander's Mansion, shouted.

"My minister seconded the proposal! Peace talks are absolutely impossible!" Huo Xingye, Minister of the Ministry of War, also said.

"The final general seconded the proposal!" Zhongyong Hou Zhang Jinfu also said.

"Wei Chen agrees!"

……

The voice of seconding resounded through the Golden Palace.

Xia Huang smiled and said: "My loves, you don't listen to the compensation proposed by Qi Huang, so you firmly disagree with the peace negotiation?"

Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, asked curiously: "Your Majesty, if the Qi State is willing to cede half of the land to compensate Daxia, it is also possible to discuss the matter of peace. I dare to ask Your Majesty, what exactly is the compensation proposed by the Qi State?"

Emperor Xia gestured to Hai Dafu.

Hai Dafu opened the letter of credence and read aloud: "The compensation conditions proposed by the State of Qi are as follows: 5000 million taels of silver, 20 horses, [-] sheep..."

Don't look at Hai Dafu's old tooth loss, but his words are not leaking at all.The compensation proposed by Qi State sounds very rich, but it is not satisfied with Aite's ministers and Emperor Xia.We wiped out your country of Qi, and we got more than what you compensated!

However, some imperial censors Qingliu were persuaded. After all, fighting Qi would kill people and consume a lot of food and grass. This war is a huge consumption.Now that there are many blooms in the summer, it is better to be more stable.

In general, the voice of unity in the court is still not peaceful.

By the end of the morning court, His Majesty did not say anything about the discord, but Xiao Rui knew it well, so why would a fool talk about it? The reason why His Majesty mentioned this matter in the Golden Palace was to tell all the civil and military officials that Qi State was going to end Now, so I am eager to talk about it, and the second is to see the attitude of civil and military officials.

Xiao Rui followed Emperor Xia to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Emperor Xia suddenly asked, "By the way, where is the Concubine Hui of Qi State that you captured?"

Look at what His Majesty said, he used the word "captured"!These two words moved Xiao Rui very much, because others used the word "robbery" to describe him, but they actually thought of Xiao Rui as a lustful person!It's really unreasonable, it's more wronged than Dou E!So it's still my father who understands me.

"Imprisoned in a secret place! Avoid being discovered and robbed by Qi State spies hiding in the capital." Xiao Rui did not mention Jing Yuan, regardless of whether His Majesty knew the secret of Jing Yuan, Xiao Rui subconsciously concealed it.

Emperor Xia didn't go into where Concubine Hui was hiding, but said: "I heard that Concubine Hui is the most beautiful woman in Qi, and she is deeply favored by Emperor Qi, so it seems to be so."

As he said, Emperor Xia waved his hand, and Hai Dafu sent an unsigned and unsigned letter to Xiao Rui.

After Xiao Rui looked at it, he raised his eyebrows.

The content of the letter is very simple, I hope to use 320 Daxia soldiers in exchange for Concubine Hui!

Although Daxia's attack on Qi State was like a broken bamboo, it does not mean that there were no casualties. They crushed all the way. Qi State's army also has the strength of the army. prisoner of war.Just like Daxia captured the Qi army, the prisoners of war would be treated as slaves and sent to dig mines, dig rivers and so on.

Xia Huang said: "You captured Concubine Hui, so this matter is up to you."

"A woman's life can be exchanged for 320 big Xia Erlangs. It's worth it! But it's not enough! I want more captured Erlangs!" Xiao Rui said in a deep voice.

Emperor Xia nodded in relief, and said with a smile: "Okay! You can only gain if you give up! I will send a letter to Emperor Qi, asking him to let more people go!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Xia reminded: "It will take some time to go back and forth, so cherish it."

Xiao Rui looked at His Majesty in surprise, cherish the time?Cherish what?Father, have you misunderstood something?

In the end, Xiao Rui didn't dare to ask too many questions, for fear of more misunderstandings.

Could it be that Concubine Hui is the most beautiful woman in Qi, so I have to impulsively occupy her?You underestimate me, Xiao Rui!My name, Xiao Rui, is not for nothing!

So after lunch, Xiao Rui went to Jingyuan.

At this time, Yuan Yuan was playing in the water by the lake, she lifted her skirt to her knees, revealing her white legs like jade, her dexterous feet moved the lake water, having fun, she didn't notice Xiao Rui coming over at all.

She played for a while, turned her head and saw Xiao Rui by accident, stood up quickly in fright, embarrassment and rosiness appeared on her charming face, and said, "When did Your Highness come?"

Even if Xiao Rui didn't want to admit it, he had to admit the charm of the woman in front of him, no wonder Qi Huang couldn't bear it.

"I just came here and saw you having fun, so I didn't bother you." Xiao Rui explained.

Yuan Yuan swung the hem of her skirt to cover her toes, then lifted the black hair on her forehead, inadvertently showing her charm to the fullest.

"Your Highness came here suddenly, is there something wrong?" Yuan Yuan asked cleverly.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Qi Huang wants to redeem you!"

Then he told her the contents of Emperor Qi's secret letter.

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up at first, but then she frowned. For her, it was good or bad for her to return to Qi after being captured in Da Xia for so long, and what consequences awaited her?

Yes, the Prince Xia in front of him is a gentleman and has never bullied himself, but will His Majesty Qi Huang believe it?Others will use this to attack themselves, will they be able to bear it by then?

As such, she would rather live here, quiet and happy, a relaxation she never enjoyed many years ago.

but...

She understood that for the sake of those captives, the upright prince in front of her would not give up the exchange, and Qi also had her own mother and her own brother, after all, that was her home.

So she has mixed feelings in her heart, standing here quietly, not knowing what to think.

Xiao Rui couldn't comfort him since ancient times. When he was about to turn around and leave, Yuan Yuan suddenly asked, "Your Highness, do you have time?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Rui asked in surprise.

"I've heard about the beautiful scenery of Daxia for a long time, but I didn't appreciate it carefully when I came to Daxia. If I really leave, I think it would be a pity. I want to keep the scenery of Daxia in my memory. I wonder if His Highness can take me out of the city to have a look? "Yuan Yuan showed hopeful eyes.
