Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Arrived at the court.

Only then did I know that the Li Kingdom had requested peace and sent an envoy to the Great Zhou.

The terms offered for a ceasefire were very generous.

Some people in the court wanted to continue the war, and it would be best to rush to Liguo, Nanli and Xiliangguo.

"Your Majesty, we cannot agree to Li's request. We must take advantage of the explosives and kill him."

"Yes. Tell Lu Yanfu to lead the troops to attack."

Minister Lan frowned and unhappily rebuked those officials who wanted to go to war.

"You gentlemen, it's easy for you to say that. Our treasury is empty, and the army has no food or fodder for the war. Whether it's Mobei, Zhendong or Jianzhou, they all rely on subsidies from those generals, the queen and the empress.

They put up everything they could and couldn't put up.

You guys just moved your lips, do you want them to continue to subsidize you? If they all put their energy into the war, what will happen to the people's lives?"

Bo Luohui agreed with what Minister Lan said.

The foundation of a country is to put people’s livelihood first.

"Minister Lan. As long as we penetrate into the enemy country, we will naturally kill their people and rob them of their food. Then we will have food."

"This is what Xiliang did when it attacked the Mobei area."

Minister Lan asked again:

"A dog bites you, and you bite it back immediately? Xiliang State kills our people, so we kill their soldiers. General Xiao of Li State never attacks civilians in war. If we treat the people of Li State like this, will they treat our people like this in the future?"

Bo Luohui agreed with Minister Lan's opinion.

"Your Majesty. I, an old minister, also think that the common people cannot stand the war any more."

Su Rutang walked in.

Shang Yan stood up and walked towards Su Rutang.

Holding Su Rutang's hand, he sat on the dragon throne, and the officials below quickly stood up and kowtowed.

"Long live the Queen."

They all say that the queen lives a thousand years.

But Shang Yan didn't want to. Saying that the Queen would live a thousand years was like curing him to live alone until the end of his life.

What he wants is that the queen also lives long.

"Flat body."

Song Huaiyan was dozing off in the chair. When he heard the Queen coming, he stared at Su Rutang with a resentful look.

"Empress. May I adjourn the court session first?" Song Huaiyan missed his little bed and ignored the news that Xiao Zhijie had brought an envoy to the Great Zhou to negotiate peace.

Su Rutang hasn't spoken yet.

Bo Luohui already has something to say.

"Zheng Daban, go and give *** an extra cushion so she can sit more comfortably. We will need ***'s advice on many issues later."

Duke Song rolled his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to go to court every day. How about going to court every other day?"

For the first time, Song Huaiyan sent a grateful look to Duke Song, which made Duke Song's eyes tear up. Is there a chance that his granddaughter will return to the Duke's Mansion?

Su Rutang agreed to let Song Huaiyan go to court the next day.

It doesn't mean you have to come so early, you can come later.

Let Zheng Wuyong sort out the problems.

Su Rutang was sitting on the dragon throne and talking, and Shang Yan's attention was drawn to Su Rutang's hand.

The color on the fingernails isn't that pretty anymore.

Then he thought, Rutang hadn’t seen his grandparents for a long time.

The two old people should be brought to the palace to live for a few months. While he was thinking about it, Su Rutang cleared his throat.

"emperor."

"Ah."

Shang Yan came back to his senses, "What's the matter?"

"The Dou family's land was returned to the people. There are still more than a thousand acres of land left. In addition, there are dozens of farms in the suburbs of Beijing and Jiangnan, totaling more than 7,000 acres of land."

Su Rutang told him everything.

“What do you do with these lands?”

"What's ***'s opinion?" Shang Yan asked Song Huaiyan for her opinion first.

Song Huaiyan said subconsciously:

"It will be returned to the national treasury as state land. All output will belong to the state. It would be best to set up a special agency to find people to grow and sell the land... In terms of revenue..."

"It's settled. *** will be in charge. In addition to the land confiscated from the Dou family, all the land of officials will be confiscated this time."

Song Huaiyan: "..."

Do you want to hear what you have to say?

I really think of myself as a chosen worker.

Down towards the back.

Song Huaiyan, Su Rutang, Shang Yan, Bo Luohui, and Minister Lan gathered together.

The new hybrid wheat seeds should be introduced before planting.

The people from the Agricultural Department under the Ministry of Revenue got the seeds from Song Huaiyan's farm, and will open up several more fields in the capital and Jiangnan to study the cultivation and development of various seeds.

It wasn't until noon that they dispersed.

Song Huaiyan touched her belly.

"Sister, I don't envy the royal family's life at all. It's busier than a cow."

"He's coming."

"I'll go to the Song family tomorrow."

"He will arrive in the capital in ten days at most."

Song Huaiyan was still stubborn: "I will stay at Long Yu's place for a few days and then come back. Negotiations are not suitable for me to participate in. I am not a serious official."

Shang Yan glanced at him and asked, "Are you scared?"

Song Huaiyan replied unconvinced:

"I'm not afraid."

"You want to run away?"

"I... I won't run away. I will tell him openly that I accidentally got pregnant with your child, but I want to give birth to the baby." Song Huaiyan snorted coldly.

"That's right. I support you." Su Rutang smiled.

With Su Rutang and Shang Yan's words.

Song Huaiyan's uneasy heart calmed down.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory checked the date and said that the day suitable for the late emperor's burial was approaching. If it was delayed any further, it would be really disgraceful.

Abandoned.

Shang Yan asked people to hold a simple ceremony.

Buried hastily.

The third day after returning from the burial.

Xiao Zhijie of Li State led an envoy to Da Zhou. The emperor of Li State also wanted to insult Xiao Zhijie, because the generals who participated in the war would not be allowed to participate in the peace talks.

The Emperor of Liguo sent Xiao Zhijie here just to insult him.

The people in the expatriate mission also knew about it.

There were two other people who came with Xiao Zhijie, one was the current King Li and his son. King Li was Rong Rui's biological father, and he used his mother's surname when he was wandering.

Arrived in the capital.

Rong Rui couldn't wait to enter the palace.

He wants to see Yaoyao.

He was stopped by Prince Li, "You will be able to see her tomorrow, you must learn to be patient."

Rong Rui sat back.

Tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

When Rong Rui woke up in the middle of the night and saw Xiao Zhijie sitting outside drinking alone, he came over and sat down next to Xiao Zhijie. "Is there anyone the general wants to see too?"

"Little Princess, is there someone you want to see?" Xiao Zhijie did not answer him.

"Yes. A girl I want to marry someday."

"In the capital?"

"In the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Rong Rui's eyes sparkled, "I will definitely marry her when I grow up."

Skillful.

Xiao Zhijie secretly thought that the person he wanted to see was also in the palace of Da Zhou.

Just…marry her…?

"Young Prince. Between the Great Zhou and the Li Kingdom, commoners can still marry each other. If..."

Rong Rui snorted coldly:

"You two have schemed too much. If I want to marry her, I will try my best to break free from the shackles." He moved closer to Xiao Zhijie and lowered his voice, "At worst, I will use my country as a betrothal gift to marry her."

Xiao Zhijie was confused.

"Little Prince. Do you...Does Prince Li know?"

"Well. So what? In order to be worthy of sister Yaoyao, I have to show my sincerity." Rong Rui whispered again: "If the general despises the fact that the lady of the Great Zhou Dynasty was married before, just ignore what I said."

He always knew that General Xiao was the prince's man.

If he wanted to win the support of General Xiao for his father, Prince Li, he had to come up with something convincing.

Xiao Zhijie's face turned cold.

"Young Prince. This general has never heard of anything."

"This prince has never said anything." A hint of cunning flashed in Rong Rui's eyes. This was just the appetizer.

He entered the palace the next day.

It's past morning court time.

Shang Yan and Su Rutang, Song Huaiyan, Bo Luohui, King Cheng and King Li, Rong Rui and Xiao Zhijie attended the meeting.

Rong Rui stepped forward and kowtowed.

"Aunt Tang, Uncle, Aunt Song. Rong Rui is back."

Su Rutang quickly waved to let Rong Rui come over.

"Has grown tall."

"Aunt Tang. Where are Yaoyao and Qi'er?"

"Zheng Wuyong. Take Rong Rui to play with the prince and princess." Su Rutang instructed Zheng Wuyong.

"Yes."

Rong Rui glanced at the cold Xiao Zhijie, and smiled at Song Huaiyan: "Aunt Song, my father is also in need of a princess. If you don't mind my father being a 30-year-old man with a bad temper and no skills, you can consider it. After all, he has a son who is presentable."

King Li: “…”

A thirty-year-old man?

Xiao Zhijie: “…”

On purpose?

Song Huaiyan: "..."

Su Rutang covered his mouth and smiled: "They are quite a good match."

Song Huaiyan rolled her eyes at Su Rutang and said, "My sister has been led astray by my brother-in-law."

Rong Rui blinked at Song Huaiyan and ran out with Zheng Wuyong.

This opened the eyes of Xiao Zhijie and King Li.

The royal family of the Great Zhou is different.

They didn't look like a royal family, but an ordinary family, talking and laughing together.
