Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

After Rong Rui left.

Everyone got to the point, and Bo Luohui first criticized King Li and Xiao Zhijie.

He said that Liguo was useless.

"They signed a peace agreement before, but later they colluded with Xiliang and Nanli. They wanted to divide up our Great Zhou territory, but when they couldn't defeat them, they came over and asked for peace.

The shamelessness of your Emperor Liguo has completely refreshed my three views.

Is Li Kingdom on the decline? You used to look down on Xiliang Kingdom, but now you are flirting with it like brothers?"

"If you have the guts, continue fighting? Our emperor can lead the army in person, but your emperor is just hiding in the palace and barking like a dog, what's the point?" Bo Luohui said this, pointing to the recorder who was recording the negotiations between the two sides and said, "Write this down."

The recorder who left the country: "..."

"If something goes wrong, whose face will be slapped by pushing General Xiao Zhijie out?" Bo Luohui saw at a glance the intention of the Emperor of Liguo and his attitude of wanting to calm things down by pushing out a general to fight.

"Do you want our Great Zhou to take this opportunity to kill Xiao Zhijie and let this matter just pass? Our emperor will not let your emperor have his wish. He wants to take the responsibility of this war for the life of a great general?"

Xiao Zhijie remained expressionless.

In Song Huaiyan's eyes, his sculpture-like appearance looked so desolate.

General.

Once abandoned by the emperor, you are worse than a dog.

She couldn't help but put her hand on her abdomen to hide the bitterness in her eyes.

The note-taker was almost sweating.

Who knew that Bo Luohui's words were so sharp that he almost tore off Li Guo's fig leaf.

"Cede land and pay compensation. Otherwise, our Great Zhou will fight to the death with Liguo." Bo Luohui has always been gentle, and it is rare for him to be so tough. "The strength of our Great Zhou is far more than what you see on the battlefield. If Liguo does not want all its soldiers to die... then cede land and pay compensation without hesitation."

Prince Li was in a difficult situation because the conditions given by the emperor did not include a clause about ceding land or paying compensation.

"Can we exchange the land for silver or food?" King Li suggested.

"The Li Kingdom is too mean, and the food and grass they sent may be poisonous." Bo Luohui looked determined and turned to look at Shang Yan and Su Rutang. "Your Majesty, Queen. I think we cannot take the food and grass from the Li Kingdom."

Song Huaiyan was the first to second the motion:

"Ceding land is a good idea. Liguo is good at winning over the surrounding small tribes, letting these small tribes act as pioneers to harass and rob our Zhennan County. Why not... just give us the two cities between Liguo and the South Sea small tribes?"

All the pearls and giant clams collected by the small tribes in the South China Sea at sea were sent to the Li Kingdom.

This move can also sever the relationship between the Li country and the small tribes.

King Li felt very disappointed.

She knew that women from the Great Zhou were not easy to mess with.

Su Rutang smiled and nodded, "***'s words make sense. Then Yanzhou and Quanfu will be included in the compensation regulations. But this is still not enough, one million taels of silver, silk, jewelry and colored glaze..."

Su Rutang said something.

One more point of Khan than the king.

Only Xiao Zhijie remained silent, as he knew the real purpose of his coming here. Xiao Zhijie and Prince Li could not see the letter to the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

From the looks in their eyes, Xiao Zhijie also knew that he was a discarded pawn.

The first day of negotiations ended.

The two sides failed to reach an agreement.

The Li State believed that the Great Zhou was asking for too much, while the Great Zhou believed that the Li State needed compensation for the losses suffered in the war.

Otherwise, continue fighting?

Xiao Zhijie and King Li came out.

I haven’t seen Rong Rui yet.

Prince Li was standing outside waiting for Rong Rui. Xiao Zhijie caught sight of Song Huaiyan from the corner of his eye.

He made the excuse that he had to go to the back.

"Ayan."

Xiao Zhijie shouted when he was some distance away from Song Huaiyan.

Song Huaiyan turned around.

"Can I have a word with you alone?"

Song Huaiyan dismissed the people around him and took a few steps forward. "Walk in the Imperial Garden?"

"Isn't your palace afraid of me...?"

Song Huaiyan smiled lightly: "There are only a few of us in the palace. If you guard against me and I guard against you, how can we live?"

"Thank you."

Xiao Zhijie expressed his sincere gratitude.

He followed Song Huaiyan to the Imperial Garden, and they sat in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden.

"Why are you thanking me? It wasn't my order."

"It was not you who gave the order, but it was also because of you that Lu Yanfu avoided the attack on me." Xiao Zhijie's gaze fell on Song Huaiyan's face, and he was surprised to find that Song Huaiyan had lost a lot of weight.

"You've lost so much weight."

Song Huaiyan's eyes turned red, "I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"The Queen doesn't want my child to know that the explosives developed by his (her) mother killed his (her) father. That's why she ordered him to stay away from you." Song Huaiyan is a man of upright character. She doesn't want Xiao Zhijie to know that she has given birth to a child in the future.

Xiao Zhijie's surprised and delighted eyes moved to Song Huaiyan's belly.

"You mean I'm going to be a father in ten months?"

"Four more months."

"Can I touch it?"

"Ah."

Xiao Zhijie excitedly reached out and touched Song Huaiyan's belly, "I'm so stupid. I didn't even realize you were pregnant."

"Ayan, I'm going to have a child too."

"I'm going to be a father, and you're the child's mother." Xiao Zhijie became more and more excited. He felt that it would be worth it even if he died now. No, he couldn't die now. He hadn't given his property to Song Huaiyan yet.

There was a smile on Song Huaiyan's face.

She thought Xiao Zhijie would be more frightened than surprised.

Unexpectedly, after his initial surprise, he was left with only joy.

Xiao Zhijie kept his broad palm on Song Huaiyan's belly. "By the way, the old man, Prince Li, is not suitable for you. You should not marry him and live in Liguo."

"I'm crazy and I'm going to live abroad."

Xiao Zhijie smiled and said:

"That's good."

Song Huaiyan saw the sadness in his heart and placed her delicate hand on Xiao Zhijie's big hand.

"You'an. Don't be depressed. It's good for us to live in two different countries. For me, this relationship is not lost. But you can't come and snatch the child from me in the future. Go back and marry a wife and have children."

"I am… not fit to marry."

The words Rong Rui said flashed through Xiao Zhijie's mind.

Looking at Song Huaiyan again, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Wait for me to marry you."

Xiao Zhijie suddenly hugged Song Huaiyan in his arms, "Maybe it will take a long time. Ten or twenty years, Ah Yan, if you think I'm worth your wait, just wait for me, okay?"

Song Huaiyan hugged him with her backhand.

The two hugged each other tightly.

After a long time.

Song Huaiyan then spoke: "You should go back."

"Hey. Why do you live in the palace?" He really hoped that Song Huaiyan did not live in the palace, so that he could sneak into the princess's mansion.

Song Huaiyan smiled and said nothing.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Zhijie and Rong Rui remained silent.

Rong Rui sighed for a while.

For a while, he glared at King Li angrily.

When he arrived at the inn where the guests from the Ministry of Rites were staying, Rong Rui still had a pout on his face.

He tried his best today but failed to appease Yaoyao. Rong Rui knew how hard it was to appease a girl when she was angry. Yaoyao always remembered the scene when Rong Rui left him.

No matter how Rong Rui and Shang Qi coaxed him, he didn't say a word to Rong Rui.

night.

Prince Li needs to discuss some matters with some officials, so they can go to court together for negotiations tomorrow.

One of the officials wanted to prevent Xiao Zhijie from participating in the negotiations. "The emperor said that the soldiers of the Great Zhou should hate General Xiao. If he is at the negotiation site, some things will be difficult to discuss."

Prince Li pointed to the recorder and said, "Read to them what Minister Bo said."

King Li also went to the battlefield.

The more similar the generals are, the more they will sympathize with each other. All the wars were the emperor's idea, so why are the generals always the ones to take the blame?

He really found that his father was just as Bo Luohui said.

Rong Rui couldn't sleep.

Xiao Zhijie couldn't sleep either.

After he got up, he saw Rong Rui quietly going out.

Xiao Zhijie followed.

"Little prince."

Rong Rui: “…”

"General, why are you following me?"

"I think what you said to me last night makes a lot of sense, do you remember?"

Rong Rui shook his head until it became a shadow. "What did I say to you yesterday? We talked so much, who can remember what it was?"

Xiao Zhijie felt that there was no good person in the royal family of Liguo.

motherfucker.

He had the idea of ​​resigning.

It would be great if I could resign from my official position and marry into the *** family when the time comes. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhijie grinned.

Turn around and leave.

Rong Rui originally wanted to take control of Xiao Zhijie, but he never expected Xiao Zhijie to leave directly.

Rong Rui was left with a deep sigh, "General Xiao has a really bad temper."

The negotiations that lasted for several days collapsed.

The main issue was the cession of land and compensation. The officials of Liguo wanted to use the lives of a few soldiers to exchange for the cities that Dazhou needed.

Xiao Zhijie's name was ranked first.

Song Huaiyan was so angry that he added another city. He also threatened, "If you are not sincere, don't come to negotiate. I, the Great Zhou, will step on the land of Liguo and take your city personally."

"How dare a princess..."

When Su Rutang heard the Liguo official say this, he sneered and said, "Our princess has more power than the six ministers. Her words are the words of this palace and the emperor."
