Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Prince Duan was puzzled as to why Prince Yi seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, and every word he said made him speechless.

Zhou Chang wanted to retort again.

"Don't say anything, both of you." Prince Rong saw that the emperor's face was livid, so he came out to smooth things over and change the subject. "Father's illness is due to his worries about state affairs, especially the floods in the south and the unfavorable war situation in the north. It can be said that both the inside and the outside are anxious. It would be better to negotiate peace, which can also alleviate the suffering of the people."

"Your Majesty, I, Liu Mu of the Celestial Observation Department, have something to report," Liu Mu also interrupted, "Your Majesty, I observed the sky last night and saw the killing star next to the Purple Star flashing and rushing towards the Purple Star. I'm afraid that the war is going to be unfavorable. The Azure Dragon in the east is covered by clouds, which is why Your Majesty's dragon body is slightly ill. The court should defend itself and keep the Purple Star in the north, so that the world can be peaceful."

Zhou Chang didn't understand and thought it was just nonsense.

"Your Majesty, I, the Imperial Censor He Tao, also have something to say," He Tao followed out and shook his head helplessly, "From the battle report, it seems that this failure was caused by improper tactical arrangements in the early stages. Now we have lost two vanguards and thousands of soldiers at once. If we are secluded now and the weather is really unfavorable, I suggest you withdraw your troops and negotiate peace."

He is the father of Princess He of Rong Prince, and the father-in-law of Prince Rong.

Prince Rong also lamented, "Lord He is right. Judging from the battle reports, nearly 10,000 soldiers of Lin State have been killed or injured in this battle. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. It's almost the end of the year, and the war has been going on for almost three years. The court and the people can't drag it on any longer. Please, father, please consider the people and make a decision as soon as possible."

As soon as Prince Rong said this, others echoed his opinion.

Emperor Feng Xun sat there in silence, and no one could tell his attitude.

Wu'an Marquis Jiang Rui, who was over 70 years old, was still strong and his voice was as loud as a bell: "It's a pity that I am old, otherwise I would have personally taken to the battlefield. The opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, so it is better to withdraw the troops and recuperate now."

Marquis Wu'an Jiang Rui is the second of the so-called "one family, two marquises and three generals". He is both a marquis and a general who can ride a horse to fight in battles. He married Princess Pingning, the cousin of Emperor Lin. He is also the uncle of Princess Xian Jiang, so he can be considered half a royal relative.

This time, Prince Xian is leading the troops, and his son Jiang Meng is the deputy governor-general, so he should have advocated war. Why is he advocating peace talks now?

The voices of the ministers below who were discussing peace became even louder.

Most people advocate peace talks?

Gradually, Zhou Chang was able to match Prince Yi's memories with the faces in front of him without any difficulty.

But the more she listened, the more she couldn't help but think of what she heard that day under the rockery in the Imperial Garden.

Although we don’t know who the three people talking in the pavilion were at that time, there is no guarantee that they were not among those who advocated peace talks.

Shangshu Ling Ding Mao is the uncle of King Xian, who is still at the front line. He must speak out at this time: "Your Majesty, this battle must be fought. The 'Anbei Agreement' has long been worthless. Please send reinforcements."

Lin State was founded on military power, and those who joined the army could easily be promoted.

Therefore, King Xian volunteered to go to the battlefield.

Zhou Chang finally waited for someone to stand up and support the dispatch of troops, and quickly followed suit: "Father, this battle must be fought, and our Lin Kingdom will win."

The three of them were in the pavilion that day, and although the sounds were vague, she could hear them very clearly.

As long as the war is delayed, even if the king of Mirage Kingdom does not die, he will definitely be seriously ill or critically ill. By then, Mirage Kingdom will have no intention of fighting, and Lin Kingdom will be able to win easily.

Wu'an Marquis Jiang Rui turned his face away and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi has never understood political affairs, let alone military affairs. Why are you interjecting? You must know how difficult it is to use troops and how difficult it is to govern the court."

Prince Duan sneered at the other side, and then turned to Emperor Lin: "Father, the treasury is already stretched to the limit. The imperial mausoleum is about to be completed, but the missing silver has not yet been replenished. This war has been delayed for nearly three years and we can no longer afford it."

After saying that, he glared at Zhou Chang fiercely.

In Prince Yi's memory, Prince Duan and Prince Xian had always been on good terms with each other.

If we oppose reinforcements at this time, wouldn't that be undermining King Xian's reputation?

Prince Rong's father-in-law, Imperial Censor He Tao, immediately followed up: "Your Majesty, if we talk about consumption, the Mirage Kingdom is not in an advantageous position, but they have been occupying the three states of Yuebei and harassing the border all year round. Consumption has been going on for a long time. If this continues, our Lin Kingdom's treasury will suffer heavy losses. If we negotiate peace, we can stop the losses and allow the people to recuperate."

When talking about the loss of money, Emperor Lin was finally moved.

Prince Rong was still concerned about the people: "If we can win the battle, we can take back the three states, but if we lose... the 'Anbei Agreement' signed before is still there, and peace talks may not be a bad compromise. After all, we have been fighting for almost three years, and we have to give the people a break."

Zhou Chang had to go up at this time: "Father, we can't fight a war halfway. The Mirage Kingdom is just a bandit group that has gone crazy because of poverty. If we withdraw our troops to negotiate peace this time, there will be another time..."

Both she and Prince Yi held the same view.

"You are talking without any concern. How do you know the difficulties of the court and my father?" Prince Duan interrupted her before she could finish.

Zhou Chang finally realized that unless she kept silent, as long as she spoke, Prince Duan would definitely oppose her.

How stupid! In order to oppose Prince Yi, he even ignored the affairs of the state.

Zhou Chang couldn't help but shake his head at Prince Duan in his heart. That's it? Still want to fight for the throne?

At this moment, a eunuch in a crimson brocade robe, with a fat figure and a fair face, walked in, followed by two young eunuchs, carrying a large brocade box.

Fang She, the most important eunuch in the inner palace, is the childhood friend of Emperor Lin Feng Xun.

Fang She walked straight to the side of the Emperor Lin, his face was full of smiles, his big goldfish-like eyes were squeezed into the flesh, and he bowed to report to the Emperor Lin: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from His Royal Highness Prince Yi, it has just been delivered."

The gift Yuan Qi prepared was indeed heavy, otherwise she would not have easily landed it on the carriage.

But it’s still too exaggerated for two people to carry it, right?

Emperor Feng Xun only took a glance and waved his hand, showing a lack of interest, indicating that it should be taken down.

???

What's happening here?

Emperor Lin looked down on his son Prince Yi, and even looked down on the gifts he sent?

Fang She also blinked so hard that he got cramps, but Emperor Lin remained unmoved.

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Chang was about to speak.

"Your Majesty, you should open it and take a look. What's inside..." Fang She took the lead and leaned close to Emperor Lin's ear, whispering something in a voice that both of them could hear.

The reason why this person was able to sit firmly in the top position of the inner court chief was certainly not because of his ability, but because he "followed the master".

Emperor Lin was greedy for money and lustful, so he followed his example and forgot his principles for the sake of profit.

For all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, he can basically tell the difference at a glance.

After receiving the "clear instruction", Emperor Lin nodded reluctantly.

Fang She stepped forward and opened the brocade box himself.

Suddenly, the Emperor Lin's drooping eyelids suddenly lifted up. "The wind is so strong, will a coin blow into my face?

The traffic is so low, will there be a click?"
