"As for the losses of the surrounding people, we will use the money we have confiscated from the deer and gold merchants to make up for it."

Su Qingluo looked at the others, seemingly waiting for their suggestions.

The Privy Councilor first expressed her agreement. After the previous Privy Councilor resigned due to old age, she was promoted by Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou. Of course, this was the case on the surface, but in fact, Wen Zhimiao also assisted her behind the scenes.

Among the important officials in the court, including the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of the Chancellery, the Censorate, the Supreme Court, and officials from the six ministries, the proportion of female officials is still very small, and the system can only be maintained if there are successors with female officials.

It just so happens that the current Privy Councilor has both good abilities and background.

He is also a member of the Luan family, but he has no relationship with Luan Xuefeng. If you have to say, he can only be considered a distant relative, and a very distant relative at that.

Luan Quwen is also quite a legendary person. In fact, she became famous earlier than Cui Suhua, Luan Xuefeng and others. She was already guarding the border before Su Qingluo ascended the throne.

She knew Beirong better than many people. During the years when her father was seriously injured and unable to get up, all military affairs were handled by her as a major general.

When she was thirteen years old, she broke out with twenty cavalrymen, brought reinforcements for her father, and lifted the siege of the border town.

She had been guarding the north for decades since then, until Su Qingluo ascended the throne and promoted her step by step.

When Su Qingluo ascended the throne, he did not ask her to mobilize troops. One reason was that the place where she was was very important, as she was guarding another key point where Tianqi and Beirong met.

After Su Qingluo ascended the throne, he was conferred an official position, and then he was promoted step by step.

The Privy Council felt that there was no problem, and the Minister of the Central Secretariat also expressed his agreement. This old man, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, had always stood on Su Qingluo's side, and he had also contributed to Su Qingluo's ascension to the throne.

The main reason is that Su Qingluo’s political ideas are consistent with his.

Shi Guanchao didn't say anything until the others thought what Wen Zhimiao said was feasible, then she nodded.

“But I think we cannot just let them off so easily. We should at least condemn them,” Shi Guanchao said again.

Su Qingluo smiled and said, "Let's leave this matter to the Privy Council, the Secretariat, and the Ministry of Rites to discuss."

"We obey your orders." The Minister of the Central Secretariat sighed in his heart. This was not an easy job.

Wen Zhimiao was not punished and was even rewarded.

Yun Zhou was too lazy to talk the whole time. It was not until they finished and everyone had left that she looked at Su Qingluo and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to eat roast chicken? I've asked the imperial kitchen to prepare it." Su Qingluo answered her softly.

Wen Zhimiao looked at Yun Zhou and couldn't help but say, "Zhou Zhou, you are really acting bad now."

Yun Zhou looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is there anything I need to do? The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."

Wen Zhimiao snorted, "If mother really believed in this, she wouldn't have brought you here."

Yun Zhou looked at Su Qingluo seriously and said, "You can do it yourself next time."

Su Qingluo glanced at Wen Zhimiao dimly, and Wen Zhimiao touched his nose.

Forget it, just come on. If he gets angry, I can still try to persuade him.

In the afternoon of that day, the documents sent by Tianqi to various countries came out.

Reality condemned the ministers of several countries for entering Tianqi without submitting documents, and listed one by one what these people had done in Tianqi that violated the agreement between countries, and asked them whether they wanted to go to war with Tianqi.

Finally, special greetings were expressed to Dong Lan. Dong Lan not only disrupted the order of Tianqi within the territory of Tianqi, but also murdered Prince Lu Jin within the territory of Tianqi. His crime is unforgivable.

At the same time, he listed all the bad deeds that Donglan had done to the people of Tianqi, and officially issued a document of conquest.

As soon as the expeditionary document came out, the various forces within the Tianqi territory finally understood that Tianqi was taking over their hands and giving itself a legitimate reason to fight.

But now that it has happened, we can't stop it even if we want to.

Only Hu Yanguo's people breathed a sigh of relief. The peace talks between Tianqi and Beirong ended before they even began, which meant that Tianqi still needed them to contain Beirong.

The next day, Hu Yanguo's envoy delivered documents to Tianqi and offered a lot of things, saying that they were New Year's gifts to His Majesty the Emperor Tianqi, although there was still some time before the New Year.

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou looked at the document. Yun Zhou couldn't help laughing: "This new Khan of Huyanguo is quite capable."

"Only twenty years old?" Yun Zhou remembered that the new Khan was the youngest son of the previous Khan. He was deeply loved by his father and was carefully trained.

There was also a misunderstanding back then. The previous Khan of Huyanguo heard a rumor from somewhere that the Emperor Tianqi loved beautiful people and almost sent his youngest son with good looks to marry.

Later, I heard from somewhere that the Emperor was not interested in men but women, and he almost sent his daughter over.

Unfortunately, my daughter had someone she liked, so the relationship ended up in nothing.

However, since then, many small countries in the west have wanted to follow suit. Especially after the westward trade route was slowly reopened, people often wanted to send beauties to Su Qingluo.

Yun Zhou became jealous many times because of this. In the end, no matter who sent the beauties, they became other officials' property. Su Qingluo was not one to be accepted anyway, so those guys who sent the beauties gradually realized that she was really not interested in beauty.

Some envoys were also reminded by some kind-hearted officials that His Majesty was not averse to women, but was deeply in love with Censor Yun.

Since both of them are girls, there is no need to worry about either of them suffering from the pain of childbirth. In this way, even the so-called sharing of the burden is unnecessary.

There are also those who say that His Majesty the Emperor loves His Highness Yuan Zhao too much and will not give birth to other children, for fear that His Highness Yuan Zhao cannot bear someone taking away his motherly love.

After hearing this, Wen Zhimiao felt that you guys are still good at making up stories.

But the result is good enough.

Naturally, Su Qingluo had no need to refuse Hu Yanguo's tribute, and even ordered a banquet to entertain the envoy.

On the day of the banquet, Prince Wen Zhimiao would naturally attend.

Although she didn't want to go at all.

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou are now in a state of half-letting go, leaving many things to Wen Zhimiao, and the answer is: go ask the prince.

Wen Zhimiao has never had a rest since Tianqi sent troops to Donglan.

Now that Hu Yanguo's people have come, she is also responsible for receiving them.

The envoy this time was Princess Hu Yan, who was almost given to Su Qingluo.

Princess Nob is also the diplomatic envoy of Huyanguo.

Wen Zhimiao felt a headache when he thought about this.

There will be a scientific examination in a few days, and she has to be the invigilator.

It feels like there are a lot of things happening all of a sudden.

On the day Hu Yanguo submitted the documents, Wen Zhimiao was busy, so she asked Su Yubing, a scoundrel from the Ministry of Rites, to help her receive the guests. He also promoted her official rank and increased her salary.

He went directly to the Ministry of War.

To receive Hu Yanguo's envoy, a banquet is inevitable, and they can go to a special banquet room, but Wen Zhimiao thought about it and decided that moving to the East Palace could not be delayed any longer.
