Happy Emperor

Chapter 72 Conditions for Peace

In the South Study, only Lin Ruxue and her husband were left.

Lin Ruxue looked at the letter in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, and her face was full of frost.

She originally wanted to give Lin Tian a warning, but she didn't expect that after arriving in Shengjing, she would be restrained by him at every step.

Not only did Lin Tian not take the initiative to meet her, but now he even dared to play tricks on her like this.

"Miss, are we really going to the military camp to meet that tyrant?"

Lin Qiaoqiao asked with some concern.

"Of course I have to go." Lin Ruxue crumpled the letter in her hand and said coldly.

She is now becoming more and more "interested" in this cousin whom she has never met.

A tyrant ruler known to all the people of Da Xia.

It seems that it is not as stupid as the rumors say.

"But......"

Lin Qiaoqiao hesitated. "Will there be any problems if we go to the military camp alone like this?"

It's not surprising that she has such concerns.

The two armies are now in a standoff.

If the two appeared in the enemy camp as special envoys, they would easily be accused of spying on the army's secrets.

By then, if Emperor Li really wants to take action against them, he will have enough reasons.

"Don't worry, he won't dare to embarrass us easily. Since ancient times, when two armies are at war, they never kill envoys."

Lin Ruxue said confidently, "Besides, I don't think he really wants to tear his face off and fight to the death with my father."

"Miss, how can you be so sure?"

Lin Qiaoqiao looked puzzled and said, "I heard that Emperor Li not only mobilized 100,000 soldiers to Liao'an and Jifeng provinces, but also sent a large amount of food. Doesn't this mean that he is ready for war?"

"If he really wants to start a war, do you think Zhen Niu Meng will stay safely in Shengjing and pass this news to my father?"

"this......"

After listening to it, Lin Qiaoqiao felt that it made sense, but she still didn't understand the emperor's purpose.

"Then why did he do that?"

"Hmph!" Lin Ruxue snorted coldly, "Just putting on an act."

In her opinion, Lin Tian's move was completely a bluff.

As long as his father decided to march north, he would immediately ask for peace.

"You're just a weakling, you think you can scare me like this!"

Lin Ruxue had a look of disdain on her face and stood up and walked out of the palace.

.......

In the big tent of the Infantry Commander's Office, Lin Tian was warming his hands by the fire.

Calculating the time in my mind.

"It's almost time." Lin Tian thought to himself, "Are my intentions too obvious? According to Daxia law, special envoys are not allowed to enter the military camp. If they do, they may be executed."

The reason why he asked the special envoy of King Pingdong to come to the military camp to meet him was not just to show him the military power.

Now he was sure that this envoy was not an ordinary person.

If it is the prince.

If he dared to come to the military camp, Lin Tian would have a reason to tie him up.

If King Pingdong marches north at that time, he will have the means to threaten the enemy.

He has no bottom line when it comes to dealing with his enemies.

But after all, he is the emperor, and everything he does must be done with reason and basis.

Entering a military camp without permission is a good reason to detain the envoy.

Just when Lin Tian was worried that the special envoy of King Pingdong would not dare to come, a foot soldier ran in from outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, General Huang, there are two people outside the camp requesting an audience."

"I understand. You go down first." Lin Tian said in a deep voice.

Huang Tianba was stunned when he heard this, then turned his gaze to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian, ​​with a smile on his face, said to Huang Tianba, "Go and fetch him. The special envoy of King Pingdong is here."

"Special envoy of the King of Pingdong?"

Huang Tianba was even more confused: "Your Majesty, aren't special envoys from vassal kings not allowed to enter the military camp?"

"Yes, so they have openly violated the laws of Daxia. If I am unhappy, I can tie them up."

"Your Majesty, I will go and fetch them in right away."

Huang Tianba also had a wicked smile on his face and walked out of the tent quickly.

After a while.

Lin Ruxue and the other person appeared in front of Lin Tian under the leadership of Huang Tianba.

"Special envoy of the King of Pingdong, meeting the Sixth Prince."

"I, a humble servant, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

After Lin Ruxue and Lin Qiaoqiao walked into the big tent, they bent their bodies slightly and saluted Lin Tian in a cold voice.

Lin Tian didn't reply, but just looked up at the two of them.

"This skin is so delicate. Is the climate and soil in the south so nourishing?" Lin Tian thought to himself.

If it weren't for the fact that the two were dressed as men, Lin Tian would have thought that King Pingdong had sent two women to negotiate with him.

But he also found the two people's choice of words very interesting.

He was actually called the Sixth Prince instead of the Emperor.

It seems that he does not recognize the legitimacy of his imperial power at all.

"You two bastards, didn't the King of Pingdong teach you any etiquette? Don't you know you need to kneel before the Emperor?"

Although Huang Tianba is rough, he is also a person with a delicate mind.

It was seen that when the two men saw Emperor Li, not only did they not kneel down to greet him, but they also tried to be clever in their way of addressing him.

He started scolding the two of them and was even trying to force them to kneel down.

When Lin Qiaoqiao heard this, she was about to argue with Huang Tianba, but was stopped by Lin Ruxue.

Lin Tian also spoke with a smile.

"Tianba, don't do it. The emperor's uncle's envoy doesn't know etiquette, we have to have it."

He was very satisfied with Huang Tianba's performance.

One red face and one black face were dressed up like this.

"I wonder what the relationship is between the two envoys and my uncle?" Lin Tian asked straight to the point.

"But she is..."

When had they ever been treated like this in their own territory? Lin Qiaoqiao came up and revealed Lin Ruxue's identity.

But he was interrupted by Lin Ruxue's cold voice.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, I am the General of Chariots and Cavalry under the Prince of Pingdong," Lin Ruxue replied coldly, "I have come here today on behalf of the Prince of Pingdong, the Grand General, to discuss state affairs with the Sixth Prince."

She was not lying. She had been a martial artist since she was a child and was passionate about military affairs.

When she was just twenty years old, she was appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry by King Pingdong, and her position in the army was second only to her father, the General.

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them.

Although the person behind him didn't say anything just now, Lin Tian was even more certain that the leader's identity was extraordinary.

But he immediately determined the person's identity.

According to news records, King Pingdong Lin You had a son and a daughter.

The son was over thirty years old, but he did not inherit the warlike bloodline of King Pingdong and did not like the use of force.

The person in front of him was obviously not the son of King Pingdong.

Could she be the daughter of King Pingdong?

Lin Tian looked up and down at the person who was speaking curiously.

The more I look at him, the more I feel that the person in front of me looks more like a woman.

But he didn't think that a woman could become a general of the three armies.

"General of Chariots and Cavalry? You are indeed young and promising!"

Lin Tian replied coldly.

"I wonder what the King of Pingdong sent you to discuss with me?"

Lin Ruxue did not reply immediately, but looked at Huang Tianba beside her.

"He is my confidant, you can tell me what you want to say." Lin Tian said in a deep voice.

Lin Ruxue hesitated a little, but still spoke.

"I won't beat around the bush in front of the Sixth Prince. Prince Pingdong knows that the Crown Prince is in your hands. I hope the Sixth Prince will hand the Crown Prince over to us, or assist the Crown Prince in inheriting the throne and hand over Shengjing and its three provinces to the Crown Prince. As long as the Sixth Prince agrees, Prince Pingdong will never launch a northern expedition, and is willing to give you a province from his territory as a vassal."

Lin Tian neither admitted nor denied it, but just looked at Lin Ruxue quietly.

Seeing Lin Tian looking at her like that, Lin Ruxue spoke again.

"Daxia's current situation is due to the lack of a monarch. As long as the crown prince inherits Daxia's orthodoxy and commands the vassal kings throughout the country to submit, the Seven Kingdoms will surely not dare to bully Daxia again..."

Before Lin Ruxue could finish her words, Lin Tian interrupted her coldly, "Is it that since I am not the late emperor's son, I cannot make the vassal kings submit just because I inherit Daxia?"

"Sixth Prince, throughout the dynasties, only the eldest son can inherit the throne in accordance with the will of heaven and win the support of the people. I hope you can put the overall situation first."

Lin Ruxue advised earnestly.
