Quick Wear: Is the Lord God showing double standards again today?
101 Emperor Development Strategy 26
I can’t think of it...Okay, forget it.
Su Junhuai didn't want to embarrass his little head
Mu Zijin slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my god, is there a welcoming banquet tonight to receive the princess and the envoys?"
"Why don't you wait until the dinner is over before you think about it?" Su Junhuai put down his chopsticks. He wasn't that hungry anyway.
If Mu Zijin hadn't asked him out, he would have wanted to follow Nanfeng to the Divination Hall and attend the dinner together.
Mu Zijin was also used to his good brother's teasing. "Isn't Uncle Li going on a mission? Sanlang, have you heard about it? A mysterious force has appeared in the royal family of the Qing Kingdom. Because of this force, the royal family has started internal fighting. This time, the princess was sent here to marry us so that we can help."
Su Junhuai just heard a little bit of the rumor and was not very clear about it. Nanfeng had never discussed this with him.
"Whoever helps Xi Country to ease the crisis this time will receive a huge favor from Xi Country. You should know that Xi Country is the richest place in the entire continent. There are many talented people there and there is no shortage of rich people." Mu Zijin said that he really wanted to go and see it.
"Does this have anything to do with Brother Li's mission?" Su Junhuai had no interest in places without Nanfeng.
"Of course, Uncle Li will be sent to guard the border because of this incident. The country of Qing is divided into the pro-war faction and the peace faction. The current emperor is against war. Once he is pushed down, who knows whether the country of Qing will be eyeing us covetously?" Mu Zijin said worriedly. He has been trying to persuade Li Gongqing and Mu Zijin to take him with him these days.
He really won't be a drag. Although he is not weak, he also knows some medical skills and bandages. He can stay away from the battlefield and help with some small things within his ability. It is better than staying at home and worrying about it. Moreover, he really doesn't want to leave Li Gongqing.
"Did they say who to send?" Su Junhuai always felt that Nanfeng was hiding something from him. Otherwise, why did he know less about these things than Mu Zijin?
Mu Zijin shook his head. "I don't know. Father said that His Majesty handed this matter over to the Imperial Master, but the Imperial Master hasn't decided on the person yet. Now those nosy old ministers are probably putting pressure on the Imperial Master."
"And Sanlang, I think the person chosen by the national teacher will be the best candidate for the position of crown prince, but the risk is also very high, and he may even lose his life. It depends on whether he dares to take a gamble." Mu Zijin whispered in Su Junhuai's ear.
Su Junhuai flicked his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful there are ears on the other side of the wall." He said this but his eyes drooped slightly as if he was thinking about something.
At the welcoming banquet, several princes seemed absent-minded.
According to the usual procedure, Su Bian took the upper seat and said, "No need to be polite, please send the envoy."
A sharp call rang out from outside, "The envoy of the Princess of Qin State is here to see you!"
The leader's clothing is made of the finest silk, light and soft, embroidered with exquisite patterns. He wears a wide belt around his waist, inlaid with various gems and pearls. There are also some small bells hanging on both ends of the belt. When he walks, the bells will make crisp sounds.
She wore a veil to cover her face, revealing her eyes as clear as autumn water, bright and deep, as if she could see through everything. It was not difficult to see that she was a beauty.
She walked to the center of the hall, put her hands on his shoulders, and said in fluent Qian country dialect, "Mu Jiaji Di greets His Majesty, may His Majesty be well."
Su Bian raised his hand slightly and said, "Princess, there is no need to be polite. You are a guest from afar, and we will be family soon."
A-di had no idea how approachable the emperor in front of her was. "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have received the letter from my father."
Su Bian paused while holding his wine glass. "Tonight is a welcoming banquet for the princess and the envoys, so let's not talk about this."
A-di frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, are you going to break the contract?" Her tone was questioning, without a trace of fear.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.
Nanfeng sat in the upper right seat and didn't care about the tension at the moment.
The Left Prime Minister looked at it for a while and came out. "Princess, don't worry. You are tired from the journey. His Majesty is also worried that it is not appropriate to discuss this important matter at this moment."
A-di didn't even look at the left prime minister with her beautiful eyes, she just kept looking at Su Bian, she must have an explanation. Since she dared to come to Qian country, she was ready to die.
Su Junhuai sat at the table and observed the princess. She looked very different from that night, and her personality was completely different. However, her figure and eyes proved that it was her.
So what Zijin said is true, then why didn't Nanfeng tell him? Su Junhuai looked at Nanfeng's position and met the man's gaze.
Nanfeng nodded his glass and shook his head slightly.
Su Junhuai understood. It meant that he was not allowed to drink. The atmosphere was already depressing, and he still had the time to forbid him from drinking?
Forget it, he always believed that Nanfeng would not harm him.
Nanfeng saw that the kid must have understood, so he looked at A-Di and tapped the table twice.
A-di glanced at it imperceptibly, then said nothing.
Su Bian seemed to feel that silence was useless and finally spoke, "What do you want, Princess?"
"Send troops to the Qin Kingdom!" A-di said firmly.
Su Bian frowned and scolded, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
A-di was not afraid. "I only know that if you don't send troops, my father will definitely die."
Su Bian seemed to be furious. "How dare you!"
A-di stood there stubbornly, and it was useless for the envoys behind her to persuade her.
Just when the ministers were lamenting that the princess lost her life because of her stubborn character and inability to adapt,
Nan Feng spoke up, "In that case, why not send someone to explore the depths of the Qin Kingdom, and then sneak into the palace to cooperate with the outside forces? What do you think, Princess?"
Nanfeng dared to say it here, which proved that no one would leak it or eavesdrop, otherwise Xiao Shitou would have to go back to the furnace and be remade.
Su Bian didn't understand why the national teacher who had never been involved in this matter suddenly spoke up, but it was also a relief.
Sending troops requires the right time, place and people. If we send troops to the Qian Kingdom casually, people will think that the Qian Kingdom was the first to break the treaty.
It would also give the pro-war party in the state of Qian an opportunity to start a war, which would not be worth the loss. It is not that the state of Qian cannot win or dare not fight, but that the people can no longer bear the displacement they suffered a hundred years ago.
Thinking about this, Su Bian looked at A-di and asked, "What do you think of the Imperial Master, Princess?"
The Right Prime Minister also spoke up, "I believe that the method of the Grand Master is effective and can also reduce losses."
"I second the motion." "I second the motion."...
A nice welcoming banquet turned out to be like a court ceremony.
A-di seemed to be in a dilemma and said reluctantly, "Then I will follow the Imperial Master's advice. I just don't know which warrior in your country is willing to sacrifice his life to help me."
The Left Prime Minister pondered for a moment, then glanced at the Empress, intentionally or unintentionally, to get a hint. He then stepped forward and said, "I believe the First Prince is qualified. He was raised by the Imperial Preceptor, and his martial arts teacher is General Mu. In terms of ability and talent, he is worthy of the title!"
Nan Feng looked at Zuo Xiang with sharp eyes. This old man was more or less an eyesore and he was tired of living.
Little Stone came out to spread the news, "Handsome brother, this Zuo Xiang seems to be from the Queen's mother's family. My poor mother's family was also exiled because of his false accusation."
Su Bian was about to say something
Nan Feng spoke up, "When did the Qian Kingdom become so depleted of talent that it needed the prince to go out and work for his country? Besides, why should the child I raised go to a foreign country just for a word from you? Who do you think you are?"
The Left Prime Minister did not expect that the Imperial Master would protect Su Junhuai so directly, without caring that His Majesty was still
"This is for the sake of the overall situation and the people. Master, please do not abuse your power for personal gain." The left prime minister knelt down and spoke with sincerity.
If Nan Feng hadn't seen the Queen wink at the old man, he would have almost believed that he was a loyal minister serving the country and the people.
"The overall situation you mentioned means using a prince who has not yet had his coming-of-age ceremony to pay the price for the righteousness you mentioned. It's too ridiculous. I didn't expect that the left prime minister would go back to his old age." Nanfeng laughed sarcastically.
The other old ministers below were silent. It was rare to see such a national teacher, with a sharp meaning all over his body.
The Left Prime Minister did not dare to say anything harsh. After all, his status and position were so high that even His Majesty was not afraid of him. "Your Majesty, I am thinking about the future of Daqian. This is a great experience for the eldest prince."
The little stone floated in front of the left prime minister and punched and kicked him, but he couldn't hit him. "You are such a wicked old man! I curse you to be bald and lose all your hair!"
“That’s enough…”
