The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Seeing Li Qingfeng angry, Wang Ruyi and Qin Keqing looked at each other, stood up and bowed to leave.

Li Qingfeng waved his hand, changed his expression and said gently,

"It's okay, I was just angry for a moment, you guys just sit down and eat."

After the two women sat down again, Qingfeng Li put down the secret report and cursed,

"This Peak Master's intention is very clear. If you give me the land south of the Yangtze River, I will temporarily stop and not make any more big moves."

"Is this old Xinglong mentally retarded? The Beijing troops are heading south, planning to bury them all in Yangzhou and abandon his imperial city?"

Frowning, he looked at Aunt Hua and asked,

"Does Monkey have any information on this matter?"

Aunt Hua looked at Wang Ruyi and the other two girls with a bit of embarrassment before continuing,

"Temple Master Shen has reported that at the Yangzhou inn, the imperial envoy, Prince of Beijing, Shui Rong, has received a new decree, saying, 'Yes, yes...'"

Qingfeng Li frowned.

"What does Daqian mean?"

Faced with Li Qingfeng's questioning, Aunt Hua had no choice but to bite the bullet and say,

"The imperial court has conferred upon Emperor Xinglong's daughter, Princess Huaiqing, the title of Princess Jinling. They intend to confer upon you the title of King of Wu and, at the same time, grant you the title of Princess Jinling in marriage as the King's Consort..."

Li Qingfeng: (((?1?9Д?1?9;)))

After a long while, Qingfeng Li finally came back to his senses.

Frowning,

"This old man Xinglong has such a deep plan!"

"Damn it, if I don't agree, will he kill me?"

Aunt Hua remained silent.

At this time, Wang Ruyi on the side spoke up to persuade,

"My dear husband, you raised your army in Yangzhou because of the countless oppressed people in the world."

"If we go to war with the imperial court now, I'm afraid it will leave the nine borders empty and give the Tartars outside the Great Wall an advantage."

As he spoke, seeing that Qingfeng Li's expression remained unchanged, he continued to persuade him,

"The imperial court's move may be an attempt to play up its righteousness, but it also gambles on the safety of most of the northern people, and even the safety of the Divine Capital."

"Husband, for the sake of the people of the world..."

Li Qingfeng waved his hands and cursed angrily,

"Gou'er Xinglong, if he just married a daughter, my family is rich and powerful, and I can still afford to support her with an extra pair of chopsticks."

As he spoke, he slapped the secret report on the table.

"Look at what he's doing?"

"Jinling is the next capital of this peak master. Old Xinglong gave his daughter the title of Jinling and arranged for her to marry me. What does this mean?"

"Besides, I can be crowned king myself, and the only princess consort is Yu'er! Do I have to accept his imperial decree?"

Wang Ruyi urged earnestly,

"My lord, our army is now invincible in the Hunan-Jiangxi region, but we are running out of strength going further west."

"If we can gain the support of the imperial court, we will surely be able to quickly stabilize the people's hearts and turn countless talents into our own use. This will also be extremely beneficial for the future rule of the Great Wu in the South!"

Qin Keqing also persuaded,

"Yes, my husband, although I am a woman, I also know that a little impatience can ruin a big plan!"

Qingfeng Li sighed softly.

"I know what you're talking about, but..."

He scratched his head and thought for a long time before telling Aunt Hua,

"Send a message to Wang Ziteng, and tell him two bottom lines."

"First, I can accept the title of the Imperial Court's bastard prince, but I won't allow Daqian to interfere. All the lands conquered by Dawu belong to us."

"Secondly, Yu'er must be my consort. As for that so-called Princess Jinling, I don't care about the title, but the position of principal consort, let the court forget about it!"

Aunt Hua bowed and accepted the order.

"Yes, Peak Master!"

Li Qingfeng waved his hands helplessly.

After Aunt Hua left, she sighed to Wang Ruyi and the other two girls,

"Alas! These are truly troubled times!"

……

Yangzhou.

After receiving the order from Jinling, Wang Ziteng immediately found Shui Rong and organized peace talks with him.

During this period, Shui Rong agreed to Li Qingfeng's first point on behalf of the court without hesitation.

After all, these places have been taken over by the Great Wu. Why should they ask the court to arrange officials for them?

However, on the second point, Shui Rong and the imperial court refused to give in at all.
