The queen is a bit cowardly

When Chang Dai returned to Tianping City, it was already August. Chang Lan, like a prime minister, signed many agreements with Chang Dai on behalf of Fu Guo. After all, she was the daughter of Xin Guo. To a large extent, these agreements and treaties were Let Xin State take advantage of it. In return, Xin State will fully open all commercial roads from west to east, and strengthen the mountain roads that used to lead to Xin State from Fu State, and will send the best craftsmen to Fu land to inspect. The two countries are preparing to hand over together. The Baiyi River, the only waterway there, built a flood discharge dam, diverted the water and dug canals, and tried to build a new waterway.

Chang Huan looked at the official document sent by Chang Dai with a pensive look on his face.

"Your Majesty, it is Your Majesty's blessing that the eldest princess is dedicated to serving the country." Huo Xian said from the side, and Qiu Cheng also echoed from the side.

Chang Huan didn't answer, but was still thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, since the eldest princess's mission has ended, I should ask the eldest princess to return home quickly."

Naturally, there were different voices in the court. Since Ji Shuda took over his father's position and became the chief commander, he still actively expressed his dissatisfaction with Chang Lan and Jiang Qingluan.

Ji Shuda glanced at Chang Huan, thinking that Chang Huan ignored Huo Xian because he was looking forward to Chang Lan's return, but he didn't expect that Huo Xian would also ignore him.

The most difficult thing on his face was Chang Dai. He became more and more cautious, and even straightened his clothes. What about Chang Lan's persuasion to come back?

"Father," Chang Dai tried to speak: "Do you have any questions about the signed policy?"

Only then did Chang Huan change his sitting position. He was leaning on the dragon chair, looking a little tired. His expression was not particularly satisfied with this son, which made other people see it.

"The prince and the princess handled it very well," Chang Huan said.

One sentence made Chang Dai and the officials under the seat quiet again, and for a while, no one really understood Chang Huan's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, the former courtier ordered someone to stew some pigeon soup. It seems that the time is ready. Your Majesty wants to try it." Nie Ming asked in a low voice, but his words were audible in the quiet hall. Clearly.

"Yeah." Chang Huan responded to these words, and said: "Give some to the ministers."

"Here."

Nie Ming then sent his servants to make arrangements, and then he retreated to Chang Huan's side, not saying a word like Chang Huan.

Chang Dai knew that his father must have something in his heart, but the sacred intention is not so easy to figure out, but he faintly felt that it had something to do with Chang Lan, so he plucked up his courage and asked, "These agreements were drawn up by the eldest princess. The princess always believes in her father..."

As Chang Huan's eyes moved down, Chang Dai's voice also became softer.

"En." Chang Huan responded.

This reassured everyone that Chang Lan was related to the Holy Spirit's unhappiness today.

"Since the princess thinks so much about Your Majesty, let the princess come back." Ji Shuda stepped forward and repeated what he said just now, looking at the East Palace and Chang Huan from time to time.

"The soup is here, everyone should drink the soup first."

Nie Ming interrupted Ji Shuda's words, although he was just an intermediary and regular attendant, his closeness to the lord was incomparable among the three lords and nine ministers, and speculation about the holy will was not allowed, except for Nie Ming.

Ji Shuda gritted his teeth and stepped back, looking at Prince Chang Dai again, he was still standing respectfully in the court, Chang Huan didn't intend to let him sit back.

"My lords, try this soup first."

Chang Huan said something to Nie Ming again, and Nie Ming removed the paperwork on the table, and also stepped aside and began to drink pigeon soup. At this time, only Chang Dai became particularly conspicuous, this filial son only dared to stand He remained motionless in the center, surrounded by the delicious smell of pigeon soup and his own embarrassment.

"I still remember that year when I was still in Qiandi. I vaguely remember that you were 12 years old and had already drawn a bow. One day, you shot a pigeon for your sister. Your sister was unhappy, but she cried for a long time." Chang Huan Suddenly recalled the past as if nothing had happened.

Chang Dai really didn't know what his father was thinking, so he could only answer with his head buried in his voice: "The eldest princess has always been kind."

Putting down the pigeon soup, Chang Huan said again: "I am very satisfied with how you and Lan'er dealt with the two countries. With you two, I am very relieved."

"Thank you, father." Chang Dai didn't feel that Chang Huan was recognizing himself, but seemed to be blaming himself for not letting Chang Lan come back.

"Nie Qing, this pigeon soup is not bad." Chang Huan said, then swept the crowd in the hall, and asked, "What do you think?"

The emperor's question made everyone stop. In fact, whether the soup is good or not, it doesn't make any difference to Gongqing, so he had to answer in unison: "It's very delicious."

"Then Nie Qing will send some to all the ministers and workers after retiring from the court."

The idiot could also understand Chang Dai's meaning. He only heard Nie Ming sing "Back to the court", and they all got up to send the emperor off.Only Chang Dai was still standing in the middle of the hall. Chang Huan had never asked him to sit down since he handed over the official documents to him. Even the pigeon soup was on his table, which was obviously dissatisfied with him. The ministers and workers around sent Chang Huan away, but they still bid farewell to him one by one, but Chang Dai only felt aggrieved in his heart, and still stood motionless.

After everyone left, Nie Ming appeared in front of Chang Dai again.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

Chang Dai could feel Chang Huan's dissatisfaction with him. In fact, there was no need to say much. At that time, when he sent this dignified prince to go westward to Fu Kingdom, in addition to paying attention to the status of Fu Kingdom, the second thing was to ask him to bring Chang Lan back. He didn't directly mention his relationship with Jiang Qingluan, but no one could see it. There were even rumors about Chang Lan among the ministers of Shangjing, so how could Chang Huan sit idly by.

Entering Chang Huan's bedroom, although it is the emperor's residence, but as Chang Huan grew older, he also fell in love with the fresh and elegant style. There is no magnificence in the hall, but it is a little more simple and elegant. In a corner of the hall, there is still a birdcage, and the red-billed rare bird with five-color feathers makes a low chirp from time to time. Even these birds seem to have special rules when they enter the royal family, and they are so stable that they don't look like animals.

"Father."

Chang Dai knelt down immediately after entering the palace. He, the crown prince, did everything in a very appropriate way, and he did not make any great achievements or mistakes. Huan would also shake his face, but today he was so angry with himself because of Chang Lan's matter, which made Chang Dai a little confused.Chang Lan didn't want to come back, so could he snatch him back from Jiang Qingluan's army?

"Ah."

Chang Huan replied, he came out from behind Shaman, waved his hand to signal Chang Dai to get up, the young prince stood up and followed behind his father, always obediently like a child.

"Do you know why I am angry today?" Chang Huan asked.

"My son is incompetent, and I didn't let my sister come back to pay my respects." Chang Dai is the prince and his son, so he changed his name to Chang Lan as his sister.

Chang Huan walked to the cage, looked at his bird in the cage, and said, "If Lan'er is a man, what do you think?"

Chang Dai was taken aback, and said with a smile, "How could A-mei be a man?"

"If so?"

The emperor said yes, it must be true, not to mention that Chang Huan's question was definitely not a joke. Chang Dai thought about it seriously, but his heart tightened. man……

Chang Dai knelt down again: "If it's a man, then my minister..."

"Huh?" Chang Huan waited for Chang Dai's answer.

"My son must give up the East Palace and support Chang Lan as the heir."

Chang Huan pressed Chang Dai's shoulder and lifted his son up.

"Accompany me to sit in the backyard."

Chang Dai sang a song and followed. The tea table had already been set up in the backyard. When the maids saw the two coming, they put the brewed tea in front of the two tea machines. There is always no shortage of ice cubes in the house, and the little servants use fans to disperse the cool air generated by the ice cubes. The sun has risen a lot, but there is no heat at all.

After Chang Huan sat down, he naturally called his son to sit down, and he said, "If this Jiang Qingluan is a man, he would be a good match for your sister."

Chang Dai didn't know why, so he could only nod obediently.

"With the strength of a woman, she can turn the tide and lead the army westward to regain the throne. If it weren't for being a dragon and a phoenix among the people, how could she have such courage." Chang Huan said: "Your sister is addicted to such a woman and doesn't want to come back, I understand that too. .”

"Ah."

Chang Dai was still puzzled, since he could understand Chang Lan, why was he angry with himself.

"But my son, have you ever thought about whether Lan'er is reliable or Jiang Qingluan reliable?" Chang Huan asked rhetorically.

"The princes of the world are all the sons of the father and the emperor, but they are not in the same line. If they are not in the same line, they are only between the pros and cons. If there is a benefit, there will be long-term stability, and if there is no benefit, they will draw their swords against each other." Regarding the trend of the world, Chang Dai sees Not as deep as Chang Lan, but his heart is like a bright mirror.

"You said that if it was Dacheng who attacked our country by surprise, would Jiang Qingluan take action?" Chang Huan asked again.

"My son..."

Chengguo is now the overlord of the country, and it is short of directly winning the tripod and becoming the emperor. Jiang Qingluan won the throne.

"I don't know." Chang Dai went on to say, "I don't know if Jiang Qingluan will help me or not, but my sister will definitely help."

"Your younger sister is at Jiang Qingluan's place, do you think who has the final say between her and King Fu?" Chang Dai asked.

Without thinking deeply, Chang Dai replied, "King Fu."

"Only when your younger sister comes back can she help you to sit on the throne better. You always wanted her to marry far away, but now she has taken advantage of you." Chang Huan said: "Although the man It is to be more noble, but your younger sister is better than a man, but you lost her."

"Father is blaming me?" Chang Dai vaguely felt that Chang Huan seemed to be right.

Chang Huan didn't answer directly, but said again: "Fu Guo's horses are not enough, and our cavalry is not strong enough, son, you should think about how we can keep the throne for thousands of years if Cheng Guo commits crimes. The turmoil, the southern countries are far away from the water, and the near fire is far away, Chang Lan is in Fudi at this time, think about it carefully, since there will be no military agreement in the agreement you made with her, who will benefit from those terms of commerce after a hundred years?"

Most of the treaties written by Chang Lan were about business and taxation, focusing on trade, and indeed never mentioned anything about military affairs.

"Prince."

"Here."

"Think about it carefully, your younger sister stays in the country of Fu, will she do things for the country of Fu, or for the sake of her mother country." Chang Huan pointed to his son: "This is what you have to deal with now, not with Your sister is trying to fool me."
