The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 280 Intricate
No matter how dull Bi Suinan was to political affairs, he understood his son-in-law's worries.

He had no plans for the prefect of Nankang at first, and after listening to his son-in-law's suggestion, he immediately said: "There is no problem with this, I will write a memorial to His Majesty tomorrow."

Lin Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The situation in Jiangnan has always been complicated, and His Majesty has sent a few more cronies there. Now it is a muddy pool, and we must not step into it."

Bi Suinan thought it was true, but Lin Zisu said, "The news has spread, and now that Grandpa is going to present the memorial, it may be too late."

Lin Zisu's words were like a thunderbolt. Seeing her grandfather and father looking at her, she added: "Grandpa suggested to His Majesty to open the sea ban, even if Grandpa doesn't try to grab their position, they will not let it go. Besides, once Grandpa resigns, His Majesty will only think that you are useless, and I am afraid that he will not protect you with all his heart."

Lin Yuanzhi knew that his daughter had a lot of opinions on political affairs, so he asked, "Sister, how do you deal with this matter?"

Lin Zisu looked at Bi Suinan with piercing eyes, and said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow. Since grandpa has proposed to open the sea ban, you can only bite the bullet and stick to it and make some achievements. As long as you have His Majesty's protection, those who want to come The censor can't do anything to you."

Having said that, with the changing political situation, Lin Zisu's conjectures seemed to be all in vain.

After the emperor suppressed the memorial to Bi Suinan, the censors did not stop their efforts. Instead, they gathered a few courtiers and wrote more than a dozen memorials, which were handed over through the General Secretary and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This time, he not only continued to participate in Bi Suinan's smuggling with pirates, but also brought Dun Wang Xiexi along.

It was said that Bi Suinan was the grandfather of the future Princess Dun, and the two were dissatisfied with the emperor's establishment of the crown prince, so they colluded internally and externally, intending to harm the prince.

The censors said with certainty, and also said that Xie Xi went to Jiangnan a few days ago, just wanting to deploy in Jiangnan in advance.

That night, there was a gossip in the palace that the crown prince Xie Yao went to see the emperor, saying that Xie Xi had misbehaved and should not be involved in the peace talks with Beidi.

The emperor readily agreed to Xie Yao's request.

In fact, the focus of the peace talks between the two parties was only those few items. Without Xie Xi's interference, the progress of the peace talks progressed extremely quickly.

Under the suggestion of the cabinet, Xie Yao made a huge concession, but within two days, Xie Yao and the third prince of Beidi finalized the draft of the peace talks.

Dayan and Beidi Border Pass ceased fighting and formed an alliance of brothers.

Dayan ordered the Wupu tribe to withdraw from Beidi. Since then, Beidi has stopped invading Dayan.

Xie Yao also assigned the six cities in Luyuan to Beidi on the grounds that the north of Jinlanguan was difficult to defend and easy to attack.

The two sides have opened border cross-markets to promote material exchanges.

Under the dissemination of people with good intentions, some contents of the book and the book quickly spread out.

"Beidi has violated Dayan all the year round, but he has been punished repeatedly. Since then, the northern border can rest easy."

"Yeah, I heard that Beidi's horses are cheap. I guess I can sell some horses in the future."

"Officials know people with their eyes, and the prince is wise and martial. He really is the demeanor of a prince of a country."

Of course, Xie Yao also knew that ceding the land was not a glorious thing, so when talking to the outside world, he didn't talk about ceding the six cities, but only said that His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolence relieved the suffering of the border people in the war.

For a time, both inside and outside the government and the public praised the prince.

Even Qian Minzhong, who had always been critical of Xie Yao, didn't say anything more.

Such a peace letter seems to be a certainty, and the emperor's consent is all that is needed.

"This is a peace talk that the prince has worked hard to promote. Tell me, what's the deal?"

In the Jiyi Hall, the emperor pointed to the Heshu in front of him and said to the cabinet.

Qian Minzhong is only temporarily acting as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and is still waiting for the emperor to let go. At this time, he will naturally not violate the emperor's taboo.

However, since he occupied this seat, he always wanted to be the first to express it, and immediately said: "Your Majesty the Crown Prince has done everything, and I admire you so much."

After Qian Minzhong finished speaking, he smiled at Lu Zhiyuan and said, "Lord Lu, your home seems to be in Luyuan, what do you think?"

The Lu family that Lu Zhiyuan lives in is a famous family in Luyuan, and they have quite a lot of influence in Luyuan.

Qian Minzhong thought that Lu Zhiyuan would object to ceding the six cities of Luyuan, but when he saw him, he had a calm expression and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"His Royal Highness's peace talks have solved Lu Yuan's distress and ensured a long-term peace on the border. On behalf of the people of Lu Yuan, I would like to thank the Emperor and His Highness."

As Lu Zhiyuan said, he bowed deeply to Xie Yao.

In Xie Yao's heart, Lu Zhiyuan had always been proud and arrogant, and he was always honest with others. He did not expect that Lu Zhiyuan would be so polite to him.

It was really a surprise that a peace talk had subdued an important figure in the DPRK.

Xie Yao politely returned half a salute to Lu Zhiyuan, and said, "Shangshu Lu is being polite. It is my duty to protect the country and the people."

With Qian Minzhong and Lu Zhiyuan starting up, the atmosphere in Jiyi Hall was very harmonious.

When they arrived at Weiyuan Marquis Fang Luan's place, they even had a few gossips with Qian Minzhong, which was really beyond everyone's expectation.

Fang Luan, Marquis of Weiyuan, was summoned by the emperor to discuss matters today. Seeing that he was uncharacteristically agreeing with the cabinet's opinion, the emperor was quite displeased, and took advantage of the gap between the cabinet's speeches, and shouted: "Marquis Weiyuan, tell me , will the peace talks with Beidi be expected by everyone?"

Fang Luan was a little embarrassed by this question.

Military generals have always scoffed at peace talks, not to mention, the ancestors of the governors of the five armies' governors' mansions were all titans who followed the Taizu in the southern and northern wars.

At that time, Beidi was the defeated general of Dayan. Although time has passed and the situation has changed, Beidi's power has become stronger and stronger, and Dayan has few generals who can fight Beidi.

But in the minds of all the generals, Beidi was always dismissed.

If the terms of ceding the city are spread, the generals are afraid that they will fall out.

Fang Luan had to worry about the reality.

As the concubine selection came to an end, it seemed that Fang Qingge's name as the crown princess was about to be finalized.

This agreement was negotiated by Xie Yao. As Xie Yao's future father-in-law, Fang Luan naturally wanted to say something nice for Xie Yao.

However, the meaning of the emperor's words seems to be that he is not very satisfied with this and the details in the book. If he just praises it blindly, he is afraid that the emperor will underestimate their five-army commander's mansion.

Fang Luan turned his mind and said: "For many years, the people on the border have suffered greatly from the war with Beidi. It is natural that people want to stop the war. Don't take it too seriously."

The emperor let out an "oh" and asked, "The Marquis of Weiyuan means that you are very satisfied with this peace talk?"
