After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 373
Then, Emperor Xirong voluntarily withdrew his troops to make peace and asked to exchange the items for the prince.

Xirong is definitely the most treacherous country. In the past, Xirong and Daxing waged wars. After losing, they would take the initiative to ask for peace. Either send a few beauties, or send a little supplies to ask for forgiveness. Next, they will be honest for a few years. Then they took Xirong's special products and pretended to pay tribute in exchange for Daxing's rare gold, silver and jewelry. This time, they obviously had such an idea again, and Su Yuanhou directly scoffed at it and ignored it at all.

While refusing to meet Xirong's envoys, he sent someone to report back to the capital about Xirong's request for peace.

So as soon as the candidates started the second field test, the emperor received the memorial of Xi Rong's peace.

The ministers in the court were directly divided into three factions. One faction agreed to Xirong's proposal and asked Xirong to sign a contract and never invade within 30 years.Their reasons are also quite good. Beiliang is still staring at Youzhou City covetously. They can deal with Xirong first, and only then can they deal with Beiliang without any worries.

One faction asked Su Yuanhou to fight back directly to teach Xirong a lesson so that they would not commit another crime in the future. How many troops and supplies did Daxing lose after so many years?
Their reasons are also very good. The blind compromise made the surrounding countries forget that Daxing will win the world immediately. Since Xirong is dishonest this time, let them come out to scare the chickens and monkeys!
There is another faction, that is, the complete neutral faction.

If the emperor says to fight, then fight. If the emperor says to make peace, then make peace. They are courtiers, as long as they obey the emperor's orders.

It seems that these people are the worst. They eat people's food and don't do human affairs. They dare not speak out with their salaries. Officials of this faction are also squeezed out by the other two factions.

There was an endless quarrel in the court. After the court, the emperor left some ministers and sons to discuss business matters. The prince was the main one, and the gentle and gentle second child was naturally the main one. If you don't dare to speak freely, you will be of the neutral group.

Ye Hanyu and the old man looked at each other without saying a word.

Gu Xian: [Mingxi's exams must have already started, I don't know if the questions are difficult or not? 】

Ye Hanyu: 【The concubine went to Zhuangzi with the fifth sister-in-law without saying a word. It has been two days, and she has no intention of coming back. It seems that after the office, I have to ask the fifth brother to arrest him.Without the concubine's company, I haven't rested for two nights. 】

Weng and son-in-law were all fuzzy together, the key was because they stood back on purpose, Ye Hanyu could still hear the father-in-law's voice, now the two of them lost their minds together and were caught by the emperor, so the emperor called his name.

"Gu Aiqing, what do you think?"

Gu Xian was shocked immediately, and withdrew his wandering thoughts, and then took a step to reply cautiously and respectfully, "Returning to the emperor, did Marquis Suyuan's battle report include the number of our total casualties, how much the people lost, and the restoration of the city after the war?" These things?"

The emperor: "No."

Except for the casualties of soldiers, other things, such as fighting, no general can write.

"Then, is there a list of materials that Xi Rong seeks peace with?"

In the memorial sent by Marquis Suyuan, there was indeed a letter of peace petition submitted by the envoys of Xirong. The tone was extremely sincere, but the specific materials for compensation were not written.

The emperor shook his head first, and then handed over the two memorials from Marquis Su Yuan, and Li Changhai, Xirong's request for peace, to Gu Xian.

The military commanders wrote the memorials very directly, without those eulogizing ornate rhetoric at the beginning, it was basically just asking for peace and then talking about the matter, the memorials were also simple and easy to understand, Gu Xian read it with just two eyes.

"Since these things are not clear, it is useless for us to discuss them. In my opinion, it is better to let Marquis Suyuan send Prince Xirong to Beijing first, and then count the losses in the army, the casualties of soldiers, and the loss of weapons. , the consumption of food and grass, these things are more complicated, and the affairs in Ganzhou city will be handed over to the Ganzhou prefect for statistics, ranging from large houses on the city walls to small chickens and ducks of the common people. At that time, just negotiate again, they are willing to compensate according to the price and give a certain amount of compensation, we can release him, if Xi Rong disagrees, hehe..."

Everyone in the hall: This sound is really good!
Because everyone understands the meaning of this hehe, that is, if Xirong doesn't give money, then they will fight directly. Anyway, Prince Xirong is in hand, they are afraid of a ball!

The emperor thinks more, and now Beiliang is still eyeing him and has not given up the idea of ​​attacking Daxing. It is not a bad thing to solve Xirong quickly, but he does not want to suffer. Gu Xian's method is wonderful. It can be delayed for about a month, and the envoys of Xirong will come to the peace talks again, and it can be delayed for a while. The Beiliang side that has been procrastinating like this may be resolved. Even if Xirong does not obediently pay the money, Daxing can go all the way Go west and hit Xirong's lair!

Thinking about it this way, there is simply no better way to deal with it than this.

Moreover, the courtiers who were originally divided into three factions, but actually there were only two factions, all agreed with this handling method, and no one could say anything against it.

The crown prince's second child and seventh child all looked at Gu Xian with a trace of fear in their eyes. At this time, they all came up with an idea. If Gu Xian was lucky and transferred to Beijing a few years ago to stay in office, there might be one of them in the position of prime minister. his.

Now they are really grateful to those officials who have hindered Gu Xian's promotion.

They quietly looked at Ye Hanyu again: 【Fortunately, Lao Liu doesn't want to fight. If not, with such a father-in-law, what else can Lao Liu do? 】

Ye Hanyu, who was inexplicably envied and hated: ...it's none of my business again?Well, the matter of my father-in-law is indeed my business!
After listening to Gu Xian's speech, these old ministers were so angry!
Damn Gu Xian, he has such a good idea, why didn't he say something in the morning?
As a result, so many of them were summoned to Chaoyang Temple and punished to stand for a long time.

Especially Minister of the Ministry of War, who is in his 50s, really hurts his legs when standing.

So after the emperor gave the final word and let everyone retreat, everyone left Chaoyang Palace silently. After they left the city gate, those veteran officials surrounded Gu Xianji all at once. face, opened his mouth and began to scold Gu Xian.

Gu Xian was squeezed in the middle and wanted to speak but the crowd didn't give him a chance, he wanted to say but couldn't say it, he was misunderstood by the three princes who came out together, and turned into anger. Looking at the reactions of several important ministers, they were all relieved In one breath: So what if you have the ability?As far as Gu Xian's unpleasant temperament is concerned, it is estimated that he can only hold back the sixth child.

So the three left in peace.

Then after the three left, things didn't develop as they had imagined.
