Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1060 Is there anything more disgusting than this?
"Good son!"

Jiang Jiuniang gave him a thumbs up. In fact, she didn't feel guilty at all. After all, the dog was still young, and she still felt that the child should have fun for a few years.

Therefore, she was actually still thinking about waiting for autumn to find some excuse to stop it.

How did Gou'er know that his old mother was so thoughtful? When he saw his old mother smiling, he happily continued to practice martial arts.

He practiced for a while and played a few games with his father, which was very enjoyable.

Lu Baichuan didn't come back for long. He only stayed for two days and then left again. There were too many things to deal with after just conquering a city.

However, Qin Jian stayed, and Tongcheng also needed someone to guard it. It happened that Peng Yuan had been wronged before, so she asked Qin Jian to stay and spend more time with the pregnant woman.

Lu Baichuan didn't want his brother to have any regrets about what he couldn't do before.

The Dongting court also learned about the defeat at the border, the news that the fifth prince was beheaded on the spot, and that the old general surrendered without authorization and died to apologize. These blows made the Dongting court instantly turbulent. It felt that Dongting must be in trouble this time. What a curse.

Wu Jiaming must have offended the gods in the sky before, so Dongting was retreating steadily.

It’s all the fault of the Wu family!

The old Emperor Dongting looked at the group of people below and felt a splitting headache.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that his health was getting worse during this period. Could it be that after the gods took revenge on Wu Jiaming, they started to take revenge on him?
Recently, he burned incense and prayed to Buddha every day and ate a vegetarian diet for a month. Not only did he not feel any better, but he even felt worse.

Now that these things happened again in the court, all kinds of worries were mixed together, and it was really powerless.

"What do you think, dear friends?"

He rubbed the corners of his eyebrows. Everyone looked exhausted and weak.

The minister below was silent for a moment, and then began to speak:

"Your Majesty, the reason why the old general was defeated and surrendered was for the consideration of the soldiers. Please take note of the fact that the old general has devoted his whole life to our Eastern Court and please do not harm his family."

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister reconsider!"

"I don't think so! If everyone is like an old general, kill first and report later, and don't take the emperor's life seriously, wouldn't there be no rules in the court?"

"It's so far away. If we wait for news from the imperial court, we may lose a few more cities. Are you all out of your mind?"

"That's right. Besides, the old general killed himself to apologize, what else do you want?"

……

There was an instant quarrel in the court, with more people favoring the old general, and they all felt that the old general had done the right thing.

The old emperor had just lost a son and was in a bad mood. Now he saw these people arguing again. He was really upset and slapped his hand on the table, which immediately frightened them.

"Have you had enough quarreling? Surrender is a foregone conclusion. The old general has served Dongting all his life. Not only will I not hold him accountable, I also have to appease his family and posthumously honor the old general. What I am asking now is, what should I do after the surrender? !”

In the current situation, even if we don't surrender, there is no better way. All the useful generals in the court have died on the battlefield, and there are still some military generals who are unable to take on important responsibilities. Veteran generals who have experienced a lifetime have ended up like this. He really I don’t want to send anyone to embarrass myself again.

Moreover, after this period of time, the national treasury has suffered huge losses and can no longer support the army to fight. It is better to recuperate and regain blood first.

No one expected him to say this, so they paused and said immediately: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After the flattery, everyone began to discuss what would happen after the surrender.Normally after a battle is defeated, the losing side must give certain benefits, but they gave a lot of benefits when they rescued the third prince before. If they give more benefits now, the overlord of Dongting will completely fall.

Not only that, the national power will lag behind Beiyan and Xiteng, and at most be above Nantai.

For Dongting, this is more tragic than anything else.

Once it falls, even Xi Teng will look down on them. Who can stand it?
But unfortunately, this is the situation we have to face now.

"Your Majesty, it is better to form a friendship with Bei Yan between Qin and Jin. In this way, the relationship can be eased and we can have a chance to breathe in the short term."

"Exactly, the marriage relationship has been the strongest since ancient times, and this is the safest way!"

In addition to giving benefits, sending a princess to get married can show sincerity.

The old emperor agreed very much that there was nothing more convenient than marriage.

"Which family do you think it would be better to send a girl to get married?"

As soon as he spoke, there was silence.

Usually the princess is sent to get married, so how can one just find a girl?
The old emperor has dirty thoughts!
But no one dared to talk nonsense. Some of them understood the old emperor's thoughts and said: "Wei Chen thinks it is most appropriate to send a daughter of the Wu family!"

The daughter of the Wu family?
The crowd was in an uproar!

The faces of the prince and the third prince were very ugly, this was a slap in their faces!

The Wu family is the queen's mother's family. After Wu Jiaming's death, the two princes were also ostracized in the court. Both the court and the public agreed that the Wu family was unlucky and that the defeat was all caused by the Wu family.

At this time, letting the Wu family daughter go to get married is clearly saying that the Wu family is unlucky, and it is best to let the Wu family daughter take the bad luck to Beiyan.

The two brothers did not expect that the courtiers would suffer such damage.

The old emperor was quite satisfied and said with a smile: "I also think that the daughter of the Wu family is the most suitable. I remember that the daughter of the Wu family is also turning sixteen this year. It is a good age to discuss marriage, so I named her Princess Sheng'an and went to Beijing. Yanheqin!"

"Father, my son thinks this is inappropriate."

In the end, the third prince couldn't help but stood up, and the forbearance on his face was almost unbearable.

The old emperor looked at him dissatisfied and asked, "What's wrong?"

"As far as I know, the new emperor of Beiyan has a good relationship with the queen. There is only one queen in the entire harem, so it may not be possible for the daughter of the Wu family to get married."

In other words, if you know you will be rejected if you do something, don’t do it again. It will be even more embarrassing when the time comes.

The prince also stood up and said: "Xiteng also sent a princess there, but she was also sent back."

The old emperor deserved to live for a few more years, and his face was thicker than the city wall. He said with an indifferent expression: "It doesn't matter, the Wu family daughter is not a real princess anyway, just point to any Beiyan noble."

Anyway, no matter who she marries, the Wu family daughter must stay in Beiyan, bringing that bad luck to Beiyan and making Beiyan unlucky for a few years.

The two brothers stopped talking, knowing that this was a foregone conclusion that could not be reversed.

Just as he was about to go back, he heard the old emperor say: "Third brother, I leave it to you to send the Wu family daughter to get married. You are familiar with Bei Yan, and the Wu family daughter is your cousin, so you should be closer to her. , please give me more advice."

The third prince's body became stiff. Is there anything more disgusting than this?
