Chapter 343
"Prince Qi's words are biased." General Xie said suddenly, "We fight for money, don't Turks fight for money? Compared with national power, Turks should be more panicked and afraid, right? "

"The Turkic nomads have strong soldiers and horses, and they run away when they fight. Our Northwest army chases, but if we can't catch up, and fight, he won't fight you head-on. General Xie was born as a general. I think he should be more aware of this situation than me. Under the circumstances, who is suffering and suffering?" Fang Yan looked at General Xie with burning eyes.

General Xie shook his head and said, "King Qi is too pessimistic. Is this the Northwest Army that can't trust my frontier? Or can't you trust General Yu? I remember that the one who supported General Yu the most was the Duke of Qi, right? Why is King Qi the same? Doesn't match?"

Before the King of Qi could speak, General Xie immediately said with a stern face, "The Prince of Qi advocates peace talks and opposes fighting against the Turks, so people have to wonder whether the Prince of Qi has anything to do with the Turks. Are you standing on my beam?"

Fang Yan pursed his lips, his face was not good-looking, he sneered, "General Xie is like this, isn't he just messing around? Advocating peace talks means having contacts with Turks? That means collaborating with the enemy? Advocating peace talks is not for the people of our Daliang, for the sake of Is Daliang's long-term peace and stability considered? General Xie's idea of ​​facing the war is for Daliang, or for the bravery of ordinary people, putting the lives of the people in Daliang and the soldiers on the frontier of Daliang at risk? General Xie's purpose is even more suspicious!"

"Your loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, the sun and the moon are shining brightly, and the Holy Master can learn from it!" General Xie immediately turned around and knelt down towards the Holy Master.

The little emperor looked at General Xie, and then at King Qi.

When he didn't consider the consumption of military pay before, he felt that what General Xie and the other generals said was very reasonable. Daliang was winning the flag and was gaining momentum. It would be a bit too cowardly and timid to negotiate a peace at this time.

But now that I think about it, what my uncle said is not entirely groundless. If the consumption continues, the Turks will not be driven away, and the people of Daliang Kingdom will be in dire straits. Land?
Before the envoys for the peace talks arrived, there was another tense situation in the court.

The little emperor frowned, seeing the unyielding attitude of the two sides, he waved his hands and asked everyone to retreat without saying a word.But he stayed with King Qi and went to the study with him to talk.

"Once the food and grass can't keep up, the front line will suffer defeat. If you want to negotiate a peace at that time, it's not that the Turks sent people to my Daliang Dynasty to negotiate a peace. Instead, I need to go to the Turks to negotiate a peace. At that time, the Turks will also first Beheading our envoys, first sweeping Daliang's face, and then talking about peace, one back and one back, who is the loser?"

In the Royal Study Room of the Holy Majesty, the voice of King Qi came.

It's not that the little emperor can't listen to what others say, especially when he calms down.

He looked at King Qi and nodded slowly, "I read General Yu's letter. He didn't write it to me directly, but wrote to his uncle. I'm afraid that after reading these, I would blame him for not fighting wholeheartedly. Do you want to shirk?"

Fang Yan bowed and did not speak.

The little emperor nodded, "Actually, it's not wrong to think that way. I read his letter earlier, and I saw in his letter that the Turkic cavalry were so cunning, how they ran away after fighting, and ran away after grabbing food and grass. Fighting, I had enough rest, and I still came back to attack Daliang's army. I was very angry, and I thought Yu Miao was really useless. There was nothing I could do about it? What kind of Northwest General? But see you later, in his letter It is said that the Turkic cavalry has sufficient resources for war horses. They have vast pastures and many horse breeds. My pasture in Daliang is only in the Hetao area. If the Hetao falls, the war horse resources in Daliang will be almost exhausted. .At that time, I am afraid that the entire girder of wealth will be reduced to fat meat trampled on by the iron hooves of the Turks."

The little emperor raised his eyes and looked out of the window, looking very perplexed.

Fang Yan hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands, "It's really a blessing for Liang and the people to think of these things!"

"I didn't listen to my uncle's advice before, did my uncle blame me?" The little emperor raised his eyes and asked.

Fang Yan quickly shook his head, "Your Majesty's concerns are very real and very reasonable. If the Turkic people just sent someone to negotiate a peace, and I, Daliang, agreed immediately, wouldn't it appear that Daliang was afraid of him? Does Daliang have no backbone? This is the second envoy. Only by receiving an audience can the Turkic people's spirit be dampened, my sage is wise!"

I don't know if Fang Yan thought so in his heart, but the little emperor was obviously very happy when he said this.

The weather was extremely hot, and when the Turkic envoys came to the capital, the people in the capital were already wearing cool single-clothes bunts.

Shen Xinniang seldom even leaves the house, and the midwife told her that the closer the delivery is, the more she should walk around, the delivery will be smoother and less painful, and she is only in the shady corridor Walking around, there is too much sunlight in the yard, even if you stand still, you can sweat all over, let alone a woman with a big belly like her.

The closer the delivery is, the more Shen Xinniang looks forward to it. It is hard work to be pregnant for ten months. Finally, it will be the time of delivery. In the future, she will not have to communicate with the child through her stomach. Finally, she can see the child and hug her Child, the mood is definitely different from having a child.

The little emperor listened to Fang Yan's advice, and this time he overwhelmed the ministers and ignored the opinions of the main battle, just pretending not to hear them.There was even a huge conflict between the monarch and his ministers, so he barely won the opportunity for the Holy Majesty to personally meet the Turkic envoys.

Let's take a look at what the conditions proposed by the Turks are. If they can accept it, wouldn't it be best not to continue fighting in such a wasteful manner?
Seeing that the day of Shen Xinniang's labor is getting closer, it may be activated at any time.But Fang Yan became more and more busy.He often leaves the palace at the end of Yinshi, and can only come back when it is dark.

Shen Xinniang was already in labor pains this day, she was walking slowly in the corridor, Jin Xiang and Dan Xin were supporting her.She suddenly clutched her stomach, stopped in her tracks, and wrinkled her delicate features together.

"Mistress, sit down and rest?" Dan Xin quickly helped her to the stone bench in the corridor beside her.

"It hurts..." Shen Xiniang said slowly with cold sweat on her forehead.

"It hurts? Yes, is it about to give birth?" Jin Xiang was shocked, "Didn't the midwife tell you that if it starts to contract and hurt, it means she's about to give birth!"

"Then, maidservant, go and ask someone to carry the lady back, and ask someone to inform the prince!" Dan Xin immediately turned around and was about to make arrangements.

Shen Xinniang quickly reached out her hand and grabbed Dan Xin, she clenched her teeth tightly, it seemed that she couldn't speak because of the pain for a while, but she clenched her hand tightly, not letting Dan Xin leave.

Dan Xin looked at her in pain, and couldn't bear it, "My lady, if my lady is in pain, you can hold the maidservant's hand! Hold the maidservant's arm!"

After a while, the pain seemed to have eased a little, Shen Xinniang's complexion had turned pale, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, but she let out a breath slowly, "It's okay, let's go back, it's not time to give birth yet. And, don't tell the prince."

Seeing that she said she was fine, Jin Xiang and Dan Xin felt relieved a little.

"But the lord ordered that once the lady is about to give birth, she must report to him immediately, and he will come back to accompany the lady!" Dan Xin whispered while paying attention to Shen Xiniang's expression.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, and walked slowly step by step, "The Turkic envoy is here, he is busy with important affairs in the court. The ministers who advocated the challenge are still watching, and if they are a little careless, it may be even more difficult to negotiate The war continues, not only the frontier soldiers, but also the common people suffer. The longer the war drags on, the more people will be affected. This is a major event and cannot be delayed. I gave birth alone, it is insignificant, so don’t disturb him.”

Dan Xin and Jin Xiang both pursed their lips and did not speak. What the lady said was right, but the delivery of the lady is not a trivial matter. To the lady, it is a big deal!Pregnant in October, the most critical time is the time of delivery!How many women hope that their husbands can stay by their side and accompany them on this day, but the ladies are not even allowed to report to the prince.

"Did you remember?" Shen Xinniang suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the two maidservants, "I treat you tolerantly on weekdays, and you are used to doing whatever you want, if you dare to make your own decisions today and don't listen to orders, don't blame me for disregarding the Lord Servant face."

The two servant girls hurriedly bowed in response, "My lady, don't worry..."

Dan Xin's voice was nasal, she felt sorry for the lady, but she couldn't bear to refute her.

The two servant girls helped Shen Xiniang outside the door of the delivery room.

The midwife and other experienced women were guarding the delivery room. The midwife saw that Shen Xinniang was being supported by two maids, and her face was even paler. She couldn't help but looked down. The weather was hot and her clothes were thin. The top is already wet.

"The amniotic fluid has broken, the princess is going to lie down on the bed." The midwife quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the delivery room, letting the maid help Shen Xinniang into the inner room, and opened the screen to block the outside.

Shen Xinniang seemed to be very exhausted, there was no complexion on her face, only pale.

The midwife was very experienced and ordered the maids to boil water and bring clean bedding and blankets.Checked the mouth of the palace again, "Four fingers have been opened, let's wait for a while, princess, don't use force now, don't worry, when the servant tells you to use force, you just use force as the servant tells you, the child is very upright, and he will come out in a while !"

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly.

"The two sisters should wait outside? We don't need the help of the sisters here." The midwife said to Dan Xin and Jin Xiang.

Even Danxin Jinxiang hesitated, wanting to be by Shen Xinniang's side at this critical moment.

But there are already quite a few women in the delivery room, and there are maids coming in and out who specialize in assisting the women. It is really useless to use their place, and it would be a bit of a hindrance if they stay.

Jin Xiang retreated outwards.Dan Xin took two steps back, but stepped forward again quickly, standing on the bedside, "Maid, I want to accompany the lady, the prince is not by the lady's side, how can the lady have no one familiar with her?"

"We've been living in the mansion for so many days..." the midwife said with a smile.

Dan Xin looked at Shen Xinniang, who was lying on the bed, her face was pale, she seemed very tired and weak, her eyes were red, and she shook her head again and again, "I won't get in the way, mom, don't push me out, just let me stay by my wife's side and accompany you." Follow the lady!"

Seeing that she was really a loyal maid, the midwife sighed and nodded, "Don't be afraid to watch when the baby is born later!"

Dan Xin nodded again and again, "Don't worry, Mom, I won't make trouble."
