My wife is sick

Chapter 372 Compromise
Jiang Heng seemed not at all surprised to hear such a question from Emperor Jingwen's mouth, and immediately said: "My lord, if it is usual, since the Xiyi people take the initiative to ask for peace, even if you refuse to make peace, there will be no Too much impact, but this time..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Heng pursed his lips, obviously a little embarrassed.

When Emperor Jingwen saw Jiang Heng like this, he immediately knew that there might be something hidden in this matter, and asked: "Jiang Aiqing, how is this time?"

Jiang Heng thought about it carefully: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, according to the information I got, the reason why Xiyi would take the initiative to seek peace this time is not only because Xiyi can't afford it after 20 years of delay, but also because there is another extremely important reason. important reason."

Emperor Jingwen waited quietly for Jiang Heng's next words.

"The Xiyi people believe in shamans, and they have always had the habit of asking the shaman for good or bad luck in case of major events. Before deciding to seek peace this time, the Khan of Xiyi had consulted the big shaman enshrined by the royal family about this matter. The big shaman The instruction there is that it is the greatest auspicious omen if a marriage can be achieved while suing for peace, if not..." Jiang Heng paused, "According to the trust of the Xiyi people in the great shaman, if the marriage cannot be If the negotiation is successful, I am afraid that there will be another disturbance in the peace negotiation..."

Emperor Jingwen frowned tightly.

The peace negotiation is not only extremely important to Xiyi, but also extremely important to Jing Dynasty.

The Xiyi people couldn't afford to fight for the past twenty years, and the same was true for Jing Chao. Even Jing Chao was under even greater pressure.

Over the years, because of Jiang Heng's existence, although Jing Chao had an advantage in the battle at the border, he even firmly blocked the Xiyi people from the border, and did not let any Xiyi people step into Jing Dynasty However, the Xiyi people are like very hungry wolves, they have been clinging to Jing Chao for the past twenty years.

And the battles in this scene are like the mouth of a giant beast, continuously devouring the silver in the treasury of Jingchao. It has long been filled in the border wars.

Even so, the money in the national treasury is pitifully small now. What Emperor Jingwen hoped most these years is that all parts of the Jing Dynasty can have smooth weather and no major disasters will happen.

The reason why there is such a wish is that Emperor Jingwen, as the king of a country, naturally hopes that his country can enjoy long-term stability, but another important reason is that there is simply not enough money in the treasury to deal with a big disaster. .

Fortunately, I don't know if Emperor Jingwen's prayers have come into effect. Although minor disasters have often occurred in the Jing Dynasty these years, major natural disasters have never occurred, which has allowed the treasury to last until now.

If the war continues...

Emperor Jing Wen was afraid that he would have to think about where to find money to fill the hole.

At this time, Xiyi took the initiative to seek peace, which was undoubtedly great news for Emperor Jingwen and the entire Jing Dynasty.

amiable...

This is indeed not what Emperor Jingwen wanted.

It would be fine if the Princess Heqin sent by Xiyi is a peaceful person, and the harem can't afford to support a person, but if that person likes to stir up trouble, with her special status, she might be able to take over the harem. The wind and rain continued to stir up.

In the past few decades, Emperor Jingwen has never been bothered by being in the harem. Is it possible that now that he is over fifty years old, he still wants to experience this feeling?
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing Wen couldn't help but tighten his brows.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng said: "Your Majesty, Xiyi's initiative to seek peace is also a good thing for our dynasty. The two countries have been at war for many years, and the people of Jing Dynasty have been worried about this for many years. If the war can be completely quelled, Yu Guo For the people, it is all beneficial and harmless."

Although Jiang Heng didn't explicitly persuade Emperor Jingwen to accept the marriage, but that was clearly what he meant.

When Emperor Jing Wen heard the words, his heart couldn't help but move slightly.

As an emperor, there is no one who is not suspicious. After all, although this great river and mountain and this supreme power are in his hands, how can he not doubt that other people will try their best to snatch it all away?
It is also because of this that Prince Ping's Mansion has kept a low profile for many years.

Over the years, because the contributions he has made at the border are too great to be ignored, Jiang Heng has gradually changed from the general of the town to the current Duke of the town, and it has almost reached the point where there is no reward. Jiang Heng was not afraid, of course it was impossible.

However, even though he was afraid, Emperor Jingwen knew that Jiang Heng was needed at the border, and Jiang Heng was also needed in the Jing Dynasty, so he kept this fear in his heart and never showed it.

Emperor Jingwen knew that he was suspicious, but as an emperor, if he didn't even have this kind of fear for an important minister like Jiang Heng who held military power in his hands, how could he firmly suppress the subordinates for so many years?

He originally thought that Jiang Heng should know that if the war at the border subsided, he might not be able to be as good as he is now as the Lord of the Town. Even Emperor Jingwen thought that even if the two countries had an opportunity to negotiate peace, as long as I'm afraid that Jiang Heng will also get in the way, and completely disrupt the possibility of a peace negotiation.

but don't want to...

It was Jiang Heng who was the first to speak out to persuade him.

Is it because he is really too suspicious to suspect such a minister who serves the country and the people, or is it because Jiang Heng hides his thoughts too deeply?
Emperor Jingwen paused for a moment before saying: "Jiang Aiqing, I will consider this matter carefully."

Having said that, Emperor Jingwen couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

He said he would think about it, but in fact, when he said this sentence, he already had the answer in his heart.

If only one more beauty is recruited in the harem, the war between the two countries can be completely calmed down. Even if it is conceivable that there will be some troubles in the future, Emperor Jingwen will definitely agree.

After all, having been an emperor for decades, Emperor Jingwen already knew that even as an emperor, it is impossible to truly do whatever he wants, and after all, he still needs to make some compromises for many things.

For example, marriage matters.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Jingwen was inevitably a little bored.

He waved his hand towards Jiang Heng, "Jiang Aiqing, I'll leave it to you to arrange Xiyi's envoy."

"My lord..." Jiang Heng still wanted to speak.

The matter of receiving envoys from other countries should have been taken over by Honglu Temple. If he, the Lord of the Town, took over this task, wouldn't he be stealing people's jobs?
The people of Honglu Temple may not be able to play any role throughout the year. Now the Xiyi people have finally sent a mission to seek peace. When it is time for them to show their talents, they are preempted by Jiang Heng. It is not for nothing Is it hateful?
