When Spring Comes - Chapter 241
He Chang’an pursed his lips and said, “It is better to talk with them. The war at this time will not be of any benefit to Liang. Internal and external troubles will make things worse.”
“Weichen also thinks that we should negotiate a peace with Xixia first, the big deal is to give some sweetness.” The veteran next to him came out and said: “It’s better than ever.”
Negotiation? Yu Wenjie frowned unhappily: “I am a big country, and want to negotiate peace with a small country. Wouldn’t it make people step on their faces?”
“But…” Tang Yue frowned and said, “Now there is a war, and there is simply not enough military and civilian strength.”
Just after the war, there are various natural and man-made disasters, how to fight?
“Let them pay tribute first.” The emperor said: “As for the negotiation, I don’t think about it. If they want to fight, I will accompany you.”
He Changan frowned and wanted to persuade him again. The emperor had already flung his sleeves and left.
“How is this good?” The veterans next to him were extremely worried: “We all know that the emperor is warlike, but we shouldn’t fight at this time!”
“Yes, but who is going to persuade? The emperor seems to be determined.”
Everyone turned their eyes on Gong Yuhou, and He Chang’an pursed his lips: “You have just seen it, even if it is the Lord, the emperor will not listen.”
“No, the ministers mean that there is also Empress Defei.” Tang Yue said: “If the empress can persuade, it’s good.”
I usually scold Huachun from head to toe when I write a book, but now I think of her when something happens? He Chang’an sullen and glanced at them: “The mother was having an fetus recently, and an adult has said that she is not allowed to interfere with the court affairs, right?”
The people next to him had a meal, and Tang Yue came out to complete the battle: “This has nothing to do with participating in the court affairs. It is just to help persuade the emperor.”
Except for Concubine De, no one dared to persuade repeatedly after the emperor had already decided!
“Prime Minister Tang can go to see the Concubine De Concubine.” Gong Yuhou smiled: “Benhou is still busy preparing for the marriage, so I will leave first.”
After that, he turned around and left, leaving a room staring at each other.
“It’s okay, even if Concubine Dee doesn’t persuade you, let’s write a few notes.” Several old officials muttered, “It’s not necessary to bother the lady.”
Saying that, there is nothing in my heart, and I am very afraid of annoying the emperor. It would be bad if I was fined a court rod or something.
Tang Yue shook his head, looking at the group of obsessives who want to save face, he decided not to disturb Concubine De, and let the flow go.
Huachun’s belly is big and round, and she lay in the yard basking in the sun when she was fine, looking like a lazy cat full of food.
Ruier heard Xixia’s news and ran to tell her. Hua Chun squinted her eyes for a long time and nodded and said, “The emperor’s decision is correct.”
“How can this be right?” Rui Er couldn’t understand: “The adults in North Korea are going to be anxious. It’s not a good thing to go to war at this time.”
“You don’t understand.” Hua Chun shook his head: “Beam is a big country, Xixia is just a small country, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The emperor confronts them with the attitude of World War I. It is better than bowing down and seeking peace. There is still room for change.”
“How to turn around?” Rui Er frowned: “Now that the treasury is empty, we can no longer fight a war.”
“Is there still a lot of money in our palace?” Huachun blinked and turned to look at Qing Niao.
Qing Niao nodded: “More than five thousand taels.”
Some are earned from the emperor, and some are sold for treasures. Although there is no money in this palace, it is necessary to have money.
“Then it will be usable.” Hua Chun nodded.
Qing Niao stared: “Wouldn’t the mother use these to replenish the treasury?”
“Do you think I’m such a stupid person?” Rolled her eyes, Huachun curled her lips: “This little money is not enough to cover the treasury door. What can be enriched? Besides, it is true that the treasury can be ten percent. Used where it should be used, that’s good.”
Rui Er looked at her curiously: “What does the master plan to do?”
“Don’t do much, Qingniao will write a list for this palace, you just follow the list and buy it.”
“Good.” Qing Niao nodded.
The storm of thieves in Yanjing has subsided, and the days are still passable. After all, there is no natural disaster, and it is at the feet of the emperor. It still looks peaceful, but some people are worried, and they arrived in Yanjing for fear of disaster.
Seeing that the Xixia envoy was already on his way to Yanjing, the Minister of the Central Government was panicked, and the emperor was determined. Many people felt desperate. If this battle is fought, the beam will definitely not be able to support it.
However, when the Xixia envoy arrived in Beijing, something strange happened.
Flowers are blooming on both sides of the road, and the whole Yanjing is more than usual. It is a prosperous scene, attracting people to take to the streets one after another.
When the envoy arrived, I felt that there were people on both sides of the road, crowded with people, and it was very lively.
“This…” The envoy was a little panicked: “Didn’t it mean that Liang is causing a natural disaster? It’s no different from usual when I walked all the way. Why is Yanjing more lively?”
The entourage shook their heads to indicate that they didn’t know, and the envoys followed to the palace with doubts.
Same as the last time, this time a prime minister met them at the door, but not as good-looking as last time. His face was tense, and he looked unfriendly.
The envoy was even more insecure. He thought that if he took advantage of the fire, he would at least make them smile. He didn’t expect that his attitude would still be the same. What does it mean?
The palace is magnificent, and there are beauties like fairies with red carpet flowers along the way, and petals are scattered in the sky, which is like a prosperous age.
“It’s possible that they are bluffing.” The envoy next to him whispered: “Our news is very clear. Now that the main beam is constantly worrying, the emperor will not have the energy to fight. At most, it is to frighten us.”
To be sure, the envoy settled down and decided to take a tough stance to take back all the lost gold mines!
In the end, he did not expect Emperor Liang to be much tougher than him.
“Come to pay tribute at this time, I hope you won’t let me down.” With a stern face, Yu Wenjie stared sharply at the person below: “If it is less than the tribute last time, there is no need to come this time. Right?”
Frightened their legs weak, several envoys knelt on the ground and said: “Your majesty calms down, the ministers are waiting for this time not to pay tribute, but to help your majesty.”
The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at them for a while: “How can you help me?”
“The ministers heard that the Japanese pirates were looking at the beams, and Xixia was between the Japanese pirates and the beams.” The envoy smiled and said: “As a friend of the beams, Xixia can help defend against the Japanese pirates.”
“Then thank King Xixia for his kindness.” The emperor nodded.
“But… this also comes at a price.” Xixia’s envoy whispered tentatively: “You can’t let people do nothing, right?”
