Rebirth: Phoenix Palm Nine Heavens

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

A chamberlain eunuch hurriedly walked through the corridor and came to the door of the royal study. He gently pushed the door open and walked to the emperor. "Your Majesty, Marshal Xiao sent someone to rush it over 800 miles away."

The emperor opened the wax seal and took out the letter. After reading it, he wiped away the gloom on his face and said with a smile: "Fu'an, please send an order immediately. General Xuan Zhenguo will return to Beijing as soon as possible to discuss peace with me."

"Hey, I'll take care of it now," Fu'an said with a respectful salute.

The good news of the great victory at the border and the enemy's surrender had spread to every corner of Jingning City in just half a day.

At this time, the family of General Zhenguo, who was far away at the border, also received a call from the emperor. Father Xiao knew the importance of returning to Beijing to discuss peace. He immediately reorganized the army, arranged the defense at the border, and embarked on the journey back to Beijing with his trusted entourage.

Along the way, Father Xiao was thinking about how to deal with the peace negotiation situation. He reviewed the war at the border and analyzed the strength and situation of both the enemy and ourselves. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to obtain the most favorable conditions during peace negotiations and benefit the country and the people.

The group of people worked hard for seven days and finally arrived in the capital. As soon as Father Xiao entered the city gate, he walked in to meet the saint, covered in dust.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yuanshan, is here to see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor." Father Xiao saluted respectfully.

"Xiao Aiqing, please get up quickly. Aiqing has worked hard all the way. Come and give me a seat." The emperor sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile.

"Sharing your worries is what a minister should do." After saying this, Father Xiao slowly stood up and sat on a chair on the side.

"Xiao Aiqing, I am very pleased with this great victory over Beimo and Xiliang. I heard that it was General Zijin's credit for taking away the three cities in Xiliang."

"Although my daughter contributed to this matter, it was also the result of the joint efforts of other soldiers in the army. My daughter cannot bear this credit alone." Father Xiao said respectfully.

"Well, this matter will be discussed by the DPRK and the Central Committee tomorrow. When the peace talks are over, I will discuss the merits and reward them."

"My lord, thank you Lord for your kindness."

Although the enemy's letter of surrender has been received, the ministers in charge of war and peace in the DPRK expressed their opinions and argued endlessly. Above the court, the atmosphere was tense and intense.

After some debate, the emperor decided to negotiate peace. After all, after so many months of fighting, the national treasury is empty, and food and grass may not be supplied. The emperor cannot afford to fight this battle.

The emperor left the matter of peace negotiation to the Ministry of War and Honglu Temple. The Northern Desert mission and the Xiliang clan also came to Jingning City one after another.

When the carriage of the Xiliang mission slowly drove into Jingning City, several officials from the Ministry of War and Honglu Temple received it at the city gate.

After a few pleasantries, it was arranged for the Northern Desert envoy to stay in Qinghua Garden to the east of the post house.

An Dinghou of Xiliang said angrily: "This Nanyue is really bullying people. They even sent a few small officials to receive us. They just threw us at this inn and ignored us."

"Sister Huang, why are we a defeated country? We still have two emperors and three generals in their hands."

"Hmph, this is all the fault of Tuoba Yanyu. She insisted on seizing the throne at this time, and ended up embarrassing Xiliang." Marquis Anding said angrily.

"Who says it's not the case? Let me tell you, both Tuoba Yanyu and Tuoba Yanran are confused. One is coaxed around by men, and the other is arrogant. With such a person as the Empress of Xiliang, she is simply trying to destroy her. The country of Xiliang has been handed over to others."

"Xiao Jinse has returned to Beijing. She must have brought back Tuoba Yanran and Tuoba Yanyu. She sent people to follow Xiao Jinse secretly to see where the empress is and rescue them first." An Dinghou said solemnly.

"Well, I've already arranged for someone to go."

"That's all, it's really tiring after driving for several days. Let's take a rest early so that we can meet the Emperor of South Vietnam tomorrow." Anding Hou said with a frown.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, have a good rest and I will resign."
