Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Once again, an official suggested inviting Zhou Shaoyu back.

Emperor Hui didn't say a word this time, and Zhou Shaoyu was determined not to come back.

On August 15th of the first year of Emperor An's reign, Emperor Hui of Daqian rode at full speed to deliver a letter to the Emperor of Yulong Kingdom, requesting peace talks with Emperor An.

Xie Zhaozhao stopped attacking.

The person who delivered the letter this time was none other than Elder Liu, Liu Yiyi's grandfather.

While Elder Liu was at home, Emperor Hui had been pretending to be deaf and dumb and not using him. Now that the country was about to be destroyed and other people were not capable of taking on important tasks, he went to ask Elder Liu to come out of retirement.

Elder Liu was helpless and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, in fact, if you can invite His Highness Jingchen back, everything can be solved."

Emperor Hui said, "Do you think I don't want him? He won't come back! I have already issued three additional imperial edicts. I didn't kill him, which is my bottom line."

Elder Liu naturally understood. He had worked with Emperor Hui for more than 30 years, and he could even guess what Emperor Hui was thinking.

So he carried Emperor Hui's order and went to where Xie Zhaozhao had deployed his troops to negotiate peace with him.

When Lord Liu saw Xie Anfeng, Xie Zhaozhao, Ling Xun and others, he was a little dazed. Less than a year had passed, and when they met again, they felt like strangers.

Sighing, he suppressed some pleasantries he wanted to say and started to negotiate!

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and asked, "Has Lord Liu been reinstated?"

Elder Liu shook his head: "I am old now, how can I have the energy to stand in the court again? It's just that your majesty asked this old minister to come and see Emperor An."

Elder Liu was very humble, and Xie Zhaozhao was also much more polite.

Xie Zhaozhao knew that Emperor Hui was setting a trap for Elder Liu. If the talks went well, it would be as he expected. If the talks did not go well, Elder Liu would probably be dealt with, right?

After all, in the previous life, the entire Liu family was executed.

"How is His Majesty Emperor Hui?"

"He is not in good health. He vomited blood in the court a few days ago and was in a coma for two days." Elder Liu said, "To be honest, I agreed to negotiate on behalf of Your Majesty because of the relationship between Emperor An and Yi Yi."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't say anything, but Xie Anfeng and Ling Xun naturally understood.

If Emperor Hui came to negotiate with Xie Zhaozhao, no matter whether the talks went well or not, if Emperor Hui died on the spot, no matter what the reason was, it would be because of Xie Zhaozhao.

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao would be criticized for all kinds of things whenever they reunited, and their relationship was basically severed.

Xie Anfeng asked, "What does Lord Liu want to talk about?"

Elder Liu said: "Your Majesty naturally hopes that His Majesty Emperor An will withdraw his troops. Daqian is willing to send a generous gift to Yulong Kingdom."

What kind of negotiation is this?

Ling Xun handed the list to Elder Liu: "Master Liu, these are the conditions we have negotiated. Please review them."

The first is that Daqian will pledge allegiance and become a vassal state of Yulong Kingdom.

Article 2: The annual tribute is 500,000 taels of silver and 1 million dan of grain.

Article 3: The entire territory of Daqian is open to commercial trade with the Yulong Kingdom, and the tax payment is the most favorable.

……

Elder Liu doesn't need to look any further.

The first point can completely put a halt to the negotiations.

Daqian is the largest country on the continent. How could it possibly submit to a small country that was established less than a year ago?

Elder Liu put the list down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Emperor An, this cannot be discussed!"

"Then let's talk on the battlefield." Xie Zhaozhao said lightly, "I don't plan to have a serious talk, it's better to merge Daqian into Yulong Kingdom in one go."

Lord Liu can’t do it anymore.

The other party has a bigger fist, so there is no room for negotiation.

Xie Anfeng asked, "Your Majesty, are you thinking that you can withdraw your troops automatically and not pay a penny just because you and I are officials in the same court, and because of the friendship between Emperor An and Miss Liu Si?"

Elder Liu thought to himself, isn’t this exactly what Emperor Hui was thinking?

There was another thing. Emperor Hui said that if Xie Zhaozhao did not withdraw his troops, he would put both Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Qiheng in prison.

Elder Liu felt that after saying this, Xie Zhaozhao would be able to capture the capital within three days and capture all the civil and military officials alive.

"Your Majesty, your country's request is far from the will of the emperor. I cannot make the decision. Please give me a few days. I will return to the palace to discuss with your majesty and give you a reply."

"I am busy with state affairs, so I will only give you five days. If you don't respond within five days, I will attack the capital."

Elder Liu went back in a hurry, thinking and sighing on the way.

Xie family girl, ah ~

The girl had been very well-mannered since she was a child, and I always thought she was a model of a mistress. I didn't expect that when she became cruel, she was even crueler than a man.

If Your Majesty had not pushed the Xie family so hard, and left them a way out, His Highness Jingchen would have inherited the throne, and this girl would have been the Queen, how prosperous Daqian would have been!

When Lord Liu returned to the court, he immediately told Emperor Hui about Xie Zhaozhao's intention.

The civil and military officials started cursing again, scolding Xie Anfeng and Xie Zhaozhao to the point of being completely destroyed.

Emperor Hui did not get angry as expected, but said to all the civil and military officials: "Stop arguing, I will go and talk to her myself."

He calmly told people to prepare for the negotiations. He also told Leng Luo: "Use the fastest method to pass the message to Jingchen and ask him to return to the court immediately to preside over government affairs."

He originally wanted to make Zhou Shaoyu the regent, but he stopped talking halfway and said to Leng Luo: "Go and invite him back in person and tell him that Daqian needs him. I was wrong before."

Since the emperor can admit his mistakes, there is room for discussion!

Leng Luo said: "I will definitely fulfill my mission and invite His Highness back."

The Bingmasi assembled all the troops that could be mobilized nearby, the seven generals and their troops of the Yin family army handed over by Yin Jinan, and even the Xie family's Xuanyi Guards.

A total of 450,000 soldiers were assembled.

Wait where you are.

Just as Emperor Hui and his entourage were about to set out for peace talks, Leng Luo hurried over on his horse at full speed, and finally flew straight into the palace using light skills.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hui looked at him and suddenly felt a great hope in his heart.

"Have you convinced Jingchen?"

"Yes! His Highness has returned with the little prince. When His Highness heard that Emperor An's troops were approaching the city and wanted to negotiate peace with Daqian, he brought the little master to the capital."

Emperor Hui breathed a sigh of relief and then sighed.

Well, Jingchen still hadn’t forgotten Xie. He didn’t need an imperial decree or any encouragement. As soon as he heard that she was calling, he immediately ran back with his son.

This is easy to talk about.

Emperor Hui sat on his seat, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the palace.

After a while, Zhou Shaoyu, dressed in plain clothes, came in holding a chubby baby.

The baby was fair and tender, with a pair of black and clear eyes, and looked like a calm child.

"Come here quickly, let the emperor hug you!" Emperor Hui excitedly stood up from his seat and stretched out his arms.

But Zhou Shaoyu refused to give it.

Who knows what His Majesty is thinking? What if he takes away his little Heng'er to threaten Zhao Zhao?

Zhou Qiheng found everything in the hall very strange, and when he looked at Emperor Hui, he felt that he was different from others. He greeted Emperor Hui and said, "Ahhh~"

Emperor Hui excitedly walked out from behind the dragon table and said with a smile, "Is Xiao Heng'er greeting grandfather?"

"Ahhh~" Yeah, what are you trying to do, old man, by smiling so maliciously?

Emperor Hui was so thin that he looked like a bad guy.

Zhou Qiheng pulled the finger out of his mouth and put it into Zhou Shaoyu's mouth: "Ah~"

Zhou Shaoyu wiped him with a cloth and said, "Heng'er, father won't eat, Heng'er will eat it by himself."

Zhou Qiheng put his fingers in his mouth again.

"Why is he eating his fingers?" Emperor Hui asked in confusion, "Is he hungry? I have some snacks here."

Zhou Shaoyu said: "He has itchy teeth!"

Emperor Hui retracted his outstretched hand.

Are you itching? Do you hate me? Do you hate me for separating him from his mother?

"Leng Luo, quickly tell the girl from the Xie family... Emperor An to tell her to wait patiently for another day. Jingchen and Heng'er went to the countryside to mourn and just came back. Tell her to give them two more days."

That girl has a hot temper now. She will destroy the capital as soon as the five-day deadline is up.

Leng Luo didn't even drink a sip of the water, and immediately rode at full speed to deliver a message to Xie Zhaozhao.

Zhou Shaoyu did not object. Although he really wanted to see Xie Zhaozhao, Xiao Heng'er was young and he couldn't travel too fast.

He rode out of the city and arrived at Xie Zhaozhao's barracks, and he really gasped.

Soldiers were fighting to the death everywhere, and their shouts and cries resounded through the sky.

"Please report to His Majesty Emperor An, I am Leng Luo, the commander of the Daqian Imperial City Division, and I request to see His Majesty."

It was Xu Li who delivered the message.

He quickly went to report to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao: "Let him in."

Leng Luo strode towards Xie Zhaozhao's temporary barracks, and he realized that this was not a traditional camping site, but the former property of the Xie family, a huge manor.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't live in a tent, but a real building.

The person sitting on the high seat was no longer the dignified woman in the rear house, but the solemn emperor.

He wore a black crown with twelve tassels of top-quality white jade hanging quietly in front and behind.

He was wearing a crown and robes, a black top and a red skirt. The left shoulder reflected the sun and the right shoulder held the moon, surrounded by stars. His sleeves were symmetrically embroidered with mountains and rivers. Above the mountains and rivers were black dragons, and below were outlined bright red insects. He wore a white belt and a green leather belt around his waist, and his bright red knee-guard had an exquisite black dragon embroidered on it.

Leng Luo could not help but submit: "Your Majesty Emperor An, I am following the order of His Majesty Daqian and beg Your Majesty to extend the date for peace talks, because His Majesty Jingchen and the young master went to the old house of Ouyang to mourn, and are now on their way."

Xie Zhaozhao did not show the woman's excitement and cheers, and said calmly: "How many days do you need to extend it?"

"Two days! The young master is too young to travel too fast. Please grant me your permission, Your Majesty."

"allow!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Leng Luo went back and there was no one else in the room. Xie Zhaozhao was reviewing the memorials silently.

Yuanyuan burst into tears: "I wonder what the young master looks like now?"

I couldn't cry.

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "You will be able to see it in two days."

Two days later, Emperor Hui refused to lead the troops and brought his son and grandson to negotiate.

Accompanying them were Lord Liu and Prince Jing, as well as Wei Ziying, Duke of Yingguo, Qin Lang, Liu Mingxuan, Gu Zheng and others.

The eunuch following him was still Hanako Katsu.

Elder Liu looked at the people who went with him. If he was not blind, he would know that Emperor Hui wanted to play the family card.

When the two sides met, Emperor Hui no longer put on airs of monarch and minister, but smiled and said, "Emperor An, look who's here."

The tall man walked with big steps. His eyes were originally cold, but when he saw her figure, they became warm and he walked towards her step by step.

The little baby in her arms was wearing a thin summer shirt, with two fat arms like lotus roots, a round head and a head of yellow hair half an inch long.

The little baby looked at her curiously, smiling innocently, revealing a few little white teeth.

Zhou Shaoyu looked at Xie Zhaozhao. He hadn't seen him for almost a year. He looked a little thinner and was not wearing a crown, but his crown, which was dark blue on top and red on the bottom, looked majestic enough.

He walked directly to her and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, His Majesty Emperor An!"

As soon as she raised her eyes, they became red.

“Ahhh~” The little fat boy’s arms were dancing beside his legs.

And I, Xiao Heng'er, also say hello!

Xie Zhaozhao met the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, and the tears that she had been holding back for a year burst out.
