Just like the drunken voice

Chu Si discovered something.

The self is subtly, isolated.

It turns out that if there is any important matter to be discussed in the army, I will definitely not be absent.Only this time, Zhao Peiqing avoided herself intentionally or unintentionally.There was nothing wrong with Zhao Peiqing's handling this time. Before Chu Si could feel any emotion, he heard a report from a soldier outside the tent: "Master Chu, the Tatar envoy is asking to see you."

Before Chu Si could answer, Bayin opened the door curtain and came in by himself.

"Mr. Chu." Bayin saluted respectfully. Seeing that he was very polite, Chu Si couldn't say anything, so he could only return the salute: "Mr. Special Envoy."

Bayin entered Chu Si's tent and couldn't see the outside at all. Before Chu Si could open his mouth, he found a chair and settled down, and then said: "Master Chu's complexion looks much better."

"I eat well and sleep well in my own place, so my complexion will naturally improve." Chu Si asked the maid to serve tea to Bayin, anyway, Bayin is now a guest.

"Oh..." Bayin said meaningfully, "I thought Su Hebalu was not here, and no one would take care of Lord Chu's basic necessities, so Master Chu would have trouble sleeping and eating."

"Can't sleep and eat well?" Chu Si asked back, "Master Special Envoy really knows how to tell jokes. If you just come to chat with Chu, I have important matters, so I can't accompany you."

"Haven't had two sips of tea yet, Master Chu is in a hurry to drive away?"

"Come here, see off the guests!" Ba Chupan didn't look at him again, and directly called for someone to "invite" Bayin out.

Soon the guards at the door came in and pushed Bayin out. Bayin stood at the door, not at all ashamed of being kicked out, but secretly gloating in his brows and eyes.

The surrounding soldiers looked at him strangely, but Bayin acted as if he hadn't seen him, and even went back to his camp humming a little song.

Shaojing's reply was quick, and two days before the seven-day deadline, the emperor's reply came: peace.

Zhao Peiqing got the approval and went to discuss the treaty with Bayin.

Zhao Peiqing didn't want Chu Si to attend such a big event. After several back and forth, the treaty was finally finalized.

The five cities of Youzhou were "leased" to the Tatars for a period of five years.

It is said to be a lease, but the Tatars do not need to pay taxes or tribute at all, and the military has fully taken over the justice of Youzhou.This is, in essence, a cession of land.But to put it another way, it sounds better.

For the "lease" time, neither side has much dispute.Everyone understands that this treaty is only temporary. Dashao is facing internal and external difficulties, and the Tatars are facing a dispute over Khan status. Neither side should start another dispute.The treaty was negotiated and signed quickly. When the private seal and the commander's seal were fastened to the contract, Chu Si actually felt a little unreal.

More than three months of fighting, being trapped in the enemy camp for more than two months, the humiliation suffered, and the sacrificed soldiers are all written off.

"Lord Chu," Bayin put away the treaty and saluted Chu Si, "Farewell, there will be a date later."

Chu Si returned the gift and said, "I really hope that there will be no future with your lord."

Bayin didn't say anything more, and took his own people to the Tatar camp in a mighty way.

……

The results of this expedition were not satisfactory. Many soldiers lost their lives, and they were forced to "rent" five cities.

Above the imperial court, the main peace faction was unforgiving, and wanted to take the opportunity to trample the dissidents under their feet. The main combat faction was suppressed and had no power to fight back. Even Rong Guogong, who supported Shaojing, was also suppressed by Qin Zhonghai at the court. Cynicism is almost impossible to get off the stage.

After handing over the matter, Chu Si didn't go to the palace to report back as usual, but went back to his own house directly, and fell asleep regardless of Wang Er's nagging.

Wang Er saw that his master was buried in the bed and did not move, he just thought he was really tired, so he led his servants back out.

Chu Si closed his eyes and tossed on the bed for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep.

Physical fatigue is bearable, but...

When he was in the army, he didn't have the time to think about it. When he let go of the burden on his shoulders and relaxed, those memories flooded into his mind frantically, flooding, tumbling, and boiling, and he couldn't help but ignore it.Sukhbaru's breath seemed to be lingering in his ears, his strong arms were tightly wrapped around him, his hot chest was pressed against his back, and his whole body was imprisoned in Sukhbaru's arms, without There is nowhere to escape.Suddenly Shao Jing's face appeared in front of his eyes again, his eyes were full of sadness, and he grabbed Chu Si's heart fiercely.

The first night back home was spent in tossing and restlessness.

On the second day, even if he was reluctant, Chu Si had to report to court.

Early in the morning, Wang Er packed his master's outfit and watched him leave the mansion.The sedan chair wobbled along the official road, carrying him to the long-lost palace.He took a steady breath, put aside distracting thoughts, and knew that he would face even more fierce tests above the court.

Sure enough, above the imperial court, Rong Guogong, who was in charge of the battle, and Chu Si, who invited Yingying, became the targets of public criticism.Sitting on the Dragon Throne, Shao Jing wanted to defend but was powerless to return to heaven. Duke Rong was old, and he was a relic of the three dynasties. Naturally, he couldn't move. In the end, he had to demote Chu Si's post, punish him, and pay his salary, so that he could even the courtiers anger.

After the court, Chu Si followed the ministers out of the hall and walked towards his bearers, but was stopped by Zhang Shengde halfway.

"Lord Chu, the emperor invites you."

It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.When he really came in front of Shao Jing, Chu Si calmed down instead.

"You Zhi..." There was no one around, Shao Jing was finally able to hold the person he had been thinking of all this time without restraint, "You have suffered..."

"Heng Yao..." Chu Si returned the favor to his sovereign, tears that had been suppressed for a long time finally flowed down.

For a moment, the hall was filled with Chu Si's slight sobs and Shao Jing's soft words of comfort.

"You have suffered." Shao Jinghong wiped away the tears from the corners of Chu Si's eyes, "Injury... let me see..." As she said that, she was about to lift off Chu Si's clothes, and Chu Si hurriedly held down his hand and shook it She shook her head: "It's all good...you...don't read it."

Shaojing refused, and wanted to forcibly push away Chu Si's hand that was pressing on him, but he couldn't hold back Chu Si, so he had to give up in the end.

"Forget it, I'll call the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

Chu Si buried in his arms without saying a word.

"Come and tell me what happened to you in the past few months." Shao Jing pulled Chu Si to sit beside him.

Chu Si hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still skipped some things and only talked about some important points. As for Suhebalu to him...he finally concealed Shaojing.

He couldn't say why he wanted to hide it, but he subconsciously avoided those things.

When it came to finally escaping, Chu Si could hardly control his emotions, but Shao Jing held his hand and said, "You Zhi, this is Da Shao's palace, you are home. Don't be afraid."

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they said some personal words again. Chu Si opened his mouth several times to pour out the grievances he had suffered in Tatar. Jing also looked at him with a good temper. After several times, Chu Si finally mustered up the courage, and when he wanted to tell Shao Jing everything, Shao Jing said to Chu Si as if he finally remembered something: " You Zhi... on the eighth day of next month, I'm going to get married."

wedding? !

Chu Si was still in the warmth of the two of them alone, Shao Jing's words made him unable to turn around: "Big marriage? You mean... Empress Dowager?"

"Yes." Shao Jing nodded, seeing that Chu Si's expression was not right, he quickly explained: "The Qin family... my grandfather is about to be unable to suppress the Qin family, so in order to make Qin Zhonghai feel safe, I discussed it with my grandfather... ...to make his daughter his queen."

"If you make her the empress, isn't it just raising a tiger? The previous dynasty was not peaceful, and the harem will be muddied from now on." Chu Si didn't know how to find his voice, and he analyzed it with the remaining rationality. question.

"Issues about the harem..." Shaojing's harem, except for a few old people who were there when he was the prince, hadn't had a newcomer for a long time.Even the children were born during the years when Chu Si left. Shao Jing was not favored by his father when he was the prince, so the concubines were not of high status. After Shao Jing ascended the throne, he has been living in the harem all the time. That said, after Chu Si came back, Shao Jing had never been close to the harem, which made him almost forget that Shao Jing was the emperor, accompanied by the supreme majesty, and the vast harem.

"...This..." Shao Jing seemed a little embarrassed, but he still said it out: "I promised my grandfather a long time ago that I would marry my uncle's cousin. The cousin was brought up by my grandfather. She is smart, dexterous, and talented. She mediates for me in the harem..."

"... So you have already planned it?" Chu Si felt that his voice seemed to come from another world, "That's good, that's good, I was worrying for nothing..."

"You Zhi..." Looking at his expression, Shao Jing stretched out his hand to caress his face, "You..."

However, Chu Si avoided Shao Jing's touch.

"I'm sorry..." Chu Si squeezed out an ugly smile, "Let me... calm down."

"...That's fine." Shao Jing withdrew his hand, "Let Zhang Shengde take you back."

"No need." Chu Si shook his head, forgot even the etiquette, pushed open the palace door and went out.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Shengde entered the room, and saw his master staring at the place where Chu Si had just sat in a daze.Seeing Shaojing like this, he hesitated and said, "The servant went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick up some rare things and send them to Mr. Chu to coax..."

"No, he doesn't like those." Shao Jing then looked up at Zhang Shengde, "It's better for me to say it than to hear it from others. This is a hurdle, whether he likes it or not, he has to get over it. We It's true that I like him, but first of all, I am an emperor. I can't miss a big deal because of this little love."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Zhang Shengde knew that Shaojing had made up his mind, so he stopped talking, saluted and retreated.
