Dianxia Qingcheng

The emperor asked, "What are Pei Aiqing's thoughts on this matter?"

Pei Zheng cupped his hands and said directly, "Back to the emperor, those barbarian soldiers are all brave and good at fighting. General Zhao has guarded the border for many years and fought countless battles with him. Although he can kill the enemy every time, our soldiers also suffered heavy losses."

The emperor nodded, "That's right, General Zhao, get up quickly, I'm afraid we still need to discuss the matter of marching."

Zhao Litang stood up and stood side by side with Pei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, since Mr. Pei disagrees with my proposal, it is better to let Mr. Pei talk about what to do."

Officials of the imperial court should not have interfered in the border war, but since Pei Zheng could prevent him from stepping down in front of everyone, Zhao Litang naturally would not let it go.

Unexpectedly, Pei Zheng smiled when he heard this, as if he had plans in mind.

"Your Majesty, I do have a way to make a truce with the barbarians."

As soon as these words came out, not only the emperor and Zhao Litang were surprised, but all the officials in the hall began to whisper.

The emperor hurriedly asked, "Oh? What can Pei Aiqing do, but it doesn't matter."

Pei Zheng turned around, glanced at Zhao Litang and the officials, and replied unhurriedly, "Marriage."

The voice of whispering gradually became louder, and most people shook their heads frequently. The barbarians were rude and arrogant, their customs were harsh, and they couldn't understand the language. If you want to get married, you must choose a suitable princess from the royal family.

Not to mention the emperor's reluctance to let his daughter marry far away and suffer, it is impossible for the barbarian leader to accept the marriage and then return to the court as a matter of course.

As expected, Prime Minister Pei was as amazing as ever, relying on his favor to confuse the court as he wished.

Seeing the objections from the ministers coming one after another, the emperor said with some displeasure, "Today's banquet is for General Zhao and all the soldiers to clean up the dust. We will discuss this matter later."

Only then did the officials quiet down, and Pei Zheng and Zhao Litang also sat back to their seats one after another.

Next, the dancers appeared on the stage one after another, and the clothes were wafting in the hall for a while, the fragrance was pleasant, and the laughter and laughter were intertwined.

The banquet lasted until late at night. After the emperor left the banquet, everyone in the hall also left in twos and threes.

The fourth prince Qi Changfeng and Zhao Litang walked towards the door together, Pei Zheng stared at the two figures disappearing by the door, and tightly clenched the wine glass in his hand.

He stood up, straightened his robe, and left the hall with big strides without looking back at the people behind him.

The entire hall was almost empty, and the eunuchs and maids in charge came in and began to collect the leftovers and wine.

There was also a small figure in the corner, Qi Changyi knelt there and lowered his head until the little eunuch Li Yu patted him lightly and said, "Your Highness?"

Qi Changyi seemed to have just come back to his senses.

"Your Highness, the banquet is over, I will take you back to the palace."

Qi Changyi glanced at Pei Zhengkong's position, couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and obediently agreed.

Li Yu helped him up, and Qi Changyi's knee that had just been knocked started to hurt again. He leaned on Li Yu, limped out of the hall, turned into a long, unmanned road, and walked towards his bedroom go.

A figure suddenly appeared under the moonlight not far away, startling Qi Changyi, he exclaimed, and the figure looked over from afar.

"Long memory."

The familiar voice made Qi Changyi stunned for a moment, and the address on his lips called out, "Brother Tang."

Zhao Litang came over and glanced at Li Yu, Li Yuji withdrew his eyes automatically.

The friendship between this General Zhao and His Royal Highness is extraordinary. The two grew up together. Li Yu knew that it was very inappropriate for him to stay here, so he went back to the palace alone.

The whole road became quiet and there was no one around. Finally, Zhao Litang couldn't suppress his longing, and hugged Qi Changyi tightly into his arms.

"Xiao Changyi, I'm back."
