It is said that I was cannon fodder

Chapter 74 The Princess Who Was Cannon Fodder 21

In the Golden Luan Palace, the emperor sitting in the high position looked a little pale, obviously not in good health, the recent series of events forced him to cheer up to deal with it.

"King Jing'an, is there any progress in the peace talks?"

Qi Ran briefly talked about the conversation that day, and then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that Jin Guo is arrogant and arrogant. If Da Xi retreats again and again this time, it will make him mistakenly think that Da Xi is weak and can be bullied."

"Your Majesty, I don't agree with this view. The Kingdom of Jin is just asking for a lot of money. If King Jing'an is willing to continue the negotiation with them, it may not be impossible for them to retreat in spite of difficulties."

Qi Ran looked at Chu Yechen who was speaking, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's words are reasonable, but I am a warrior who never understands these twists and turns. I implore Your Majesty to take back the order and send Prime Minister Chu to meet with the Jin Kingdom." The envoy negotiates."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, apparently no one expected that King Jing'an would bow his head so easily, and open his eyes blatantly and talk nonsense.

King Jing'an is a pure martial artist?Whoever believes is stupid!

Everyone was slandering in their hearts, but they didn't dare to open their mouths, and the emperor didn't make a sound. He seemed to be deliberating, but his eyes were a little gloomy.

After a while, Fang You said: "Your Majesty, I think that King Jing'an's proposal is inappropriate. If I change people in a hurry, it will appear that I, Da Xi, is afraid of his Kingdom of Jin? It will damage Da Xi's national prestige, please think again. .”

"Your Majesty, I also think it's wrong. Jing'an Wang Yingwu is good at fighting, and he is invincible on the battlefield. He has defeated the Kingdom of Jin. Now that he is negotiating with the Kingdom of Jin, King Jing'an is the best choice."

The emperor's expression eased a little, and he said: "The two lovers are justified. If so, please ask King Jing'an to work hard. I believe that the lover will give me a satisfactory answer."

"I'm terrified. The skill of my mouth is far from my ability to lead troops to fight. I'm afraid I'll let down your majesty's trust." Qi Ran declined again, saying "terrified", but her voice was calm, and she couldn't hear the slightest fear. .

Someone secretly gasped, deeply admiring Qi Ran's boldness, but at this moment, the wise man also realized-the emperor did not want to replace King Jing'an.

The emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, staring at the slightly bowed young man below, the other party obviously put on a respectful posture, but there was no sign of respect at all, as if the other party was the emperor sitting high on the clouds and examining life.

As an emperor, he always doesn't like people like Qi Ran, especially when the emperor himself has ghosts in his heart.

He suppressed the disgust and depression in his heart, coughed lightly, and was about to speak, when he heard the young man say: "I am not enough to do this alone, but if your majesty grants me permission to ask the prime minister for advice at a critical moment, I am willing to try again." Once, to share worries for His Majesty."

As soon as his words fell, the court was silent again, and some ministers who couldn't bear it couldn't help but look at Qi Ran and Chu Yechen.

Is there any connection between these two, or is it because King Jing'an just couldn't understand Prime Minister Chu, so he framed him?

Everyone couldn't figure it out, and the emperor felt a bit of vigilance and doubts in his heart. Only Chu Yechen remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. What is the virtue of the Kingdom of Jin? It needs my two ministers, Daxi, Wenwu, etc. Go out and deal with it?"

When the emperor heard the words, he took a few glances at him and asked, "What does Ai Qing think?"

"I think that as long as King Jing'an goes out and sits in front of the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, there is no need to speak sharply. I am afraid that the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin will voluntarily succumb to fear."

As soon as this remark came out, several ministers responded, most of which were compliments to Qi Ran.

The emperor listened, and his eyes fell on Qi Ran, "What does King Jing'an think?"

"I can't bear these praises, but I'm willing to give it a try and share your majesty's worries. It's just that the wolf in the Kingdom of Jin is ambitious and wants to go south. Please make plans early for the future."

After the early court dispersed, the familiar ministers got together in twos and threes, discussing in low voices.

Hubu Shangshu Li Yuan walked with Chu Yechen and said in a low voice: "I don't know what the prime minister thinks His Majesty means today?"

Chu Yechen smiled and said, "I can't guess what His Majesty is thinking, and I dare not guess."

Li Yuan's complexion changed slightly, "It's the lower official who made a slip of the tongue, I wonder how the prime minister thinks about the affairs of the Kingdom of Jin?"

"The Kingdom of Jin should be pursued, but the time has not yet come."

"When will that time come?"

Chu Yechen pointed to the sky, and said: "As a subject, I should follow the will of the heavens and just do my job well."

After leaving Li Yuan at the gate of the palace, Chu Yechen looked in the direction of Jing'an Palace, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

But Qi Ran was ordered to negotiate with Jin Guo. Although he was not really silent, his attitude was loose, and he didn't seem like someone who wanted peace talks.

But the Kingdom of Jin did not dare to neglect him, and had to entertain him well every time. After coming down several times, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were miserable and took the initiative to take a few steps back, but still insisted on the two cities of Linbo and Ziyuan. Therefore, the two sides have never reached an agreement.

Naturally, Qi Ran made many submissions, imploring the emperor to order the attack on the Kingdom of Jin, but the emperor never made a decision.

This ambiguous attitude made the courtiers who had some thoughts silent, and this matter was delayed.

In the blink of an eye, it's the new year, and there are envoys from foreign courts here, so they will hold a grand palace banquet.

When Gu Jinyu and Qi Ran arrived together, they were truly amazing, with an indescribable majesty, impeccable appearance and demeanor, some people couldn't help standing up, as if they were afraid of offending them.

Guan Boyuan was also caught for a moment, and then he couldn't help feeling sorry, if he knew that Daxi had such a beauty first, if he had won the Jin Kingdom before, he would definitely ask Emperor Daxi to marry Gu Jinyu.

However, Guan Boyuan suddenly thought of the scene of the plum garden presenting flowers, and wondered what the famous young Cheng had in common with the princess.

She didn't seem to reject Chu Yechen that day, maybe the cold-faced god who is invincible on the battlefield already wore a green hat on his head?

Thinking of it this way, there was a bit of pity in his eyes, and a bit of regret with unknown meaning. Even if the beauty is flawed, it's still forgotten by seeing it. It's a pity...

Suddenly, he met a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, felt the murderous intent in them, and his whole body seemed to be frozen. Just when he was about to reveal a more unbearable side, a slender white hand appeared in his sight , Covering that scary gaze.

"What's wrong?" Qi Ran held his hand, and his expression softened instantly.

Gu Jinyu glanced at Guan Boyuan, who was almost limp on the ground, and leaned closer and said, "Don't frighten people, otherwise the show will not be able to continue."

Feeling the heat in his ears, Qi Ran trembled uncontrollably, clenched his hands subconsciously, and responded in a low voice, with a bit of forbearance and lust in his voice, so another low-pitched laughter came from his ears.

Qi Ran was so weak from his laughter, he hugged him helplessly, and begged in a low voice: "Stop playing... just go back and play again."

Seeing him smiling like a flower, although he couldn't hear what they said, the expressions of those who paid attention to it were different.

Chu Yechen took a sip of his wine, and suddenly said, "My lord has been at the border for many years, has he encountered any interesting things? Why don't you tell them for everyone's interest?"

"Wu Bian defense, besides killing the enemy, is still killing the enemy. How can there be any interesting things? Chang'an is prosperous and peaceful, and there are many interesting objects. I wonder if the prime minister has collected any novelties? It will also open everyone's eyes."

Qi Ran was not so easy to talk to outsiders, so he immediately went back with irony.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint the prince. The world is not peaceful. Your Majesty is working hard day and night. As a subject, how dare you seek pleasure? Only at this moment can you relax."

As he spoke, Chu Yechen picked up the wine glass, glanced over, gestured slightly, and drank it down in one gulp.

Qi Ran also gulped down his drink, but his eyes were a little more vigilant. Although the prime minister used to sing against him in the court, the other party was more of an attitude, but now he really noticed it. hostility.

For a moment, he didn't understand what the prime minister wanted to do, but Gu Jinyu, who was at the side, took a second look at Chu Yechen, and an unexplained glint flashed in his eyes.

Soon he smiled as if nothing had happened, and stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth with a leisurely expression.

The others were not as comfortable as he was. Seeing the undercurrent between the two great figures of the dynasty, they unconsciously lowered their voices. This strange atmosphere did not turn into another kind of solemnity until the arrival of the emperor.

The emperor said a few words of encouragement in a very official way, and then signaled the official start of the palace banquet.Several dancers in brightly dressed dresses came in, accompanied by the music, with their sleeves fluttering and swaying.

The Jin Ling around the dancer's waist made a crisp sound, which made the atmosphere of the banquet a little more relaxed and joyful.

However, the happy atmosphere didn't last long, and was broken by a terrified scream: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?! Hurry up and send the imperial physician!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked over, only to see the emperor lying down with a blue face, a bloodstain on his lips, and an overturned wine glass beside him.

Before everyone came back to their senses, Jin Guo was in a panic again, and Guan Boyuan passed out with a pale face.

The author has something to say:

The new year has begun, I wish all the cuties a happy new year, happy new year's day, happiness and health, and everything goes smoothly (≧3≦)
