Li Xiuzhu was even happier when he knew that the Crown Princess was a love-brained person.
Which man can not love a love-brain that thinks about you wholeheartedly and loves you to death?
Especially in ancient times, as long as they give a little care and love, it will not prevent you from having three wives and four concubines.
Thai cool spicy good.
"Okay, little darling, I believe you, let's not waste time, okay? The night is short."
As soon as the word "little darling" came out, Xiao Rongyu felt numb. Such simple and straightforward sweet words were like an arrow that pierced her heart and made her brain lose the ability to think.
"Yes! I will follow my husband's arrangements."
Li Xiuzhu's eyes twitched. He didn't expect that such a straightforward and corny call would have such an effect.
In the future, they will only think you are greasy, corny and disgusting.
As expected, I am still suitable for living in ancient times.
At the same time, the news that Li Xiuzhu came to the Prince's Mansion seemed to have wings and reached the ears of Emperor Li Kuo and the third prince Li Chengyu.
Li Kuo was the one who gave the order, so he naturally didn't care. Instead, he felt that his prince had become more mature after experiencing this incident.
Li Chengyu frowned and listened to the spy's report.
The Prince's Mansion is riddled with holes, and even if his spies are not of a very high rank, they can still find out something.
For example, who went to the prince.
It was not late at night and Su Xiaoxiao was there too. After Li Chengyu sent the spy away, he asked Su Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, why do you think the prince keeps looking for Li Xiuzhu? Or is Li Xiuzhu the prince's man now?"
"If we try to win over Li Xiuzhu, will he sell us out?"
After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while in silence and shook her head.
"This, Xiaoxiao can't guess."
"Logically speaking, although Li Xiuzhu was not the main person responsible for the autumn hunt, he should have been implicated by the Crown Prince. This is why you, Third Prince, tried to win over Li Xiuzhu in the first place."
"But now, Xiaoxiao feels that we should at least test Li Xiuzhu to confirm his relationship with the prince before deciding whether to win him over or not."
"Three days later is the date he and I agreed to meet. By then, Xiaoxiao will definitely confirm it for the Third Prince."
Li Chengyu was silent for a moment and nodded after hearing this.
"Well, remember to make sure he is definitely not the prince's man before you try to win him over. We only have one chance."
It has to be said that the Third Prince Li Chengyu is much more stable than the Crown Prince. If Li Chengze could be patient and wait until everything is arranged properly, Li Kuo would not be defeated so quickly.
At the same time, several Silla people were sitting in an inn in a town a hundred miles away from Shangjing.
"This snow came so suddenly that we will definitely not be able to reach the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty on time. Will it be delayed by a few days?"
The person who was speaking was a woman, but she was not sitting on the table or chair. Instead, she was standing by the window looking at the snowflakes outside.
"Princess, the official at the post station said that we are about a hundred miles away from Shangjing now."
"Looking at the snow, it will probably snow for at least three days. If we hurry up tomorrow morning, we should be able to reach the outskirts of Beijing by tomorrow night."
"If we don't hurry, it will probably take more than three days."
The snow at the beginning does not affect the journey too much, but if the snow is more than half a foot, it will affect it.
If it's more than one foot, the journey will take at least several times longer.
"The carriage must move faster tomorrow. We must enter the city when the gates of Shangjing City open the day after tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll give the order right away."
To be honest, the officials don’t quite understand why there is such a rush.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter if it's a few days late.
But the other party was a princess after all, and he couldn't refute it.
So only the princess can come.
Of course, since the princess came, she had another purpose, which was marriage.
Yes, we are marrying off our princess, so you from the Great Zhou should also show some appreciation, right?
Everything is for survival.
Wait, is the princess in such a hurry because she wants to get married quickly and exchange it for food for Silla?
Yes, of course. The princess is so great. I didn’t understand her before.
At this time, the Silla princess turned around, and a face as bright as the moon appeared.
"This marriage is extremely important to our Silla. When you arrive in Shangjing City, you will contact the officials of the Great Zhou."
"It's mainly about the third-rank civil servants on the other side. We must win them over to speak for us."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"The civil officials of the Great Zhou are all greedy for money."
“Although our Silla has suffered heavy losses, we still have some property.”
"What you have to do is to make sure that the betrothal gifts are exchanged for food. Now food is the only foundation for our Silla to survive."
No one knew whether this was the princess's insight or the king's order, but their interests were the same at this moment.
Only if Silla has people can they live a good life in the future, so they are willing to pay even if it requires some money.
"I'll take charge of the Prime Minister and the Grand Marshal. The spy has sent me news that their Grand Tutor is dead."
"Then I will be in charge of the officials from the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Revenue among the six ministries."
"I am in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War."
As long as more than half of so many people agree, there will be no risk of failure.
Princess Haibie heard the reports from several ministers and said expressionlessly: "Well, you guys take care of it. Remember, this is about the survival of Silla, so you must be careful."
"Everyone, go down."
Upon hearing this, the four of them stood up, said goodbye and left.
When the room became quiet, a woman in white suddenly appeared behind Hai Bie.
"Besides marriage? Is there no other way? I heard that their emperor is an old man."
The voice is gentle and magnetic, and seems to carry a maternal glow.
Hai Bie didn't seem to be surprised at all about who the person behind him was, as if he was used to her presence.
But after hearing the woman's words, Hai Bie smiled bitterly and leaned back. Until he felt the warmth behind him, Hai Bie said faintly: "Nalan, I have no choice. There are hundreds of thousands of Silla people standing behind me."
"If I can exchange my life for their chance to live, it will be considered that I am worthy of my status as a princess."
"But you, do you really want to assassinate that marquis?"
The woman named Nalan nodded without hesitation.
"Before he died, your brother begged me to kill him. Your brother was the wisest and most capable prince in Silla. He said that if Li Xiuzhu didn't die, Silla would never make a comeback within a hundred years, and might even be destroyed."
Of course, the name Li Xiuzhu was not said by Hai Bie’s brother, but they only knew it after the spy behind them reported it.
Although they lived in the royal court, they only realized along the way what an evil act it was.
Nine out of ten houses north of Liaodong are empty.
After this catastrophe, there were only 200,000 or 300,000 people left out of the original millions, most of whom were royal family members living near the Silla royal court.
But it is undeniable that while they are filled with fear and disgust, there is also a hint of curiosity in their hearts.
