Chapter 135 Lou Lan seeks

peace "I am just a messenger, and I dare not speculate on the emperor's words." Eunuch Ren replied with a smile.

He asked for leave today, and the emperor sent someone to find him, which shows that the matter is not small.

Feng Zuwen changed his clothes and followed Eunuch Ren into the palace.

When they arrived at Yu's study, there were already several ministers present.

Prime Minister Wu Manjiang, Minister of War Zeng Yuwei, Minister of Revenue Zhu Guangliang, Minister of Rites Jiang Zhongzhen, and Prince Chen Yun Hongchen.

They are all important officials in the court.

"I have seen the emperor." Feng Zuwen greeted respectfully.

"My dear Feng, you are the last to arrive. Take a look at this military report sent by Prince Lu first." Yun Hongxiao asked Eunuch Yuan to hand him a memorial on the table.

Feng Zuwen did not attend the morning court today, so he naturally did not know what was going on. The other few people were left behind after the court.

He read it hurriedly.

Feng Zuwen's expression was a little strange, neither happy nor surprised.

"Your Majesty, Prince Lu has made great contributions in this battle. He was able to drive the Loulan invaders out of our flames in such a short time. His contribution is indispensable." Feng Zuwen commented very pertinently.

If it were him, he might not be able to do it, so this Prince Lu is really capable. No wonder the daughter said that he wanted to rebel. He really has this ability.

"Yes, not only did he drive them out of our country, but he also forced the second prince of Loulan to issue a peace letter. It's really rare. The ten-shot crossbow designed by the second prince also played a big role, otherwise it would not be so easy." Yun Hongxiao sighed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to our Yanyan, the border is now stable." Wu Manjiang bowed to the sky and said.

After hearing what Wu Manjiang said, several ministers also congratulated him again.

"I asked you to come to discuss how to receive the second prince of Loulan's request for peace. He wants to come to our capital to pay homage in person.

This is the first time in decades that a prince of Loulan has come to pay homage to our Yanyan. We should do our best to be a good host and show the national prestige and etiquette of our Yanyan." Yun Hongxiao said at the end, a little excited.

You know, Loulan has always looked down on Yanyan, if it weren't for the fact that they had to buy supplies from Yanyan every year, they would have given it some face.

They have always been proud of their strong soldiers and horses, and look down on the people of Flame, who are generally small in size, even their horses are short.

Flame is the smallest among the four surrounding countries.

The largest is the Ice and Snow Country in the northeast, followed by the Loulan Country in the northwest, and the Water Dragon Country in the southeast are all larger than Flame.

Flame is located in the hilly area in the southwest, but it is the most suitable place for human habitation.

There will be no droughts or floods, and the climate is pleasant.

It is precisely because of this that the other three countries are always eyeing Flame.

This is also why Flame holds a martial arts competition every three years like the imperial examination, which is to select as many military talents as possible.

It is also because of this that Flame has not been destroyed by other countries.

"Your Majesty, the second prince of Loulan is coming, and he is the one seeking peace, so we don't need to entertain him." Minister of War Zeng Yuwei suggested. "

Mr. Zeng, this is wrong. If we are polite to him, he will feel guilty and will not be embarrassed to start a war against our country in the future." Minister of Rites Jiang Zhongzhen disagreed. He wanted to show others a country of etiquette.

"If you are polite to him, he may not appreciate it. Some people are like dogs. How can you expect him to change his eating habits?" Zeng Yuwei retorted rudely.

He wanted to say that a dog can't change its eating habits, but thinking that this was in front of the emperor, he changed to be more civilized.

But no one is a fool, and no one didn't understand what he meant.

Feng Zuwen laughed very wildly and laughed out loud.

"I also think what Lord Zeng said makes sense." Feng Zuwen saw that everyone was looking at him, so he quickly expressed his attitude to cover up his embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, I think we should treat him according to normal etiquette, and there is no need to treat him too well. It is even necessary to kill his sharpness. Don't think that we, the Flame, are so easy to bully." Zhu Guangliang, the Minister of Revenue, also agreed with Zeng Yuwei's statement.

"Royal brother, what do you think?" Yun Hongxiao asked Yun Hongchen.

"I think we should treat him normally, and there is no need to treat him too well, because he is the initiator of peace, and he also provoked the war. For this, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Flame died in the battle. Which one of them is not a son with a family?"

Yun Hongchen often went out to observe the people's sentiments for the emperor, and he understood the difficulties of the people best.

Those sons are the pillars of every family.

Yun Hongxiao concluded after everyone had expressed their opinions.

"Since all of you think it is unnecessary to treat the second prince of Loulan well, then treat him as an ordinary envoy.

The Ministry of Rites will send people to clean up the embassy, ​​and then let the doctor of the Ministry of Rites Zhu Qingshan be in charge of the reception. Since the second prince is not the empress's son, he is not the legitimate prince, so let the second prince go to welcome him."

"Your Majesty is wise." Several ministers agreed.

"But there is no rush for this matter. The second prince still needs to go back to the capital of Loulan to discuss with the king of Loulan, and then come to the flames, which will take at least two months."

The next day, Yun Hongxiao announced this matter in the palace.

Soon the news spread throughout the capital, and then spread to all parts of the country.

Yun Xinglu's prestige among the people reached an unprecedented height.

That night, Feng Zuwen talked about this matter at the dinner table.

Feng Tianxing did not comment after hearing this.

[Humph, he will die at the hands of the second prince anyway. He is just a role that helps others achieve success. Eh, why should he die at the hands of the second prince? Wouldn't it be better to die at the hands of his father?]

Feng Tianxing began to ponder, but couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

[Oh, forget it, let's talk about it later.]

Feng Zuwen, who heard this, also started to think about it. It seems that when Prince Lu comes back, he will have to go to the palace more often.

But after so long, the Feng family's secret guards couldn't find out the situation in Prince Lu's mansion.

Prince Lu's mansion was guarded like an iron barrel.

It can be seen that this person is really not simple.

He married a woman who broke off the engagement with his own family, and no one knows what the situation is. I haven't heard that she was killed by that.

Xue Yarong never goes out to socialize.

Every day, he saw Xue Jingwen's family going to court on time and getting close to several officials.

Feng Zuwen had a headache and felt very powerless.

Although he got some information from the concubine, it was not specific. It was just an event without a process.

He didn't know where to start if he wanted to intervene. He could only wait for things to happen and then think of a temporary solution.

He couldn't ask the concubine directly, wouldn't it expose the fact that the whole family could hear her thoughts?

This must not be known to the concubine, otherwise she would not dare to think of anything.

Moreover, everyone knows what a person is thinking. Think about how it feels, there is no secret at all, it's no different from being naked.

So the whole family remembered this firmly and would never let the concubine notice.

Time flies, and a month has passed since my sister-in-law got married. Yuan Qiaolan takes the medicine given by Feng Tianxing on time every day, and her face becomes more rosy day by day.

Feng Tianxing plans to give her pills in a few days to completely cure her heart disease.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of this day, Yuan Qiaolan was accompanying Song Shuqing to teach Feng Tianxing how to write in the main courtyard.

Now Feng Yuanhao has to focus on the imperial examinations and prepare for the examinations. As soon as Yuan Qiaolan got married, she took the initiative to take over this job.

Suddenly, housekeeper Chen rushed in again.

"Madam, young madam, someone from the Yuan family asked the young madam to return to the Yuan family as soon as possible." Chen Shiming said anxiously.

"What happened?" Yuan Qiaolan was so scared that she stood up immediately when she heard it.
