Chapter 376: Peacemaking



After checking that there was nothing wrong with his arm, Han Xiao looked at Hu Yanjue seriously and said, "How can I help you?"

Huyan Que looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them, then he pulled Han Xiao and took him to a secluded place.

Han Xiao followed him helplessly, thinking, "Didn't he just want him to persuade Chu Jinglin to agree to the marriage? Was there any need to be so cautious?"

Even if Hu Yangui didn't mention it, he would have persuaded Chu Jinglin to agree to the marriage.

However, since Hu Yanqu brought it up first, I will accept this favor.

Han Xiao thought sinisterly as he followed Huyan Que leisurely.

Hu Yanjue was not familiar with the palace, so he reluctantly found a place where no one was watching and cautiously said to Han Xiao, "I just want you to help persuade His Majesty to agree to the marriage. I believe you also understand that if our two countries are on good terms, it will be beneficial to both of us..."

Huyan Que spoke to Han Xiao seriously. Han Xiao leaned against a tree with his arms folded over his chest and looked at Huyan Que.

He was also considering Huyan Que. After all, he had a criminal record with Huyan Sui, and he was really a little worried that Huyan Que would say one thing and do another.

Even if Han Xiao really wanted to send Chu Jingyu away through marriage, he also had to consider the Jiang Kingdom.

He knew what Chu Jinglin was thinking. As a wise monarch, if he wanted to maintain the stability of the country through marriage, it would not be a good thing for him.

But for Han Xiao, he wished to send Chu Jingyu far away.

No matter what, Chu Jingyu is a princess of a country and cannot be beaten or killed. Han Xiao can use an accident to deal with Chu Jingyu.

But since he had the young master and Chao Chao, Han Xiao no longer wanted to get his hands dirty. He wanted to accumulate more blessings for his wife and children. In modern times, he felt that feudal superstitions were not credible, but Han Xiao had come here, and there were some things Han Xiao had to believe.

What's more, now that a best of both worlds method is in front of him, Han Xiao would be a fool if he didn't seize it.

"I can help you persuade His Majesty, but whether His Majesty agrees or not depends on you." Han Xiao patted Huyan Que's shoulder meaningfully.

Hu Yanjue's face lit up with joy and he said in surprise, "Really? Brother Han Xiao, do you agree?"

Huyan Que thought that he would have to work very hard to convince Han Xiao, but he didn't expect Han Xiao to agree so readily.

Han Xiao smiled and nodded: "How can I lie to you? It's just a matter of words anyway, it's not a big deal. I said that in the end it all depends on His Majesty's opinion. Brother Huyan, you should be mentally prepared."

"Okay, okay, I believe that with Brother Han coming forward, His Majesty will definitely agree." Even if Hu Yangui was not in the capital, he knew a lot about the relationship between Brother Han and Chu Jinglin.

If it were someone else, Huyan Que might still be a little hesitant, but with Han Xiao's help, Huyan Que felt reassured.

Besides, among the princesses of the Jiang Kingdom, there is only one who is suitable for marriage.

The news that the Fourth Princess is in love with Han Xiao has spread like wildfire. If I can marry the Fourth Princess to Beidi, it will help Han Xiao solve a lot of troubles, right?

The two looked at each other knowingly, and then Huyan Que left the palace.

After watching Huyan Que's carriage drive away, Han Xiao waved his sleeves and returned to the palace in a very good mood.

Looking at the time, it was still early and it was not time to pick up the young master home, so Han Xiao simply went to find Chu Jinglin.

When he returned to the study, Chu Jinglin was diligently reviewing memorials, and there was a small piece of annotated memorial next to him.

Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this emperor is indeed not someone that an ordinary person can become.

He sleeps later than a dog and gets up earlier than a chicken. If he does something slightly wrong, he will be impeached by a group of ministers. This is simply not something a human being should do.

I don’t know why so many people are fighting for such a thankless position. Wouldn’t it be better to be a rich and idle person?

"Are you back?" Chu Jinglin heard the sound of Han Xiao pushing the door open. There was no one else except Han Xiao who could come in silently.

Han Xiao shrugged and found a place to sit down. "Yeah, it doesn't seem like Hu Yanjue and his brother were born to the same father."

"Oh? It seems like you have a good impression of Huyan Que?" Chu Jinglin put down the brush in his hand and looked up at Han Xiao.

Han Xiao said calmly: "It's okay. Compared with Hu Yansui, I am still a human being."

Chu Jinglin was so angry that he laughed at Han Xiao's outrageous words. Han Xiao was so bold to say such things no matter where he was.

"Are you really not afraid of offending Huyan Que?" Chu Jinglin's expression also became much more relaxed. He always found it easy to relax when he was with Han Xiao.

Han Xiao spread his hands, indicating that he didn't care. "I'm not some powerful official, so it doesn't matter whether I offend anyone or not. With you here, third brother, how can Hu Yanjue assassinate me?"

"As for you, I'm afraid that Ruanruan will learn bad things by being with you." Chu Jinglin said helplessly, not knowing where Han Xiao's amazing ideas came from.

"Ruanruan is such a well-behaved child that she won't learn bad things. But third brother, don't you really want to consider what Huyan Que said?" Han Xiao put away the joking expression on his face and said to Chu Jinglin seriously.

Chu Jinglin stood up from his chair and looked down at Han Xiao: "Why, did Hu Yanque ask you to be his lobbyist?"

Han Xiao shook his head. "No, even if he didn't come to me, I would have discussed the marriage with you, Third Brother. Although I don't agree with it, Hu Yanjue was right about one thing: to achieve peace on the border between our two countries at the lowest cost."

Marriages between foreign allies have been a controversial issue since ancient times. Some people think that the peace achieved through marriages is too shameful, while others think that marriages are a compromise between the small and the big. Both sides have their own disputes, and even in modern times, no one has come to a conclusion.

"What if I don't agree to the marriage?" Chu Jinglin asked seriously. He wanted to know what Han Xiao was thinking. Was he really doing it for the peace of the people of Jiang State, or was he doing it for his own selfish reasons?

Han Xiao chuckled and said helplessly: "What else can I do if you don't agree? I can only think of another way, but I will never let the Fourth Princess threaten Ruanruan's safety again..."

Han Xiao looked directly into Chu Jinglin's eyes and asked in a very serious tone, "I believe Third Brother thinks the same way!"

Chu Jinglin's heart choked when he heard Han Xiao's question. He didn't expect that Han Xiao, this brat, would actually threaten him with Ruanruan.

"Of course, even if you didn't tell me, I would still go and solve Jingyu's problem."

"So how do you want to solve this? Kill her? Or lock her up forever?"
