Chapter 479: Wa Zhen (Part 1)
Emperor Mu Wu sat up straight instantly, looking surprised and happy, and asked in disbelief: "Really?!"
The others present were also shocked by the news and looked over.
Chen Yanchuan said: "Here is the letter, please read it, Your Majesty."
Emperor Mu Wu hurriedly said, "Quick! Show it to me!"
Eunuch Li responded quickly, trotted over to take the letter, turned around and knelt to present it to Emperor Mu Wu.
Emperor Mu Wu was obviously extremely excited. He reached out and took it, opening it impatiently.
The hall was very quiet, with only the sound of Emperor Mu Wu flipping through letters.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they had not yet recovered from this huge news.
Jiang Zhaoyuan could hardly believe his ears: "Mumu Zhen'er asked for peace? How, how is this possible?"
The Wazhen people were a nomadic people who had occupied the northern grasslands for many years. They were good at riding and fighting, and their customs were tough.
Due to the shortage of supplies, there were frequent burning, killing and looting in the northern border, and conflicts broke out between the two sides almost every once in a while.
This is why there are 200,000 troops stationed in the northern border, just to guard the national border!
Since Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, the northern border has been invaded by the Wazhen for decades, and Emperor Muwu has been troubled by this for a long time.
I didn't expect that I would receive Mumu Zhen'er's letter of peace request today!
Who wouldn't be shocked by this?
The princess pondered for a moment and said, "Mumu Zhen'er has a strong and resolute personality. Has she suddenly changed her personality?"
She had fought with Master Wa before and knew how fearless they were.
It is extremely difficult to get them to make concessions.
Jiang Zhaoyuan frowned and said, "There must be something fishy going on here! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Emperor Muwu quickly finished reading the letter, but his mind was still not at peace. While he was thinking, he heard Jiang Zhaoyuan's words and immediately became unhappy: "I will figure it out myself."
Jiang Zhaoyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had said something wrong.
——Emperor Mu Wu hasn’t said anything yet, but he has made such a bold statement. Isn’t he saying that Emperor Mu Wu is brainless? Can't even tell whether a letter asking for peace is good or bad?
He immediately knelt down on the ground:
"Your Majesty is wise and will make the final decision! I, the old minister, have said too much!"
However, these words of salvation did not carry much weight in the ears of Emperor Mu Wu.
He has been bedridden recently, and Jiang Zhaoyuan chose to resign at this time. How much can such a person truly serve him and the country?
Emperor Mu Wu ignored it and read the letter over and over again.
"This is indeed Mumu Zhen'er's handwriting."
The Wazhen were a nomadic people and few of them were literate. Mumu Zhen'er was born into a noble family and had received relevant education, which enabled her to write this letter.
Moreover, in the early years, Emperor Mu Wu had fought with Mumu Zhen'er more than once, so she can still be recognized.
The princess asked curiously, "After so many years of fighting, why is he willing to negotiate now?"
Emperor Mu Wu handed over the letter and said, "You will know the answer after you read it yourself."
The eldest princess took it, frowned slightly, and then gradually relaxed.
After watching it till the end, she chuckled, "So that's how it is."
Emperor Muwu said, "Wazhen has been hit by drought this year. The grasslands have dried up, and the cattle and sheep don't have enough fodder. In addition, there was a sudden heavy snowfall some time ago, which froze many of their horses to death. In such a situation, it's no wonder that Mumu Zhen'er is anxious."
In the past, when there were no supplies, we would just go to the northern border cities to loot.
But the situation this year is so bleak that there are no more men and horses capable of fighting.
Especially since the Northern Frontier has always been commanded by Shen Youyan and his army, it is already difficult to deal with. Adding to this situation, what is there to fight for?
Let's make peace.
Keep your head down, at least this winter will be a little easier to get through.
The eldest princess was quite emotional: "I thought that Mumu Zhen'er was a tough nut to crack, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when she would give in."
"I guess his surrender is only temporary." Emperor Mu Wu's face turned serious. "This man is untrustworthy and has never kept his word. We should be cautious."
He said this because he had suffered such a loss in the past.
Mumu Zhen'er can be called a tyrant. He will do anything to achieve his goals. He may agree to something one moment, but turn against you the next.
He got the position of leader by killing his father during the chaos.
It is indeed difficult to make a decision when such a dishonest and ungrateful person writes such a letter.
Chen Songshi stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty is right. Mumu Zhen'er should not be trusted. However, he is busy with his own affairs at the moment. For the sake of interests, he may really be able to facilitate peace talks. If a truce can be reached, it will bring peace to the people of Northern Xinjiang."
No one can stand being beaten for months and years.
The soldiers fought to the death, the common people were displaced, and there was no peace.
If the issue can be resolved peacefully, it will undoubtedly be the best and most worry-free option.
Emperor Mu Wu fell into deep thought.
Everyone remained silent, waiting for him to make a decision.
Suddenly, Shen Yanchuan broke the silence.
"Your Majesty, I have received a piece of news that may be related to Mumu Zhen'er's request for peace this time."
Emperor Mu Wu immediately said, "Speak."
Chen Yanchuan paused for a moment before he continued word by word: "An informant reported that Mumu Zhen'er suddenly became seriously ill, and the fight between the four sons has reached a white-hot stage. Mumu Zhen'er felt that her position was difficult to maintain, and she was even more afraid that after her death, the tribe would be split and defeated one by one, so she chose to urgently seek peace."
As soon as the words fell, the huge hall fell into a long silence.
Ye Chutang stood aside, his eyes still fixed on the three inches in front of him, as if he heard nothing.
However, in her heart, she couldn't help but applaud.
high.
It’s really high!
During this period, the Crown Prince kept a low profile, and everyone thought that he had no intention of getting involved in the dispute and intended to stay out of it.
I didn’t expect it—it’s waiting here!
Mumu Zhen'er sent the peace agreement for such a reason!
He suddenly fell seriously ill, and his son fought for the throne - didn't this make him and Emperor Mu Wu two brothers in distress?
Sure enough, when Emperor Mu Wu heard the last word, his expression became extremely ugly.
He was not unaware of the many events that had occurred in the court recently, but he could still comfort himself that as long as he recovered from his illness, everything would be under control.
However, at this moment, Shen Yanchuan's words were like a sharp blade, tearing apart all the masks! Lay the naked truth before his eyes!
Have to face it!
Have to wake up!
He is not dead yet, but his sons may have been looking forward to his death for a long time!
As for those people below, they may have already found a way and are always waiting to cheer for their new master!
Emperor Mu Wu's blood surged, but he still forcibly suppressed the strong discomfort in his chest and spoke in a deep voice:
"So, this letter of peace is credible?"
Chen Yanchuan thought for a moment and said, "At least within a year, Wazhen will not have the energy to break the contract."
That's it!
Emperor Mu Wu closed his eyes for a long time before saying:
"In that case... that's fine, that's fine too!"
