The next day.
Qin Shuyu came to the Dali Temple again. The two of them were still sitting cross-legged in the dark and damp dungeon. There was no sunlight and the pungent stench of decay was all around.
Hearing the noise, Chen Wei raised his head and saw that it was Qin Shuyu with a faint smile on his face.
"Miss Zhao and the others asked me to bring you a message." Qin Shuyu felt very uncomfortable and said, "As for going to the northern border, they are willing to go and exchange peace for the court."
The smile on Chen Wei's face froze.
they........
How could I possibly go voluntarily?
This is probably for her, to make her feel better...
"They also told me to bail you out. They can go on this trip. I heard that the men of the Xiongnu are brave and strong. They would definitely make a good match for you if you marry one of them."
"They finally said that this wasn't a decision they made because you were imprisoned. If you disagree, they will go to the palace on their own initiative. It's their honor to do something for the people."
“........”
"Forget it. The outcome is set. The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Whether you are willing or not is irrelevant."
Qin Shuyu saw that Chen Wei's face was very unhappy, so he changed the subject and whispered, "Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Anyway, I've already learned everything about the Northern Territory from my father these past two days."
"The Xiongnu Chanyu King passed away two months ago, and the eldest prince was chosen as the next Chanyu."
"But the Xiongnu were in serious internal strife, and the whereabouts of the eldest prince are unknown after he was defeated by the second prince."
"As soon as the Second Prince ascended the throne as the new Chanyu, he immediately launched a war against our dynasty, hoping to gain more from us through this war and to convince others of his unjustifiable usurpation of the throne."
"After all, if he doesn't do this, his position will be unclear and illegitimate. Furthermore, the sons of officials in the Central Plains are vying for military merits, leading to serious internal strife. This is a perfect opportunity for them to take advantage of."
“........”
“........”
"The people's voice and reputation can determine the fall of a dynasty. This is why the Xiongnu are demanding land, money, and three thousand women from our dynasty."
Chen Wei took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions in his heart, and listened to all the words.
In other words, after the battle two years ago, the Huns were originally going to negotiate peace with the Central Plains, but it just so happened that the Chanyu King died at that time.
The original eldest prince disappeared inexplicably.
The second prince was extremely ambitious, and his ascension to the throne was not legitimate. He just used the conquest of the Central Plains as the basis for his ascension to the throne.
So that's how it is...
Chen Wei had a plan in mind, then pursed his lips and looked up, asking: "I see, is there any news about the eldest prince? Is he dead or alive now?"
Qin Shuyu shook his head: "I don't know. This is an internal matter of the Xiongnu. My father can only find out this much information."
"I hope this information is useful to you."
Chen Wei said with emotion: "Yes, it's Xiang Rong and the others... Tell them not to worry about me."
Qin Shuyu listened to her words and hesitated for a moment. She wanted to ask the doubts in her heart, but at this time the voice of the jailer came from a distance.
"Madam Hou, it's time for you to go."
Qin Shuyu took a step forward, then paused and looked back at Chen Wei, lowering his voice and saying, "You haven't really decided to go to the Northern Territory, have you? And you're...trying to distort the situation."
Qin Shuyu felt that even asking this question was ridiculous. How could this be possible? How could she possibly solve something that even the ministers of the court couldn't solve?
But Qin Shuyu vaguely felt that Chen Wei seemed to think so.
Perhaps this is the eccentric Chen Wei, who does things even though she knows they are impossible.
