Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 267 Request for peace

Xie Yao's concerns were not redundant. He was the crown prince at present. According to the regulations of Dayan, the crown prince wanted to participate in politics in Wenhua Hall. However, many things were not passed by him.

Just like the charter of the Zhongqiu Poetry Club, Qian Minzhong never said hello to him at all. After making a reservation with the cabinet, he reported it directly to the emperor.

Thanks to the newly promoted Minister of Personnel Zhang Ruogu, Xie Yao only realized that at this year's Zhongqiu Poetry Festival, the emperor not only feasted the ministers and enjoyed the people, but also invited envoys from the Northern Di to participate.

The envoy of Beidi arrived in the capital two days ago. This time he entered the capital, he naturally came to peace talks with Dayan.

The envoy who came to Dayan for peace this time was Yuan Chen, the third brother of Dahan Yuan Bolu of Beidi. It is said that he has been practicing poetry since childhood and is well aware of the customs and culture of Dayan. He was regarded by Beidi as the best candidate for peace talks.

A month ago, the army of Chen Jinghui, the Marquis of Chang'an, had evacuated the border of Luyuan, leaving only Xu Wentao and two thousand troops to defend Jinlan Pass to assist the governor of Luyuan Xu Ling to defend the enemy.

Although the army in the northern border of Dayan retreated, the cavalry of the Upp tribe in the east of Beidi showed no sign of withdrawing troops. The 20,000 elite soldiers were destroyed and they were almost approaching the capital of Beidi.

When the war was tense, all the Beidi army retreated, dealing with Upp's army, and only a few thousand defenders were left on the border with Dayan.

At present, the garrison guarding the northern border of Dayan is Xu Wentao. He is very different from the generals of Dayan in the past. After finding an opportunity, he took hundreds of cavalry to the Beidi grassland.

In the past, the Northern Di harassed Dayan, but now the feng shui is changing. The border of the Northern Di was harassed by the Dayan army every few days.

Nearly half an hour later, the person who went out to look for him had not turned around yet, Xie Xi took Lin Zisu upstairs in a swagger.

Lin Zisu walked behind Xie Xi and noticed the bad eyes around her. She could not be as casual as Xie Xi, and strictly followed the etiquette.

The Zhongqiu Poetry Conference kicked off with such intrigue. Just after the fifteenth day of August, the sun had not completely sunk into the western mountain, and the gate of the Forbidden City had already begun to be lively.

At this time, all the civil and military officials had already taken their seats. When they heard the movement, they looked at the two of them.

However, the emperor also thought of this. He first glanced at Xie Xi, and saw Lin Zisu finishing his tribute, and seemed to say casually: "Su Yatou, today's Zhongqiu Poetry Conference, you can see it."

Therefore, everyone in the court and the public regard peace talks as a major event in the court. Whoever can lead the peace talks will definitely add a lot to the emperor's heart.

Standing above the Wufeng Tower, the entire capital was in sight. The emperor admired the sunset for a while with interest and joked with several children of the royal family.

Since the envoys of Beidi came to Beijing to seek peace, the emperor was in a good mood and arrived at Wufeng Tower at the Meridian Gate early.

Sitting in this position, you can not only see every move on the stage, but also see the words and deeds on Wufeng Tower clearly.

The prince and the princess received the emperor's message in advance and arrived early. Some families also arrived with their families.

As soon as Lin Yuanzhi sat down, he saw the emperor talking to Lin Zisu with a spring breeze on his face, and his heart suddenly felt a little confused.

This time, it was Beidi's turn to start having a headache.

Qian Minzhong took the lead, so Xie Yao had to go to the emperor and test the emperor's attitude.

Xie Xi was like nothing happened. After coming to the emperor, Dalala gave a bow, he stood up straight without waiting for the emperor to speak.

A large circle of wine tables were placed in sequence around the table. Those Beijing officials who were qualified to attend the poetry meeting sat in sequence according to their heights under the guidance of the Guanglu Temple servants.

Beidi was sparsely populated and had a vast border, so there were not enough defenders to stop Xu Wentao's cavalry.

The people sitting on Wufeng Tower are all noble people. Lin Zisu and Xie Xi got married and needed to appear in such occasions.

The emperor talked a few words to everyone, looked around, but did not see Lin Zisu and Xie Xi. He called Zhang Gu and asked, "Has I explained it? I asked Xiao Sier and Su Yatou to come here early, why didn't I see anyone at this time?"

With Lin Zisu's current identity, he was originally not qualified to stand on Wufeng Tower.

Several cabinet ministers gave each other such a wink, and then they all set their eyes down the Wufeng Tower.

After hearing the emperor's question, Zhang Gu did not dare to neglect and ordered a few eunuchs to go and look for them separately.

The Wufeng Tower has a limited location, which is more than twenty. In addition to the royal members such as the prince and princess, there are also some meritorious people with close relationships with the emperor, as well as several close ministers of the cabinet.

Xie Yao originally thought that the emperor would hand over such a major event to him. However, he never thought that Qian Minzhong would make a decision without authorization and arranged a trip for the envoys of Beidi in private.

The Wufeng Tower is a nine double-eaved main building at the upper part of the Forbidden City Meridian Gate. There are two palaces on both sides, with a total of five pavilions. The entire building is staggered in height and echoes left and right. Because it looks like a phoenix wing, it is also known as the "Five Phoenix Tower".

The sunset glow in the west is like fire, and a shallow moon mark appeared in the sky in the east.

"Your Majesty calm down, I will send someone to find you!"

As the Minister of Justice, Lin Yuanzhi was not considered to be of high authority, but he had the title of Corning Bo, and was also given the glory of Lin Zisu and was arranged to be a very close to the platform.

These days, Beidi had lost thousands of people and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. The Beidi was panicked and hurriedly sent envoys to Dayan to negotiate peace.

The treasury has long been empty, and in the past few months, it has barely maintained huge expenses due to the summer tax collected and the salt tax collected.

In the past, the army of Dayan was used to defending and never thought of taking the initiative, so Beidi never thought about defending the territory. When he met Xu Wentao, he immediately felt the embarrassment of Dayan in the past.

A large open space outside the Meridian Gate was laid with a bright red carpet in the morning. A gorgeous high platform was built in the center of the open space, and more than a dozen book cases were placed on the platform.

Nowadays, the domestic storm is in turmoil. Not only is the Pingjiang River in the south of the Yangtze River flooding, but the bandits in Guanzhong are also in a trend of being out of control.

The emperor did not express much, but just expressed his words to comfort him and instructed Xie Yao to learn more about governing the country with the cabinet so that he would not be controlled by the court officials in the future.

This is his own daughter. She is not yet old enough to get married, but she is regarded as her daughter-in-law by the emperor.

These days, the emperor not only brought Lin Zisu to the palace from time to time, but also asked her to attend the imperial lectures.

In private, Lin Yuanzhi was teased by many colleagues, saying that he envied him for raising a good daughter. He looked envious when he said it, but he said all kinds of strange words behind his back.

Something else is said that Lin Yuanzhi sells his daughter for honor. It is because of Lin Zisu that Lin Yuanzhi has obtained his current position.
