Rebirth of a Female General

Chapter 219
Today Liu Xiyuan contradicted Xu Xiangfeng in the court hall, and it is impossible to stay in the court hall for a long time.

Fortunately, he didn't want to stay in the court anymore, but he just found a reason to send him down. When he exhausted this old man in the future, he would always have a chance to be promoted back.

The emperor wondered how long he would have to live before Xu Xiangfeng was exhausted, but he saw Xu Xiangfeng stand up and make trouble for himself: "It is precisely because of the grievances between the two parties that His Royal Highness King Shu should marry Princess Xirong, so that we can show off the truth." The two countries are determined to have a good relationship. As for Master Liu's words, the fact that Princess Xirong's status is superior to the generals will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, the veteran thinks that it is too much to worry about."

"After Princess Xirong married His Highness King Shu, she was nothing more than a daoist family living in the back house, and she had nothing to do with the soldiers of Xijiang."

After all, Xu Xiangfeng asked again, "In terms of status, if Princess Xirong marries King Duan as a concubine, her status will still be higher than those of the soldiers, and may even be higher. Master Liu thinks, but that's the case?"

"The prime minister's words seem reasonable, but they are not."

Liu Xiyuan was not afraid of Xu Xiangfeng's implied threat, and immediately retorted, "His Royal Highness Shu is the Marshal of the Xijiang Army and Horses. Even if Princess Xirong lives in the back house, if she marries His Highness Shu, she will inevitably be married. There are contacts with the soldiers and civilians of the western border. Given the hatred of the soldiers and civilians of the western border towards Xi Rong, Princess Xi Rong may find it difficult to move forward when she arrives in the western border."

"And if you marry His Royal Highness Duan Wang as a side concubine, Princess Xirong lives in Kangdu, it will be difficult for a while to adapt to the customs of Kangdu, and it will not be as sad as in Xijiang. And with Duan Wangfei taking care of you, you can go faster Adapt to my Wu'an scenery."

Liu Xiyuan smiled, and threw the question back to Xu Xiangfeng, "Even if it is a marriage, it should be considered for Princess Xirong. The prime minister thinks, but is this the truth?"

Xu Xiangfeng raised his eyes and looked at Liu Xiyuan, and said: "Lord Liu came to Kangdu for the first time and got involved in government affairs, and he is still not very familiar with state affairs. In Wu'an, the relatives of the frontier guards all live in Kangdu City. Therefore, Xirong The princess is married to His Royal Highness King Shu, and she also lives in Kangdu City, and does not need to go far to the western border."

"This is my negligence."

Liu Xiyuan laughed, with a smile on his face, but he refused to budge, "However, since it is marriage, why does it have to be the prince to marry Princess Xirong?"

"The two princesses are married."

Xu Xiangfeng reminded Liu Xiyuan, "Master Liu is still young, so don't be too impetuous, and take care of everything, so as not to be said to have a bad memory."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your suggestion, the students are very grateful."

Liu Xiyuan praised Xu Xiangfeng, and said, "The students just think that since Xirong is a defeated country, and the treaty was torn up first, whether it is the prince marrying the princess of Xirong, or the princess marrying the imperial city of Xirong, it seems too much." Lift up Xirong."

"There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: How can you repay grievances with virtue? This minister thinks that Xirong is an unjust act this time, and even the county king and princess can also be included in the candidates for this marriage."

Liu Xiyuan said to the emperor, "Xi Rong's act was unrighteous this time, and he used the marriage as a threat to influence the peace negotiation and compensation. I thought that if their wishes were really fulfilled and the prince and princess were married, it would be a waste of money. He fell into the trap of the other party and fell behind in the peace talks."

"Wei Chen still said the same thing, since it is a marriage, he should also consider a thing or two for Princess Xirong, as long as Princess Xirong nods to marry, then everything will be undisputed."

"Liu Aiqing is right."

Xu Xiangfeng was about to argue coldly, but was interrupted by the emperor, "In this way, Mr. Zhong will also include the county king and the princess as candidates for marriage. The prince and Princess Xirong live in harmony and friendship, and I believe that Aiqing will definitely give me a satisfactory answer."

"Since it is a peace negotiation between the two countries, it is natural to deepen mutual understanding in order to better promote win-win cooperation."

The emperor said happily, "We old people are old and stubborn, and there is nothing to change. But it is not harmful for them to communicate more with each other and learn from each other. Why don't we invite Prince Xirong and Princess Xirong, Go to Guozijian to study with the county kings and princesses for a period of time to deepen our relationship, and by the way, play in Kangdu for a period of time, so that we can show our friendship as landlords."

"What do you ladies think?"

The officials looked at each other and looked at Xu Xiangfeng.

Liu Xiyuan glanced at Xu Xiangfeng with a cold face, stood up first, and said, "I think this is a good move."

Someone started it, and naturally someone wanted to follow suit.

It's just that Xu Xiangfeng didn't speak, and those who were afraid of offending Xu Xiangfeng didn't dare to speak.

"The minister thinks this is feasible."

Wang Weitao echoed, then turned his head to look at Xu Xiangfeng, and put him on the shelf, "The prime minister always puts the country first, and I think he is worried about Xi Rong's power, but he is unwilling to let him arrogantly overwhelm us in the peace talks. Colleagues are humiliated."

"Your Prime Minister loves all officials as much as you love your own children. You must be unwilling to meet the adults who are going to peace talks, and you want to see the faces of those unrighteous people in Xirong, and feel aggrieved in your heart."

Liu Xiyuan followed Wang Weitao's words and blocked Xu Xiangfeng's way of refusing.

Xu Xiangfeng glanced coldly at Wang Weitao and Liu Xiyuan who were singing together.

Each of the two said something, which seemed to be a compliment, but actually made it difficult for him to refuse the emperor's proposal.

If he refused, it would be because he was afraid of seeing Xi Rong's power, so he bowed his head to Xi Rong, wanting to be full of civil and military affairs, and even the whole Wu Anguo to pretend to be a grandson in front of Xi Rong.

It is important to assess the situation, but the pride of a country should not be lost.

And as a prime minister for the country and the people, he is the head of all officials, and he is the one who should keep the pride of the country after judging the situation.

Otherwise, the reputation he has accumulated in the government and the opposition for most of his life will be greatly reduced.

Xu Xiangfeng turned his eyes and looked at the high-ranking emperor with half-drowned triangular eyes.

The little emperor finally raised two good dogs, and he also knew how to drive dogs away from biting people.

Xu Xiangfeng lowered his eyes, suppressed the cold light in his eyes, cupped his hands and said: "The old minister has no objection to this."

Xu Xiangfeng lowered his head.

The rest of the people naturally agreed.

It's just that among the remaining people, there are two who are very powerless to agree.

The emperor glanced at Xu Kaida, who was full of resentment and reluctantly seconded, and silently looked away, not daring to ask.

If you want to keep envoys to stay in Beijing, the expenses will naturally be astronomical.

But now the national treasury has a pile of red bills, and is waiting for Xi Rong's compensation to settle the accounts, but in the end he has to drag the peace talks.

On the one hand, there is a huge expense like a bottomless pit, and on the other hand, there is a compensation payment with no deadline for compensation. It is no wonder that Xu Kaida is not happy.

　Liu Xiyuan: I am in a hurry with anyone who wants to tear down the cp I knocked out!
