Compared with the cold winter in the north, the capital is already feeling a bit like spring.

The maids put on spring clothes and shuttled around the palace like flowers and butterflies, adding a bit of splendor to the solemn palace.

It's a pity that the emperor was not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery.

Lu Yunqi stood outside the palace gate and heard the sound of the emperor banging the table with a memorial from inside.

"If we haven't already agreed to negotiate a peace, why are these Jin people still making trouble? What is Huang Cheng doing?"

"Master Huang has been negotiating with the Jin people attentively to strive for more benefits for us, Dazhou."

"Then why are the Jin people so noisy?"

"Something happened in Beidi recently, and the Jin people are very dissatisfied."

"What could happen to Beidi? Is Zhushan causing trouble again?"

A royal guard hurriedly approached, interrupting Lu Yunqi to listen to what the emperor was saying.

"Sir, there is news from the North." He bowed his head and saluted, then took a step forward and whispered.

Lu Yunqi walked a few steps outside and stood under the pillars looking at the imperial guard.

"Where is she?" he said.

"In Shenzhou." Jin Yiwei said.

Lu Yunqi frowned slightly.

"He actually went to Shenzhou from Qingyuan Mansion? Why didn't Jin Shiba come back with news?" he asked.

Jin Yiwei was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lu Yunqi.

"Sir, I'm talking about the news about the crown prince Cheng Guo," he said.

Lu Yunqi straightened his brows.

"It's time for news about him to appear." He said calmly, "Sure enough, he went to Shenzhou."

Sir, have you known this for a long time? Jin Yiwei was a little surprised.

Lu Yunqi took a few steps forward, and the spring breeze lingered in the palace and blew the corners of his red clothes.

"Mrs. Chengguo and the Crown Prince went to Bazhou." He said calmly, "Sons and husbands cannot hide behind their backs and let women be questioned and harassed."

Jinyiwei understood that when Mrs. Cheng Guogong and Mrs. Shizi appeared in Hejian Mansion, they knew immediately that they were indeed going to Hejian Bazhou to find them.

Now that Prince Chengguo has appeared in Shenzhou, the Jin Yiwei naturally no longer need to look for Mrs. Chengguo.

"What's more, women have already done important things to defend the country and protect the people. Why would the prince hide in hiding?" Lu Yunqi said dumbly, "These people who are loyal and courageous for the country and the people are really admirable and respectable.

."

These words seemed to come from the heart, but were indifferent and distant. Jin Yiwei didn't know how to react for a moment.

they just

"Catch him?" Jin Yiwei asked.

"There's no need to arrest him," Lu Yunqi said.

Because Zhu Zan was loyal and loyal to the country and the people, was he doing something to save the people in Shenzhou and protect the state from going south? This kind of thing is a matter of great justice after all.

A thought flashed through Jin Yiwei's mind.

"Kill him." Lu Yunqi said and turned around.

Jin Yiwei's heart trembled, he lowered his head in response, turned around and walked away quickly.

Lu Yunqi walked towards the entrance of the palace again, when someone wandered around from the side.

"Oh, Lu Qianhu."

Some exaggerated sounds followed.

Lu Yunqi looked over and saw a man in a prince's uniform standing over. He didn't know whether he was smiling or fat.

"Your Highness the Wise King." He bowed and saluted.

The wise king had already reached out to take his arm.

"Sir Qianhu, you're too polite." He said, winking at him with a smile, "No, you shouldn't call me Commander."

Lu Yunqi officially became the commander of the Imperial Guards two years ago, although his status had already been this way.

Lu Yunqi bowed his head and saluted again.

"What is your Majesty doing?" the wise king asked in a low voice with a hint of furtiveness.

"I'm talking to Mr. Liu and others in the cabinet." Lu Yunqi said.

The Xian Wang's eyes lit up, but he only opened them a little.

"Great." He said, "Does the Jin Man want to pay me?"

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Yunqi to speak again, he hurriedly walked into the hall and poked his head inward with a smile.

"Your Majesty," he shouted.

Lu Yunqi did not stop him and heard the conversation inside being interrupted.

"What are you doing here?" the emperor shouted angrily.

The wise king was not frightened by the emperor's attitude and walked in with a smile.

"Your Majesty, when will the Jin people give me the money?" he asked.

The emperor glared.

"You know money." He said, looking at him, what came to mind, "What are you going to the Queen Mother for? Do you want money again?"

The wise king sat down in front of the emperor and waved casually to the ministers who were saluting him.

"No." He shouted with an aggrieved look, "Now that the country is at war, the ladies have reduced their expenses. How can I come to ask for money from the ladies?"

The emperor sighed and looked at the ministers.

"Things that I didn't understand in the past are now understood now." He said with a bit of helplessness, "Everyone used to explain things rationally, but now they are still making trouble with me."

This naturally refers to Duke Cheng Guo.

The ministers nodded one after another.

"So the Jin people are very angry now." A minister continued, "Asking whether we have sincere peace talks, if not, forget it..."

Forget it, the fight naturally continued. The emperor suddenly became nervous. Just as he was about to speak, the wise king leaned forward and spoke first.

"I heard that it was the soldiers and horses from Hejian Prefecture who escorted the people southward in Bazhou and other places." He said, gesticulating with his hands and feet, "beating the Jin people and fleeing."

The ministers nodded.

"Yes, even though he had already announced a truce, Duke Cheng Guo asked his wife to lead people to mobilize soldiers in the river to act like this. It's really..." they said, shaking their heads with worries on their faces.

The wise king cheered.

"This is a good thing." He clapped his hands and said, "It shows how powerful we are."

Awesome? If you do something awesome, you will become the Duke of the country. If you don't even listen to the emperor's words, it seems that the emperor is a coward.

The ministers looked half smiling but not smiling.

"Okay, when is it now, is it still powerful?" the emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty." The Xian Wang waved his hand and said, "No, when is it now? It's time to negotiate peace. If we are more powerful, it will not make the Jin people more afraid, but the conditions will naturally be more favorable to us..."

He chuckled when he said this and moved closer to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask me to go and talk to the Jinren? Nothing else matters. I want more coins."

This wise king only has money in his eyes.

The emperor snorted.

"It turns out you gave the money to the golden man." He said, "It's really ridiculous."

He said and pressed his forehead.

"Money is not a big deal. The most important thing is the well-being of the country and the peace that the people enjoy." He said, solemnly addressing the ministers, "Tell Huang Cheng that the Jin people are sincere, and we should also be sincere, so we can settle this matter quickly.

Already."

If you are sincere, it will be easier to handle.

The ministers saluted and responded with a yes.

After walking out of the palace, the ministers left chatting and laughing, and the wise king came last with a smile on his hands.

"Master Lu hasn't left yet?" He also greeted Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi lowered his eyes and saluted.

The wise king walked past him, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at the majestic palace.

"The family and country are in good health, and the people are at peace." He murmured, his narrowed eyes slowly widening, revealing a slow mockery.
