Reborn Amalgamation

Chapter 128

Beiyi sent envoys to Beijing to negotiate a peace, but their attitude was not what a peace negotiation should have.

As soon as the envoys arrived in Beijing, they put forward the conditions of Beiyi.

First, the three cities of Yuancheng, Liucheng and Yingcheng occupied by the Northern Yi can be returned, but the rest of the occupied places and the cities occupied by the Nanman cannot be returned to Dasheng for the time being.

Second, Dasheng will make further concessions in the border trade with the northern barbarians and the southern barbarians. As for the extent of the concessions, it can be discussed again.

Finally, Beiyi asked Dasheng to marry a princess.

The new emperor did not expressly agree or not, but only said that he would discuss with the courtiers further.

The envoy sent by Beiyi was very understanding, and said that he could give it a little more time, and let the new emperor think about it.

In Chengming Hall.

Xue Ming looked at the new emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really want to agree to the conditions proposed by the Beiyi envoys?"

The new emperor sat leaning against the back of the chair, with a relaxed expression, and echoed: "Naturally, I won't agree to all of them."

Xue Ming asked: "Which one is the emperor going to promise them?"

The new emperor said: "I haven't thought it through yet... But maybe someone will volunteer to make this choice for me..."

Xue Ming was about to ask who it was again, when he heard a rumor from a palace official outside that Princess Yiyang was coming.

He looked at the new emperor again, only to see the new emperor smiled coldly and said, "Look, it's here so soon. It seems that I don't need to bother with this myself."

Xue Ming didn't speak any more, he just bowed silently to the new emperor, and then stepped aside.

Princess Yiyang walked in quickly, then stood still at the bottom of the steps, looked up at the new emperor sitting on the upper seat, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the envoys of Beiyi have proposed some conditions... Your Majesty is going to how to respond?"

The new emperor was still sitting on his seat without moving, he only asked Princess Yiyang: "Then what do you think my sister should do?"

Princess Yiyang clenched her fists and said, "I thought that the emperor would not agree to these conditions!"

The new emperor asked nonchalantly: "Oh? Why does my sister think so?"

Princess Yiyang said: "I can't give half of my great land to others, and I can't give half of my great dignity to them!"

"So I, Dasheng, absolutely cannot agree to such a peace negotiation!"

The new emperor looked at Princess Yiyang, and said with deep meaning: "So my sister thinks this way? I thought my sister was so impassioned because of something else..."

Princess Yiyang frowned and said: "What does the emperor mean?"

The new emperor stood up, looked down at Princess Yiyang, and said, "Don't tell me my sister thinks that I can't agree to this peace negotiation? It's not because in the terms of this peace negotiation, there is a piece of Beiyi asking me to marry a princess and her relatives." Is it?"

"After all, if you can exchange back the border town of Taiping with just one person, it should be a very cost-effective thing, right?"

Princess Yiyang clenched her fists tightly when she heard the words, with disbelief in her eyes, she said, "Did the emperor think so?"

However, the new emperor only thought that Princess Yiyang's expression was acting like this, and he continued, "However, marrying Beiyi is indeed wronging my sister, so I don't intend to let my sister do this."

Princess Yiyang felt uneasy, she asked: "Then... who is the emperor planning to let do this?"

The new emperor looked at Princess Yiyang, and said with a smile, "Sister of the Ministry of War, Gu Zhibai's daughter, should know about her, right?"

Princess Yiyang took a step back, her heart was shaking, and she said in a trembling voice: "You want Gu Wenqing to go?!"

"Why her?! No...she's not a princess, not entitled! You can't..."

"Why not?" The new emperor cut off Princess Yiyang's words, and said, "Why is Second Miss Gu not qualified?"

"Master Gu's father, Miss Gu's grandfather, that Mr. Gu married Princess Mingyi back then."

"In this way, the Gu family can be regarded as related to the royal family."

"In two days' time, I will personally decree to give this Second Miss Gu a title, let her be a legitimate princess, and then marry her to Beiyi in a glorious manner."

"So and so, what does my sister think?"

Princess Yiyang said angrily: "Then why don't you let me go?! Just let me go!!"

The new emperor's eyes became a little colder, and he said: "I said, I love my sister very much, and I don't want my sister to marry Beiyi, did my sister understand clearly?"

"Besides, sister, don't worry too much."

"Second Miss Gu's marriage is settled, and I haven't forgotten about my sister's marriage either—Master Jiang's youngest son, named Jiang Qi, is very nice and good-looking, I think my sister will like him. "

Princess Yiyang heard the words of the new emperor, and felt her heart go cold. She took several steps back, and finally stood still, looked at the new emperor, and suddenly said: "You... ...It turns out that you have already arranged for me..."

"You asked Gu Wenqing to replace me...and you asked me to marry the Jiang family...Actually, these are all things you have planned from the beginning, right?"

"You are afraid that the Jiang family will be divorced from you, so you want to tie the Jiang family with me, don't you? Isn't it?!"

The new emperor said coldly: "Sister thinks too much, I just think Jiang Qi is a very good talent, and my sister should live well if she marries him, that's all."

Eldest Princess Yiyang didn't believe what the new emperor said anymore, she just looked at the new emperor with the same indifference in her eyes, and said: "I promised my father that I will help the emperor well and manage this great prosperity... But it seems that the emperor has grown up now and doesn't need me anymore."

The new emperor also said coldly: "So my sister still remembers what I promised my father before? Then think about it for yourself, have you ever fulfilled one of the words that my sister promised my father?"

"For the sake of Miss Gu, my sister even chose to give up on me... Could it be that when my sister made such a choice, did she forget what she promised her father?"

Princess Yiyang was startled again: "You... know?"

The new emperor said: "What do I know, did my sister abandon me because of Miss Gu Er, or did I know about the personal relationship between you and Miss Gu Er? Hmm?"

Princess Yiyang smiled wryly: "You really know..."

"No wonder, no wonder you made such a decision... Yan'er, so I have always underestimated you..."

The new emperor smiled and said: "Sister, don't blame yourself for this, anyway, you are not the only one who underestimates me?"

"Everyone, everyone underestimates me... I want them to open their eyes and take a good look at who is the one who should be underestimated!"

But the moment the new emperor finished speaking, someone came in from the outside, with a sneer on his lips, looked at the new emperor, and said, "Oh? So does Yan'er still have such an ambition in his heart?"
