The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

After a while, Prime Minister Gu seemed to have made up his mind, as if he had aged ten years: "Let's take the lead and donate as much material as possible to see how the merchants react. If they don't cooperate with the court, we will pick a group of people to confiscate their homes and set an example." , and then collect food from the people as appropriate."

The merchants and gentry must have food in their homes. The more they donated, the less food the court needed from the people.

Even Prime Minister Gu spoke, and the courtiers were a little unhappy, so they had no choice but to agree.

There was a charter in the southwest, and Prime Minister Gu added: "As for South Vietnam, the Vietnamese people are a large tribe formed by barbarians who migrated south. Since ancient times, the people have been strong and strong, and they have been the overlords dominating the southeastern coast. When they were in their heyday, their national power was not inferior to that of the Southern Dynasty. At the end of the Yu Dynasty, the Yue people invaded the south. The Qi family, who was far away in Jingzhou, took their people south to fight against the Yue people. Later, they helped Taizu establish a political power in the Southern Dynasty. Then the imperial court set up a defense line in Dengzhou, ordered Donghai Marquis to guard it, and set up a defense line in Lingnan. The Qi family has been guarding the line of defense for generations, thus blocking the southern invasion of South Vietnam."

This shows how great a threat South Vietnam poses to the Southern Dynasties.

All the emperors of the Southern Dynasties did not want to pacify South Vietnam and complete the unification of the south, and the eldest princess did all this.

Whether it was the pacification of the Southwest or the pacification of South Vietnam, all of this was advocated by the late emperor and led by the eldest princess, and had nothing to do with Emperor Nan Xiao.

"South Vietnam and the Southern Dynasty have been at war for generations. It is the hatred between the country and the family that has been accumulated for generations." Gu Xiang lowered his eyes and paused, "Now that South Vietnam is destroyed, the Vietnamese people have succumbed to the power of the Southern Dynasty. They are not sincerely surrendering, and riots will happen sooner or later. The incident is indeed not the fault of General Hussar. Your Majesty will issue an order to clear up the name of General Hussar and appease the morale of the army. The people of Vietnam will have to reconsider the court's support for General Hussar."

He knew very well that it was because of the Northern Expedition that the imperial court showed its decline, which led to large-scale riots among the Vietnamese people.

With millions of Vietnamese people and millions of soldiers, General Piao Xiao's pressure in South Vietnam was no less than that of General Zhengnan.

At present, the support that the imperial court can provide is very limited, so they can only think of ways to try not to hinder the general Hussars.

The courtiers lowered their heads, like gourds with their mouths sawed off.

Before, they all accused the hussar generals of being crazy and killing too much. But now they feel that the hussar generals killed too little, which is why the Yue people gathered in force and broke out in riots, just like when Li Jing destroyed the Turks and annihilated the Turks. The country will exterminate all descendants of its race.

Emperor Nan Xiao was not happy, but he couldn't tell whether these words came from the mouth of Prime Minister Gu, or whether he was reluctant to do so: "I just rely on Prime Minister Gu's opinion."

There was a charter in South Vietnam, and Prime Minister Gu pondered for a moment: "I remember that when Emperor Guang He came to the Southern Dynasty to be a hostage last year, he had a very good relationship with the eldest princess. The eldest princess always treated others with courtesy and never looked down upon the other person because of his status. As for people, when Emperor Guanghe was in the Southern Dynasties, he was once treated with courtesy by the eldest princess."

"This time, the Southern Dynasty offended the Jiang Dynasty, so they asked the eldest princess to come forward and negotiate with the Jiang Dynasty on behalf of the imperial court. Whether it is compensation, ceding the city, or sending hostages, as long as it is within the tolerance of the Southern Dynasty, everything can be negotiated. "

After saying these words, all the strength in Gu Xiang's body seemed to have been drained. They did not hesitate to go to the north just to contain the Qi family and suppress the eldest princess. Who would have thought that the northern expedition would end in a disastrous defeat, and he would actually let the eldest princess return to the throne in person? Return to the court.

But now, we can't just watch Emperor Guanghe's army invade the Southern Dynasties.

Emperor Guanghe captured the Southern Dynasty, and they did not end up in the aftermath.

Compared to this, what does being suppressed by the eldest princess mean?
  The ministers, who had looked depressed just now, couldn't help but cheer up, as if once the eldest princess took action, there was nothing she couldn't handle.

The courtiers all agreed.

Emperor Nan Xiao suddenly thought that when Emperor Guang He was a hostage in the Southern Dynasty, he not only had some friendship with the eldest princess, but also had a pretty good relationship with him.

After the Flower Appreciation Festival, he and Ji Ruxuan had a "stinky" affinity, and they often got together to eat flowers and have fun. He selfishly thought that his friendship with Emperor Guanghe was better than the face-saving friendship between the eldest princess and Emperor Guanghe.

He quickly stood up: "The eldest princess is seriously ill, so I won't ask her to come forward in this matter..." Prime Minister Gu frowned, knowing that Emperor Nan Xiao was afraid of the eldest princess and did not want the eldest princess to take the opportunity to perform meritorious service and return to the court. He is in control of the government and is about to speak out to persuade him.

Emperor Nan Xiao changed the topic and said: "I almost forgot that I had a good personal relationship with Emperor Guanghe. I first compiled a letter and tried to negotiate with Emperor Guanghe. As the emperor, I revised the book myself. It better reflects our sincerity in the Southern Dynasty’s desire to restore old friendship with the Jiang Dynasty.”

Xiang Gu thought about it carefully and thought it would work.

"Prince Rongjun" did have a good relationship with Proton at the beginning. "Prince Rongjun" later held many banquets and invited Proton to them, and treated Proton very politely.

In terms of friendship, perhaps the friendship between His Majesty and Emperor Guanghe is even greater than that between the eldest princess.

but!

"Your Majesty's words make sense," Gu Xianglue hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just thought..."

Emperor Nan Xiao interrupted him: "Then let's do this first!"

The courtiers were a little surprised and felt that something was wrong.

Prime Minister Gu opened his mouth, but could not speak for a moment.

He selfishly thought that the war between the two countries was a major matter, and personal relations were secondary. Emperor Nan Xiao was too stubborn to achieve anything, and it was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. With Emperor Nan Xiao's ability, he really could not take on such a big responsibility. If it goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

On the other hand, the eldest princess not only cares about her family and country, but also has enough strategy, courage, and courage to take on this task. It is most appropriate to leave it to the eldest princess to negotiate the matter with the country.

Looking at both inside and outside the court, if there is one person who can protect Zuo of the Southern Dynasty, that person must be the eldest princess.

But His Majesty has already made a final decision. If he jumps out to object at this time, it is tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face in front of all the civil and military ministers of the court. It is also disrespectful to the emperor.

Forget it, I'll let Doctor Huang persuade His Majesty later.

After the court was dismissed, Prime Minister Gu hurried back to the palace and immediately looked for the Yushitai. The minister who had a good relationship with the eldest princess in the past sent a message to the eldest princess's palace, intending to discuss with the eldest princess the matter of negotiating with the Jiang Dynasty.

He was worried that Emperor Nan Xiao would go his own way and the ministers would not be able to dissuade him, so he wanted to start with the eldest princess to see if the eldest princess had any suggestions, or if the eldest princess was concerned about the country and the people, she would take the initiative to stand up and try her best to solve this matter. Take it off.

However, Mr. Gu’s calculation was wrong.

On the day the news of the Northern Expedition reached the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest princess was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot. Her condition, which had improved for a while, suddenly took a turn for the worse. She had been bedridden for months. Yu Hengzi moved into the eldest princess's mansion and took care of her personally. The eldest princess.

The imperial doctor said that the condition of the eldest princess was not optimistic.

Prime Minister Gu's expression was not good. Yu Hengzi had said earlier that the eldest princess was closely related to the fate of the country. The current decline of the eldest princess's health seemed to confirm the decline of the fate of the country in the Southern Dynasties.
