Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 26
"Report, hurry up to [-] li in Suzhou!"

"Bring it up!"

The first time Emperor Yongxi saw the battle report, his eyes suddenly felt dark. Marquis Wu'an rushed forward greedily, and wanted to use the method of besieging Wei and saving Zhao to rescue the siege of Ningzhou, an important southeast town. The south bank of the river was defeated, with only [-] of the [-] troops, retreating to Suzhou City.

Less than 2 of the 1 Beiya imperial guards died in battle, and less than [-] remained, and only half of them can fight now.

There are a total of [-] troops in Suzhou City. Except for the defeated coalition forces, the rest are the Suzhou Guards, even if the warriors in the city are temporarily recruited to join the army.

In the end, there were only 10 people. It is hard to say how much combat power these 10 people can have.

Moreover, facing the siege of nearly 30 troops from Southern Chu...

Emperor Yongxi really wanted to catch Marquis of Wu'an Pei Hao in front of him, and slapped him fiercely, in order to let him stabilize the battle in the southeast, and not let him confront the majestic Southern Chu army head-on.

This is good, Yangzhou is lost, Suzhou may also fall, the important town of Ningzhou is lost, the three towns are lost, the army of Southern Chu is flat, and Luojing is in danger.

Day after day they talked about going south to destroy Chu and unify China, but in the end they were beaten to their own land first, and they retreated steadily.

"Pass down the decree, Yan Zhengliang, the general of Youweiwei, will take over the post of Marquis Wu'an's Dongnan Road Marching Chief, clean up the soldiers and horses, and stick to Suzhou, waiting for rescue!" Emperor Yongxi ordered.

"Your Majesty, how should Marquis Wu An deal with it?" Zhong Shu Ling Lu Qian asked.

"Make the first-class Marquis of Wu'an the third-class marquis, and order him to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds before the battle." After calming down, Emperor Yongxi spoke out how to deal with Pei Hao, Marquis of Wu'an.

The title was lowered, and he was allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Compared with the consequences of his defeat, this punishment is indeed light, but Marquis Wu'an is his man after all. It will not be a first-class marquis.

This Marquis of Wu'an is still a second-rank Wuzong. He came from the Pei family of a family of generals. The interests behind it are very complicated. No matter how angry Emperor Yongxi is, he can't act on his will and cut him off directly!
The news of Suzhou's defeat quickly spread throughout Luojing. Although Suzhou and Luojing were separated by more than 2000 kilometers, it inevitably cast a shadow over Luojing, who was approaching the end of the year.

Moreover, there are many Luochuan children in the imperial army, and many families in Luojing have sons or husbands serving in the imperial army, and this time there are many people who went out with the army.

For the families of this group of soldiers, the news that they were defeated on the battlefield and suffered heavy casualties, especially the news that two-thirds of them died in battle, was like a bolt from the blue.

Although the list of those killed in battle is not yet known, any dead soldier who falls on the head of a family is a terrible news.

There are also people in Tonggu Lane serving in the imperial army, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive among the allied forces heading to the southeast this time.

There is another person that Lu Qian did not mention, and that is the third prince Ye Yuan who is the supervisor of the army. It's not that he can't mention it, but he dare not mention it.

Emperor Yongxi has never established a crown prince, so he naturally learned from the previous lessons. The third prince, Ye Yuan, has enough talent and talent, so he is a more promising candidate.

This time following the past, it is to accumulate qualifications and military merits.

……

"Prime Minister Zuo, Great Zhou has lost again!" Shang Chen excitedly brought a battle report to Alehai's study, obviously this news was good news for Xi Rong.

"The wolf master came to Yingxin and agreed to the conditions proposed by Dazhou, and when the time is right, he will come to Dazhou to marry Princess Liuli in spring tomorrow!" Alehai got up and said.

"The wolf lord agreed?" Shang Chen was very surprised. Although the conditions proposed by Da Zhou may not have much binding force, if the wolf lord agrees, Da Zhou will definitely announce it to the world.

Breaking one's trust may not have much consequences for ordinary people, but for a monarch, the harm is huge.

Moreover, it took so long for Lord Wolf to reply, it was obvious that there was a lot of resistance within Xi Rong to the marriage conditions proposed by Da Zhou this time.

Even from the very beginning, Xi Rong had opposed the marriage with Da Zhou, but the wolf lord suppressed it with his prestige.

If you just marry a princess of Dazhou to satisfy the wolf lord's inner desire, it's fine, but if you want to make the princess of Dazhou the wolf queen, and the male offspring as the son of Xirong, I'm afraid the nobles of Xirong will strongly oppose it. Especially the sons of the wolf lord.

They have been competing for so many years, and now they suddenly come to a direct position, they and the forces behind them will not agree.

"Well, it's a secret letter written by Lord Wolf himself. You can understand after reading it yourself." Alehai handed Shang Chen a piece of sheepskin and said.

Shang Chen took the sheepskin solemnly, bowed his head and began to read carefully.

The writing on the wolf skin is in Xirong language, and it is a secret language, only those who understand Xirong secret language can understand it. Even if the eagle letter is intercepted, it cannot be deciphered and its content is known.

This is one way to keep communications private.

"Prime Minister Zuo, Da Zhou's defeat is the time when we are negotiating terms with them, why should we agree to their terms?" Shang Chen asked puzzled.

"If His Majesty the Wolf Lord only wants to marry Da Zhou, why should he appoint Princess Liuli?" Alehai, as the confidant of the Xirong Wolf Lord Xin Li, naturally knew some secrets.

Shang Chen's body shook slightly, he was able to be sent to Luojing all year round as the deputy envoy of the mission, and his political sensitivity was definitely not low.

He is well aware of the situation in Xirong's country. The situation in Xirong is similar to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xirong also has Liuli Temple, a sacred place of martial arts.

Moreover, the penetration and control of Xirong's country is far from what Tianlanzong did to Da Zhou.

Liuli Temple is a sacred place of Buddhism, which combines Buddhism and martial arts. It is different from Tianlan Sect. It is not only a holy place of martial arts, but also has religious attributes.

Therefore, there will inevitably be conflicts between secular power and religious power.

The wolf lord actually wants to introduce Tianlanzong to Xirong, can this Liuli Temple bear it?It can't be explained clearly just because there is a "Liuli" in Ye Liuli's name.

Who in the world is smarter than those bald guys who don't need to grow their hair?
Of course, Liuli Temple also has ambitions. They have always wanted to preach in the Middle Earth. Unfortunately, the Middle Earth Martial Arts has a sacred place like the Tianlan Sect, and there are many first-class martial arts sects. They don't come here whenever they want.

He failed several times to go east, and returned to Xirong in despair.

The wolf lord actually persuaded those old bald men in Liuli Temple. I really don't know how much profit he gave in exchange?
This deep-seated thing can only be felt, not expressed in words.

……

"Madam Su, how is your packing going?" In Yu Ning Palace, Ye Liuli and Madam Su were packing up for the move. After entering the Nanya Office, they changed their identities, so it is not appropriate to live in the imperial city.

Moreover, it is not free to enter and leave the imperial city, and it is not convenient for her future work.

So I have to move out, and this idea is not a day or two, it's just that I haven't found a suitable reason before.

And now, there is.

Although Ye Liuli was named a princess, she didn't have a princess mansion outside the palace, nor did she have a private property of her own. It can be said that she was the poorest princess in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After returning to Luojing, she has been living in the imperial city. Emperor Yongxi placed her in Yuning Palace, which also meant to put her under his nose so that she could be seen.

After all, this is the daughter of the former prince. Although she is a princess, she will not seek to usurp the throne, but it has only been more than ten years, and there are still many officials in the court who have the former prince in their hearts.

He really wanted to kill them all, but the problem was that he, the emperor, could not do whatever he wanted, otherwise, he wouldn't have held his nose and canonized Ye Liuli back then.

If he doesn't canonize, Ye Liuli will completely sever ties with the royal family, and she will be a member of the Tianlan Sect from now on. You must know that if it weren't for the relationship between the former prince and the Tianlan Sect, there is a force in the Tianlan Sect who is unwilling to intervene in the secular world. Power, otherwise the coup d'état back then, I really don't know who would win it.

He canonized Ye Liuli. On the one hand, he knew that he had no way to eradicate the roots. On the other hand, he also wanted to ease the relationship with Tianlanzong. In addition, he wanted to put a bond on Ye Liuli.

These are also the conditions for Tianlanzong to take Ye Liuli away.

A little girl who was only seven or eight years old didn't know what happened back then, but Ye Liuli had suffered a lot since she was a child, and she knew the source of her suffering very early on, so she was very concerned about the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the emperor's uncle Yongxi. Not cold at all.

"But, Your Highness, we haven't found a place to live yet?"

"Are all the inns in Luojing City full?" Ye Liuli said, "If it's not possible, let's live in Nanya directly, there are many empty yards there, as a counselor, my rank should be enough."

"what……"

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation
