Yipin farm, excellent husband

Chapter 388 The Grand Finale (8)
"Your Majesty, this time, I am representing Emperor Chiye to negotiate peace with your country." The envoy said cautiously.

An Yue's expression was startled, as expected!

Li Qingchen is now facing internal and external troubles. If he is forced to do so, he will only be doomed, but if he takes the initiative to seek peace, there will be a glimmer of life. Even if Qingluan disagrees, in the hearts of the people, Qingluan obviously has a feeling of bullying others.

However, this summation is not so simple. Li Qingchen has just ascended the throne, and now he can be said to be alone. Even some nephews and nieces who used to be princes and princesses are already useless. They have neither children nor relatives. They want to send protons Or even a marriage is impossible, and now you want to seek peace without paying any price?It's ridiculous!
Everyone in the room was whispering, but the envoy took out a huge base map from his arms and spread it on the ground, pointing to the ten border cities and said: "My emperor said, as long as Qingluan agrees to a truce, then The emperor is willing to assign these ten cities to Qingluan."

An Yue frowned, ten cities?

Looking down, the ten cities mentioned by the envoy are far away, but the area is indeed not small, and it is indeed an attractive condition to get so many benefits without spending a single soldier.

It's just that, with Li Qingchen's temperament, can he really send him a city so kindly?

"Ten cities? Emperor Chiye is generous, what do you guys think?" The emperor frowned and asked everyone.

If Qingluan still refuses to back down when Chiye Kingdom makes concessions, the common people will undoubtedly feel that Qingluan is greedy and intends to fight, and since Li Qingchen is willing to send these ten cities, there must be something strange in them.

"I feel that Emperor Chiye is very sincere, why not agree to this request for peace..."

"I also think so..."

"I also feel..."

Most of the officials in this court are civil servants, and the civil servants naturally feel that it is best to be stable and calm, not to mention that this decision has brought Qingluan too much benefits, so they will naturally agree very much. Happy.

An Yue always felt something was wrong, and she looked at Ji Yan as if she was watching a play.

Ji Yan has always disliked trifles such as going to court, and he took the initiative to come here today, even with this envoy, there must be his reasons. An Yue thought about it and asked, "Master Ji has been living in the red house all this time. Ye Guo, and your property is spread all over the world, I am afraid that you have some understanding of this city, why don't you tell me about the situation of those ten cities?"

When An Yue opened her mouth, everyone was taken aback.

Even though An Yue is the emperor's teacher, if she really interferes with the affairs of the government, it will make others feel a little uncomfortable.

But at this moment, An Yue's face was very serious, and her burning eyes were so dazzling that people couldn't look directly at her, and no one questioned her question!

A smile flashed across Ji Yan's eyes, and she glanced at her appreciatively. When most people saw these ten cities, they would think that Li Qingchen had no choice but to keep his position. Like these ministers, they would only think that these ten cities This city will be a benefit for nothing, and everyone was happy to see it at the beginning.

He hasn't been in Chiye Kingdom for a long time, but he can be considered tit for tat with Li Qingchen, and the merchant has the most powerful news in the world, so he naturally knows the details of these ten cities.

Ji Yan raised her mouth, straightened her long sleeves as if nothing had happened, and said after a while, "These ten cities... are not bad."

When the envoy heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that the relaxed heart just now has not calmed down, so I heard Ji Yan say again: "It's just a pity...that was before."

"What do you mean?" The emperor was not stupid, he asked quickly.

"Master Ji, don't talk nonsense. Even if these ten cities are not one of the best cities in our Chiye Kingdom, they are still very rich. In addition, it is a border. My emperor is willing to cede these ten cities for the sake of the people. I don't want the people. In the midst of war, I still hope the emperor will learn from you." The envoy was a little flustered, and quickly said righteously.

The corner of An Yue's mouth also curled into a smile. Although the envoy spoke nicely, he obviously lacked confidence. Presumably, there are indeed some problems with these ten cities.

Facing Ji Yan's eyes, An Yue was even more confident. This guy would never do unnecessary things for no reason. He was willing to go to the palace today, but it was impossible just to see the Ninth Prince wearing a dragon robe.

Looking at An Yue, Ji Yan couldn't help feeling a little sour.

However, he is used to being a vagabond, so now he is quite calm. After all, this woman does not belong to him, and has never belonged to him. It is his blessing to be her fiancé in name in this life.

And after such a long time, not only could he not forget this woman, but he missed her more and more, and even owed her his life.

With a shallow sigh, Ji Yan came to his senses and said: "These ten cities were indeed relatively prosperous places, but it is a pity that a pest plague swept through three of them the year before last. Although it was relieved later, but last year there was a drought again. , and although the pest plague was not as severe as the previous year, it has not been eradicated. And almost all my property in these three cities has been looted by those people. Ultimate, I have no choice but to do this bandit thing."

"Master Ji, Lord Ji doesn't know that this year's disaster has been cured, and now there is no pest infestation in those three cities!" The envoy shouted loudly.

Ji Yan looked at the two envoys amusedly, "Of course there is no pest infestation...Because the Chiye court ignored the victims last year and the year before, they only knew how to suppress the victims instead of treating them, so the people in these three cities did not stay. Living, there are no branches and leaves in the city, where is the insect plague?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention An Yue, even Xiling Gui frowned.

These ten cities are relatively remote, and only one of them is adjacent to Qingluan. It was unexpected that such a tragedy would happen.

Generally, unless there is a plague that is extremely difficult to control, the imperial court will not carry out this kind of thing of destroying the city. Only people come in and no one goes out. What the previous emperor of Chiye Kingdom did is really amazing.

"If my guess is correct, these ten cities should be part of the territory under the jurisdiction of Xiling Gui." Xiling Gui whispered in An Yue's ear.

An Yue's eyes dimmed.

No wonder then!

With Li Qingchen's previous abilities, if such a serious insect plague spread, it would definitely bring him great resistance. Therefore, at that time, it should have been suppressed in an extremely cruel and domineering way. inside.

Fortunately, Ji Yan came here today. If she wanted to know what happened in the past two years, it might not be easy. Then she would really think that these ten cities are something good.

There are no survivors in the three cities, such a ruthless thing, I'm afraid even Xilinggui can't do it.
