Chapter 492: Braking with stillness

Yun Shuxian frowned and looked at the towering but old tall city wall.

Of course he could hear clearly the conversation between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Wenyuan just now.

He also heard a strange smell from it.

He also wanted to know who gave Ning Guo such tough courage!

When he was in Dongxu City, Kyoto of Wu, the emperor was very happy that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Ningguo for negotiations in person, and the ministers also praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the court meeting.

Although this negotiation was not a war, the result of the negotiation was no different from that of a war.

It is even more important than conquering other countries!

Without bloodshed, the Wu Kingdom can expand its territory, and what it takes is the Wuya Pass that poses the greatest threat to the Wu Kingdom.

This achievement is enough to make the Prince's Palace downloaded into history, and also enough to make the entire court stable after His Highness ascended the throne.

Although it seems that this trip is not difficult, His Royal Highness did not despise it, and even attached it very much.

Therefore, the staff of the East Palace made many assumptions about the setbacks they might encounter during this trip—

For example, Wen Zhuiyu is a knowledge of Wu.

Since he became the chief minister of Ningguo's cabinet, he is most likely to be involved in this negotiation.

It is precisely because he understands the Wu Kingdom that he knows better the situation in Ning Kingdom. His attitude should be to be tough at the beginning, then take a little step back, and then... He should be to talk to His Royal Highness about his old feelings, cede Wuyaguan, and let Ning Kingdom's army retreat to the front line of Yudan River.

Back a hundred miles!

The 100-mile land between Wuya Pass and Yudan River is the buffer zone between the two countries.

Ningguo's losses were not too great, but they gave Ningguo a chance to breathe.

Civil strife usually hurts the country's foundation.

Ningguo was already poor, so the regent of the poet, must first stabilize his internal affairs and give Ningguo, who had been harmed by Ji Tai for more than 20 years, the opportunity to recuperate.

The State of Wu has no intention of attacking Ning Kingdom at present.

As long as this boundary is re-defined, the State of Wu can even provide some help to Ning.

Because Ningguo has three other enemies on his face!

The timing of this negotiation has also been carefully considered.

The civil unrest in Ning had just subsided, the emperor of Ningguo passed away, and Ji Tai, a group of officials from all over the country, would be purged.

The Regent was only eighteen years old!

He just held that authority, but he didn't know how to use it.

Behind him was a master who recommended Wen Zhuoyu to him.

But no matter how powerful Wen Zhuoyu is, he doesn’t have three heads and six arms!

It will take at least two years for him to exchange blood for Ningguo's officialdom, so within these two years, he will not be able to spare energy to deal with the frontier war.

What he needs is the word "stability"!

All the staff members of the East Palace analyzed all the thoughts around Wen Zhuoyu.

No one valued the poetic regent Li Chenan!

Even Yun Shuxian is the same -

Things in the court are different from writing poetry and articles!

Li Chenan's achievements in poetry should be the best in the world!

But above governing the country... he is just a ignorant Bai Ding!

It depends on what he introduced to emphasize industry and commerce and then support agriculture, and the hilarious constitution, etc. This is a typical scholar who governs the country.

Think about it all based on the ideal in your mind!

There is no feasible national policy in line with the actual situation of the country.

In addition, for the sake of a woman, he actually left the state affairs that urgently needed to be dealt with!

This is still the performance of the scholar.

After reading too many operas, I feel that the country is not important. I don’t have the people in my heart, but rather his confidante.

Such a person is still the most powerful person in Ningguo...

"I'm thinking about Xi Wei's intention to do this... He threw the Ningguo country to Li Chenan... so high!"

Wu Qian was stunned: "Where is the tall place?"

"The fake Li Chen'an's hand made Ningguo perish!"

"When Xi Wei captured this Yujing City, he did not choose to be the emperor himself. On the one hand, he was probably old and had no children."

"Secondly... His reputation in Ningguo is really not very good. If he becomes the emperor, I'm afraid that many people in Ningguo will stand up and fight him."

"Instead of that, let that poet ascend the throne to the emperor!"

"Li Chenan has a very good reputation and is almost flawless."

"Such people will be supported by the people of Ningguo, and the officials in the court will at least not have strong resistance."

"He doesn't know how to govern the country!"

"It seems that he is still arrogant."

"Although he left Kyoto, it was obvious that the power was not really handed over to Wen Zhuoyu."

"Otherwise, how could it be his uncle Li Wenyuan coming... Li Wenyuan had such an attitude, and he should have given him the face-to-face instruction before leaving Kyoto and asked him to do this."

Wu Qian was shocked for a moment and did not object to the teacher's words. He felt that the situation was not that simple.

He still didn't underestimate Li Chenan!

Because he knows Wen Zhuyu better than Yun Shuxian!

If Li Chenan was so unbearable, he would never have come out of the mountain!

Yu Dingzhi, the Minister of Rites, agreed deeply.

He said angrily: "Ignorance child!"

"He should have stayed in Kyoto and swept his highness to this trip!"

"He actually sent a little Shaoqing to come, which was simply a humiliation to us!"

"Your Highness,"

He bowed and said, "Why don't you go back here... to attack Ningguo!"

Wu Qian smiled slightly, "No hurry, you're here."

"After walking so far, everyone is tired, let's go into the city."

"…and go to Honglu Temple?"

"No, find a better inn and everyone will have a good rest."

"That's the negotiation...?"

Wu Qian waved his hand, "The negotiations are still to be negotiated!"

"But it can't be tomorrow's hour!"

"The negotiation time is decided by the palace!"

He walked towards the carriage and threw it to Yu Ding again: "After you settle down, you go to Ningguo's Ministry of Rites and say... and say that the palace was infected with wind and cold on its way, so we negotiate... and wait until the palace's wind and cold disease is cured!"

...

...

It is of course a big deal that the prince of Wu personally led a delegation to come.

Government Affairs Hall.

Wen Zhuoyu put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Li Wenyuan who was standing bent, and said with a smile:

"Afraid?"

"Afraid!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Wenyuan straightened up: "I'm afraid they will run back, so I'll call you!"

Wen Zhuoyu stood up and walked towards the tea table, "Don't worry, Wu Qian will definitely come into the city!"

“…Why?”

"Because he'll be curious."

"I wonder why we did this to him?"

Wen Zhuoyu sat down and nodded, "He is a very scheming prince. Such people usually think more and are usually not influenced by others' opinions."

"Besides, the purpose of this prince's visit this time is to get a great contribution!"

"I guess if he wins the negotiation this time, after he returns, Emperor Wu may pass the throne to him."

"He won't return without success."

Nian Chengfeng, who was sitting on the side of the tea table, poured a cup of tea for Wen Zhuoyu, looked at Li Wenyuan and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, just prepare for tomorrow's negotiations."

Wen Zhuoyu pondered for a moment, "Well, you need to be prepared. But, based on my understanding of him, he may not be led by us."

"Let's ignore him for now."
