Chapter 168

Zhou Leping believed her lies for the time being, but she always looked at the princess's hand when she was free. Princess Huiyue was so guilty that she tucked her hand in her sleeve and never took it up again.

After dinner, the princess went back to have a rest. Zhu GuanLiang took a walk and ate. When she went outside Zhou Leping's tent, she saw that the light was still on inside. She turned her feet, opened the tent and went in.

Zhou Leping dozed off leaning on his head. Suddenly, he was awakened by a light and slow step. He immediately opened his eyes and subconsciously grasped the Chixiao sword beside the tight body. When he saw Zhu GuanLiang, he relaxed and stretched out, "how did you come in?"

"Look, the light is still on in the general's tent, so come in and have a look."

"It's getting late. Go back and have a rest."

He did not hear like, impolitely to find a place to sit down, "Huiyue princess does not look like an ordinary person."

Zhou Leping yawned again. "Of course, she is not an ordinary person. Look at her hands. They are martial arts hands. A person's appearance can be changed, her eyes can be changed, and her living habits can be changed. But her temperament is hard to change. Martial arts practitioners have a fierce murderous spirit. Although she tries to hide it, she doesn't think about who I am, That little trick is not enough for me. "

He said with a proud sigh.

"You can see that the Emperor may not be able to see it. If there is no evidence, why does the emperor believe you?"

"Don't believe me, do you believe an outsider?" She said so, but she knew it in her heart. She stood up and stretched out, and sighed again, "the princess is also very good. She walks carefully every step, and it's not so easy to grasp her handle."

He minran a smile, lips quietly raised and put down, "the emperor how to say?"

"No reply yet."

"In fact, the emperor's meaning is very obvious. Xianyu takes the initiative to submit and sends the princess and relatives. It's a good thing for the emperor. After fighting for so many years, before he leaves, he asks the ministers in the court to donate a lot of military salaries. They are all afraid of fighting. There is a way to solve the problem peacefully without losing money. Of course, he chooses to stop fighting."

"I'm not afraid. What are they afraid of?"

"I don't know how many times you have been impeached by people for being" belligerent "when you sent these two letters back to the capital. Do you really think they are afraid of war?"

Only the strong will be feared, she is now recognized as the strong.

"The emperor is a wise man. He can tell right from wrong."

Zhu GuanLiang stood up, yawned and walked slowly in front of her, "I hope so."

Zhou Leping suddenly felt bottomless in his heart, "what do you mean?"

"The general will soon know."

"You..."

Zhou Leping stepped out, but she didn't step on anyone. The curtain fell and she was left alone in the tent.

Thousands of miles away in the capital, Zhao Shiqian received another letter from Zhou Leping. After reading it, he closed it impatiently.

"Do you think it's OK or not to make peace with each other?"

The emperor already has the answer in his heart. The wise man's way is to follow the emperor's meaning and agree with him.

But some of them had to fight against the emperor.

First, the new minister of Dali temple.

Second, the Minister of punishment.

The third is Zhou Leqi, the elder brother of Zhou Leping, who has just been promoted to minister of rites.

The three never colluded with each other before, but they all disagreed with the marriage for the same reason.

There must be something fishy about Xianyu's sending a princess who she had never heard of before. Zhou Leping is the one who knows Xianyu best. She also said that there is something wrong with it. It must not be so simple. Please think twice before.

Zhao Shiqian pointed to the Minister of the Dali temple and the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, gritting his teeth and laughing, "you two have always been at loggerheads. Now you can refute me with one word. It's really rare."

There was no change in the situation that the two people were not pleased with each other. The Minister of Dali Temple gave the Minister of punishment a glance and said, "emperor, I just think what the general said in the memorial is very reasonable. I hope the emperor will think twice."

The emperor needs a few people who are outspoken and dare to disobey him. They are loyal and harsh to the ear and wake him up from time to time. However, such people don't need more. They don't need to be outspoken all the time. This is not only to add obstacles, but also to make people happy.

For example, he doesn't need to have such an admonishment when he makes peace with his relatives.

Recently, I don't know where the rumor came from. It's said that the emperor's ability to sit firmly on the throne depends on the superior general Zhou Leping. He killed the enemy bravely and fearlessly in front of the battle. After returning to the court, he helped the emperor get rid of Lin Jing, the most treacherous minister in the court.

In a word, Zhao Shiqian's achievements as an Emperor today all depend on Zhou Leping. Without Zhou Leping, he would not have today.

Others praised Zhou Leping and Zhao Shiqian.

However, the biggest taboo of being an official in the court is that the high achievers are superior to the masters.

The world only knows her now. Zhou Leping doesn't know that there is an emperor. If she goes on like this, isn't it against her?

Although Zhou Leping is indeed a meritorious minister, and she does have a lot of credit for his being the Emperor today, the emperor is not a waste, and it is not impossible without Zhou Leping.

He thought that what she said in the last reply was clear enough, but she didn't understand, and she wrote another letter to persuade him. What's wrong with that Xianyu princess? She came to the state of Zhao, entered his harem, and became his man. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't turn out anything. What's more, it's good for the country and the people to make peace with each other. You don't have to spend a single soldier to subdue Xianyu. After that, you can pay tribute every year, which is not as comfortable as fighting every year? At first, the court officials said that Zhou Leping was belligerent, and he spoke for her. Now it seems that he is indeed a combative. But where did the court get so much money to make her kill people? The Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment was not willing to show weakness. When the Minister of Dali Temple finished, he had to admonish him again. "Please think twice" was still in his mouth. Zhao Shiqian slapped the table and stood up, "there's no need to discuss this matter any more. He told Zhou Leping to send someone to escort the princess to Beijing immediately."“ The Emperor... "Zhou Leqi didn't even have a chance to open her mouth. The emperor left behind, leaving all the ministers with an angry back. The imperial edict was sent to Zhou Leping again. When Zhou Leping saw the emperor's reply, he couldn't make any response. Zhu GuanLiang didn't look at the content. He just looked at her face and knew what was written on it. As expected, it was the same as what he had guessed. Qi Si asked, "general, what did the emperor say?" Qi Miao twisted his eyebrows and said, "is it difficult to reject it again?" Zhou Leping closed the document and sighed in silence for a moment, "Qi Miao, I've ordered you to escort the princess to Beijing. You must protect the princess early tomorrow morning. Don't neglect her!" Qi Si scolded Sheng Niang and split the table with one hand. "What do you think of the emperor's foundation? The princess has a problem when she looks at it. It makes people send her to Beijing. Is it crazy to think about women
