Chapter 660

In the evening, Tang Yin summoned several important ministers to his study to discuss the matter of negotiating peace with Ningguo TXT download.

During the last peace negotiation, Qiu Zhen's opinion was "We must not agree to it." But this time, Qiu Zhen's attitude made a 180-degree turn and said to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty should agree to the peace negotiation."

"Why?" Tang Yin asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty welcomes the emperor into the wind, which has offended the two powerful countries of Sichuan and Zhen. Although the two countries' coalition forces dare to attack now, it does not mean that they will not dare to attack in the future. Therefore, your Majesty should agree to negotiate peace, accept the peace, and first stabilize our country and Ningguo. After that, we can make other deployments," Qiu Zhense said.

The other ministers nodded while listening, feeling that what Qiu Zhen said made sense.

Tang Yin did not continue, but changed the topic and asked with a smile: "Qiu Zhen, I heard that you have been having a private meeting with Princess Ningguo this afternoon! Could it be that you are attracted to the princess?"

Qiu Zhen was shocked, but his face remained calm. He said matter-of-factly: "First of all, I was ordered by the king to settle the princess, familiarize her with the environment of the palace, and arrange her food, clothing, housing and transportation. This is all due to me. It should be done. Secondly, the princess wants to marry the king, not the minister. I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts, let alone be tempted. "

"Really?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in a funny way. If you don't have ghosts in your heart, you will really see ghosts! How could he not understand Qiu Zhen's personality after having been with Qiu Zhen for so long? If he didn't have that thought, he would just sneer at his own questions, and he wouldn't be so verbose as to list one, two, and three.

It turns out that Qiu Zhen is not a saint, and there are times when he is moved by ordinary people! The more Tang Yin thought about it, the more funny he found it. Qiu Zhen always caused trouble for him in the past, but now if he didn't use Yan Yinghan to make things difficult for him, he would really be sorry for himself.

Thinking of this, Tang Yin was in a good mood.

"Alas!" He sighed softly and said, "All the ministers in the dynasty are married, have wives and concubines, but Prime Minister Qiu is still alone, which really makes me worried! Originally, I had intended to marry the princess. Give it to Mr. Qiu..."

ah? When Qiu Zhen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Tang Yin without blinking. Could it be that the king was not joking in the court this morning, but really wanted to betroth Yan Yinghan to himself? ! His heart began to beat faster, and blood rushed to his head.

Looking at his eager look, Tang Yin almost laughed out loud, but he immediately held it back and added with a long sigh: "Everyone should also know that our country's biggest enemy is not the Sichuan Kingdom, let alone the Zhen Kingdom, but the recent one." In Ningguo, which is just around the corner, if I promise Princess Ningguo to Prime Minister Qiu, I am really afraid that Prime Minister Qiu will feel pity for Ningguo and his attitude will change!"

Tang Yin was not joking, but he really had such concerns. Qiu Zhen was the person he trusted the most. If he wanted to consider things from Ning Guo's point of view and make suggestions for himself, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qiu Zhen stirred up a shiver. Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed forward and said: "The king has killed a humble minister! I have already made an oath, even if I am shattered to pieces for the king or the strong wind, I will not hesitate." . If I have two minds and two minds, may the sky strike me with thunder and die without a burial place!"

Hearing this, Tang Yin and the surrounding ministers were all moved. People bowed their hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, Qiu is very loyal to your Majesty. Heaven and earth can learn from it!"

Tang Yin stood up, walked to Qiu Zhen, helped him up, then grinned and said with a smile: "Qiu Zhen, why are you nervous? I just have such concerns, and I didn't say you would really do this." After a pause, he shrugged, pretending to be helpless and said: "In order to dispel my doubts, I can't give the princess to you, so I'd better accept it reluctantly."

flutter! Qiu Zhen almost vomited blood on the spot. The king made a lot of remarks, but he didn't say anything.

He frowned and asked, "I wonder, what title does the king want to give the princess?"

"What title..." Tang Yin held his chin and thought for a long time, then asked: "Zongyuan, according to the rules, how is the monarch's harem divided?"

Zong Yuan smiled and cupped his hands and said: "One queen, three ladies, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one queens."

Tang Yin made a sound and said casually: "Then let's return the princess to the Eighty-one Female Royal Family!"

Qiu Zhen's eyebrows were about to turn into knots, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, let a majestic princess be the female emperor, this... is not appropriate?!"

Tang Yin smiled, looked at Qiu Zhen, and said slowly: "For me, letting Princess Ning Guo be my concubine is considered a compliment to her!"

"..." Qiu Zhen was silent, with a sigh in his heart.

Looking at his distracted look, Tang Yin found it even more interesting and deliberately whetted Qiu Zhen's appetite. He stopped talking about the matter, sat back on the cave, spread the peace treaty on the table, and then waved to the ministers. He waved and said, "Everyone, come and sit down and see if there is anything that needs to be modified in this peace treaty."

Shangguan Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, this peace treaty only states that Ningguo will cede Hedong County to our country. The ministers here think it is inappropriate."

"oh?"

"Wei Chen feels that Ning Guo should be allowed to publicly admit that Hedong County is the territory of our Feng State and we will never infringe upon it in the future."

"Yes! That makes sense." Tang Yin picked up his pen and drew a circle where Shangguan Yuanji said it.

Zhang Zhe continued: "As for the compensation, Ning Guo should still have room for it. The king does not need to add more gold and silver. He only needs to ask for 5,000 more horses and 10,000 cattle and sheep each!"

War horses, cattle, and sheep were all in short supply in Feng Country. Tang Yin nodded while listening and drew another circle on the peace treaty.

After everyone's suggestions and additions, the peace treaty was filled with circles.

When the discussion came to the end, everyone checked it again and confirmed that it was correct. Then they finalized the peace treaty and entrusted Zhang Han to discuss it in detail with Dahonglu Hongluo of Ningguo.

Zhang Han is a bachelor of the Feng Kingdom. Although he is only in his early forties, he is knowledgeable and has a thorough understanding of ancient and modern times. He is also quick-thinking and eloquent. The most important thing is that he is unassuming, affable and polite. There was no trace of the sour taste of a scholar, nor the airs of a first-class official. This was what Tang Yin liked the most. He felt that it was most appropriate for Zhang Han to negotiate peace between the two countries with Hong Luo.

After explaining to Zhang Han, Tang Yin said to Zhang Xin, the governor of Su Nei: "Zhang Xin, tomorrow you go to Hedong County in person and carefully examine the annual grain harvest there. From now on, my grain will mainly come from Hedong. We don’t want loopholes and bugs there, so you can’t be careless when checking!”

Zhang Xin is one of the few veterans of the Feng Kingdom in the imperial court. He is smooth and duplicitous, and has gradually gained Tang Yin's trust. Although he is not a very good person, he still has real talents and learning. He has served as the governor of Feng State for so many years. He has rich experience and cannot tolerate criticism in his eyes.

He bowed to Tang Yinshen respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will check the grain production of Hedong County clearly and clearly, so that Your Majesty won't lose a grain of grain!"

Zhang Xin is good at playing into people's favour. He knows that the most important thing for Tang Yin is grain production. This time he is allowed to go to Hedong County for review, which also shows his trust in him. He was full of energy and prepared to go to Hedong for a big fight to further win the king's favor. In addition, the court ministers were ordered to go there, and there were also many benefits to be gained from it.

After discussing all the important matters, Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered the affairs of Lingwu Academy and asked Qiu Zhen, "Qiu Zhen, how are things going at Lingwu Academy?"

Qiu Zhen cupped his hands and replied: "Weichen has chosen the address of the academy. It is in Dongcheng, not far from the palace. As for the teachers who will teach the art, Weichen wants to select it from the army."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "After you decide on the final candidate, show me the list."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Tang Yin looked around at everyone and suddenly remembered something. He asked, "Do you know the doctor, Ling Mengtian?"

Everyone was stunned and didn't understand why the king asked this. People nodded and said, "I know."

Tang Yin's eyes narrowed and he said quietly: "What do you think if we get rid of this person?"

I don’t know how Montaigne offended the king. Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to answer.

Not speaking at this time is tantamount to disapproval. Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think it's inappropriate?"

Qiu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, Montaigne is the son of Munro and has a special status. On what charge does your Majesty want to put him to death?"

What crime? Tang Yin really didn't know what crime he could accuse Montaigne of. This person is too dogmatic and knows how to act by the rules. It is not easy to get hold of him.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Should this matter be handled by Hidden Arrow?"

To use hidden arrows is to do a shady assassination. The ministers' brows frowned even more tightly.

Shangguan Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, the emperor has just settled down in Yancheng, and suddenly a minister was killed. Isn't this too blatant? It's easy to follow the truth!"

Tang Yin frowned and waved his hand: "Don't reason with me. I understand all the truth. That's why I'm discussing with you how to get rid of this guy without leaving any trouble!"

All the ministers were speechless again.

In the end, Shangguan Yuanji said: "There is no way, unless he makes a mistake himself. If there is any grudge between the king and Montaigne, I hope the king can endure this period of time. He is really too sensitive now."

Saying it means not saying it. Tang Yin waved his hands distractedly and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. If nothing happens, you all can go back!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! Please leave!" Seeing that Your Majesty did not have his own way, everyone sighed and exited the study one after another.

After the ministers left, Tang Yin called Shangguan Yuanwu and asked him to find Cheng Jin.

Not long after, Cheng Jin walked into the study and saluted Tang Yin: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Tang Yin really wanted to give Cheng Jin a secret order to quietly solve Montaigne's trouble, but he also knew that the ministers' concerns were not unreasonable, and he could not act arbitrarily now. He asked: "Where is Yuan Ziyi detained by you?"
