Jane Ruocheng
Nan Yan couldn't help but raised her head, last night was in chaos, and she didn't know what was going on with Jian Ruocheng.
As soon as Zhu Feng saw her looking towards the door, he immediately frowned.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Let him in."
Ye Zheng hurried out, and after a while, he brought Jian Ruocheng into the tent. As soon as Jian Ruocheng walked in, she saw Nan Yan sitting by the bed for the first time, with a shocked expression on her face.
Zhu Feng's eyes turned colder: "Jian Ruocheng, what's the matter with you?"
Jian Ruocheng hurriedly came back to his senses, and said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, I have come here this time because I have an unfeeling invitation."
"Unfortunately please? What are you going to do?"
"My minister wants to ask the emperor for an order to send an envoy to the camp of the Yue Kingdom."
"What?!"
"What?!"
Both Nan Yan and Ye Zheng couldn't help shouting at the same time.
Both Zhu Feng and Jian Ruocheng glanced at them, Nan Yan came back to her senses, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, while Ye Zheng said worriedly: "Master Jian, are you going to the Yue State Camp? You know what happened last night?" We've only just—"
"I know."
"Then you still dare to go!"
Compared to their nervousness, Jian Ruocheng looked very calm, with only an indifferent smile on his face, turned to Zhu Feng who was frowning at him, and said: "But, it is precisely because last night, the emperor lured the enemy deep and wiped them all out." The troops who came to attack them; afterward, they asked Taining Guards to disguise themselves as Yue soldiers and attack their camp. It was because of this victory that I dared to go to their camp.”
Zhu Feng looked at him for a while, then said, "I understand what you mean."
"..."
"War and peace have always complemented each other. However, if you don't have the ability to win on the battlefield, then there is no way to talk about peace."
"..."
"Only by scaring the enemy on the battlefield and negotiating a peace can we have the confidence and the conditions for negotiation."
"..."
"Xia Houjiu has already been injured this time, and lost two more rounds in a row, losing his vitality. It is the best time to negotiate a peace."
Jian Ruocheng smiled and said, "The emperor is wise."
Zhu Feng said: "But why should I negotiate peace with them?"
Jian Ruocheng's gaze narrowed slightly.
Zhu Feng said: "When I come, I can conquer. Now that I have reached this point, why should I negotiate peace with them?"
"..."
Jian Ruocheng had always kept this faint smile on his face, but at this moment, his expression became serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that our country of Yan has not yet reached the time to go to war with the country of Yue."
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "Don't you think it's not good for us to go to war?"
"It's not good for us or the country of Yue."
"Tell me."
"First of all, the border trade between Yue State and our Yan State is very prosperous. I have estimated these days, especially their raw silk, which almost accounts for more than 40% of our country's needs."
Ye Zheng stood beside him, and nodded at this moment: "Yes."
"..."
"Your Majesty, when you were still in Jinling, you asked me to go out of the palace to investigate. I found that even though His Royal Highness King Jing reported the situation of the war, the raw silk from the Yue Kingdom continued to flow into our country. This is indeed His Highness Prince Jing. Collusion with them. However, it can also be seen from the side that the raw silk of Yue State does account for a large part of our country."
"..."
"And your majesty, don't you still want to expand the trade with the Western Regions and the sea?"
"..."
"Silk is the most important thing."
