As soon as the eldest princess said this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent, and the emperor was silent when he heard the words.
Since the founding of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the country has become rich and powerful, and has never bowed to the Southern Qi. What's more, the emperor once thought that this year Chu Han would lead the Northern Zhou army to capture Yanbei, drive straight into the territory of Southern Qi, step on the land of Southern Qi, and approach the imperial city of Southern Qi. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, it was Bei Zhou who was defeated like a mountain, so that no one would fight and Bei Zhou demanded peace.
As soon as the eldest princess spoke, the prime minister pondered for a moment, then sighed, and listed what the princess who was the speaker had said.
The ministers also came out one after another, echoing what the speaker princess said.
Even though the Northern Zhou Emperor was extremely unwilling and resentful, he had no choice but to nod his head, agreeing with what the Eldest Princess said, and asked, "The Southern Qi has been suppressed by our Northern Zhou for a long time, now we are asking for peace. , will the Emperor of Nanqi agree?"
The eldest princess said, "The situation in Southern Qi is not very peaceful. It has always been quite chaotic. The Emperor of Southern Qi is also worried day and night. Although we have broken down several cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, in my opinion, there are many internal problems in Southern Qi. There is no long-term power, at most half a year In addition, the military of the Southern Qi Dynasty has always been weak. There are only soldiers who attack the city, but no generals who defend the city. Such a huge territory. If we are unable to manage it, there will be riots and even counterattacks. At that time, internal troubles will be like scourges, and it will be disadvantageous for Southern Qi."
The emperor nodded, "According to what the emperor said, Nan Qi will definitely agree to our peace proposal?"
The eldest princess nodded, "If the Southern Qi doesn't seek peace, then we in the Northern Zhou Dynasty will have to fight with all our national strength. At that time, even though I am already old, I will also wear armor to fight, and the emperor will also show the heroic appearance of the past, and the whole country will fight against the Southern Qi. Well, I will never be vulnerable to a single blow in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it will not be easy for the Southern Qi to take over my land in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The emperor nodded.
The eldest princess said again, "The internal troubles and hidden dangers of the Southern Qi Dynasty are hard to get rid of for a while. Now the war depends on the courage and strategy of the Su family father and daughter. There is no long-term preparation, and the food, grass and military pay are not enough to support the fight for several years. But Su Che is a kind-hearted man, and he is a good man." Put the people first before your own people. If the war lasts for a few years, you can imagine how many people in the Southern Qi Dynasty will have to save money. Su Che will definitely not bear to suffer from the war. Therefore, the Su family may be doing this to avenge Yanbei. They are aggressive and aggressive, and now even seizing several cities can be regarded as revenge, as long as I make peace in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I should agree."
The emperor felt reasonable when he heard the words, and asked, "Who do you think is appropriate to send to negotiate a peace?"
The eldest princess scanned the civil and military circles of the court, and said, "I'll go."
The emperor was startled, "Miss Huang, are you going to negotiate a peace?"
The eldest princess nodded, "I want to see Su Che's daughter, what she looks like, and how powerful she is. Chu Han suffered repeated defeats, turned the world around, and put Bei Zhou at a disadvantage now. Except for Rong An who went to the battlefield with her husband back then Princess, it has been so many years since there is no woman worthy of my attention."
When Chu Han was mentioned, the emperor was deeply saddened, and said, "I also want to see her. I heard that she is a young girl in the cardamom age. I never expected that it would make my Northern Zhou Dynasty lose so badly. Su Che has a good daughter."
The eldest princess said, "Your majesty should sit in the middle of the capital. Now that I am in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the morale of the army is not stable. How can you do it if you don't sit in the middle of the court? I just go to negotiate a peace."
The emperor said helplessly, "If that's the case, who will accompany Miss Huang?"
The eldest princess said, "Prime Minister, come with me, and let Nan Qi see my sincerity in Bei Zhou's peace talks."
The prime minister heard the words and said, "The old minister is willing to go with the princess."
The emperor nodded and said, "Then it will be hard work for the prime minister to accompany the imperial sister. Later, I will send a messenger to Fanxi City to deliver the peace agreement, and ask Su Che to stop the war."
The eldest princess nodded.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty unanimously made a resolution. After the ruling was over, the emperor sent a messenger to Fanxi City to deliver the peace agreement, asking Su Che to stop the war. The eldest princess and the prime minister packed up their preparations, and then set off to the front line.
Northern Zhou decided that the Southern Qi would accept the peace negotiation. Just as the Northern Zhou princess expected, Su Fengnuan, Ye Chang, and Su Che were waiting for Northern Zhou to come to negotiate a peace. All three areas in Southern Qi were smeared, but the eastern border was peaceful. However, the King of Xiangjun was a restless man with a lot of schemes behind him. There were no perfect conditions in the Southern Qi to allow him to go straight in and fight for three to five years, and took over the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Jiangshan can't do it at all.
In addition to the big problem of food and grass supply, internal troubles are also a big problem. If the war is added to the burden, I am afraid that if the Northern Zhou Dynasty wins the country, it will drag down the Southern Qi Dynasty itself.
Therefore, after the three captured Fanxi City, they did not continue to send troops to advance. While waiting for the peace agreement from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Su Che rushed to the emperor of the capital for 800 miles, and said that the Northern Zhou Dynasty might ask for a peace agreement, and asked the emperor's opinion. At the same time, it also analyzes the current situation in Nanqi.
When the emperor received Su Che's military report, the messenger sent by the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also arrived in Fanxi City.
Victories were repeatedly reported in the Western Region. The emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty was in a good mood, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also in a good mood. Some people even suggested that General Su seize the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.
After the emperor finished reading Su Che's letter, he read the letter jointly written by Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang together with the official document. Compared with Su Che's, the two of them spoke more impolitely, and their sentences were casual, but their sentences were sharp and kind. edge.
The emperor shook his head while watching, thinking that these two people are really a perfect match, a match made in heaven, even to write a letter to him, you have to write it sentence by sentence, it is not written by one person, it is obviously given to him Writing letters is regarded as a pastime, and I am playing while writing.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good, so good that as the king of a country, he is a little bit emotional and jealous. He has never had such a childhood sweetheart. Although he is an emperor, he also has many regrets.
The emperor also felt that it was not appropriate for the Southern Qi to advance further, and he should accept the peace talks from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because the Northern Zhou Dynasty had not yet sent anyone to negotiate a peace agreement, the emperor did not make any public announcements, and first summoned Master Wang and Prime Minister Sun to the Imperial Study Room for a private discussion. He also felt that a peace should be negotiated. After agreeing on this, the emperor first suppressed the memorial.
The messenger sent by the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent the letter of peace appeal from the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to Fanxi City and handed it over to Su Che. After reading the letter of peace appeal, Su Che was grateful for the sincerity of the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in seeking peace from the Emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and agreed to suspend the attack on the city. The speech will be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, and the messenger will report back to the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, waiting for the reply of the emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Therefore, the messenger reported Su Che's answer to the capital of Northern Zhou as soon as possible.
A few days later, the Emperor of Southern Qi received Su Che's letter, which was accompanied by a peace negotiation letter sent by a courier sent by the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After reading it, the emperor called a group of ministers to discuss the matter.
Throughout the dynasties, there were many radicals, including those in the Southern Qi Dynasty. They felt that General Su, Miss Su, and Ye Shizi had won several cities in a row. Let the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty submit to the Southern Qi Dynasty and take over the land of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He should not have promised the Northern Zhou Dynasty to negotiate a peace at such a high morale and combat effectiveness, and missed the golden opportunity.
Before Master Wang and Prime Minister Sun spoke, Xu Yunchu said calmly, "I have never been prepared to raise troops in the Southern Qi Dynasty. Now General Su is raising troops in the western region and has captured several cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop. In a few days, after counting, it will only be enough for our army for half a year. If the Northern Zhou Dynasty resists with all its strength and resists desperately, the war will not only last for half a year, maybe a few years. At that time, what will we use to fight the Northern Zhou Dynasty? My lord, Do you provide food, grass and military pay?"
The man choked, and immediately had no words to refute.
Grand Master Wang agreed with Xu Yunchu's words, "Uncle Xiaoguo is right, and I also advocate agreeing to the Northern Zhou peace talks."
Prime Minister Sun also came out to second the proposal.
Once the two of them seconded the proposal, the civil and military officials thought it would be more beneficial to negotiate a peace. If it really takes three to five years, let alone the common people can't bear it, they can't bear it if they cut down on food and clothing. They also appeared one after another and followed the second proposal.
Seeing that there was no objection, the emperor immediately made a decision and agreed to the peace talks in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned that Yanbei, Xijing, and Jiangnan were smeared and the follow-up recovery was one of the reasons why they could no longer continue to attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The heart of the minister is also the second reason. The peace negotiation was finalized with Xu Yunchu taking food and military pay.
After agreeing to negotiate a peace, they will choose someone to negotiate with Bei Zhou. Since Bei Zhou took the initiative to seek peace, it is natural to cede land and pay compensation.
The people sent by the Northern Zhou Dynasty to negotiate peace were the eldest princess and the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had been involved in politics for many years and were deeply respected by the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Wang Lu went out and suggested, "If people are dispatched from the central government to negotiate a peace, it will be very inconvenient due to the heavy snow and cold weather. The old minister suggested that Ye Shizi and my granddaughter Su Fengnuan be ordered to join the Northern Zhou Princess and the Prime Minister. Negotiation is enough. Su Che is the son-in-law of an old official. The old official understands him. He is too upright. He is good at raising troops and fighting, but he is not good at negotiating. Ye Shizi was born in Rong'an Palace. He is a descendant of the royal family and is deeply loved by the emperor. Negotiated with Bei Zhou. There is no need to send another person."
Prime Minister Sun concurred, "The veteran also thinks what Master Wang said is very true. Ye Shizi and Miss Su are in the army. General Su has won several cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Ye Shizi and Miss Su have contributed a lot. Both of them are smart people , will definitely strive for the greatest benefit for me, Nan Qi."
Xu Yunchu also agreed, "I agree with the words of Wang Dashi and the prime minister, and I also think that the two are the most suitable."
The three of them all proposed Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang. After thinking about it, Ye Shizi from Rong An's mansion and the lady from General Su's mansion are really the most suitable people. Princess Chang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not get the slightest benefit from the prime minister.
So everyone seconded.
As the negotiators of Nan Qi, Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang made an agreement. On the same day, the emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering people to send them to Fanxi City quickly. With regard to the peace talks in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the two have full power to negotiate.
