Princess Chang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the prime minister looked at Ye Chang in disbelief. Chu Han is not dead
Princess Chang of Beizhou immediately asked, "Shizi Ye, where do you start with this? We got the news that Chu Han was hunted down and fell into the cliff. The emperor's personal guards have checked it, and it is true."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "Is the prince of Beizhou Zhou so easy to die? Knowing that all the brothers are going to kill him, can he not think ahead of time to save his life? The eldest princess doesn't seem to know the second prince well."
The eldest princess was startled, the Northern Zhou army was defeated, and Chu Han’s death made the emperor mourn, and she mourned too. The Northern Zhou court and people all forgot about Chu Han’s badness, and remembered his goodness. Sure enough, the emperor sent his personal guards to investigate, and they got a positive result. I didn't expect to hear the news that Chu Han was not dead from Ye Chang's mouth today.
She didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment, it's a good thing Chu Han didn't die, but now Ye Chang wants him to go to Nanqi to be a hostage.
Since ancient times, what kind of life did the protons live in other countries? Although the Southern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty have not had any incidents of protons since the two courts resisted the rituals, but there are old rules to follow. Wrapped in a straw mat, it is not human.
The eldest princess loved Chu Han in her heart, and said to Ye Chang, "Ye Shizi, even though Chu Han was not dead, his body was seriously injured earlier, and his life was saved by a miracle doctor, but he has also suffered from a cold since then. Even if we find him He, if he goes to Southern Qi to be the prince, I'm afraid he can't bear it, and something will happen if he doesn't come to Southern Qi, why don't you change someone, and the rest of the princes are fine."
Ye Chang smiled and shook his head, "This son is only watching the second prince's temper, so he must."
The eldest princess looked at Prime Minister Bei Zhou upon hearing this.
The Prime Minister of Bei Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "A city of 200,000 taels, plus the second prince as a hostage, Ye Shizi has stripped me of Bei Zhou. After several months of war in Bei Zhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to get so much money."
Ye Chang said, "If you can't get it out, don't redeem the city. This is the biggest grace. The prime minister is the one who doesn't push himself."
Prime Minister Bei Zhou gritted his teeth, looked at the eldest princess, and said, "Princess, promise!"
Princess Chang of Bei Zhou had no way out, she nodded and gritted her teeth, "I promise."
Ye Chang withdrew his hand briskly, pointing at the princess's sword and retracted it silently. Such a sword was as thin as silk paper, but extremely sharp. After it was unsheathed, countless cold lights appeared. Where did I receive it. All I saw was that he was wearing a white fox fur cloak as white as snow.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang withdrew their hands at the same time. Like Ye Chang, the sword was put into the sheath silently, and she didn't know where she put it. She was wearing a red fox cloak, with a casual posture, a clear temperament, and a world-class demeanor.
Such two people!
Princess Chang of Beizhou and Prime Minister of Beizhou suddenly felt that it was not a shame that they were defeated by the two of them. No one in the world could match Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang. With them in Southern Qi, it might be worth millions of soldiers.
After reaching a consensus, Ye Chang said, "Today is a good day. Since the eldest princess and the prime minister agree, let's make a decision and see how many cities Bei Zhou can redeem." After saying that, he smiled, "It's best if these ten cities Redeem them all, I am short of money in Nanqi."
The eldest princess's face was very ugly, she couldn't even smile, she said to Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan, "Ye Shizi, Miss Su, let us discuss for a while, how about?"
"It's easy to say!" Ye Chang pulled Su Fengnuan out of the Snow Pavilion.
There was heavy snow in the sky, and this time the snow was heavy, and the sky was silvery white, as if the sky and the earth were covered by white snow. This kind of heavy snow can cover all the traces of the battlefield and bury all the spread of the plague.
The hand stove in Ye Chang's hand was already cold, and his fingertips felt icy cold.
Su Fengnuan took off the stove in his hand, and wrapped his hand in his own.
Ye Chang looked down at Su Fengnuan, and smiled warmly. He was only one year older than her, but his figure was much taller than hers, and his hands were bigger than hers. Her soft and slender hands were almost He couldn't wrap his hands, but he felt warmer than a hand stove, and this kind of warmth has been diffused into his heart.
Behind the two, the Princess of Northern Zhou and the Prime Minister of Northern Zhou were discussing how much gold Northern Zhou could produce in the snow appreciation pavilion. Since the beginning of this year, Prince Chu Han of the Northern Zhou Dynasty raised troops in the western region and fought for several months. Later, he raised troops in Yanbei again. After fighting for more than a month, now the Southern Qi turned and attacked the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Zhou Dynasty lost seven cities in a row, and lost countless food and military salaries. Now that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was also dragged down by the war, and the land was ceded to pay compensation, with Ye Chang's harsh conditions, the Northern Zhou Dynasty might not be able to ease it in ten years.
But even so, the princess and the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also wanted to redeem all the cities of the Northern Zhou Dynasty with gold. After all, gold and silver have prices, but cities are priceless. 200,000 taels of gold to buy a city is indeed a bit high price, but if you don't buy it, the city will permanently belong to the territory of Southern Qi. All, they gritted their teeth and wanted to buy it back.
So, half an hour later, Princess Chang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the prime minister reached an agreement to redeem the seven cities of the Northern Zhou Dynasty with 1.4 million taels of gold. This was the limit of what Bei Zhou could do.
The people of Yucheng, Yancheng, and Lancheng were deeply moved by Su Che first saving the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and then the Southern Qi army. Nine out of ten people in the cities already have their hearts towards the Southern Qi. If you redeem the city, I'm afraid you won't be able to redeem the hearts of the people in the city, so it's better not to.
1.4 million taels of gold in Seven Cities, plus 500,000 taels of gold as compensation, is 1.9 million taels of gold.
In addition to 1.9 million taels of gold, plus Chu Han as the proton.
Princess Chang of Northern Zhou and the prime minister, Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang immediately signed a peace agreement document between the two countries and stamped the letters of the two countries. Ten days after the Northern Zhou Dynasty, 1.9 million taels of gold and the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were sent to Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang Nan Qi retreated. Later, Southern Qi and Northern Zhou were still friendly countries with diplomatic relations, trade exchanges, and did not send troops to each other.
Two copies of the agreement were signed, one in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and one in the Southern Qi Dynasty.
After Ye Chang accepted the agreement, he nodded to Su Fengnuan. Su Fengnuan blew a whistle, and the Southern Qi's 400,000 soldiers and horses withdrew, dissolving the siege of the Northern Zhou's 200,000 soldiers and horses.
Princess Chang of Beizhou and the Prime Minister were unable to say a word to Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan, and led Beizhou's 200,000 horsemen to leave the Snow Pavilion and Qingchi Mountain.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang watched Princess Chang of Beizhou and the Prime Minister go away, smiled at each other, and retreated to the Snow Pavilion on Qingchi Mountain, returning to Fanxi City.
On the way back to the city, Su Fengnuan asked Ye Chang with a smile, "You said that for the sake of power, for the sake of the Northern Zhou Emperor, and for the sake of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Su Fengnuan asked Ye Chang to meet the Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou, is it worth it?"
Ye Chang sneered, "Both are people who are greedy for power. Whether it is the eldest princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, if one of them retreats, it may not be impossible to get married. However, one is the eldest princess who is involved in politics, and the other is sitting The prime minister's chair can't come down. In their hearts, love is no match for power, so impure, what is it worth?"
Su Fengnuan felt that what he said was reasonable, nodded, and said honestly, "You are right, such a princess who is involved in politics, and the other is a prime minister. They can see each other without blind date, but treat them as confidantes, which is the best they can ask for. It worked out. No need for others to judge whether it’s worth it or not.”
Ye Chang nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked her, "How did your master get acquainted with Prime Minister Bei Zhou?"
"The prime minister of Northern Zhou met his master when he was traveling as a teenager. I don't know exactly how. But my master admires the prime minister of Northern Zhou very much." Su Fengnuan said.
Ye Chang smiled and said, "Being a prime minister for a lifetime is naturally two things. Especially when he proposed to buy the city with gold and silver, I thought it was interesting and feasible, so I agreed. The city after the war was dilapidated. Not as real as gold and silver.”
Su Fengnuan also smiled, "Yes, now we sell a city with 200,000 taels of gold, which is worse than saving a city with 200,000 taels of gold. Now that we in Nanqi have solved the external troubles, we still have internal troubles, right? The human, financial and material resources are used to save these cities. What's more, apart from the three cities, these seven cities suddenly belong to the Southern Qi, and the people in the cities will be unstable, so it is better not to."
Ye Chang nodded, "We'll just wait ten days later, collect the gold and withdraw from Chu Han."
Su Fengnuan smiled and nodded.
When the two returned to Fanxi City, Su Che was waiting outside the city gate. Seeing the two returning, he hurriedly asked about the situation.
Ye Chang took out the signed peace agreement and handed it to Su Che.
After watching it, Su Che nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, this is the best way. Although cities are priceless, gold has a price, but our Nanqi treasury is empty, and we need these gold to fill it."
Ye Chang smiled and nodded.
Su Fengnuan told Su Che about Ye Chang's feat of poisonous mouth.
Su Che laughed loudly as he listened, and said repeatedly, "It's fun like this, the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are both people with integrity, you broke their arrogance with the chess game, and with the 200,000 soldiers in ambush The horse broke their bones. This time, after the Northern Zhou princess and the prime minister return to the Northern Zhou, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to get involved in the Northern Zhou government."
Su Fengnuan said, "It's time to retire after living a long time."
Su Che handed back the signed peace agreement to Ye Chang, and said to the two of them, "After negotiating peace with Northern Zhou, Northern Zhou will no longer have the strength to raise troops for at least ten years. Southern Qi doesn't need a general anymore. I also want to return to Beijing After that, I asked the emperor for an order, resigned from the official position, and retired."
