After Qian Han left, Xu Yunchu was summoned into the palace by the emperor on the back foot, discussing that he would send someone to the western region to take over the 1.9 million taels of gold as compensation from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and that the second prince Chu Han would come to Beijing as a hostage.
Xu Yunchu had already read the letter from Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang, and was already prepared in his heart. He had already thought about how to send someone to pick up the 1.9 million taels of gold and Chu Han, and how Chu Han would settle after he came to Beijing. Proposed with the emperor.
The emperor agrees with Xu Yunchu's words, Zhunzuo, regarding Bei Zhou's prince being a proton, everything is left to him to arrange.
Qian Han returned to Fanxi City a few days later with the emperor's letter and Xu Yunchu's reply.
On this day, nine days had passed since the signing of the peace agreement between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty, and there was one day left.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang are not in a hurry. In the past nine days, they have nothing to do to talk with Su Che about the establishment of a military school after he resigned from office. The two are very interested in this matter and helped Su Che to make some suggestions .
After Qian Han brought back the emperor's letter and Xu Yunchu's reply, the two of them finished reading it. Apart from reading the emperor's letter, they were very happy and urged them not to be playful and return to Beijing earlier. . From Xu Yunchu's letter, I read a lot of news.
One is that these days, he is preparing food, grass and military pay, and has no time to spare to think about other things. Before Su Fengnuan asked him to restrain Lin Zhixiao, it was shelved after she left Beijing. A few days ago, I suddenly heard the report from the secret guard of the Guozhang's mansion. Lin Zhixiao, the second son of Lin who has been staying in the capital, seemed to be secretly planning something, but it was just a little suspicious and unusual, but there was no real hammer, not good He said that he would order someone to investigate further.
Second, after Su Qing arrived in the east, he met the king of Xiangjun, and the imperial physician brought him to check and found that the king of Xiangjun was indeed ill. Su Qing accompanies the King of Xiangjun to see a doctor, chat with him every day, or wander outside Xiangcheng in the east. He does nothing and waits for the emperor's will. At present, everything is fine for him in the east. Please rest assured.
The third is that the chaos of the Ye family in Jiangnan is extremely great this time, and it is said that it has affected the entire Ye family in Jiangnan, from the internal struggles of the family to the various business lines involved in the Ye family in Jiangnan and the foundation of generations in Jiangnan. And move the whole body, the turmoil in Jiangnan this time is no less than the war against Yanbei in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Even if Ye Xi can stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, Jiangnan will lose half of its strength, and it will not be easy to recover in the future. In two or three years, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.
What Su Fengnuan was most worried about was Su Qing and Ye Xi. Now that he learned that they were safe from Xu Yunchu's letter, he became more at ease. Regardless of whether it is the east region or the south of the Yangtze River, now the west region is in trouble, and after getting rid of foreign troubles, there will be more time to clean up these two places in the future, so there is no rush.
However, what Lin Zhixiao plans in Beijing is indeed an important matter. From Yanbei to the west, she has been busy dealing with the war, but she forgot about him. Among the crown princes, Yan Wangdu was the man behind the scenes. If he planned something now, with Lin Zhixiao's means, he would have the guts and ability.
Su Fengnuan asked Ye Chang, "What do you think Lin Zhixiao is planning in Beijing?"
Ye Chang narrowed his eyes and snorted, "It won't be a good thing."
Su Fengnuan said, "With Xu Yunchu in the capital, there may not be any big trouble."
Ye Chang was noncommittal.
After a while, Su Fengnuan suddenly said, "When we were discussing peace negotiations in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, we didn't discuss Chu Han coming to Southern Qi to be a proton. How did you change your mind? You mentioned that Chu Han came to Southern Qi to be a proton?"
Ye Chang said, "Because of his death, the grievances of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the public have disappeared. He will come out again after the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Qi negotiate a peace. If this person does not kill him, then his ambition will be worn away. It is also for the sake of the Southern Qi Dynasty." can truly find peace.”
Su Fengnuan nodded.
The next day, it was the tenth day when the peace agreement was signed with Bei Zhou, and it was also the day when Bei Zhou fulfilled what was stated in the peace agreement.
Early in the morning, there was movement from Kangping City. There was a report from the scouts. A group of people escorted dozens of large carts towards Fanxi City. Among them were three carriages with the curtains drawn. It is not known who was sitting inside.
After receiving the report, Su Fengnuan, Ye Chang, and Su Che boarded the gate of Fanxi City, and looked from afar with the binoculars.
From a distance, a group of people and horses could be seen coming, about 50,000 people, they were indeed escorting dozens of carts. It must be that the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already prepared the gold compensation to the Southern Qi Dynasty.
The people in the three-two carriage should be the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister, and Chu Han.
An hour later, the group of people came to the city of Fanxi, and it was Princess Bei Zhou and the prime minister who came to carry out the peace agreement with 1.9 million taels of gold and Chu Han.
Su Che ordered people to open the city gate, Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang went down from the tower, and led people out of the city for inspection.
A cart contains 50,000 taels of gold, and a total of 1.9 million taels of gold is loaded into 38 carts. Ye Chang inspected the gold himself and nodded to Su Fengnuan. Su Fengnuan came to a closed car and stretched out his hand to open the curtain.
Chu Han sat in the car with a pale face, all the hostility, sharpness, and publicity he had once suppressed. He raised his eyes and glanced at Su Fengnuan, feeling very tired and listless.
Su Fengnuan held the curtain with one hand, leaned against the car with the other, and looked at Chu Han with a smile, "Second prince, life is so hard, I didn't go to see Lord Yan after so much trouble, and I have done too much evil, Lord Yan will not accept it." , leave you to live and suffer in this world."
Chu Han looked at Su Fengnuan with a calm expression, "If you don't kill me, I thank you."
Su Fengnuan shook her head, "The king of Hades dare not kill you. I won't do it, so as not to be dragged down by you." After saying that, she put down the curtain with a "slap", and said, "You have gone to the capital of Nanqi, so be sensible. , don't do anything to create chaos, otherwise it will be of no benefit to Bei Zhou, remember, I'll just tell you once."
Chu Han snorted softly as an answer.
Princess Chang of Northern Zhou looked at Su Fengnuan's sarcasm and felt uncomfortable, but she thought that Su Fengnuan was already polite enough to Chu Han. If he went to the capital of Southern Qi, he would probably suffer more than these two sentences. The words were unimaginable, but there was no way around it. Now that Northern Zhou was defeated, people were fighting for swords and I was fish for meat. Ye Chang called for Chu Han by name, so she had no choice but to find Chu Han and send it to Nan Qi.
Northern Zhou Cheng said to Su Che, "General Su, now that I, Northern Zhou, have fulfilled my promise to deliver the gold and the second prince to Nan Qi, should you lead your troops out of these four cities?"
Su Che nodded, "Let's evacuate today."
The Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty cupped his hands, and said warmly to Ye Chang and Su Feng, "Although I was defeated in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I still have a bit of backbone in a great country. I hope that the Emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty will treat my Prince Northern Zhou Dynasty kindly. My Lord of the Northern Zhou Dynasty heard that the Second Prince is still alive , weeping with joy, there is nothing he loves more than the second prince, if something happens to the second prince in Nan Qi, even if I fight to the death, I will swear to Nan Qi not to give up."
Ye Chang smiled faintly, "Okay, I will pass on what the prime minister said to my Southern Qi monarch."
Princess Chang of Northern Zhou opened the curtain, looked at Chu Han, and sighed softly, "Chu Han, don't blame Eldest Aunt, I have to do this for the sake of Northern Zhou. You are the one who provoked the war with Nan Qi, You are defeated, and you should bear the result. I negotiated peace with Nanqi, but I failed to make Northern Zhou suffer less damage. I was defeated. After I returned to the capital, I quit the court and never interfered with the Northern Zhou government."
Chu Han glanced at Princess Beizhou, and suddenly smiled, "I don't blame Eldest Auntie, I know that you, like Emperor Father, have your heart towards me. Don't worry, Ms. Su has said that my fate is hard, and even Lord Yan doesn't care about it." Accepted, I take it seriously."
Su Fengnuan rolled his eyes.
Princess Bei Zhou stretched out her hand to pat him on the shoulder, and lowered the curtain.
On that day, Su Che, Su Fengnuan, and Ye Chang led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to evacuate Fanxi City, Pingshun City, Ding'an City, and Liuyang City. These four cities were returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The three cities of Lancheng, Yancheng, and Yucheng were truly assigned to the territory of the Southern Qi Dynasty from now on.
Su Che withdrew his army to Lancheng, and since then Lancheng has become the border between Southern Qi and Northern Zhou.
Because Su Che had to repair the border military, Su Fengnuan and Ye Shang took thirty-eight carriages and set off with Chu Han before leaving Lancheng.
One day later, the two arrived at Yancheng, where Su Yan guarded Yancheng. After seeing Ye Chang, he looked him over, was very satisfied, and invited him to drink with a smile.
Two days later, the two arrived in Yucheng. Su Cheng guarded Yucheng, and after seeing Ye Chang, he also agreed with this prospective sister-in-law very much, and invited him to have a good meal.
Chen Chen and Zhang Lin had been waiting for the two of them in Yucheng, and when they learned that they would not return to Beijing, Chen Chen scratched his head and asked Su Fengnuan, "Can I follow you to Mount Wangdi?"
Su Feng smiled warmly, "No in principle, but you can pretend to be Ye Chang's follower."
Chen Chen looked at Ye Chang eagerly, "Brother, I'm so curious about Wangdi Mountain, take me with you."
Ye Chang pushed the wine glass to him, and said slightly drunk, "You drink this glass of wine for me, and I will bring you."
Chen Chen twitched his lips, thinking of Su Fengnuan's elder brother and Ye Chang's elder brother, unexpectedly he can drink too much, he is also a little drunk, but if he can go to Wangdi Mountain, he can get drunk as long as he is drunk. So, he happily drank it for Ye Chang.
The meal lasted until midnight, and the statement passed out as expected.
On the second day, Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang set off for Wangdi Mountain. The statement was still drunk and could not get up. Ye Chang ignored him very unconscionably, threw him in Yucheng, and set off with Su Fengnuan. In Yucheng, go to Wangdi Mountain.
