Prince Qi told the story in detail. "There is indeed some concealment in this matter, but not all of it is concealed. The emperor does hope to temporarily calm down the war because the plague is spreading too fast and cannot be controlled. He has to do this. However, Brother Murong should know that my Beimo is divided into the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction. The pro-war faction is headed by Queen Cao. They have always been eyeing the surrounding countries and believe that Beimo is the pride of heaven and should unify the world. This time, if Prince Anran can be invited, there will be no problem. But if he cannot be invited, only the princess can be invited. Queen Cao's pro-war faction has a plan. They will not withdraw troops, but will be gentle first and then confront. Queen Cao told the emperor that once Beimo withdraws troops, Da Zhou will invade without caring about the safety of the regent princess, and Beimo will be in danger."
"Your head is in danger. I have already left the army, which shows my sincerity. You, Beimo, tricked me and the princess into coming to control the plague for you, and then tried to invade my Great Zhou. King Qi, I am really disappointed in you." Murong Jie cursed.
Murong Jie was really angry, because he felt that he had been made a fool, and he had never been made a fool. In his life, he was the only one who schemed against others, and had never been schemed against by anyone, unless he was willing to do so.
He chose to negotiate with Qin Zhou and Prince Qi out of protection for the people of the Great Zhou. He was not afraid of war, he just didn't want to fight.
In this matter, he thought that Beimo should be more humble than him, but he didn't expect that when he came to Beimo, he was told that they were just backups. Okay, he knew this a long time ago, but he thought that even if they were backups, they should be very convincing backups.
Moreover, the most annoying thing is that Bei Mo still wants to fight. Has he already determined that Zi An cannot cure the plague
What else is the plan
Prince Qi's face turned green. Although he felt very guilty about this matter, he was also the prince of Beimo, holding a high position and power. He could not back down after being pointed at and scolded by Murong Jie.
He said with a bad face, "Brother Murong, please calm down for a moment and listen to me. First of all, I express my position. I do not want to fight. As the leader of the peace faction, I want peace more than anyone else. However, my elder brothers, the Prince Zhenguo and Empress Cao, have been instigating the emperor. The two of them will not care about the lives of the people. If so many people had not died this time, they would not agree to let you come. I choose to tell you frankly, and now I have no intention of hiding anything. I am here to assure everyone that the peace faction will strive for a ceasefire at all costs."
Everyone looked at each other. What kind of help was this? It was clearly just to ask them to appease the people of Beimo and tell everyone that the court didn't care about their lives. Look, we were at war with the Great Zhou, but we asked their miracle doctor to come and control the plague.
Xiao Tuo said: "How can you be called honest? You have deceived us to come here. Also, I seriously doubt that even if we cure the plague, you Beimo will not give up the war, right?"
Xiao Tuo's question hit the nail on the head, because everyone saw that Prince Qi was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and dared not speak.
Murong Jie was really furious. How naive and gullible was this regent
This, according to common logic, after this great disaster in Northern Desert, so many people were killed and injured, and so many houses were destroyed, a large number of manpower was needed for rescue and reconstruction, and a large amount of silver was needed to resettle the victims and treat the plague. Northern Desert was not particularly rich, and because of years of military operations, the treasury had been empty and lonely for a long time. Any normal person would not choose to wage war against a friendly country that came to help.
Zi'an was also very angry. This was so weird that it was even weirder than his ancestors.
The country is in turmoil, yet he is still so ambitious. Does the Emperor of Beimo really think he is the fat man
Prince Qi's words were like a plate of ice water, poured harshly on everyone's heads.
Everyone came here with the enthusiasm to quell the war and save the people of the Northern Desert. Although it cannot be said to be great, it must be out of love. Prince Qi suddenly lowered the tone of the whole thing, making them now just like the Beggars' Gang disciples who came to beg with a torn bag.
Prince Qi's next words made everyone even more furious.
He said, "Everyone take a short rest first. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor first."
Su Qing's eyes widened and almost fell out. "What did you say? They won't even let us stay at Chaowen Hall?"
Beimo is Chaowenguan, which is specially used to entertain foreign guests. Of course, only high-ranking foreign guests can stay there.
However, there was a regent, a princess, and the other two were generals. As for Rouyao and Chen Liuliu, they were not from ordinary families either. Their admission into Chaowen Pavilion had already improved the reputation of Chaowen Pavilion.
What else do they want? What… what
Prince Qi walked quickly, afraid to hear their angry complaints again.
After leaving the main hall, he instructed his servants to serve Murong Jie and others well, and then quickly went into the palace.
Xiao Tuo asked Murong Jie in a daze, "What should we do?"
Murong Jie said angrily: "You ask this king, but I ask a donkey?"
Liu Liu said, "Let's go back. Those in power don't care about the lives of the people, so why should we care? Let's just die."
When Liu Liu said this, she thought of the disaster-stricken people she saw on the road, and she couldn't help stamping her feet and said bitterly: "This Beimo should change its emperor."
It was better for Zi'an to calm down first. The young masters, princes, and princesses present were of noble birth and had never suffered any grievances, so it was natural for them to be angry.
She was also angry, but after being angry, she slowly calmed down.
There is no way. Among so many people, Zi'an is still far ahead in the field of suffering injustice.
"Seventh Brother, let's analyze it." Zi'an said.
After listening to Zi'an's analysis, everyone gathered around.
Zi'an's legs were sore from riding all the way, so she couldn't stand up straight. If she sat down, her butt would hurt too, so she squatted down. Naturally, everyone followed her and squatted down, forming a circle.
"Whether the emperor of Beimo welcomes us or not, or has no hope for us, and just wants to use us to fool the people and appease the people, this is their plan. What about us? We have to have our own plans. I just heard from Prince Qi that the pro-war faction in Beimo is mainly composed of Empress Cao and Prince Zhenguo, and the pro-peace faction is mainly composed of Prince Qi. The first thing we should do is not to offend Prince Qi first. After all, he has to take the lead in uniting the pro-peace faction. As for the epidemic, we should do what we should do, but don't give them any guarantees. Anyway, they didn't think we could cure it, and just let us fool people. In this situation, we must not forget our two major purposes for coming to Beimo. First, to treat the plague, and second, to contact the pro-peace faction to create momentum to force the emperor to withdraw his troops. OK, I'm a little long-winded, mainly because I'm angry."
Zi'an's words calmed everyone's anger a little.
At this time, Rouyao asked a more crucial question, "What is Qin Zhou's plan for this war? Brother Qi, have you talked to her and Prince Qi? What is her attitude?"
