Under the eager attention of the people, the two people stepped out of the carriage one after another. Lou Yi immediately came to greet them, and the garrison leader Cheng Kun also led his team. The people knelt down and shouted a thousand years ago. Xiao Lingyao's expression remained unchanged, with her hands behind her back.

, the edge is revealed.

King Rui secretly thought that this boy was really different from before. After a brief exchange of greetings, Xiao Lingyu came to Cheng Kun and said, "My father asked me to bring a batch of grain and grass to return to the people. Please also ask the general to make arrangements."

His voice was neither high nor low, and the nearby people just heard it. When his heart was agitated, Xiao Lingyu's voice was louder: "The people of Wu'an generously donated money to the garrison in times of crisis. His Majesty was deeply gratified and said that everyone in Wu'an has made contributions."

!”

The people were excited and heard him say again: "Your Majesty said that it cannot hinder the people's livelihood, so when repaying, he will pay 10% more as compensation. The food and grass brought this time are sufficient, so the people of Wu'an can rest assured!

"

For a time, the people knelt down and shouted long live. They were not as depressed as before, and Lou Yi's heart dropped even more. Although the IOU was in the name of the garrison, he was the one who took the lead. He really couldn't pay it back.

The people still didn't tear him apart.

The prince came to rescue him. For a moment, he was inexplicably excited: "Your majesty is wise, the prince is wise, the people of Wu'an will remember your holy grace. Thank you, your majesty. Thank you, prince!"

Prince Rui remained silent from behind. Lou Yi also felt embarrassed when he saw him just now. He glanced at him several times and quickly looked away. It was also difficult last time. Today, thanks to the emperor's generosity, the atmosphere was much better.

However, Cheng Kun always had a heavy look on his face. After the prince had exchanged greetings with Lou Yi, he handed a secret letter to Cheng Kun. Cheng Kun took it respectfully. Seeing the fire seal on the letter, he did not dare to open it in public, so he put it away first.

.

Although life in Wu'an was better than in the southwest, it was not even half as good as the capital. Lou Yi was not confident about the accommodation he had arranged. But when he arrived, he found that neither the prince nor the prince showed dissatisfaction. Instead, he praised the furnishings here.

Has charm.

Lou Yi's heart just dropped. He entertained the prince and the prince well, and then began to greet the prince's inquiries and tell him everything that happened at the border recently. Lou Yi was a smart man and did not dare to deceive. He treated both the good and the bad.

Tell it.

Cheng Kun stood on the side. He had already known that the prince was ordered by His Majesty to supervise the country. He thought that the candidate for the prince would not change again. This person would be the 95th Supreme Lord of East Vietnam in the future. He heard that the prince mentioned that he would be deployed and resettled, and there would be repayment.

I deeply admire the work of providing food and grass for the people.

There is no other reason. The prince has his own ideas on how to repay in an orderly manner and how to divert the crowd. It is obvious that he has considered these details well before coming. He does not appear to be arrogant in his speech, and his attitude is comfortable.

Being used to Emperor Yuan being so gloomy and arbitrary, and seeing the gentle breeze and drizzle of the prince, Cheng Kun also felt a heavy weight drop from his heart.

At this time, there were no more people, so he opened the letter and saw the handwriting of Emperor Yuan. There was no punishment. Cheng Kun's eyes were slightly hot. He thought that the prince would definitely bring his majesty's handwriting when he came this time. The food and grass were burned and the loss was huge. He himself was worried.

Can't pass this level.

He never expected that His Majesty would only lightly fine him half a year's salary. He let the matter go lightly. Keeping his position was more important than money. Cheng Kun turned around and faced the direction of the capital, knelt down and shouted thanking the Lord for his kindness, which made King Rui frown.

Xiao Lingyu discussed with Lou Yi and Cheng Kun how to discuss things with Da Kun, and they were not allowed to leave until late at night. When he turned around and saw King Rui yawning, he asked with a smile: "Uncle Emperor, are you sleepy?"

"Isn't it just about returning food and grass and negotiating? The discussion has been going on for so long," King Rui said, leaning on the table: "The prefect didn't even dare to look at me. The last time I came out of the southwest, he was the one who picked me up.

, Shen Hai and I were very embarrassed at that time."

"It's all in the past." Xiao Lingyu said, "But I see that Cheng Kun is holding back his anger. This time he came for peace talks. If he does bad things, I can't spare him."

"The grain and grass were burned, and his crime ranked first. The emperor only fined him half a year's salary. What's the difference between this and no punishment?" King Rui thought to himself: These people don't know how much their family wealth is. Many officials do not live on salary.

Only by working privately can you make money.

The salary for half a year is only a drop in the bucket, and the burned grain and grass cannot be replaced with this little money. However, the military strength is currently tense, and the situation in Beiguan and Southwest is tense. All the troops that can be deployed have been transferred to Wu'an, and we still have to rely on this person to defend Wu'an.

This line.

The purpose of giving such a light punishment is to win over him and make him guard it well. If the food and grass are gone, we can replenish them. The most important thing now is to prevent casualties. The soldiers cannot be harmed. My imperial brother has made miscalculations several times, and he has his way every step of the way.

Calculation.

"Uncle Emperor, I am going to send a message to the other party to request a meeting and set a time and place for the meeting." Xiao Lingyu felt a little uneasy when he thought of meeting the lady, and he understood why it was not Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao.

He is a prince, not an emperor. The prince comes for talks, but the other party sends an emperor and concubine. There is an imbalance of levels.

There was regret in his heart that he could not meet Qin Feng again this time. Compared with him, King Rui avoided Qin Feng: "Although thanks to him, I avoided becoming an idler, but once

It would be unlucky for me to get close to him, and it would be better if I didn't see him."

Qin Feng, who was far away in Kun, sneezed hard several times. There was a thin line between the southwest and Wu'an. The news soon spread to the southwest. Lin Guogong sent someone to inform people, and Rong Ying'an arrived with the Minister of Rites and others.

Southwest, waiting for the other party to communicate.

The negotiation was put on the agenda, and the letters and oral messages of the negotiation changed between the two places every day. After repeated negotiations, the time and place of the meeting were finally set in a small mountain village outside the southwest city, still three miles away from Wu'an.

.

That mountain village basically belongs to Wu'an County, but it is within the shooting range of the artillery on the southwest city wall.

Xiao Lingyu was a little stunned when he saw the finalized location. He was actually willing to put it in the village where Wu'an belongs? But King Rui rolled his eyes directly on the side: "Don't be fooled, that kid is full of calculations, this

The place will definitely not only benefit us."

"That's true." Xiao Lingyu closed the letter. In any case, the date and location were set, and the next step was for the two parties to discuss. This discussion is related to the future security of the southwest border, as well as the future relationship between the two dynasties.

After all, East Vietnam has been completely destroyed, and the entire southwest has been lost. No matter how miserable and poor the southwest is, it is still the territory of East Vietnam.

Xiao Lingyu stood at the window with his hands behind his back. Before setting off, his father summoned him and his two royal brothers and actually gave the two royal brothers a fief. Just before he set off, the two royal brothers also set off for the fief.

The battle for the East Palace has finally come to an end, and the father's plan has finally been completed. But the night before departure, Prime Minister Song and Song Qingming came to the East Palace to advise him. They listened to every word the father and son said, but how could it be accomplished?
