"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Fengye hurriedly said and then retreated obediently. The Empress's death was true. Not everyone was like the current Lord Mu, who would dare to scold her just because the Emperor made a little mistake. The Emperor was still the current Emperor, the current Son of Heaven, and the revered one.
The courtiers obviously did not have the intention to hold on to this topic. The Emperor had very little time in court. If he was delayed because of a mistake, how much less work would he have to do?
Mu Yu did not kill Fadi because of this.
He was just standing in the Imperial Court and thinking a lot.
The disaster in the northwest had been resolved, and the matter of assisting the border had been mostly resolved.
Now, as long as the Great Desolation stabilized, they could rely on potatoes and refined salt to prosper for a while. With Wei Ge and the others 'methods, stabilizing the situation in the Great Desolation was not a problem.
It was time for him to retreat.
If not for Miss Yan 'er's accident, Mu Yu would have mentioned it a few days ago.
There was no point in staying in the imperial court of the Great Luo. He had already let down the people and should walk his own path.
After helping her solve this problem, Mu Yu would retire.
Mu Yu let out a sigh of relief. He did not cause any trouble for the empress.
In the imperial court, there was another quarrel.
"Your Majesty, we don't know why we're here, and we don't have a solution. Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?”Some of the officials sighed and brought the topic back to the envoy of the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should first sound out the situation. If it's really a marriage alliance, it's better to agree. If it's anything else, we should first stabilize it and talk about it later.”The officials spoke, but for the sake of the people at the border and for the sake of stability, they could only endure.
Mu Yu's expression was calm.
If she really wanted to let go, she would feel a little sad.
He had stayed here for several years. This was the youth of his life.
He had been studying hard for dozens of years, and he had earned a lot of fame and was able to go to court. However, he wanted to let it go now. The empress had made him wrong! a fatuous ruler misled him.
She felt a little sad.
"Your Majesty, these barbarians dare to offend our Great Luo. I feel that we should send troops.”
" Your Majesty, you can't..." The officials were in an uproar. They were divided into two factions, one was the war faction, and the other was the peace faction.
And the faction that advocated war were mostly the royal relatives and nobles. Because of the marriage alliance, the one who made peace with them was the princess.
The peace faction was mostly made up of court ministers.
"Your Majesty, I feel that there's no need to fear that fellow. If you want to fight, then fight. If we set an example, other countries will think that our Great Luo is easy to bully.”Duke Liu blew his beard and glared at him.”
"Duke Liu. The world is the most important." The empress stared at State Duke Liu. After a moment, she said calmly,""Summon the diplomatic mission here."
State Duke Liu was very unhappy.
The diplomatic mission soon entered.
The empress didn't say much and said indifferently,""Let's marry."
Hearing this, the expressions of the imperial relatives were very ugly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, I've also brought some gifts and tributes. If Your Majesty agrees, it'll be fine…Our king has said that as long as Your Majesty agrees, we'll give Bixia's Daluo 5,000 stones of Western Region mutant fruits, 2,000,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 high-quality horses every year…"
Hearing her words, all the officials in the court gasped in shock.
So many tributes?
The officials found it unbelievable.
The imperial relatives were also happy. These conditions seemed to be good. With such sincerity, their daughter would not suffer any losses if she married over.
However, there were also many officials who felt their hearts turn cold. There must be something strange about this.
"Which royal relative has Qu Hu taken a fancy to?" the empress asked calmly. Since Qu Hu was sincere, I naturally would not reject him.”
The imperial relatives also stared at the girl in the lead of the Western Regions diplomatic mission. This was a good thing for the Great Luo, and Bixia's handling of the matter was understandable. However, for the imperial relatives and their daughters, once they were chosen, it seemed to be a good thing, but it also seemed to be a bad thing. The main thing was that there was something strange about this matter. The Western Regions diplomatic mission was clearly here to threaten them, so why did they give so much?
Those who didn't know better would think that Qu Hu was here for a marriage alliance and not to threaten them.
" Your Majesty, our king has said that we won't make things difficult for you, and we don't want any princesses or royal relatives…" The two-meter-tall bear-like girl glanced at the courtiers a few times, but in the end, she didn't recognize who it was, so she simply said,""Your Majesty, just betroth Lord Mu to our family.”
" Boom…" His words were like thunder, and all the civil and military officials were stunned.
Finally, this is, for, bath, wait, and, come!
All the officials were stunned.
Then, his mind seemed to have been pulled out of the clouds and fog as he reacted to everything.
No wonder the Western Regions, which had nothing to do with the Great Luo, suddenly attacked.
No wonder he made such a promise.
No wonder he was like this. It was because of Mu Hou.
Everything seemed to be clear in an instant.
The courtiers gasped.
For this reason, the emperor came to wait for him.
This time, it was over.
Mu Yu froze.
For him?
She actually came for him?
Mu Yu didn't expect this either, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. It was most likely that what he had done had been reported back by Quhu's spies.
"Your Majesty, please agree to the marriage alliance. Our king is very sincere.”the leading lady said.
"Minister Mu, do you have anything to say?”The empress's face turned slightly pale, but she soon recovered. After a moment of silence, she looked at Mu Yu.
"Your Majesty, I only have two words."
The empress's eyes lit up slightly. She had only asked casually, but the latter was unexpectedly so straightforward this time. He didn't scold her and directly gave her a solution.
Hearing this, all the officials in the court were filled with anticipation. Mu Hou's every move was shocking. Could Mu Yu solve this problem this time?
However, there were also many officials who faintly felt that something was wrong. Why did Mu Yu's expression resemble those old officials who were about to resign and retire after completing their work?
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. If Quhu does this, he will be seeking his own death. Quhu wouldn't dare to make enemies with the Great Luo. Your Majesty is swift and decisive, killing and driving away the people of the diplomatic mission as he pleases.”Mu Yu said with a hint of exhaustion. Exhaustion came from the heart.
The moment he said that, all of the officials were shocked. They had thought of 10,000 answers, but they had never thought that it would be this.
However, thinking about it carefully, all of the officials felt their hearts tremble.
It was true.
They had never thought of this before, but now that they thought about it, it seemed very likely. The current Great Desolation was no longer the Great Desolation of the past. The Great Desolation now controlled the method of refining refined salt, and they even had a rare product like the potato. They would rise up in the future. In other words, if they rose up in the future, other than supporting the neighboring countries around Quhu, Quhu would face a terrifying situation.
Under such circumstances, would Qu Hu dare to fight?
If he offended the Great Luo now, he would be finished in the future.
"Daren is indeed extremely intelligent. As expected of a peerless talent.”At this moment, a lady from the diplomatic mission sighed.""My Great King took a risky move and wanted to bring you back to Quhu, but you saw through it with a single glance. It seems that the rumors are true. The entire court is filled with officials and countless talents to maintain the Great Fall, but you are also the most outstanding of them. You are a rare and unique talent. It seems that you deserve the Great Fall to prosper.”
After she finished speaking, the lady ignored the complicated expressions of many officials and turned to look at the empress."I, Quhu, am willing to apologize and form an alliance with the Great Luo. As long as Your Majesty is willing to sign a treaty that will not affect Quhu in the future, and also agree to the terms of the treaty and the deal with Quhu, we are willing to triple our previous conditions and pay tribute to the Great Luo every year.”
The empress froze.
Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Finally, he said,"This matter will be handled by Chief Wang."
Her gaze turned to Mu Yu again.”
"Your Majesty, I should take my leave." The moment these words were said, the entire scene was shocked again. The expressions of all the officials changed.
P.S. I beg for everything…
