After a while.
The entire palace was bustling with activity, and the bright red word 'happiness' was hung everywhere.
The Great Prince of the Northern Barbarians rode on a tall date red horse, followed by a group of envoys, heading to the princess's boudoir.
The peace negotiations were completed.
As a great country, the Great Zhou naturally promised many benefits to the Northern Barbarians that he was affiliated with.
After the marriage, the barbarian emissary group would almost leave the Great Zhou.
Everyone in the diplomatic mission was overjoyed, and their expressions were so smug that the surrounding palace maids gritted their teeth.
"What right do these barbarians have to marry our princess?”
A young palace maid said in disdain from the corner.
His companion frowned and whispered,""It's all because Your Majesty insists on a marriage alliance. I feel that there's no need for this. Our Great Zhou doesn't need to use a marriage alliance to appease these barbarians at all.”
"Don't talk nonsense. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, they'll lose their heads.”
A voice suddenly appeared, startling the two maids. They turned around and realized that it was a eunuch they knew.
"Little Bench, are you going to expose us?”
The eunuch who spoke was called Little Bench.
He usually had a good relationship with everyone.
When the two palace maids saw that it was a small stool, they relaxed and pouted.
"You two just like to bully me. I can't do it for your own good.”The small stool rolled his eyes and said.
"However, this marriage alliance is indeed a little cowardly.”
"It's not a little, it's very much. This is the first time our Great Zhou has made an alliance with the barbarians.”
"In the past, when the Great Zhou was facing the most difficult times of the barbarians, they did not choose to marry. I didn't expect that now that the country's strength is strong, they would choose to marry.”
"Sigh, what's the use of saying all this? It's better to do what we're supposed to do and not accidentally lose our heads.”
After the young eunuch finished speaking, he left in a hurry. The two palace maids also felt bored and left.
There were many complaints about the Northern Barbarian First Prince's wedding.
However, in view of what Emperor Yuan Tai had done last time, no one dared to protest like last time.
......
The eldest prince of the Northern Barbarians laughed proudly on the way.
However, he brought the princess he married to meet Emperor Yuan Tai.
Inside Yangxin Hall.
At this moment, Emperor Yuan Tai was resting.
When he heard that the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians wanted to see him, he paid his respects without hesitation.
Poor Wen Cifu had been rejected eight times, if not ten times, but he was still not treated as well as a barbarian.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for completing the great cause of the Great Zhou Dynasty and finally stepping into peace with the Northern Barbarians.”
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians was still wearing his red wedding robe. He saluted and congratulated the moment he entered the door.
Emperor Yuan Tai laughed and said," Everyone has contributed greatly. What do you want from me, First Prince?"”
Logically speaking.
After the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians welcomed the princess of the Great Zhou, he should start to leave the Great Zhou.
However, the First Prince had specially followed the etiquette of the Great Zhou and brought the princess to meet him.
Emperor Yuan Tai guessed that he might have some request.
Anyway, he was happy now. As long as it was not too much, he could agree to it.
"I heard that General Lu, who was guarding the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was sent to the imperial prison because he offended the imperial court. I wonder how he is now.”
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians smiled.
"Are you talking about the Northern Yan King, Lu Yu?"
"He's no longer a general. Now that his bones have been crippled, he's already a cripple.”
"Then I have a request that I hope Your Majesty can grant.”
Emperor Yuan Tai glanced at him and said casually,""What is it?"
"Our country has been at war with General Lu for a long time.”
"These casualties are naturally unavoidable.”
"But we, the Northern Barbarians, had already sent an emissary group to negotiate peace with His Majesty, and His Majesty had agreed to our request.”
"However, the King of Beiyan ignored His Majesty's orders and acted willfully.”
"They cruelly killed our soldiers who had long laid down their weapons and stopped resisting.”
"Many innocent people died because of this.”
"In order not to hurt the harmony between our two countries, I hope that Your Majesty can kill this person. It can also be considered as an explanation for the people of our two countries who yearn for peace.”
"Moreover, this way, our people will be at ease and will be even more willing to submit to the Great Zhou.”
The First Prince said sincerely.
This was naturally an excuse. When Lu Yu was guarding the northern border, he had surrounded the Northern Barbarian soldiers many times, causing the Northern Barbarian border army to suffer.
Killing Lu Yu was to understand the Northern Barbarians.
The second reason was that if the Northern Barbarians were to recuperate one day and fall out with them, Emperor Yuan Tai would not have the chance to put Lu Yu in an important position.
This way, the border army could take advantage of the fact that the Northern Yan army was leaderless and invade the Great Zhou territory.
This was killing two birds with one stone.
After all, the Northern Barbarians really did not want to fight against this Great Zhou's Defender General anymore.
If he didn't send a Xiantian Realm warrior, he really wouldn't be able to win.
"This…"
Emperor Yuan Tai hesitated.
It wasn't that he didn't want to kill Lu Yu, but that it was too difficult.
Even though he had labeled Lu Yu as a cruel person, the observant court officials knew that he was afraid that Lu Yu's achievements would shock his master.
Imprisoning him in the imperial prison was already the limit.
If he wanted to kill them directly, the resistance would be extremely great.
Ignoring the obstruction of the civil officials.
He couldn't explain to the military officials alone.
After all, killing Lu Yu would definitely make the military officer feel disappointed.
However, since the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians had suggested that it could increase the friendship between the two countries and gain the favor of the Northern Barbarians, it was not impossible to give it a try.
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Yuan Tai said,""I'll bring this up in court tomorrow.”
"However, Zhen cannot agree to this.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians was overjoyed and knelt down on one knee.
Emperor Yuan Tai was delighted to see the First Prince kneeling down on one knee.
"Not bad, you can go down first."”
This was also his original thought.
He also knew the principle of cutting the weeds and removing the roots.
Even if the current King of Northern Yan was a cripple.
However, as long as Lu Yu was alive, the name of the King of Northern Yan would always be mentioned by the people of Great Zhou.
In this case, no matter what, Emperor Yuan Tai would not be able to take back the military power of the Northern Yan Army.
Only dead people would not pose any threat to him.
However, it was too difficult to kill Lu Yu.
Since the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians had suggested it, it was a good time to try putting it into action.
Zhao Gao, who was beside him, was looking at Emperor Yuan Tai and the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians with a murderous look.
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians wanted to kill Lu Yu because Lu Yu was a nightmare to them.
This was understandable.
However, Emperor Yuan Tai, the Emperor of Great Zhou, wanted to kill Lu Yu because Lu Yu had made too many contributions.
In fact, since ancient times.
Almost no one who held military power could return to the fields in one piece.
Especially when the new and old emperors handed over power, the power in the court would basically be cleaned up.
Therefore, for a general, the best place for them to sleep was the battlefield.
However, Emperor Yuan Tai couldn't wait any longer.
His throne had just stabilized, and he couldn't wait to sharpen his knife and aim at these meritorious officials.
Lu Yu was not the first.
He would not be the last.
He was only one of them who had the greatest influence on the Great Zhou.
Therefore, Emperor Yuan Tai was very cautious about him.
Zhao Gao was well aware of this.
After all, in his previous life, he had done this with his good master, Qin II Huhai.
But now, he knew it clearly.
This was the final result.
It's just my own demise
Zhao Gao said," Your Majesty, you are indeed a wise ruler. You have the demeanor of an emperor of a great country. Even the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians has no choice but to kneel before you."”
Emperor Yuan Tai smiled and said," This is nothing. If I can bring the Great Zhou to peace, I can certainly make it stronger."”
"Not only does our Great Zhou want to be above the seven countries, but it also wants to be above the seven countries.”
"I want to see the day when all the countries come to court and bow down to our Great Zhou!”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Zhao Gao said in a flattering manner, and at the same time, he made an unnoticeable gesture.
As soon as he made this gesture, a palace maid behind him hurriedly left Yangxin Palace Hall.
He had already arranged many people around Emperor Yuan Tai.
However, because there was a martial grandmaster hidden in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Zhao Gao did not dare to let Yue Ba and the Six Sword Slaves hide in the inner city of the Imperial Palace.
After the palace maid left, the news that the Emperor wanted to kill Lu Yu would spread.
At that time, all the network assassins would take action and mobilize all their resources.
It was impossible for Emperor Yuan Tai to kill his master!
