Chapter 535 Northern Desert Plague

When going out, Zi'an told Murong Jie about the fact that the emperor left Yuan Cuiyu in the palace.

After hearing this, Murong Jie said, "It's just a trick, you don't have to worry about it."

"Nurse and I have analyzed it." Zian was silent for a while, "I think the emperor seems to have changed a lot."

"Changed?" Murong Jie smiled, "This is his nature. When he was sick, he compromised a lot, but now that he is healthy, he has no choice but to take everything under his control."

"You knew a long time ago, why are you so loyal to him?" Zian was really puzzled.

"He has always been very kind to this king. This is one. Second, this king is loyal to Da Zhou Jiangshan, not him."

"Before, the relationship between your brothers has always been very good." Zi'an couldn't help feeling sorry.

"Our brotherly relationship is really good. When he was sick, he was the elder brother of the king, not the emperor, but now he is the emperor, Zi'an, you can't get out of this role even more than the king. When the role changes, people also You have to get out, otherwise, you will be easily confused by emotions."

Zi'an couldn't help being ashamed. Indeed, she was not even as clear as his client. Perhaps, it was she who always hoped that the emperor would give his brother's affection instead of the emperor.

He has never had the love of his family.

Since he came back, he never asked about the Grand Concubine, and she didn't intend to say that he should know everything.

Zian actually wanted him to say it, because it is impossible for him to feel nothing at all. He is used to forbearance and keeping everything in his heart, which is not a good sign.

Walking into Jufu Building, the shopkeeper and doctor inside all recognized her, and Murong Jie automatically stood behind her, like a guard.

The shopkeeper personally chose a room for her, which was in the small private room in the garden on the first floor.

Light the agarwood shavings and light the candles. It is cold in April and the charcoal stove is no longer needed. The windows are opened a little bit, and the wind blows in and the candles flicker, and the curtains are lightly fluttering, which has a romantic atmosphere.

The doctor brought in the wine, which was mellow sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Zian ordered three dishes, and after the dishes were served, the doctor withdrew.

Murong Jie poured himself a drink, Zi'an wanted to drink, he said: "Don't drink, you are not healthy."

"It's okay, just drink a little." Zian wanted to drink with him.

"Just one cup!" Murong Jie backed down.

Zi'an smiled and said, "You know that drinking is not good and you still drink it all the time?"

"I'm used to it. I really can't quit with just this little hobby."

Zian clinked glasses with him, "When are you going back to the battlefield?"

This question is inappropriate, at least, on this warm occasion, it shouldn't be asked, it will spoil the atmosphere.

"Whether this battle can be fought or not, we have to wait and see. Now there is an opportunity, which may lead to peace talks." Murong Jie confessed to her, and this is the purpose of his return.

"Really?" This is the best news for Zian.

Murong Jie said: "I met Qin Zhou once."

"Huh?" Zian looked up at him, "Have you met her before? How was the conversation?"

The two countries are at war, and the marshals of the two countries have not yet formally fought? How could the two marshals meet? This is really fresh.

"It was Prince Qi who facilitated this meeting. It was a secret meeting. The emperor didn't know about it, and neither did the emperor of Beimo."

"Will Qin Zhou agree to a truce? Isn't she a militant?" Zian asked puzzled.

"Under normal circumstances, Qin Zhou would of course not agree to a truce, but Beimo is now in a state of national calamity. A month ago, there was an earthquake in Beimo, which killed more than 30,000 people and triggered There was a plague, Beimo's medical skills were backward, and they were helpless against this plague. A large number of people died of this plague every day. Prince Qi found this king and asked him to persuade Old Prince Anran to go to Beimo. If Old Prince Anran can Go, there is a possibility that this battle will stop.”

"So, you're going to see Old Prince An Ran tomorrow?" Zi An asked.

"Yes, but, there are border disputes between Beimo and Daliang, Old Prince Anran may not be willing to go." Murong Jie was worried about this.

"You can ask Ye Wang to invite the old prince. You don't have to come back in person. As a marshal, if you go back to Beijing privately, it will be very serious if people find out." Zi'an certainly hoped that he would come back, but he was only thinking about it. risk issue.

"No, this matter has to be facilitated by the king. There are too many issues involved. It is not so easy for the two countries to cease fighting. Moreover, Prince Qi proposed that if the old prince Anran does not ask, he will hand over the letter of credence to the emperor. , please go over, this king cannot let you go to Beimo, there are many ambitious people in Beimo, this king is not at ease."

"Me?" Zi'an was taken aback.

"Yes, Bei Mo also knows that you cured the zombie disease, and highly respects your medical skills."

If the war can be ceased, Zian is willing to go, but, as he said, it is not so simple to go, she knows nothing about the plague disease in Beimo, and after the plague is cured, Beimo Whether it will really withdraw troops is hard to say.

How can people feel at ease and trust a country that is not honest?

"Then Qin Zhou retreated thirty miles because of the earthquake?" Zi'an asked.

"Yes, most of Beimo's army has been dispatched to deal with this battle, and the earthquake needs soldiers to rescue. Qin Zhou's retreat of 30 miles is actually a trick to lure the enemy. The momentum is like a rainbow, if we attack, we will be defeated, so this king has no choice but to say that the post horse was robbed and the imperial edict was not received."

"Then why didn't Qin Zhou attack directly?"

"Because our great Zhou army is in a very favorable position. If she rushes to attack, the chances of winning are not high and the front line may be extended again and again. She is unwilling to let the army disperse, so retreating for thirty miles actually forces our army to advance and give up. Favorable terrain."

"Qin Zhou is good at fighting, and she has enough patience. She can force you to attack like this. It seems that she really can't wait." Zi'an said.

Murong Jie nodded, "Yes, Beimo is in crisis now, and this matter will soon spread to the capital. I believe that many officials in my Great Zhou Dynasty will persuade the emperor to stand by and look at this matter, thinking that this is an attack." The best time for Northern Desert."

Zi'an nodded, "Yes, Beimo is an enemy country, and the crisis in Beimo is a great opportunity for us."

"Yes." Murong Jie nodded, "Do you think so too?"

"From the point of view of the great power game, it is true. However, I am a doctor, and those who suffer are not politicians, but ordinary people." Zi'an said softly.

Murong Jie sighed softly, "Exactly."

If you wait and see for a while, Qin Zhou may take the initiative to attack, or he may withdraw part of his troops and continue to stay in a stalemate with Da Zhou.

However, as the regent of a country, he always hopes that the two countries can be peaceful. Although peace may not be permanent, any peace will not be permanent. Is there everlasting peace?

No, the ambition is still there, and there will always be another attack.

But at the very least, if Da Zhou lends a helping hand in Beimo at this time, the Beimo leader and faction will be able to take the lead, and the people will also oppose the war. In the long run, it will be beneficial.
