After all, the overall combat effectiveness of Xicang's army is much weaker than that of Apocalypse's army. It is difficult to reverse this stalemate by yourself.
After several days of stalemate, the morale of Xicang's army has been almost exhausted.
At this moment, a general wearing black armor walked in quickly.
It is Duan Yu's most capable subordinate, Yan Chao!
When he arrived, Yan Chao asked cautiously: "Master Prime Minister, are you going to attack today?"
Duan Yu said angrily: "What do you think? We haven't gained the upper hand for several days, so why fight? A truce and a rest!"
Yan Chao looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Master Prime Minister, I have a way to solve the embarrassing situation at hand while ensuring that our Xicang army does not lose its prestige."
He could see that Duan Yu didn't want to fight and wanted to retreat.
But it would be too embarrassing to retreat, so I am so upset.
"Say!" Duan Yu said coldly after taking a sip of wine.
Yan Chao took a deep breath and said slowly: "My subordinates have observed over the past few days that the soldiers of Tianqi's army are exhausted physically and mentally, and they obviously don't want to continue fighting. We in Xicang Continent don't want to fight this war either.
Let the fight continue. Since neither side wants to continue the fight, and neither side is willing to put down their face and admit defeat, then we will send envoys to make peace with Tianqi and the others."
Speaking of this, Yan Chao showed a smile: "We can make peace with the Tianqi royal family. As far as I know, Emperor Tianqi has several daughters, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers and jade. Let's let him marry a princess and marry him.
The prime ministers have made a good relationship for a hundred years, so that the two parties will become a family, and it will be natural to withdraw the troops."
Hahaha....
Hearing this, Duan Yu was overjoyed and clapped his thigh: "Okay, this is a good idea! Just do as you said and send an envoy immediately!"
"yes!"
Apocalypse Imperial City!
Qianyuan Hall.
Xicang's army sent envoys to propose a marriage, and the news quickly spread to the palace.
When Emperor Tianqi learned of this, he immediately summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the matter.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi was sitting on the dragon throne, his expression did not waver at all, and he said calmly: "My dear friends, what do you think about the marriage?"
When he said this, Emperor Tianqi's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
To be honest, the Qiantian Continent did not want to continue fighting with the Xicang Continent, and the emperor also wanted to withdraw his troops! But the other party's proposal to marry a princess was really unacceptable.
You know, no matter which princess is, she is the emperor's favorite! How could she be willing to marry to Xicang Continent!
Although Duan Yu possesses the Sky-Opening Ax and is an extremely talented person, he doesn’t want to marry his daughter to him!
At this time, the Minister of Rites came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the marriage proposal proposed by the Xicang army is reasonable. The two sides will make an alliance and will not invade each other in the future. This will be beneficial to us as we have one less powerful enemy.
.”
"You put it lightly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of War came out and retorted unhappily: "Among the princesses of your majesty, only Princess Yue Ying is the only one. At the age of marriage, Princess Yue Ying is the apple of your majesty's eye and the most beloved. How can you let her marry far away?"
To Duan Yu? Do you think His Majesty is not upset enough?"
The Minister of Rites looked embarrassed and said to Emperor Tianqi, "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant."
That's right, Princess Yue Ying, Director Yingying, is His Majesty's most beloved daughter.
If Ren Yingying is married off to Xicang Continent, Your Majesty will probably have trouble sleeping and eating...
Emperor Tianqi waved his hands irritably, signaling them to stop talking.
At this moment, the Imperial Master came out, bowed, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. In fact, this matter is also simple."
"oh?"
Emperor Tianqi frowned and looked at the Imperial Preceptor, his irritable mood relieved a little: "Is there anything the Imperial Preceptor can do?"
The Imperial Master smiled slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, when Xicang Continent proposes a marriage, it is actually just to find a reason to retreat. Therefore, we don't need to marry a real princess. We just need to find a random beauty and make her a princess.
Just get married."
After a pause, the Imperial Master continued: "I remember that there was a personal maid named Xiao Yuruo next to Princess Yueying. She was once a prisoner. This girl is naturally beautiful and has a good temperament. Your Majesty can give her the title of a princess.
Send him to Xicang Continent for marriage."
Wow!
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the main hall, and all the civil and military officials opened their mouths to praise!
"The Imperial Master is still very smart."
"Yes, this is a great idea."
Emperor Tianqi also showed a smile, nodded in approval and said: "The method of the Imperial Master is really good, very good, just do it as you said."
Immediately, Emperor Tianqi looked around the main hall and said slowly: "According to my decree, Xiao Yuruo is granted the title of Princess Yuruo. Three days later, he will go to Xicang Continent and marry Xicang Prime Minister Duan Yu."
"According to the order!"
At this moment, all civil and military officials responded in unison.
