"You came just in time. I want to hear your opinion." The prince retreated, leaving only Su Yueming by his side.
"I wonder why the prince is worried?" she asked, looking away from the white fox fur robe.
Today, she is still dressed plainly and elegantly, like a quiet orchid, exuding a light fragrance silently, but it is unknowingly refreshing and invisibly occupying people's senses and minds.
This kind of dress just fits the prince's mood at the moment. He is worried. Being too bright will offend him, and being too plain will make him look dim.
"Recently, the country of Daliang has repeatedly invaded our border with the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor advocated conscription of troops to attack the enemy country, but the queen mother had a different opinion. She proposed to select a princess from the royal family and give it to the emperor of Daliang for marriage. The emperor believed that the marriage would be beneficial to our country.
It is a shame, but the Queen Mother thinks that a problem that can be solved with one woman does not require a big war. If the war breaks out, the people will definitely be in dire straits." The prince said the problem that had troubled him for many days.
Marriage?
A thought suddenly flashed through Su Yueming's mind.
In her memory, in her previous life, in the face of repeated attacks by Daliang, the emperor finally adopted a marriage policy, sending women, money, and silk to avoid war. The person who was sent for marriage at that time was the ten-year-old Princess Huanyan.
The prince's biological sister.
Now, the reason why the prince is in a dilemma is not only because the emperor said that the marriage would be a shame to the Zhou Dynasty, but also because if he adopts the marriage policy, he will have to give away his only biological sister.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Su Yueming thought for a moment and asked.
The prince stood up, put one hand behind his back, walked a few steps in the palace, and said, "I am more inclined to my father's idea of sending troops to attack! With his relatives and entourage, he can temporarily avoid the war and save the court and the people from the suffering of the war.
But it does not solve the problem fundamentally. On the contrary, the traitor will definitely push for more and demand more. Furthermore, it is really unfair to a weak woman to shoulder the suffering of a country."
Su Yueming sighed slightly. Sure enough, just like in his previous life, the prince was still kind-hearted.
Xuanyuan Qihuang was extremely talented and had a heart for the world. He was the most emperor-like among the nine sons of the emperor. He was defeated because he was not ruthless enough. It was obvious that Xuanyuan Qiche, that scumbag, had other intentions and had him detained.
, but because he cared too much about brotherhood, he finally gave Xuanyuan Qiche a chance.
As a result, in the end, he was overthrown by Xuanyuan Qiche and her. Not only did he lose the throne that originally belonged to him, he was also exiled and was never allowed to return to the capital. It is said that he finally died by the Yonghe Pond with no one around him.
, very miserable.
Sensing Su Yueming's sigh, the prince said, "Why are you sighing?"
Su Yueming said, "Your Highness, in fact, the opinions of the Emperor and the Queen Mother are reasonable. Daliang must be conquered by sending troops. But in Yueming's view, our Zhou Dynasty has suffered from flood disasters for three consecutive years, damaged agriculture, and drained the treasury.
, it is really not appropriate to send out troops immediately."
"What do you think?" the prince asked.
"Yue Ming believes that Dazhou can first send a princess to marry him. His Highness will spend three years to restore agricultural production, fill the national treasury, recruit a large number of troops, and then annihilate Daliang in one fell swoop after three years!"
"That's true, but..." There was a look of confusion on the prince's face. Su Yueming naturally knew what she was having trouble with. She smiled slightly and said -
