The good news about Huangzhou spread again along both sides of the official road.
There are cheers everywhere in Daxia!
No matter whether they are from a wealthy family or poor people, they all feel proud and proud.
Marshal Li Jian was indeed an invincible general. He destroyed an army of 200,000 Sirius cavalry in one battle, breaking the myth that the Sirius cavalry was invincible.
At the same time, it also shattered the Daxia people's fear of the Sirius people.
Those people again quickly removed the memorial tablets of Xia Tian and the child.
They all cried with joy!
Sure enough, wherever the King of Huangzhou is present, miracles will happen.
As the good news from Huangzhou spreads further and further.
On the land of China, the young girls in the boudoir are cheering for joy!
God must have heard their prayers and allowed Daxia to win the Battle of Huangzhou and Marshal Li to rescue the King of Huangzhou.
That perfect handsome man is still alive!
That's great!
at this time.
The residence of Prime Minister Zuo in the imperial capital.
In Sima Jian's study.
Sima Jian said solemnly: "According to the news from Huangzhou, the king of Huangzhou has fought with Emperor Tianlang in Yinshan Mountain. As a result, Emperor Tianlang lost 50,000 soldiers and horses and evacuated the Yinshan Pass."
"Just now, Emperor Tianlang Feiniao sent a message to His Majesty, asking Daxia to send envoys to Yinshan for negotiations!"
"If we can't negotiate well, we will lead our troops into the wilderness and trample our horses on our great Xia!"
"This time, the conditions put forward by Emperor Tianlang are very harsh. In addition to asking Daxia to unconditionally release Princess Tianlang, he also wants to recruit the king of Huangzhou as his consort, join the Tianlang Empire as a proton, and pay a compensation of 10 million taels of silver."
Sima Mei's expression changed: "What did His Majesty the Emperor say?"
Sima Jian said with a complex expression: "We won the battle, and your Majesty will never agree to such conditions openly!"
"However, as my father has served His Majesty for so many years, I know very well that his temper is based on my understanding of him. He is afraid that Emperor Sirius will lead his troops to invade, so he will definitely find an alternative compensation plan."
"If the father guessed correctly, this plan is still to let you replace the princess to get married!"
"That old thief Cao Wei is pushing hard for this matter!"
"After the death of his two sons, he is now a little crazy. He wishes that everyone in the world would die of their sons!"
"Ever since the former prince was deposed and his legitimate daughter was forced to become a widow, he wishes that all the daughters in the world would be widowed!"
"He has been coveting the position of left prime minister for twenty years and has always regarded his father as a thorn in his side!"
"This time, he is determined to feel the pain of losing a daughter for his father!"
"This matter is very difficult!"
Speaking of which.
Sima Jian said with a more solemn expression: "This time, the person responsible for negotiating with Emperor Tianlang is the King of Huangzhou."
"He is a sage inside and a king outside, and he will never agree to the conditions of Emperor Sirius!"
"I won't even agree to marry you!"
"Looking at it now, this is a negotiation that is destined to fail!"
"If the talks collapse, Emperor Tianlang will definitely lead his army into the wilderness regardless, and the wilderness state will not be able to escape this disaster!"
"Even Daxia is in danger of being destroyed!"
Sima Mei was silent for a moment: "Father, if I agree to go to the Sirius Empire to get married, how long will it take to prepare?"
Sima Jian said with a heavy heart: "According to mainland practice, when a princess goes to another country to get married, she needs to prepare a dowry and train in the other country's etiquette, which usually takes one year!"
A glimmer of wisdom flashed in Sima Mei's eyes: "What if father delays it a little longer?"
Sima Jian seemed to know what Sima Mei was thinking: "Even if I delay being a father, it will only last for another half a year at most!"
suddenly.
Sima Mei smiled sadly: "If you want me to go to the Sirius Empire to get married, I can, but I have to leave the country through Huangzhou!"
Sima Jian shook his head: "According to convention, we should leave Hemen Pass in the west!"
Sima Mei bit her red lips lightly, almost bleeding, and made up her mind: "Father, tell your majesty, if you use me to get married, the route will be through the deserted state!"
Sima Jian was silent for a moment: "Mei'er, even if you give him a year and a half, given the barren state of Huangzhou, it is impossible for him to develop the power to compete with the Sirius Empire, and it is impossible for him to have the strength to snatch you back!"
Sima Mei's pretty face was full of determination, and she turned around and left: "Then I can't watch him and his sister die in Huangzhou now!"
"If he doesn't have the strength to snatch me back by then, then I will see him one last time in Huangzhou!"
Sima Jian's face changed greatly: "Mei'er, listen, even if you are forced to go to the Sirius Empire to get married, your father will not allow you to do stupid things!"
"As long as you are alive, my father will find a way to save you!"
Sima Mei paused, looked in the direction of Huangzhou and said, "Father, my daughter knows what she should do, don't worry!"
After saying that, Sima Mei's graceful figure disappeared into the yard.
At this time.
Coachman Shiba walked into the courtyard and said, "Master, a letter came from the palace, asking the master to come back to the palace to discuss negotiations with the Sirius Empire!"
"Why"
Sima Jian said helplessly: "What's coming is coming, we can't avoid it!"
Sima Jian entered the palace again.
Everything was as he expected.
really.
The emperor's alternative is to marry Sima Mei!
Sima Jian had no choice but to agree!
Emperor Xia curiously asked: "Sima Aiqing, why does the marriage route have to go through Huangzhou?"
Sima Jian said with an ugly expression: "Because Mei'er wants to see his sister one last time!"
Emperor Xia nodded: "This is human nature, that's right!"
"Stand back!"
"yes!"
Cao Wei followed Sima Jian out of the imperial study with a proud look on his face.
Later.
Emperor Xia walked to the door of the royal study, looked at Sima Jian's back and asked: "Old man, where did Sima Mei go after she ran away from home?"
Eunuch Wei shook his head: "No one from the Imperial City Division followed!"
The emperor thought thoughtfully: "Could she have gone to see Sima Lan?"
"Will you go to see Xiaojiu?"
Eunuch Wei was noncommittal: "I don't dare to speak nonsense!"
Emperor Xia collected his thoughts and said: "Old man, using Sima Mei to marry is the bottom line of this negotiation. It cannot be written on paper and cannot be known to others. If it is leaked, I will make you head on the ground!"
Eunuch Wei pointed at the historian: "What if he leaks it?"
Emperor Xia smiled meaningfully: "He won't do anything to kill you!"
Eunuch Wei blinked: "Your Majesty is indeed just and strict!"
Emperor Xia continued to make arrangements: "After much thought, I think you are the only one who can make the trip in person!"
"Before the negotiation ends, you should follow Xiaojiu, observe his every move, and tell me when you come back!"
"If Xiaojiu and Emperor Sirius can't come to an agreement, you can throw out the marriage issue and directly talk to Emperor Sirius on my behalf!"
"yes!"
After saying that, Emperor Xia wrote an edict and handed it to Eunuch Wei: "Also, Patriarch Yin Yang should have entered the wilderness. Watch him and don't let him be killed by Xiao Jiu in the wilderness!"
"Also, by the way, when will Qin Hongyi and Zhuang Hoe come back?"
"Still not coming back?"
Eunuch Wei took it respectfully: "Yes!"
Emperor Xia suddenly asked: "Old man, are you not coming back?"
