Master Ji Er sighed, what else could he say, he could only nod his head heavily.

After convinced Mr. Ji Er, Han Ke Rang had almost no strength to spend Ji Xiaotang. As long as it was a good thing for Qi Younian, Han Ke Rang would do nothing without asking.

And Han Ke made himself willing to do this.

Although he washed away the grievances and entered the court as he wished, he was not completely satisfied with the final result of the scientific investigation fraud case. The truth of the case. Han Kerang had already guessed the clues, and he would not be ruthless to his enemies.

The delegation soon took place. After arriving at Zhenshanguan, they immediately started peace talks with the Northern Barbarians.

Almost every day, Kuaima sent letters to Beijing to report on the progress of the peace talks.

The Northern Barbarians' missions quickly set their conditions.

These conditions are not harsh. On the contrary, from these conditions, the Northern Barbarians were actually very kind and reasonable, which of course has a direct relationship with their men who had just defeated Qi Younian.

There is only one condition. It is a frown, but it is also something that the Northern Barbarians insist on.

Hubei Khan, the largest tribe of the Northern Barbarians, had just died in the mourning period. The terms he proposed to Daqin were to marry the only princess of Daqin today, namely the daughter of Queen Mother Han, and Princess Changning, the legitimate sister of Emperor Longqing.

The Northern Barbarians believed that only when Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing were willing to marry Changning to their leader could they express the sincerity of the Qin Dynasty's reconciliation, and that the two sides could get along with each other in the future.

At that time, the Northern Barbarians were Empress Dowager Han's son-in-law and Emperor Longqing's sister-in-law. Both sides were family, so they could naturally get along well.

Seeing the conditions for peace talks between the Northern Barbarians, Empress Dowager Han was shocked and angry, and immediately sent an imperial envoy to continue negotiations. Other conditions were easy to discuss, but only Changning's marriage was not enough.

The two sides were in a stalemate and refused to give in.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Younian's war report came, and the Northern Barbarians gathered in large numbers, indicating that they wanted to conquer Zhenshan Pass to the death.

In the war report, Qi Younian not only explained the seriousness of the situation, but also stated that he would swear to defend Zhenshan Pass to the death, but he also proposed that the court send food and grass to support as soon as possible.

The soldiers of Zhenshan Pass will soon go hungry and the forage from the war horses will be exhausted.

This is still the usual dosage. If the two armies fight, they will only maintain food that will not let the soldiers go hungry. They will not be able to support the soldiers to fight.

As long as there is food and grass support, Qi Younian will guard Zhenshan Pass.

But if there is no support from food and grass, Qi You will lead the soldiers to survive and die with Zhenshan Pass.

Empress Dowager Han immediately saw what Qi Younian meant. Without food and grass, the mountain pass would not be protected, and the capital would be in danger next. Qi Younian died on the battlefield in battle, maintaining the honor of a soldier and the Marquis of Powerful Marquis' Mansion.

Empress Dowager Han may not care about the death of Qi Younian and his soldiers, but is afraid that Zhenshanguan will not be protected.

The Northern Barbarians only have one condition, which is to have Princess Changning.

Empress Dowager Han must choose between her own country, authority, and Changning.

When Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen entered the palace, they saw the panic in the Cining Palace.

Changning was crying to Empress Dowager Han in the hall, and she didn't want to marry in the Northern Barbarians no matter what.

"... The Queen Mother agreed well. When A You came back to victory, I would let A You and I marry. I would not marry the savage of the Northern Barbarians. The Queen Mother must marry me, I would rather hit him to death."

However, Empress Dowager Han did not give in, and Changning was unwilling to die just like this.

"My mother, I would rather have my head clenched and be a sister-in-law. Mother mother, don't let me marry you!" Changning knelt in front of Empress Dowager Han, crying in tears.

Even if she was in the palace, she heard a lot of legends about the Northern Barbarians. It was a bitter and cold place, a nation that ate raw meat and drank blood. If she went there, she would not be able to survive no matter how she was.

In the hall, in addition to Empress Dowager Han, Changning, Emperor Longqing, Empress Han, and Concubine Zheng were all there, Qin Lin and Zheng Gui, who were also summoned into the palace by Empress Dowager Han.

"I have no choice..." Empress Dowager Han was crying by Changning, and her eyes were also a little red. She did not go to Changning, but looked at the other people present, "You all think of a solution..."

No one spoke.

Empress Dowager Han, who held the supreme power of the Qin Dynasty, had no choice but to do so. What could they do?

After all, this matter is still weak in the Qin Dynasty.

Changning was crying, but after hearing Empress Dowager Han's words, she seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved her life, and she had hope. She knelt there, but her eyes looked around, hoping that someone would come up with an idea so that she would not get a marriage to the Northern Barbarians.

But no one spoke.

Changning was anxious and angry, but suddenly had an idea.

"The Northern Barbarians wanted the princess to marry her, so the queen would recognize another daughter and sign her as a princess, so that she could marry her."

It has to be said that Changning's idea was used by emperors from many dynasties in history. However, this method is not applicable now.

"The Northern Barbarians said it clearly that they wanted sister Changning, the Queen Mother's daughter, and Her Majesty's sister. The Northern Barbarians would not accept other princesses." Qin Lin sighed.

Queen Mother Han didn't say anything, of course she knew better than anyone else that Qin Lin's words were correct.

"Then, then find someone and pretend to be me. Anyway, the barbarians don't recognize me." Changning said in a hurry.

This time, Qin Lin didn't say anything, and no one else said anything, but Empress Dowager Han sighed deeply.

Empress Dowager Han stroked Changning's head, her eyes full of love and helplessness.

"The barbarians got your portrait from somewhere, and it is not feasible to pretend." The Northern Barbarians made it clear that if the Qin Dynasty gave them a fake princess, it would be the greatest insult to them. They would immediately have soldiers, even if only one soldier and one soldier were left, they would have to destroy the Qin Dynasty.

"Ah..." All the retreat routes were blocked. Changning shouted and sat on the ground.

"Why do the barbarians have to ask me? Ayou, Ayou can definitely protect me? Mother, I'm going to find Ayou!"

In the end, Changning was already a little hysterical, but Empress Dowager Han asked someone to take her down.

Empress Dowager Han arranged for her confidant Madam Fang to take care of Changning.

"Serve the princess well, don't make any mistakes..." Empress Dowager Han ordered Madam Fang with deep meaning.

Madam Fang immediately understood and took the order to look at Changning.
