As Li Zhong spoke, he suddenly became excited and raised his hands to Emperor Chen: "Your Majesty, there must be fraud in this. Please punish Jiangzhou Sima for colluding with Liang's envoy..."

"That's it!"

Chen Huang suddenly shouted and interrupted Li Zhong.

All the ministers were shocked and looked at Emperor Chen.

"You people, when facing the envoys of the Liang Kingdom, you shrink back. However, you dare to criticize those who dare to mediate and negotiate terms with the envoys of the Liang Kingdom behind their backs. What are your intentions?"

Emperor Chen showed no mercy and scolded him harshly.

"Your Majesty..." Li Zhong leaned down and knelt down, "I also think about the country and the country..."

However, Emperor Chen ignored Li Zhong and interrupted him directly, and continued: "Sima Zhu Xiuyuan of Jiangzhou has extraordinary courage and is capable of things that others cannot do. He has saved the face of my Chen Dynasty and has done a great job...retire from the Dynasty!"

Chen Huang took Yu Lihua's hand, turned around and walked away quickly, no longer looking at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The accompanying eunuchs and maids quickly followed, and in the blink of an eye, the upper hall was empty.

All the ministers were left, looking at each other in confusion, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

…

Let’s talk about the agreement sent to Chang’an, the capital of Liang Kingdom.

There was another letter, written by Li Jiye himself, and together with the agreement, it was sent to Chang'an by fast horse.

The postman was not a postman at first, but actually one of Li Jiye's followers.

After receiving the warrant from Li Jiye, he galloped on his horse and crossed the border between Liang and Chen at noon that day.

He entrusted the agreement and letter to the Liang Guo Post Station, and presented the warrant of King Qian, ordering the post station to rush 800 miles away and send it to Chang'an.

Yi Cheng checked King Qian's order and found it to be correct, so he did not dare to neglect it.

Immediately, a postman was sent out, carrying the agreement and letters, and rushed to Chang'an on horseback.

The postman traveled under the stars and night, wearing the stars and the moon, tirelessly. He passed many post stations and replaced many horses along the way.

Traveling through mountains and rivers, crossing cities and rivers, and running wildly across the land of Liang.

Two days later.

Emperor Liang received the agreement and letter.

Emperor Liang first read the letter written by King Qian, and then read the agreement.

After reading the agreement, he carefully read the letter written by King Qian again.

After putting down the letter and pondering for a while, Emperor Liang immediately summoned his ministers and brought the matter to the court for discussion...

at the same time.

Jiangzhou.

As we were waiting for Emperor Liang's reply as to whether the agreement would take effect, the original plan to leave Jiangzhou in five days came to nothing.

For Li Jiye and Li Qingnu, this was a wonderful and unexpected surprise.

Because they could stay for two more days, the scenery and people of Jiangzhou made the two brothers and sisters forget to leave.

It would be great if we could stay a little longer.

Li Qingnu especially cherished this hard-won opportunity. She pulled Dong Shuyu and pestered Dong Shuzhen.

The three women slept together and sat together, staying with each other day and night, talking about everything, and loving each other as sisters.

Zhu Xiuyuan was naturally reluctant to see Li Qingnu "occupying" his wife.

A whole day passed and he didn't even see his wife.

If he hadn't known clearly that Li Qingnu was a girl, Zhu Xiuyuan would have gone crazy.

Because she "abducted" Dong Shuzhen and Dong Shuyu at the same time...

But he also thought that this situation should pass soon. It should be fine after Li Qingnu sets off to return to China. When the wife returns, everything will return to normal.

So Zhu Xiuyuan just let things take their own course, let her go, and the patience will pass.

It was just his little maid Qiu Wen who suffered so much. Whenever night fell, she was scared to death.

Qiu Wen has been laying the floor in his room for the past two days. She doesn't dare to go back to the room because she is afraid of the dark and ghosts...

As for Li Jiye, he was simply more excited than his sister.

Because he had a few extra days to ask questions and answer his doubts.

Li Jiye began to pester Zhu Xiuyuan again, asking questions without stopping for a while.

It's just a matter of sleeping with Zhu Xiuyuan...

If Zhu Xiuyuan invites him, Li Jiye will definitely agree and be overjoyed...

Zhu Xiuyuan was actually a little annoyed by him. He was so good at asking questions, and he was tireless, not ashamed to ask, and had a strong thirst for knowledge.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan saw that Li Jiye did not embarrass him too much when negotiating the agreement, and because of his thirst for knowledge and his sister's face, Zhu Xiuyuan patiently made sacrifices, spoke out, and answered his questions.

, to satisfy him.

...Three days after the postman to Liang Kingdom left.

Dong's study room.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye sat opposite each other, with countless pieces of paper on their desks, and pen and ink spread across them.

Zhu Xiuyuan talked and wrote, drew pictures and described objects, and supplemented them with pictures to speed up Li Jiye's understanding. He was a "teacher" who worked very hard.

In the evening, I finally finished explaining all Li Jiye's problems.

At this time, Zhu Xiuyuan's voice was hoarse, his mouth was dry, and he felt exhausted all over.

Li Jiye was quite good at taking matters into his own hands. He hurriedly thanked him with a smile and served tea himself, showing his attentiveness and thoughtfulness.

Zhu Xiuyuan was not polite and took it directly and drank the tea that Li Jiye held.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Zhu Xiuyuan put the cup down and suddenly asked: "It's been three days. I wonder if the postman has delivered the agreement, and I wonder if His Majesty Liang Guo can agree?"

Li Jiye laughed heartily and seemed not worried at all.

After laughing, he said: "Brother Zhu, don't worry about this. I guess my father's reply is already on the way. Everything will be clear by tomorrow at the earliest and the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Zhu Xiuyuan was full of confidence and couldn't help but curiously said: "Brother Li is very sure..."

As he spoke, Zhu Xiuyuan's expression suddenly darkened slightly.

If Emperor Liang failed to agree in the end, then this matter would not be perfect.

In fact, Zhu Xiuyuan received a letter from Yang Tingyu from Health City yesterday afternoon.

Yang Tingyu mentioned in the letter that the small court meeting that took place in Jinshen Hall three days ago was praised by Emperor Chen and praised and criticized by the ministers, all of which were recorded in this letter.

Yang Tingyu wrote this letter to reassure Zhu Xiuyuan and let him know that even if he failed in the end, he had saved Chen Guo's face. If he could do what others couldn't, he should have made a great contribution!

After Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng read this letter, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, they have passed the most difficult hurdle.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan has a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and pursues perfection no matter what he does.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Xiuyuan naturally hoped that Emperor Liang would finally agree and everyone would be happy.

As Zhu Xiuyuan spoke, his mind was spinning and he had already thought about a lot.

However, Li Jiye didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw Zhu Xiuyuan's face turned gloomy, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, I already understood the reason in that letter and moved it with emotion. Besides, my father is wise and has always trusted me. I

I believe my father will definitely agree."

Li Jiye added: "Brother Zhu, don't worry!"

Zhu Xiuyuan forced out a smile and said, "I hope it goes as Brother Li expected!"

The second day.

morning.

Zhu Xiuyuan answered Li Jiye's questions and looked forward to it from time to time.
