Chapter 880 Countermeasures
"That old fox of Shang Emperor wants you to go to the witch clan?"
Li Yuan, inner courtyard, Hongzhu was shocked when she heard the news brought back by Huanzhu and said in surprise.
"That's right."
Huanzhu nodded and responded, "The Da Shang wants to negotiate peace with the Wu clan. In this way, the 90,000 troops in Guanshan King's hands can return to the rescue as soon as possible to alleviate the crisis in the north."
"It's really a good plan."
When Hongzhu heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "This is a thankless job. It is not easy to negotiate peace with the witch clan. If the Da Shang takes the initiative to negotiate, the witch clan will definitely speak loudly. Even if the Da Shang pays too much, your brother will not be able to gain a good reputation. However, if the Da Shang fails, your brother will be the sinner of the entire Da Shang."
"Sister Huanzhu, what should I do now? Should I tell my brother about this?" Huanzhu said in a voice.
"I have to tell you brother."
Hongzhu nodded and said, "He can only make an idea about this kind of thing."
"I'll write a letter now."
Huanzhu said something and walked towards the room.
In the courtyard, Hongzhu looked towards the palace with a slightly condensed expression.
This time, the old fox of Shanghuang was probably forced to go to the Li family.
Now, the relationship between the Li family and the royal family is as powerful as fire, and it is almost like a breakup on the surface. It has been a confrontation several times in secret, but no one pretended to have nothing happened.
It is not that easy to let the Li family do things.
Half an hour later.
Xinying left Liyuan and flew to the north.
Shijiang City.
The commander's mansion.
A personal guard walked over quickly and sent the letter to him.
Li Ziye took the letter and frowned slightly after reading it.
This immortal is so shameless.
I would like to say hello to his ancestors, I don’t know if it’s appropriate!
After cursing for a few words in his heart, Li Ziye turned around and walked into the room.
After about two quarters of an hour, Li Ziye walked out of the room and handed a letter to the guards on standby in the yard, and ordered, "Send it back."
"yes!"
The personal guard received the order and turned around and left.
Dashang Capital.
After several rounds, Li Ziye's reply was sent to Li Yuan.
In the inner courtyard, Huanzhu saw the contents of the letter and her expression condensed.
"What did your brother say?" Huanzhu walked over and asked.
“Operation on order.”
Huanzhu said truthfully, "But let me ask for an order to bring someone with me."
"Who?" Hongzhu said in surprise.
"Fourth Prince." Huanzhu replied.
When Hongzhu heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly and she quickly reacted.
Awesome!
In this way, no matter what the result is, the royal family will be tied to the Li family.
Even if the peace talks fail and the fourth prince follows, most of the responsibilities will be borne by the royal family.
Xiao Ziye is worthy of being the most insidious person in the world.
"Do what your brother said."
Hongzhu came back to her senses and said, "The Fourth Highness is honest. If you ask for an order in public, the Fourth Highness will definitely agree directly. This is a major event related to the future of Da Shang Shang. The old fox, the Shang Emperor, has no reason to refuse."
As for the boring concerns of seizing the prince as a hostage, it is pure nonsense. The one that Da Shang doesn't need the most is the prince. If the envoys in the peace talks are detained and spread, who will dare to work with the witch clan in the future?
What's more, it is impossible for envoys to join the witch clan to be completely unsuspected.
The fourth prince is among the four great geniuses in the world. His strength is great enough to match many great practitioners of the fifth realm. It is difficult to detain him.
When Xiao Ziye chose the fourth prince to accompany him for the Zhu, he must have taken into account his identity, strength and personality.
He has a lot of hearts and minds.
The next day.
In court.
When he returned to the temple and was granted an envoy, he followed Li Ziye's instructions and asked the Fourth Prince to go with him in public.
The reason is very simple. His status is low and not enough to convince the public. Only when the Fourth Highness walks with him can he express the sincerity of the great merchants' peace talks to the witch clan.
Sure enough, after hearing the request from Huanzhu, Mu Bai immediately expressed his willingness to travel with him and did his best to serve the people of the great merchants.
Although some ministers in the court opposed it and were worried that the fourth prince would be detained by the witch clan, it did not cause much wave.
The key to whether to go or not is Mu Bai's attitude. No matter how much others say, it is useless. Now the situation of the big business is in danger. As the prince of the big business, how could Mu Bai refuse to go because of these boring excuses?
On the dragon throne.
The Emperor Shang looked at the reaction of the fourth brother and the ministers, and his expression was slightly dark.
sharp!
Originally, he only planned to send a few officials from the Honglu Temple to the legitimate son of the Li family to accompany him, but unexpectedly, this son made such a request.
The fourth brother has the identity of a prince. No matter what the outcome of the negotiations, everyone will only take it for granted that this is the responsibility of the royal family.
The Li family's legitimate son made this request in public, which was to determine that the fourth elder would agree.
And he could not refuse this not excessive request in front of all the civil and military officials of the court.
Before the national crisis, why could the prince not practice it and share the worries of the big merchants?
"allow!"
After weighing the pros and cons, the Shang Emperor restrained his mind and agreed.
In the main hall.
When Huanzhu heard Shang Huang agree, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Brother, take it seriously and predict things like a god.
This old fox has no choice but to agree.
The envoys were chosen, and the morning court ended, and all the ministers left the palace one after another.
The fourth prince, Huanzhu, and several officials from the Honglu Temple will set out early tomorrow morning to officially go on a mission to the witch tribe in the southern Xinjiang.
"Brother Li."
Outside Fengtian Palace, Mu Bai called Huanzhu, who was about to leave, and asked, "Can the poison on your body be relieved?"
"I solved it."
Huanzhu replied with a smile, "There are still some remaining poisons left. Use drugs to suppress them. In a short period of time, there will be no serious damage."
"That's good."
Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Red Candle is proficient in toxicology and should be able to find the antidote soon."
"No hurry."
Huanzhu smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'll go back and prepare first, and I'll talk about it in detail tomorrow."
"Brother Li, go slowly." Mu Bai nodded and said.
Huanzhu nodded and then left quickly.
In front of the palace, Mu Bai thought for a while, but did not leave the palace, and turned around and walked towards Weiyang Palace.
He had not yet paid tribute to his mother. In addition, he wanted to go on a mission to the witch clan and talked to his mother.
A quarter of an hour later, Weiyang Palace.
"You're going to the Witch Clan?"
Empress Changsun was shocked after hearing the words of the legitimate son in front of her.
"As a prince, how can you retreat when the country is in trouble?"
Mu Bai said calmly, "With Brother Li walking with him, there will definitely be no problem."
"That's amazing."
After thinking for a while, Empress Changsun thought about it and showed emotion.
The mind of Teacher Li is really terrible.
When Bai'er walks with him, he will be the minister of the commander. Even if the witch tribe asks the Da Shang to cede land as a condition for peace talks, the responsibility will be borne by the royal family.
Therefore, whether Bai'er is traveling with him or not is a very different place for the Li family.
"I hope the witch clan doesn't want to speak loudly."
On the side, the Ninth Princess Murong used a clip to pick up a hazelnut and said, "Otherwise, the consequences will be a little troublesome. Mother, you will go around and go around the corner. In the end, you will have to take responsibility for the brother."
"The love is a must."
