C2316 He Could Go in Now

Lu Yizha said, his eyes shining with desire. If it wasn't for the capital of the Great Lu Dynasty, he wouldn't want to completely infuriate the emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty. Yesterday, when he met Princess Qi on the street, he had pulled her back.

However, even if he didn't use force yesterday, the possessiveness of Princess Qi in his heart didn't reduce in the slightest. In fact, he was even somewhat eager to get Princess Qi's hands on her as soon as possible.

When the leading messenger saw Lu Yizha's appearance, he smiled and said, "It seems that Minister Wu has done a good thing. If it wasn't for his insistence, perhaps he would have done a good deed back in the main hall. We won't ask for a marriage alliance. I wonder why that Minister Wu wants us to insist on a marriage alliance. His relationship with the princess isn't good?"

Regarding Minister Wu's insistence on a marriage alliance, these few emissaries of the Fengjue Country... Their hearts were filled with doubt and confusion. After all, to the Great Lu Dynasty, and even to Wu Yan... Why did he want Princess Qi to marry into their Fengjue Country?

Because of this, the emissaries of the Fengjue Country had asked Wu Yan before. However, Wu Yan only smiled at that time and did not give a reason. Because of this matter, the people of the Fengjue Country only wanted to gossip about it. There was no strong relationship between them, so they did not ask any more questions.

"Who cares about him? These people of the Great Lu Dynasty don't have any ability on the battlefield, but their ability to harm their own people is truly amazing." Lu Yizha said, "If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to find such a beautiful Imperial Concubine."

Although Lu Yizha was somewhat grateful for Wu Yan's help in the marriage alliance, it didn't affect his contempt for Wu Yan. In fact, he really looked down on anyone from the Great Lu Dynasty.

"Alright, let's not think about him anymore." The leading messenger said, "Let's think about what kind of conditions we should put forward for the negotiation. The soldiers on the frontlines won such a huge war, we cannot let them down. The conditions we proposed earlier are obviously not enough to satisfy our demands. "

Clearly, the war at the frontlines had given them a lot of confidence. Since they had won and won so beautifully, they naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to slaughter the Great Lu Dynasty. They wanted to make more requests than before.

"Of course." The other two nodded at the same time. The current situation was advantageous to them. If they didn't know how to use them, they would be idiots.

Obviously, the people from the Fengjue Country weren't stupid.

On the other side, Wu Yan had been angry ever since he returned from the inn. At the same time, he had also reported the situation here to the Emperor. Both of their hearts were filled with anger and heaviness.

The anger was naturally because of the change in attitude of the few special envoys of the Fengjue Country. It was obvious that they were prepared to show off their strength. The reason why they were so angry was because the other party had clearly made a request that was even more excessive. Otherwise, they would have accepted the peace talks by now.

"It has been hard on Minister Wu for the past few days." The king said with a gloomy face, "The situation at the front line is not optimistic. The surrounding cities have already been deployed. However, the number of troops is limited. Moreover, they were defeated too quickly. Let the other cities not have much time to react. Once the Fengjue Country continues to attack... The consequences would be very severe. Therefore, no matter what, we must make them withdraw. If the conditions are right, we can relax a little. The current situation is unfavorable to us, so we can only satisfy their ambitions."

"Yes, this lowly subject understands." Wu Yan said, "Then regarding the marriage..."

Hearing Wu Yan's question, the king's face became even uglier. However, he also understood that this problem couldn't be avoided. Because, the people of the Fengjue Country had insisted on this point. Now that the other party had the advantage, there was no reason for them to give up on this point.

"It's best if you don't agree to it. It's also possible for you to gain more benefits. If you really can't... " Speaking up to this point, the emperor paused for a moment, and then... He said with some difficulty, "If it really doesn't work, then promise them."

After that, the king's face became darker and darker. He gave his most beloved sister to those barbarians with his own hands. The king felt ashamed and aggrieved at the same time.

However, he could only choose this way. He could do it. The only thing he could do now was to remember his current mood and try his best to restore the glory of the Great Lu Dynasty. After that, he would use the Fengjue Country as well as some of the surrounding powers. He would conquer all of them! He would reclaim the dignity that the Great Lu Dynasty had lost!

Upon hearing the words of the emperor, Wu Yan, who had his head lowered slightly, revealed a trace of a smile. However, it quickly faded away. The anger he had suffered at the inn today had finally made his mood a little better.

All along, Wu Yan had wanted to marry Princess Qi out. It was best to marry her to a faraway place, the farther the better. This way, she would not be able to interfere in the matters of the Imperial Palace, and her younger sister would be able to become the Empress.

The appearance of the Fengjue Country special envoys gave Wu Yan some hope, so he had always encouraged those special envoys to insist on marriage, in order to marry Princess Qi to the Fengjue Country.

However, the Emperor was clearly unwilling in his heart. Even if he had his own innuendo and his sister's pillow wind, it would be very difficult for the Emperor to make that kind of decision.

And now, there was finally a turning point. The Great Lu Dynasty frontline army had been defeated. When the Great Lu Dynasty and the Fengjue Country were negotiating, they no longer had the confidence to bargain. As for the request of the Fengjue Country's people, as long as it was not a threat to the country... Presumably, the Emperor would agree to it, and the marriage had not reached that extent yet.

Now, it was finally the Emperor who had personally expressed his stance. How could Wu Yan, who had always wanted to achieve this, not be happy?

"Yes, this lowly subject understands. This lowly subject will definitely do my best to protect the dignity of the Great Lu Dynasty and minimize the losses." Wu Yan said with a serious face.

"En, I believe in Wu Aiqing." The king said with a relaxed expression. There were so many officials in the court. There were only a few people who could make him feel at ease, or they were just cheating. It was either that he was not capable enough, and there were not many people who could make him feel at ease. This Wu Yan was obviously one of them.

"If Minister Wu can reduce the losses of the Great Lu Dynasty this time, how should Zhen reward him?" The emperor thought in his heart.

Generally speaking, when a subject makes a great contribution, the emperor will promote him. However, this Wu Yan has already become Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and is ranked first. There was no way to increase his official rank, and the Great Lu Dynasty did not have the history of a king with a different surname. Therefore, even if the Emperor wanted to promote Wu Yan to a higher rank, there was no other way.

As for the rewards, it didn't seem to be enough to show his trust and appreciation. So, if Wu Yan really succeeded in this matter, how would he reward him? It would still be a problem.

"Right, Zhen has always wanted to confer Imperial Concubine Wu the title of Empress. However, there are many voices of opposition in the Imperial Court. If Wu Yan is able to handle the matter beautifully this time... Then... Zhen will use this opportunity to appoint Imperial Concubine Wu as the queen. At that time, there will be a lot less people against it. Furthermore, this could be considered as a reward to Wu Yan and the Wu family." The emperor suddenly thought of the fact that there was no master in his harem. And he had always wanted to establish a successor, and among the candidates were Consort Wu and Consort Li. Of course, he was still somewhat biased towards Consort Wu. It was just that... Previously, there were voices of opposition in the Imperial Court. Furthermore, there was the relationship between Noble Consort Wu and Princess Qi. It did not seem to be very good, which was why he did not appoint Noble Consort Wu as his queen.1

And this time was clearly an opportunity. If Wu Yan handled the matter beautifully, then... Then he would definitely reward him. It was just that Wu Yan already had nothing to reward him with. Changing the title of Imperial Concubine Wu to Imperial Concubine Wu was a good adaptive method. At that time, the opposition in the Imperial Court would naturally be quiet.

As for Princess Qi, the Emperor had always felt that Princess Qi and Imperial Concubine Wu's relationship was not very good. It was because there was some misunderstanding. If the misunderstanding was resolved... The relationship between the two could be eased. This was not a big deal.

Of course, although the Emperor was unwilling to think about it, the fact was that Princess Qi might not be in the Palace anymore. Naturally, there was no way to oppose it.

The Emperor did not tell Wu Yan what he was thinking. After all, the other party had not completed the task yet. Everything would have to wait until the other party finished the task.

Wu Yan was full of confidence and was ready to go and negotiate, but the process did not go smoothly. In the next few days, he still did not see the special envoys of the Fengjue Country. He went to the post house every day, and he also had to shut the door every day. The Fengjue Country's servants didn't let him in at all.

The furious Wu Yan even wanted to barge in. However, he also understood that the other party did not want to see him. Even if he forced his way in, even if he met the envoys of the Fengjue Country... The meaning that they were trying to convey was very clear. They just didn't want to see him, and they didn't want to negotiate. Even if he used other methods to meet them, it would still be useless. If the other party didn't want to talk, then everything would be in vain.

After all, the initiative wasn't on the Great Lu Dynasty's side, but on the Fengjue Country's side.

Because of this, Wu Yan could only suppress his temper and insist on going every day. He also had to restrain his temper and prevent himself from getting angry. Otherwise, he would fall to the bottom level and wouldn't be of any help to the matter.

This situation continued for seven days. On the eighth day, when Wu Yan went to visit as usual, the few special envoys of the Fengjue Country were finally free.

"Can I really go in?" They had been rejected the entire time, but the other party suddenly let them in. This made Wu Yan feel surreal.
