The queen's bedroom.
When Lin Bai arrived, the Queen was talking to Gu Ling'er Zhuiyue.
That's right!
When he came, not only Gu Ling'er but also Zhui Yue came.
I don't know since when, a tacit understanding has been formed between Lin Bai and the Queen, and they will definitely bring Zhui Yue with them every time they come.
The Queen was very happy every time, but she never said anything, and neither did Lin Bai.
But the two of them looked at each other and seemed to understand what the other was thinking.
fantastic!
Just like this moment, Zhuiyue kept talking, talking about my uncle's experience in the southwest, and his eyes seemed to glow.
The queen's eyes also shone when she looked at her.
From an outsider's perspective, they would definitely think that the Empress acted like this because she heard about her own royal son's experience, but Lin Bai could see from the other person's eyes that it was clearly aimed at Zhui Yue.
Moreover, Chai Yue’s condition seems to be a little different this time.
"Uncle is here!"
When she discovered that Lin Bai had arrived, Xiao Nizi was very excited and rushed to welcome him.
Lin Bai naturally paid his respects to the queen symbolically.
Later, the queen persuaded them to stay and forced the three of them to have dinner in the palace before returning.
Although the talented man was not happy, he had no choice. The queen spoke up, and for the sake of chasing the moon, she had no choice but to do so. Fortunately, nothing happened. The marriage was arranged by the court, so there was no need for him at all.
The three of them did not leave the palace until after dinner.
the next day.
When Lin Bai woke up, the Iron Lady had prepared a bunch of gifts for him.
Lin Bai brought gifts and went to Qing'an Bo's Mansion first, and then came to Yan's Mansion to have dinner.
The old mother-in-law has been looking forward to it for a long time. She has been making arrangements early in the morning, and the servants are also very busy. The wedding is about to come, and the uncle comes to visit. This is not an ordinary importance.
The key uncle is now the prince, and the most popular prince.
One can imagine.
Miss Yan naturally came back with her.
At the dinner table, the old mother-in-law kept picking up food for my uncle, and almost pushed Comrade Lao Yan off the table. In the words of the old mother-in-law, he was occupying the seat and getting in the way.
Comrade Lao Yan's beard trembled angrily.
But fortunately, there is one place where he has the final say, and that is the study.
At this moment, Weng and his son-in-law had arrived in the study.
"This time, Southwest and all my parents have heard about it. It's very good! Qinzhou is also a wonderful move."
Yan Zhenlin glanced at his uncle appreciatively.
"That's right! Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom have sent envoys here. You just came back, so I'm afraid you don't know yet!" Yan Zhenlin said again.
What?
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, "Why did they send the envoy?"
Yan Zhenlin said: "It's about negotiating peace."
Negotiate peace?
That's right?
Lin Bai was confused. With so many soldiers dead in Dali, how could he be willing to do so?
Apart from anything else, Duan Zhenglong is not a willing master at first glance. How could he...
Although Lin Bai left the southwest battlefield, Zhao Qianjun was guarding there, as well as the southwest coalition forces, and the two sides were always at war with each other.
"Not surprisingly!"
Yan Zhenlin smiled and said, "This is how it is between countries. Your previous three battles caused Dali to suffer a great loss and also let them know the power of Zhuge Liannu. Continuing will not do them any good. "
"The most important point is that these three battles destroyed Duan Zhenglong's prestige."
"Duan Zhenglong has actually been squeezed by the Dali Imperial Guard in Dali, but because of his outstanding military achievements, the Dali Emperor has great trust in him. However, these three defeats have greatly reduced his prestige, and the forces opposing him in Dali took the opportunity to gain momentum. "
"According to what the spies reported, this trip of the Dali envoy was led by the Dali Imperial Preceptor."
Dali Imperial Master?
Lin Bai frowned.
A lazy person like him doesn't know much about Li Chao, and even less about Dali.
Comrade Lao Yan had to explain patiently.
It turns out that Dali is a country that strongly believes in Buddhism, with temples all over the place. There is a saying that "Dali has three hundred and sixty temples, and all the temples ring bells at midnight." The status of monks in Dali is extremely high, and the most virtuous and respected ones are usually awarded Dali. National Division.
In the beginning, the title of Imperial Master was just a false title, regarded as a symbol of honor.
But slowly, the status of the Imperial Preceptor became higher and higher, and he became a powerful force in the court. Countless officials attached themselves to it, and a faction gradually formed...
Lin Bai was not surprised, this kind of thing happened many times in history.
In later modern times, there are not many people in the Middle East who have unified politics and religion.
The situation in Dali is far from that.
It's just that the divine authority entered the court and formed a faction. Of course, if this situation is allowed to happen and the divine authority grows stronger, it will be very dangerous.
It is self-evident that Duan Zhenglong, the leader of the group that opposed theocracy, was defeated.
Of course, this is not what great talents need to care about.
He was not interested in what Dali was doing. What he was curious about was...
"The Dali Imperial Masters are willing to negotiate peace? Isn't this wrong?"
It’s no wonder that Lin Bai suspected that in the past few decades, Dali had been dominant. Now, after losing only three games, he would initiate a peace. It was impossible no matter how he looked at it.
Yan Zhenlin nodded, "Your suspicion is correct. The so-called peace talks are actually just the Dali Imperial Masters taking the opportunity to attack Duan Zhenglong and seize his power."
"However, this is not a bad thing for me to leave the court."
Duan Zhenglong became famous in the southwest battlefield.
Although they lost three games in a row this time, it was caused by the superposition of various factors. Zhuge Liannu's strength and the great talent did not play according to the routine. If it happens again, no one can predict what will happen.
In short, Duan Zhenglong is still very threatening.
Li Chao is also happy to be able to take him down, and is naturally willing to cooperate.
The corner of the talented man's mouth twitched.
All of them are old Yinbi!
Yan Zhenlin continued: "In addition, they may have other purposes."
Lin Bai asked: "Other purpose?"
"good!"
Yan Zhenlin said: "Since the peace talks are fake and temporary, then naturally they will not really be willing to accept it, especially the three defeats. If they do not make up for it, they will not be truly convincing in Dali."
"And you were the instigator of these three battles. According to reports from spies, you have been rumored to be a man-eating demon in Dali."
"So, they will definitely not let you go."
"Although we don't know yet how they will deal with you, you must be careful."
mmp!
Is this a man-eating monster?
Lin Bai rolled his eyes, it was too exaggerated!
have to! Love it! The talented man said that this was nothing, it was just a matter of soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth, and this was leaving the dynasty, so a few envoys could not make a big wave, it was just a drizzle.
Although Lao Yan warned him, he actually didn't take it seriously.
Things are different now, my uncle’s security work is in place.
Weng and son-in-law continued to chat about some recent events in the court. Lin Bai was actually not interested, but Lao Yan was very interested.
No way! I could only listen, but fortunately Miss Yan was with me, so I finally didn't fall asleep.
