Liang and Song finally negotiated peace.
The Song Dynasty signed a huge compensation agreement and ceded the five cities captured by Liang Jun.
The Song State promised to donate 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 bolts of silk to Liang State every year.
If Liu Ziye hadn't insisted on going his own way, thinking that he could defeat the Liang Kingdom with the help of Wunan Kingdom's firearms... Although the Song Kingdom was defeated, it wouldn't be so tragic.
The compensation amount alone emptied the state treasury of the Song Dynasty and could not be paid back in one go.
You can only owe huge debts, and you will have to keep your head down in the future.
When Song State suffered such a disastrous defeat, Liang State actually agreed to let Song State send "overseas students" to study in Liang State's "Royal Academy" every year.
And they agreed that students from Song Dynasty would be allowed to return to China as soon as the time for studying abroad is up.
"I really didn't expect that Liang Guo was so generous and agreed immediately without any other conditions?" Song officials were surprised.
"This is the honor of the eldest princess! The eldest princess wrote a letter to the Queen of Liang Kingdom!"
"So the eldest princess is so powerful?"
"When the eldest princess was on a mission to the Liang Kingdom, she had a very good personal relationship with the Queen of the Liang Kingdom!"
Because of this relationship, the ministers did not dare to complain about Liu Jiaren, who was listening behind the curtain.
It's just that the young Liu Qi listened to the slanderous words of the harem.
He thought that his aunt supported him on the surface, but actually used him to deal with his father.
Liu Qi took advantage of his aunt's absence and ran to find his father.
"I want to warn my father! If he doesn't cheer up, our family's throne will be gone!"
"It's not scary to make mistakes, and it's not scary to fail!"
"As long as my father comes back..."
Liu Qi is small in stature and can run quite fast with short legs.
He threw away the palace man and slammed open the door of Liu Ziye's palace like a small cannonball.
The originally distant sound of silk and bamboo music suddenly hit me.
A group of dazzling dancers, dressed in light gauze and thin clothes, showed off their graceful waists as they danced.
Liu Qi stood stunned at the entrance of the palace, staring blankly at his father, whom he admired most.
My father was leaning in the seat, squinting his eyes, holding the wine glass, like a puddle of mud.
Liu Qi clenched his fists, shocked and angry.
He stepped into the palace and said, "Stop it!"
With a childlike voice, he shouted loudly and rushed to his father.
"Father! Why are you so drunk here? Do you still have the heart to listen to this melodious sound and watch the dancer dance?"
"Although we have failed! But we will not always fail! You have to cheer up!"
"Auntie said that if we recharge our batteries, we will get better and better! Father..."
"roll!"
Liu Ziye looked at Little Douding who was clenching his fists, blushing and trying to teach him a lesson.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to teach me a lesson?! Get out of here!"
Tears of humiliation, anger, and unwillingness swirled in Liu Qi's innocent and ignorant eyes.
But he took out the courage of his life, stiffened his neck, and straightened his back, "I won't! I won't leave! Unless my father promises me, he will never drink again or indulge in sex..."
"噌怌——"
Liu Ziye suddenly pulled out the long sword on his side, "Get out! I tell you to get out!"
He pointed his sword at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was startled at first, and then looked at the sword in astonishment. His eyes slowly moved from the sword to his father's face.
"Father? You want to kill me?"
"You keep nagging me! I'll kill you!" Liu Ziye staggered and said drunkenly, "No one dares to teach me! Bully me! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Ha! I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of anyone! Xiao Yuchen, right? Come and duel with me if you dare!"
"It's those cowards in the court who are afraid of Xiao Yuchen! I'm not afraid!"
Liu Ziye suddenly stared at Liu Qi.
"It's you! You betrayed me! You took refuge with Xiao Yuchen! Tell me! What benefits did he give you? Telling you to betray me!"
As Liu Ziye said this, he suddenly raised his sword with both hands and slashed it down at Liu Qi!
"Ahhhh——"
"The Emperor doesn't want it! That's the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness, get out of here!"
The musicians and dancers in the palace were all frightened to death.
They screamed, but every one of them was so frightened that no one dared to rush forward, stop the emperor, and protect the prince.
The prince was also stunned.
He is only a six-year-old child after all.
The person in front of him, even if he was drunk, was still his most beloved father.
His own father, how could he raise the butcher knife and chop at his own son?
He completely didn't realize that his drunk and crazy father might also turn into a devil...
Some dancers were so scared that they closed their eyes.
They collapsed on the ground, not daring to look at this bloody scene...
"Qiang——"
A sharp and sharp sound broke the tense atmosphere.
"Hold the emperor! Protect the prince!" A steady female voice resounded through the palace.
Everyone was frightened. They opened their eyelids a little in disbelief and squinted to see...
call……
so far so good! It's Her Royal Highness the Princess, come in time!
Liu Jiaren held the prince's small body in her arms, and the eunuchs and guards she brought with her held the emperor.
"Let me go! You are so presumptuous! So bold!"
"Let me go quickly! Liu Jiaren! You are so presumptuous! You colluded with Liang people and planned to rebel!"
"You want to seek power and usurp the throne! You want to kill your brother and seize the throne! I won't let you succeed!"
Liu Ziye was held up by someone, and he kicked his legs in an attempt to kick Liu Jiaren.
Liu Jiaren picked up the completely frightened Liu Qi and turned around and left the hall.
Liu Ziye's screams and curses were locked in the palace, but Liu Qi's frightened little face had not yet recovered.
Liu Jiaren hugged her nephew all the way until she left the emperor's palace.
"Are you still studying today? Or, go back to the East Palace and have a good sleep?"
Liu Jiaren touched his soft and tender face and said, "Brother Huang doesn't really want to kill His Highness, he is just... drunk."
Liu Qi's dazed eyes gradually gained focus.
He looked steadily at Liu Jiaren.
Liu Jiaren also looked at him and said, "You study hard. When you grow up, you can control the overall situation and control the ministers, and my aunt will return all these to you."
"But now, my aunt will use her power to protect you and me, Da Song."
"Wow..." Liu Qi groaned and cried in Liu Jiaren's arms.
"He is not my father! He is not!"
Liu Qi choked while crying, "He wants to kill me! I saw it! I saw the hatred in his eyes! He will kill me!"
"Auntie, the women in the harem lied to me. They asked me to persuade my father. They asked me to beware of my aunt..."
"But my father wanted to kill me, but my aunt saved me..."
Liu Jiaren's eyes were deep and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She stroked Liu Qi's little head very gently with her hand and said warmly, "His Royal Highness is still too young and will inevitably be deceived by others. When he is older in the future, he will be able to distinguish who is good to His Highness and who is taking advantage of His Highness. Count your own interests."
"I hate them! I hate my father! I will never be like my father!" Liu Qi said, clenching his immature little fists.
Liu Jiaren touched his head, but smiled and said nothing.
With Liu Ziye's "self-abandonment" and Liu Jiaren's various efforts.
The relationship between Song and Liang gradually improved.
The "students abroad" sent by the Song Dynasty to the Liang Kingdom have also been selected and set off for Liang.
The captives of Song State in Liang State have also been gathered and can finally return to their homeland.
"Look! Look at him!" An aunt from the Liang Kingdom suddenly pointed at the prisoners of the Song Kingdom and exclaimed.
