After Xiao Yuan made the decision, he immediately sent a letter to Lu Yunyan in case something unexpected happened.
After receiving this letter, Lu Yunyan's mood was somewhat complicated. It was inevitable to be nervous and worried.
The matter was of great importance, so she immediately summoned the counselor Wang Su in the palace study and asked for his opinion from the side.
After all, she was a woman, it was about marriage, and it was in front of her own courtiers, so she was naturally embarrassed to speak out, and her face was slightly red.
Although the words were not stated clearly, Wang Su was so shrewd and observed words and deeds. He already understood the general idea and said respectfully: "Your Majesty and the King of Qin have an engagement. Regardless of state affairs, family affairs, emotions or reasons, our country cannot break the engagement."
His meaning was very clear, but Lu Yunyan was still a little worried: "But if this is the case, I'm afraid there will still be problems with the ministers."
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much." Wang Su said seriously: "This matter is because the gentry and civil servants are worried about their own future. Although there are voices of opposition, the resistance is not great. These people can be appeased."
After hearing this, Lu Yunyan pondered for a moment and was about to say something else. At this moment, Fengqing came to report: "Your Majesty, General Yanqi is here."
"Quick announcement."
"No." Feng Qing retreated.
Wang Su didn't expect that Yan Qi would be summoned as well. He immediately and wisely saluted: "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
"No, you can stay here. I have something else to discuss with you later."
"yes."
Not long after, Yan Qi entered. Naturally, he knelt down and saluted first, and then stood respectfully below with Wang Su.
Lu Yunyan glanced at him first, and then asked directly without any nonsense: "The general's residence and property are all in Xuanzhou, right?"
"Yes." Yan Qi returned respectfully.
"Sell them all." Lu Yunyan said concisely.
"Ah?" After hearing this, Yan Qi didn't react for a while, and Wang Su was also shocked.
Knowing that the two might have misunderstood, Lu Yunyan continued: "Shuai Yan will always be Shuai Yan. This is my promise to you."
At this time, Yan Qi also came back to his senses. Hearing this, he was shocked and hurriedly raised his hands and bent down: "Yes, I obey!"
"How is it in the army?" Lu Yunyan asked casually again.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Yan Qi said seriously.
"Yes." Lu Yunyan nodded and waved his hand: "You go down first."
"Promise, I will leave." Yan Qi saluted respectfully.
This conversation was very simple, but after Yan Qi left, Wang Su immediately said: "The king is wise, and the humble minister is heartbroken."
Needless to say, Queen Xuan's method was simple. She only asked Yan Qi to do such a simple action, but it showed the position of the Xuan Kingdom's military department. The sale of the mansion and property by the general was a signal to the ministers.
After Wang Su returned, he immediately started to follow suit, and as expected, this explosive news quickly spread among the ministers.
Censor's Mansion.
Fu Qingyi hurriedly asked to see him. He had just been invited into the living room, and before tea was served, he said urgently: "Master Dou, have you heard that Yan Shuai has begun to sell off his property?"
"I've heard a little bit about it." Dou Jianzhang was a first-class official after all. Compared with him, he was naturally much calmer. While speaking, he picked up the tea cup and blew the hot air slowly.
Seeing this, Fu Qingyi undoubtedly became more anxious: "Oh, my Lord Censor, what time of day it is now, and you can still be so leisurely."
"Otherwise, what should I do?" Dou Jianzhang glanced at him: "They want to sell it, can you stop it?"
"But this, this." Fu Qingyi paused and said, "The Yan family is a big family with so many family members and servants. Is this Yan Qi crazy?"
"Haha, Master Fu, do you think he is crazy?" Dou Jianzhang chuckled and said, "This is going to change. Now the prime minister is in Qin State temporarily holding the ministerial order. If Yan Qi moves to Qinzhou again, Master Fu thinks, next what happens?"
"Ah?" After receiving this reminder, Fu Qingyi's eyes suddenly widened and he stammered: "What the censor means is..."
"Master Fu, it's better to make plans early and find a way out for yourself." Dou Jianzhang interrupted him and said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Fu Qingyi swallowed subconsciously and his eyes began to move.
A few days later, Xuanguo held a court meeting.
At this time, Yan Qi's incident had already spread throughout the court and abroad, causing many ministers to discuss it.
In the court meeting hall, people lined up on the left and right after kneeling.
Lu Yunyan, dressed in royal robes and wearing a royal crown, was sitting on the throne and once again opened the topic of marriage.
He said: "I and the King of Qin have already made a marriage contract. Now, when the State of Qin comes to present state affairs and talks about marriage, how should we respond?"
This is a typical question of asking for directions.
When all the ministers heard this, they all bowed slightly and stood below and looked at each other.
Wang Sugang was about to go out, but Fu Qingyi stood up first, raised his hands and said: "I think that since the engagement has been finalized and known to the world, if our country goes against its promise, it will not only anger the Qin State, but also break the trust of the world. , therefore, there is no retreat at all.”
Before, Fu Qingyi followed Yao Tingyu's opposition, but now his attitude has changed drastically. This is not only related to the Shangshu Ling, but also has an important connection with Yan Qi's sale of property.
Nowadays, both the civil and military ministers of Xuanguo seem to have given signals. If they object again, what is the point? It will definitely go against the emperor's will.
Whether it is a way out or a wise way to protect oneself, as soon as Fu Qingyi finished speaking, many ministers began to express their opinions. Among these opinions, there was no longer strong opposition, but more of a disguised form of opposition. go along.
Some things cannot be solved by force.
Seeing the change in the attitude of the ministers, Lu Yunyan was overjoyed, and his face turned red when he thought about the marriage.
After the court meeting, her worries finally subsided. As soon as she returned to the palace study, she summoned Qing Yi Wei Yang Zhao and directly ordered:
"Within ten days, all uneasy factors will be eliminated."
"Send an order to Xie Hongling to increase the defense of Xuanzhou."
"Tell Yan Qi to wait for my king's order."
"No!" The latter responded with a loud voice.
At the same time, Qin State.
In the study room of the palace, Su Yi, Ye Cheng, Liang Yuan, Liu Yuzhi and other important officials stood.
Before preparing to welcome the bride, Xiao Yuan was also issuing royal orders one after another.
"The news of the marriage will be announced to the world."
"Order the local Wuwei Prefecture to rectify public security issues."
"Transfer the Qinzhou army to deploy defenses along the way."
"Tell local officials to cooperate in preparations."
"There can be no mistakes in Qin Xuan's matter."
"As soon as the news comes out, in order to sabotage this matter, Wu Chuling and other countries will inevitably choose an opportunity to assassinate him at an important road halfway."
"The Duwei Battalion must take precautions before they happen and kill all possible assassinations!"
