Chapter 634: Chapter 634-Disaster

Fortunately, Xie Xian did not return empty-handed. The Seventeenth Prince had reduced the benefits that Liang had promised Rouran by another twenty percent.
It was a full 30% inside and outside.
It wasn’t that Emperor Yong Ping looked down on him, but he didn’t want him to act like a big shot. If he brought back the things, King Rouran would think that Daliang had gone back on their word and didn’t give them enough, thus deducting their share.
“Why did you send the seventeenth prince to Daliang? Is he smart? Did the
Rouran King not take Liang seriously?
Emperor Yong Ping called Zhuge Fu over.
On the day Zhuge Fu returned to Jiankang, the Emperor not only welcomed the Rouran diplomatic mission, but also praised Zhuge Fu. The Ministry of Rites issued an imperial edict on the same day. Zhuge Fu was appointed Minister of Justice, and his son Zhuge Shu was appointed as a fourth-grade general of the cavalry, in charge of the affairs of the guards.
In terms of friendship with Rouran, it was definitely Zhuge Fu.
He was in his thirties, tall and slender, with a righteous face and two long strands of beard on his chest. His temperament was completely different from Xie Xian’s, calm and steady, his eyes bright.
However, when it came to the Seventeenth Prince of Rouran, Zhuge Fu still had something to say.”He is straightforward and single-minded. He was also born from the most beloved concubine of the Rouran King, so the Rouran King values him very much. When I went to lobby, it was all thanks to the
Seventeenth Prince’s strong support.”
“This person can be used.”
When he said this, Emperor Yong Ping did not understand, but Xie Xian also understood. Zhuge Fu was trying to support the Seventeenth Prince of Rouran to serve Daliang. However, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. No matter how long one’s hand was, it would not be able to reach there.
Even though he did not agree with Zhuge Fu’s intention to interfere in Roman’s affairs, Xie Xian did not openly oppose it.
“Then what do you mean?”
“If this marriage can’t go through, then since she’s a useful person, then she can’t harm others.”Emperor Yong Ping was a kind and honest person. In fact, he was also thinking too much.
“That’s right. I can’t cheat others. No one knows better than us what kind of
person the Yiyang County Lord is.”
Xie Xian expressed,”Why are you asking me? Don’t ask me. I don’t know anything about your family.”
Of course, he would just reject Yiyang County Head from the bottom of his heart. Those who had wanted to seduce him and framed his wife would just not flaunt in front of him. As for whether he should go to Rouran or not, it was not within his consideration.
Did he really think that going to Rouran was to enjoy life?
It might be even worse than being exiled to the border. Otherwise, why would the princesses in the palace be so frightened when they heard that they were going to marry into Rouran? They wanted to run to the emperor every day to cry and hide?
There was a reason for this.
“This is a matter of the royal family.Jt’s still up to Your Majesty to decide.” Xie Xian didn’t stick to the pot and directly threw it to Emperor Yong Ping.
Whether he wanted to or not, it would depend on the Seventeenth Prince’s determination, right?
Emperor Yong Ping was helpless as well. He looked at Zhuge Fu and said,”What do you mean, dear minister? Do you really want Yiyang County Head to marry over?”
Zhuge Fu asked,”What do you mean by ’usable’?” Was it a disaster that made people excited?
“Of course I don’t have such intentions!” Zhuge Fu and Emperor Yong Ping had the same opinion. They were both good allies and shouldn’t cheat others like this.
Although Zhuge Fu came to Jiankang City later, he had still heard of the former Princess Anji’s name. In fact, it was impossible to pretend that he had never heard of her. Even the two emperors had mentioned her to him when they were crazy…How was he supposed to pretend?
They had all experienced storms and seen rainbows. If they continued to pretend to be pure, wouldn’t it be unwise?
“Why don’t Your Majesty agree first?”Zhuge Fu muttered.
Emperor Yong Ping had a question mark on his face.
Or was there something wrong with his ears?
“Beloved Minister…” Are you crazy?
“Please listen to me slowly.”
This small matter was not difficult for Zhuge Fu. He had always been able to come up with an idea. In the past, he was the chief historian of the Kuaiji Prefecture. He was able to come up with ideas and manage things easily. It was his old profession.
” Since the Seventeenth Prince has a request, we naturally have nothing to say here However, there are some things that we have to make clear to the Rouran King. We agreed to marry the Princess, but the Seventeenth Prince has taken a fancy to a ‘county head’. Moreover, he’s a divorcee who’s cultivating in the temple…”
“Moreover, the Seventeenth Prince wishes to reduce the benefits we promised to Rouran to seventy percent. This will require discussion with the Rouran
King.”
■■ Although the Rouran King had made it clear that all the 17 princes can make decisions, our Daliang Empire believes that this is a serious matter, and it’s best to work with the Rouran King-Negotiations.”
Emperor Yong Ping slapped his thigh.”
Xie Xian said,” Daliang and Rouran have been going back and forth for at least a month. If we include the uncertain factors of North Wu, the news will be intercepted halfway, and it will be a long time. Is this what Zhuge Fu meant by the Seventeenth Prince being ‘usable’?”
Did he misunderstand, or did Zhuge Chong use the wrong words?
Obviously, even though Xie Xian didn’t say anything, Zhuge Fu was able to see through Xie Xian’s gaze. He smiled and said,”We will only discuss with the Seventeenth Prince first. If he gives up on his idea, it will be even better.”
“What if he agrees?” Emperor Yong Ping asked. He felt that the Seventeenth Prince’s brain had been kicked by a donkey and was not normal.
For the sake of one person… Pei, she was his aunt after all, so it was not appropriate to say it too harshly.
However, he was really not a good person.
How much sh * t did he have to put in his brain to fall for this person?
It was like a tortoise looking at a green bean.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid of hurting the stability, unity, and friendship between Daliang and Rouran, he would have been happy to throw such a hot potato far away into the mountains.
The problem was Rouran!
Emperor Yong Ping had always wanted to be stable. It was best if Rouran could contain North Wu, which was the most beneficial for Daliang.
Zhuge Fu said,”If he agrees, then let’s wait.” The world of Daliang was full of flowers and flowers. If his eyes were blinded, then it would be my mistake. It did not matter whether he could use it or not.”
“If you can use it, then use it. If you don’t use it, then let him be.
He never thought that the Rouran King would agree to this marriage.
It wasn’t that they were looking down on the Imperial Family’s county head. He was too unpresentable. Anyone with a brain would have to think about why Daliang was unwilling to even bestow the title of princess to Prince Rouran. This was too easy for Daliang.
Emperor Yong Ping was so happy that he couldn’t see his eyes. Zhuge Fu was indeed the one who united Rouran. Be it his brain or eloquence, they were all top-notch.
“Minister Xie, look…Feasible?”
“It’s up to His Majesty.” What did it have to do with him?
Thus, Emperor Yong Ping happily handed over the task of dealing with the Rouran Prince to Zhuge Fu. He did not want to deal with a retard.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Fu received a firm reply from the Seventeenth Prince of Rouran. He was willing to negotiate with the King of Rouran without even thinking about it. He even had a face full of gratitude. He believed that this was the result of Zhuge Fu’s efforts to deal with him. To say that he was deeply grateful was a bit of an exaggeration. Anyway, he was so excited that his snot was about to spurt out. He held Zhuge Fu’s hand and refused to let go..
