Chapter 909 The traitor

As Emperor Wen finished speaking, Yun Zheng, Shen Luoyan and others were also stunned.

Sangjie wants to marry his daughter to the third brother?

What does Sanjay want to do?

On the one hand, she swallowed her anger and paid compensation to herself, and on the other hand, she made peace with the imperial court by marrying her daughter.

This doesn't offend either side?

Under normal circumstances, even if Sanjay wanted to marry a foreign princess, shouldn't he marry his daughter to himself?

Could it be that he still thinks his military power is inferior to that of the imperial court?

Or does this birdman have other considerations?

"Do you also feel something is wrong?"

Emperor Wen put down his chopsticks, frowned and asked Yun Zheng.

"Something is wrong indeed."

Yunzheng nodded slightly.

Emperor Wen frowned, "At first I thought the tribes in western Mo wanted to unite with the imperial court to suppress you, or to stabilize the imperial court and deal with you with all their strength! But now it seems that this is not what I thought!"

Yun Zheng nodded in agreement, "It's clear that the tribes in Moxi don't want to offend either side!"

Shen Luoyan tilted his head and asked, "Could it be that because the damage was too great, the tribes in Moxi also want to rest and recuperate?"

Don't offend either side and get back on good terms with both sides.

It's obvious that they don't want to start a war again!

Qin Liugan thought about it and said, "Don't say it, there is still this possibility! If it is true, it is a good thing!"

After all, both Yun Zheng and the imperial court needed to stop and recuperate.

As long as they are given two or three years to prepare again, he believes that they will be able to completely solve the problem of the tribes in western Mo!

Even if we cannot occupy the territories of the tribes west of the desert, we can at least make them not dare to fight again within the next fifty years.

"Something's wrong."

Yun Zheng and Emperor Wen spoke almost at the same time.

Listening to the voices of the father and son, several people couldn't help but feel secretly puzzled.

Isn't this wrong?

Shen Luoyan’s guess makes complete sense!

The tribes in western Mo have been fighting for two years in a row, and they have all deployed large armies.

A lot of food and grass must have been consumed, and a lot of land must have been left to waste.

In addition, after two years of fighting, the tribes in western Mo also lost about 100,000 troops.

The tribes in western Mo are now in urgent need of rest and recuperation!

"The tribes in Moxi are recuperating, and so are we!"

Yun Zheng pondered, "It is impossible for the people of the Western Desert tribes not to understand that we urgently need time to stabilize the Northwest Protectorate! Once we have completely stabilized the Northwest Protectorate, they will have no chance of winning if we go to war with the Western Desert tribes!"

Once they stabilized the Northwest Protectorate, they resumed production and farming.

Three years!

Three years at most!

Three years later, Yun Zheng was confident that he could completely wipe out all the tribes in Moxi without the imperial court sending a single soldier.

"Lao Liu is right!"

Emperor Wen nodded slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "I now suspect that the recuperation of the tribes in Moxi is secondary. The main thing is to let Lao Liu go to war with the court, so that my Daqian will fall into civil strife, and then look for opportunities from it!"

Two dogs fight, play off!

That’s a good idea.

“It may be more than that.”

Yun Zheng frowned and said, "I feel that the tribes in Moxi are playing a big game!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Wen became interested and asked, "Tell me more about it."

"This... I can't say anything now." Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "I just feel that their purpose is not limited to this. I will send people to infiltrate the tribes in Moxi to conduct a thorough investigation. We will see then!"

"Fine!"

In this case, Emperor Wen did not ask any further questions.

"Your Majesty, should we reject Sanjay's marriage proposal?"

At this time, Qin Liugan suddenly asked, "If our Chao really marries Sangjie, his daughter will probably fan the flames!"

"Refuse? How do you refuse?"

Emperor Wen glanced at Qin Liugan and said, "It is indeed not appropriate for the court to go to war with the tribes of Moxi now. No matter what their intentions are, it will be beneficial to us to temporarily stop the war through marriage. In addition, if I prevent the marriage, do you think the third brother and others will not be suspicious?"

If I really stand on the side of the third brother, I should fully support the marriage.

After all, the biggest beneficiary of the marriage is the third brother.

The tribes in western Mo took the initiative to propose marriage, which was another kind of victory for the third brother outside the battlefield.

It would also buy him time to weaken the powerful families and clans and expand his own influence.

If I try to stop the marriage, even if the third brother doesn't suspect me, Xu Shifu will.

From any perspective, he had no reason to stop the marriage.

Qin Liu was speechless and asked again: "Aren't you afraid that Yang Jin will fan the flames?"

"If she wants to stir up trouble, the third brother needs to have some ability!"

Emperor Wen didn't take it seriously. "The Third Brother is now afraid that the Sixth Brother will attack the Imperial City. Does he dare to take the initiative to go to war with the Sixth Brother? However, we do need to be on guard against her spying on important intelligence for the Moxi tribes."

Qin Liugan was speechless, "Can't the Crown Prince unite with the tribes of Moxi to deal with the Sixth Prince?"

"The court is not his one-man show!"

Emperor Wen smiled faintly, "If he wants to unite with outsiders to fight his own brothers, he must withstand the pressure from the ministers in the court! If he dares to do so, Xiao Wanchou will be the first one to disagree!"

It is possible that what Qin Liu dared to say is true.

But unless the third brother is completely out of his mind, he wouldn't dare to do that.

The key to joining forces with outsiders to fight a civil war is that the targets are still the heroes who opened up the territory.

Not to mention the ministers in the court, even the people of the world would not support the third brother.

If the third brother really did this and failed, he would have no way to survive.

"All right!"

Seeing that Emperor Wen was so confident, Qin Liugan didn't say anything more.

Yun Zheng didn't care about this matter.

He wouldn't mind if the third brother really did that.

The worst that can happen is rebellion!

I just don't want to rebel, not that I dare not rebel.

Having made up his mind, Yun Zheng poured another glass of wine for Emperor Wen with a smile, "I have something I want to ask you, Father."

"Oh, you're pouring the wine?"

Emperor Wen looked at his son with a playful expression, "Are you planning to ask for money or food?"

"Father, look at what you said. Even if I want money and food, I have to wait until after the autumn harvest, right?" Yun Zheng chuckled, "I really have something to ask you, Father."

"Talk about it."

Emperor Wen smiled.

Well, no money or food is needed.

This rebellious son is now asking him for money and food, but he really can't give it.

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "We have conquered Dayue. It is not appropriate to call this royal city the royal city anymore. I would like to ask you to change the name of the royal city. It would be better if it is a more meaningful name."

After listening to Yun Zheng's words, not to mention Emperor Wen and Qin Liu, even Shen Luoyan and Qin Qihu were a little confused.

That's it?

Why didn't he let Emperor Wen teach him how to resolve the predicament of the Northwest Protectorate?

Yun Zheng winked at the two of them and looked at Emperor Wen with anticipation.

Emperor Wen was busy thinking of a new name for the royal city and didn't notice the little movements between them.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Wen said excitedly: "Let's call it Wuding or Xiping!"

Emperor Wen was very happy to do this.

Which emperor would not be happy to rename the enemy's royal capital?

"Wuding, Xiping..."

Yun Zheng thought about it for a while, then said, "Both names are good, which one should we choose?"

Emperor Wen thought about it and excitedly decided: "Then we'll go to Xiping!"

"well!"

Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Although the Northwest Protectorate has been conquered, it is still facing many difficulties. I would like to ask you for some advice..."

As he spoke, Yun Zheng went on to describe the current difficulties faced by the Northwest Protectorate.

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Emperor Wen's face twitched suddenly.

"You are such a rebellious son. You gave me a taste of sweetness first, but in the end, you are waiting for me here, right?"
