Chapter 12 The question will be released

At dinner, Yunshang pushed that she was not feeling well. He Xiangxiang casually used some snacks in the Qingfu Garden. Seeing that the sky was sinking little by little, Yunshang wiped her face and changed her fresh clothes. When she went out, she told Xiangxiang not to run around. She went out of Qingfu Garden and went straight to Louduo's study.

Yunshang walked through layers of bamboo, walked through the tortuous flower path, and walked about a cup of tea before coming to Louduo's study. In the study, a remnant lamp is like a bean, with a faint light.

Yun Shang stood outside the door and took a deep breath. Then he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in." Lou Duo's low voice came from the room. Yunshang felt that her heart was shocked, but one of her feet had stepped in.

Lou Duo was only a little surprised to see her and put the brush in his hand on the pen holder with the crane pattern. "What's the matter?"

Yunshang nodded, sweat gradually oozed from the palm of her hand, and shook her head again.

Lou Duo frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong or nothing?"

Yunshang found a beginning in her heart what she had thought about in advance and pretended to glance at his bookcase. "My father didn't rest so late, so Yunshang came to have a look."

"Well," Lou Duo heard her say so, so he lowered his head and continued to read his official documents. You're not feeling well today. Go to bed early.

Yunshang hummed, but did not move. "What's wrong with my father recently? Yunshang is willing to share it for my father."

After saying this sentence, Yunshang secretly squeezed a cold sweat for herself, and at the same time, Lou Duo's low head finally raised it. His eyes, which were as sharp as eagles and falcons, were slightly softened when they looked at their young daughter.

"It's something on the court, and it's a little overstretched." After Lou Duo said that, he was also surprised. He didn't know why he could calmly say his innermost words to this daughter.

"Please ask your father to make it clear why you are so tight?" She asked, and there was a faint smell of bamboo in her voice. As long as he talks about it, as long as he is willing to believe in himself, she is sure that she can conquer him with her wisdom.

Lou Duo meditated for a moment before slowly said, "Do you know that there is an island country called Hanhai Kingdom in the east of our Dafeng Dynasty?"

Yunshang nodded and heard Lou Duo continue to say, "It is this small country that has been subject to my Dafeng Dynasty. In recent years, it has frequently issued provocations. The last time we had a negotiation with him in Dongmengguan, but there was no result. After a year, they made a comeback and even threatened that if I If they don't agree to their request, they will go to war with us.

Yunshang listened carefully and felt that Xiangxiang meant the same as what he said, and half of his heart calmed down. "So what are their requirements?"

Speaking of this, Lou Duo's eyebrows were a little twisted, as if he was talking about his annoyance. "The small country of Hanhai also dares to say that it wants to ask me for three small islands on the east coast."

"What does your father think?"

"This is not workable." Lou Duo stood up from his chair and paced back and forth in the room. "Once such things that undermine the national body and damage the prestige of the country are agreed, how will the Dafeng Dynasty control other affiliated small countries? If they all come to learn from Hanhai, won't the Dafeng Dynasty be divided up?

Yunshang lamented in her heart that this was the truth, but...

"Why didn't the father report to the court and didn't agree to them, that's it."

Lou Duo snorted softly, "It's not easy to talk about it!" The military officers in the court and the middle of the war are mainly fighting, and the civil servants are in harmony. The whole government and the opposition have been divided into two factions. They can't be of the same heart and morality, so how can they be consistent with the outside world?

Yun Shang took a step forward and said, "There must be some reason for the civil servants to make peace."

Lou Duo's footsteps stagnated, and he stood next to the bookcase with his hands behind his hands behind his side. "Dafeng's previous years, natural disasters continued, and the treasury was already empty..."

Sure enough, in any era, money can make ghosts grind, and it is difficult to walk without money. Even if this matter is magnified to a dynasty, it can't escape this vulgar law of money.

"In this case, isn't it difficult for the court to ride a tiger now? Hardly, the conditions of the treasury are not enough to start a war. If you show weakness, you will lose the national prestige... This matter is really difficult. Yunshang said this and took two steps forward. When he saw the tiled map on the Louduo's bookcase, he bent down and looked carefully and pointed to a place with his finger, "Is this Hanhai Kingdom mentioned by his father?"

Lou Duo said without bowing his head at all, "Just move three fingers to the southeast."

Yunshang meditated on this map for a long time and let out a "h" for a long time.

Lou Duo glanced at her, and Yunshang looked up and said in surprise, "Although Hanhai Kingdom is only a short distance from my Dafeng Dynasty, but... Isn't this country closer to it? Moreover, if you connect it with the map of the Dafeng Dynasty..."

Lou Duo's eyes flashed, took a step forward, grabbed the map in his hand and watched it carefully. Sure enough, if the two places are connected, it can form a situation of encircling the Hanhai Kingdom.

"But if this move is to be implemented, it must join hands with the Cangwu country in the south. The lord of Cangwu is not a person who likes alliances with other countries." Lou Duo said another layer of hidden worries.

Yunshang smiled gently and pointed to a small island in the south and said, "I used to hear that the world is full of profit, and the world is bustling and profitable. Even the monarch of a country is not immune to this truth. If we can give one of the three small islands that were supposed to be given to the Hanhai Kingdom to Cangwu as a thank-you gift, maybe the lord of Cangwu will also be moved.

Lou Duo fell into meditation, "It's just a small island. I'm afraid he won't see it."

Yunshang shook her head and said, "Father, this is not good. Father, please think about it carefully. If we really have a war with Hanhai, in addition to the damage on both of us, the most vulnerable is the Cangwu Kingdom next to us. I heard that in Cangwu, the most prosperous business trips are in the middle and east, and here..." She put her finger on one place and pointed to Lou Duo, "And this place is too close to our main battlefield."

She said in an orderly manner. With her analysis, Lou Duo's eyes gradually glowed. The previous haze turned into a hustle and bustle. Yunshang continued, "It can not only avoid the disaster of war, but also get an unexpected benefit. If my father is the lord of Cangwu, how will my father choose?"

Lou Duo carefully thought about what Yunshang said, circled a few places on the map with the tip of the pen, and nodded slightly. A stone in Yunshang's heart gradually fell to the ground. At least, he listened to what he said.

However, just after Yunshang relaxed, Lou Duo's eyes suddenly changed when she looked at her.

Maybe she underestimated the man opposite. He is the capital of the dynasty, the prime minister of Yipin. Will he have made his own deliberate plans...

His sharp eyes like an falcon fell on her eyes. It was the first time that Yunshang was stared at like this. He only felt that the cold sweat in the palm of his hand was getting more and more, so slippery that he could hardly hold the fist that had been hidden in his sleeve.

After about a bag of cigarettes passed, Lou Duo put his eyes on the map again, "Yunshang."

"There it is." Yunshang felt that her voice was so dry.

Lou Duo paced a few steps aside with his hands and stopped. This time he didn't look into her eyes. "Your proposal is very good. When I go to court tomorrow, I will report to the court, and I promise you will praise."

Yunshang took a step forward, "Does your father think Yunshang wants fame and fortune?"

"Otherwise? You came here late at night to analyze the current malpractices, and what you said is well-founded. If you can solve this dispute with Hanhai, isn't it a great achievement? Lou Duo said and relaxed his tone, "My Dafeng dynasty is civilized. A woman can be both an official and a high-ranking official. The current queen is the former prime minister."

Yunshang was very surprised to hear that. In her impression, women in ancient times were all three and four virtues, and they could not appear at will. What she wanted was that women without talent was virtue. Except when she was in power, she had never heard of a woman who could become an official at will.

Seeing that she was stunned, Lou Duo waved his hand and said, "It's late at night. Go back and have a rest."

Yunshang blinked and showed a little surprise, "Father thinks that Yunshang came today to ask his father for fame and fortune?"

Lou Duo frowned.

Yunshang continued, and her tone was very sincere, "It's true that people in the world are for the benefit of the world, but my daughter doesn't have such a big ambition. She doesn't want to be an official, let alone an official. Yunshang said these words to her father today to share her father's worries. If she must say her daughter's selfishness, it's not without."

Lou Duo waited for her to continue.

Yunshang exhaled a long breath, as if he had finally said his long-cherished wish in his heart. "Yunshang was used to being rude in the countryside of Yangzhou, and it was difficult to adapt to the strict rules in the prime minister's mansion for a while. Yunshang wanted to move to another courtyard. Please ask your father to give me permission."

This time, Lou Duo was stunned. He didn't expect that Yunshang had said for such a long time just to move out of the prime minister's mansion.

"I'll get back to you after I think about it." Lou Duo answered casually.

Yunshang restrained her as a courtesy, "Please ask your father to rest early. Yunshang has left."

It was not until she walked out of the study and into the mottled bamboo shadow that Yunshang loosened the fist she had been holding. She looked down and saw that several deep nail marks fell on the sweaty palm. She couldn't help smiling bitterly. The first step of the Great Wall has been so difficult, and her mind has been tested like this. So will she take the next road more difficult? Looking up at the moon, the moonlight poured down like water and slowly enveloped her whole body. Yunshang only felt indescribably cool and comfortable. She found a rockery that was still smooth, closed her clothes, and lay down.

Yunshang, who was relaxed in her heart, soon became confused. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she faintly heard the voice of the people. She didn't want to pay attention to the secret talk in the high wall and deep courtyard, but the content of the secret talk had to make her surging up. There is nothing left.
