The Northern military border also needs time to recuperate, which was why Daqi agreed to peace talks.

As soon as he said this, another middle-aged man in a military general attire jumped out and agreed, “Your Majesty, what Count Wei Yuan said is very true, please think twice before acting!”

The civil ministers and military generals were each sticking to their own words, confronting each other with clear distinctions.

This made, Gu Jing’s complexion turned ugly, but tried his best to hold it in and maintain a calm and composed look as he retorted, “Imperial Father, Northern Yan has broken the peace treaty but that was before, also in the past, Qi and Northern Yan never really made peace. However, if the next king of Yan has Qi’s royal bloodline, he will not offend Qi again.”

Count Wei Yuan disagreed and raised his objection again: “Your Majesty, second prince Yelu is only a prince himself. Whether he can succeed to the throne is another matter! It’s not like Daqi will fight for the throne for him?!”

When Count Wei Yuan said this, even the few civil ministers present were swayed.

They also don’t want the two countries to go to war again, if Prince Yelu became the king and marry the third princess this was indeed a good way to make peace with the Northern Yan but as Count Wei Yuan said making Prince Yelu the king was a different matter!

“……” Gu Jing was momentarily speechless.

His calm and relaxed face could hardly contain its façade and felt that these generals were extremely hateful. When they heard about the Turkic horse, they all wanted to good look and associate themselves with him, and yet right now they were being unsightly!

And this Count Wei Yuan……

Gu Jing darted a glance at Count Wei Yuan, a shady glint swept across the bottom of his eyes but passed away in a flash.

This Count Wei Yuan was too blind, the daughter of the Yun family was the future consort, shouldn’t he help him instead of fighting him every time?!

“Imperial Father…” Gu Jing wanted to say something else but was interrupted by the emperor’s gesture of raising his hand.

The emperor quietly gazed at Count Wei Yuan, as he gently tap his index finger of his right hand twice on the armrest.

Count Wei Yuan who was bowing his head slightly raised his head to look at the emperor and seeing that the emperor was not annoyed at all, he immediately remember what his daughter had told him. With gritted teeth, he finally made up his mind.

Make a decision when it’s time to decide.

“Your Majesty,” Count Wei Yuan seized the opportunity to express his opinion, “The northern people are very ambitious, and I am afraid that their ambition will not die, so this general is willing to go to the northern border and guard it for Daqi. I ask the emperor to give this general permission!”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Count Wei Yuan meant.

Once Count Wei Yuan guards the northern border and holds a heavy military power, he must avoid suspicion and cannot let her daughter marry a royal son. Count Wei Yuan was not asking himself to go to the northern border, he was clearly refusing marriage for their Yun family.

The emperor was inwardly a little surprised but did not let it show on his face as he looked at Count Wei Yuan with measuring eyes.

Silence spread, and the imperial study was enveloped in defining silence.

Truth be told, Count Wei Yuan didn’t know what to do and only felt as if he was hanging in thin air, and layered of cold sweat broke out on his back as he continue to stiffly maintain his bowing posture with his hand clasped.

After a while, the emperor’s calm voice came above his head, “This emperor gives you permission.”

As soon as the words were spoken, Count Wei Yuan’s heart settled, and breathed a sigh of relief: their Yun family was a military family, and in fact, does not want to get involved with the battle for the crown, they would rather be a pure state official.

Moreover, judging from the emperor’s current attitude, it was obvious that he does not want the second prince to interfere in the affairs of the army.

Wei Yuan was very grateful, fortunately, he made the correct decision without hesitation.

Thinking of his daughter saying that the third young miss of the Qin family had given her advice, Count Wei Yuan felt a little complicated, whether it was the third miss Qin who accidentally heard something from the empress or the little girl could actually figure out the emperor’s intention with little details?

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Count Wei Yuan solemnly thanked his grace.

At this time, Gu Jing also reacted. His eyebrows were deeply furrowed and his face turned ugly in an instant.

He also understood what Count Wei Yuan meant, it was to refusing the marriage. The Yun family refused to marry their daughter to him, how dare the Yun family!!!

Gu Jing’s heart rolled with raging anger like a wave getting higher and higher if he hadn’t been afraid that they were in the imperial study he might have already exploded.

The emperor faintly glanced at Gu Jing before he said again, “I need to consider the matter of marriage. You are all dismissed.”

Gu Jing as well as Count Wei Yuan and the others all bowed their heads and shouted in unison, “These officials will now withdraw.”

Gu Jing and others retired, leaving only the emperor and Gu Zezhi in the imperial study.

Zhou Xin personally offered tea to Gu Zezhi.

The emperor stood up, with a different look in his eyes, and walked towards Gu Zezhi’s side, sighing: “Zezhi, you really got it right!”

Gu Zezhi took a shallow sip of hot tea and said with a smile, “Please I would also like to ask the emperor to help delay it. After a few days, I, Daqi will be able to take the three cities of Northern Yan’s Beimeng City, Tuli City, and Lunta City into the bag.”

The emperor loudly laughed, “Then this emperor will wait.”

The emperor was excited, but at the same time there was a bit of disbelief: Can Zezhi really do it?!

Ai, this Zezhi has such a tight mouth, he doesn’t even reveal anything to me, the emperor.
