    ?

    "This is impossible, the prince is in his prime, how could he die?"

    Zhu Houzhao still didn't believe it. Zhu Houde was a pillar of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If Zhu Houde died, it would be a loss for them in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

    "It was the news from Huo Xin that the prince's soldiers were trapped in the Taihang Mountains, and finally"

    Channing didn't continue talking.

    "Da Zhou, I am at odds with you." Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said, brothers of flesh and blood, this hatred is irreconcilable.

    "Where is the prince's body?"

    Zhu Houzhao continued to ask, if Zhu Houde died, he must be buried in a generous way, according to the national ceremony.

    When Zhu Houzhao asked, Qian Ning and Changsunyou glanced at each other. He came here together for this matter. After receiving Huo Xin's news, Qian Ning immediately found Changsunyou and discussed the situation with him.

    After the two decided, they came to the palace together.

    "The prince is in Zhou Heng's hands."

    Channing said hesitantly.

    "In Zhou Heng's hands?" Zhu Houzhao thought he heard it wrong. Zhu Houde is dead, why is he still in Zhou Heng's hands? What purpose does Zhou Heng want the corpse for? "Why?"

    Zhu Houzhao asked a question.

    "Reporting to the emperor, Zhou Heng wants to exchange the prince for the territory west of Taihang Mountain." Changsun You stepped forward and said.

    Zhu Houzhao immediately narrowed his eyes, his face became cold and very unfriendly, his face was frosty, making people look timid.

    "Wishful thinking."

    Zhu Houzhao said angrily that he still wanted the land to the west of Taihang Mountain.

    This is simply insatiable.

    "The emperor calm down."

    Seeing Zhu Houzhao's anger, Changsunyou and Qian Ning immediately bowed down.

    "I'm not angry with you two, I'm angry with Zhou Heng, you get up." Zhu Houzhao asked Changsunyou and Qian Ning to get up.

    "I don't know what the two of you think about this matter?"

    Zhu Houzhao asked.

    The two did not answer.

    "What do you think, Your Majesty?" Zhang Sunyou asked Zhu Houzhao back. They must first know what Zhu Houzhao means, and then look at what they mean.

    "I disagree." Zhu Houzhao said with a wave of his hand.

    Southern Tang has never been humiliated like this, Zhu Houzhao disagreed with this matter, "At worst, we will die. If we don't return the prince's body, I will send troops to fight and see what they will do." Zhu Houzhao said with clenched fists.

    After hearing what Zhu Houzhao meant, Changsunyou and Qian Ning also had plans in their hearts.

    "Your Majesty, I do not agree with your proposal. At this time, it is not suitable for us to fight again in the Southern Tang Dynasty. We should rest and recuperate, and mainly appease the people." Changsunyou said his proposal.

    He knew Zhu Houzhao's meaning, but Zhang Sunyou still said his own meaning, even if his own meaning and the emperor's meaning were somewhat contrary, he would still say his own thoughts, because he is a loyal minister, and a loyal minister is not afraid of death when he advises.  What he has to do is put the overall situation first.

    "What do you mean? You mean to make me bow to Zhou Heng and Nantang to bow to Da Zhou?"

    Zhu Houzhao said angrily, the words of Changsunyou really made Zhu Houzhao angry.

    "The emperor endures hardships, and he is a master. Only when we learn to tolerate, can we have a better future and development. Now that there are civil strife in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the people are suffering. They have written to the court to strike. If the court fights again, I am afraid  It¡¯s all about the hearts of the people, it¡¯s easy to lose the hearts of the people, but it¡¯s hard to build them up again.¡±

    Zhang Sunyou gave his reasons.

    The hearts of the people are the key to a country, and whether the dynasty can continue to go on. Without the hearts of the people, even if you own tens of thousands of miles, it will have no effect.

    They must start from the perspective of the common people.

    "Secondly, the prince has a very high reputation in the army. If the soul of the prince cannot return to his hometown and the fallen leaves return to his roots, it will make the soldiers feel cold. If the soldiers feel cold, they will not fight for us in the Southern Tang Dynasty. At that time, the territory west of Taihang Mountain  Compared with the loss at that time, it is nothing."

    Changsun You said.

    Territory cession is only a short-lived matter, as long as they recuperate and regain their strength, they can still snatch it back in the future.

    There is absolutely room for this matter.

    "One more thing, the emperor ceded the territory and exchanged it for the prince. On the surface, the emperor bowed his head, but this is not an incentive, which inspired the hatred of the Great Zhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty. With hatred, people will have motivation.  , everyone will not say that the emperorIt's wrong, everyone will admire the emperor, support and love the emperor even more, and feel that the emperor would rather bear the eternal infamy of ceding the territory, but also let the soldiers return to their roots. This is a kind of emperor's grace.  "

    ? Chang Sunyou persuaded Zhu Houzhao.

    Everything has two sides, a bad side and a good side.

    Comparing the two with each other, if the good side outweighs the bad side, then this matter is worth it.

    The eldest grandson and the young gave examples one by one.

    "I can't say enough about you!" In the end, Zhu Houzhao directly waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Sunyou's words.

    "Your Majesty, I also agree with the words of the eldest grandson."

    Qian Ning said that Qian Ning was also horrified. The whole Southern Tang Neng and Zhu Houzhao dared to face it head-on, denying the emperor's proposal, except for Zhu Houde.

    These two people are the pillars of both civil and military.

    It's just that Zhu Houde is dead now.

    "Then you mean to cede the area west of Taihang Mountain to Da Zhou?"

    "Yes, this is only short-lived."

    Changsunyou said that people still need to be flexible. Some people think that territory is not allowed to be given up, and that territory is their life, but in Changsunyou's view, territory is just a tool they rely on for survival.

    Since it is a tool, it can be used.

    Territorial awareness is not that important in the eyes of elders and grandchildren.

    Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment.

    "Ready to play!"

    Zhu Houzhao agreed to Changsunyou's proposal. Changsunyou was right, ceding it to Dazhou was just a stopgap measure, and they could take it back in the future.

    "The emperor is wise." Changsun You said.

    "Then I will draw up the decree now."

    Zhu Houzhao said.

    "Your Majesty, you have to draw up two imperial decrees, one is the imperial decree to cede the west of Taihang Mountain, and the other is the imperial decree to welcome the prince to come." Changsun You reminded again.

    "Okay, but I know how to write the imperial decree in front of it, how do you think it should be written in the latter?" Zhu Houzhao asked Changsunyou and Qian Ning what they meant, but it was mainly Changsunyou, and Qian Ning was Jinyiwei, who was in charge of intelligence work.  He is not good at such things.

    "The prince should enjoy the Taimiao and welcome him with the emperor's etiquette." Zhang Sunyou said, they must give Zhu Houde the highest treatment for this matter.

    "good."

    Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate, and agreed frankly. In this respect, Zhu Houzhao is different from Emperor Guangxiao. Emperor Guangxiao would hesitate, hesitate for several days, and even waver in the end, but Zhu Houzhao would not. He did what he said, without any hesitation or wavering.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
