Jiang Pengji acted as if she did not see the master's ugly expression. She suddenly picked up the bamboo slips on the table, flipped through them, and said, "I read an interesting story yesterday. It was about eight years ago, when Master Yuanjing went to the Northern Borderline to lobby and protected the three cities of the Northern Borderline by himself."
Speaking of this, the master seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned pale.
Jiang Pengji threw the bamboo slips on the ground and said loudly, "Peace talks? The three cities have not been returned. How can we talk? "
"Do you remember 12 years ago, when the former emperor passed away and the new emperor succeeded the throne, the three tribes of the Northern Borderline took advantage of the turbulence in Dongqing to attack the six cities at the border and slaughter more than 100,000 people? This battle has been going on for three whole years, and countless soldiers have died. Six cities are still in the hands of the Northern Borderline. On the day of the peace talks, the three tribes of the Northern Borderline came with the conditions to force Dongqing to cede three more cities, bow their heads, and pay annual tribute.
None of the scholars in Dongqing would ever forget this incident. It was a humiliation that could never be washed away in their entire lives.
When the royal family of Dongqing advocated for peace talks, there were many strong Confucian scholars who protested to the death.
"In the end, Master Yuanjing fought with the barbarians of the three tribes and got back three of the cities after much difficulty … Of course, outsiders like us don't know the situation at that time. We only know that the barbarians of the Northern Borderline were only willing to return three cities. The other three cities were still in the hands of the three tribes. The people of the three cities became the ninth class untouchables in the eyes of the barbarians of the three tribes. Do you still remember?"
For the three cities, the friction between Dongqing and the three tribes of the Northern Borderline at the border had not stopped for years.
"If we continue to negotiate now, the three cities will never be returned. That Great Confucian is so shameless. Just a few words, a few curses, and a few empty and stupid words, and he's actually willing to hand over the three cities."
Peace talks? Haha, if you want to talk, we can talk about it after the three cities are returned.
It was ridiculous that the great Confucian scholar thought that he could give away the Empress Concubine and hope that she could enlighten the barbarians of the three tribes of the Northern Borderline.
Haha, it was such a noble task. Why not sacrifice and send all the women in his family for peace talks?
"Of course, in addition to this, there is another important reason why we can't negotiate. It's the four factions of Nanman."
Jiang Pengji had seen the Great Universal Geographical Map hanging in the study yesterday. As one of the five countries, Dongqing's geographical location was somewhat awkward.
Not only was it connected to the three tribes of the Northern Borderline, but it also had a junction with the four tribes of Nanman. Unfortunately, these two places were full of aggressive tough bones. If they were not completely destroyed, the other party would rise from the dead sooner or later. Their vitality was as strong as the insect race.
"We absolutely can't give the three tribes of the North borderline any time to breathe. Once the peace talks start, we'll give them enough time to recuperate. It'll undoubtedly be nurturing a tiger that will invite disaster. When the time comes, the three tribes of the North borderline and the four factions of Nanman will join forces to attack Dongqing … Haha …"
That would be a direct checkmate!
"Nonsense. The four factions of Nanman are now at war with Nansheng Kingdom. Why would they care about Dongqing?"
"Fight? Heh … "Jiang Pengji smiled as she looked at the young man who had spoken." Nansheng will be utterly defeated soon. "
There were five countries in the world: Dongqing, Nansheng, Xichang, Beiyuan, and Zhongzhao, which was located in the center of the Central Plains. Dongqing was not the weakest, but it was not the strongest either. Nansheng had been at war with the four factions of Nanman for the past two years. In the past two months, there had been many reports of victory, but it would be over soon …
Da Zhuangzhu Furen: "Ah, I feel like I've learned history for nothing. QAQ, so the streamer has traveled through an imaginary dynasty."
Qu 'er: "I just wanted to show off and talk about it, but I was slapped in the face in the next second. It hurts so much."
Huoyihuojiaogao: "It's not really imaginary. It can only be said that it's another dimension with a different historical development trajectory. There are traces to follow."
Shou Shitou Guan: "It's definitely not our ancient times. Otherwise, it would feel like a spoiler. The unknown variables are more interesting."
Cafeteria Dafan Auntie: "Am I the only one who cares about Master Yuanjing's setting?"
"Hmph, why are you so sure that Nansheng will lose?"
Although Nansheng was also Dongqing's enemy, they were still of the Yan and Huang lineages. The four factions of Nanman were foreign tribes to them.
"Because there are too many ignorant people like you." Jiang Pengji had always liked to stand straight. When she lifted her chin and closed her eyes, she gave off an oppressive feeling, as if she was looking down on all living things. "In less than two months, Nansheng will lose. Just wait and see."
When the time came, it might not be as simple as ceding three cities or giving the emperor's concubine a marriage alliance.
Liu Lanting was naturally shy, but she was not a girl who liked to submit to her fate. She loved to read news about the world. Occasionally, she would disguise herself and go to the teahouses and taverns to listen to the news. That was usually the place where news circulated and gossip spread.
Jiang Pengji had her memories. She had glanced at the Great Universal Geographical Map hanging in the study room and knew the geographical locations of the five kingdoms. From what she could see, Nansheng was indeed very dangerous. She had also read some of the news that Liu Lanting had transcribed, so she was not completely ignorant of the news …
In fact, it was not just Nansheng. Jiang Pengji was not optimistic about the current Dongqing.
According to the information that Liu Lanting had gathered, if Dongqing agreed to the peace talks, she was afraid that within ten years, there would be a huge military disaster.
Jiang Pengji bent down to pick up the bamboo slips that she had thrown on the ground. She casually flicked the ash off.
The old master was very angry at first. She had slandered the great scholar in public and said such harsh words. It was easy to make people feel disgusted. If the great scholar heard about what happened that day, Jiang Pengji might even make things difficult for her when she entered the officialdom.
However, listening to her solemn vow, the old master was a little hesitant because he himself did not agree to the peace talks.
As long as he was a scholar, he would always have a sense of pride.
Dongqing inherited the Xia lineage and called itself a kingdom of heaven. Why would it be willing to bow down to the barbarians?
Looking at the group of confused students, the old master's temples ached. He sighed to himself. As expected of Liu She's son. Both father and son were troublesome.
"Your cousin is quite knowledgeable. What he said was not without reason. It's a pity that most of the important officials in the court are in favor of peace talks. The government is also interested in negotiating with the royal court of the three tribes of the Northern Borderline. They hope that the Northern Borderline will marry the Empress Concubine to the Second Prince … "
Outside the school, Feng Jin, who was dressed in a white and green robe, looked at the scene from afar. He had an indescribable expression on his face.
"Haha, Lanting used to be very reserved and gentle. After the ordeal, he's showing signs of revealing his abilities."
The person who spoke was Liu Lanting's cousin, Liu Heng. He was the eldest son of Liu Lanting's father's biological brother.
"If there's a chance, I'd like to have a good chat with him."
Feng Jin looked away. Was that really a girl in the house?
Liu Heng said, "What's so difficult about that? Call him over and I'll introduce him to you. "
Liu Heng knew Feng Jin's background. If his cousin could befriend him, that would be the best.
Feng Jin thanked him, but he felt a little uneasy. Jiang Pengji had left a deep impression on him that night.
However, it was rare to find someone who shared the same opinion as him and had such a tacit understanding with him. He was secretly looking forward to their meeting later.
He wondered if Jiang Pengji would be surprised if she knew his identity.
Feng Jin smiled and said meaningfully, "Yaozhi, you may not know this, but your cousin … is a wonderful person."
