On this day, the busiest people were not the Huns or the courtiers of Qin, but the eunuchs in the palace.

Weiyang called a dozen eunuchs in advance to search for information throughout the palace.

The little eunuchs were panting. They ran countless times in one day. In the end, they were all sweating profusely and ran slower and slower.

The news came like flowing water, and Weiyang's mood also went up and down, up and down.

"Report... report to the princess, Your Majesty ordered Chang Temple to serve as the chief, Li Xin, and Huai Guzi as assistants, to jointly guard the Huns."

"Report, three adults guessed that the Huns may offer treasures, horses, and land in Henan in order to be forgiven."

"Report. The Hun envoy Heishan was frightened and asked to see the emperor and apologize in person. Lord Fengchang has agreed."

Not long after, three young eunuchs came over one after another and reported the situation to Weiyang.

Poppy said from the side: "These Huns are still afraid."

Wei Yang hummed and said: "If they are willing to cede the land and pay compensation, it is not impossible to spare them."

Si Qin next to him also nodded.

Weiyang smiled at Siqin and said: "If half of your skirt can be exchanged for the land of Henan, you girl, I'm afraid your name will go down in history."

Siqin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Thanks to Confucius' depression, concepts such as ethics and chastity were not so strict at this time. Otherwise, Siqin would have to hang himself to show his innocence. How could he actively think about the other party's compensation like he does now?

Just as a few women were chatting, the next information took a turn for the worse.

"Report, after discussing with Li Si and other ministers, Your Majesty believes that Shatilie is an envoy of the Huns after all, and is a guest from afar, so it should not be too harsh. He plans to beat Shatilie fifty times, detain ten Huns as vassals, and release the rest.

return."

When Wei Yang heard this, he was immediately disappointed. This was really different from the previous cession of Henan land and compensation of gold and silver.

Si Qin sighed and smiled bitterly to lighten the atmosphere: "It seems that this slave will not be remembered in history."

Meiren Yu said from the side: "It is fair to detain ten Xiongnu as vassals. It does not hurt our face."

At this point, Wei Young could only nod her head, but she felt a little unhappy.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

As a result, at this moment, a young eunuch ran in with a frightened expression and said, "Princess, it's not good, something serious is going to happen."

Wei Yang was taken aback, stood up directly, and asked: "What happened again? Does the father want to absolve Shatilie?"

The young eunuch said: "No, Mr. Fu Yao just ordered his servants to report back. He said that the Huns proposed marriage to His Majesty."

Weiyang was a little sluggish: "What? Propose marriage?"

The young eunuch said: "The Huns said that Sha Tilie had tarnished the reputation of the princess and Siqin, and they felt guilty. So they decided to marry the princess and Siqin, and become a good friend of Qin and Jin as compensation."

Weiyang's face turned red with anger: "The Huns are so wanton."

She asked again: "What did the emperor say?"

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "The villain was busy reporting the news, and came running before His Majesty could express his position."

Wei Yang was so angry that she almost fainted: "Could it be that you deliberately want to kill me?"

At this time, there was no need to worry about any etiquette or rules. Weiyang walked quickly towards the direction of the Government Hall.

Poppy panicked and called her from behind, but Weiyang turned a deaf ear. Helpless, Poppy had no choice but to be supported by Siqin and followed quickly.

When Wei Yang walked near the Council Hall, she happened to see Li Shui's group coming out of the hall.

These people all looked strange, as if they had something on their minds. They kept a distance from Li Shui, intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were worried that Li Shui would infect them with his illness.

Weiyang composed herself and bowed to the courtiers.

When the courtiers saw Princess Weiyang, they were all stunned, and then hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Weiyang asked: "How are the discussions between the ministers and Your Majesty? How to deal with the Huns?"

Courtiers, you look at me and I look at you, they all feel that this is a bit hard to say.

Princess Weiyang is, after all, a young woman. If she talks about castration to her, wouldn't it be suspected of defilement?

What's more, Shatilie's execution was a top-secret matter. Apart from the emperor, only a few courtiers present knew about it. This matter must not be leaked, otherwise the plan to use Shatilie to disrupt the Huns would fail.

.

Therefore, the courtiers all looked embarrassed and no one spoke.

When Princess Weiyang saw their attitude, her heart suddenly sank: "Could it be that my father has agreed to the Huns' marriage proposal? Use me, a woman, to stabilize the border? Have these courtiers remonstrated? No, no, no, they won't.

Those who give advice have always advocated maximizing benefits at the lowest cost."

"So? Am I going to marry in the grassland? A bitter cold land with snow and wind, living in the same room with the dirty and rude Huns? No, no, I heard that the Huns don't even have houses. They live in

In the tent. Oh my god, what can I do?"

Weiyang felt a little weak. She took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and then asked Li Shui: "Master Huai, I heard that the Huns proposed marriage, has your Majesty agreed?"

Li Shui quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty did not agree. Not only did he not agree, he also ordered General Li Xin to kill the madman who proposed the marriage with his sword. Your Majesty's love for the princess is enviable and admirable."

Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more energetic.

Then she asked: "So, how will Your Majesty punish Satire?"

Li Shui scratched his head: "Well..."

Those courtiers were all human beings. Seeing that Princess Weiyang had caught Li Shui asking questions alone, they all took this opportunity to say goodbye and quickly slipped away.

Wei Yang didn't care about the others, just stared at Li Shui, frowned and asked: "Don't we punish him?"

Fu Yao said next to him: "Originally, we wanted to cut off their toes and tattoo their faces. We also wanted to take them as hostages and let the Xiongnu Chanyu exchange them with cattle, sheep and good horses."

Wei Yang's heart moved: "This is good. But, was this the original plan? What happened next?"

Fu Yao said with a proud look on his face: "Later, my master persuaded me not to chop off the toes or tattoo the face, but just put them back. The cattle, sheep and horses are all gone."

Wei Yang turned pale and asked Li Shui: "Master Huai, why are you doing this? Sha Ti Lie insulted me, is this the end of it?"

Li Shui coughed dryly: "Well... Your Majesty has another punishment for Shatilie, but this punishment is related to a major matter, so I can't tell you in detail."

Wei Young simply turned around and asked Fu Yao: "What punishment will your Majesty give Shatilie?"

Fu Yao scratched his head and said: "It seems to be a kind of punishment. I don't understand what it is called...castration. It is said that after receiving this punishment, you will never think about men and women again."

When Wei Yang heard this, her face immediately turned red. Looking at Li Shui next to him who looked embarrassed and half-smiling, Wei Yang turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, she came back, took out a wooden folding fan from her body, and said: "Sir, I have been invited to eat food from the fairy world, but I have never thanked you. Today, I punished Sha Tilie heavily to vent my anger. Wei Young

Nothing to repay, just a small gift to show your sincerity."

Then she stuffed the fan into Li Shui Shui's hand and walked away quickly.

Li Shui held the fan and felt a little dumbfounded.

Just give me a fan? Even if you give me a few pounds of gold or a few houses, that's fine.

Li Shui opened the fan and looked at it. This folding fan was made of wood. Because there was no paper in the Qin Dynasty, the fan leaves were all wood chips.

There are some flowers, fish and insects carved on the wood chips, which looks very delicate.

There is also a poem in the corner, which seems to be written in large seal script. This kind of writing is more difficult to read than small seal script, so Li Shui can't understand it.

He should know Fu Yao next to him, but Li Shui didn't have the nerve to ask.

The teacher asked the student, how unworthy is this? If your tall image is shattered, why would you still use Fu Yao to reach the top of your life?

Suddenly, a strange fragrance hit his nose. Li Shui put the fan under his nose and smelled it. He was surprised and delighted at the same time: "Sandalwood? This is a sandalwood fan. It's priceless."

Fu Yao, who was next to him, was stunned when he saw Li Shui holding a fan and smelling it non-stop: "Master's expression is so vulgar. No, no, no, master is an expert outside the world and doesn't care about worldly opinions. If he has ideas in his heart, he will naturally
