In the third year of the new emperor Zhao Lan's succession, Dadi took the initiative to negotiate with Daxi and was willing to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The Dadi official asked General Cheng Yuecheng, who was guarding the border and responsible for the safety of the peace talks, "I wonder which minister of the court who was in the peace talks with me Dadi this time?"

Inquire in advance so that they can prepare to send gold, silver, jewelry, or jade calligraphy and painting in private.

Cheng Yue looked at them casually, as if he had seen through their intentions, and his lips raised slightly, "The Emperor attaches great importance to this peace talks, so the envoy invited was the eldest princess of Luohe in the dynasty of Daxi."

The only person who ascended the throne and obtained the position of the eldest princess was the famous Princess Luohe.

The envoys of the Great Liao Dynasty also had a very slim name. When the incident in Yangcheng was in the past, Princess Luohe became famous in the world. It was also a frightened reputation when it came to their Di tribe. Others only knew that she had made contributions to defending the city and annihilated the enemy, but they did not know that it was a trick for the Di tribe.

Tens of thousands of Di warriors died in Yangcheng, which made Dadi feel sad.

Even the king almost lost his throne at that time, and then proposed to plunder the Daxi border town. Some opposition parties took this as an example, and the king could only end up in depression.

Before the new king could prepare his troops, he tried to eliminate the shadows in the hearts of the Dadi people and wash away the humiliation of his father, the consequences of the wool trade also appeared.

The person who proposed the same is Princess Luohe. She recommended a textile cotton talent in Jiangnan in her early years. Since then, in addition to starting cotton planting in the north, wool has also become an urgent need. Princess Luohe proposed to Zhao Jin, the living Emperor Qingming at that time, to start a wool trade with Dadi and exchange wool for food.

Cattle, sheep and horses are important materials for Dadi and rarely trade with Daxi, but wool is different, so the trade began quickly.

Many tribes in Dadi benefited from this, so the royal family didn't care much at first, but after the wool trade continued for more than ten years, they suddenly realized that many people in the tribe had become accustomed to a comfortable life and no longer planned to plunder. The subsequent decline in combat power was also followed.

On the other hand, Daxi has attached importance to military equipment and improved the military system in recent years.

The new king of Dadi also knew that war could not be started casually, so this decisive peace talks were met, which would determine the relationship between the two countries for at least fifty years.

The king of Dadi also asked the envoy to propose to Daxi to marry a legitimate princess.

The envoy couldn't help but wiped his sweat. If he knew that the person who came was Princess Luohe, he would have called him sick and refused to do this job.

"The eldest princess is here." The attendant said loudly,

All the subjects of Daxi admired this Princess Luohe, not because she held the power. On the contrary, she had the opportunity to take over the power. The late emperor worked diligently and although he had health care, he still died young. Before his death, he intended to give him the title of Luohe Town, which he trusted most, and assisted the new emperor.

But Princess Luohe refused. It was not because she was afraid of her own misfortune and worried about her subsequent funerals, but because she was just unwilling to have any impact on the government and asked the court to separate factions.

Make people embarrassed or tempted to be ambitious

Zhao Jin valued that he, the emperor girl, had no family or any ties. The most important thing was that Luohe was truly bright and bright. He was strong without desire. He was devoted to the country and would not be tempted by any factional rights.

Will become the most solid royalist party.

The crown prince, the new emperor Zhao Lan, is also so convinced, so he was granted the title of Princess and was given the right to participate in politics in the palace. He was noble but had no real power, but was in a transcendent position. Although these were already in the reign of his father, they are now more legitimate.

For example, no one has any objection to the peace talks between Princess Luohe and Dadi in this way.

This mission is not only tricky but also crucial, and the new emperor is not at ease to let anyone from any faction in the government and the country go there.

The servant lifted the curtain,

When they saw His Highness, the noble and noble princess who walked out of the sedan chair, everyone around them knelt down and saluted.

"The eldest princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Even the officials and soldiers of Dadi performed their etiquette, because there was no one more noble than Princess Luohe.

In Daxi, the only ones above Princess Luohe were the new emperor and the queen mother.

"Don't give me a favor." The gentle voice of the spring breeze sounded, and it was hard to imagine that this would be a confidant for their king to regard as the enemy. However, such a woman who seemed gentle and had a transcendent temperament became a nightmare for Dadi for a moment.

Cheng Yue glanced at the envoy of Dadi, and his cold eyes seemed to be warning them, which made them suppress their thoughts.

And when he saw Princess Luohe again, he couldn't help but sigh.

Even though time passes, my eyebrows and eyes are still picturesque and amazing, and still have the charm that makes people want to follow.

***

The Empress Dowager comforted her daughter Princess Anping, "Don't worry, don't you trust your aunt Luohe?"

The content of the peace talks proposed by Dadi had long been presented to the court, and even the harem was heard of the proposal to marry the princess of the legitimate origin. The only legitimate descendant of Daxi is 17-year-old Princess Anping Zhao Wenyin.

It is also because of this that the Empress Dowager personally went to the Princess's Mansion and asked Princess Luohe, who had been idle for a long time since she entered the country to participate in politics last time, to take on the important task of this peace talks.

Princess Luohe has the talent for governing the country, which is well known to everyone, but she does not care about politics and prefers leisure.

After the empress dowager said that, she coughed twice again, and Princess Anping immediately became nervous, "Is the cold of the mother's queen still cured? Is it because the imperial physician has not been fully treated, or is it because he is not fully serving?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head, "No wonder they are. Last time your emperor brother invited Doctor Wei back from Jiangnan. This disease of the Ai family is heart disease."

After the death of the late emperor, she became increasingly unhelpful. Maybe she was heartbroken. When she thought of the late emperor, she couldn't help but feel sad, worried that the late emperor would be in the underworld.

Princess Anping's eyes were slightly red, "It was because the son's minister was unfilial, which made the mother worried."

As a princess, she should have contributed to the country like Aunt Luo He, but now she still wants them to worry about her marriage.

"Silly child, even your emperor brother won't let you marry you." The empress dowager touched Anping's bun, "I asked you Aunt Luo He to go, just to block Youyou's mouth."

"I don't know how many days I have left to see the late emperor." The Empress Dowager smiled gently, "But I feel relieved if Luo He takes care of you."

She has lived a very complete life and has no more shortcomings.

Princess Anping held back her tears, her eyes red like a rabbit.

The border peace talks have been going on for three days, and many matters have been negotiated.

The officials of the Honglu Temple sent were not selected casually. The court and the public attached importance to the peace talks. Princess Luohe also told them the bottom line on the way here, and if they couldn't do it, they would continue to talk.

You can't give in a step.

With Princess Luohe standing by, Dadi's envoy did not dare to say what he wanted to marry the legitimate princess.

It was one of them mentioned when they discussed last night, "What if the legitimate princess and the eldest princess Luohe... are similar in some places."

But anyone can hear what it means.

Someone said, "I heard that Daxi only had one legitimate princess, who is the niece of Princess Luohe."

They couldn't guarantee whether the legitimate princess had the impression of being the eldest princess Luohe. If she learned a little, even if Daxi was willing to let her marry her, they wouldn't dare to ask for it. Who knew if she would have planned it for many years in Dadi's business, and in the end she turned Dadi into Daxi's subordinate.

No one dared to take this responsibility, so he sent a letter to the king overnight.

In the end, King Di said to the envoy that he would cancel his request to marry the legitimate princess and continue the peace talks.

In the third year of Xuanlong, Daxi and Dadi signed a Licheng alliance. This alliance agreed that the two countries would not violate each other's borders within 70 years, and also brought about a long period of peace.

...

On the south coast, dozens of huge ships set sail,

As early as the Qingming year, sea routes were opened and caravans were established, but now this magnificent fleet is not comparable to any caravan, because it was formed by the imperial court and sent overseas countries.

The person who presided over the fleet was the current emperor's aunt, His Highness, Princess Luohe.

Although the sea ship manufacturing technology has made great progress, there are still risks. Emperor Zhao Lan is also unwilling to let his most trusted aunt Luo He be in danger of life. However, Zhao Xin has long been thinking about going to sea.

Otherwise, she would not have vigorously promoted the opening of the maritime business and tourism road and the construction of a sea ship factory in the court over the years.

She had traveled all over Daxi, and several nearby countries, including Dadiguang, had been on missions several times. Zhao Xin had long been no longer interested.

This matter was decided not only because of Zhao Xin's strong desire, but also because in terms of status, it would be fine if Zhao Xin was on par with the kings of those overseas countries. In terms of ability, Princess Luohe was proficient in language and talent in learning language, even the officials of Honglu Temple were ashamed of themselves.

It is completely enough to take on this important task.

Emperor Zhao Lan could only watch his aunt Luo He left with tears in her eyes.

"Go to sea." A young official in a maroon official uniform whispered loudly.

This magnificent scenery is enough to be recorded in history.

***

Zhao Lan put down the memorial and looked at the snow outside the window, "This year's snow fell at the right time, it seems to be a good harvest."

"Your Majesty is right." The eunuch waiting beside him replied with a smile.

Zhao Lan couldn't help asking, "Is there no news about the eldest princess' fleet yet?"

"I'm afraid it will take some time." The eldest princess' fleet has only been gone for two months. It takes half a year for ordinary sea business trips to go back and forth, so how can it be so fast? Of course, if this is the case, the eunuch would not say it directly.

"The eldest princess likes to travel, and she has been away for a year or two on weekdays. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much."

Zhao Lan smiled and said, "You are right." But this time, I didn't expect that Aunt Luo He would leave Daxi when she went so far.

The eunuch noticed his sad expression and said appropriately, "Your Majesty is tired of reviewing the memorials. The queen has prepared partridge soup. Do you want to try it?"

Zhao Lan nodded, "Take it up."

An eunuch holding a tray came out of the back hall, with a blue and white porcelain cup, a small white jade bowl and a carved jade spoon.

The temperature of the partridge soup is just right and suitable for entering the stomach. Zhao Lan drank a bowl and her whole body was warm.

The queen's surname is Cheng, and she comes from a scholarly family. Her father and grandfather are both famous scholars. She herself is also smart.

I still remember when he first chose the Crown Princess, Princess Jiayang and Princess Qingfang came to join in the fun. When the queen joked privately about what kind of girl he liked, he couldn't help but say, "It would be great if Aunt Luo He had a daughter."

Then he will definitely treat her very well.

That was all the ignorance of my youth.

Aunt Luo He was free and indifferent throughout his life, but he was not very concerned about the love between men and women. Zhao Lan once thought about whether to give Aunt Luo He some beautiful and outstanding male pets, but when he thought about it, he felt that those male pets for people to have fun were really not worthy of her.

Instead, it defiled Aunt Luo He's nobleness.

***

In the fifteenth year of Xuanlong, the eldest princess died, and the whole country was sad.

The funeral was second only to the emperor and was granted the title of Zhenguo.
