Chapter 232: The Mission

(Thank you for your blessings!)

When the palace gate was close on this day, Emperor Zhiyou still summoned Shen Fuzhong and Shaoqing Gu Feng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Shen and Gu received the summons, they couldn't help but feel a little worried in their hearts. While rushing to the Zichen Palace, they quickly looked at the recent affairs of the Li Honglu Temple, and found that what could be regarded as a mistake was the matter of the Chaoxiang Twilight Seed.

However, this matter has been transferred to Yushitai and Dali Temple, and the emperor's summons should not be for this matter, right?

They were right, Emperor Supreme You summoned them not for this matter, but it had something to do with it.

After hearing the emperor's will, Shen Fuzhong and Gu Feng were a little stunned: The emperor wants to send an envoy to Nanjing in the first ten days?

Emperor Zhiyou's expression was not obvious, but he just said: "Chaoxiang Dusk Seed appeared in Daxuan, and Nanjing must have an explanation for this." The dynasty is willing to make friends with Nanjing, but it can't bear foreign insults. Taking this opportunity, send an envoy to Nanjing, exchange ideas, and cultivate friendship with each other, what does Aiqing think?"

Shen Fuzhong and Gu Fengju nodded yes.

Although the mission came as a surprise to them, it was necessary to think about it carefully.

It was more than ten years ago that Daxuan and Nanjing signed the alliance of Yancheng. With the existence of this covenant, Daxuan and Nanjing maintained friendship for such a long time, and also sent envoys to each other to garrison the national capital. However, there are really no grand envoys to visit.

Daxuan did not send a mission to Nanjing, and Nanjing naturally did not send a mission either.

In the final analysis, the time of Nanjing's invasion of Daxuan was not far away, and many officials of Daxuan had an indignant attitude towards Nanjing, but in order to take care of the overall situation of the whole country, they did not show it on the face, but it was more or less reflected in their ordinary actions.

Shen Fuzhong has been in office for more than four years, and he never thought of forming an embassy to go to Nanjing. -- Before him, Hongluqing had never taken such a move.

But since the emperor was interested, and this matter was indeed beneficial to the dynasty, Shen Fuzhong and Gu Feng said in unison: "Obey the emperor's will!"

It's just that after leaving the Zichen Palace, Gu Feng's honest face was a little embarrassed: "My lord, the composition of this mission is just a little difficult." ”

The mission visited Nanjing, which was something that Honglu Temple had not done for more than ten years. What kind of charter it is, Gu Feng doesn't know what kind of charter it is.

Shen Fuzhong also just knew that the emperor had this plan, and his heart was a little vain, so he had to say: "Now go to Nanjing to hand over the national letter, and wait for Nanjing to return to the national letter." ”

While waiting for the credentials to return, everything will be ready.

"Gather the officials of the temple and discuss this matter together. In the end, Shen Fuzhong commanded.

Shen Fuzhong is only in the middle, but he is as good as he is, that is, he can listen to the advice of his subordinates. Whenever there was a major event in Honglu Temple, Shen Fuzhong would concentrate his subordinate officials in the protocol house, which can be described as brainstorming.

This time, nature is no exception.

It's just that Shen Fuzhong didn't expect that before this, someone actually posted to him overnight, and he couldn't help but accept this post.

The person who posted was Pei Guang, Pei Guang of the first family in Hedong.

There is a slight fate between Shen Fuzhong and Pei Guang, although Shen Fuzhong wants to ignore this fate, but he is notoriously afraid of his wife like a tiger.

Pei Guang, unfortunately, is the in-law of his wife's cousin Hu's family - this kind of relationship that has been expressed for more than three thousand miles, even Shen Fuzhong himself can't figure it out, but Pei Guang is too good at taking advantage of loopholes, so he came to visit under this pretext.

Previously, because of the matter of Zhu Yiche, the envoy of Beining, Shen Fuzhong inherited the love of the Pei family, but in the case of Chaoxiang Twilight Seeds, this love has been returned.

At this meeting, Pei Guang actually came to see him overnight, why?

hated that when Pei Guang handed him a post, he also asked his female relatives to say hello to his backyard. In this way, Shen Fuzhong had no choice but to see Pei Guang.

But Shen Fuzhong never expected that Pei Guang came this time for the mission.

At that moment, his face was a little heavy, looking at the excessively beautiful old face opposite, and said coldly: "Patriarch Pei, it's okay, the news is so well-informed, aren't you afraid that this official will go to the emperor to say something?"

Shen Fuzhong knew that there were eyeliners everywhere in the palace, but it was one thing to know it, and it was another thing to encounter it in person. How long has it been since he came back from Zichen Palace? The Pei family was able to find him, and the news was too fast, right?

What saddened him the most was that the Shen family did not have such well-informed information...... Home is more deflated than home!

Pei Guang twisted his beard, and his phoenix eyes were full of surprise: "What does Lord Shen mean by this? There are more people in the court who know this news, what is a small Pei family? The grass people are not afraid of adults to say it." ”

"......" Shen Fuzhong's beard twitched, and he didn't want to talk at all.

The little Pei family, the grass people, heh!

Pei Guang knew that Shen Fuzhong's nature was neutral, so he replied so unobtrusively. But when he came, he really had something important, so he said immediately: "Lord Shen, the old man really has something to ask for." When forming a mission, please include the Inspector of Imperial History. ”

He expressed his intention so directly, which made Shen Fuzhong a little puzzled: "Supervise the imperial history...... Do you want Pei Wushao to go to Nanjing?"

Without waiting for Pei Guang to answer, Shen Fuzhong shook his head and said, "No, the rank of the supervising imperial historian is too low, which does not meet the face of Daxuan, and he will definitely not be able to enter the mission." ”

The mission represents all aspects of the country, and the official position is the most important part of it. From the supervision of the imperial history under the eight products, if it was in the envoy mission, Nanjing thought that Daxuan deliberately slapped his face.

Pei Guang didn't respond for a while, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

Just when Shen Fuzhong thought that Pei Guang had nothing to do, he couldn't help but hear the other party say: "If you don't look at your official position, then look at your face? This must meet the standards of the mission, there should be no doubt, right?"

"......" Shen Fuzhong paused, shocked by Pei Guang's sincere words.

Facts have proved that he is still too naïve! However, Pei Guang's words are very reasonable, and he can't find a reason to refute them.

Pei Guang's words are not unfounded. In the past, the officials who represented the envoys of Daxuan had a considerable rank and outstanding talents...... There are handsome ones, and there are quite a few of them.

After all, when an envoy goes to another country, the first thing people see is the appearance of the envoy, and the first thing they feel is the demeanor of the envoy.

Daxuan is rich in materials and talents, and the envoys are naturally dignified and outstanding-but Shen Fuzhong still remembered Pei Ding.

Pei Ding is handsome and long, the key is still the son of the first family in Hedong, and his bearing and demeanor are almost crushing others.

The only person who can be compared to him in the court is Ye Yong of the Ye family.

Thinking of this, Shen Fuzhong suddenly found that what Pei Guang said about looking at his face seemed to be able to work.

Soon, Pei Ding's name appeared on the list of mission personnel repeatedly agreed upon by the officials of Honglu Temple.

At that time, when the officials of Honglu Temple chose him, there were many reasons, such as the mission must have Yushitai officials, for example, the mission needed young officials, but the most practical reason was: handsome!
