Chapter 814: Deterring Foreigners
Su Xiche was very moved, but rejected Zhao Heng's arrangement.
He said: "The two countries will not fight each other. If Emperor An is sensible and upright, the official will naturally be fine; if the Emperor is mediocre and does not pay attention to morality, and the subordinate officials are in Anguo, they are like fish and meat on the chopping block, even if the prince sends twice as many people, it will be useless. The prince doesn't have to be busy, just let the lower officials go there to see the opportunity. ”
The Vermilion Bird King hurriedly said: "This king is afraid that there will be villains who will be unfavorable to adults. ”
Su Xiche smiled and said confidently: "There must be people who want to be unfavorable to the lower officials, and naturally there are also people who want to borrow the power of the lower officials, which may not be all bad things." ”
The Vermilion Bird King couldn't help but admire his courage, the literati dared to break into the enemy country alone, and this courage contest was no less than that of the heroic killing of the enemy on the battlefield.
Su Xiche bid farewell to the Vermilion Bird King and headed west.
Anguo is in the north of Dajing, and the border between the two countries stretches for several thousand miles, with the Vermilion Bird King guarding Jinzhou in the north, and the Xuanwu King guarding the Xuanwu Pass in the northwest. This is the general orientation. In terms of the location of the capital of Dajing, Xuanwu Pass is located in the north of the capital, slightly to the west, while Jinzhou is located in the northeast of the capital.
Anguo also sent heavy troops to defend these two places, the commander of Anguo north of Jinzhou was Qin Ifan, the fourth prince of Anguo, and the Wulanketong outside Xuanwu Pass was the largest border city in Anguo, which was defended by the king of Anguo Rongjun.
Right now, Qin Yifan doesn't know where to flee in Dajing, although there are guards on the Jinzhou side, they can't be the master of negotiations. When An Guo learned that Dajing had lost the four princes, he immediately sent the third prince Qin Feifei south and rushed to Ulanketong to contact Dajing, so the guard of Jinzhou ordered someone to send Su Xiche to Ulanketong.
Su Xiche couldn't, so he had to continue his trek.
They were traveling on dog sleds.
All the way to the west, there are vast snowfields.
Five days later, arrive at Ulanktong.
Between Ulanketong and Xuanwu Pass, there are two mountain ranges: one is located in Angola in Batu Mountain, south of Ulanketong, and the other is located in Dayankele Mountain, north of Xuanwu Pass. Between the two mountain ranges is a large wasteland, and there is a river in the wasteland called the Uli Jimulun River (Jixiang River), which is bounded by the two countries.
During the Yingwu period, Emperor Yingwu and the Qinglong King signed the "Auspicious Alliance" on the side of the Wuli Jimulun River (Jixiang River), achieving the great cause of unification and going down in history. Emperor Yingwu and the Green Dragon King have also been famous for centuries.
The sleigh galloped along the bank of the Jixiang River, and Su Xiche recalled the history and was full of emotion: I think about the scene of that day, the blue sky reflects the cold snowfield, how spectacular!
Under the city of Ulanketong, Su Xiche was greeted by the strong array of Anguo army, and the generals under the command of Rongjun Honglang were immediately located in front of the array.
This Hong Lang is a member of Hong Fei's clan, a descendant of the King of Dajingrong County during the Yongping period, and it is precisely because of this relationship that the Lin family will use Hong Jia's father and son.
Su Xiche got off the sled, and while gently moving his legs and feet, he looked at the military formation opposite, and suddenly heard the earth-shattering roar of "ho, ho, ho", and those sergeants were all waving weapons at him with angry faces, as if they were going to chop him into meat sauce. Su Xiche "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change", he was not shocked at all, and bowed his head slightly with admiration in his eyes, as if he felt that this momentum was very extraordinary and the military might was spectacular.
Hong Lang couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
On the face, Hong Lang hugged his fists with a straight face and said: "Dajing envoys have come from afar to work hard, go in with this king to rest, and meet the prince of my family." ”
Su Xiche returned the salute and said, "Please lead the way." ”
Hong Lang said: "This king is the king of An Guorong. ”
Su Xiche said: "Oh, it's the queen of Rongjun who rebelled during the Yongping period, right? At this time, he was a little annoyed: this Honglu Temple Zhengqing is not as loud as the right minister, if he is not dismissed and demoted, it will be wonderful to be the right minister.
Hong Lang heard him say that he was a rebel descendant, although this is a historical fact, but it was extremely unpleasant to hear, and immediately ridiculed him: "Isn't the adult the right minister?"
Su Xiche replied honestly: "I was demoted." ”
"Hahaha......"
King Rong Jun was the first to laugh.
The generals under his command also laughed loudly with him.
thought that they all knew why he was demoted.
Su Xiche also laughed with them, seemingly embarrassed.
This smile diluted the tense atmosphere, and everyone entered the city and went to the palace to meet the three princes. This palace was built during the first generation of the Qinglong King, and now it has been expanded into a castle, with the unique style of the northern people.
On the main hall, Qin Feifei, the third prince of Anguo, was the first, and the civil and military generals lined up on both sides, staring at Su Xiche who walked calmly.
Qin Feifei is somewhat similar to his younger brother Qin Ifan, but he has no foreign blood. His maternal family is the Rongjun Wang Hong family, and Qin Ivan's maternal family is a descendant of Prince Bayin of Anguo, and Prince Bayin's youngest son Buri Gude is the number one brave general under the first generation of Qinglong King and the person who opened up overseas territories.
Just looking at this faction, you can see that Anguo is also restless.
Needless to say, Hong Lang supports the three princes.
And behind Qin Ivan is the Bayin family.
At that moment, Su Xiche bowed down to see Qin Feifei.
Qin Feifei stared at him and asked sternly: "Don't mention the two countries' exchanges of troops and don't kill the envoys, Dajing and An Guo are brothers, why did you attack my fourth brother?"
Su Xiche hurriedly asked, "Where did the news of the third prince come from?"
Qin Feifei said, "Isn't this news right?"
Su Xiche said solemnly: "No! The Great Jing White Tiger King rebelled, and the Qinglong King stole himself, robbed the daughter of the White Tiger King from the prison of the Criminal Department, and threw herself into the White Tiger King. Dajing exchanged the son of the White Tiger King for hostages, and he openly judged the enemy before the battle. When the White Tiger King was destroyed, the Green Dragon King fled and disappeared. The original envoy came to Anguo to ask Anguo for an explanation: Could it be that Emperor An wants to interfere in the internal affairs of my Dajing and betray the ancestral inheritance?"
Qin Feifei slapped the table and said: "What nonsense! His Royal Highness got the news: You shot the fourth brother in front of the battle, and you didn't care about his safety at all, but you said that he had defected to the enemy. The fourth brother's whereabouts are unknown now, and the truth is not at your disposal!"
Su Xiche shook his head and said, "The third prince doesn't believe it, and the envoy doesn't say much. What is the temperament of the Qinglong King, it is expected that the third prince knows better than this envoy, and when he returns to Anguo, he will know the truth. I'm afraid he won't tell the truth. But please think about it carefully: If I really want to be unfavorable to the Qinglong King, will he have the life to come back? For example, if the prince wants to kill me, the envoy will have no power to fight back, and can only be disposed of. ”
Qin Feifei's expression changed.
After a while, he asked, "What if he doesn't come back?"
Su Xiche said: "He will definitely come back!"
Qin Feifei looked at him suspiciously.
Su Xiche explained: "The Qinglong King fornicated with the Lin family, and I, Dajing, are not helpless against him, but I just don't want him to die in Dajing, otherwise I can't tell him, so I intend to indulge him in returning to China." Do the three princes know why he fornicated with thieves?"
Qin Feifei asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
Su Xiche said: "Presumably in order to carve up Dajing with the Lin family, if he occupies half of Dajing, his status in Anguo will be different." ”
He didn't go any further, and he didn't need to go deeper.
Qin Feifei and Hong Lang would understand what he meant.
Qin Feifei was shocked: the fourth brother has always acted with foresight, and he is a little unscrupulous, if he ascends the throne, can he end well?
Hong Lang was even more anxious.
Su Xiche looked at them in his eyes and was very satisfied, so he looked around, looked at those Wenchen generals with blazing eyes one by one, and joked in his mouth: "The Third Highness doesn't even give a seat, this is for the envoy to get off the horse? ”
Qin Feifei hurriedly said: "Come on, sit down!"
The maid came to lead Su Xiche to the first place on the left and sat down, opposite Hong Lang.
After sitting down, Su Xiche immediately picked up a cup of hot milk tea, poured it down, and praised: "It tastes good! "Smiling, I didn't care about what happened just now, and I was very calm and open-minded.
Qin Feifei asked him how hard he had worked all the way.
Su Xiche said: "Although it is hard, I can appreciate the scenery of this northern country, the reckless snow field, the majestic snow-capped mountains, majestic and magnificent! I think of the time when Emperor Yingwu and Emperor An signed an alliance on the bank of the Jixiang River, brothers joined forces, what a courage! Who knew that the descendants could not keep the ancestral inheritance, and actually colluded with traitors, alas!"
Qin Feifei said: "When my father learned that the fourth brother was missing, he was furious and ordered His Royal Highness to negotiate with Dajing. Now that Master Su said so, he would wait for the fourth brother to come back and confront him. If the fourth brother can't come back, I will never give up!"
Su Xiche smiled: "Don't worry, I'll be back." The scheming and strategy of the Green Dragon King are also full of praise for the most outstanding young handsome man in my Dajing. ”
Qin Feifei felt very subtle when he heard it, and noticed that he said "Dajing is young and handsome", so he remembered someone, so he asked: "I heard that Dajing has a female champion named Liang Xinming, and Master Su was demoted by her impeachment?"
Su Xiche said honestly: "Not bad." ”
Hong Lang and the others immediately laughed.
Hong Lang didn't want to talk about the topic of the fourth prince Qin Yifan's collusion with traitors anymore, because he had already believed seven or eight points in his heart, but he couldn't bow his head to the envoys of Dajing, let alone expose the infighting between the princes of Anguo, so he wanted to change the topic, and it happened that Su Xiche sent a ready-made topic - Liang Xinming!
He teased: "I didn't expect that Dajing actually let women participate in the imperial examination, and also achieved the position of the imperial history of the left capital." What about the Dajing man?"
The crowd laughed at it.
Another person said: "I heard that she also entered the Taimiao Temple to worship her ancestors?"
Su Xiche nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
The crowd laughed again.
Su Xiche smiled and said: "Have you forgotten history: in my Dajing Imperial Temple, the tablet of the Xuanwu female general is being offered in the temple court of Emperor Yingwu?"
Everyone laughed, and no one answered for a while.
After a pause, Hong Lang said: "The situation of the female general Xuanwu is different, this Liang Xinming is a woman dressed as a man and entered the imperial examination. Emperor Dajing spared her?"
Su Xiche said: "Do you know why our emperor uses Liang Xinming?"
Qin Feifei hurriedly asked, "Why?"
Laughing and laughing, they actually want to know Liang Xinming's details.
Su Xiche first hugged his fists to the south, and said in a tone of admiration: "My emperor's mind and bearing are comparable to that of Emperor Yingwu, and he uses talents in an eclectic manner. Liang Xinming not only has the talent to govern the world, but also has a research on things. She fired cement, built the first cement road in Dajing, and developed a car that could run without pulling a horse. ”
Hong Lang asked in surprise: "If you don't need a horse, you can run?"
Su Xiche nibbled on a fruit that he didn't know what to call it, nodded and said, "Exactly." When the time comes, the artillery can be loaded on the car and driven directly to the battlefield. At present, she is presiding over the construction of the official road leading from Shendu to Xuanwu Pass in the northwest, and when it is repaired, military supplies can be transported to Xuanwu Pass unimpeded. ”
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Qin Feifei's heart sank to the bottom.
Hong Lang stiffened and didn't know how to respond.
Su Xiche seemed to remember something, and said to everyone with a smile: "At that time, the trade between the two countries will be cheaper." If you have the opportunity, you can go to Dajing as a guest and go to the homeland of your ancestors to have a look. Haha, An Guo and Dajing are brothers, and they have to come and go often. ”
This is not funny at all, everyone didn't laugh, just heard Su Xiche laugh alone, in the deep and vast hall, the voice was particularly harsh.
That night, the news was taken away by the flying eagle used by Anguo to transmit the message, flew to the capital of Anguo, and in the early morning of the next day, it was placed on the desk of Anhuang.
When Emperor An saw the letter, he was so shocked that he couldn't possess his body.
In the morning of the same day, he discussed countermeasures with his ministers.
All the ministers spoke one after another, some of them fought and some of them made peace.
The main battle faction proposed: send masters into Dajing, assassinate Liang Xinming and Wang Heng, in order to prevent future troubles, and steal the cement firing formula and the drawings of the car.
The main peace faction objected, saying that the rebellion that the White Tiger King of Dajing had prepared for more than ten years had been sabotaged by Wang Heng and Liang Xinming, which showed that they were powerful, and they must not turn against Dajing and suggested peace talks. He also reprimanded the fourth prince, Qin Ifan, for betraying his ancestors and rebelling, and he should be severely punished and confessed to Dajing. It is said that Anguo and Dajing were originally brothers, each guarding the inheritance of their ancestors, helping each other, and exchanging what they had, so how could they turn their elbows outward and collude with traitors to betray the inheritance of their ancestors? If this continues, sooner or later the country will be ruined.
The two sides quarreled.
Emperor An's heart was in turmoil, he didn't know what to do, Ling Sanchao, and discuss it tomorrow, he had to think about it and make a decision.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the uncle of the fourth prince Qin Ifan, Zuo Xiangbuhe, immediately sent a group of masters, about fifty people, to the south to sneak into Dajing, while answering Qin Ivan, while looking for an opportunity to assassinate Liang Xinming, stealing cement formulas and vehicle drawings.
