Chapter 302: Initiative
Qin Guogong said it clearly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Qin Sanye was even more embarrassed and sad in his heart.
Qin Zheng also vaguely understood.
Only Qin Jin was ignorant when he heard it.
He was just a little minion in the Dragon Guard, and he couldn't understand the wind and rain in the court at all, but he still felt that his grandfather's idea of resigning was too sudden.
If the emperor is approved, will my grandfather also have to return to Jinzhou?
Qin Jin's puzzled gaze swept from his grandfather to his third uncle, and then to his eldest brother. The three of them all looked like you know and I understand at this moment, and it was not good for him to ask again as soon as his face turned red.
After a moment of silence, Qin Sanye first gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed with his father's decision, and then Qin Zheng also nodded in response. Qin Jin also responded with the crowd.
In fact, although Qin Guogong is still in office in the court, his prestige has long been much worse than before.
Today's military secretary He Heng relies on the power of the eldest princess, and with the deliberate connivance of the emperor, he has faintly formed another force in the court.
This force is no smaller than the Qin family's power in the dynasty.
Perhaps Qin Guogong chose to retire at this time, on the surface, it seemed that he had damaged his own strength, but in fact, he could let the emperor eliminate some of his commandments, which was also good.
Therefore, the next morning, the courtiers all watched in surprise as the Qin family's grandfather, Sun Yan, sang one after another like a big opera.
The emperor's face on the dragon chair changed several times, and finally refuted the excerpt of Qin Guogong's begging bones, and allowed Qin Zheng to send an envoy to Nanyu as one of the Qin Guards.
Next, the emperor asked the secretaries to recommend candidates to go to Nanyu to handle negotiations.
This time is different from the last time I went to the Western Underworld.
It's hard to choose this candidate.
The young and junior courtiers will definitely not be able to control the scene at that time, and at the same time, it will also make the six princes feel that most of the court has neglected him; the old and respected courtiers may not be able to withstand the hardships of this long journey, in case they fall ill on the road and have an accident, won't they delay the big thing?
Of course, the civil officials should be more careful, in case the talks with the six princes collapsed, and the six princes sent people secretly hunted down and killed, and could not save their lives? Moreover, the military attaché's lips are not neat enough, and perhaps the negotiations that could have been resolved in words would have outweighed the losses if the two countries met each other because the military attachés could not speak.
Therefore, for the sake of insurance, the courtiers have advised them to lead the guards to the Southern Yu Kingdom.
But who and who goes?
It was a dangerous errand after all, and not all courtiers were willing to risk moving their heads to earn this credit.
So for a while, no courtiers took the liberty of recommending anyone. They even felt that the young General Dingyuan must have had his head caught in the crack of the door, so he would take the initiative to ask Ying to go to such a dangerous place.
Although there were many crises during the battle of Tongzhou, after all, it was in its own dynasty, with tens of thousands of soldiers accompanying him to defend against foreign enemies, and thousands of people behind him to back him.
This time I went to Nanyu Kingdom, but I went deep into the enemy dynasty alone, and there were open guns and hidden arrows all around. Since the thieves dared to flee there, they might have been prepared for a long time, waiting for them to fall into the net.
The emperor's gaze swept over.
All the courtiers held their breath and hung their heads in painstaking thought, and no one said a word.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.
Qin Sanye smacked his lips a few times, but he stopped thinking after seeing the back of his father in front of him.
The emperor looked embarrassed, his right hand held a hollow fist and coughed lightly on the side of his mouth, and said in a slightly sullen tone: "What's the matter?
The courtiers were even more afraid to answer, and their heads hung down even lower, as if they were so ashamed that they wanted to get into the ground with a crack in the ground...
Qin Guogong stood up at this time and said, "The old minister is willing to go!"
Although the voice was not loud, it was enough for the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to hear, and then their eyes shot towards him.
Qin Sanye also felt stunned...
I hadn't discussed this last night.
The emperor was surprised, "The old man is not in good health, so he has to take care of it." ”
Qin Guo said fairly: "The emperor's words are wrong... But where the dynasty has a good minister, the minister must go all out... The old minister is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that the thief of Nanyu Kingdom will not die, and he will attack on a large scale at the instigation of people with a heart......"
This is not without precedent.
Two years ago, the emperor went to Dayue Mountain to seal Zen, and the prince of Nanyu sent troops to attack Yunzhou, and secretly sent a large number of fine works into the city to assassinate the emperor.
Fortunately, after the civil strife in Nanyu, the old emperor was critically ill, and the prince had to withdraw his troops to return to China in order to fight for the throne, but he was killed in the chaos, and the four princes were able to succeed to the throne.
The courtiers with a heart naturally thought that after the Duke of Qin recovered from his injuries, he was sent by the emperor to Nanyu to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and he was accompanied by Lord Lu and Commander Yan
In fact, it seems that Qin Guogong is the right person...
The courtiers couldn't help but fight in their hearts.
At the same time, another courtier stepped forward.
All the courtiers said "ah" in unison, and their faces showed a look of surprise and inexplicability along with the voice... No one thought that Lord Lu would come to wade into this troubled water.
Lord Lu is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he was originally responsible for this matter, but his current identity...
The Xiao family is his in-law.
When the Xiao family had an accident, he also helped to intercede, knelt down in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and begged the emperor, kowtowed so that his scalp was broken and bleeding, which made the emperor angry and ordered him to go home to avoid thinking for half a month.
Lord Lu's daughter, Lu Shi, along with the other ladies of the Xiao family, has been assigned to the side.
The emperor saw that the Lu family was full of loyalty, and the affairs of the Xiao family were not connected to the Lu family. It is said that Lord Lu should be a low-key person with his tail between his legs at this time, but he has to be in the limelight in the court...
The courtiers couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
Qin Guogong threw an appreciative glance at him.
Lord Lu's face was flat, and he stood there with his back straight, as if he didn't know that the courtiers around him were looking at him strangely.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, straightened his body and said with emotion: "There are two Aiqing, the old man and Lord Lu, who share my worries for me, I am very relieved!
The courtiers also knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty, saying "ashamed and frightened" in their mouths, but they were secretly happy in their hearts.
The emperor immediately made a decision and appointed Qin Guogong and Lord Lu as the chief and deputy envoys of the Qincha, and Qin Zheng as the captain of the Qincha guard, and set off tomorrow to envoy to the Southern Yu Kingdom.
After retiring from the court, the emperor specially summoned the three to the imperial study to meet the driver.
Qin Sanye was panicked, his brows were furrowed, and he stood at the gate of the palace and rubbed his hands and kept walking around...
Of course, he knew that this trip was full of dangers, and the worst thing was that all the relatives he cared about the most were about to fall into this crisis, first he went to Yan Yuan, and now even his father and Brother Zheng are going to ......
