Chapter Forty-Six: False Reasoning!
79_79301 Utu is not stupid, since Dorje was poisoned and Buda Rang was faked, he took advantage of these two things to ask Daxing for huge compensation, but Daxing only said that he would wait for the Yuan Festival.
This was a prevarication, and he could hear it. After the Shangyuan Festival, Daxing negotiated peace with Wuhu, if only one Ledan demanded a very high compensation, Daxing would not agree, so it was better to form an alliance with the other four departments and slaughter the fat sheep of the Daxing court.
These days, the court officials of Daxing accompany them to go to the flower street and willow lane, and there are many people and miscellaneous news in the land of fireworks, and he actually heard something that shocked him - a few days ago in the capital city of Daxing, a corpse was dug up in Shengjing City, the capital of Daxing, and the bones were tested by the new governor of Jiangbei on Tuesday, and the dead person was actually a nobleman of Ledan!
The news spread with noses and eyes, and people couldn't help but believe it.
Utu did not see the body, but when he heard that it was the nobleman of Ledan who died, he thought it was the real Budajang, so he angrily went to the Shengjing Mansion and demanded that the body of the nobleman of Latin be returned. Sheng Jingfu Yin didn't know about this, thinking that Utu was the body of a fake Ledan, so he said that he had no right to decide, and he would play the court tomorrow. Utu thought that it was really Buddarjan's body that had been found, and Daxing held the body of the priest Ledan, and refused to return it, so after returning to the post house, he invited the envoys of the other four ministries to persuade the Wuhu to form an alliance again to discuss the important matter of seeking peace and benefits.
This peace is Ledan's bad luck, and everything is on Ledan, but it is also Ledan's luck that he can take the opportunity to open his mouth. The other four ministries originally had the attitude of watching the fire from across the strait, after all, they were in the capital of Daxing, and they were in a weak position in the situation at the border pass. Annoying the Daxing Imperial Court, it is not good for anyone, it is better to consider the right conditions, and go back after talking. What they really want is not the gold, silver, wealth, women, cattle and sheep of Daxing, but a few years of stable life, Wuhu needs a few years of recuperation and recuperation, and then they can seek the Central Plains in the future.
Utu said: "Last year's war was clearly that our five departments were weak, but the Daxing Imperial Court wanted to negotiate peace, and they must have a plan!" Emperor Daxing is mediocre, the prime minister has a heart of disobedience, he needs the Northwest Army under his son's command, so he doesn't want there to be a war at the border pass, otherwise, the Northwest Army is pinned down at the border pass, and he will not be helped. ”
This is very reasonable, and it also solves the doubts in many people's hearts.
The three tribes of the Rong people, the Una and the Yue clan are weak, and they have been caught between the Di people and the Letan tribe for many years to survive, and now that what Utu said makes sense, he asked him what to do.
Utu said: "Prime Minister Yuan has a request for us, he doesn't dare to start a war with us, of course we have to seize this opportunity!" Although we are not from the same tribe, we drink the water of Sangzhuo Divine Lake, and we are the same first-class grassland children, and now the grassland children are poisoned and faked, and the Daxing court is bullying us, we should work together! Only when we work together can we achieve greater benefits! ”
Hearing this, some people were moved by the national complex, and some people were moved by the interests, and they all felt that Utu's words were reasonable, and they expressed their alliances, and made clear the terms that their respective tribes wanted to make peace with the Daxing court.
Only Hu Yanhao only smiled silently, smiling and mocking.
Utu caught a glimpse of his expression, frowned and asked, "What does King Di think?" ”
This person has half of Ledin blood, but he has a blood feud with the Ledin royal family, and he is the one who comes to Daxing this time, which is incomprehensible! He had just been proclaimed king, and his foundation was unstable, so he dared to personally enter the capital of Daxing to negotiate peace. But when he came to Daxing, he didn't mention the peace conditions of the Di Department, and these days he only followed those Daxing officials to wander around and have fun! They all know what the tribes want, but what Di wants is a mystery.
Hu Yanhao smiled, the eagle ring was inlaid with blood-red gemstones, which made his smile bloodthirsty and deadly, "The first prince of the Ledin tribe really worked hard to get this little bit of negotiation and compensation." ”
Utu's face darkened, was this mocking them for being beggars?
"King Di looks down on the peace conditions proposed by our four ministries to Daxing, so what conditions does King Di want?" Utu asked angrily, he had to find out what Hu Yanhao was hiding first.
"You also deserve to know what this king wants?"
"You!" Utu was humiliated, gasped for a moment, and said, "In this way, King Di doesn't want to form an alliance with our four tribes?" ”
"Think, it's better to be aligned than not to align." Listening to Hu Yanhao's meaning, the people of the four departments thought that he didn't want to form an alliance, but they didn't expect him to agree.
Agreeing to insult an ally, what kind of mind does this person have!
"In this case, King Di must always show some sincerity, just now we have all made it clear what we want to negotiate peace, King Di always has to say what he wants, and we know the root cause to negotiate with the Daxing Imperial Court." Utu did not give up on tempting Hu Yanhao.
"Clear?" Hu Yanhao laughed loudly, his laughter was extremely mocking, and he glanced at the four envoys, his eyes were vicious, "What you just said is really unreserved?" ”
When the people of the four parts heard this, they all dodged their eyes.
After last year's war, the Wuhu tribe is now in a different situation, and the benefits they want to get from the Daxing court are naturally different.
Hu Yanhao smiled arbitrarily, got up and left, and when the person arrived in the courtyard, the voice came into the house, "What is the same as drinking the water of Sangzhuo Divine Lake, and the same first-class grassland child, don't be disgusted with this king." Determine the public account, as for the private account of each family, each according to his ability! ”
Utu is very smart, and it doesn't hurt if he wants to form an alliance, but he can't let him tie the knot, otherwise Dibu will be isolated, and the various ministries will not be harmful to him if they watch out for each other.
Hu Yanhao walked out of the courtyard and looked at Shengjing Palace with his hands in his hands.
Since he came to Daxing in person, how could he only look at the small profits of gold, silver, and wealth?
His great cause will start from Shengjing.
Hu Yanhao was cunning like a wolf, stirring up the calculation of the alliance with Utu, and the various ministries were wary of each other, and sure enough, they no longer said that the grassland Erlang was a family, and they got together to discuss for three or two days, and discussed a public account, that is, the gold and silver wealth demanded by the Wuhu tribe and Daxing were all the same amount, and as for who else wanted anything in private, they each talked to Daxing with their abilities.
The amount of gold and silver was so huge that it would be difficult for the Daxing court to agree, so the Wuhu tribes united to find a reason to make trouble, and the reason was very high-sounding - Dorje was poisoned, Buddarjan was killed and faked, and Daxing hurt the national feelings of the steppe children.
Of course, feelings are priceless, but if the Daxing court wants to show friendship and use gold and silver to soothe it, the Wuhu tribe can also reluctantly accept it.
As a result, the amount of gold and silver was sent to the Qianhua Hall of Shengjing Palace in the early dynasty.
"One hundred thousand taels of gold and silver, thirty thousand horses of silk and cloth, and three thousand cattle and sheep! It's only been a year, and there are so many for each one! ”
"The lion opens his mouth!"
"How many taels of silver does the treasury have in a year? Even if the treasury is emptied, it will not be able to feed the wolf-like appetite of these Hu tribes! ”
"Then fight! The Hu people disturb my border every year, why bother to use the blood, sweat and silver of my people to raise a group of wolves who are eyeing the tigers? The wolf is fattened, but it wants to bite! Yuan Xiu spoke up and interrupted the condemnation of the hundred officials.
When the hundred officials heard this, they all fell silent, Yuan Xiangguo said that he wanted to negotiate peace, and no one dared to say war, so Yuan Xiu dared.
"Master Hou, this wolf won't bite when it's fattened, if someone feeds it every year, won't the wolf become a dog?" Fan Gaoyang said with a smile, and many people in the palace echoed it, and they all said that this was reasonable.
"Crooked!" Twilight said coldly, "It's so good to tame a wolf into a dog!" There is this Yaxing who tames his own money and stretches his hand into the treasury, and he is not afraid of raising wolves with the people's blood, sweat and silver, and his hands are hot! ”
Fan Gaoyang's face tightened, and the court officials who had just echoed him shut up one after another. Although the days of this young man in the court are short, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have a consensus on her, as long as she opens her mouth, it is better to keep her mouth shut, so as not to be scolded to invite Lang Zhong to the court! Fortunately, she didn't have to endure for many days, and in another three or two months, the ice of Daze Lake outside the city melted, and she could go out of the city to train her troops.
The Golden Palace was silent for a moment, Yuan Xiangguo glanced at Yuan Xiu and Du Qing, and reprimanded angrily: "It's not that you don't know the severity, go down to the lake to fish for corpses, conduct autopsies and investigate the case, and cause the matter to get out?" ”
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the princes and ladies of all the mansions in the courtyard were there that day, even if they didn't dare to pass on this secret, they also had their fathers, brothers and uncles after returning home. Moreover, many of those young ladies were frightened, and when they returned home, they asked, how dare they hide it?
Even if the identity of the corpse was later verified, the matter still reached the ears of the Hu people, and the Wuhu envoys made such a fuss, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty guessed that it was the Hu people who were fished out in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Even if you don't say it, I think that there are a lot of people who are secretly conspiring with the Hu family!
Twilight sneered, "No wonder there are a lot of civil and military officials who are full of crooked reasoning, and it turns out that Lord Xiangguo is the same." Don't blame the murderer, but blame the investigation! If you say so, then Lord Xiangguo should not blame Hou Ye for going to the lake to fish for the corpse, but should blame Miss Hu who fell into the lake. ”
"You!" Hu Wenru fell back in anger.
Hundreds of officials looked at Hu Wenru in unison, and the children of all the families of the poetry club in the Xiangfu Courtyard went that day, and they belonged to the Cao family and the Hu family. Not to mention that the Cao family's concubine was kicked out of the courtyard, the Hu family's son and daughter all had ugly things, especially the Hu family's daughter danced on the ice lake like the dancing girl and fell into the water. After the children of each family came back, they have said the cause and effect, Hu Wenru said that he was sick at home and had no face to go to court these days, and today the Wuhu envoys made a fuss, and he came to the court, but he didn't expect to be exposed by someone in the palace.
"Du Du Mo wants to spew blood! What evidence does the governor have that the little girl is scheming? The little girl is obviously stumbling and falling into the water, please don't ruin her reputation! Hu Wenru didn't admit it.
He really didn't know about this in advance, he only blamed the wicked girl for being confused, the empress dowager belonged to the lord of Ningzhao County, she couldn't fight for the position of the main room, why did she use such a means? With such means, even if she enters the Hou Mansion, she is still a concubine! With a family like the Hu family, how can a concubine be a concubine? This matter is that his evil daughter is too anxious, if Yuan Xiu ascends in the future, why worry that there is no place for the daughter of the Hu family in the three palaces and six courtyards?
Yuan Xiangguo loves reputation and authority, and the empress dowager is the nephew and daughter-in-law of Ningzhao County, which is known to all dynasties, and the children of all families also know. After the incident of the poetry meeting in the other courtyard, Yuan Xiangguo once angrily reprimanded the Hu family, reprimanding him for teaching his daughter, he was implicated and blamed a lot, and he became the laughing stock of his colleagues in the court.
This must not be recognized, anyway, the ice in the lake is under the snow, even if some people say that it was chiseled, what evidence is there?
"Need proof?" Twilight didn't bother to say the evidence, so she said, "It's her fault that she fell in anyway." ”
"You, you...... Mess around! It's just crooked! ”
"That's also a crooked theory that I learned from Master Xiangguo." Twilight sneered, "It's the fault of the people who went down to the lake to find corpses in the lake, and Ling Yan fell into the water, so it's her fault that she shouldn't dance on the ice!" If she didn't go to the ice lake, how could she fall? ”
"You, you ......" Hu Wenru couldn't refute a word.
Yuan Xiangguo's face was dark.
Twilight's crooked theory is not over, "According to this crooked theory, it is the fault of the Prime Minister's Mansion that Ling Yan danced on the ice, if the Prime Minister's Mansion did not hold a poetry meeting, Ling Yan would not have the opportunity to dance on the ice." ”
Hu Wenru: "......"
Baiguan: "......"
No one dared to look at Yuan Xiangguo's face, only heard Twilight Qing's sigh, and seemed to remember something again.
"According to this crooked theory, today's Wuhu lion opened his mouth, it is the fault of the lords and the sect, if you don't make peace, the Hu people will not enter Beijing to discuss peace, and there will be no today's matter."
All the officials choked, but they didn't make a sound.
"So, instead of blaming me for the autopsy, you adults should introspect yourself!".
