Xia Xun returned from a tour of the lake, and entered the palace in the afternoon to see the driver.

Zhu Di was quite moved after listening to Xia Xun's plan, all along, he has always attached the most importance to the threat from the north, and he has always been wary of the northern peoples. If the Great Khan of the Warats could be used for himself, it is conceivable how much of a role it would play in eliminating the northern border troubles.

Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "If Warat really secretly established the Great Khan, and the Great Khan is Wansongling, there may indeed be something that can be used." Well, I am about to send an envoy to Varat to find out what is going on with the secret establishment of the Great Khan of Warat, so I will appoint you as a messenger to Warat! ”

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not good. It is too grand to investigate whether Warat secretly established the Great Khan and send an envoy to the state. Moreover, if the ministers rushed to Warat as envoys, they would not be able to act freely, so how could they investigate whether they had established a Great Khan? If this Great Khan is Wan Songling, how can the ministers approach him after confirming his identity? ”

Zhu Di was reminded by him and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Xia Xun said: "The emperor can send another envoy to Warat on business, and it is enough for the minister to pretend to be a military attache in the envoy team, with this identity, my actions will not be too noticeable, once it is determined that the person is Wan Songling, it is convenient for me to meet him." ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and nodded lightly.

Xia Xun's safety is not to worry about, Ben Ya lost his life and killed the Ming envoy Guo Ji, what the result was Everyone saw, Zhu Di personally took command and sent troops, and chased Ben Ya in the desert for half a year, and finally picked off his head. If Zhu Di, the master of the calf protector, is recruited, the three kings of Warat will have to follow in Benya's footsteps.

Xia Xun acted as an ordinary military attaché, and the Warat people did not dare to hurt him, if they knew that he was the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, they would not dare to hurt him. If he had no plan, he naturally did not dare to kill the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and if he had any plans, he would not attract the thunderous wrath of the Ming Emperor at this time.

Even if Xia Xun found evidence that they had secretly established the Great Khan, the only thing Warat could do was to deny it in every possible way, not admit it, and even simply kill "Tokhtar Buhuā" to extinguish his mouth. Unless the head of Warat is determined to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty and is sure of victory, he will never dare to poke the hornet's nest again, except in the case where the three kings of Warat have lost their hearts together.

Therefore, the real difficulty in sending an envoy to Warat this time is how to find out whether the Warat people have established Tokhtar Buhuā as the Great Khan? Is this detachment not huā Wan Songling? Once confirmed, find a way to get in touch with him under the watchful eye of the Warats.

The matter of the Khan of the Waratites must have been covered up, and it is difficult to inquire about it from the enemy's people in the enemy's territory and have evidence. With the evidence in hand, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to find this hidden detachment in the felt bags and a gang of méng ancients in the prairie to confirm his identity.

Once his identity is confirmed, on the premise of not alarming the Warat people, he will avoid the guards who are guarding them and secretly contact him, which is even more unimaginable in Zhu Di. Except for the resourceful Xia Xun, he really can't think of anyone who has this ability in the Manchu Dynasty, so this person must be Xia Xun.

Xia Xun and Zhu Di had a secret discussion, agreed on the envoy and the date, and once Wan Songling's identity was confirmed and he came into contact with him, the conditions that Emperor Yongle could give him ......, and the two discussed carefully for an hour and a half before Xia Xun resigned.

Xia Xun walked out of the Jinshen Palace, and did not leave the palace immediately, but went around to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xie Jin pretended to be sick for a few days, and he was counting on a holy decree announcing a consolation summons, who knew that the Yongle Emperor, who once said, "The world cannot be free for a day, and I cannot be without a day without a solution", the Yongle Emperor who once said "The world cannot be free for a day, and I can't go without a day" The Yongle Emperor ignored him at all.

Xie Jin pretended to be sick for a few days, but it was really boring, so he had to "recover from his illness" and come to the palace to be on duty again. It's just that after this incident, Xie Jin is sick all day long, like a frosted eggplant, although it is because of a bad mood, but in the eyes of others, it really seems that he is cured from a sick body and has no spirit.

When Xia Xun arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin had just forwarded a batch of official documents, yawned, and was about to lie down to rest for a while, when he saw Xia Xun arrive, Xie Jin was surprised and delighted, and even went down to the ground with his boots, stepped forward to greet him, and said happily: "Why is Guogong here?" ”

Xia Xun smiled and said, "Oh, I'm going to go to Beijing on a business trip in the near future, so I'm going to take a look at Shoufu before leaving." ”

Xie Jin was surprised and said: "Guogong wants to leave Beijing on business? Where to go? ”

Xia Xun waved his hand, and the little eunuch who had just served the tea and was retreating to the side blinking and obedient with his eyes hurriedly bowed and withdrew. Xia Xun walked over, lifted the door curtain, and then turned back to sit in the room, and said, "Yes, I was ordered to leave Beijing to investigate a case." ”

Xia Xun took a sip of tea, stopped talking about it, and said: "I just came out of the emperor's place, thinking that it would take three or two months to turn around when I left Beijing." I've been busy these days, and I haven't talked to you, how can I ......, the gentry's anger doesn't seem to be very good? ”

"Hey!"

Xie Jin waved his hand and smiled covertly: "Occasionally, I was caught in the cold, but now I have seen it, so it's okay." ”

Xia Xun said "um" and said: "The emperor has promoted the scholar to the second grade, but the eldest gentleman brother is not moved......"

Xie Jin has always been humiliated by this in his heart, he can be imprisoned himself, and others will regard it as a humiliation when he mentions it, so his face turned red when he heard this.

Xia Xun turned a blind eye and said: "Obviously, the emperor is dissatisfied with the reckless words of the eldest gentleman, but ...... In my opinion, it's really not a big deal. Whether it is a monarch or a minister, a father or a son, or a husband and wife, they are always in one place, how can there be a tongue that does not touch their teeth.

Since the emperor did this, it means that he still wants to use you, so he uses this as a punishment. The eldest gentleman is very knowledgeable, so he naturally understands the truth of this, and there is no need for Yang to nag, I am just a friend's persuasion. There is really no need for the eldest gentleman to take it to heart. ”

Xie Jinlian claimed that it was, and Xia Xun groaned and said: "The king of Han was reprimanded by the emperor for receiving the Tatar envoy without authorization, and he failed to fight for the southern expedition to Shuaiyin, and he has recently converged a lot, and in a short period of time, he does not dare to do anything more......

In the next sentence, Xia Xun didn't say anything to Xie Jin, because of the matter of Shuangyu, Xie Jin didn't know the details. For the Han Wang faction, the only one who made Xia Xun wary was Chen Ying, Chen Ying sent people to Zhedong, obviously to engage in his black materials, but Xia Xun could not chase Zhedong to make trouble.

And Chen Ying is under the guise of being ordered to investigate, and he can't use his own power to do tricks, what he can do is to notify Xu Hu in time and tell him to be careful and not to give people any handles. But since Chen Ying put the breakthrough in eastern Zhejiang, there is no big move on the Jingli side for the time being, and Xie Jin is not easy to be attacked.

Xia Xun said: "Brother Gentry just have to do his part with peace of mind, the emperor is very concerned about the compilation of the "Yongle Canon", you are the chief editor, use more thought in this matter, don't interfere in other things, be cautious in your words, stabilize Xingzi, what is a little setback?" The emperor is strong, if you are tough, it will be worth the loss. ”

Xie Jin nodded again and again, and Xia Xun smiled and said: "The eldest gentleman brother is a young man, and Emperor Méng Taizu is favored by Emperor Gao, who lives in the temple, reprimands and waves, and is famous at home and abroad." Later, because he offended Jianwen, he was degraded to Lanzhou and served as a guard lieutenant for three years. Then he made a comeback, and now he has become the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he has gone through three dynasties, several ups and downs, and these things are naturally broken! ”

Xie Jin, the dignified prime minister, naturally didn't want Xia Xun to feel that he was narrow-minded because of a "job title", so he laughed and said: "Xie Jin has experienced all the winds and waves, although he has not reached the realm of fame and fortune, but this favor and humiliation can still be done." At the beginning, Xie was indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart, but now he wants to open and let go! ”

Xia Xun said happily: "That's good!" There is another thing I want to instruct the eldest gentleman, it is about the ...... of Ji Gang."

Xie Jin said: "What's wrong with Ji Gang?" ”

Xia Xun paused in his tone, and said slowly: "Last time, Ji Gang asked the emperor to go to see the king of Han performing martial arts......"

Xie Jin said: "Yes, I think he wants to use this to arouse the emperor's jealousy, but it's just ...... It was self-defeating, but the emperor favored the Han King's ability to command the army, and almost ruined the prince's major affairs. ”

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "It seems to be intentional, or unintentional." Whether Ji Gang did bad things with good intentions, or whether he harbored evil intentions, it is difficult to say! ”

Xie Jin naturally knew that Xia Xun and Ji Gang were not in harmony, and couldn't help frowning: "No......, he and we are in a relationship of both glory and loss, although Ji Gang is a villain with a good heart, but not a stupid and ignorant stupid person, why did he do this?" ”

Xia Xun smiled and said, "Maybe it's me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." There are some people in this world who like to play with fire, Ji Gang is this kind of person, I am also this kind of person, we are the same kind of people, so I have a different view of what he does! ”

Xia Xun's tone softened, and said: "However, it doesn't matter, the prince abides by his duty, and he has always asked people to find nothing to be late, I am very relieved." King Han suffered a dumb loss, and now he is afraid of annoying the emperor again, and it will not be troublesome. Ji Gang, is a big expert in muddying the water and borrowing the east wind, there is no water to stir and no wind to borrow, he will stop for a while, the problem is not big, you remember this in your heart, be a little more vigilant, don't discuss anything with him! ”

Xie Jinlian claimed that it was, and Xia Xun got up and said: "Then, Yang will leave, the eldest gentleman brother will keep his heart, conscientiously do a good job in the book, and urge the compilation of the "Great Canon" not to travel late, and if the others are ignored, they will not give people a chance to take advantage of it, and on the day the book is completed at the latest, the eldest gentleman brother will be able to regain his holy favor!" ”

Xie Jin responded with a smile, his face was light, as if he had really solved his heart, and when he sent Xia Xun away, he stood alone for a long time, but let out a almost inaudible sigh.

It was when the spring breeze was proud, and it was suddenly hit by this, that kind of loss and melancholy, it was so easy to let go.

If you can't ask for it, you can't let it go, how can you be at ease?!。
