Chapter 195: Fear
"It's good to be appeased, and the old body doesn't want to make any big trouble."
"The old minister obeys the order, the saint can rest assured, and there will be no accident."
Coming out of the Ciyun Palace, Wang Entropy stepped over the threshold with vague steps, and outside the hall was the bright sun, which made people's hearts panic. He has already made a guarantee in front of the saint, and he must not let this incident develop like Jing Kangnian, but whether there is someone behind this is still unknown, he only hopes that person will not go too far, and the trouble will be out of control in the end.
"Is there any news over there, Chen Jingxing, have they arrived?"
"Back to Pingzhang, Chen Shangshu and Wang Shilang arrived early in the morning, and Liu Shizhi was a little late, and now they are all waiting outside the Donghua Gate with them."
Hearing that the three of them had arrived, Wang Entropy's heart was a little relieved, with them in front, at least there would be an explanation at that time, and now there was nothing else to worry about, so let's hurry up and press down the matter first.
"Let's go, the old man will go too."
On the shoulder, put down the covering cloth on both sides, they are all made of thin fine Shu brocade, transparent and breathable, but the person can't see it dimly, only a vague shadow. Wang Entropy did not close his eyes as usual, but quietly watched the palaces on both sides flash.
From the past of Ciyun Palace, there is a short distance, and a full set of first-class important ministers' honor guards are put out, even if they meet the prince, there is no need to avoid the way. Because according to the Song system, Zai Fuxu is above the prince, not to mention that he is a one-man Pingzhang military affairs, and the palace servants he met along the way all stood with their heads bowed, and they were only afraid that there was also the harem lord.
On weekdays, Wang Entropy would never be so swaggering, but now things are too urgent, and he is old and frail, so it is important to say whether he can go over, so even if he is said to be arrogant, he can't take care of it. After a while, the tall tower of Donghua Gate was already in sight, and a voice clearly reached my ears.
"You are all the country's talents, he will come out as an official every day, and he does not know the difficulties of the sea, and you ask today, we only have the word 'try your best' to answer. Chen can guarantee that several colleagues are like this, if you don't believe it, when the result comes out, you will naturally know, and I hope everyone will go back and don't bother the saint here. ”
"Since Chen Shangshu said so, can you answer a word, has the result come out?"
"It's still being discussed."
"Then how did I hear that the Yuan people wanted to exchange all the captures of our dynasty with the land of one state, and the discussion that Chen Shangshu said should be the result?"
Liu Yu has been listening to it for a long time, and only then did he finally understand what was going on, there was no wind and no waves, I don't know who was spreading such rumors. It stands to reason that the real result should have been reported to the political affairs hall a long time ago, how do you think that the two prime ministers' faces are irrelevant? Even Chen Jingxing was spitting, as if he was hiding something.
Could it be that the Yuan people have repented again? What kind of deal has been reached with them in private, this is impossible, according to the system, as long as the three people do not sign the agreement, the agreement is not completed. His attitude is very clear, he will never agree to the blackmail of the Yuan people, as long as his deputy envoy is not removed, it will not be able to get around.
"Guys, let's say a few words."
Chen Jingxing was dumbfounded, Wang Yinglin could only go head-on, he had some influence in Shilin, these students seemed to respect him very much, and when they saw him speak, they all stopped and prepared to listen to what he would say.
"The Yuan people do have this mention, and some of the three people are not talented, and they have also fought on the basis of reason, but the Yuan people are rampant, not giving an inch, and if they are not allowed, they will threaten to war. Think about it, in such a situation, you can only say it slowly, and this is what Chen Shangshu said, but I can guarantee here that I will never agree to their request. ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Yinglin, who looks loyal and honest on the surface, and looks like an old pedant, talks nonsense, and every word is sincere and sincere, Liu Yu thinks that if he doesn't know, he will be deceived by him. Why did they do this, Liu Yu is not stupid, after thinking about it carefully, he roughly understands.
One state and three states, in fact, are all land cuts, but to get all the lost land back, it is impossible for the Yuan people to agree, and in the end it can only end in a rupture, and the two sides will resume the war, which is what the political hall does not want to see anyway. Then there is only one way to push the responsibility to the Yuan people and use their attitude to suppress domestic public opinion, which is not uncommon in later generations, and this time and space is also very familiar, and it seems that the essence of this kind of thing is actually the same.
After figuring out this layer, Liu Yu naturally knew that he was also an actor, and he was pulled out by them to occupy the scene, but fortunately, with the two of them and the father-in-law, most of them did not have the opportunity for him to perform, so it would be good to be a backdrop honestly.
"Since Mr. Bohou said so, we naturally won't disbelieve it, and I hope that a few people will put the community as the most important thing and not give it up lightly."
"Please rest assured, there are officials and saints, and there are all the students of the people of Limin, how many pairs of eyes are staring, we will definitely try our best to fight as Chen Shangshu said. If we can't fight for a state, we don't have to talk about others, and we will be dismissed from our posts, how about it? ”
His words made the students a little moved, but they seemed to be a little unwilling to stop and go back. Wang Yinglin saw some scenes, and was about to open his mouth to persuade a few more words, a hand patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and saw that Lao Pingzhang Wang Entropy walked up, he quickly took a few steps back and gave up his position.
"Shicai Chen Shangshu and Wang Shilang have all said it, the old man Wang Entropy, everyone knows each other, and several old guys in the political hall also expressed their position, and the result is that they sign back, and the old man and others will not agree. When the time comes, they will be dismissed from their posts, and we will also abdicate and make way for the virtuous, so can you be satisfied with the students? ”
I don't know if it's because he's too old, or if those words play a role, Wang Entropy, as the head of the Great Song Dynasty, such a guarantee finally quieted down the students. The one in the lead also slowed his expression, and no longer aggressive, he turned to consult with a few people who seemed to be leaders, and then turned back and stepped forward.
"Your words are written down, when the peace agreement is reached, please don't forget, if the Yuan people insist on going their own way and refuse to give in, why should my generation of scholars regret to fight! That's all for today, and I'll go back and see what you do. ”
After saying that, he bowed his hand and beckoned the students to start retreating, and the matter dragged on for a while, and the people in the city besieging on the side focused a lot, and the officials of Lin'an Mansion were also ordered to arrive and maintain order on the side. Looking at their retreating figures, Wang Entropy wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was so dangerous, he finally calmed things down.
"Let's disperse, let's do what we agreed before, quickly settle the matter, and don't make any more extraneous complications."
Liu Yu watched from the sidelines, among several people, Chen Yizhong, who watched the excitement without saying a word like himself, after Wang Entropy finished speaking, he still turned around and walked towards the palace with an expressionless face, Lao Pingzhang glanced at him and shook his head almost imperceptibly.
"Liu Ziqing, you wait a moment."
Liu Yu also planned to go back to the house, but he didn't want to be stopped by a voice, and when he looked back, Wang Entropy beckoned to him.
"I don't know what Pingzhang has to say?"
"You have also seen the matter just now, Chen Shangshu told the old man about the things on the lonely mountain, you have done a good job, and now there is still something you need to do. Take a trip to Qiantang Station and tell the envoy of the Yuan people that the Great Song Dynasty did not break the contract, but obeyed the power in a hurry, so that they did not have to worry. ”
Why do you want to do it yourself? Could it be that Chen Jingxing sued him, Liu Yu didn't bother to guess, he really wanted to go to Qiantang Station, since this is the case, then it will be both public and private.
When Lian Xixian heard about it, he didn't want to pay attention to it, compared to the Song people, the Yuan people's thoughts were equally urgent. Because if it drags on for another month, it will not be able to cover it up, and at that time, it is difficult to say whether these people will go back or not, you know, the Song people will not only detain the envoy, but also kill the envoy.
In Huizhou, Guangnan East Road, Jiang Cai's troops had just set off from Haifeng County, and on the official road leading to Chaozhou, a team composed of thousands of foot soldiers was marching forward, and he was scattered on the side of the road with more than a thousand cavalry, staring at them like a surveillance.
The day before yesterday, they had arrived outside the county seat, and because they had to deal with an emergency, the whole army's journey was delayed for a day, because of a brawl between the Xiang army, which was pretended to be prisoners. On one side were pirates, and on the other side were Han troops, and I don't know if it was the distribution of food or other reasons, hundreds of people fought together, and it was not until the cavalry sent out that they were forcibly separated.
The two together have a total of more than 4,000 people, more than the regular foot soldiers, if it weren't for so many cavalry deterres, I'm afraid that something would have happened a long time ago. Therefore, since he came ashore in Guangzhou, Jiang Cai was marching and purging military discipline, and with this reason, he simply completely liquidated, and more than 100 human heads were hung on wooden pillars on the side of the road, which made every sergeant who walked over shudder.
"Fear of power can lead to virtue", the head that is still dripping blood makes those who still have some dissenting hearts put away their minds, they can't run and can't fight, unless they don't want to live, no one dares to violate military discipline anymore. Swept by Jiang Cai's cold gaze, no matter who it was, they subconsciously lowered their heads, and everyone knew that it was the master who really dared to kill him.
Jiang Cai was a little anxious in his heart, if he delayed for a day, things would be strict, and at today's speed, he could at most rush to Shiqiao Town to set up camp, and it would be possible to enter Chaozhou tomorrow. But he also knew that he had just killed someone, and he couldn't push them too much, and he had to give them a time to digest their fears, so it was not appropriate to force them to march in a hurry.
"Get on the horse, let's also set off, report today's events to the waiter, and let him decide whether to adjust the itinerary."
When the tide of foot soldiers had passed, he gave an order, and then led the cavalry on horseback and chased after him. Only the heads hanging on the side of the road were left, which not only shocked the hearts of the foot soldiers, but also made the local people talk a lot, when did such a disciplined army come out in this Quang Nam, and even a fight would kill the head.
