On the question of whether or not to make peace, Zhang Kuan and Wang Cheng resolutely supported peace, and in their view, the price of achieving a short-term peace in the form of peace was the smallest. And Wu Huan's request for peace also shows the sincerity of Wu Huan people, which is equivalent to giving himself a step down and being good to each other.

However, the attitude of the military has repeatedly opposed, and there are still many scholarly officials in the government and the opposition who oppose it one after another, threatening that the heavenly kingdom can not be forced by people. This year is the first year of great virtue, the emperor specially added Enke, many students and scholars in order to win a good reputation before the imperial examination at the end of the year, have traveled to the major famous places in Beijing, fighting poetry and fighting with each other to show their talents, trying to be famous by the examiner during the imperial examination.

And marrying the princess to make peace with each other angered these students, and they petitioned one after another, threatening to break their arms rather than get along with Yunyun.

Zhang Kuan sighed to Wang Cheng and said: "The world thinks that the two of us are groveling, why don't we want to be resolute, but how can we be resolute and resolute, but how can we be arrogant and resolute in national affairs." ”

Wang Chengdao: "You and I know very well that the country is difficult, the people are displaced under natural and man-made disasters, and at this time, there are frequent rebellions in Jiangnan, and the daily consumption of the Vermilion Bird Legion is a huge amount of money, but how can those scholars know about it." Alas...... To govern the country, you can't govern with a book, sooner or later there will be a big mess. ”

Zhang Kuan said: "Brother Shunde, you and I have been officials for more than 30 years, and we naturally know the truth, but the people are ignorant, the scholars are angry, and the military attache seizes power, how can you and I be reasonable with them?" It is a small matter to bury the northern part of the country, but if the Inuyi goes south to attack the border pass, how can the country recruit and transfer military salaries? ”

Wang Chengdao: "Brother Shao, there are more and more people in the court who oppose peace, how can you and I turn the tide?" ”

Zhang Kuan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Since everyone doesn't listen to the overall situation, and they can't see the overall situation clearly, we can start from Dushanbo." If the peace talks fail, the Qinglong Army will definitely bury Saibei, who is the most beneficial to this move? ”

Wang Chengyi slapped his hand and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Du Shanbo's final reputation, if the Qinglong Army is destroyed, it must be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses who is incompetent. And Du Shanbo's refusal to negotiate peace is not intended to force the Qinglong Army to death? If the Qinglong Army dies, the forbidden army will all belong to Du Shanbo, he is in charge of the open fire to kill the Qinglong Army, and wants to be a martial artist. ”

Zhang Kuan stroked his beard and laughed: "Brother Shunde is smart, Dushan Bo is resolutely not in harmony, but has the purpose of forcing the Qinglong Army to death, how vicious his people are, tomorrow you and I will expose their crimes." ”

Wang Cheng hurriedly said: "The old prime minister must not be anxious, if you let others impeach, you and I have room to toss." ”

The two made a plan, and the protégé initiated a petition above the court, using the excuse of whether he was sincere in rescuing the Qinglong Army and whether Du Shanbo had framed his loyalty and conscience.

Du Shanbo was also full of contradictions, how could he not know the difficulties in the country, the northern part of the Central Plains suffered from floods, the Tianhuo Sect rebelled in the south of the Yangtze River, the barbarians in the southwest region confronted each other, and the Holy Han Empire was in internal difficulties and external scorched. However, the generals wanted to make meritorious contributions, especially their eighteen tigers after learning about the exploits of Zhang Xiaowu in Saibei, they shouted that they couldn't let a kid steal the limelight.

When Du Shanbo swayed from side to side, he was suddenly impeached and tried to kill the Qinglong Army, with ill intentions, and suddenly became furious. He knew that Zhang Kuan and Wang Cheng were instigating him behind his back, so he remained silent, first asking people to impeach the official who impeached him, and then ordering him to be killed with a cane. After dealing with the doubts of the DPRK and China, he said that he should focus on the overall situation, forced the question, and reluctantly agreed to make peace. Zhang Dang and Wang Dang cheered with resentment and cheered, believing that the victory had come too tragically.

Seeing this, Emperor Dade immediately agreed to make peace, and the latter hundred officials began to choose princesses and relatives for the emperor, but it was very embarrassing that the first emperor Taiqian gave birth to more than a dozen sons but only gave birth to three daughters. Among the three daughters, the eldest princess is already married at the age of twenty-two, and the second princess is sixteen years old, but she likes scriptures since she was a child, and when the emperor died, she became a monk, and the third princess is seven years old this year......

As for Emperor Dade this year, he is only twenty-nine years old, and his daughter is only ten years old. But fortunately, his fourth brother, the fourth prince Xuanyuan Zijin, was still in Longdu and did not settle in the domain. Xuanyuan Zijin has always had a cowardly personality, and his eldest daughter is fifteen years old this year, although she is a little younger, but she is also an adult.

The four princes naturally opposed the marriage of their beloved daughters to Fanbang, but he had no power and a cowardly personality, so he could only run to the temple to cry to the ancestral tablet, and then he was sick and almost died. Qingying, the daughter of Xuanyuan Zijin, knew that her father was sad, and she was afraid that he would be persecuted by the emperor and hundreds of officials, so she offered to be a princess and a princess.

Emperor Dade was overjoyed, and named his niece Qingying as the princess of Luling, and Su Yu escorted the princess of Luling and married Yu Wuhuan. In order to serve the princess, Emperor Dade also gave 1,000 slaves to each man, a woman, and 100,000 gold in gold, silver and jewelry. After Su Yu got the order, he escorted the princess and her party to the north. However, after entering Sizhou, the Sizhou flood suddenly broke out, and the team was forced to stay in Fengling City, and could only wait for the flood to recede.

At this time, there was a sudden chaos in the city of Saibeimu, it turned out that the death of the abolished prince caused a brawl, some people scolded the abolished prince for bringing disaster to the country and the people, and some people supported the abolition of the prince to treat his subordinates well and said that others were ungrateful, so there were many fights in the city. Fortunately, at this time, Li Chuncheng returned to Mucheng and together with Zhang Tongming, all the brawlers were imprisoned, regardless of their severity. Li Chuncheng reported to Zhang Xiaowu that these people were all idle, and their illnesses were slowly recovering, and they would stay in the city and have nothing to do, and they would fight all day long.

Zhang Xiaowu also did not know how to deal with the wounded soldiers who returned from Jincheng, among the 20,000 wounded soldiers, in addition to the common people and the wounded soldiers who had died of illness, there were still 18,000 veterans, they were all elite of the forbidden army with rich experience on the battlefield, and if they were not handled well, it would be chaos.

Zhang Xiaowu had already written a report to the Ministry of War for instructions, but the approval of the Ministry of War was far less fast than the holy decree, because the Ministry of War was also discussing. It is true that the people in the military department do not know how to deal with these people, whether to rebuild the Qinglong Army or return to their hometowns on the spot, but first of all, it is certain that these people cannot be merged into the defenders of Mucheng or the wolf guards, so as not to make the border army strong.

Since there was no suggestion from the imperial court, the wounded soldiers could only stay in Mucheng, but fortunately, there was enough food and grass in Mucheng, and the wounded soldiers needed to rest and rest, so they did not cause much trouble. Wu Song's suggestion to Zhang Xiaowu was to temporarily incorporate them to facilitate unified management, and Chen Qing, the military of the Qingzi Battalion, won the hearts of the people, so Chen Qing commanded the army and strictly forbade going out.

Zhang Xiaowu thought this suggestion was good, because Zu Gongmao's garrison was selecting cavalry to go north with him to rescue, and many elite veterans could be selected among the eighteen thousand people.
