The so-called world does not have a free lunch, this time Lin Feng's marriage also had a little bit of a fork, in order to study this issue, Lin Dashuai had to convene the minister for discussion.

This matter is not very unexpected, and when Li Guangdi, Zhou Peigong and others read the report, they even showed a relieved expression together, to be honest, judging from the impression that Wu Sangui gave them, it was not a wronged leader in any way, and this time he actually gave a beautiful daughter for nothing, if it was just to entrap Lin Feng, it was indeed unacceptable no matter what, how to say that everyone is a politician, it should be despicable and shameless, If they were all so innocent and cute, it would be really funny.

There is also a small attachment that arrived in Beijing with the gift list and departure date, this thing was put behind a long silk satin, jade pendant and other gifts, which was not very eye-catching, but when Lin Feng saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, because this attachment was a very formal holy decree, and I don't know how the official Zhou Dynasty listed such an important thing at the end, because as far as common sense is concerned, this thing is generally a letterhead, and it is an important document that must be announced first.

Lin Feng's grammatical format of the holy decree is a little unfamiliar, but this time he really can't be blamed for being uneducated, because in addition to quoting a lot of allusions from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the very rare Chinese characters used in it account for 70% of the full text, so Lin Feng couldn't even guess it at that time to figure out its general meaning.

The attitude of this holy decree is very polite, and in general it can be divided into several parts, first of all, as the leading leader, he spoke highly of the first half of Lin Dashuai's revolution, especially the incident of cutting down Kangxi's Beijing massacre, and then enthusiastically praised Dashuai's character and appearance, appearance, temperament, etc.; Then he changed the tone of the elders, and informed His Excellency Marshal Lin Feng of his affection without losing his identity, His Majesty the Emperor Wu Sangui of the Great Zhou Dynasty was more optimistic about the character of the marshal himself, so this time he passed the assessment of the qualifications of the horse, and here used a long period of beautiful rhetoric to praise this happy marriage, and hereby concluded that the life of the young couple must be very happy in the future, and the last part of the tone was greatly changed, completely transformed into a pure official document format, and condescendingly canonized Lin Fenglin Marshal as the "King of Xinghan County" of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I hope he will make persistent efforts and make new contributions to Da Zhou.

Frankly speaking, in fact, Lin Feng couldn't understand the first two parts at first, and when he was reading, he used a lot of the skills of reading short passages in the English test that year, pushing up from the last part that he could barely understand, and then deducing the general meaning of it, which is indeed a very depressing thing, Lin Feng really couldn't understand it, it was obviously written for himself, why did he have to make himself unable to understand. However, depression is depressed, and the political connotation in this is still clear, so Lin Dashuai's mood was very complicated at that time, and he didn't know how to deal with this trick.

The person who wants to give Wu Sangui this trick should be a master, this holy decree looks natural on the surface, but it is not the same thing in the mainland at all, originally the Han army and the Great Zhou Dynasty are two completely independent systems, and there is no subordinate relationship at all, that is to say, it can basically be counted as two countries, so Wu Sangui does not have any power to canonize whoever is who, so this holy decree can actually be regarded as a letter of recruitment.

Only now did Lin Feng slowly come back to his senses, this Princess Anping was just a pie wrapped in poison, Wu Sangui's purpose was very simple, he hoped that through this political marriage, the Han army would nominally submit to the Great Zhou.

Now the political situation of the Han army is very precipitous, politically isolated, geographically surrounded by enemies, and its own strength is not strong, the internal affairs work has just begun, it can be said that a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, so it is an inevitable choice to carry out distant and close attacks in diplomacy - if you do not accept this holy decree, it is to formally break off diplomatic relations with the Great Zhou, in addition to being passive in military strategic deployment, it will also affect its maritime trade with Jiangnan, but if you accept this holy decree, then the trouble in the future will definitely be greater. Therefore, Lin Feng weighed the two sides and couldn't make up his mind, so he had to convene his ministers for a collective discussion.

It can be seen from the hesitant faces of the important ministers that this matter is indeed a bit nerve-wracking, although this matter is not a very complicated conspiracy, but it is too important, and it can be said that it may affect the future political direction of the entire Han Dynasty, so when the ministers finished circulating the holy decree, the conference room was silent for a long time.

"Gentlemen, Wu Sangui, this old boy has made a trick for Ben Shuai again, this thing is a little uncertain whether he can pick up Ben Shuai, I don't know what you mean?!" Lin Feng coughed lightly, interrupted the silence, turned to Li Guang and said, "Jin Qing, you are the head of our Han civil officials, do you think it is better for us to receive this holy decree or not?!" ”

"Ahem...... cough ......" Li Guangdi frowned and made a bitter face, "Returning to the lord, this matter is very important, and I can't make up my mind for a while......" Seeing Lin Feng's uncertain face, he hurriedly said, "But my subordinates think that it doesn't hurt to accept this holy decree, Da Zhou and my Han are thousands of miles apart, even if we are ministers, it will not be damaged in the slightest for the overall situation......"

"Jin Qing's words are wrong!" Chen Menglei couldn't help but interrupt his words, stood up hurriedly, and bowed to Lin Feng, "Lord, this matter is related to the prestige of my Han Dynasty, don't act hastily," he turned around and saluted Li Guangdi again, "Lord Li, please forgive me for the offense, this matter is really not trivial-that Wu Sangui wolf ambition, when he led the Tartars into the customs, the Ming Emperor and the queen, have no temperament, and repeatedly betray the main enemy, it can be described as notorious, and the people of the world despise him, if my Han surrenders to him today, What will the world think of me in the future?! Let alone...... What's more......" he glanced at Lin Feng, "What's more, in the future, after my Han Dynasty unifies Hebei and exterminates the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, if we confront the north and south of the Great Zhou, how will we deal with ourselves?!" ”

Li Guangdi sighed slightly and waved his hand, "Zezhen, I don't know what is at stake here, but at this moment, our Han is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, so we have to be a dwarf!" He smiled bitterly, "Then according to what you say, we won't marry Da Zhou?!" ”

"Jin Qing don't be too weak, if the old thief Wu really wants to force each other hard, this marriage is okay," Chen Menglei's face was full of anger, and he saluted Lin Feng and said, "Lord, my subordinates are here to ask for their lives, please let Chen go to Jiangnan for a trip, and make it clear to Da Zhou, if they really want to do this, then our big man may not be easy to bully!" ”

"Alas...... Zezhen, you don't know the price of tea and rice," Li Guangdi said coldly, "Slow to talk about other military and political deployments, at present, my Han is short of financial resources, just look at the goods in the south of the Yangtze River, this matter must not be reckless, and the day before yesterday, the lord had issued a strict order, from now on, my Han will send pack horse caravans to the Mongolian tribe to trade with them tea, bricks and cloth, many of which have to be ......"

"Then you can't just bow your head here!!" Chen Menglei said sharply, he strode around, glanced around at the ministers in the hall, and said impassionedly, "In the past, my lord worked hard in the grass, struggling on the soldiers, and your colleagues fought hard and bloodily to create this small foundation, how can you easily play with others?" He raised his hand and pointed around, "Let's bow our heads to Wu Lao, a sinner who has been around for thousands of years, how will the world Shilin treat us in the future, and will anyone believe our banner of 'driving out the Tartars and returning my rivers and mountains'??! And if in the future, our army will recover Shandong to exterminate the pseudo-Qing Jian prince and border the Great Zhou, if they pass on the order, will our army listen or not? - If you don't listen, is that a 'rebellion'? In this way, there is nothing left for the righteous name, and my great man will die in a disaster......"

Li Guangdi's face was a little ugly, and he said angrily, "Zezhen, the coming day is long, don't be alarmist!" ”

"It's not a lie, Jin Qing, you can know - this small step back today, tomorrow will definitely take a big step back," he turned around and solemnly saluted Lin Feng deeply, "Lord, this marriage is not connected!" ”

Lin Feng moved his butt uneasily, his heart was full of ups and downs, this matter was really unlucky, this matter was originally to marry a wife by himself, looking at these subordinates in front of him who were serious about deciding marriage matters for themselves, it was very like being arranged.

"There is no need for the two adults to argue, I have an idea," Zhou Peigong, who was sitting on the side, suddenly interjected, and he had been watching coldly, and now he saw Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei fighting the bull, so he spoke up to mediate, "The day before yesterday, my General Staff received a military report from Xuanhua Zhao Mongol, saying that the little prince of Suiyuan Chahar wanted to enter Beijing and Jin to see the lord, what do you think, what should be done in this matter?!" ”

Everyone looked sideways, and the way of changing the topic of Xindao was too clumsy, right?! Lin Feng pinched his nose and frowned, "If he wants to come, he will come, it's nothing more than Ben Shuai to accompany him to have a meal and talk, it's not a big deal - Pei Gong, now discussing the matter of Wu Sangui's holy decree, the Chahar tribe or something, postpone the discussion!" ”

"Hehe, the main tolerance, in fact, the two are also somewhat related!" Zhou Peigong smiled, arched his hand towards Lin Feng, and saw that the big handsome was full of surprise, he explained, "The big handsome doesn't know, this Chahar chieftain is illustrious, and its hereditary princes are recognized by the whole world, and the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the past recognized his position, and from the official point of view, he is called a vassal, and the Ministry of Rites prepares a file to serve the king...... "He showed a peculiar expression to Lin Feng, "cough...... Cough...... But today, my lord's inheritance of heaven should respond to the people, and God has bestowed the post of 'Generalissimo of the Han Army' - then this time he comes, what kind of etiquette will the lord greet him?! ”

This matter is a bit messy, Lin Feng's eyes widened, and he thought about it for a long time before he understood what he meant, and felt that Zhou Peigong was reminding himself that his "handsome" official position was a head shorter than that of other people's "princes", so this meeting was a little embarrassing from the order of etiquette and religion. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Then what else can I do?" - Does Pei Gong want me to greet your brother-in-law with the gift of my subordinates?! ”

"No, no!" Zhou Peigong stood up with a smile, walked slowly to the center of the hall, bowed to the ground in a proper manner, and had a serious face, "My lord Han Lin is handsome, Fujianese, talented, wise, and more good to help the people, meritorious and world-famous, Xuanye in Beijing, defeated the sea in Tianjin, Fuliaomin in the Great Wall, Fuhe Mountain in Ningjin, swallowing the world, inheriting the destiny of the heavens, today, the seat of thousands of miles of land, with 100,000 armor, so I thought that he should be promoted to the king......" Just when everyone was stunned, he leaned over and kowtowed, cheered loudly, "Please remember that my lord is in danger in Shenzhou, the world is suffering, don't be humble and shirk - my king is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the hall immediately came back to their senses, hurriedly knelt down together, and echoed loudly, "My lord's merits are all over the world, Ze is born, please quickly promote to the throne - my king is a thousand years old!" ”

Lin Feng was a little stupid, his brain couldn't turn around for a while, seeing these ministers persuading him one by one, he suddenly understood, he really couldn't smile bitterly, he raised his hand and said with a wry smile, "Okay, okay - gentlemen, get up, here are a few of our monarchs and ministers, don't play this trick," he pointed at Zhou Peigong, "Peigong, your idea is a bit rancid, do you say that we can fool Wu Sangui like this?!" ”

Zhou Peigong stood up with a smile and said, "Didn't the old thief canonize the lord as the 'King of Xinghan County'?!" - Then let's rush to the front and promote ourselves to the throne and call it 'King of Han'! ”

"Is that okay?!" Lin Feng pinched his chin, frowned and thought, "To be honest, this throne is not a big deal, Ben Shuai actually doesn't care at all, let's talk about a broken ** prince, if the situation requires it, even if he ascends the throne and is called the emperor, there is nothing to dare to do - but this trick is too obvious, Wu Sangui, this old guy probably won't buy it!" ”

"Hehe, so-and-so is worried about this!" Zhou Peigong said with a smile, "Whether it is the King of Xinghan or the King of Han, if it is called by the common people, isn't it all called 'King Han'?!" - What can Wu Lao Thief say? If he asks, we can say: Yes, Your Majesty, we really did what you wanted, these foolish people who have traveled thousands of miles do not know the etiquette of the court, and call them indiscriminately, so what can we do?! ”

Lin Feng burst out laughing, and the ministers in the hall couldn't help but laugh at each other.

"Lord, colleagues," Zhou Peigong smiled and saluted, "Actually, what do we want to do here, Wu Lao Thief also knows it, and what he wants is just this name, if we play tricks with him and pretend to be confused, he will never tear his face with us and have to get out of the matter, and this set of methods is not clever, the people of the world are actually clear in their hearts, and no one can hide it!" He shrugged his shoulders, "The so-called politics is nothing more than this set of things - now that his goal has been achieved, he can hype up with his people of the Great Zhou in Jiangnan, saying that under the inspiration of the 'Great Zhou Emperor's virtue', our Han has surrendered; ”

"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!!" Lin Feng laughed and applauded, "Pei Gong is clever and intelligent, and he has won my heart!" ”

"The lord praised it!" Zhou Peigong smiled and thanked him, "So I also ask the lord to order the construction of the royal platform as soon as possible, and advance to the throne before the arrival of the princess of the Great Zhou, and then if the Great Zhou sends the envoy to have some entanglements......"

"Ahem...... cough, this Da Zhou sent the envoy to the family......" Li Guangdi slowly stood up, casually straightened his clothes, and said in a serious manner, "That is where the official function is, please rest assured, the lowly decision will make the envoy understand that our Han government is also a procedural yamen, and official affairs have always been very cautious, so if he is not satisfied, the official will spend ten or eight years patiently to do it for him!" ”
