Volume 2 Reverse Water Chapter 72 (Chapter 4)
If the Eastern Jin Dynasty can be destroyed, this credit will be enough to increase Fu Pi's prestige countless times, and it will be of great benefit to the crown prince in the future. It's a pity that the times make people, and Fu Pi also knows that no matter what, there is no chance to destroy Jin now.
Pei Shengqin suddenly looked at Qi Qing and said, "Does Nanban know that I am in turmoil outside the Saiwai?" ”
"Your Majesty has ordered that this news be blocked from Nanban, and Nanban will not know about it in a short time." Qi Qing said affirmatively.
Pei Shengqin said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it is still the Jin Dynasty that begs us to negotiate peace, and the initiative lies in our dynasty." ”
Fu Pi said blankly: "The initiative? What's the use of this? The negotiation of peace is nothing more than a truce between the two sides, can there still be a fuss in this? ”
Pei Shengqin snickered in his heart, the people of this era are still too pure. As everyone knows, many things that cannot be done on the battlefield can often be done at the negotiating table.
"Your Highness, please let the last general be in charge of negotiating peace, and you will definitely be able to get more benefits for our dynasty."
Pei Shengqin clenched his fists and asked for his life.
......
The envoys sent by the Eastern Jin Dynasty were very sad.
Since the cavalry general Xie Xuan was defeated all the way in Xuzhou and retreated to Bagong Mountain, the voice of peace has dominated the imperial court.
It is said that the Huan clan on the Western Front was trapped between Xiangyang and the White Emperor City, in a dilemma, and was about to starve to death. What to do? Seek peace, if you don't seek peace, when the violent Qin crosses the river, won't the Great Jin Dynasty be cold? Taking advantage of the fact that the tyrannical Qin hadn't made a move, he hurried over to pretend to be his grandson, and I heard that the puppet emperor Fu Jian has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, and maybe he can still pick up a life.
There were more and more voices to negotiate peace, and they were scolded by Pei Shengqin for being sick once, and after seeing the erosion of the front line with their own eyes, Sima Yao and Xie An gradually lost hope for this war, so they agreed to negotiate peace. But this peace negotiation is not something that the Great Jin Dynasty says and discusses, and it has to be agreed by the violent Qin, right?
So, this unlucky ghost became an envoy to cross the river. His purpose was to ask Tyrant Qin if he was willing to negotiate peace.
If the tyrannical Qin is willing to talk, he will go back to report to the imperial court, and the imperial court will send a formal minister to negotiate peace, and the credit will not fall to him as a person who asks questions; If Tyrant Qin didn't want to talk about it, that's what it looks like now.
The envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty lay in the dungeon, crying silently. He knew that this was not a good job, and he refused it at first. But everyone decided, he came to be this pawn, there was no way, who let him mix the worst in the Ministry of Rites.
The imperial court only wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tyrannical Qin in Weishui a few months ago, and now that the tyrannical Qin has begun to fight back, the imperial court wants to sue for peace? No matter how much he thought about it, he felt that Tyrant Qin would not agree, and sure enough, as soon as he explained his intentions, the eldest prince of Tyrant Qin became angry, and he was imprisoned in a dungeon. If it is kept locked up like this, Chen Zong is now always worried, for fear that the eldest prince will be unhappy and slaughter him. Although the two armies do not fight each other, what is Tyrannical Qin, Tyrannical Qin is a kind of barbarian, and it is a barbarian! If they kill themselves, won't they have nowhere to justify?
In this way, in fear, he went through the most difficult period of his life. Until this day, a young man stepped into the dungeon with a smile on his face.
"It's over, this person must be going to take me out and kill my head!"
Thinking so, he couldn't help but pee on his crotch. In the cold winter, the urine froze for a short time, and it was so hard that it froze.
In a daze, he was taken out of the dungeon, out of Shouyang City, and to the edge of the river. Through the water that has begun to freeze, faintly, you can see the crowds on the opposite bank of Bagong Mountain. Chen Zong guessed that he was going to be beheaded by the river, sighed and accepted his fate, he knew the thieves and soldiers of the Beifu soldiers, they were already afraid of Qin like tigers by now, and they couldn't expect them to rush over to save themselves.
He closed his eyes and raised his head, waiting for the executioner's butcher's knife to fall.
After a while, I heard the young man behind him wondering: "Master Chen, what are you still standing for, go back quickly." The ice surface of the water is still thin, and it is easy to crack when there are more people going up, so we will not continue to send you. ”
Chen Zong suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and exclaimed, "You don't kill me?" ”
The young man smiled and said, "What are you going to do, my Great Qin Imperial Court has agreed to negotiate peace, so you can go back and tell your Imperial Court." The time is set for seven days later, and the place is on the water. By then, the river should be frozen harder than it is now, and standing with a hundred and ten people, it is not a big problem. ”
Chen Zong trembled: "Qin Dynasty... Did the Qin Dynasty really agree to negotiate peace? Will you let me go back? ”
The young man said slightly angrily: "What do you mean by this, I can't lie to you?" You don't go to inquire, I, Pei Shengqin, have always been the same! ”
Oh, my God! This young man turned out to be Pei Shengqin! This is a figure who has been in the limelight recently, I heard that he has been mixed with the marquis in the Qin Dynasty!
What a Hou Ye said is naturally true. Chen Zong was happy in his heart, he could still pick up a life, and even rub some credit - although the great merit of negotiating peace will definitely fall to those powerful people in the end, but he can always drink soup without merit and hard work when he goes on a trip.
Chen Zong looked at Pei Shengqin again, and only felt that this young man who made all the people of the Jin Dynasty hate him so much was so pleasing to the eye at this moment. As soon as I saw him, I turned evil into good fortune, what is this? This is your own nobleman!
As soon as Chen Zong was excited, he knelt down with a puff and kowtowed a few times to Pei Shengqin: "Pei Hou's grace of not killing, Qian Mou has written it down, and if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay it." ”
After saying that, he stood up, stepped on the frozen surface of the river, and left towards the south with joy.
Pei Shengqin silently looked at the back of Qian Zongyuan, and stood with his hands in his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.
The generals of the Tiance army who came with him were very puzzled by Pei Shengqin's behavior, and Li Songlin said: "Hou Ye just sent someone to let this Southern Barbarian envoy go, why bother to go this way in person." ”
Li Songlin is very angry, this envoy is only a small official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Pei Sheng Qin is a great Qin Nanchong Marquis, and he actually sent him back to the south in person, and he also brought the generals of the Tiance army to accompany him. In the middle of winter, isn't it cold to stand in the snow and ice? You must know that these high-ranking generals of the Tiance Army, any one, their status is many times higher than that of the southeast barbarian envoys!
Shi Yue was thoughtful, and said, "Master Hou seems to be dealing with that person... Mercy? But the last general can't see it, what is so special about this person that deserves to be treated like this? ”
Pei Shengqin didn't answer, he smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, the people have also been sent away, let's go back." ”
Pei Shengqin naturally wouldn't tell them that the guy who peed his pants just let go would become the founding emperor of Xishu in twenty years. Although history has changed, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is estimated to have no way to snatch back Shu from the hands of Qianqin, this does not prevent Pei Shengqin from laying a foreshadowing at this time. If you return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you can still rebel in the future, and if you can't be the Emperor of Xishu, you can still be the Emperor of Western Wu and the Emperor of Xiyue.
Originally, he was a traitor, and if he showed favor to him now, if he wanted to do something in the future, maybe he would come to the door to collude with Pei Shengqin, which was naturally a happy thing.
