Chapter 45: The Strange Man of the Hanlin Academy
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Roy fixedly, not moving for a while. This made the always sleek Roy feel a little embarrassed, he snorted and was about to leave, when someone suddenly yelled behind him: "Slow! Don't run! When Roy heard this, he ran away, and his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by a young Hanlin. He hasn't run out of the yamen yet, close the door! The little guy guarding the door came to his senses and quickly closed the door, Roy looked at the Hanlin who were pressing towards him step by step, and sat on the ground in fright: "What do you want to do?" Don't come here..."
In the yamen of the governor of Baoding Mansion, Zhao Qian was dressed in a prince's uniform, officially called the king, he looked at the civil and military officials who bowed down to him below, and his heart was also full of emotion, a few years ago, he was still Liu Huizu's prisoner. And now, he owns the two cities of Baoding and Handan, and now Xu Yuan also came from the military tent under the city of Cangzhou to participate in his enthronement ceremony. From now on, he is no longer a nobody, no longer a nobody, even if there is no canonization ceremony from the imperial brother, he is the only son of Prince Shen and the undisputed heir to the throne.
King Qin's order was issued, and the Mongolian spies also secretly transmitted the news back to the Great Khan's royal tent, at this time it was an attack or peace, and the ministers were divided into two camps. However, the crown prince thinks that Qin Qi is guarding the northern border, and the Great Wall is dangerous, so he should not take risks easily, but should recuperate and take advantage of peace. The Great Khan let them quarrel in the hall without saying anything, and in his opinion, both methods were not impossible, but both were feasible, depending on which of them could convince whom.
Suddenly, King Huai quarreled: "How old are you to quarrel here, are you qualified?" Immortal Heaven is above, and you were still nursing in your arms when I fought the world with the Great Khan. The scene quieted down, and the Great Khan was a little annoyed in his heart, the crown prince was his appointed heir, and now that he was not dead, King Huai dared to openly question the qualifications of the crown prince in front of him, so what if his soul returned to the immortal heaven? Isn't the royal court he worked so hard to unify about to fall apart? Thinking of this, the old Khan King was extremely annoyed, he slapped the case and yelled at King Huai: "Who do you think you are? You are nothing but my retainer, when will it be your turn to question the future king of the steppes? Someone, get him out of here! ”
This big stick beat King Huai a little stunned, he always thought that the old Khan King was unwilling to let go of power, and now he found that he was wrong, although the old Han King still stubbornly guarded the glory of his family and refused to let others take away a slight, when King Chang was defeated, he promised that the Horqin grassland belonged to his herdsmen, but he still let other princes share it with him, which in his opinion, is deception. Now that he was going to surrender willingly at the feet of the hairy boy, King Huai clenched his fists, turned around and walked towards the handsome tent of the Great Khan.
"Great Khan, it is the ministers who are not thoughtful, and the court will only verbally collide with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as my king gives an order, the ministers are willing to cut their fingers to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to apologize." "No need, you have to remember your identity, this king knocked you, just to let you remember this, you have conquered various tribes in Mongolia with me, I am not without you in return, your people are no longer slaves now, I also give them herdsmen and horses, I am old, now I want to give these to the prince, my throne, my herdsmen." The Great Khan looked at King Huai and stopped talking. "Don't worry, Great Khan, minister, it's just an eagle dog in your hands, immortal heaven is above, I will be loyal to your family until the end of my life, and my children and grandchildren will also be loyal for generations." Boss Khan got the information he wanted, and he nodded in satisfaction. "Stand down, I'll remember your words."
On the upper floor of Cangzhou City, the flag has been quietly replaced by Prince Shen's royal flag, and the class teacher returned to the dynasty, Xu Yuan and Zhaoqian had a disagreement in the next strategy. Zhao Qian said: "General Xu has been running all the way, going back and forth, why don't you take the opportunity to cut off the grain and grass in the north and use it for your own use?" Xu Yuan said: "Your Highness, although our army does not have much food and grass at present, the spearhead of the northern army is not us, they are our last line of defense against Mongolia." Zhao Qian nodded: "Okay, tell me, your next military strategy." ”
"The minister thinks that now it is time to gather troops and horses to attack Gyeonggi, King Qin's order has been announced in the world, and the army of King Qin is being summoned everywhere, according to the subordinates, it is better to attack Gyeonggi and seize the opportunity, otherwise if the army presses the border, our will be in a difficult position." Zhao Qian was a little excited, he stood up, "Really, is it really time for us to turn the heavens and the earth?" Xu Yuan looked into his eyes and said, "Your Highness, since we came out of the mountain, we have been turning the heavens and the earth. "Do you have a chance of winning?" "Nope." Xu Yuan sat down and poured himself a glass of wine. "Then why do you insist on fighting?" Zhao Qian was anxious. "If you don't fight now, you will never be able to capture Gyeonggi, the form is changeable, what if Mongolia and the Great Zhou negotiate peace? The Northern Army will be able to clean us up after turning around, and now, it is the time, whether there is a chance of victory or not, we must fight. ”
In the Hanlin Courtyard, Roy was surrounded by the Hanlin people. He swallowed a mouthful of spit, barely trying to keep himself calm. "Guys, what's the matter with you keeping me here? If you have something to say, let's talk slowly. The young Hanlin, who grabbed him by the sleeve, asked, "Who are you?" Why are you making a fuss in my Hanlin Academy? "I am Roy, the squire of the Ministry of Rites, and I have come here to choose a man to accompany me as an envoy to Mongolia." Hanlin's eyes lit up, and they said in a gossipy voice: "Hey grassland, I heard that there are many famous mountains and rivers to pass along the way. "Traveling at public expense, I have long wanted to go to the north." "Envoy for the country, how many people will be admired for writing my inscription in the future."
Roy smiled coldly: "I didn't say I wanted you." He then asked, "What is your daily work in the Hanlin Academy?" One of the Hanlin replied, "We will repair the book, draft the holy decree, and read for the prince." Roy nodded, he stood up, stretched out a hand to the group, and pointed: "You guys, you guys have never seen the world, hey, don't stare at you, just talk about you, old man." Have you ever seen those 'lonely smoke in the desert, the sunset on the long river' in the books all day long? Have you ever seen a ridge with peaks on the side of the ridge, and different heights from far and near? At most, you are going out to fish and climb the hills in the suburbs of Gyeonggi, and the books you cultivate and the books you cultivate with the sages lack a little knowledge. He saw that those people's eyes were straight, and he boldly continued to flicker: "If anyone can send an envoy, then why do you need a sage, so I know that you have been bored for a long time before I came to give you this opportunity." I want to know the laws of my Great Zhou Kingdom, every article of the national law must be clear, come to the Ministry of Rites Yamen to find me, do you see it clearly? I, don't make a mistake. ”
