Chapter Forty-Six: Darkness Chencang

At that time, so many people in the Hanlin Academy were so enthusiastic about traveling at public expense, but when it was really time for them to come to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites to register, but there was no one, Roy waited for a day or two days with his cheeks up, and the mission was about to leave, but there were almost no officials accompanying him! Roy was a little irritable, he wanted to go to Hanlin again to see what happened to make this group of people change their minds, just stood up and didn't leave the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and he collided with Hanlin again.

I saw that they were wearing court clothes, not at all like the sloppy and casual when they looked at the Hanlin Yamen, and I saw them saluting to Roy in unison: "Examiner Luo, we have memorized all the contents of the national law, and I also ask Examiner Luo to inspect it." Roy was still a little angry, and he asked, "Why didn't you come a few days ago, but my mission was about to depart, so you thought about coming." They looked at each other, and the young Hanlin said: "My lord, it's not that we don't come, our Hanlin Yamen has been in the law of the country after knowing your requirements, and we have also held three exams in charge, only those of us who have passed can come to you for assessment, this is a major matter for the country, and we must not be sloppy at all." ”

What he said simply moved Roy, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, no one dared to ask about the envoy to Mongolia, everyone knew that this might be a journey to and from nowhere, but the Hanlin Academy still admitted death as always, such a literati style, he thought that this world no longer existed. "What is the basis of my Great Zhou legislation?" "My lord, my Great Zhou absorbed the lessons of the ancient Warring States disputes, and it was to govern the country by heavy discipline." "What should I do if I sin against the Mongols within my borders?" "Deal with it in accordance with our laws and regulations, and ask Mongolia to hand over its personnel."

This is too brainless, Roy covered his head and asked, "What if Mongolia refuses to hand over people?" These words stopped the Hanlin, and they looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while. Roy waved his hand: "Just get here first, please pack up tomorrow and report to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, don't bring your wife and children, it's best to bring fewer slaves, please go back." After sending off the Hanlin, Roy took a breath, straightened his crown, and went to the palace to say goodbye to the emperor.

Seeing him, the emperor was a little surprised: "I heard that you haven't gathered any people from the mission, how can you send an envoy?" Roy smiled: "Your Majesty, the mission is already sufficient, and neither the two parties nor the two factions want to get involved, so the minister has to find some people who are not willing to get involved in their party struggle to accompany the minister." The emperor was very curious about this sale, and he asked, "Who is it?" Isn't it too bad to be reluctant to participate in partisanship? "Hanlin Academy." This is not unusual, the emperor pouted, he knows about the gang of people in the Hanlin Academy, he has no knowledge, just a group of people who are dead studying, can they? "Your Majesty, are you suspicious of the Hanlin Academy?" "That's not the case, the scholar is a person, but the scholar who has been in the officialdom all the year round will inevitably be stained with a little fireworks." "Okay, then you can go, I said, let Mongolia stop outside the customs, no entry into the customs, money can be discussed, but it is impossible to cut the land and claim the vassal."

Chen Bing 200,000 under the city of Gyeonggi, in the military tent, Zhao Qian asked: "Did they really go to Mongolia to negotiate peace?" Xu Yuan nodded: "The mission has set off the day before yesterday, if they negotiate peace, then we will definitely die." "We're already under the city, and there's no other choice, let's attack the city. Qin Qi also went to the city of Gyeonggi by holy order, and the emperor personally summoned him: "General Qin, I know that you have guarded the Shanhaiguan since the middle of the previous emperor's dynasty, and Mongolia will not dare to commit it. Qin Qi nodded: "The minister heard in the north, this time it is Prince Shen's rebellion, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to quell the rebellion." The emperor asked, "Zihui, how many soldiers and horses are there in Gyeonggi?" Liu Huizu said: "There are still 200,000 soldiers and horses in the city. The emperor nodded: "That is the case, General Qin, do you think that I am going to drive the expedition in person?" ”

This sentence is simply a naked temptation, Qin Qi quickly knelt down and said: "If Your Majesty wants to conquer in person, it is not impossible, the minister is willing to saddle the horse for Your Majesty, but Jiangshan Sheji is tied to Your Majesty, and you must not act rashly." Obviously, this was not the answer the emperor wanted, and he frowned: "Does General Qin think that I can't win the battle?" When I was in the grassland..."Qin Qi interrupted him, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Your Majesty, at this time and that time, now Your Majesty is a daughter, the eldest prince is young, Your Majesty can't!" ”

After Qin Qi left, the emperor asked Liu Huizu: "Look, is Qin Qi available?" Liu Huizu said: "Now the capital of Gyeonggi is surrounded by rebel regiments, we only have these 200,000 soldiers and horses, if all of them are handed over to him, if Xu Yuan sends people to besiege it, the city will be in danger." The emperor was a little puzzled: "Can I not give it all to him?" I gave him 100,000? Fifty thousand? Liu Huizu said again: "I heard that in the north, the generals often fight together, communicate with each other, and are all brothers in the same comrades, so come to think of it, Ren Qiu and Xu Shu and Qin Qi have a very deep friendship, so are they willing to fight with their brothers for Your Majesty?" ”

The next day, in Qin Qi's Earl's Mansion under the holy decree, Qin Qi took his family to receive the order, only to hear the emperor affirm Qin Qi's achievements in the north, and the hard work of going back and forth, and finally decided to let him take the delegation to Prince Shen to negotiate peace. Qin Qi was dumbfounded, he was originally leading the troops to quell the chaos, but now he has become the leader of the mission to recruit An, and there are no soldiers and horses, so let him go to the mission? He's the one who recruits security. In this way, the confused general came to Prince Shen's military tent with a confused mission.

Originally, as soon as he heard that the imperial court came to discuss peace, Zhao Qian directly refused, "Only did the soldiers come to the city to remember to recruit us?" Why did you go earlier, what kind of mission, it's all a lie, blast out! Xu Yuan came into the tent and saw Zhaoqian's rare anger, so he asked the herald: "What's the matter, why is His Highness so angry?" The herald said, "The imperial court has sent an envoy to recruit us." "Who led the mission?" "My subordinates don't know." "Then go ahead and ask." He entered the military tent and saw that Zhao Qian was no longer as out of shape as he was just now, but he was still a little cold, "General Xu is here, what do you have to report?" Xu Yuan asked, "Why did Your Highness refuse to let Zhao'an's mission meet you?" ”

"I started my army in Neiqiu City, and in the past six months, there have been dozens of large and small cities to conquer, and now the soldiers are strong and strong, and the soldiers are coming to the city of Gyeonggi, seeing that the throne is mine, why should I recruit peace?" Xu Yuan nodded, "Your Highness is right, but who are the officials in the mission?" ”
