The early morning sun shines into the palace, and the upturned cornices project the curved arc into the corridor. Shi Chongwei, the Son of Heaven, sat on his shoulder, his eyes swept over the familiar pavilion and palace, and the palace that originally seemed to be decayed was rebuilt, repaired, and painted to regain its golden brilliance, showing vitality.

Compared with when his father was alive, the harem has taken on a new look, the queen mother moved to Yanshan Villa to recuperate, Concubine Liu and Concubine Huang went out of the palace, and a group of female officials and palace maids left the palace, making the harem a lot more deserted, but by September, the harem will usher in many beautiful women of young age, which is more lively and angry than before.

The shoulder chariot stopped on the east side of the Zichen Palace, and Shi Chongwei entered the hall, sat down on the throne, and glanced at the ministers who were kneeling. There is no Shi Chongjie under the jade steps, and his vision is much broader, and his mood is much more comfortable.

With a sound of "free courtesy", the Chang Dynasty in the Zichen Hall began, and in addition to Kong Xiang, who could be among the Zichen Palace, there were six Shangshu, Jiuqing Qingzheng and five members of the five members who had important things to report. After Ma Suizhen was driven out of Beijing by Shi Chongwei, Shi Chongwei has not appointed the right minister, and Duan Cizong, the secretary of the ministry, temporarily helped Kong Xiang deal with court affairs.

Once the Son of Heaven and a courtier, the personnel changes in the court are inevitable, there are many vacant positions, Ma Suizhen left the right phase no one to fight, the position of the imperial historian Huang Ping is a lot of people's eyes, if Duan Cizong becomes the right minister, the Ministry of Shangshu is fat, and the household department Shangshu Yu Zhijie has asked for Zhishi several times, the Son of Heaven dismissed, but this old man has already decided, it is estimated that his position will also be given up, and there are twenty-seven states of the history of the thorn, there must be a few changes, the successor of the Fengchuan Prefecture Thorn History Fang Shishu has been selected.

Everything is in the making, the undercurrents in the court and officialdom are turbulent, there are more meat and wolves, hundreds of officials are looking for their own ways, and officials from various states have sent people to Beijing to find relations, and they are intertwined and wary of each other. The business of restaurants and green buildings is unusually prosperous, trading in the sound of sheng songs......

Shi Chongwei, who was sitting on the throne, knew this well, and Huang Xi, the Secret Guard Governor, would report the dynamics of Jingzhong to his desk in detail every two days," ...... Xuanwu Hou secretly dismissed his family, many clansmen went to Chuzhou, and Huang Ping, the imperial historian, closed the door to thank the guests...... Taichang Shaoqing Cheng Mingdao Mansion is like a bazaar in front of the house, and the red envelopes collected by the door every day are more than 100 taels ......", his eyes swept over the courtiers, and Shi Chongwei felt that everything was under control.

The throne under the ass is very exquisite, the former dynasty Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Hall are on a central axis, this line dominates the overall situation of the palace, and it is where the royal dragon vein is, which can ensure the safety of the country. The throne is set on the node of the dragon vein, only the true dragon son can sit, Shi Chongwei feels that he has an invisible luck line connected with the ministers of His Royal Highness on the throne, and the luck of the courtiers is connected to the people of the world, every grass and tree of this great Zheng country grows and flutters with his breath, no wonder it is said that "thunder, rain and dew are all holy graces". Get close to yourself to give some rain and dew, and alienate those who disobey me and give them thunder, although Cheng Mingdao is greedy, but he is shrewd and capable, and he has to use it much more than most courtiers, and I just don't know if I get some benefits for myself.

His eyes fell on Huang Ping, this imperial doctor stood in the middle of the court, his eyes drooped, and he didn't say a word, Huang Ping has been like this for the past few months, probably knowing that he has not been in the court for a long time, hmph, when I was the prince, Huang Ping did not hesitate to wave the flag for Shi Chongjie and shout against me, and waited for me to free up my hand to send him away.

The thought turned to the third brother Shi Chongren, Shi Chongwei was slightly pleased, although the third brother was not close to him, but he did not dare to slack off on his will, when he went out of Beijing, I secretly told him to go to Huazhou to see, he just arrived at the palace of Wuyang Mansion and went to Huazhou without repairing it, and also sent me a detailed report, and he was quite loyal. Shi Chongren said in the letter that there was a vacancy in the Luo Wangfu, and asked me to send someone to serve as an official, compared to Shi Chongjie's posting of a recruitment order as soon as he arrived in the Yongning Mansion in Chuzhou, which made the subjects of the world talk a lot, and his heart could be punished. Compared with him, the third brother abides by the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and asks me to play if he can persevere, I will leave a reputation of brother, friend and brother in the history books.

The prosperity and wealth of Huazhou mentioned in the chapter make people happy, but Jiang Anyi's prestige in Huazhou is too high to make people worry, Shi Chongwei's brows frowned slightly, Jiang Anyi is a capable minister, his father said that he is a national soldier, and he does have the ability to be a national soldier, but he treats me with far less sincerity than his father, and the birthday silver for the queen mother has not been presented for so long.

"Long live, the minister Lin Bin has a book." Fang Linbin, the Qing of Guanglu Temple, came out of the class and called Shi Chongwei's attention back, Shi Chongwei straightened his waist on the throne, and the highlight of this year's court meeting came.

"Long live the ministers, Guanglu Temple Zuo Shaoqing Chen Yinguang and Mo He have agreed, the existing peace treaty is submitted, please long live the royal view." Fang Linbin raised the peace treaty high with both hands, and Zhang Jin, the eunuch of Bingli, took the peace agreement and presented it to the dragon book case.

Shi Chongwei received Chen Yinguang's secret recital as early as two days ago, and he was very clear about the content. Emperor Su failed to conquer the north, and ended up with regrets, 200,000 desert people under the leadership of Li Man continued to attack the north of the city, the marshal Qi Xinwen defended the city, and the people of the desert relied on the advantage of the thunderbolt car, and the north of the north of the town came forward several times to be in danger. Qi Xinwen led a heavy cavalry assault, and the slashing team marched into battle, so that the decline was stabilized, and the Ministry of Industry transported the improved thunderbolt to the north of the town, and the northern line was stabilized. The Mo people no longer attacked Zhenbei City, but plundered everywhere, and those tribes who surrendered to Zheng Guo returned to Mo Guo, or entered Zheng Guo Pass one after another.

After Li Man repelled the Zheng army, his prestige in the hearts of the Mo people grew, most of the tribal leaders asked Li Man to inherit the throne of the Khan, with the advent of winter, it was not suitable to move troops, Li Man led the army back to the royal court, seeking the throne of the Khan, and Kun Bo was unwilling to fail, and tried his best to win over the people to compete with Li Man. Zheng Mo fought, both were defeated, Emperor Su died, hundreds of thousands of Zheng troops were defeated, the treasury was empty, and the life of the desert people was not easy, the cattle and sheep were exhausted, nearly 200,000 young and strong people died in battle, and many tribes disappeared. Qu Guidao proposed to negotiate peace with Zheng Ren in the royal court meeting, and demanded compensation from Zheng Ren, restarted the Yongchang, transportation and trade, and restored his vitality. This suggestion was supported by His Holiness and the Holy Maiden, so Mo Ting sent an envoy to the court to restart the peace talks.

It coincided with Shi Chongwei's accession to the throne, the treasury was empty, and he was anxious to end this protracted war, and the arrival of the desert envoy gave Shi Chongwei a step, and he immediately agreed to send Chen Yinguang, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, as an envoy to Zhenbei City to negotiate. Before leaving, Shi Chongwei summoned Chen Yinguang to play, secretly instructed the opportunity, and drew two conditions: first, the desert land occupied by Zheng Guo must not be granted, and the land south of Zhenbei City must not be allowed to be retreated at all; Second, if a deserter asks for gold and silver, he may wish to allow it. Shi Chongwei asked Chen Yinguang to act cheaply, conclude a peace treaty as soon as possible, and calm the people's hearts.

Shi Chongwei did not let Kong Province be present when he summoned Chen Yinguang to play, because Kong Province's attitude was unwilling to back down. Kong Province believes that after spending such a big price to pacify the northern troubles, it is even more difficult for Zheng Guo to be indifferent, and the indifferent people are young and strong and die in battle, and they are actually unable to go south, and Liman and Kunbo compete for the throne of Khan, and the country is unstable. Zheng Guo's great cause is great, although there are difficulties in front of him, but the vitality will recover after two or three years of recuperation, but the desert people can't afford to drag it out, the camp in the north of the town is firmly inserted in the body of the desert people, and one day the blood of the desert people will be drained, and then they will win without a fight.

Chen Yinguang entered the palace and played, Kong Province knew, and when he left the palace, he sent someone to Zuo Xiang's Mansion to inquire about the situation, Chen Yinguang did not dare to hide Kong Province, and told Kong Xiang what the Son of Heaven said that he would not abandon the soil and spend silver. After hearing this, Kong Province shook his head and sighed, and said: "The Son of Heaven is anxious to calm down the external troubles, and he is afraid that the indifferent people will seize the psychology of the Son of Heaven and ask for it excessively, Chen Yinguang, the old man doesn't care what future the Son of Heaven has promised you, go to negotiate with the Desert People, the land cannot be lost, and the amount of gold, silver, grain and grass and other things cannot exceed one million taels, otherwise the old man will lead the Manchu Dynasty to impeach you for betraying the country for glory and beheading you to thank the world." Chen Yinguang, you are so self-conscious. ”

Waiting for Chen Yinguang to leave, Kong Province Qi was full of faces, and the Son of Heaven did not discuss such a major matter with Mohe, obviously because he was afraid of his opposition. He can understand the psychology of the Son of Heaven who is anxious to make peace, but at this time, the compensation for the indifferent people and property is clearly the enemy, and the results of Emperor Su's two northern expeditions are clean except for a little land. After the desert people get the property of the Central Plains, they can take advantage of this to relieve their breath, and when the new generation of desert people grows up in three or five years, the north is afraid that the war will be rekindled. The Son of Heaven wants to stabilize the north, but I am afraid that it will backfire.

In Zhenbei City, Chen Yinguang had a meeting with the desert envoy Kadoshi (the Venerable Master of Kalu), and through the inside line Kalu, he had a clear understanding of Zheng Guo's eagerness to reach a peace treaty, and his attitude was tough during the peace talks, and he demanded a lot, and he got along with Chen Yinguang very happily in private, gave Chen Yinguang a lot of jewelry, and learned Zheng Guo's bottom line from the drunken Chen Yinguang's mouth.

At the beginning of May, the three-month peace talks were finally reached, and the two sides agreed: 20 miles north of Zhenbei City as the boundary, the north of the boundary belongs to Mo, and the south of the boundary belongs to Zheng; In order to compensate for the loss of the desert people, Zheng Guo subsidized the desert country every year with one million taels of grain (the average price of Dazheng grain was 300 wen and one stone, and one million stone was converted into 300,000 taels of silver), 500,000 taels of porcelain, tea and silk, and 500 craftsmen of various kinds were converted into 200,000 taels of silver; restore the border markets and allow people on both sides to trade; About a brotherly country, Mo is a brother, Zheng is a brother, and so on.

After receiving Chen Yinguang's secret recital, Shi Chong was overjoyed, what is the property of a few million taels to Da Zheng, that is, the tax of Xiazhou can be offset for a year, as long as Zhenbei City is not lost, this peace treaty is very beneficial to Zheng Guo, and Chen Yinguang has made great contributions.

Summoning Kong Province into the imperial study, Shi Chongwei proudly told Kong Province the contents of this peace treaty. Kong Province sighed secretly, if the desert people want gold, silver, silk and other things, they might as well have more, but millions of stone grains can allow the desert people to tide over the winter difficulties, not to mention the harm that craftsmen bring to Zheng Guo when they enter the desert.

However, Shi Chongwei's face was full of joy, his mind had been decided, Kong Province raised the worry that it was refuted by the Son of Heaven and did not speak again, and with the acquiescence of the prime minister, Shi Chongwei officially announced this peace treaty in the court.
