Chapter 511: This Year's Flower Color Change (2)
Meng Fusheng was still reluctant in his heart, but he also understood that both of them had their own responsibilities, he had to take good care of Yan'er, and his senior brother had to be responsible for the villa, which was the responsibility left to him by the master.
Meng Fusheng hugged him goodbye.
Mu Shengyun's nose was sour, and he despised himself a little, feeling that he was really going back more and more, and he loved to cry more than his junior brother.
But before letting go of Meng Fusheng, he still couldn't help but admonish: "You must come back more often when you are free, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." ”
Meng Fusheng patted him on the shoulder and nodded heavily.
Su Ming has now reached the border, and he has been there for several days, and it is strange to say it, I don't know if Cangguo is afraid of him, in the days when he came to the border, he has been guarding himself, and he has not even crossed the boundary, and he is active in his own territory all day long, if it hadn't happened a few days ago in the Kunguo territory, he didn't think their behavior was strange?
But now, the more he thought about it, the stranger it became.
That day, he was reading a book of soldiers in the barracks, when a stunned little soldier suddenly came in and said, "General, there are people outside who claim to be the messenger of Cangguo and want to come to you." ”
Su Ming took his eyes off the book of war and landed on the person in front of him, "What are you looking for General Ben to do?" ”
The little soldier looked very stupid, scratched his head stupidly, and smiled even more stupidly, "I don't know this, he said that if he can't see you, he won't say anything, and save him alone." ”
Su Ming put down the book, "Then let him in, General Ben wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Cangguo people, if he doesn't stay in his own house, he just drills us here." ”
The little soldier grinned and showed his white teeth, answered loudly, and went out.
After a while, the envoy who was dressed in the style of Cangguo was brought in, a tall middle-aged man, gorgeously dressed and very thin, but the glittering light in those eyes could make people clearly know that this person was not a good stubble.
Su Ming didn't bother to pay attention to this person and looked at him lazily.
The other party was generous and enthusiastic, and first greeted respectfully and politely, "Your general is really mighty, no wonder a few rabbit cubs under my command always praise the general's demeanor." ”
Su Ming naturally wouldn't believe his, and waved his hand unreasonably, "Let's talk about it bluntly, what is your identity, what are you doing here?" ”
The other party laughed and did not hesitate to praise him, "Your country is rich in land and resources, and the general is also a bold person, so I won't say kind words if this is the case." I have come this time on the orders of our Emperor to discuss with your Emperor about the signing of a peace treaty. ”
Peace treaty? Su Ming's eyebrows jumped fiercely, looking at the envoy, his expression was cloudy, "To be honest, I don't see that your country has the intention of signing a peace agreement, our two countries can be said to have no grudges before and no enmity after the end, and there is no old grudge to communicate, but your country suddenly and frequently harassed our country some time ago, is this your country's sincerity to seek peace?" ”
The envoy whined and said wrongedly, "The general misunderstood me, it is really my country has always admired the heroic posture of your country, so I want to come here secretly to learn something, just for fear of being discovered by your country and misunderstood, it must be that some of the people below are not clean, all of them are my royal subordinates, let the general see the joke, I will punish them well when I go back, and I hope that the general will not spoil the friendly exchanges between our two countries because of this little thing." ”
Su Ming's pupils shrank, and his gaze kept lingering on his face, but the other party's expression was calm and respectful, and his eyebrows were full of sincerity, and he couldn't even see any clues.
"Okay, I'll go back and report to the emperor."
Su Ming asked the envoy to be sent away, and he personally wrote a letter to Du Weizhen, and he hesitated a little before putting pen to paper.
He intuitively felt that the envoy who had just come was not a good man, he was as cunning as a fox, but he really couldn't find fault with his words and deeds, and his feelings couldn't explain anything.
Su Ming has lived half his life and spent almost most of his time on the battlefield, but this is not to say that he likes to fight, isn't the reason why he fights is for the peace and well-being of the people behind him? Now that there is a ready-made opportunity at hand, how can he put the cart before the horse?
As for the people sent by the Cangguo?
Su Ming laughed at himself, he was just a reckless man who could only fight, and these brain-wrenching things should be handed over to those adults with powerful pens and mouths, and they would be considered to be of full use.
He wrote down today's events and the other party's intentions, and when describing the envoys of Cangguo, he used a very objective attitude, and did not mix prejudice because of his dislike for the other party, and he didn't want to affect the emperor's decision because of his immature conjecture.
After writing the letter, he solemnly put it away and let his subordinates send it back to the imperial city as quickly as possible.
Du Weizhen received the letter three days later, at first he thought that something had happened at the border, Su Ming wrote a letter back to ask for help, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of thing, after reading the content of the letter, a doubt appeared in his mind - why did Cangguo ask for peace?
It stands to reason that with the strength of Cangguo, there is no need to be attached to another country, otherwise it cannot become one of the countries with a long history in the mainland, and they have had a lot of intersections with Du Chenliang, but Cangguo proposed to sign a peace agreement when Du Chenliang was imprisoned, which makes him can't help but think about it, does this matter have anything to do with Du Chenliang?
Du Weizhen was an emperor who was good at accepting advice and learning from others, and he couldn't think of a reason for it alone, so he simply summoned a large number of ministers who were good at strategizing in the court.
The imperial study was brightly lit and lively for a night, until the early morning dawn before the movement gradually subsided, and then the door of the imperial study was opened, and the first to come out was Wang Suping, the prime minister with the highest status except Du Weizhen, and the other ministers also followed him and rushed out, and the eyes of each were blue and black, but their faces were relaxed, presumably because of the results of this night's discussion.
Du Weizhen was the only one left in the imperial study, he poured himself a cup of strong tea, and after drinking it, he felt a lot more energetic, and then wrote down on the paper the decision they discussed all night - to summon the envoys of Cangguo to come to the Hajj.
Meng Fusheng didn't know anything about these things, not because he didn't care, but because all his energy was on Du Yueyan, chatting and playing with her, it could be said that he couldn't think about it.
But on a sudden thunderous and rainy night, he suddenly remembered something that he had forgotten and was only hidden in the depths of his memory.
It was his first birthday at Liuyun Villa, and how lively it was during the day, how lonely it was at night.
I didn't know what it was to be scared, but I was scared and cried by a sudden storm.
