"Ah", hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously cried out first, and then there was a burst of bitter crying, and all of a sudden, the ministers also began to cry!

"Don't cry!" Liu Bowen couldn't help but shout!

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then took a long breath, and then spit it out again, and only after doing so a few times did he calm down! The ministers also dared to put away their tears, and it seemed that they were all stunned.

Liu Bowen sighed, but barely calmed down, and then asked Li Shanchang: "Prime Minister, I'm afraid that there is more than one news, why don't you tell me the specific situation, and let's think about countermeasures!"

Only then did Li Shanchang take out the national letter drafted by Pei Yingxue on behalf of Dayuan, and handed it to Liu Bowen: "Bowen, I'm very upset at this time, you help me read it, I have to think rationally!"

Liu Bowen hurriedly took the letter of the Great Yuan and read it: "I, the Great Yuan, originally planned to entrust the Central Plains to Zhu, and the two sides lived in peace! However, the other side was so hard that they wanted to annihilate our Mongolian army, and the Chang thief even led 100,000 iron horsemen deep into our grassland, and we were forced to fight back! Now I have shot the Chang thief to death, and I remember his bravery and return his body! You did not regret it, and ordered the three thieves Xu, Hu, and Lan to lead an army of 200,000 to invade our grassland, and the Tang thief led 200,000 to try to cover up and kill us! Our steppe has been counterattacking since then, and now we have gathered more than 2 million Mongolian troops, surrounded the four thieves, and have taken Juyong Pass, and our troops are under the capital! However, we will remember that the people of the Central Plains have gone through war and turmoil and have suffered unspeakably, so we will give you the opportunity to repent! Today, I will take Princess Pian Yue and her party south along the coastal road to settle the dispute between the two sides, and we will soon arrive in Yingtian, so we must wait carefully! Otherwise, we will destroy the four thieves of Xu, Hu, Lan, and Tang and their 400,000 men! We will go straight down to the capital, sweep away the Ming thieves, and return the people of the Central Plains to the Langlang Qiankun! The edict of Emperor Shun of the Great Yuan!

After he finished reading, he sighed unconsciously, and actually smiled: "Good literary style, good spirit, I don't know who came from it! This calligraphy is also first-class, like the brushwork of Chu Suiliang of the Tang Dynasty, and Ouyang Xun's style and bones, it's really good!"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Zhu Yuanzhang was already stunned when he heard this, but after listening to Liu Bowen's words, he didn't feel angry, and his eyes were like nails nailed to Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen suddenly woke up, and quickly knelt down to ask for his sin: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister saw that the calligraphy was good-looking and the writing was excellent, so he sighed, please forgive the emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was like a dark cloud, and when he was about to have a seizure, Li Shanchang had already come to his senses, and hurriedly smiled: "Well, although Berwyn's words are inappropriate, but at this time when the world is turned upside down, can the emperor calm down first, it is important for us to solve this major matter, Berwyn must have a good plan, the emperor might as well listen to Berwyn's words, how about it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses and hurriedly smiled: "In this way, there is still room for things to turn around, I don't know what Mr. Berwyn has to do?"

"For today's plan, we can only brake quietly! I think that our 400,000 army surrounded will not have major casualties for the time being, and we can only receive Princess Liyue and her party according to what the Great Yuan State Book says, listen to their intentions first, and then make plans!" Liu Bowen said quietly.

But I was secretly thinking: The other party must be about to open his mouth, how to deal with it?

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, and then calmed his mind a little, but he looked suspicious again, and smiled: "Prime Minister, what do you think?

"This is certain! Princess Lianyue's previous actions were all deliberately given back to us this beautiful Central Plains land, but some of us did not cherish it and were bent on provoking disputes, which led to this disaster! Therefore, Wei Yong, you should ask the emperor for guilt, if it weren't for your nonsense, how could the emperor order our army to enter the prairie? Princess Lianyue, as well as Prince Xiaohan and Princess Taiping, had already warned us that we were not allowed to chase us out of the Great Wall, and they all blamed us for being ignorant! Therefore, this time, we must first lower our posture, otherwise, our 400,000-strong army will be gone! In this case, I am in danger!" Li Shanchang also said bluntly this time.

Of course, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's insistence, but he can't take responsibility, only let Hu Weiyong and other belligerents take care of it, otherwise, it will be difficult to have a standard for this dynasty, this time, there is only sacrifice for Hu Weiyong!

"Ah!" Hu Weiyong heard this, so he had to quickly kneel down and ask for his guilt: "The emperor forgives the sin, it is because we don't know what happened, and we have failed the emperor's expectations, and the minister asks the emperor to punish the crime!"

Suddenly, the people who were enthusiastic and suggested going to war knelt down one by one to plead guilty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Li Shanchang's thoughts: It seems that although this prime minister has the desire to free himself, he does not want to punish the ministers;

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, smiled bitterly a few times, and then smiled: "You guys get up, it's also my fault for being too anxious for this matter, if in another ten years, our troops are strong, and then we go to the grassland, maybe, we will be able to win! Forget it, now everyone wants to think of a way, how to deal with Princess Lianyue's Xingshi questioning trip, how can we maintain my Ming is the best policy! Well, what advice does Mr. Berwyn have for the Qing Officer?"

"Weichen thinks that we have to hold a grand state funeral, give General Chang a grand funeral, and at the same time, arouse the heart of my Ming soldiers to work hard, of course, but also clearly show Princess Lianyue that I have the heart of the whole country and the same enemy!

Li Shanchang hurriedly seconded the proposal: "Yes, yes, Berwyn is right, we must use the funeral of General Chang to give a warning to the people, and at the same time, we must also unite the whole country and prepare to resist the invasion of Dayuan, so that we can have the opportunity to take the initiative!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face gradually became normal, and he smiled: "Okay, very good! Hu Weiyong, you preside over the funeral of General Changda, and the Ministry of Rites will make a rule, and we will make a public sacrifice! Berwyn and Shanchang are responsible for drafting the negotiations, let's be a little prepared first, and when we hear what Princess Liyue means, we will talk about the negotiations!"

"Yes! Emperor Shengming!" The ministers hurriedly knelt down, and they all showed joy again: At least, this Daming can't collapse at the moment, otherwise, one by one, they will have to go to Dayuan to serve hard labor?

Liu Bowen returned to the mansion, and before his ass was hot, Li Shanchang's family came to invite him to the prime minister's mansion to discuss.

When he arrived at the Li Mansion, he saw that the important ministers of the imperial court had basically arrived, and he felt a little embarrassed: Will this make Zhu Yuanzhang more distracted?

But then I thought about it again: Zhu Yuanzhang should not be suspicious of the country's life and death plan, besides, isn't this just to discuss how to negotiate?

Who knew that Li Shanchang's first sentence made him feel cold: "Berwyn, today is my concubine's birthday, let's get together, hehe, we usually don't spend time together, you have to come often, our relationship can't be lightened!"

"Senior brother, look at what you said! I thought this was to discuss how to deal with the crisis of our Ming Dynasty this time, so I was not prepared, senior brother, forgive me!" Liu Bowen unconsciously sighed in his heart: This Li Shanchang is too blatant, such a celebration, how can this national funeral be held?

Immediately, he hurriedly said bluntly, and said in Li Shanchang's ear: "Now that it is the period of national mourning, it is better for the prime minister to keep a low profile, in this way, Zhu Yuanzhang must have an opinion when he knows about the grand celebration of the concubine's birthday!

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! It's still the junior brother who is wise, okay, do what you want!" Li Shanchang hurriedly asked the family to remove those joyful things and change the appearance of the cyan funeral.

Subsequently, eating and drinking naturally continued as before, but it was also simpler, and I didn't dare to be extravagant and wasteful!

After a round of drinking, Liu Bowen smiled: "What do you think about this peace talks? Can we have a chance to take the initiative?"

"Ah!" Li Shanchang's mind was still on how to please the little concubine, and after thinking about it, he said: "I'm just afraid of the difficulty, I think, I still have to find a way for Berwyn!

Liu Bowen listened, sighed, and then smiled bitterly: "Alas, I'm just afraid that it's difficult! This time it's all caused by our mistakes, and the battle of the prairie should have been completely avoided, but the emperor was so happy that he thought that Dayuan was a soft persimmon, and he could do it casually! Who knew that people had given us a thousand miles of ambush, and now, we are under control everywhere, and the 400,000 army is surrounded, and the other party will definitely open his mouth! They definitely don't want the territory, otherwise, they won't withdraw, I'm afraid that they will knock us a fortune!"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he fell into deep thought, and he couldn't say half a sentence.

"Hehe, let's give him a push, two and three cry poor, isn't it wonderful?" Hu Weiyong thought he was smart again.

When Liu Bowen heard this, he didn't feel that his face was not good-looking, and after thinking about it, he smiled: "Then it's better for Mr. Weiyong to preside over the peace talks, hehe, we won't know these tricks of you, haha, Mr. is a high talent, he must be able to perform and strive to win the sympathy of several ancestors, haha!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he blushed and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Alas, Berwyn, I really have to use these three tricks as a last resort! Alas, it really can't be done, I will put down my old face, and hope that my two old ancestors can come to Yingtianfu together, I will cry poor, I hope they can sympathize with us, and ask less!" Li Shanchang agreed with Hu Weiyong's method and was willing to give it a try.

When Song Lian heard this, he smiled unconsciously: "Of course this is a method, but don't cry poor during the talks, the Prime Minister, let's cry poor in private! After all, it hurts the country! Mr. Berwyn, you don't want to be an exception! Hehe, I see that Princess Dayuan will also sympathize with us!"

Liu Bowen laughed unconsciously, and laughed: "I didn't expect Mr. Wei Yong to really be our Zhiduoxing this time, so let's do it! However, it's okay to cry poor, don't play tricks and shirk, it's too ungentlemanly! After all, it was we who went to the steppe to try to exterminate the Mongols, and we went to 500,000, which is too much! In fact, we don't know anything about the Mongols, and we are even less familiar with the steppe, so we will definitely lose the battle if we go, and now, as it is! Alas!" He turned the conversation back, obviously, he had long been dissatisfied with this national policy.

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he was naturally unhappy, but he didn't dare to say another word.

"Well, this is reasonable! Wei Yong, don't go if you cry poor, it seems that they don't want to see you, so let's go! The emperor will also go, and he will kneel down and beg the ancestors, who will save face than us! It's just that no one is allowed to say it, it will hurt the national body! Alas! What a careless move, and everyone will lose everything! What was a good situation was made into a sandwich meal by us, and we couldn't eat it anymore!" Li Shanchang sighed helplessly.

Hu Weiyong's face was naturally flushed, but he was also secretly happy in his heart: With such an attitude, I'm afraid that you, the prime minister, will come to an end! Hehe, if you have the opportunity, you must make a statement to Zhu Yuanzhang, so, isn't this phase mine?

Thinking of this, his face was full of joy, and when Li Shanchang saw it, he was puzzled: "Why are you so happy?"
