Chapter 34: The Discussion of War and Peace

No matter how much Zhang Xuan is worried about the things in front of him, what should come will always come. The first day of the first month of the first year of Zhaowu, that is, New Year's Day.

New Year's Day is not the first day of the first month of the solar calendar as later generations believed, but the New Year.

Since Mr. Sun took the Gregorian calendar as the official national calendar, it was just called the New Year, and then it evolved into New Year's Day, and the original New Year's Day became the Spring Festival.

But in this day and age, New Year's Day is still New Year's Day.

Zhang Xuan feasted his ministers in the Nanjing Imperial Palace. Except for the courtiers who stuck to their posts, such as the high school in Jiangbei, all the other generals and ministers came to the palace, this is the first New Year's Day since Zhang Xuan ascended the throne, and Zhang Xuan also attaches great importance to this.

Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and took out 300,000 taels from the treasury. Reward the ministers and the army outside the capital.

However, this amount of money seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is not even a tael of silver per person. There's no way around it.

Zhang Xuan was above the court meeting, but he just showed his head, said a word, drank three glasses of wine, and hurriedly withdrew from the table, letting the people below carnival. Even Luo Yujiao summoned the court's wife in the palace. The Great Dynasty will be lively, but Zhang Xuan's mind is not on it.

After the Great Dynasty Meeting, the generals from other places will go to various places. I want to see you again, and I don't know when. For example, Li Dingguo and others will not be able to stay in the DPRK for a long time.

A lot of things have to be arranged.

The biggest news at the court meeting was not these, but the appearance of the Qing court envoy.

Although Li Wen is a talented man in Jiangnan and has a good demeanor, the money rat tail made him look at him by countless people in the court meeting with eyes that they don't know how to describe. Immediately, it was rumored that the entire city of Nanjing, and the imperial court was going to negotiate peace with the Eastern Emperor, which also became the hot news at the moment.

After Luo Yujiao knew about this, she came to Zhang Xuan angrily and said sharply: "Zhang Pingzhi, if you dare to make peace with Dongyu, I want you to look good?" ”

Seeing that Luo Yujiao was so angry, Zhang Xuan hurriedly got up and grabbed Luo Yujiao's hand and said, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

The eunuch and palace maid below, seeing that the emperor and queen had something to say, had long eyes, lowered their eyebrows and quietly withdrew.

Luo Yujiao said: "There is a messenger from Dongyu, isn't it?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xuan said.

"My brother's revenge has not been avenged, if you dare to negotiate peace with Dongyu, I will -----" Luo Yujiao said vigorously, "I." "Can't say anything for a while? Luo Yujiao looks hot, but she is a pretty small woman in her bones.

Zhang Xuan said: "Okay, I promise you that I will not agree to the peace agreement of the Qing army." ”

Luo Yujiao never expected that his goal would be achieved so easily, and he was a little afraid for a while

letter, said, "Is it really possible?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "What is true or false, since you have spoken, I naturally have to agree." ”

Luo Yujiao was a little weak-hearted and said, "It won't be because I missed a major national event." ”

Zhang Xuan sighed and said: "According to my original intention, I am not willing to negotiate peace with Dongyu, even if I don't talk about the enmity of the first emperor, the two sides are not together, but what the people below say can't be wrong." ”

Luo Yujiao said: "What do the people below say? ”

Zhang Xuan said Zhang Qian's opinion and said: "Now that the treasury is empty and the people are displaced, it is indeed not the time to move troops in the past few years. For the time being, I will wait for the next day. However, don't worry, since you have said so, I will immediately order someone to beat the envoy to death with a stick. ”

"Never so." Luo Yujiao said: "The two countries are at war, and they can't make jokes. ”

"But ----," Zhang Xuan said with a difficult face.

"Zhang Lang only needs to remember the blood feud between the eldest brother and his nephew, as well as the enmity of Shen Wandeng, Luo Dai, Wang Long, and many other brothers in life and death, I can rest assured." Luo Yujiao said.

Zhang Xuan raised three fingers and said, "I, Zhang Xuan, swear to heaven that I will take revenge in this life and this life." Otherwise, you will fall into the Infernal Hell forever----"

"Needless to say." Luo Yujiao said: "I believe in you." ”

The two kept warm for a while, and Zhang Xuan sent Luo Yujiao away. Zhang Xuan sat in his place, sighed, looked at the music in front of him, and was upset for a while. Luo Yujiao's reaction was still relatively slow.

Guy Luo Yujiao doesn't like politics too much, although she grew up with Luo Rucai. But she likes a peaceful little day, if it weren't for Luo Yulong's hatred, what Zhang Xuan would do, she wouldn't say a word "no".

And she is also very affectionate to Zhang Xuan, and she is very easy to fool.

But the others are different.

The people below have everything they say. There were various opinions, and it was difficult for Zhang Xuan to make a decision for a while.

As far as Zhang Xuan himself is concerned, he is very reluctant to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, even if it is a temporary hypocrisy and a snake, he is reluctant, but the emperor can't do anything happy, and many things are not what he wants. It depends on the reality of the situation.

"Fortunately, before the fifth day of the new year, the people below can only play, and after the fifth day of the new year, they will see the real chapter above the court." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart.

According to the usual practice, it is generally necessary to seal the government until the fifteenth day of the first month. It's just that now that the war has just subsided, and Daxia is in ruins, Zhang Xuan is not so big-hearted on the fifteenth day of the first month. Although he gave the following people leave, he did not seal the office, at least Zhang Xuan was still working normally.

Zheng Lian's General Administration Department also accepted

Twists.

However, there are not many people who play, and it is also the arrival of the Qing envoy, who hit a thousand waves with one stone, so that many people who can't take a vacation are all written one by one.

Now he can prevaricate in the past, but after the opening of the government on the fifth day of the first month, Zhang Xuan can't avoid it. Therefore, he took a deep breath and opened the notes that were almost piled up on the table one by one, and looked at everyone's opinions, whether they were senior officials or small ministers. Whether it is for peace or against peace.

Hopefully find a suitable path from it.

Just when Zhang Xuan was meditating and weighing the pros and cons of making peace with the Qing army. Li Wen also left the post station and went to meet someone, this person was Hou Fangyu.

Hou Fangyu and Li Wen are both people in the same circle, and they have a lot of poems to sing and harmonize before, and they can be regarded as acquaintances. Now Hou Fangyu has no choice, so he wants to see Li Wen secretly, but Li Wen's every move in Nanjing City is stared at by countless pairs of eyes, where is there any secret to speak of.

The two sides had no choice but to meet in the open.

As soon as he saw Li Wen, Hou Fangyu said with a bit of gritted teeth: "Shu Zhang, only you can save me today, otherwise I will die on the streets of Nanjing in a few days." ”

Li Wen said: "Brother Hou, why is this? ”

Hou Fangyu saw how Gao Yuanjue took Li Xiangjun, and how he regarded Hou Fangyu as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and wanted to get rid of him several times. It's just that Nanjing is troubled now, so he didn't start, once the matter is over, it is the time when he returns to Huangquan.

In fact, Hou Fangyu thought well.

For Li Xiangjun, Gao Yuanjue couldn't hate it. The nature of the country is easy to change, Gao Yuanjue's romantic temperament seems to be passed on from Gao Jie, Gao Jie was chased and killed by Li Zicheng because of Mrs. Xing, and the two are still a loving couple, but now although he has become a laughing stock in the circle because of Li Xiangjun. felt angry, but as soon as he saw Li Xiangjun, he couldn't express it.

Li Xiangjun is really a beauty.

But Gao Yuanjue's anger was vented nowhere else, so he turned his anger on Hou Fangyu, making people stare Hou Fangyu to death. In Hou Fangyu's statement, there are a lot of brain supplements, but there is generally nothing wrong.

Li Wen didn't think so, he felt that Hou Fangyu was like a frightened bird, and people were worried, but he didn't mean to wake up, after all, if he came to Jiangnan this time, if he could bring some talents back, it would be a benefit, after all, the Qing court was not peaceful now. Among the Manchu nobles, the two yellow flags and the two white flags were incompatible, and among the Hanchens, the southerners and northerners could not pee together.

Li Wen is naturally regarded as a faction of southerners in the court, and he knows that the biggest problem of the southerners is the lack of successors, after all, all parts of the south are in the hands of the southern dynasty, and there are many people in the capital who are born in the south of the Yangtze River, but because the south is in the hands of Daxia, the days are long, and I am afraid that the so-called southern party will exist in name only.

Pulling one person can't solve the substantive problem, but it can also make up for it.
