Chapter 43 Pro-farming

The first contact between the two sides of Yanxia finally ended, and the two sides talked frankly for more than an hour, and finally reached a consensus, starting tomorrow, the two sides will officially start armistice negotiations and end the war by means of peace talks.

Wu Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, said goodbye and left the negotiation hall, Wu Shuli walked to the front of the hall, looked at Wang Mingyi walking away, and asked lightly: "Mr. Zhang, how should we talk tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Xiang beside him immediately bowed down and said: "Prime Minister Qi, if you want to catch a big fish, you have to give enough bait first, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one game in the negotiation tomorrow, and even give Xia Chao a little more sweetness, and try to give it to the other party if the land and city can let it." The more grain and cloth, the better. ”

"In this way, the lord and faction of the Xia Dynasty can gain power, and let the other court form a consensus, the war between Dayan and the Xia Dynasty is not the result of the fierce battle led by the main battle faction such as Gan Feng, but the credit of the main and faction through negotiations, as long as the main and faction have an advantage in the Xia Dynasty court, then the main battle faction will gradually be marginalized, that is to use the means again, Wang Mingzhi, Lu Daozhi and others can be squeezed out of the game The goal can be achieved."

Wu Shu secretly praised it, but there was no expression on his face, and he said lightly: "But the negotiation envoy is Wang Mingzhi, isn't he a representative of the main battle faction?" If I cede my interests to the DPRK, wouldn't it be to boost Wang Mingzhi's momentum in the Southern Dynasty! ”

"Prime Minister, so to divide and disintegrate, I think the deputy envoy Wu Lin is timid and cowardly, and he is the backbone of the Lord and faction, this person must be greedy for money and lustful, and the prime minister can do what he likes. At tomorrow's talks, Wang Mingzhi's demands should not be met, and Wu Lin only needs to open his mouth and try his best to meet them. However, in private, I have to explain the bottom line of my dynasty, so that the other party signs an agreement to return to Jiangnan, what does the prime minister think will be the result! ”

Wu Shuli couldn't hold back any longer, and happily gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's really a clever plan!" ”

On March 3, the capital city of Southern Xia was built and the ice and snow melted. In the streets and alleys, the breath of spring has been filled, the weeping willows on the side of the road grow tender green shoots, each household hangs willow branches, even the city gate is also full of willow branches and other things, the crowd comes and goes, full of the festive atmosphere of spring.

Last night was a starry night, but since dawn, the sky has been covered with dark clouds.

Although the spring rain is as expensive as oil, it is ------

The Son of Heaven chose the day of 'pro-farming' in Beijing, but waited for such a weather, which is really embarrassing------

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven has been 'pro-farming', an activity that must be participated in from the top to the Son of Heaven and down to the common people of Li.

In the Zhou Dynasty, on the day of the beginning of spring, the Son of Heaven personally led the princes and doctors to the east to welcome the spring, after the spring, the king would also lead the hundred officials out of the palace, and personally went to his 'one acre and three points of land' to cultivate the land and loosen the soil, in order to show the importance of agriculture and persuasion, looking forward to a good year.

Due to the particularly cold weather this year, the political affairs hall postponed the time of 'pro-farming' again and again, and it was not until a few days ago that the day of the official family's 'pro-farming' was positioned as March 3.

Emperor Suzong lay in the dragon, under the protection of more than 100 clan princes, imperial relatives, Wuxun relatives and important ministers of the dynasty, first worshiped the Taimiao, and then went to the river to worship the dragon king, and then led 3,000 royal forest troops, and 1,000 palace maids, imperial doctors, Huangmen attendants and imperial dining rooms, imperial medical rooms, etc., a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses followed out of the palace.

Yin Zhang Tianyi of Jingzhao Mansion was a high-ranking official with a purple robe and a silver seal, and they had to escort the emperor out of the city for thirty miles before returning to Beijing with the superfluous attendants.

The ceremonial and musical procession arranged by Taichang Temple is mighty, and the music of the emperor runs through the entire Jiankang City.

The holy car came out of the Suzaku Gate, and where it passed, the people on both sides of the royal road tracked one after another, and the sound of the mountain and tsunami came and went.

The Imperial Forest Army was in charge of the guards, and Gan Tang, the king of Xiangyang in the current dynasty, rode a royal horse and wore a four-clawed dragon robe, leading more than a dozen guards to walk next to the jade chariot.

From the third quarter of the hour, until it was already the whole time, the holy car went out of the Mingde Gate.

Emperor Suzong looked at Gan Tang from the window, at the age of twelve, his figure was almost similar to that of ordinary people, and he actually had the demeanor of an immortal.

When they arrived at Jiankang Xixiao, the royal manor, Emperor Suzong stopped to rest, and Gan Tang and the ministers of the political hall were temporarily there.

The relatives of the emperor and the ministers drove around, and Emperor Suzong drank hot tea and asked: "Today, I see that there are many people who want to sue the emperor, and the criminal department and other three law divisions should be asked by them!" ”

Song Ci, who had an old face, frowned and said: "Please rest assured that today is the day of His Majesty's personal ploughing, and the minister has ordered the officials of the Jiankang Mansion to bring the complainant back to the government, and tomorrow the minister will urge the relevant officials to inquire into this matter." ”

"With the old lady in the court, I feel a lot more at ease."

Gan Tang paid special attention to the expressions of the clan people around the holy car, and the kings of the clan shot a series of sycophants,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There is only one prince dressed in a unicorn, looking at the costume, it should be a certain county king, facing Wen Jing with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, only nodding slightly but not speaking.

His indifferent bearing is quite similar to someone------

But the more this is the case, the more jealous Gan Tang is in his heart. What kind of person would pretend like this, but ----- this county king, I'm afraid it won't last long.

"This is the King of Huaiyang, the uncle and brother of the King of Chong'an you know. I have a deep understanding of Taoist classics, and I can communicate more with your master Sanfeng Zhenren in the future. ”

Chai Youxiang bowed slightly and saluted: "I've seen the King of Xiangyang." ”

Gan Tang returned a salute, Huaiyang Wang Chai and Xiang's voice was very mellow, and he said: "Your Majesty's dragon eyes are like torches, and you know people wisely, and you will not let King Wen of Zhou Jian pull out Jiang Shang's good name." ”

The corners of Emperor Suzong's mouth curled slightly, as if he was in a good mood, and said to Gan Tang: "I have nothing to do here, you don't have to go with the car, go and accompany the prince, and the prince can talk to you." ”

In the west of Jiankang City, Huangzhuang Shengjia is driving in. Countless torches and lanterns illuminate the entire Huangzhuang as if it were day.

Three thousand layers of guards from the Royal Forest Army were walking around, with bows and crossbows and horses.

The cold light on the stomach is dazzling.

In the main hall of Huangzhuang, Emperor Suzong and Concubine Jia were having dinner, when they saw Chai Wei, who had a delicate face, coming in from outside.

Jia Guifei hurriedly arranged for Zhaorong to prepare tableware and deliver imperial rice porridge.

Emperor Su Zong glanced at the energetic Chai Wei's face, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and said, "The queen often talks to me, you will be blessed in the future." Now, it seems, that is indeed the case. Everyone else is very tired at the end of the day, only Wei'er is pale! ”

Chai Wei took a sip of ham and bamboo shoot soup with a spoon. , Hearing the words of Emperor Suzong, he didn't rush to answer, but after chewing and swallowing, he smiled like a flower and said: "Official father, it's rare to take Wei'er out to play, it's empty outside, the stars are brighter than in the palace, and you can still hear the mountain wind and birds at night, how can you not be in a good mood." ”

"I just listened to Xiao Gantang's story at the prince's brother, which little girl who sells matches is so pitiful!"

"Brother Prince is so funny, that's just a story, now Brother Prince is looking for a little girl who sells matches in Little Gantang, and wants to make her the crown princess!"

After speaking, Chai Wei twittered the story again.

Emperor Suzong sighed and said: "Although I have made Jiangnan rich, there are still people who are hungry, hey! I don't know what future generations will say about my merits and demerits after I am gone! ”

Thinking of this, Emperor Suzong withdrew his eyes, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

Jia Guifei saw Su Zong like this, and said, "Official, I've been tired for a day today, so let's rest early------

Emperor Suzong walked to the imperial couch in the back hall with the support of Wang Chun. However, after taking a few steps, Huo Ran heard the sound of earth-shattering killing from all directions:

"Qingjun side!" "Zheng Chaogang!"

+ When Emperor Suzong heard the movement, he was stunned for a while, not angry but laughing, looking back at Jia Guifei and Princess Chai Wei, who were pale, and said to Chai Wei: "Wei'er is here, with Guifei, Daddy will deal with it, and see which thing that is not long-eyed, at this time, it will cause trouble." ”

Wang Chun's face was a little solemn, he looked around, and reminded him: "The official family, there are a lot of people, the official family should quickly convene the important ministers to discuss!" ”

Emperor Suzong came to the meeting hall under Wang Chun's support, and Gao Feng, the tall head of the inner house, appeared, and bowed down and said: "Official, the two thousand dragon guards trained by the ministers over the years have received orders, all of them have been adjusted by the ministers, they are all good archers, and now they have a place to use, I think it will give a big surprise to the traitors!" ”

When Emperor Suzong heard this, he was extremely satisfied, and said: "They are all warriors of the three armies. If you don't stop and learn from the strengths of others, how can you be invincible. ”

After waiting for his heart to be steady, Emperor Suzong sneered and said: "Then let's go, go with me to see how many uncontrollable traitors and rebels have jumped out this time!" ”

Come to the council hall. Listening to the shouts of killing coming from all directions, Emperor Suzong's face sank like water.

"Qing Jun side, right and good" This is the name of the rebel army.

His gaze swept over the faces of the ministers in the account, looking at the few imperial relatives and relatives, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

Look at the positions of the eight nobles, two are missing, Guo Shirong, the Duke of Shunguo, and Zhao Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of Ningguo. Guo Shirong, the Duke of Shunguo, rebelled. Emperor Suzong understood.

Because the Duchess of Shunguo is the sister of King Chong'an, and because of the in-law relationship between the Guo family and Chong'an Wang Chai and Rui since the Nandu, they have been suppressed

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Time to prepare for the rectification of the Beijing Gate Forbidden Army, Shunguo Gong bore the brunt, the forbidden army eight battalions, Yangwei, Liwei two battalions under its command, Gu Long Guards reconnaissance report, its empty salary reached seventy. I was afraid that I would free my hands to clean him up, so I took a risk.

Zhao Chong, the Duke of Kening Guo, took him to a good time, transferred from martial arts to literature, entered the political hall to participate in political affairs, and sat in a high position in the military department, and Jia Ru was in step with the court, but he actually reversed.

Emperor Su Zong sneered, glanced at Jia Ru, who had an extremely ugly face, and did not attack on the spot.

Looking at the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Xie, Lu, and Shi families are all there, but the Zheng family, a wealthy family in Fujian, is missing.

The only thing that made Emperor Suzong happy was that the Wenchen were basically there, except for those who were involved with the above people, the others were basically there.

Especially Song Ci, he knows that although the Song family cannot be compared with the four major families, its influence in Jiangnan is not weaker than that of the four major families, Song Ci has been an official in the imperial court for sixty years, and he is honest and honest.

Thinking of this, Emperor Suzong broke out in a cold sweat.

Emperor Suzong was in the spirit of not startling the snake for the time being, after all, there must always be a righteous name. When this matter is over, it is better to let him return to his hometown.

Song Ci felt Emperor Suzong's gaze fall on him, bowed down, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that the rebels are too strong, and it is too sudden, Your Majesty should return to Beijing as soon as possible to recruit the army of the king and quell the rebellion." ”

Emperor Suzong glanced at him, did not answer, and looked at Cao Lei, the head of Wuxun.

Cao Lei's face was pale, but he still said word by word: "The official family can rest assured, the holy driving is in the place, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Although the rebels are quite strong, as long as they hold on to this place, they will be able to wait for the arrival of King Qin's army. The minister swears to death and will not let the rebels cross the thunder pool for half a step! ”

Emperor Su Zong looked at Cao Lei and said indifferently: "Can the founding prince still get on the horse and pull the bow, and can he still block the rebels?" ”

Cao Lei's old face was red, but he said categorically: "Although the minister's martial arts are deserted, the minister is the head of the martial arts, although the family wealth is earned by the ancestors, but the minister still has a fierce loyalty to Daxia, if the minister can't repel the rebels today, he will die here and never disgrace his ancestors." ”

Emperor Suzong nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Yang Jieliang again, and asked, "There are millions of people in the forbidden army in the capital, how many soldiers and horses can Guangping Hou mobilize to escort them?" ”

Yang Jieliang's face was pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Although the minister is called the capital forbidden army, but all along, the eight forbidden armies in the capital have been led by the four of Shunguogong, Chengde Gong, Jinchenghou and me, according to the rules of the ancestors, I have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the other three armies." ”

Emperor Su Zong asked: "I am afraid that the two battalions of Yangwei and Liwei will rebel with Guo Shirong, what about the two battalions of Fenwu and Yaowu under your own command?" ”

Yang Jieliang's beads of sweat continued to leave on his face, and he said: "A few years ago, Yu Wang Gan entered Sichuan with his troops in command and transferred 12,000 soldiers and horses from my Fenwu and Yaowu battalions, and now--- the actual number of people in the battalion can still make up more than 10,000 people------

Emperor Suzong's face was pale, and he turned his head to look at the fat Jincheng Houhuyan Leopard who looked like a mountain of meat.

Huyan Leopard hurriedly knelt down and said: "My town is far away and Pingyuan can make up enough for 20,000, and ------ for 20,000."

Emperor Suzong turned his head viciously to look at Chengde Hou Dixin, who could lead the troops among the military ministers present.

Di Xin knelt down and said: "There are 100,000 soldiers in the minister's brave and brave battalion, and they can be escorted now." And thirty thousand live in the city, and they will return to camp within an hour. ”

Emperor Suzong looked at Yu Jie, the head of the military ministers, and said: "Okay, Yu Xiangguo presides over all the affairs of King Qin this time, and Di Xin, the Duke of Chengde, and Cao Lei, the founding Duke of the country, are assisted. How to deal with it now? ”

Yu Jie played: "The rebels are mostly infantry, like the naval army of the Yangtze River Naval Division, although it is a field army, but the naval army is a naval army, and when it comes to the shore, its combat power will definitely decline. The minister wanted to mobilize 60,000 soldiers and horses to come to the palace and serve the king. Coupled with the elite of the 3,000 Royal Forest Army, walking on this hill, there are more troops and they can't spread out. However, there were no two battalions of Yangwei and Liwei in the rebels attacking the line, and the minister estimated that the two battalions of Yangwei and Liwei might be attacking the capital, and 40,000 Guoyong soldiers entered the city to guard Jiankang on the spot, and the 30,000 people in the city did not have to return to the camp, and they could capture the military headquarters on the spot, so that they could quickly arm themselves and guard the capital together with the Guoyong battalion. It's just that this general who defends the city, the minister wants to be more suitable for the Duke of Chengde, and the minister also recommended the prince of Chengde to return to Beijing with the prince of Chengde, and Di Juma entered the palace as soon as possible to appease the queen, and assisted Dongchang Hou Han to defend the imperial city. ”
