The messenger of Hezeming asked for an audience and stood in front of Jianbu.

This is a sturdy man in his thirties, slightly sycophant and uneasy, he has his own routine with the will of He Zeming, to first tell General Bu of Sù Jian, their Khan King Tuoba Weiwei has gone, leaving an unexpected last word, asking Chen to surrender to Eastern Xia, and then highlighting that He Zeming himself sent him to inform General Jian Bu of goodwill, saying that their faction does not support Chen's surrender to Eastern Xia.

At this time, it should be Jianbu who represents the imperial court and takes out enough benefits to make a statement of support for their faction.

Even if it is a hostile country, the messenger reports the death of his king, which is equivalent to reporting the funeral, and the process of reporting the funeral, in addition to the death news, must also summarize the person's life for evaluation, and trace the temple number.

Of course, the state of Chen was founded by nomads and was not bound by etiquette, but the envoy still needed to describe the whole thing, and express an attitude towards the death of the king and even the king's claims during his lifetime. And this kind of attitude, it is very difficult for the envoy to be in front of the surrendered Jingkang people, and he is only a messenger sent by He Zeming, not the death of Chen Guojun, and after the Minister of Chen Guo consulted, he represented the voice of Chen Guo.

Of course, He Zeming can also choose to insult and refute Tuoba Weiwei, but in this way, he will be isolated by the Chen people, including his own tribesmen.

And once he does this, the Jingkang court will also look down on his weight, and he will isolate himself from the Chen State.

He Zeming refused to do such a stupid thing, and sent people in a hurry, and the envoy naturally wanted to bypass this topic, because it was too difficult for him to deal with.

Gimbu is very concerned about this.

This is not all a requirement of the envoy's etiquette towards his own king.

How did Tuoba Weiwei die, which means that it is a normal death or an unnatural death, and is there a minister who kills the king? There was no rebellion inside.

What temple name Tuoba Weiwei was posthumously recognized, it means that the ministers and the people recognized him.

Tuoba Weiwei's attitude towards the imperial court before his death should be summarized, whether the new person in power was elected, whether to insist, or to change course?

And now under the shape of shì, will Chen Guo still resist stubbornly?

So, what did Gimpo want to know, and what did the messenger want to go around?

Although the envoy told Sù that Tuoba Weiwei had a last word to make Chen surrender to Eastern Xia, explaining something, this was not the official tone. Jianbu doesn't know Chen Guo, can't say that there is a person who doesn't know how old, who? What status? How to confirm it? Just open your mouth and promise everything. Therefore, he was quite cold, asked a few questions, and saw that the envoy was hesitant, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the envoy and said, "Your Khan is also the king of a country, and you should be respected as you deserve, and you will not take the opportunity to attack your mourning army, but will send a messenger to offer condolences." ”

Although he seemed cold to the messenger, the meaning of the messenger was already clear to Jianbu.

Tuoba Weiwei died, and there may really be a will when he died, as the messenger said, Tuoba Weiwei asked Chen Guo to surrender to Dongxia, and some people in Chen Guo thought carefully and turned around to surrender to the imperial court, if this is the case, what if it is fake? Tuoba Weiwei died, and after his death, the will was to separate Jingkang and Dongxia to seek a way out for their heirs?

Jingkang and Dongxia fought over whom they surrendered, and would the losers open a big road and let them go?

However, Gampo believes that the trust between him and Dia Bird is solid.

He also believes that on this point, both sides will agree.

Whoever you like to surrender to Whom do you like to surrender to, Dia Niao still has to hand over Chenzhou to the imperial court, and surrendering to whom is just a huge honor.

Jian Bu thought about it for a while, and decided to send someone to ask Dia Bird if Chen Guoren had any contrary statements, and ran away from him.

This is how gentlemen fellowship.

But the people below are all kinds of construction, and they are noisy.

Gimbu was always tired of it.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, he got up and left after arguing with them.

The cool breeze was gusting outside, and his heart was also cool.

Gimpo didn't say anything else was wary of Dia Bird.

But he really didn't look down on these intrigues, including the emperor's intrigues.

If Dia Bird really wants to seize Chenzhou, will he encircle and annihilate Tuoba Towering Army? Wait until the two countries are exhausted before attacking. It's okay, people can change their hexagram halfway, but people have entered Chenzhou with an army of about 30,000, and they are already showing their attitude to the people of the world. The merit of recovering the land for the Yong people is also showing an attitude to the people of the world.

Many things, the general's decision is limited.

He wrinkled his eyes and looked up to find the bright moon, and when he looked at the bright moon, he could see that his body was standing like a statue. The old brother Lobin followed him and whispered, "Junshuai." I know that you like the king of Dongxia, and I am afraid that you really regard him as a nephew, but you have to pay attention. Don't ......"

Gimpo turned his face and asked, "What must not be?" ”

Luo Bin was about to speak again, but Gimbu raised his hand to stop him and said, "I know in my heart what His Majesty means. He wanted to take the opportunity to cut off a threat, and he was deliberately luring Diao. Doesn't Dia Bird know? Dia Bird is not a brutal faint king, he is supported by the Dongxia people, and the people and soldiers at the bottom of the Central Plains have a good impression of him, although some people spare no effort to scandalize him, what is the use? Except for being a little ridiculous when he was a teenager, he behaved more decently than the average person. ”

He said lightly: "When Ah Niao first went to Diaoyin, Wang Zhi kept writing with me, I originally asked Wang Zhi to give him some opportunities, I felt that from his record, he could fight, and he could use him well to help Wang Zhi protect Diaoyin." The result? Wang Zhi sent me a letter, and the content of it really frightened me, and he actually used all the words of praise, saying, 'Have courage, serve the corporal with self-denial, promise a thousand gold, fight righteousness and squandering money, be good at strategy, use soldiers like gods, and will be a teacher', I thought at the time, this Wang Zhi is a muddy man, he was eighteen or nineteen years old. What are some of the words you can use to describe a young man and worship him as a teacher? Okay. Blame me, saying that he can protect the carving yin with good use, Wang Zhiding listens to me too much and tries his best to beautify it. As a result, not long after, Jian Fu went, and also corresponded to me, not in the last letter he wrote to me, saying that he not only knew the books, but also could settle accounts, and could pull moths for the country. I scoffed. I said that this guy's father died early and was displaced, so it's good that he can read and write? Can he use his calculations to find out the way of other people's officialdom? It's just pretending. But the facts have proved that he can, Tianxingjian, a gentleman should be self-reliant, although his father is gone, no one is in charge, and he is displaced, several people can maintain restraint and can be studious and motivated, and there is almost no one among his peers. ”

He sighed and said, "I also guessed what the emperor meant at that time. The emperor just wanted to suppress him and kill his wildness, and I also saw it this way and agreed with the emperor to do so. As a result, it can't be suppressed. He has won a huge reputation in Diaoyin, and everyone in the world knows that he is building pastures, building canals, looking for crops, and opening schools. And the sprouts came out. I know why the emperor didn't use him in the end, but sent him to vassal him, but he found that this person couldn't hold it down, and there was a stone on his head, and the buds came from the side, and finally the stone was overturned. The emperor didn't dare to keep him by his side, and he sent it away. But if you look at it in another way, why should the imperial court be afraid of those wizards? ”

He said to Lobin, "I don't understand. I don't dare to say Majesty, but I can't be angry, so I will say that there are traitors. You say, how can there be a talent pushed out? ”

And he said, "It's all over." It's useless to mention it again. It is only said that for the king of a country, he is even more impeccable, after the founding of the country, he has not moved a major battle for five years, does not repair the palace, implements new policies, improves the law, strengthens the army and enriches the country, loves the people and corporals, and the people of Dongxia are worshiped as gods. This kind of support can't compare to him today. Of course, the Son of Heaven is also a saint, but the country has a deep problem, so it is naturally more difficult than him. You know what. Now his will is the will of a country in Dongxia, and he fights with a country that has the same hatred and hatred, no matter how small the country is, how can it be despised if it is united? It's not the time for the imperial court to weaken or annex Eastern Xia. The people and soldiers have eyes, so whoever makes trouble for no reason must not support it. Whoever does not support it will be defeated. This is the truth that I have understood for many years, and if war is fought against an army, how can it not be the hearts of the people? The people and soldiers are unwilling to fight, they feel that you are wrong, and they are escorted to the battlefield by you, how can they defeat the enemy? ”

Luo Bin smiled bitterly and said: "These are big truths, but the monarch has to think about yourself, after this battle is over, the king of Dongxia must think that he does not owe the court, plus he can fight, who knows what will happen in the future?" Jun Shuai is close to him, this will cause a big deal? ”

Kenbu laughed, "What's wrong?" Decollation? Besides, I treat him as a nephew, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, will I lean towards him? I'm just getting old and hopefully a generation of big names will take my place...... Fight for our Yongren. I even hope that he will suddenly destroy the country and be cornered to come to Changyue, if that is the case, I will wake up laughing at night, can I not think so when he is a nephew? ”

Lobin said, "But others don't know." ”

Gampo said coldly, "They don't know. I'll let them know. Do they think that if they offend Dia Bird,-for-tat is a good thing? Now it's a good thing to see him threatening, offended, or even dead? Without him, Dongxia will not be incorporated into the imperial court because of the support he has received, and perhaps the country will continue, and one of his ministers in power will use him as an excuse for revenge to disturb the border every year, and invade every year. Even if they are divided and their strength is not strong, can they still be the same as now, what should they do if they lack food and clothing, fight us, run if they can't win, and run away as soon as they run, they will be deep in the desert...... Will it be a good thing? The ministers have too much sense of self and enemy, and the ideas they come up with are not right. ”

Lobin began to sigh, he couldn't persuade him.

A few traces of mockery erupted from Jianbu's nostrils, and he said lightly: "Ah Bird, he is Yongren." Yongren and Yongren are naturally close to each other, close in blood, similar in governing philosophy, disgusted with war, even if there is friction and occasional war, he is better than outsiders. His idea of governing the country is inseparable from strengthening the country and enriching the people, not the nomads' conquest for farming. Some people are willing to shake him, just because they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, that is, to please the king. ”

Luo Bin was afraid that he would continue to preach, so he hurriedly reminded: "Junshuai, it's late at night." ”

Kenbu let out an "oh", waved his big hand, and said sonorously, "Then go back and rest." Tomorrow to see if Chen Guo really surrendered, if he surrendered, he would be clamoring to vote for us, and we would also invite Dia Bird to surrender, he was a hero, he won the war, he was still young, he needed great merit. ”

Robin sighed again.

It's been a lifetime, who is this, can he not know?

It's just that you can give credit to the generals of the imperial court, but can you give credit to the monarchs of other countries? You say that you are old, you don't need merit, you don't want it, what about the imperial court?

What does the imperial court think?

Does the imperial court want public opinion?

Does the imperial court want a merit to show the world?

He couldn't understand it, and shook his head and smiled bitterly all the way.

The guards at the tent saluted them, and Jian Bu had already opened the curtain and was about to enter, when someone rushed behind him and shouted, "Jun Shuai." Chen Guo has come to the envoy again, and he wants to see you privately. ”

This time it was someone secretly sent by Li Jingsi, and it was one of Li Jingsi's subordinates back then.

Jianbu and Li Jingsi have dealt with each other.

Back then, when he was fighting the Tuoba clan, Li Jingsi appeared, and when he saw Li Jingsi's subordinates, his subordinates said, and Jianbu remembered it.

And he sat down in the tent, and the messenger who came back spoke anything.

He said, "General." We are all homeless. The heart is still in the court. Our general is even more so, it's just that fate played with it, he married the daughter of the king of the Khan. The king of Khan treated him as if he were his own son. It wasn't until the end of the Chen Kingdom that he came out against his will...... The general must be aware of it. ”

Gimpo nodded.

The man said, "Our general actually hated the general a little, and the general refused to be gentle back then, and at that time, he sympathized with the people of the Tuoba clan. ”

Kenbu smiled.

The man was afraid that Gimbu would question or get angry, so he quickly added, "However, this is all in the past. For many years, the general always wanted to return to the country, his heart was in the imperial court, and he didn't know how much valuable news he sent to the imperial court, and even the king of Khan knew it and deliberately did not expose him. ”

Kenbu sneered and said, "How is this possible? Tuoba is majestic and strategic, can he tolerate him doing this? ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "It is true that he is eloquent, but he cares more about those who are loyal, and he respects our generals for this." It's just that everything is as little as possible to let the general know. The Khan is waiting. Wait for those whose hearts are in the court to change their minds. Although the general may be unhappy, the Khan King is really a great man, with the amount of tolerance, magnanimity, and the admiration of loyal and righteous people. Therefore, when the state of Chen was about to perish, our general had to repay it. ”

With the exception of Diao, this is one of the few times that he has heard positive words praising Tuoba.

Because of this, he felt that this time, the messenger was completely confessing to him.

Then he said, "But the king of Khan is dead." The general didn't want to cheapen Dongxia and wanted to surrender to the imperial court, without any conditions, just asking the imperial court to kill less and not kill people, especially the princes born to the Khan himself. ”

Jianbu nodded slightly in approval. The man said: "The general has already charged the form shì, please report to the court as much as possible, give them officials to appease, and do your best to receive it." He took out a few pieces of paper, put them in front of Jian Bu, and said softly: "These are some important people in the army, please look at the general and appease them as appropriate." The general said that pacification is in the hope that the imperial court will have measures to win people's hearts, not his conditions. ”

Jianbu said: "I want to know, Tuoba Weiwei does not hate the king of Dongxia, why did he have a last word to let you surrender to the king of Dongxia?" ”

The man sighed and said, "I don't know the specifics. At that time, the Khan was surrounded by some important people, and I heard that the Khan said that the king of Eastern Xia was benevolent and would treat the people of Chen well, and if he surrendered to the imperial court, the imperial court might give the big man an official position, but it would not necessarily give respect, and it would not necessarily treat the people well. ”

Kenbu's heart tightened.

The man saw that Jianbu's face was wrong, and for fear of anger, he said, "I have heard of this." I don't think so. It is strange that the king of Khan does not hate the king of Eastern Xia. It was he who pressed the Eastern Xia to the middle line and annihilated the forces that had been fighting against the imperial court. After this defeat, Chen Guo was no longer good. ”

Gimpo waved his hand and said, "I know." This is the heroes sympathizing with each other. The king of Eastern Xia also asked me to give Tuoba Weiwei respect. ”

He laughed and said, "They are all people who see very accurately." ”

He thought for a while and said: "Although Tuoba Weiwei has fought with the imperial court for more than ten years, he himself is indeed a hero, does he need the help of the imperial court to mourn?" If necessary, I will give him my full support and give him enough courtesy and respect. In addition, I also played the court and asked the court to pursue him. ”

The man turned over and knelt down, and said in a loud voice, "The general is wise." Although the Khan King has perverse behavior, he has not lost a beloved king, and although I am a Yongren, I also miss him. ”

Jianbu got up and held him up, and said, "Now that the imperial court attaches more importance to the relationship with the Eastern Xia Kingdom, in terms of surrender and acceptance, I want people to invite Dia Bird to surrender to him." ”

The man was suddenly excited: "General." Why? Why should we surrender to him? Don't say that the general won't, and I won't either. What virtue is he? ”

Kenbu sighed and asked him, "Are all the people in the camp thinking of you?" ”

The man said, "Most of the ministers are." It's just that the king of Khan has a will. Soldiers, there may be more willing to surrender to the king of Dongxia, we have occupied the camp of the Tangut people, there is plenty of food in it, and the armament is excellent. They all said that the king of Eastern Xia was good to the soldiers and good to the people...... Moreover, Dongxia also let a lot of Chen soldiers go home, and they were all saying that he was good. ”

Jianbu said lightly: "Isn't this it?" ”

The man said, "But I don't feel well." Surrender to an outsider? ”

Gimpo whispered, "Your thoughts. I know. However, the Eastern Xia Kingdom sacrificed a lot for this western expedition, and as an ally, it needs to be humble and concede its military exploits. ”

The man bowed his head and said nothing.

Gimbu also said: "He has made it clear that he will return all the places, people, and troops of Chenzhou to the imperial court, except for the rebel army and people he controlled." ”

The man was shocked, "What? He doesn't want anything in Dongxia? ”

Gampo said, "Yes." People want to restore the land, what else is there to fight for? ”

The man nodded and said, "In that case, I will go back and tell the general to know, presumably he is also willing to obey the general's arrangement." ”
