Chapter 710: Candidates
In fact, there is a very real problem in front of the Great Zhou Emperor, if you don't accept the submission of the desolate clan, will the Great Zhou dare to go all out to crusade against the temple?
There is no doubt that the most powerful combat force of the Great Zhou is the Shuozhou border army, if the barren tribe does not return to the Great Zhou, then the Great Zhou Emperor will never dare to transfer the Shuozhou border army to the south, and the same is true for the grassland.
This is also one of the important reasons why Yunye dared to come east to the capital, and the Great Zhou Emperor would not fail to understand this truth.
"The minister knocks to see the emperor!"
"Flatten! Xiao Fan, you have been accompanying the tribal leaders of the grassland recently, and you have worked hard! Downing laughed.
In the past, Tang Ning always called him Xiao Fan, and he was still a little slanderous, but now he doesn't slander at all, but feels that this title is kind to the thief, which makes him flattered.
Fan Wencheng got up respectfully and said: "It's not hard, it's not hard, the minister will accompany them every day to go shopping and eat, it's not hard at all, the minister has gained a few pounds." ”
Tang Ning smiled: "Oh? So? Shall I give you a chance to clear it? ”
Chances of retrenchment? Fan Wencheng trembled when he heard this, this doesn't seem to be a good thing!
Fan Wencheng was a little apprehensive and said, "Your Majesty, please command." ”
Tang Ning got up and said with a smile: "You also know that the barbarian envoy entered the capital, and yesterday I summoned the barbarian envoy, in addition to congratulating me on my accession to the throne, the barbarian also has a very interesting proposal." ”
Fan Wencheng listened respectfully, but he was very surprised in his heart, not knowing what the barbarian would propose and what it had to do with him.
"The barbarians want to submit to our Great Zhou, crusade against Southern Chu together, and dominate the world, and when they dominate the world, the barbarians want to ask me to give them a piece of land, so that they can migrate out of the Great Wilderness and become the people of my Great Zhou from now on."
Fan Wencheng's mouth grew in surprise when he heard this, this proposal was too shocking! The emperor not only has the elite division of the Great Zhou, but also the iron cavalry of the grassland, if there is no foreign enemy to worry about, then it seems that it is not difficult to dominate the world.
After Fan Wencheng was excited, he asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, whether this barbarian is really obedient or not, I don't know!" And the barbarians are too powerful, if you let the barbarians multiply......"
Tang Ning nodded and said: "These I have all thought that the reason why barbarians are strong is because they live in the Great Wilderness, and the Great Wilderness has a magical magic that can make people strong, not only people, but also beasts, as long as they live in the Great Wilderness, they will become strong." Without the Great Wilderness, their children and grandchildren will not be strong. ”
"It is very difficult for the barbarians to survive in the Great Wilderness, and I feel that seven or eight points of their submission is true, so I plan to send people to the barbarian envoys to the Great Wilderness."
"Go to the Great Wilderness to investigate, find out how many of them there are, find out how many soldiers they have, and check their people's feelings. I have already appointed General Chang, but only military generals are not enough, and I am ready to send a few civilian officials to accompany me. ”
Fan Wencheng finally understood why the emperor told him this, he wanted to send him to the Great Wilderness. The emperor's idea is right, the military generals are reliable to check the strength of the barbarians, but it is a bit difficult for them to let them check the people's feelings.
Therefore, it is better to have a civil official with him, but it is impossible to make a carriage on this way to the Great Wilderness, and he can only ride a horse, so it is not unusual for the emperor to think of him.
Fan Wencheng was a little excited, because he was at the age of youth and enthusiasm, he was born in Jiangmen, he had the dream of serving on the battlefield since he was a child, but unfortunately he failed to do so, and now he has the opportunity to go to the barbarians to explore, how can he not be excited?
Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "Weichen is not talented, I am willing to go to the Great Wilderness with General Chang, please ask the emperor for permission!" ”
Tang Ning was very relieved and said with a smile: "Although I think that the barbarians may be sincere and obedient, there are still a lot of risks in this trip, do you understand?" ”
Fan Wencheng said excitedly: "Wechen understands that a little risk is nothing, Wechen must live up to the emperor's trust and investigate the barbarians!" ”
Tang Ning nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I didn't mistake you, it's really Jiangmen Huzi!" However, only if you go with General Chang, it is still a little thin, the military generals are easy to find, but the suitable civil servants are not easy to find, do you have any suggestions? ”
Not to mention, Fan Wencheng really has a suitable candidate. As the saying goes, people gather by like, and things are divided by groups, and Fan Wencheng's friends also have civil officials who are as good at riding and shooting as him.
These are all his bad friends, how can this kind of thing forget them?
Fan Wencheng replied: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to recommend two people to the emperor, Huang Wei in the military department, and Wei Changfeng, the head of the ministry, although they are civil officials, they are also proficient in riding and archery. ”
Tang Ning nodded when he heard this: "It's a long way to go to the Great Wilderness, and you must be proficient in riding and archery, so Huang Wei and Wei Changfeng are just right." ”
After Fan Wencheng withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, he was not frightened by the barbarians in the Great Wilderness, but was full of ambition, because he was born in Jiangmen and was determined to go to the border town to fight the barbarians since he was a child.
I just don't know what the expressions of Huang Wei and Wei Changfeng will be when they know it, thinking about it, Fan Wencheng is really looking forward to it.
In the restaurant, the wine and food have been prepared, and Huang Wei and Wei Changfeng came together.
Fan Wencheng shouted: "It's late, it's late, three glasses of wine!" ”
Huang Wei looked at the table of wine and food, and exclaimed, "Hey, so rich, Xiao Fan, what bad water is in your stomach?" ”
Wei Changfeng sat down and said: "Don't be in a hurry to punish the wine first, talk about what is going on first, otherwise you won't have a bottom in your heart!" ”
Although the three of them often get together, they are generally not so grand, and this table of wine and food costs three hundred taels of silver.
Fan Wencheng laughed and said, "Haven't you two been clamoring to put pen to paper?" Now the opportunity is here! I have already recommended you to the Emperor! ”
Wei Changfeng and Huang Wei couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, the two of them sometimes shouted like this after a drink or two, but that was also a scholarly atmosphere.
Although the two of them are also proficient in mounted archery, they are not very good at martial arts, and they can't do it on the battlefield just by riding and shooting.
Wei Changfeng was a little unconfident and said: "Fan Wencheng, you are a pit goods, just our two hands will be shrouded in horse leather from Rong!" ”
Fan Wencheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll accompany you!" ”
Huang Wei asked, "What's going on?" ”
Fan Wencheng drank a glass of wine, and then whispered: "Now the barbarian envoys have entered Beijing?" Do you think they're just here to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne? ”
Wei Changfeng whispered: "Of course it's impossible, I just think there's something weird here, what's going on?" ”
Fan Wencheng whispered: "The barbarian envoy intends to submit to my court!" ”
Huang Wei and Wei Changfeng shouted in unison, "What? The barbarians are planning to submit to our court? ”
The two of them looked shocked, Da Zhou and the barbarians have been fighting for years, why do the barbarians suddenly want to surrender? There has been no rumor before.
