Since the father and son had dinner in the palace, the situation in Houhai has gradually stabilized. There were no more snowflakes of impeachment before the Emperor, and the country was on the right track of prosperity, and the ambition of the public was once again rising, and he wanted to find the Middle-earth Mission.

How to find it has become a top priority for Houhai State. Some people have proposed to send a large army to carry out a carpet search on the border of Houhai State, so that they will be able to see people alive and corpses when they die.

But since the mutiny, the emperor has lost trust in his ministers, and no matter who he sends, even if he is afraid of his own son, it is impossible for them to have a heavy army. So this opinion was quickly dismissed.

In the court, the civil and military officials knew that this was an almost impossible task, so no one dared to express their opinions easily. But the emperor didn't give up, looked at the ministers around him, and said, "Cangzhong Confucian, you are known as the first think tank in Houhai Kingdom, what good way do you want to talk about?" ”

Cangzhong Confucianism saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the envoy of Middle-earth are unknown, and our country is to blame, the minister suggests that we not only go to find it, but also send a mission to explain the situation like the emperor of Middle-earth, and send heavy troops to guard the frontier to prevent the Middle-earth Xingshi from asking for guilt!" ”

As soon as the words fell. At this time, a hurried voice came from outside the palace gate, "Report...... The border pass is urgent, and the Middle Earth has sent a holy decree, please look at it! ”

Suddenly, there was a heated discussion in the court. Why did another decree come, although the decree has not yet been announced, but the ministers have a sense of foreboding.

Then the emperor ordered someone to open the holy decree and read: "At the beginning of this year, our dynasty sent an embassy to establish diplomatic relations with your country, but the mission was sent for more than half a year, and there was no news, and I hope your country will give an explanation." ”

With a few strokes, the ministers present verified the panic just now, which was clearly a challenge. As soon as Cangzhong Confucian's words were finished, they were immediately fulfilled, and at this time, Zhongzhong's heart was very heavy, and everything was done according to Cangzhong Confucian's instructions.

After the decree was issued, the top priority was to select the right person to do two things, one of which was to mobilize the whole country to find the mission, and if it could be found, then the problem would be solved. There is also the need to send someone to Middle-earth to clarify the situation, this person must have an understanding of Middle-earth, and must have the ability to adapt to changes, and must not offend the emperor and ministers of Middle-earth, and more importantly, must not lose the dignity of Houhai State, and make it clear that the disappearance of Middle-earth envoys in Houhai has nothing to do with it. People with such very demanding requirements, where can they be found in the entire Houhai country?

Just when Cangzhong Confucianism was at a loss, General Dedi took the initiative to ask Ying to be willing to be an envoy to Middle-earth.

Cangzhong Confucianism dismissed it in one mouth, and his reason was that "General Dedi, as a military general, may not be able to withstand the aggressiveness of the ministers of Middle-earth." ”

However, Cangzhong Confucianism gave him another errand, that is, to lead a team of men and horses to find the envoys of Middle-earth. I thought that Dedi would do everything possible to refuse, because Cangzhong Ru also knew that this was an almost impossible task, but unexpectedly, Dedi actually agreed very happily.

Then I thought that Dedi would take this opportunity to ask for a large number of people, but this time Dedi did it very honestly, only a thousand people. The emperor was ashamed of his actions, and privately promised that he would be restored to his position as the first general of the Houhai Kingdom after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Turkey.

sent away this person who made the emperor love and fear, but the emperor did not slack off in the slightest. He had been thinking about who to send to Middle-earth. After thinking about it, the emperor made the final decision, that is, to send the great Confucian of the Houhai Kingdom "Cangzhong Confucian!" ”

After getting the news, Cangzhong Ru was also very surprised. He hurriedly went to the Great Cause to discuss the matter.

Da Ye naturally did not agree to let his think tank go to Middle-earth, but Cangzhong Confucian, said, "Prince, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this time the old man must do his best to persuade the emperor of Middle-earth to send an envoy to establish diplomatic relations." ”

Da Ye also knew that only his teacher in the entire Houhai Kingdom could take on this important responsibility, but the struggle between him and Guoshi Yan had entered a white-hot point, and he could not leave him as a teacher for a moment.

So the great cause retorted, "Teacher, are you so sure of convincing the emperor of Middle-earth?" What if people don't believe you and kill you? ”

Cangzhong Ru looked at the great cause with firm eyes, and said, "This is exactly the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the old man said." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think so, and the Emperor will not think so? ”

Daye Zhong didn't understand the intention of Confucianism, and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Cangzhong Confucian, said, "This trip to Middle-earth is unpredictable, and the old man took this opportunity to propose to His Majesty that he seize the time to complete the marriage contract set by General Yu Dedi!" ”

At this time, the meaning of Confucianism in Cangzhong was understood. He wanted to marry Shanqiu, the daughter of the general of Dedi, at the cost of his own life and glory, and only in this way would Dedi have no reason to refute, let alone let Guoshiyan marry her daughter.

Cangzhong Confucianism once again made such a big sacrifice, and he was especially grateful for the great cause, and said, "The kindness of the teacher is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!" ”

Looking at the great cause kneeling in front of him, as a great Confucian, he did not care about this courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but said, "With the words of the prince, it is worth it even if the old man really dies!" ”

Then Cangzhong Confucianism analyzed again, and said, "After the wedding, you must treat Shanqiu well, after all, she still has tens of thousands of Iron Lady Army in her hands, which is a force that cannot be underestimated." Bashan is at best a brave and unscrupulous horseman, and now he has gone to the border again, Tie Zhongjun has lost his soul, as long as you husband and wife are single-minded, relying on the strength of the Iron Lady Army to master Tie Zhongjun is just around the corner. ”

It turned out that the teacher actually played such a big game of chess, and for the first time in the great cause, he felt that the most terrible place was not the battlefield, but in the court.

After the explanation, Cangzhong Ru came to the palace in front of the emperor non-stop. At this time, the emperor sent someone to bring a chair for Cangzhong Confucianism to sit down.

But Cangzhong Confucianism shirked and said, "Your Majesty must not, the training stipulates that only the prince of the dynasty is qualified to sit down and discuss politics, and the ministers will never dare." ”

Zhongzhong said like a child's temper, "Okay, since you don't sit, I won't sit either, let's stand and discuss together!" ”

Cangzhong Ru said again, "Minister, I don't dare to let Your Majesty stand and discuss matters even if you die." ”

The emperor then walked down the high hall, pressed Cangzhong Confucian on the chair, and said, "Haoran, you can sit down!" ”

Haoran is the name of Cangzhong Confucianism before entering Shidezhi. Haoran world, righteousness lasts forever, is the motto of Cangzhong Confucianism in his youth, it can be seen that Cangzhong Confucianism in his youth has great ambitions.

A sentence of "Haoran" made Cangzhong Confucian feel very gratified, he was grateful, and said, "It's rare that Your Majesty still knows the scientific name of the minister before he entered the office, and it is difficult for the minister to repay the grace of heaven even if he dies!" ”

Only then did the emperor sit on the dragon chair and said, "You don't have to be excited, this time you went to Middle-earth to resolve the crisis, you are the great benefactor of our Houhai Kingdom, I want to thank you!" ”

Cangzhong Confucian, said, "Share worries for the country, the duty of the minister, dare to be told!" ”

The emperor said that "Confucianism is Confucianism, the diameter of the chest is like the sea, and the stars and the moon are loyal!" I have decreed that you will be appointed as the prince's auxiliary minister, and you will be a princeling in the name of righteousness! ”

Hearing what the emperor said, although the crown prince and the auxiliary minister were the prime ministers of the future Houhai Kingdom, that is, the ministers who held the country in the past. The previous minister was the crown prince's auxiliary minister when the current emperor was the crown prince. But the difference is that according to the custom, the prince's auxiliary ministers are personally selected by the prince, and the emperor generally does not intervene, the purpose is to let the prince cultivate his own strength.

It is not that Da Ye Zhong does not want to canonize Cangzhong Ru as his prince and auxiliary minister, but he has experienced a mutiny and a ban not long after he has just discussed politics, so Da Ye has been looking for another opportunity. The emperor naturally grasped this opportunity and fulfilled this wish for his son. It is also to buy people's hearts.

After hearing the will, Cangzhong Confucianism kowtowed in thanksgiving. The Emperor asked, "If you have any other requests, I will try to accommodate you!" ”

Cangzhong Confucianism seized the opportunity and said, "The minister came this time, there is something to play, please consider the emperor!" ”

The Emperor said, "Just say it!" ”

Cangzhong Ru then got straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the marriage contract made by General Yu Dedi?" ”

The emperor said, "Naturally, I remember, but I haven't figured out who to let marry the daughter of the general of the land, so I can't let her be wronged!" ”

Cangzhong Confucianism could hear the emperor's concerns. So he said, "Your Majesty is worried that the minister doesn't understand. But it is impossible to take back what His Majesty has said, and now that the land has gone to the border, the current priority is to get married immediately and appease the loyalty of the land. ”

The Emperor nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Which of my two sons do you think is more suitable to marry her daughter?" ”

Cangzhong Confucianism replied categorically, "Prince, in the great cause!" ”

The emperor heard Cangzhong Confucian's words without hesitation. First he paused for a moment, and then said, "En! Yes, yes, you see I'm so confused, you're a princeling! ”

Cangzhong Ru said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "It's not that the minister is a princeling, and he speaks for the master, I have absolute reason to think that this matter is none other than the prince." ”

The emperor looked at Cangzhong Ru's confident face and said, "That's good, you can talk about it." ”

So Cangzhong Confucianism explained, "No one in the court knows, and I hope that my daughter will marry the second prince Guoshiyan." It seems that the general is not moved by the glory and wealth, but this is exactly what makes the general of the land clever. ”

The emperor interjected and said, "What kind of clever method? ”

Cangzhong Ru said, "If you marry your daughter to the prince, it seems to be the right person." But after a hundred years of His Majesty, the name of the great cause is justified, and the position of the first general of the Haiguo after the land is still consolidated, so I naturally have to thank him as a son-in-law! ”

"But if he marries his daughter to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, then things will be different. The world knows that the second prince of the country is a soldier, a corporal of Lixian, and the people's aspirations, once the two join forces, there will be a catastrophe in the Houhai Kingdom, and once it becomes a big thing, the general is the biggest hero! ”

Cangzhong Ru's words suddenly raised the emperor's heart to his throat, and he suddenly turned around and shouted loudly, "Cangzhong Ru, you are guilty of capital crimes!" ”

Cangzhong Confucianism did not have the slightest timidity, but had a sense of relief, and said, "The minister is indeed a capital crime!" ”

Although Cangzhong Confucian's words seem to be provoking the feelings between their father and son. But his words are unreasonable, once Guo Shiyan and Dedi's daughter are married, then if they join forces, Dedi will be Guoshiyan's biggest hero. And whether the successor he designated in the great cause can withstand it, the emperor felt afraid after thinking about it.

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Cangzhong Confucianism to step down. Although no answer was given, Cangzhong could almost conclude that his words went to the emperor's heart.
