The Ministry of War was originally an organization under the Ministry of War that delivered official documents and received people, but now they received an order to ask them to receive the peace envoy from Liaodong, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while? What kind of reception is the first thing to understand. The ambassador raised this question layer by layer, and the reply he received was: "Receive according to the judgment of the army." ”

So when the envoy of Houjin came to the military headquarters, the ambassador sat in front of the only big case in the Huitong Pavilion, looked at him and said, "Kneel!" ”

The messenger was a Jurchen, and if he could stand this anger, he was about to roll up his sleeves and step forward to beat him, and the soldier next to him raised his spear and aimed it at him. The deputy envoy beside him was a Han man, and hurriedly grabbed the envoy and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to them." ”

After the deputy envoy calmed the envoy, he stepped forward and asked: "The Ming Dynasty claims to be a state of etiquette, is this how it treats the envoys of other countries?" ”

The ambassador looked at the deputy envoy contemptuously and said, "Other countries? When did Jiannu become another country? However, it is only a sentence of the military. You gave up your Chinese clothes and crowned and voluntarily became a barbarian, and after he was killed by our army on the battlefield, can he have the face to see your ancestors and ancestors? ”

The deputy envoy originally thought that he had grasped the essence of the inconsistency between the inside and the outside of the Ming Dynasty, and he could talk to the ambassador about the big reason, but he didn't want the ambassador to follow his routine at all and directly target his hairstyle. No matter how much he wanted to take refuge in Houjin to glorify his fame, the matter of shaving his hair was an eternal pain in the hearts of traitors during this period. When the ambassador said this, he was speechless.

Later, Jin Zheng's envoy saw that the deputy envoy actually softened, and scolded him with a slap in the face: "What are you talking to him?" I thought you had something shocking, but I was speechless, these bright people will not be afraid if they don't see blood. ”

At this time, the ambassador made a look, and one of the soldiers stabbed the envoy in the crook of the leg, and then quickly drew it, and the envoy screamed, and fell to his knees, and streams of blood came out of the crook of the wounded leg.

The ambassador smiled: "Look, we Ming people are not afraid of blood, I don't know if you are afraid?" ”

The envoy scolded angrily: "You are cheating, do you dare to fight with grandpa and me fairly!" ”

Another soldier stepped forward and slapped him in the face, knocking him to the ground. The ambassador said: "They have all come to sue for peace, but their mouths are quite hard, is it fair and unfair on the battlefield in Liaodong?" Don't talk nonsense, what conditions does the slave chief have to say it quickly. ”

The envoy looked at the bloody leg and shouted: "Zhang Wancheng, you don't wrap my leg, do you want me to die?" Don't your whole family want to live? ”

The deputy envoy was hesitating, and the ambassador said, "Zhang Wancheng, do you know what conditions the slave chief has?" ”

Zhang Wancheng nodded, then stepped forward and tore off a piece of his clothes, wrapped the wound of the envoy, tied a knot vigorously, and helped him up.

The ambassador shook his head and extinguished his thoughts of persuading Zhang Wancheng. He said, "Vulna, can you say your conditions now?" ”

Zheng glanced at the ambassador hatefully, but he also knew the truth that people had to bow their heads when they were under the roof. said: "The Great Khan of my family is willing to give up the Quang Ninh place, and the two sides are bounded by the Liao River. Please Daming send the four Baylors back, and the two families will be happy forever. ”

The ambassador smiled: "Just this condition? Nothing else? ”

The envoy said: "Giving up the land of Guangning, west of the Liao River, isn't this condition enough?" ”

The ambassador smiled: "Come on, take the two of you to rest." Da Ming has always been very polite to the rebels, so please don't run around, otherwise something will happen, and you can't blame us. ”

The ambassador went to see Huang Kezhang and explained Houjin's conditions. Huang Kezhang smiled and said: "Jiannu has a good plan, Guangning is not in their hands now, we have already occupied a lot of territory east of the Liao River, can we still give it back to them?" Joke, Your Majesty will definitely not agree, I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow. ”

The next day was the Great Dynasty Meeting, and Fang Congzhe stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, since the Great Edict was promulgated by Taizu, the laws of the Ming Dynasty have not changed. But now the situation is very different from the past, so the ministers thought that they should formulate more detailed and reasonable laws, so as to regulate the people of the world and the affairs of the world, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The matter of changing the law is related to all the people in the world, and it must be carefully considered, and it is impossible for the cabinet to formulate it directly, and it is necessary to listen to the opinions of the military and civilian gentry in various places, so that it can conform to the affairs of the world and benefit the world." I wonder if you have a good way? ”

Ye Xianggao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the change of the law is a major event in the world, so we must listen to the opinions of the people in the world. ”

Immediately, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the law is the law used by the Son of Heaven to govern the world, and the foolish people are ignorant, so they only need to obey the law, so why ask for their opinions?" ”

Another official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the people can let it go, but they can't let it know, and the words of the saints must not be ignored." ”

Huang Kezhang stood up and scolded: "You Shiren, Your Majesty has already explained this sentence, and you dare to break the sentence again, but I think Your Majesty will not dare to punish you." ”

Guangxi Provincial Imperial History Traveler Ren said: "Your Majesty once said that everyone has their own understanding, not that what Your Majesty said is correct, and the minister's understanding is different from Your Majesty's, so how can you provoke Your Majesty's punishment?" ”

Ye Xianggao stood up and said, "Your Majesty said this, it's just a humble word. As ministers, how can we resist the words of the monarch? To know the learning of the saints is not to be foolish. Now that His Majesty has opened halls in various places, he wants to make the people of the world no longer ignorant, and everyone in the world can express their opinions on the affairs of the world. ”

You Shi Ren first attacked with what the emperor once said, which is equivalent to attacking the spear of the son and the shield of the son. And Ye Xianggao used the difference between monarchs and ministers to put Youshiren at a moral disadvantage, and then attacked him with Youshiren's words, which is also a spear of the son and a shield of the attacker.

You Shiren kowtowed and said, "The minister is vain about the monarch's father, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The reason is not clear, there can indeed be various understandings, but You Qing should know that the will of a saint lies in educating the world, so how can he say that the people can make it and not know it?" ”

Ye Xianggao said: "Therefore, the meaning of the sage must be what His Majesty said, the people can, make it, cannot, make it known, so as to show the sage's intention to educate the world." ”

In fact, after Zhu Youxiao said this sentence in his speech last time, everyone has already recognized this way of breaking sentences. You Shiren actually understood, but they felt that the emperor's power was too great and must be suppressed, so as long as the emperor's suggestion was denied, it would be denied first.
