Chapter 29 Special Envoy of the Great Shun Kingdom
Gu Junen's proposal to negotiate peace with Jiang Chuan hit the heart of many people. It's just that they didn't want to say it, they didn't dare to say it, and now Gu Junen said it for them, so everyone looked at Li Zicheng in unison.
After all, Li Zicheng was born in mud, although he is now the emperor of Dashun and has majesty, but he is not the kind of person who can't listen to words.
And Gu Junen has always been trusted by him, so he didn't get angry because of this sentence.
After all, it's just a matter of getting to the bottom of it, not to surrender, so Li Zicheng picked up the cigarette bag and pot thrown on the table again, and smoked it, spitting out smoke rings while smoking.
Everyone knows that Li Zicheng likes to smoke cigarette pouches when he is thinking about things, so they are all waiting for him quietly.
Not long after, Li Zicheng spit out a big smoke ring, cocked his left leg, dusted the cigarette pouch and pot on the sole of his boot, and then said: "Okay, then talk to Jiang Chuan, a descendant, and ask him what he wants to do." Who's going to do this? It's just you, Jun En, you can talk about it, go and ask, tell this little descendant, if he can bring down our great shun, I will also make him a king. ”
Gu Junen said calmly: "The minister obeys the order, and he must convey His Majesty's words to Jiang Chuan." ”
Li Zicheng saw that Gu Junen agreed without hesitation, his expression was a little relaxed, he thought about it and said: "Junen, you go and take a good look, see what kind of person this little offspring is, how can he be so capable of fighting, so powerful." If I can get him to vote for me, I will promote you to be the deputy prime minister. ”
"Also, if you tell him that if he can't get along with me, then Lao Tzu's hundreds of thousands of troops are not vegetarians. It's not that I'm afraid of him, I just don't want to make it so troublesome. Li Zicheng added.
Listening to this Emperor Dashun for a while, Gu Junen smiled bitterly in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order, he must be moved by that Jiangchuan, understand it with reason, and strive to let him take refuge in Your Majesty." ”
Li Zicheng laughed with satisfaction, thrust the cigarette pouch pot behind his belt, and shouted: "Okay, without further ado, you will go to see that Housheng after eating." Food, food, Lao Tzu's stomach has already screamed. Is the haggis soup ready, and the wine, all of them are served to Lao Tzu. ”
At this time, the generals of the Dashun Army still maintained some simple peasant style, and when things were settled, when it came to eating, they all grinned and shouted.
Haggis soup is a very popular food in the rice fat area of Li Zicheng's hometown, but it is generally eaten by large families.
Now that he is the emperor, he can eat as much as he wants, and there are special people in the army who drive a group of sheep to follow the army to fight in the south and the north, just to supply Li Zicheng and those local generals of Mizhi to drink haggis soup and eat mutton cakes.
A group of fire-headed veterans in aprons carried soup pots and stacks of mutton patties into the big tent, and soon the whole big tent was filled with the peculiar fishy smell of mutton, and then there was a burst of snorting and drinking soup.
…………
Jiang Chuan had just finished lunch, a little sleepy, and took a break in the king's tent.
When he just woke up and was a little out of spirit, and asked the guards to wash his face with a basin of water, Bai Mu came in and said, "Lord, Li Zicheng sent someone to see you." ”
Jiang Chuan's action of washing his face stopped, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Zicheng to send someone.
After slowly washing his face and wiping his face with a cotton hand towel, Jiang Chuan felt refreshed, and then asked, "How many people are here?" What is your name? ”
"Just one man, with two retinues. The person who came called himself Gu Junen. ”
"Gu Junen? It sounds familiar. Jiang Chuan seemed to think that he had heard this name somewhere, and after thinking about it, he might have seen it when he was reading a book in his previous life.
"Bring him in, and I'll see what Li Zicheng wants to tell me." Jiang Chuan waved his hand, and the guards on the side stepped forward to serve Jiang Chuan and put on soft armor.
Gu Junen came in from Yuanmen all the way, and what he saw and heard, he was already shocked in his heart.
The camp of the Jiang family army is majestic and neat, and everywhere it goes is silent, only a group of solemn-looking armor soldiers make neat footsteps when patrolling, and the main color of the entire military camp is black, and there is a strong aura of solemnity everywhere.
If you are a timid person, you may not be able to walk with weak legs when you enter this barracks.
Gu Junen was also afraid in his heart, but he had been studying since he was a child, and he also practiced this Jingqi Kung Fu.
Whenever there is a big event, he should be calm, which is what he has always asked himself, so although he was shocked and frightened in his heart, he still showed relatively calm on his face.
However, the two entourage soldiers brought with them were all pale, their legs trembled, and they were a little unsteady when they walked.
Especially at the gate of the Yuan, after being swept by the cold gaze of those tall and sturdy Qin princes in silver armor, these two almost fell to the ground.
It is precisely because of this that the more Gu Junen goes inside, the more he loses confidence in the task given to him by Li Zicheng.
If you want others to surrender, you must be stronger than others. But when the two sides compare like this, look at the military appearance of others, and then think about the military appearance of the Dashun army, this defeat under the hands of others is really not a loss.
In this case, if Gu Junen can still have the confidence to convince Jiang Chuan, then it will really be a hell of a sight.
But at this point, he couldn't back down, so he could only bite the bullet.
Naturally, the two entourages would not be allowed to enter the king's tent, they were weaponized and guarded in a military tent next to them, and only Gu Junen was brought into the king's tent by Bai Mu.
"My lord, someone brought it."
Jiang Chuan looked at it again in front of the huge Daming map, and when he heard Bai Mu's words, he turned around and looked the person standing in front of him up and down.
The person in front of him was a middle-aged scribe, of medium stature, with a slightly round face, clear eyebrows, and three long whiskers under his chin, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"You are Gu Junen, why did Li Zicheng send you to see this king?" Jiang Chuan asked with a slight smile.
Although Gu Junen heard that the King of Qin was very young, but at first glance, he saw that the King of Qin, who had shocked the world, destroyed the Manchu Qing Kingdom, and had just defeated the 230,000 Great Shun Army in three battles, was so young, he was shocked in his heart, and he was a little out of shape for a while, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard Jiang Chuan's question, and hurriedly bowed and said: "The special envoy of the Emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, Gu Junen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”
Bai Mu on the side suddenly snorted coldly: "Boldly Gu Junen, when you see that the prince of my family doesn't kneel, do you want to die?" ”
Gu Junen was already uneasy, and was so frightened that he almost knelt down when Bai Mu suddenly shouted, but he still tried to stabilize his legs, stood up straight, and said in a calmest tone as calmly as possible: "Gu Junen is a minister of Dashun, not a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the person he meets is the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, not the king of my Dashun, so naturally there is no need to kneel." Come to think of it, His Royal Highness King Qin won't blame his subordinates. ”
Bai Mu was stunned for a moment, and was about to say more, but Jiang Chuan laughed: "Good Gu Junen, he really has some courage." No wonder Li Zicheng sent you to be a lobbyist. Bai Mu, let people serve tea, and suppress the surprise to the envoy. ”
