Bai Mu led the order to go out and quickly brought in a person.

is just a man who looks very capable, although his stature is not high, and his appearance is ordinary, but there is a shrewd look in his eyes.

"This is His Royal Highness King Qin." Bai Mu took the man to Jiang Chuan and said loudly.

The man glanced at Jiang Chuan quickly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, obviously surprised that His Royal Highness the famous King Qin was so young.

"The villain Meng Tao sees His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" The man only glanced at Jiang Chuan and quickly withdrew his gaze, knelt down and bowed to worship, and the etiquette was impeccable.

"Meng Tao? Are you a member of the Ministry of War, Meng Junze, and Lord Meng's mansion? As soon as Jiang Chuan heard this person claiming to be surnamed Meng, he immediately thought of Meng Junze, who has now become the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty and is in charge of the defense of the capital.

In ancient times, many subordinates would follow the surname of the master. Of course, this kind of is the kind that has signed a lifelong deed of sale, or the kind that has been raised by a large family since childhood.

Ordinary hired servants keep their original surnames.

There was a flash of surprise on the face of the person who came, and he said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the villain is the family of Lord Meng." On the orders of my lord, I sent a letter to His Royal Highness from my lord. ”

After speaking, he took out a letter from his bosom and held it high above his head.

Bai Mushan took the letter in front of him, pinched it with his hand, and made sure that there was nothing else inside, and then stepped forward to hand it to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan first glanced at the envelope, which read: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin personally opened", and the signature was "Minister, Meng Junze"

Look at the seal again, the lacquer seal of the seal is intact, and it is covered with a small seal, which is obviously Meng Junze's private seal.

After making sure that the envelope was intact, Jiang Chuan tore open the envelope and took out the stationery inside to look at it.

The letter was written by Meng Junze to Jiang Chuan, and it was written in a personal voice, not in his current capacity as the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the military department.

When he opened the letter, Jiang Chuan thought that Meng Junze was going to tell him a big reason, and he wanted to use the words of a loyal minister and filial son to hold himself, so that he could lead his troops to the capital as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, after reading the letter, Jiang Chuan was a little surprised, and even said that he was a little shocked.

This letter is actually very short, except for a few words expressing admiration for the opening words, the core meaning is a few sentences: "The foundation of the Ming Dynasty has rotted, the building will fall, and no one with insight will bury it." The old man knows Your Highness's ambitions, and does not ask Your Highness to support the court, but only hopes that Your Highness can quickly send troops to save the Ming royal family. ”

"In the future, the south and north of the temple will look at creation. If it is the will of heaven in the king, the old decay will definitely help. The Son of Heaven is protected, which will also be of great help to His Highness's future great cause, so please send troops to relieve the danger of the capital as soon as possible, and I will do my best to maintain the capital from being attacked by the rogues, and wait for the arrival of His Highness's army. ”

Meng Junze's letter was written very straightforwardly, I don't know if it was because this Shoufu Lord was born in the military, so his style was more rude or because in order to make Jiang Chuan, who read the letter, understand it more clearly, so there were not so many polite words and twists and turns.

But strictly speaking, these words can really be said to be a big rebellion, if the emperor knows about it, he will definitely be sent to prison in minutes.

However, from the perspective of the general trend, these words are telling the truth.

After reading it, Jiang Chuan was silent for a long time, and his face was strange.

Hu Zongxian, who was on the side, looked at Jiang Chuan's face was wrong, and said to the capable man named Meng Tao: "You go down to rest first, and Your Highness will summon you when he has something." ”

That Meng Tao didn't know what was written in the letter, and he didn't know who Hu Zongxian was, but seeing that he was sitting next to King Qin, he was obviously also a loyal confidant of King Qin, so he didn't dare to say much, so he bowed and retreated with Bai Mu.

When only he and Hu Zongxian were left in the room, Jiang Chuan handed the letter to Hu Zongxian: "Ruzhen, you can also take a look." What exactly does this Meng cannon mean? ”

Hu Zongxian took the letter with curiosity, and after reading it quickly, his face became strange, he put the letter on the table, and said after a while: "Everyone can understand the meaning on the surface, but I don't know if this Meng Ge always said this deliberately in order to let the lord send troops quickly, or if he just thought so in his heart." ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "That's it." It stands to reason that as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and also the head of the cabinet, it can be said that he is deeply favored by the emperor, and the holy family is long, according to normal logic, it is also necessary to put on a posture of defending the emperor to the death, defending the Ming Dynasty, and turning the tide. But this one is good, and it is so straightforward, but it makes me a little confused. ”

The reason why Egawa felt strange was because the letter was too abnormal.

This Meng Junze has never dealt with him, and he is also the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty today, but he clearly told himself in the letter: His Royal Highness King Qin, I know your ambitions, and you will not be satisfied, little prince.

I also know that the roots of the big tree of Daming have long been rotten, and no one with a little brain will fall into the ditch with it, I understand this.

It's just that as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, my last bit of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is to ask you to bring someone to defeat Li Zicheng as soon as possible and rescue the emperor.

After saving the emperor, whether you want to be an emperor or a courtier depends on your creation.

If you do rescue the Emperor, it will be very helpful for your future prestige. And if you want to reach the top in the future, I will definitely support you.

So. Hurry up and bring someone here, I can hold on to this side of the capital for the time being.

The meaning of this is very clear, but what makes Jiang Chuan wonder is what is Meng Junze's real motive? Is it to trick yourself into going to King Qin quickly? Or do you want to let yourself go to King Qin, but also use this letter to show that you want to be attached to yourself?

Hu Zongxian thought for a while and said: "My lord, the minister thinks that Meng Junze's words are not hiding any evil intentions, but because he sees the situation too clearly, and sees too clearly the result that the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty will sink." This person should not be the kind of foolish and loyal person, nor is he the kind of person who only has selfish intentions in the Donglin Party, but a truly wise person. ”

Jiang Chuan was silent, got up and paced the ground twice before bowing his head and saying: "What Ruzhen said is reasonable, this person can see my true ambition, and unabashedly show his attitude, he just wants to save the emperor, but he doesn't protect the Ming Dynasty, but it coincides with our previous thoughts."

And since he dared to write such a letter to me, and also stamped it with a private seal, it actually showed his attitude. Otherwise, if he wants to deceive the king, then we only need to hand over this letter to the Ming Emperor, and his fate can be imagined. ”

Hu Zongxian smiled: "What the lord said is extremely true. It's just that this Lord Meng didn't know that our two-way army had already set off. Since this is the case, the lord will give him a favor, let him be grateful, and in the future, the lord can also have one more important minister. ”

Jiang Chuan had an idea in his heart, so he sat down behind the desk and quickly wrote a reply, and after writing it, he read it again and stamped his own royal seal.

After sealing the letter, he called Meng Tao, the man who asked people to deliver the letter, and handed the letter to him: "Go back and tell Lord Meng that this king respects him very much." His request has been answered in this king's letter. It is said that this king is like a mountain, and he will never break his word. I also hope that Meng Ge Lao can do what he said in his letter. ”

Meng Tao nodded and said loudly: "The words of the prince, the villain must return to my master as it is." The villain retired and returned to the capital. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded, and said to Bai Mu on the side: "Give him a token in the army, if you meet our soldiers along the way, you can pass smoothly with the token, and if you are in danger, you can also hold the token to ask Di Qing and Shanjia for help." ”

Meng Tao's face flashed with joy, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain thanks the prince for his kindness." ”

After Bai Mu took him out, Jiang Chuan walked to the huge Da Ming map and stared at it in contemplation.
