Chapter 5 Preparation for negotiations
Inside and outside the Qianyuan Palace, all the ministers were shocked when they heard the news, because in order to avoid the uneasiness caused by the court ministers knowing about this matter, only a few important ministers knew about the Wusi Khan hitting outside the city gate, and the others were blocked from the news.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry too much, the Usi Khan will negotiate peace outside the gate of Hua'an City at noon today, and when the peace is completed, it will roll back to the prairie, and then settle this account after my Huaguo recuperates in the future." Jing Kaige said magnificently, as an emperor, no matter what the moment, you must set a good example for the people of the world, once you are in a hurry, the world will be unstable.
Jing Kaige then said: "Let's make a decree." Then he reflexively sat back on his dragon chair.
Huang Gonggong bent down and nodded, stretched out the golden jade shaft holy decree rolled up with both hands, and read aloud in a sharp voice: "Since I inherited the throne, I have always aimed at the internal stability of my Dahua, but today this goal has been achieved, but the Youth League on the grassland is attacking again, in order to maintain the stability of the country, I agree to the peace of the Youth League today, and send the six princes Zetian and Li Yuanshang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to negotiate peace, remember not to fall the prestige of my Dahua, and order the commander of the forbidden army, Xiao Jun, to lead the forbidden army of 3,000 to protect the safety of Yihe and others, Ordered Luo Yifeng, director of the Soldiers and Horses Division, to mobilize all the soldiers of the Tiger Guard to strictly guard Hua'an City in case of accidents. ”
"The sons (ministers) are in charge." The crowd answered.
"You and other ministers continue to do their own work, don't worry about foreign enemies, retreat from the court." Jing Kaige said, and then got up and returned to his Chengtian Palace.
"Congratulations to the emperor." The ministers said in unison.
When the emperor left, Jing Zetian immediately twisted his body, and couldn't help but think that the early dynasty was too tired, there were too many rules, and he was mixed with several dynasties in his previous life, but fortunately, he watched enough film and television dramas and could keep up. Just as Jing Zetian was about to ask his father about how the process would proceed today, Li Yuanshang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said: "Sixth Prince, it's almost noon, you can go back to the Ministry of Rites with me now, we and Your Majesty have already discussed it yesterday, let's talk while walking." ”
Well, it seems that today I am an ornament, I went to discuss it yesterday and didn't let me listen to it, Jing Zetian thought speechlessly, but he could also understand that he was only twelve years old, if it weren't for the request of Uss Khan, he estimated that this would be sunshine, fruit and autumn fragrance.
Jing Zetian and Li Yuanshang sat opposite each other on the carriage, this carriage is different from the common one in Huaguo, it is Jing Zetian's exclusive car, which Jing Zetian specially asked Li Yuanshang to wait for a while just now for the guards to control it.
According to the regulations, Jing Zetian, as the prince, can have the right to drive four horses, and the horsepower of the four horses is very sufficient. In order not to waste horsepower, Jing Zetian posted a paragraph in the paragraph, "Looking for the manufacturing diagram of ancient luxury carriages, the space should be large, four horsepower, the interior should be comfortable, and the shock absorption should be the best, and the premise can only be processed with ancient materials". After Jing Zetian released this news, he waited for a few days, and the almighty Duan friends commented on the complete information. Jing Zetian spent a lot of effort drawing the drawings and manufacturing methods in his mind one by one. Finally, through the Ministry of Industry to complete this unique carriage in this world, this carriage is first four-wheeled, because of the steering problem, now the carriages in Huaguo are two-wheeled, Jing Zetian through the front axle independent steering device provided by Duan You, to create a four-wheeled carriage, so that it is more comfortable to sit than the two-wheeled one, the wooden wheel is wrapped with a thick iron sheet, due to the limited technical materials, shock absorption has been the best ability. The four-wheeled carriage formed in the end is much more comfortable than the sedan chair, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to break because of the material, so Jing Zetian rarely takes it out and uses it, and today he has to do big things, so he takes it out and uses it.
Jing Zetian and Li Yuanshang sat opposite each other in the carriage, and a four-corner table of suitable size was placed in the middle of the carriage, and a corner of the carriage was still burning charcoal, which was something that only nobles could enjoy. Jing Zetian ate the original melon seeds, and Li Yuanshang took a sip of hot tea, Jing Zetian couldn't stand the tea that people in this era drank, and even put garlic in it, which was unbearable.
"His Royal Highness the prince's carriage is really chic, His Royal Highness's secrecy work is too strict, no one in my Ministry of Rites knows about it, if this kind of car can be promoted, it is also a way to promote the prestige of our country." Li Yuanshang leaned on the backrest and said comfortably. It's as if I didn't pay any attention to what I was going to do for a while.
"Hehe, the main thing is that it is not easy to build and too easy to damage, and I don't use it often, so I just use it today." Jing Zetian said with a smile.
"Well, when you meet with Uskhan in a while, Your Highness doesn't have to worry, everything is arranged by the old man, and Your Highness is actually a disaster." Li Yuanshang said with a smile. He was worried that the prince was young and had bad thoughts in his heart, so he indirectly comforted him.
"Li Shangshu, don't treat me as a child, I have already tied my hair, and I will be out of the cabinet as a prince in two years, I understand, now I have a question, what is the bottom line of today's negotiation of my Dahua?" Jing Zetian asked directly. Although everyone treats him as a vase, he also has to know the specific situation, so that his eyes will be blackened when the time comes.
"Today's negotiation estimates that my Dahua is going to bleed a lot, although His Majesty is very calm on the surface, in fact, he can't tolerate the Youth League in his heart, but unfortunately my Dahua needs to be Taoguang now. Your Majesty and I have discussed, this time the grain, tea, silk, and medicinal herbs are to be sent to Uskhan to appease him, and I am ready to marry His Majesty's princess to Uss Khan, so as to bring a few years of stability to my Dahua. Li Yuanshang said this, his hands were also tightly clenched, and he was very unwilling.
"Hmph, after a few years of Taoguang cultivation in my Dahua, I will definitely destroy the Youth League and wash away today's shame, and the people of the foreign race should really be caught as slaves, and the capriciousness of the province." Jing Zetian said hatefully when he heard Li Yuanshang's words. As an angry youth, he really can't stand the treatment of foreigners by the ancient Chinese court, this kind of white-eyed wolf should be beaten hard, repaired if he is not satisfied, and can only be obedient when he is honest.
"Your Highness, remember not to do this, I Dahua governs the country with Confucianism, and everything must have good thoughts, after all, foreign races are not civilized, and we should educate them one by one." Li Shangshu retorted at this time.
Li Shangshu said this is wrong, since the Qin Dynasty, we always fight foreign races, to the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu completely wiped out the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu can gradually ease up for hundreds of years. Now there is the Youth League in the north, the countries of the Western Regions in the west, and the barbarians in the south who have not yet submitted to it, all of which need to be suppressed by force. Jing Zetian said with a firm face.
Jing Zetian deeply understands that the various imperial courts in China are too merciful to foreign races, resulting in capricious foreign races, plundering at every turn, anyway, admitting mistakes and bowing their heads, the imperial court rarely sends troops to recruit again.
