Chapter 0238 The letter of state arrives in Bianjing

Liu Zhengyan glanced at Xu Jun before replying, "Lord Qian, in fact, it is not a critical moment, but it is true that the Tubo tribes are in chaos now!" ”

Qian Heng sighed a little regretfully, "Although the timing is good, it's a pity that I'm a little out of reach here, especially the Uighur tribes in the west of Tibet, we don't have the energy to deal with it for the time being, so even if we have the strength to integrate the Tibetan tribes now, we can only put it on hold for the time being, and we can only collect the potential tribes little by little!" ”

Liu Zhengyan nodded, "Indeed, as Lord Qian said, it is indeed the best time for us to gather the potential clans in it now!" ”

Liu Zhengyan said this, and Qian Heng also understood the meaning of his words.

Qian Heng's gaze fell on Xu Jun, "What are the plans of the public executive?" ”

Xu Lu was happy, "The subordinates understand the intentions of the owner, so the subordinates will go to Tubo with General Liu first, and this time they are not in a hurry to summon those herdsmen to come here, if they remember it, the subordinates will also help the owner try to open the passage all the way!" ”

Regarding Qian Heng's obsession with the Silk Road, Xu Jian knows better than others that having enough wealth is the foundation for doing everything well. Therefore, when the Silk Road is reopened, Xu Qian can also understand the deep meaning.

"So it's hard work!"

Liu Zhengyan also said, "Mr. Xu has helped me a lot, and then, it is time for my subordinates to assist Mr. Xu, if I can go to the border of the Tibetan tribes, I can also try to contact the Uighur merchants first!" ”

Qian Heng nodded, and it was considered to have finalized the affairs of the Tubo Ministries.

The strategy was agreed, and when Xu Jian and Liu Zhengyan left Yongle City, it was already midsummer in July, and at this time, the pasture was fertile, and it was a good time to graze the border.

Yang Zaixing in the north also came with news and stationed on the edge of the Wuthorn Sea. and forms a fixed grazing area. Even, where to start building a new city.

Moreover, Yang Zaixing also sent a news that Dong Qing had arranged for someone in Xingqing Mansion to send An Boshang's family members to Yang Zaixing through channels. In addition, the letter mentioned that An Boshang's family members were temporarily settled there because they were afraid of Zhao Song.

After getting the news, An Boshang, who had already taken refuge in Qian Heng, was very happy.

"Lord Qian, if you don't dislike the identity of the rebel, Beauchamp is willing to be the adult's general and escort the adult's business!"

Qian Heng laughed, "Of course, you are welcome, with General An sitting in the Vultures Sea, it can also solve the weakness of Zaixing's lack of troops!" ”

An Boshang has completely become Qian Heng's general, because he missed his family, he didn't stay long, took hundreds of soldiers and horses, and rushed all the way to the Vulture Sea.

Just when Qian Heng was proud, he was in the Bianjing court, and once again he was in trouble.

All because the letter of state of Western Xia was sent to the court of the Great Song Dynasty, especially Zhao Ji's silence after seeing the letter of state, which made all the ministers in the court more and more anxious.

In the court, Zhao Ji sat in a high position and didn't say a word.

The old Cai Jing, who hadn't shown up for a long time, sat down tremblingly, and his eyes couldn't stop sweeping over the prime ministers.

This kind of major event involving diplomatic relations with Xixia will naturally not involve other officials, and everyone present has the right to suggest this matter, except for Zhang Shuye, who is new to the court.

Since Zhang Shuye entered the court, he was given the official position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and was given the status of a privy councilor. As a deputy of the Privy Council, he has the qualifications of a deputy minister, and it is naturally not an exaggeration to rank in the court, especially since Zhang Shuye joined, he has never spoken, and he fully shows a posture that only knows how to do things.

It is precisely because of this that no matter what position the people present are, they will not have any thoughts of rejection of Zhang Shuye, and they are even secretly wooing Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye also got Qian Heng's instructions, and even with Zhang Shuye's current situation, he would not easily fall to either side, but just relied on various excuses to deal with the olive branches of your ministers.

Now hearing the letter of state handed over by the envoy of Xixia, Zhang Shuye was also shocked in his heart, he knew too well what kind of person Qian Heng was. It was precisely because of his understanding that Uncle Zhang was a little surprised, Qian Heng dared to make such a strong gesture, which also made Uncle Zhang's mind sink.

What would make Qian Heng so risky, could it be that the situation was even worse than he had imagined before?

Uncle Zhang stood there silently with a little worry, listening to the arguments of several ministers in the court.

Bai Shizhong naturally wouldn't give Qian Heng any good looks, so when he spoke, he directly put all the blame on Qian Heng.

"Official, this Qian Heng is bold and reckless, and he will cause trouble for my Great Song Dynasty, especially without the decree of the Privy Council and the will of the official, he will use soldiers and horses privately, which is really rebellious!"

As soon as Bai Shizhong said this, Zheng Juzhong, who was the leader of the Privy Council, also stepped forward and kowtowed, "The official family, indeed as Meng Heng said, this Qian Heng is really too reckless, the official family has no will to issue, so he uses military horses privately, especially when it involves major matters related to the political relations between the two countries, Qian Heng must not be easily let go, the minister thinks that Qian Heng should be transferred back to Bianjing and interrogated harshly!" ”

Tong Guan, who has returned to Beijing, is even more indignant.

"Official, this Qian Heng is beheading, the official family has issued an order, the minister is willing to go to the Suide Army to personally arrest Qian Heng!"

After a few words, Qian Heng was directly convicted.

Only Wang Huang stood there and said nothing.

At this time, Zhao Ji, who had been squinting his eyes slightly, suddenly opened his eyes, "Who told you that Qian Heng sent troops without a will?" ”

Zhao Ji said a word, and all the people who seconded the proposal to punish Qian Heng were stunned.

Tong Guan was even more surprised, "The official family, the minister is in charge of the Privy Council, why didn't he see the will of the official family?" ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Tong Guan, ignored Tong Guan's inquiry, and instead diverted the topic, "Let me ask you, if there are Western Xia soldiers who will invade my Great Song border, how should our border army deal with it?" ”

Zhao Ji's question made everyone fall into deep thought, and even Tong Guan felt a little that Zhao Ji was a little wrong today.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhao Jicai said again, "As far as I know, Qian Heng's trip to the Suide army is the border army stationed on the border, and his military horses encounter the Western Xia military horses, if they don't fight back, how can they defeat the other party?" ”

"But the news that the minister got was Qian Heng who took the initiative to attack the garrison of the Western Xia Military Division?"

Zhao Ji suddenly laughed, "The place where the Western Xia garrison was originally the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, Qian Heng just took it back for me, so what's the matter?" ”

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, Tong Guan's face changed.

"However, the minister thinks that in this way, it is really inappropriate to provoke the anger of the Western Xia, if the Western Xia soldiers and horses attack my Great Song again, what should we do?"

In Zhao Ji's eyes, looking at Tong Guan, there was a little more fierceness, "Since it was Qian Heng who caused the trouble, it was naturally up to him to solve it!" ”
