Although there is the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River, the temperature is getting colder every year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But now, in May and June, the whole Shanhaiguan has begun to dye some green, and people have begun to run out of their kang heads to start a year's production.

With Zhu Youxiao's explicit decree to allow trade inside and outside the customs, and a peace agreement was reached with the Tartars, there were more caravans leaving the customs this year than in previous years.

At this time, the king of Liaodong Jingluo also came to the outside of Shanhaiguan in Jin, and set up a banquet at the ten-mile long pavilion.

And Wang Zaijin wants to send it this time, naturally, Liu Zongzhou, who is going to send an envoy to the Tartars and stay in the Tartars for a long time, and Liu Zongzhou, the envoy of the Qingzheng Dynasty, is also accompanied by Shi Kefa, who serves as the deputy envoy in the middle of the household.

Although these two people do not like Zhu Youxiao, they are extremely prestigious people in the hearts of many officials, and in the eyes of these officials, these two people are the model of Ming officials.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zaijin, one of the five great feudal officials in the world, also had to take the time to come to entertain him.

"Persuade you to have a glass of wine, there is no one in Yangguan in the west, and now although I have reached a reconciliation with the Tartars, everyone in the world knows that this is just a delaying tactic, and the two of them are only afraid that they will be more auspicious."

After Wang Zaijin recited a sentence of Wang Wei's "Sending Yuan Er Envoy Anxi", he personally poured wine for Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa.

Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa were also bitter and did not say a word, because Wang Zaijin's official position was higher than them, so they saluted Wang Zaijin, and then raised his glass and swallowed a glass of spirits into his mouth.

Liu Zongzhou himself sighed directly: "Alas, I don't dare to hide anything from Wang Jing, the lower officials naturally know that it is difficult to return to their homeland this time, and they can only hate to suffer from the villain's plot, and this tone has been difficult to get rid of." ”

Hearing Liu Zongzhou say this, Shi Kefa looked at Liu Zongzhou without tears, if Liu Zongzhou was plotted by the villain, then he was appointed as a deputy envoy by His Majesty today without knowing what was going on.

Wang Zaijin saw that the two of them were depressed, and it was difficult to say anything more, and there were accompanying Jinyi guards standing next to him, and no one could say that His Majesty was not today.

Therefore, Wang Zaijin only had good words to persuade him: "The two don't have to be so pessimistic, the so-called thunder and rain are all Jun's grace, whether it is a villain plot or His Majesty's intention, the two of them are out of the customs this time, and they should be loyal and conscientious for my Ming Dynasty, and now I have more and more businessmen out of the Ming Dynasty, and some lawbreakers take the opportunity to take advantage of the robbery or do other things that are not conducive to the Ming Dynasty, and it all depends on the two of them. ”

Since Wang Zaijin was so persuasive, Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa had no choice but to follow up with some bold words, and reluctantly kowtowed in the direction of the Forbidden City in the north before they left the pass.

As soon as he got out of Shanhaiguan, he entered the territory of Wu Xiang, which is now the king of Liao.

Now Wu Xiang didn't dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty, after all, his Guanning army was not as good as the Tartars, and he used to rely on the food and salary of the Ming Dynasty to have some combat effectiveness, and now he is in charge of his own independence, life is naturally sad, many soldiers have returned to the role of peasants again, and other soldiers who are still serving as soldiers to eat food are not as dare to fight as before, because now even if they kill a few Tartars, there will be no more reward.

And they didn't dare to enter the customs directly to loot like the Tartars, and it was Man Gui who was almost put by Wu Xiang's department to guard the Shanhaiguan.

In this way, Wu Xiangbu can only bow down to Daming, and even he wants to return to the days when he was only a general soldier in Daming, although it doesn't sound as good as the current identity of the Liao King, but at least there is still silver to be greedy for every month, and now it is his turn to be the master of the house, and he can only drink the northwest wind.

Therefore, when Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa entered the boundary of Wuxiang, the Guan Ningjun of Wuxiang did not dare to be embarrassed, and even his son Wu Sangui personally went out of Jinzhou City to set up a banquet to send Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa.

"The two gentlemen came from afar, Xiao Wang treated each other with a little wine, and asked the two of them not to dislike it", Wu Sangui made a polite and virtuous corporal gesture and saluted the two.

Although Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa are stubborn, they are not stupid, they know what the origin of this prince of Liao who was enshrined by His Majesty, and they also understand His Majesty's attitude towards the person in front of him.

So the two of them didn't have much enthusiasm, and arched their hands towards Wu Sangui with indifferent expressions, and then brushed their sleeves away.

Wu Sangui and the others had such an attitude, although they gritted their teeth with hatred, but they had to immediately run forward and stop Liu Zongzong and Shi Kefa: "Two gentlemen, please stay, the little nephew knows that he is a martial artist who can't get on the high platform, and he is not worthy of pouring wine in front of the two gentlemen, but the little nephew does have a big thing to ask the two gentlemen, and I hope that the two gentlemen will help the little nephew for the sake of our fellow ministers of the Ming Dynasty." ”

As he spoke, Wu Sangui glanced left and right, and suddenly two rows of people appeared in front of and behind the road.

Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa were both shocked when they saw this, and Liu Zongzhou did not call His Royal Highness the prince of Wu Sangui, but called him by his name and asked, "Wu Sangui, what do you mean by this!" In addition, this official reminds you that Your Majesty has already made a clear decree, you are no longer my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you are just a foreign vassal, so if you dare to be disrespectful to my ministers in the court, he will blame me for being polite! ”

Wu Sangui didn't immediately answer Liu Zongzhou's words, and shouted directly: "Lift up!" Then he saw two boxes of silver shining silver being carried up.

"The little nephew has no intention of kidnapping the two gentlemen, and now the Tartars are attacking my Daling River area very fiercely, the little nephew just wants to ask the two gentlemen to go to the Tartar Department to intercede for us, my father can dedicate the land of the Daling River, but please the emperor of the Qing Dynasty can also reach a peace agreement with us, and also ask the two gentlemen to write a letter to the Liaodong Jingluo Wang Inspector, hoping that the Wang Inspector can also reopen trade with us, after all, we are also closer to the Tartars, and these two boxes of silver are a thank you gift to the two gentlemen."

Liu Zongzhou understood the meaning of Wu Sangui, and dared to let himself and Shi Kefa be an intermediary, and persuade the Tartars to be with him Wu Xiang.

"Yes", Liu Zongzhou agreed to Wu Sangui's request and went out of Jinzhou City smoothly.

As soon as he got out of Jinzhou City, Shi Kefa couldn't help but pull Liu Zongzhou and asked: "Liu Zhengzhi, the lower officials dare to ask, why did you accept the silver of this rebel thief, and promised him to go and talk about the Tartars, if Your Majesty knows, you and I must not cut off your head and mine, but I am afraid that now these Jinyi guards have begun to prepare to pass on the news to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to cut it." ”

Liu Zongzhou couldn't help but smile and said: "If I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Jinzhou City, the countless unjust souls in the Yongping area back then are still there, and he Wu Xiangbu don't think that we have forgotten about it." ”

Liu Zongzhou said, and saw a cavalry running in front of him, and when he looked at the money rat tail behind his head, he knew that it was a Tartar, and the leader was Bolo, the son of the Tartar Bel Abatai.

Although the executioner who later single-handedly created the Jiangyin Massacre looked only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time, he already had a bit of a arrogant appearance, and when he came to Liu Zongzhou and others, he did not dismount, threw off his whip and pointed at Liu Zongzhou and asked: "You are the Ming dog who came to my Qing Dynasty as an envoy?" ”

"No, I'm here to discipline and discipline his disobedient son for His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and of course these servants of his who don't understand the rules."
