When Cheng Yun proposed to send an envoy to the country of silk to sue for peace, Cui Jianjiang's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

To be sure, peace was a last resort, and even Choi Jianjiang, who was hated by his country and family, admitted in his heart that Goryeo must recuperate. The problem is that the person who made this suggestion is Chengyun, and the nature of the matter is completely different.

When Choi Jianjiang received the news that the entire line of Gangwon Province had been lost and General Myeong-yi had been killed in battle, he lost his mind for ten minutes. Mingyi was the Goryeo general he was optimistic about, and he originally expected this wise and brave general to take on the important task of revitalizing the Goryeo army, but he didn't expect the country of silk to completely surround Gangwon Province so quickly and swallow it in one gulp, and he didn't even have time to stretch out a rescue hand, even if it was only to save Mingyi alone.

Depressed, Cui Jianjiang also considered asking for surrender for a while, but ten days later, he completely changed this opinion, and the reason was Mingyi's return.

The news that Mingyi is still alive is extremely secretive, except for Cui Jianjiang himself and some cronies, all the other insiders have been detained and are not allowed to contact anyone. The reason is that Mingyi has brought him a secret - Chengyun and the country of silk have secretly joined forces.

Myeong-yi was able to break through the siege of the Silk Country and return to Goryeo, which experienced a lot of hardships and a lot of luck. With the help of a deserter from the Silk Country named He Jianyi, they managed to dive to the sea, using the current and a simple raft to drift to the Goryeo-controlled area, and then sneaked back to Xi'ou City. According to Mingyi, this astonishing secret was revealed by this deserter named He Jianyi, who originally doubted the credibility of this person. But under He Jianyi's suicide to prove his actions, Mingyi still believed his statement for the time being. Cui Jianjiang can see from the injury wrapped around He Jianyi's neck that what he said is true.

The result of the discussion between the monarch and the minister was that if Cheng Yun had indeed secretly joined forces with the Silk Country. Then he will make a proposal for peace to Choi Jianjiang shortly after learning the news of the loss of Gangwon Province and the death of Myeong-yi, and his attitude will be very resolute. If he can further find the **** order issued to him by Liu Yan, the emperor of the Silk Country, in his mansion. Then his guilt will be proved.

For this reason, Cui Jianjiang secretly made a careful arrangement, and it was seen as Chengyun's performance. So when Cheng Yun made these suggestions to him, it was not only expected by him, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little shocked, although he hated this person, he didn't waver too much in his loyalty.

"Cheng Aiqing, I understand that what you said makes a lot of sense. However, this move to sue for peace can be said to be difficult, and the country of silk has successively invaded a large area of our Goryeo land and slaughtered several members of the Goryeo royal family. Now they are of course anxious about fighting on two fronts and are tending to a temporary peace, but in the present situation of the war we are in an extremely unfavorable situation, and they are bound to put forward very harsh conditions to force us to accept. Judging by all indications, now is not a good time for peace talks. Cui Jianjiang said.

Cheng Yun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, on the surface, it is indeed not the best time now, but in fact, the sudden contract has caused a lot of pressure on the Silk Country, and they are no longer able to continue to wage war against our dynasty, which can be verified by the insufficient number of reinforcements they sent this time." Therefore, the minister believed that the defeat of Gangwon Province was a good time for them to accept peace talks, and they urgently needed a victory to save face. At the same time, they will be in a better position to negotiate peace talks, which is when they are most likely to accept peace talks. What we have to do is to take advantage of the establishment of the peace treaty to recuperate and regain our national strength, and wait until they are exhausted from fighting with the Turchem. We have a chance to reclaim our land again. ”

"Can the other party's request ······"

"Your Majesty, the Silk Country doesn't have much confidence, even if they make very harsh demands. We can also fight to minimize losses. Cheng Yun continued to lobby.

"If we can get some results before the peace talks. Wouldn't it be better to take the initiative in negotiations? ”

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon. Doing so will only further stimulate the hostility of the Silk Country, and the war will become endless. ”

"But Aiqing just said that they were oppressed by the Turks and could no longer continue to fight on two fronts, wouldn't dragging them into the quagmire of war more likely to bring down the Silk Country?"

Cheng Yun Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't know the advantages and disadvantages of doing this, but if they force the country of silk to such a situation, then it is very likely that they will turn to peace talks with Tuqi, and then go all out to deal with our country." Although the Turges will not stop invading the Silk Country, as long as the Silk Country can send 100,000 people out of the front line against the Turg, it may be a catastrophe for us. ”

Cui Jianjiang sighed and said, "It seems that Cheng Aiqing has made up her mind." Well, then I have made up my mind. ”

Cheng Yun said with a happy face: "Your Majesty Shengming, please ask Your Majesty to convene the ministers tomorrow to announce this matter, and the ministers will immediately start to do it." ”

"No, no, no, Cheng Aiqing will be mistaken," Cui Jianjiang waved his hand and said, "I mean that I am determined to let you meet someone." National teacher, please come out. ”

With Cui Jianjiang's call, Mingyi walked out from behind the screen. When Cheng Yun saw the righteousness, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Cui Jianjiang said: "Cheng Aiqing, as you can see, the national teacher did not die in Gangwon Province, and he also brought me interesting news, saying that you have joined forces with the Silk Country to put him to death in order to fully control the military power of the Goryeo Kingdom. Is there such a thing? ”

Cheng Yun was shocked by this sudden scene, and said again and again: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing, there is no such thing!" Your Majesty, please be aware of it. ”

Cui Jianjiang said lightly: "Cheng Aiqing doesn't need to be in a hurry to justify, I have already sent someone to search the house, which is right and wrong, and it will be decomposed when the time comes." ”

Cheng Yun was shocked when he heard this, it seems that Cui Jianjiang has long been ready to stop, it seems that he can only pray for God's blessing if he can avoid this catastrophe, and he can't find the secret edict.

More than three hours later, when the people sent by Cui Jianjiang came back to deliver the secret edict, Cheng Yun suddenly slumped in his chair. Cui Jianjiang looked relieved, took the secret edict and read it carefully, before saying to Cheng Yun: "Cheng Aiqing, it turns out that you have already been **** of treason by the country of silk, so you committed treason against my country again, right?" ”

Cheng Yun suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Your Majesty is clear, Your Majesty is clear!" The minister did not betray his country! The minister just left this edict! Minister······ It's just, it's just ······"

"Shut up!" Cui Jianjiang slapped the table and said angrily: "What are you!" You just want to leave yourself a way back! Even if you don't do anything, you're fornicating with the enemy! What's more, you still use the life of the national teacher as a condition for peace talks with the country of silk! Any one of them is enough to condemn you. Someone pushed this traitor out and beheaded him! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Yun jumped up and was about to flee outside the house, Mingyi's eyes were quick, and he had already jumped in front of him to block the way, and the guards rushed up and pressed Cheng Yun to the ground and tied him up.

"Your Majesty! This is the discord of the Silk Country! Your Majesty, don't be fooled! ”

"Get out there! Slashed! Cui Jianjiang slapped the table again and again and shouted.

The guards hurriedly escorted Cheng Yun out, and soon cut off his head and sent it to Cui Jianjiang.

"It's really a failure, Cheng Aiqing." Cui Jianjiang looked at Cheng Yun's head and said with a sneer. (To be continued.) )
