The matter of Yang Fan's entry into the city spread all over the city for a while. And the identity of the Mongolian envoy brought a touch of mystery to this entry into the city.

At the same time, a cold rain in early spring began to fall.

Zhou Yanru drank tea, sat in the Wenyuan Pavilion of the outer palace, holding the ticket in his hand, I don't know if at this time, I asked the eunuch to pass it to the saint. This is about the Spring Festival. If it is agreed, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites immediately. This year's harvest is likely to change the situation of food shortage because of the potatoes and golden potatoes that are still lying in the granary and sprouting in the stove.

And at this time, Yang Fan came. It's a bit out of place, at least that's what Zhou Yanru thinks in his heart. Without Yang Fan, the court was running like that, and as soon as Yang Fan came, he and Zhu Youzhen were faintly separated by a screen window, and it seemed that Yang Fan had to be let go.

Bang!

The door of Wenyuan Pavilion was knocked lightly.

"Bachelor Zhou. Me, a high diver. ”

"Father-in-law Gao?"

"Today's ticket, I don't know if it can be circulated on the saint?"

Zhou Yanru suddenly said, "Sit on the side of Gao Gongkien." ”

In the imperial court, the cabinet has the right to vote, and the celebrant has the right to approve Zhu, which is a dual-track system of internal and external dimensions. However, the peculiarities of the status of the two sides made it difficult for the cabinet to compete with the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies, and the size of the power of the two sides was proportional to each other by the transfer of the emperor's back, so there could be no real mutual maintenance between them, but only a fierce struggle for power.

Now, although Zhu Youzhen has withdrawn the power of the celebrant to approve the red and personally read it himself, Gao Qian is his trusted confidant, and Zhou Yanru does not dare to be disrespectful to him.

"Alas. As soon as Yang Fan came back. On this day, I have to clamp my tail and be a man again. Gao Qian glanced at Zhou Yanru. Said matter-of-factly.

"Huh. Gao Gonggong, not really. The Holy One is wise and assertive. Is this likely to make Yang Fan behave recklessly? ”

"It's not that Bachelor Zhou hasn't heard of it, this Dean Yang has made great contributions in Huguang, and I heard that he personally killed Sun Dasheng, the leader of the 30,000 rebel army, and this tax reform can be done smoothly, Bachelor Zhou, you and I, as well as the saint, are very clear in their hearts, and half of the credit is Yang Fan's. We're just working for others. ”

Zhou Yanru drank tea silently. Indeed, there is no foreshadowing made by Yang Fan's news agency and the front. There's nothing to do next. I believe that Zhu Youzhen and Zhou Yanru, and even many people in the court have a bright heart. also put this account on Yang Fan's head.

"Then what do I say?"

Gao Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "Yang Fan's entry into Beijing this time is not the capital on the order. I was in Huguang half a month ago, and I had just arrived in Beijing, and I knew that he had not received the order to go to Beijing. This. He actually entered Beijing as a Mongolian envoy, and there is an article to do. "The news of Gao Qian is much better than Zhou Yanru, and what happened at the gate of the city quickly reached his ears.

"Mongolian envoys? How did you get involved with Mongolia? ”

High Diver shook his head. "Who knows." However, he dared to arrive in Beijing as a Mongolian envoy, indicating that he still had something to do with the Mongols, so let's see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. ”

"He had a relationship with the Mongols. It's all self-inflicted. If he was involved with those who took refuge in Hou Jin Jiannu in Mo Nan, then the saint probably wouldn't trust him so much. ”

Gao Di nodded. "That's right, this one. We need to use it well. It is impossible for Yang Fan to enter the cabinet to receive the ministers, and it is impossible for him to be in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and if he uses it well, it is a sharp weapon for us to deal with the hundreds of officials in the outer court. ”

Zhou Yanru nodded and said, "This rain is really timely." ”

……

……

A light rain was dripping, soaking the old trees that were about to bud. Horse-drawn carriages clattered down the street. The first to arrive at the inn was not Sun Chengzong, nor Zhou Yanru, but Li Dao and his son.

Jingshi is such a place, no one cares when it falls, and there will be people who hold it when it rises. Without him, people's hearts are like this. Li Dao knew that he had done something unkind at the beginning, so he exchanged a few words with Yang Fan and left. said that he was entangled in official business, but in fact he was not, but hurried to Sun's mansion.

Sun Chengzong returned to Beijing this time, but he did not receive any real power, nor did he enter the cabinet. has always entered the palace to participate in government affairs with the title of Taifu, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Sun Chengzong is reused.

Originally, there were two voices in the Jingshi, one was to seek peace with Liaodong, and the other was to fight the main battle. After Sun Chengzong retreated to Ningyuan, firstly, there were non-stop riots in the country, and secondly, after the battle of the Daling River, although there was no major movement between the two sides, small collisions still existed. Southern Liaoning is the main disputed area. However, Da Ming did not have much to take advantage of. Later, Liaonan was annexed. The peace-seeking faction in the DPRK and China has sprouted again. It is advocated that the east and west of the Daling River should be bounded, and the left and right should be divided and ruled without violation.

Zhu Youzhen also approved this discussion. After all, after the First Battle of Dalinghe, the fall of southern Liaoning was another big blow to the Ming Dynasty. However, the Houjin side proposed that it was okay to negotiate peace, and it was necessary to give up the two cities of Dalinghe and Jinzhou. Naturally, there was some sense of shame of cutting land and seeking peace, which made Zhu Youzhen hesitate to make a decision. A month ago, Huang Taiji ascended the throne, which made him even more annoyed. Called Khan, he can still bear it, but the emperor is the emperor, that means to compete with himself for the world, can he still bear it?

As a result, the Yihe faction immediately lost its voice, and the so-called Southern Song Dynasty learned from the mainstream of the negotiation and mourning of the country. It's just that the face is too bad to go, and there is no pretense for negotiating the conditions.

If you don't negotiate peace, then let's fight. But Monan and Liaonan have all been annexed, and there are internal and external troubles, what conditions are there to build slaves? The reason why no one proposed to recover southern Liaoning and pacify Shenyang is that anyone with a discerning eye knows it and can't move. brought it up, that is, to slap Zhu Youzhen in the face nakedly. Therefore, the matter of Huang Taiji being called the emperor was kept silent in the imperial court and avoided talking about it.

Summoning Sun Chengzong back to Beijing is Zhu Youzhen's obscure attitude. Sum, we don't do it. Sun Chengzong is naturally the main battle, but he is in charge of serving Beijing, which means that he does not take the initiative to fight, if you want to fight me, then kill you. If you're fine west of the Daling River, it's a stalemate.

This is the current state of the imperial court.

But it's okay, Huang Taiji doesn't dare to venture south at the moment, and is ready to solve the threat of the left and right wings first, for Da Ming, this is not a few years of respite and relaxation, but a countdown to slow death.

Li Yuhuan stood respectfully behind Yang Fan, the drizzle was continuous, the window was open, Yang Fan stood in front of the window, the rain was caressed, and it condensed into small beads at the tip of his hair. Yang Fan was not surprised by Li Yuhuan's appearance in the capital, but was a little disappointed.

"After Mr. left the capital, Mr. Xingzhi and I continued to study on the third floor, until the end of the year, when my father's letter came, and I rushed back to Beijing." (To be continued......)
