Hu Bufan committed suicide in fear of crime, Ma Hong took office and immediately assisted the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to investigate the household officials.

Chu Huan thought that this storm would definitely sweep the government and the opposition, and the momentum was huge, but unexpectedly, although the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple hit hard, the scope of the attack was much smaller than expected, and the main scope was concentrated in the household department, I heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple had officials sent to the local area to investigate, but when they left, they were all quiet, and the movement was very small, this storm was not as earth-shaking as Chu Huan expected, although dozens of household officials, including Dou Yi, were involved and entered the Dali Temple prison, But some of the names that Chu Huan saw on the roster seemed to be safe and sound, and they were not involved.

Chu Huan didn't know why this was the case.

According to common sense, if the princelings seize the ledger, they will definitely not show mercy, and they will spare no effort to bring down one more Han Wang party, but the facts show that the princelings seem to be merciful.

Chu Huan couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while.

Lang Wuxu obviously left a back hand in that account book, this time he thoroughly investigated the officials, he really was not involved, although the officials of Dali Temple looked for Lang Wuxu several times, but this guy was safe and sound in the end.

This kind of person really has a back hand for every step he takes, and Chu Huan also knows that this kind of person is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, and he must always be careful.

The Red and Silver Book Incident is still going on, but the people in Beijing are not paying more attention to this matter, but to the Xiliang Mission.

The Western Liang army is still in the northwest, and there are still several states in the northwest Xiguan Road occupied under the iron cavalry of the Western Liang people, which is undoubtedly a shame and a threat to the Qin people.

Although Yu Buqu had regrouped his forces and built a defensive line in the northwest, and the Western Liang people did not advance for the time being, no one dared to guarantee that the Western Liang people would not continue to attack, let alone guarantee that the Northwest Army under Yu Buqu could still stop the Western Liang people.

At the beginning of the battle for hegemony, the Xiliang people took the opportunity to repeatedly enter the plain, burning, killing and looting, after the founding of the country, the Great Qin Iron Cavalry guarded the Yanmen Pass, the general of the protector sat in the northwest, the Xiliang people were repulsed several times, since then the northwest has also settled down, but the Qin people are very hostile to the Xiliang people in their bones, in the eyes of the Qin people, the Xiliang people are beasts that drink blood, cruel by nature, burning, killing, lewdness and plunder.

In the northwest region, it was deeply affected by the Xiliang people, and it was even once spread that the Xiliang people ate human flesh and were extremely cruel, so the Qin people hated and hated the Xiliang people, but they were afraid of the Xiliang people.

Feng Hanxiao and his thirteen Taibao were assassinated by the Xiliang people, this matter has long been known to the Great Qin Empire, and after Feng Hanxiao died, the Xiliang people immediately waved 100,000 iron cavalry, invaded the Qin realm, broke the Yanmen, attacked the northwest, the northwest army was defeated again and again, and the Western Liang iron cavalry was invincible, for a while, the Qin people were panicked, and the people were panicked.

It's just that no one thought that when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was in the prime of the army, it suddenly stopped, and then the news came that the Xiliang people actually took the initiative to ask for peace.

It was a real surprise.

The Xiliang delegation came to Beijing, and the people in the capital were naturally very concerned, and the imperial court had already released rumors, and this peace was proposed by the Xiliang people, which in people's eyes was a sign of weakness.

The Xiliang mission did not let the people in the capital wait too long, and even arrived in the capital earlier than expected, and got the news that the envoy of the Xiliang mission this time was the prince of the Xiliang Kingdom, which also shows that the Xiliang Kingdom attaches great importance to this peace talks.

It has been 18 years since the founding of the Great Qin, but it is very rare for a real foreign country to come to Beijing.

Except for the Goryeo Kingdom in the northeast, which has already declared itself a vassal to Great Qin and will send envoys to worship every year, only those barbarian tribes in Mobei occasionally send people to come and pay respects.

There is no country for the barbarians, and the tribes are fighting each other, and the barbarian leaders who come to worship this year may be killed in battle or unable to come next year because of the war.

There are dozens of countries in the Western Regions, large and small, and they have also come from the original, but after the Western Liang Kingdom became strong, it became a roadblock, and the countries of the Western Regions became the vassal states of the Western Liang Kingdom, and the Western Liang Kingdom has never shown goodwill to the original dynasty since its founding, and the countries of the Western Regions cannot be friendly with the original kingdom.

The arrival of the Xiliang mission, in addition to the Goryeo Kingdom, the second real country to come to the capital, which naturally attracted the attention of the people of Beijing, when people learned that the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites officials had gone out of the city to greet them, the streets of Luo'an Capital were already crowded, and they ran to the street to watch the arrival of the Xiliang mission.

After the Xiliang delegation entered the northwest territory, in order to ensure the safety of this mission, Yu Buqu, the general of Dingguo, sent 500 elite soldiers to escort them along the way.

Yu Buqu understands that the Northwest Army does not seem to be weaker than the Western Liang people in terms of strength, but the combat effectiveness is very different, since the Western Liang people broke through Yanmen, even the battle success, the morale of the Northwest Army has suffered a huge blow, and it is extremely difficult to restore the fighting spirit of the Northwest Army in a short period of time.

As long as the two sides negotiate peace and spare enough time, Yu is confident that he will be able to retrain the Northwest Army into a steel lion.

The Xiliang delegation came this time, but there were only two hundred people, but all of them were real warriors of the Xiliang Kingdom.

The big gong opened the way, the Northwest Army escorted by the royal guards out of the city in rotation of 500 people, the guards were protected all around, the armor was distinct, the swords and guns were cold, and the Xiliang mission was all riding vigorous Xiliang horses, wearing leather felt hats, when April, the weather was getting warmer, these Xiliang people were still leather armor on their upper bodies, with wolf skin girdles around their waists, leather boots on their feet, and their waists were hung with scimitars unique to the Xiliang people.

There were many people on both sides of the street, and the knights of Xiliang did not look left and right, all of them were expressionless and looked well-trained.

Like a long snake, the team meandered from the streets of the capital to the newly completed Tongren Pavilion.

Tongrenguan has long been heavily guarded, transferred from the palace to guard the elite guards, the envoy of the Xiliang mission is the prince of Xiliang, his identity is not ordinary, on the ground in the capital, he naturally has to try his best to ensure his safety.

Although the Western Liang State is taking the initiative to seek peace, but this peace negotiation is also undesirable for Daqin, and now Daqin is in internal trouble, and the people are in turmoil everywhere, especially the war in Jianghuai Province is blazing, and the ghost of the Qingtian King in Hebei Province is not gone, and the treasury has been quite difficult to deal with internal strife.

The court naturally understands the importance of reaching a peace agreement with the Xiliang people, the prince of Xiliang has a noble status, and naturally wants to do his best to protect his personal safety.

The Xiliang mission rested in the Tongren Pavilion, and the inside and outside were tightly protected.

If it weren't for the fact that the domestic war was raging, the Great Qin Dynasty would inevitably delay for a while, making the Xiliang delegation wait for a while to suppress their spirit.

However, in the current situation, for Daqin, if a peace agreement can be reached sooner, the northwest will naturally be peaceful one day sooner.

As for the Ministry of Rites, before the Xiliang delegation arrived in Beijing, it began to prepare for peace talks in accordance with the meaning of the letter from the door.

It is naturally easy to talk about peace talks, but when it is about to be discussed, it is naturally a very complicated matter, and there are too many things involved, and a series of issues such as soldiers, horses, money, food, land, and personnel must be negotiated, and before peace talks, the first thing to do must be to make the most appropriate position for oneself.

Although the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for specific negotiation matters at that time, it is of course the Ministry of Men who make suggestions behind the scenes.

It stands to reason that the Western Liang army is victorious, is in an advantageous situation to propose peace, in this situation, Daqin should make a low profile, in the peace talks to be at a disadvantage, but the important ministers of the court also carefully analyzed, the Western Liang people won but did not advance, but when the army was in its prime, but abruptly stopped the army to propose peace, this can be said to be a great violation of common sense, these important ministers are cautious people, some people have speculated that there must be a big problem within the Western Liang State.

Some people say that in order to smooth the peace talks, let the Western Liang army withdraw as soon as possible, put on a low posture as much as possible, and reach a peace agreement as soon as possible, but there are still some people who insist on making peace with the Western Liang with a high profile.

However, the basic principles of the peace talks have already been determined a long time ago, and the first point is that the 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry stationed in the northwest Xiguan Road must retreat outside the Guan, and this is the first point of the peace talks, and it is also a prerequisite for the peace talks.

Although the Northwest Army has been defeated and retreated, but now Yu Buqu has temporarily stabilized the situation in the northwest, and the imperial court has also quickly transported a large number of materials from the inside to the outside of the Guan, Xu Congyang, a former scholar of the Imperial History Hall of the Imperial Palace, is now stationed in Xishan Road, Xishan Road is the only way to transport materials, Xu Congyang sits in Xishan Road, personally ensures the smooth flow of the transmission line, although the Great Qin Empire is in trouble, but after all, the land is vast and rich, and the Xiliang people may not be able to hold on to it for a long time.

Although Xiliang occupies the Xiguan Road and controls the Yanmen Pass, but now there is a shortage of food, and the transportation of materials from Xiliang itself has to pass through the vast Jingulan Desert, the material delivery conditions are very difficult, the two sides are in a stalemate, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, since the Xiliang people have taken the initiative to negotiate peace, then Daqin naturally cannot have the slightest concession on the land issue.

If the land is forcibly occupied by the Xiliang people under his rule, it is undoubtedly a big slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor, and his Majesty the Emperor is of course unwilling to mention the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty in later generations, and will lose face because the Xiliang people occupy Xiguan.

Therefore, the negotiation position of the imperial court is also very clear, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry withdraws from the Guanwai, and the others are easy to discuss.
