After Emperor Wei Ming put Quan Dou in prison, he did not let Hidden Dragon lead the troops to defend against the enemy, but appointed Qu Gai, the commander of Jiumen, as the general, and led tens of thousands of troops in the city to defend the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three-day deadline given by Kim Jong-lei to Quan Doo has not yet arrived, so Chen's army has not yet attacked the city, and Qu Gai's three days as a general are considered safe.

Time passed minute by minute, and the deadline given by Kim Jong-lei was getting closer and closer, and there was less than half a day left.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty hung their heads, sighed, and were at a loss and had no ideas.

Emperor Wei Ming was worried, restless, from time to time from the top of the imperial steps to the bottom of the imperial steps, and from time to time from under the imperial steps back to the top of the imperial steps, scratching his ears and cheeks, and sighing for a long time.

He turned his back to the civil and military ministers in the main hall, and raised his eyes to look at the nine dragon wall behind the dragon chair, and the nine dragon wall was engraved with eight big characters in italics: Yu Wei Jiangshan, both longevity and Yongchang. At this moment, these eight big characters seemed to look at him, the helpless emperor, with a little mockery.

Emperor Wei Ming looked blankly at the Nine Dragon Wall, and all the ministers hung their heads and remained silent.

There was silence in the hall, as if everyone was holding their breath, and even the fallen leaves outside the hall could hear the sermon clearly.

After a while, Emperor Wei Ming turned his back to the ministers and said with a cry: "Your family, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. You usually enjoy a lot of money as a high-ranking official, but now Chen Guobing is coming to the city, and the national disaster is at the head, you have to solve my worries! ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to suggest that General Quan Dou be released and let him negotiate with Kim Jong-lei. After all, he is more familiar with Kim Jong-lei. A minister walked out of his shift, knelt down in front of the imperial steps, and spoke cautiously.

Emperor Wei Ming turned around abruptly, stretched out his hand to point at the minister, and shouted, "Release Quan Dou? What do you mean to tie me up and give it to Kim Jong Lei? ”

The minister was so frightened that he fell to his knees, kowtowed, and said, "Wechen doesn't dare." That's not what Wechen meant! ”

In the past two days, Taifu Fei took sick leave and did not come to the court. The first civil official naturally took the turn of Xiangguo Yuan to stand, and he was in the lead, at the top, with a look of vigour.

At this time, You An stepped forward, bowed to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, Kim Jong-lei's ultimatum cannot be left out, nor can it be done in full. He paused, and seeing that the emperor did not react, he continued, "Fei served as a year leave to pass on the holy decree and killed General Kim Guoan's entire family without permission, causing Kim Zhenglei to raise troops to attack today. Now, if he is tied up to ask Kim Jong-lei for his guilt, it will not be an exaggeration. As for the emperor... ”

Before You An's words were finished, the emperor glared at You An with his eyes and said angrily: "You also want to tie me up and give it to Jin Zhenglei?" ”

You An hurriedly fell to his knees, kowtowed, and said in fear: "Weichen didn't mean that." The emperor is the lord of a country, with a body of ten thousand gold, how can he say that he is tied up! ”

When the emperor heard this, his face softened slightly, he took the dragon robe in his hand, sat down on the dragon chair, and asked slowly: "You don't mean that, what do you mean?" ”

You An raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and propped himself up with both hands, "Your Majesty, Weichen means to negotiate peace with Kim Zhenglei. ”

"Peace?" The emperor snorted and said in disbelief, "Can Kim Jong-lei agree to peace?" He wants my life. If he is not tied up, can Kim Jong-lei withdraw from the army? ”

Youan stretched out one hand and put it on his chest, and then stretched out another hand, put it in front of his forehead, and said while gesturing: "Your Majesty, although Kim Jong-lei intends to take revenge. But there is still Emperor Chen Guo above him, and it is impossible for him Jin Zhenglei to go his own way. ”

Emperor Wei Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he quickly turned gloomy, and he sighed and said: "It's a pity that Emperor Chen is more than 2,000 miles away from this, and the deadline given by Jin Zhenglei is less than a day. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near. ”

You An straightened up and said with a slight smile: "Although Emperor Chen is far away, he has a representative in the barracks." ”

"Deputy?" The emperor frowned, as if he didn't understand.

You An smiled and said, "Yes, isn't the prison army the representative of the emperor?" It is said that Chen Yingjian was strictly involved in Kim Jong-lei's opinions. If we put forward enough attractive conditions to impress Yan Shen, if Yan Shen agrees to the peace talks, Kim Jong-lei will not be able to strongly oppose it. After all, Yan Shen is supervising the army on behalf of the emperor. ”

The emperor leaned forward and asked patiently: "Then in You Qing's opinion, what kind of conditions are enough to impress Yan Shen?" ”

You An said without thinking: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the conditions for peace negotiation are nothing more than land cession and indemnity. Let's first put forward enough attractive conditions for peace, and then send more gold and silver to Yan Shen's private person, I think it is still possible to negotiate peace. ”

The emperor pondered for a long time, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Then you say, how much land should we cut and how much should we pay?" ”

Youan lowered his head and thought about it, stretched out three fingers, and said, "In the opinion of Weichen, I first proposed to cut three counties and pay 10 million taels of silver." Sent out one million taels of ginseng. ”

The emperor stood up from the dragon chair again, paced two steps on the imperial steps, and looked back at You'an, "It's no problem to cut the land." The most important thing to defend the country is land, not to mention cutting three counties, that is, cutting ten counties, there is nothing difficult to do. Just the reparation, it is a little difficult to do. In the past two years, the treasury has been empty, and it is difficult to come up with five million taels of silver, so where can we take out more than 10 million taels of silver at one time? ”

You An slowly stood up from the ground, and said confidently: "Don't worry, the emperor. Although the treasury could not take out more than 10 million taels of silver. But Simon can take it! ”

The emperor squinted slightly, looked down at You'an, and asked puzzledly, "Ximen firm?" What Simon Firm? ”

You An said step by step: "Does the emperor still remember Ming Zhugong?" Ming Zhu Gong turned out to be the richest man in the world, and his family had a mountain of money, but that money was eventually embezzled by his chief treasurer Ximen Liu. Now Ximen Liu has replaced Ming Zhu Gong as the new richest man in the world. What Simon Liu got was ill-gotten gains. The emperor casually issued a decree to let Ximen Firm repay 11 million taels of silver, but did he dare to take it out? ”

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly realized, and Mingyu's beautiful face appeared in his mind again, and he sighed: "I remember." It was the same Ximen Liu who explained to me that Zhu Gong was collaborating with the enemy, and I wanted to kill Ming Zhu Gong and Ming Yu. Mingyu's girl must be hating me to death now. After a pause, he bowed to You An and said, "You Aiqing, your suggestion is very good!" Let the Ximen firm repay 11 million taels of silver, which can not only relieve the country's difficulties, but also give Mingyu's girl a breath, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Emperor Shengming, what you see is extremely true!" With a smile on his face, You An shook his head and analyzed while holding his short beard under his chin: "We tied Fei Chong and handed it over to Kim Zhenglei, which can alleviate the hatred in his heart." We have ceded the land and paid compensation, and the prison army will definitely agree to negotiate peace. If Yan Shen is in favor of peace, Kim Jong-lei will not be able to oppose it. If their opinions are temporarily unified, they will definitely send someone to Chen Guo to ask Emperor Chen Guo, and it will take a lot of time to go this way. ”

The emperor listened, Long Yan was happy, he straightened his dragon robe, sat upright on the dragon chair, his face returned to his former demeanor, and his mouth was in a loud voice: "The general Qu Gai led the forbidden soldiers to the Taifu Mansion to arrest Fei Chong; Xiangguo You'an went to Ximen to withdraw 11 million taels of silver. Chin this! ”

Qu Gai also walked out of class quickly, stood side by side with You'an, bowed to the emperor, and promised in unison: "Yes!" Emperor! ”

The two received the decree, turned their heads and smiled, and then walked out of the court side by side, and then went their separate ways. (To be continued.) )
