Pseudo-Shun this is really a sensitive place, it is said that it is the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, but it is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the enemy of the Manchu Dynasty, the enemy of the enemy is the ally, but the Pseudo-Shun is the culprit who forced the Ming Chongzhen Emperor to death, Huguang, Nanzhi, Jiangxi each one, Li Laixiang ascended the throne in Luzhou and called the emperor, the establishment of the founding of the country, its national body and the previous Li Zicheng Dashun is more different, almost completely imitated the Ming Dynasty system, if according to the Ming rebellion to receive does not seem right, from the current point of view, the pseudo-Shun and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably join forces to resist the Qing Dynasty, if according to the subject country to calculate, It's not right, Li Laixiang is already the emperor, and the Ming Emperor is on an equal footing, if you want to count it as a foreign country, it can't be done, the Ming Dynasty is **** on the country, and all other diplomatic relations can only come to the Ming Dynasty with the courtesy of the court, according to this, the envoy of the pseudo-Shun Dynasty should kneel to see.

How to receive this matter is really difficult for the sake of the university scholar Wang Ding, after weighing it again and again, he didn't make up his mind, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng was really right, and he didn't make a charter, so he didn't dare to ask.

Until the next morning, the obedient envoy Li Xin and his entourage were half-sent and half-escorted by Jinyiwei to the gate of the Hanlin Academy, and Wang Ding still did not make up his mind.

Waiting for a thousand years, but I didn't expect to wait for such a thankless errand to wait, the officials of the Hanlin Academy are not happy, worried or worried, just how to receive it will take a lot of effort.

The Jinyi guard who escorted the obedient envoy came in person by the commander Zhang Mingzhen, and the day was already high, but he still did not see the gate of the Hanlin Academy open, and Zhang Mingzhen was a little impatient.

"You, go knock on the door again, what door to close in broad daylight, I think this scholar Wang is old and confused" Wearing a four-clawed python robe, the majestic Zhang Mingzhen's face was displeased, and he didn't have to work so hard when he saw Prime Minister Wang. But he ate a closed door in front of a Qing Shui Yamen who had no power and no power.

"Yes," the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, dressed in a flying fish suit, carried an embroidered spring knife at his waist when he spoke, and the silver ring 'jingled'. Usually, as long as this kind of voice is heard in the private residence of a certain minister, it is estimated that the officials inside will not live long. Of course, the Jinyi guard never arrested people at will in the yamen of the imperial court, and the chief flag officer shook the silver bell on the handle of the knife at this time just to scare the people inside.

"Open the door and open the door, on the order of Prime Minister Wang, Jinyiwei will hand over the pseudo-obedient envoy to the Hanlin Academy, and someone will come out to answer"

The chief flag officer patted the vermilion gate and made a loud noise, and the dust was flying.

There were people inside the door, but no one answered, and no one dared to answer. There is a bunch of people on the steps seven or eight zhang away from the gate, at least more than ten people, the official uniforms on the body are purple in addition to the red, according to the official uniform system of the Ming Dynasty, indicating that these officials are not a grade or two or three grade of high-ranking officials, one of the officials with a black and white beard is walking back and forth on the steps with his hands behind his back, and he knows that he is restless at a glance, he is the director of the Hanlin Academy, Wang Ding, a university scholar.

The crowd of officials listened to the loud knock on the door outside. One by one, the six gods had no master, and they slapped the backs of their hands helplessly.

"Lord Wang, you have to come up with an idea quickly" The attendant of the Hanlin Academy, who was dressed in a three-grade court uniform, was impatient, and the sweat on his face came down. "It's not easy to offend the people of Jinyiwei"

Wang Ding rolled his eyes and glanced at him, "The old man knows, it's better for you to tell the old man." What should we greet with a courtesy? ”

The attendant snorted a few times, "This and this." How can the lower officials have this power, you are a university scholar. You have the final say."

"Open the door, the errand should not be over" The voice of the brocade guard came from outside the door, and it could be heard that the people outside had lost their patience.

Wang Ding frowned and stared at the door, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "Come on, open the door"

As soon as the words came out, the surrounding Hanlin immediately surrounded them, and someone asked, "How do we greet each other?" ”

It is said that if it is an envoy from another country, it must be treated with national courtesy as a guest, the envoy of another country represents the lord of a country, China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and the foreign envoy is very important in the country, if it is China's envoy to another country, China is the **** country, the envoy of the country can not have the lord of the country, and even the lord of other countries has to salute the envoy.

Wang Ding is ruthless, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and he can't avoid it, since the prime minister handed over such an important matter to the Hanlin Academy, he must not be able to mess it up, let alone insult the country.

"The old man has his own square inch, just open the door"

The officials shook their heads, uneasy in their hearts, Prime Minister Wang Cheng killed the court officials like killing grass mustard, and he was afraid to think about it, but don't make anything happen.

The door of the Hanlin Courtyard creaked open, Zhang Mingzhen smiled coldly, and Yang Yang dismounted and said to the envoy, "The errand of this seat is handed over, do you go in by yourself or will you be escorted in by this seat?" ”

By the way, Li Xinneng was selected by Li Laixiang as the main envoy, so naturally he had some ability, and this would also be righteous and awe-inspiring, with a back of his hand and his eyes at the sky, "This envoy wants to see the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, where is the Hanlin Academy?" I don't see it."

Zhang Mingzhen smiled, held the handle of the embroidered spring knife, looked at this group of obedient envoys, and said with a smile, "Don't give face, the prime minister is too lazy to take care of you, and I still want to see the emperor, dream, can you get in?" It's okay if you don't enter, Jinyiwei's Beizhen Fuji is happy to wait for people like you."

Li Xin is fearless, don't look at him as a scholar, but that kind of arrogance is better than many martial artists.

"This envoy came to discuss the diplomatic relations between the two countries on the order of our emperor, and the Hanlin Academy can be the master?"

But in this matter, a few people flashed out of the gate, led by the scholar Wang Ding, who saw that the scholar Wang was looking very serious, and as soon as he stepped on the high threshold, he pointed at Li Xin and immediately shouted, "Who is coming, dare to make noise at the gate of the Hanlin Academy"

This is nonsense, and it is also a dismount to the other party.

Li Xin calmly negotiated and said casually, "The squire of the Dashun Military Department, sent the Ming Dynasty by the edict of the Son of Heaven"

Wang Ding sneered, "The puppet dynasty also dares to call the edict of the Son of Heaven in my Ming land, and you still don't know how to repent from the thief's rebellion, but to help the abuse, my Ming Wang Shi sooner or later Xingyi Shi stepped on the crowd and captured the puppet emperor Li Laixiang alive"

Li Xin was also angry, brushed his sleeves and said coldly, "This envoy disdains to have a war of words with you."

Wang Ding did this out of helplessness and loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, Da Shun is the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what he talks about, he will become the handle of the people of the world, and he reprimanded the obedient envoy in front of the Jinyi Guard at the gate, and also showed the position of the Hanlin Academy, no matter what the obedient envoy came to talk about, no matter how it was discussed in the future, the result had nothing to do with the Hanlin Academy, everything was the idea of the imperial court. One more point, the most important one is omitted. Both sides don't need to salute, and it's impossible to say who wants to salute whom.

Zhang Mingzhen saw Wang Ding come out. That's it, the errand is handed over, and the rest will be handed over to the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to fight with them, and Jinyiwei is still busy.

So Zhang Mingzhen hugged Wang Ding, "Old Hanlin, I brought the person, so I will leave and go back to the prime minister's order."

Where could Wang Ding let him go, he hurriedly ran down and pulled Zhang Mingzhen aside. He said softly, "Don't, Commander Zhang, you can't just leave, does the prime minister have anything else to say?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen asked rhetorically, "What do you want to explain?" ”

Wang Ding smiled awkwardly and said, "Did the prime minister say what they were doing here?" How do you talk about it? ”

Zhang Mingzhen waved his hand, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." The prime minister asked me to bring them over, or you should go to the prime minister and ask."

Wang Ding thought about it, and really had to ask the prime minister in person, otherwise he would have no bottom in his heart. The ghost only knows the purpose of the envoy to come to the Ming Dynasty, if he talks about joining forces to resist the Qing, then won't the Hanlin Academy become the culprit of the conspiracy with the thieves?

"It's fine. I'll go now" Wang Ding didn't dare to let the envoy enter the door before he got an explanation from the prime minister. He immediately made a gesture to leave.

"You wait" Zhang Mingzhen grabbed him, "You're really going." Why are you so real, if the prime minister wants to see him, he will tell you if you go? You, first go and ask these people what they are doing in Daming, and then it's not too late for you to find the prime minister."

Wang Ding spread his hands, "Then what should I do if they want to make any excessive demands or if they don't fit in with the national system?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen gloated and smiled, "Don't ask me about this, I don't read much, I can't compare with you, the old Han Lin who has read the sage books for most of his life, okay, I'm still busy, say goodbye"

Wang Ding watched the Jinyi Wei and the others leave one by one in a daze, and he was unhappy in his heart, what is this called, usually it is not the turn of the Hanlin Academy for any good thing, but now this has been thrown upside down, pit people.

Wang Ding turned around and looked at the obedient envoys, secretly complaining in his heart, frowning and stretching out his hand, "Please come in and speak"

But he didn't expect Li Xin to be motionless, holding his head high, "This envoy is here with the emperor's order, can you, the Hanlin Academy, call the shots on the major affairs of the monarchy?" ”

Wang Ding was stunned, afraid of something.

"Remind you, in this other name of the emperor, I am Corporal Lixian, no matter what you come to do, I am ordered to meet everyone, but I can't lose this hospitality, please!"

Li Xin was also very distressed for a while, and originally wanted to suddenly appear in Nanjing and give the great tomorrow a reason to have to meet him, but he didn't expect that he still miscalculated, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng directly sent some Hanlin Academy to fight with them haha.

If you don't go in, you can't do it, I guess I have seen others in Nanjing City.

Li Xin walked in the pavilion, not flustered at all, and led his entourage to march in a dignified manner.

There is usually nothing serious about the Hanlin Academy, and there are no officials who come to talk to them, and the most in the yamen is a mountain of classics and palace archives, if it is not prepared in advance, this will not even have a hall to receive guests.

A room that has just been vacated is not large, with two rows of Taishi chairs, the first table of eight immortals, and a portrait of Sage Kong hanging on the wall.

A group of more than ten people hula marched in, Wang Ding's pace accelerated, grabbed the head of everyone to enter, stood at the top first, and bowed his hand to Li Xin and others, "Please sit, come, serve tea to the guests"

Wang Ding can also be regarded as a cautious eye, this school is just an ordinary way of hospitality, it has nothing to do with the envoys of both sides, who dares to talk, who talks about who dies, what is called negotiation, only when the two sides are in the same equal position can it be called negotiation, how is the Ming Dynasty also **** Shangguo, can talk about it is equivalent to recognizing the legitimacy of the founding of the Dashun State.

Li Xin also knew the embarrassment here, so he didn't have too much argument etiquette, he still had big things to do when he came to Daming, so he didn't have to be too clichéd.

The two sides of the house sat down, the servants served tea, Wang Ding was also considered to have done his best to entertain everyone, and when everyone was seated, Wang Ding said to Li Xin, "This official is ordered by the prime minister to meet you, if there is anything, there is no need to detour, I will give you an explanation if I can deal with it, if I can't make a decision immediately, I will also play the decision of my emperor and the prime minister."

Li Xin looked at the Ming Dynasty officials in the room, got up and left his seat, and arched his hand, "Scholar Wang, Li was ordered to come, first, to meet the Emperor of the Ming State and submit his credentials, second, to agree on the boundary between the two countries, and third, the common enemy of your country and Dashun is a Manchu alien race, and the truce should be called from now on.

Wang Ding heard that the sweat came down, let alone three, he couldn't be the master of one.

Wang Ding also got up and said, "Visitor, I have to remind you a few words, it is impossible for me to receive you on a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, as for the 'national letter', it is even more ridiculous, you were originally the people of my court, and you committed rebellion and usurped the throne to become the emperor, how can you say that there is a country, how can you say that the border between the two countries comes from?" ”

Li Xin snorted, "So you can't be the master of anything?" So what shall I talk to you about"

Wang Ding said, "It's better to talk about your lord Li Laixiang and what is the return to the imperial court"

Li Xin was immediately angry when he heard this, "Submission? Lord Wang, now my Dashun national strength is thriving, on the other hand, the Ming Court is already in decline, but it is just a place south of the Yangtze River to survive, if there is no me Dashun in Jiangbei to resist the Manchus, you people are not all slaves of foreign races."

"Bold!" Wang Ding broke off, "This is Nanjing, not Luzhou"

Li Xin has no fear, just looking at the current situation in Mingshun, it is an imperative general trend for the two countries to join hands to resist the Qing Dynasty, and it is very unwise to kill the envoy.

"How are you going?" Li Xin was arrogant and didn't take these Hanlin in his eyes at all.

Wang Ding huffed, how? How can it be? If the prime minister doesn't speak, what authority does he have to deal with the obedient.

Seeing that they didn't react, Li Xin was even more fearless in his heart, and immediately beckoned to his entourage, who immediately walked over and took out a book from the brocade box he brought with him.

Li Xin shook the book in front of everyone, and then walked to the table of the eight immortals in the main hall and threw it on the table, "This is the letter from the emperor of our country to the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and I will hand it over to the king."

On this frame, where is the letter of handing over the country, it is clearly the book of war, even Wang Ding can't stand it, the bullies are bullying people to Nanjing, and there is no Ming Dynasty in his eyes.

'Smack! Wang Ding took the case impressively.

"Li Xin, I told you, you are only here for the false obedience, there is nothing else to talk about, what kind of national letter, take it away, this official is not your messenger"

After that, Wang Ding picked up the book on the table and immediately threw it to the ground.

Li Xin's eyes were straight,, a little Hanlin actually dared to throw the national letter of Emperor Dashun to the ground, how to explain to the emperor this time.

"You, Wang Ding, do you want to provoke a war?"

Wang Ding did not show weakness, "Little thief, the court will be peaceful sooner or later"

Li Xin was furious, brushed his sleeves and said, "Okay, you wait, come, put away the national letter, return to the dynasty to resume life, I want to see how the Ming Dynasty dug its own grave, farewell!" ”

Wang Ding smiled secretly in his heart, but there was no fear on his face, and he waved his sleeves, "Don't send it!" ”

As soon as Li Xin left, the Hanlin who were stunned by the sudden scene just now surrounded them again, some people said that Wang Ding did not disgrace the country, and some people said that there was no war in Shun for more than half a year, this time I am afraid that the soldiers will rise again, Lord Wang This is to make the precarious court worse, and some people say that the emperor should immediately send troops to the northern expedition to the thieves, so as to set the record straight.

Wang Ding faced everyone's chatter and shouted, "Get out of here, what did you do just now?" (To be continued.) )
