Su Yan's eyes were red because he hadn't slept all night, his brows were not locked, but he looked worried, and he looked at it with a national letter in his hand. Not a word. The minister stood in front of him, without saying a word, and the entire Yaqian Hall was quiet, and the sound of breathing could be heard.

When Yuan Bolang arrived, the officials of the six ministries consciously moved out of the way and let Yuan Bolang step forward. Yuan Bolang stood still, Su Yan seemed to sense his arrival, glanced up at him, closed the national letter in his hand, and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened when the ministers and others came?" Yuan Bolang asked.

All the ministers looked at Su Yan, and it must be a big deal to make the emperor so worried. If it is a Turkic national letter, then whether the Turks are fighting or not at this time is completely up to the imperial court.

Su Yan pointed to Qu Zhu, the leader of the President of the Imperial Forest Army, who was standing in front of the kang, and said, "Let the leader Qu say it." ”

Everyone looked at Qu Zhu again.

It stands to reason that the president of the Imperial Forest Army is responsible for the security of the palace, and he should not appear in the Yaqian Hall where the government gathers at this time, and since Qu Zhu appeared, the minister also realized that this time it was not only the government affairs, but also the military affairs.

Qu Zhu had a very military demeanor and was straight, and said: "The Turkic Khan sent someone to deliver the letter of state, hoping to tie the relationship with the Great Shun Dynasty for a hundred years." With the Dashun Dynasty as the upper state, and willing to pay tribute every year. ”

The words were concise and to the point, and after Qu Zhu finished speaking, the Yaqian Hall was still silent.

The war in the north has lasted for more than half a year, and now it is still not over in winter, could it be that Huaji'an has withdrawn its troops, and the Turks have relieved themselves and are ready to sue for peace with the Shun court?

Yuan Bolang asked: "I wonder if the Turks are compromising or taking the initiative to seek peace?" ”

This question seems to be asked to the emperor, and it also seems to be asked to Qu Zhu. Su Yan lowered his head and did not speak. And Qu Zhu as a courtier. Without the emperor's permission. It's a question he can't answer.

After being silent for a long time, Su Yan said slightly: "Commander Qu, tell me the details." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qu Zhu clenched his fists and said to the officials, "In the middle of last month, the army of the Great Shun Dynasty passed through the great desert north of the steppe, arrived north in Mobei, and found the Turkic royal court in the northern wilderness. And there was a fierce battle in a hilly area called Shanglin River. Our army has won a great victory. ”

Speaking of which, Yaqian Hall finally had a voice, and the ministers talked to each other, since the army of the Shun Dynasty has found the Turkic royal court and fought a great victory, that means that the war in the north has ended? What about the Turkic credentials?

Could it be that the Turks are now a "government in exile"?

"Our army continued to march north, preparing to pacify the Turkic royal court in one fell swoop, but encountered certain difficulties, so we will temporarily suspend our troops......"

Speaking of which, the officials thought. It may be that Huaji'an's army won first and then suffered defeat. It was Mobei, where birds don't, and the absolute home of the Turks. The Turks took advantage of the time and place.

"It's in the army. Prepare to go north again. Qu Zhu's words changed, "There was a coup d'état within the Turkic royal court, and the thief leader Mojia Khan died, and the Khan's son also succeeded to the throne...... It's for the Khan. ”

It is also understandable that the Turks have suffered a change. Originally, Mojia Khan was the khan who usurped his brother's throne to get the position of Khan, and the foundation was not stable, so he encountered the Shun Dynasty army marching north, and the Turks even suffered defeats and even gave up the grassland in Monan, and retreated to Mobei to be chased to the door by the Shun Dynasty army. The insiders were not convinced, and it was only natural to oust him from power and replace him with a new Khan.

However, it is a bit perverse for the son to usurp the throne of Lao Tzu, and many of the ministers in the Yaqian Hall are old scholars who pay attention to etiquette, so they naturally want to slander the uncivilized savage habits of the Turkic people.

Yuan Bolang asked anxiously: "Is it the letter of state handed over by Ban Ye Khan?" ”

Qu Zhu sighed again: "On the second day of the throne of the Khan, the Dardo tribe rebelled together with other tribes and killed the Dardo tribe in the royal tent, and the Khan of the Dardo tribe succeeded to the throne of the Khan, which was the Dati Khan. ”

The officials couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and the Turks were too chaotic internally, and it was only a day's work, first the son usurped Lao Tzu, and then the subordinates rebelled and usurped the throne. If this is the case, then why don't the Shun Dynasty army hurry up and take advantage of the internal chaos of the Turks to calm down the territory one by one? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Then how about my Shun Dynasty army?" Yuan Bolang asked.

Qu Zhu replied: "I am facing the army, and I have not moved!" ”

There was an uproar.

The officials began to talk and their voices became louder. Some directly shouted that "villains mislead the country", and their words were criticized, but they didn't know who the "villain" in his mouth was referring to.

Yuan Bolang asked with a dark face: "Did my Shun Dynasty army not receive the news, or did I deliberately stand still after receiving the news?" What happened after that? ”

Qu Zhu said: "Because of the cold climate of the Mobei grassland, our army has withdrawn to Monan before the first snow in Mobei, and the Turkic Dati Khan sent envoys, first to make peace with our Korean army, and then sent people to send a letter of state to Chang'an City. Dati Khan made it clear that if the Shun Dynasty did not care about the past suspicions, he would send official envoys to Chang'an. ”

Yuan Bolang was very angry in his heart, originally he did not support Liu Wenyan and Hua Ji'an's strategic deployment of rushing to extermination, but since the Shun Dynasty chose to kill them all, and used a lot of manpower and material resources to hollow out the entire Shun Dynasty, he was at the end of the bamboo basket to draw water, which made people extremely annoyed. Huaji'an has already led a large army to Mobei, why not directly destroy the Turks and have no future troubles?

Yuan Bolang was angry, but he always felt that something was not right.

If the Turks sent a letter of begging for surrender, it was also the victory of the Shun Dynasty, and the Turks would also submit to the Shun Dynasty in the future. Even if the Turks rebelled and the Turks wanted to recuperate and make a comeback, it would take two generations later, and the army of the Shun Dynasty would go north again at any time, and it would be easy to do things if they were familiar with the road.

Why did the emperor react so much when he saw this letter?

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that my army will pacify the Turks." Yuan Bolang comforted Su Yan, who was a little depressed, and said, "Even if the emperor doesn't want to negotiate peace with the Turks, then he can wait until the beginning of spring next year to send a large army to completely pacify the Turks." I believe that the Turks will not make any waves at that time. ”

Su Yan looked up at Yuan Bolang, his eyes were confused, and he suddenly smiled helplessly, and then handed over the national letter in his hand: "You can understand it by looking at this." ”

Yuan Bolang doesn't understand it a little, it's just a national book, and there is a mystery in it?

After taking the national letter written on silk cloth for paper cinnabar, Yuan Bolang looked at it, it was written in Chinese characters, and the font was very regular, indicating that there were also people who were proficient in Chinese calligraphy among the Turks. The content is basically the same as what Qu Zhu said, Yuan Bolang didn't see the doorway, just the font, he felt like he had seen it somewhere.

"Look and see if you recognize it." Yuan Bolang handed the national credentials to Lan He on the side with questions.

Lan He took a look at it, was shocked, and dropped the national letter on the ground.

"This ...... This is clearly Liu Wenyan...... The words of Wu Yihou. Wuyi Hou ...... Treason? ”

After Lan He finished speaking in shock, he found that the entire Yaqian Hall was staring at him, and his face was also incredible. (To be continued......)
