Chapter 484: The Qingguo Mission
The old man in purple was stunned for a moment, then blew his beard, and said very unhappily: "Of course, this king is the prince of Xihe, how can this be fake?" ”
Han Mo smiled, looked at the old man in purple, and then smiled: "The old gentleman looks like an extraordinary person, but this dress really doesn't look like the prince of the country!" ”
The old man in purple heard Han Mo say that he looked like an extraordinary person, his face turned slightly pale, and he said with a smile: "This king is to endure humiliation and act in a low-key manner. Young man, I can't see it, but your eyesight is excellent, and you can see the extraordinary things about this king, and you have much more eyesight than those bastards just now. Yes, this time you helped this king solve the trouble, this king has always been a clear reward and punishment, and this king will definitely reward you when you turn around...... Yes, you haven't told the king your name yet! ”
Han Mo smiled and said, "It's just a small person, if the old gentleman is really a prince, it is an honor for the younger generation to be able to help a prince break the siege." ”
"This king is really a prince!" The old man in purple said angrily: "This is still fake, in this world, who else dares to pretend to be the king!" ”
Han Mo looked at him blowing his beard and glaring, but he didn't have the domineering spirit of the prince, but a little childlike cuteness, seeing that this old man was a little excited, he believed in his heart that this old guy was really the prince of Qingguo, but he didn't know why the dignified Qingwang and the Qingguo delegation appeared here so shabby.
Han Mo also knew that now that Wei Qing was meeting each other, Chen was on the frontier, and the war was about to break out, this Qing Guo came to Wei to reach a non-aggression agreement in order to avoid worries, and this matter was also discussed in the Yan court, but the way the Qingguo mission appeared was still very surprising.
Naqing is a big country in the north, and it can be said that it is the most powerful country today, and its national strength is much stronger than that of Yan State, and their mission, no matter how you think about it, cannot be like this.
Because of this, it is understandable that the captain of the city gate recognized this group of people as fakes.
Han Mo also knew that he still didn't want to mess with this kind of diplomatic state affairs, so he just smiled and arched his hand to the prince of Xihe, and said, "Old man, the person who welcomes you will be here soon, so you can wait here for a while!" He didn't say much, but shook the reins of his horse, turned his horse's head, and went back into the city.
He returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and went straight to the East Courtyard to find his father, Han Xuanchang saw him, and immediately frowned: "Why is it delayed for so long?" I just married my daughter-in-law, and I spent a few days with her, but I didn't have much time to spend with her! ”
Han Mo hurriedly said yes, and then told Han Xuanchang about the matter in front of the city gate.
Han Xuanchang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In the past, Qingguo sent me Dayan, and every time I said less, there were two or three hundred people, but this time, there were only a few dozen people?" ”
Han Mo said: "Father, I don't think they look like fake envoys!" ”
Han Xuanchang nodded and said, "This kind of big thing, ordinary people don't dare to pretend." Qing envoy came, we also know the news, two days ago we also got the news, Qingguo has a team of 200 people left Qingguo Shangjing, is coming to our side, I calculated the day, no matter how to say it will take five or six days to arrive...... But why a convoy arrived today, it's a bit odd! ”
Han Mo's eyes rolled slightly, and he said softly: "Father, could it be that the big convoy behind is just to hide people's eyes, and this group of real envoys has already secretly set off and come to my Yanjing in advance?" ”
Han Xuanchang stroked his beard, thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Mo'er, what you said is right, the people of Qingguo are only afraid that they are worried that the envoys of the Wei State will arrive in Yanjing before them, so they secretly Chen Cang, pretending to be like this, arrived in Yanjing in advance, and it is better to take care of it in advance...... It seems that the people of Qingguo attach great importance to this agreement! ”
"The more you pay attention to it, the more likely it is that this battle will be fought." Han Mo said: "The people of Qingguo are afraid that we will send troops to the rear of Yan Kingdom, and this time it will definitely bleed a lot!" ”
Han Xuanchang smiled and nodded: "Qingguo is a big country, the national strength is strong, and the agreement more than ten years ago not only married Princess Huaqing, but also brought a lot of wealth...... But this time it's a little different. At that time, Wei thought very highly of itself, and did not come to our Yan State to discuss the two countries to attack Qingguo, so Qingguo worked hard and reached an agreement. This time I have already received the news, and the mission sent by Wei is also rushing here, I am afraid that we will be able to arrive in Yanjing in these two days, and these two countries have come to negotiate, which is much more lively than back then! ”
Han Mo thought for a moment before asking, "Father, in your opinion, which country should we negotiate with?" ”
Han Xuanchang waved his hand, shook his head and said: "This kind of thing, there is no conclusion, it depends on the meaning of the court." If you let the father decide, it will be difficult to choose. If it is negotiated with Qingguo, it will be a safe and steady acquisition of a large amount of property, and our Yan Kingdom will benefit a lot, and we will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watch the two countries fight to the death, and consume each other's national strength...... If you join forces with the Wei people, although you can't get the property of Qingguo, maybe you can send troops to attack, but you can occupy some land, and with land, it is much more valuable than property......! Speaking of this, Han Xuanchang thought for a moment and sighed softly: "If it weren't for the domestic family fighting, the royal family would be eyeing my family, and my father really thinks that he can join forces with Wei and build a big land in Qingguo to ......!" ”
Han Mo knew what his father meant.
Yan itself, why don't you want to expand the fertile territory, such a good time, if Wei and Yan join forces, although Qingguo has Shang Zhongli, but Wei State's Sima Qingtian and Yan State's Xue Huaiyu are not vegetarians, these two famous generals led by the two countries to attack Qingguo, even if Qingguo can not be destroyed, but it is indispensable to abandon the city and abandon the land, Yan State may be able to obtain many benefits through this war.
It's just that the political situation in Yan is extremely unstable now, and the successive family downfalls have actually caused instability among the people of Bozhou County, Yichun County, and Wu County, and the flood in Yichun County has also brought a huge impact on Yan Guo's finances.
In order to wage war, in addition to a strong army and strong generals, money, food and equipment are also needed, which involves a lot of yamen, and there are many problems that are extremely difficult to coordinate.
The minds of the major families in Yan Country are inconsistent with each other, and it is really not easy to coordinate and open to the outside world.
The father and son also knew that if Yan Guo wanted to start a war with the outside world, it was by no means as simple as imagined, so they were speechless for a while.
"And nothing else!" Han Xuanchang finally said: "Qingguo is a big country in the north after all, and their envoys were beaten by the people of the Xiao family, this is not a trivial matter...... This time, let's see how Taishi Xiao explains! ”
Beat the envoy of Qingguo, that is, a slap in the face of the Qingguo court, Qingguo prides itself on being a state of etiquette, and the most important thing from top to bottom is the problem of face, Xiao Mingtang is at the city gate, and everyone beats the deputy envoy of Yan State in front of everyone, and the people of Qingguo will naturally not take a break easily, even if they come to negotiate with Yan Guo this time, they will never bow their heads.
The people of Qingguo think very highly of themselves, and they came to Yan Kingdom, but they didn't want Yan Guo to harass the rear of Qingguo, and they would never be afraid of Dongfang Yan Kingdom in their bones.
Han Mo didn't care about Xiao Mingtang's future, what he was concerned about now was only the problem on the side of the Wind Country.
Seeing that Han Mo was about to speak, Han Xuanchang couldn't help asking, "Mo'er, what are you thinking?" ”
"Father, I've heard a little bit of unrest in the Windy Country." Han Mo said slowly: "Now that Wei Qing is competing, any decision made by my Yan Kingdom must take into account that there is still a poisonous snake behind ......!" ”
Han Xuanchang's expression immediately became serious, frowned, picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and said, "I have also heard about this matter." ”
"Does Father know what's going on over there?" Han Mo looked at Han Xuanchang and asked.
Han Xuanchang pondered for a moment before he said: "The villages of the Wind Country are now under martial law, prohibiting people from other countries from entering the country...... However, as far as I know, several Fengguo officials died in Kamiyama Castle, and then a riot was triggered, and it is still unclear what happened! ”
"The riot in the Wind Country is not a good thing for my Yan Kingdom!" Han Mo frowned and said, "The child wants to go to the Wind Country to find out what happened over there!" ”
Han Xuanchang shook his head and said: "It's too dangerous over there, even if the DPRK wants to check the movements of the Wind Country, it will naturally send people from the East Flower Hall to go there, you don't have to go to the danger!" ”
Han Mo immediately said, "Father, child...... The child has already sent someone to ......! ”
Han Xuanchang's expression sank, stared at Han Mo, and asked, "Is it the person who sent the West Flower Hall?" ”
"It's not!" Han Mo shook his head and said, "It's Zhu Xiaoyan...... I sent him to the Windy Nation to find out...... But so far, there is no news back, so the child wants to go for himself! ”
Naturally, he didn't dare to say that he sent Zhu Xiaoyan to steal the holy relics of the Wind Country, if he said this, Han Xuanchang was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger on the spot.
"Is that the groom?" Han Xuanchang pondered for a moment, and finally remembered.
Han Mo nodded.
Han Xuanchang didn't speak immediately, just picked up the teacup, and after thinking about it, Han Mo stepped forward and said softly: "Father, there must be a reason for the turmoil in the wind and the country." In any case, it is beneficial to find out the truth...... And the child thought, if the reason is grasped by our Han family first, it will more or less grasp some active ......! ”
Han Xuanchang looked at Han Mo and sighed, "When are you going to leave?" ”
"The sooner the better!"
Han Xuanchang frowned and said, "You just got married, so you went to take risks...... And if you go, the West Flower Hall is upside down, this leopard battalion commander, but you can't easily leave Beijing...... You need to play the Holy Spirit! ”
Han Mo nodded and said, "The child understands." Ming'er and the children went to the palace to thank Concubine Shuniang, meet the saint, and ask the saint for instructions! ”
"Let the Holy One know your whereabouts?" Han Xuanchang frowned.
This time, since Han Mo is going to the Wind Country to investigate, he is bound to keep his whereabouts secret, and he must not let outsiders know, otherwise some people may have bad intentions and harm Han Mo from it.
Han Xuanchang was worried that after the emperor knew about Han Mo's whereabouts, would he also have some plans?
Han Mo shook his head and smiled: "Father, don't worry, now the emperor is about to use our Han family, and for him, figuring out the affairs of the Wind Country is beneficial to him, I don't think he should get in the way!" He smiled coldly and said softly: "And the child's trip, although he knows that I am going to the Wind Country, but the three counties and eight villages of the Wind Country are so vast that he can't grasp the child's whereabouts!" ”
"Who are you going to bring?" Han Xuanchang stared at Han Mo: "Bringing the people in the West Flower Hall is equivalent to bringing the eyes of the saint ......!" ”
Han Mo smiled faintly: "Even if you bring a pair of eyes, the child will be blindfolded!" ”
Han Xuanchang looked at his son's confident face, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Everything has to be careful...... You must hide your whereabouts, and if there is any danger, promise to be your father and return immediately! ”
Han Mo looked at Han Xuanchang's eyes with a worried look, and smiled: "Father doesn't have to worry about his child...... The child is married, so he will be careful in everything! ”
Thinking of leaving the bride in the house early in the morning, it was very inappropriate, so he withdrew from the hall and went back to the new house, as soon as he entered the door, it was very quiet inside, Han Mo frowned, could it be that Xiaoqian was still on Aunt Bi's side?
He entered the inner room, but saw the table near the window, Xiao Qian was sitting in front of the window, holding a brush, writing something, next to Han Qin was watching her sister-in-law write without blinking, the window was supported by a wooden bolt, a gust of wind blew into the window, Xiao Qian's forehead a lock of green silk fluttered slightly, and the fair skin of Shengxue reflected each other, the beauty was reading by the window, it was really a picture of beauty to the extreme.
