Hubu Shangshu Mansion. Reading at zero o'clock

Han Xuandao's face looked extremely different, holding a yellow silk in his hand, he had always been calm in the face of things, but at this time, his eyes flashed with a gloomy cold light.

The prince of Xihe came to visit today, and Han Xuandao didn't expect to bring such bad news.

The look of the prince of Xihe and Yun Canglan beside him was also very unpleasant, Yun Canglan leaned back in the chair, as if thinking about something, while the prince of Xihe was drinking tea very mechanically.

The yellow silk in Han Xuandao's hand is of course not an ordinary yellow silk, this is a holy decree issued by Emperor Chongren of Qingguo.

The content of the decree is actually extremely simple, it is to order the Gyeongkook mission to return to Gyeongkook immediately.

There was no other word, just to let the Qingguo delegation return to Qingguo, but the meaning of the will is naturally self-evident, and there is no doubt that the Qingguo side has given up on this negotiation.

Although the Qingguo side did not want to continue the talks, it was naturally not stupid enough to publicly announce the suspension of negotiations with Yan Guo in the holy decree, and at this time, the face problem still had to be taken into account.

But when this will came at this time, it also proved that the forces of the Qingguo court against the alliance with the Yan State had prevailed.

Everyone can imagine that before such a will reached Yanjing City, it was finally decided after a brutal struggle within Qingguo.

"This king has long said ......!" The prince of Xihe seemed to be a lot older, put down the teacup, and said weakly: "Those people have been fighting back in the country, if the negotiations in the Yan country do not go well, the time will drag on for too long, and if you don't get it right, there will be problems." For a long time, the king had been worried that such a will would come to Yanjing, but now the bad news has come true...... This is the emperor's will, and this king has no power to return to heaven! ”

Han Xuandao put the Qingguo Holy Decree on the table, his brows furrowed, his hands clasped together, thoughtful.

"I am very glad to receive the will of your sovereign today." The prince of Xihe glanced at Han Xuandao: "Lord Han did his best, but he ...... If you had done it earlier, and had seen your monarch earlier, there would have been no such result. Before the king got up from the Sitong Pavilion, this holy decree arrived in time...... Hehe, it's really *** timely ......! The prince of Xihe looked very annoyed, and the dignified prince was supreme, and he couldn't help but burst out foul language, which showed that the anger in his heart was really not small.

Han Xuandao sighed and said, "Lord Wang, don't be too annoyed, so as not to hurt your body!" ”

"I can't take care of it." The prince of Xihe smiled bitterly: "This king is nearly sixty years old, and he has been doing nothing in this life...... This king is also the Daqing royal family, in this life, always have to do something for my Daqing country, I thought I could take this opportunity to negotiate the wish of the king's heart, even if I closed my eyes and had no regrets, but it was a pity...... This will has turned all the previous efforts of this king into ashes! ”

Han Xuandao stroked his beard and said, "Lord Wang, this official has also heard that your party is strong after Qingguo, but I really didn't expect it to be so strong...... How much good can they do to them if they really abolish the country's capital and obstruct negotiations because of their private interests? Your country's holy general, General Shang, is there no countermeasure? ”

The prince of Xihe said: "Don't hide it from Lord Han, if there is no holy general, our Daqing will not send an envoy at all." Merely...... The holy general is a soldier after all, and if he plays with power and scheming, how can he be the opponent of the rear party. And the post-party...... Hey, that's it, it's useless to talk about it anymore. He bowed his hand to Han Xuandao and said with a wry smile: "Lord Han, the last time I came to the mansion to say goodbye, it was just a last resort, it was nothing more than to urge Lord Han to act as soon as possible, so that the negotiations between you and me can have results as soon as possible...... But this time, this king is really going to say goodbye to Lord Han. Since entering Yanjing, he has been taken care of by Lord Han, and this king is very grateful, and he has always regarded Lord Han as a friend in his heart, but ...... This farewell, your two countries will definitely turn friends into enemies, and this king is afraid that he will also meet with Lord Han on the battlefield, and there will be no chance to drink and talk happily! ”

The situation is clearly visible.

The evacuation of the Qing envoy and the termination of the negotiations naturally benefited the most from the Wei people, and in the case of only one negotiation opponent to negotiate, the Wei people definitely benefited the most.

Even from a certain point of view, Yan will still suffer certain losses, and in the absence of negotiation competitors, the Wei people will naturally not come up with too rich negotiation conditions.

The evacuation of the Qingguo delegation will definitely be seized by Xiao Taishi and his party, and they will reprimand Qingguo for their rudeness, and the withdrawal in the middle of the negotiation will be the biggest blasphemy against Yanguo.

Under such circumstances, the public opinion of the government and the opposition will naturally be hostile to Qingguo, and the alliance tendency of the whole country will naturally fall to the side of Wei.

In the absence of much resistance, it is only a matter of time before Wei and Yan form an alliance, and in this way, Yan will definitely further negotiate the war plan with Wei, and in this way, the war between Wei and Qing, which is originally a war, will definitely pull Yan into it.

At that time, the Han faction naturally could not go against the overall political strategy of the Yan State, and could only participate in the military operations against the Qing State and serve the military system led by Xiao Huaiyu.

In this way, the Korean people will also be in danger!

The prince of Xihe said that the two would meet on the battlefield, but he was not a lie.

"Now even if this king wants to accept the conditions of your Grand Master, there is no chance!" The prince of Xihe sighed, stood up, and arched his hand tremblingly: "Lord Han, disturbing late at night, it's already a lot of trouble...... The king took his leave...... If this battle is over, this king does not die, and the two countries can make peace again, and this king is willing to drink and talk with Lord Han again......! He looked helpless, "Farewell!" ”

Yun Canglan had been silent, and when he saw the prince of Xihe get up, he also stood up and saluted Han Xuandao respectfully: "On the battlefield, I am willing to teach you!" ”

Han Xuandao also stood up, but said slowly: "When is the prince going to leave?" ”

"Lord Han also saw the will." The prince of Xihe picked up the holy decree from the table and put it in his sleeve: "Only the above is clear, when you see the holy decree, immediately set off to return to the capital!" ”

Han Xuandao's expression was solemn: "Can the prince delay for two days and see if there is a turnaround!" ”

"Turnaround?" The prince of Xihe shook his head and sighed: "The will has been made, there is no need to talk about it, where can there be any turnaround!" ”

"Lord Wang!" Han Xuandao said with a straight face: "Han is not talented, but please let the prince delay for two days...... As soon as this war begins, countless sons and daughters of our two countries will be buried on the battlefield, and countless orphans and widows will gather in the world, even if there is a last chance, we must not give up! ”

The prince of Xihe frowned, and when he saw Han Xuandao's solemn face, he couldn't help asking, "Lord Han...... Got a way? ”

"I must let this official meet the saint again!" Han Xuandao frowned and said, "Lord Wang, today the Holy Lord summoned you, when you entered the palace, did you say anything?" ”

The prince of Xihe said: "Today we are summoned in the Qianxin Palace in the palace, in addition to this king, there is also the old guy from the Wei State!" ”

"Mr. Qingyuan!"

"Yes!" The prince of Xihe said: "Before this king entered the palace, he just received this will, and his mood can be imagined, after entering the palace, Emperor Yan set up a small banquet, and only this king and Mr. Qingyuan were present......!" ”

Han Xuandao stared at the Lord of Xihe and listened carefully.

"Emperor Yan didn't talk about state affairs at the banquet, but just asked about some customs and ...... between our two countries!" The prince of Xihe said calmly: "Actually, the thoughts of the monarch of your country, this king is very clear, but he just wants to understand the current situation and financial resources of our two countries through these...... ”

"The prince is wise!" Han Xuandao said.

After the banquet, the king was very unwell, and said goodbye to the palace, but it was Mr. Qingyuan...... Hehe, I'm just afraid that I will have a good conversation with your lord! The prince of Xihe shook his head: "The matter has come to this, the situation is certain, there is no need to be in vain!" ”

Han Xuandao stepped forward to support the tired Xihe prince, and said warmly: "The prince has been overworked recently, so you should take care of your body." Han only hopes that the prince can stay in Yanjing for two more days, and within two days, if there is no turnaround, Xuandao can only send the prince out of Beijing in person! ”

"It's just that the holy decree clearly states that this king will return to Beijing as soon as he receives the decree......!" The prince of Xihe hesitated for a moment, and finally patted Han Xuandao's arm gently: "This king is unwell, he is sick, and he can't start for a while, so he can only stay for two more days, and only after his body recovers a little before he can return to Beijing!" ”

Han Xuandao smiled: "Don't worry, Xuandao will ask the imperial doctor to diagnose the prince tonight!" ”

Yun Canglan finally saluted Han Xuandao on the side, and said respectfully: "Lord Han, if you have a useful place, but please give orders, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate!" ”

Han Xuandao said with a smile: "Lord Yun is polite, if you want to help, this official will not be polite!" ”

Bidding farewell to the prince of Xihe, Han Xuandao immediately returned to the room, and under the service of his wife Han Cao, he changed into court clothes.

"Master, where are you going in the middle of the night?" Han Caoshi saw that Han Xuandao's face was solemn from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Enter the palace!" Han Xuandao said lightly: "There will be a meeting tomorrow, if you don't enter the palace tonight, I'm afraid that something big will happen tomorrow!" ”

Han Cao hurriedly said: "It's so late at night, the Holy Lord is only afraid that he has already rested, and he will enter the palace late at night to disturb the Holy ......!" ”

"I don't think the Holy One has rested yet!" Han Xuandao sneered: "Our emperor, I'm afraid that he is just waiting for me in the palace at this moment...... Even if he really disturbed him and was convicted, it was better than watching our Han family go to a crisis! ”

Han Cao's heart knew in his heart that if Han Xuandao could risk disturbing the emperor in the middle of the night to go to the deep palace to meet him, then the matter must be extraordinary, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, it's better to only enter the palace overnight with Lord Shangshu Fan of the Ministry of War, and Lord Hu of Dali Temple, if not, bring the third brother with you, there are too many people, and the saint will not be punished!" ”

When Han Xuandao heard this, his eyes showed a cold light, and he suddenly turned around and looked at Han Cao's family coldly.

Han Cao's heart was shocked when he saw Han Xuandao's cold gaze.

"Women, don't get involved in political affairs." Han Xuandao said coldly: "Are you going to force the palace?" ”

When Han Cao heard this, he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Although everyone knows that the relationship between the three of us is now harmonious, there are some things that cannot be put on the table even if everyone in the world understands." Han Xuandao said coldly: "What's more, although the Fan and Hu families are now friendly with my Han family, they are just forced by the situation, do you think they are really willing to follow my Han family?" Who doesn't have their own mind, what I'm most worried about now is that one day when they find an opportunity, they will hate and bite behind my Han family...... The He family is carrying the Xiao family to set up military equipment, ambitious, and the lessons from the past, don't you know? ”

Han Cao hurriedly said: "The concubine is talking nonsense, master, you are angry, don't hurt your body!" ”

Han Xuandao sighed and said, "We must be wary of anyone, otherwise we will be eaten, and we will not blame others." There are some things that are better to let those two get mixed less. He smiled coldly and said in a low voice: "And some things about our emperor may not be willing to let too many people know, there are too many people, and some things are not easy to say, and it will even make the emperor wary of us, which will backfire when the time comes, but it will not be good!" ”
