Chapter 45 So the Monarch
After Pei Ju retired from the palace, he rested at the envoy's post house at this time.
In the house, Pei Ju was writing a book, and from time to time it was finally completed, Pei Ju found a messenger under his command and asked him to send it to Daming urgently for 800 miles.
As soon as the messenger left the city with the letter, he was surrounded by a battalion of Youzhou soldiers.
The messenger unveiled his horse: "Who are you waiting for?" I am the messenger of the Great Ming, how dare I surround me? ”
The soldier was led by a big man, and the big man waved his hand: "Capture!" ”
The group hurriedly captured the messenger.
After searching the letter from the messenger's bosom, he tortured the messenger to extract a confession, and after making sure that the messenger did not deliver the message without permission, he sent several light horsemen to accompany the messenger to deliver the letter.
Youzhou City, Dayan Palace,
A middle-aged man dressed as an inner servant walked up to Hong Zaixing, saluted Hong Zaixing and said: "Your Majesty, we have not found that the envoy has a lie, the letter he wrote to the Ming Emperor is here, please read it!" ”
The middle-aged man respectfully handed over the letter in his hand, and Hong Zaixing picked it up and looked through it.
"I didn't expect that this Liang Yong was really a wolf's ambition, and Liang Guo actually wanted to provoke the war between my Dayan and Nanming, and wanted to sit and collect the fisherman?" Hong Zaixing looked playful.
At this time, Hong Zaixing's anger has indeed been eliminated, but he still has a preconceived notion that he still has no doubt about what Pei Ju said, of course, this time he just wants to confirm it many times.
Even Hong Zaixing thought clearly, there is nothing practical on the table of this big beam, if he really wants to surrender, and directly let the Yan army into Nanjing, wouldn't it be more sincere!
At this time, Hong Zaixing still thought that he was only deceived by Liang Yong's humble words on the surrender table and the merits of the whole country.
Suddenly, Hong Zaixing thought of something again, and said to the chamberlain beside him: "A few days ago, Li Anguo reported the military situation, not that he was trapped in Dingcheng by the Nanming Army, it was a waste!" However, after the alliance with the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to attack the Ming Dynasty for the time being, and he was sent to crusade against the Liang State. ”
……
The eight-hundred-mile urgent letter was very fast, and a few days later, Pei Ju's letter reached Daming.
Gangneung, Daming Imperial Palace.
At this time, Han Tingzhi, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was reading Pei Ju's biography, and next to him was a man dressed as a scribe.
"Hahaha! If you don't think so! Look at this epistle! After laughing for a while, Han Tingzhi handed the letter in his hand to the scribe beside him.
This scribe's name is Jiang Ruoxu, and he is considered to be the mastermind of Han Tingzhi, who once called him "the lonely son's room!" Now he is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Jiang Ruoxu took the letter, opened it, and it read:
"Qi my emperor, the foreign envoy Pei Ju bowed to him, and the ministers sent an envoy to the Yan State according to the emperor's order, while carefully exploring the Liang can have a surrender table and the Yan State, and at the same time discussing with the Yan Emperor about the crusade against the Liang State, the result is not as His Majesty expected!
That Liang State first offered a surrender table to my Daming, saying that it was to show sincerity to send troops to Youzhou, and at the same time to send troops to our country, but then to surrender to Yan State, and also said that it was willing to send troops to my Daming, and at the same time asked Yan to send troops, a table to offer two countries, unprecedented!
Wei Chen was a little angry in his heart, the wolf ambition of Liang Guo, and vainly tried to surrender the table with two seals, so he raised the matter of my Ming and Yan State soldiers! Liang Guo must want to sit on the fisherman, but fortunately, His Majesty has a clear understanding of Liang Guo's ambitions, and sent Wei Chen to envoy Yan Guo!
The minister has informed Yan Guo to make him aware of Liang Guo's plan, and at the same time made an alliance with Emperor Yan to crusade against Liang State, but how dare Wei Chen make his own claim on military affairs, so he wrote this letter to inform His Majesty! I hope Your Majesty is in charge!
Foreign envoy Pei Ju, bow again. ”
Jiang Ruoxu also laughed out loud when he saw it, he was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he knew that the Liang State did not send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty at all, let alone offer the two countries.
"Brother Pei Ju is really a conniving family, and one person will be able to lift the crisis of my Daming."
Han Tingzhi also smiled: "Pei Ju's mouth has disintegrated the barbarian rebellion for thousands of years!" ”
What Han Tingzhi said was that when Pei Ju sent an envoy to the barbarians, he divided the barbarians with a sharp mouth, and now the barbarians are divided into two tribes, Shanman and Jiangman, and they are hostile to each other.
Han Tingzhi sent people to woo these two tribes, and immediately solved the barbarian problem that had existed for hundreds of years.
At this time, Jiang Ruoxu arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, then Liang Yong really wants to surrender?" ”
Han Tingzhi thought that Liang Yong actually wanted to attack him with Yan Guo, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and then said: "Although Liang Yong is ambitious and talented, he is scheming!" But it's not a subordinate generation. But why he surrendered, I don't know! ”
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ruoxu said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, in the opinion of Weichen, Liang Yongxian surrendered the table firstly for self-protection, secondly, to delay the army and want to try to dominate the cause again, and thirdly, to leave a way back!" ”
Han Tingzhi was interested, he had always known the strategy of the mastermind under him, and knew that Jiang Ruoxu must have something to say, so he said: "Ruoxu, you can say it!" ”
Jiang Ruoxu arched his hand and said: "Liang State has my Ming Dynasty as its neighbor in the south, which is originally miserable, and after the unification of the north at this time, Yan Guo wants to march south. My Ming soldiers are strong and strong, sitting on hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, and the soldiers and civilians of the Liang State are weak, the monarch is incompetent, the Yan State will inevitably attack the Liang State first, this Liang surrender is for self-protection, not to let the Yan State Xing troops attack!
At the same time, Liang Guo in order to show sincerity, the alliance invited Yan Guo to raise troops and my Ming Dynasty, Yan Army came to the south is rootless water, how can it be compared with Liang Army, Liang State can seize the fortress of my Ming Dynasty on this opportunity, but even if you don't admit to surrender the table, you can still fight with Yan Guo!
In these three ways, if Liang Guo is still unable to compete with Yan Guo by then, this table reduction can make Liang Yong rich and noble! ”
I have to say that Jiang Ruoxu is a scheming person, and he guessed everything Liang Yong's heart thought in a short time.
Han Tingzhi heard Jiang Ruoxu's analysis, nodded from time to time, the more he listened, the more reasonable he felt, and even Han Tingzhi put himself in Liang Yong's position, understanding that this was also the best strategy he could think of, Liang Yong was a good strategy!
But Han Tingzhi didn't admire Liang Yong, and snorted coldly: "What is the difference between relying on surrender to protect oneself, and relying on relatives and ministers to survive?" If I were Liang Yong, even if I killed the city in battle, I would not want to endure humiliation and steal my life! ”
Hearing what Han Tingzhi said, Jiang Ruoxu looked at His Majesty with admiration, this admiration was real, and it was not half false.
Han Tingzhi was born in a humble background, he made a living by herding cattle when he was a child, and later joined the White Lotus Sect, and with his own pride and righteousness, he achieved the position of the leader of the White Lotus Sect all the way.
Since then, Han Tingzhi has fully demonstrated his decisiveness and leadership temperament, and it is not for nothing that his subordinates can gather Lu Xiaoxian, Jiang Ruoxu, Pei Ju and others.
If you really want to talk about it, Han Tingzhi can go from herding cowherds to today's founding emperor in just a few decades, and he is only a little short of able to unify the south, and he can be said to be the most eloquent king today!
