Chapter Seventy-Seven: The court is always in chaos
The chaos in the world has always started from the court, and at the court meeting on the second day, the Marquis of Jinzhou presented the fold to the king, which means that the peace talks can be made, and the lost Guanyunkou will be returned, so that Baili and the Jing Dynasty will be regarded as the sincerity of the peace talks.
In fact, most of the ministers in the court agreed with the Marquis of Jinzhou, and it was more difficult to have the battle of Xiao Yongye, everyone had the bottom in their hearts, and it was only a matter of time before they took back Guanyunkou and beat the Hui people back to the depths of Lianshan.
King Hui Yi came to the capital to negotiate peace, and the emperor did not say too much, and he didn't even get it to the court meeting, but only briefly mentioned a few words, and the courtiers were only unwilling to negotiate peace, and the emperor had never had a peace negotiation before, so the whole court was echoed.
The emperor had a cold face, looking at this group of courtiers who usually figured out, his face was dark. Rui Wang Ye glanced at it and didn't dare to speak, he understood what was going on, but at this juncture, he stood opposite all the courtiers, it wasn't for his life, so Rui Wang Ye, the only one who understood, was silent.
The emperor pretended to ask a few words about the defense of the border pass, and suddenly sent someone to summon Xiao Yongye: "The Duke of Yasukuni has a deep understanding of the border pass, which is not comparable to anyone. ”
Xiao Yongye had already intended peace talks, but the emperor hadn't planned it at that time, so he refused. The emperor naturally didn't expect that the current Xiao Yongye was also undecided. King Hui Yi wants to marry Gu Yange, and the emperor has reached an agreement with King Hui Yi in private, which makes Xiao Yongye unable to make peace, and Lord Peace means that Gu Yange may be given marriage to King Hui Yi, and the main station goes against his thoughts all along.
Xiao Yongye rode a horse all the way, and when he arrived at the hall, he saw all the courtiers looking at him together, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Xiao Yongye bowed in the center of the main hall and shouted loudly: "Weichen greets the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Aiqing is flat!" The emperor was looking forward to Xiao Yongye, and he was happy to see him at this time: "Yongye, what do you think of the peace talks between you and me?" ”
Xiao Yongye thought that the emperor was really anxious this time, otherwise he would not have summoned him so bluntly and hurriedly to ask, thought about it and observed the points in the court, so he bowed down: "The minister enlightens the emperor, in the humble opinion of the ministers, the Jing Dynasty and Hui Yi have been enemies for more than ten years, and the grievances have been deep. ”
Xiao Yongye kicked the ball back, and he didn't say yes or no, which was in line with his complicated mood now.
When the emperor heard this, he almost didn't stand up and grabbed Xiao Yongye and asked, Didn't you try your best to negotiate peace at the beginning, why is your position not obvious now. The emperor saw that Xiao Yongye was undecided, so he moved Prince Ke up again: "Yongye once said that peace is a good thing for the people and for the Jing Dynasty!" This time, I also considered the meaning of the original Ke Wang brother, taking into account the people of my Jing Dynasty, if I can make peace, it will be a good thing, so as not to suffer from the war again. ”
Hearing such a passage, the courtiers bowed to the ground in unison, shouted "Long live" three times, and then got up. The emperor held the handle of the dragon chair tightly with a headache, the joints of his ten fingers were pinched white, and looking at the courtiers exchanging glances, he suddenly felt that he might as well just forget it, but when he thought that the place where he stretched out his hand was the army of Hui Yi eyeing him, how could he tolerate it as an emperor.
Ming and then the war, the emperor understood that with the current strength of the Jing Dynasty, there was no problem in winning the battle, what was needed was time, this was a protracted war, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see it in his lifetime.
For the emperor, most of the people who think that they have a good reputation as an emperor through the ages hope that everything will be settled in their own hands, leaving an irreplaceable country to the future generations, and will be praised by history and admired by future generations. As an emperor, he is already trapped in a strange circle and will never be able to get out.
"Every time I think about the people at the border, I can't stay up all night, this discussion and peace is a good deed, what do the Qing family think, how to deal with the current return to King Yi personally come to Beijing to discuss peace?"
The courtiers discussed in a whisper below, in fact, King Hui Yi dared to come to the capital, and the emperor couldn't come out at all, which made the courtiers very puzzling, Jing Chao is used to holding the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, but it will not put any national demeanor at this juncture.
The courtiers were guessing the emperor's thoughts, but it was difficult to guess thoroughly, but Lord Rui was an understanding person. I just don't dare to say it explicitly.
In fact, the emperor could have said it clearly, but now in the face of the opposition raised by him in the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor is also helpless, and the emperor has a good reputation, if there is no good result in the future, it will achieve a bad reputation, and the emperor cannot afford to take this risk.
Xiao Yongye had a rare smile on his face, because His Excellency Yasukuni finally understood one thing today, and it turned out that this matter in the court was the same as marching and fighting. The march and war pay attention to real swords and real guns supplemented by strategies and strategies, and the thing in the court is to make knives in secret, stumbling behind the scenes, and it is still a strategy, or it is reasonable.
In fact, if it weren't for Gu Yange, Xiao Yongye would never have understood this ideal, pure soldiers and pure politicians are carved out of the same mold, they play yang conspiracy, and pure politicians play conspiracy. Under the imperial power, there are no politicians, most of them are politicians who play conspiracy, and come for fame and fortune.
So after figuring out today's matter, our Yasukuni Duke finally moved closer from a pure soldier to a politician, and the world played a game of chess, in the past, Prince Ke played with the Son of Heaven, and now it is Xiao Yongye's turn to play against the Son of Heaven.
"Alas, I even played with these fancy thoughts, and the court is really not a quiet place. No wonder some people say that everyone who reads books and goes to the court is crowded, but they don't see any real articles! "Xiao Yongye has actually been moving closer to Prince Ke, but after thinking about today's events, he feels that his style is naturally much lower than that of Prince Ke. Prince Ke has always been for the world and the peace of the people......
Xiao Yongye arrived at Prince Ke's mansion, picked up some of these words and said them to Gu Yange, Gu Yange was happy when he heard it, Xiao Yongye looked at Gu Yange and smiled, a little unclear: "Yan'er, what are you laughing at?" ”
Gu Yange was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and he took a handkerchief to cover his wrinkled face with a smile, he was already out of breath, and when Xiao Yongye, who was laughing, was about to wonder if he had made a big joke, Gu Yange stopped and said with a smile: "You think too much, I think why my father and King Huiyi fought in the first place, it was not because of my mother, my father was just for my mother at the beginning." It's just that later, as soon as the burden of the family and the country is pressed, the responsibility in the bones will be heavy, and the country and the world will not be picked by the father. ”
Xiao Yongye thought about it carefully, but this was not the case, King Hui Yi had to declare war in order to ask for it, Prince Ke fought in order to keep his princess and his family and country, but in the end, Prince Ke took on the responsibility of his family and country, but King Hui Yi was not able to shoulder the rise and fall of the whole clan: "Yan'er thought clearly about this matter, but I care too much about these things." ”
"Oh, now I suddenly feel pretty good, and there are people who are angry at the crown here because of me." Gu Yange deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone, Xiao Yongye is really a heavy burden, today's incident actually made him feel guilty, this man is really too responsible.
Jing Chao didn't have the allusion of "rushing to the crown and being angry for a red face", of course Xiao Yongye didn't understand, but he could still figure out the general meaning when he heard the literal words, so he smiled and said: "If it's a wild goose, what's the matter if you're angry." ”
Gu Yange was suddenly dumbfounded, Xiao Yongye's sudden arrival made her feel as if she had eaten ice cubes on dog days, it was very cold and comfortable, but she still had goosebumps all over her body. Gu Yange rubbed his head uncomfortably, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "This is contrary to the teachings that Yongye has received over the years, but I don't dare to let the Yasukuni Gong, who is a hero of the world, betray his responsibilities and beliefs for the sake of my little woman." ”
Xiao Yongye suddenly remembered a sentence that Gu Yange asked casually many years ago, when she was still a little girl: "If you can only choose one for your family and country, which one do you choose?" Xiao Yongye doesn't remember how he answered, but he still remembers this question inexplicably, this is a question that he doesn't know how to answer until now.
"Yan'er, is responsibility really that important?"
Gu Yange thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, a responsible person can be trusted." ”
Xiao Yongye gently patted Gu Yange's head, like when they were children: "Yan'er, your responsibility is to live a good life, and it is not your responsibility to live a good life, and it is not your responsibility to have a family and a country." ”
Xiao Yongye was worried that one day when the emperor really came to exchange Gu Yange for the covenant of peace and return, Gu Yange gave up everything for the word "responsibility" like Prince Ke, if someone must take the responsibility of the family and the country, let him bear it!
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the wife is also responsible. Our Jing Dynasty is a lot of heroines, and Mrs. Xiao is still one! "When the border was in distress, Mrs. Xiao went into battle with her husband to kill the enemy, and she was really a heroine among women for a while.
Xiao Yongye read the sentence "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband", and said with a smile: "Since you are the first husband and then the wife, then wait for the husband to be perfect before fulfilling the woman's responsibility!" ”
Gu Yange was drinking water, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but spray. Fortunately, I took a handkerchief to cover it and sprayed it all on the handkerchief, and the husband blamed and the woman blamed...... The originally heavy topic suddenly became ambiguous in an instant, so good, so powerful......
