Chapter 491: Bending at both ends
Volume 1 Bully Me, Insult Me, I Can't Bear Chapter 491 Two Ends Bend
The Great Zhou is the mother country. //. 78 No pop-ups, fast updates// The Great Zhou Emperor is Renjun. Everyone knows it.
Song Land is not yet a country. Song Di Yuan Xiang was a corrupt official who reformed, and Chu Hou was a merchant who innovated. Everyone in the world knows it.
As soon as you make a move, you will know if there is one. Therefore, it is of course better to be selected than Yangcheng, so as not to beg to detain the charge of insincerity on Song Di. And just like Mo Zi said, if the king didn't dare to go, the hypocrisy was immediately exposed, and this was an opportunity for Song to continue the attack.
Yuan Cheng also wrote two letters. The letter to the king of Daqiu said that if the peace talks were held in Shangdu, he would sail lightly and strive for the well-being of the people of the world for a hundred years. For the Emperor of the Great Zhou, that's another way of saying, not necessarily yīn conspiracy, but he will not take the risk of risking his life, so he has a plan.
In April, the reply of the king arrived. A faction of high-sounding rhetoric pinching the head and removing the tail is a condensed essence. As long as the world is informed of this matter, regardless of the outcome of the peace talks, it is enough to guarantee that he will return safely.
Soon the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued a decree that the two countries would not fight each other, let alone the princely generals who were important in the world. Even if the negotiation fails, the two parties will be guaranteed to leave safely.
After such back and forth, the peace talks were postponed to September.
After the date was finalized, the superstructure of the Song Land began to be standardized. Gold and silver, that is, Chu Yu, was officially named An Minghou by the cabinet, and it was a product. Yuan Cheng, from the original default prime minister, was crowned as a commonplace, and it was a product. The two of them have the same rank and lead the three pavilions. The three pavilions are the military pavilion, the civil pavilion, and the law pavilion, and Zhang Zhen, the general Chen Sheng under the gold and silver, Li Lao, Yang Xin's father, Wei An, Teng Guo six masters, the official worship six phases, is the second product. Under the three cabinets are six departments, which are in charge of various specific matters. The difference between the officialdom of the Song Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the fact that it is still unknown who will be the emperor, is that there are more voting and decision-making rights of officials above the three cabinets, six ministries and four ranks, the referendum law on special events, and the law that allows women to take the foreign official examination.
Mo Zi, Yang Xian, Qiu Shuang, and Luo Ying Xiaoyi were each awarded official ranks, among which Mo Zi was the highest, and he was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, from the second grade. But Mo Zi resigned and only accepted the position of the head of the Yangcheng Shipyard. She never wanted to be an official in politics, she didn't think she was that material, and she didn't have any ambitions. Being a dedicated shipwright in charge of a thriving shipyard is the career she yearns for.
In August, the osmanthus was golden and fragrant, and Mo Zi and Yuan Cheng got on the boat to Shangdu. Yuanbao has been weaned and handed over to his great-grandparents who specially moved to Yangcheng to get together, and stayed in the rear.
On this night, entering the port of Yunzhou, someone sent a letter of gold and silver.
Yuan Cheng laughed when he read it.
Mo Zi was reading the historical records in the same study room as him, and when he saw him like this, he asked, "What did Jin Dashao say to make you so funny?" ”
"He said that I was cunning, shameless and despicable, and he actually made him a marquis without his consent." Although it is the same product, Hou Ye is one step closer to the throne than Sikong, and Yuan Cheng's insistence on this matter has made the three pavilions and six departments reluctant to retreat. You can see his intentions, and gold and silver are no exception.
"If he is against it, why don't he come to Yangcheng and say it himself? Since you don't come, you should be enlightened. Mo Zi could imagine the expression of gold and silver gritting his teeth, and he also felt funny, "By the way, did he set off?" ”
A crisis is also an opportunity. If there are pitfalls in the peace talks, there is the possibility of becoming famous in a war. Song Di is a marquis and a commonplace, who will be the emperor, everyone is still waiting, Yuan Cheng is still calculating gold and silver, and he is still resisting.
"I didn't mention it." Yuan Cheng handed over a letter, "Doulu gave it to you." ”
Mo Zi opened it and frowned, "Judging from the letter, Jin Yin doesn't plan to attend, it seems that he has seen through your thoughts of pushing him to the top again." What to do? ”
Yuan Cheng didn't care, "It's okay not to go." I still don't understand why the king proposed peace talks. Pingcheng is now equivalent to the border, he can stay on the one hand to prevent a surprise attack, and on the other hand, he can also avoid any yīn plot that may happen in Shangdu, in case something happens to you and me, with him, Song Diwei will not be chaotic. ”
"Push the boat down the river?" Mo Zi's eyes flickered, "Otherwise, let's go back forever." ”
"Don't you want your son?" Yuan Cheng asked.
"Just let grandpa bring the baby out." After Mo Zi finished speaking, he suddenly said, "Even if Jin Yin can't think of it, Old Li will definitely doubt it." ”
Yuan Cheng smiled, "It's good to know." ”
Hua Yi walked in, "Yuan Xiang, General Wei is here." ”
"Yes, please." Only a few people knew about the cooperation between Da Zhou and Song, so Wei Jia came to visit at night.
Mo Zi was about to quit.
"He's familiar with you, don't you want to say a word?" Yuan Cheng is strange.
"That's it, I'm afraid that he will ask me about Yang Xin, but I don't know how to say it." Wei Jia brought reinforcements last time, so she deliberately looked for her for Yang Xian, but Yang Xin seemed to really let go, and she was not nosy.
"I look fine." Yuan Cheng thought that Wei Jia was a good man, whether it was archery or war, he was not affected by the slightest affection of his children.
Mo Zi also knew, "He asked me once, it was because I felt awkward." You two talk, I'll go to sleep. ”
So when Wei Jia entered the cabin, only Yuan Cheng waited.
"The emperor sent me as a welcome envoy to escort Yuan Xiang with a hundred ships, no, it is Lord Sikong." Falling out of love makes a man grow, the battlefield makes a man mature, Wei Jia's appearance as a big boy is no longer seen, his face is sharpened with edges and corners, and his eyes are calm.
"Thank you General Wei, no, it's a general." Don't look at his way of doing things and being upright, Yuan Cheng actually admires honest people in his bones.
Wei Jia arched his hand, "Don't dare, it's just a promotion, it's not as good as the big people." Brother Zhizhou, I also heard that you are happy to win Lin'er, congratulations. You're turning a year old, right? ”
"It's really a blink of an eye, and I suddenly feel old." Yuan Cheng pretended to be joking in Lao Suo's tone, and said solemnly, "Since the emperor sent you to welcome me, I want to come to Daqiu Wang and send someone to the side." ”
Wei Jia nodded yes, "I'll go south, Bai Yu will go." Before I came, the emperor asked me to bring a few more words, so I will come to see you as soon as I enter the port. ”
Yuan Cheng sighed, "What words?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not just King Su who colludes with Daqiu." Although he knew that Yuan Cheng was careful in employing people, Wei Jia couldn't help but lower his voice.
Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows and groaned, and only said after a while, "Who else?" ”
"It has not yet been clarified. Bai Yu originally investigated the murder of the prince, but later because of King Su's rebellion and the border emergency, the investigation was interrupted for a while. But not long after King Su's defeat, someone who had served the prince secretly passed the news to Bai Yu, saying that he knew who killed the prince, but at that time we all knew that the prince died at the hands of the Daqiu cavalry, and King Su let them in. Of course, Bai Yu went to meet the man, but the man did not appear, and there was no news from him. Wei Jia looked at Yuan Cheng.
Yuan Cheng saw him like this, "Brother Wei, don't ask me, I've been away from Da Zhou for a long time, and I can't guess at will." ”
Wei Jia grinned, "I know." Either someone is joking, or the person is killed. Another thing, King Jing intercepted a batch of sī cargo ships containing iron ore in the northern rapids, and all of them committed suicide afterwards, but it is certain that they will go to Daqiu. ”
"There are many such trades at the border, and it is impossible to completely ban the waterways." Minerals have always been forbidden to be bought and sold by private merchants, but it is different when you go sī, and you can sell what you can't sell.
"The emperor said that if you tell you about this, and you don't seem to care, let me remind you that the Great Zhou is an ally of the Song Land." Wei Jia saw that Yuan Cheng was not indifferent.
Yuan Cheng squinted slightly, "The emperor means to let me intervene, during the peace talks?" ”
"The emperor just hopes that you can help us and don't stand idly by." Wei Jia has always thought that Yuan Cheng is a genius, but he is very good. The emperor probably knew about it too, so he put pressure on him.
"Then it depends on chance." Yuan Cheng's answer was not perfunctory, but fact, "If everything is peaceful when I am in Shangdu, I can't stop going back just to find this person." ”
"It's nature." But as long as he agrees to help, things will take a turn for the better, Wei Jia believes.
After Wei Jia left, Yuan Cheng told Mo Zi about it.
"Are there any other people who collude with Daqiu?" Mo Zi was surprised.
"There are many holes under the prosperity, but no one can deny the benevolence of the Great Zhou Emperor. It's just the benevolence of the king, and it is difficult to suppress the greed of the minister. After fratricidal fighting, if there is another infighting—" Some things don't have to be said too directly, he knows she understands.
"It is a natural law that prosperity must decline, and our lives are limited, so we can only live in the present." Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep.
At this time, the ship of the Great Seeking King Wuyan also entered the Great Zhou Realm.
According to his promise, a boatload of 100 people, except for the shadow guards, did not bring a single soldier. accompanied by Concubine Ying.
"Prime Minister, is the king resting?" Concubine Ying came to deliver tonic soup.
Duangar Peak, who had just walked out, lowered his head, "Still reading." The mother came just in time, and asked the king to rest early. ”
"Where did he listen to persuasion?" Concubine Ying gave birth to a son three months ago, and Concubine Xiang fell, and she was already the head of the harem. Compared with Concubine Xiang, who arrogantly interfered in the government, she was praised and supported by the ministers when she guarded the harem.
"The king can still listen to Niangniang's words now." Duanger Feng was also satisfied with Concubine Ying's peace and self-control.
Concubine Ying smiled and raised her voice, "Your Majesty, the concubine has boiled the tonic soup, can you take it in But when I heard Wuyan come in, Duangerfeng walked away with a white beard."
Wu Yan raised his head, not in the mood to smile, "You just gave birth to a child, you should rest more." In order to show the goodwill of the peace talks, he brought Concubine Ying with him.
"When the king drank this soup, the concubines went to rest." Concubine Ying brought the soup bowl.
Wu Yan finished drinking, "Go ahead, you can help Gu win this game if you have enough spirits." ”
Concubine Ying suddenly faced lù difficult sè.
"How?" Uyan asked.
"Wang, there is something uncomfortable in the hearts of the concubines, can you ask?" Concubine Ying whispered softly.
"Just ask." Uyan looked at her. The good thing about Concubine Ying is that she never puts pressure on him, whether it is emotional or state affairs.
"I heard that Yuan Xiang brought his wife with him this time, and the concubine will definitely meet her, I wonder if I can let the concubine try it and save her heart for the king?" Concubine Ying lowered her eyes.
"Redemption?" Wu Yan laughed twice, and then his eyes tightened for a moment, "She has given birth to another man." is so ruthless, why should I be lonely. "The words are cold, and the heart aches.
Concubine Ying didn't say more, and while exiting to close the door lightly, Chún tilted up.
