Chapter 293: Pouting
Didn't the murderer hang himself in prison, whether this was a coincidence, or someone was behind the scenes, it was not clear, Fan Liyang went to Prince Ren's mansion to say goodbye to Wen Jin, he wanted to arrange things at home, and when he came to the capital to study, Qian Jun sent a few guards to send him, and Fan Liyang left with great gratitude. Wen Jin's letter to Xiao Yuchen has been sent out quickly, and she believes that her younger brother will definitely use thunderous means to deal with the affairs of the two aunts of the Fan family, so that Fan Liyang and Fan Chongyang can study with peace of mind.
Entrusted by Qian Jun, Guo's father-in-law invited Bao'er to dinner in the most high-end hotel in the capital, Wuyuan, and asked about his family's suffering. In fact, Guo Gonggong knows all these things, and this move is nothing more than to let some people know that Lai Baoer is covered by him, and whoever wants to do anything crookedly, it is best not to let him Guo Gonggong know. Soon, Lai Bao'er took the Gujishi exam and entered the Hanlin Academy to train, but he was all alone, and he was no longer accompanied by a bodyguard at any time.
The few who fought with Qian Jun were also in the court, where did they dare to provoke Gonggong Guo? Whoever provokes Gonggong Guo is equivalent to writing on his face that he wants to oppose the emperor, and they don't want to die.
Wen Jin and Qian Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and then their attention was attracted by another thing - two months ago, Huluner and Mao Dun had a battle, both sides had their own victories and defeats, but their respective territories had changed, and the Northern Desert Grassland bordering Jurong belonged to Huluner, Huluner in order to concentrate on dealing with Mao Dun, asked to be friendly with Jurong Dynasty, he submitted his credentials at the border pass in northern Xinjiang, and Jurong Chaotang immediately blew up, and the two factions that agreed and opposed quarreled into a pot of porridge.
Shen Mingzhao strongly advocated peace talks, and the reason was very simple: "The war has a huge impact on the people of the two countries, and on the premise of maintaining the interests and dignity of the imperial court, it is not impossible to negotiate peace with the Tartars."
Dong Jincai resolutely objected: "After two years of preparation, we are now strong and strong, and no one is afraid, why do we want peace talks?" The Tartars have a chance to recuperate, and they will definitely be able to turn from weak to strong, and then turn around to deal with us, isn't this a tiger for trouble? ”
At that time, Shen Mingzhao did not answer, and Gao Tingfeng, a scholar, stepped forward: "The border is peaceful, and the Tartars can rest and recuperate, can't we?" In two years, how well we can prepare, everyone in the court can imagine it, right? In recent years, the three northern provinces have been in drought for many years, and the court has distributed a large amount of relief grain. And who knows if there is enough food in the storehouse? Also, what about natural disasters? Who can estimate whether there will be natural disasters in the future? Is this natural disaster local, or does it involve multiple provinces and places? Surrender to the enemy without a fight, this is the best policy, we did not lose a soldier, in exchange for the Tartar Hulun Er Department bowed down to the vassals, this is my emperor's grace, God's gift, why should we refuse? Why do you have to put the people and soldiers of northern Xinjiang in danger? ”
Emperor Yongchang felt that this was a good saying, the situation of the war was changing rapidly, he fought in the Western Xinjiang for two years, although he won in the end, but at the beginning he was tightly pressed by the Tartars, and suffered defeats, the suffocating sense of oppression, he will never forget. At this moment, he knew that what Dong Jincai said was wrong, it was not the well-prepared side that would definitely achieve victory, the time and place were favorable, and the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, what if the Tartars seized an opportunity and drove in? You must know that Shangjing is only a thousand miles away from the northern frontier, that is, the Tartar let go of the horse's hooves, and he will never take risks easily after two or three days of travel.
Dong Jincai said unconvinced: "Who said that the Tartars bowed their heads? Didn't say that at all, Huluner just proposed peaceful coexistence. ”
Gao Tingfeng said unconvinced: "It's not peaceful coexistence, it's harmony, what he proposed is harmony." ”
Dong Jin knew that the emperor had few heirs and was reluctant to marry his daughter far away, so he resolutely objected: "Harmony? Who is savage and pro-with them? How can a royal woman be exiled to the outer lands if she is of noble blood? ”
Gao Tingfeng's face turned red, and he argued forcefully: "Who said that a woman from the royal family must marry outside?" Couldn't Hulun send his blood sisters and sisters to marry the children of the clan? ”
Shen Mingzhao bowed down and walked out of class: "What Lord Gao said is extremely true, and I ask the emperor to decide." ”
Dong Jincai hurriedly came out, and it was too late if he didn't speak at the moment. He didn't see this situation once or twice, Shen Mingzhao didn't speak or didn't speak, once he spoke out, and no one pressed him, the emperor would definitely do what he wanted: "Your Majesty, from the west to the north of Xinjiang, how many of our people and soldiers have died under the iron hooves of the Tartars, this sea of blood is deep, and it is difficult to write a book, we can't accept their request for peace, how can the deceased be blinded, and how can the living be embarrassed?" ”
Emperor Yongchang waved his hand: "The war is dangerous, Lord Dong has never been to the front line, you don't understand, if you don't go to war, it's better not to see each other." What's more, it is the time for the Tartars to come to our door, and it is the time to raise the prestige of our country, and we must not be reckless. ”
Dong Jincai was so angry that he almost fell backwards, but it was easy to hold back his anger and bowed: "The emperor is sage!" ”
Emperor Yongchang was tired of listening to these words and did not say anything.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Prince Ren has been to the Huluner Department three times and is familiar with the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, so in order to settle the dispute as soon as possible, it is better to agree to the request of the Tartars and send Lord Qian to the Huluner Department." Dong Jincai came out again.
"No!" How could Shen Mingzhao see his nephew in danger again? As soon as he changed his habit of not saying much in the past, he immediately objected: "When the Tartars ask for peace talks, they will naturally send envoys to show sufficient sincerity." ”
Emperor Yongchang nodded: "Shen Aiqing thinks that it is better to preside over the affairs of peace talks?" ”
The military department Shangshu Sheng Yan came out of the class and said: "Lord Gao, Lord Gao is keen, calm, thoughtful, loyal to the imperial court, and is the most suitable person." However, in order to prevent the Tartars from conspiring, Prince Ren had to help. ”
Several people in the court thought the proposal was a good idea, and they agreed together: "Yes, yes, this is the best match." ”
Emperor Yongchang understood what his courtiers meant, Gao Tingfeng came clearly, and Qian Jun controlled the situation through the secret guard, preventing accidents, one bright and one dark, echoing each other to ensure that things could go smoothly. He nodded: "What Sheng Aiqing said is extremely true. Without waiting for Dong Jin to say anything more, he had already waved his hand to let the waiting Hanlin draft the order. When he went home in the next dynasty, the more Dong Jincai thought about it, the more angry he became, he must not be pressed down like this, and the northern Xinjiang could not be safely settled, if the four seas were peaceful and the people lived in peace, Shen Mingzhao would be able to firmly occupy the position of the first assistant, so what else could he sing? At this moment, he received a letter from the military camp in Northern Xinjiang, and the next day, Dong Jincai gave the emperor a good idea: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the eldest princess of the Hulun Er Department is beautiful and beautiful, if they really want to make peace, why don't they send their sister to Shangjing and contribute to the emperor?" Didn't they say that marriage was the best way to go? Emperor Yongchang waved his hand: "How vulgar and barbaric are the Tartar women, how can such a woman enter the palace?" ”
