Chapter 3: Hurricanes (1)
"This letter is indeed true! I found four copies of my father's handwriting to compare them, and I also privately sent someone to find Feng Ji, a foreign man from Tuntian, to verify it, and they were all sure that this letter was written by my father!" Zheng Ziming put a mulberry paper bag with worn corners on the table, his tired eyes bloodshot. Eㄟ.
"Impossible!" As soon as the words fell, Tao Sanchun was the first to jump up and refuse to believe it. In her heart, her fiancé is a hero of the world, so the hero's father must also be a good man who would rather die than give in, "Gong, how could my uncle write such a letter? He should know the consequences! His handwriting, his handwriting is very easy to see, and it is very ...... to imitate."
"You haven't seen the viciousness of the Khitans. Chang Wanying secretly glanced at Zheng Ziming's face and interrupted in a low voice, "If they want their uncle to write a letter, there are countless means to force their uncle to comply." Besides, the uncle is over there, not only alone, but also a few aunts, as well as Ziming's sister and ......"
"Brother and sister, the point is not here!" Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that Zheng Ziming would make a mistake in a hurry, so he also stood up and hurriedly interjected, "The point is how we deal with this matter." I propose that the Khitan who delivered the letter be killed immediately, along with all his retinue!"
"Without further ado, I'll do it now!" Tao Sanchun's elder brother Tao Dachun got up decisively and rushed out the door.
"I'll go with you!" Li Shun also pulled his legs to catch up, lest he go too slowly, so that the Khitan messenger would take the opportunity to slip away.
"Don't ......" Zheng Ziming instinctively reached out to stop him, and his arm was halfway raised, but he hung down weakly.
Although Zhao Kuangyin's method is a little ruthless, it is the best solution that can be taken out at the moment. As long as the messenger disappears unconsciously, the Liao side will not be able to judge whether he has received a letter of surrender from his father. In the next step, whether the Liao monarch planned to torture his father or directly deal with himself, he was delayed by the need to determine the whereabouts of the messenger first.
"Whew!" a low exhalation sounded in all directions. On everyone's faces, there was no trace of joy at the slightest of winning a big victory on the battlefield. For the big guys, compared to defeating Liu Hao, Zhao Kuo, who is talking on paper, how to deal with the conspiracy of the Khitan monarchs and ministers is the real challenge.
Although Zhao Kuangyin's method can buy Zheng Ziming half a month to a month or so, it does not solve any problems. And once Yelu Ruan Junchen is now Zheng Ziming deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb, Shi Chonggui's side is afraid that there will be more than lucky.
The big guys were all born to their parents, so no one dared to persuade Zheng Ziming in public to abandon the stone and ignore the preciousness, and concentrate on the newly established Great Zhou to gain fame. And if Shi Chonggui personally wrote a letter to persuade Zheng Ziming to surrender, the news would inevitably cause the whirlpool of life that had plagued the latter for many years to reappear, making him unrestless day and night.
"Ziming don't have to worry, Your Majesty has me over there!" As Zheng Ziming's sworn brother and the adopted son of the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei, Chai Rong knew that he was not qualified to remain silent at this time, "My father-in-law is by no means the kind of person who is suspicious when he hears a little rumor, and this sowing discord by the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State is destined to have no effect." ”
"Then Brother Lao will write a letter to the emperor to explain one or two!" Zheng Ziming was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he didn't know what to do to get out of the predicament. Hearing Chai Rong's words, he clenched his fists and surrendered his hands without thinking.
"Writing a letter may not be clear, I'll explain to Zheng Shuai and leave, and rush back to Bianliang in the starry night!" Chai Rong knew that the stakes were high, shook his head, and solemnly added.
"Whew—" Hearing this, the crowd exhaled a long breath again. Although his face is still solemn, the pressure in his heart is much lighter than before.
Yelu Ruan's conspiracy to force Shi Chonggui to write a letter to Zheng Ziming to persuade him to surrender is vicious, no matter whether Zheng Ziming should deal with it or not, how to deal with it, it can have the miraculous effect of killing several birds with one stone. And Chai Rong's promise can at least alleviate Zheng Ziming's worries, and he doesn't have to deal with the Khitans at the same time, but also beware of the court suddenly becoming suspicious of him and killing him in the back.
"Ziming, Yuen Long, in my opinion, Brother Chai must not leave at this time!" Before the exhalation subsided, Fu Ying suddenly took half a step forward and retorted loudly.
The children of the Guo and Fu families are about to get married, which is already a sure fact. Zhao Kuangyin, Zheng Ziming, Chang Wanying, Tao Sanchun and others have long regarded Fu Ying as their eldest sister-in-law. Hearing her eagerness at this moment, they all turned their heads and said, "Why can't you leave?"
"Sister-in-law, you have always been quick-witted, please make your words clearer!"
"The battle has been fought, and it is impossible for Liu Hanguo to put together a third army in a short time!"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean......"
"I mean, there may be people in the DPRK and China who will take advantage of the question. Fu Ying smiled and nodded apologetically at Chai Rong, "Your Majesty has a magnificent bearing, and he will definitely not fall for the Khitans." But it is inevitable that some people in the court are short-sighted and play right and wrong. ”
"Then, then I, Zheng Shuai and I will each write a letter and send it back to Bianliang with eight hundred miles in an expedited manner!" Chai Rong's face suddenly turned red, and he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said.
Fu Ying's words just now, in order to protect his face, deliberately said very vaguely. But he immediately understood what it meant. His adoptive father Guo Wei is upright and upright, but the people around his adoptive father cannot all be frank gentlemen. Especially Wang Jun and Wang Xiufeng, who were named privy envoys and Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhang because of their miraculous achievements, originally saw that Zheng Ziming was not pleasing to the eye, but this time he finally caught the actual handle, and I am afraid that he will have to toss a storm.
And if Wang Jun is not in the army when he is stirring up the wind and rain in the court, Zheng Ziming will have the possibility of "supporting the army and respecting himself". With Wang Jun's insidiousness, it may be easy to turn "possibility" into "fact"!
"You and Yuen Long have to stay, this letter can't be delivered by ordinary people!" Seeing that Chai Rong had a good relationship with him, Fu Ying nodded at him with satisfaction, "If you go eight hundred miles and expeditiously, you may not be able to send it to Your Majesty as soon as possible." Preferably ......"
Her gaze quickly looked around, and finally fell on Gao Huaide's face, "General Gao, you are probably the most suitable person to deliver the letter." The riding skills are excellent, the work is safe, and the position is high enough, from here to the palace, all the way can be unimpeded!"
"...... me?" Gao Huaide was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't understand why he could make such an impression on Fu Ying, but Zhao Kuangyin admired Fu Ying's strategic level. He pushed Gao Huaide hard from the side, and said loudly, "Who else is more suitable besides you?" Ziming is in trouble, of course Brother Chai and I have to accompany him to tide over the difficulties. Among the few of us, you have the best riding skills, this time you have the greatest merit, Ling Zun and His Majesty have a good relationship, and now Zheng Shuai needs someone to go back to Bianliang to report to His Majesty, who are you going to go?"
