Section 17 Opening and Sealing

After entering the court with everyone, I continued to sit beside the emperor's eldest brother without saying a word, and the ministers entered the column to greet the Hun envoy!

This time, Da Shan Yu came to our Yongzhou with another envoy, this person was full of righteousness, and immediately entered the hall with countless gifts and entourage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The envoy didn't say anything, reached out and took out a piece of parchment from his cuff, opened his mouth and read out the edict directly: "The Great Hun Empire Dorha Dadan Yu Zhao said: The suffering of the Yongguo and the state is known, and the envoy carries a thin gift to show comfort!"

After speaking, the envoy closed the edict and said to the official beside him: "Salute!"

The Xiongnu ceremonial officer immediately spread out the gift list in his hand and read aloud: "3,000 stones of grain, 100 horses, 200 cattle and sheep, 30 carts of silk cloth, 10 boxes of gold and jewelry, the ceremony is over!"

After hearing this, the ministers were jubilant, and everyone was overjoyed by this generous gift, no one expected that Da Dan Yu's shot would be so generous!

The envoy spread out the edict and continued to read: "The matter of the New Year's aid and the opening of the border that the lower state asks for can also be allowed in this order! However, the thieves in the empire rebelled in Hanoi, and the grain and grass were all supplied to the war to help the lower state, and the thieves successively seized Yingchuan, Sanchuan and Dongjun, and the thief army occupied the land of the four counties, blocking the north-south communication of our empire, and the thieves were so powerful that they could not be eliminated! This single has ordered Li Chengzu, the guard of Nanyang County, to lead 100,000 troops to the north to suppress the thieves, and hope that the lower state will send 50,000 troops to Luyang to round with my Nanyang army, and then wave the army north to put down the rebellion! Remembering the existing famine in Xiabang, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of grain and grass, so I have prepared enough grain and grass for Xiabang in Luyang, so the army of Xiabang only needs to bring a few days of food and immediately rush north to Luyang. If the lower state can help me go north to exterminate the thieves, the first victory will be the day when the lower state will come to the aid of the lower state! If the lower state is unwilling to go north to help in the war, its selfishness will be obvious, and this is ignoring the brotherhood between our two countries! If this is the case, when the thieves in Hanoi are pacified, it will be the day when our Great Xiongnu Empire will take Yongzhou in the west! Where should we go, please take care of it!"

After reading it, the Hun envoy closed the edict, turned around and left immediately with his entourage, no matter how the ministers called, the envoy never looked back!

After the Xiongnu envoy left, there was chaos in the court, and the threat of war was not a joke, and the ministers were anxious about their lives.

Prime Minister Wang Cheng was silent, as if he didn't want to express any opinion on this, and Uncle Huang also stood aside coldly, judging from the attitudes of the two of them, it seemed that they didn't plan to send troops north.

After a while, Prime Minister Wang Cheng slowly spoke: "Just let our army go north with a few days' food into the enemy's territory, this is a dead end!"

Uncle Huang also spoke: "This rebellion is huge, the four counties are all in the hands of the rebels, the border of the Xiongnu country can no longer communicate with the north and the south, and it is not known whether Da Dan Yu can quell the rebellion! If the Xiongnu Empire is in chaos from now on, then it will be just around the corner for our Yongguo to return to the Central Plains!"

Queen Meng was skeptical when she heard this, although the emperor's uncle was right, she was still not very relieved.

At this time, Xiao Qing suddenly walked out from the courtiers, she saluted Empress Meng, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, Hanoi County is a small county, and Sanchuan, Yingchuan, and Dongjun are not big, and the rebels are a group of refugees, and it is difficult for the Hun Empire to become a group of refugees! The Xiongnu Empire has millions of soldiers, and it is only sooner or later to quell such a rebellion, so we must not be lucky about this!"

Prime Minister Wang Cheng nodded and agreed: "Lord Fengchang is reasonable, and the old minister also agrees!

Uncle Huang retorted: "The prime minister said before that sending troops to the north is a dead end, and this time he said that he shouldn't refuse, what does the prime minister mean?"

Prime Minister Wang Cheng smiled coldly and said: "Lord Wang, the Xiongnu envoy's momentum has been seen by everyone, and the Huns don't want to discuss with us at all, this is the meaning of the ultimatum! If he refuses to send troops to the north, then Da Dan Yu will definitely not go back on his word since he has already spoken, and he will definitely raise a large army to take Yongzhou! With the current strength of our Dayong country, how can he refuse?"

Uncle Huang asked coldly: "In this case, who does the prime minister think should be sent to lead the troops, and how many troops should be sent?"

Wang Zhe smiled slightly: "This time I joined forces with the Xiongnu to quell the rebellion, and we should take the opportunity to show the military prestige of our Dayong country, so that they will not dare to offend our Dayong country in the future, so I was elected as a good general to lead the troops to go out to show the prestige of my Yong army!

After hearing this, the imperial uncle was furious, and he said loudly: "There are many dangers in going to the enemy territory, and most of them have gone and have no return! This king was ordered by the former emperor to command the three armies, and tried his best to ensure that the land of our Dayong country cannot be lost, and this king is not afraid of life and death, but how can he abandon the land and go north? Could it be that the prime minister intends to replace this king in commanding the three armies?"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang laughed happily, he shook his head again and again and said: "How dare you dare, the old minister is a civil minister, how can he command the three armies! The prince is handsome, and no one in my country can match it, and the old minister also thinks that the prince should stay in Yongzhou!"

Uncle Huang said coldly: "Then let Mengjia go!"

Empress Meng was a little excited when she heard this, and she suddenly said: "No, Meng Jia is shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding Yongzhou, and the Beijing Master cannot afford to lose, and Meng Jia can't go!"

Empress Meng is really pitiful, this Mengjia is her cousin, and he is also the only military general in the hands of the queen, and it is also her only military support for entering the palace! If you transfer Mengjia Yongzhou, there is no guarantee, and the imperial uncle who has military power can seize Yongzhou at any time and proclaim himself emperor! Even if the imperial uncle does not have such thoughts at this time, once Mengjia leaves Yongzhou, I am afraid that the imperial uncle will be unable to resist this temptation!

Uncle Huang really reacted quickly, and he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, how can the general of the country be safe if he does not protect the Jingshi? If Mengjia goes north, this king will also personally garrison Yongzhou, and Yongzhou will be foolproof! I hope that Her Majesty the Empress will put the overall situation first!"

Seeing that Uncle Huang's conspiracy was about to succeed, Empress Meng was so anxious that tears were about to fall out, and she looked at me pitifully, pinning all her hopes on me, hoping that I could resolve this crisis for her.

At this time, I kept very calm and didn't say a word from beginning to end, because every time I said a wrong word, the royal family would be more dangerous, and Prime Minister Wang, an old immortal, was waiting to watch the show. No, he also turned his gaze to me, as if his real target was still aimed at me!

Sure enough, as I expected, Prime Minister Wang immediately spoke: "Oh, the old minister almost forgot, isn't this still His Royal Highness the Prince who is wise and martial? His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you say a word? The old man heard that His Royal Highness the Prince had incarnated as a fairy child and entered the Nanshan Mountain of Fangling to successfully exterminate the mountain bandits, so that there will be no bandits in my Yongzhou territory since then, and His Royal Highness the Prince is known to everyone, and he is also a suitable candidate to lead the army to the north!"

Empress Meng suddenly got up, pointed at Prime Minister Wang Cheng and scolded angrily: "Ridiculous! My Jue'er is only ten years old, how can I lead the army to the battle!"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang immediately bowed and saluted, and replied quietly: "I first Qin Gu had a young genius Ganluo, who was also a twelve-year-old envoy to Zhao State, and between his lips and tongue, he made Great Qin get more than ten cities in Zhao State, and then Ganluo was promoted to Shangqing because of this, and his merits will be passed down through the ages! His Royal Highness the Prince is a genius of the world, how can Ganluo be compared, His Royal Highness the Prince personally led the army to lead the expedition, which is bound to impress Da Dan, and also understand the majesty of my Dayong country!" If His Royal Highness the Prince can show his might on one of the battlefields, the world will know that my Dayong State has the genius of His Royal Highness the Prince, then Da Shan Yu will definitely treat my Dayong Kingdom with courtesy, and my Dayong Kingdom can sit back and relax!"

Empress Meng was trembling all over her body, her emotions were uncontrollable, and she cried bitterly: "Wang Zhe, what are your intentions, why do you have to break up my mother and son, you are too arrogant, it is simply presumptuous!

When Wang Cheng saw that Empress Meng was angry, he immediately knelt down in front of the palace, bowed his head and said coldly: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister just focuses on the overall situation, and he is absolutely selfless!"

Originally, I thought that Uncle Huang would stand up and say a few fair words, but unexpectedly, he also fell to his knees without saying a word, refusing to say a word!

I have already been out of anger when I bullied that poor Empress Meng like this! This old guy Wang Zhe has obvious intentions, and this is obviously deliberately taking the opportunity to eradicate me, so that he can monopolize the power of the court and control the royal family in the future!

Everyone in the main hall was silent, only the sad cry of Queen Meng could be heard!

Suddenly, a general got up from the group of ministers, he rushed to the front, stretched out his hand and pulled out his long sword, pointed at Wang Zhe and scolded sharply: "Wang Zhe, you are so hard to force Queen Meng and His Royal Highness the Prince, so rebellious, do you want to rebel?"

Wang Zhe was shocked when he heard this, and immediately kowtowed to Queen Meng and said: "The old minister does not dare! The old minister is loyal to my great country, and he has never had selfish intentions! The prince is the son and grandson of the Ying family, and he should stand up in the face of national disaster, and the old minister suffers from not knowing the art of war, otherwise he will sacrifice his life for the country and never give up!"

This Wang Zhe was really cunning, and the general couldn't answer, and then the general had to turn around and plead with the imperial uncle: "Uncle Huang, you have something to say, this is your own nephew!"

Uncle Huang straightened up, raised his head and sighed: "I have no handsome talents in the country, and this king can't leave the country, what can I say?"

At this time, Xiao Qing got up and walked out, and she said loudly: "Ministers, it has been more than a year since the death of the first emperor! Now Empress Meng is still called the queen, and Wang Zijue is still called the prince! The new emperor has been on the throne for a long time, and it is really inappropriate to still call the queen and His Royal Highness the prince like this! On this expedition, the Prime Minister strongly recommended His Royal Highness the Prince to be the commander-in-chief, should His Royal Highness the Prince be appropriately titled?"

Prime Minister Wang immediately replied: "Of course, since His Royal Highness the prince led the troops to the battle, he should naturally be awarded the corresponding official position! The old minister is that the post of lieutenant has been vacant, and it is none other than the prince, I don't know if the prince can agree!"

Uncle Huang replied coldly: "This king has no objection!"

Xiao Qing immediately asked again: "But His Royal Highness the Prince was born in the royal family, how can he only have an official position and no title!"

Uncle Huang said directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince is His Majesty's compatriot and brother, and he should have a suitable title, and he must not insult His Royal Highness's identity, and he should be crowned as the king of one side." ”

At this time, Prime Minister Wang Cheng immediately spoke: "What Uncle Huang said is reasonable! Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that His Royal Highness the Prince be appointed King of Hanzhong, lead the two counties of Hanzhong and Baima, and then hold a formal sealing ceremony when His Royal Highness the Prince sets out to triumph!"

After hearing this, Empress Meng sat down sluggishly, because I was afraid that the matter of my expedition was decided because of this, and she was in despair! Above the court, Empress Meng had no right to govern, everything was controlled by Prime Minister Wang, and the desolation shocked me.

The prime minister grinned, turned his head and asked the emperor, "Can the emperor agree?"

Uncle Huang opened his mouth and said coldly: "If my imperial nephew can return triumphantly, he should be the king of Hanzhong and Baima counties, and this king will also agree! If he can add Ba County for the king of Hanzhong, this king will also approve even more!"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang laughed, got up and replied: "Okay, that's it! I beg Your Majesty the Queen, if Her Royal Highness the Prince can return triumphantly, he will be crowned the King of Hanzhong and lead the three places of Hanzhong, Baima and Bajun!

These two fellows, seeing that I was going to never return, did not hesitate to draw me a big cake to eat! In their opinion, I would definitely not be able to come back alive in the future, so they desperately gave me all the land, and anyway, I didn't have the life to get these lands, so it didn't matter to them!

Hey, a ten-year-old child leads troops to the battle, not only to go into battle to kill the enemy, but also to only bring a few days of rations to go deep into the territory of the Huns, this is a hundred ways to die, but there is no way to live! No wonder Empress Meng is so heartbroken, this is by no means a task that a ten-year-old child can complete, even if Sun Bin is alive, it is difficult to do.

But I'm not really winning, and I'm not really only ten years old! In fact, they don't know, what I, Xiao Feng, is best at is swordsmanship, let me lead the army to fight, then this is just using my strength!

Of course, I didn't show any joy because of this, this leading soldiers to fight is not like fighting alone, those are completely two concepts!

And if I keep silent at this time, they will think that I am completely frightened and completely ungood at this, so that they have not taken precautions and desperately increase my title and territory! They don't want to think that if I can really return triumphantly, then most of the territory of Yongguo will be my fiefdom, and if I am in charge of the national army as a lieutenant, then the royal family will be able to make a splash, from nothing to directly control the entire Yongguo!

Just when I was thinking about it, Prime Minister Wang immediately instructed the eunuch and said, "Why don't you hurry up and get the seal letter of the Taiwei for the king of Hanzhong!"

The chief eunuch was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Empress Meng, but Empress Meng sat there paralyzed and did not respond! The chief eunuch had to look at me, and when he saw that I also bowed my head and said nothing, he sighed, and then turned around to get the letter.

I saw from the afterglow that Prime Minister Wang Cheng was smiling proudly, while Uncle Huang was silent with a solemn expression, and I didn't know what Uncle Huang was thinking!

Hey, flesh and blood relatives are useless, when the imperial uncle only thinks about himself, how can he care about my life and death! After my death, it is also beneficial to him, because as soon as I die, the throne will have many fewer obstacles for him!

Above the court, the chief eunuch sealed the official seal for our line, and the ministers all knelt on the ground!

When I accepted the position of Tai Lieutenant, the military general who had drawn his sword from before stepped forward and pleaded with me: "The last general, Han Cheng, is willing to follow Lord Tai Wei to the north to quell the rebellion!"

Driven by Han Cheng, several hot-blooded generals stepped forward to ask Ying to go on the expedition, all willing to return to my subordinates!

I was overjoyed to hear this, and in this way, even if my prestige in the army has been initially established, there are already countless generals who are willing to follow me!

After some discussion between the emperor and Prime Minister Wang Cheng, it was finally decided that the general of Dayong would appoint an army of 30,000 to be led by the new Taiwei to go to Luyang County to fight Li Chengzu!

In the evening, in the bedroom of Queen Meng, Queen Meng hugged me and cried bitterly, as if she was parting with me in life and death!

I smiled and helped Queen Meng up, comforted her and said, "The queen mother doesn't need to be sad, the sons will return triumphantly, and the sons have confidence in this!"

Empress Meng wiped her tears, shook her head, and said: "The queen mother knows that the emperor is filial, and deliberately comforts the queen mother in this way! This battlefield is no better than the court, and the slightest carelessness will kill the enemy! I have no talent in the country, so I can only let the emperor carry the burden early! The queen mother, the queen mother is really useless!"

After speaking, Queen Meng hugged me again and tore me and cried bitterly!

Despite all my efforts to comfort her, she ignored her and cried very sadly. Because she knew that I really wasn't sure this time, and everything was out of control!
