Chapter 373: Fear
Then, Emperor Xirong took the initiative to withdraw his troops and make peace, demanding that the goods be exchanged for the crown prince.
Xijon is definitely the most treacherous country, in the past, Xirong and Daxing launched a war, and after losing, they would take the initiative to sue for peace, either send a few beauties, or send a little material to ask for forgiveness, and then they will be honest for a few years, and then take Xirong's specialties, pretend to pay tribute, in exchange for Daxing's gold, silver, jewelry, and rarity, this time, they obviously fought such an idea again, Su Yuanhou directly scoffed, and ignored it at all.
On the one hand, he refused to receive Xirong's envoys, and on the other hand, he sent people to send the news of Xirong's request for peace back to the capital as soon as possible.
Therefore, as soon as the second field test was held, the emperor received Xirong's request for peace.
The ministers in the court were directly divided into three factions, one faction, and agreed to Xirong's proposal to let Xirong sign a contract and never come back for thirty years. Their reasons are also quite sufficient, Beiliang is still staring at Youzhou City, and they can solve the Xirong side first, and only then can they deal with Beiliang without worries.
One faction asked Su Yuanhou to fight back directly, and teach Xirong a lesson, lest they commit it again in the future, how many troops and materials has Daxing lost in the past few years?
Their reasons are also very sufficient, blindly compromising to make the surrounding countries forget that Daxing is also about to win the world, this time since Xirong is not honest, simply use them to kill chickens and monkeys!
There is also a group of completely neutral factions.
The emperor said to fight, then beat the emperor and said that he was peaceful, they are courtiers, as long as they listen to the emperor's orders.
It seems that these people are the most finished, they eat people's food and don't do people's affairs, and they don't dare to speak out, and the officials of this faction are also squeezed out by the other two factions.
The court quarreled endlessly, and after the next court, the emperor left some ministers and several sons to discuss business, the prince was the main faction, the second was polite and polite, and naturally the main and that faction, and the seventh became a neutral faction because he was frustrated and did not dare to speak at will.
Ye Hanyu and his father-in-law looked at each other without saying a word.
Gu Xian: [Mingxi must have already started the exam, and I don't know if the questions in this meeting are difficult? 】
Ye Hanyu: [The princess went to Zhuangzi with her fifth sister-in-law without saying a word, it's been two days, and she has no intention of coming back. Without the princess by my side, I didn't get two nights of rest. 】
Weng and his son-in-law traveled together, the key was because they deliberately stood back, Ye Hanyu could still hear the voice of the old man, and now the two of them were caught by the emperor when they were distracted together, so the emperor named him.
"Gu Aiqing, what do you think?"
Gu Xian suddenly retracted his thoughts, and then took a step to cautiously and respectfully reply, "Back to the emperor's words, did the battle report of Marquis Su Yuan write about the total casualties of our side, how many losses the people were, and the restoration of the city after the war?" ”
Emperor: "No. ”
In addition to the casualties of soldiers, no general will write about other battles.
"Then, does Xijon have a list of materials that he is willing to give?"
There was indeed a letter of peace submitted by the envoy of Xirong in the memo sent by the Marquis of Suyuan, and the tone was extremely sincere, but the specific materials for compensation were not written.
The emperor first shook his head, and then handed the two letters of the Marquis of Su Yuan, as well as Xirong's letter of request for peace to Li Changhai to Gu Xian.
The generals are very direct in writing the folds, there are no gorgeous words of singing the praises of virtue at the beginning, basically just ask for a peace and then talk about things, the excerpts are also simple and easy to understand, Gu Xian read it in two eyes.
"Since these things are not clear, let's talk about these are useless, according to Weichen's opinion, it is better to let the Marquis of Suyuan send the Prince of Xirong to Beijing first, and by the way, count the losses in the army, the casualties of the soldiers, the loss of weapons, the consumption of grain and grass, these things are more complicated, the things in the city of Ganzhou will be handed over to the Ganzhou prefect for statistics, as big as the city wall houses, as small as a chicken and duck of the people, and when the statistics are good, the prince of Xirong will almost arrive in the capital, and then negotiate, they are willing to compensate according to the price and give a certain compensation, We can release people, if Xijon doesn't agree, hehe......"
Everyone in the hall: This hehe, it's really good!
Because everyone understands the meaning of this, that is, if Xirong doesn't give silver, then hit it directly, anyway, Prince Xirong is in hand, they are afraid of a ball!
The emperor thinks more, now Beiliang is still eyeing the tiger and has not given up the idea of attacking Daxing, it is not a bad thing to quickly solve Xirong, but he also does not want to suffer, Gu Xian's method is wonderful, the prince of Xirong can delay for about a month when he enters Beijing, and the envoys of Xirong will come to the peace talks again, and it can be delayed for a while, so the Beiliang side that is dragged around may be able to solve it, even if Xirong does not obediently give money, Daxing can go all the way west and hit Xirong's lair!
When you think about it, there's no better way to deal with it.
Moreover, the courtiers who were originally divided into three factions, but in fact there were only two factions, all raised their hands in favor of this method of disposition, and no one could say anything against it.
The eyes of the second and seventh princes looking at Gu Xian were all with a hint of jealousy, and they all came up with an idea at this time, if Gu Xian had good luck and was transferred to Beijing a few years ago, maybe one of the positions of prime minister would be his.
They are now really grateful to the officials who once stumbled on Gu Xian's way to promotion.
They quietly looked at Ye Hanyu again: [Fortunately, the sixth child doesn't want to fight, otherwise, with such a father-in-law, what else can't the sixth do? 】
Ye Hanyu, who was inexplicably envious, jealous and hated: ...... What's my business again? Well, my father-in-law's business is really my business!
After listening to Gu Xian's speech, these old ministers are angry!
Damn Gu Xian, he has such a good idea, why didn't he say it in the morning?
caused so many of them to be summoned to the Chaoyang Hall and punished for standing for a long time.
Especially the military department Shangshu, a person in his fifties, really stands with a leg ache.
So after the emperor made a final decision to let everyone retreat, everyone left Chaoyang Palace silently, and when they got out of the city gate, those old ministers surrounded Gu Xian at once, and they all had a cold face, and they opened their mouths and began to count Gu Xian.
Gu Xian was squeezed in the middle and wanted to speak but didn't give everyone a chance, wanted to say but couldn't say it, and was misunderstood by the three princes who came out together as annoyed and angry, and then looked at the reactions of several important ministers, they all breathed a sigh of relief: What if you have the ability? As far as Gu Xian's unpleasant temperament is concerned, it is estimated that he can only drag the sixth child back.
So the three of them left with peace of mind.
Then after the three of them left, things didn't turn out the way they imagined.
