Chapter 71: Another New Beginning
The Lan County patrol arrived in Lan County in the early morning.
To put it simply, it is a joint investigation team composed of the Governor of the North, the Shaanxi Political Division, the Judicial Division, and the Metropolitan Command Envoy to conduct a special investigation into the Lanxian Murder Case and dispose of the relevant finances.
Everyone, including Zhu Di, must cooperate with the inquiries and investigations of the inspection.
"Where was Your Highness at the time of the incident, what was he doing, how did he learn the news of the Ma Bandit Extermination Case, and what did he do after learning the news."
"Who can testify to this, please make it clear in every detail, and please don't make it difficult for your subordinates."
Zhu Di was questioned about the criminal participation in the politics of the Northern Governor's Office, and the official positions were called Imperial Envoy Doctor, Imperial History Zhongcheng of the Northern Governor's Office, and Criminal Participation in Political Affairs, and the scope of his duties, the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Governor's Office was under the jurisdiction of the Northern Governor's Office according to the affairs of the Judge.
To summarize it more finely, this is the collection of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department of the Northern Dynasty and the Imperial History.
At this time, the Imperial Historical Observatory had not yet been changed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this was the real power boss in the north.
Not only Zhu Di was angry, but the entire Saibei and even the court were also angry.
There needs to be a result.
However, the information provided by Zhu Di was limited to the report of the Lintao Guard's Command Banner, and everything that was dealt with afterwards.
Although Zhu Di knew about the dirty things, Mao Xiang was right.
He is the son of the old Zhu of the Zhu Dynasty, and in order to maintain the rule of the Zhu Dynasty, he must accept the unspeakable darkness.
Even if someone from the pro-military Governor's Mansion leaked the news, this matter would only stop at Mao Xiang, and it was Mao Xiang who acted arbitrarily.
The inquiry soon ended, and with the departure of the criminal suffrage, the palace once again returned to calm.
Zhu Di can't intervene in this matter, and he won't interfere, and the final investigation results depend on how far these people can investigate.
However.
Compared with the entire Ming Dynasty, the case of destroying the door is just a stone thrown into the vast lake.
How the Ming Dynasty should run is still running as usual.
And at the same time as the inspection arrived in Lan County.
The Ministry of Rites, the Shaanxi Political Division, and the Ministry of Envoys jointly sent a document to the Blue City Palace.
"Twenty-seven people, including Zhang Liming, the Honglu Temple of the Rite Department of the Beishang Council and the Mission, arrived in Lan County, and the Blue City Royal Mansion arranged for the Peace Mission to deal with the matters, and escorted the Peace Mission into the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"
And now, the peace mission has traveled to Jinzhoutai.
This sudden news made Zhu Di stunned.
"Negotiate peace, go north to negotiate peace?"
Zhu Di looked at the content of the document very unexpectedly, but he really didn't expect it.
This discussion and harmony are a hairy, Saibei is now fighting with the Northern Yuan everywhere, and the negotiation of peace is a bit funny.
Zhu Di was a little confused.
"Before spring ploughing, the defire Chibu must retreat, and His Highness may be ready to participate in the war." Zhu Di handed the document to Li Xiyan, and Li Xiyan said a word.
From one small clue one can see what is coming.
Spring ploughing is the Ming Dynasty can not be delayed, if the Ming Dynasty, which implements the tuntian system, if hundreds of thousands of troops and the Northern Yuan are empty before the spring ploughing, it will seriously affect the spring ploughing.
Before spring ploughing, no matter what, at least half of the soldiers should be returned to the guard post for spring ploughing.
The guards and tuntian are the main bearers of military rations.
Soon, Zhu Di got the news that there was no more convenient thing for this kind of thing than asking Mao Xiang.
Daming sent 12 peace missions this time, which set out from Yingtian a month ago, not only to the north to negotiate peace, but to carry out large-scale peace negotiations.
King Liang of Yunnan, Duoersi of Qinghai, Tumut of Tatar, Wusizang of Tibet, Tubo of Xinjiang, Dehuo Chibu of Northern Yuan, Imperial Court of Northern Yuan, Taiwei Nahachu of Northern Yuan, Generalissimo Wang Baobao of Northern Yuan and other twelve enemies that could threaten the border of the Ming Dynasty.
The 27 people of the Honglu Temple Cheng Zhang Liming and the delegation went to the fire Chibu and the capital of the Northern Yuan Kingdom.
This is a great peace negotiation.
Mao Xiang did not tell the specific purpose, but just said that he was waiting for good news.
It was already close at hand, and Zhu Di immediately made quick arrangements.
Diplomacy has always played an extremely important role in Chinese history, and it is also a matter that all dynasties attach great importance to.
Whether it is to welcome foreign missions or to go to other countries for diplomacy, there are special people to do it.
And this Zhang Liming is the person who negotiated peace with the Northern Yuan for the first time in five years of Hongwu.
One year to the north, four years of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, no Saibei was committed.
There are also different people and different things in the council and faction.
Zhang Liming is a diplomat in the main battle faction, and peace is only a need for military action, not a need to stop military action by talking about peace.
Zhang Liming's northward journey this time has an extremely obvious military color.
Zhu Di made subjective judgments.
In the distance, I saw a luxurious driving car on Jinzhou Road, with a canopy dome and jade curtain cornices, which exceeded the specifications and showed luxury.
When he was approaching, the car stopped, and a middle-aged man with his hair tied in a crown lifted the jade curtain and walked down.
"Xiaguan Zhang Liming pays a visit to the King of the Blue City!" Zhang Liming held a scepter and bowed to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di stepped forward and said, "Zhang Aiqing has been tired all the way, so go with this king to rest." ”
Zhang Liguo got up and shook his head and said: "Thank Your Highness for your grace, but there is no need to rest, the lower officials will discuss peace here, and they will go north immediately in the country and the people, and they will not be delayed." ”
Zhu Di nodded, it was all up to Zhang Liming's wishes, and he immediately replied: "If Zhang Aiqing needs anything, just give orders, and the king will do his best to do what he needs." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Di waved his hand and ordered the cavalry behind him: "The whole army listens to the order and escorts the mission north." ”
The sound of snoring came, and the more than 100 horsemen led by Zhu Di gradually got out of the way, guarding the front and back, left and right.
"How dare the lower officials let His Highness escort him, he can't do it, His Highness, please get into the carriage." Seeing that Zhu Di wanted to ride and escort him, Zhang Liming hurriedly confessed.
Zhu Di said proudly: "Zhang Aiqing is not afraid of life and death, willing to enter the tiger's den for my Ming strategy, this king admires it to the fullest, how can I make it, Aiqing please get on the car quickly, come to Lan County, this king should be the escort of the mission." ”
Zhang Liming hesitated slightly, and after decisively thanking him, he turned around and got on the frame.
Zhu Di looked at him and ordered: "Let's go!" ”
This is not his disobedient compliment, Zhu Di admires all the envoys from the bottom of his heart.
The attitude of the Ming Dynasty and the border countries was not friendly, and the relationship with the Northern Yuan was not peaceful, and the two armies were not at war, so it was only a few cases, and where to care about these in anger.
And Zhang Li obviously knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to really negotiate peace with the Northern Yuan, and even when their group entered the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Yuan Court, they would launch counterattacks and wars, and the crisis faced by the envoys at that time was unimaginable.
But even so, the envoys were still not timid, and went to the Northern Yuan to negotiate peace with firm conviction.
Such spirit and momentum make people's hearts heavy and blood boiling.
And this will be a new beginning.
