"Then it's better to send an envoy to Pingshanwei first, so that the army is stationed outside Zhending City, once the peace talks fail, and then send the army to suppress it, elders, what do you think of this plan?"

A few elders.

The Emperor was overjoyed that he had been able to come up with such a brilliant plan, and his eyes burned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, which of you would like to go to Pingshan to negotiate peace with the King of Jin?"

Ministers, this is a thankless errand!

Seeing that no one answered, the emperor's gaze fell on Fang Yi, the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate.

Fang Yi is as his name, Fang Zheng is resolute, he was the first to propose to let the King of Qi succeed to the throne, when the Empress Dowager took out the edict of Taizong, he was the first to stand up and question the authenticity, even if it was later tested to be true, Fang Yi still refused to give up, and he had to find something to do every once in a while.

The emperor had a headache when he saw him.

"Fang Aiqing is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, highly respected and loyal, I sent you to the peace talks, Fang Aiqing is willing to go?"

The court was silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Fang Yi.

Fang Yi has offended the emperor ruthlessly.

After the little emperor ascended the throne, he didn't trouble him, but the time had not yet come, and now that the time came, the emperor was the first to think of him.

But this trouble was found a little early, the emperor has only been on the throne for three years, and the dragon chair has not yet sat firmly.

Besides, even if you are looking for trouble, you have to prioritize it, the king of Jin rebelled, this is a big thing, and the emperor actually took this opportunity to embarrass a loyal old minister.

That's right, Fang Yi made many enemies in the court, however, even his political enemies never questioned his loyalty to the Zhou dynasty.

An imperceptible sneer appeared on Fang Yi's lips, he stepped forward and bowed to the emperor: "I am willing to go!" ”

In the Jinghong Building, He Ran heard that the emperor had sent someone to negotiate peace, and asked the army to stop at the real time, and choked on a sip of wine with a smile.

And what to talk about?

If the rebellion is just a group of bandits, sending people to negotiate can be absorbed, and the king and knight can be crowned and the chief soldier, it is all his creation.

It's worth talking about.

If the other party is not rebelling, but the army of the neighboring country is pressing the border, one side can only talk if it can't fight, and sending gold and silver, cattle and sheep to the princess in exchange for the submission of one party is also worth talking about.

But this person is the king of Jin, one person is above ten thousand people, except for the dragon chair and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he lacks nothing.

What else is there to talk about such a person?

What King Jin wants is for you to get off the dragon chair, do you want to get out?

Or do you cede the state and send it to the government to let the king of Jin stand on his own and be on an equal footing with you?

Besides, does the emperor know where Zhending is, and where is Pingshan?

Do you know that Zhending is only more than 100 miles away from Pingshan?

You made an appointment with the King of Jin to come to the peace talks, and then stationed heavy troops more than a hundred miles away, and the King of Jin really wanted to send someone to the peace talks, that is, the brain development is not fully developed like you.

He Ran sat and waited to watch the play, and ordered Zuo Xiaoai to always pay attention to the battle situation ahead.

The real business of Jinghong Building is the news.

There are two sources of the message.

First, someone betrayed the news, just like the old news of Yan'an Bofu, which came from the insiders of the year;

The second is Jinghonglou's own investigation.

At that time, each Jinghong building has its own chazi, the first batch of chazi, is the world after the peace of the retired scouts and fine work, he (she) does not want to return to the hometown for the rest of the old, He Jinghong said: do not want to retire, then re-hire, I continue to hire you for my use.

The first batch of Chazi died of old age, their children or apprentices took over, some people were old and injured and retired, and new people joined in, batch after batch, even in the decades of closure, Jinghonglou was there, they were there.

In the official post more than 50 miles away from Pingshanwei, Lao Huang, who feeds the horses, sits outside the stable, picking his teeth with a straw stick, and today's meal has meat, several pieces of meat.

Two officers and soldiers led the horses over, and beads of sweat oozed from the young man's face: "Lead the two horses out, you have to have a good foot, and you must rush to Pingshanwei before dark." ”

Lao Huang threw away the straw stick and said with concern: "Pingshanwei? It's not peaceful there, so be careful. ”

The officers and soldiers sighed: "Who said it wasn't, isn't this going to negotiate, and it's not going to be peaceful." ”

"Look at you sweating profusely and rushing from the capital?" Lao Huang picked two sturdy horses and handed the reins to the two of them.

"yes." Officers and soldiers are absent-minded.

"It's not easy for you to do this job, it's not only hard, but it's also dangerous." Lao Huang said with concern.

"It's not, others can rest in Zhending Mansion for one night, but we have to run all the way to change horses without changing people, the same people don't have the same life, there is no way."

The officers and soldiers took the horses that Lao Huang had prepared for them, looked at them, and asked, "Have you fed all these horses?" ”

"Hey, don't worry." Although Lao Huang is just a stable, he is diligent and never sloppy.

The post soldier turned on his horse and galloped in the direction of Pingshanwei.

Lao Huang led the horses that the soldiers had changed to feed the fodder, he found a small wooden stick, blackened it with a fire fold, and found a crumpled piece of paper, wrote a few words on it with the blackened wooden stick, rolled it, and a little flower dog ran over and rubbed it on Lao Huang's trouser leg, and just now Lao Huang divided half of the meat in the bowl to it.

Lao Huang looked at the round belly of the little flower dog, bent down to sort out the collar around the neck of the little flower dog, stuffed the crumpled paper into the mezzanine of the collar, and said with a smile: "Go out and play, there is still meat to eat at night." ”

Hearing that there was still meat, the little flower dog spun around twice in place like a happy one, and then ran away.

Lao Huang lifted the bucket, went to the well to fetch a bucket of water, and began to scrub the horses, he always had work to do.

In a small restaurant, a sturdy woman came out with a bucket of swill, and several little beggars immediately gathered around, and the woman looked at them and said angrily, "When you have finished eating, remember to clean the bucket and send it back." ”

A little flower dog also came running to join in the fun, and the woman picked it up, patted it on his fat belly, and threw it on the ground: "Get out, beware of these little babies who are hungry and even eat you!" ”

The little flower dog seemed to understand her words, rolled on the ground and ran away, it didn't want to be eaten, it still had to find Lao Huang for meat to eat.

The woman returned to the small courtyard behind the restaurant, a pigeon squatted on the wall, and the woman put the note taken out of the collar of the little flower dog into a bamboo pipe and tied it to the pigeon's leg: "Send it to the grandmother." ”

The people sent to the capital for peace talks are in Zhending today, and they will be in Pingshanwei tomorrow.

In a private house in Xinzhou City, Feng Chuying sent the messenger away and walked into the study of King Jin with the letter in a bright yellow box.

"Look at it, this is the one who sent it to the Xinzhou camp, he has already experienced it, and there is no poison." Feng Chuying put the box in front of King Jin.

King Jin took out the letter inside, looked at it, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes: "The puppet emperor wants peace talks." ”

Feng Chuying smiled: "It's very interesting." ”

King Jin closed the letter, thought about it, and said: "Summons Fu Yansheng, launch an attack tonight, this king also wants to talk about peace, but wants to change places." ”

Feng Chuying laughed, went out to call a cronie, and handed the token to the cronies: "The lord has an order, attack tonight." ”

The cronies took the token, turned and left, and rode out of the back door of the house one by one, disappearing like an arrow from the string on the bluestone paved street. (End of chapter)
