Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 275 The Struggle Between War and Peace

Qi Lin stared at Luo Bei and Wang Jinyu with a gloomy face for a while, and then said to Zuo Zhengming: "Zuo Prison Cheng, do you still remember the rules of Dali Temple?"

Zuo Zhengming grinned, and his mustache also moved, rubbing his hands and bowing down and saying, "My lord, these two are ...... It's ......"

Qi Lin could see his panic at a glance, and sneered, "Who are they?"

Zuo Zhengming was hesitating, Wang Jinyu smiled indifferently: "In Xia Wang Jinyu, he is not a person who breaks into the prison, but invites Qin Xiang's show to come to the prison to see a person's ......."

Qi Lin's eyes lit up and asked, "Qin Xiang, I don't know if you have anything to show me?"

Wang Jinyu still smiled, not seeing a trace of nervousness, and said, "My lord, I still don't believe me, but it's okay!"

He reached out and took out the jet-black token from his arms, held it in his hand and sent it to Qi Lin, and said unhurriedly: "I think this thing should always be known to adults?"

Qi Lin looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly took two steps back, bowed down, and said, "Dali Temple Qing Qi Lin asked Qin Xiang how he was okay!"

Wang Jinyu nodded, put the token back in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Since it's all a misunderstanding, please don't be surprised!"

Qi Lin's face softened slightly, he took a step back, and got out of the way, and the guards behind him immediately scattered on both sides when they saw this, but they only left room for one person to walk.

Zuo Zhengming lowered his head, but his eyes looked at Wang Jinyu, and gave him a look hard, telling him to leave quickly, how could Wang Jinyu not understand, so he hugged him when he passed by Qi Lin, and walked forward leisurely with Luobei.

Luo Bei saw that Qi Lin was finally willing to let them go, so he relaxed a little.

Wang Jinyu held the token tightly in his hand and shook it in front of the guards, telling them to step back again, and those guards knew that this thing was not easy to mess with, so they gave in again one after another.

How do you know that they just took two steps, Qi Lin suddenly said in a loud voice: "Hmph, not only did you break into the prison of Dali Temple, but also dared to fake the prime minister's order, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Wang Jinyu grinned in fright, the hand holding the token was still in his arms, and he was repeatedly wondering what was wrong in his mind? Could it be that Qi Lin saw the clue just for a moment?

Hearing Qi Lin's shout, dozens of armored guards with spears immediately surrounded the two of them.

Qi Lin turned around slowly, and at this time, Zuo Zhengming behind him was already kneeling on the ground with a "poof", but he didn't even pay attention to it, just squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the two teenagers who were surrounded by the guards.

Wang Jinyu frowned, but quickly turned around, put his hands behind his back, and smiled calmly.

"Why did Lord Qi say this?"

Qi Lin laughed twice and said: "You two teenagers dare to sneak into my Dali Temple, and you still have the Prime Minister's token with you, so you want to leave like this, you really deceive me Dali Temple is no one......"

Wang Jinyu was not in a hurry, although he still had a smile on his face, he did not show weakness in his eyes with Qi Lin.

"According to the meaning of the adults, the two of us are impersonating?"

Qi Lin nodded slightly, he was actually impressed by the demeanor of the young man in front of him, and sighed: "You are not a bad young man, there are not many people who can maintain such composure in front of me, but even so, I can't let you go today......"

"Since you are not convinced, I will give you a reason to convince you, you must know that the prime minister's token is cast by the imperial court, see the order as if you see the prime minister, a hundred officials are stunned, what an important thing it is, even if Qin Xiang has any advice, he will not only let your two young children come to Dali Temple with the token, this is your biggest flaw, so even if the token is true, you can't leave today!"

After that, he didn't give Wang Jinyu any chance, but waved his sleeves, and the guards immediately put Wang Jinyu away

and Luo Bei were captured, and then taken directly to prison.

The two teenagers had been taken away, and Zuo Zhengming was still kneeling there and did not dare to move.

Only then did Qi Lin turn around and look down at Zuo Zhengming, and said, "Zhengming, you have been a prisoner in Dali Temple for a few years, right?"

Only then did Zuo Zhengming raise his head, look at Qi Lin, and then lean down and bowed: "Four years and seventy days!"

Qi Lin nodded, then walked towards the prison with his head held high, suddenly stopped again, and said: "People are round and square, I shouldn't ask who you want to befriend with me, but you are a person with some ability, it would be a pity if you were wasted!"

Zuo Zhengming almost fell to the ground, he couldn't imagine that Qi Lin was such a cold-faced person, and he usually had no intention of communicating, but what he had done couldn't escape his eyes at all.

He slowed down for a while before slowly getting up from the ground, only to find that Qi Lin had already left.

Zuo Zhengming stared at the direction of the prison, and sighed after a long time: "This is really self-defeating, I have to quickly tell Wang Lao, the matter is really troublesome in the hands of Qi Lin!"

......

In the early morning, the night dew has not dispersed.

On the long street in front of the palace gate, small sedan chairs had already appeared early, no matter where they came from, and finally flocked to the majestic high wall.

Because today is the period of the Great Dynasty, as long as the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty is of the same level, they must go to the court on time, in order to discuss national affairs, and many of them already know that there is a great thing waiting for everyone to express their opinions in the last dynasty today.

A big battle on the northern front had a result, although the two armies had their own casualties, but the Great Song Dynasty still took a great advantage, not only to destroy hundreds of thousands of Jin troops, but also to annihilate the "Iron Floating Massacre" that Wanyan Wushu relied on the most in the world, which was the longest morale and wiped out the prestige of the enemy.

Yue Fei, the former commander of the army, had already obeyed the edict of the imperial court to return to the army, and after settling more than 100,000 soldiers, he went to Lin'an alone, so that the war between the two countries must always have a certain result.

In fact, needless to say, many people also understand that this victory is nothing more than an opportunity for the imperial court and the Jin State to fight and mediate.

Some people say that this treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and they can't swallow the "Jingkang shame" when the Jin army invaded Bianjing with iron hooves, and now the two emperors are still humiliated in other countries, and they should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue the Jin people out of the Central Plains in one fell swoop, but they can be angry in the "corner of peace" in the imperial court, but now the emperor has not issued a clear decree to negotiate peace, so the people who are fighting still have a glimmer of hope.

The reason for the Lord's peace is naturally sufficient, now it can be said that the war has been going on for many years, the people are not living, and the war is exhausting the people's financial resources, if one day it really ushers in a big defeat, not to mention the Central Plains, even this dignified Jiangnan will fall into the hands of the enemy.

So where do we go from here?

All the ministers entered the court one after another and stood neatly on both sides of the main hall.

At this time, Prime Minister Qin Hui walked in slowly, he nodded to his colleagues on both sides with a smile on his face, and then walked to the position closest to the throne among the ministers and stood up.

In fact, it is said to be the closest to the throne, but in fact there is still a long distance between the two, the emperor is high, looking down on the ministers like insignificant beings, and the ministers standing on the main hall not only look extremely small, but also dare not even raise their heads easily to see the glorious face.

I don't know which dynasty and generation this "rule" has been handed down from, in short, no one dares to disobey it.

Soon after Qin Hui entered the court, the old eunuch slowly walked out from behind with the help of the emperor, walked on the jade steps to the highest place, and sat on the throne.

The emperor simply waved his hand, and Gonggong Sa shouted loudly: "Go to the court!"

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Mountain shouted "Long live", knelt and bowed, the emperor waved his sleeves, and then the Gonggong Sa said "flat", and the minister dared to get up.

"Everyone, Aiqing, there is only one thing to discuss this morning......"

The emperor spoke, and all the ministers still had to hold their breath and listen.

"Yuncheng victory, beheading the enemy's hundreds of thousands, but also destroying the elite of the Jin Army, this battle can be won thanks to Yue Aiqing and the soldiers under his jurisdiction to fight to the death, now Yue Aiqing's class has returned to the dynasty, and it will be there soon, and I will personally set up a banquet for him at that time!"

The emperor's voice was very loud, not like he was sick a few days ago, and he was already well.

"And today, I invite all the ministers to go to court in order to see whether there is war or peace with the Jin people, for this matter, I can't easily decide after thinking about it for many days, I still want to hear your opinions!"

After that, he stood up and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, today everyone can express their opinions, and the only principle cannot be changed lightly, that is, for the world, for all sentient beings......"

As soon as the words fell, the ministers all bowed and called them "Holy Lord".

At this time, a minister with broad shoulders and a strong physique walked out from the ranks of military generals, his long face and beard looked extremely powerful.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's view, now that the Jin army has been defeated and its morale has been lost, it is a good time for our army to move north and recover the occupied rivers and mountains in one fell swoop......

His words were sonorous and powerful, and they were full of momentum, and the generals behind him were all enthusiastic, which was also something they thought about day and night, and they couldn't help but praise it in their hearts, and several generals also seconded it.

The emperor looked at the general kneeling at the foot of the jade steps, then nodded, stretched out his hand to beckon, and said: "General Hu, please get up, I think you have been at the border for many years, and I have put my heart into saying this today, I am very pleased, and what I said is also very reasonable......

He swept his gaze over the ministers in the palace, and said, "I don't know if there is any other saying?"

At this time, a thin old man walked out of the ranks slowly, but before kneeling, he glanced at Qin Xiang out of the corner of his eye, and then said loudly: "The minister thinks that the puppet has misled the country......

As soon as these words came out, the ministers couldn't help but be shocked and began to discuss one after another.

The old man glanced at the generals opposite, and saw a pair of angry eyes, but he sneered, not afraid.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not talking nonsense, you must know that over the years, whether it is the country or the people, they have long been destitute, everyone is eager for a period of peace, so that the world can recuperate, but these people who think of war only care about their own interests, blindly talk about war, but they are afraid that once the court makes peace, they will have to disarm and return to the field, and then there will be no military power in their hands, hehe, their sinister heart can be seen!"

These words can be described as murderous, and a group of generals glared at him angrily as if they wanted to eat him alive, but he narrowed his eyes leisurely, and it didn't matter.

In the blink of an eye, several old ministers knelt behind the old man and shouted: "What Lord Wang said is very true, you can't let these puppets mislead the country and the people!"

On the main hall, it is no secret that the civil ministers are in harmony, and the military generals are in the main battle, so the two factions are separated, as if they are going to quarrel, but Han Shizhong, the core of the military generals, and Qin Hui, the head of the civil ministers, are standing silent, and they naturally dare not quarrel.

At this time, Han Shizhong, the privy envoy who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, walked out slowly, and was about to bow down, but was stopped by the emperor.

The emperor said warmly: "The old general has something to say, there is no need to be polite!"

Han Shizhong still insisted on kneeling on the main hall, and at this moment, all the ministers kept silent, and the hall suddenly quieted down, thinking that Han Shizhong still had prestige in the hearts of everyone.

"My dynasty Taizu once said, the world is chaotic, the military generals are peaceful, the world is peaceful, the emperor and the ministers rule together, Han Shizhong fought against the horse for half his life, after Marshal Zong Ze left, almost half of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were in charge, probably the most serious one in the mouth of the king, right?"
