The snow gradually became heavier, and the night sky was covered with black clouds, and the north wind roared but could not blow away the thick clouds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoYou can't see the stars in the night sky in such weather, but tonight is so weird.

There are countless stars in the night sky, and the starlight even overshadows the moonlight, faintly dominating the galaxy. No one paid much attention to the starry night sky on a strange night, for something even stranger was happening in the palace.

The starlight fell on the vermilion gate of the palace, and there was a person close to the palace gate, which looked particularly strange from a distance. Suddenly, I heard a "squeak" The palace door opened, and the little palace maid who inquired about the news stretched out her head and whispered a few words in the man's ear.

The man nodded, and then shoved her a larger ingot of silver. When the palace door was closed, he moved his neck, and inadvertently saw the cold stars in the sky, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes. The starlight shone brightly on his face, and the person who had been waiting outside the palace all night was none other than Li Dai.

After about a stick of incense, the palace door opened again, and this time it was not the little palace maid just now, but an unfamiliar face.

Li Dai looked through the gap between the two doors, only to see the lights flickering behind the doors, and heard the noise of people. I knew that something big must have happened in the palace.

He knew that the person in front of him was delivering news to the outside, and there were many people like this in the palace. When they get any important news, they will tell the people outside the palace gate as soon as possible, in exchange for money. This kind of person will not work with anyone for a long time, because they are a one-shot deal.

"One hundred taels!" the man held out a finger, and there was no superfluous explanation.

Looking at his eyes, Li Dai knew that this news was definitely worth a hundred taels. So he took out a silver ticket and gave it to him.

This person whispered in Li Dai's ear, although the voice was small, but Li Dai heard it in his ears, shocked in his heart, and the expression on his face changed one after another, from shock to doubt, and then to excitement. After listening, he turned around and left, although he didn't know martial arts, but the wind was under his feet, and the speed was much faster than before.

After walking two miles to the west, a carriage appeared in Li Dai's sight.

A sturdy horse, a glittering coachman. The coachman saw Li Dai walking briskly and hurriedly greeted him.

"My lord, have you got a result?" the coachman dragged Li Dai by the arm, Li Dai lifted his feet off the ground, and advanced faster, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of the carriage. It seems that this coachman's martial arts are not low, and he is by no means a nobody on the rivers and lakes.

"Hurry! Hurry up to the old man's residence!" Li Dai turned over and got into the car, his nervous and excited nerves made his palms sweat and his whole body heated.

The carriage sped away, bringing snowflakes on the ground and fluttering in the wind. Li Dai couldn't sit still in the carriage at all, and frequently lifted the curtain to ask the coachman how long it would take to get to the old man's residence.

The coachman had never seen Li Dai in such a hurry, and while hurrying up, he replied, "Hurry, hurry!"

Li Dai only felt that his carriage had been galloping for a long time and finally stopped, and when he lifted the curtain, he saw that it was Shen Zheng's residence.

Today, Shen has always lived in his own house, and in the bedroom he is reading a book in loose clothes. Suddenly, someone pushed the door in, "Pavilion Senior, Pavilion Senior!"

This was Li Dai's voice, and he couldn't wait to report it, so he broke in. Because he was sure that Elder Ge would be very happy when he heard the news.

Shen Yi walked to the outhouse, put the book on the table, looked at Li Dai, who was sweating profusely, and said, "Panic, what's the hurry?"

"Something is wrong!"

Shen has always looked sideways slightly, of course he knows that Li Dai is not an impatient person, what can make him so flustered?

"Speak quickly!"

Hearing these two words, Li Dai calmed down, but the flame in his eyes was even stronger, which showed that the apparent calmness was pretended, just to be able to tell things completely.

"Pavilion Elder, Lord Zhao entered the palace overnight to send the emperor a peace letter from Hideyoshi Toyoda of Japan. ”

Shen always naturally knew who Lord Zhao was in Li Dai's mouth, and his real opponent in the world today, Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant of the cabinet. This is not good news, because Zhao Zhigao has always advocated peace, while his own side advocates war. Once the two countries succeed in negotiating peace, it will be even more difficult to shake Zhao Zhigao's status than to ascend to the sky.

Although he heard the bad news, Shen was not too surprised. There is nothing in the world today that can surprise him.

Li Dai said again: "Lord Zhao brought a letter of peace in Japanese and presented it to the Shengshang, but the Shengshang found more than 20 translators, but no one could translate it. ”

In the end, the emperor wanted to behead all these incompetent translators, and at this time, a translator named Han Feng risked his life to tell the truth. ”

"It turned out that it was not that they couldn't translate the content, but that Zhao Zhigao said that Toyoda Hideyoshi took the initiative to bow down to my Ming Dynasty in the book of peace and serve the emperor as the lord of the world. ”

"But when the content of the peace book was really translated, it was written in black and white that Toyoda Hideyoshi wanted me to bow down to the Ming Dynasty, and asked us to pay tribute to them every year, and shamelessly changed the name of Wanli. ”

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and ordered Zhao Zhigao to be pulled out and beheaded on the spot. ”

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Zhao Zhigao is dead?"

Li Dai sighed and said: "No, I heard that it was the Buddha who risked his life to save Lord Zhao's life, otherwise he would definitely fall to the ground." ”

Shen was silent, and his mind was repeatedly thinking about every word Li Dai said.

A letter of peace in Japanese, a scheming cabinet chief, and a courageous translator, all this happened too strangely. Zhao Zhigao would not be so careless about such a big matter as the two countries negotiating peace, and he must have found a translator to translate in advance. But here's the problem, didn't the translator Zhao Zhigao find see that there was a problem with this letter and book?

Li Dai added: "Ge Lao, I heard that there is a jade seal of Japan on the book of Yihe, which must have been made by Hideyoshi Toyoda. ”

"Is this news reliable?"

"Infallible, I vouch for it. ”

Shen has always been unintelligible, and he has been fighting for many years. If the peace book was really written by Hideyoshi Toyoda, he undoubtedly did so to help himself get rid of the enemy. And Zhao Zhigao is the main peace faction, except that he has no benefit to Toyoda Hideyoshi. Why did this person do this?

Could it be that this is a trap? In order to blame himself for the falsification of the proposal and the book?

Shen has always been in officialdom for a long time, and in his opinion, if Zhao Zhigao really wants to blame himself, this method is too clumsy.

Li Dai said on the side: "Elder Ge, we have endured it so much, and it is not easy to wait for this opportunity." It's a good time to get down to the bottom of the ground, and you can't hesitate!"

Of course, Shen always knew that Zhao Zhigao had angered Long Wei, and now even if he didn't die, he would probably be sent to prison. It was a good time for him to fight back, but the more he got to this point, the more cautious he became.
