Chapter 279: Shoufu
Qin begged Qi Chu not to tell him about exchanging ten years of yang longevity for one day of being invincible in the world to save Lan Ting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The young man is extremely affectionate, if he knew that Qin had made such a big sacrifice for himself, he would live in debt for the rest of his life.
Qi Chu was extremely moved when he heard Qin's request for the bird, such a person who paid silently without asking for anything in return, and didn't even ask for a word of thanks, was really admirable.
Qi Chu nodded and promised to keep it a secret for him. At the same time, he was also happy that Lan Ting could meet such a person in his life.
Qin didn't tell Qi Chu about Yang Yixiao's departure. Now that Qi Chu has just woken up, it is better not to let him increase his sadness in vain. He covered Qi Chu with a quilt and turned around and went out.
......
The palace was silent in the dark of night, and by this time most of the eunuchs and maidservants had already fallen asleep. But some of the concubines lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, because many of them never saw the emperor in their lives, and some people were lucky enough to see the emperor, but they were forgotten in the palace wall after a night of joy.
The emperor is a supreme title, and no one in the past dynasties dared to offend the person who wore a dragon crown and a dragon robe. Regardless of whether he has the talent to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as he wears the yellow robe that symbolizes power and status, he can kill people at will and act recklessly. It is precisely with such an emperor that the waves of changing the dynasty have been promoted.
As soon as Zhu Yijun got the news, the spies he sent to spy on Xu Jinyu had fled the capital, and he was furious and ordered the Shenji Battalion to find these spies regardless of the corners of the world, and then chop them into meat sauce.
But these spies have gone their separate ways, and some of them have even had their heads cut off by bandits for taking the path. Therefore, no matter how hard the Shenji Battalion tries, it is impossible to complete this task, and they are the ones who die if they fail to complete the task. In order to survive, they thought of a way.
It's the stupidest way to find a replacement for the dead, but that's the only way it works these days. But no one wants to die on behalf of others, and someone in the Shenji camp proposes to go to death row to find a few death row prisoners who are about to be beheaded, anyway, they are dying left and right, and it is the same if they die early or late. However, some people objected, and once they replaced death row prisoners, they would alarm the government. There is no impermeable wall in the world, in case this matter is leaked, then they will commit the crime of bullying the king, not only will they die, but they will also be punished by the nine clans.
In the end, everyone discussed going to a remote mountain village to arrest a few ordinary people, these people had no support, and they were timid and would not resist. When the time comes, give the family of the deceased some silver taels, and they will not have the courage to report to the official. After everyone reached an agreement, they began to act, and the Shenji Battalion went out of the city with the imperial order, including a small group of people and horses who secretly walked the path to find the substitute ghosts, and the two pairs of people and horses agreed to meet at the north gate of the capital seven days later.
Zhu Yijun will never know what the Shenji Battalion has done, he just wants to vent his anger and kill a few people. In fact, it doesn't matter to him who the dead are, just tell him that he is the damn altar, because he still has to get by on face.
Zhu Yijun had already put on civilian clothes and wanted to go out of the palace to visit Xu Jinyu, but at this moment, Chen Ju reported outside, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao, the first assistant of the cabinet, asks to see you." ”
"Zhao Zhigao, what is he doing?" Zhu Yijun frowned slightly, and quickly changed his clothes. After putting on the dragon robe, he said to Chen Ju outside the door: "Let him in." ”
Zhao Zhigao is the first assistant of today's cabinet, and unlike Shen Zheng, he is a kind person, steady and knowledgeable, and good at poetry. It is precisely because he is the first assistant of the cabinet that he has become Shen Cheng's biggest enemy.
The door of the hall opened, and Zhao Zhigao walked in, although he was past his prime, he was in good spirits, his waist was straight, where was he like an old man in his last years?
Zhao Zhigao was about to kneel when he saw Zhu Yijun, but he stopped him, "There is no need to salute, say something quickly." ”
Chen Ju stood aside, looking at Zhu Yijun's dragon robe with a wrong button, thinking that he should have changed his clothes in a panic just now. looked at Zhao Zhigao worriedly, the emperor wanted to leave the palace today, but he was blocked by Lord Zhao like this, so he must be in an impatient mood. Lord Zhao must not touch the emperor's brow again.
He looked at Zhao Zhigao worriedly, thinking in his heart for a while if Lord Zhao really said something that the emperor didn't like to hear, how would he break the siege. At this time, I found that Zhao Zhigao was holding a rectangular brocade box in his hand, which should contain documents or folds.
"This is the peace book of Hideyoshi Toyoda of Japan. Toyota Hideyoshi is willing to bow down and be a minister, and from now on regard my Ming monarch as the lord of the world. Zhao Zhigao was obviously a little excited.
Over the years, the Wa Kingdom repeatedly invaded the land of the Daimyo, and the coastal towns were even more persecuted by them. The two countries have negotiated many times, Zhu Yijun wants Toyoda Hideyoshi to be a vassal to him, and the other party also wants him to be a vassal. Therefore, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and there was a famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, and the Japanese were terrified. However, since the death of Qi Jiguang, the Japanese invaded the Ming Dynasty again, and this time it became even worse.
Zhu Yijun was very shocked to hear that Toyoda Hideyoshi took the initiative to negotiate peace and was going to bow down to himself, but this peace proposal was personally sent by Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and it must not be fake.
At this time, Chen Ju had already taken the brocade box from Zhao Zhigao's hand and presented it. Zhu Yijun took out the book of discussion and opened it to see that there were some words written densely on it that he didn't know, thinking that it was the script of the Wa Kingdom.
I heard Zhao Zhigao add: "Holy Lord, the last of the peace book is stamped with the jade seal of Japan. ”
Zhu Yijun looked down and saw that there were indeed four red characters printed at the end, but this character was also the script of the Wa Kingdom, and he couldn't recognize it.
Chen Ju watched from the sidelines, and he was also very shocked in his heart. If Hideyoshi Toyoda takes the initiative to become a vassal, it means that the stalemate between the two countries has a chance to ease. And Daming took the initiative, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing.
He reminded Zhu Yijun: "Holy Lord, do you want to find a translator to come over?" ”
Zhu Yijun wanted to go and see Xu Jinyu, but the matter of peace was too important, so he nodded.
Suddenly, I heard Zhao Zhigao say in His Royal Highness: "Holy Lord, the old minister has already found a translator, and there is absolutely no problem with the peace book." ”
Chen Ju also knew that he was anxious, and when he passed by him, he whispered: "Lord Zhao, don't worry, everything will be known when the translator comes." ”
The stakes were so high that Chen Ju went to the translator in person. In one hour, Zhu Yijun picked up the peace book countless times, and saw it from beginning to end countless times, although he didn't know the writing of the Wa Kingdom, but his excitement was difficult to hide.
Suddenly, I heard Chen Ju's voice from outside the hall, "Holy Lord, the translator is here." ”
"Bring him in!" Zhu Yijun put the book on the dragon case, and the paper was already soaked where he had touched it.
