Chapter 95 (1/2)
”Emperor, Chu Xiang and Chen Wang have their own opinions, but both of them are reasonable! Let's send someone to explore each other's tone before we make a decision! ” When the two sides can't fight, Yun xuanzhi stands out and says aloud!
”Take a breath? Does Yunxiang want to bow to Beiqi to reconcile? Now that King Rui was in their hands, the Northern Qi had no need to explore what they wanted! ” Chen Wang retorts coldly. His eyes are covered with ice. It's frightening!
Yunxuanzhi is robbed by Chen Wang for a while, his eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, and his eyes are shining slightly, measuring the current situation above the hall!
Don't you want the Minister of the Ministry of war standing at the back at this time to stand out, look like a tiger and ask Chen Wang lingran, ”is that to listen to the voice of the Lord, is it to plan to fight hard? At that time, when the Northern Qi Dynasty sent King Rui to the central part of the two armies, would you like our soldiers to fight or stop fighting? Moreover, King Rui is one of the commanders of this time. Being captured in this way will do harm to the army. If the enemy fails to appease us, our army will be torn apart! ”
At this time, the jade emperor turned his eyes from the three men to the face of the Minister of the Ministry of war, and then asked, ”is it war or peace, according to your meaning? After arguing for half a day, I didn't even come up with a specific plan. What's the use of keeping you? ”
The voice turned cold in vain. Emperor Yuqian's face was covered with ice and frost. His eyes were cold and arrow like. There was a faint flash of anger in his eyes. The angry appearance of Hanwei made all the officials immediately stop arguing, and they all recovered their prudent appearance and stopped talking!
”Emperor, another 800 Li urgent document came from outside!” At this time, the eunuch steward cat who just went out while everyone was arguing walked into Yuqian emperor and whispered in his ear!
”Pass it on!” As soon as emperor Yuqian heard this, his face became more and more ugly, while Baiguan's heart was a little frightened. When did it come out again? People only think that this evening is too hard to endure. I'm sure it's the fate to enter and leave the palace!
”Pass...” With the approval of emperor Yuqian, the chief eunuch immediately shouted to the outside of the hall!
”Humble duty to the emperor!” A dusty figure rushed into the main hall with a trace of anxiety. The soldier in the grey Herald's dress knelt down in front of Yuqian emperor immediately, but he still carried a sealed round bamboo tube on his back. The cover of the bamboo tube was sealed to death. It was known that he had come from the Northern camp!
”Get up and talk!” When Emperor Yuqian saw the herald running all the way, he was still gasping for breath when he knelt down. His face relaxed a little and his tone was more peaceful. He asked him to get up first and report back!
”Yes!” Hearing this, the herald officer stood up and acted in a single way. Compared with the hundreds of officials above the hall, he had less heart and cunning!
He took the bamboo tube from his back, raised his hands above the top, and shouted back, ”the emperor, 800 Li urgent documents, please have a look!”
Yuqian gave the Duke next to him a look, and saw that the Duke in charge bent slightly towards Yuqian at once. Then he immediately took the bamboo tube in the hand of the herald and quickly returned to Yuqian. He opened the bamboo tube on the spot in front of all the civil and military officials and took out the inside Memorial!
Yuqian emperor took the memorial, opened it and read it quickly, then closed it again, looked at the silent people below again, and said coldly, ”let's guess what's in this document!”
Everyone looked at each other. The Jade Emperor had no expression on his face and his voice was as cold as ever. How could they guess?
”Emperor, let me guess! In this document, but good news? ” At this time, yunxuanzhi is meditating for a moment and then slowly making a sound!
It made emperor Yuqian look slightly sideways, and asked him with interest, ”why does Yunxiang have such a guess?”
However, yunxuanzhi looked up at Yuqian emperor and saw that there was no annoyance in his face, so he said again, ”as a citizen of Western Chu, Weichen naturally hopes to have a good report every day!”
”Hahaha If it is true that clouds know how to observe words and colors! ” But I don't know. After hearing the compliment from yunxuanzhi, Emperor Yuqian burst out laughing!
His smile broke the air that had been frozen for a long time on the main hall. Other officials breathed a silent sigh of relief. Some of them were timid. They grabbed their sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on their forehead. They only felt that they were really with the king like a tiger. They still felt that they were under the snow mountain for thousands of years. Now they are in the middle of spring and March. The hot and cold alternate, making people feel like they are in the middle of spring and March I can't accept it for a while, but I have to force myself to accept it!
”I don't know if there is any good news for the emperor to be so happy?” Seeing that he guessed right, Yunxuan's face was slightly relaxed, but he still asked carefully!
”There is no need to argue. Haichenxi mentioned in the foldout that he heard that King Rui was captured. He immediately led 10000 soldiers to attack the garrison on the border of Northern Qi at night, and captured the general of the garrison. He was a famous and powerful general of Northern Qi! This Weiwu general is a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He once made great contributions to the surrounding tribes. He is Weng Gong, the third princess of the emperor of filial piety of the mausoleum. Now, he is not aware of being captured for a while. He is afraid that he will have a headache for the emperor of filial piety of the Northern Qi for a while! At that time, naturally, we can take this powerful general as a hostage and exchange with the Northern Qi Dynasty for King Rui! ” Emperor Yuqian came slowly, with a bit of calculation and shrewdness in his eyes. The smile of his eyes sparkled with fear. He must have hated the Northern Qi Dynasty just now. Now, he immediately gave the other party a lower horse power. Naturally, he was very happy!The ministers never thought that there would be a turning point so soon. They all had a look of disbelief!
But this was said clearly from the mouth of emperor Yuqian. Although they still had some doubts, they could only believe the facts in front of them. One by one, they all bowed to Emperor Yuqian and said, ”congratulations to the emperor!”
Chu Feiyang listened to Baiguan's skill of flattering others. He smiled sarcastically at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes glanced at Chen Wang lightly, and then he said, ”emperor, Nawei general is powerful and good at fighting. I think it's safer to take him back to Kyoto! And in this way, the Northern Qi Dynasty will also have some scruples, naturally dare not act recklessly! However, in the matter of escorting the prisoners, Prince Hai is afraid that he has no skills. He also asked the emperor to send another trusted person to the border, so as not to make a mistake in the way! ”
”Emperor, I'm seconded!” At this time, yunxuanzhi station comes out to speak!
”Minister also seconded!” Then there is the Minister of war!
”I'll go along with you!” All of a sudden, there were many voices of secondment in the court, which made emperor Yuqian nod his head!
However, the escorts should be loyal and reliable. After a long look at the Imperial Hall, Emperor Yuqian stopped at the end of Chen's body. He was about to make an order, but he saw another 800 Li urgent report coming from outside!
”Xuan!” Put away the words that have reached the mouth, Emperor Yuqian let the Duke publicize and order the official to enter the hall to face the saint!
After kneeling for a while, the herald raised the bamboo tube in his hands with sweat, and handed it to the Duke. Emperor Yuqian took the memorial, but after watching it, he was totally happy with the dragon heart, and immediately said, ”Beiqi has sent envoys to our army camp, asking for a truce agreement with haichenxi! I intend to participate in the canonization ceremony of my concubine on September 9, when we will exchange hostages from both sides in Kyoto! ”
This time, even sending someone to escort can be reduced!
But Yunxuan's Chu Feiyang Chen Wang and others were serious. Seeing that Yunxuan's eyes were puzzled, he asked, ”emperor, did this Northern Qi Dynasty change too fast? Although the mighty general is really important, but compared with the identity of Prince Rui, it is worse after all! But they did not wait for us to put forward a reconciliation, but they sent messengers so quickly, and they came to Beijing under the title ceremony of the imperial concubine, for fear of fraud! ”
”I don't know if it can be mentioned in this memorial. The meaning of this reconciliation was proposed by Emperor Ling Xiaodi or the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty!” But Chu Feiyang actually asked such a question which let the public not understand!
If the intention of reconciliation is not approved by Emperor Ling Xiaodi, even if Qi Jingyuan can no longer be loved by his father, the emperor can not overstep his authority to exercise this matter!
After all, the issue of sending envoys to reconcile was very important. Before that, the Northern Qi Dynasty had invested a lot of manpower and material resources to support the war. Could it be said that it was easy to give up?
Although the crown prince has always done the emperor's business, if the crown prince is the only one in charge of such an event, I'm afraid that all the officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty will not agree with it!
”It only mentioned the emissary sent by the Northern Qi Dynasty! What did Chu Xiang think of? ” Let Gonggong take the fold to Chu Feiyang to have a look. Emperor Yuqian's light mouth and his right index finger tap the table table case, but he has turned over many guesses in his heart. I think there are doubts in his heart!
Chu Feiyang took the memorial, looked at it carefully, and then returned it to the Duke. After a while, he said, ”emperor, the content of this fold is very common! At this moment, Princess Hai wrote, afraid that he was waiting for the emperor's decision! Since this is the reconciliation proposed by the Northern Qi Dynasty and the exchange of hostages in Kyoto, even if the other side has any idea, it can cope with the current Kyoto defense force! Do you think so, Lord Chen
Chu Feiyang's mind was filled with the contents of the fold. Everything was just waiting for the decision of emperor Yuqian. It can be seen that haichenxi was also a man with deep thoughts. Otherwise, he would take the initiative to deal with this matter. If there was a problem at that time, haiwangfu would be doomed!
And just a word, but also point to the Jade Emperor, rather than guess the intention of the other side, it is better to put the opponent in the eye, or guard against the unexpected!
However, Chu Feiyang was very curious. Qi Jingyuan was cruel. For the war of Western Chu, Qi Jingyuan, as the commander in chief, was the most prestigious leader in the dynasty. Why didn't he stop the emperor Lingxiao from issuing the purpose of reconciliation this time?
Jiang Muchen did not answer Chu Feiyang's question, but looked at the Jade Emperor and said calmly, ”everything is waiting for the emperor's decision!”
The meaning is very clear. If the Jade Emperor thinks reconciliation is feasible, he will start to mobilize the city defense forces to ensure the safety of Kyoto in the near future! If emperor Yuqian did not agree with reconciliation, Chu Feiyang's words were empty!
However, Emperor Yuqian's eyes could not help turning between Chu Feiyang and Jiang Muchen. He tapped his fingers on the table to slow down his speed, and only half paid said, ”in this case, King Chen will go to prepare! The security in Kyoto will be given to you! Recently, everything in the palace is more complicated. In those days, Princess Dowager Yuande helped the Empress Dowager to take care of the harem. Then I asked someone to take Princess Dowager back to the palace to live in. I could also give some advice on the matter of Princess Feng! ”
In a word, it is to use Princess Yuande to coerce King Chen, so that he can't act rashly. Only by doing this well, Emperor Yuqian will release Princess Yuande back to Prince Chen's house!
At the end of the speech, Emperor Yuqian gave a little sign to the chief eunuch beside him. He saw that the eunuch immediately gave a look to the little eunuch outside the palace. The little eunuch was instructed to run outside the palace with his legs openJiang Muchen's heart was filled with rage. He watched Yuqian's various precautions against him. There was a flash of irony in his eyes, but his face was as cold as ever. Then he said ”the minister obeys the order!”
”It's said that Lord Wu entered the hall of nourishing the heart. Everyone else has gone!” When Emperor Yuqian saw that King Chen was calm and calm, he waved to all the officials to withdraw. Then he asked people to introduce Lord Wu, the leader of the forbidden guards, into the hall of nourishing the mind, for fear that they would discuss the precautions in the palace!
On the second day, Emperor Yuqian issued two consecutively decrees!
One is to agree with the reconciliation with the Northern Qi Dynasty, and let Princess Hai personally escort the emissary of the Northern Qi to the Western Chu Kyoto to ensure its safety!
The second way is to order the women of the three officials and above to participate in the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine, no matter the ordinary people, to show the virtues of the emperor's benevolence and love for the people, and also to fulfill the long cherished wish of sharing happiness with the people in the world!
Two imperial edicts were sent out of the palace at a meteor like speed, which immediately aroused a burst of cheers from Xichu!
After all, if the battle line is too long, the burden of heavy taxes and levies on the people at dawn will be heavier. Moreover, King Rui's capture is his own fault. It seems that there is no reason for the people to pay for his stupidity!
Therefore, to be able to put out the war is the best for the people!
However, all the women in the official family are also very happy. After all, such a grand ceremony, Emperor Yuqian has boundless grace, which makes it difficult to see the men outside in the ordinary life. Finally, they have a positive reason, how can they not be happy!
The well-known chouzhuang, Jindian and garment factories in Kyoto are full of people for a while. Every shop makes a lot of money. Everyone is happy!
On the eighth day of September, Emperor Yuqian sent yunxuanzhi to meet the prince of Haijun and others. He was standing on the tower originally. When he saw the people and horses of haichenxi coming to report, he immediately took the officials behind him to the tower and rode on horseback to stand at the gate!
After meeting Yunxuan, Haijun, who returned to Beijing as soon as possible, escorted the emissary group of the Northern Qi Dynasty and slowly stepped into the gate of Kyoto together!
Long before this, Chen Wang had arranged the city defense work. The people were at ease and boldly around the long street, waiting for the prince of Hai to lead the emissary to step on the Qingshi road of the long street!
Under the expectation of the people, haichenxi, a body of armor, rode on a black horse and walked into people's eyes seriously. Behind him, there were more than 3000 envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty!
A bright yellow Satin wrapped cart was slowly following the princess Hai's back. People's eyes were attracted by the conspicuous color for a while. They saw that the cart was very grand and wide, square in shape, with a foot in length and width. The car roof was made of bright yellow satin that only the Royal family could use. On the satin, there was a light dragon Xiaotian on each side of the car Light yellow dragon clouds driving fog, people can not help but secretly surprised the royal style of the Northern Qi Dynasty!
On the eaves under the roof of the car, the four corners are all hung with embroidered ball lanterns. When you look at them carefully, you will find that the lanterns are not red candles, but night pearls the size of a baby's fist. If you just drive the car to make people feel impressive, then the valuable night pearls are used as street lamps for lighting by the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty It can be described as luxury!
All of a sudden, an exclamation came out of the people's mouths. It was about the rich financial resources of the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Even the night pearl that ordinary people can't see once in their lives was just for this purpose!
And the one who drives the car is not someone else, but Qi Jingyuan, the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Because the window curtains on both sides of the carriage are tightly hung, no one can see his face!
And just behind the qijingyuan carriage are a few smaller chariots. In terms of configuration, those chariots are also inferior to those of qijingyuan carriage. The body of the carriage is no longer covered with bright yellow satin, but with light yellow brocade. The brocade also lacks lifelike flying dragon, which is only decorated with clouds. Although the palace lamp on the four corners is also a glass embroidered ball palace lamp, But what is put inside is no longer a complete night pearl, but several night pearls of even size. Although rare, they are not as valuable as those of Qi Jingyuan!
Then followed more than 20 ordinary carriages, presumably for officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty!
Finally, there are more than 3000 Royal eunuchs and bodyguards. Don't say that those bodyguards are all powerful and upright. Those little eunuchs, too, have beautiful eyes. Let the people around them have a good look!
However, it's still early now. The Palace Banquet to welcome the emissary of the Northern Qi Dynasty is arranged in the evening. Therefore, Yunxuan first LED Qi Jingyuan and others into the embassy. After settling them down and resting for a while, he nodded his head to haichenxi and signaled that he would return to the palace with himself immediately!
The Northern Qi emissary group has a large number of people. Although the experienced eunuchs sent by the palace helped, it was still busy for several hours before it was completely over!
Yun xuanzhi was observing the expression of haichenxi all the way. He was a little scared today. He found that he didn't see King Rui in the emissary group just now. He pulled the reins to let the horse get close to haichenxi and asked in a low voice, ”where is king Rui now, Prince Hai?”
Listen to yunxuanzhi's question, haichenxi's eyes are slightly heavy, his lips are tight and he smiles coldly. Then he says, ”Yunxiang doesn't think Qi Jingyuan will be so relieved. Under the escort of the princess, he will take ruiwang with him!”Hearing this, he knew that King Rui didn't come back to Beijing with the army. He thought that he would have some trouble in front of emperor Yuqian!
Because everyone is busy with the ceremony of Rongrong's imperial concubine's conferment tomorrow, the palace banquet tonight is only for the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty and several accompanying princes and ministers to participate, while for the West Chu, only officials above the third grade are allowed to participate in the banquet!
Although there's no such thing as a great deal of money in every government, tomorrow is to be able to meet the emperor. All the young ladies are in a high mood. They take the newly made clothes and jewelry one by one, and let their mothers and elders help to choose them. They hope that tomorrow they can stand out from the crowd!
Cloud qianmeng looks at Mu Chun with a set of jewelry and the most popular clothes in Kyoto. She is wearing tomorrow's clothes carefully, and feels a headache!
