Chapter one hundred and eighty second war of words
Wuying Hall, this is the place where Zhu Yicheng arranged to accept the Qing envoys today. In addition to Zhu Yicheng, there are also six people including Liao Huanzhi, Wu Sidao, Jiang Jin, Dong Dashan, Zhuang Yan and He Xianzu who were ordered to greet him.
In fact, except for holding a grand dynasty meeting, the emperor rarely attends the main hall, and on weekdays it is more than the side hall office. This Wuying Hall was the place where Emperor Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong manages the daily affairs during the Hongguang Dynasty. For example, this is equivalent to the similarity of the National People's Congress held in later generations and the internal meetings of the Politburo. Of course, the meetings are held in the main hall, that is, the Zhongji Hall. As for small meetings, just find a convenient side hall. This Wuying Hall is such a place.
He took Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing to Wuying Hall. When he arrived outside the hall, He Xianzu smiled and asked them to come later. Then he went into the hall first. The two men, whose faces were as dark as the bottom of the pot, stood outside the hall, but their eyes looked around. Because of the poor maintenance of the Wuying Hall, they had only been simply repaired and put into use recently. In terms of materials and fineness, they were far less than the demeanor in Beijing. However, the great generals standing outside the hall were really heroic and powerful. They were wearing brocade robes and embroidered spring swords on their waists. They stood there and faintly revealed a sharp murderous aura. This was far from comparable to those third-class guards in Beijing who were mostly dressed up in flowery clothes.
He Xianzu went in for a long time. When Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing were waiting outside, a small yellow gate came out of the hall. When they arrived in front of them, they shouted in a sharp voice: "The State Supervisor has an order, Xiao Yongzao, the envoy of the North Chief, Cha Shenxing, will meet with him..."
Xiao Yongzao was about to scold him in an instant, but was stopped by Cha Shenxing. Now there have been 9,999 miles of the west, and the last mile will be reached no matter what. No matter how He Xianzu came to disgust them or the "Northern Chief" whom he deliberately called at the Xiaohuang Gate, he is probably trying to let them retreat and to disrupt the negotiations. Since this is the case, he cannot be fooled. The so-called endurance is calm for a while, and the sea will be broadened. For the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, what is the point of suffering some grievances now?
After tidying up his clothes, Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing walked up the steps and finally entered the Wuying Hall under the guidance of the Xiaohuangmen.
When he entered the hall, he saw a person sitting upright on the throne in front of him. Due to the difference in light inside and outside the hall and the distance was quite far away, he could not see him for a while. However, he saw that the man was wearing four dragon robes, white belts, and winged crowns, and seemed to be the leader of the Southern Thief, the so-called pseudo-Ming Prisoner Zhu Yicheng. There were six people in the lower head. What was strange was that the second person on the left was not standing but sitting. Seeing that the big red official robe he was wearing should be an important figure under Zhu Yicheng. As for He Xianzu, who was leading them in front, was standing on the last one on the right, and above him were two generals.
"The Northern Chief Envoy Xiao Yongzao, Cha Shenxing, meet with him..."
Xiao Huangmen shouted again, Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing came forward without kneeling down, but bowed to Zhu Yicheng, who was in charge of the superior, and said: "Xiao Yongzao of the Qing Dynasty (Cha Shenxing) was ordered by my emperor to meet General Zhu!"
"Bold!" As soon as he finished speaking, He Xianzu scolded, his fat face full of anger: "Why didn't the Northern Chieftain envoy come to see my Daming Supervisor?"
"A bowing ceremony? My Qing Dynasty is as orthodox as it is today. You are just a local warlord. Now I am ordered by the emperor to come here because the emperor is so kind. It is probably because you are bowing to thank God for your kindness. How can you ask me to do this ceremony?" Xiao Yongzao had already been holding a fire in his stomach, and finally came out. He glared at him and rebuked him with a righteous look.
"Bah!" He Xianzu immediately cursed: "The little northern chief took advantage of the danger of my Shenzhou and then luckily entered the Central Plains. The so-called saint has long said that Hu had no fortune for a hundred years. My Ming Dynasty's governor now follows the will of heaven and cleans up the world to return the orthodox world. Now our Ming Dynasty has more powerful soldiers and tens of thousands of warships, occupying half of the south of the Yangtze River. The soldiers are aimed at the Central Plains, and they are invincible. How can a mere northern chief compare with my Ming Dynasty?"
"Haha! Hahaha!" Xiao Yongzao burst out laughing, and then his face was stern: "My Qing Dynasty has a country with a population of 100 million. The emperor has been benevolent since the extreme, and has been benevolent in politics and loving the people, and has been lured by the world, creating a peaceful and prosperous era. If you hadn't done anything against you, raised an army without permission, and harmed the world, how could the people in the world suffer from military disasters? As for what you said, a million soldiers? It's even more a joke! My Qing Dynasty has really owned a million soldiers. If the emperor hadn't been worried about the suffering of the people, he would have long gone to the south. With the power of the Qing Dynasty, it would have been a waste of effort!"
"Mr. Xiao is really sharp-tongued." He Xianzu also laughed: "Since you, Mr. Xiao, are the northern chiefs so kind, how can the world be peaceful and prosperous? Why can the country be responded to by my Ming Dynasty? Why are the rebels rising in this world now? As for where are the so-called millions of troops in your mouth? Then why are this Nanjing city in my Ming Dynasty? Why are you two coming from thousands of miles?"
After a series of rhetorical questions were thrown out, Xiao Yongzao immediately distinguished himself from He Xianzu. The two of them became more and more active in the debate. Then Cha Shenxing couldn't help but join in. The three of them kept talking. Although He Xianzu looked kind and looked peaceful, he was quite a bit like Zhuge Kongming in Jiangdong's refuting the ministers of the Eastern Wu in Jiangdong, and he was not at a disadvantage in the debate.
The three of them argued like this, but everyone present did not persuade each other. On the contrary, they all watched the show with interest. Zhu Yicheng, who was sitting in the upper position, watched with relish and secretly praised He Xianzu's combat power at this moment. Unexpectedly, this guy who was greedy and afraid of death had such a trick. It seemed that he was the right to throw him into the Ministry of Rites.
The three of them went back and forth and debated for a while, and only heard a cough in the hall. Wu Sidao, who had been sitting and not speaking, suddenly spoke: "If I remember well, I think the Qing Dynasty who entered the pass and fought was a slogan of revenge for the late emperor Yizong. After entering the pass, Dorgon personally worshiped the Ming Dynasty's ancestors, and later sacrifices continued. Even the chief of the northern chief Xuanye has come to Nanjing for sacrifices many times. He also erected a monument before the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing. Is there such a thing?"
Wu Sidao suddenly interrupted and immediately interrupted the dispute between the three. Because Wu Sidao's special identity, He Xianzu was of course tactful and immediately shut up and acted like listening to the teachings. As for Xiao Yongzao, although Cha Shenxing and the others did not know who Wu Sidao was, they could see from his position that this person must be a big figure in the pseudo-Ming. What's more, in this hall, except Zhu Yicheng, Wu Sidao was sitting in a big manner.
After exchanging his eyes, Cha Shenxing spoke: "This is indeed the case when Jiangning erected a monument. When the emperor worshiped Xiaoling, he erected a monument to the 'Governance of Tang and Song dynasties'."
Because he was not sure about the other party's intention, Cha Shenxing didn't say much. Moreover, this stele of the Tang and Song dynasty has been erected for a long time, and almost everyone in the world knows that it is impossible to deny it.
Wu Sidao nodded and said, "I have seen this monument with my own eyes. Although Xuanye is from the Northern Chief, he admires me a little bit of his admiration for the Ming Dynasty. Not only did this monument be erected, but there is also a text written, is there?"
"Yes!" This cannot be denied, Cha Shenxing nodded.
"I heard that after erecting this monument, Xuanye also told the world that he had told the ministers that he wanted to visit the descendants of the Ming Dynasty and grant them ranks to be sacrificial to the world. In ancient times, after Xia Yin, Zhou Feng was granted the Qi Song... and others to report to the meeting with the Nine Ministers, can there be any comments?"
"This..." Hearing this sentence, Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing immediately looked at each other. This was indeed what Kangxi had said, and many people knew about it. Although they wanted to deny it in their hearts, they could not deny it.
Seeing the two of them looking embarrassed, Wu Sidao immediately raised his voice and asked, "Since that's the case, why did the Northern Chieftain want to harm my orthodox descendants of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago? I think of my five sons of Yizong, the ancestor of the country's regent, fled to Jiangnan after the treacherous thieves entered the capital. The pseudonym Wang Shiyuan has been living in seclusion in the countryside and never asked about the world. But the Northern Chieftain cannot let this old man who is already seventy-five? Not only did he impose such a false crime on such a false charge, but he would not leave his descendants and men and women... If it weren't for the protection of the decree of heaven back then, how could he be lucky today?"
At this time, Zhu Yicheng, who was sitting, looked sad, and his eyes were crystal clear. When everyone saw it, they hurriedly bowed to the ground, shouting long live the governor's country, and asked Zhu Yicheng to mourn. Zhu Yicheng reluctantly raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, red eyes without saying anything. At this time, Wu Sidao stood up with a bamboo slogan, pointed at Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing, who were embarrassed and scolded: "You are the barbarians in the northern command, and they actually do not understand the way of saints and often do things in vain. How can you know what kind of benevolence, what kind of righteousness, and why is the way of the world?"
Speaking of this, Wu Sidao suddenly turned around and bowed to Zhu Yicheng: "In this way, the benevolence in the northern chief's mouth can be imagined. What the Northern Chief has done is vividly remembered. The so-called justice is in the hearts of the people of the world. How can such a person without benevolence and righteousness occupy the position of this world? I think my Ming Dynasty is here to rise again, and the people of the world are excited. This is the orthodoxy of the world! As for these barbarians who have not been educated and do not understand the way of the saints at all, I would like to ask the country to forgive their crimes of rudeness today."
"But!" Zhu Yicheng, who was sitting on the seat, spoke lightly, and Wu Sidao sat back again as if nothing had happened.
At this time, no one spoke in the hall. Even He Xianzu, who had previously debated, stood back to his original position, lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. As for Xiao Yongzao and Cha Shenxing's faces, they had a blush and a red look, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Now they no longer need to kneel down to Zhu Yicheng, but they felt even more uncomfortable than kneel down.
