Chapter 431 Jiaozhi Ministers: The Northern Dynasty can sign the Chanyuan Alliance,(1/2)
I can sign too
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Xu, surrounded by the two palaces, came to the small hall under the inner east gate and summoned Fan Chunren, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.
Immediately, the hall was announced to be locked.
The eyes of the entire Bianjing City were fixed on him.
At dawn the next morning, two lines of xuanma made books and descended from the palace.
Deng Runfu, a Hanlin bachelor, accepted the decree and became a Hanlin bachelor, and was granted the title of Shangshu Youcheng; Li Chang, the imperial censor Zhongcheng, was appointed a subordinate minister.
When the news came out, countless people were surprised.
When Deng Runfu entered the two mansions, everyone was prepared.
But Li Chang and Li Gongze?
Is he worthy?
For a time, people were saying all kinds of weird things.
Some people even privately encouraged the people in charge to refute Li Chang's request to make books.
After Li Chang heard the news, he was almost overjoyed.
He has been busy building a relationship with Zhang Fangping recently, trying to get into the editing and editing bureau of "Yuanyou Dictionary".
This time the Prime Minister came to Tingtui, and he had no hope at all.
In his opinion, there are too many competitors.
He can't win at all!
Unexpectedly, he won in the end!
When news came out from the palace, it turned out that Wang Cun, Zeng Xiaokuan and Han Zhongyan, who had received more votes than him, were rejected because they lacked state, county and road level resumes.
Only then did the ruling position fall into his hands.
This made Li Chang shout lucky.
Immediately order your family to prepare the incense table at home to welcome the angel who may arrive at any time.
He himself went into the study and began to write a letter of thanks.
You have to write three copies!
One for the emperor, one for the empress dowager, and one for the empress dowager.
A process like this must be followed, and it must be written carefully and well. It cannot be done perfunctorily, let alone copying standard answers.
Otherwise it may be considered disrespectful.
…
Li Chang was busy writing a thank you form at home.
Liang Congzheng, the emissary sent by the Empress Dowager, has arrived at Zeng Bu's home.
Opening the white linen paper, Liang Congzheng faced Zeng Bu who was kneeling in front of the incense table and began to read in a cadence: "Zeng Bu, a distinguished official, has great moral character and mellow temperament... However, he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Economics, and was specially awarded as the former official. Taizhong Dafu, a bachelor of Duanming Palace, knows Yangzhou military and state affairs, and his kindness and regulations are regarded as governing."
"Your Majesty, Bu, I would like to express my sincere thanks and thank you again!" Zeng Bu bowed excitedly and bowed his head again.
Then he stepped forward to receive the edict, and his family members immediately thrust the handful of notes they had prepared into Liang Congzheng's hands.
Now that Jiaozi's credibility had been established, he quickly occupied the government offices.
Whether it's those shady things or the now customary 'travel fee', Jiaozi has become the main body of payment.
After all, this thing is really convenient to use.
Moreover, the printing is exquisite and the recognition is very high. Most people can master some characteristics of identifying authenticity after using it a few times.
As a result, in a short period of time, it has swept across both inside and outside Bianjing, and has a strong tendency to spread to the surrounding areas.
Liang Congzheng stretched out his hand and touched the jiaozi in his sleeve, and he knew that these were probably twenty jiaozi each, about ten in total.
So he glanced at Zeng Bu with admiration, and then revealed a secret to Zeng Bu: "Duanming's time is just bad luck. The next time there is a shortage in the palace, it will be the day Duanming returns to the court."
After Zeng Bu heard this, he immediately said: "God's grace is so great, how dare you think too much about it?"
But his face was already flushed.
That cool umbrella finally waved to him, and it was worthy of his hard work for so many years.
…
Bingzi (nineteenth day) of the third month of the first year of Yuanyou.
Li Changjie knelt on the ground, listening to the envoy from Shenglong Mansion read out the edict from Shenglong Mansion.
After half a day of failure, the Shenglong Mansion was furious, and the courtiers even criticized him crazily.
Even the emperor, who had always had great trust in him, seemed to be shaken this time.
The wording in the edict contained euphemistic accusations for the first time.
After listening to the edict, Li Changjie stood up.
The minister who was ordered to read out the imperial edict carefully approached him and whispered: "Lieutenant, Your Majesty is not feeling well in court."
"Many court officials are saying that it would be better to hand over Yang Jingtong and the person who wrote the anti-poetry, and bribe the Northern Dynasty with heavy sums of money in order to persuade the Northern Dynasty to withdraw its troops."
Li Changjie suddenly became angry. He glared at the minister: "Who said that?"
The minister said: "Many people..."
It is an extremely narrow and dangerous place and is indestructible.
In the last war, Juili Pass was held for more than twenty days.
Even not counting the early actions of the Northern Army, they still held the position for at least three days.
Now, it fell half a day after the war started.
What makes Shenglong Mansion even more frightened is that the entire Jiangbei region, including Sumao Prefecture, Silang Prefecture, Men Prefecture, and most of Qiyuan Prefecture and Guangyuan Prefecture, have almost all fallen into the hands of the Beibing.
The northern troops were overwhelming and ready to attack Shenglong Mansion.
Yesterday, someone even reported that Northern Dynasty riders appeared on the north bank of the Furiang River. They were looking for a crossing point along the river bank.
For the pampered nobles and civil servants in Sheng Long Mansion, this was like a bolt from the blue.
When the Fura River became no longer safe, they couldn't even sleep.
A lot of rumors spread in Thang Long Palace.
Some people say that the Northern Dynasty sent more than 100,000 troops, including 30,000 Western troops, all of whom were cavalry, and were about to overwhelm Shenglong Mansion.
It is also said that not only 100,000 people came from the Northern Dynasty, but 200,000 people came!
The Western Army has more than 50,000 troops, all of whom are the elite of hundreds of battles along the border.
What's more, some people say that in Guangzhou in the Northern Dynasty, they saw with their own eyes that the Northern Dynasty sent a large number of giant ships southward from the north.
Among them there is even a giant ship that is as strong as a small mountain and is not afraid of wind and waves.
As a result, Thang Long Mansion became even more panicked, and it was said that some people had begun to flee south.
Even the emperor had to give an order to mobilize a large army to guard the mouth of the river to guard against the invasion of the Northern Dynasty navy.
These rumors caused people in Shenglong Mansion to panic, and many people in the court did not want to fight.
Some members of the clan have already proposed that although what the Northern Dynasty wants is an insult to the national dignity, for the sake of the livelihood of the people of the world, I beg your majesty to be patient for the sake of the country and negotiate peace with it.
What's the condition?
It's totally negotiable.
Yang Jingtong is a dead man in the futures market, so he can agree to hand it over to the Northern Dynasty for disposal.
The guy who wrote random anti-poems can also be handed over.
As for half a million shi of rice per year?
give him!
Our country, Vietnam, has thousands of miles of fertile land, and three crops per year. A mere 500,000 dan can be exchanged for a long country. Why not?
Taiwei Li Changjie is His Majesty's buttocks, so naturally he cannot be handed over.
However, Your Majesty can learn from the Northern Dynasties.
Just add New Year coins.
How could the Northern Dynasty refuse an additional two hundred thousand shi of rice a year?
To sum it up: use money to buy peace.
Moreover, these clans are in a hurry.
Although the emperor sternly refused, he did not want to accept such a condition that would be humiliating and humiliating the country without even a fight.
But the clan members were very impatient.
To be continued...
