Nightwatcher Chapter 95: The delegation to Beijing
Latest URL:
The princes in the Jinluan Temple have already received the news. They were not surprised when they heard that. Qian Qingshu, the first assistant, stood up and expressed his views:
"This strategy may be a countermeasure for the rebels. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Without waiting for Emperor Yongxing to speak, someone immediately stood up to refute:
"When did Qian Shoufu come to such a tacit understanding with Governor Yang?"
The one who spoke was one of the leaders in the spurt in the Ministry of Defense.
Qian Qingshu frowned, looked at the affairs of the Ministry of War, and said lightly:
"Sir Yan, what is your opinion."
While the Ministry of War is all about it, he said loudly:
"Your Majesty, since the autumn harvest, one hundred thousand troops have been buried in Jingshan City by Wei Yuan. After the winter, nearly sixty thousand elites have been damaged in Qingzhou. If we continue to fight like this, the soldiers I will serve will be exhausted. .
"The refugees everywhere are in disasters, and the military is in short supply. The Ministry of War has been unable to send troops and horses to support Yongzhou. The minister believes that peace talks is the right move and can solve the imperative of the imperial court."
Shangshu of the Ministry of War was hesitant to speak, sighed, and chose silence.
"Relieving the urgent need?"
Youdu Yushi Zhang Xingying coldly hummed:
"If you want to negotiate a peace, the rebels must speak loudly. I'm afraid that afterwards, the court will have no more power to fight against it. Master Yan does not understand the principle of cutting meat with a blunt knife?"
At this time, Hubu Shangshu went out and said in a deep voice:
"Zhang Yushi is so insightful and insightful about the situation, it's better to let you do it as I am a Shangshu at the Ministry of Households..."
After speaking, with a sneer, he said in a loud voice to Emperor Yongxing:
"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty. If the court continues to fight with the Yunzhou rebels, sooner or later it will be dragged down by the war. The spring festival is approaching, and the earth rejuvenates. What we need is time. And for peace, we can just buy time and let us survive. Cold disaster."
The main battle faction and the main peace faction immediately pinched, arguing endlessly.
Every time the situation is out of control, Zhao Xuanzhen whipped his whip and yelled "quiet".
Emperor Yongxing silently watched the debate among the public, until more and more people expressed their opinions, and the main faction gradually overwhelmed the main battle faction. Then he looked at Zhao Xuanzhen and motioned with his eyes.
Slap!
Zhao Xuanzhen whipped the whip again, and the bright and foreseeable ground made a crisp sound, quieting the arguing in the hall.
Emperor Yongxing looked around the people and said slowly:
"I am sympathetic to the soldiers and the people, and I can't bear to fight arbitrarily and negotiate peace. That's it."
............
Imperial City, Royal Mansion.
The luxury carriage stopped outside the mansion. Qian Qingshu, supported by his servants, stepped out of the car on a small stool. The guards outside the palace knew his identity and did not stop him.
Walking into the mansion all the way, a moment later in the inner hall, the butler led him into the inner courtyard and came to Wang Shoufu's bedroom.
A decent person like Wang Shoufu, seeing the guest is not in the study, but in the bedroom, it can be seen how serious the condition is.
The beast is golden and charcoal, radiating warmth, the doors and windows of the bedroom are closed, and there are two maidservants in the outer room and the inner room.
Wang Shoufu sat leaning back with a soft pillow on his back.
His skinny shape is pierced, his face is difficult to hide, but his eyes are still bright and energetic.
"Oh!"
Qian Qingshu sighed: "Why doesn't your disease get better?"
He said and waved his hand to make the maids retreat.
"Perhaps the end is approaching, right." Wang Zhenwen smiled:
"As soon as a person gets older, the disease comes down like a mountain, and the gods are hard to save. The so-called fifty knowing the destiny is the destiny, so let it go."
Qian Qingshu pondered for a moment and said:
"I shouldn't have come to you, it's important to make you feel at ease, but..."
Wang Zhenwen raised his hand to interrupt, pointed at the window, and said:
"Help me open the window first."
Qian Qingshu frowned:
"It's freezing cold, and the window is open, can your bones stand?"
Wang Zhenwen waved his hand:
"The twilight in this room makes me uncomfortable. Wouldn't it be easier to get sick? Stop talking nonsense, and quickly open the window."
Qian Qingshu hesitated for a while, walked to the window and opened a small opening to let the cold but fresh wind blow into the house.
He returned to the bed, sat down on the round stool, and said in his heart:
"Qingzhou is lost."
Seeing that Wang Zhenwen did not speak, he also fell silent. After a while, Wang Zhenwen's voice was low:
"You continue........."
"Jianzheng died in Qingzhou. The rebels now occupy Qingzhou and confront Yang Gong at the border of Yongzhou... Yesterday, the chief ambassador of Yongzhou Yao Hong handed it up, Yunzhou wanted to send The delegation enters the discussion and..."
Wang Zhenwen listened without saying a word, did not move during the period, and his eyes seemed to freeze.
When Qian Qingshu finished speaking, his eyes moved slightly, and he regained his anger:
"Your Majesty agreed?"
He has a deep disappointment in his tone.
Qian Qingshu nodded gently:
"There is no choice. Dafeng has lost his supervision, and his extraordinary combat power is vacant. It is like a flock without a leader, and sooner or later, people will lose heart. If you continue to fight, what is the use.
"Translocation, I am afraid I will be like him..."
I suddenly realized that what I said was disrespectful, and sighed and changed my words:
"It's the same with other princes."
Wang Zhenwen nodded slowly after hearing the words, saying:
"People got this right, and when the winning ticket was in hand, they took the initiative to send missions to negotiate."
Qian Qingshu gave a wry smile:
"There are many smart people, but they all pretend to be fools. Who doesn’t know the truth, but what can be done? Recently, the people in Beijing have been panicked, and the public has been forced to calm down. In fact, they have been scared and even thought that they are daring. It's not a matter of time to perish.
"It is commendable to be loyal without finding another way out.
"Your Majesty himself knows that peace talks are cutting meat with a dull knife, but what can he do? Peace talks are his only hope. He will catch it desperately, and then tell himself that all this is to buy time and wait for the cold. The disaster is over."
Wang Zhenwen was silent for a while, saying:
"Don't talk about this, you think of a way to get Xu Qi'an to see me."
"He?"
Qian Qingshu smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Who can see this uncle, I don't even know where he is."
"He is in the capital, he must be in the capital now." Wang Zhenwen covered his mouth and coughed violently, "The prison is dead, he will definitely come back, hey, the Yunzhou rebels want to negotiate a peace, it depends on whether he agrees. "
Qian Qingshu got up, strode to the window, closed the window, turned around and said:
"Do you think Xu Yinluo can solve this crisis?"
Wang Zhenwen was silent, after a long time, he whispered:
"Even if Wei Yuan is resurrected, he won't be able to play this dead game."
...........
Si Tianjian.
In the seventh-floor pill room, Xu Qi'an didn't even return home, so he went straight to find Song Qing.
"I have all the materials for the soul-bearing banners, but there is a supplementary material."
Xu Qi'an took out the fragments of the book from the earth, two jade bottles emitting a cold and gloomy atmosphere, a stone full of honeycomb-shaped holes, and a ball of black silk that emits poisonous gas.
Song Qing quickly took Bidu Pill, covered her mouth and nose with a silk cloth soaked in the medicine, and then pulled out the cork of the porcelain bottle to confirm the material.
In the porcelain bottle are the nails of ancient corpses, and the dark corpse water extracted from the arteries of the neck.
After confirming the Mingjinshi and the silk that emits poisonous gas, Song Qing said:
"The last piece of material is the skin and flesh of Wei Yuan's original body for positioning. But Wei Yuan's body was destroyed in Jingshan City and must have been recovered."
In fact, Wei Yuan's body was swallowed by Joan, and Song Qing didn't know the details.
"So what?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"The blood of the children can be replaced." Song Qing said slowly.
Wei Gong has long since died out.........Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart, and his tone was low:
"It must be replaced by other methods, otherwise the supervisor won't let me find the magic weapon for refining the spirit banner."
Song Qing stared at him:
"Wei Yuan has no heirs, but you were promoted to the third rank based on his blood pills. In a sense, you are his heirs.
"So next, you have to make a blood pill. It doesn't need to be too much. Your fingernails will squeeze. This will not affect your cultivation.
"Then, you have to help me get rid of the poison contained in Nether silk, the poison of the descendants of gods and demons, I can't get rid of it."
Xu Qian's eyes swept across the Nether Silk:
"It takes three days to refine the bleeding pills to get rid of the toxicity.
"None of this is a problem. The real problem is, can you do with such a powerful magic weapon as the soul-raising flag?"
The Supervisor is no longer there, Sun Xuanji is recovering from his injuries, Yang Qianhuan is not in the capital at this time, and Song Qing has the highest status as the Sitian Supervisor.
But Song Qing is only a sixth-rank alchemist.
As a tycoon in the field of alchemy, Song Qing has a deep understanding of herself and has a high respect for alchemy. He will never succeed. He shook his head decisively:
"I can't!
"Metals like Mingjinshi cannot be melted by fire, and fire spirits must be gathered in a fire formation to melt it.
"Well, I can use some combustion-supporting materials to increase the flame temperature, but I need to build a new furnace. The combustion-supporting materials are my original creation, and the Sitianjian has no reserves.
"This alone will take half a month."
Song Qingka has been immersed in alchemy for many years, and has explored many ways to replace formations, but these methods are definitely not convenient for direct formation.
"So you need to replace the combustion-supporting material with a gas machine, melt the gold stone, and refine the poles of the spirit banner. As for the banner cloth of the spirit banner, you can only wait for Brother Sun to heal from his injury. Because the process of weaving requires constant Melt into the formation."
Xu Qi'an listened patiently and said:
"If you practice the spirit-recruiting banners, can you wake up Wei Gong?"
Song Qing still shook her head:
"Then it is to portray the yin gathering array, waiting for one of the three most yin-qi moments of the year, and it is up to you to summon Wei Yuan's soul."
Xu Qi'an frowned:
"When was the last time?"
Song Qing did not think, and replied:
"Spring Festival Day!"
About a month..... Xu Qi'an let out a sigh of relief, thinking this is acceptable.
.............
On this day, a long boat that soared through the clouds, broke through the sea of clouds, and slowly landed on the boundary of the capital.
Yufengzhou, this artifact was originally from Dongfang Wanrong, but it fell into Ji Xuan's hands during the battle of Jianzhou. This boat travels thousands of miles a day and is an extremely rare large-scale transportation tool.
Three people stood on the head of the boat. In the middle was a young man in Chinese clothes, with handsome features and gentle temperament, holding a small silver-boned fan in his hand.
His appearance is four to five points similar to Ji Xuan, but his temperament is completely different. Ji Xuan is masculine, but his edge is hidden.
This young man has a bookish air and an arrogance filled with knowledge.
On the left and right, there are the black boy Xu Yuanhuai and the cold girl Xu Yuanshuang.
These three are the core figures of the mission. In addition to them, there are also a negotiating team composed of sixteen well-established scholars.
And a hundred elite guards with good cultivation.
"The capital........."
The small silver-bone fan in Ji Yuan's hand turned a few times and smiled:
"Famous and admired for a long time, Yuan Huai Yuanshuang, are you not happy?"
Xu Yuanhuai and Xu Yuanshuang are both indifferent to strangers. One is indifferent and the other is cold, which is related to the environment they have lived in since childhood.
But they really can't be happy. Anyone can tell who their father is asking them to negotiate in Beijing.
"I heard that outside the city of Yongzhou, Xu Qi'an showed mercy to your two men and didn't hurt the killer. When you enter Beijing, you two must protect me." Ji Yuan said with a smile:
"That guy is reluctant to kill his younger brother and sister~ IndoMTL.com~ to kill my cousin, I’m afraid I won’t even blink."
Seeing that his cousin's expression is faint, he feels boring, and said with emotion:
"This time I came to Beijing, firstly, to gain greater benefits for Qianlong City. Secondly, to do meritorious service. Seventh brother is already an extraordinary powerhouse, but I have not done anything. If I can do this job well. Beautiful and bright, my father will pay more attention to our brother. The position of the seventh brother is more stable.
"The third thing is to test Dafeng's current confidence. Your eldest brother is my first test. Tsk tsk, do you think he has thought about peace talks?"
Xu Yuanshuang said lightly:
"He won't!
"This person would rather bend than bend."
Ji Yuan nodded, then said:
"Strong temperament does not mean pedantic. If he agrees to the peace talks, it is a slow-down strategy, which means that Dafeng has a back hand."
While speaking, Yufengzhou slowly stopped outside the capital.
The yamen responsible for welcoming the Yunzhou delegation are Hongxi Temple and Pedestrian Division. The leader is Hongxiqing. The official residence is the third grade, which really gives Yunzhou a lot of face.
Honghesiqing is a middle-aged man with goat's whiskers and a thin face. He has deep crow's feet and laughs all the time.
Science of humanity, smooth handling.
He led his subordinates to face Yufengzhou and waited for the Yunzhou delegation to come down.
But wait and wait, wait and wait, the Yufeng Boat was quiet, no one was seen, and no pedal was lowered.
Fifteen minutes later, a guard poked his head from the side of the ship and said loudly:
"Dare to ask who the lord is?"
Honghe Siqing piled up a professional smile and said:
"The official Hongyou Temple Qing."
The guard uttered "Oh", his head retracted, and after ten breaths, he stuck his head out and said lightly:
"My son said, you are not enough, please go back."
