The Village Doctress Chapter 814: Victory
As soon as the little emperor finished speaking, the courtiers secretly shifted their peripheral vision to Lin Fufu.
The ministers of the Ministry of Rites and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials are all well aware of the reason for the prevarication.
But that is the matter of the Ministry of Rites and has nothing to do with them, they are just watching a good show.
Let's see how Princess Tiangui makes her decision.
Lin Fufu was already optimistic about Qiao Bonian, so he lowered his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Qiao Bonian is very suitable."
Job Nian is only thirty-two this year. He is the youngest right servant in the Ministry of Rites over the years. He is very upright and dares to take responsibility.
Lin Fufu and Meng Bufan are also very optimistic about him in private, and they also decided to train him in private.
Then it is a very good opportunity for Qiao Bonian to deal with the peace talks in the small country of Nanban.
After hearing Lin Fufu's words, the little emperor immediately looked at Qiao Bonian, "Qiao Qing, the Eldest Princess recognizes you, I wonder if you are willing to take on this matter?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I will never refuse to die!" Qiao Bonian did not refuse the errand, when the little emperor asked, he immediately expressed his willingness to negotiate with the envoys of the Nanman Kingdom.
The courtiers sighed slightly.
After all, for Qiao Bonnian, although this is a good opportunity, it is also a great risk.
But Qiao Bainian himself was not afraid of this risk at all, and no one else could say anything.
At this moment, Lin Fufu glanced at Qiao Bonian with a smile, he really did not disappoint her, very good.
The little emperor glanced at Lin Fufu, saw Lin Fufu nodded slightly, and immediately made a decision on Qiao Bonnian.
"Your Majesty, my daughter suggested that Lu Dayou, the left servant of the Ministry of War, assist Master Qiao in the peace talks." Lin Fufu said after a little thought.
The officials were shocked.
Even Lu Dayou, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was taken aback. The peace talks are a matter for the Ministry of Rites, so why should he be an official of the Ministry of War to assist?
Moreover, his official position is half a year higher than that of Qiao Bo, who is in charge of the peace talks.
No one knows what kind of medicine is sold in Lin Fufu's gourd.
However, those conservative veterans of the imperial court stood up to oppose it one after another.
An old censor took the lead in attacking, "His Royal Highness, it is very inappropriate for you to ask officials from the Ministry of War to assist officials from the Ministry of Rites to negotiate peace. I hope that Your Highness the Great Princess will speak carefully!"
"Yeah, since they are here for peace talks, and they sent people from the Ministry of War, how can this look like peace talks? This is clearly a threat, and the envoys of those small southern barbarian countries will definitely feel dissatisfied, and they will definitely spread the word when they go back. It’s not my big Wei!”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, what Zhang and Wu said is that our Great Wei State is a state of etiquette, how can we let people from the Ministry of War assist?"
…
One person spoke his head, and then a group of old ministers began to accuse Lin Fufu of the absurdity of this move, and there was a tendency to crusade.
Even Lu Dayou, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was said to think that he should not go.
The little emperor was also in a dilemma, and looked at Lin Fufu nervously.
Lin Fufu coldly glanced at the group of chattering veterans, and his voice resounded loudly throughout the Golden Luan Hall: "Your Majesty is young, and Da Wei is now the regent of my palace, so there is a reason for this palace to do so." , and will explain it to all the ministers and workers, what are you in a hurry for?"
As soon as Lin Fufu opened his mouth, the atmosphere froze for a while.
"What Her Royal Highness said is that you elders are too anxious." Old Prime Minister Meng said lightly, and this opening was on Lin Fufu's side.
"Prime Minister, this statement is wrong! No matter how Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess explains, it is inappropriate to send officials from the Ministry of War to negotiate peace with other countries!" The old Zhang Yushi said again.
Lin Fufu glanced at him coldly, "Master Zhang is crazy about reading, you thought the peace talks between the two countries were politely sitting on the table to discuss, right? I'm afraid you still don't know what to do at such an old age." I have heard the saying that a weak country has no diplomacy.”
Lin Fufu's words were clearly calling him an old nerd, Zhang Yushi could hear it naturally, and his old face flushed red in anger.
But he still stubbornly said: "His Royal Highness Princess Chang's words are wrong. Since the defeated countries in Nanban have sent envoys to our Great Wei capital for peace talks, it means that they have shown weakness. Naturally, our Great Wei has an advantageous position when it comes to peace talks. .Why do you need people from the Ministry of War to intimidate them?"
Lin Fufu sneered: "I still have to let the people from the military department intimidate them, how about it?"
Old Yushi Zhang was shaken by Lin Fufu's angry body, and he almost couldn't stand still, so he gasped and said, "It's really...it's really hard to raise only villains and girls!"
"Zhang Yushi be careful!" Meng Bufan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and he glanced coldly at Zhang Lao Yushi.
Zhang Lao Yushi finally stood up straight, but was frightened by Meng Bufan's cold eyes, his body went limp, and his old face instantly turned pale.
"Meng didn't believe in the saying that scholars were wronging the country before, but seeing Zhang Lao Yushi say such ridiculous words today, it can be seen that this sentence is confirmed! Princess Tiangui's decision is not wrong, it couldn't be more right! If everyone listens to your words, the victory in Southern Xinjiang will be for nothing!" Meng Bufan sneered.
Then he took a step forward and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, the advice of Her Highness the Eldest Princess is very correct! The time I have dealt with the Nanmanzi is not short, and I know the Nanmanzi best, they are extremely cunning If you are strong, he will show weakness, if you are weak, he will bully, and he will take advantage of everything. What's more, the envoys they sent to negotiate, who are not cunning and eloquent? So I think that there is an official from the Ministry of War to cooperate Negotiating with the Ministry of Rites is the best idea to suppress them!"
As soon as Meng Bufan's words fell, Qiu Daqin also went up and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Meng's words are very fair. He has dealt with the Nanmanzi the most and defeated the Nanmanzi coalition army. Naturally, he knows the Nanmanzi very well, so The minister also agrees with the proposal of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and asks Master Lu, the left servant of the Ministry of War to assist Master Qiao of the Ministry of Rites to participate in the peace talks!"
Then Prime Minister Meng seconded the proposal.
Some cutting-edge ministers also seconded the proposal one after another.
The little emperor naturally agreed with Lin Fufu's suggestion, so he quickly agreed.
Lu Dayou, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was only forty years old, and he belonged to the radical faction in the court, so Lin Fufu also chose him.
In this way, the main candidates for the peace talks have been decided.
After coming down to court, Lin Fufu left behind Qiao Bonian and Lu Dayou, and together with Meng Bufan, Qiu Daqin and Prime Minister Meng went to the little emperor's imperial study to discuss matters.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Wei finally arranged peace talks with the defeated countries of the Nanman.
At the beginning of the negotiations, before the Nanman envoys came to the Great Wei, their respective monarchs also made it clear that the Great Wei State is not what it used to be, and some compensation is necessary, just to save face.
But it is impossible to accept the compensation of tens of millions of taels of silver and the need for them to pay tribute every year.
On that day, Qiao Bonian verbally fought against the group of envoys, resolutely disagreeing with the request of the defeated countries of the Southern Man to reduce the punishment and not to pay tribute to the Great Wei.
The peace talks reached an impasse.
At every critical point, Lu Dayou, the left servant of the Ministry of War, uttered the words that Lin Fufu and Meng Bufan had prepared for him, and helped Qiao Bonian control the situation of the peace talks from the side.
The peace talks on the first day did not make any substantive progress, and the talks will be postponed.
In the second peace talks, some envoys from the defeated countries in the Southern Barbarians could no longer resist Wei's toughness, and began to relax the conditions on their own initiative, expressing their willingness to compensate Wei for the war losses, compensate Wei with several million taels of silver and offer this There are several specialties of the country.
But Qiao Bonian refused straight away, and the envoys were furious and uttered threatening words, and Lu Dayou sent him back.
On the third day, the envoys from various countries really saw Wei's toughness, because Wei did not even agree to their willingness to pay tens of millions of taels of silver and offer some special products from various countries.
Negotiations broke up again.
On the fourth day, both the Wei side and the Nanman side began to slap the table and scold their mothers, but the negotiations were still deadlocked.
The four days of negotiations did not yield any benefits. The Great Wei State was not afraid of their various threats at all, while the envoys of the Nanban countries had already shown their timidity.
The envoys were helpless, and began to write letters back to their respective countries.
On Wei's side, the negotiating officials headed by Qiao Bonian and Lu Dayou were also very tired, but those cunning southern barbarians did not take advantage of it, which made all the officials involved in the peace talks proud.
Even seeing the ridiculous appearance of those cunning southern barbarians jumping angrily, they were very happy.
At the same time, Lin Fufu sent the newly promoted young generals to the south in advance.
The task of these young generals on this trip is to lead the trained soldiers from southern Xinjiang to approach the borders of the defeated countries of the Southern Barbarians.
When the letters sent back from the Nanman envoys from the Great Wei arrived in the hands of the kings of the Nanman countries, it was the time when the Great Wei soldiers came under pressure.
The monarchs of the defeated Southern Barbarians did not expect that the always magnanimous Wei would be so strong this time, that if there was a disagreement, soldiers would crush the land to destroy the foundation of their rule.
The monarchs of these southern barbarian countries became frightened, and contacted them in private, wanting to make a final struggle, but after contacting, they found out that every defeated country was sent troops to the border by the Great Wei State. panicked.
The peace talks in the Great Wei capital are still going on.
However, the monarchs of the defeated countries in the Southern Barbarians saw that the Wei soldiers on the border had no plans to withdraw their troops at all, and they still understood that this was clearly Wei's warning to them. If they disagreed with the conditions proposed by Wei, they would His reign is over.
In desperation, I had no choice but to write back to the envoys of various countries.
On the fifteenth day of the fifth month, Wei won the greatest elation in a century.
The thirteen small kingdoms of the Nanman collectively professed their vassals and fully accepted the terms of the peace talks proposed by the Great Wei.
It was not until the last moment that the envoys of the Nanman countries realized that the Great Wei State had set up a scheme early in the morning to force the defeated countries in the Nanman to accept the terms of the peace talks unconditionally.
The appearance of the peace talks is just for the subordinate and non-dependent countries of the Great Wei to see.
After this battle, the great Wei Guowei once again flourished.
Some small countries that once looked down on the big Wei country and were soft-hearted have also become honest.
The whole country of Wei Dynasty celebrates.
The popularity of Lin Fufu, the eldest princess of the regent of the Great Wei Dynasty, reached its peak.
Above the court, no matter how rebellious the old officials are, they are sincerely convinced by the regent princess.
