Domineering Daming

After Fan Wencheng got out of the big tent, he also let out a sigh of relief, looking in the direction of Ningyuan City, his eyes flashed hatred.

"I, Fan Wencheng, am not an ordinary person after all, how can the imperial examinations stop me! I will let you know today that I, Fan Wencheng, cannot be bullied!"

He went back to his camp, packed his things, and planned how to get Sun Chengzong to agree to a peace negotiation, and at the same time obtain the maximum benefit for Hou Jin.

Nei Zhuxu in Ningyuan City didn't know yet, and had been waiting for Huang Taiji to attack the city.

In the side room, the supervisor of ceremonies transcribed the memorabilia sent by Jin Yiwei, which was piled up on the desk beside him.

He flipped through the pages one by one, nodding from time to time.

With Zhu Youjian's "cooperation", many things went smoothly, especially the customs and sea trade that Zhu Xu cared about, have been set up and are being stepped up.

But some things, even with Zhu Youjian's cooperation, are not so easy to accomplish.For example, the reform of the tax system by the Ministry of Households, the reform of the examination by the Ministry of Officials, and the dispatch of personnel from the Ministry of Punishment to various places, etc., these involve a huge amount, especially when it comes to the localities, the control of the imperial court has weakened sharply, and even if it is forced to promote, it will not have much effect.

Zhu Xu also had expected it a long time ago, silently remembered it in his heart, and continued to flip through it.

"what?"

Zhu Xu held up the newly opened notebook to his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

Zhu Youjian recommended Wen Tiren to serve as Minister of Rites, and Zhou Yanru to serve as Minister of Taichang Temple, and hoped that Wen Tiren would preside over this year's imperial examination.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, with a faint smile on his face.

It was not surprising that Wen Tiren became an official again, and Zhu Xu was not surprised, nor was he surprised that he was approved by the king of trust. What was surprising was that Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren, the enemies, met again.

Zhu Xu put the excerpt aside, "keep it in the middle and not publish it", and continued to publish it.

King Ping made a report, and the Governor's Council was initially perfected and ready to perform its duties.

Yang Lian, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, made a memorial to impeach the governor of Henan Province for embezzling and accepting bribes.

The governor of Shaanxi, the chief envoy, and the recruiting envoy jointly signed the petition. There is a severe drought in northern Shaanxi and thousands of miles of barren land. Please reduce taxes and distribute Fuyin food.

There are so many troubles, Zhu Xu has to be patient, to distinguish, and then to approve how to deal with them.

Until the evening, Zhu Xu couldn't rest for a moment.

When Sun Chengzong came back from his tour of the city several times, he always saw Zhu Xu looking at Zhezi with a calm expression, but he was quite relieved in his heart.

At this time, Yang Lin walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Jiannu sent envoys to discuss peace."

Zhu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Huang Taiji still wants to negotiate a peace? Not to attack the city?"

Sun Chengzong also walked in afterward, saluted briefly and said: "Return to the emperor, it seems to be the case, Huang Taiji also knows that attacking the city will not be beneficial, but I don't know, what is his idea for this peace negotiation."

Zhu Xu put down the notebook, thought for a while and said, "It can't be so easily, who is here?"

Yang Lin said: "It's a man named Fan Wencheng, he's a rebel."

Zhu Xu frowned, raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun Ge, go see him and put some pressure on him."

Sun Chengzong understood and said: "Observe the order."

Sun Chengzong turned around and went to the lobby, where Zhu Xu sat there, tapping his fingers on the table, thoughtful.

"Let's go and have a look together." Zhu Xu got off the ground and followed to the lobby.

Yang Lin knew Zhu Xu's purpose, followed behind him, and said with an idea: "Your Majesty, if you want to force Jiannu to attack the city in anger, it is better to kill this Fan Wencheng and hang his body on the city gate. Look at the thief. Can the Chieftain hold back!"

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "It's not good to kill people. I don't like killing people. The function of the living is far more than that of the dead. Even waste can be used, don't you think?"

Listening to Zhu Xu's words, Yang Lin found it strange and couldn't understand, but he could only nod his head and say yes to what the emperor said.

When Zhu Xu came to the side door, Sun Chengzong was already sitting on the main seat, and started a conversation with Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng looked at Sun Chengzong, his face remained motionless, the indifference in his eyes quickly disappeared, he was quite confident, and said indifferently: "Master Sun, my Dajin Khan sent an envoy into the city the day before yesterday, and he has not returned yet. Can you explain, Mr. Sun?" one time?"

After all, Sun Chengzong is not Zhu Xu, he can't play tricks, he pays attention to "rules", but he is not pedantic. He looked at Fan Wencheng condescendingly and said: "If you want to fight, you can fight. If you don't talk about peace, I will live and die with Ningyuan City. If there is no In other words, your envoy, please go back."

Fan Wencheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was startled in his heart. Sun Chengzong was so stubborn when he came up, was he really not afraid, or was he just bluffing?

Sahalian was not the purpose of his trip either. Fan Wencheng looked at Sun Chengzong calmly and said, "Master Sun really thinks that my Dajin can't break through this Ningyuan City? With an army of [-], within half a day, I can guarantee that Master Sun will He will become a prisoner, and Ningyuan City will definitely not stay behind!"

As soon as Sun Chengzong slapped the table, he stood up and scolded: "Huh, I really don't believe it! If the bandit chief doesn't dare to attack the city, you go back and tell him, I will immediately chop off the heads of Hauge and others and hang them on the city gate, so that they can be killed." He comes out to see!"

Fan Wencheng's eyelids twitched, his face changed, and he said with a sneer, "Master Sun, I, Da Jin, have the sincerity to negotiate a peace, but you refuse it. You insist on going to war, not to mention the destruction of the city, even if you defend it, your emperor will I won't let you go, will I?"

Zhu Xu listened at the side door, with a cold expression and anger surging in his heart.It really is a rebellious, unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!

Chapter 331

Sun Chengzong put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Even if you kill yourself with a knife and an axe, I will never make peace with Jiannu! You go back and tell the bandit chief that he hopes that he will attack the city immediately, otherwise we will wait for the food and grass to run out. Hundreds of thousands, I will personally choose a feng shui treasure for him to bury!"

Fan Wencheng stood there, looking at Sun Chengzong with cold eyes, he could feel that Sun Chengzong was persecuting him, or forcing Huang Taiji to attack the city!

The more worried he was, the more confident Sun Chengzong was, the less likely Huang Taiji would get what he wanted, and even Sun Chengzong was still plotting against Huang Taiji.

But he calmed down in a blink of an eye, and said in a deep voice: "Master Sun, don't think about it. It is only four hundred miles from Shenyang to Shanhaiguan. It takes only half a day to mobilize grain and grass to Guangning. Let alone Jinzhou, it will take half a year to besiege Ningyuan. It's absolutely possible, but I don't know if Master Sun can survive in Ningyuan City for half a year!"

Sun Chengzong looked at Fan Wencheng, smiled calmly, and said: "It seems that you really don't understand soldiers, well, then the officer will wait and see off the guests!"

After all, Fan Wencheng was still not as good as the old-fashioned Sun Chengzong. He stared at Sun Chengzong with flickering eyes and said: "Master Sun, it seems that we are determined to fight."

Sun Chengzong said decisively: "If you don't fight, you have to fight! If Huang Taiji doesn't attack the city within half an hour after you go back, I will cut off the heads of Haug, Azig, Sahalian, Yue Tuo and others. On the door!"

Hauge is Huang Taiji's eldest son, Azig is Huang Taiji's brother, Yue Tuo is Daishan's eldest son, each of these is very important, if all the heads are hung on the city gate, then Huang Taiji can't influence Yes, all gold soldiers must go crazy.

Fan Wencheng took a deep breath and said, "War is just a tool. Mr. Sun might as well say clearly how to negotiate a peace. My Dajin seeks peace through war. I hope Liaodong can be stable and there will be no war..."

Sun Chengzong looked at Fan Wencheng, and his expression moved slightly. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Xu standing at the side door. He pondered and said, "Let's talk about you first."

Fan Wencheng's face was sombre, and he said with full confidence: "As long as Daming gives up Linghe Fort and Youtun, compensation will be made..."

Sun Chengzong waved his hand and said: "I am very busy, if you are bored, you can go back and persuade Huang Taiji to attack the city."

Fan Wencheng's eyes turned cold, and he said: "Master Sun, do you really have no sincerity at all? Today you can resist my Dajin's soldiers, and in the future my Dajin will also attack the city with cannons. Can you still be so calm? If tomorrow In a few days, Ting will call you back to deal with the crime, and change someone else, will he be able to defend Jinzhou and Ningyuan?"

Sun Chengzong's expression did not fluctuate, and said: "Come, see off!"

Fan Wencheng's heart turned cold, and he hurriedly said: "Master Sun, if you have something to say, you may as well speak it out, my Dajin can discuss everything!"

"No need."

Zhu Xu came out from inside, he couldn't bear it anymore, he really wanted to draw his knife and stab him to death.

Fan Wencheng's face changed slightly, and he looked at the person who came out.
