The emperor is embarrassed

The performance of the little emperor of Dafeng Dynasty made Chen Jingzhong almost delusional to think that he was the one who was beaten to the door of his house and could only hide in the city.

Chen Jingzhong was extremely displeased that only Zhang Shu was sent to see him, because if the little emperor had such a gesture, Chen Jingzhong could already foresee that the conditions he raised would be difficult for the little emperor to agree to.

After all, Chen Jingzhong has people from the city government, even if he is unhappy, he will not throw plates and bowls to show Zhang Shu's face, he directly got up and said, "Since the emperor of your country does not want to summon this king, this king should go back."

"Your Highness." Zhang Shu naturally wanted to stop him, and said with a gentle smile, "The last time I went to His Highness, His Highness treated me well. This time, when Your Highness came to the imperial capital, even if there is no order from His Majesty, I will Please order to meet with His Highness, to do the landlord's favor."

Zhang Shu had a very good demeanor, and asked with a smile, "If there is any need for a minister, His Highness just ask, and the minister will definitely do his best for His Highness."

Chen Jingzhong couldn't help sneering when he heard this, "Master Zhang will make Xiao Wang think that we Tatars are the defeated side."

"Yes." Without His Majesty's confession, he really couldn't say such words.Zhang Shu stroked the neat short beard on his lips, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you lost again the day before yesterday, didn't you?"

Chen Jingzhong's face darkened in an instant, and Zhang Shu hurriedly continued, "However, I think His Majesty's purpose of coming here is peace. My Majesty has always been compassionate, and we Chinese people also yearn for peace and tranquility. If we all have the same purpose, then it is better to sit down and talk about it than to use swords and guns, isn't it? Therefore, His Majesty sent a minister to receive His Highness Chen Wang."

"I am here for the sake of peace." Chen Jingzhong said lightly, "but unfortunately, your emperor did not show enough sincerity to win the peace of our Tatars. Mr. Zhang, last time you went to us as an envoy Tatar, the Khan did not treat you in the slightest. Today, I came to the imperial capital, and I am Khan’s uncle, but your emperor refused to meet me in person. What I have to say is very important, please forgive me for not being able to speak with Mr. Zhang Talked."

Chen Jingzhong also maintained his dignity and said, "I will stay in the imperial capital for three days. If I still can't see your emperor in these three days, then I will go back. Since words can't solve the problem, then we have to use swords and guns to solve it." .”

Chen Jingzhong is non-violent and non-cooperative, but "the two countries do not intersect each other and don't kill each other", so the imperial capital can't really violence Chen Jingzhong.Seeing that Chen Jingzhong insisted on seeing his Majesty, Zhang Shu had to go back and tell Chen Jingzhong what he wanted.

After a long time, Chen Jingzhong used to call Ming Zhan: the cunning emperor of the Celestial Dynasty.

Now, although he has not seen Ming Zhan yet, Chen Jingzhong has a faint feeling that this little emperor is not easy to deal with.Knowing that he is Saza's uncle, an important figure in the Tatar tribe, but still only sent Zhang Shu, it seems that the little emperor wants to suppress his arrogance.

After resting for one night, on the second day, Chen Jingzhong also failed to see Ming Zhan, but he saw his nephew Hamur.

Hamur's complexion is very good, at least much better than that of Chen Jingzhong who came from thousands of miles to fight, he is rosy white, different from others.In addition, Hamur is wearing the robes of the people of the Celestial Dynasty, all of which are exquisitely crafted. The lining of Hamur is like a noble son of some family, and he does not have the embarrassment of being a prisoner of war.

Chen Jingzhong calmed down a little, and patted Hamur's arm, "Hamur, seeing you, I can finally feel at ease."

Hamur invited Chen Jingzhong to sit down, he couldn't tell whether it was emotion or other emotions in his eyes, it was very complicated, and he said after a long time, "I thought that I would never have the chance to see my uncle again in this life."

"How could it be?" Chen Jingzhong also had ulterior motives in his eyes, "I have never forgotten you, Hamur. This time, we captured Duke Jin. If possible, we will exchange you with Duke Jin and his son."

"Uncle, how could Saza agree to let me go back?" Hamur sighed, "Uncle, don't worry about me."

Chen Jingzhong said, "As long as there is a chance, you must try it."

Seeing that Hamur's expression was not good, Chen Jingzhong changed the subject and asked, "Is the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty treating you well?"

"The emperor is not rude to me." This is Hamur's sincere words. In fact, his life as a prisoner is better than that of him in the northwest, and the food and food are not comparable to the past.Even when the Tatars broke the Datong pass and led their troops to the imperial capital, many people shouted to kill Hamur to sacrifice the flag, Ming Zhan kept him.Even the servants around him were respectful and did not humiliate him just because he was a prisoner of war.

Chen Jingzhong finally felt relieved, "That's good."

After saying this, for a while, the uncle and nephew sat silently.

Ming Zhan is also having a meeting with his ministers.

The Tatar side sent envoys over, and they must raise some conditions. What do you think?

The courtiers were immediately divided into three factions. One faction had the clan faction, headed by Shanqihou, who wanted to exchange Duke Jin and his son no matter what; the other faction was headed by Li Pingzhou. Getting rid of them will relieve the danger of the imperial capital; one faction is headed by the Marquis of Yongning, and we have won consecutive battles, so which one needs to be polite to the Tatars, just speak with a knife.

Ming Zhan listened to their noisy ears and eyes, and the final conclusion was: see Chen Jingzhong first.

Therefore, on the third day, Chen Jingzhong met Ming Zhan.

Even though the Tatars had the upper hand on the surface, Chen Jingzhong still performed the courtesy perfectly, and Ming Zhan gave him a seat without courtesy.

"I heard that you have always wanted to see me." Ming Zhan smiled faintly and looked at Chen Jingzhong, but at the age of [-], even if he lived on the grassland every day in the wind and sun, Chen Jingzhong, as a nobleman, enjoys first-class enjoyment.Moreover, Chen Jingzhong has always admired the culture of the Han nationality. Although he wears Tatar clothes, his demeanor transforms the rudeness of the Tatars into a sturdy and gentle temperament. This temperament makes Chen Jingzhong Seeing full of charm, Ming Zhan couldn't help but take a second look, and said with a smile, "I thought, although you have something to talk to me about, but the one you care about most in your heart should be Hamur."

When mentioning Hamur, Chen Jingzhong got up to thank him, "Your Majesty treated Hamur with courtesy and gave him the dignity of a prince. Xiaowang is very grateful." Absolutely heaven on earth.

If the little emperor knew that they had neglected Duke Jin and his son, he would be displeased.Looking at it this way, after returning home, we must improve the lives of Duke Jin and his son.

"Hamur is already a prisoner, so I still have a bit of guts." Ming Zhan's lips curled up, "But Saza, I don't know how to treat Jin Guogong and his son? It really makes me very worried."

Chen Jingzhong hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Khan also knows that Duke Jin's father and son are precious, so he dare not be slighted."

Ming Zhan sighed, "Oh, I'm afraid that Saza has the heart, but he has no power." Looking at Chen Jingzhong, "I heard that Saza's food is not enough now, and he often goes out to rob. I am worried about my people, and I will I am very worried about your Tatar army."

This little emperor knows everything.

But Chen Jingzhong couldn't admit it. If the emperor knew that there was a problem with their supply, there would be endless troubles.Furthermore, maybe the emperor didn't know about it and just lied to him.Chen Jingzhong knew it well, and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, you are too worried. Now our Tatar army has enough food and grass, and the supply in the rear is endless. Even if you live in the imperial capital for a year or so, you will be fine."

Hearing this, Ouyang Ke blew his beard and stared angrily, and scolded angrily, "Irreverent little minister, the imperial capital is the capital of the Dafeng Dynasty. How could you come here just after the barbarians said it!" Flicking his sleeves, he scolded again, "No Extremely polite!"

However, Chen Jingzhong did not show any anger, raised his chin a little, and said with some words in his words, "This lord is right, we barbarians, don't we come just as soon as we say it, and it doesn't take much effort."

Ouyang Ke choked and fell to the ground.

Ming Zhan suppressed Ouyang Ke's anger with a wink, and Ming Zhan said with a slight smile, "Yes, you are here, and I welcome you very much. As for me, thinking of Saza coming to my door, I am quite upset." Easy. As for me, I have to make plans for Saza."

"Jingzhong, you are also a man of honor in the Tatar army. Well, if I tell Ouyang and the others, they may not understand it. But if I tell you, you will definitely understand." Ming Zhan saw that Chen Jingzhong was listening attentively, smiled, and continued, "I have become the emperor myself, and I found a rule."

"Although the common people are shouting long live and long live to me, to be honest, the common people really don't care who is the emperor." Ming Zhan asked, "King Chen, do you know what the common people care about?" ?”

Thinking about it, Chen Jingzhong said, "People care about their own lives, right?"

Ming Zhan nodded approvingly, and said with a smile, "I've heard from Zhang Shu that His Royal Highness Chen is proficient in the classics of the Han family, which is different from ordinary people's congresses. I believe what I said."

"King Chen is right, but to be precise, what the people care most about is their own three meals a day." Ming Zhan returned to the subject and said softly, "My people are human beings, and you Tatars are also human beings. You are human beings. We have to eat. What does it matter who is the emperor? The Dafeng Dynasty has been passed down for more than 100 years from the Taizu emperor to the end. The throne has changed, and the people are still immersed in the life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Like you Tatars, old The Khan passed away and Sazar came to power, and the Tatars continued to herd horses and sheep, and now they have attacked our imperial capital, and they will follow Saza if they stutter."

"At the end of the day, people live for a meal." Ming Zhan said, "I am sitting in this imperial capital, whether it is a wise king or a foolish king, the royal family, the court officials, and even you Tatars will care about it, but the common people are different. .As long as you have a mouthful of food, the common people don’t care who sits on the dragon chair, whether you sit in the dragon chair or not.”

"Many times, the people are silent and weak." Ming Zhan leaned back with one hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, showing a leisurely posture, "There is only one situation where the people will go crazy. That is when they are hungry. "

"The people are hungry, and their parents can cook and eat them. If the army is hungry..." Ming Zhan showed a mysterious smile, "What will happen, I have never seen it before."

Chen Jingzhong heard that Ming Zhan was talking about the lack of food in his army. He just gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is too worried. If your Majesty is so short of food now, why not consider the conditions proposed by our Khan .Your Majesty is the wise king of the prosperous age. As long as His Majesty agrees, our Khan will retreat immediately and return His Majesty thousands of miles of peace."

Ming Zhan tilted his head, showing a slight smile, "Why should I consider Saza's proposal? In recent wars, I was not the one who lost. King Chen, don't say you are still outside the city, it is you who have invaded the imperial capital City, you Tatars are just as good as Xiangzhen's country, you are really daydreaming!"

Chen Jingzhong wanted to say something more, Ming Zhan waved his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "King Chen, let me tell you about the current situation of your Tatars."

"The Wenna and Harun tribes have already gone south, but I have to tell you that yesterday I received good news from the south of the Yangtze River." Ming Zhan said nonsense, half-truthfully, "You and the Wusai tribe can go to the imperial capital this time. What you rely on is that Yang Yutong was the internal response, and the mutiny in the army allowed you to take advantage of it. It also made you enter the customs and facilitated this meeting between you and me."

"However, King Chen, you don't have any advantages." Ming Zhan said in a deep voice, "Before you came, I had already transferred the people. You have been looking for food everywhere these days, and you should have noticed that in this long winter, the ground is constantly You don’t even have to eat a single piece of grass. I have already ordered that whatever can be taken away, the people will take away, and those who cannot be taken away will be burned. Since some things cannot be kept, I will not leave a single cent for you Tatars No! I know that the Tartars are already starving."

When Chen Jingzhong was about to deny it again, Ming Zhan ordered someone to present a secret letter to Chen Jingzhong, saying that it was a secret letter, and there was only one sentence on the note: Tatar has no food, and His Majesty shuts the city gates tightly. .

Chen Jingzhong didn't quite understand, Ming Zhan smiled, "Chen Wang is proficient in Sinology, don't you think the words on it are familiar?"

Seeing that Chen Jingzhong was still silent, Ming Zhan continued, "Does King Chen think that Yang Yutong killed Li Pingren and opened the gate of Datong Pass for you so that he would be loyal to you Tatars?"

"I know that you are a cooperative relationship." Ming Zhan said, "During the Dafeng Dynasty, someone secretly conspired against me and wanted to force me to abdicate. However, since I ascended the throne, the country has been prosperous and the people are safe, the people are prosperous, and the courtiers are loyal. Nothing serious Well, it's not easy to force me to submit. So someone found you Tatars, didn't they?"

"Where did your Majesty come from?" Of course Chen Jingzhong would not admit it.

Ming Zhan smiled, not paying attention to Chen Jingzhong's answer, but said, "King Chen, although Yang Yutong brought you to the imperial capital, do you think he expects you Tatars to enter the imperial capital and enjoy the ten thousand miles away?" Jiangshan? If you Tatars succeed, where will his master go?"

Chen Jingzhong was quite surprised, but according to his status, there is no shortage of scheming palaces, but he just said, "Xiao Wang really doesn't know what your majesty said."

"If you don't know, you don't know." There is no point in pressing Chen Jingzhong, Ming Zhan sneered, "However, I know that you Tatars are not fools, and naturally you will not be used by others for nothing. If you can enter the customs and fight to the imperial capital, you Although you know that you don't have the ability and blessing to sit on the throne, you naturally want to seek some benefits."

Ming Zhan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "However, King Chen, your thinking is too simple. Do you think you can force me to form an alliance under the city after you surround the imperial capital? King Chen, you and Saza underestimate me too much! "

At this time, Ming Zhan showed a slight smile on his face, "Since King Chen came to the imperial capital, I have secretly ordered the Zhili and Shandong troops to rush to the imperial capital. Now three days have passed, I believe that the 20 troops from Zhili and Shandong It has already arrived. Of course, His Royal Highness Chen Wang is going to the imperial capital, and I will not let them go to war. But you Tatars and Usai people have no reinforcements in the future, and there was an imperial capital in the past. Chen Wang, you still want to negotiate terms with me now?" Ming Ming Zhan showed an incredulous expression, and said with a smile, "I thought you could represent Saza to surrender to me."

Chen Jingzhong's complexion changed drastically, he never expected that the little emperor would not see him for three days, it was such an idea!

At this moment, Chen Jingzhong couldn't care less about Jin Guogong and Hamur, but he still insisted on saluting, and said coldly, "Since your majesty can't see the situation clearly, only the swords and guns of the Tatars can help your majesty." Understand the situation!"

Ming Zhan spread his hands, showing an extremely innocent expression, "I will give this to His Royal Highness Chen Wang again."

Chen Jingzhong trembled from Ming Zhan's treachery, turned and left.Ming Zhan was still unwilling to give up instigating rebellion behind Chen Jingzhong's back, and shouted loudly, "In my opinion, Chen Wangxiong is a general, and his prestige is even higher than that of Saza. Saza is just a reckless man, and he deserves to be the Khan King!" I will always look forward to King Chen taking his place!"

If Ming Zhan hadn't been lucky enough to cast a good baby, and he was in such a position that he couldn't afford to offend, Chen Jingzhong would have to turn around and fight Ming Zhan!He was going to be pissed off by this treacherous fox emperor!

As soon as Chen Jingzhong left, the whole hall shouted "Long live the Holy Spirit", Ming Zhan smiled modestly and politely, but that smile fell into the eyes of caring people, no matter how you look at it, it is not flattering.However, what Ming Zhan said was even more indecent. He even said with a shameless face, "Well, Shengming Shengming, I am not holy, how can I be your emperor. Of course I am holy."

Ming Zhan is bragging about his sageness. Feng Jingnan, who was far away in Yunnan and just learned that the Tatars broke through the Datong Pass and went all the way to the imperial capital. Evil! Evil! Extremely stupid! How did he become an emperor!"

He was actually caught in the urn.

Bah bah bah!If Ming Zhan was a turtle, what would he become!

But Feng Jingnan was so angry that he was worried about Ming Zhan's safety, and hated Ming Zhan for not living up to his expectations. He had only been emperor for half a year before he made such a thing.

How could this throne be so uneasy!

Alas, now I still have to think of a way to help that bastard boy out of trouble!
