Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

A slender flower stood in the flower pot, the small white flowers opened downward like a bell, and the pressed green flower branches also bent down.

Lin Daiyu poked the flower lightly, and said with a smile, "So it's Junyingcao. Is it worth celebrating with a special wine? I think you guys took the opportunity to drink."

"Teacher asked me to discuss matters." Yan Ji said, "Tatar sent envoys to ask for peace, and the teacher hopes that I can go to Lifanyuan."

Although the chief official of the Lifan Academy is also called Shangshu, he belongs to the Ministry of Rites, so he is naturally no more noble than the Imperial Academy.

Lin Daiyu didn't care about this, "Although there have been small-scale harassment in the past few years, there has been no major action. Why are you here to ask for peace? But ask for a marriage?"

Yan Ji said, "It's probably a cover-up. They want to deceive us by asking for peace openly, but they have to make big moves in private."

This errand is purely to fool the Tatar envoys, making these people feel that the heavens have been fooled by them, and they have already believed that they are here to promote the friendship between the two countries.

It's not that the Lifan Academy can't speak Tatar, but Gui Shilang thinks that Yan Ji is young and suitable for fooling around.

Lin Ruhai was carrying two subordinates to settle the accounts. Once the border fight broke out, there would be no money at all. The money paid back a few years ago would have been spent.

Ming Yao knocked on the table, "I know, don't worry, teacher, it won't take long for a new account to be added."

After the people from the household department retreated, Ming Yao said to the empty imperial study room, "Let Lin Yuan hurry up."

There was a low sound from the dark, but there was no other sound.

Now the chief assistant is Cao Chenghui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who is about the same age as Lin Ruhai, and has been a veteran of the three dynasties. This is a foolish and loyal person.

Ming Yao felt that he was not a stupid king who would kill a donkey, but he really couldn't stand someone who wanted to slap him in the face naked.

In his great-grandfather's generation, Duke Yansheng had a very high status. Before he even joined the cabinet during the court meeting, Ming Yao had also received help from Kong Sihui, the current Duke Yansheng, when he ascended the throne.

At this moment, it was the Kong family who slapped them in the face.

The governor of Zhili submitted a letter, which was written by a member of the Kong family, saying that Kong Sihui did not practice ancestor worship, had no talent and virtue, and could not be promoted to the position of Shenggong.

Kong Sihui went out and knelt down, but did not speak.

Ming Yao sneered, "What do you think?"

"Back then, it was members of the Kong family who invited Duke Yan Sheng to be a prince, and now it is the Kong family who are impeaching him. If Duke Yan Sheng has no talent or virtue, why did he act like this back then? But they are all ordinary people, relying on the name of the holy man Kong First, relying on the number of people and power, they are going to be involved in politics. Will their clansmen write a letter to inherit the dragon veins in the future?" Lin Yuan said in a heart-rending way, "If the eight governors of the world, if each aristocratic family has these things You have to write a letter and put it in the court to say, if you are unhappy today, change to Yan Shenggong, and if you are unhappy tomorrow, change to the eldest son, although His Majesty is the father of the world, he is too busy."

"I don't dare to think about it. Although the people of the clan have opinions on the minister, the Kong family is loyal to His Majesty." Kong Sihui pleaded on the face, thinking that which bastard is making trouble again, and it is best to pull out all the people who wrote the letter cut.

"Lin Qing is right." Ming Yao's expression was secretive, "Yan Sheng Yan Sheng, what kind of sage is it? Draft the decree, change Yan Sheng Gong to Feng Sheng Gong."

"I thank Your Majesty Long En."

The title is still there, whatever is holy is fine.

"Did Li Jijiu, Guozijian, be sick again? He is not in good health, so go back and have a good rest, I agree." Ming Yao said, "Let Feng Shenggong take the top, the descendants of Confucius, the most suitable But that's all."

Immediately, the Ministry of Criminal Justice presented Zhen's family with serious crimes, and there were witnesses and physical evidence.

Ming Yao never gave anyone a chance to intercede for the Zhen family, and directly ordered Zhen Yingjia to be arrested and sent to Beijing for punishment, and even sent the household department to check the family property.

"I know that you are deeply intertwined. Now that you are going to the court, the imperial decree has not yet been issued. The eight hundred li urgent report has already reached the Zhen family. When the time comes, hide the family property privately and cry for poverty. There may not be no chance of a comeback. .Let me know who did this, and end up with the Zhen family. Retire."

He had already sent someone to keep an eye on the family who was close to the Zhen family, such as the historian of the Jia family. If they sent news or received things privately, they would naturally not forgive them.

After Lin Ruhai, the governor of Zhili was reprimanded by the emperor. For a while, everyone in the court was in danger and wanted to die. Let's see if there is an emperor teacher like Lin Shangshu, and the daughter of a queen like Governor Gan.

Yan Ji was entertaining the Tatar envoy with the left servant of the Lifan Academy, and the envoy Huhar was extremely arrogant, "I have been here for several days, and I have not seen your emperor receiving me. Is this the court's courtesy? I must go back and tell the Khan that you have insulted our sincerity in this way."

Chang Shilang didn't give him a good face at all, "You are here to ask for peace, love to beg, don't ask to leave, I will prepare the horse for you."

If it's too easy to fool, it's unlikely that these individuals will become suspicious, and they will still have to give it.

Hu Haer is proficient in Chinese, and hearing Chang Shilang's words are more arrogant than him, he was immediately furious, "It's because you call yourself a country of etiquette."

Yan Ji smiled slightly, "Treating guests is naturally a state of etiquette, but the attitude of the envoys is not that of guests. Except for you and your party, you have not seen the letter of credence, and you have not seen the ceremony of court congratulations. Are the envoys really sincere to ask for peace? I heard that , the Tatars are raising troops and buying food and grass everywhere, so please tell the envoy?"

Huhar was still calm, without changing his face, "Your Excellency is really thinking too much, we Tatars have always been poor, and we have to start preparing winter food before autumn, besides, we don't have soldiers and horses, only hunters. "

The implication is to regard the previous burning, killing and looting at Yanmen Pass as hunting.

"It's a pity, I suggest that the envoys go back after this winter." Yan Ji deepened his smile, "You people who lurked into the Celestial Dynasty to buy grain can't go back. In Pingyuan alone, you killed four Tartar spies. Even those who did business with them were regarded as collaborators and traitors."

Huhar suddenly let out a long sigh, "It's because of you who guarded against us like this that I have this errand. There is a saying in the Central Plains, is it the land of the king in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the coast of the land, and the Tartars are Envoys of the Celestial Dynasty, why does His Majesty's Fuze refuse to come to our grassland? We really can't survive. Mr. Yan may not know the situation of the grassland in the capital. You have rich land and inexhaustible food. There is even a seaport, where you can have imported tribute, but Tartar has nothing."

Chang Shilang snorted coldly, "Why are you arrogant and then respectful? In the Central Plains, even if you are poor, you will be punished for stealing or robbing. Messenger, the world's affairs are not because you are poor and you are justified."

Chang Shilang Yingjing commented on the Tatars' repeated harassment of Yanmen Pass without profanity for two cups of tea, and then Yan Ji talked about the history of the founding of the country, stating that the Tatars have surrendered to the Heavenly Dynasty for generations Treat Tatar with a big heart, but Tatar is a white-eyed wolf. Everyone believes that it is Tatar who made the first move.

Hu Haer's words, the four are no match for the two of them, he is good at Chinese, only limited to listening and speaking, those Chinese studies are not good at all, and they are in the cloud, but they know it is not a good thing, and they are dizzy and apologize, "I don't understand the Celestial Dynasty, so I would like to ask the two adults to speak kindly to His Majesty the Emperor, so that I can hand over my credentials so that we can reach an agreement as soon as possible."

"Don't be in a hurry. The capital is rich and rich. Although it is not as vast as the grassland, it is still worth a visit." Yan Ji said with a smile, "to welcome the envoy today, how about a taste of the heavenly dynasty?"

"Thank you, Lord Yan." Hu Haer saw that he was very young, and felt that he should be easier to deceive than Chang Shilang. He heard that he was the son of a princess, and he thought he could make some connections.

Chang Shilang and Yan Ji secretly exchanged glances, unable to speak.

If you say he also finds it strange, how did Yan Ji know that Tatar's secret work was slaughtered when he went to buy grain?

God is very good, Yan Ji knew it from Lin Daiyu.

The Tatar minions pretended to be people from the Celestial Dynasty, and split up several ways, so as not to die, they bumped into the Lujia Mipu.Although the shopkeeper is happy with such a large amount of grain, he is also very surprised. Since the snowstorm, the harvest has been good every year, and the grain price is very cheap. If he suddenly wants such a large amount of grain, he will report it to Lu Yi knows.

Lu Yi sent a few people to follow him, but when he was squatting at the door of the room, he heard the person inside say something in Tatar language.

In one sentence, it was revealed.

Reported to the officials to arrest people, tortured, the Tatars were very hard bones, did not say where the other friends were, and were dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market by the magistrate to be slaughtered.

In order to show that his uncle is wise and powerful, when Lu Yi gave Lin Daiyu a gift, he wrote a close-up in the letter, and Lin Daiyu told Yan Ji casually.

Huhar is quite restless in the restaurant at the moment. During his trip, the Khan asked him to ask the emperor for some rewards. If there is nothing else, just ask for gold and silver. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, I would be slaughtered too.

Yan Ji doesn't talk about official business, he just persuades the guests to have dinner and drinks, which can be regarded as a good time for the host and guest.

After returning home, Lin Daiyu had prepared sobering soup, "Why, the envoy didn't drink you?"

"He wants to drink it, but I can't say what he wants to know when I'm drunk." Yan Ji took a sip of the soup, frowning rarely, "Why is it so bad?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but said, "It's not hard to drink, how to sober up."

"Fortunately, there is news about Uncle Lu. Today I told him about killing Xizuo, and he immediately withered away and began to pretend to be pitiful. If he saw His Majesty, he might cry poorly with his lap in his arms." Yan Ji put down the bowl as if nothing had happened, "If it's the Supreme Emperor, if you can't say it, then you should."

Lin Daiyu was not interested in the emperor, so she picked up the bowl and said, "Drink it quickly, it will be cold in a while."

"Is it really necessary to drink it?" Yan Ji looked up at Lin Daiyu, and blinked like her usual way, "It's too bad to drink."

"No." Lin Daiyu knocked on him, "Hurry up, or you'll sleep in the study tonight."

Yan Ji finished his drink with a bitter face, "I don't dare to come back after drinking."

"It's good to know." Lin Daiyu stuck out her tongue, "I'm going to honor Uncle Lu with that painting you got earlier."

"As you like, it doesn't matter if you move all the warehouses." Yan Ji said, "These few days are probably going to be ruined for Xiumu. I will take you to live in Zhuangzi for a few days after delivering this unlucky bastard."

He ordered someone to plant a piece of Fendaicao on the Zhuangzi, and Lin Daiyu would definitely like it when she saw it.

Ming Yao let Huhar hang out for a few days before agreeing to meet him, and accepted the letter of credence according to the etiquette, "I know what you Khan mean, and I want to discuss it with the cabinet."

"Your Majesty is the king of the world. This kind of trivial matter is just a small leak from your hands. Why discuss it with them. In our grassland, the strong are respected, but no one has ever questioned Khan's decision. "

Ming Yao said, "It's useless to sow dissension. My family has a lot of property, and my hands can't be leaked. Go down and let the Lifan Academy treat you well."
