Song Tingfeng said coldly

"This is the capital, not Yunzhou. If you want to complain, just go.

"If you dare to do so, I admire you for being a character. If you don't dare, you are a counsellor without soft eggs."

He pressed the knife with one hand and his expression was rebellious.

He was not frightened by Ji Yuan.

Xu yuanshuang looked at Song Tingfeng in surprise. According to the current situation, the emperor Dafeng and other officials could not wait to discuss peace and cease war.

The whole Dafeng high-level was scared by the "fall" incident. At this juncture, they dare not fear the Yunzhou mission, and they are either dumb or have a backing.

But even if there is a court hall to do backing, angered nine elder brother, I'm afraid also can't keep him.

"Presumptuous!"

Ji Yuan didn't speak. The Yunzhou officials behind him were angry and pointed at Song Tingfeng

"How many heads can you cut off if you dare to talk to Mr. Jiu like this?"

"Abusing the envoys of the peace talks in public can put you in prison for this crime alone."

"I don't know the superiority of heaven and earth."

Ji Yuan opened the folding fan, looked at Song Tingfeng and said with a smile:

"Oh, there seems to be a support. Let's hear it.

"I'd like to know who made you lurk in the post station, trying to sabotage the peace talks and plot against the law."

If song Tingfeng's backers are not so good, or there is no backer, he can be sent to prison and charged with a crime just by the accusation of Yunzhou mission.

Among the watchmen guarding the post station, this one dares to look at him with hostile eyes. When he checked in yesterday, Ji Yuan noticed him.

Although Ji Yuan is not willing to take the initiative to give a silver Gong a blow, he is not allowed to be presumptuous under his own eyes.

Xu yuanshuang frowned and looked at the sky

"Brother nine, let's go. The time is coming."

A Fei robed old man behind Ji Yuan said with a smile:

"A few words won't get in the way. Besides, isn't there a reason. If the Dafeng court asks, let's tell the truth. "

This is not only to embarrass the little silver Gong, deliberately late, but also to put pressure on the court.

Light floating a word to block back, Xu yuanshuang did not speak.

With a sneer, song Tingfeng kept the posture of pressing the handle with one hand and looked down at the crowd.

He didn't speak hard or give in..

"Pa!"

Ji Yuan folded up the folding fan and took a look at Song Tingfeng. He didn't waste too much time on this little man.

He had a chip in his hand to make emperor Dafeng give in. He was just a small silver Gong. He could deal with it as he wanted.

Looking at the back of the people leaving the post station, song Tingfeng turns his head and spits out a mouthful of saliva.

"Chief, you were very powerful just now."

Several gongs on duty next to him came together, full of admiration.

"But, chief, won't you make trouble like this?"

One Causeway official expressed concern.

The watchmen are well-informed, and they know the attitude of your majesty and the public. Qingzhou is lost, the Treasury is empty, and even the supervisor of the immortal died in Qingzhou.

People with a clear eye know that if we fight like this, the court will be doomed.

It would be better not to fight. Therefore, peace negotiation became the dawn in the eyes of the princes and his majesty.

It's very unreasonable for the song leader to offend the Yunzhou mission at this juncture.

Song Tingfeng sneered

"What did I tell you before?

"I brought Xu Ningyan with me. Now that he is flourishing, he still calls me brother song when he sees me. I need to be afraid of this little thing.

"What kind of bullshit, Yunzhou mission, as soon as they come to Beijing, they will show off their power. When I was still in Yunzhou, I took Xu Ningyan and Zhu Guangxiao with me and wiped him with a knife without saying a word. "

The new recruits are skeptical. Although song touer has been advocating that he and Xu Yinluo are close friends, they secretly seek confirmation from other predecessors. They also say that Xu Yinluo was close to song touer and Zhu Yinluo.

But we all know that song's head likes to boast, and there must be exaggeration in it.

For example, song often said:

"Xu Ningyan is a man who has a hobby. If he doesn't go to GouLan one day, he will feel uncomfortable, especially when he is on duty. Zhu Guangxiao and I are decent people. We have to patrol the streets. But he dragged him to the fence. You want to ask me why I have to go when I'm on duty. Of course, it's because he's going to visit Fuxiang girl in the evening, and has no time to go to GouLan. "

It's not a joke. People all over the capital know that Xu Yinluo doesn't give money when he sleeps in Jiaofang.

It's just a hurdle. Can he see it?

So the gongs only believe three points in Song Tingfeng's words.

............

On the other side, Jinluan hall.

The discussion in front of the hall was over. Emperor Yongxing restrained his anxiety and took a silent look at Zhao XuanZhen, the eunuch who printed his hand.

The latter understood and said in a high voice:

"Xuanyunzhou mission to meet you!"

Waiting for half a cup of tea, there was no movement outside the hall.

"Xuanyunzhou mission meets."

There is still no movement.

Zhao XuanZhen took a look at the emperor's face. His forehead was sweating slightly. He turned and bowed to the throne. He stepped out of the hall from the left side to inquire about the situation.

After a while, he trotted back to the throne and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Yunzhou mission has not yet entered the palace."

Emperor Yongxing's face sank and gave him a cold look.

Zhao XuanZhen did not explain, but said softly:

"Someone has been sent for it."

Emperor Yongxing took back his sight and said faintly:

"Another quarter of an hour."

"Yes Zhao XuanZhen answered in a low voice.

Although the princes in the hall didn't hear the conversation clearly, they could guess what happened. It was just that the Yunzhou mission "arrived late" and missed the time.

All of you have experienced great storms and waves, but you can evaluate them in your heart.

The leader of Yunzhou mission was a young man named Ji Yuan, who called himself the ninth son of Qianlong city.

In terms of lineage, it belongs to Dafeng clan.

The nine childe's style of action, the public already know, sharp, overbearing strong.

Fortunately, less than a quarter of an hour, Ji Yuan and his party, led by the eunuch, entered the golden palace.

The princes turned their heads one after another and watched the young people entering the hall.

He was wearing a white dress with beautiful cloud patterns, naturally drooping sleeves, jingle around his waist, handsome features and very good skin.

Behind him was a couple of young girls with similar looks, one cold and the other cold.

Later, among the six old men in official robes, two wore Fei robes to embroider Yunyan, and four wore green robes to embroider silver pheasant and egret.

The official robes on their bodies undoubtedly hurt the sensitive hearts of emperor Yongxing and other officials. It's just a cloud state. The mission is wearing formal official robes. What do you mean?

"Yunzhou envoy Ji Yuan, I have met your majesty."

Ji Yuan with a smile, slightly bow, own a noble and quiet.

Emperor Yongxing nodded his head, and his voice was loud and calm

"Lord Ji came to the capital on behalf of Yunzhou to negotiate peace. I gave you the greatest courtesy, but you came late.

"Is this the sincerity of Yunzhou to negotiate peace?"

He looks serious and looks down at his highness Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan did not panic at all. She bowed with a smile

"It's not really my intention, but before I set out today, I was harassed and insulted by a silver gong at the post station, which delayed me for some time.

"I came here with sincerity. I didn't expect that a mere silver Gong would dare to face me coldly and verbally. Ji Yuan boldly asked his majesty, which is the sincerity of Dafeng peace talks?"

Xu yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai are listening. They know Ji Yuan's eloquence very well. Let alone a quarter of an hour late, they are an hour late.

Let yourself be reasonable.

At the same time, in front of the emperor and other officials, the anti general also gave the silver Gong a hat.

If emperor Yongxing didn't deal with it, he would have neglected and made trouble.

Sure enough, Emperor Yongxing frowned and pondered

"Who is unruly and abusive of ambassador Ji?"

Ji Yuan's calm reply:

"Silver Gong, song Tingfeng."

Emperor Yongxing went over the name in his mind, but he had no impression of it. His first reaction was that there might be someone behind the silver Gong who didn't know the height of heaven and earth, who was ordered to sabotage the peace talks.

Naturally, there is no need to hesitate to deal with a silver Gong. He was about to speak when Liu Hong, the censor of zuodou, stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding."

Behind Ji Yuan, an official in a Fei robe retorted:

"What does this adult mean is that we, Lord Ji, are just talking nonsense?"

Liu Hong ignored and continued:

"Song Yinluo was loyal and courageous. He fought side by side with Xu Qi'an when he exterminated the chaotic party in Yunzhou, and then made many contributions. He was Xu Qi'an's right-hand assistant when he was in Yinluo. How could they deliberately abuse and create difficulties for the Yunzhou mission.

"There must be a reason. Your majesty, please make a thorough investigation."

Emperor Yongxing said lightly, "what Liu Aiqing said is true. I should find out the situation and give an account to Ambassador Ji."

What are you looking for? No need to check!

Liu Hong's words are very clear. The silver Gong surnamed song belongs to Xu Qi'an.

There is such a big backing behind. As long as we don't kill and set fire to commit crimes, we can basically rest easy.

Emperor Yongxing naturally doesn't have to fight against Xu Qi'an because of this small matter. He will send someone to warn the silver Gong and then transfer him back to the daguanren Yamen.

Ji Yuan a Leng, suddenly suddenly, understand that guy why dare so unscrupulous.

It turned out that he was backed by Dafeng's first military officer.

"Thank you, your majesty."

He took it as soon as it was good, not biting it.

Obviously, the little emperor won't offend Xu Qi'an because of this small matter. He will not let go of it and will only punish himself.

Six officials who accompanied the audience looked at each other in astonishment. No wonder a silver Gong was so arrogant.

I'm still dissatisfied, but I don't care about the little man because I'm talking about peace today.

After chatting and bickering, Ji Yuanlang said:

"Since the beginning of winter, Yunzhou and Dafeng have been at war for two months, so that the common people have suffered, their lives have been ruined, and the soldiers on both sides have been killed and wounded. My official was ordered to come to Beijing to discuss peace, and he agreed to the peace talks with his highness and all the righteous. "

The specific process of the peace talks is to set the main tone first, and then Honglu temple is responsible for the negotiation to confirm some details. If the matter is particularly important, the Ministry of rites should also participate in it.

In this process, the daily negotiation process had to be shown to the emperor.

The final result also had to be discussed by the emperor and the princes before the decision could be made.

Today, we set the "main tone" and set up the negotiation framework first.

After a long speech, Ji Yuan said:

"The army of Yunzhou has already occupied Qingzhou, and Dafeng prison died half a month ago. However, his father was kind-hearted and could not bear the people to face the disaster of war again. He was willing to negotiate peace with Dafeng. Dafeng had to promise us four conditions. "

The Lord of Qianlong has long been the emperor of Yunzhou.

Emperor Yongxing swept behind Ji Yuan. The officials in official robes in Yunzhou took a deep breath and said:

"Come on, Ambassador Ji."

Ji Yuandao:

"First, Dafeng pays annual tribute of 500000 taels of silver and 600000 pieces of silk to Yunzhou, which will take effect immediately after the conclusion of the peace talks

As soon as he finished speaking, the Secretary of the Department of household affairs jumped out and scolded him

"Yellow mouthed child, open your eyes and tell lies.

"Half a million taels of silver? 600000 pieces of silk? You are not afraid of the wind

There's a reason why the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts jumped. The money didn't count for much in peace and prosperity.

But at present, the Treasury is empty. In order to maintain the operation of the imperial court and military expenditure, it has been struggling to support, and even has no money or food to help the victims.

All of a sudden, it will take 500000 taels of silver. Yunzhou doesn't even have to fight, just wait for the collapse of the imperial court.

It's not peace negotiation. It's harboring evil intentions to force Dafeng to death.

For fear that emperor Yongxing didn't understand "economy", the Secretary of the Ministry of household agreed rashly, so he jumped out first.

Ji Yuan unfolded the folding fan and shook his head

"The central plains are rich in land, so it's nothing if it's only half a million taels."

His eyes flashed and he said:

"Isn't it true that the imperial court can't even take out half a million taels of silver?"

In his heart, the Minister of the Ministry of household hummed coldly:

"Our great Fengguo is very powerful. You can't guess."

Ji Yuan asked

"Oh, in that case, Dafeng didn't mean to make peace."

This son's teeth are sharp and his mouth is sharp.
