Royal study.

Emperor Yongxing launched the document and carefully reviewed the "agreement" between the two sides. The content of the agreement was complicated and involved many detailed rules. The first condition remained unchanged

Since the first year of Yongxing, Dafeng has paid 500000 taels of silver and 600000 pieces of silk to Yunzhou every year.

Extension and modification of the detailed rules:

In the first year, only 150000 taels of tribute and 300000 pieces of silk were needed, which must be paid off in the next year.

The second condition remains unchanged. After the peace talks, the Dafeng imperial court should immediately report to the local yamen, admit that Yunzhou is the orthodox of the Central Plains, and post a notice to the world.

The third condition is the longest dispute.

Yunzhou asked the court to cede Yongzhou, Yuzhou and Zhangzhou.

To the north of Yongzhou is the boundary of the capital. Therefore, Yongzhou can not be ceded. This is a matter of principle.

In the process of negotiation, Ji Yuan once again put pressure on Yunzhou's super strong, but this time it didn't work. The Minister of rites and Honglu Siqing didn't let go.

Yuzhou and Zhangzhou are rich in iron ore resources, while the latter is one of the three granaries of Dafeng. If the two continents were ceded to the rebels in Yunzhou, we can imagine what would happen.

However, Yuzhou and Zhangzhou had to be let out after Yongzhou was preserved. Geographically speaking, these two states are far away from the capital, which is not as deadly as Yongzhou.

The fourth condition is the refining records of the supervisor.

Emperor Yongxing sent someone to take it from Si Tianjian yesterday. Unexpectedly, Song Qing of Si Tianjian gave it out very happily.

Happy as if it was not a relic of the dead teacher.

"Your Majesty, although the peace talks have been successfully concluded, the rebels in Yunzhou are ambitious and should not be credulous."

Li Wang, an old man, was also in the imperial study. He was the only one who was given a seat.

"Uncle, don't worry!"

Emperor Yongxing finally had a smile of the past on his face and said in a relaxed tone:

"I have already discussed this matter with you. When you send off the Yunzhou mission, I will personally find Xu Yinluo and ask him to move soldiers to southern Xinjiang. Both Gu clan and Yao clan have many extraordinary powers. Let Xu Yinluo invite them.

"Another month will be the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, the earth will return to spring and the cold disaster will be solved. The situation will be better."

Hearing the speech, Li Wang nodded slightly

"I heard that a few days ago, your majesty and Xu Yinluo were not happy?"

Emperor Yongxing waved his hand

"It's just a small matter. I respect him three times on weekdays, but I have my own opinions on national affairs. Don't allow him to be brave. "

As for the matter of moving and rescuing soldiers, Emperor Yongxing never thought about how to invite Xu Qian. It seems that everything should be done by Xu Qian.

It's like he developed the Gu clan and the demon clan into allies.

Li Wang let out a "Er", his face relaxed slightly, and said slowly:

"It turns out that your majesty has been concerned for a long time, so the king is relieved."

What the emperor Yongxing's idea was, as he said just now, was clear. First, he negotiated peace, stabilized the rebels, and then asked Xu Yinluo to ask his allies in southern Xinjiang for help. At the same time, waiting for the spring to subside the cold disaster.

Li Wang also did not consider the difficulty of the task.

..........

Outside the gate of the city, six horsemen galloped forward. They were wearing cloaks and riding fast horses, whistling through the gate.

After entering the city gate, the galloping speed of the horses decreased sharply. The first rider reined in the reins and looked back at the city wall.

His face was stiff and expressionless, as if carved from stone.

Yang Yan!

After the Chuzhou massacre, Yang Yan stayed there, and the imperial court appointed him as the commander in chief and commander in chief of Chuzhou.

Even after Wei Yuan died, he stayed in Chuzhou and never returned to Beijing.

"Gather all the brothers lurking in the capital and wait for the order." Yang Yan side head, look to the left subordinate.

"Yes

The subordinates clasped their hands, then grabbed the reins of the horse, gently pulled, separated from the team, and galloped to another road.

The adoptive father failed to help the sixth Prince ascend the throne. Now, it's our faction that is in charge of the universe...... Yang Yan moved his eyes and looked at the direction of the palace along the spacious main road.

...........

The watchman Yamen.

Four golden gongs gathered in the hall, with the doors and windows closed.

Zhao Jin, the golden gong, stares at Song Tingfeng, the silver Gong on the other side, squints and says:

"Does Xu Yinluo really say that?"

Xu Yinluo has become a title, not an official position.

In Dafeng, as long as you say "Xu Yinluo", everyone knows which one you mean.

Song Tingfeng said with a smile:

"Now the central plains are in turmoil, and the imperial court is also in crisis. Whether several golden gongs can seize the opportunity in this flood depends on today's choice.

"Ningyan is a disciple of Duke Wei. The four adults have friendship with him. They are not strangers. They are afraid that he will pit you. Besides, to say a word of treachery, who has the most promising future to be loyal to today's Dafeng?

"It's not sitting in the Jinluan palace, fawning on the rebels in Yunzhou, but my brother."

Zhao Jin and the other three gongs looked at each other and pondered for a moment

"Why doesn't Xu Yinluo come by himself?"

Instead of answering, song Tingfeng took out a note:

"After watching it, you will know."

Zhao Jin took it, unfolded the note and took a look at it. First he was relieved and commented:

"It's his handwriting."

Then, Mou Guang Yi Ning, staring at the paper for a long time.

Zhao Jin took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotion in his heart, and quietly handed the note to the other three golden gongs

"You reply to Xu Yinluo, as long as he doesn't cheat me, I Zhao Jin can give this life to him, but we need to see him."

...........

Post station.

Ji Yuan holds the conch and says:

"Boring!

"The little emperor of Dafeng is not interesting, the officials of the imperial court are not interesting, and the students of Guozijian are even more boring.

"I heard that when the corpse of the king of Zhenbei was transported back to the capital, Yuanjing closed his palace and did not see any officials. There was a scholar named Xu Xinnian who blocked the Meridian Gate and scolded him from morning to night. Yuanjing gave in and opened the door.

"It's a pity that I didn't see this son in the court. I didn't see him in the negotiation. Maybe he was too humble to argue with me."

As for Xu Xinnian, during the negotiations in recent days, he occasionally heard someone mutter in private:

The boy from Yunzhou has sharp teeth and sharp mouth. If master Xu of Hanlin academy can come, he will be scolded. He will cry on the spot and go back to Yunzhou.

Ge Wenxuan's laughter came from the sound transmitting Faluo

"I'm afraid you won't have a chance to meet Xu Xinnian, who is Xu Qian's cousin, yuanshuang's and Yuanhuai's cousin.

"He was not in the capital, but fought with the Dafeng army in Qingzhou. Well, after the fall of Qingzhou, he was slashed by Zhuo Haoran, and his life and death were unknown."

Ji Yuan shook her head

"I'm afraid that general Zhuo's knife will be more than good for me. Don't mention him, general Ge. The Xu hasn't appeared yet. "

Ge Wenxuan pondered for a moment

"It seems to be similar to what we had guessed before. The Qian donkey surnamed Xu was out of skill. He acquiesced in the peace talks and wanted to fight for time to survive the cold winter. Then he asked for help from southern Xinjiang."

This is something that can be easily inferred. Dafeng is in short supply of extraordinary combat power. It's full of three grades. It's impossible to compete with the first grade and the second grade.

And to the extraordinary realm, starting from the third grade, and then want to promote, it can be difficult.

Those with poor qualifications are like Kou Yangzhou, a member of the Wulin League, who was barely promoted to second-class Wufu after 500 years.

Those with top-notch qualifications, such as Guoshi and luoyuheng, are second-class at a young age, but they have been in second-class for 20 years.

Since in the short term can't rely on their own promotion to catch up with the combat power, then ask for help is Xu Qi'an's only choice.

Ji Yuan sneered

"Due to the limitation of the power of the God, it is difficult for the Gu people in southern Xinjiang to produce one product. In the seven parts, only Tiangu mother-in-law is the second product, but she is not good at fighting. South demon's extraordinary strong is rare and pitiful.

"It's impossible for that terrible corpse to leave Southern Xinjiang. Nine Tailed Tianhu may intervene in the battle of Central Plains. However, if she comes to Central Plains, the western regions will not be restrained, and some troops can attack Central Plains.

"In fact, the only variable is the Shamanism. After Nalan Tianlu got out of trouble, the Shamanism had a great wizard, a rain wizard.

"If they make an alliance with Dafeng, they will have a headache."

"Nine CHILDES are smart." Ge Wenxuan said with a smile:

"I think so too, but the teacher said that we should not pay attention to witchcraft for the time being. As for the reason, I don't know."

After a pause, he continued

"Since Xu Qi'an is willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head, it's up to him. He's a third class martial arts man. He can't make any waves. Leaving Beijing tomorrow? "

Ji Yuan said, "well."

"Exchange documents in the morning tomorrow, and then you can leave Beijing and return to Yunzhou."

This is a necessary process. After the negotiation, the two sides exchange documents, and then "say goodbye" on such a public occasion as the DPRK meeting.

At the end of the transmission, Ji Yuan returns the magic snail to Xu yuanshuang

"Yuanhuai, the Huakui of Jiaofang Sili in the capital, are all top beauties. Today I'm leaving Beijing. While I still have time, Jiuge will take you to enjoy it?"

Xu Yuanhuai ignored him.

Ji Yuan doesn't care, playing with the folding fan to go out, he also casually said, can't really go to Jiaofang department, in case of assassination how to do.

...........

The next day, the court meeting.

At that time, it was dark. The civil and military officials passed through the East and west side doors in an orderly manner and passed through the Jinshui bridge. The Beijing officials were waiting at Danbi, the steps and the square, and all the officials entered the Jinluan hall.

This morning, the court held a special meeting for the Yunzhou mission, featuring Ji Yuan and a group of followers.

More than 20 "negotiation groups" in official robes of Yunzhou entered the Jinluan palace with high spirits and the strength and pride of the winners.

Emperor Yongxing was sitting on the throne. After a few words, he asked people to exchange documents.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'm very happy to be here."

Ji Yuan's smiling face bows to Emperor Yongxing and to all the princes.

In the hall of Jinluan, the ministers' faces were ugly, but they could not see his mockery and wanton arrogance.

"By the way, the people in the capital have been boiling with resentment recently, openly abusing the imperial court and your majesty. I suggest that you kill when you should, so as to make an example. " Ji Yuan said with a smile.

Xu yuanshuang on his side remembers that Jiuge often inquires about folk news these days. He listens to the people in Beijing and the students of Guozijian scolding Yunzhou mission and Qianlong city. At that time, he shakes a folding fan and doesn't seem to care at all.

It's in my heart.

Now emperor Yongxing just wanted to send off the Yunzhou mission

"If you don't worry, I'll deal with it. In addition, silver and silk have been prepared and can be taken away by Ambassador Ji. "

As for land cutting, there are still a lot of follow-up work, such as notifying the local government, withdrawing the gentry and nobles and the local army, and so on.

It can't be done right away.

"Thank you, your majesty..."

Ji Yuan's voice fell, and suddenly he heard a "boom". The sound of artillery came from a distant place, and then the dense drums came at the same time, which was the direction of the palace gate.

Many people in the hall were shocked, including the Yunzhou mission represented by Ji Yuan.

It was at this point that something happened.

Emperor Yongxing's eyes flashed with panic. He forced himself to calm down and looked at Zhao XuanZhen

"Go and see what's going on."

Zhao XuanZhen was ordered to retreat. He stepped out of the Jinluan hall and looked down on the square outside the hall. The officials below were in a mess and looked worried. Some of the guards in the palace rushed to the palace gate, and some rushed to the Jinluan hall to protect his majesty and the princes.

In the Jinluan hall, Ji Yuan frowned tightly, held the silver bone fan tightly and said nothing.

Xu yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai, the former frowning, the latter frequently look out.

The civil and military officials in the hall, the royal family, looked at each other, did not know what had happened.

Until Zhao XuanZhen ran back, he carried the hem of his robe and ran like a lost dog, screaming:

"The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good

"Your Majesty, the rebels are coming in. They are coming in."

The people in the hall changed their faces and subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan. Since the incident in Yunzhou, the word "rebel" has been linked to Yunzhou. After listening to it for more than two months, they suddenly heard the word "rebel". Their instinctive response was that the rebels in Yunzhou had entered the capital.

Ji Yuan and others were stunned.

Immediately, Zhao XuanZhen took a breath and continued his words

"Shouting at the side of the Qing Emperor..."

The noise again raised in the hall. Emperor Yongxing looked fiercely at the place where the royal family was. Then he was stunned because he saw Prince Yan.

Arguably, Prince Yan should not be here at the moment. Is it not him?

Many princes and princes also looked at Prince Yan with strange eyes. Xun GUI, there are several accomplishments in the body, quietly close to Prince Yan.

If there is anyone in the court who can revolt or dare to revolt, it is probably only the prince from the Empress Dowager.

No one does not understand the principle of catching a thief before catching a king.

Prince Yan was confused.

"What is calling in? Have you ever broken through the palace gate

In xunguili, a Duke of state strides out and glares at Zhao XuanZhen

"Make it clear."

The pale Zhao XuanZhen was about to speak when suddenly there were shouts of killing, blade collision and screams from outside the hall.

That goes without saying.

The rebel army has an insider, and the scale is not small..... All the people in the hall immediately make a judgment.

The guards of the palace gate are the imperial guards, and the guards of the imperial city are the twelve guards. No army can capture the imperial city and the Imperial City in such a short time, unless the rebels are the twelve guards and the imperial guards.

Who can even plot against the Imperial Army and the twelve guards of the capital?

All the people's thoughts flashed, and the cry of killing was getting closer and closer, until there was a big guard who screamed and fell into the Jinluan hall.

Outside the hall, the shadows flashed. The first people who came in were two golden gongs dressed as watchmen, and Yang Yan wearing light armour and carrying a long gun. Then there were silver gongs, Tongluo, Yulin Wei, Yudao Wei and so on.

The members are very complicated, but they all have a red silk wrapped around their arms.

With bloody knives, they surrounded the princes, clansmen and xungui in the hall.

"Yang Yan?

A princess recognized him, surprised and angry:

"Disorderly officials and thieves, do you dare to commit treason? Are you not afraid to punish your nine families?"

Emperor Yongxing suppressed all his emotions, maintained the king's calm, stood up, looked at Prince Yan, turned to look at Yang Yan and some golden gongs, and forced himself to calm down

"Who is your master?"

At the same time, two noble left and right, clamped down Prince Yan.

Seeing Yang Yan and several golden gongs show up, the discerning people will know who is behind the scenes.

These Wei Yuan's party members supported the sixth prince at the beginning.

If Wei Yuan had not died early, after Xu Qi'an killed Joan of arc, it would not have been the crown prince, but the original sixth prince.

Ji Yuan knows how to keep a low profile at the critical moment, holding a folding fan and watching coldly.

"Ninth young master, the imperial court of Dafeng is in civil strife."

A Feipao official said with half joy and half worry.

This is consistent with their goal. If the peace talks can cause internal chaos in the imperial court, it doesn't matter whether they succeed or not, or even better than the talks.

Once the center is in disorder, the Dafeng court will collapse and collapse at a surprising speed.

Of course, some of the mission's life and security are not guaranteed. All of them are half happy and half worried.

"Watch it change." Another Feipao official whispered:

"No matter who wins or loses, if you don't want to ruin your country, you must be polite to us."

According to the current situation of Dafeng, it is a dead end to split the face with Yunzhou. Those who rebel will not fail to see this fact.

"This, this has nothing to do with me..."

Prince Yan only practiced Qi state cultivation, but was restrained by two high-level Xun GUI, who had no ability to resist.

At this time, the sound of fighting outside the hall stopped, as if to decide the outcome.

Of course, there were still guns and drums in the distance, and fighting continued elsewhere.

"Don't embarrass brother Liuhuang. It has nothing to do with him."

When a cold and pleasant voice came, people in the hall either looked back or looked sideways. They saw a beautiful figure in a plain white dress outside the Jinluan hall. They crossed the high threshold, dragged the skirt to the ground and came in.

Princess long?

The man who didn't know the truth looked shocked.

Yongxing emperor was stunned, did not expect to appear in front of the person will be her.

"Huaiqing?"

Emperor Yongxing pointed at her and said angrily:

"What do you want to do, answer me, what do you want to do?"

He beat a big case hard, and his momentum soared a little.

Huaiqing walked step by step under the throne and looked at emperor Yongxing. His tone was flat, but his voice was not low

"Please step down, brother!"

Once the words came out, the hall was silent, and the needles could be heard.

Ji Yuan gaped, looking at Huaiqing's back, his eyes were amazing.

"You? Huaiqing

Emperor Yongxing seems to have heard a joke from Tianda. He holds his hands on the case, looks down at his rebellious sister, and suddenly roars:

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Emperor Yongxing hit hard.

For any brother, he would be careful and alert, but now it is a woman who asks him to abdicate and rebel.

Joke!

Instead of going to see Huaiqing, he looked at Yang Yan, the golden gong and the rebels who surrounded the officials in the hall and angrily denounced:

"Are you crazy to rebel with a woman? How many heads do you have to chop.

"She can do it? Ask the princes in the temple who will support her. Ask the world who will support her as a lady

At this time, Liu Hong stepped out in silence, bowed and said in a high voice:

"Your Majesty, please step down!"

Then there was Qian Shoufu, who stood shoulder to shoulder with Liu Hong, bowing and saying in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, please step down!"

Then, Zhang Xingying, the imperial censor of the right capital, sun Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of war came out together and said in unison:

"Your Majesty, please step down!"

It seems to have triggered a group effect. Suddenly, a large number of officials bow and say:

"Your Majesty, please step down!"

The number of people accounts for nearly half of the number in the hall.

For the first time, the Wang party and the Wei party were so united.

Emperor Yongxing's face suddenly froze and then slowly turned pale. He looked at the officials bowing in the hall for a long time. His lips trembled and murmured:

"Crazy, you're all crazy..."

On the Royal side, the princes and princes were at a loss, but Prince Yan was ecstatic and trembling with excitement.

In disbelief, the Minister of Dali Temple went one by one to help the officials and scolded them

"Are you all crazy? Accompany a girl to go crazy. Who gives you the courage? Don't try to be quick for a moment. It won't be done."

Now it's just a surprise attack. What about the follow-up?

The royal family has a large number of clans, and the rebellion can be pacified with a single cry.

Because no one will support a woman.

Follow a princess to revolt, what is not a madman?

Huaiqing folded his hands in his belly and said faintly:

"Take it down and let him write the abdication edict."

Yang Yan led a few silver gongs to stride forward, toward the emperor Yongxing on the throne.

"Don't be presumptuous!"

Zhao XuanZhen, the eunuch of handprint, opened his arms and stood in front of Yang Yan. His face turned pale and he said in a fierce voice:

"Your Highness Lin'an has an engagement with Xu Yinluo. When you rebel, Xu Yinluo will not let you go!"

This sentence, like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, awakened the hesitant royal clan, nobility, and officials of the royal party and Wei party.

Emperor Yongxing's frustrated eyes suddenly burst out with light, just like a desperate person, seeing a ray of dawn.

Yes, he has Xu Qian.

As long as Xu Qi'an supports him, no matter how crazy Prince Huai qingheyan is, it will not be a big deal.

Those who are hesitating are also aware of this problem.

Emperor Yongxing calmed down and looked around at Yang Yan and others

"I'll give you another chance. I can let bygones be bygones. I'll reward you for taking down the traitor Huaiqing.

"Otherwise, we should know the end of treason."

Zhao XuanZhen a strong courage, toward the way: "still don't retreat!"

"I'm not repentant yet."

"It's a long life to rebel with a girl."

"Take Huaiqing as soon as possible, or you will all die when the forbidden army and Xu Yinluo kill you."

Those officials and nobility who supported emperor Yongxing yelled.

"Alas

A huge sigh reverberated in the hall. In the shadow behind Huaiqing, a figure expanded and stretched. It was Xu Qi'an who had just suppressed the Fifth Battalion of the imperial army.

Just now, Xu Qi'an was still on his lips. The master came the next moment. As soon as the joy floated in emperor Yongxing's eyes, he saw the first master of Dafeng looking at himself coldly and saying:

"Yongxing, abdicate. I can protect you from death.

"Otherwise, the first emperor will be your end."

Emperor Yongxing's face was as white as snow. His body seemed to have lost its strength and he fell to the Dragon chair.

The officials and xungui who supported emperor Yongxing were stiff faced.

The silver bone fan in Ji Yuan's hand "PATA" fell to the ground. If his pupils met with strong light, they contracted violently.

It was Xu Qi'an who wanted to revolt
