Chapter 712: Chao Meeting
Why did his son say this, Fan Chengchun could understand it, and he was also afraid of his wife's nagging. So he happily agreed.
After Fan Wencheng went back, he immediately fell asleep, but Fan Chengchun couldn't sleep. On the one hand, he was a little worried about his son's trip to the Great Wilderness, and on the other hand, he was shocked by the barbarians' proposal to surrender.
The war in Shuozhou has lasted for an unknown number of years, as if there is no end to it, and those of them who lead the troops to fight the war hope that the war can end the most.
Because only they understand the cruelty of the war best, and only they can best understand the pain of watching the good sons of Da Zhou bury their bones on the battlefield.
If the barbarians can really be submitted, it is a great thing, but why should the barbarians be obedient? Could it be a conspiracy of the barbarians?
Even if the barbarians are really obedient, the barbarians are naturally strong, if they are allowed to multiply, will they eventually cause a catastrophe?
Fan Chengchun, who couldn't sleep all night, got up early, because today was the Great Dynasty Meeting.
By the time he came to the noon gate, there were already many officials gathered here, and these officials gathered in twos and threes to gossip, all talking about the same topic, barbarian envoys.
"Old Fan, why do you seem to be preoccupied today?" It was Sun Lixing, the rear military governor of the Five Military Governor's Mansion, who spoke. They were originally colleagues who had fought on the battlefield together, and now they were both governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so they talked a lot more casually.
Fan Chengchun didn't answer, but asked, "What are you talking about, the conversation is in full swing?" ”
Sun Lixing said with a smile: "What else can you say, say barbarian envoys!" I heard that the emperor has summoned the barbarian envoys, but the strange thing is that there is no rumor of any news, which is quite mysterious. ”
"Now the most touching heartstrings of the officials and people in Beijing is this barbarian envoy, the emperor can't keep them hanging, maybe this time the court meeting, the emperor will summon the barbarian envoy!"
Summoning barbarian envoys? It is very likely that if the emperor summons the barbarian envoys, then this court meeting must be fried!
Sun Lixing rubbed his hands and said: "This barbarian envoy is really bold enough to dare to enter Beijing, but I always feel that this barbarian envoy suddenly entered Beijing, I am afraid it is not as simple as congratulating the emperor on his accession to the throne." ”
Nonsense, of course, it's not that simple, many people are aware of it, but who can guess that the barbarian envoys came to Beijing to ask for submission?
Not only Sun Lixing was discussing, but the rest of the officials were also discussing, and they also felt that the emperor was likely to summon the barbarian envoys at this great court meeting.
With a few whips, the originally noisy officials immediately quieted down and began to arrange shifts one after another.
With the ringing of a bell, the noon gate slowly opened, and the civil and military officials entered the noon gate and went to the Fengtian Gate, passed through the Fengtian Gate and sorted out their appearance again in front of the Fengtian Palace, and then entered the Fengtian Palace.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"Greetings to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
Tang Ning sat down on the dragon chair, looked around at the hundred officials kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "All Aiqing should be flat!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" After the hundred officials bowed again, they all got up.
Tang Ning asked in a deep voice: "Zhong Aiqing has something to play?" ”
For a while, no one came out to do anything, first, it was really no big deal, and second, the attention of the hundred officials was all on the barbarian envoys.
Tang Ning was not surprised, and raised his voice: "A few days ago, the envoys of the desolate clan have entered Beijing, since the hundred officials have nothing to do, then the envoys of the desolate clan will enter the palace!" ”
Today's court meeting will indeed announce that the envoys of the barbarian clan will enter the palace, and the officials immediately cheered up, and one by one they waited for the barbarian envoys to enter the palace.
"The envoy of the Xuanhuang clan enters the hall!"
"The envoy of the Xuanhuang clan enters the hall!"
Yun Ye slowly walked into the main hall with a calm face, stopped in the middle of the civil and military columns, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Desolate Yunye see His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, congratulations to His Majesty on his accession to the throne, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”
Ever since Yun Ye entered the main hall, all the officials had looked at him with blazing eyes, looking at him, and it was the first time that most of the civil and military officials had seen this desolate envoy.
Although it has been a few days since the envoys of the desolate tribe entered Beijing, many people went to the Sifang Pavilion to watch, but there were still a few who had seen the envoys of the desolate tribe.
Besides, the officials of the previous dynasty were all people with status in Beijing, so how could they go to the Sifang Pavilion to watch? Only the barbarian envoys were encountered by some courtiers when they entered the palace.
At this time, looking at this barbarian envoy, they found that as rumored in the capital, they looked no different from the people of the Great Zhou.
It is neither deformed nor vicious, and it does not seem to be tyrannical, but rather polite.
Especially seeing that the barbarian envoy actually knelt on one knee when he saluted, which made the officials very satisfied.
After all, it is a foreign race, and the two sides have been fighting for many years, and it is already a very grand etiquette to be able to kneel on one knee to salute. This barbarian envoy is very respectful.
Tang Ning raised his voice and said, "Yun Envoy calm down!" Although my Great Zhou and the Desolate Clan have been at war for many years, I am still very happy that the cloud envoy has come to the capital to congratulate me on my accession to the throne. ”
Yun Ye said respectfully: "Actually, my desolate clan has long wanted to come to Da Zhou to meet the Great Zhou Emperor, and now it is the joy of His Majesty's accession to the throne, so I have the courage to come to congratulate Your Majesty." ”
Tang Ning said lightly: "It can be regarded as your desolate clan having a heart!" ”
"Your Majesty, when you see the envoy of the barren clan, the minister is not unhappy if you don't say a word, and I hope that the emperor will approve it!" Cao Xuan, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, came out of the line.
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Say it!" ”
Cao Xuan turned his head to look at Yun Ye and asked in a deep voice: "Cloud Envoy, I have never stepped into the Great Wilderness in the Great Zhou, let alone attacked the Desolate Clan, why do you Desolate Clan come to attack our dynasty every year?" ”
"Do you know how many sons of my dynasty died in Shuozhou? Do you know how many families have been separated because of this? Did you know that every inch of Shuozhou is sprinkled with blood? ”
Since he came to the Great Zhou Imperial Hall, Yun Ye had already been mentally prepared, so he was not surprised at all when he was questioned like this.
Yun Ye looked around, and said in a low voice: "The land of Shuozhou is not only sprinkled with the blood of Da Zhou Erlang, but also the blood of our desolate clan. ”
"Our barren clan also has countless sons and daughters buried in Shuozhou, they also have flesh and blood, they also have families, who wants to fight?"
"But the great wilderness is so desolate, there is no food, there is no food, I don't know how many people die of hunger every year, we don't want to fight, but we can't watch our relatives all starve to death in front of us, who wants to fight? It's all a last resort! ”
Cao Xuan couldn't help but shout when he heard this: "Ridiculous! If you don't have anything to eat, can you kill and plunder? What kind of truth is this! ”
