Zhao Xun and Sheng Yufei were busy going back to the Sheng Mansion to take a look, at this time, Baoyun and Wei Rong, as well as Sima Changkong, Wei Jie, Jiang Mohan, and Yan Ming were still in the imperial study.

Yan Lie sat behind the bookcase, his face sinking like water, and asked, "Say, what else happened?" ”

Sima Changkong and Wei Jie looked at Wei Rong, but Wei Rong looked at Bao Yun. Bao Yun pursed her lips helplessly, and could only say: "If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers and General Wei have discovered the plague in the north, and it is not so simple. ”

Yan Lie raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"At first, the courtiers thought that the origin of the plague did not deal with the corpses of animals and people, and then found that this was also the case in other counties, but there was no outbreak of the plague, but only the two counties of Xiushan County and Heyang County had the most serious plague, and even some people in the village almost died."

"The courtiers and General Wei both felt that this matter was different, so they looked for the cause that might have caused the plague with a skeptical attitude, and we all agreed that if it was not the plague caused by the corpse not being disposed of, then the greatest possibility was that there was another source of infection, such as the corpse that had the plague in the morning."

"Then we did find the soaked bodies in the wells of the two villages, and we saw that the bodies were dressed like South Vietnamese. And the body was chained to the bottom of the well and sunk to the bottom of the well, which is obviously man-made. ”

"After we found the body, General Wei sent people to South Vietnam to investigate, and found that there was indeed a village in South Vietnam that had contracted the plague, but because there had been such a plague in South Vietnam before, they were quickly cured. Still, people are dead and missing. ”

Bao Yun tried her best to explain the ins and outs of the matter briefly, and Yan Lie listened to it, and there was no more doubt. What Bao Yun said is reasonable.

However, Bao Yun still forgot to say something, Wei Rong added: "The corpses of the four South Vietnamese have been brought back to the capital. It's just outside the capital, but fortunately it's winter, so it's good to preserve. ”

Yan Lie's complexion did not change, and he was already thinking about what to do about this matter. In a few days, the South Vietnamese mission will enter Beijing to discuss the truce.

In fact, if the plague can be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate, it will be beneficial to Qi Sheng. But the problem is that the impact of the plague is too great, and so many people have died, if he uses this incident as a bargaining chip, he is afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people.

And...... This is not necessarily the work of the South Vietnamese.

Thinking like this, Bao Yun said: "Although this is the corpse of the South Vietnamese, after General Wei's investigation, it was found that in addition to the corpse, there was no trace of the South Vietnamese people's hands, and it looked like it was done by our Qi Sheng people." ”

He sneered, thought for a moment, and said, "There are traces of the Sheng family's hands, right?" ”

He said this, but no one answered his words, Baoyun and Wei Rong didn't speak, they said that this was enough.

"Well, I know this in my heart. Those corpses of the South Vietnamese, Wei Rong, you have to deal with them, but don't make any more moths. Yan Lie said.

Wei Rong replied in a deep voice.

After finishing speaking, Yan Lie looked at Bao Yun, showed a smile, and said, "The matter of this plague is thanks to the county lord, these things, please don't talk about these things after the county lord goes out." ”

Bao Yun bent her knees and said, "The emperor can rest assured, the courtiers will not say much." ”

Yan Lie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I still have something to discuss with these Aiqing, you can go to the side hall for tea." ”

Bao Yun didn't ask anything, and then blessed her body and followed the palace maid to the side hall.

In the imperial study, after Baoyun went out for a long time, it was quiet, Yan Lie didn't speak, and no one spoke.

After a long while, Yan Lie spoke: "What do you think about this negotiation with South Vietnam?" ”

Wei Rong and Jiang Mohan both lowered their heads, and had no intention of speaking. There are also Sima Changkong and Wei Jie here, and it is not his turn to speak first.

Wei Rong glanced at Sima Changkong, Sima Changkong smiled, and Wei Jie said: "I heard that this time it is the sons of the four princes and wizards of Nanyue who came to negotiate, and the lord of Nanyue has a total of six sons, I heard that these four princes are the most gentle and elegant, and they have never advocated war, and he came to negotiate, at least it is beneficial for us to negotiate peace." ”

"Not necessarily." As soon as Wei Jie's words fell, Wei Rong objected: "The biological mother of these four princes died early, and they grew up under the queen's knees, and they have always supported the prince. I heard that the prince was violent, thanks to the four princes who have been persuading him to do so, so he didn't let the prince make any big mistakes. Such a prince should not be underestimated. ”

Yan Lie nodded, didn't say anything, but asked, "What's the matter with that wizard's son?" ”

"The South Vietnamese have always believed in divination of celestial phenomena the most, and this sorcerer's son is not famous, he just wants to bring divination and the like." Wei Jie replied.

The point is to investigate what kind of people the four princes of South Vietnam are.

Yan Lie thought about it, found that Sima Changkong didn't say anything, and asked, "General Sima, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Sima Changkong groaned slightly, and said: "In fact, after the battles fought by the avant-garde generals in the southern border, South Vietnam suffered heavy losses. In addition, General Shen later led people to burn grain and grass, and it was not easy for the South Vietnamese to raise grain and grass in the ice and snow, coupled with the lack of troops, if we Qi Sheng really desperately had to continue fighting, then South Vietnam would be in danger. Therefore, South Vietnam is more urgent than we are for peace negotiations. We are more proactive in this regard, and the biggest change is in the conditions, and we will see what their conditions are, and we will not be able to accept them when the time comes. ”

This is also reasonable, in terms of national strength, Qi Sheng is much stronger than South Vietnam. Now there is no civil strife in the country, the plague in the north has been resolved, and there is no movement in Mobei. Under such circumstances, South Vietnam should be more and more afraid to act rashly.

As long as those people in the country who eat inside and outside are more peaceful, there will not be any big mess in this peace negotiation.

Therefore, it is thought that the main thing they have to guard against is not the South Vietnamese people, but their own people.

"Okay, then you can find out more information to make sure there are no accidents." Yan Lie commanded.

Yan Ming had been listening to the side, and when he heard that this matter had come to an end, he said loudly: "Father, as well as the official positions of Sheng Langming and Zhao Xun, what do you plan?" ”

At this juncture, the official positions of Sheng Langming and Zhao Xun are particularly important. If these two people are put in important positions, it will inevitably be bad.

But if the resettlement is not good, after all, they are also coming back from the north, and if the resettlement is not good, they will fall into the mouth.
