Chapter 32: Xin Han courting marriage
"Fu'er, this battle is well fought and fought beautifully, you immediately go to Jizhou City, and bring the Xinhan generals who participated in the aid of my Great Yan Kingdom to the imperial city, and I want to reward them well. Murong Longcheng instructed Murong Fu.
"Obey the order, Erchen will go immediately!"
In the imperial city of the Xin Han Kingdom, Xiao Guizi ran in a hurry, he ran to the upper study, and shouted to Liu Fei, who was discussing with the ministers of Shangshu, "Your Majesty, good news, good news, the two marshals who went out to the Yan Kingdom have sent news!"
"What! Quick, bring it to me!" As soon as he heard the news from Yan Kingdom, Liu Fei was so excited that he couldn't do it, this was the first time that Xin Hanguo's army went out to fight, and it was his first time participating in the war, which was by no means the same as what was played in the TV series, it was props to assist in acting, it was the formation of special effects, and what he was experiencing now was a real war.
After receiving the fold from Xiao Guizi's hand, Liu Fei's hands were trembling, and he didn't know if it was good news when he opened it. Or maybe it's bad news that you can't afford to bear. But in any case, this letter is to be opened, and the decision is to be made.
Liu Fei slowly soared, carefully flipped over the folds, carefully reviewed little by little, looking at Liu Fei's sunny expression, the ministers did not dare to disturb Liu Fei, they could only wait quietly for Liu Fei to finish reading the folds. After a long time, Liu Fei closed the fold and stared in the direction of Yan Guo with a peaceful gaze, and he hadn't moved for a long time.
"Wen Ruo, the household department wants to allocate some money to bury our brave and fearless heroes, and give care and condolences to their families. β
"Your Majesty, don't be sad and sad, the ministers will definitely bury the soldiers, you have to take care of the dragon's body!" Xun Yu dissuaded.
"100,000 soldiers went on an expedition, but 40,000 people were buried forever in their homeland, and yesterday he was still a living person, and today he has become a permanent loess. β
"Your Majesty, war is always so cruel, this is a world of the jungle, Your Majesty must not be disturbed by the demons in your heart. Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said that he was afraid that Liu Fei would be disturbed by the dead and wounded sergeants all of a sudden, which would be extremely detrimental to the development of Xinhan in the future.
"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, I know that where there is a war, there must be casualties, and I will be transformed. Liu Fei knew the worries in the hearts of Zhang Liang and others, as a civil and military general, he hoped to follow the Lord to conquer the world, make meritorious contributions, and be famous through the ages.
At the garrison of the army in Jizhou City, Bai Qi and Zhang Liao were receiving a guest, who was Murong Fu, the second prince of Yan State, who came by order.
"Second prince, we thank His Majesty the Emperor of Yanguo for his kind invitation, but we are soldiers, and we must obey orders as our duty, and now Your Majesty does not have any orders, we must not leave without permission, otherwise Your Majesty will blame it, and we can't afford it!"
"It's just to go to the imperial city for a walk, and then my father will give you a celebration banquet!"
"Second Highness, how can I celebrate, my tens of thousands of brothers have already died on the battlefield, do they have no blessings to enjoy!" Zhang Liao, who was standing on the side, muttered loudly to Murong Fu.
"Second Highness, Lao Zhang, he is in a bad mood, his words are too radical, I hope Second Highness don't care!" Bai Qi pulled Zhang Liao who spoke, and then apologized to Murong Fu, Bai Qi understood Zhang Liao, 50,000 brothers followed out, and there were only more than 20,000 people who went back, which is uncomfortable in anyone's heart, but this is war, and there will be casualties in the war.
"General Bai, General Zhang, I can understand the feelings of the two, but the deceased is gone, they are all heroes of my Yan Kingdom, I will report to my father and the emperor, give the greatest help to their families, and I hope the two generals will consider it." Murong Fu still hopes that Bai Qi and Zhang Liao can meet his father, and let the soldiers of Yan State see the demeanor of the soldiers of Xin Han Kingdom.
"Second Highness, you also know that military orders are difficult to do, and military orders are like mountains! Otherwise, if you wait any longer, we have already reported the situation to my Imperial Majesty, and there should be an answer soon!" Bai Qi said to Murong Fu in a soft voice.
"Okay then, I'll wait a little longer!" No way, if you can't bring it back, you can't deal with it yourself, and there is a wolf-like prince staring at it, if it is not handled well, it will cause a big disaster.
"Report, General, the gods are here!" a herald said to Bai Qi.
"Who are the gods coming?" Bai Qi asked, now that the battle is over, it is the turn of the post-war negotiations, this is not something that Bai Qi and others can decide, His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial city will definitely send someone to take over, but I don't know if it is the left and right ministers, or which Shangshu came to negotiate.
"General Hui, this time it is the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord Yan Huayan. Yan Hua, is the new Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is Wei Zheng's good friend, has traveled to various countries, has a certain understanding of the countries and rich negotiation skills, and is Wei Zheng's friend, after Wei Zheng's introduction, Liu Fei is very fond of this Yan Hua, the two of them talked for a long night, mutual learning and exchange of various knowledge and talking methods of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both sides have benefited a lot, see each other late, Yan Hua then took the initiative to stay to do the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which made Liu Fei can not ask for it, immediately enshrined Yan Hua as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is Yan Hua's first visit since his tenureγ
"The new secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, well, with someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs taking over, it will be much easier for me. Second Highness, please wait a moment, we will go and meet our Lord Shangshu first, and then he will decide the issues we have discussed before. β
"I've seen Lord Shangshu!" Bai Qi and Zhang Liao walked into the big account and saluted Yan Hua, who was standing in front of the table.
"The two generals, please get up quickly, the two marshals are fighting from afar, it's hard work!"
"Master Shangshu has been running all the way, you are the hard-working! Brother Zhang and I are just completing the tasks assigned by His Majesty. Bai Qi and Zhang Liao replied modestly.
"Two marshals, Your Majesty's secret decree!" Yan Hua finished speaking, took out the secret decree handed over by Liu Fei from his sleeve and gave it to Bai Qi and Zhang Liao.
"The last general's order!" Bai Qi and Zhang Liao were about to kneel down to receive the order, but they were pulled by Yan Hua, and said: "Your Majesty can let you wait for you to open and read it by yourself, and you don't need to salute." Bai Qi and Zhang Liao opened the secret decree, and the secret decree praised Bai Qi and Zhang Liao's battle, although it failed to maximize the benefits and minimize the losses, but it was also a success. In the end, Liu Fei asked Bai Qi and Zhang Liao to go to the capital of Yan with Shangshu Yan Hua, not only to protect themselves, but also to bring Yan Hua back to Xinhan unscathed. After reading the secret decree, Bai Qi and Zhang Liao immediately said that everything was subject to Yan Hua's arrangement, and then under the guidance of Bai Qi, Yan Hua met Murong Fu and conveyed Liu Fei's meaning to him, and Murong Fu was very happy to invite the three of them to go to the capital of Yan Kingdom together!
On the main hall of Yan State, Yan Hua, Bai Qi, and Zhang Liao stood together and saluted Emperor Murong Longcheng of Yan State: "Emperor Xin Han Kingdom, Yan Hua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bai Qi, the generalissimo of the Vermilion Bird Legion, and Zhang Liao, the generalissimo of the Qilin Legion, greet His Majesty the Emperor of Yan State." β
"Oh, Lord Shangshu, the two marshals are exempt, please get up quickly, everyone has come from afar, for the peace of my Dayan, you have worked hard. β
"Emperor Yan is serious, His Majesty My Emperor once said that the two countries of Han and Yan are not only in-laws, but also neighbors and friends for many years, the two have been friendly for decades, and the Yan country is in trouble. Yan Hua said humbly.
"What kind of Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did I say, and I don't know what position you have in the Xin Han Kingdom, do you have the qualifications to envoy my Great Yan Kingdom?" Before Murong Longcheng could speak, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince below asked.
"Your Royal Highness's question is reasonable, my Xin Han country has always been a ceremonial state, all envoys are determined according to the scale of the envoy country, and the degree of diplomatic relations with my Xin Han country, Your Royal Highness can decide the position of the foreign minister and whether he is qualified to envoy Yan State according to these two points. β
"In other words, Emperor Xinhan looks down on our Yan Kingdom? Send a little-known person like you to envoy my Yan Kingdom? at least send Di Renjie, Zhang Liang and others!"
"Big brother, shut up, Father, the Xin Han Kingdom implements an eleven-ministry system, in addition to the left and right ministers, the highest official position belongs to the ministers of Shangshu, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a special department established by the Xin Han to deal with foreign affairs to various countries, this is the highest honor that the Xin Han Kingdom has given me to the Yan State!"
"I see, Yan Shangshu, the concubine has no form, please forgive Lord Shangshu!"
"His Majesty Emperor Yan is serious, the foreign minister said, my Xin Han Kingdom and Yan State are the country of in-laws, and now the foreign minister came, one is to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor on recovering the lost land, and the one who came is to propose to Yan State. β
