Xiao Xuan wrote this letter very sincerely, pointing out that the two countries, Sichuan and Feng, are powerful and should not have a large-scale national war. If the two countries are in harmony, both will be prosperous, but if they are not in harmony, both will suffer and the lives will be ruined. Both sides should treat each other with sincerity.
, peace is the most precious thing.
In the second half of the letter, Xiao Xuan also specifically pointed out that the conflict between Sichuan and Fengfeng is likely to allow interested people to take advantage of others. As for the "intentional person" he mentioned, he did not clearly indicate that it is
Who, however, can be guessed.
At present, there are only three forces left in the Haotian Empire, one is the Feng Kingdom in the north, the other is the Sichuan Kingdom in the south, and the other is the small but unpredictable Shenchi. As for the Yu Kingdom, An Kingdom and Huan Kingdom
, are all vassals and not worth mentioning.
For the two countries of Sichuan and Feng, the only third party is Shenchi. Xiao Xuan's implication is to remind Tang Yin that the two countries of Sichuan and Feng are two tigers fighting each other and both will lose. The only one who can profit from it is convenience.
It is a sacred pond where you can sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight.
When Qiu Zhen finished reading the letter from beginning to end, Tang Yin looked up and laughed. He nodded first, then shook his head and said, "This Xiao Xuan is very smart, but he is too small-minded."
Qiu Zhen asked in confusion: "Why did the king say this?"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "He is right. It is indeed suspicious that Shenchi has been standing still. However, if it makes sense, just be reasonable. He knew that I didn't read much, so he deliberately used wild words to embarrass me and insinuated that I was uneducated.
, Hehe, he is no match for me on the battlefield, and he can only defeat me by comparing his knowledge with me."
Qiu Zhen couldn't help but laugh and shook his head secretly, feeling that the king was thinking too much. After all, the king of Sichuan was also the king of a country, so how could he play such a trick that only children could use.
But Shangguan Yuanji nodded in agreement. The correspondence between the monarchs can be regarded as government affairs between countries. Letters should be written in block letters. This is the most basic respect for the other party. Xiao Xuan used wild cursive, even if he was not ashamed
The word "shy" also means domineering and condescending, which is the attitude of a superior country towards a small country.
Tang Yin lowered his head and looked at the letter again, thought for a moment, raised his head and said: "Yuanji, please write a reply to Xiao Xuan for me. The general meaning is... I accept the peace negotiation and am willing to let the two countries live in harmony.
, even if the two countries join forces to kill the 'intentional person' first, I will accept it."
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji took a breath, looked at each other, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice, this matter is not trivial..."
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Let's take a look at Xiao Xuan's reaction first. Can't you two really see that the threat of Shenchi to our country is much greater than that of Sichuan? I think the same is true for Xiao Xuan
I think so."
"I understand. I will write a reply right now and have the Sichuan courier send it back!" Shangguan Yuanji said with cupped hands.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, suddenly remembered something, patted Shangguan Yuanji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Write the words more beautifully, we can't be as narrow-minded as Xiao Xuan!"
"Haha!" Shangguan Yuanji smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know."
Shangguan Yuanji wrote a reply to Xiao Xuan in the name of Tang Yin, and gave it to the messenger of Sichuan Kingdom on the same day, asking him to take it back to Sichuan Kingdom.
This communication between Xiao Xuan and Tang Yin basically foreshadowed the end of this war in advance.
Not long ago, Tang Yin set off and returned to Chengjiang, the capital of Feng Kingdom. Accompanying him were Princess Yin Rou, Jade King Lingshuang, and Wan Guan, who was in charge of Yuexiu Villa.
There was no talking all the way. After nearly two months of travel, Tang Yin and his team finally arrived in Zhenjiang.
There were still ten miles away from Zhenjiang, and a large and dark cavalry team was seen standing in front of them. Tang Yin, who was sitting in the carriage, happened to see it and asked Asan and Si outside, Cheng Jin and others said: "Who are the cavalry in front?
Which regiment?"
Cheng Jin quickly came to the carriage, raised his hands and replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, they are heavy cavalry, they should be soldiers of the Ninth Legion."
Tang Yin smiled leisurely, shook his head and said: "This place is still ten miles away from Zhenjiang, and the Ninth Army Corps went out of their way to put up such a large formation to greet them. Qi Heng is really good at flattering others!"
Cheng Jin was also happy and didn't say anything more. Qi Heng was a rough man, but he was very good at pleasing the king. Of course, there was nothing wrong with him doing this, but he seemed too attentive and too spineless.
Soon, Tang Yin's honor guard came into contact with the cavalry of the Ninth Army.
It stands to reason that the guard of honor was approaching, and the troops greeting them in front should immediately retreat to both sides and give way to the road. However, the Ninth Army did not give way. Instead, the soldiers dismounted and knelt on the ground. Looking up, they saw a dense darkness.
Seeing this, not to mention Ah San and Ah Si, Cheng Jin and others were stunned. Even Tang Yin was confused. What kind of way of greeting was this?
Cheng Jin frowned, took several hidden arrow personnel, quickly rushed to the front of the honor guard, shouted at the kneeling Ninth Legion soldiers opposite: "What are you doing? Don't you know that you are blocking the king's honor guard?
?Get out of the way quickly!"
"Your Majesty, you are wronged!" "Your Majesty wants to make the decision for our ninth legion..."
It was better for Cheng Jin not to speak. As soon as he shouted, the voices of injustice spread all over the Ninth Legion camp. Cheng Jin was furious. He squinted his eyes and looked around. He saw Ye Tang in the crowd and raised his eyebrows.
General Yu, he strode forward, bent down, and asked in a low voice: "General Ye, General Gao, what is going on? What on earth do you want to do?"
"We want to see the king!" Ye Tang and Gao Yu said in unison.
"The king has not summoned you two. Please lead your troops and retreat quickly. If you dare to block the king's honor guard again, you two will have to suffer a lot!"
Cheng Jin tried his best to lower his voice and reminded in a low voice that after all, Ye Tang and Gao Yu were both old men in the military, and he did not want them to get into trouble.
But Ye Tang and Gao Yu were like bastards holding a weight, determined not to give way. They said in unison: "The Ninth Army has a grievance and must see the king immediately!"
"You..." Cheng Jin was so angry that he wanted to slap his hands on them. At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice asking from behind: "What's going on?"
Cheng Jin hurriedly looked back and saw the king coming over at some point. He hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Report to the king, it is General Ye and General Gao who are here to welcome the king!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tang, Gao Yu and the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army began to shout: "Your Majesty wants to make the decision for us! Your Majesty wants to make the decision for the Ninth Army..."
Tang Yin frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Ye Tang and Gao Yu walked with their knees as their feet, crawled to Tang Yin on their knees, and said in a trembling voice: "General Qi, the commander of our army, was... arrested, and is currently being held in the Lieutenant's Mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Yin was dumbfounded, and Cheng Jin on the side almost choked on his own saliva.
This is unbelievable. Qi Heng was arrested? Who did it? Who would have such courage? Qi Heng is a dignified general and the commander of an army. He is the only one who can arrest others. Who else can arrest him?
ah?
Tang Yin scratched his forehead and asked: "Tell me clearly, what exactly happened? How did Qi Heng get arrested into the Lieutenant's Mansion?"
"This is all the fault of Zhang Zhe, the imperial censor! Zhang Zhe accused General Qi of colluding with military officers and merchants, bending the law for personal gain, and abusing his power. He ordered the lieutenant's office to arrest General Qi, even... even..."
At this point, Ye Tang and Gao Yu showed anger and embarrassment, hesitating and saying no more.
Tang Yin became anxious and shouted: "Even what? Finish your words!"
Hearing his words, Ye and Gao trembled and whispered cautiously: "Even the king's father-in-law, Mr. Fan, was arrested by Zhang Zhe's order." When speaking, they both lowered their heads.
, dare not look Tang Yin in the face.
Tang Yin doubted whether his ears had heard it wrong. Zhang Zhe also arrested Fan Ju? Fan Ju was Fan Min's biological father, and Fan Min was his wife. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner, let alone the father-in-law.
!
He is arresting Qi Heng and Fan Ju again. What on earth is Zhang Zhe going to do?
How come Qiu Zhen and Yuan Ji had only been away from the capital for so many days, but so many things happened in the capital? Tang Yin felt a headache. The rush in the past few days was enough to make him tired, but when he came back, he heard these things, no matter what
No one would be able to bear it.
He raised his hands and rubbed his temples hard. Cheng Jin advised in a low voice from the side: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is by no means an unreasonable person. There must be something hidden in it..."
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupting Cheng Jin's words. He took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked around at the soldiers of the Ninth Army in front of him. Finally, his eyes fell on Ye Tang and Gao Yu. His tone was calm and without any ups and downs, and he asked: "You two
What are you doing here with so many troops?"
"In the end, I will ask the king to uphold justice..."
"Does it take so many people to ask this king to uphold justice? I don't think you two are here to ask me to uphold justice, but more like you are here to ask my king to seek justice!" Tang Yin's eyes flashed.
Ye Tang and Gao Yu trembled in fright and said in a trembling voice: "There will be no final general..."
"How many troops did you two bring? Thirty thousand? Or fifty thousand? Who gave you two such great powers to mobilize the troops privately?" Tang Yinhu's eyes became brighter, and he turned his head and shouted: "Cheng Jin, General
Capture them both and hand them over to the lieutenant's office for strict handling!"
"Your Majesty!" Ye Tang and Gao Yu's faces turned pale at this moment, they kowtowed repeatedly and shouted loudly: "This general has no intention of entering the palace. Your Majesty knows it clearly, Your Majesty..."
Cheng Jin didn't know what to do. Ye Tang and Gao Yu were both deputy commanders of the Ninth Army and famous generals of the Feng Kingdom. If they were really convicted of rape, not only would their heads be saved, but they would also lose their heads.
A large group of people from the Ninth Army must also be implicated.
Seeing Ye Tang and Gao Yu hugging his thighs and crying, and Cheng Jin standing aside motionless, Tang Yin became even more upset. He raised his legs and kicked them away, kicked Ye Tang and Gao Yu away, and murmured.
