I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 258 A Completely Different Reply

Wang Zhi thought that in the face of reprimands, the people who were doing things for others would bow their heads in shame.

Unexpectedly, instead of feeling ashamed in the slightest, the other party insisted on coming back.

His face was flushed red, he stared at the man firmly, and said through gritted teeth: "You are extremely shameless! You are still not from Zhou!"

The man looked indifferent, and said in a bad mood: "If I can not be bullied by you people, I have fields, I have food, and I don't want to be Zhou people!"

"you!"

These words made Wang Zhi completely speechless, his face flushed with anger, and he pointed at him, unable to utter a word.

The man didn't finish, he stared at Wang Zhi, raised his voice, and said angrily: "You just said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a family and country. The court is fighting with the state of Zhou. Why didn't I see you donate your property? Didn't you see you go to battle and kill?" Enemy? Talking while standing up doesn’t hurt your back! It’s a shame you have the guts to say everyone is responsible!”

this moment.

Wang Zhi suddenly realized that the person in front of him had read some books, so he was not an illiterate peasant.

As a result, his heart became heavier and his expression became more angry.

"It wasn't the soldiers of the court who went to battle to kill the enemy, could it be you? Besides, if all the ministers of the court were to fight on the battlefield, would the court be left to people like you to maintain it? How do you know that we didn't donate money?" family property?"

Hearing this, the surrounding people showed disdain.

The man let out a sneer and said coldly:
"The people who went to battle to kill the enemy were also people from poor families. It has nothing to do with you. As for those generals, they are usually rich and rich, and they can't enjoy it. They went to the battlefield, but they fought like this. They are not as good as the masters in the fields. mouse!
You just said that the ministers want to maintain the court, so what about their sons, grandsons, and nephews?

On weekdays, everyone has no official status, but they are also domineering. At this time of crisis, why can't they join the army and serve the court like the poor people? "

Speaking of this, he paused, his expression became more and more disdainful, and he hummed:
"As for donating or not donating property, I have eyes and can tell!
Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Xinyi Mansion. After the dry man came, how much money and food was seized from the gentry's mansion!
Just a prefect of Xinyi, who has been in office for less than five years, unexpectedly found ten boxes of gold and silver treasures. If these silvers are used as military pay, I don’t know how many soldiers can be recruited!
You are domineering and domineering on weekdays, and when you are in danger, you still guard the people's fat and people's anointing obtained by searching the people. In the end, you still blame us poor people who have suffered in the past and may not even be able to fill their stomachs. Do you still want to show your face? !
To say you are brazen is an understatement!

People like you should have no descendants! "

Speaking of this, he has become extremely angry, his eyes seem to burst into flames, and he is staring at Wang Zhi who is wearing a python robe on a tall horse.

The people around also showed grief and indignation, cursing and swearing.

All this obviously exceeded Wang Zhi's expectation.

He was riding on the horse, his face was flushed red, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

Especially the last sentence broke his psychological defense.

The man might just be cursing, but to him, it was the truth.

He is an eunuch, and a person without roots would be cut off from his sons and grandchildren.

aside.

Seeing that the two sides blamed each other, the cadres looked like they were watching the fun, and they didn't stop them.

At the end, I couldn't help laughing out loud.

These people may not have noticed.

He can see clearly.

The deputy envoy of the mission in front of him was wearing a luxurious python robe.

But with a pale face and beardless voice, he is obviously a rootless eunuch.

The man's sentence of "cutting off children and grandchildren" really hit the nail on the head.

"Shameless!"

The eunuch who was usually eloquent and eloquent, could only choke out these two words at the moment.

After vomiting it out, he stopped entangled with these "shameless ones", reined in the horse rope, and continued to move forward, but his face became even uglier.

After half an hour.

In the main hall of the government office.

Wang Zhi finally met Bai Qi, the chief general of the Gan army.

"General Bai, Wang Zhi, deputy envoy of the official mission, is ordered by His Majesty to represent the imperial court and negotiate peace with Qianguo."

Sitting sideways, Wang Zhi had regained his composure, looked at Bai Qi, and said calmly.

Bai Qi, dressed in military uniform, sat on the grand master's chair, looked Wang Zhi up and down, and frowned slightly.

After a few breaths of silence, he said coldly: "This general does not negotiate with eunuchs, but wants to negotiate a peace, get someone else!"

The voice fell.

Wang Zhi's expression changed instantly.

Although he is a eunuch, his status and power are not weaker than the cabinet's grand scholars.

This time he came to negotiate, and he was the deputy envoy of the mission, and he was wearing the python robe bestowed by His Majesty.

Bai Qi in front of him, without saying a word, pointed out his identity as a eunuch as soon as he came up, and his words were full of disdain.

Such arrogance is either to establish prestige, or it is not prepared to negotiate at all.

"Bai Qi, this official is here to represent the imperial court!"

Wang Zhi stared at Bai Qi and raised his voice.

Bai Qi still looked calm and calm, and said coldly: "I will say it again, if you want to negotiate a peace, you need to find someone else."

See him so determined.

Wang Zhi's heart sank.

If it is true as he said, if another person comes to negotiate, it is tantamount to telling Qian Ren that the court is eager to seek peace.

In this way, when negotiating, it is inevitable that the other party will speak loudly.

Thinking of this.

Wang Zhi's eyes showed a sharp, tough response.

"In that case, let's not discuss this peace!"

"it is good!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Qi waved his hand and said coldly: "Come here! See off the guests!"

So resolute, without sloppy at all.

Wang Zhi saw it in his eyes, but it was cool in his heart.

At this moment, he was finally convinced that the other party really had no intention of negotiating peace.

The Prime Minister of the State of Qian had just repelled the 30 troops of the State of Yan.

Bai Qi received another [-] reinforcements.

When they had the upper hand, it was human nature to be unwilling to negotiate a peace.

This is the end of the matter, there is no point in staying.

Wang Zhi didn't hesitate anymore, stood up abruptly, snorted coldly, and said coldly: "Since you don't have the intention of negotiating peace, let's fight each other on the battlefield!"

After uttering a harsh word, he waved his sleeves and strode away.

Bai Qi sat on the spot, looking at his back with firm eyes.

After a while, the lieutenant general was called and said: "The reinforcements have just arrived, and the soldiers will inevitably be slack. You should keep an eye on them these few days, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and prepare for battle at any time!"

When the lieutenants heard this, they all bowed their hands and saluted:

"Yes, General!"

the other side.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Xie Qian, looked at Wang Zhi in front of him, with a heavy expression on his old face, and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, we have to fight a battle first, to dampen the enthusiasm that was born in vain, otherwise, peace talks will be just a fantasy."

Wang Zhi sighed, and said helplessly: "Things are up to now, that's all there is to it."

After the two reached an agreement.

Xie Qian looked at the commander of the Huben army, and said: "General Le, after the reinforcements arrive, attack the city with all your strength, don't have any scruples, this battle must be fought with the majesty of the imperial court!"

Le Liang was silent for a while, cupped his hands and said: "The last general will definitely go all out!"

Hearing this, Xie Qian supported the table, stood up from the grand teacher's chair, walked tremblingly in front of Le Liang, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "General Le, can the peace negotiation go smoothly?" , depends on the general!"

Looking at the vicissitudes of life in front of him.

Le Liang's expression became more solemn, and he said firmly: "For His Majesty, for the court, I will do my best in the end, and I will die!"

"it is good!"

Xie Qian patted Le Liang's shoulder heavily: "General Le still has military affairs, so let's get busy first."

"I will retire at the end!"

Le Liang saluted, turned and left.

Only Xie Qian and Wang Zhi were left in the room.

The two looked at each other, and they could see a touch of anxiety and uneasiness in each other's eyes. They felt more and more that the peace negotiation this time was difficult, dangerous and full of difficulties.

at the same time.

Changan.

It rained continuously for three days.

Even some parts of the palace have accumulated water.

Through the newly replaced glazed windows, one can see a layer of white rain and mist splashing on the ground outside, like a misty white gauze.

A gust of wind blew over, and the white gauze floated away curlingly, and the raindrops slanted on the glass windows, stirring up splashes of water.

Wu Mingkong stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, his delicate face was expressionless.

Lin Wan'er stood behind the empress, holding a bowl of light porridge in her hand, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Hearing Lin Wan'er's voice, Wu Mingkong turned his head, returned to the dragon chair, reached out to take the porridge, picked up the spoon, and stirred it gently, looking absent-minded.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wan'er immediately understood that His Majesty was thinking about Fangxiang again.

"How is the progress of the archway outside the city?"

Wu Mingkong put down the spoon in his hand and asked.

Lin Wan'er replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is still drawing up the blueprints, and there is still some time before the start of work."

Wu Mingkong was silent for a few breaths, and said: "Since it is to commemorate this time's great victory in Yongzhou, the design should be grand enough, so that the people who come and go can feel the strength of the imperial court!"

Lin Wan'er said: "Zhao Shilang also said the same thing. After the drawings are drawn, they will be presented to His Majesty for review."

Wu Mingkong nodded, stopped asking any more questions, picked up the spoon again, and put it in his mouth.

at this time.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and they stopped outside the hall.

Lin Wan'er immediately understood, found an excuse, and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After a while, when I returned to the empress, there were two more letters in my hand.

"Your Majesty, the letter from Wochuan Mansion is for you."

The voice fell.

There was a crisp sound in the hall.

It was the little empress who didn't hold the spoon and fell to the ground.

Mingming couldn't wait to read the contents of the letter.

But the little empress still pretended not to care, and said calmly, "Bring it to me to see."

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er smiled and responded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The little empress took the letter and read it from top to bottom, with a serious and focused expression.

"I've read your letter, it's very well written and brilliant, but it lacks some real emotion.

I once told you that what should be given to you will be given to you in due time, and what should not be given to you can be asked for no matter what you do. In the future, such superficial efforts can be done, but it is not necessary.

The flower in the letter is called Clivia, and it is a specialty of Yongzhou. I wandered around a few days ago and picked a few plants. They are about to wither, and it is useless to keep them. Let me show you."

A few short lines of words made the little empress stunned in place.

"Damn Fang Xiu! You are so perfunctory!"

Wu Mingkong's delicate face revealed an angry look, and an unspeakable discomfort pervaded in her heart, making her eyes stingy, and even the withered Clivia plant was extremely eye-catching.

The 20 Yan army led by Ban Hongfei stopped between Yongzhou and Wochuan Mansion.

Communication is extremely inconvenient.

She waited for this reply for an unknown amount of time, but it turned out to be so perfunctory.

There was a bit of contempt in the words, which was even more difficult for her to accept.

Take a deep breath.

Read it again from beginning to end to make sure that the contents of the letter are correct.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes couldn't help being a little moist, she gritted her teeth and thought, men really don't have a good thing!

"Fang Xiu is a bastard, he must have had a new love in Yongzhou. He marched and fought, and he still didn't forget to tease those little ladies. It's disgusting! Bah!"

While cursing, Wu Mingkong held back his tears.

Lin Wan'er stood behind the little empress with a look of bewilderment in her eyes.

It stands to reason that unless a letter addressed to His Majesty is specially marked, His Majesty will personally authorize it.

The rest had to be reviewed by the female officer of the Shangyi Bureau, and they were not forwarded to His Majesty until they confirmed that there was no treasonous content.

Given that these two letters were sent by Fang Xiang.

Lin Wan'er just asked about the general content of the letter, but did not open it.

The person who sent the letter clearly said that Fang Xiang wrote the letter with concern, why did it make His Majesty so sad?

Just when she was puzzled.

The little empress held back her tears and opened the second letter.

"Received His Majesty's handwritten letter, I read it over and over again, with deep affection, I feel beyond words. It has been two months since I left Chang'an City, and it has been more than a month since the last reply letter. I am deeply moved, and my fist is Yinshu. The minister's longing for His Majesty has never stopped for a moment.

Your majesty's voice and smile are vivid, there are poems saying, if the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening, but as far as I am concerned, the two loves are long-lasting, and I still hope to be with your majesty day and night."

Every word and sentence is full of affection and meaning, coming from the heart.

Vaguely, there seemed to be tears left on the yellowed letter paper.

Although he knew that Fang Xiu's bastard would never shed tears because he missed him, there was a high probability that he did it on purpose for the marks on the letter paper.

But the little empress was still very moved when she saw it.

"This traitor will always say sweet words to deceive me."

Wu Mingkong's beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of water, holding the letter in his hand, although his mouth was not forgiving, there was a smile between his brows and eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er was completely dumbfounded.

He was still sad just now, but in less than half a stick of incense, he showed the opposite emotion again.

Your Majesty, what's the matter?
Just when she was puzzled.

Wu Mingkong put the two letters together and compared them back and forth.

After a while.

She was finally convinced that the first letter was not addressed to her.

If you think about it carefully, it's normal.

This letter was supposed to be sent to Chang'an a month ago, but was stopped by Yan Jun on the way.

While escaping from the pursuit, while guarding the letter, there is no signature on it. It is no wonder that the same letter is not messed up when it arrives in Chang'an.

just.

She was a little curious.

Since the letter was not addressed to her, who was it addressed to?

Where was the letter to her sent?
