The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian's merciless words caused all the officials in the mission to look different.

Several people felt that Jia Lian's words were too harsh and showed displeasure on their faces.

"Why did the imperial envoy make such a statement, we are waiting for Wei, for the consideration of the court, why are we so selfish?
Forgive me for not being able to bear the words of the imperial envoy. "

A young official stood up and retorted with a frown.

Although he was only a seventh-rank official, he was born in a serious imperial examination, and he had a sense of arrogance in his heart.

Therefore, he even had a faint sense of pride when he argued with Jia Lian face to face.He feels that at this moment, he is a model who is not afraid of power, mighty and unyielding.

What's this called? It's called literati style!
He is not afraid that Jia Lian will take care of him.First, he believes that he is impartial and is on the side of justice. As long as Jia Lian has some face, he will not attack him because of this.Second, he felt that Jia Lian and them were not in the same way, so naturally there was no need to be too particular about it.

It seems that people like Jia Lian who came from rich and powerful people who rely on their kindness to become officials, and those people who have climbed up step by step after ten years of hard work, are not in the same circle at all. Naturally, he doesn't need to care too much about offending Jia Lian. .

Even, as long as he argues today and defeats Jia Lian, who is in a high position, he himself will gain great prestige.At the very least, the colleagues here will definitely look at him with admiration.

Jia Lian took a look at this man.

Since leaving Beijing, the division of labor between him and Xiang He has been relatively clear.He is in charge of military affairs, while Xiang He is in charge of the internal affairs of the mission.

Therefore, Jia Lian only knew a few important officials in the mission. As for the other minor officials, he only took a look at them, but didn't pay attention at all.

Xiang He guessed that Jia Lian might not know this person, so he hurriedly introduced, "My lord, this is Xiao Jing, the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of compiling and recording documents for this trip."

Jia Lian can see through the little official Zhima's thoughts at a glance.Therefore, after Xiang He's introduction, he didn't look at the young official at all, but turned to everyone present.

"My lords, you all feel the same way. You think that exchanging a woman for benefits is a selfless thing to do to add face and glory to Wei and the court?"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

But not everyone dared to challenge Jia Lian, who held Shang Fang's sword and had the power of life and death.Not everyone is as reckless as that Xiao Jing.

Therefore, no one answered Jia Lian's words, and when Jia Lian looked over, many people hurriedly shook their heads, expressing that they did not agree with Xiao Jing's words.

Because of Jia Lian's previous attitude, Xiao Jing felt slighted.At this time, it was even more embarrassing to see that the crowd pushed Jia Lian aside because they didn't dare to offend Jia Lian's power.

"My lord Jia, the re-establishment of the alliance with Oirat this time is a national policy formulated by the princes of the imperial court. We have spent all our efforts in negotiating with the envoys of Oirat for the sake of the imperial court.

Since Mr. Jia is an imperial envoy, he should put the court first. How can he be benevolent and act on his own will?If this ruined the good things of the alliance between the two countries, I am afraid that Mr. Jia will not be able to afford it. "

Hearing that Xiao Jing contradicted Jia Lian more and more, everyone sweated for him.Some thought he was brave, while others scolded him for being stupid.

Jia Lian finally locked his eyes on this jumping clown.

Seeing the resolute look on his face, Jia Lian suddenly smiled.

"Xiao Lingshi, right? Since Xiao Lingshi is so dedicated to serving the public, how can I disappoint Xiao Lingshi's dedication to the country?
That's fine, after the princess married Wala, there was still a lack of loyal servants around her.

How about Xiao Lingshi staying in Wala with the princess and being loyal to Her Royal Highness? "

"This……"

Xiao Jing was suddenly taken aback.

Jia Lian wants to leave him in Wala?
How can this work!

Not to mention that his whole family is in the capital, let’s just say that he has worked so hard for so many years, finally passed the entrance examination and was awarded an official position. It is time to show his ambitions. How could he stay in that desolate foreign land and serve a man who is destined to be nothing? Promising to marry a foreign princess?
In that way, not only will all the future be gone, but you don't need to think about it. After this accident, even the most favored prince of Wala died in their hands.After Princess Zhaoyang married, how could she be treated kindly by Wala?
Even if it was photographed by Wei Guowei, I dare not kill him, I am afraid that life will be very difficult.

Even if the master is like this, let alone the ministers who are waiting for him, he feels flustered just thinking about those suffering days.

"Humph!"

Jia Lian had no intention of wasting lip color with such jumping beam characters, and when he was speechless, he looked at the others coldly.

"Also, my lords, if there is anyone who thinks that they should continue to make peace with Wala, I will treat them equally and let them stay in Wala to be loyal to the court.

You don't have to doubt whether I can do what I say.Princess Zhaoyang is the most beloved granddaughter of the empress dowager, and also the favorite princess of His Majesty. How can the two saints let the princess be helpless in a foreign country?
As long as I write a letter expressing to the saints that you adults want to be loyal to the country, the court, and the princess, I believe that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will be very happy and gratified. "

Everyone who Jia Lian said was embarrassed.

Although they were sent as envoys by order, this time it can be regarded as a heavy responsibility.But apart from Jia Lian, even Xiang He, who was the deputy envoy, was an unwelcome middle-level official when he was in the court.

In the court, it is insignificant at all.

Xiang He is still like this, let alone them.

It can be said that all of them together are not as noble as a single finger of Princess Zhaoyang.

If Jia Lian really slandered Emperor Ningkang in front of Emperor Ningkang, he was afraid that Emperor Ningkang, who was eager to love his daughters, might "dowry" them all to Wala...

So they looked at each other and winked at Xiang He.

Xiang He sighed helplessly, stood up and cupped his hands with Jia Lian, and said, "I hope that the imperial envoy will forgive your sin. We are all subordinates to you this time, and all we do are for the court and to share your worries.

Since the adults feel that we have acted inappropriately, then we will naturally obey the orders of the adults.

Dare to ask my lord, what should I do now? "

Jia Lian was not in a hurry to reply to Xiang He, but looked at the others: "Why, you don't want to be loyal to the court, to the princess?"

Although Jia Lian's words were harsh, it was related to the future of the rest of his life. All the officials dared not be brave, and all laughed and said that everything was under Jia Lian's orders and arrangements.

Even Xiao Jing, seeing that the general situation was over, did not dare to provoke Jia Lian anymore, so he sat down sullenly.But he has already made up his mind that after returning to Beijing, he must let his friend who is the imperial censor participate in Jia Lian's book.

Although he is in the sixth branch of the central branch, he is only at the seventh rank, and he is not even qualified to go to the pilgrimage.

Seeing that everyone did not dare to do it again, Jia Lian said: "This time, my great Wei is willing to marry Princess Zhaoyang to Wala, which is a great favor to Wala. But they don't know how to repay their kindness. They are ambitious and not only colluded with the Tatars. Killed more than a thousand elite soldiers of our Great Wei Dynasty, and even tried to hijack my Shangbang princess and dedicate it to the Tartars.

Such a wolf-hearted, shameless person, if I, Dawei, marry the princess again, where will it be for my Princess Shangbang?To where are the spirits of the thousands of soldiers who died protecting the princess?Where is the majesty of my great Wei?

Therefore, I don't want to hear that any of you dare to mention marriage again.Otherwise, don't blame me for not being sympathetic. "

As Jia Lian said, she focused on looking at Xiao Jing.

Stared at by Jia Lian's stern eyes, Xiao Jing, who calmed down, remembered that Jia Lian has the right to life and death over him!
In a trance, he felt that he seemed to have walked between life and death.

Feeling cold in his heart, he lowered his head unconsciously, who wanted to hold his head high.

Then Jia Lian ignored him.

Originally, he really had the intention to kill Xiao Jing just now.It happened that he left Beijing this time, and his Shangfang sword had not seen blood yet.He thought that if this person was not knowledgeable anymore, he would use him to make a name for himself.

Now that this person is bowing his head, as long as there is no further trouble in the future, it is not worth fussing with him.

"However, although it is impossible for me, Da Wei, to agree to make peace with Wala again.

But none of the other agreed conditions can be changed.It should be that they broke their promises and made atonement for the thousands of soldiers who sacrificed innocently to our great Wei.

Well, then I would like to trouble Master Xiang to inform the envoy of Nawala, saying that I will personally discuss with him about revising the covenant tomorrow morning.

If nothing else, it's all gone. "

Jia Lian gave the last order, got up and left the meeting room directly.

After he left, all the envoys naturally began to whisper.

In the end, he could only speculate secretly, and did not dare to disobey Jia Lian's decision.
