Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 184

Although there is the influence of the small glacier climate, the temperature is getting colder every year.

But now in May and June, the entire Shanhaiguan area has begun to be dyed green, and people have begun to run out of their kangs to start a year of production.

With Zhu Youxiao's decree to allow trade between inside and outside the pass, and reaching a peace agreement with the Tartars, there are more caravans leaving the pass this year than in previous years.

At this time, the king of Liaodong Jinglue also came to the outside of Shanhaiguan in Jin Dynasty, and set up a banquet at the ten-mile long pavilion.

Naturally, what Wang Zaijin wanted to send was Liu Zongzhou, who was going to be an envoy to the Tartars and was stationed in the place where the Tartars were located, and Liu Zongzhou, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty, and Shi Kefa, who was appointed as the deputy envoy with the rank of Hukege Shizhong.

Although these two people are not liked by Zhu Youxiao, they are very prestigious people in the hearts of many officials. In the eyes of these officials, these two talents are a model for officials in Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zaijin, one of the five great frontier officials in the world, had to take time to entertain him.

"I urge you to drink one more glass of wine, and go west to Yangguan without any old friends. Although we, Daming and the Tatars, have reached a settlement, everyone in the world knows that this is just a plan to delay the army. I am afraid that the two of you will go away."

After Wang Zaijin recited Wang Wei's "Send Yuan Er Envoy Anxi", he personally poured wine for Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa.

Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa also had bitter expressions on their faces and said nothing, because Wang Zaijin had a higher official position than them, so they saluted Wang Zaijin, then raised their wine glasses and swallowed a glass of strong wine into their mouths.

Liu Zongzhou sighed directly: "Oh, I dare not hide anything from Wang Jinglue. The lower officials naturally know that it will be difficult to return to their homeland after leaving the customs. I can only hate being plotted by the villain. This breath has never been shaken."

Hearing what Liu Zongzhou said, Shi Kefa looked at Liu Zongzhou with tears in his eyes. If Liu Zongzhou was plotted against by a villain, then he was appointed as the deputy envoy by His Majesty without knowing what happened.

Wang Zaijin saw that the two were depressed, so he couldn't say anything more, and there was an accompanying Jin Yiwei standing beside him, so it was hard for anyone to say anything about His Majesty.

Therefore, Wang Zaijin could only persuade him with good words: "You two don't have to be so pessimistic. As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. Whether it is the plot of a villain or your majesty's intention, the two of you should be loyal to my Ming Dynasty when you leave the customs. Conscientious, now more and more businessmen of my Ming Dynasty are going out of customs, and some criminals take advantage of the opportunity to steal or do other things that are not good for Ming Dynasty. I believe His Majesty will not ignore the two of you."

Since Wang Zaijin persuaded them so much, Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa had no choice but to say bold words, and reluctantly kowtowed in the direction of the Forbidden City in the north before exiting the pass in a low mood.

As soon as he left Shanhaiguan, he entered Wu Xiang, which is now the territory of King Liao.

Now Wu Xiang doesn't dare to provoke Daming. After all, his Guanning army is no better than the Tartars. In the past, he had to rely on the food and salaries of the Ming court to support his combat effectiveness. Now that he is independent, life is naturally sad, and many soldiers have already returned. The role of farmers, and other soldiers who are still eating food are not as daring as before, because now even if they kill a few tartars, they will no longer be rewarded.

And they didn't dare to enter the customs directly to plunder like the Tatars. The man who was in charge of guarding Shanhaiguan was almost put together by Wu Xiang's department.

In this way, Wu Xiang's department could only bow down to Daming, and he even wanted to return to the days when he was only the commander-in-chief in Daming. Although he didn't sound as good as the current Liao king, at least he still had money every month. Greedy, now it's his turn to be the master of the house, and he can only drink the northwest wind.

Therefore, when Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa entered the territory of Wuxiang, the Guan Ning army of Wuxiang's department did not dare to make things difficult, and even his son Wu Sangui personally went out of Jinzhou City to host a banquet for Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa.

"The two gentlemen have come from afar, and Xiao Wang prepares a little wine to treat each other. Please don't dislike them." Wu Sangui saluted the two with the attitude of a courteous corporal.

Although Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa were stubborn, they were not stupid. They knew the origin of this Liao prince who was appointed by His Majesty, and also understood His Majesty's attitude towards this person in front of him.

So the two of them didn't have much enthusiasm, they bowed their hands to Wu Sangui indifferently, and walked away.

Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui had such an attitude, even though they were gnashing their teeth with hatred, they had no choice but to run forward immediately and stop Liu Zongzong and Shi Kefa: "Two gentlemen, please stay. My nephew knows that he is a martial artist who is not worthy of a high position, and he is not worthy to be on the two sides. In front of the gentleman, he poured wine from the jug, but my nephew really has an important request for the two gentlemen, I hope the two gentlemen will help my nephew because we are both ministers of Ming Dynasty."

As Wu Sangui said, he winked to the left and right, and immediately two rows of people appeared in front of and behind the road.

Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa were both shocked when they saw this. Liu Zongzhou didn't call His Royal Highness Wu Sangui, but called him by his name, and asked, "Wu Sangui, what do you mean! Could it be that you want to kidnap us? In addition, I remind you Just say it, Your Majesty has already made a decree that you are no longer my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you are just foreign vassals, so if you dare to show disrespect to my ministers of the previous court, don’t blame me for being rude in the future!"

Wu Sangui didn't answer Liu Zongzhou's words immediately, but directly shouted: "Bring it up!" Immediately afterwards, two boxes of silver coins shimmering with silver light were lifted up.

"My nephew has no intention of kidnapping the two gentlemen. Now the Tartars are attacking me very fiercely in the Daling River area. My nephew just wants to ask the two gentlemen to go to the Tartars to intercede for us. My father can offer Out of the land of Daling River, but I would like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to reach a peace agreement with us. In addition, I would like to invite the two gentlemen to write a letter to Liaodong Jinglue Wang Dushi, hoping that Wang Dushi can also reopen trade with us. After all, we are closer than Tartars, and these two boxes of silver are a thank you gift to the two gentlemen."

Liu Zongzhou finally understood what Wu Sangui meant, and he dared to let himself and Shi Kefa act as middlemen to persuade the Tartars and Wu Xiang's troops to make peace.

"Yes", Liu Zongzhou agreed to Wu Sangui's request, and left Jinzhou City smoothly.

As soon as he left Jinzhou City, Shi Kefa couldn't help pulling Liu Zongzhou back and asked: "Liu Zhengshi, I dare to ask, why did you accept the money from this rebellious minister and thief, and promised him to make peace with the Tartars? If His Majesty finds out, I don’t want to chop off your and my heads, I’m afraid these Jinyiwei are already preparing to send a message to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to rule.”

Liu Zongzhou couldn't help laughing and said: "If I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Jinzhou City. The countless ghosts in Yongping area are still there. Don't he think that we have forgotten this matter."

As Liu Zongzhou was speaking, he saw a group of cavalry running up ahead. Looking at the money rat tail on the back of his head, he knew it was a Tartar, and the leader was Boluo, the son of the Tartar Bele Abate.

Although the executioner who later single-handedly created the Jiangyin massacre looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old at this time, he already looked a bit domineering. When he came to Liu Zongzhou and others, he did not dismount, and pointed at Liu Zongzhou with his whip and asked: " You are the Ming dogs who came to my Qing Dynasty as envoys?"

"No, I'm here to discipline His Majesty the Ming Emperor's disobedient son, and of course his servants who don't understand the rules."
