Chapter 53: Cede territory for peace? Ning Fan gets angry

"Um?"

There was a hint of suspicion on Zhao Changying's face, and Zhao Yu slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhao Changying and said: "The Donghuai generals on this list are all our people. Please send someone to contact you. Ichiban!”

"you?"

"Jinyiwei!"

Mentioning the words "Jinyiwei", Zhao Yu's face showed a look of pride.

"What kind of organization is Jinyiwei?"

"Reporting to your lord, the Jin Yiwei is a newly established supervisory agency of our dynasty. It monitors all officials internally and spy on military intelligence externally. It can be executed first and reported later. It is authorized by the imperial power!"

"How can it be?"

Zhao Changying looked stunned. How could His Majesty allow such an organization to exist?

Although he was confused, Zhao Changying still opened the note handed to him by Zhao Yu. After some inspection, he said in surprise: "Are you sure these are all your people?"

"The general is willing to guarantee it with his head!"

"hiss!"

Zhao Changying took a deep breath, with a look of shock on his face, and asked again: "You just said that the Jinyiwei is a new organization established by His Majesty, but everyone on this list has the same position." High weight!”

"How did you Jin Yiwei instigate rebellion against them?"

"Sir, these people are not my Jinyiwei who instigated rebellion, but they have been members of my Jinyiwei from the beginning!"

Zhao Yu smiled faintly, but did not explain too much. Zhao Changying on the side looked at him deeply: "Your lord, Jin Yiwei, is King Xuan Yong?"

"Exactly!"

After receiving Zhao Yu's affirmation, Zhao Changying showed a deep thought on his face. It seems that things have changed in Beijing!

The army galloped all the way towards Huaining City, and the sky gradually darkened. I saw a scout coming on Pegasus and shouted: "Report!"

"The Donghuai army was discovered fifty miles northeast of Huaining City!"

"boom!"

Hearing that the news was confirmed, Zhao Changying trembled violently, and his clothes were instantly wet with cold sweat. He took a deep breath and asked calmly: "Has the news been passed on to Duke Ping and Duke Yue?"

"Reporting to your lord, the two princes have led their troops to surround the rear army in Donghuai!"

"good!"

Zhao Changying suddenly looked excited and said: "Pass it to my general, the army will march at full speed. Tonight, I will make dumplings for the main force of Donghuai!"

"As you command!"

…

Dayu.

In the palace.

Emperor Yu and all the civil and military officials all had sad faces. They drank one cup after another of tea, and the debate never stopped.

"Your Majesty, for the present plan, I'm afraid the only way is to negotiate peace with Donghuai!"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Donghuai to refuse to agree to this condition of giving up the two states on the eastern border of my great Yu!"

Zheng Xuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, thought for a while and then spoke in a deep voice.

"no!"

Ji Sui, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said coldly: "Since the founding of the country, have I ever ceded territory to other countries and asked for peace?"

"Now that the army has not been defeated, how can we beg for peace first?"

"Absolutely ridiculous?"

Emperor Yu looked at the civil and military arguments with a calm expression. Ji Sui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to immediately send reinforcements eastward. Once our reinforcements arrive, we can keep the main force of our army!"

"At that time, we only need to retake Huaining City and the crisis will be resolved!"

"Master Ji, now that I, Dayu, have no troops to move, is it possible to let the 100,000 recruits who have just been recruited for half a month go to the battlefield?"

"So what about the new army?" Ji Sui retorted: "Even if they are not as good as the veterans who have been killed for a long time, they are still a hundred thousand men who stand upright!"

Zheng Xuan, the official secretary, had a sneer on his face and said lightly: "It's just Lord Ji's wishful thinking!"

"My lord, please don't forget that the southwest direction must be guarded against!"

Zheng Xuan said while observing Emperor Yu's expression.

"enough!"

Emperor Yu gave a soft drink and glanced around, finally landing on Lin Qiushi: "How does Mr. Lin think this crisis should be resolved?"

"this……"

Lin Qiushi also had a look of embarrassment on his face. He hesitated and couldn't say a word for a long time!

"Your Majesty, King Xuan Yong wants to see you!"

"Um?"

"Let him come in!"

Emperor Yu sighed softly, rubbed his head tiredly, and saw Ning Fan striding out!

"My son, please see your father!"

"No gifts!"

Emperor Yu made a move with his empty hand, looked at Ning Fan and asked: "Hongxiu's moves are carefully executed, have you ever captured him?"

"Reporting to my father, I have already captured all the red sleeves!"

"Um!"

Emperor Yu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lin Qiushi with some sadness: "You all should step aside. We will discuss it again tomorrow morning. However, please don't mention the idea of ​​ceding territory to seek peace again!"

"yes……"

All the civil and military officials bowed silently and were about to leave when they heard Ning Fan's doubtful voice: "Father, why do you want to cede territory for peace?"

"To whom should I cede territory and seek peace?"

"Is it possible that Da Yan came to kill you?"

Hearing Ning Fan's question, Ji Sui glanced at Zheng Xuan coldly and said, "Your Highness, we are currently discussing the matter of the Eastern Territory. Master Zheng wants to set aside the two states of our Eastern Territory and seek peace with Donghuai? "

"puff!"

Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Suddenly, the civil and military ministers who were about to leave in the palace all turned their attention to Ning Fan.

"Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"

Zheng Xuan glared at Ji Sui fiercely and looked at Ning Fan with some displeasure.

"I just didn't expect that the words "ceding territory and seeking peace" would one day appear in my court, Dayu!"

"It comes from a second-rank official in the court!"

"Sir Zheng, if you give two states to Donghuai today to seek peace, and if Donghuai attacks again tomorrow, should you give two more states?"

Ning Fan's face was full of sarcasm, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "If one day, the emperor of Donghuai takes a fancy to your wife and daughter, Sir Zheng, should you also send them out to seek peace?"

"You!"

Zheng Xuan immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Ning Fan and daring to be angry but not to speak!

"How dare you!"

Emperor Yu shouted softly and glared at Ning Fan fiercely. This kid humiliated an important official of the court in front of a group of civil and military officials. It was really a bit too much!

"Haha!" Ning Fan, however, bowed to Zheng Xuan nonchalantly: "Master Zheng, please don't be angry, I was just making an analogy!"

"Puff!"

Ji Sui finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and the other ministers also tried hard to hold back their laughter. Zheng Xuan looked at Ning Fan with cold eyes, and said lightly: "Now that the eastern border of our dynasty is in danger, Your Highness is here to brag. Could it be that humiliating this old minister will make Dong Huai withdraw his troops?"

"Hahaha!"

Ning Fan couldn't help laughing, mercilessly He mocked, "So Lord Zheng also knows shame!"

"When you threatened to cede my two states of Dayu, did you feel any shame?"

"My two states of Dayu have hundreds of thousands of people, so Lord Zheng, just close your lips and give them to Donghuai!"

"But I asked you to offer your wife and daughter, and you got so angry that you felt ashamed!"

"It's really ridiculous!"

Seeing Ning Fan's ruthless and direct attack, the smiles on the faces of the civil and military officials gradually faded. Was this guy really angry?
