Chapter 314: Determining the Central Plains Talks (3)
"As the saying goes, literati are despised by each other, and they never thought that military strategists also despise each other. Keming, look at this secret report." Meng Yan said with a smile in the carriage.
Fang Keming looked at it carefully and smiled: "Your Majesty, General Chen Yu has always been a staff officer. Our Daxuan is the last general in the army, so it is normal to be angry. Huo Hou's letter is probably the attitude of the generals of the entire military. Now.”
"Yu Laohu led the Shutai. This military general naturally took the honor of fighting on the battlefield. Forget it, I don't bother to pay attention. How was the official meeting between Duke Qi?" Meng Yan thought that he would have to rectify after returning to Hanyang.
"The Duke of Qi has been temporarily put on hold because of the meeting between His Majesty and Emperor Ning, but both sides have met once. General Yanque should have arrived in Yingzhou for defense work now. As for the others, the Husband seems to have had affair with Ning Jun Teng Han. There were some verbal conflicts, but the Duke of Qi reported this as a joke."
"Hahaha! Yu Laohu just wants to suppress people everywhere. When I and Xiao Yu were ministers in the same palace, the generals between the two sides said that Yu Laohu couldn't get along with them. I didn't expect that it has been like this for many years."
"The tiger coach is honest and straightforward, but I think it is nothing wrong. I, Daxuan, is the representative of the people of the world, and is also an independent kingdom. I am not a vassal of anyone. In this way, I can gain the opportunity in momentum and meet with Emperor Ning for Your Majesty and Emperor Ning. Get a game first.”
"Kimming! You still talk well. You never speak silly. I am not used to speaking like this."
Fang Keming smiled awkwardly and said, "Huaiying often says that I often offend people, and I also learn to get along with others. It seems that it is not suitable now."
"Huaiying is a fox, you are not. It's good to keep it the same. By the way, you write a letter to Xuan Song and tell him not to be so nervous, and it seems like he is going to start a war immediately!"
"Abide by the order!" Fang Keming also replied with a smile, but then Fang Keming suddenly became reluctant to speak and finally held back.
Meng Yan saw that Fang Keming had something to say, but Fang Keming didn't take the initiative to mention him, and he was too lazy to care.
"Keming! Let's stay in Shenqiu tonight. It's not too late to enter Yingzhou again tomorrow. After you go down, you will talk to Shen Jue to meet our itinerary again."
"Yes, then your Majesty will take a break first."
Meng Yan and his party went smoothly, but Xiao Yu seemed to be panicked. He was sure that Meng Yan would not come here, so he was not ready to deal with it. Now Meng Yan has approached Yingzhou, and the entire Daning is almost unprepared. Yu Geng attacked Teng Han because of this.
"Chu Cheng, what is the result of your discussion?! Meng Yan will arrive in Yingzhou tomorrow!" Xiao Yu asked impatiently.
"Your Majesty, Meng Yan could have arrived in Yingzhou today, but I don't know why he wanted to stay in Shenqiu." Chen Zhuo asked carefully.
"Hmph! Chen Qiu, his mother is buried in Shen Qiu!" Although Xiao Yu answered very indignantly, he knew in his heart that Meng Yan deliberately gave him time to prepare and did not want him to be too embarrassed in the world.
"Meng Yan wants to pay tribute to his mother? Chen Xiang, you immediately notify Changsun to accompany him. This is our due etiquette. Remember not to talk about state affairs!" Chu Cheng immediately reacted to the key issues.
Xiao Yu frowned and asked, "Cao Chu, why is this?"
Chu Cheng found that he was rude this time, so he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is good at it. Changsun is Meng Yan's mother clan. If our court informs them that Changsun will arrive soon to pay tribute to each other, it means that our court will
The second attitude is to buy us time to deal with Meng Yan’s sudden arrival.”
Xiao Yu just thought for a moment and said, "Chu Xiang's words are reasonable. We are not slim people. Let the King of Wu accompany him to worship."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xiao Yu didn't have the intention to enjoy flattery at this moment, but said, "Even if Meng Yan has been held back for three or five days, what decent method can you come up with?!"
Chu Cheng was stunned. This question asked him about his difficulties. Chu Cheng followed Xiao Yu and racked his brains all the way, but he didn't expect a better way to deal with it. Meng Yan's decision to meet had already caused them a headache. Next, Meng Yan
It is indeed unpredictable how to talk to them. The best and most helpless way is to deal with it according to the move, but this will definitely cause Xiao Yu to be criticized.
After thinking for a long time, Chu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Meng Yan can join our court in the name of talks!"
Xiao Yu was stunned, staring at Chu Cheng with an incredible expression, and then smiled. This smile was a naive smile to Chu Cheng.
"Chu Cheng, are you so stupid that Meng Yan surrendered? Humph! He was not as good as our dynasty before the war. Now he has occupied most of the area south of the Yangtze River. If you want him to surrender, you are crazy.
Or is he crazy?!"
"Your Majesty, after the rule of Quan, Chen Kingdom was regarded as the official. You and Meng Yan were both ministers in Chen Kingdom. The founder of Chen Kingdom was Your Majesty's uncle, so Your Majesty is the orthodox. As for Meng Kingdom,
Yan is just an old minister of Chen State, so the theory of surrender should be mentioned again." Chu Cheng almost plucked up his courage.
Xiao Yu looked at Chu Cheng deeply, and it took a while before he spoke, "Chu Cheng! You can get rid of such things like Chenzhizi, but it is really a good negotiation topic. OK, you guys
Let’s go down and study, how to carry out, don’t blame me for not reminding you that the Meng family, that is, Meng Gong, who you call half-teacher, was walking in front of me, Xiao family.”
Meng Yan does intend to give Xiao Yu time and opportunity. Meng Yan believes that it is fair to fight openly and deal with moves when they are done. Of course, it is indeed necessary to pay tribute to his mother.
"Your Majesty, Jinling sent Xiao Yu's second son, King Lu and Changsun, to accompany him. How should we receive him?" Fang Keming had to take into account the arrangements of the entire team and also contact Gu Yanfeng and Yu Geng from Yingzhou.
Yan Que was also responsible for the security tasks of the entire negotiation in Yingzhou, so the task of accompanying him naturally fell on Shen Jue.
"Changsun is my mother's family, and it's enough to receive it normally. As for King Lu, he is the prince of the Daning Dynasty. It's just a ritual to accompany me to pay tribute. It's just a ritual to receive it according to the etiquette of our dynasty. Remember, in Shenqiu, we are the only one who can do it.
It's the master!"
"Abide by the order!" Shen Jue was somewhat nervous. After being taken away by King Yong of Yeling City, he had been living on the grassland with Di Xin and others. Then he was suddenly transferred to the deputy general manager during the war. The leapfrog upgrade made him feel that he had
He was at a loss. He was always transparent in the General Administration. Now he was appointed as a entourage by His Majesty. He was flattered and could no longer describe his mood.
"Shen Jue, who is Changsun?" Meng Yan saw Shen Yu's nervousness.
"Report to Your Majesty, according to the report, it is Changsun Yu, the young master of Changsun clan, who came over. The report said that Changsun clan's head Changsun Ji is already terminally ill." Chen Jue replied cautiously, his nervousness has not been relieved.
Meng Yan was quite surprised. He learned through the Ministry of State Security that Changsun Ji was in poor health, but he never expected that it would be the time when the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry.
"When will Changsun Yu arrive?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Young Master Changsun will arrive in Chenqiu tonight, but it is unknown whether he will wait outside Shenqiu for the King of Wu in Daning."
Meng Yan thought for a while and said, "You send someone to wait outside the city. If Changsun Yu arrives and invites him into the city, if he insists on waiting, he will say that I should pay tribute to my mother, as a relative, and whether it is a state affairs during the tribute, Talk about family affairs.”
Sure enough, Chen Jue waited for Changsun Yu outside the city. Changsun Yu really entered Meng Yan as expected and hesitated to enter the city early, but it was indeed because of Meng Yan's words that Changsun Yu gave up and insisted on entering the city directly.
"Foreign minister Changsun Yu has seen His Majesty Emperor Daxuan!" Changsun Yu was a little stiff, but he hadn't seen him for several years. He found that Meng Yan had grown a lot older, but his expression was still as tough as ever, and his demeanor became more majestic and domineering as he walked. .
"I said that in Shenqiu, the Changsun family, regardless of state affairs, only talks about family affection. You should call my cousin."
Changsun Yu hesitated for a moment and bowed, "My nephew has met his cousin!"
Meng Yan smiled slightly and said, "Yu'er, come with me to pay tribute to my mother tomorrow. I have never paid tribute to me for so many years. I feel a little nervous."
"Uh, aren't you waiting for the King of Wu?"
Meng Yan shook his head and said, "No more wait. The memorial service is a family matter. The King of Lu came here just a ritual. It has nothing to do with whether he went or not."
"Cousin, my father often repaired his tomb, and the four festivals of sacrifices have never been missed. My father missed my aunt a few days ago..." Suddenly, Changsun Yu's voice calmed down and he whispered: "My father misses Qingqing very much. ”
"Qingqing is not suitable for accompanying you this time. In the future, when the Central Plains is in peace, I will bring her here to pay tribute to her grandmother." Meng Yan said with a dim expression. Perhaps because she is old, Meng Yan has a affection for her family. It feels more and more precious.
The speaker was unintentionally the listener was intentional. Changsun Yu was stunned, his eyes rolled quickly, and his desire to speak but stopped made Meng Yan feel that he might be in danger.
"There are only you, my uncle and nephew here. Just say anything you want to say bluntly."
Changsun Yu hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth: "Uncle, it was also very surprising that he could come here to pay tribute to his grandparents and parents. But his father was not sick for a long time and hated that he could not come. His father asked his nephew to ask his uncle, Xuan, Would you really want to fight?"
"War? I don't want to fight, but Xiao Yu really wants to do it. I am not the patriarch now, but the king of a country. Do you understand?"
"My nephew understands it, it's exactly the same as my father's expectations. My father has another question to ask my uncle to solve his doubts?" Changsun Yu saw that Meng Yan was not angry, so he pretended to be brave enough to ask.
"Your father doesn't want to be involved in the civil war, right?"
"Yes, my father asked if His Majesty was willing to be peaceful, would you give up for the welfare of the people of the world?"
"This is a question. You shouldn't come to ask me. You should ask your Majesty. He is willing to seek welfare for the people of the Central Plains and stop war."
Changsun Yu was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"You don't have to think so much. Just pass my words back to your father. Daxuan is not a warlike country, but he is not afraid of fighting."
The second day of the memorial service was indeed not waiting for King Wu. When Xiao Mu came over, Meng Yan and his group had already completed the memorial service.
Xiao Mu didn't feel embarrassed either. He even thought Meng Yan was quite famous. He thought it would be more like a political incident if Meng Yan waited for him.
"My nephew Xiao Mu has met his uncle!" Xiao Mu met him with a straightforward and neat visit.
Meng Yan was very surprised. Xiao Mu was a little interesting and said with a smile: "Your Highness of the King of Wu, you are polite! The memorial service is my family matter, so I will not disturb the King of Wu."
"What's the matter with my father? You and my father are sworn brothers. It's my juniors who should give incense sticks to the old lady. But I never thought that my uncle had already paid tribute to him."
"Hehe, the King of Wu is polite. I will set off for Yingzhou the next day," Meng Yan didn't want to say too much to him.
