Chapter 45: Such a monarch and minister

Pei Ju took a break from the palace and then rested in the envoy's inn.

In the house, Pei Ju was carrying a pen to write a book, and from time to time, he finally got his job done. Pei Ju found a messenger under his command and asked him to send him to the Ming Dynasty for 800 miles in a hurry.

The messenger had just left the city with the letter, and was surrounded by a battalion of Youzhou soldiers.

The messenger said, "Who are you waiting for? I am the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, how dare I surround me?"

The leader of the soldiers was a big man. The big man waved his hand and said, "Capture it!"

The group hurriedly captured the messenger.

After finding the letter from the messenger's arms, he tortured the messenger and confirmed that the messenger did not pass the message privately, he sent several light cavalry to accompany the messenger to deliver the message together.

Youzhou City, Dayan Palace,

A middle-aged man dressed in an eunuch walked to Hong Zaixing and saluted Hong Zaixing and said, "Your Majesty, we have not noticed that Ming Envoy has any lies. The letter he wrote to Ming Emperor is here. Please read it!"

The middle-aged man respectfully handed out the letter on his hand, and Hong Zaixing picked it up and looked it through.

"I didn't expect that Liang Yong was really ambition. The mere Liang Kingdom wanted to provoke the war between my Dayan and Nanming, and wanted to reap the fisherman?" Hong Zaixing looked playful.

At this time, Hong Zaixing's anger had indeed been eliminated. He had a preconceived idea and still had no doubt about what Pei Ju said. Of course, this time he captured the messenger and wanted to confirm it.

Even Hong Zaixing thought it through clearly that there was nothing practical on Daliang's surrender. If he really wanted to surrender and directly let Yan army enter Nanjing, wouldn't it be more sincere!

At this time, Hong Zaixing thought that he was just blinded by Liang Yong's humble words and the achievements of the whole country's surrender.

Suddenly, Hong Zaixing thought of something again and said to the eunuch beside him: "A few days ago, the military information from Li Anguo was reported. It was not that he was trapped in Dingcheng by the Northern Expedition Army of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was simply useless! However, after the alliance with the Ming Dynasty, he did not need to attack the Ming Dynasty for the time being, so he sent him to attack the Liang Kingdom."

...

The letters of eight hundred miles were quickly accelerated. A few days later, Pei Ju's letters were spread to the Ming Dynasty.

Jiangling, the Ming Dynasty Palace.

At this time, the Ming Emperor Han Tingzhi was reading Pei Ju's letter, and he was surrounded by a man dressed in a literati.

"Hahaha! Ruoxu! Look at this letter!" Han Tingyi laughed and handed the letter in his hand to the scholar beside him.

The literati was named Jiang Ruoxu, who was considered Han Tingzhi's planner. Han Tingzhi once called him "The Lone Son!" and is now the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Ruoxu took the letter and opened it and saw it read:

"Report to our emperor, the foreign envoy Pei Ju was appointed as the emperor's order. I went to Yan State to be sent to Yan State. While carefully exploring Daliang, I would like to offer surrender to Yan State. At the same time, I discussed with the Emperor of Yan's attack on Liang State. The matter was not as expected by Your Majesty!

The Liang State first offered surrender to our Ming Dynasty, saying that it was to send troops to Youzhou to show sincerity, and at the same time it asked our country to send troops. However, then he offered surrender to our country to send troops to Yan State, saying that he was willing to send troops to our Ming Dynasty, and at the same time asked Yan State to send troops to two countries, which has never been seen in ancient times!

The Weishi was a little angry. Liang's bad intentions were ambitions and attempted to surrender with two letters, which led to the weapons of our Ming Dynasty and Yan State! Liang State must have wanted to reap the fisherman. Fortunately, Your Majesty was very clear about his thoughts and insight into the ambitions of Liang State, and sent Weishi to serve as an envoy to Yan State!

I have informed Yan State so that it can know the plan of Liang State, and at the same time, I have made an alliance with Emperor Yan to attack Liang State. However, I dare not make any decisions on military and national affairs, so I will write this letter to tell Your Majesty! I hope Your Majesty will be the master!

The foreign envoy Pei Ju will come back to you.”

Jiang Ruoxu laughed out loud when he saw it. He was the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. He knew that the Liang Kingdom had not sent a mission to the Ming Dynasty at all, and he did not offer any contributions to the two countries.

"Brother Pei Ju is indeed the Allied League. He will be the only one who will be on a mission to relieve the crisis of our Ming Dynasty."

Han Tingzhi also smiled: "Pei Ju's mouth has disintegrated the barbarian rebellion for thousands of years!"

Han Tingzhi said that when Pei Ju went on a mission to the barbarians, he divided the barbarians with a clever word. Now the barbarians are divided into Shan barbarians and Jiang barbarians, which are hostile to each other.

Han Tingzhi sent people to win over these two tribes, and immediately solved the barbarian problem that had been around for hundreds of years.

At this time, Jiang Ruoxu bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, does Liang Yong really want to surrender?"

Han Tingzhi thought that Liang Yong wanted to attack him with Yan State, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then said, "Although Liang Yong is a man with great ambitions and talent, he is willing to make plans without making decisions! He is not willing to be a person who is inferior. But he doesn't know why he surrenders!"

After a while of contemplation, Jiang Ruoxu said, "Your Majesty is very true. I think Liang Yongxian surrenders to himself, and he is to delay the military strategy and seek hegemony again, and he is to leave a way out!"

Han Tingzhi became interested. He had always known the strategy of his subordinates. He knew that Jiang Ruoxu must have something to say, so he said, "Ruoxu, come on!"

Jiang Ruoxu bowed and said, "The Liang State has my Ming neighbor in the south, which is a very miserable situation. After the northern border is unified, Yan State even wants to march south. Our Ming Dynasty is strong and powerful, with hundreds of thousands of armored men. The military and civilians of the Liang State are weak and the monarch is incompetent. Yan State must first attack Liang State. This is the purpose of Daliang surrendering to protect itself and prevent Yan State from launching troops to attack!

At the same time, in order to show sincerity, the Liang State invited Yan State to raise troops to our Ming Dynasty. The Yan Army came to the south and was rootless. How can it be compared with the Liang Army? Liang State can seize the fortress of our Ming Dynasty with this opportunity. Even if he does not admit defeat, he can still compete with Yan State!

For these three things, if Liang State is still unable to compete with Yan State, this demotion can make Liang Yong rich and prosperous!"

It has to be said that Jiang Ruorururan is a master of strategy and guessed everything Liang Yong thought in his heart in a short time.

When Han Tingzhi heard Jiang Ruoxu's analysis, he nodded from time to time. The more he listened, the more he felt reasonable. Han Tingzhi even put himself in Liang Yong's position, and understood that this was the best strategy he could think of, and Liang Yong was a good strategy!

But Han Tingzhi would not admire Liang Yong, and snorted coldly: "By offering surrender, we can protect ourselves, and relying on marriage, and pursuing ministers to survive? If I were Liang Yong, even if I were killed in the battle, I would not be willing to endure humiliation and live a life without enduring humiliation!"

Hearing what Han Tingzhi said, Jiang Ruoxu looked at his Majesty with admiration. This admiration was real and there was no falsehood.

Han Tingzhi was born in Pinghan. When he was a child, he made a living by herding cattle. Later, he joined the White Lotus Sect and relied on his charity and loyalty to the position of the White Lotus Sect leader.

Since then, Han Tingzhi has fully demonstrated his decisiveness and leadership temperament. It is not without reason that his subordinates can gather Lu Xiaoxian, Jiang Ruoxu, Pei Ju and others.
