Dajin royal family

Chapter 627 The World Is Unified (One)

Luoyang.

This was Jiang Chengxiao's first contact with Nan Chen's emissary, whose name was Shen Xing.He had some impression of this person. Not long ago, it was this person who hoped to form an alliance with Nanliang, but because of Chen Qiujin's relationship, he went bankrupt.

Shen Xing is not very old, but the exhaustion and grayness on his face make him look much older than his peers.

While Jiang Chengxiao was looking at Shen Xing, Shen Xing was also looking at Jiang Chengxiao.

It is no different from what other people have said. This King Zhao of the Northern Jin Dynasty who hanged the princes of all walks of life in the world is really young.People who were officials in the Northern Jin Dynasty were happy. Such a young and talented king was the king that good officials yearned for.

But as an enemy of the Northern Jin Dynasty, Shen Xing only felt that everything from the Tianling cover to the soles of his feet was icy cold.Emperor Gaozu Wu of the Northern Jin Dynasty was nearly forty years old when he ruled the world, but this King Zhao has not yet reached his thirties.

Such a young man, what can he use to fight Bei Jin?
Even if it can be delayed for a while this time, I am afraid it will not be delayed for a lifetime.

Even if it was boiled, Chen Guo and Liang Guo could not survive the Northern Jin Dynasty.

"The foreign minister, Shen Xing, has met His Royal Highness King Zhao."

"Excuse me." Jiang Chengxiao said, "What is the reason for the envoy's coming here?"

Shen Xing rolled his eyes in his heart, and asked the question knowingly.

"Returning to Your Highness, I sent my ministers to His Majesty for the purpose of forming a good relationship between the two countries, governing the people together, and restoring peace to the world."

Shen Xing talked a lot, the core idea is that we can't beat you in the Northern Jin Dynasty, if you want to reconcile, you can be a minister or get married, as long as you don't cross the river, we can discuss everything.

"The envoy can tell that the world has been in chaos for a long time, and the people need to recuperate. The land of Wuyue will be restored as soon as possible, and the world will be one family, which is the real peace." Jiang Chengxiao said.

Shen Xing said: "Your Highness does not know, under my rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment, rich and prosperous. If there is a war, it will be the people who will be injured. I implore Your Highness to be considerate of the people of the world and stop fighting for peace."

In fact, Shen Xing didn't even have the confidence that Jiang Chengxiao could agree to what he said, and he himself thought it was too ridiculous.

I just hope that Jiang Chengxiao doesn't humiliate him.

"Hehe." Jiang Chengxiao shook his head with a smile, "Shen Xing, Shen Xing, Nanchen Yuxie was resurrected from the dead and made waves in the land of Wuyue. Now you tell Gu that if you want to stop the army and negotiate a peace, how will you let Gu explain to the Queen Mother? , How to explain to the ancestors of the Jin Dynasty, how to explain to the people of the world."

"In the past, the first emperor was in power, and he repeatedly reduced taxes in the southern counties, dug the North-South Grand Canal, and strengthened the exchange of goods, making the people in the south more prosperous. Once the Southern Chen Remnants rebelled, the first emperor's painstaking efforts destroyed it once. Now you tell Gu, Let Gu admit that Nanchen is divided, and abandon the ancestors and the country, how can Gu Gu agree?"

Back then, Emperor Li had a completely different attitude towards the southern counties than the northern counties.The people who dug the Grand Canal were recruited from Shandong, Hebei, and even Guanzhong, and the logistics people who conquered Goguryeo were still recruited from Shandong and other places.

Sweeping wool is not like this, and a few fixed ones are bald.

Faced with Jiang Chengxiao's questioning, Shen Xing had expected it.

"Is Your Highness determined to start the war?"

Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly, and said: "It's not that Gu wants to start a war, but you are persecuting Gu."

"Huh?" Shen Xing asked puzzled, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

Are we persecuting you?
Can you show some face, your army is going south and is about to approach the river, how can you have the face to say such a thing.

"There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the land. In this world, do you belong to the Jin family or your Nan Chen?" Jiang Chengxiao's eyes sharpened suddenly, "I have ruled the world for a long time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The world is in chaos, and the people are suffering. It is not impossible for me to stop the army, but you have to agree to a few conditions."

What Jiang Chengxiao said earlier made Shen Xingxin raise his throat, and he almost subconsciously confirmed that Jiang Chengxiao's idea of ​​attacking Nan Chen had been decided.But the turn of events in the second half of the sentence made Shen Xing feel hopeful again.

Is it possible for the Northern Jin Dynasty to agree to a peace negotiation?
"Your Highness, please elaborate." He said seriously.

It was unexpected that Jiang Chengxiao would let go. If he could seize the opportunity, maybe Chen Guo could really survive.

"First, get rid of the title of emperor, proclaim yourself a vassal to the north, and pay tribute every year."

Shen Xing thought for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded.

This condition is still within the allowable range and acceptable.

"Secondly, the land of Nanchen belongs to our dynasty to the north of the great river."

"This..." Shen Xing wondered: "Your Highness, I have several counties to the north of the river, how can I do that?"

He really wants to say that you are greedy!
But he dared not.

"You don't agree?" Jiang Chengxiao condescended, his voice thickened.

Shen Xing thought of Chen Qiujin's words, and sighed inwardly.

As long as Jiang Chengxiao is willing to strike down and negotiate a peace, is Chen Guo willing to pay any price?

"The minister agrees."

If he didn't agree, Chen Qiujin might not know how to punish himself under Sima Fa's slander after returning to China.

If possible, he really didn't want to go back, but before leaving, that traitor Sima Fa pretended to send someone to protect his family, but in fact he was threatening him.

The corner of Jiang Chengxiao's mouth twitched, and he followed up: "Thirdly, Liang Guo and the rebel Yu Wenshu conspired to cause cholera in the world. The crime deserves to be punished. Nan Chen is alone to send troops to assist our dynasty in attacking Liang Guo."

At this point, Shen Xing seemed to understand why Jiang Chengxiao agreed to strike with Chen Guo.He wanted to deal with Liang Guo first, and then deal with Chen Guo.

This is almost a conspiracy!

But what if he guessed it.Can Chen Qiujin listen?

I'm afraid Chen Qiujin will be rejoiced when the news that the Northern Jin Dynasty is willing to negotiate a peace is heard.

"Yes." Shen Xing said bitterly.

They will send Liang Guo to die with their own hands. After killing Liang Guo, Chen Guo will be in the future.

In other words, Chen Guo was killing his only hope of survival and was digging his own grave.

After the three demands, Jiang Chengxiao asked Chen Guo to compensate him for food, gold and silver.

Not surprisingly, Shen Xing agreed one by one.

So what if he doesn't agree, Chen Qiujin asked him to negotiate peace, not to fight.If Chen Qiujin knew that he had messed up the matter when the Northern Jin Dynasty was willing to negotiate a peace, I am afraid that the Shen residence would be slaughtered.

I can't help myself!
Seeing Shen Xing leaving in a daze, Jiang Chengxiao's expression didn't tense and he showed a smile.

Judging from the news from Shier, Chen Qiujin was basically the same as the previous generation of 'Empress Chen'.

Every corner of Pian'an praised him, and Chen Qiujin passed out drunk in the harem.Now the people's livelihood in Nanchen is in decline, corruption and bribery are rampant, the people are oppressed by the rich and powerful, and the trend of land annexation is becoming more and more serious.The leading generals who stick to various places are even more self-contained, doing their own things, cholera places.

In general, Chen Guo has rotted to the root due to Chen Qiujin's inaction.

Sometimes Jiang Chengxiao was also surprised that Chen Qiujin was a hero who dared to raise troops to restore the country after all, how could he degenerate like this in less than a few years.

Compared with his uncle Xiao Tong, Chen Qiujin is really far behind.

But this is a good thing for him, if there is no Chen Qiujin to take care of things in the southeast, he will have to work hard to unify the world.

Chen Qiujin is one of our own!
"Do you have doubts?" Jiang Chengxiao looked at Nan Jiyun, who had a puzzled look on his face.

Nan Jiyun nodded, "My subordinates don't understand why they agreed to Nan Chen's peace proposal, and to unify the world as soon as possible, wouldn't they be able to return the people to a peaceful life sooner?"

Although he knew that the lord's agreement to Chen Guo's peace was just a tactic to slow down the army, and when Liang Guo was eliminated, it would be Chen Guo's turn.But he believed even more that Yu Chijing and Pei Yuanyan could also defeat Chen Guo, so there was no need to waste time.

"A stable life?" Jiang Chengxiao sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, "The late emperor gave the people in the south too much a stable life, so stable that they wanted to support the remnants of Xiao Liang and Nan Chen to restore the country. My Jin Dynasty treats the southern people Profound, but they didn't take it to heart at all, once the rebels rose up and Yunqi responded, is it worthy of the kindness of the late emperor?"

"This time, I just want the southerners to see clearly that only my Jinshi regards them as brothers and sisters."

At the same time, he added in his heart that he wanted the southern gentry to look good!
You like to play splitting, right? This time, I will follow your wishes and let you end together with the troubled times!
He temporarily let Chen Guo go, not all because he wanted to concentrate on dealing with Liang Guo.In fact, Li Yaoshi alone was enough to solve Liang Guo, but he kept Chen Guo to let the people in the south of the Yangtze River see what kind of monarch the remnants of Chen Guo were, and to make the nobles in the south completely disappointed with the remnants of Chen Guo.

Emperor Wu was too impatient back then. He should have taken advantage of the opportunity of the war to completely weaken the gentry in the south so that they would no longer have the power to stir up the wind and rain, so as to bring peace to the south.

The north and the south have been divided for a hundred years, and it is indeed difficult to bridge the relationship overnight, but he wants to push his hand so that the people can see clearly the face of Chen Guo's remnants.

To highlight one person's goodness must highlight another person's evil!

Only by comparison can there be harm!
