Wen Family Has a Wife

   Chapter 498 "Good News"

  Feng Ge old touched his forehead, his eyes flickering, "It's nothing, just too anxious, accidentally fell and hit."

  Xu Ge was so worried, "This is not a small matter. I will ask the imperial doctor to take a good look at the court later, otherwise it will be a big deal if it hurts my brain!"

  Feng Ge Lao didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, so he quickly stopped him.

After a while, Xiao Guangguang stepped into the Qianqing Palace, with a solemn expression on his face, as if an invisible barrier was erected all over his body, which was daunting. After he sat on the dragon chair and the civil and military officials saluted, he only greeted Eunuch Liu. Gave a look.

   Eunuch Liu stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Xuan, Sir Wen, the Mobei messenger is going to see you at Hajj."

  Wen Youcheng and Mobei messengers stepped into the hall one after the other. After salute, Xiao Guang said: "What's the situation in Mobei, tell me!"

The messenger clearly reported word by word: "Report to the emperor, Lord Jiang Chengxuan, an imperial envoy who was apprenticed to Tubo, was killed in Tubo. The king of Tubo quibbled that the death of Lord Jiang had nothing to do with Tubo, and said that Daqi deliberately framed it. The marshal and military advisor were furious and wanted to Send troops to Tubo. The weather is getting colder, the Huns are eyeing them, and Mobei is in urgent need of food, grass and troops."

After hearing this, the civil and military officials all looked at each other. Nine out of ten messengers from Mobei asked for food and horses. They had long been accustomed to it. What surprised them was this imperial envoy from Tubo. , they hadn't heard any rumors before, but now the imperial envoy died in Tubo, which is too unbelievable.

Xiao Guang also knew the doubts in everyone's heart, and said calmly: "At that time, I had just ascended the throne, and the court was in vain. In addition, there was a large shortage of officials, and personnel could not be dispatched. Besides, Beijing officials were always less familiar with Tubo than Mobei officials. , I thought that sending someone to negotiate and negotiate, there would be no major problems, so I did not discuss with you Aiqing clearly. Such a blatant provocation! Is it bearable or unbearable?"

"The emperor said it very well! How can my great country allow a small Tubo to be trampled on like this! If we don't fight back, the Tubo king will still treat me as weak and deceived, and start sending troops to us like the Huns!" Zhuo Ming Xuan out of the column, righteously echoed.

  Dai Yuyang stroked his beard and nodded slightly, "This minister also thinks so, if even the Tubos dare to send troops to Daqi, the iron hoofs of the Xiongnu will only be more unscrupulous, and then Mobei is in danger!"

   "Bang!" Xiao Guang patted the table again and said angrily: "They dare! As long as they dare to come, I will tell them to come and go!"

Feng Ge Lao, who was in shock, only reacted at this time, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I still don't know what the Tubo King means. Wouldn't it be too hasty? Besides, fighting is always indispensable. Casualties and damage to the people and money, if you can avoid fighting, it is better not to start a war."

   "I agree with this minister." Elder Xu Ge hurriedly said.

   Cong Li had a serious face and snorted, "No backbone!"

  Feng Xu and the two changed their faces, and finally gritted their teeth and did not fight back at this time.

The Minister of the Household stood out in tears, "Your Majesty, the treasury is tense, with floods in the south of the Yangtze River every year, and dragons in the southwest are constantly turning over. Bei is such a big consumption!"

  The emperor snorted in dissatisfaction, but he didn't talk about the treasury with the Minister of the Household. Regarding the settlement, they sat down and said that they couldn't finish it for three days and three nights. It was a waste of time.

  The Minister of the Ministry of Housing saw that the emperor did not answer, his face was completely wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he looked at the respected Du Shoufu for help.

Du Shoufu didn't have the intention to pay attention to him, his eyes kept falling on Wen Youcheng, he hesitantly said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Mobei can be discussed again, I don't know what good news Master Wen brought back from Lingnan. When the minister entered the palace, it seemed as if he could not see the end of the carriage when he saw the carriages that were so full."

  The emperor sneered and looked at Wen Youcheng, "Since Du Shoufu wants to hear the 'good news', you can tell me the good news of Lingnan!"

"Yes!" Wen Youcheng said with a stern face, "Your Majesty, when the minister entered Lingnan, he was disturbed by miasma poisoning his hands, and he was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the King of Lingnan sent someone to come to respond, which saved the minister a lot of trouble. A piece of good news."

   Xiao Guang nodded in cooperation.

  The civil and military officials are in a commotion, what kind of good news! Finish teasing them!

  Du Shoufu frowned slightly and said, "What else?"

  Wen Youcheng continued to reply: "In the Lingnan Palace, Chen Kun's second son, Chen Yangqiu, pleaded guilty, and the soldiers brought him back to the capital without blood. This is good news."

   This time, the courtier's face looks much better, and he has caught the remnants of the rebellion, which is indeed worth celebrating.

  Du Shoufu's intuition that Wen Youcheng hadn't mentioned the point, even Zhuo Mingxuan and Cong Li were watching him on the ground, waiting for the next paragraph.

Wen Youcheng paused for a while, and then said: "I met the King of Lingnan, had a calm talk with him, signed a peace agreement, and the King of Lingnan sent some things to Daqi according to the requirements of the agreement, and also Some things are being delivered later, which is good news.”

"Wait." Du Shoufu changed his face, chewed Wen Youcheng's words carefully, and asked with an ashen face: "Why did the King of Lingnan send some things to Daqi? Lingnan was originally from Daqi, didn't the King of Lingnan want to To rebel?"

   Wen Youcheng did not answer, but looked at the emperor.

  Xiao Guang said directly, "It's what I meant, I gave the boundaries of Fuzhou, Tingzhou, Qianzhou, Shaozhou, Hezhou, Xiangzhou, and the south of the Hongshui River to the King of Lingnan. From now on, Daqi and Lingnan have nothing to do with each other!"

   "What!" The civil and military officials were startled, panicked and at a loss. They didn't seem to understand why they were notified of such a big event until now. Even Du Shoufu shook and almost fainted.

   Dai Yuyang stepped forward to help him.

Du Shoufu was in tears, and he was almost jumping with grief, "Your Majesty! You are confused! No matter how bad Lingnan is, it is still the territory of Daqi, just like Mobei, it is inseparable, how can you surrender Lingnan like this? people?"

   Seeing how Du Shoufu was so unmoved, Xiao Guang asked calmly, "I ask you, what is the surname of the King of Lingnan? What is the relationship between me and the King of Lingnan and the previous emperor?"

Du Shoufu was stunned for a moment when he was asked, then he reacted, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, although you are the nephew of the late emperor, and the King of Lingnan is the brother of the late emperor, you all have the qualifications to inherit the great line, but now you are After ascending the throne, Daqi belongs to you, how can you hand over your own country to others, making the world laugh at you!"
