Dandere General and his Lord - Chapter 83
Lao Li stretched his arms from the gap between the railings and barely reached the corner of Zhang Fu’s clothes.
He dragged Zhang Fu over a little bit, pinched Zhang Fu’s mouth across the railing, and took two sips of water.
Water flowed out along the corners of Zhang Fu’s mouth, and he didn’t respond when he was unconscious.
Old Li shook his head and sighed, “Oh, another one is not good.”
In the evening, the jailer gave each room one by one.
After the jailer left,
Old Li grumbled out a branch hidden under the haystack. He squeezed between the two railings, tilted his head, stretched his arms vigorously, and pulled out the two white-faced buns in Zhang Fu’s bowl. All the way carefully rolled in front of him.
He happily grabbed the two buns, blew the ashes on them, put them in his arms, and sat down.
“This kind of bun may not be eaten for a few days.” He muttered, chewing slowly and eating a white bun.
Grabbing the second one, Lao Li looked back at Zhang Fu who was lying there, and then at the white steamed bun in his hand.
After thinking about it, he finally broke off a small piece, reached across the railing, and put it into Zhang Fu’s mouth.
“Eat, can you swallow it? If you can’t even eat the white bun, it will be of no help.” He looked at the bloodless “neighbor” and added in a low voice, “Aren’t you waiting for someone to catch it?” Are you? If you don’t eat, I’m afraid you won’t be able to wait.”
After a while, when Lao Li almost gave up hope, he planned to eat the leftover bun.
Zhang Fu’s lower jaw finally moved slowly, and after reluctantly chewing for a while, the Adam’s apple rolled hard and swallowed the food in his mouth.
Then the pale lips parted slightly.
Old Li sneered, then broke off another piece of bun and stuffed him in.
“You can eat it, life is really hard, you can’t die.”
…
Without saffron, she looked at the Han woman in front of her unhappily.
She frowned: “You don’t want to hurt me anymore. I’m afraid of you Han Chinese. All of them are cunning and cunning. That Zhang Fu is so tired that I was severely reprimanded by my sister, so I don’t dare to provoke me again. You Han Chinese.”
“Hurry up!” She waved her sleeves to chase people away, “As you are a woman, I don’t care about you.”
The Jin Kingdom princess who was sitting upright in front of her didn’t seem to have any temper at all, and she was still smiling.
She stretched out her plain hand and opened a small box in front of her.
Inside this inconspicuous box, sits alone an egg-sized pearl. The pearl was placed on a piece of black flannel, and Yingying gave birth to a soft brilliance, which brightened the entire palace room a bit.
Without saffron, I had never seen such a big and bright Ye Mingzhu. I was taken aback and raised his hand unconsciously.
Then she realized that she was a little gaffe, and hurriedly adjusted her expression, curling her lips awkwardly.
“How could I harm Your Highness?” the Jin princess said softly, “I came for peace between Dajin and Xirong. Your Highness helped me, and also helped Xirong’s hundreds of people. The empress dowager knows right from wrong, and she can only praise and thank you.”
The eyes without saffron rolled a few times on the Pearl that night, and his heart was slightly loose.
She no longer drove people directly, and asked: “You keep talking about peace talks, but your Jin country’s army has been attacking our Xirong town in succession these days. I don’t know what Ande is about?”
Cheng Qianye, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, did not speak hurriedly, and had a soft voice. There was a charm that made people slow down the hostility towards her without knowing it.
“If you and our country become a country of diplomatic relations, then the fighting will naturally end, isn’t it just that everyone is happy?” Cheng Qianye got up and took two steps, gently placing the box in front of the eyes without the saffron beads, crossed his hands. Had a ceremony for the younger generation.
Without the saffron, he hesitated for a moment, remembering the slap on her face that the Queen Mother had fallen on her face, putting away her love for money, and pushing the box forward: “No, no, you find someone else, I can’t take your things. .”
Cheng Qianye smiled and stretched out his hand and gently pressed the box, “His highness has made me so admirable. I have been here for these two days. Although I haven’t seen the queen mother, the high-ranking generals and ministers have also seen a few. No one is as clean as His Royal Highness.”
The eyes without saffron rolled, and the strength in his hand relaxed, “Let me tell you first, what do you want me to help?”
“I saw my sister for the first time, and I admired it in my heart, but it’s a trivial gift, how can I bother my sister to do something embarrassing.” Cheng Qianye sat down next to the saffron and shook her hand gently.
“It’s just that I heard that the queen dowager is always prestigious, and I feel a little nervous. I want my sister to say something to me.”
Don’t listen to saffron like this, relax. A little smile finally appeared.
“Well, it’s nothing. Tomorrow the queen mother will summon you, and then I will find an excuse to enter the palace and say a few good things for you from the side.”
Cheng Qianye got up to thank you, and left.
Not long after, the nephew without saffron did not hide Pei Zhen in.
No Saffron saw him appear at the door, quietly raised his sleeves, and slipped the small box into his sleeves.
“Auntie.” Miao Zang Pei Zhen was very casual in front of this little aunt, and sat down on the chair beside her.
He stretched out his sleeves and straightened his sleeves, “Just now when my nephew came in, she ran into the princess of the Jin Kingdom under the porch. She came to the nephew’s house the day before yesterday, and she didn’t expect even the little aunt to let it go today. “
No Saffron glanced at him: “This princess Cheng Qianye of the Jin Kingdom is an unattractive person. Don’t ignore her. My sister’s attitude is still undecided. I have been hanging her for a few days, and I will call her tomorrow. “
Without hiding, Pei Zhen smiled indifferently: “She didn’t ask me to do anything, but she asked me to show some mercy to Zhang Fu’s subordinates. I think the aunt has not yet decided on this matter, so she still has to keep it. That Zhang Fu died. He promised her.”
He touched his chin and remembered that he had just passed by under the porch. The princess was neither arrogant nor humble, and smiled and nodded to him.
Without the saffron, he said, “Don’t move your mind. Men in Jin are as cunning as foxes, and women must be as sinister as vipers. According to me, we Xirong men are only worthy of women on the prairie. Pei Zhen, you must not follow your uncles and marry a Han girl.”
“What am I making? I just think that although this woman looks gentle and gentle like a Han woman on the surface, she has an indescribable feeling.” Nozang Pei Zhen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. I found the words correctly, “It’s like auntie, even if you can’t be angry, you have a momentum in your bones.”
The next morning, Cheng Qianye was finally received by the Queen Mother Xirong Mizo.
When the Queen Mother Mizoang looked at the young Jin Kingdom princess, walking slowly from the door of the main hall, she was actually suppressing an anger in her heart.
Jin Yuehou, the lord of the Jin Kingdom, sent his sister to come for peace talks, but at the same time sent two generals under his command to attack the border town of Xirong.
At this moment, the Queen Mother Muzang had just banned her son, intending to support the new emperor, and the Xirong Dynasty was in chaos. I really can’t get a hand to go to war with Jin, and this negotiation is really needed.
However, being forced to lower her head and shook hands with the enemy who had just attacked her own city, she felt a humiliation for her after a long time.
After the princess of the Jin Kingdom arrived as an envoy, the queen mother did not deliberately not summon her immediately, just to cool her down, so that the young princess also messed up and lowered her arrogance.
However, the princess started to visit all over the place generously. In just a few days, she actually visited almost all the important officials in the court.
In the past few days, the direction of the wind in the dynasty has changed subtlely. The courtiers began to believe in the sincerity of Jin’s negotiations. Many people advised her to meet the Jin princess.
She is a true politician without the Queen Dowager in charge of government for many years. Even though she feels annoyed in her heart, she still gives Cheng Qianye a seat without losing her grace.
She went up and down the range of Chiba, and said: “Aren’t your Jin countries so unmanned? You sent a princess like you as an envoy?”
Cheng Qianye laughed: “It’s fine if someone else said this. I was a little surprised to say it from the empress dowager. Our women are just bound by the secular world, and there are many inconveniences when we act, but in fact it is not Nothing worse than men.”
“I heard your name as the Queen Mother when I was very young, and I have always admired the Queen Mother as a person, and regarded you as a role model for me and other women. What the lady said today, she must be just a joke with my junior?”
Although she knows what Cheng Qianye said, she is deliberately holding herself up, but this sentence really cuts to the heart of not hiding the queen mother. As a woman, she has gone through many hardships along the way, only she knows it, and she has always been the best. Look down on women who are self-conscious.
This princess is really good at talking. Did not hide the queen mother in her heart to remind herself, and this is a very stable person, don’t underestimate her because she is young.
“You Jin, you just robbed me of Zhengzhou and injured the lives of my Xirong warriors. At this moment, you are sent to negotiate. How can I trust your sincerity?” If the Queen Mother did not pick up Cheng Qianye, he went directly to the topic.
“Empress Mother, have you ever heard a word?” Cheng Qianye asked. Her voice was clear and her words were clear, and she posted it in the empty hall, “between people, there may be dead knots that cannot be solved. But between nations, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.”
“There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits?” Empress Mizang chewed this sentence in her heart. If you haven’t been in politics for many years, you can’t really appreciate the meaning of this statement.
“What’s more, there is no deep hatred between our two countries. Zhengzhou is originally the land of my Han people. We are just asking for money. Now, my brother only wants to let the subjects in the territory rest and live and work in peace and contentment. Sincerely send me as an envoy. The country wants to divide the land and govern with the Queen Mother, so far we have good-neighborly friendship and exchanges between the states.”
The Queen Mother Mizo heard the underlying meaning behind these high-sounding words. Jin is a newly emerging country that has just expanded a large area of land. It needs time to stabilize the results, cultivate people’s livelihood, and strengthen its national strength.
Although she didn’t want to sit back and watch this terrible neighbor, she became stronger. But their Xirong, because of the civil strife between the court and the hall, also urgently needed a chance to breathe.
It seems that we can only temporarily compromise for the common needs of the two countries.
“Since you and I both have the intention of peace talks.” The Queen Mother said, “Then please withdraw your troops on the border first. Especially your general Mo Qiaosheng, who is savage and rude. For the sake of talking with you, I have already assembled our Xirong army and officially confronted him.”
In just a few days, the terrifying Moqiaosheng general of the Jin Kingdom led a cavalry, without any luggage, each carrying only a few days’ worth of dry food, like a steel knife, and drove straight into the hinterland of Xirong.
Unstoppable all the way, he has now arrived less than fifty miles away from Hog Kyung, which is the main reason why the Queen Mother finally let go of negotiations.
Cheng Qianye took out a copy of the Credentials from his sleeve, with several treaties written on it, and offered it with both hands.
A war without gunpowder smoke unfolded above this hall, from the morning to the sunset.
The two sides bargain, you come and I meet until the details of each treaty are finalized.
When it was time to sign and seal, Cheng Qianye casually added: “By the way, the queen mother, I have to ask you for someone.”
…
A great **** that never sees the sky all day long,
The heavy iron door opened with a babble.
Lao Li raised his head and saw a team of brightly clothed attendants coming in from the dimly-lit gate, among them was a woman in a splendid costume.
The woman didn’t mind the pollution of the prison at all, she hurried down the stairs and went straight to the door next to him.
The author has something to say: Let’s talk about the decision made by Cheng Qianye as an envoy.
First of all, this must be a very wrong decision. As the monarch of a country, it is too impulsive to put himself in danger just to save a counselor.
Only Mo Qiaosheng could be persuaded by her, and it would be impossible for Zhang Fu or Xiao Jin to agree to her.
What I want to say is that because of her system power, Qianye makes her look like a brilliant and perfect person. But in fact, she has her own emotions, and she also makes irrational decisions on impulse.
In fact, we can also see in history that many monarchs have done unwise actions. For example, the typical King of Chu Huai went to Qin on his own, but the result was of course very bad. Because of Guan Yu’s death, Liu Xuande did not listen to Zhuge Liang’s advice. He insisted on taking revenge with his soldiers and was burned by the fire.
But just because they are a flesh and blood person, there will be various possibilities in life.
Another point is that Jin is still a small country of vassals, and Cheng Qianye is still different from the great monarchs who live above the temples.
Finally, just rectify Zhang Fu’s name. Mr. Zhang is still innocent. How did you go crooked to wherever you go?
