Your Majesty will suffer

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the court began to discuss the matter of sending envoys, but the Zhongshu even recommended several people, which were not in line with the holy will, and they were still reconsidering the candidates, but Jin Guo's envoys came first!Heliu Zongmin's dispatch of envoys this time is only for one thing: to search for the sixteen prefectures of Youyun!This request, although unexpected, is reasonable!

The Southern Dynasties are using troops to the northwest at this moment, and they don't want to meet Jin Guo again, otherwise there is no chance of winning if the two sides fight!Therefore, it is a wise move to seek land at the moment!Most of the Southern Dynasties would choose to give in, so he could take over the Sixteen States of Youyun without a single soldier!As for Qiang Jie, even though he said he would submit to him, he never believed him: since he took over the Tuoba clan, he has often vacillated between the northern and southern dynasties!Think back then, Jin Shengzong also tried three times to fight against Qiang Jie, but all of them returned without success!Therefore, if you return to teach Daliang to be flat, you will also get rid of one trouble.

However, if Daliang refuses to cede the land, then he will raise troops again!At that time, Liang and Qiang Jie had been fighting for a long time, and their vitality must have been severely damaged. Heliu Zongmin just took advantage of the fisherman's advantage: first conquer Qiang Jie's city, and then use troops to the south, the victory is sure!

Although Jin Guo's move was really a robbery by fire, Heliu Zongmin might still have a trace of his old feelings, and he didn't want to be blatant and plundering, or he might not want to leave the name of ungrateful, so he asked for it here. The reason for the name is not ambiguous. After searching the historical records and deliberating carefully, I finally found two:

First, when the Central Plains was not fixed, the Sixteen States of Youyun had already taught the last emperor of the previous dynasty to sacrifice to Jin, but taught the Tai/zu of Liang to send troops to seize it. This is unbelievable;

Second, when Emperor Taizong of Liang attacked Jin's Swallow City, it was because of no name!

Both of these two posts are old things, seventy or eighty years ago, few people know the details, so it is impossible for Daliang to know the answer for a while.After retreating from the court, the upper and lower orders were widely collected for countermeasures.

Liu Yun, a direct scholar of Jixian Academy, entered the memorial the next day and said: "The Later Jin Dynasty was a puppet dynasty that rebelled against the generals and established itself. How can the so-called rebellious officials and thieves deceive the sky and rebel? In other words, before the last emperor presented Youyan, The Later Jin Dynasty has been destroyed by my Tai/ancestor, and the last emperor is at the end of his way, so he promised to use the land of Youyan to ask Jin Guo to send troops to rescue him! In fact, this is just a piece of paper!"

Later, Yang Zhen, a collaborator of the pavilion, said: "When Wang Shi was in Taiyuan, Jin Guo sent troops to help the bandits even though he was an envoy! Taizong was angry, so he returned to the army to attack them. Isn't it nameless?"

So he ordered Dangdian to refute it, and made a report, but envoy Jin said that the matter was serious, and asked Daliang to send an envoy to tell his master face to face!In this way, the matter has returned to the original place, and there is no room for delay in the matter of sending envoys.

After thinking about it, Yue Ling wanted to push the boat forward, so he sent Liu Yun to go!Not wanting to be dissuaded by Lu Zi, he recommended Yang Zhen instead, who was a student of the former Prime Minister Wang Sui.As soon as this discussion came out, several people from the Wang family went to the court to reprimand Lu Zi for harming Zhongliang because of his own selfishness!That's why I said this, because it's different from the past, the current situation is uncertain, and the situation in the north is unpredictable. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger!Liu Yun belongs to the Lu party faction, so Lu Zi's move is hard to get rid of the suspicion of being under the protection!

When the country is in crisis, as a minister, you can't share the worries of the king, but you evade and evade each other!When Yue Ling thought about this, he became angry from the bottom of his heart, wishing to demote all those who had been arguing endlessly.

In the afternoon, the autumn wind is warm, the lake surface is like a mirror, and fishing is a good time.

People around me have collected a few, and it seems that they have reaped a lot.

Yue Ling glanced sideways at the still empty bucket at his feet, got bored, got up and said, "It's boring here, let's go for a walk in the garden!"

This season, the sweet-scented osmanthus is falling, and the chrysanthemums are just blooming in the early morning. It seems that there are only dots of bright yellow buds dotted among the bushes, which is not very pleasing to the eye.After all, it is still a few days early to visit the garden and enjoy the chrysanthemums.

Nangong Ji knew that he was troubled, so he sought relief along the way.

Yue Ling was furious, and said, "I really never thought that Lu Zi would protect me in such a critical time! And the royal party is pushing each other with him, it is really abominable!"

Nan Gongji said: "At present, Lu Xiang thinks that this is not the case, or there is something hard to say. Let's talk about how he shirks?"

Yue Ling snorted and said, "Lu Zi said that Liu Yun is frivolous and shows off, and he is utilitarian, so he should not be sent as an envoy!"

Nan Gongji thought for a while, and said: "If you know a person well, you will know his shortcomings! Thinking about it, Liu Yun won the top three at the age of seventeen. Hearing that this person is known to be courageous, what does His Majesty think?"

Yue Ling shook his head helplessly: "The time when he moved to the capital is still short, and he is not often seen, I really don't know."

Nangong Ji smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in a dilemma, and my ministers are all selfish. I have a thought, why not teach these two to compete? I think Zong Min is also good at winning, so His Majesty will give whatever he wants, and the winner will go, wouldn't it be just right? !"

Yue Ling frowned and considered for a while, then said: "That's fine, I'll do what you say!" After the agreement was made, the annoyance in my heart suddenly eased, and he said: "Why do you have time to come here today? You have something to say ?”

Nangong Ji pondered for a while, then shook his head: "There is no one else, but I know that you have been restless in eating and sleeping recently, so you are not at ease, so I just came to have a look."

On the second day, Yue Ling summoned Yang and Liu to enter alone, and ordered each of them to present their own views on the matter of the state of Jin's search for land.

After some comparison, Yang Zhen is indeed slightly better!Therefore, the matter of sending envoys was agreed upon.On the same day, it was decreed that Yang Zhen would be a privy direct bachelor, and immediately follow Jin Shi to go north to return to his order.

Yang Zhen went inside to bid farewell, but said: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and I will fight with all my strength to stick to the ancestral territory without losing a single bit!"

Yue Ling was moved by it, but he repeatedly told him not to fight, but to be devious, to act according to the situation, and to use euphemistic words!

Yang Zhen wrote down one by one, but he insisted on resigning from the post of privy bachelor. He said: "The country is in a hurry, and the righteousness is not afraid of hard work, and the order of rewards and punishments must be for a reason! I don't have an inch of merit, so I dare not accept salary for nothing."

Yue Ling said: "At this time of crisis, Qing stood up to share my worries, which is already a great achievement, but going to the north has an unpredictable situation, and it is even more hard work. It should be commended!".Turning around and taking two steps, he said earnestly: "Master Jin is arrogant, the so-called insignificant position means that his words must be taken lightly. If you go with your original position, he will definitely not take you seriously!"

This statement has already revealed the hidden worry in Yue Ling's heart: what Nan Gongji said is not bad, although the northerners are uninhibited, they say they don't care about small details and etiquette, but in fact they are light-hearted and will not be disobedient!Not to mention that Heliu Zongmin once became the emperor, and he was arrogant. He was rejected the first two times to ask for a portrait, and he was afraid that it would be regarded as an insult!As Nangongji said, Zong Min is a man of temperament, the old relationship should not be easily discarded, and the current behavior may be due to the cause and effect of the past!
