Chapter four hundred and eighty eight: like thunder
The thoughts of Yansheng Gong’s Mansion are really hard to guess.
But in any case, being given a scholar is enough to prove that some special connection has been established between Chen Kaizhi and Yansheng Gonggong Mansion.
Chen Zhengdao opened his mouth wide. He wanted to scold him, but now... he was speechless and could not find any words to say.
But at this time, someone said, "Why do you want to learn? Let's hear it."
But at this time, Empress Dowager Mu had already brought in with a group of eunuchs, and the Empress Dowagers saluted one after another.
Queen Mother Mu only looked around and her eyes fell on Chen Kaizhi.
Mr. Wu immediately said, "Empress, Chen Kaizhi is now given the title of scholar by the Yansheng Gong Mansion."
"Ah?" Empress Dowager Mu was stunned at first, then she was happy, pursing her lips and smiling: "This is a great thing. Our great Chen Junjie is really impressive now."
Chen Kaizhi hurriedly said, "I am ashamed, this is all the credit of the Empress."
Queen Mother Mu just smiled, then her eyes flashed. Although she was overjoyed, she was not able to express her feelings too much. She just changed the topic as usual: "Today, we summoned all the families of the ministers to discuss the matter of Beiyan. The envoys of Beiyan have come to pay a visit this morning. They were defeated in Lelang and were defeated by the Japanese pirates. The strength of the Japanese pirates has increased greatly. Now the Northern Yan is in a state of great trouble. Of course, I, Da Chen and Beiyan, are in the same mood, and I can't be laughed at. Da Chen's sea realm is also thousands of miles away. Who can guarantee that the Japanese pirates will not attack my Da Chen?"
Everyone said yes.
Chen Kaizhi frowned slightly. While recording, he thought that Lelang was the border of the north of Yan State. In his previous life, it belonged to North Korea in the north. Since the Han Dynasty, it has always been the territory of the Han Dynasty. Now Northern Yan has suffered a defeat in Lelang, which is enough to drink a lot.
Because the center of Northern Yan is theoretically located in Hebei, Lelang and other places, thousands of miles away from Hebei, if Northern Yan rushes to Lelang, it will inevitably travel through the northern country for thousands of miles, which will consume too much. But if the army is not dispatched, the army and horses on the line of Lelang will obviously be unable to withstand the harassment of Japanese pirates.
Once Lelang was lost, Lelang and other places became paradises for Japanese pirates. They had Lelang and even some islands in southern Korea, and instantly, they encountered a huge threat to the Shandong prefectures in Dachen.
After all, the reason why Beiyan was overwhelmed was because his energy was mainly focused on the Hu people on the northern border, the Hebei front line, Lelang and other places. After all, it was just a corner of the land. It was impossible for him to give up the Hu people's city blockade and the garrison in Hebei and other places for the sake of Lelang.
Chen Yishou said at this time: "Empress, the Japanese pirates are cruel. They make a living by plundering and are brave and fierce. They are all desperate people who are not afraid of death. It is said that in the Japanese islands, a huge 100,000 Japanese went out to sea to find a way out. These people were originally entrenched in overseas islands and plundering as their ability. The combat power of these people is terrible. It is said that in the Lelang areas, dozens of Japanese people can chase and kill thousands of Northern Yan troops, and thousands of Northern Yan troops are like lambs and dare not fight!"
Speaking of Japanese pirates, a terrifying atmosphere suddenly flowed out here. Many war reports sent from Lelang were seen by many people, and they were indeed too horrifying. Some even described Japanese pirates as ghost soldiers, and they were defeated in every way.
Therefore, Chen Yishou looked worried, frowned deeply and sighed.
"Now that Beiyan has been defeated in a row, the Japanese pirates have won Lelang and their strength has become stronger. If this continues, they will be unable to fill their desires. Sooner or later, they will have to use overseas islands to attack the seaside of Dachen. They have to guard against it. In the view of my ministers, for the sake of their own safety, Dachen must support the people of Beiyan and let them continue to fight against the Japanese pirates to hold back the Japanese. On the other hand, Dachen, Shandong and Jinling, I am afraid that they must strengthen their defenses to prevent accidents."
Some people also said: "The defeat of Northern Yan just shows the reality of Northern Yan. Over the past few decades, they have been quite strong on the surface, but in fact they are weak. It is better to take this opportunity to threaten them to return the prefectures and counties north of Mount Tai that they invaded that year. If they refuse to return, they will wait for the battle..."
"No." Yao Wenzhi shook his head. The person who said this was King Liang, but Yao Wenzhi looked very opposed: "Black Yan invaded Da Chen and indeed cut off many prefectures and counties. After that, the two sides met. Although the people of Beiyan returned some of them, the seven prefectures and forty-five counties north of Mount Tai fell into the hands of Beiyan. But at present, the Japanese are a big problem. If the people of Beiyan are injured at this time, it may cause doubts from various countries. If the people of Beiyan are dissatisfied and simply give up the Lelang Palaces and fight with me Da Chen, wouldn't it be the last advantage for the Japanese and Hu people?"
"Although Beiyan was my enemy of Dachen in the past, they were also the barrier between my Dachen and the east. After all, they were in the same spirit and branches, and the two countries also had blood ties. Dachen could not be completely unfair."
King Liang seemed a little angry and asked coldly: "If you don't take it at this time, where will you have a chance in the future?"
Chen Kaizhi was at the desk, recording while recording and thinking began to come alive. He was more inclined to Yao Wenzhi and Chen Yishou. King Liang only valued small profits in front of him. On the surface, he seemed to have the opportunity to recover some lost lands for decades, but the reason why Beiyan was in trouble was essentially an enemy on three sides.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the need to prevent Da Chen from sending troops to support Lelang. Once Da Chen was hostile to them, most of the Northern Yan court would simply give up. In order to deal with Da Chen's threat, they would shrink their busyness and abandon the land in the northern border such as Lelang, and even give up their defense against the Hu people, concentrate the Northern Yan army and horses in Hebei, and fight against Da Chen.
In this way, not only did other countries have to support Northern Yan, but it made it difficult for Da Chen to gain a moral foothold, but most importantly, how many benefits could Da Chen get?
The general trend today is that no country has crushed the strength of other countries, so it maintains a balance of power. Since the national strength of Da Chen cannot annex Northern Yan at one time, it will instead take advantage of the situation. So what if it gets a few prefectures?
But Chen Kai's man said something lightly, so these opinions were naturally not something he could say. He just took notes obediently. Even if he could participate in the topic now, he didn't want to show off. Just listen to it. He couldn't control so many other people now.
Empress Dowager Mu frowned deeply when she heard this: "Yao Aiqing and Chen Aiqing's words make more sense. My Great Chen Ze was betrayed by all sides. If I betrayed, I would only be afraid that I would not be worth the loss. The best way at the moment should be to support the Northern Yan fighting against the Japanese pirates. However, there are many doubts within the Northern Yan. They dare not recruit elite soldiers from Hebei to Lelang for assistance, but their fundamental purpose is to be afraid that I Great Chen will go north. Therefore, what Da Chen wants to do is to win the trust of them and strive for the Northern Yan to send elite soldiers to fight against the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates can be eliminated, it will not be of no benefit to me Great Chen. The Japanese pirates are cruel and indulge them today. Tomorrow, they will harm my Great Chen's people. However, how can they win the trust of the people of Northern Yan so that they have no worries?"
Everyone was silent.
This is obviously a difficult task, which means that the person on the mission must not only have a high reputation, which is enough to reduce the doubts and distrust of the Northern Yan State, but also needs to express the determination of the Great Chen court to win the trust of the Northern Yan people. Of course, it is best that this person has a great relationship with the monarch and ministers of Northern Yan, so that it is best for the Northern Yan mediation.
Since the Queen Mother has made the decision, the only question now is who to send to.
Suddenly, someone said: "I have a choice."
Queen Mother Mu's eyes flashed, and the person who spoke was King Zhao, so she looked at her faint expression and asked in confusion.
"Oh, who is it?"
Chen Zhi said with a smile: "It's also a beautiful story. When the Northern Yan State envoy came, Mr. Fang was the first to see him."
"Mr. Fang..." Queen Mother Mu must have known such a person, but she pretended not to know: "Who is this person?"
"This person and the former emperor of Beiyan are old friends. In terms of this, even the emperor of Beiyan is very polite to him. Mr. Fang is famous and a great scholar who is famous all over the world. All the Yan Kingdoms are respectful to him. If Mr. Fang could be sent to Beiyan in the name of our Great Chen court, the Lord of Beiyan would have treated him with the courtesy of his uncle. At that time, the Lord of Beiyan would be happy. When the Lord of Beiyan saw my Great Chen's sincerity, he would naturally leave all his doubts. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"Mr. Fang...Mr. Fang..." Chen Kaizhi felt like he was drunk, and his pen slipped. I went, it was really not to show off, otherwise he would be struck by lightning.
How could I not know how much my uncle is? Now, it’s better, such an important national event, people think of him. If he was sent to Beiyan, cough cough... Chen Kaizhi obeyed silently in his heart. If he was exposed, it would be over.
If the uncle was exposed, the court would definitely investigate, and then he would be done with it.
Why……
Really.
You still need to be low-key and not show off, otherwise you will be exposed sooner or later.
Chen Kaizhi was worried, but Empress Dowager Mu still frowned. Her eyes looked around everyone, and then slowly asked, "He is not a minister, can he really complete his mission?"
After hearing the words of Empress Dowager Mu, King Liang immediately cheered up: "Empress, I am a good brother. This Mr. Fang not only has a close relationship with the ancestors of Northern Yan, but also has a great friendship with the Dukes and Majesties of Northern Yan. Mr. Fang is a noble man. Although he is not a minister, all the nobles of all countries respect him. If this matter is handed over to others, I am still unable to guarantee it, but as long as Mr. Fang takes action, he will succeed."
Some people nodded, "I have also heard that the emperor of Northern Yan State personally brought gifts to Mr. Fang and treated him with the court and uncle. Looking at this dynasty, who has such honor in the court and the country? According to me, if Mr. Fang goes, the great things can be settled."
