Yan Wushuang sat on the dragon chair, squinting as if he was asleep.
Grandpa Min respectfully said: "The emperor, Han Jianming has already arrived outside the palace."
"Let him in." At this time, making trouble for Han Jianming seemed to be narrow-minded. Since he was allowed to enter the palace, he wouldn't do this dishonest thing either.
Han Jianming smelled a strong fragrance as soon as he entered the room. This scent is familiar to him, it is the scent of ambergris. But Yuxi doesn't like burning incense in the house, he only likes to put fresh flowers in the house. So for a while, Han Jianming was still a little uncomfortable.
After entering the room, Han Jianming did not kneel, but bowed to Yan Wushuang and bowed to Yan Wushuang: "Han Jianming has seen your majesty." He has never called Yun Qing his majesty, only the emperor.
Yan Wushuang looked at Han Jianming, wearing a simple black brocade robe with a wide purple belt around his waist. Although he is almost fifty years old, he looks extremely energetic.
"Unexpectedly, you actually have a three-point image with A Chi." This is the opposite, it should be A Chi and Han Jianming.
Han Jianming didn't expect Yan Wushuang to mention Yan Hengli in his first sentence, but it showed that he valued Yan Hengli's son very much. For him, this is a good thing.
"The nephew is like an uncle, this is normal." Although he is the uncle, he is also very close by blood.
Yan Wushuang chuckled and said, "Han Yuxi asked you to die for his son, don't you complain?" If it weren't for Han Jianming, he would definitely not see anyone else. You know, Han Jianming was optimistic about Yun Qing and Han Yuxi 20 years ago. Otherwise, it won't be ruined.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I asked Ying to be the envoy myself, not the empress who asked me to come." When he said this, Han Jianming's face was very calm.
Yan Wushuang laughed and said, "Oh, you actually invited Ying to come to Shengjing? You are not afraid of death." The more powerful people are, the more reluctant to die. How could someone like Han Jianming not be afraid of death.
Han Jianming borrowed a sentence from Sima Qian: "Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather."
With a sneer, Yan Wushuang said: "You mean you are the envoy, if you die, you will be heavier than Mount Tai."
There is no need to tell lies in front of people who understand. Han Jianming said frankly: "If you can tell your Majesty that you will submit to the court and save the lives of countless soldiers and people, then my death will be heavier than Mount Tai."
"What do you mean, if I don't agree to submit, I'm ignoring the lives of the soldiers and the people." When he said this, Yan Wushuang had a murderous look on his face.
Han Jianming would be frightened if it were so simple, and he would not take the initiative to invite Ying to be the persuasive envoy: "It will snow in August, and the grain will definitely be unavailable. If the court does not provide relief, countless people will freeze to death and starve to death. , You must be powerless to provide disaster relief. As the king of a country, he still sees the people freeze to death and starve to death, although he clearly has a choice, what is it that is not a faint king?"
It was the first time that someone pointed at the nose and scolded Faunjun. Yan Wushuang smiled brightly: "You really are not afraid of death."
"In order to protect the land of Liaodong and the people on this land, the Yan family has given up young and precious lives. But now, your majesty, your behavior runs counter to them." He told the Yan family. The matter is well understood.
Yan Wushuang's expression changed abruptly, his face full of hostility: "Our Yan family has guarded Liaodong for generations. What can we get in return? It is the betrayal of the court and the demise of the family."
Han Jianming straightened his waist and said in a deep voice: "The Zhou royal family is sorry to the Yan family, but the people of Liaodong have not sorry for the Yan family, let alone you. If not, you could not have occupied Liaodong so smoothly in the past."
Yun Qing was able to take the Northwest so quickly, firstly because he was brave and good at fighting, and secondly because of Yuxi's unknown prophet. However, Yan Wushuang captured Liaodong in a short period of time and then entered the capital, but he was covered by the Yan family's ancestors.
Yan Wushuang looked at Han Jianming on the ground.
Han Jianming continued: "The Zhou royal family is sorry to the Yan family, and you can take revenge on them. But the people of Liaodong have always supported you and the Yan family has supported you. You have the heart to let them freeze to death and starve to death, and then finally survive and die. Under the iron hoof of the Donghu people?"
Yan Wushuang laughed when he heard these words: "You mean if I don't surrender, I will be a sinner forever?"
"I don't know if it's a sinner of the ages, but I know that you must be a sinner of the Yan family. The ancestors of the Yan family used their lives to protect the people here, but you are ruining this land and turning a blind eye to the lives and deaths of the people here. I Thinking, the ancestors of the Yan family must not be able to look down under Jiuquan." Everyone has weaknesses, but Yan Wushuang's weakness lies in the reputation of the Yan family and his children.
Yan Wushuang was furious, and stood up and shouted, "Here you are, drag him out for me and kill him."
Soon, two soldiers came in and dragged Han Jianming out. As for Han Jianming, there was no trace of fear on his face.
A Chi, who was waiting outside the Imperial Study Room, rushed in and said, "Father, don't do it!"
Yan Wushuang asked with an unkind expression: "What? Do you want to plead for him too?"
Achi said eagerly: "Father, the two armies are fighting without being cut. You can't change the status quo if you kill him."
Yan Wushuang glanced at A Chi, then sat down again and asked, "That's how you want to surrender?"
Achi shook his head and said, "Father, you said that the Yan family would rather die than surrender, and I would never surrender. However, Father, if you want to kill the uncle, the mother and concubine will definitely be very sad."
If it was before, Yan Wushuang didn't care if Yuchen was sad! But after so many things, he also began to worry about Yuchen's feelings.
Thinking of this, Yan Wushuang said: "Take him to see your mother and concubine first, and then bring him back later."
When Yuchen heard Han Jianming coming, his hand shook, and the needle pierced into the meat. Regardless of the pain, Yuchen asked, "Achi, you mean your uncle is here?"
Achi nodded.
Yuchen asked in disbelief: "How come your uncle came to Shengjing in front of his official in the capital?" As far as she knows, Han Jianming is now a high-ranking official of the Criminal Ministry. How come to Shengjing? I am not afraid that the emperor will kill him.
Achi did not hide from Yuchen, and said, "The uncle came to surrender the emperor by the will of Emperor Ming and Empress Ming. The emperor was irritated by him and wanted to behead him, but I stopped him. "
"Take your eldest uncle to the living room, and the concubine will change her clothes." Her assassin wore regular clothes, so she naturally had to change clothes when she saw guests.
Achi nodded and agreed.
Although Yuchen is forty this year, his skin is still as smooth as suet jade.
When Han Jianming saw it, he couldn't help sighing, "I haven't seen him in twenty years, and the appearance of the empress has not changed at all." This is true of Yuchen, and so is Yuxi. It's like time, staying still on them. On the other hand, he was a bad old man.
In fact, Han Jianming is also self-effacing, although he is almost fifty, he is also a beautiful uncle.
When Yuchen heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "I'm old, and I'm forty years old this year."
After finishing speaking, Yuchen said with a serious face: "Brother, I heard Achi said that you are here to persuade the emperor to be subjugated on behalf of the Ming Dynasty?"
Hearing this, Han Jianming immediately knelt on the ground: "Niangniang, for the sake of Liaodong soldiers and the people, I hope Niangniang can persuade your majesty to accept the court's surrender."
"Brother, I can't do anything about this." She never intervenes in military affairs. This time, she didn't plan to intervene.
Han Jianming did not say in the righteous manner: "Niangniang, now my emperor has led 500,000 horsemen under the Shengjing city, and will attack the city as soon as the weather gets warm. Once Shengjing breaks through, the Niangniang and the third prince and the elder The princess will be at stake. Niang, even if you are not the people of Liaodong, but for the third prince and the eldest princess, you have to persuade your majesty! The third prince and the eldest princess are only sixteen years old now, and their lives have just begun."
This is poking Yuchen's weakness. She has enjoyed the blessings and sins in her life, even if she died, she has no regrets. But the two children are still young, so she can't bear it. But these two children were so stubborn that they didn't want to leave. Especially A Bao said that if she was forced to go, she would kill herself.
Achi looked at Yuchen with a painful look, and finally said, "Uncle, don't talk about it anymore. Our Yan family has a group training. The Yan family's son can only die in battle and cannot surrender."
Han Jianming really knew about this: "This is what your great grandfather Yanda said. At that time, your great grandfather guarded Tongcheng and only 20,000 people were left. At that time, the prince was fighting for power and profit, and some prince wanted to use his own person. Replace your grandfather, so the reinforcements have not arrived. The Donghu people sent envoys to surrender. Your grandfather said that the Yan family only had a son who died in battle, and no one surrendered."
For these reasons, A Chi really didn't know: "Uncle, how did you know this?"
"I have respected the Yan family's iron bones since I was a child, and I know much about the Yan family's affairs. I was willing to help when something happened to the Yan family, but because of the small words, I could only watch the Yan family be annihilated." He was really concerned about the family accident.
Han Jianming looked towards Yuchen and Achi: "Marshal Yanda said that he would rather die than to descend, not to the Donghu people, or not to the current court. The third princes, if it snows in August, there will be a bad omen. If the disaster is not provided in time, there will be No hundreds of people died of freezing and starvation."
Yuchen said in a low voice: "Fell, we too will die. Yuxi, she will not let us go."
Han Jianming was shocked and asked, "Where did you start talking about Niangniang? The empress Niangniang has always said nothing. Before leaving Beijing this time, the queen asked me to greet Niangniang. She said that she hadn't seen her for more than 20 years. miss you."
Before Yuchen could speak, Han Jianming said, "I know Niangniang must have been worrying about Qihao's smallpox. Niangniang, the queen said that she was very annoyed at the time, but then I think about you also because of Zhou Yan's affairs. It's all about it. As a mother, she can understand." Since Han Jianming is allowed to act as the envoy, naturally he has to tell him everything.
Yuchen was stunned, and asked after a while: "Yuxi, does she really say that?"
Han Jianming respectfully said: "I dare not lie about this matter. Niangniang, I know your scruples. The queen Niangniang said that in the face of major national events, personal grievances can be ignored."
After a long silence, Yu Chen said: "Brother, you go and rest first!" She wanted A Bao and A Chi to live. Even if they are accused by thousands of people, they want to keep their children alive.
