Chapter 171: Defeated, Seeking Peace
When the news of Xuanfu's fall came, the court was shrouded in gloom and the ministers were arguing fiercely again.
The ministers who were previously filled with righteous indignation and wanted to let Lin Danhan know the price of offending the emperor now wanted to negotiate, saying things like sleeping on straw and tasting gall, which was incomprehensible.
They were the ones who rushed into the war, and they were also the ones who asked for peace after the first battle was unfavorable.
Of course, there are still many people who are trying to divert attention, shift the blame, impeach this and accuse that, for fear of being involved in any responsibility.
The capital was in danger of falling, but the ministers in the court only thought about evading responsibility, transferring their property, and passively seeking peace.
Up to now, there are not many ministers in this country who have the courage to turn the tide.
The court officials argued for the whole morning, but still could not come up with a solution that satisfied everyone. After all, even if they were to seek peace, the Celestial Empire could not lose face.
It was not until everyone was thirsty that someone mentioned the person mentioned in Lindan Khan's letter.
The ministers were suddenly enlightened.
It would be easy to deal with this excuse. When they negotiated, it was not because they were afraid of Ligdan Khan, but because they did not want to put the people of both sides into war because of one person.
This is all for the sake of benevolence and righteousness. After all, if war breaks out, it is the people who suffer.
They looked as if they were not the ones who were indignant and shouting for war in the court a few days ago.
Of course, there were people who opposed it. After all, there was never a shortage of righteous people in the court.
It's just that their voices are too small and cannot compete with the voices of so many people.
Having made the decision, the cabinet ministers once again asked to see the emperor.
However, when some indignant ministers learned that the emperor actually agreed to peace talks, they were extremely disappointed with the court and resigned immediately.
Afterwards, a solemn letter was delivered to Ligdan Khan.
This is the highlight of his life.
With the grassland tribes, they easily broke through the important town in the north of the Ming Dynasty. This made Lin Danhan, who originally just wanted to establish his power and become a king, extremely ambitious and even had the idea of taking back his ancestral kingdom.
Who wouldn’t be envious of such a beautiful place as the South?
When he received the letter from the Ming Dynasty, his reputation rose again.
At this time, he certainly would not choose to negotiate. I have the advantage, what else is there to negotiate?
Immediately, he was about to throw the letter aside like toilet paper, but at this moment, Ye Hao stepped in to stop him.
"What do you think, Mr. Ye?" Lin Danhan became serious.
He felt that this southerner was crucial to his current achievements, so he always showed great respect to Ye Hao.
"It's okay to agree." Ye Hao said.
Then, amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Ye Hao began to slowly tell the story.
"There is no need to refuse. Whether or not to reconcile is not determined by a letter, but by the strength of both parties. The situation is in my favor now, so I will agree to his request. On the one hand, it will make the Liming court relax its vigilance, and on the other hand, the Khan can take the opportunity to integrate the country."
When Lin Danhan heard this, he immediately thought it was very reasonable and adopted it.
His prestige was indeed unmatched, but he could not control the people of other tribes as he pleased. The problems of the Anda Khan and Tuman Khan tribes also needed time to be resolved.
If they just wanted to rob and leave, then the original team would be enough, but if they wanted to leave the Ming Dynasty and replace it, then they would have to integrate themselves.
The poor performance of the Ming Dynasty gave him more confidence.
I feel like repeating the glory of the grassland people is not far away from me.
Afterwards, a letter was delivered to the court of the Liming Dynasty, and the letter stated that the person to be handed over was named "Qin Hao", a disciple of the "Yuxu Sect" in the Southern Region.
The information was naturally provided by Ye Hao.
He now hated Qin Hao even more, and wanted to grind him to ashes all the time. He would not let go of any chance.
Soon, the letter reached the court and was then presented to the emperor.
The emperor didn't even look at them and just asked them to arrest the person.
Although the Ming Dynasty is not as strong as when the Guo Dynasty was first established, it is still very easy to capture people from a sect in a region.
Although there are many powerful people in these major sects within the country, there are also many powerful people in the imperial court, even far more than in local sects.
The imperial court's million-strong army also has cultivation. Although their individual strength is not strong, when they join forces to fight the enemy together, they are unstoppable.
As long as all the local sects do not unite, the imperial court will still have absolute advantage.
……
Not long after, an army arrived at Qingfeng Town at the foot of the Qingxu Mountains.
Soon, Li Cunzhi, who received the news, brought people down.
Although the power of the imperial court in the local areas has been gradually declining, unless it involves fundamental issues of interest, the local sects will still maintain outward respect for the imperial court.
Li Cunzhi didn't know why the imperial envoy came, but he was still polite to the leading envoy before asking about his purpose.
The envoy did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his trip. "Your sect disciple Qin Hao slaughtered herdsmen on the grassland, causing Lin Danhan to march south in anger. Your Majesty is merciful and does not want the people of the two places to be subjected to war. Now he needs to be ordered to go north to explain. Sect Master Li, please leave the matter to me."
The envoy's attitude was not polite and he made his point clear as soon as he opened his mouth.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Yuxu Sect was surprised.
Li Cunzhi thought for a moment and said, "Excuse me, Your Excellency. The disciple you mentioned disappeared in the battle against the Demon Sect in the Southern Region a year ago and has not been heard from since. All the sects in the Southern Region can testify to this. I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding..."
Upon hearing this, the messenger immediately said in displeasure: "The other party asked for this person by name, are you going to disobey? What are the consequences of this? You'd better think carefully!"
"It's not that I want to disobey your order, but this disciple has indeed disappeared..."
The two sides argued for a long time, neither side was willing to give in, and they finally parted on bad terms.
After the messenger left, he immediately sent the news to the court.
When the imperial court received the news that the Yuxu Sect was not cooperating, it was immediately furious. Disobeying orders was a provocation to the imperial court. If they were not punished, where would the imperial court's majesty be?
If you can’t deal with Ligdan Khan, can’t you deal with a sect in the country?
This was the common idea of the court ministers.
The imperial court has become increasingly conservative in recent years, and its control over local areas has been weakening. It is time to take action to make the local forces behave themselves.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Afterwards, a military order was sent directly to the south, and "General Annan" who received the order immediately set out for the Yuxu Sect.
