Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

My suggestion was adopted, but King Dongxuan said that we should be prepared. If the North Kingdom is unwilling to negotiate peace with us, this battle will have to be fought.For the present dynasty, fighting is really the next choice.

Another major issue is uncertain - who will be the envoy to the North Kingdom.

This person needs to have weight to show our sincerity. At the same time, this person must be able to speak well and know how to maneuver.The most important thing is that this person should be loyal to me and wholeheartedly for me.

Some envoys in the previous dynasty were instigated to rebel, and in turn deceived the mother country and betrayed the country for glory.

If it were originally, it would not be difficult to choose a candidate, but we are now in a civil war. Neither King Dongxuan nor the two vassals particularly trust the ministers who were on the side of the crown prince. Difficult to travel long distances.

What's more, now that the soldiers are approaching the city, the envoy must travel day and night to the North Kingdom.

After the conditions were listed, the two vassal kings looked at me. Before I could speak, King Dongxuan had already said, "No, Fengshu can't go."

"Why can't Feng Shu go? I think Feng Shu is the best candidate." At this moment, the two feudal lords reached a united front, and they had a serious dispute with King Dongxuan.

I understand why King Dongxuan doesn't want me to be an envoy, because he thinks that I am suitable for the next prince, and there is no reason for the prince to be an envoy.

Although there has never been a precedent of beheading envoys between the two countries, if the North Kingdom breaks its promise and instead uses me as a hostage to our dynasty, the situation will be even more difficult to end.

But this is from the perspective of me as the crown prince. I never thought of being the crown prince.

The end of the dispute is that they broke up unhappy, and no one was able to convince the other.I watched the three vassals leave with livid faces, and I could only sigh.

Before I fell asleep, I thought about this incident again, and I was so worried that I couldn't fall asleep, so I simply stayed and read a book.I have read all the books in the hall, and the pages are all old.

I put down the book in my hand, and wanted Niu Xi to prepare a lantern for me to go to Zangshuge.But before the words came out, I stopped myself.

With no books to read, I was so bored that I looked through the things in my palace, but I found the things the prince gave me, the telescope and the statue of Jai Zi.

"Niu Xi, I've dealt with these two things, I don't want to see them again." I turned my eyes to look at the diorama in the hall again, "There are also dioramas, and... as long as they are gifts from the crown prince, you can deal with them together." Bar."

Niu Xi nodded, and went to the hall to call the palace servants over.

Standing alone in the hall, I suddenly remembered that today seems to be the first seven days of the prince.In order to preserve the face of the royal family, the prince's identity was not exposed, but he was sentenced for treason, and his body was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, and was buried hastily.

On the third day after the prince's death, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment gave me the counting book, which recorded the properties of the East Palace and Rongfu, all of which were counted and filled into the national treasury.

I found something strange at the end of the inventory book.

"Should the two men's wedding dresses also be recorded?" I asked the Minister of Criminal Affairs.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice smiled awkwardly, "The rule is that everything, no matter how big or small, needs to be written down."

The Ministry of Justice was really careful in its work, and even measured the size of the wedding dress.I scanned it casually and found that the sizes of the two men's wedding dresses were somewhat different, but I didn't take it to heart and handed the counting book back to the Ministry of Justice.

The next day, King Dongxuan and the two vassals still couldn’t reach a consensus. I saw that they were arguing, so after thinking about it, I interrupted and said, “Let me go on an envoy to the North Kingdom, and then let Lord Ling Wenyi in the court Stay with me, now the time really cannot be delayed. Uncle, you don't need to worry about me too much, I have dealt with people from the North Kingdom several times, and they are not the kind of people who will kill envoys."

In fact, I am not completely sure of what I said, but as I said, there is no time.I don't want my subjects to go through war and be displaced.

This time Mongolia is coming fiercely. If I can't convince the Northern Kingdom, then all my previous efforts will be in vain.

Although King Dongxuan was still unwilling, he could only nod in the end when I agreed with myself.Before leaving the palace, he held my hand, "You are a good boy, Bei Chao is lucky to have you."

The words are too heavy, and I really can't bear them.

In fact, at the beginning, I just wanted to protect Concubine Zhuang Gui and the Emperor selfishly, but step by step, the burden on me became heavier and heavier, so heavy that I couldn't let it go.

The day of the envoy is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and today all the palace people in Huayang Palace are busy without touching the ground, but I, the Lord, are the most leisurely in the whole palace.

It will take at least two months to go to the Northland and come back again.Niu Xi was afraid that I would not be used to the food on the road, especially the food from the northern country, so he asked the imperial dining room to make a lot of dry food that could last for a long time on the road.

During this half day, I went to Tianji Palace.The national teacher's spirit has improved a lot. He knew that I was going to the North Kingdom, so he didn't say anything, just handed me a Buddhist scripture, and stretched out his hand to lightly touch my forehead.

"All dharmas come into being due to conditions, and I say this. If the conditions are exhausted, they will disappear. This is what I said. Pain cannot be avoided, and kalpas cannot be avoided. Perhaps this is the predestined law."

I was stunned, and Cai Weng next to me spoke first, "Master, I don't understand."

The national teacher smiled slightly, "I didn't say it to you, you don't need to understand it. Feng Shu, I'm afraid this journey will be difficult. You can take Cai Weng with you. He has never been outside the Great Wall, so he can go and have a look." good."

I don't want to take Caiweng with me, because I'm afraid this journey will not be easier than before. Caiweng has suffered a lot with me, and the national teacher is not in good health, so I want Caiweng to stay.But the national teacher was firm, and the next day Cai Weng still got on the carriage to the North Kingdom with me.

I got into the carriage, and suddenly got off the carriage again and ran forward.The people didn't know why, Haohao Tangtang and a group of people ran behind me.

"Ninth Prince, be careful!"

I ran all the way to Zangshu Pavilion and climbed up the stairs.Every time I go up a floor, I inevitably think of someone——

Lin Chongtan.

He used to compile ancient books here, spending a lot of effort.Every time I come to him, he is at his desk.He is always the first to arrive at Zangshu Pavilion every day and the last to leave.

I finally ran to the bookshelf where I stayed a few days ago, and took out the poetry collection I had put back.After I took it out, I put it in my arms, and ran to Huayang Palace without stopping.When I ran, I was out of breath.

Niu Xi walked to my side, "Ninth Prince, what are you looking for?"

I didn't answer his words, panting, walked to an open space in the back garden, squatted down, and started digging with bare hands.Seeing this, Niu Xi immediately asked everyone to dig together.

"Ninth Prince, did you find this?" After some time, someone held out a bunch of things and shouted.

I turned my eyes and saw that it was the snow bead I was looking for.I took it from the other party and counted the snowballs one by one, "One is missing."

As soon as everyone heard this, they all started looking for the last snowdrop. After about half an hour, all the snowdrops were found.

I wrapped the snowdrops in a handkerchief, held my breath, and said, "You can go."

Back in the carriage, Niu Xi came over with a water handkerchief and wiped my hands.Niu Xi knew Xuezhu, but he didn't ask any questions.Cai Weng watched curiously as I put the snowballs into the box. Over the past few years, the snowballs have not changed at all, and there is no sign of rot or rust.With just a swipe, it will return to smooth appearance.

Cai Weng tilted his head to look at it for a long time, and suddenly went to pick it up. I was afraid that it would swallow the snowdrops, so I hurriedly stopped it, "You can't eat this, you...you will get sick if you eat it."

"I don't want to eat it, so I'll take a look." Cai Weng looked at me, "Can you give me two? I want to make a nest."

I was very embarrassed to reject Cai Weng, and to make up for it, I removed the deep sea pearl from my crown.Cai Weng looked at the deep sea pearl in my hand, and then at the snow pearl in the box. He seemed very conflicted. After a long time, he still accepted the deep sea pearl in my hand.

Along the way, Cai Weng seems to like the deep sea pearl quite a bit. I have seen him hide the deep sea pearl under his butt many times.It is probably the most relaxed mood on this trip. During the day, it will stand on the window lattice and let the wind blow its feathers head-on.

I have something on my mind, so I can only turn over the Book of Songs given to me by the national teacher. Some of them are not enough, so I copy them with pen and ink.

Under the stars and the moon for days, our group finally arrived at the border of the Northland.As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw the people from the Northland who came to greet me.They all rode big horses, and the leader was someone I knew.
