Chapter 967

"Emperor, sanbulachuan city is not far from Shicheng, and that is, Duke Zhongdan can stand firm there. He must have military strength as the backing. If you can ask him to do it, it must be that transporting grain is not helping the war. The problem should not be very big." Xu Youzhen stood up and said in a speculative tone. What is important is that he emphasized one thing, that is, Yang Chendong will not help Beiming, but just help transport grain and grass.

This is also to block Zhu Qiyu's mouth and explain the matter first. It may be fun to help transport grain, but don't mention it if you help Beiming send troops to fight the warla department. Because this is not what Yang Chendong meant.

Originally, after hearing Yang Chendong's name, Zhu Qiyu had such an idea that Zhongdan sent troops to help. Your title was given to you by Daming. Now Daming has something to do. It's not too much to transfer your troops, but I know that I may think too much after listening to Xu Youzhen's words. But he still wants to try his best. After all, if Yang Chendong is really willing to participate in the war, he will not say whether he can win the war first, but at least pull a person to share the firepower.

But before Zhu Qiyu could speak, Shi Heng, the general's governor, stood up, hugged his fist and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Shangshu's words are very reasonable. Zhongdan Gong can help us transport food and grass. Just three don't stab Sichuan city for two months. Our army will arrive. At that time, the situation will be completely reversed. At that time, our army can win, and our army in the northern Ming Dynasty no longer needs any help."

Shi Heng will suddenly stand up, but it's not that he has discussed with Xu Youzhen in advance. He just doesn't want Yang Chendong to take advantage of it. In his eyes, the army of Beiming is powerful and invincible. One day, even Zhongdan Gong and his five-star army will be trampled under their feet. But if he owes the other party a big favor now, this battle will be fought in the future How?

Shi Heng said this in the long run. As the main representative of the military, Zhu Qiyu knew that it was impossible to ask Zhongdan Gong to send troops to the war. He had to nod and say, "well, that's right, Xu Aiqing, according to your words, who should be sent to lobby with Zhongdan Gong?"

As he spoke, Zhu Qiyu looked at the courtiers again and again. It's just a pity that many courtiers didn't even lift their heads. In their hearts, it's not a good job to ask Zhongdan Gong for help.

"Emperor, this idea was conceived by the minister, and the minister is naturally willing to go." in order to take this opportunity to explore Yang Chendong's strength, Xu Youzhen naturally wants to go. Other courtiers are unwilling to go, but let him spend less time and don't worry about someone competing with him.

It was Xu Youzhen who took the initiative to stand up. Zhu Qiyu was very happy. Thinking about meeting loyal officials in times of crisis, he attached more importance to Xu Youzhen. He thought that this person was promoted by himself after he was in the top position, and maybe he could be given more reuse. At that time, he announced that Xu Youzhen was appointed as an imperial envoy. He went to Shicheng to discuss with Zhongdan Gong about the assistance of food and grass in Sichuan city. For convenience , Xu Youzhen was given the right to act expediently and to mobilize the troops of the Xuanfu government.

Xu Youzhen knelt to the ground and shouted long live. Zhu Qiyu, who was very satisfied, was even happier and gently nodded to Jin Ying, who was bending aside. The eunuch manager immediately understood and shouted, "retreat from the dynasty. Xu Shangshu, please stay. Your majesty wants to see you."

Other courtiers shouted long live the emperor and left. Xu Youzhen walked straight back to the palace and ran into Jin Ying, the eunuch manager who came to meet him. The other party smiled and said in a congratulatory tone, "congratulations on Xu Shangshu's being an imperial envoy."

"Hey, what father-in-law Jin said was to do business for the emperor. Where he mentioned congratulations, it should be the same." Xu Youzhen smiled and said, a thousand Liang silver note was sent from his hand to Jin Ying's hand.

After glancing at the silver note in her hand, Jin Ying's expression showed more joy, "Xu Shangshu is really the pillar of the country. Don't worry, that is, Xu Shangshu has a heart. My father-in-law, who should help, will help."

"Thank you very much." Xu Youzhen hugged her fist and thanked her. They almost went back to the hall in parallel.

Zhu Qiyu had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw Xu Youzhen coming, he couldn't hide a look of joy in his eyes. When all the ministers had nothing to do, he could stand up and find a way to solve the problem and was willing to shoulder the heavy burden. With these, he should pay more attention to it. "Come on, give Xu Aiqing a seat."

"I dare not." Xu Youzhen immediately showed a look of fear. He said that this was the first time he was given a seat when he met the emperor.

"Hey, Xu Shangshu, it's the emperor's kindness. You can stand up in times of crisis. You need to get the seat." Jin Ying, who had just received the silver, immediately stood up and said in a round voice.

Originally, Xu Youzhen, who was polite, showed a very grateful look. Even her eyes were red. It was like tears that would be appreciated soon. "Thank you, emperor, thank you."

Xu Youzhen's ass sat on the chair, and then naturally there was a scene of great joy between kings and ministers.

"Xu Aiqing, I'm very relieved that you can take the initiative to come up with ideas and take over the job this time. But I don't know how sure you are that you can persuade Zhongdan Gong to deliver food and grass for our army?" Zhu Qiyu asked with expectation in his eyes.

Although Xu Youzhen was sitting on the chair, he still looked frightened. Seeing the emperor ask, he quickly replied, "about 50% if you return to the emperor?"

"Fifty percent? Is there only so much?" Zhu Qiyu, who frowned, was obviously a little dissatisfied. In this way, isn't it likely to be rejected? If so, as the emperor, his orders were rejected by his subordinates, which is not a matter of prestige.

That is, as the emperor, it is very important to face. Or if you know you can't do it, you'd better not do it. At least if you lose face, you'll still be there. It's better than losing everything and being laughed at in private.

Yu Guang of Xu Youzhen has been paying attention to the change of Zhu Qiyu's face. Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although you said that you don't have to take part in the war this time, it's no different from going to the battlefield to transport the food and grass to the besieged sanbulachuan city. I really don't have enough confidence to convince him. Besides, you know, I haven't been in harmony with him. I've played with him before. I'm not a good lobbyist, if I can , could the emperor consider going there by another person? "

Xu Youzhen wants to express his intention to advance by retreating. He is ready to make a request. If he can't take the initiative in his hand, can he talk about it?

Zhu Qiyu naturally knows about the discord between Xu Youzhen and Yang Chendong. This is also an important reason why he can safely promote this person. This time, he sent him to Shicheng, so he doesn't have to worry that they will collude. This is also the reason why he promised each other to be so happy as an imperial envoy.

Now I heard that Xu Youzhen had to shirk the responsibility. Zhu Qiyu said, "what does Xu Aiqing mean? I have just given the will in front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. How can I take it back at will. I think you can go ahead. If you have any requirements, you can mention them now. As long as you can let Zhongdan help transport grain, you can talk about any conditions."

Zhu Qiyu also had no choice. Not only was he optimistic that Xu Youzhen was the right candidate, but the important thing was that other courtiers didn't mean to go. Although he was the emperor, he could decide at will and call the courtiers to go, no one dared to refuse. But what good results could there be under pressure? If he screwed up his job, he didn't even have to eat regret medicine.

It was Xu Youzhen who came up with the idea. The way was what he thought and recommended himself. He must have been mentally prepared. Where is the need to give up the right candidate and use others.

Zhu Qiyu agreed to put forward the conditions and requirements. Xu Youzhen and others said this sentence. Then he stood up, held his fist and said solemnly: "I have a method to ensure that Zhongdan can send troops and transport food and grass."

"Guarantee? But 100% assurance?" Zhu Qiyu asked with bright eyes.

"Yes, it's 100% sure." Xu Youzhen said in an open tone.

"OK, let's listen." Zhu Qiyu agreed without a hot head. Instead, he had to listen to what the requirements were. It can be seen that he had learned to be calm and to keep his hands on everything in recent years.

With a tangled face, Xu Youzhen, who didn't answer immediately, changed from standing to kneeling and fell to the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, I don't have any selfishness in my next words. Just for the strength and future of Beiming Dynasty, please forgive me first."

"Xu Aiqing, what does this mean? It was originally the meeting between our kings and ministers, not the discussion of the court. If there is anything, I forgive you for your innocence." Zhu Qiyu said aloud.

"Thank you, Emperor. That's it. My only request is that the emperor grant Duke Zhongdan the right to be the king of the Ming Dynasty. With this request, I can promise to persuade Duke Zhongdan to use for us and send troops and grain." seeing that the time was right, Xu Youzhen, kneeling on the ground, told me what he had already prepared to say.

Although Zhu Qiyu had made some preparations and knew that he had to pay some price if he wanted to reach 100% from 50%. But when he heard Xu Youzhen's invitation, he still had an indelible anger on his face: "what, the king? How is it possible?"

It's no wonder Zhu Qiyu was so angry. The Ming Dynasty stopped the granting of kings with different surnames after Taizu. How can this rule be easily broken from him? Xu Youzhen's proposal is too absurd.
