The next day.
Li Shimin went to Xizhimen to inspect the defense.
Shi Heng's 10,000 men were outside the city, ready to fight at any time.
This is the city gate that faces the Wala army and is most likely to be attacked.
"See Your Majesty!"
Yu Qian and others on the city wall saluted Li Shimin one after another, with a little more admiration in their hearts.
What happened in the past few days, in the minds of the ministers of the capital, can be summarized as follows: The foolish king, who was carried away by his mind, led the remaining soldiers and weak generals to die!
Zhu Qiyu, who did not know the heights of the world, ventured out of the city with 10,000 imperial guards! The new emperor, who had just ascended the throne, led his elite troops to ambush the enemy! His majesty, who had no clues, killed 5,000 enemies in Badaling! The supreme Ming emperor returned to his loyal capital!
Everyone has experienced a big ups and downs in their hearts.
From the disappearance of the emperor to the news of victory.
Yu Qian and others thought they were dreaming.
King Xi, who had never led an army before, and now His Majesty the Emperor, actually won the first battle..
And it was an unprecedented victory!
The importance of this victory greatly inspired the morale of the soldiers defending the city.
The soldiers saw the hope of winning.
"His Majesty."
Yu Qian and others followed Li Shimin closely.
Of course, the sequelae after this battle were also obvious.
That is, the emperor Li Shimin was being followed.
As long as he left the palace, ministers would follow him closely.
For fear that the emperor would come again. Suddenly disappeared and ran outside the city to fight with Wala.
Yu Qian had repeatedly expressed to Li Shimin that his heart was not good, and he asked your majesty not to stimulate him anymore.
"Report!"
The messenger ran over and knelt down in front of the emperor.
Wala's special envoy came with a handwritten letter from Ye Xian.
He said he wanted to discuss how to return Zhu Qizhen.
Li Shimin and Yu Qian looked at each other, and the other party came back with this trick. ?
If he were also present first, he would definitely say.
The tricks are not new, they just work.
Indeed, Li Shimin and Yu Qian can't turn a blind eye to them.
The Imperial Palace.
Empress Dowager Sun couldn't wait to come to Fengtian Hall, but this time She was sitting on the lower left side of the dragon chair.
She knew that Zhu Qizhen was outside the city at the moment, in the military camp of Oala.
However, mother and son were only ten miles apart, but they could not see each other.
In the heart of the Queen Mother, there was not a glimmer of hope.
Just in case. , can you negotiate terms to send Zhu Qizhen back!
"Presumptuous, why don’t you kneel down when you see the Ming Emperor!"
When the courtiers in the palace saw Envoy Walat standing upright in the middle, they shouted
"presumptuous!"
"I don’t know the dignity and inferiority!"
In this regard, Special Envoy Wala just saluted the Empress Dowager Sun and said leisurely
"emperor?
All I know is that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is in our military camp.
I came here this time to discuss the return."
The arrogant attitude is evident.
Some ministers scolded
"The new emperor has ascended the throne, why don’t you pay your respects quickly!"
The envoy who wanted to sow discord just sneered.
"What kind of new emperor, I don’t know.
We in Wala only recognize His Majesty the Emperor in the military camp."
After a pause, he continued to speak to Queen Mother Sun.
"Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, this is a personal letter from our Grand Master.
If Ming Dynasty can meet the above requirements, the Grand Master promises that it will be returned to His Majesty the Emperor immediately."
After that, he bowed. He looked unruly on the surface, but in fact he was panicking.
In fact, he wanted to run away, but there was still a task to be completed.
The ministers around him were gnashing their teeth, and they all wanted to talk about him on the spot. Crushed bones and ashes.
How dare Special Envoy Wala dare to stay longer?
Before he came, he had heard that it was these civil servants who beat the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ma Shun, to death on the spot.
"His Majesty."
Eunuch Xing'an, who is now the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, presented the letter.
Li Shimin just glanced at it and lost interest.
Then he handed the letter to the eager Queen Mother Sun, but her eyes dimmed after reading it.
Also The conditions in advance were read one by one by the ministers.
"Three million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver!
What a big appetite first!"
"Isn't he afraid of being stretched to death?"
"Insatiable, insatiable!"
After the ministers read Ye Xian's conditions, they just kept scolding them.
They looked at the Wala envoy angrily, as if they wanted to kill him with their eyes!
"The Grand Master said that the conditions are not non-negotiable.
We are very sincere and hope that the Queen Mother can send influential people to the military camp to discuss.
For example, Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War.
If it were anyone else, the Grand Master would think Mingren was insincere."
After that, Special Envoy Wala bowed and withdrew.
Silence fell in the hall.
Do we want to talk?
No, but the Emperor cannot always fall into the hands of the enemy.
Every time Zhu Qizhen stayed with the enemy for one more day, Sun The Queen Mother's heart ached for a day.
She looked at Yu Qian and asked in a low voice
"Couldn't we negotiate and rescue the Supreme Emperor?
Maybe Wala had previously destroyed five thousand cavalry, and they were afraid?"
The implication is to let Yu Qian go to the enemy camp to negotiate.
"Queen Mother, you must not do this!"
"Queen Mother, this is Ye Xian’s treacherous plan!"
Some ministers among the ministers shouted, begging Queen Mother Sun not to be gullible!
Not to mention the huge amount that Wala asked for, millions of gold and tens of millions of silver.
It was almost the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty for five years.
Even one-tenth , the ministers were reluctant to part with it.
After all, the Supreme Emperor is no longer that important in the hearts of everyone.
The emperor now sitting on the Dragon Throne is much stronger than Zhu Qizhen in all aspects.
It cost so much to redeem a mascot.
No. It’s worth it!
What’s more, Yu Qian is now in charge of the defense of the capital.
What if he goes to the military camp to negotiate and is detained first?
"Don’t you care about the safety of the Supreme Emperor?"
The Queen Mother looked at the officials who declined and couldn't help but get angry.
The words"unfaithful and unfilial" were just a few words away from her mouth.
"Queen Mother, you must not let Mr. Yu put your body in danger."
"I am willing to negotiate on your behalf!"
"The lower official is also willing!"
Soon, two people were selected to replace Yu Qian and go to the Wala camp for negotiations.
However, the image of the Queen Mother and her son in the hearts of the ministers declined again.
Let's not talk about the son Beishou. At present, he only cares about the safety of his son.
He regards hundreds of thousands of defenders and hundreds of thousands of people as nothing.
In the hall, Li Shimin didn't say a word, but the ministers all had choices in their hearts.
The Supreme Emperor?
I'm sorry, we Not familiar with me.
Please don’t contact me in the future. We’re afraid that the new emperor will misunderstand you!
"Disperse the dynasty."
Li Shimin watched the Empress Dowager Sun leave, with a little more contempt in his eyes.
He finally understood why Zhu Qizhen became like this. It turned out that he was the master of women in the palace. He only knew how to pamper and not educate.
The harem Women have a distinctive characteristic, and they are particularly good at fighting for power.
But when it comes to military and political affairs, the pattern seems very small.
Throwing these trivial matters behind, Li Shimin focused on the battlefield.
He found Shi that night Heng
"Are you all ready?"
"Your Majesty, you are ready to go at any time"
"Follow the plan!"
"promise!"
Shi Heng turned around and left, faithfully implementing Li Shimin's strategic plan.
