Jun Jiuling

There are such incredible things in the world!

Ning Yan looked at the two men standing in the court hall, feeling a little bit overwhelmed.

These two men were dressed differently from other officials. One man had greasy hair tied into a small braid, was tall and stout, and was wearing a leather robe. He was obviously a barbarian. Because his skin was dark and rough, it was impossible to tell how old he was. , and the other, although also wearing a Hu suit, is a Han Chinese with neat hair and a fair face.

An urgent report was sent a while ago, saying that the Jinren demanded a truce.

This news is undoubtedly great news for the emperor.

It is also good news for officials in the DPRK and China, after all, no one likes to fight.

Ning Yan was also very relieved that Jin Ren was willing to seek peace, which was intimidated by Cheng Guogong, so he must take this opportunity to teach Jin Ren a lesson.

After several court meetings, the cabinet went through the process and sent a letter of agreement. After a while, the envoy of the Jinren came to the capital. The Ministry of Rites handed over the letter of credence of the Jinren.

After all, the golden man's summation means the victory of the Great Zhou and the glory. Of course, the emperor refused to let go of this opportunity, especially when he was worried and anxious for so long.

The court officials were also very happy. After solving this matter, they don't have to worry about it, and they can reward their merits, so they can have a good year.

But things don't seem to be what they imagined.

The barbarians came forward, neither saluting nor bowing their heads, and murmured unrulyly, the tone didn't sound like begging.

The interpreter who was waiting with him translated the barbarian's words, and everyone in the hall was stunned.

"...to form an alliance and be friendly, and not to mess with each other. First, the internal and external exchanges should be equal, and the market should be open." The interpreter said softly.

Equal intercourse between China and China is to open and close the mutual market. Since Cheng Guogong has guarded the north and strictly inspected the border, not to mention the mutual market, even smuggling has disappeared.

At the beginning, this move not only caused great losses to the Jin people, but also the wealthy merchants in the Northland. Gentlemen of business and countryside.

"Crafting and deceitful, merchants seek profits, and penetrate every corner. At the beginning, the gold thieves went south to buy merchants as their internal response. They destroyed my three cities, killed my officials and people, and finally captured my majesty in the trapped city. Now, if you dare to instigate chaos in the city for self-interest, you will dare to betray the country in the future." , and the gold thieves used the furs of horses to feed and clothe themselves, and exchanged my gold and silver mines to forge heavy weapons and armors, no doubt nourishing the enemy with my blood, and there will be endless troubles."

Cheng Guogong said so in his memorial to the court.

When it comes to what happened back then, plus the criminal evidence of these merchants collaborating with the enemy sent by Cheng Guogong, no one can argue whether it is true or not. Everyone knows that Cheng Guogong is killing chickens to scare monkeys, so let it go, and the emperor rewarded He praised Cheng Guogong.

Since then, no one in the North has dared to do business with the Jin people, and life has become more and more difficult for the Jin people who are short of supplies.

Originally, some people impeached Cheng Guogong and said that this move would affect the military horses, thereby affecting the strength of the generals of the Zhou Dynasty, but there were no horses in the north in the past ten years. Horses can be raised in the west and southwest, and the quality and quantity are considerable. Gradually, there are no horses. Speaking of this matter again, with the stability of the situation, Jiangnan is becoming more and more prosperous, and the north and south are connected. The supplies from the Jin people are dispensable to Dazhou, and they are completely despised.

In the past, the market was forced not to open, but now there is no interest in opening the market at all.

What did the golden messenger mean?

Is this a request or... a request?

Why doesn't that sound right?

"The mutual market is not impossible..." an official said after some consideration.

But he was interrupted by Ning Yan before he finished speaking.

"Mutual markets are not allowed." He said with a solemn expression, "The shortage of supplies can be resolved through negotiation."

The emperor coughed lightly, and such things as the stock market were not important to him.

"Let him finish," he said on the screen.

Ning Yan and others bowed in response, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites signaled the Jin envoy to continue.

The Jin envoy had already listened to the interpreter whisper a few words, and his face became even more aggressive, with a bit of a sneer, and he said a few words in a babble.

When the barbarian's words fell, several people in the hall uttered ah, although their voices were small, they caused a commotion, and the censors who were in charge of order and etiquette in the court looked dissatisfied, and saw the expressions of those people. appalled.

These few people are not high-ranking officials, they seem to understand some nonsense, and obviously understand what the envoy said.

What is it? Let them get carried away and make a faux pas?

While the court officials were thinking about it, the voice of the interpreter had already sounded.

"The second request of my Dajin is to redraw the border, and Baozhou, Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Qingzhou, Qizhou, and Hejian Prefectures return my Dajin." He said.

The border was redrawn and the six counties were ceded.

Where is this here to surrender and negotiate a peace? This is clearly here to make demands and provocations.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then an uproar.

But it wasn't over yet, the golden envoy waved his hands and shouted a few more words.

This time the voice of the interpreter also became louder.

"If not, I, Dajin, will gather another 50,000 men to go south, and I will not stop until I regain the old place." He shouted.

As soon as the words fell, the noisy court fell silent, and everyone looked at the golden envoy in astonishment, including the emperor on the dragon chair.

Many places in this northern land were once occupied by Jin people, and they were taken back by Cheng Guogong. They have occupied it, but it does not mean that it belongs to them. It is really shameless to call these six counties old places.

There are such incredible things in the world!

But there's something even more shocking than incredible.

50,000 gold soldiers will gather and go south again, and they will never die.

Again.

Calculated in this way, what Da Zhou will face is the 100,000 gold army.

One hundred thousand!

This is not a surrender, this is clearly a threat!

After a while of silence, there was an uproar in the hall again.

"Bold!"

"absurd!"

"The thief slave is so bold!"

Ning Yan and others scolded one after another.

Compared to the anger, surprise and panic of other people in the court, Ning Yunzhao's expression remained the same.

"Just say, there will be no good news." He whispered.

…………………………………….

Through the stone windows, the sudden laughter of the women came in, and the sweet fragrance lingered in their nostrils.

Miss Jun looked away from the window, looked at the shopkeeper and sighed softly.

"Thieves really don't die." She said, "If that's the case, then just mobilize your troops to fight, and why go to the capital to show off your might?"

"It's a threat." The shopkeeper said.

Miss Jun sneered.

"Using the people of the country as a threat, is he scaring people or committing suicide?" She said, "If the emperor... the first emperor is still there, the court can behead this envoy and throw his head back to where the gold thief is."

Unlike the emperor's uncle, who has always acted benevolently.

The shopkeeper nodded.

"Yeah, even if you pay another 50,000, how can you be sure that you will win." He said, "It's just that the battle is more intense and lasts longer."

Miss Jun stood up.

"What about the time, Cheng Guogong and others spent nearly ten years expelling the Jin people and taking back the Northland, at worst it will take another ten years." She said, "Who is afraid of whom."

It was obviously not good news, but the shopkeeper couldn't help laughing.

"Miss Jun is not afraid of a woman, and of course we men are even less afraid." He laughed.

"Mr. Cheng is not afraid." Miss Jun said, "Don't worry."

The shopkeeper laughed.

"I was supposed to tell Miss that." He smiled, and with the joking, the tension when he received the news dissipated.

"The road is still uneven. If you have any problems, don't run back and forth. I'll go where you are." Miss Jun reminded again, "You are ordinary people after all."

We are common people? What about you? The shopkeeper was startled, could it be officers and soldiers?

"Yes." He bowed in response.

Opening the door and walking into the yard, laughter came even more, and two women saw him and brought a box.

"The shopkeeper took the newly made cakes and tasted them." They laughed.

The shopkeeper was not polite either, he took it with a smile, and couldn't help but look at the woman sitting in front of the main room basking in the sun.

When he came, he noticed that this was a strange woman.

Seeing him looking over, the woman also looked over and nodded slightly to him.

The shopkeeper subconsciously bowed his head to salute, and he was a little dazed after the salute. His reaction seemed to be instinctive, because of the woman's aura?

Although she was wearing the kind of rustic flowered jacket and cotton skirt worn by women in the village, she was extraordinarily imposing.

Who is this man?

He was hesitating whether to ask or not, when he saw someone rushing in.

"Miss Jun." The thin villager said with a crisp voice, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, "a letter from the city."

This is the letter delivered by the carrier pigeon.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, a letter came from home as soon as he went out? Should have just received it.

Any news?

Miss Jun took the letterbox and opened it, and her expression changed drastically after just one look.

"Ridiculous!" she shouted, and threw the letter paper in the letter box in her hand to the ground.

The chatter and laughter in the yard stopped, and everyone looked over, surprised and then uneasy.

This lady is so angry for the first time.

What happened?
