Chapter 815
Since meeting with Chen Yizhong, Liu Mengyan has been waiting for him to send back the "good news", but before the good news was received, the Prince of Yiyang was temporarily banned and re-verified his identity; Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong were impeached by the Censorate for participating in it, and were suspended from office and banned from the mansion. When he wanted to contact Chen Yizhong again, he found that he had moved out of Shuizhu courtyard and disappeared.
"What's the noise outside? It's messy!" The morning before that, the inn was noisy outside the inn, which made Liu Mengyan, who was already upset, even more annoyed. He shouted at the followers outside the house.
"The great official, there is a group of tyrants who want to break into the inn, but they are stopped by the inn, so they are making noises!" a follower came in and reported.
"Why did Tai students go to the inn to cause trouble? It wasn't for us..." Liu Mengyan frowned and jumped up suddenly.
"Master, why?" He looked at him in a panic and puzzled manner.
"Check out the important things quickly and hide outside!" Liu Mengyan ordered while tidying up the fine and soft text.
"Grand officials, this is the inn of the Song Dynasty, and we are envoys of the Yuan Dynasty, how dare they trespass?" The followers still didn't understand what happened, and they actually scared him to such a thing.
"Why are there so much nonsense? Yesterday's tabloids were published. The little emperor of the Song Dynasty was assassinated in the hall. The assassin confessed that it was instructed by the Mongols. Those students from the selves came to us for a crime!" Liu Mengyan said furiously. He was a politician after all, and he still had this political sensitivity.
The day before yesterday, the "Imperial Daily" published a report of the assassination of the young emperor on the Jinshuyi. Yesterday, various tabloids in Lin'an reprinted the matter one after another, and said that the assassin was sent by the Mongolian Yuan, and the people were in a hurry. Liu Mengyan had a foreshadowing that he was ordered to go to the Song Dynasty, but the assassination of the king only happened after he reached Lin'an. He also tended to be an assassin sent by the Mongolians, but he secretly cursed Empress Dowager Nanbi, which clearly wanted to kill himself.
As for the troublemakers of Taishen, Liu Mengyan also knew that it had happened many times in the history of the Song Dynasty, and every time it would make a big deal, and the pursuit of court officials was not unavailable. He beat himself to death, a traitor and traitor, because of his character as a young emperor, not only would he not be punished, but would also be used with it. So he thought that hiding was the best strategy.
"Master, the postman cannot stop it. The student has already rushed in!" The attendant who was watching the fun outside the door just now suddenly found that he was coming to him. He was so scared that he rushed into his post house with a wheel and shouted.
"Protect the peacekeepers, protect the peacekeepers..." The in-person in the house quickly shouted to the accompanying guards, asking them to block the doors and windows to prevent anyone from rushing in. But during this time, he found that the high-ranking official was missing, and even the package he had just packed had not had time to take away.
However, how could the dozens of people from the peace delegation stop the more and more students and people gathered? They were quickly scrambled by the angry crowd and were beaten up. It was not safe for those who hid in the inn, and the doors and windows were quickly smashed open. Now it was too late to run away. They were pressed and beaten to death. All the furniture and items in the house were smashed.
The Tai students destroyed the inn where the Mongol Yuan envoy lived, but did not find Liu Mengyan. The crowd became even more angry and rushed out and searched everywhere in the inn. At this time, the yamen runners of Lin'an Prefecture received a report to reinforce, which temporarily controlled the situation and isolated the crowd. However, they still refused to disperse and continued to block the entrance of the inn, claiming that they would not give up until they caught the mastermind who assassinated the emperor.
"What should I do..." Liu Mengyan looked out through the crack in the window. Although he couldn't see the troublemakers, he could still hear people's angry shouts. The mosquitoes and fleas were caught in a big meal. He bit him all over, but he didn't dare to go out, worried that the mobs would return. However, he was secretly glad that he saw the opportunity, so he just put his seal in his arms and slipped out from the back door. He hid in the wood. They never thought that an envoy, the big country, would hide here. Otherwise, he would be beaten up if he was caught. With his little body, he would be killed on the spot.
"Who will assassinate the little emperor?" Liu Mengyan squatted on the ground and whispered at the mosquito with her sleeve. Judging from today's events, he felt something strange. Now, Empress Dowager Nambi presided over the government. He demanded peace talks and would never be sent to assassinate them. And Zhen Jin, who had just inherited the Khan throne, was still on the way back to Dadu. Even if he didn't want to argue, he should know the consequences of assassinating the little emperor, so he would not act blindly.
"Is it the little emperor directed and acted by himself?" Liu Mengyan raised his hand and slapped a mosquito falling on his face, scratched it and said softly. The little emperor has always been the main war, and Chen Yizhong made Wanmin Book a while ago to achieve the purpose of usurping power, and it was thought that it had been sent to the Queen Mother Yang. In order to impress the Queen Mother and continue to start the war, it was not impossible for the little emperor to make a bitter plan to blame the Meng Yuan, and this only requires a play, which is low in cost and quick results. But it is a bit wrong to think about it. The book ceremony is a court ceremony, and being disturbed is an unlucky sign. The little emperor would never choose this time to act.
"Damn it must be that guy Chen and Quan. He is so confused!" After thinking about it, Liu Mengyan thought of his partner. At the last meeting, he promised him to help him return to the court as soon as possible. But within a few days, his two generals Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong were both suspended, and he forced him to take the risk to kill the little emperor so that he could push the "fool" in his hand to the throne to reach a peace agreement.
"Idiot, trash, I've killed me!" After some thought, Liu Mengyan listed Chen Yizhong as the biggest suspect and cursed in his heart. It's okay to succeed, but now he has failed, and he has pushed the blame to the Mongolian Yuan side, almost getting beaten. The peace talks are probably ruined, and he is afraid that he will be detained in Jiangnan, and maybe he will be slaughtered as a traitor.
"Hanfu, Hanfu..."
"..." Liu Mengyan had been in the woodshed for no reason. She sat down when she was tired and lying down when she sat down. She didn't know if she was regret or hatred. She sighed and thought about how to escape this disaster. Suddenly she heard someone calling him outside the house. But she didn't dare to agree rashly, so as not to fall into the trap.
"Hanfu, Hanfu, I am Xu Qiuxin. Now it is safe. Your Majesty ordered me to come and visit!"
"Please, I am here, here!" Liu Mengyan understood this time. The person who came was Xu Zongren. He would not do anything to him for the sake of his former colleagues. He wanted to get up and go out, but his legs were weak and he fell down and responded while crawling.
"Hanfu, what's wrong?" After hearing the response, Xu Zongren asked the people who opened the woodshed and rushed forward with a look of eagerness and said.
"I really don't know how to save me and assassinate Your Majesty!" Liu Mengyan struggled to get up, pulled Xu Zongren's sleeve and begged.
"Your Majesty has issued an order to instruct the Imperial College Supervisor Hu Shenzhi, and ordered him to strictly restrain the Tai students, and ordered Wen Xiang to persuade the people to retreat. He also said that even if the two countries have not yet killed the envoys, smashing the residences of the envoys of the enemy country will not only lose the style of a great country, but also not in accordance with etiquette. He specially ordered me to come and apologize and compensate for the losses!" Xu Zongren said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Mengyan bowed again, letting go of his hungry heart, and it seemed that his life was saved.
When everyone returned to the post house, Liu Mengyan was crying but not crying. There were already guards from Lin'an Prefecture. The yard was in a mess and the postman was cleaning up. The guards and the accompanying men sat on the ground, and the doctors from the medical hospital were treating their injuries. Then, they saw that the doors and windows of the house were destroyed, all the houses in the house were destroyed, and clothes and books were thrown all over the ground.
"Hanfu, you ordered people to count the items, see what they lost or damaged, make a list, and make a compensation." Xu Zongren accompanied Liu Mengyan for a while and sighed.
"This..." Liu Mengyan's face looked very ugly and he was speechless. The former Mongolian Yuan envoys who went to other countries were arrogant and were treated as guests of honor by the countries involved. But he was so unlucky that he was not very coldly treated when he went to Qiongzhou for the last time, but this time he was smashed and his followers were all injured.
"Han Mou, I will arrange a separate residence for the delegation at the Tongwenguan, and I can move there in a short time." Xu Zongren bowed.
"Thank you for your heart!" Liu Mengyan also replied.
"I'm sorry, I'll ask you to go to arrange the hall, carriages, you can clean up first!" Xu Zongren apologized again and then left the room.
"Fortunately, they didn't turn over. This is fate!" After Xu Zongren left the room, Liu Mengyan immediately snatched into his dormitory a few steps. The place was also destroyed. The gold, silver and clothes that could not be taken away were scattered on the ground, but he had no intention of counting and picking it up, but he rushed under the bed, pulled out a small box from the corner, opened it tremblingly, and said with a deep breath.
There was really nothing to clean up after being smashed like this. Liu Mengyan, as an envoy of a country, was too stingy to be entangled in these trivial matters, so he asked his subordinates to count them, and made a list and handed them over to Xu Zongren. However, he didn't even look at it and handed them over to his subordinates to go to the office to buy them. All the lost property was paid as required and transferred them to the Tongwenguan.
The Song Dynasty established the Honglu Temple to receive, contact with foreign countries, and manage contributions, worship, etc. Its subordinates, Duting West Post, Huaiyuan Post, and Tongwenguan respectively received ethnic minorities and foreign envoys from all over the world, collectively known as Sifangguan. However, the conditions for Tongwenguan were the best, and it was a little apologized for the placement of Liu Mengyan here, which made him feel a little better, and at least he was safe.
"I have been to Lin'an City for more than a month, but I have not been able to see you. I'm very anxious to urge you there. I don't know what Your Majesty meant?" The Mongol Yuan delegation was placed in the most spacious Wu-character courtyard in the Tongwen Pavilion. Xu Zongren did not summon him immediately, but put wine to suppress his shock. After this change, Liu Mengyan found that Song Ting's attitude had changed greatly, far beyond the scope of expressing his apology. He asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty has not made a final decision on whether to hold a peace agreement with your country. He wants to make a decision after the Empress Dowager goes to Beijing. Han Mou waits for a few more days, and the Empress Dowager will come to Beijing." Xu Zongren poured his wine for him and raised his hand to invite him.
"Then your Majesty will also make some statements!" After drinking the same cup, Liu Mengyan took the wine pot and poured wine for Xu Zongren, and further inquired.
"To be honest, when Your Majesty returned to Beijing from Wuhu, he did not object to the peace talks. I still hope to reach a peace talks. I wanted to make a decision after convening a collective discussion. But you also know that His Majesty had a lot of things to do when he first returned to Beijing. First, Shangshu Yao and Shangshu Wei admitted that their relatives were confined, and then issued an edict to compile the genealogy, and then assassination occurred on the bookkeeping ceremony. The assassin confessed was sent by you, so it is hard to say about the peace talks." Xu Zongren ate the dish and sighed softly.
"The intention of asking for your heart is that Your Majesty once wanted to hold peace with our court?" Liu Mengyan said to Xu Zongren again. However, he cursed Chen Yizhong and others in his heart. They said that the little emperor had no intention of peace, but that he wanted to expand his army on a large scale to recover Jiangbei.
"That's natural. Han Mou should be clear that Qiongzhou is a corner of the sea, with manpower, financial resources and materials extremely scarce. The recovery of Jiangnan in this battle can be said to have been accumulated for ten years. How could he have the ability to capture Jiangbei again? Otherwise, how could he stop in Jiangling!" Xu Zongren sighed, "Although the army is now stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, it is also on the defensive, but in fact there is no intention to cross the river. Han Mou also knew that when the Mongolian and Song Dynasty were fighting, there were millions of troops stationed in the Huai area. If it weren't for the assassination and the Empress Dowager that had not arrived, I was afraid that the peace would have been launched!"
"Then why did you send troops to Taixing? In fact, it's just a precautionary measure and has no intention of crossing the river!" Liu Mengyan raised his glass and asked Xu Zongren to drink another cup.
"Han Tao, you have been appointed as the right prime minister." Xu Zongren sniffed a sip of wine and put down his glass and smiled, "Jiangnan has just been recovered, and people are not stable, and the people are even more worried about whether the court can defend the Yangtze River and block the Mongolian cavalry. But at this time, you will increase your troops to Taixing and take the initiative to cross the river. We know in our hearts, but the people are panicked, so we can only fight a war to calm the people's hearts. If Han Tao is in charge of the government, I am afraid that this will be done too!"
"Oh, why am I so stupid that I haven't figured out this joint!" Liu Mengyan was stunned for a moment, and said with his hands.
Thinking about the fact that after I was ordered to discuss peace, I tried my best to find this and contact that. I spent a lot of money, but the information I got was not as real as a few words from the banquet. What made Liu Mengyan even more annoyed was that Chen Yizhong actually deceived him and bewitched him to cooperate with the army, saying that he used public opinion to force the young emperor to agree to the peace. Now, when Xu Zongren said this, he suddenly woke up like a dream. Under this situation, even if the difficulties were great, he would have to send troops to stabilize the people's hearts.
