"New Emperor, why is the seal on the booklet different from the last one?"

Mao Ji, the Minister of Rites, stroked his beard. The seals of the Tang and Song dynasties were large seal scripts, but the ones printed on the book were nine stacks of seal scripts.

The new emperor won’t sell other people’s territory?

Li Dongyang also came over, and the seal was covered with nine stacks of seals. When Zhan Shifu taught, he knew that Zhu Houzhao had the ability to engrave seals.

However, the court cannot let the new emperor lose his prestige and live up to the high hopes of the Supreme Emperor.

"I don't know whether the rubbing is true or false. Maybe someone pretended to be passed into the palace. I thought it would be true."

Xie Qian also understood something, the new emperor can really cause trouble.

"I think what Mr. Li said is extremely true. How can there be a king without a country? How can a king sell his territory?"

Yan Chengjin knew that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian did not believe it.

After the court was dispersed, Zhu Houguan looked at Yan Chengjin: "Old Gao, don't you believe me?"

"Send Gu Dayong to find the envoys of the Tang and Song dynasties,"

According to time, in October, the Tang and Song dynasties will be sent to the capital to complete the tribute.

It is late September, and Wang Jian has basically entered the jurisdiction of Baoding Prefecture. He admitted this memorial in the court, so the funeral will not be difficult.

"But in this way, wouldn't I be exposed to the envoys of the Tang and Song dynasties?"

"The new emperor is exposed, not considered exposed."

"..." Zhu Houzhao.

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao likes to write letters to the Tang and Song dynasties, and all officials know about it.

An hour later, Gu Dayong rode his fast horse south.

...

Cabinet, room.

Wang Qiong picked up the porcelain pot in his hand and poured a cup of tea for each Grand Secretary like a waiter in the inn. Then he smiled and sat back in his seat.

Zhang Sheng's eyelids trembled, and he was a little disdainful to be with Wang Qiong.

Han Wen seemed to have been used to it for a long time, while Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were all indifferent.

"The Tang and Song dynasties wanted to sell the country, but the officials thought it was true or false?" Cui Yan asked.

"Since my brother beat Yu met Yan Chengjin, he felt that everything had opportunities. Maybe he was about to die, so he sold it to me." Wang Qiong joked.

It’s not a puppy to sell his land.

Perhaps it will die, and use the land for the money to run away.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian exchanged glances. The dukes didn't know that Zhu Houzhao had engraved seals. They had known that they had been the imperial sects of the Eastern Palace.

“…No need to discuss this matter.”

The six cabinet ministers each served as a minister, and Wang Qiong was also the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. They were very concerned about this matter and didn't know what they were thinking.

At this time, the little eunuch walked in with a map in his arms, "Masters, the new emperor said this is the territory that the Tang and Song dynasties were going to sell. How much money should I calculate?"

Li Dongyang opened his eyes and took a few glances.

Is this the territory of the Tang and Song dynasties?

How did you know the difference from the envoys? Ordered people to go to the Honglu Temple and invited Hong Yuan, who had been on the Tang and Song dynasties twice.

"This is not the territory of the Tang and Song dynasties."

While everyone was hunching their eyebrows, Hong Yuan continued: "The disputes between small countries in the Western Regions are complicated, and the territory may be expanded."

What Hong Yuan didn't know was that he was in his hand with the Ottomans and the maps of the surrounding countries.

………

Baoding Prefecture,

Wang Jian took out the books he learned from his heart,

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Stop, let's talk to you something."

When they lifted the curtains and saw a familiar eunuch's face, both of them were stunned. Gu Dayong said first:

"Why are you again? Didn't you tell me to change someone?"

"………No one is left." Wang Jian.

The Jinyiwei stopped the caravans and horses, and several imperial guards took Wang Jian into the woods, and then retreated five hundred steps away.

Gu Dayong used an inaudible voice and said, "I asked me to bring a message. Tell me that the Tang and Song dynasties will sell their territory to the court."

Wang Jian looked solemn: "What is Eunuch Gu talking about?"

"Stop pretending, we know everything."

Wang Jian's heart was stern: "The officials really don't know what Eunuch Gu is talking about."

"We all know the detailed work hidden in the court of the Tang and Song dynasties, that is, the new emperor."

Wang Jian's mouth moved slightly, was the detailed works of the Tang and Song dynasties in the court? Is it today?

"... The teacher has not said that, thank you, Eunuch Gu for your announcement, can you have a certificate?"

"..." Gu Dayong.

He snorted and took out a secret letter from his arms.

Wang Jian carefully looked from the beginning, and his handwriting was undoubtedly passed down by his mentor, and he was very strict with the taxes of the current national treasury in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Since my mentor was also ordered by the new emperor...

"What should the new emperor want the subordinate to do?"

"Ten million taels are traded for the territory of the Tang and Song dynasties."

During the Warring States Period, the six countries often traded cities.

I heard from my senior brother that the army captured a large area of ​​Ottoman territory and would return it to the Ming Dynasty.

"There are other instructions?"

"If any of the dukes ask about it, they will ask the envoys to go to the Tang and Song dynasties to seek the truth."

...

Early in the morning, the cabinet is in charge.

"The seal has changed, but the official documents are the same."

Li Dongyang looked at the book and looked at Mao Ji, the Minister of Rites next to him: "Is it really from Wang Jian?"

"Yes, Tang and Song really want to sell their country."

Mao Ji was also incredible. There were still monarchs in the world who despised the territories that were too large. It seemed that he heard that jackals, tigers and leopards had changed to eat grass. He couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't figure it out...

Wang Qiong took the magnifying glass and looked around: "Good thing!"

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked at each other and always felt that it was too simple.

A moment later, Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Houzhao summoned Wang Jian, an envoy of the Tang and Song dynasties, and smiled and said, "I have long said that it is the true intention, but you don't believe it."

The ministers stood on both sides and looked at Wang Jian with sympathy. The king was about to treason.

Although Zhu Houzhao is angry, it is better than being a minister of a country that has been destroyed.

"Mr. Wang, I will ask you again. Is it the decree of the king of Tang and Song dynasties?" Li Dongyang looked serious.

Wang Jian bowed slightly, "There is no king in the Tang and Song dynasties, but it's just the will of his mentors."

When I was in the capital, I heard that Li Dongyang was good at strategy, and his head was almost buried in his chest and his eyes were missing.

"Mr. Li doesn't believe it, so he can go on an envoy himself."

There was a little uproar in the hall.

It was said from Wang Jian that the dukes dispelled the last trace of doubts and sent envoys to the Tang and Song dynasties to prove it. It was impossible to fake it, right?

It seems that Tang and Song dynasties are really short of money.

Today, the imperial court owns two silver mines, the island state and the Mangala, with more silver reserves than those of the Tang and Song dynasties.

"Why might as well report to the Supreme Emperor first?" Xie Qian asked.

"My father counts back to the left of Qianqing Palace, and the third side hall, thank you master." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

"..." Yan Chengjin.

Xie Qian's eyes shone, bowed slightly, and walked out of the hall with great strides. Li Dongyang and Zhang Sheng followed closely. Soon, only Zhu Houzhao and Yan Chengjin were left in the hall.

"Then I issued an order?"

"New Emperor, wait, Mr. Rong asked if he could make less money?" Wang Qiong said hurriedly.

"..." Wang Jian.

As military pay for the Tang and Song dynasties, Zhu Houzhao naturally would not reduce the silver. Soon, Wang Qiong gave an order to go to the national treasury to receive the silver.

In a side hall in the harem, Li Dongyang pushed open the door and walked in. The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was reading a book, looking up at everyone with a look of surprise.

"I am here to report that the new emperor wants to buy the territory of the Tang and Song dynasties."

"Since ancient times, when did you hear about buying territory thousands of miles away? What did the imperial court want to do in that territory?"

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian said one after another.

The territory of the Oirat and Tatars is still endless, and according to the current population of the imperial court, it is difficult to move to the Western Regions.

From this point of view, the territory of the Tang and Song dynasties was useless.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi stood up and said, "Let Houzhao decide."
