"Boom!"

There was a sudden sound in Fengtian Hall.

When the ministers heard this, they all turned around and saw an official sitting on the ground. His face was pale, he was sweating profusely, and his body could be clearly seen trembling.

This person is the Zuo Si Qing of Honglu Temple. He looked like he was frightened.

People immediately reacted. Your Majesty just said that anyone who is close to the Liang envoys, whoever colludes with them and accepts bribes...will be killed without mercy!

He was frightened.

Honglu Temple was the bureau responsible for foreign affairs. As Zuo Siqing, he had frequent contacts with Liang envoys, and his wealth and silk moved people's hearts, so it obviously fell.

"Boom!"

Just when people were surprised, another person sat on the ground, his posture was no different from that of Zuo Siqing before.

He was also frightened to the ground.

What surprises people is that there are more than one or two such people, and one after another people reveal their current situation.

What is Tianwei?

This is Tianwei, who can scare people into this state with just one word.

But such people really deserve to die!

Colluding with foreign envoys and accepting bribes is tantamount to treason.

"good!"

Guan Ning said calmly: "I just said something, and so many people took the initiative to explain."

"Someone, take him down!"

A group of guards immediately came in from outside the palace and dragged them down. Their whole figures seemed to have lost their support and could not even stand firmly...

"Those who haven't voluntarily confessed yet don't worry. They won't be able to escape in the end. Some crimes can be forgiven, while others cannot."

The courtiers' hearts were not only agitated, but almost in their throats.

There are also people who have a clear conscience and stand tall.

I don’t blame His Majesty for killing people, it’s actually because you really hit the knife’s edge.

The envoys from the Wei and Liang Kingdoms have been in Daning for a long time. They give people the impression that they are rich and powerful. What they do every day is to make friends with officials, especially officials in charge of foreign affairs like the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple. They are the main targets.

.

Those who eat are soft-mouthed and those who take advantage of others are short-handed.

As the principal, if you relax a little during negotiations, you may be able to relieve Liang Guo from a lot of pressure in the end.

Well now, they don't have such a chance.

Your Majesty has made his attitude clear and will not give Liang Guo a chance to seek peace.

What about Wei?

That shouldn’t be the case!

The Kingdom of Wei is different from the Kingdom of Liang. Concubine Ying was originally the seventh princess of the Kingdom of Wei. During the great victory in the northwest, Concubine Ying went to war as a commander-in-chief, thus gaining extremely high prestige.

The State of Wei is Concubine Ying's natal family, so we can't treat her the same way as the State of Liang.

Speaking of which, the former Crown Princess of Liang Kingdom also arrived in Daning, but the situation was different.

At this time, Guan Ning said: "Wei Jun also came to Beijing, but in the name of visiting relatives. In this case, I will give Wei Jun a chance to talk..."

After announcing these two major events, Guan Ning was no longer as solemn as before, but also relaxed a lot. However, the courtiers did not dare to relax and remained in a tense state.

In such anxiety, the court meeting ended.

It didn't last long, but it was about big things.

The most important thing is of course the passing of the examination. The implementation of such a drastic method does not yet know how much shock it will cause.

When the courtiers walked out of Fengtian Hall, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

He came out alive and escaped for the time being, but he should not take it lightly. The real investigation should have just begun.

This is something no one thought of.

The enthusiasm that was supposed to be a victory celebration was directly extinguished by His Majesty.

Following this, word of the court meeting spread very quickly.

In the post house where Liang Guo lived, Emperor Zhu Zhen of Liang Dynasty paced back and forth in the house. The years he spent guarding the imperial mausoleum were a good exercise for his state of mind. Even in times of rebellion, he could be calm.

Of.

But now he can't settle down.

Emperor Yuanwu showed up, and he would definitely mention his attitude towards the Wei and Liang Kingdoms in this court meeting.

What will it be?

Zhu Zhen was very worried that Emperor Yuanwu would open his mouth like a lion when he wanted to leave Beilin Province. Although he was ready and willing to pay the price, he was still a little reluctant to give up when it came to it.

Liang Guo needed these lands.

Just ceding land is still a good thing, but what if Daning demands a large amount of compensation?

Liang Guo couldn't afford it at all, so he could only pay it back in batches, or use other substitutes, such as grain, salt and iron...

Under the huge burden, Liang Guo could never stand up.

"Your Majesty, please see Ma Xi!"

Zhu Zhen's steps immediately stopped.

He knew that the court meeting was over and Ma Xi was the chief envoy, so he was out to inquire about the news.

"No courtesy, just say it directly."

"yes."

Ma Xi was slightly startled, knowing that His Majesty was really anxious. He took a deep breath, knelt down directly, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yuanwu has made it clear in the court meeting that we should leave Beijing within three days.

It is said that Daning does not accept Liang Guo’s peace proposal!

"

"Um?"

Zhu Zhen's expression changed drastically, and he lost his manners at this moment and asked directly: "Did he really say that?"

"yes!"

Ma Xi said: "The matter of the court meeting has spread, and Emperor Yuanwu also said that if we don't leave within three days,..."

"Just what?"

"There's no need to leave."

"this....."

Han Chong, the Minister of War of Liang State who came with him, said directly: "How could he say such a thing?"

Ma Xi gritted his teeth again and said: "Emperor Yuanwu also said at the court meeting that any official who dared to collude with us would be killed without mercy. At that moment, many officials were frightened to the ground, and among them were the officials who had worked hard to make friends with us.

Yu Zhen, the minister of Zuo Temple of Honglu Temple..."

He reported the situation, and Zhu Zhen's brows furrowed as he listened.

"Could this be Emperor Yuanwu's plan to gain traction in negotiations..."

Shen Tai, the Minister of Household Affairs of Liang State who was accompanying him, was interrupted by Zhu Zhen before he could finish his words.

"Emperor Yuanwu is not such a person. Since he said this and said it directly at the court meeting, it means that it has been decided."

Zhu Zhen laughed at himself: "I was still thinking about what conditions and how to negotiate it at the lowest cost, but in the end Emperor Yuanwu didn't give him a chance at all."

"As expected of Emperor Yuanwu, this is something he can do."

Han Chong continued: "If you don't accept our peace proposal, what will you do? Continue to fight? When will the war end and how will it end?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Zhu Zhen said in a low voice: "This is not something we can decide. This is what Emperor Yuanwu wants to tell us. We decide the beginning of the war, but he has the final say when it ends!"

"madman!"

Han Chong said angrily: "I don't believe that Daning still has the strength to continue fighting. Can Daning's national strength support it?"

"But Daning's army is indeed still in Daliang, but I, Daliang, are unable to survive. This is a fact."

Zhu Zhen turned to Ma Xi and asked: "Where is Wei? What did Emperor Yuanwu say?"
