The princes in the Jinluan hall had already received the news, but they were not surprised. Qian Qingshu, the first assistant, stood up and expressed his views

"I'm afraid it's a delaying tactic for the rebels. Your majesty, please think twice."

Without waiting for emperor Yongxing to speak, someone immediately came forward to refute

"When did Qian Shoufu have such a tacit understanding with Yang Buzheng?"

He was one of the leaders in the Ministry of war's work.

Qian Qingshu frowned and looked at the affairs of the Ministry of war

"What's your opinion?"

The Ministry of military affairs, in a high voice

"Your Majesty, since the autumn harvest, one hundred thousand troops have been buried in Jingshan city by Wei Yuan. After winter, nearly 60000 elite soldiers have been lost in Qingzhou. If we go on fighting like this, our soldiers will be exhausted.

"However, because of the disaster of refugees and the shortage of troops, the Ministry of war has been unable to send troops to support Yongzhou. In my opinion, peace negotiation is the right way to solve the urgent situation of the imperial court. "

With a sigh, the Minister of war chose silence.

"To solve the urgent problem?"

Zhang Xingying, the censor of Youdu, hums coldly

"If we want to make peace, the rebels must open their mouths. I'm afraid that after that, the imperial court will not be able to fight against it. Master Yan doesn't understand the principle of cutting meat with a blunt knife? "

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs came out and said in a deep voice:

"Zhang Yushi is so insightful and insightful of the situation. It's better for you to take my position as the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs."

With a sneer, Emperor Yongxing bowed to him and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, the Treasury is empty. If the imperial court continues to fight against the rebels in Yunzhou, it will be dragged down sooner or later. Spring Festival is coming, the earth returns to spring, what we need is time. And peace negotiation can buy us time to survive the cold disaster. "

At once, the main fighters and the main peacemakers began to fight and argue.

Every time things got out of control, Zhao XuanZhen whipped his whip and yelled "silence.".

Emperor Yongxing was a silent spectator of the public debate. He didn't look at Zhao XuanZhen until more and more people expressed their opinions, and the moderates gradually outnumbered the belligerents.

Pop!

Zhao XuanZhen whipped the whip again, and the bright ground made a clear sound, which calmed down the debate in the hall.

Emperor Yongxing looked around and said slowly:

"I sympathize with the soldiers and the common people. I can't bear to fight any more. It's settled."

............

The Imperial City, the palace.

The luxurious carriage stops outside the palace. With the help of the servants, Qian Qingshu gets off with a small stool. The bodyguard outside the palace knows his identity and doesn't stop him.

All the way into the house, in the hall a moment later, the housekeeper led him into the courtyard, came to Wang Shoufu's bedroom..

For a decent man like Wang Shoufu, seeing that the guest is not in the study, but in the bedroom, we can see how serious his illness is.

The door and window of the bedroom were closed, and there were two maidservants in the outer room and the inner room.

Wang Shoufu sat back with a soft pillow.

He was thin and emaciated. His face could not hide his twilight. He had only one pair of eyes, still bright and bright.

"Alas

Qian Qingshu sighed: "why don't you get better?"

He says, waved a hand, let servant girls retreat.

"Maybe it's time." Wang Zhenwen smiles

"As soon as people get older, they will be as sick as a mountain, and it is hard for immortals to save them. The so-called 50 and know the destiny, since it is destiny, then let it be. "

Qian Qingshu pondered and said:

"I shouldn't have come to you. It's important to let you rest assured. It's just..."

Wang Zhenwen raised her hand and interrupted, pointing to the window

"Open the window for me first."

Qian Qingshu frowned

"It's freezing. Can you stand the window?"

Wang Zhenwen waved his hand

"The dusk in this room makes me feel sick. Isn't it easier for me to get sick? Stop talking nonsense and open the window

Qian Qingshu hesitated a little, went to the window, opened a big hole, let the cold but fresh wind blow into the house.

He returned to the bed, sat down on the stool, and said in his mind:

"Qingzhou is lost."

Seeing that Wang Zhenwen did not speak, he was silent. After a while, Wang Zhenwen's voice was low:

"You go on..."

"JianZheng died in Qingzhou. The rebels now occupy Qingzhou and confront Yang Gong at the border of Yongzhou..... Yesterday, Yao Hong, Yongzhou's political envoy, offered a compromise. Yunzhou wanted to send a delegation to negotiate peace......"

Wang Zhenwen listened without saying a word. She didn't move during that time, and her eyes seemed to be frozen.

When Qian Qingshu finished, his eyes moved and he got angry again

"Your Majesty has agreed?"

There was a deep sense of disappointment in his tone.

Qian Qingshu nodded gently

"There's no other choice. Dafeng loses his supervision, and his extraordinary fighting power is vacant. It's like a sheep without a leader. Sooner or later, people's hearts will be broken. What's the use of fighting further.

"I'm afraid I'll be the same as him..."

Meng realized that his words were disrespectful and changed his words with a sigh

"It's the same with other princes."

Wang Zhenwen heard the speech, nodded slowly and said:

"It's only when they are sure of this that they take the initiative to send a delegation for peace talks when the victory is in hand."

Qian Qingshu gave a bitter smile

"There are a lot of smart people, but they just pretend to be fools. Who doesn't know that, but what can we do? Recently, the people in the capital were in a state of panic, and they tried to be calm. In fact, they were scared out of their wits, and even thought that the demise of Dafeng was only a matter of time.

"It's commendable that there is no other way out.

"Your Majesty knows that peace talks are about cutting flesh with a blunt knife, but what can he do? Peace talks are his only hope. He will seize them regardless of everything, and then say to himself, "it's all about fighting for time and waiting for the cold disaster to pass."

Wang Zhenwen was silent for a long time

"If you don't say that, try to get Xu Qi'an to see me."

"He?"

Qian Qingshu smiles bitterly and shakes his head

"I don't even know where this man is."

"He's in the capital. He must be in the capital now." Wang Zhenwen covered his mouth and coughed violently. "The prison is dead, and he will come back. Hey, if the Yunzhou rebels want to make peace, it depends on whether he agrees or not."

Qian Qingshu got up, strode to the window, closed the window, turned back and said:

"Do you think Xu Yinluo can solve the crisis?"

Wang Zhenwen was silent. After a long time, he whispered:

"Even if Wei Yuan resurrects, he can't live this game."

...........

Si Tianjian.

Seven Dan room, Xu Qian even home did not return, straight to find Song Qing.

"I've collected all the materials for the memorial flag, but there's another supplementary material."

Xu Qi'an took out the fragments of the book and found two jade bottles, one full of honeycomb holes, and a black silk.

Song Qing quickly took the pill, covered her mouth and nose with the silk cloth soaked in the liquid medicine, and then pulled out the cork of the porcelain bottle to confirm the material.

In the porcelain bottle are the nails of the ancient corpse and the dark corpse water extracted from the carotid artery.

After the confirmation of mingjinshi and the poisonous silk, Song Qing said:

"The last material is Wei Yuan's hair, skin and flesh, which is used for positioning. But Wei Yuan's body was destroyed in Jingshan city. He must have found it. "

In fact, Wei Yuan's body was engulfed by Joan of arc, and Song Qing didn't know the details.

"So?" Xu Qian asked.

"The blood of the offspring can be substituted." Song Qing said slowly.

The Duke of Wei has long been a queen..... Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart in a low voice

"There must be other ways to replace it, otherwise the supervisor won't let me look for the magic weapon to refine the soul summoning flag."

Song Qing stares at him

"Wei Yuan has no children, but you are promoted to the third grade by his blood elixir. In a sense, you are his children.

"So next, you need to refine a blood pill. It doesn't need to be too much. Your fingernails will be defecated. It won't affect your cultivation.

"Then, you have to help me get rid of the poison contained in Youming silk. I can't get rid of the poison of the descendants of gods and demons."

Xu Qi'an's eyes swept the silk of the nether world

"It takes three days to refine the bleeding pill to get rid of the toxicity.

"These are not problems. The real problem is, can you use such a powerful magic weapon as the evocation flag?"

JianZheng is no longer in the capital, sun Xuanji is recovering, and Yang Qianhuan is not in the capital at this time. Song Qing is the highest ranking Tianjian.

But Song Qing was only a six grade alchemist.

As a big man in the field of alchemy, Song Qing has a deep understanding of himself. He has a high respect for alchemy and will never show off his ability. He shakes his head decisively

"I can't!

"A metal like mingjinshi can't be melted by fire. It needs to gather the spirit of fire to melt it.

"Well, I can use some combustion supporting materials to raise the flame temperature, but I need to build a new furnace, and the combustion supporting materials are my original, and the sky warden has no reserves.

"This alone will take half a month."

For many years, Song Qing had been immersed in alchemy and found many ways to replace the array, but these methods certainly did not have the convenience of direct array.

"So you need to use gas engine instead of combustion supporting material to melt the mingjinshi and refine the rod of the spirit banner. As for the cloth of the soul summoning banner, we can only wait for elder martial brother sun to recover. Because in the weaving process, you need to constantly integrate into the array. "

After listening patiently, Xu Qian said:

"Refining the soul summoning flag, can we wake up the Duke of Wei?"

Song Qing still shook her head

"The next is to portray the gathering Yin array, waiting for one of the three most Yin moments of the year, and you will summon Wei Yuan's soul."

Xu Qi'an frowned

"When was the last time?"

Without thinking, Song Qing replied:

"Spring Festival!"

A month or so... Xu Qi'an breathed out and thought it was acceptable.

.............

On this day, a long boat flying through the clouds broke through the sea of clouds and landed slowly on the boundary of the capital.

Yufeng boat, a magic weapon originally belonging to Oriental Wanrong, fell into Ji Xuan's hands in the battle of Jianzhou. This boat travels thousands of miles every day and is a very rare large transport tool.

At the head of the boat stood three men. In the middle of the boat was a young man in gorgeous clothes. He was handsome and gentle, holding a small silver bone fan in his hand.

His appearance is similar to Ji Xuan's, but his temperament is quite different. Ji Xuan tends to be masculine, but his edge is hidden.

This young man has a scholarly spirit, as well as the pride of filling his stomach with knowledge.

On the left and right are Xu Yuanhuai, a boy in black, and Xu yuanshuang, a cool girl.

These three are the core figures of the mission. In addition to them, there are 16 veteran scholars who form a negotiation team.

And a hundred elite bodyguards with excellent accomplishments.

"Capital..."

Ji Yuan's silver bone fan turns a few times and says with a smile:

"Well known for a long time, admiration for a long time, Yuanhuai yuanshuang, aren't you happy?"

Xu Yuanhuai and Xu yuanshuang are both strangers. They are indifferent and cold, which is related to their living environment.

But they were really not happy. Anyone could see who their father had asked them to negotiate in Beijing.

"It's said that outside Yongzhou City, Xu Qi'an was merciful to you two, and didn't hurt the killer. When you get to Beijing, you two have to protect me. " Ji Yuan said with a smile

"That guy is not willing to kill his younger brother and sister. If he kills my cousin, I'm afraid he won't even blink."

Seeing his cousin's light expression, he felt bored and said with emotion:

"This visit to Beijing, first of all, is to grab more benefits for Qianlong city. Second, meritorious service, seven elder brother is already extraordinary strong, but I have not meritorious service. If we can do this job well, my father will pay more attention to our brother. The position of seven brothers is more stable.

"The third thing is to test the strength of Dafeng. Your big brother is the first one I try. Tut Tut, do you think he ever thought about peace talks? "

Xu yuanshuang said faintly:

"He won't!

"This man would rather bend than bend."

Ji Yuan nodded and said:

"A strong disposition does not mean pedantry. If he agrees to the peace talks, it will be a tactic to postpone the war. It shows that Dafeng has a future hand."

Speaking, Yufeng boat slowly stops outside the capital.

The Yamen in charge of welcoming the Yunzhou mission are Honglu temple and pedestrian department, and the leader is Honglu Temple minister. The official residence is from Sanpin, which really gives Yunzhou great face.

Honglu Siqing is a thin, middle-aged man with a goatee. He has a deep fishtail pattern and laughs all the year round.

He is skillful and tactful.

He led his subordinates to the yufengzhou, waiting for the Yunzhou mission to come down.

But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

A quarter of an hour later, a bodyguard leaned down from the side of the boat and said in a high voice:

"Who is your majesty?"

With a professional smile, Honglu Shiqing bows and says:

"I am the official of Honglu temple."

The bodyguard let out a "Oh", and his head drew back. After more than ten breath, he poked out his head again and said faintly:

"My son said that you are not qualified enough. Please go back."
