The speaker is Yang Hong!
Regarding Yuan Bin, all the ministers in the imperial court knew his name, but very few had actually seen him.
After all, before the Civil War, Yuan Bin was just a small imperial guard, not even qualified to enter the Fengtian Palace.
Naturally, the bosses will not pay attention to it.
After the Civil War, Yuan Bin and Ha Ming, as the only remaining retainers around the Supreme Emperor, naturally appeared frequently in various military reports.
Especially Yuan Bin, he almost became the spokesperson of the Supreme Emperor. From the news that the Supreme Emperor was trapped in the prison camp, to shouting at the gate of Xuanfu City, to the secret plan with Guo Deng at the gate of Datong to rescue the Supreme Emperor, but to no avail.
It can be said that the name Yuan Bin has long been known to the courtiers.
However, he has always followed the Supreme Emperor in Yibei, so he really doesn't know many people.
The ministers in the Fengtian Palace now have to say that they know Yuan Bin.
Except for the trio of envoys kneeling in front, they were Changping Marquis Yang Hong, who once guarded Xuanfu.
This sound is not loud, but the impact it brings is explosive.
Wu Chen was the first to start a commotion, and there was a lot of discussion. The faces of Zhang Shi and Jiao Jing became extremely ugly.
Especially Jiao Jing, he felt in a terrible mood.
From the moment Yang Hong called out this name, Jiao Jing understood that all their previous speculations about the emperor were wrong.
Those who want to create a good reputation and those who want to kill Zhang Fu are both wrong.
The reason why the emperor has not made it public or convicted the case of the mission is not because he could not investigate clearly. On the contrary, it is because the emperor has long been confident.
He has been delaying time just to wait for Yuan Bin, the most critical witness!
Following Yang Hong's words, the trio of envoys kneeling in the hall couldn't help but raise their heads and turn around to look.
When they saw Yuan Bin's face, the three of them had different expressions.
Xiao Weizhen's face looked miserable and his body was trembling. In contrast, Xu Bin was overjoyed and immediately turned his gaze to Zhang Fu beside him.
Obviously, Xu Bin felt that Yuan Bin's arrival was also arranged by Zhang Fu.
However, what surprised him was that when facing Yuan Bin, Zhang Fu's face was not relaxed at all, but rather a little surprised.
The commotion on Wu Chen's side naturally attracted the attention of Wen Chen's side.
Among them, no one knew Yuan Bin.
However, the Mongolian noble just now claimed to be the Oara envoy, and Yuan Bin came with him, wearing the robe of a royal guard.
Soon, someone guessed his identity.
As a result, everyone's eyes were fixed on the three people of Zhu Jian who were still saluting.
At this time, the emperor also spoke, saying.
"Governor Zhu has worked hard all the way. The matter is very important. I have to ask you to go to the palace as soon as you enter the city. But judging from the appearance of the Qing family, the things I assigned you should have been completed, right?"
Zhu Jian was a little unclear about the situation at this moment.
Previously, when Guo Deng received the military order and led the army to ambush Ye Xian, Zhu Jian also received a secret edict at the same time.
He said inside that once he was defeated first, Wala would definitely be weak. At this time, it was a good time to negotiate with the other party and welcome back the Supreme Emperor, so the emperor ordered him to send an envoy to Wala again to test his attitude.
If there is sincere peace talk first, then the Wala envoy can be brought to Beijing, but in order to ensure that the Supreme Emperor is safe and sound, it is necessary to have the Supreme Emperor's personal companion Yuan Bin return to Beijing together.
It should be said that this edict was very risky for Zhu Jian.
He was familiar with military affairs and civil affairs, and of course he knew that under the successive defeats, it would be impossible to maintain a hostile relationship with the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and it was inevitable to turn to peace talks.
However, no one knows where this node is.
Although he was not in the court, he also knew that after the battle of Zijingguan, many ministers in the court felt that they had no strength to fight anymore and would inevitably lean towards peace talks, so they sent the envoys.
But the result was that Ye pretended to have peace talks on the surface, but actually secretly attacked Shawo in an attempt to start another border provocation.
This failure may be a very serious blow to Ye Xian, but no one can say whether he will really give up his attempt on Ming Dynasty because of this.
Especially when the Battle of Shawo has just ended and the generals have been lost, it is not impossible to kill him to vent his anger if he gets angry first.
So, it's an adventure.
Zhu Jian had two choices at the time. One was to respond to the court and request the court to send a complete mission on the grounds that he was alone and lacked etiquette.
But this is actually a polite refusal.
The secret edict in his hand was obviously an imperial edict, that is to say, an edict issued by the emperor without going through court discussions.
When he sends the memorial back to the court, it must go through the General Affairs Department and the cabinet, so the courtiers will naturally arrange the matter properly.
Either postpone it or replace it.
Of course, there is a high probability that it will be postponed.
After all, from the perspective of the imperial court, it was really inappropriate to send out another wave of envoys just after the war had just ended.
However, Zhu Jian was unwilling to do this.
From the bottom of his heart, he hopes that the Supreme Emperor can return to the court as soon as possible. In his opinion, the Supreme Emperor is the orthodox one. If he does not return to the court, the country will be unstable.
Therefore, even if he took the risk, he still chose the second path, which was to follow the order and go straight to Wala alone.
This was also a gamble. He was betting that he could first secure his position as Grand Master of Wala. He was not a person who would be carried away by emotions.
As the admiral of Datong, although Zhu Jian could not directly intervene in military affairs, he still knew the basic military situation.
Wala's current situation is not good. The defeat at Zijingguan has caused him to lose his most powerful position among the various Mongolian ministries.
After a severe cold, many herdsmen at the bottom died of cold and starvation, which directly affected the replenishment of Yexian's troops.
Coupled with the failure of the Battle of Sandy Nest and two consecutive losses, if you are a sober enough person first, you should show real sincerity and negotiate peace with Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the more important point is that Zhu Jian saw the sincerity of the emperor in this secret edict.
This time, the emperor did not just ask him to welcome the emperor back, but gave him enough conditions.
That is, as long as he agrees to return the emperor, the Ming Dynasty can ignore the past grievances, re-accept the various tribes of Oara as vassals, and restore the tribute and reward system.
This is actually a huge concession.
Zhu Jian knew in his heart that the emperor could not offer any more favorable conditions than this.
Even if the decree is not issued directly by the emperor, but through court discussions, then a considerable number of radical ministers headed by a certain official minister may not be willing to agree to even these relatively mild compromises.
Therefore, he could not submit a memorial and make the matter bigger, because in that case, sending an envoy would have to go through the court meeting, and it was not certain whether these conditions could still pass the court meeting.
He has no other choice!
