"You're not afraid that you won't see the excitement after you go there, and become the excitement yourself!"
Hong Chengchou glanced at Yang Jiachen.
Yang Jiachen was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean? Why did I become so popular?"
"Think about your identity, and then think about what these scholars want to do. If someone recognizes your identity, there is no guarantee that those scholars will not do something to you. Of course, there is also the possibility that someone will attack you secretly. Don't forget The envoy of the Qing Dynasty named Fan has no bottom line in his work, and it's not like he has never done anything like assassination before." Hong Chengchou reminded.
After hearing these words, Yang Jiachen hesitated for a moment, then sat back in his seat and said: "Actually, the excitement is not that good. No matter how much trouble a group of scholars make, they can't get rid of it."
Very rationally, I gave up the idea of going to see the excitement in person.
"Aren't you going to watch the excitement?" Hong Chengchou asked frivolously.
Yang Jiachen shook his head and said with a righteous face: "Am I the kind of person who likes to watch the excitement? Even if the people in the palace are beaten into dog brains, it has nothing to do with me."
"It's best not to go." Hong Chengchou said, "The situation in Nanjing is not quite right recently. You and I don't show up much. It's best to stay in the courtyard. The protection of the courtyard must also be strengthened. We can't rely entirely on the officers and soldiers outside."
"Are you worried that someone will do something to us?" Yang Jiachen asked.
Hong Chengchou said: "It's not to worry, but to take precautions. If something happens, we won't be helpless."
"Is the matter really that serious? We are envoys!" Yang Jiachen looked nervous.
Listening to Hong Chengchou's words becoming more and more sinister, his heart also became excited.
Hong Chengchou said: "People may not recognize us as envoys. Now some people are making trouble at the gate. Do you think they care about the title of envoy you say?"
"The more you talk about it, the scarier it gets. If the other party dares to actually attack us, aren't they afraid of provoking an army of tiger-shaped flags?" Yang Jiachen said.
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou glanced at him and said: "The tiger-character flag army was provoked, just in time for the Ming Dynasty to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, and just enough for some people to achieve their goals."
"There are still some people in the Ming Dynasty who support us, otherwise they wouldn't have sent officers and soldiers to protect us, just to prevent someone from attacking us." Yang Jiachen said.
Hearing such simple words, Hong Chengchou was speechless, but he still analyzed it for him: "If I were on the opponent's side, it would not be too easy to break through such a courtyard. I don't need to do it myself at all, I just need to bewitch some." Scholars and common people who don't know the truth forcefully break in, and at the same time stir up more people's emotions, and start smashing and looting, and sneak in a few more hands-on people secretly. As long as one person is killed, they take this opportunity to make things worse. Do you think Is there any chance of peace talks? We might even lose our lives here."
After hearing this, Yang Jiachen stood up, walked over and stood in front of Hong Chengchou, leaned over and put his face close to him, just watching.
"What are you going to do!" Hong Chengchou was shocked by the other party's gaze.
Yang Jiachen said: "I've always heard that you scholars are all full of bad things. Sure enough, you are full of bad things. You are not afraid of getting dirty."
"I was just giving an example, and I didn't say it was me." Hong Chengchou and Yang Jiachen pulled their heads to the side, reached out and picked up the tureen on the table and took a sip of tea.
"But you came up with this idea." Yang Jiachen turned around and sat back in his seat.
Hong Chengchou took the tureen from his mouth and said, "What I'm talking about is just a possibility. Once the other party does this, we won't even be able to find the real murderer behind the scenes. The Ming Dynasty will only introduce a few scapegoats."
"In case the other party does what you said, do you have any countermeasures? Don't say no, you scholars are all very discerning." Yang Jiachen asked Hong Chengchou.
Seeing that Yang Jiachen was a little frightened, Hong Chengchou said with relief: "Don't worry! The other party will not do this unless it is absolutely necessary. Once they do this, they will offend not only our Tiger Flag, but also the people in the court." For some officials, many official matters are often resolved using official methods."
"What if we really do this to sabotage the peace talks?" Yang Jiachen asked worriedly.
The envoys of the Qing Dynasty even used assassination methods. Even if someone in the Ming Dynasty used some unethical methods, it was not impossible.
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment.
After a while, he said: "If the other party really does this, it depends on how the people from the Foreign Intelligence Agency arrange it. Whether we live or die depends on what the people from the Foreign Intelligence Agency do."
"What does this have to do with the Foreign Intelligence Agency!" Yang Jiachen frowned slightly.
The Foreign Intelligence Bureau of Tiger Character Banner involves too many things that are inconvenient to leak. Although he joined Tiger Character Banner very early, he is unwilling to have too much contact with a special functional department like the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
Hong Chengchou said to him: "You don't think there are no spies from the Foreign Intelligence Service in Nanjing, do you? Don't forget that the last time someone named Fan sent an assassin was the news sent by the Foreign Intelligence Agency in advance."
"I know, but what can they do to help us? Don't you think they are omnipotent? Any news can be known in advance!" Yang Jiachen looked at him in surprise.
Hong Chengchou asked: "They can even know about the assassins in advance, why can't they know some other information in advance?"
"It's better not to deal with them less. After all, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau is directly commanded by the Lord. It's not good to have too much contact with others." Yang Jiachen gave him a reminder.
After these days of contact, the two of them got along well. He didn't want to see Hong Chengchou doing taboo things.
Maybe the Lord doesn't mind this, but if their contact exposes the secret agents in Nanjing City, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau will not let them off lightly.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't mess around." Hong Chengchou gave the other party a relieved look.
When he was still an official in the Ming Dynasty, he knew that there were many taboo things in the officialdom, and how could he make such mistakes.
Yang Jiachen said: "It's good that you have an idea, but we need to find a way to deal with the peace talks. Letting these scholars continue to make trouble like this will be very detrimental to our peace talks. Even if there are people in the court who support the peace talks, I'm afraid they won't dare to come forward."
"Forget about peace talks." Hong Chengchou shook his head and said immediately, "Don't you understand it yet? Ming Dynasty has no intention of peace talks at all."
Yang Jiachen's face turned ugly and he said, "Didn't you say that there are people on the side of the auxiliary minister who support peace talks? If the imperial court does not intend to have peace talks, wouldn't it mean that it would form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty!"
