On the emperor's side, the man who successfully commanded an army of 100,000 was Xu Heng, Duke of Anguo.
On the emperor's side, those who had successfully commanded an army of 100,000 were Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, Dingxi Marquis Jiang Gui, and Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao.
Dingxi Marquis Jiang Gui just died of illness last year. Among the remaining three, Xu Heng's position has been decided, while Chen Mao's attitude is ambiguous.
Therefore, Wang Ji's position itself has become the focus of attention from all parties.
Not only the government and the public are paying great attention to it, but even the two brothers Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu attach great importance to it.
Once Wang Ji chose to be the emperor, it was basically the straw that broke the camel's back.
For the Emperor's faction, it is meaningless to discuss the military level of resistance.
As for morality and etiquette, it is also extremely difficult. Zhu Qiyu hugged Empress Hu and refused to let go of the Sun family. This alone could torture the Shanghuang faction to death.
At this stage of the negotiation, both the Wala side and the Ming side were unable to sit still.
Naha was eager to go back and resume his duties, while Liang Yue and Fang Ying were also eager to see off the Wala envoy, and then hurried to discuss their own future with Wang Ji.
Only the old god Li Xuan was there, sitting there calmly, looking confident.
When Liang Yue and Fang Ying looked at Li Xuan, they couldn't help but express envy.
Li Xuan was one of the biggest winners of the Tumubao Incident.
Originally, Li Xuan was just a wealthy man living in Nanjing. However, due to the great reshuffle of nobles caused by the Tumubao Incident and the rise of Emperor Jingtai, Li Xuan, a twenty-year-old young man, suddenly became a wealthy man. Became the Duke of Ming Dynasty.
And Li Xuan didn't have to worry about taking sides, because he had no choice: after receiving such a great favor from Emperor Jingtai, if he were to take sides with the Supreme Emperor, would he still be a human being? He would not be despised to death by both the government and the public.
Besides, once the Supreme Emperor regains power, he will not recognize Li Xuan as the Duke of the country.
Although Li Xuan obtained his position as Duke in a very special way. But Liang Yue, Fang Ying, and even Wang Ji were all very polite and respectful to Li Xuan.
Because the three of them have either already obtained the title, or their merits are close to the title, everyone hopes that the title will be hereditary and will be a blessing to future generations.
Who wouldn’t want to still be respected by others when their grandson, great-grandson, or great-great-grandson ascends the throne.
Referring to others, Li Xuan's great-grandfather Li Wenzhong, King of Qiyang, ranked third in the Ming Dynasty Heroes Temple. Li Xuan's grandfather Cao Guogong Li Jinglong also made great contributions to Taizong's lineage.
Everyone knows the truth. If you respect Li Wenzhong's great-grandson and Li Jinglong's grandson now, others will respect your descendants in the future.
Rules need to be observed and maintained by everyone.
On this issue, all nobles have a spontaneous consensus.
After talking about this stage, it can come to an end for the time being. At this time, Naha asked the last question: "I dare to ask Cao Guogong, I need to go back and report the conditions you proposed on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor.
But I also want to know, if our ministry complies with the conditions proposed by Ming Dynasty, can there be formal words to restrict the behavior of both parties? "
Li Xuan nodded: "My father-in-law can, on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, sign a temporary covenant with your ministry. The respective rights and obligations of both parties will be written into the covenant.
Then you can send envoys to go to the capital with the Supreme Emperor and Ye Xian, and then sign a formal alliance. The formal covenant was exactly the same as the temporary covenant, except that it was confirmed by the emperor himself and was more authoritative.
Don't worry, I, the Ming Dynasty, am the king of heaven, and I will not go back on my word on the covenant and make fun of you and others.
If you agree, you agree. If you don't agree, you don't agree. My father is entrusted by the Holy Father to handle peace talks with full authority. He will never make fun of the credibility of the Emperor of Heaven. "
Nahachu nodded and said nothing more. At least since Emperor Jingtai succeeded to the throne, so far, there has never been any breaking of promises or going back on one's promises.
With Li Xuan's promise, Naha Chu went back to resume his life with worries.
After seeing Naha off, Li Xuan apologized repeatedly to Wang Ji and others: "Uncle Jingyuan, please forgive me. This is a task assigned by the Holy Father before leaving the capital. At that time, I didn't know what Uncle Jingyuan would do." I came with an army of 100,000, so the Holy Father gave me the authorization for peace talks.
I have no intention of taking matters into my own hands. We should all pool our wisdom and discuss everything. "
Wang Ji and others knew that these were polite words and that they were just for discussion, but do you really dare to deny the emperor's strategy?
However, today's emperor's emperor's scheming is really scary. Before Li Xuan came to Ganzhou, he had already explained the peace talks. At that time, I'm afraid the emperor himself didn't even know that the imperial court would send a hundred thousand troops this year to welcome back the Supreme Emperor.
Li Xuan was not only young and capable, but also very sensible. After sending Naha away, Li Xuan himself went back to rest.
Wang Ji, Liang Yue, and Fang Ying got the opportunity to talk privately.
Fang Ying was the first to ask, eager to know what Wang Ji thought of the current situation.
Wang Ji also worriedly analyzed the situation with the two of them: "Now it's all on show, and the emperor's intention is very clear.
It was to accuse Sanyang and Wang Zhen'an of colluding with Wala and smuggling and collaborating with the enemy.
Wang Zhen was liquidated, which is what everyone expected, but there is no telling.
The actions of the Supreme Emperor during his time in power will also be denied. I'm afraid the prestige will decline further.
As for Sanyang, if he is completely liquidated, the implication may be even wider.
In the end, the late emperor's comprehensive and extreme strategic contraction and strange policy ideas of destroying good things will inevitably be completely rejected.
To bring order out of chaos, in terms of martial arts, we have to go back to the old path of Taizong.
On the other hand, in terms of civil administration, the Holy Master did not seem to want to imitate Taizong. "
Liang Yue and Fang Ying both nodded. In fact, this is nothing. There is nothing particularly aspiring military generals and nobles who particularly like Xuanzong.
What kind of Ming Dynasty did Taizong leave behind?
What kind of Ming Dynasty did Xuanzong take over?
What kind of Ming Dynasty did Xuanzong pass on to the Supreme Emperor?
What kind of Ming Dynasty will we take over today?
Some civil servants may not feel it intuitively, but these generals and nobles know best.
Unless they have completely lost their conscience and sense of shame, who dares to say that what Zhengtong and Jingtai inherited was not a mess? Who dares to say that Xuanzong is not responsible for this mess?
For example, Wala, who could be easily destroyed, was doubly protected by Xuanzong and Sanyang, and protected him all the way. In the end, he helped Tuohuan, Yexian and his son to unify Mongolia and brought about the Ming Dynasty's Civil War.
Although there was a reason for the Supreme Emperor's ambition and lack of talent, but if the Shanxi garrison and armament had not been depleted to an incredible extent, but with only a little bit of powerful intelligence, the Supreme Emperor would not have been able to escape and become a prisoner directly.
If the Supreme Emperor had not been captured, where would there be so many entanglements now.
It's irritating to think about good civil servants and generals who don't do serious business and are all obsessed with choosing sides between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
Neither Liang Yue nor Fang Ying cared much about the emperor's liquidation of traitorous officials. What they both wanted to know more was how they should stand in order to maintain their fame and wealth. So he urged Wang Ji to come up with a definite idea quickly.
