Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 441 Convince him!
The Wanqi family was in chaos at this time.

Some were wailing, some were cursing, and some were rushing forward like crazy, ready to fight Yang Yuan to the death.

Yu Jiguang and others who had been stunned finally came to their senses and rushed forward to stop them.

They thought that the Wanqi family was once the prime minister's family, so even if they were exiled for their crimes, it would not be appropriate to go too far, so they just tried to stop them for now.

However, after being scratched all over his face, Da Chu couldn't help it first: "Fuck you!"

Da Chu kicked out with a big foot, kicking out one of Wanqi Xie's grandsons.

Then he rushed over, sat on the grandson and started beating him.

Fortunately, he knew the severity of the situation and did not dare to use his fists. He just swung his arms and slapped the man in the face.

As soon as Da Chu took action, Mao Shaofan couldn't help it.

As soon as Mao Shaofan took action, Yu Jiguang thought, whether I fight or not, I will offend the Wanqi family now, so I might as well show my loyalty to Yang Tongpan.

As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to help someone in need. Yang Tongpan is in a difficult situation now. What if I make the right bet this time?
Thinking of this, Yu Jiguang, who had been on high alert, took the initiative to expose his flaw and stuck his face out.

"Snapped!"

He was slapped on the left cheek. Yu Jiguang cried out in pain, tilted his head, and moved his right cheek towards the slap.

"Snapped!"

Another slap in the face.

Yu Jiguang finally had the "great justice" in his hands, and he immediately started to use his fists and feet, rushing into the group of Wanqi family members who were unable to lift or carry anything.

"Hey! Don't... saving people is more important..."

Yang Yuan stretched out his "Erkang Hand" and tried to stop the conflict between the two sides, but no one listened to him.

Yang Yuan stamped his feet, ran to Wanqi Xie, who was hunched on the ground like a shrimp, and turned him over.

Wanqi Xie's eyes bulged with anger, his face turned purple, and he didn't know if he could be saved.

A person from the Wanqi family ran towards Yang Yuan with tears streaming down his face and screaming.

Wei Shun was quick-witted and agile, and with a beautiful little grab, he pinned him down next to Yang Yuan.

These Dali Temple jailers are all proficient in various grappling techniques and are extremely skilled in using joint techniques.

The man captured by Wei Shun was about forty years old and should be a son of Wanqi Xie.

Wei Shun said, "Yang Jianzhou, it is not appropriate to stay here for long, you should leave quickly."

Yang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

He observed Wanqi Xie's condition and said to Wanqi Xie's son who was pinned to the ground by Wei Shun: "Don't get excited. Your father may still be saved."

The man was stunned and said angrily: "My father has died of anger caused by you, how can he be saved?"

Yang Yuan said: "No, no, I think he was so angry that a mouthful of phlegm got stuck in his throat and he suffocated to death.

You come and suck out the phlegm for him, and then blow a few breaths into him, maybe he can be brought back to life."

The man was stunned again, looked at Wanqi Xie, and said half-believingly: "Is this true?"

Yang Yuan spread his hands and said, "Let's give it a try. Even if there is only a one in ten chance, do you want to try?"

The man hesitated for a moment, and tried to struggle, but his joints were locked tightly by Wei Shun, and he could not move at all.

Yang Yuan waved his hand and asked Wei Shun to let him go, and the man crawled on his knees to Wanqi Xie's side.

Yang Yuan stood up and patiently instructed: "Come, pinch your father's nose with one hand, pinch his cheek with the other hand, pry his mouth open a little, and then..."

"Wow……"

The man felt extremely disgusted when he saw his father's saliva sticking to the corners of his lips. His mouth was only pried open a crack, and he couldn't help turning his head to the side and vomiting violently.

Yang Yuan was speechless when he saw this.

At this time, another young man from the Wanqi family rushed towards him shouting.

Yang Yuan didn't even look at him and kicked him with a kick.

Although his kick looked very domineering, he used a clever force to kick the person who was rushing towards him back.

Seeing that Wanqi Xie's son couldn't bring himself to do it, it was naturally impossible for Yang Yuan to take action.

He looked at Wan Qixie, whose face was hideous and eyes were bulging with anger, and could not help but point his finger at him and cursed: "You bastard, you have been framing loyal people all your life!

"Do you have a grudge against me for killing my father or stealing my wife? Why do you want to use your own death to frame me?"

……

Yang Yuan never thought that he would scold Wanqi Xie to death. He never thought of scolding Wanqi Xie at all.

He came to Wanqi Xie's mansion just to deliver a long-distance cart to the Dali Temple personnel who were guarding there.

However, when Wanqi Xie heard that Yang Yuan had arrived, he actually took the initiative to come out of his house and wanted to meet Yang Yuan.

Although Wanqi Xie anticipated that he would be dismissed from office and made some preparations and kept some backup plans, his depressed mood was still inevitable.

He has been lurking in the local area for more than ten years since he failed in his challenge to Qin Hui.

Now he finally returned to Lin'an. Qin Hui, his half-life enemy, was dead, and he became the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Wanqi Xie was extremely proud and in high spirits.

As a result, just a few days later, before he could even get comfortable in the position of prime minister, he fell again.

This time it's even worse.

The last time he offended Qin Hui, he was only demoted to a local post and sat on the bench, but this time he was exiled to Hainan Island.

Even though he had anticipated this outcome, he was still unhappy.

He was old and in a bad mood, so he became sick.

As a result, he suddenly received news a few days ago that the Jin Dynasty Emperor Wanyan Liang officially dispatched Yelu Yuanyi and Kong Yanzhou as commanders-in-chief, each leading a large army to attack the Song Dynasty.

Upon hearing the news, Wanqi Xie was overjoyed. He threw off the quilt, jumped onto the ground barefoot, and laughed loudly towards the sky.

The Jin soldiers are coming, come quickly, fight with the Song Dynasty and defeat the Song Dynasty, hahaha...

Otherwise, I would have to travel all the way south.

What if I had walked hundreds of miles before being invited back by little Zhao Yuan? How tired would I be from all the trouble along the way?

Because the Jin soldiers came, Wanqi Xie's illness was cured without any medicine.

This old guy has been looking radiant these past few days, and looks even more radiant than "butt-touching" Zhang Mi.

Although he was placed under house arrest by the Dali Temple, he could not be completely isolated from internal and external news.

He tried hard to inquire about the news from the outside world, judge the changes in the situation, and looked forward to Zhao Yuan inviting him back to the position of prime minister and letting him lead the peace talks with Jin.

By then, he will be able to perfectly replicate Qin Hui's rise!
He will become the sole prime minister of the Song Dynasty, as glorious as Qin Hui was in the past.

The Jin army's marching speed was far slower than the intelligence transmission speed of the Song Dynasty's machine room.

Wanqi Xie was extremely anxious as he waited for the news of the war between Song and Jin and the defeat of Song.

Today, he was sitting in his study, hesitating whether to take the initiative to write a letter to the emperor, requesting that he represent the Song Dynasty in peace talks with the Jin Dynasty to avoid a war between the two countries.

However, if he did not fight a war and let the Song Dynasty suffer first, how could he maintain his dignity by holding the Jin Kingdom hostage?

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to endure it for the time being.

He could not take the initiative to write a letter requesting to preside over the peace talks, and had to wait for Zhao Yuan to come and invite him.

Just then, he heard from his family that Yang Yuan, the Tongpan of Lin'an Prefecture, came to the mansion with dozens of large carts.

After hearing the news, Wanqi Xie walked out of the study and went outside the ceremonial gate of the front yard.

"Yang Yuan, your cart is very solidly built!"

Wanqi Xie was dressed in cloth and had a headband on his head. He stood on the steps with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it's Mr. Wanqi, oh! No, I should call you by your name now."

Yang Yuan was handing over to Cheng Mu, the Dali Temple Secretary who was in charge of guarding Wanqi Xie's mansion, when he suddenly heard Wanqi Xie speak with a sarcastic tone, and he immediately fought back without showing any weakness.

"Wanqi Xie, you are going to Danzhou, which is thousands of miles away. An ordinary cart cannot withstand such a toss."

Yang Yuan walked over and said with a smile: "I'll make the car sturdier so it won't fall apart.

I just don't know if your old bones can withstand the torment. But look at this piece of wood..."

Yang Yuan patted the shaft of the cart and said, "This is locust wood. As the old saying goes, locust wood carts, jujube wood plows, cut down birch trees as mounts.

This wood is very hard. If you die on the road, I can piece these planks together and make you a good coffin."

Dali Temple Secretary Cheng Mu was stunned after hearing this. After all, he was the former prime minister!

Even if he was exiled now, who would dare to speak to him like that?
Besides, in the current situation...

Maybe he will be reinstated soon.

This top scholar really dares to curse!

Wanqi Xie's face turned blue with anger. He didn't expect Yang Yuan to be so bold.

Wanqi Xie's face was frosty, and he said in a deep voice: "Yang Yuan, you are thoughtful.

However, I may not be able to see the beautiful scenery of Danzhou."

Yang Yuan was shocked and asked, "Are you dying? Don't you even have enough time to make it to Danzhou?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the nephews and nieces of the Wanqi family all glared at Yang Yuan.

Wanqi Xie smiled faintly and said, "Youngster, you are just showing off your verbal skills."

He walked down the stone steps slowly, walked around a large cart, took a look, patted the cart, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it is indeed solidly built."

He turned to Cheng Mu and said, "You must take good care of these cars. Maybe our top scholar will be able to use these cars he built soon."

Wanqi Xie turned to Yang Yuan again and said with a smile: "It's just that you are not going to the southernmost part, but... the northernmost part."

Wanqi Xie pointed to the north and said with a smile: "Don't worry, before you are beheaded, I will ask the Emperor of Jin for mercy on your behalf, so that you can see the scenery of Yanjing before you die.

The expansion of Yanjing City was completed only two years ago and is said to be very magnificent.

Mr. Zhuangyuan, remember to compose a poem before you die. I will include it in your collection of essays and pass it down to future generations."

"You think too much, you old thief Wanqi!" Yang Yuan sneered, walked up to Wanqi Xie and stood opposite him.

"You still want to leave a collection of writings for posterity? All you can leave behind is infamy!"

"Do you think that the Jin soldiers are coming and the world is going to change, and you, the old thief Wanqi, can turn the world upside down?"

"Wanqi, you must be crazy! To be fair, Wanyan Liang is not a mediocre ruler. He knows that hastily raising troops will lead to weak follow-up efforts. In addition, the Jin Dynasty is plagued by internal troubles. Do you think he would lead his troops south out of anger?"

"Look at you. You and Marshal Yue are both from Henan, but why is there such a big difference in your character?"

"Marshal Yue will be remembered for all eternity. But you, you will be remembered for all eternity!"

"You bastard, you... you bastard!"

Wanqi Xie felt a little embarrassed after being scolded by him, and pointed at him and cursed him angrily.

But Yang Yuan hadn't finished yet.

Yang Yuan said: "You can't even think that death is like the extinguishing of a light. Even if a thousand or ten thousand years have passed, people will still spit at you whenever they mention you."

Yang Yuan not only said it, but also did it.

He spat "Pah" and Wanqi Xie quickly took a step back, and his spit landed on his robe.

Wanqi Xie's face turned blue with anger, and he angrily said, "You brat, how rude!"

Yang Yuan said, "Oh, I just spit on you, and you can't stand it?"

Yang Yuan took a step closer and asked with a sneer, "There's a new drama in Lin'an Waizi Brothel, telling the story of four treacherous thieves framing a loyal and honest man. Do you know about it?"

Wanqi Xie certainly didn't know that even if he had not lost his freedom, his information channels were still very wide, and no one would bother themselves by reporting such things to him.

At most, he used his power to ban the performance of the play, and he didn't even dare to ask for rewards or credit afterwards. This was really a slap in the face.

Yang Yuan briefly told Wanqi Xie the story based on Qin Hui, Wanqi Xie, Zhang Jun and Wang Shi, and said with a smile: "In that story, you are cursed every day, and you are really cursed!

You were cast into an iron statue, kneeling in front of General Yue's tomb for a long time, being pointed at and cursed by thousands of people.

Even if thousands of years pass and the seas never dry up and the rocks never rot, you, a traitor who is worse than a dog or a pig, will always kneel down and be cursed by people forever!"

"Do you think that was just a play? Wanqi Xie, today Lin'an Prefecture can publicly perform such a play, and let countless people point at the actor who plays the traitor on the stage and curse him.

So guess what Yang said, can it really come true in the future?"

Wanqi Xie suddenly took a step back with a look of fear on his face.

He didn't dare to think about it. If such a scene really happened...

Yang Yuan pressed on, saying in a deep voice: "Not only will you be cursed for generations to come, but your descendants, and even innocent people with the surname Wanqi, will be ashamed to have the surname Wanqi.

Especially since the surname Wanqi is so rare, anyone with the surname Wanqi would easily be mistaken for your descendant. Therefore, most people in the world with the surname Wanqi would change their surnames because of you.

You are amazing, you are really amazing, Wanqi Xie! You will be the first person in history to change your surname because you are afraid of being implicated and scolded! Do you think this will cut off your lineage and grandchildren? "

As Yang Yuan cursed, Wanqi Xie's face turned purple, and his chest wheezed like a bellows, the sound getting louder and louder.

When Yang Yuan cursed out the words "no more descendants", Wanqi Xie pointed at Yang Yuan, gurgled in his throat for a while, suddenly turned his hand to strangle his own throat, and fell on his back.

Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Was the old man trying to scam me?

It is true that there is such a thing as being scolded to death.

There is a passage in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was told to Mr. Qu by Yang Yuan. It is now considered a classic scene.

But, that's a story after all.

In real life, there are people who are too angry and get scolded to death.

But that is usually because the deceased already had a disease, especially heart or vascular disease.

However, Yang Yuan looked at Wanqi Xie and thought he was doing fine. This old man seemed to be very healthy, with a strong body and a good complexion, his face was rosy.

Would he be so unresistant to being scolded?
However, Yang Yuan not only misjudged Wanqi Xie's physical condition, but also underestimated the lethality of his words to Wanqi Xie.

Wanqi Xie was a traitor, but he never thought so.

Whether he truly believed that he was doing this for the common people of the world or it was a form of self-hypnosis, he never considered himself to be a traitor who would be infamous for eternity.

The future that Yang Yuan described to him was a huge mental shock to him.

When Wanqi Xie thought that the situation behind him might be as described by Yang Yuan, his heart was broken with rage.

And in his original world, Yang Yuan was just a young man.

He just felt happy cursing, he didn't think these words would terrify Wanqi Xie to the extreme.

But even in Yang Yuan's original world, those dying old people still retain very traditional ideas.

They "regard death as life" and firmly believe that there is a world after death.

And your present self will determine how you survive in that new world after death.

There was once a place where people changed their customs, but the way they implemented it was a bit simple and crude.

They stipulated that after a certain date, all deceased persons in the area would be cremated.

As a result, some elderly people actually choose to commit suicide before the deadline in order to have their bodies buried.

From this extreme behavior, you can imagine how much influence this traditional idea has on people.

Yang Yuan felt that he had cursed to his heart's content, but Wanqi Xie was filled with shock, anger, fear, and fear.

The old man was so angry that a mouthful of thick phlegm got stuck in his throat. He was actually scolded to death by Yang Yuan.

……

Cheng Mu, the deputy minister of the Dali Temple who witnessed the whole incident, saw that Wanqi Xie was scolded to death, and he himself became the target of beatings, scolding and crying by Wanqi's family, so he simply left and ran to the Golden Palace to report the news.

Cheng Mu did not exaggerate, he objectively told everything that happened.

It was difficult for Cheng Sicheng. He actually remembered most of the conversation between Yang Yuan and Wanqi Xie and tried his best to restore it.

After listening to Cheng Mu's description, there was silence in the Golden Palace.

Everyone was a little confused. One of them felt that Wanqi Xie’s death was... too hasty.

Another reason is that Yang Yuan is at the center of the storm, how dare he do that!

He is... too much of a troublemaker!
"Geese, geese, geese..." In the silence, a loud goose cry suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked at His Excellency the Vice Emperor.

Jin Wang Zhao Yu quickly shut up, endured it for a while, frowned and said: "Yang Yuan's temper is too great..."

All the ministers looked at Zhao Yu in surprise.

Is His Royal Highness Prince Jin wrong?

Your Highness, are you trying to say that Wanqi Xie is too arrogant?

But then Zhao Yu said, "Wanqi Xie's body, ahem... is so decayed and broken."

Out of professional habit, Dali Temple Minister Wu Shu was already thinking about what crime Yang Yuan had committed.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is no...

The crime of "swearing" has existed since ancient times, but it was mainly used to maintain the system of hierarchy.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were regulations:
Anyone who insults their grandparents or parents will be put to death.

Slaves who insulted their heads could be sentenced to death by hanging.

besides……

Gone.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, another crime was added to the "crime of swearing", which was that if ordinary people swore at each other and it was brought to the government office, both sides would be beaten with a stick.

However, if you are a person with honors, then congratulations, even if you live in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is not illegal for you to curse others.

So there was a saying at that time, "A monk's stuttering is everywhere, a matchmaker's gossip is everywhere, and a scholar's cursing is everywhere."

Of course, this scolding still does not include insulting one's closest relatives and elders, which means death, no room for negotiation.

The Dali Temple Minister Wu Shu thought carefully about the laws of the Song Dynasty and realized that there was really no way to deal with this situation.

However, he was still worried, so he cast inquiring glances at the Minister of Justice Zhang Fangxun and the Chief Censor Zhu Zhuo on his left and right.

The two legal bigwigs gave him an affirmative nod in response.

Wu Shu calmed down, holding the tablet in both hands, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, like a clay or wooden sculpture, very steady.

When the censor Xiao Hongji heard that Wanqi Xie was actually scolded to death by Yang Yuan, he was shocked.

He also hoped that it would not be long before the Jin troops marched south and defeated the Song army, and the emperor would definitely welcome back Prime Minister Wanqi and ask him to clean up the mess.

With your great backer, the glory will return to the court.

But I didn't expect...

Wanqi Xie was very kind to Xiao Hongji. Even if Xiao Hongji did not rely on Wanqi Xie to return to the court and be his backer, Xiao Yushi still bore this grudge in his heart.

He immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Yang Yuan always uses sensational words to win favor from the emperor, which angered the Jin Kingdom and ruined the good situation between the Song and Jin countries since the 'Shaoxing Peace Agreement'.

Now Yang Yuan cursed Wanqi Xie with vicious words again. Although Wanqi Xie was guilty, his crime did not warrant the death penalty. The court had already made a fair judgment and exiled him to Danzhou.

However, Yang Yuan scolded Wanqi Xie to death. After all, Wanqi Xie was a former prime minister, so how could he allow a mere magistrate to insult him at will, let alone scold him to death.

Yang Yuan is truly a rude and disrespectful person who has brought disaster to the country and the people. I beg you to execute Yang Yuan to thank the world!"

Immediately, some censors who were about to be laid off came forward.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I beg you to execute Yang Yuan!"

The faces of several prime ministers were gloomy at this time.

Whether they get along with Wanqi Xie is another matter.

But, Wanqi Xie was once a member of their circle after all.

As a result, he was scolded to death by Yang Yuan just after he was dismissed from office...

This incident inevitably makes people feel sad for the loss of the rabbit.

Seeing the public outcry, Zhao Yuan lost his temper and looked at the three judicial officials and asked, "Dali Temple, what crime did Yang Yuan commit by cursing Wanqi Xie to death?"

The Dali Temple Minister Wu Shugang and the other two bigwigs in the judicial community reached a consensus, and then he came out with his hu tablet in hand, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, the only relevant thing in the law is the 'crime of cursing', and the 'crime of cursing' does not involve this kind of situation."

Jin Wang Zhao Yu said happily: "Then he is not guilty? I told you that it was Wanqi Xie's body that was decaying and his death was coming. What does this have to do with Yang Yuan?"

He might choke to death if he drinks a mouthful of porridge, so is the porridge also guilty? If Yang Yuan is found guilty, then everyone should be careful about what they say in the future. If someone dies of old age accidentally and blames you, you won’t be able to explain yourself. "

Xiao Hongji said angrily: "Sir, if you don't kill Yang Yuan, the world will be in turmoil, people will be dissatisfied, and the government will be out of order!"

"I beg you to execute Yang Yuan!"

"I second the proposal!"

The censors who were about to be laid off came to their senses again.

Tang Situi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Kong Yanzhou has led his troops to Yingzhou and is sharpening his sword. But there is also news from Yingzhou that the Emperor of Jin still hopes that our Song State will make its attitude clear and abide by the peace agreement so that the two countries can still live in harmony with each other.

I think the Jin people's suspicion is that our Great Song Dynasty has selected Yang Yuan as the top scholar. Yang Yuan's speech was full of passionate words. The Jin people misunderstood that this would be the future national policy of our Great Song Dynasty, and they were afraid, which is understandable. "

Tang Situi paused and continued, "Since the Jin people have spread this rumor, it is obviously still possible to resolve this war through negotiations. Can the court send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom to negotiate peace?

I think that sending Yang Yuan as an envoy can show the sincerity of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, by having Yang Yuan contact and talk with the Jin Emperor, the Jin Emperor can understand the original intention of the Song Dynasty to "treat each other with courtesy and control each other with force". The key point is to "treat each other with courtesy". If the Jin Kingdom does not send troops to invade, the Song Dynasty will never take the initiative to provoke a conflict. "

Xiao Hongji's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed, "Yang Yuan has been lurking in the Northern Kingdom for ten years and is familiar with the internal situation in the Northern Kingdom. It will be easier to calm down the war if he represents the Song Dynasty in the peace talks. I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!" A group of censors who were about to be laid off and reduced to "ready for errands" hurriedly followed.

Goose King Zhao Yu said grimly: "Qin Hui sent more than a hundred members of Yuwen Xuzhong's family to the Jin Kingdom, where they were brutally slaughtered by the Jin people. Are you going to follow Qin Hui's example now?"

Qin Hui has been judged as a traitor to the country.

After hearing this, Tang Shitui felt a little embarrassed.

Tang Situi said in a deep voice: "King of Jin! I am acting out of a public interest. If there is still a possibility of calming down the war between Song and Jin, I will definitely send people to the Kingdom of Jin for peace talks.

Others can go, so why can't Yang Yuan go? If Tang is the right person, even if the court asks Tang to go, Tang will not hesitate. "

Xiao Hongji immediately said, "When two countries are at war, envoys are not killed. As an envoy, Yang Yuan is not the same as Yuwen Xuzhong's family. Why should the king worry about this?"

The real reason why the Jin Kingdom sent troops had nothing to do with Yang Yuan.

Zhao Yuan knew this very well.

Yang Yuan has already taken the blame, there is no reason to let him die again.

When two countries are at war, don't they kill the envoys?

Haha, there are not too many “envoys” who were beheaded in history!
However, it would not be appropriate to refute it openly now.

The ministers had been holding on to the fact that Yang Yuan had brought in the Jin soldiers, and they demanded that he be held accountable.

Now Yang Yuan cursed Wanqi Xie to death again.

Although there are no relevant regulations to punish this crime in the law, his behavior has now made many people dissatisfied.

Didn’t you see that Tang Shitui, who knew the truth about the Jin people’s sending troops, stood up?

Therefore, Zhao Yuan used a "delay tactic" and said, "Whether the news that the Jin emperor was interested in peace talks was officially released by the Jin country or not, it is still uncertain at this time. Prime Minister Tang, please wait until the officials find out the source of the news before making any decision."

This court meeting ended abruptly.

Those who impeached Yang Yuan failed to achieve their goal, but the overall situation became increasingly unfavorable for Yang Yuan.

In Lin'an Prefecture, in the North Hall, the smile on Zhang Mi's face became more and more pleased.

"Butt-touching hand? Yang Yuan, I owe this nickname to you!"

Zhang Mi grinned and said to himself: "When you die, I will find a way to take your wives and concubines into my house.

This elegant name you bestowed upon me, I must call it ‘worthy of its name’ to do you justice, hehehe…”

……

Privy Council, Machine Room, Eight-Cornered Hall.

Fei Yuye placed a letter of resignation on Zheng Yuandong's desk.

Zheng Yuandong glanced at the resignation letter and said to Fei Yuye, "You want to go to the Kingdom of Jin?"

Fei Yuye said in a deep voice: "My father's life or death is unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. As a child, how can I feel at ease?"

Zheng Yuandong frowned and said, "You are alone and a woman. If you go to the North, what can you do?"

Fei Yuye shook her head: "I don't care about life or death, I just want peace of mind."

Zheng Yuandong looked at Fei Yuye deeply and said, "You want to fulfill your filial duty, and I can't stop you. But if you find your father, he is still alive, and it is even possible that he has fallen into the hands of the Jin people, but the Jin Kingdom has kept it secret. What can you do? Are you going to the Jin Kingdom just to die with your father?"

Fei Yuye said, "I will just act according to circumstances. What else can I do? Can I just do nothing? Since my father hasn't sent back any definite news, Yuye has to go on this trip anyway."

Zheng Yuandong put his hands behind his back and paced around the Bafu Hall.

Fei Yuye said in a deep voice: "Please obey my order and fulfill it!"

Seeing Zheng Yuandong pacing in silence, Fei Yuye bit her lip and said, "If you all refuse to obey my order, I will resign and leave!"

Zheng Yuandong stopped and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I have thought of a way. If this method is feasible, then your chances of finding your father will be greater. If your father is still alive, your hope of saving him and returning to the Song Dynasty... will also be greater."

Fei Yuye was moved and said, "Please speak!"

Zheng Yuandong said: "At the court meeting today, Prime Minister Tang suggested that we should send envoys to negotiate with the Kingdom of Jin and make a final effort."

Fei Yuye said: "Du Chengzhi means..."

Zheng Yuandong said: "If our dynasty can really send an envoy, and you... find a legitimate reason to join the envoy, many things will be easy to do with your identity as an envoy.

Moreover, in this way, you are still an official of my Speed ​​​​Office, and you can mobilize the "Flying Cicada Secret Agent" dispatched by my Speed ​​​​Office in Yanjing.

With people like them who have already taken root in Yanjing, you won’t be blind and at a loss as to what to do.”

Fei Yuye's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Has the court... agreed to send an envoy?"

Zheng Yuandong shook his head and said, "Prime Minister Tang advised that Yang Yuan be sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

But you also know that the Jin soldiers' march south has nothing to do with Yang Yuan, so the emperor will naturally not agree to it."

When Fei Yuye heard this, the light in her eyes dimmed again.

Zheng Yuandong looked at Fei Yuye and said, "But if Yang Yuan takes the initiative to ask for a mission and is willing to go to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy, the emperor will have no reason to refuse."

Fei Yuye frowned and said, "Yang Yuan strongly advocates being tough on Jin. The Jin people must hate him deeply. What reason does he have to take the initiative to ask for orders and walk into the tiger's mouth?"

Zheng Yuandong said: "This is the problem! If you go by yourself, you will just give your life to your father. This is foolish filial piety. How can it benefit your father?

But to increase the chances of rescuing your father, the best way is to use the delegation as a cover.

In order to send an envoy, Yang Yuan had to take the initiative to request it.

Therefore, if you can convince Yang Yuan to take the initiative to write to the emperor to ask for permission to go on a mission, then it will be done!"

Upon hearing this, Fei Yuye remained silent.

Persuading someone to die and giving her a chance to save her father, this... can this convince her?

Zheng Yuandong emphasized, "Yuye, if you want your father to come back alive, this is... the best way!"
