Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 879: A coward who grows other people’s ambitions and destroys his own prestige
His words stunned the courtiers.

Explain what?
As a victorious country, what does Dongling need to explain to Beiyan?
But Emperor Yuan Zhen, who was sitting high on the throne, was like a coward who was afraid of being beaten. His first reaction to this matter was how to explain it to Bei Yan.

Bai Mingwei was indifferent to the things thrown down. She said loudly: "Your Majesty, we don't need to explain anything in Dongling."

"The person pretending to be an envoy is a native of Northern Yan, not me from Dongling. He must be a faction in Northern Yan that opposes the peace negotiation."

"Those people wanted to sabotage the peace negotiations between the two countries and tried every means to obstruct it, so the fake envoy incident happened."

"It's our turn, Dongling, to ask Beiyan for an explanation and ask them what Beiyan means, but they actually made a fake envoy to fool me, Dongling!"

At this time, Qin Fengye's group couldn't sit still.

Someone said in a strange tone: "General Zhenbei is so loud. This happened in Dongling, at the feet of the emperor."

"The team of Beiyan envoys was actually robbed even though they were being escorted by the deputy envoy. The deputy envoy was also bribed by the fake envoy."

"The accompanying deputy envoy is from Dongling. If Beiyan uses this as an excuse not to negotiate peace, and war breaks out again and everyone is devastated, can you shoulder this responsibility?!"

Bai Mingwei retorted: "Sir, how can you make others' ambitions destroy your own prestige? Now it's him from Beiyan who comes to ask for peace, and it's him who is from Beiyan pretending to be an envoy."

"It was me, Dongling Zhanli! What qualifications does Beiyan have to question Dongling's army?"

"My lord, this kind of thinking will give Beiyan a reason to make excuses and encourage their arrogance?!"

The man didn't give up and continued to be weird: "General Zhenbei stubbornly believes that this is Beiyan's fault. Could it be that he is worried that this matter will involve him?"

Bai Ming raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Is this Lord Beiyan's internal agent? Why is he always helping Beiyan speak up?"

"You said that the general is afraid that this matter will involve him. Are you kidding me? The general is only responsible for welcoming you, not protecting him!"

"My general discovered the trick of the fake envoys in time to prevent them from entering the city and causing trouble. Afterwards, my general actively searched for the Beiyan envoys. Which part of the process was not handled properly?"

"Is it possible that the attack on Beiyan will be far-fetched and blamed on me?"

Those words left the adult speechless.

Bai Mingwei withdrew his gaze and raised his hands towards Emperor Yuan Zhen:
"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing at this time is to try to find out whether there are any surviving envoys, and send a letter of credence to Beiyan to explain the situation."

Song Chengzhang, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Your Majesty, Dongling should really ask Beiyan for an explanation on this matter."

"Some people from Beiyan pretended to be envoys and brought a large number of weapons to Beijing. What is their intention? Is it because Beiyan did not want to seek peace, so they built a plank road in secret and invaded Chencang!"

"While they were sending envoys to Dongling, they were secretly brewing a conspiracy of fake envoys with the intention of harming His Majesty!"

"If the plan fails, they can just attack Dongling and ask for their crimes, in order to gain greater benefits when negotiating terms and conditions."

Someone said: "The lower officials do not agree with what Song Taifu said! Beiyan sent envoys to Beijing, which shows their sincerity."

"It is good for both countries to end the war and negotiate peace now. Even if there is a fight, it should be done after recuperation and recovery. Why do they need to cause trouble?"

Song Chengzhang argued with reason: "I don't agree with what you said. Yes, it is in the interests of both countries to negotiate peace now."

"However, if this false envoy is allowed to come before His Majesty, draw his weapon and kill everyone present, what do you think will be the consequences?"

"Didn't you hear Du Qinyu's description of the battle scene between the imperial guards and the fake envoys? Even if we are well-defended, we will be caught off guard by them!"

"Once someone is injured, at least the peace talks between the two countries collapse, or at worst, chaos breaks out between the two countries. Even if they don't come back, they can still take advantage of it!"

A conspiracy by Qin Fengye turned into the conspiracy behind the peace talks between the two countries.

Bai Mingwei listened quietly to the argument between the two sides, and waited until Song Chengzhang started to quarrel with the Confucian scholars and scolded a group of cowards who had grown up on other people's ambitions and destroyed his own prestige.

She handed over to Emperor Yuan Zhen: "Your Majesty, is this a coincidence, or is Beiyan doing it intentionally? Let's see what attitude the surviving envoys will have towards the fake envoys."

"If they raise an army to investigate, it will expose their wolfish ambitions. We, Dongling, are a country of etiquette, and we will treat them with courtesy, but it does not mean that we are afraid of Beiyan."

"We are the one who has the initiative in this peace negotiation, because it was us, Dongling, who beat Beiyan until he was unable to fight back. It was us, Dongling, who defeated Beiyan!"

A few words speak loudly.

Emperor Yuan Zhen remained silent.

In this kind of thing, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong.

The key is who is more arrogant.

If someone stepped forward and trampled Beiyan under his feet, it would be Dongling Youli.

But if Beiyan is aggressive, Dongling will have to take a detour.So when it comes to pretending to be an envoy, he doesn't care that much about the truth.

What he cared about most was Song Chengzhang's words.

Because the carriage team and the items it brought have already been recorded in the book.

In order to show respect, the things carried by envoys will generally not be inspected.

If Bai Mingwei hadn't discovered the conspiracy of the fake envoys, he would have asked those people to transport several large carts of weapons to the palace.

Then assassinate him...

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Zhen suddenly became excited.

He looked at the courtiers in the palace, and he didn't like them no matter what.

Then he thought of Qin Fengye again.

He was not sure whether the assassination would stop here. If Qin Aiqing was here, she would definitely block the sword for him if the assassination happened again.

Qin Aiqing must be released.

After making up his mind, Emperor Yuan Zhen said: "What Song Taifu and General Zhenbei said is not unreasonable. This matter is indeed not Dongling's fault."

"But I still feel that General Zhenbei's ability to handle things is really limited. Fifty envoys found 39 bodies, which means that 11 people are still alive and dead."

"After traveling for so long, we only found three people. What's going on? Don't you want Beiyan to laugh at our Dongling ability?"

"If Qin Aiqing were here, we wouldn't have this kind of problem, so I decided to end Qin Aiqing's punishment at home early and call Qin Aiqing back to help General Zhenbei deal with the aftermath."

Bai Ming smiled slightly.

He obviously wanted to let Qin Fengye out, just say so directly, but he also reduced her to nothing.

But fortunately, she was already prepared.

After hearing this, she immediately responded: "Your Majesty, this is very difficult to handle."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was immediately unhappy: "What? Do you think Qin Aiqing is not as good as you?"

Bai Mingwei quickly denied: "I dare not go back to your majesty. It was just on the way back to escort the Northern Yan envoy Master Yuan that Master Yuan asked about Grand Master Qin."

"After much thought, I decided to inform Lord Yuan of the fact that Grand Master Qin was sent to stay at home to reflect on his fault, so as to demonstrate to him His Majesty's justice and strictness."

"Because I don't want Master Yuan to hear about this from other people's ears, so as not to damage the country's prestige."

"So I explained it very clearly. If your Majesty recalls Grand Master Qin at this time, I'm afraid Lord Yuan will think that your Majesty's decision is like child's play..."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's old face was ashen: "You!"

Song Chengzhang immediately recommended himself: "I would like to assist General Zhenbei in resolving this matter, and I would like your Majesty's permission."

Emperor Yuan Zhen saw that Song Chengzhang's nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

It's a pity that this old guy not only has the support of the Queen Mother, but he is also very cunning and can't catch any mistakes.

He originally wanted to use Bei Yan to embarrass Bai Mingwei, but now that Song Chengzhang himself came to his door, how could he not agree?

There are plenty of opportunities to let Qin Aiqing out, so there is no rush.

So he readily agreed: "That's it. If we don't handle it well and it leads to another war between the two countries, you two will kill yourself to apologize!"

They both responded at the same time: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that today's reception of the envoy was in vain, Emperor Yuan Zhen immediately dismissed all officials and asked the Ministry of Rites to be ready to arrange a second reception banquet at any time.

Coming out of Tai Chi Hall, Bai Mingwei went straight out of the palace.

At this time, Song Chengzhang stopped her: "General Zhenbei."

Bai Mingwei stopped and quickly walked to Song Chengzhang: "Please give me your instructions, sir."

Song Chengzhang's expression was solemn: "It's not convenient here. You can get on my carriage later. We'll tell you on the carriage."
