Chapter 285
That's it! Yan Hongyi also wanted to use these two people to talk to the Wing King, pointing out that the Wing King's lies were angry about the things that scared them before.
The main owner left, Yan Suyi and the others had no way to inquire about the truth of the matter, and couldn't help but focus on the existing two.
"Can you tell me what you talked about with the Wing King?" Yan Suyi asked politely.
"There is no negotiation, only one side." Ji Hui bit it to death and didn't let go, in his knowledge that Yan Guo was stronger than Mu Guo, it was right to choose Yan Guo, although Grandpa took a fancy to Mu Guo.
"Yes." Yan Suyi looked the two of them up and down with a pair of ink pupils, and he didn't look at the place when he lied, but it was a pity that he had a talented face, and the strange Taoist literati were difficult, and the ability to reverse right and wrong was really disgusting from his bones.
"You are waiting for the prince to write down, the war is still ongoing, please go back." It is not yet known that Yan Suyi is not very willing to pick up the rags that the Wing King does not want to discard.
"This ......" There is no definite answer how to go back to the errand, Ji Fang and the two looked at each other and did not know what the prince of Yan Guo thought.
"Go, this is the barracks, let you wait for the first time to set foot in it, and remember to be brave in the future." Those who have courage and no plans will succeed more than they will lose, Yan Suyi combined with the attitude of the Wing King and the words of the two to piece together the general framework of the matter, the literati are so disgusting, one set in front of the other and one behind the other, the Wing King said that this kind of person should be killed, so as not to become disgusting flies in the future Buzzing in front of his ears and eyes, and he can't drive away.
"Please." Zhan Feifei got up and made a gesture to see off the guest.
Ji Fang and the two couldn't, they looked at each other and knew that there was no hope of staying in, so they had to leave first and go home to discuss with their elders before making a decision.
"What the hell!" Yan Hongyi scolded. "It's great to think that you are a hidden family, and when you take down the territory of the country, what kind of bullshit will still become a slave of the country, and you will boast of being high in front of us. I'm tired of living. β
"Probably not deeply involved in the world, my brain can't turn around, and it's really impossible to bargain with Yan Guo." The corners of Zhan Feifei's lips curled slightly, and he smiled so happily.
"I haven't been deeply involved in the world, I think it's because my brain is squeezing the door and I can't tell the difference between the upper and lower levels." Yan Hongyi hates the people who pretend to be foreign in front of him the most, coupled with the ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, the crime is increased by one degree, and they are all qualified to kill them.
"One has no official body and the other is incapable. It's not good. "Just relying on the name of the ethereal and ethereal hermit to deceive the ignorant people, it is a bit self-defeating to show off in front of them.
"The Winged King's ability to make up stories with his eyes open is growing." The words were full of sarcasm. Yan Hongyi's lungs hurt because of this.
"Whether it's a story or not can't be generalized." Zhan Junfeizuo commented on his own point of view, "It's certain that I've seen it, as for what I said, it's nothing more than what those two people said, and I want to take advantage of the prosperity to ascend to the sky one step at a time." For the opposite eye, the most likely problem lies with the family behind the two people. The conditions offered by the Wing King were not attractive enough, so another pitch came here. β
"There may or may not be a friend in the mouth of the Wing King, but the focus of the problem is not on such a person." Zhan Junfei thought about it again and again, "The Wing King looks like he has nothing to hide, and at this time, will Shuo ...... be in the trap again?"
"Regardless of whether it's yes or no, in my opinion, the Wing King's ability to deceive people is one by one." doesn't blink, Yan Hongyi hates this kind of person the most.
"What's wrong with the Winged King lying even though he lies?" Zhan Junfei asked funny, "She doesn't have a good relationship with us. Maintain only superficial cooperation. It's not a close friend with a knife in both ribs, and he grew up wearing a pair of pants. The boundary of the relationship itself is blurred, and while asking others, why not go back and look at yourself. β
"Which side are you on?" How to turn his elbow out, Yan Hongyi was furious, grabbed an object on the table and threw it at Zhan Junfei.
Zhan Jun Feiyan hurriedly raised his hand to pick it up, and saw that there was ink on half of the ink strip, and his face suddenly darkened, no wonder he felt that his hand was wet, he raised his hand and threw it back the way he came, took a handkerchief and wiped his hands, with a look of disgust.
Yan Hongyi saw an object flying towards the door, turned his head to dodge, and with a snap, the flying thing fell to the ground, and he didn't have the heart to pick it up.
Yan Suyi's face was full of helplessness, and he was angry and funny to watch the two of them play petty, and the child who threw things also used his methods, I really don't know what to say.
"I'm telling the truth, and the Winged King has a very valid reason for deceiving people." Zhan Junfei particularly emphasized, "The exchange of courtesies is a harmless rhetoric, and it doesn't hinder anyone or anything." β
"The Wing King is carrying out a conspiracy behind our back, how can you take it lightly." Yan Hongyi glared at Zhan Yufei, who was saying good things.
"The Wing King has his own plans, and there is no conflict with the general direction, when it comes to ghosts, forget it, why should they hold on to each other." Zhan Junfei did not mean to stimulate Yan Hongyi, but completely took a case-by-case attitude.
"Who is holding the old yellow calendar!" Yan Hongyihu said with an unconvinced face: "The Wing King is digging a corner behind people's backs, and it is reasonable!" β
"Heh, you're too embarrassed to use strong words, just those two corners, do you want it for nothing?" Zhan Xiaofei snorted disdainfully.
"You took the wrong medicine, and you always folded my table." Yan Hongyi was choked by Zhan Xiaofei and blushed and had a thick neck, did he talk like this?
"I'd advise you to calm down." Zhan Junfei didn't care about the child, "The Wing King has pit you on the bow and crossbow, one yard to one yard, haven't you been retaliated against for so long, why bother to be so petty, let the Wing King see the joke." β
"Which one, I'm almost exhausted by the Wing King!" Yan Hongyi was planted in the hands of the Wing King, and this face was gone.
"Don't mix personal anger, in all fairness, the Wing King has done us a great favor." Zhan Junfei said to himself as he inferred, "If the Wingless King goes to take the lead, what should these hidden families with false names do?" β
"What to do?" Yan Hongyi didn't take the hidden family in his eyes at all, "What is the original and what is still now, the prerequisite must be honest, don't have some crooked thoughts that shouldn't be." β
"Without crooked thoughts, how can you achieve immortal fame." Zhan Junfei complained about this, "The hidden family is the hard work of several generations, how can it be passed down from the unknown." Only vigorous and vigorous is the right way for the family to prosper. β
"The Winged King has a different point of view from us, and the way of looking at things is very different, and the reason why I approached these people was partly out of temptation. After all, the reputation of the common people and students believe this, on the other hand, they probably want to use the hands of these people to better stabilize the uneasy factors in the land of the country. β
"The result?" Yan Hongyi asked.
"The eyes of the hidden family are higher than the top, and they are useless." With the vision of the Winged King, it can be discarded, and it is not much better in itself, Zhan Junfei is still very convinced that the Winged King's eyes are like a torch.
"Just for this, I didn't hesitate to fabricate facts and get nothing in the end!" Yan Hongyi couldn't figure out what was in the Wing King's mind.
"The Wing King wants to use people who happen to be in the realm, and if they are replaced by us, these people are not easy to dismiss." Zhan Junfei only glimpsed the surface but couldn't go deep inside, and his intuition told him that the Wing King wanted more.
"Either keep it or die. What better options are there. Yan Hongyi shrugged his shoulders and said boringly, "These people are not under our control, they have to report to the top." β
"The father will not reuse the management and interference of the people who defend the country." There is no shortage of talents in Yanguo. Even if the territory of the country is conquered, it should be managed by the people of the Yan country, otherwise what is the use of defeating it, the aborigines are in charge of the original land, which is really ridiculous. Yan Suyi pointed to the root point.
"There's no need to go any further." Spread his eyes and make up his mind. "If we dig deeper, we can't take the Wing King, we hope to close one eye and one eye."
"So be it." Yan Suyi made a decision before his younger brother spoke, "The four cities are not easy to attack. "Although the people's will is in turmoil, it still does not have the effect of automatically giving up resistance.
Yan Hongyi's unblurted out three words of 'why' were stuck in his throat, and he almost didn't come up in one breath, and his face was as red as a boiled shrimp.
On the other hand, the tide is peaceful, as if nothing has happened, what to do, and it is not yourself who should be troubled.
"The Ji Fang family is really shameless." Xu Mian sneered. "Avoid us and switch to Yan Kingdom, it's easy to calculate." It's a pity that the brain is really not enough. I couldn't tell the situation, and I didn't know that Mu Yan and the two countries dared to come alone after forming an alliance.
"Speaking of which, how did the two of them enter the Yan military camp intact?" Xu Mian suddenly remembered this stubble, the rules in the army were strict, preventing outsiders from entering and leaving at will, and the checkpoints set up were strict.
"I don't know what to do, pedal on two boats." Xu Mian was angry and greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the two families of Ji Fang several times, especially angry.
When he returned to his residence, he greeted Hongrui with an anxious face as soon as he entered the door, and did not wait for Xichao to sit down and open his mouth to report the movements of the Ji Fang family.
"The Fang family and the Ji family plan to cross the master and contact the Yan country in order to achieve the desired effect." Hongrui was sarcastic while detailing the departure of the two Ji Fangs, as well as the attitudes of the other hidden families.
"Master, do you want to deal with it?" Hongrui hatefully wanted to teach the two families a profound lesson.
"Let it go." Xi Chao didn't want to care, "What they are looking for is Yan Guo, and they will make trouble by themselves." "Let's see what tricks we can make.
"Leave it alone, okay?" Xu Mian was amazed at the Winged King's indifference, unlike the Winged King's style of acting.
"They will only be staring at the half of the land captured by the Yan State, and the people's hearts are turbulent, so they can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and even control the people to achieve their goals." In the end, the reason why Xi Chao didn't want to care about it was because it was not his own territory, and it didn't affect himself, so why bother wading into troubled waters. Maybe it will be advantageous to take back the other half of the land without bloodshed in the future.
"The Yan brothers are scared, and they will definitely use the two families to vent their personal anger." Xu Mian understood what the Wing King meant, and he personally swept the snow in front of the door regardless of the frost on the tiles of others, not to mention that this other person was the Yan brothers who were not on the same page as the Wing King, and some of them were lively.
"Keep an eye on it, don't let these rats dirty your territory." As long as you don't cross the boundary, the tide has always been wide and follow them.
"Yes." Hongrui was unwilling, so she had to listen to her master's orders and retreat to pass the news.
Xu Mian let out a long breath, and the hatred suppressed in his heart disappeared a lot, so why should he be angry with himself like a villain.
As the New Year approaches, the most unwanted to celebrate the New Year includes the ignorant Mu country, especially the courtiers who can't reach the world, the truncation of the border news has caused a great impact on their hearts, although they often tell themselves that no news is the best news, it is still difficult to hide their anxiety, the days are turning over day by day, except for the emperor's calm and leisurely courtiers rarely have a good night's sleep.
The courtiers wanted to ask about the border pass, but there was no way to know the news, and even the caravan ordered not to go out of the border, and the news was even more difficult to obtain, except for one family, the Xu family.
The emperor didn't know what was crazy, and one day he issued an edict mentioning the matter of the imperial business. The Xu family in Linzhou City was selected, and the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government suddenly had a question mark in their heads, and the affairs of the border pass were in a hurry, and the fire in the house was not effectively resolved. Why did you suddenly mention the imperial merchant abruptly?
There is no suspense about the courtiers' objections, the position of the imperial merchant has always been a good position to make money and wealth, generally speaking, the establishment of the imperial merchant needs to meet several requirements, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated from the background, of course, the time spent in this can be measured by gold and silver, and this errand is done alone.
To choose, all three positions must be filled, how can it be like this without going through the court discussion and without in-depth investigation. Without going through the selection, the holy decree is directly issued and the coffin is conclusive! The civil and military officials can't see through it, and can't figure out why the emperor mentioned irrelevant things at this juncture? And only one is designated as the imperial merchant, and the other position is vacant.
No matter how the courtiers quote the scriptures and apply the old calendar to obstruct the issuance of the holy decree, it is in vain, and the emperor is determined to do things. There is no need for the courtiers to give orders, they don't care to avoid the past directly and neatly, and exercise their own power, and the courtiers have to stare dryly and hold their breath. There is no way to take the emperor.
It was not without courtiers who accused this of being unjust. However, the emperor slapped the courtiers directly in the face on the grounds that they did not obey orders, who told the courtiers to be smart, and what the emperor said was reasonable to do before, and I don't know all this.
There are shrewd and analytical courtiers who think that only one caravan is allowed to enter and exit, whether it is closely related to the border war, what do you think about the most need for war, grain and grass, raising grain and grass not only the court contributes but also often buys some. Merchants have become fragrant and sweet.
Some ministers even went to check the merchants and Xu's family in Beijing, and found that all the caravans that had run through the border pass had different Cheng dΓΉ to raise the price of rice and grain. And the Xu family is sold according to the original, okay, it's not more than I don't know it, no wonder the emperor has to insist on making the Xu family the imperial businessman, the righteousness is not in front of him, this is a great good thing for the country and the people, and for a while, the courtiers instantly discovered that the truth was so simple.
At this point, those businessmen who had the support of the courtiers behind them wanted to know nothing about the Xu family, and they were secretly warned not to find the bad luck of the Xu family at this critical juncture.
All emperors and businessmen must be faithful, this is the foundation of life, and those who can make a modest contribution to this are praised when the country is in trouble.
I don't have a brain and want to make a fortune, the emperor is already open to the net if he doesn't punish the crime, and he still wants to fight with the Xu family, what ability does he have to fight, don't be embarrassed, stay where it is cool.
The courtiers did not stand up to oppose the imperial merchant because of the illegal system, why should they wait until the end of the war to discuss, there is still room for profit in the remaining two vacant seats, and there is no hurry at this time.
The matter of the caravan delivering news was once again put on the agenda, and the courtiers were eager to know the situation at the border gates, and asked the emperor if he knew or not.
The Xu family has no intertwined relationship with the officials of the DPRK and China, and the officials of the Xu family are not willing to put down their bodies to ask for a businessman, so they thought of another way, businessman to businessman. There is a common language and common interests, which is the most suitable to be this lobbyist, no need to bring courtiers, just say that they are worried about the border, there is no news, it is difficult to sleep, plus the lure of money, I don't believe that the Xu family let go of this opportunity to make money.
The merchant listened to the official's method and had a flash of inspiration, buying and selling news is not a thing, it has been like this throughout the ages, sometimes the caravan can bring back useful news, sometimes it is scattered and incomplete rumors, and those who wish to take the bait love to buy it or not.
Is it okay to buy and sell messages, so is it okay to stuff items? Merchants want to drill on this loophole, the items urgently needed at the border can be sold at a good price, rice and grain bear the brunt of the first place, but the Xu family has rounded up the grain and grass, other businessmen can not openly rob it, after all, the Xu family has a new name of the imperial businessman, it is hot, no one comes forward to find uncomfortable, there are other items to negotiate, many businessmen have thought about it, have found the branch opened by the Xu family, and point out to find the shopkeeper who can be in charge of the negotiation.
Xu Chenlin was arrested and became a strong man, the principal of the Xu family was hanging, and good things could not be pushed out, and the Xu family all moved up and down, and reached a final consensus with the interested businessmen.
The caravan of the Xu family to and from the border is four or five times larger than usual, fortunately, the Xu family has no shortage of people to escort some families, and there is a signboard of the imperial merchant, there is no halfway robbery without a long eye, you must know that behind each businessman is more or less implicated in the officials of the court, that is all Beijing officials, more powerful than the local officials, and they can't afford to offend.
After Xu Chenlin learned the news, he frowned tightly and decided to inform the Wing King after discussing with Yan Lu, and finally the Wing King brought him to get the position of the imperial businessman.
The news quickly reached the hands of the Xi Dynasty, and after reading it, he only told Xu Chenlin not to worry too much, just concentrate on the matter at hand, and the businessman could sell goods for profit, but the news was not revealed.
If the officials of the DPRK and China are too active, should they find something to divert their attention, Xi Chao flicked his fingertips and thought for a while, and ordered Hongrui to send a message to Mu Jinming, so as not to let the courtiers panic.
The New Year is approaching and asks Xu Chenlin how the road is being repaired, whether the items purchased during the New Year are sufficient, and whether the people are motivated.
"Buy some meat, treat your soldiers, the battle for the New Year is not easy outside." Xi Chao summed up the surplus money in his hand and took out some of it for the New Year's Day purchase.
Hongrui happily went on an errand, thinking that no matter what kind of meat she had, she would buy some of it back, and she didn't have to be too particular about eating out.
Xu Mian opened his mouth when he entered the door and said: "I saw a familiar figure just now, it seems to be one of the two of Ji Fang, who was intercepted outside, said a lot of words, and didn't hear the specific content far away, but he left in a moment." β
"Didn't you say looking for the Yan brothers, how did you get to our territory?" Xu Mian didn't go over to ask in detail, because he was afraid that he would be dragged and entangled in his body, and he would be unlucky for the New Year.
"It seems that I touched a nose of ash from the Yan brothers, and then I remembered your kindness." A good wall grass falls with the wind, where is there a advantage, Xu Mian snorted coldly and was quite disdainful.
"Whatever." Xichao had no time to take care of it, and his mind was full of the arrangement of the New Year's Festival.
"Didn't Zhan Junfei come over?" Xu Mian was surprised, "The original covenant still exists, why don't you see a back and forth?" β
"The Yan army is busier than us, and the problem of grain and grass has not been effectively solved, and Zhan Junfei is running around." Xichao replied softly.
"Why didn't the Yan brothers occupy the granary like you did at the beginning?" Xu Mian secretly said that there are examples in the past, why not use it?
"The premise of grabbing the granary is that the people still have surplus grain at home." Xi Chao smiled, "It's so easy to grab, there are many doorways, and the granary was given to Yan Jun before I saw it." β
"Oh, I see." Xu Mian suddenly laughed and said, "You are setting up a trap to let Yan Guo carry the black pot." "Sure enough, how can the Wing King have that kind heart, he is waiting here. (To be continued......)
