Chapter 898: Drag it out
Master Kong was proud, but he didn't know that his letter would be sent to the capital again, and it was all changed by Mo Li.
And Mo Li said that he would think about it for a few days, but he didn't expect this consideration to be half a month. Master Kong still thinks that he has to solve this matter a year ago,
Just went back to the capital for a good New Year, but I didn't expect Mo Lixiao'er to have no intention of talking about it at all, and it dragged on for half a month after a consideration.
I'm afraid that I don't want to go back to the capital for the New Year this time, Master Kong doesn't want to stay in this ghost place, there is not even a serious person who speaks human words, all of them are Huns, and they eat beef and mutton all day long, and they can't eat bird's nest or shark's fin.
Master Kong felt that this matter still had to bother Lord Wu, since Lord Wu had a good relationship with the Mo family, it was no problem to urge him.
Master Kong naturally explained his intentions to Lord Wu, but he didn't expect Lord Wu to hesitate for a long time, only saying that now Mo Li is already the boss of one side, and now he and Mo Li are enemies.
At this time, Master Kong was angry, and at this time, it didn't matter if there was any misunderstanding or not, the most important thing was to solve the matter of peace talks as soon as possible, and no one wanted to toss around blindly.
You must know that Master Kong loves to eat good tea and go to the teahouse to listen to music, and now in this remote border city, except for those Huns who play with big knives, I haven't heard the singing, and I haven't drunk a sip of good tea.
Unexpectedly, all the officials here are obedient, and no one pays attention to themselves and Lord Wu at all. Now Lord Wu and himself still live in this dilapidated inn. Every day in and out are lowly merchants,
What I see every day are the sturdy figures of those women in the border cities, and there are few who can see them at all. How can Master Kong stay here!
Master Kong gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, Lord Wu, I will write to the Empress Dowager to make it clear that Lord Wu is close to the Mo family, but it is just for peace talks, and there is no personal relationship at all."
Lord Wu sneered in his heart, this time he wrote such a letter, and he sent a letter slandering himself before. I think I'm a fool!
If she really wrote such a letter and returned to Beijing, according to the old woman's thoughts, I am afraid that she would be even more suspicious. Maybe you think you've bought Master Kong!
So this is naturally not possible, since you want to drag it out, you can drag it enough, anyway, Lord Wu still likes the border city, and the people here are simple. Even women can go out on the streets like men. You can also do business, if your wife sees it, she must be moved, and she will definitely say that this is a paradise.
Mrs. loves to be lively, and she also likes to go shopping, but she can't do it in the capital and her hometown. But now it seems that coming to the border city is the most suitable for his wife.
I'm afraid that my wife will really open a shop and start a small business! In fact, everyone here is very happy. They are all living a hard life, but the smile on their faces does not seem to be fake.
"Master Kong, let's be merciful. The old man really can't do this, the old lady has been loyal to the royal family all her life, and she can't do such a thing, even if it's for the sake of peace talks, the old man can't do it.
If Master Kong brings good wine and food, please come to the inn to have a good drink with Coach Mo, and contact how the relationship is. Presumably, according to Master Kong's true situation, it is very easy to make Coach Mo trust.
Master Kong is deeply valued by the Empress Dowager in the capital, and in the border city, Lord Kong should naturally be the main one, and the old man occupies the main position, but in fact it is just an empty shelf, where is there such a vision as Lord Kong? So Master Kong should let the old man go and let the old man be the stubborn loyal minister! ”
Lord Wu praised Master Kong inside and out, but he didn't want to do anything at all. Master Kong figured it out, so he could only grit his teeth secretly, staring at Lord Wu's beard and trembling angrily: "Lord Wu is really a loyal minister, but Lord Wu doesn't want to go back to Beijing for the New Year,
Seeing that it is autumn, but there is no eyebrows in the matter of peace talks, isn't Lord Wu in a hurry? Could it be that Lord Wu wants to stay in this ghost place for the New Year? ”
Of course, Lord Wu also wanted to return to Beijing, but before going out, his wife had explained that the final result was that the peace talks could not be reached, so he could not delay it. In this way, everyone is living in peace, and Mo Li's meaning is the same, drag the queen mother first, so that they can rest and recuperate in the border city.
And Lord Wu also knew that fighting a war needed food, grass and timing, and it was obvious that now was not the best time, so Mo Li had been waiting.
Since the general trend is like this, if you don't push the boat with the current, now it seems that no matter what the result is, you are useless, and you must die a miserable death in the end. For the sake of the family's livelihood, it is better to delay it first, maybe there is a turnaround?
Lord Wu frowned, and was rarely worried: "Naturally, I want to go back to Beijing, but the old man's wife is still looking forward to the old lady's return to Beijing in the capital?"
It's just that we are a passive party in this peace talks, and the initiative is in the hands of Coach Mo, if he is not willing to negotiate peace, there is no way to drag us like this.
If the Empress Dowager Mo is unwilling to negotiate peace, I believe that the Empress Dowager will not let us return to Beijing, and we will definitely have to work hard.
The purpose of the Empress Dowager sending Master Kong is to hope for Lord Kong, does Lord Kong hope that the Empress Dowager will be disappointed. I'm afraid that Master Kong can't afford this crime! ”
Master Kong's face darkened, and he muttered in his heart, this old man is dead to death, this time he came to the border city with him, he really poured blood mold for several lifetimes, if he can't complete the task of the empress dowager,
I'm afraid that it will be difficult to explain after returning to Beijing, but if it drags on like this, Master Kong has no bottom in his heart. Can it be done by dragging it out like this? Or is there no turnaround at all, but is the Mo family kid teasing himself?
Master Kong looked at Lord Wu with a suspicious face, only to see that Lord Wu was pinching his still black beard with a nonchalant face, obviously the two of them were about the same, why did they give birth to Hua Hair early?
"Lord Wu, do you think this Coach Mo wants to take Naqiao? Or is there no intention of peace talks at all, just to tease us? ”
Lord Wu knew that Master Kong was afraid, afraid that the Empress Dowager would be blamed after returning to the capital, so he thought that it would be best to explain Mo Li, if the peace talks could really be completed, it would indeed be a great achievement.
"Master Kong, we have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, our Wu family is He Jiafeng, presumably Master Kong knows best, and naturally hopes for peace talks.
The peace talks hurt the people the least, but now Coach Mo doesn't know much about the peace talks, and he doesn't know how much benefit the peace talks can bring him.
We only listen to the will of the Empress Dowager to negotiate peace, but we don't know how much the Empress Dowager is willing to pay and how to talk about it. I don't even know how much silver I have in my silver bag, so I run away and buy things from others, how can I know how many good things I can buy? ”
Master Kong nodded, this is indeed the reason, "Why don't we send a letter to the Empress Dowager and see how much the Empress Dowager is willing to pay?" ”
Lord Wu smiled knowingly, "Master Kong has finally figured it out!" (To be continued......)
