Chapter 658: The Lion Opens His Mouth
It's just that this bag is related to Li Xinchen's life experience, so they were also cautious when they inquired, and in the end, they didn't expect to gain anything, and in the end, they just said that this bag should be just an ornament, and it won't be over.
I didn't expect that this bag should still be on the family after all, but Hongnong Yang's Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· For a while, neither of them knew how to feel that the creation of fate had made people.
Of course, they would not be naΓ―ve to think that Hongnong Yang's cooperation with Li Xinchen was because of Li Xinchen's Hongnong Yang's descendants - Li Xinchen did not grow up in the family, and even this bag was just a token of identity, and there was no guarantee that this token originally belonged to Li Xinchen.
Hongnong Yang obviously also has their interests, and this coincides with Li Xinchen's thoughts. This kind of cooperation is still based on the strong power in the hands of Hongnong Yang and Li Xinchen.
However, this actually reassures Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie that this dual connection of blood and interests is obviously enough to ensure the stability of this cooperation and even the alliance in the future. And Yang Su, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, came in person to show his sincerity.
At least for the current Li Xinchen group, such a union is still of great benefit. So Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie didn't say anything more after they understood the reason.
Li Xinchen's life experience has become more and more complicated, and at least these rumors are leaking out now, it is not of much benefit to Li Xinchen, so it is reasonable for Li Xinchen to be so cautious. And now Li Xinchen has revealed everything and everything, which shows that he has no intention of deceiving Xiao Shilian or Pei Zilie.
"It is estimated that things will be entangled several times here," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "but it is conceivable that the imperial court should have given Xu Shanxin a bottom line, so it should not take long to bargain." You don't have to rush back first, and when the results come out, we still need to finalize the specific strength and accompanying personnel as soon as possible. β
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie are both in the same jaw, they had already expected this situation when they came, so they had already arranged all the affairs in advance, but they didn't care about the stay of this day and two days, and if they were in a hurry to go back at this time and rush back in a few days, the delay on the road would be far more than just stopping here and waiting.
Exhaled, Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "The next thing is to deal with Xu Shanxin." β
ββββββββββββ-
Compared with the last time he saw Li Xinchen, Xu Shanxin didn't feel much easier, and even more nervous, his palms were full of sweat.
Because last time Xu Shanxin just had the attitude of giving it a try, but now he is discussing with Li Xinchen as an envoy of the imperial court about Li Xinchen leading his troops into Jiankang Mansion, which is definitely not as simple as announcing the decree - even not long ago Xu Shanxin felt that the announcement was not an easy matter.
Once there is any careless operation, Xu Shanxin is the sinner who led the wolf into the house, Xu Shanxin doesn't want to bear this charge, after all, who knows if Li Xinchen will be another Hou Jing who stirred up Jiangnan.
Xu Shanxin, the bottom line of the imperial court, has already known through the letter sent by the imperial court recently, and this bottom line is expected by him. Chen Ji and Xu Ling discussed and finally decided to allow Li Xinchen to carry a maximum of 1,000 soldiers and horses, and these 1,000 soldiers and horses could not go by land, they could only enter the city once, and the rest of Li Xinchen's time in the capital, these soldiers and horses must be honestly stationed outside the city.
This condition is simple and complex, and it can be discussed for a long time if it is really discussed little by little. More importantly, Xu Shanxin, as a young minister, had no idea whether he had the ability to find the loopholes in the conditions put forward by Li Xinchen.
At this time, Li Xinchen was sitting on top of the council hall, with a huge map behind him, and on Li Xinchen's side, there was actually only one person, that is, King Gu Ye, who had been in charge of receiving the imperial court envoys.
Uncle Ang squinted slightly, looking Xu Shanxin up and down, and didn't know what he was thinking. But Xu Shanxin didn't dare to relax his vigilance, he knew that the imperial court, especially His Majesty, would not be willing to have Li Xinchen so rampant in and out of Jiankang Mansion, so it was inevitable that he would do something in some small details, such as not arranging the corresponding honor guard for Li Xinchen.
These things may seem insignificant, but those who know how will naturally laugh secretly when they see them. Li Xinchen obviously even considered these possible details, so he didn't let Xiao Shilian or Pei Zilie accompany him, but asked Gu Yewang to come.
If you want to talk about these etiquette arrangements, I am afraid that no one will know better than Guangluqing, who is in charge of etiquette in the imperial court, and King Gu Ye was the Guangluqing of the imperial court before this.
Xu Shanxin coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has agreed to General Zhenxi's request, how many soldiers and horses General Zhenxi intends to lead to Jiankang Mansion, Your Majesty also has a number in his heart, and the imperial court must also prepare reward materials and etiquette and other matters." β
While speaking, Xu Shanxin smiled helplessly in his heart, all dynasties and dynasties have records of military parades in the capital, but generally the imperial court directly orders how many soldiers and horses to come, and it is the first time I have heard that I asked the local people how many soldiers and horses they wanted.
So this is not the relationship that the court and its subordinates should have at all, and of course, Xu Shanxin did not expect Li Xinchen to be able to safely regard himself as Nan Chen's courtier.
Li Xinchen pondered for a moment and stretched out two fingers.
Xu Shanxin was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic: "Two hundred? β
I didn't expect Li Xinchen to know each other like this, isn't he really still a loyal minister of Nan Chen? Xu Shanxin thought as he reached out and picked up the teacup.
"No, two thousand." Li Xinchen directly interrupted Xu Shanxin, looked at Xu Shanxin with some suspicion, and then looked at his fingers, as if asking Xu Shanxin if he was stupid.
Hearing this, the tea in Xu Shanxin's mouth squirted out at once.
This Li Xinchen is clearly opening his mouth in the lion, and he dares to say two thousand soldiers and horses! He dared to report the number so much, why didn't he go directly with 20,000 soldiers and horses? It's better to change the dynasty directly. You must know that the forbidden army outside the city of Jiankang Mansion is actually only five or six thousand, and most of them are new soldiers, if Li Xinchen takes two thousand veterans who have been tempered by the fire of war to Jiankang Mansion, I am afraid it will be really difficult to live in peace.
didn't seem to realize this, Li Xinchen looked at Xu Shanxin with a sincere face: "Xu Jun drink water slowly, it's not good to choke." β
And Gu Yewang's shoulders twitched slightly, obviously trying to hold back the laughter. Li Xinchen's expression at this time can really be said to be "harmless to humans and animals".
Coughing lightly twice, Xu Shanxin exhaled: "It's rude." β
