30 The Southern Jin Dynasty misunderstood
Wei Wuji asked people to bring hot water and wash it with soap, and the stains on his hands quickly dissipated.
After washing, it is whiter than the original.
Chu Wushuang was very surprised, and quickly tried it too.
However, she did not touch the lard and dirt, and washed it like this.
After washing, the hands are as white as the belly of a fish.
"Wow..."
Chu Wushuang was shocked: "Donkey, you are so smart, how did you come up with this?" ”
"If you take the soap out and sell it, do you think it...... Can you make money? Wei Wuji asked with a smile.
"It's... Yes! Absolutely! ”
Chu Wushuang nodded again and again, and even said a little excitedly, "Even I want to use it when I see it, and others must be the same!" It's much better than soap. ”
"It's good to make money."
Wei Wuji smiled and dried his hands with a rag, "Lady, if you take these soaps to your father, you will say that it is my little care." ”
"Okay, hehe..."
Chu Wushuang took a bowl, filled it with soap, and sent it to the palace.
Emperor Chu was the emperor, and the decontaminated soap horn used was still rough after careful scrubbing.
And the soap that Wei Wuji asked Chu Wushuang to send was not only very smooth, but also very effective.
After Emperor Chu used it, he was overjoyed.
He could almost imagine that when the soap was sent to the market, it would be very popular.
When the time comes, you won't have to make a lot of money, and you won't have to worry about military spending anymore.
The newly formed 100,000 Northern Expeditionary Army also has the strength to provide for it for a long time.
In the future, he will be more sure of a war with Zhao State.
"Can the pony be there?"
Chu Sheng, the chief eunuch, came to the eldest princess's mansion.
Wei Wuji walked out of the living room, clapped his hands, looked at the people, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Steward, what kind of wind is blowing you, come in and sit." ”
"You can't sit down, the emperor has summoned you."
Chu Sheng pointed to the carriage outside and said with a smile: "The carriage and horses have been prepared, please invite the horses, please hurry up." ”
"What's the matter, so urgent?"
Wei Wuji simply changed into a simple set of clothes and went out of the house with Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng said: "The horse doesn't know yet, right? The crown prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty came and asked to see His Majesty. ”
"Right now, he's waiting at the inn."
"Your Majesty summoned you, there must be something important to discuss!"
"Let's get out of here, then." Wei Wuji got into the car.
He had probably guessed the intention of the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Think about the formation of 100,000 troops to conquer the north in the state of Chu, named the word 'expedition to the north', and the north of the state of Chu is the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Conquer the north and conquer the north, isn't it to fight the Southern Jin Dynasty?
The relationship between the State of Chu and the Southern Jin Dynasty has always been very good.
Although they did not have military or financial aid or contact, there was never a war.
Now the appearance of the Northern Expeditionary Army must have made the Southern Jin Kingdom feel uneasy, and sent people to understand the situation.
Arrived at the Imperial Study.
Emperor Chu opened his mouth and said: "Wuji, the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty must have come to conquer the Northern Army. How should I answer? ”
"If you say. . . It's just a bluff, but in fact, if you want to attack Zhao State, you can play the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty. ”
"But in this way, if the news leaks and lets Zhao Guo know, I'm afraid it will not be conducive to our attack on Zhao State?"
"If I directly say that it is to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty, wouldn't it offend the Southern Jin Dynasty?"
"You've always been resourceful, so give me ideas."
"This..."Wei Wuji was thinking about this question all the way.
Things do get a little tricky.
No matter how Emperor Chu answers, there will be advantages and disadvantages, and it will be difficult to choose.
Wei Wuji thought for a while, and then said, "Father, then you just didn't see the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty and said that you went out of the palace, okay?" ”
"Is that okay?"
Chu Guo shook his head: "No, it's also an attitude to not see." He will think that we formed the Northern Expeditionary Army to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty, which will offend the Southern Jin Dynasty and cause unnecessary trouble. ”
Wei Wuji said: "Erchen thinks that things are not so complicated. ”
"The strength of the Southern Jin Dynasty is not as good as ours now, even if they guessed that their father was going to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty, they didn't have the courage to oppose us."
Emperor Chu said: "Having said that, what if...... What about the Southern Jin Dynasty and other countries? ”
"Other? Who else? Northern Qi? ”
Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Father, the Northern Qi Dynasty has now formed an alliance with us, and Zhao Guogang has just experienced a great defeat, how dare he repeat the mistakes of the past?" ”
"Besides... If the Southern Jin Dynasty mistakenly thinks that we are going to march north, it is not a bad thing. ”
The more Emperor Chu listened, the more confused he became: "Isn't it a bad thing? Is it still a good thing? ”
Wei Wuji said with a smile: "Father should know that we formed the Northern Expeditionary Army, named after the word 'Northern Expedition', to let Zhao Guo relax his vigilance, neglect his precautions, and hit with one blow when the time comes." ”
"Now, the Southern Jin Dynasty mistakenly thinks that we are going to march north, and we must go around to win over allies, including Zhao and Beiqing."
"In this way, Zhao Guo thinks even more that we are going to deal with the Southern Jin Dynasty, not them."
"That's right..."Emperor Chu nodded.
There is some truth in what Wei Wuji said.
But he was still worried: "I'm afraid...... In order to protect himself, the Southern Jin Dynasty did something unexpected. ”
"In case of war, aren't we asking for trouble?"
Wei Wuji said: "Please rest assured. Leave this matter to Erchen, and Erchen will stabilize the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty, perhaps..."
Wei Wuji suddenly thought of a plan, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Maybe what?" Emperor Chu asked.
Wei Wuji said: "Erchen just thought of a good idea, which is to stabilize the Southern Jin Dynasty, and also to let them run around, win over allies, and build momentum for us. ”
"Oh? Wuji, let's talk about it..."Emperor Chu knew that Wei Wuji had a way.
Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him every time.
Wei Wuji said: "Erchen said... Father can't be blamed. ”
"Shall I blame you? Let's talk about it. ”
"Yes."
Wei Wuji said: "Erchen's method is... You Erchen talked to the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty in private, pretending to collude with the Southern Jin Dynasty and cooperate with them. They mistakenly think that they can resolve this crisis through their sons. ”
"However, the asking price of the sons is very high, which makes it difficult for the Southern Jin Dynasty to afford it, and the swaying, while the Southern Jin Dynasty is trying its best to win over the sons, it will also make every effort to win over the Zhao State and the Northern Qing Kingdom to increase the chances of victory."
"In this way, if we delay for a year, and wait until next autumn, we will be able to surprise if we suddenly send troops to Zhao State."
"What a good idea..."After hearing this, Emperor Chu pondered for a moment and couldn't help laughing, "Wuji, you have made great contributions again." I don't even know how to reward you. ”
"Father agreed?"
"Such a good idea, of course I have to agree."
Emperor Chu said: "From now on, all the negotiations with the Southern Jin Kingdom will be handled by you." ”
"I still decided not to see the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty."
"Otherwise, my attitude will hinder you."
"Father Xie trusts."
Wei Wuji felt that Emperor Chu's consideration was very thorough.
As the emperor of the Chu State, every word and deed represents the Chu State.
Even, every expression can decide a lot of things.
It will also make the Southern Jin Dynasty misunderstand.
Wei Wuji is different, although Wei Wuji is in charge of the military, he cannot represent the entire Chu State.
Whether to march north or not also depends on the meaning of Emperor Chu.
The negotiation with the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty can also be completely nonsense, anyway, it is not counted.
........
........
After leaving the palace, Wei Wuji did not return to the eldest princess's mansion and went directly to the post house.
Li Xian, the crown prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty, was still waiting there, restless.
"Brother Li, don't come unharmed."
Wei Wuji walked to the second floor of the inn and met with Li Xian.
"Brother Wei, I finally saw you, please take a seat."
In the state of Chu, he only knew Wei Wuji, and he also had a good relationship with Wei Wuji.
This mission to the State of Chu was precisely because of this relationship that he decided to come to the State of Chu.
