27 The Prince's False Accusation (1)
Wei Wuji sat down, then snorted, "What's so strange about this? Everything depends on strength. ”
"The strength is strong, Northern Qi will naturally surrender, no matter how many excessive conditions we propose, they will accept it."
"If the strength is weak, we will also pay a heavy price in the battle of Wancheng."
"Then it's not Northern Qi that compensates us, but we who compensate Northern Qi."
Wang Dafu thought about it for a while, and agreed with Wei Wuji's statement, "Categorically. ”
In troubled times, strength determines everything.
Including the outcome of the negotiations, it is also decided by the forces behind it.
At this time, Zhou Yuan was still worried.
After going back, he was thinking about how he should explain to Gao Yan.
Seeing this, Chu Ji, the crown prince of Chu State, smiled and said: "The Northern Qi Kingdom is really rich, eight million taels of silver and fifty thousand stone corn, you can also take it out, admire and admire..."
When he said this, his face was full of yin and yang.
Obviously, it seems to praise the wealth of Northern Qi, but there is actually a suspicion of provoking.
In fact, Chu Ji was very conflicted in her heart.
Just now, when Wei Wuji proposed to ask for eight million taels of silver, Chu Ji was very happy for a while, feeling that the envoys of the Northern Qi State would definitely not agree, and it was all Wei Wuji's fault that the envoys left in anger.
But he didn't expect that the envoys of Northern Qi would be so weak and really agreed.
"I..."
How could Zhou Yuan not hear the mockery in Chu Ji's words?
The anger on his face was even greater.
"Ahem."
Emperor Chu's face was ugly, and he said in a low voice: "The crown prince is talking nonsense, the exchange between the two countries, how can you speak?" Not coming back yet! ”
"The retainers obey."
Chu Ji also realized that he was a little out of shape and shouldn't have deliberately said those sarcastic words.
He returned to Emperor Chu and said no more.
But his gaze was looking at Wei Wuji from time to time.
This guy, how can I restrain him?
Could it be that I was the prince of Chu State and was bullied by him, so forget it?
Chu Ji kept thinking in her heart.
........
The meeting ended shortly after.
Emperor Chu left Wei Wuji behind.
"What's the matter with my father?"
"Ugh..."
Emperor Chu motioned for Wei Wuji to sit down, and then said, "In the past few days, our negotiations with Zhao and Beiqing have not been smooth. Zhao Guo wanted to redeem Sun Jin and Hu Wushuang. ”
"In terms of post-war compensation, it is also two percent lower than the price we expected."
"Today, you negotiated with Zhou Yuan, the envoy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and easily persuaded him to take out eight million taels of silver and fifty thousand stone corn..."
"I want to send you to Hukou Pass to negotiate with the envoys of Zhao and Beiqing, what do you think?"
"Huh?!" Wei Wuji's mouth opened wide.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Huang was slightly stunned, "You don't want to go?" ”
"This..."
Wei Wuji was speechless in his heart.
Are all the courtiers of the Chu State dead, and there is no one to negotiate?
He has to do everything, and he will not stop for a moment.
If I continue like this, I am afraid that I will be exhausted to death.
Wei Wuji really didn't want to go, so he arched his hand and said, "Father, didn't you say before that you were going to attack Zhao State?" Why not start preparing now? ”
"How to prepare?" Emperor Chu asked.
Wei Wuji said: "The State of Zhao and the Kingdom of Beiqing are in the same spirit, they think that with the strength of the two countries, even if they are defeated at the Hukou Pass, they will be stronger than the State of Chu. ”
"Therefore, it has been very strong on the issue of compensation."
"Even if my father sends me, it will be difficult to reverse."
"It's better to ...... They went along with their wishes, and they said they would pay as much as they wanted. ”
"In this way, not only can we paralyze them, but also make them feel that we are still jealous of the Zhaoqing Alliance. They also fail to take precautions. ”
"Let's step up our military training, and when the time is ripe, we will suddenly send troops to attack Zhao State, and it will definitely have miraculous results!"
"If we insist on increasing the compensation, or even use force to force it, it will inevitably make Zhao Guo and Beiqing Guo see our strength clearly, and they will take precautions, and when the big war starts, it will be difficult for us to succeed."
Wei Wuji said one thought in a row, that is, Taoguang Yanghui.
.......
Wei Wuji's words made Emperor Chu wake up like a dream.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly exclaimed: "If it weren't for Wuji's reminder, I almost missed a big thing." We don't want to pay for it. Let their guard down first, and then..."
"What my father said is very true."
Wei Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart, "Finally, I don't have to go to the Tiger Pass." ”
"How is the training of the Northern Army?" Emperor Chu asked.
"Please rest assured that the Northern Army is practicing every day, and there will be no slackness."
"It's just to train an army into an elite, but it can't be achieved overnight."
"Father needs to be patient!"
Emperor Chu nodded, agreeing with Wei Wuji's opinion: "Well, I will hand over the Northern Army to you, of course I can rest assured." ”
........
Returning from the palace, Wei Wuji ran into Li Bai, who looked anxious.
"Why are you flustered? What's wrong? Wei Wuji asked suspiciously.
Li Bai said: "Please go back to the house quickly, the eldest princess has something important to tell you." ”
"Let's go."
Wei Wuji had never seen Li Bai so flustered, so something must have happened in the house.
Return to the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Chu Wushuang greeted him and said anxiously: "Wuji, you have a big disaster." ”
"I'm in trouble?"
Wei Wuji laughed and said, "What kind of disaster can I have!" Lady, what happened, you tell me in detail. ”
Wei Wuji sat down.
Chu Wushuang said: "Didn't you ask me to go to the East Palace Prince's Mansion before?" I have just gone and found some letters in the side hall that are not in your favor, and a note. ”
"It's the prince who plays you."
"At that time, I wanted to destroy all those things, but when Sun Jin and Hu Wushuang arrived, I dragged it out and left."
"That's it?"
Wei Wuji shook his head and smiled disapprehantly, "I thought something big had happened. ”
"Isn't that a big deal?"
Chu Wushuang was speechless, "You should know that my father has always been suspicious, and even General Wang Dafu was imprisoned. If the crown prince really finds out evidence against you, even if it is false, it will affect you and your father. ”
"I'm not afraid of the shadow, let him frame him..."Wei Wuji didn't care.
"Lord, this kind of thing, you still have to beware!"
Li Bai, who was on the side, couldn't help but persuade, "You can't let the prince splash dirty water." ”
"Mr. Li Bai is right, we don't hurt people, but we can't be harmed by others. I don't think it's better to strike first... You go to your father now, secretly give the crown prince a needle, so that his father can be mentally prepared. After the crown prince came up with those evidences, his father would not believe it. Chu Wushuang said.
"Is this necessary?"
"Of course there is!" Chu Wushuang was very anxious, pulled Wei Wuji up and said, "You can go now." ”
"Lady, I think... No matter what the crown prince comes up with, his father won't believe it. ”
"Also, don't underestimate your father, he has been in the palace all his life, and he is very clear about these intrigues."
"Last time, Li Yan participated in Wang Dafu, when foreign enemies came, my father was not allowed to put Wang Dafu in prison, but my father knew very well that Wang Dafu was wronged."
Wei Wuji chuckled and said, "Even the old fox who said that hard work, and secretly framed him, failed to convince my father. And what about the prince? ”
"Don't forget, I'm a colt, not an ordinary general, and my father still trusts me very much."
"Donkey, you just listen to me, go to my father to ventilate first, so I can rest assured!"
Chu Wushuang didn't care about this, and pulled Wei Wuji and walked out.
Pulled Wei Wuji out the door.
Wei Wuji said helplessly: "Okay, I'll just go." ”
