There is a charcoal fire burning in the wall.

Ma Yun and the three walked into the hall and handed the cloak to the maid who greeted them. Then, Feng Yansi smiled and let Ma Yun to the guest seat, and he sat in the main seat. Cha Wenhui, who was on the side, nodded at a maid at the door before slowly sitting down. The maid lifted the curtain and went out, and after a while, a few little maids came over with more than a dozen plates, and various dishes such as mountain tofu, roasted shrimp in sauce, steamed sea bass, braised chicken nuggets, etc., were brought one by one.

The girl of the snow cloud over there has already played dingdong, this melody is simple and elegant, the rhythm is smooth and stretching, making people feel like they are in the countryside under the warm sunshine, and the feeling of spring is everywhere. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Feng Yansi glanced at Ma Yun, who was feasting, and said with a smile: "Looking at the prince's expression, you are really happy?" ”

Le Bu Si Shu comes from the Three Kingdoms period: after the surrender of Liu Chan, the queen of Shu, Sima Zhao set up a banquet to entertain him, first with Wei music and dance in front, the Shu officials were sad, and the only queen was happy. Sima Zhao ordered the Shu people to pretend to be happy in the front, and all the Shu officials fell into tears, and the latter laughed freely. When the wine was half-drunk, Sima Zhao asked the queen: "Do you think about Shu?" The queen smiled: "It's fun here, don't think about it." ”

Under the leadership of Ma Xisheng and Ma Xifan, the state of Chu fell from one hole to another. But Nantang is fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, and he is not much better. Whether it is from the perspective of the situation or engaged in rational analysis, Ma Yun and Le Bu Shu have nothing to do with it at all. Not only is he not happy, but he can't eat or sleep, and he thinks about going home every day. But Feng Yansi actually said so, there must be something to follow.

Because of the presence of Liu Chan, an old-timer, Ma Yun didn't dare to pretend to be rude anymore, and replied with a smile: "It's fun here, don't think about it." He glanced at Xueyun, who was looking down and caressing the qin, and replied honestly: "Although it is fun here, it is not home after all." My father is here, so how can I not go back? ”

"Lord, with all due respect, the prince stays in Jinling, and he can be a free prince. Once you return to Changsha, it can be said that you are in the mouth of a sheep, not only will you not have today's freedom, but you will also be in a different place. Feng Yansi looked at Ma Yun with a sympathetic expression, as if he was looking at a dead man.

The sound of the piano is loud, outlining a natural pastoral scene, sometimes like going to the uninhabited valley, except for the sound of silk insects, a silence, sometimes as if entering the harvested farmland, the joy of harvest, through the sound of wind blowing rice, laughter, frog chirping, showing at a glance. In the refreshing sound of silk and bamboo, there was a discordant "pop" sound. The people around seemed to be stunned, and when they raised their eyes, they were today's distinguished guests, and the five princes of Da Chu were stunned, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground for some reason, making two crisp sounds.

Ma Yun's face tightened, and he hurriedly leaned over to pick up the chopsticks, and said with a sneer: "Miss Xueyun's piano skills are amazing, and she is stupid to listen to." ”

Is this explanation too far-fetched?

"Haha, in ancient times, Liu Xuande thundered and dropped chopsticks, and now there are five princes who listen to the piano and lose the chopsticks, which is really the same thing." Cha Wenhui laughed teasingly on the side.

Ma Yun's face was frightened and uneasy, as if his mind was being seen through, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Feng Yansi glared at the smiling Cha Wenhui, and continued in a gloomy tone: "Lord Wang, it's not alarmist, Ji Sun's worries are not in the moment, but within the Xiao Wall!" ”

Ma Yun seemed to have settled down from the panic, he stared at Feng Yansi with a sinking face, and said unhappily: "Lord Feng, do you intend to provoke my brotherhood?" Hehe, this divisive plan is too shallow. Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Lord Feng, Xiao Wang said goodbye. As he spoke, he stood up.

Feng Yansi looked at Ma Yun, who was pretending to be in a posture, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Lord Wang, why don't you listen to the next word, if it's not the truth, it's not too late to leave." ”

Ma Yun just owes his buttocks, sits back again, and says, "Please speak." ”

"Xia Guan heard that in March this year, when the prince was about to be appointed as the general of Tiance Mansion, he fell from his horse very strangely and almost died. Lord Wang, you are the party concerned, don't you think that this fall was too clever and fell too hard? ”

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, presumably Xiao Wang should have this catastrophe in his fate." Ma Yun said quietly.

"Hehe, later, the prince secretly sent an envoy to the Central Plains? I don't know if the prince has a safe journey? I remember that in April, the envoy of Wuchang Jiedu reported secretly, saying that during that time in Wuchang, there was a news that spread widely - there was a treasure in the Great Chu Mission! ”

"How can rumors be credulous." Ma Yun said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"There is one more thing that the prince may not know. Two months ago, your country's Lord Li Jie Li sent an envoy to Jinling. Based on the situation at that time: your country wants to go south to conquer the Han State, and our Tang Dynasty is to go east to crusade against the traitor Wang Yanzheng. As long as Li Jie releases the message of reconciliation between the two countries, our two countries will each take what they need, and there is no need to marry at all, and peace can be negotiated. But Li Jie proposed to get married. ”

"Isn't your country going to marry a princess?" Ma Yun said suspiciously. However, Feng Yansi's words corresponded to the news from the Jinling Tea Society at that time.

Feng Yansi snorted coldly and said, "Although Tang is strong and Chu is weak, but the envoy of your country proposes to make peace, how can my lord casually marry a daughter of a clan or a palace maid?" "The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu made peace, and most of the people who married were not real princesses, but maids in the palace, just like Wang Zhao. And the princess who married out in the Tang Dynasty seems to be either a real emperor or a daughter of the clan, like Princess Wencheng, who is the daughter of Tang Taizong, and Princess Jincheng is the daughter of the clan. This Li Jing also advertises that he is a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, does he really have this legacy?

Feng Yansi continued: "When we agreed on the family affairs, our lord attached great importance to it and sent Chen Jue, an important minister of the imperial court, to Changsha in person. Who knows that when you arrive in Changsha, you will understand. The king of Chu had no intention of marrying at all, but as soon as he came, Li Jie had already built up a momentum, as if my lord must negotiate peace with his relatives first; Second, the prince was framed in prison, but those traitors ran to the king of Chu and kept stirring up right and wrong, so that the king of Chu felt that the prince was unruly. In this situation, the king of Chu had no choice but to agree to the peace between the two countries, on the one hand, in order to crusade against the Han state, and on the other hand, it was also a warning to the prince. The king of Chu is a wise lord and a benevolent father, but it is difficult to say whether other people have family affection. When Lord Chen was in Changsha, Lord Li Gao and Li of your country visited many times and sent 10,000 taels of silver, and what he wanted was for my country to detain the prince in Jinling. ”

"What?" Ma Yun exclaimed, his eyes were slightly confused, and his face trembled slightly, it seemed that this news touched him greatly.

"Who is standing behind the two brothers Li Gao and Li Jie, I don't say, the prince also knows. They turned their hands into clouds and covered their hands for rain, for what, isn't it the throne in the Changsha Palace. Lord, your country has won a game, and it is already a dead game, a game that will not die. Lord, don't you understand? Feng Yansi leaned over and said in a low voice.

Ma Yun inadvertently took a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

In Feng Yansi's opinion, wiping it is clearly cold sweat, the house is warm like spring, but this person is drenched in cold sweat, these words should have worked.

Ma Yun's eyes looked at Cha Wenhui, who looked earnest, and Feng Yansi, who was drinking himself and looking relaxed, he seemed to be stunned for a long time, swallowed dryly, spitted at the mouth, got up, and asked Feng Yansi in a low voice: "Feng Xiang, is there a way to help me?" ”

Feng Yansi put down his wine glass, his silent face changed, and he said with a smile: "Originally, this is an internal matter of your country, and I Datang should not be involved." However, today's Chu and Tang marriages, my lord and the prince have the friendship of Weng and son-in-law. Whether it is from the perspective of family affairs, family affection, or from the perspective of national affairs and the overall situation, my lord and I Datang all hope that you will be able to go further. ”

Ma Yun's face was overjoyed, and he asked, "Really?" ”

"Seriously."

Ma Yun took a deep breath and sat back with some relief.

Feng Yansi, who was waiting for Ma Yun to ask "Ji will come out", looked at Ma Yun with a reassuring look in surprise, and scolded in his heart: This guy is really rough and cute, can I say, our Datang will always be on your side, do you really think you can sit back and relax?

Feng Yansi couldn't help but ask: "Looking at the prince's expression, it seems that he is confident." ”

Ma Yun looked at Feng Yansi in surprise and said, "Isn't your country going to send troops to help?" With the help of your country's army, Ma Guangliang can be captured. ”

Feng Yansi was stunned, his head was dripping with sweat, and he sneered: "Lord, you have more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and after a conquest, your two countries will inevitably be greatly injured, and the Central Plains will be cheapened in vain." So ......"

Ma Yun intercepted: "Feng Xiang misunderstood, as long as your country moves its forces and makes a feint, I will naturally have a way to transfer out most of the internal army, as soon as the internal army comes out, Changsha's defense is empty, and my Jingnan army will send troops from Yuezhou, and Changsha can go down with a drum." When the time comes, Xiao Wang is willing to want your country to pay tribute and repair it forever. ”

Feng Yansi thought about this idea repeatedly in his heart, if the internal army with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most loyal to the king of Chu was transferred, from Yuezhou to Changsha, it would be enough to march in a hurry for one day and one night, and the idea of this guy on the other side might really be realized. This guy isn't a straw bag, and he can still come up with such a solution. After the matter is completed, you will be called a minister and a tribute, and you will be repaired forever, you are a lack of heart and eyes, you are ambitious, you are the king of Chu, will you still be a minister? What we want is not for you to be the king of Chu, but for you and Ma Guangliang to fight completely and have infighting, so that we can deal with your Ma family like the king of Fujian.

Feng Yansi said with a sincere face: "If the prince is in need, it is completely okay for my country to send troops, but it is just ......"

"If your country sends troops to help me become the king of Chu, I am willing to cede Lianzhou to you."

Lianzhou? When we are stupid. Lianzhou is in Lingnan, there is Han in the south, Chu in the north, and there is only one narrow road leading to my Tang Dynasty, what is the use of that piece of land to help you withstand the attack of the Han State?

Feng Yansi's face was a little displeased, and he continued: "Lord Wang, please listen to me, my country is now conquering Fujian, and I am afraid that this battle will take a year or two, so we will not have enough troops to help you." But after the prince returned to the Chu State, the battle for the heir was already imminent, why didn't the prince think of another way? ”

Ma Yun twisted his buttocks, thought about it and seemed to be a little uneasy, and finally asked, "Will Ji An'an come out?" ”

Feng Yansi smiled slightly, his expression revealed infinite confidence, and after he drank a glass of wine, he said, "Our two families can sign a secret agreement." ”

Finally said that it was on time, Ma Yun said in his heart. Ma Yun and Zhao Pu had long guessed that Feng Yansi would not get any benefits from Li Jie, and they would definitely talk to them secretly, so they had already discussed it.

Feng Yansi is affectionate and reasonable, and wants to say that Ma Yun has been moved. But Ma Yun is a big acting performance, which makes Feng Yansi think that he has moved himself.

"However, this thing can only be done with the consent of my father. I'm afraid ......"

"The two of us." Feng Yansi pointed at Ma Yun and then at himself. His meaning is obvious, referring to the two families of Datang and Jingnan, not Datang and Chu.

Ma Yun looked suddenly enlightened.

Feng Yansi took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and said, "Lord Wang, please see, this is the twenty-one article proposed by my lord to help the prince win the heir." ”

Twenty-one? Ma Yun sneered in his heart, ***, do you really think that Yuan Shikai is always the traitor.

Ma Yun glanced at it, handed the paper back, and said nothing.

Feng Yansi waited for a long time, and asked unwillingly, "Lord Wang, what do you think?" ”

Ma Yun sneered: "Feng Xiang, your face is good, but what do you think Jingnan needs most now?" ”

"Of course it's a strong army. That's why we're going to sell you the ordnance. ”

Ordnance? Damn, you think you want to be like an arms dealer, just these cold weapons, you think we can't make them.

Ma Yun shook his head and said in a depressed spirit: "Although Xiao Wang was born in the military, he also knows that the rear is restless, and there will be no military achievements on the front line. To tell the truth, Feng Xiang has a saying that is very right, keeping the king of Nanping is much more beneficial than beating him. After defeating Jingzhou, Guizhou, and Xiazhou, Xiao Wang regretted it a lot. ”

Feng Yansi's eyes lit up and asked, "Nanping is tired, but the people should be able to survive." ”

"Hehe, if there is a few more snows this winter, then Jingnan may be able to survive next year safely."

Feng Yansi claimed to be a contemporary Zhuge , as soon as Ma Yun's words fell, he heard the meaning: Jingnan is a mess, the people lack food and clothing, if there is a few more snows this winter, more people will freeze to death, and when the spring of the next year begins, disaster relief, spring ploughing or something, maybe you can deal with the past. Otherwise, in winter, the people lack food and clothing, and they dare not rebel, and they can't rebel, but in the spring, the wild vegetables everywhere have food and drink, and if the spring ploughing or something is not arranged well, the people may immediately rebel.

Feng Yansi is reading people, starving to death of the people, he was a little speechless, he looked at Cha Wenhui. Cha Wenhui understood what he meant, but Cha Wenhui couldn't say it, you Feng Yansi is a reader, and so am I, although it is the people of Chu who starved to death, but after all, they are all one family. Let the people of Jingnan starve to death, there are many benefits for Li Tang, first, the people of Jingnan understand that this Ma Yun is no better than the king of Nanping, second, the people are dead, the people's hearts are lost, and Ma Yun's position is unstable, so he can only rely on our Datang, third, when we clean up Ma Yun in the future, we can give the people some benefits casually, and we can immediately stabilize the situation in Jingnan, fourth, ...... But no matter how many benefits there are, it will be in the future, and now, Ma Yun himself has put forward his request, and if he does not satisfy him, I am afraid it will be difficult to talk about this secret discussion.

Cha Wenhui officials worship the privy deputy envoy, the money and grain are not in his charge, and although Feng Yansi is a subordinate of the Zhongmen, Li Tang also has Shang Province, and the money and grain are not under Feng Yansi's control...... Suddenly, his heart jumped, could it be that Feng Yansi wanted to use military rations? Even if it is to use military rations, it has to be from Zhou Zong and them, and to transport grain to Jingnan, but from Wuchang, Wuchang Festival makes it difficult for Liu Renzhan to be fooled, in case they are discovered by Zhou Zong and Liu Renzhan, this matter ......

After thinking about it, Cha Wenhui listened to it with the moving sound of silk and bamboo.

Feng Yansi hesitated for a moment, one of the main reasons for his opposition to Chu-Tang trade was that Chu was a landlocked country, and Chu-Tang trade had greater interests for Chu, while Datang, like Wu Yue and Han, had developed shipping and huge sea trade, relatively speaking, it had nothing to do with whether Chu was open or not.

Cha Wenhui was timid and did not take responsibility, and Chen Jue, who was bold and confident, had already gone to crusade against Fujian. It seems that the road of military rations is out of order for the time being.

He looked at Ma Yun, who had an eager face, and said, "Lord Wang, since Jingnan is short of food, then the lower officials can play my lord and see if they can negotiate trade between the two countries." "Feng Yansi's brain is turning very fast, Li Tang's internal government is fierce, if Li Jing is played, it is not appropriate to send grain or borrow grain, since this is not as good as restricting trade, maybe you can also get some benefits from Changsha.

"Lord Wang, how about you look at other conditions?"

More than half of these 21 articles are military, and Li Tang has a lot of appetite. For example, Article 5 is to set up beacon towers along the river and along the border, and jointly arrange military garrisons to jointly resist the Central Plains. Isn't this a disguised attempt to find out the situation of Jingnan's army deployment? There is also this eighth article, the garrison of the army, should echo each other, refer to the people in the station, set the number of people stationed, this is not to find out the distribution of the people in the four states of Jingnan? Li Tang has more than 30 states, Jingnan is only four states, Li Tang has some people to investigate the situation in Jingnan, how can there be so many talents in Jingnan to go to Li Tang to do these things. Just like Chiang Kai-shek's "Sino-American Treaty of Commerce and Navigation", the treaty ostensibly enjoyed reciprocal rights between the two sides, but in fact, due to the underdevelopment of China's ocean transportation and backward production at that time, it was impossible to realize the rights stipulated in it on an equal footing with the United States.

Ma Yun looked at it, sighed, and said, "Lord Feng, your kindness, Xiao Wang understands it, but I forgive these conditions." Xiao Wang, I'm going back and waiting to die. ”

Ma Yun directly refused in one sentence. However, he was not in a hurry to leave this time. Feng Yansi understood what he meant: if the price is skyrocketing, he will naturally have to pay back the money. For the sake of political achievements and lofty ideals, Feng Yansi had to lower his stature again and carefully inquire about Ma Yun, those places are not satisfied, everyone is their own people to discuss.

Only then did Ma Yun say: "Thank you Tang Wang, thank you Feng Xiang, these things are really boring, let Zhao Pu come to talk to you tomorrow." Ma Yun was proud in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the Hong Kong films he had watched in the past: the black boss took a cigar in his mouth, leaned over and went to the chair: If you have a problem, talk to my lawyer-

Thank you for your comments. What I wrote earlier is that the emotional aspect is a little bloody, and from this chapter onwards, it will reduce the bloody scenes. Thank you all for your concern. I wrote about Jack Ma's forced mission, which may be a little harder. However, the things under Jinling are all foreshadowing for the future, but Zhu Yuan, Lin Renzhao or Fan Ruoshui, Miaoxuan Monk, Song Qiqiu's son, Feng Yansi, Chen Jue, they will all have wonderful performances in the future. Believe me, although this paragraph is chaotic, these people will push the plot next. Thank you again. The text of this paragraph is nearly 5,500 words, a total of nearly 5,700 words
