Chapter 53 Willing to Fight, Willing to Suffer
Chapter 53 Willing to be beaten and willing to suffer
Jue Chang'an smiled innocently, made a look of gratitude and said: "This time I sent troops to North Korea, and I was able to make these contributions to Jianzhou Sanwei, thanks to your support, Lord Shen. ”
Shen Chongming smiled, waved his hand and said: "Hey, Lord Jue Chang'an is too modest, this is your ability, this official doesn't dare to be greedy, hehe." ”
To be honest, he couldn't guess what Jue Chang'an came here for. It stands to reason that he wouldn't come to him to ask for a reward, so there must be something else. It's just that the relationship is not in place, and he doesn't want to say that he can't ask directly, so let him go.
"My lord, this time, Xiaguan and Lord Wang Gao are really grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren't for you, we Jurchens wouldn't know when we would be able to serve the imperial court, and we wouldn't dare to think of these rewards. So these days we've been thinking about how to repay you. But I Jianzhou Sanwei poor mountains and bad waters really don't have anything to take, this thought about it, Xiaguan and Lord Wang Gao thought of using the court's reward this time as a little heart to you. Jue Chang'an smiled a little reluctantly, this reward was about to be given out before it arrived, it was really a bit difficult to say.
But this is also something that can't be helped, the Jurchen people are living in a difficult situation and are only hungry, and they really can't come up with anything good to please Shen Chongming.
Jue Changan had this feeling of embarrassment, and Shen Chongming also felt novel. It is said that they have paid a bribe to themselves, but this is the first time I have heard of this verbal bribe!
"This ...... Hehe, Lord Jue Chang'an is polite. This official is just doing his duty, and he can't afford to be so grateful to you. Shen Chongming's eyes were a little fluttering, but he wanted to figure out what was sold in Juechang'an's gourd, and he wouldn't give him silver if he didn't have a reason.
Yes, he must have something to ask of himself! Shen Chongming thought so.
Looking at him like this, Juechang has no confidence in the end, could it be that Shen Chongming doesn't look down on the conditions he prescribed?
"Lord Shen, this is a little bit of my heart for Jianzhou Sanwei, you must laugh at it. If not, we will not be at peace. Jue Chang'an almost begged, as long as Shen Chongming accepted the money, he could be regarded as having a handle in his own hands. Moreover, with a short manpower, it will be much easier to ask him to stay in North Korea when the time comes.
Jue Chang'an insisted so much, Shen Chongming also saw some ways, and it was not easy to do this matter of asking for himself, should he be thinking of letting them go.
"Hehe, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, then the official is not welcome." Shen Chongming smiled, as if he had taken advantage of it. Flying windfalls, that is not to take for nothing, it is regarded as reducing their strength.
Seeing him like this, Jue Changan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he is the same as he expected, this guy is indeed a greedy man.
"In this way, the lower officials will be at ease." Jue Chang'an made a pun, and there was a faint hint of hope in his eyes, a good start, but the greatest guarantee of success.
"Lord Jue Chang'an, this official is also a righteous person, if there is anything you need help in the future, you can just ask." Shen Chongming patted his chest and said, with the face of a corrupt official.
Hearing these words, Jue Changan became more and more happy, and it seems that the matter of staying in North Korea has an eyebrow. "Thank you, my lord, I won't tell you that there is really something I want your help with here."
"Oh, let's hear it." Shen Chongming said impatiently. Good fellow, you're finally going to show your furry claws.
"Forgive your lordship for daring to ask what arrangements will be made for the imperial army after the peace talks between the Japanese and the Japanese are reached, whether it is necessary to station a number of soldiers and horses in Korea to prevent the Japanese from rebelling?" Jue Chang'an asked cautiously.
"This ......" Shen Chongming's heart turned sharply, what kind of thoughts did Jue Chang'an have when he fell to the ground, could it be that he was willing to stay in North Korea? Thinking of this, Shen Chongming was suddenly overjoyed, if it weren't for Jue Chang'an being in front of him, he would have jumped up excitedly.
Seeing him spitting and spitting, Jue Chang'an only thought that he really involved the secrets of the imperial court, and suddenly his heart was also happy, could it be that the sentence he mentioned was really the plan of the imperial court?
Excited, but in order not to arouse Shen Chongming's suspicion, Jue Changan coughed lightly and said: "It's the recklessness of the lower officials, please forgive me." ”
"Hehe, what is Lord Juechangan's words. To tell you the truth, this official has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, but the matter of stationing soldiers and horses involves a wide range of things, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while. Therefore, the official has reported this matter to the imperial court, and the holy decree will be decided. Although Shen Chongming had some confidence in his heart, he did not fully guess Jue Chang'an's thoughts, so he could only give an ambiguous answer, and he would be able to act at the opportunity in the future.
"Don't hide it from your lordship, the lower officials have some shallow opinions on this matter, but I don't know whether to say it or not." Jue Chang'an became more and more careful.
"Oh, what does Lord Juechang'an have to say, this official listens to it." Shen Chongming's eyes couldn't help but light up, it seemed that he didn't need to use his brain, this guy was already ready to tell his true intentions.
"Adult awards, it's just some superficial opinions, don't be surprised." Modestly, Jue Chang'an said: "Don't hide it from your lordship, in the opinion of the lower officials, this widow is cunning by nature, although he is afraid of the strength of the imperial army and is willing to sue for peace, but once the imperial army retreats, I am afraid that they will have another trouble." Therefore, just in case, the imperial court should have left a team of men as a precaution. ”
"Well, what Lord Juechangan said is very reasonable." Shen Chongming nodded again and again, and in his heart he had already concluded that the bait he had thrown earlier had worked. This Jue Chang'an really plans to stay in North Korea!
was secretly happy in his heart, but Shen Chongming would not show it easily, otherwise he would be noticed by Jue Chang'an, and the previous hard work would be in vain. "In this case, this official must urge the Holy Lord to leave a large army in Korea. Of course, this matter is also made clear to the emperor by the merit of your words, Lord Chang'an. ”
Hearing this, Juechang was full of disdain. There is a way that money can make ghosts push and grind, and when it comes to Shen Chongming, it has reached a new realm where money can make ghosts push ghosts. "Thank you for your support, but in the future, if you have orders, the lower officials will definitely die. It's just that I don't know if the adults intend to let that team stay? ”
"Hehe, there's no hurry, let's wait for the emperor's will to arrive before making a final conclusion." Shen Chongming said haha, don't let Jue Changan feel that this matter is easy, otherwise this guy will have to be careful.
Although Jue Changan was anxious, he didn't dare to show too eagerness, otherwise if Shen Chongming saw something, this matter would be considered a waste.
The peace talks are proceeding smoothly, and the return date of the army is already on the agenda. Just when Wang Gao and Jue Changan were anxiously waiting for the news, the will of the capital finally arrived.
"Alas, Lord Jue Chang'an, I will tell you bad news, the emperor actually disagrees with our proposal to keep troops and horses in Korea, and the credit for this is gone." Shen Chongming looked distressed, and Jue Chang'an looked at it with contempt.
But contempt is contempt, hearing the news, Jue Chang'an's heart is still cold, how can this be good?
"Dare to ask Lord Shen, why does the emperor not agree to this matter, this is for the imperial army, but it saves the pain of going back and forth." Jue Changan asked a little unwillingly.
Shen Chongming sighed again and again, "According to the news from the capital, the emperor originally approved of our suggestion. However, the king of Joseon did not agree, for fear that the imperial army would not leave and consume his money and food. ”
"That's right." Jue Chang'an was helpless for a while, this Joseon king was a conspicuous person, and he knew that leaving the imperial army to garrison was a big scourge. But when he does this, he really cuts off his own way of life, how can this be good.
After pondering for a long time, Jue Changan still decided to redeem it. It is said that this Shen Chongming has a very heavy weight in the emperor's mind, as long as he can be moved, then the opinions of the king of Joseon will not be counted. "My lord, having said that, if something really goes wrong, it will still be a trouble for the imperial court. We have to think carefully about this. ”
"Well, what you said is very reasonable, and this official thinks the same. It's a pity that the emperor listened to the opinion of the king of Joseon, and we have nothing to do. Shen Chongming wanted to laugh in his heart, but he made a helpless look on his face. Only by letting him get angry in a hurry will he jump into the big pit he left for him without hesitation!
"My lord, if we leave a group of people and horses and don't leave, presumably the king of Joseon will be helpless." Jue Chang'an tried to say.
"Well, you're right." Today's Shen Chongming suddenly became an echo worm, but he praised and justified everything in Jue Chang'an's mouth.
Fortunately, Jue Chang'an was anxious and didn't notice this. At this time, I was very happy to see that he agreed with his point of view, and there was still some hope for this.
"Lord Jue Chang'an, you tell me your thoughts in detail, and the official can think about it." Shen Chongming asked directly, but he wanted Jue Changan to voluntarily take the bait.
"My lord, the lower officials think that although the emperor ordered the withdrawal of troops, he did not say when all the troops would be evacuated. If we withdraw some of the parts and keep some of them, it is not a disobedience to the order, and the king of Joseon will not be able to say what is not coming. Jue Chang'an showed confidence on his face, but he was very weak in his heart, this excuse was very reluctant, but he was afraid that he would not be able to fool Shen Chongming.
Who knew that Shen Chongming had already made up his mind, and everything was according to him, until Jue Changan said his ultimate goal. "Yes, yes, yes, in this way, the king of Joseon can only be dumb and can't say that he has suffered from Coptis chinensis. However, the army has been fighting abroad for a long time, and the officers and soldiers in the army are homesick, but I am afraid that no one wants to stay here, how can this be good? ”
"My lord, it's hard to say this, but it's not difficult to say it's not difficult. I Jianzhou Sanwei was deeply favored by the imperial court, and the opportunity to think about allegiance could not be obtained. If the adults can trust us, the three guards of Jianzhou are willing to share the worries of the imperial court and stay in Korea to prevent the recurrence of trouble. "In a hurry, Jue Chang'an is not hiding, success or failure is here, and he can only gamble.
Shen Chongming smiled secretly in his heart, and finally said this. "Oh, it would be great if that was the case, but wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"
"My lord, for the imperial court, I will not hesitate to build the state three guards." Jue Chang'an stood up and assured, the ecstasy on his face could barely be concealed.
"In this case, let's discuss the specific matters another day, and we must not let the king of Korea take any words. Although the official is not afraid, he does not want to cause such trivial troubles. ”
After the matter came to an eyebrow, Jue Chang'an immediately went to report the good news to Wang Gao after leaving, and at the same time to discuss how to deal with Nalan Duoji, a guy who had forgotten his ancestors. This guy is born rebellious, if he doesn't clean him up, sooner or later he will be ruined!
