At the same time, Ji Feng was frightened all night last night, and this morning the news flew like snowflakes, and he was stunned into a cold sweat:

"It's so lawless that even the princes and envoys don't let go, it's unreasonable!" Ji Feng was furious, and he actually "knew very well" in his heart that it must have been done by the patriots.

"Third uncle, last night the envoy Sun was ambushed and beaten, third uncle, your car was impartial and had an accident last night, this can't be a coincidence." Ji Kang guessed, and there was actually a look of affirmation on his face.

Li Yi frowned on the side and said:

"Anyway, it can't be my uncle's doing, isn't it shooting myself in the foot. In case there are three longs and two shorts, the blame of the Xianguo cannot be escaped. ”

"Well, Yi'er is right. Anyway, this carriage is also the signboard of Xianguo, and we are still counting on us to spend a lot of money to buy it, how can Bailiyan ruin his signature business. This patriotic country is really hateful, and it is so vicious. ”

"Third uncle, Wei Guo is just removing two wheels this time, and he has not added them with violence. He must want the third uncle to force him to tear up the deal with Xianguo, so that the situation can change. ”

"Yes, now Zhi, Jin, Xian, Changsun, Xu, Song and my Liang Kingdom have gained a lot, and Wei Guo only has less than 300,000 inches of gold and silver, and it is extremely unfavorable to leave enough to give up, Wei Guo must not be willing to lose, and it is extremely shameless to want to use this intimidation to make me submit."

"But today's son is still growing, the guards continue to entrench in the Lingling, and now they are only hurting people, if they kill people with knives in the next few months, and even merchants from all over the world gather here, if they kill people and set fires, the loss is not ordinarily large." Ji Kang is worried that if he continues to develop, defending the country is not just as simple as beating people, and he may not kill someone one day.

"Hmph, he dares." Ji Feng's face sank, twisted his slightly gray beard and thought for a moment and said: "From today onwards, the number of traveling guards will be doubled, and you must not go to a place where there is a lot of noise and noise if you have nothing to do, so as to prevent them from poisoning." ”

Ji Feng is not worried about what Wei Ren will do to him, last night's intimidation is already the biggest limit, and if Ji Feng takes it a step further, if Ji Feng countermeasures, Wei Guo may not be able to take it, but Ji Feng is worried that the situation will change because of this, so the duck in his hand will fly.

After the morning was dispersed, around six o'clock in the afternoon, Baili Yan Shanshan entered the palace. King Xian was angry that the beating had aroused the anger of his eldest grandson, and since it was a prelude, King Xian could not take the matter to the cabinet for discussion.

"Yongxing Hou, why did you hide this shameless act from the widow."

"King Qiyu, the minister is worried that once this matter is leaked, not only will it not achieve its goal, but it may also fall into passivity."

"Leak!" King Xian paused for a moment and frowned and was silent for a long time, thinking of the traitor that Bai Liyan said before, King Xian had a hidden understanding: "Then you say, why do you want to attack the envoy of the eldest grandson and attract his blackmail." ”

"Back to the king, the gold and silver obtained from this transaction are very small, and the eldest grandson has gained more than the Liang state, and it is a foregone conclusion that the defense will attack the eldest grandson. If the Wei State raises troops to attack the eldest grandson, the Jin State will inevitably send troops, but it will not work hard, and if the Jin State forces the king to send troops, the king will send troops or not. ”

"Naturally, the widow will not use the blood of the soldiers of the Xian country to buy the accounts of other countries, let alone the shameless eldest grandson. But if it is forced by the situation, it can only send troops, but at most it is just like the Jin Kingdom, pretending. ”

"Even so, my Xianguo still has to send troops, if it is also pretending, the eldest grandson country will definitely be defeated. If you really send troops to war, you will inevitably repeat the mistake of being betrayed. Therefore, the minister can only devise to make the situation develop in the direction of our country in the future, and not slide into an unfavorable situation. ”

"But what does it have to do with attacking the envoys of the eldest grandson."

"Of course, there is a great king, and the envoy of the eldest grandson must have recorded the beating last night on the head of the guards, but he used this as an excuse to risk provoking a war and blackmailed our country, which shows how greedy he is. The minister just took advantage of this to deteriorate the relations between the two countries in an all-round way, and when the country attacked the eldest grandson, our Xianguo could not send troops and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. ”

"In this way, won't the eldest grandson country still have to be defeated by the defense of the country."

"Yes, but our army can send troops to attack and defend them at a critical time, and defeat them in one fell swoop, so as to reap the maximum benefits. Therefore, in order to convince Wei Guo that our Xianguo will not send troops to the rescue, that is, the relationship with the eldest grandson must deteriorate in an all-round way. ”

"The widow kind of understood...... Aiqing planned to use the eldest grandson to drag the main force of the country, and then take advantage of its emptiness to strike a blow. ”

"Exactly, otherwise, even if my Xianguo does not send troops, the defense of the country will definitely not dare to let go of his hands and feet to attack the eldest grandson. Only if Wei Guo is fully convinced that our Xianguo will not send troops to help in the war, will he go north with all his might. ”

"Does the eldest grandson not know at all at this time that Wei Guo has given birth to his ambitions?"

Of course, the eldest grandson thought of it, but the queen of the Son of Heaven was a native of the eldest grandson country, and at the same time, the eldest grandson had an alliance with the Jin state, and when the black scarf was crusaded, the Jin country also reluctantly fulfilled the covenant, although it was discounted because of the Yongxing incident, but after all, the covenant was fulfilled.

And my Xianguo is the lower state of the Jin State, and there is Xihuan in charge, and we must not stay out of the matter, so as long as the Son of Heaven favors the eldest grandson, and at the same time there are Jin and Xian troops, the eldest grandson can fight. If all the conditions are not met, the eldest grandson will definitely be defeated.

But the eldest grandson will not think like this, the eldest grandson's current thinking is that Wei Guo may send troops to fight against him, but he has already earned a huge amount of benefits in his hands, even if Wei Guo sends troops, the eldest grandson's national strength may not be lost to Wei Guo, and at the same time, there is foreign aid, and Wei Guo will fight on multiple fronts is very disadvantageous, so the eldest grandson is now fearless. ”

"Then how is Aiqing going to deal with the eldest grandson's blackmail now?"

"The minister intends to refuse his blackmail in the name of the king, but to buy raw silk from the eldest grandson in the name of the minister."

Hearing the news, King Xian already understood his intentions:

"The widow understands, Yongxing Hou lured it with profit, so that it could not swallow it, so that it could not be countered."

"King Shengming, the face minister gave it, and it was his business if he didn't accept it, so he would no longer have the excuse to play on the topic. If he no longer knows what is good or bad, the lord of the eldest grandson will not risk war and confront our Xianguo, at most he will find some trouble in the North Sea, and then the new navy can be adjusted to show his strength in the North Sea to give color, shock his heart, and he will not dare to make another incident. ”

It's not stupid to come out to mix, Changsun Guo won't know that Wei Guo is eyeing him, but what Changsun Guo doesn't know is that the bidding is from the beginning, it is a bureau set up by Bailiyan, which is intended to push the evil wolf of Wei Guo and the sheep of Changsun to collide, so as to avoid the uneven distribution of interests and cause dissatisfaction among the princes, while diverting the focus of Wei Guo and gaining respite.

"Since Aiqing is so sure, this matter must be handled cleanly, the widow does not want another incident, which will make the widow ugly."

"The minister understands, and the minister retired first."

"Well, go ahead."

Bowing down, Bailiyan turned around and retreated. After he left, King Xian and Jiang Hao said:

"What's going on with the internal investigation?"

"There's no eyebrow yet, but there's one thing worth noting."

"What?" King Xian asked, and immediately cheered up.

"Since the leak, Yongxing Hou has now acted more and more secretively, and some things can no longer be heard."

"Hmm......" King Xian groaned, and slowly paced back and forth behind his negative hand: "Could the mistake be in the prince's mansion?" ”

"It is not ruled out that there is such a possibility, but the crown princess must always have interests to be gained, and judging from the recent signs, it seems that Her Royal Highness the crown princess did not get anything from Bo Yuanjun, otherwise it should not be so stable. However, I'm afraid it's not easy to say about Yin Yangjun Fang's uncle and his son, there are many people in his family, and it may not be possible to leak the news occasionally when he learns the news. ”

"The cabinet decision can reach Ji Feng's ears in half a day, and only Fang Bo can be so fast?" King Xian questioned.

"It's hard to say. The people in Fang Bo's Mansion are all mercenary, and it is difficult to say that they will not listen to the wind or rain, and leaked the news to Ji Feng. With Ji Feng's shrewdness, he can get a glimpse of the clues with just a little bit of information, so it is possible. ”

"In that case, immediately send more people to keep an eye on it."

"No!"

……

After Bailiyan left the palace, he immediately went to the Changsun Pavilion and saw Chai Xiang.

"Lord Chai, I'm better after using Benhou's medicine."

Chai Xiang did use the bottle of hemostatic powder, and the effect was indeed magical, and in less than a moment, the blood in his mouth stopped. But he didn't want to admit that Xianguo's medicine was good, so he said with a straight face:

"It's okay, Yongxing Hou is here to reply to the envoy?"

"Yes. Lord Chai's meaning has been conveyed to my king, but ......"

Bailiyan wanted to speak and stopped, and Chai Xiang immediately sank his face:

"But what!"

"My king deeply regrets what happened to Lord Chai, and gives him a piece of jade and a hundred pieces of gold to apologize."

After speaking, Bailiyan ordered Wei Qi and his entourage to bring gifts, jade and gold were packed in a wooden tray, covered with a piece of smoky purple silk cloth, Bailiyan smoked the silk cloth, revealing a small pile of golden gold bars, and a piece of white and flawless jade.

A hundred pieces of gold and a piece of jade at the moment can be compared to a piece of food with hundreds of acres of land, twenty years earlier, a hundred pieces of gold in Xianguo is still a huge amount of money, but for today's Xianguo, for the class of Bailiyan, it is nothing at all, just a fur. But for expatriate envoys like Chai Xiang, but hereditary nobles at the level of doctors and middle doctors, a hundred inches of silver may not be much, but a hundred pieces of gold is enough to be a feeless income.

I saw that Chai Xiang's eyes were full of light, and the color of greed jumped on his face:

"Huh...... Such a generous gift, how dare the envoy be. ”

"Lord Chai is in trouble, because my Xianguo is not careful, and I hope that Lord Chai will focus on the overall situation and national affairs in the diplomatic relations between the two countries for many years."

"Okay, this gift will be accepted for the time being, but my king is there, how is King Xian going to explain."

After Chai Xiang finished asking for finances, his tone loosened a little, and Bai Liyan continued while the iron was hot:

"My king thinks that this matter is not my Xianguo's doing, but a villain's work to stir up relations between the two countries, so my king should not take this responsibility, and I also ask Lord Chai to learn about it."

When Chai Xiang learned that King Xian had such an attitude, his face sank slightly:

"The beating of this envoy is a matter of my king's face, and the king of Xian must show something to my king before this matter can be settled. Yongxinghou wouldn't think that just a piece of beautiful jade, a hundred inches of gold can be perfunctory. ”

"Having said that, my king's heart is firm, and this marquis cannot shake my king's heart. Therefore, thinking of the benefits of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Benhou can only shoulder this responsibility by himself. ”

"Oh... How can Yongxing Hou shoulder this responsibility with the strength of one person? ”

"I think that if this marquis is grandiose and calms the people, not only will my king be dissatisfied, but it will also hurt the face of our country. Therefore, Ben Hou plans to buy raw silk from your country in the name of a department store, and I don't know what Lord Chai wants. ”
