After listening to the sincere confessions of Gandhi and Xia Wen, the king suddenly became a little angry. So he said, "What? So both of you are spies? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to deceive the widow? ”

Gandhi and Xia Wen quickly stood up, bowed together, and Gandhi said: "Your Majesty the King, don't be angry, the two of us have deceived His Majesty, but we are only deceiving our identity, as for the Tatar people asking for a thousand taels of silver, we each have five hundred taels." It's a pity that Brother Xia's silver was looted by the Tatars, and my silver was used to buy officials. ”

"What? Buying an official? In our Kunguo? The king's eyes widened in surprise, and at the same time his anger seemed to grow even greater.

Gandhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I was bought as an official in our Great Black Bird Country. ”

"Do you still buy officials in the Great Black Bird Country?" The king asked.

Gan nodded, sighed and said, "This is no way." The treasury of the imperial court was completely looted by the Tatars, but the imperial court still has to operate, isn't it? If you want to operate, you need silver, what else can you do but buy officials? ”

The king sighed when he heard this, and seemed to have some sympathy for such a thing. However, he still condemned this kind of behavior of buying and selling official positions. I only heard him say: "In order to save the emergency, it is excusable to do this." However, this kind of behavior is what the widow hates most in his life. But ah, after all, if someone comes to the widow to buy an official now, I'm afraid the widow won't be able to resist the temptation of the silver. Now the imperial court is really out of money, and even the ministers' money has stopped. ”

Gan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of practice is indeed despicable! ”

The king said, "Well, don't say anything. That is, you don't have any money now? ”

Gandhi said, "Don't tell your majesty that I still have a hundred taels here, but I have to go to other countries to operate." If all the ten western kingdoms agree to unite with the Hua Han Dynasty, then it will be just around the corner to get rid of the clutches of the Tatars. Therefore, the silver cannot be presented to His Majesty. But, Your Majesty, since we have any hope of escaping from the clutches of the Tatars, will we be worried about the lack of silver in the future? ”

The king listened to Gandhi's words, nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense not to say it. However, you are the only one who travels to the other eight countries, which is very time-consuming. So I will send men to do their separate actions from you. ”

Gandhi said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the people you have sent will not do a good job, and if the Tatars know about it, then we will be destroyed." ”

The king nodded and said, "The widow knows what you are worried about, but don't worry, the people I sent will only go to the countries that are friendly with my Kunguo, and the widow thinks that they will definitely agree." ”

Gandhi thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved." However, there is also a spy from the Huahan Dynasty in the northern Ganzi Kingdom, but I don't know how his affairs are doing. ”

The king said, "Then you should go to the country of Ganzi first!" ”

Gandhi locals said, "Well, that's what I thought, too. ”

The king nodded and said, "Then without further ado, the widow doesn't want to be a vassal state of the Great Yang Dynasty for a day." ”

Gandhi said: "Let Brother Xia stay first, and when the time comes, I will personally return to the Han Dynasty to explain the situation, and let them help us rebel against the Tatars." ”

"Okay, just do as you say!" The king said.

At this time, Xia Wen said: "Your Majesty, I still have two pieces of silver in my hand, so I will give them to His Majesty the King first!" ”

The king said, "Forget it, this little money is a drop in the bucket, so let it be covered, and when the Tatars are driven out by us, life will be better." ”

Xia Wen nodded and stopped talking.

Then the king said, "Gandhi, Charvin, if you two don't think that the widow's food is bad, eat in the palace!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shavin and Gandhi replied at the same time.

When it was time to eat, the king called four of his cronies, who could send envoys to the four kingdoms to lobby. The four of them ate with them, and went back to prepare.

At this time, the king said to Gandhi, "Gandhi, the widow sees that you are a brave and resourceful man, and he likes you very much, and I hope that you will come to the widow as a minister after you have driven out the Tatar slaves again!" ”

Gandhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has loved." I don't have any skills, I just like to do business, and doing business in the Huahan Dynasty is to make money. I still want to stay in the Huahan Dynasty. ”

"Oh, hehe, since that's the case, the widow is also reluctant, do people have their own ambitions. I only hope that you can complete this joint thing, then you will be the first hero of our ten kingdoms. The king said with a smile.

Gandhi smiled and did not speak.

The king continued, "Besides, rest assured, these four men sent by the widow will certainly live up to their mission." When you come back, you will come directly to the widow. ”

Gandhi said, "Okay. ”

Then the king smiled and said, "In this case, the widow will not keep you, so set out as soon as possible!" ”

Gan nodded and walked out of the palace with Xia Wen.

Xia Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Gandhi: "I'm a god, your trick scared me to death, and I felt like my head was going to move several times." ”

Gandhi smiled and said, "Brother Xia, you are doing very well. ”

Xia Wen smiled and said, "I did it all according to your deduction and the words you taught me." ”

Gandhi smiled again and said, "So we have succeeded!" ”

"Yes! It worked! It's unexpected! Xia Wen said with emotion.

Gandhi said, "All right, let's go back to the inn, get ready, I'm going to go at once." ”

"Good!" Xia Wen nodded and said.

The two returned to the inn, and Xia Wen asked, "Brother Gan, what else can I do here?" ”

Gandhi said, "Hold your ground for the time being, and wait until I come back." ”

"Okay. Then I wish Brother Gan success. Xia Wen nodded and said.

Gandhi put the burden on his back, patted Xia Wen on the shoulder, and went out quickly. Xia Wen sat down suddenly, feeling a little lost. However, he knew what he was capable of, and he could not do this kind of thing to unite and convince the kings of those countries, and he did not have the courage or wisdom to do so. Even this time I came back to China to find out the news, and I drove ducks to the shelves.

Xia Wen knew that he was two pounds, but Gandhi was extremely confident, and he felt that he would definitely be able to complete such a task.

However, there was a basis for his outburst of faith, which was the brutal oppression of the ten vassal states by the Tatars. He knows very well that where there is oppression, there is resistance, and no one is born willing to be a slave, willing to be oppressed and exploited by others. The return of the financial empire
