Fang Zheng sat in the carriage, still thinking about the question of ducks and mandarin ducks, he and Yan Ran argued for a long time about this issue, but they couldn't get the result, both of them had their own opinions, and then Fang Zheng had no choice but to use the XX dragon claw hand of his life, one move to defeat the enemy, Yan Ran had to admit shyly that she did draw two ducks.

Now Fang Zheng is planning to go to the Mansion of Wei Chengde, the secretary of the Ministry of War, only two days before the Turkic envoy enters Beijing, Young Master Fang has a heavy responsibility, and he really doesn't have time to talk to Yan Ran, so he said goodbye to Yan Ran apologetically Then, Fang Zheng got into the carriage.

It was none other than Feng Qiudao who drove the car. This guy seems to have a great interest in the profession of coachman, and often drives Fang Zheng's coachman away, and whips him himself, which makes Fang Zheng very embarrassed, and he wants to ask him several times if the dignified general of the Longwu Army is not short of money and wants to find a part-time job.

The carriage ran slowly and steadily along the bluestone-paved street. Feng Qiudao, who was sitting on the carriage to catch the car, did not say a word, and from time to time whipped the horse whip in the air loudly, the movements were skillful and beautiful, Fang Zheng looked at him in the carriage and sighed in his heart.

I really don't understand how the emperor could send him to be the deputy envoy for negotiations, this guy doesn't look like a piece of negotiation material except for fighting and killing. Young master, what if I was talking to the Turks and he suddenly pulled out a knife from the side and scared people? Wouldn't that cut off my financial route, young master?

"Brother Fang, the emperor has instructed Feng to fully cooperate with you in negotiating with the Turks, is there anything Feng needs to do?" Feng Qiu didn't reply to the knife.

"For the first few days, nothing happened, just to protect this group of customers...... Ahem, messenger, you're a guest from afar, no matter how big the hatred with us is, you have to let the family go back to the grassland. Fang Zheng decided that it was better to take precautions.

Feng Qiudao nodded vigorously: "This Feng naturally knows that I will send more sergeants to protect their safety day and night." ”

"As for how we should cooperate during the negotiation, we will discuss it with Master Wei later."

"Brother Fang, it's all up to you this time, Feng is a rough man who doesn't know how to speak, I will do whatever you say you want me to do."

Fang Zheng snickered in his heart, you are a rough person, young master, I am also a rough person, but you have a rough personality, and I am rough in other places......

The carriage walked for more than half an hour, but it hadn't even arrived at Wei Chengde's house. Fang Zheng impatiently lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that the carriage was about to drive out of the city, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

“…… Hey? Lord Wei lives in the suburbs? I didn't expect Lord Wei to be so high-spirited and willing to be poor. Fang Zheng was in awe of Wei Chengde. This old man was dressed in tatters, but he lived an upright life, and he should really propose that the imperial court set him up as a model worker and a model of honesty and honesty. Let those corrupt officials see how shameless it is to accept bribes and suck the blood of the people. - Of course, Young Master Fang is not shameless, he belongs to the nest officials who attempted to accept bribes.

Feng Qiudao nodded deeply when he heard this, then stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage alone, lifted the curtain, and then looked at Fang Zheng expressionlessly.

Fang Zheng poked his head out of the car: "This is here?" "Outside the car is the deserted suburbs in the north of the city, a green and verdant forest, not to mention the house, not even a single tile is seen.

Feng Qiudao shook his head: "No, there is something I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Don't you know where Lord Wei's family lives?"

Fang Zheng's eyes widened: "How do I know?" ”

Feng Qiudao spread his hands: "That's it." - I don't know. ”

Fang Zheng's eyes almost didn't protrude when he heard this: "You don't know what you are doing driving the carriage to this wilderness?" ”

Feng Qiudao said coolly: "I thought you knew, I have been waiting for you to call to stop." ”

“…………”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Fang Zheng sat in the carriage back to the city and sighed, what is this call today? Traveling by car outdoors?

After going back to the city for a long time, I finally learned Wei Chengde's residence from a passerby. Fang Zheng and Feng Qiudao came to the door of Wei Chengde's house with eyebrows.

The old servant who answered the door, dressed like a flower child, but with a polite demeanor, like a modest and elegant gentleman who had been educated for many years, straightened his waist and led the two all the way to the front hall, and after serving tea, he bowed and retreated.

Wei Chengde's home is very shabby, with two courtyards, dilapidated houses, rammed walls with earthen tiles, and an old locust tree planted in the middle of the courtyard, the whole house looks like a scene from a ghost movie in a movie.

Before Wei Chengde came, Fang Zheng tugged at Feng Qiudao's sleeve and whispered: "Hey, Brother Feng, has this Lord Wei's family just suffered a disaster, or has it been robbed by robbers?" ”

Feng Qiudao said with a straight face: "Brother Fang, Lord Wei is known for his honesty in the court, he never accepts bribes, and he only lives a hard life by relying on the meager money of the court, which is known to many ministers in the court. Even the emperor knew the name of Lord Wei, and he wanted to give a gold reward several times, but Lord Wei insisted on resigning. ”

Fang Zheng listened to it one by one, this old man can't have masochism, right? It's a good life, but you have to live a poor life, what kind of psychology is this? Is it necessary to suffer like this for the sake of an honest reputation?

After thinking about it, Wei Chengde walked out of the back hall with a smile in his patched regular clothes, and arched his hand: "Involving Lord Fang and General Feng to visit the cold house, the old man really doesn't dare to be it." ”

Fang Zheng and Feng Qiudao arched their hands and said in unison: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Fang Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, others said that his home was a humble house, but this old man said that the cold house was simply telling the truth.

The three of them sat down separately, and Wei Chengde stroked his beard and said slowly: "The old man and the two nouveau riche of the court were ordered by the emperor to participate in the negotiations of the Turks. The old man would like to hear Lord Fang's high opinion, and General Feng and I will do our best to help. ”

Fang Zheng tried his best to pretend to be solemn, learned from Wei Chengde to put up an official stand, slowly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, as soon as the tea was in his mouth, Fang Zheng's eyes burst out. - Damn! Is that old servant playing tricks on Young Master Ben? This is tea, it is clearly swill.

"Why is Lord Fang's face so weird?" Master Wei asked curiously.

Trying to swallow the tea in his mouth, Fang Zheng smiled at Old Man Wei with an ugly face: "The taste of tea is very ...... Unique. ”

said Feng Qiudao, who was pouting on the side: "Hey, you taste it, it tastes really good." ”

Feng Qiudao glanced at Fang Zheng with a smile and said, "I'm not thirsty." ”

There were really few stupid people in ancient times.

Next, Fang Zheng carefully explained the three conditions proposed by the emperor to the two of them, and after thinking about it for a long time, they looked at each other, and finally nodded, indicating that they had understood.

Wei Chengde said: "The emperor's meaning is understood, but I don't know if Lord Fang has a specific charter for negotiations?" Let's talk about it. ”

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "What charter can I have?" Take one step at a time, in the final analysis, there are only eight words, 'coercion and temptation, both soft and hard', well, this is the charter, the eight-character policy, both concise and clear, how good. ”

Dude is so talented!

Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao were dumbfounded: "This ...... Is this a charter? ”

Fang Zheng scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's not a charter, it can only be said that this is a means, a means to achieve the end." ”

Wei Chengde pulled his beard and said in a trembling voice, "Can the old man listen to Lord Fang's plan...... Coercion and temptation, both soft and hard? ”

Old Man Wei's words finally scratched the itch of Young Master Fang.

Fang Zheng perked up, rubbed his hands and said loudly: "It's very simple, the Turks are here, let's put a few guillotines at the gate of the city, not too advanced, just the dog's head, and then the people of the whole city gathered at the gate of the city, gathered around the guillotines and stared at the Turkic cubs entering the city,—— the city head of the city had better be marked with a huge slogan, with two big words on it: 'Lose money!'" 'Let's not beat him, don't scold him, scare him to death!' During the negotiation, we ambushed five hundred sword and axe men outside the corridor, in case we couldn't talk, just listen to me smash the cup, five hundred sword and axe men rushed in at the same time, holding knives and axes and dancing hula, and lifting the grass skirt while dancing, showing them the inner beauty of our Hua Dynasty men, let's disgust them to death......"

Speaking of excitement, Fang Zheng couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and stood up, just as he was about to continue to be impassioned, but saw Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao staring at him stupidly, their eyes dull, as if they had been hit hard, and they looked like they had seen a ghost.

Fang Zheng touched his nose and smiled: "Hehe, actually I was joking with you just now, do you have a little sense of humor?" ”

Wei Chengde was so angry that he pulled off a strand of beard, and said with an ugly face: "Lord Fang...... No kidding, let's get down to business. ”

Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly and said: "It's not that I don't say it, the problem is that the negotiation can only rely on the spot, listen to the other party's views, analyze their conditions, and judge their intentions, which can not be prepared in advance." As for the preparations for receiving the Turkic envoys, this is not my job, and someone from the Ministry of Rites will naturally handle it. ”

Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao glanced at each other, although Young Master Fang was suspected of being passive and slacking off, he had to admit that what this lazy gentleman said was indeed reasonable. Negotiation is a matter that mainly depends on impromptu response, and it is useless to discuss it in advance.

Today is to discuss the matter of negotiation, but after a few words, the first meeting of the three of them ended in such a hurry, Wei Chengde looked very unwilling, he frowned deeply and said: "Lord Fang, let, we have to discuss something today, is it like you said, there is no preparation, just talk to the Turks like this?" This...... That's too sloppy, isn't it? ”

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Lord Wei, there are some things, the simpler the better, don't make it too complicated." For example, if you go to a kiln, what is it for? It's not to vent the fire on Sister Yao, since this is the purpose, it is necessary to say nonsense to Sister Yao and talk nonsense like you love me and I love you? If you just go up and pounce, you won't get ......?"

Wei Chengde frowned deeply and thought, "But you have to flirt with Sister Yao beforehand, right?" Otherwise, you will inevitably lose the fun......"

Fang Zheng and Feng Qiudao immediately stood in awe when they heard this: "Oh-it turns out that Lord Wei is the vanguard of the Fengliu Formation!" The real person does not show his face, and the lower officials are really admired! ”
