Li Yan was stunned and looked at the graceful and luxurious princess, he had done enough homework in Fang Yuan's backyard before he came, and immediately guessed that this woman was Fang Yuan's main wife, Princess Kunxing, he hurriedly lowered his gaze, and saluted the princess respectfully and said, "Princess, the two countries intersect, how can they receive heavy gifts from other countries?" Also ask Governor Fang to take it back. ”

Princess Kunxing sat on the chair beside Fang Yuan, smiled at Li Yan and said, "Li Gongzi is afraid that there is a slight misunderstanding, this is not for Li Gongzi, it is for Mrs. Ling's Red Lady." I have long admired Mrs. Ling as a heroine among women, and she has been friends for a long time, so she gave a small gift to express her heart. ”

"This little wish, Li Gongzi has to turn it away? So be it! If Li Gongzi brings it back, Mrs. Ling will not accept it, and then send it back to me. ”

Li Yan was stunned there, he came as Li Zicheng's envoy to negotiate an alliance with Fang Yuan, not to raise the bar with Fang Yuan. The princess was gracious, but it was disrespectful, and the gift was given to his wife, if he insisted on refusing, it would be unkind, how could he continue to talk?

Li Yan took the brocade box respectfully, and looked at the contents of the brocade box, which was a crystal clear jade wrench finger, with four words engraved on it'Guanyin blessing'.

He couldn't see anything special about this jade wrench, and the words on it were also ordinary words of prayer. In his judgment, the gift was valuable, and it was not a basis for collaborating with the enemy, so he ordered the accompanying servants to accept it.

At this point, the negotiations between the two sides have come to an end. Li Zicheng proposed to ask Fang Yuan's sailor for support, and Fang Yuan also put forward the conditions for the war horse transaction, both sides showed their respective conditions, whether they could negotiate or not, Li Yan truthfully reported Li Zicheng, and then sent a messenger to reply.

Li Yan saluted Fang Yuan and the princess respectfully, and then retreated.

After Li Yan went, Fang Yuan stared straight at Li Yan's departing back, looked at the princess in amazement and asked, "Jiao'er, why did you suddenly come out to give Li Yan a gift?" ”

Princess Kunxing said with a smile, "The concubine wants to win over and recruit Li Yan, but Li Yan is soft and hard, so I thought of a trick for the concubine!" ”

Fang Yuan didn't go to reproach her for showing up, and hurriedly asked, "What trick?" That jade wrench? What is the origin of the jade wrench finger that Jiao'er gave to Mrs. Li Yan? ”

Princess Kunxing smiled and said, "The four words engraved on the jade wrench finger 'Guanyin blessing' really have a history. In fact, the Guanyin blessed by this Guanyin does not refer to the real Guanyin, guess who it refers to? ”

Fang Yuan closed his eyes slightly, constantly searching for those women who could be called Guanyin in his mind, and suddenly came to his senses, "That's right! Empress Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson of the virtuous queen, is called Guanyin, is this jade wrench? ”

Princess Kunxing pursed her lips and smiled, "The horse guessed it, this jade wrench is the treasure that Tang Taizong gave to the eldest grandson empress back then, and it has always been treasured in the palace." Originally, it was given to my mother by my father, and my mother gave it to me as a birthday gift. ”

She continued, "Song Xiance thought of a proverb for Li Zicheng, the eighteenth child is the main artifact. This eighteen-child is a Li character, which can refer to both Li Zicheng and Li Yan. In addition, Li Yan's wife, the Red Lady, carries the jade wrench of this eldest grandson queen at any time, does Li Yan regard himself as Tang Taizong? ”

"Let's first plant a seed of disagreement in Li Zicheng and Li Yan, and when the concubine needs to be hostile to Li Zicheng and turn his face, we can let people go to Li Zicheng's jurisdiction to hype up the origin of the jade wrench. This seed of disagreement will sprout, it will grow, and eventually destroy the trust between the two. ”

Fang Yuan nodded secretly when he heard this, Princess Kunxing's divisive plan made it simply untraceable and exquisite. In this way, Li Zicheng will never spare Li Yan, a talent like Li Yan, even if he can't be used by Fang Yuan, he can't be used by Li Zicheng.

These methods are indeed insidious, despicable, and subordinate, but fighting for the world is to do everything, and I can only hope that Li Yan and his wife will choose a good tree to live in as soon as possible!

Fang Yuan sighed and said, "The princess has made a great contribution this time, she is really my virtuous help!" ”

The princess whispered, "Where do I dare to ask for credit from the horse?" I just hope that the colt will not accuse me in my heart of being a woman and interfering in government. ”

The ancients may have had a strong rejection of women interfering in politics, but Fang Yuan was a traverser, and the rejection psychology was much lighter, so he couldn't help but smile and say, "If you say a few words, you are doing politics?" Although a woman cannot take over the military and political power, she can always speak! Even Gu Yanwu's prickly head I can tolerate him talking, let alone a prostitute? ”

The princess pursed her lips and smiled, and continued, "Zuo Nan is Zuo Liangyu's beloved daughter, she has been well-educated since she was a child, and her foundation is better than that of a little bug. Mama Liang trained for ten days, and she learned everything. It's just that Zuo Nan is crying and making trouble, he came to Jiangnan to enter the harem of the concubine, and he doesn't want to marry those martial artists, he wants to see the concubine. ”

Fang Yuan was also not interested in Zuo Nan, and said with a cold smile, "Jiao'er, she is going to be married to Gan Hui as his wife, I don't want to see her again and cause any rumors." You warned her for me that she must marry Gan Hui willingly and happily. I only gave her three days to consider, if she didn't want to be the wife of the chief soldier, or even the wife of the governor, then I would immediately send her back to Jiangxi and return it to Zuo Liangyu. ”

The princess answered softly, and asked Mama Liang to go down and threaten Zuo Nan according to Fang Yuan's instructions.

Mama Liang warned Fang Yuan of the three-day period, if she did not agree to marry Gan Hui, she would be sent back to Jiangxi immediately, and told Zuo Nan truthfully in 1510, and Zuo Nan also fell into hesitation.

Before Zuo Nan left, the tasks assigned to her by her father Zuo Liangyu and brother Zuo Mengeng were completely different.

Zuo Liangyu personally created this bandit legion, and he cherished the foundation of the Zuo family very much, and would never admit defeat easily. Sending Zuo Nan to Jiangnan was to temporarily stabilize Fang Yuan, and then the Left Army had enough time to contact Li Zicheng of the Imperial Court in Beijing and Huguang to jointly confront Fang Yuan and maintain the situation of the Left Army separating Jiangxi.

And Zuo Mengeng, as the second generation of officials, obviously does not have Zuo Liangyu's ambitions. In his opinion, Jiangxi is sandwiched between the two powerful warlords Fang Yuan and Li Zicheng, and there is almost no way out in the future. In addition, the reputation of the Left Army was ruined, and once it was defeated, whether it was the imperial court, Fang Yuan, or Li Zicheng, they would come to settle the accumulated crimes of the Left Army. Instead of confronting and bringing the Zuo family into a catastrophe, it is better to find a way back early.

The goal of Zuo Mengeng's surrender is nothing more than the imperial court, Fang Yuan and Li Zicheng.

Comparing these three parties, Li Zicheng was born in a rogue, had a grudge with the Left Army, and occupied Huguang, which was a poor and remote country, and it was difficult to protect himself, so he was not considered.

The northern court is too far away, and there is still Li Zicheng and Fang Yuan's forces in the middle, and it is better to use the northern court as cannon fodder in Jiangxi.

Zuo Menggeng's target of surrender was Fang Yuan, where the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and the money and grain were piled up. But surrender is by no means something that can be done by hanging a flag, after all, it is related to the rise and fall of the Zuo family, and it is necessary to negotiate conditions that are enough to satisfy Zuo Mengeng.

Zuo Mengeng and Fang Yuan have no friendship at all, and they don't even have a person who can speak in front of Fang Yuan, even if they surrender, they won't be able to get any conditions for good treatment, let alone a backer who can ensure the safety of the Zuo family. Therefore, the task given to Zuo Nan by Zuo Mengeng is a tool to open up the situation in Jiangnan, and she must try her best to please Fang Yuan, pave the way for future negotiations between the two sides, and also seek a stable backer for the Zuo family.

If Fang Yuan was sent back to Jiangxi like this, and her father and brother's tasks were not completed, how could her father and brother let her go?

Zuo Nan thought about it, Gan Hui broke the 100,000 army of the left army in Nanzhili, and he was one of the top generals in the Xuanjia Army, and his name was often on the lips of his father and brother, which made the left army frightened. If you want to talk about the future, Gan Hui's future must be promising, if Fang Yuan unifies the world, at least he can be the military and political governor of a certain province. Being able to marry such a person as the lady of the main room, in terms of the right to speak, is much better than being an unknown concubine in Fang Yuan's harem.

Zuo Nan repeatedly confirmed to Mama Liang that Gan Hui's wife had died in Fujian, and she was married to Gan Hui as his wife by Ming Media, so she obediently agreed.
