Zhang Whale looked at the disappointed nephew next to him: "You go out first, I have to have a good talk with this little rabbit cub." ”

Besides, when he heard this, he was anxious and wanted to put the scepter up.

"No, not like that. Let's talk about it for a while, don't worry, you kid, you can't take this scepter for the rest of your life. Zhang Whale was so frightened that he was afraid that he would put up the scepter and enlarge the words "Ru I am here" in front of his eyes.

"Then don't stare at me, I'm living one day at a time, and I don't know if I can go back alive." Besides, he sneered.

He is not afraid of Zhang Whale now, he has a scepter in his hand, and Shang Fang's sword, no one is bigger than him. He could have shouted in the courtyard: Lao Tzu, I am the biggest. Surely no one will come out to contradict him, no one will dare. Of course, he is not yet in the habit of being so high-profile.

"I said kid......"

"Call me Chincha-sama." Besides, he pouted arrogantly.

"You...... Are you serious? "Zhang Whale is on fire.

"Haha, just kidding. Boss, if you're serious, you'll lose. Besides, he laughed.

"You bastard, you don't play like this." Zhang Whale almost wanted to go crazy.

"That's it, isn't it that little rabbit cub who wants to marry a daughter-in-law, how much is it, I'll buy one for him, is 10,000 taels enough? I'll give it now. But don't think about it, Cher. "Besides, he said directly.

"Ten thousand taels? Are you willing to do it? Zhang Whale was curious.

He saw that he had such an attitude and knew that this person was going to come, and he was surprised that he would rather take out 10,000 taels than give away Xue'er, could it be that Xue'er's worth was higher than this?

"What's so reluctant about this, you know best about me, there is no other problem, that is, poor and generous, as long as I have it, my friends need to open their mouths, I don't agree. But Xue'er and Fei'er and Wan'er's two girls can't do it, in my eyes, they are people with independent personalities, not things, and they are not the kind of girls who can be bought and bought. I have promised them that their future will be up to them to choose. Besides, explained.

"What kind of are you, could it be that they are still Miss Qianjin?" Zhang Whale was confused by him.

"Indeed, they are the daughters of my family." Besides, he laughed.

Zhang Whale was deflated and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I know you may like these three little girls too much, and you are reluctant to give them away." I'll buy another one for my boy. As you literati say, a gentleman does not win the love of others. ”

Besides, my heart is relieved, I am really tired, and talking about human rights to people in the Ming Dynasty is like playing the piano to a cow, and no one can understand it.

It's not that there is no such thing as human rights in China, but in fact, China has legislated to protect human rights as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, and since the Qin and Han dynasties, and perhaps earlier, China has abolished slavery.

The servant system in the Qin and Han dynasties and later was very different from slavery, and servants, including maids, domestic children, etc., all had certain human rights and were protected by law, which was fundamentally different from slavery.

In the West, which is known for its civilization, slavery has existed for a long time, and although the black slavery system in the lighthouse country was abolished by Lincoln, black people are still untouchables, not normal legal people. In this regard, the West's discussion of human rights with China is really a thousand-character essay by Confucius.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was once a prime minister's wife who tortured a maid to death, and was broken into by Jing Zhaoyin and interrogated the prime minister's wife severely, which of course has the suspicion of personal vendetta in the communiqué, but this also shows that the Western Han Dynasty has attached great importance to the human rights of the slaves raised by wealthy families.

After Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty became emperor, he repeatedly issued edicts prohibiting the abuse of slaves, and those who violated it were treated as the law.

Of course, it is not that these slaves already have the human rights of free people, but it is an indisputable fact that the rights of this legal status are constantly expanding.

"Thank you boss for your kindness, I turned around and asked someone to send a silver ticket of 10,000 taels." Besides, he laughed.

"No, I still have this bit of silver, and I'll ask you for it if it's missing." Zhang Whale waved his hand in frustration.

Besides, a few days ago, he confiscated a sum of goods and promised to give his little nephew a gift for a meeting, which was already about 10,000 taels of silver, and he didn't want to ask for more. Frustrated, because things didn't work out.

In fact, if you receive more favors, you will also be in debt, who knows what problems this bastard will give herself in the future? Zhang Whale is already worried about wiping his buttocks.

But he knows that if he doesn't do anything when he is idle, he will be fatal.

Moreover, after going out, he did not go back to his own residence, but went to the residence of the official of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites sent two officials this time, but there was only one person in the residence, this person was less than forty years old, surnamed Huang Jintang, and another person named Ye Hongkai was not in the residence.

Huang Jintang was not surprised at all when he saw Lord Qincha coming, as if he had expected this visit for a long time, he ordered the servant to serve tea, and then sat down at the next place.

"Lord Huang, do you know my relationship with Lord Zhang?" Moreover, he took the lid of the porcelain cup and played with the tea leaves floating on the water.

"Of course I know, you turned out to be Lord Shangshu's staff, and you can be regarded as Lord Shangshu's protégé disciple." Huang Jintang said with a smile.

Moreover, although he had been a staff member in Zhang Juzheng's mansion for a period of time, he had little contact with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so he was not very familiar with these two officials.

But no matter whether they are familiar with each other or not, these two people are Zhang Juzheng's subordinates after all, and they should not go against him.

"Before leaving Beijing, I received the emperor's will and was also instructed by Lord Zhang, and the tone of the negotiations with the Tatars this time was set by Lord Zhang. So I don't understand, how could Master Zhang give you another instruction? "Besides, I just fiddled with the tea leaves, and I didn't want to drink it.

Huang Jintang said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, you also know that I have been instructed to do so, so there is no need to be embarrassed." If you have any questions, please send a letter to ask Lord Shangshu. ”

Besides, he nodded and said, "What Lord Huang said is extremely true, and he has already done this. But I still want to know the reason from Lord Huang first. Also, where is Lord Ye? ”

Huang Jintang smiled and told him that Ye Hongkai was invited to eat and drink by the Shanxi envoy, and the two of them were jinshi in the same year, because they were followed by the envoys, so they did not ask anyone to protect them.

"Besides, I don't know the reason for the instructions, so I can only explain them to you." Wong added.

"So, Lord Huang doesn't give any face at all?" Besides, he sneered.

Huang Jintang arched his hand and smiled bitterly: "Lord Qincha, this is not a matter of face, but it really can't be said." ”

Besides, he smiled: "Okay, I don't know if Lord Huang will herd sheep?" ”

"Herding sheep? What does Chincha-sama mean? Huang Jintang was stunned, thinking that he was joking.

"The story of Su Wu's shepherd, Lord Huang doesn't know, right?" Besides, he laughed.

"Yes, but ...... No, what do you mean? Huang Jintang suddenly came to his senses and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"What I mean is what the adults think, if we can't cooperate sincerely this time, in case the negotiation goes wrong, our best ending is to herd the sheep, but whether Lord Gao and Lord Zhang are willing to be the second Huo Guang, it is difficult to say whether they will redeem us?" Besides, he got up and was about to leave.

"How so? No, Lord Chincha, don't you go? Huang Jintang was in a hurry.

"Lord Huang, do you have anything else to say, anyway, I'll talk about it later, I'm going to be unlucky, everyone will come together. It's a big deal for me to accompany you adults to herd sheep, I'm still young, and there is hope for coming back. And he smiled cheerfully.

"No, Lord Chincha, please stay. Are you saying that this negotiation will be risky? ”

"Going deep into the tiger's den, can there be no risk at all? Lord Huang can't be so naïve, right? ”

"However, didn't the other party send that little prince as a hostage? With him, shouldn't there be a problem with our safety? ”

"Indeed, if the court can always hold that little prince in its hands, we may be fine, but ......" Besides, he stopped talking.

"But what? Can he still fly out of the palm of the court? Huang Jintang didn't believe it, and felt that he was scaring people.

"This thing does seem impossible, but Lord Huang knows something else, our Jinyi Guard rounded up a few important figures of the White Lotus Sect who infiltrated the capital in the capital, but a long time has passed, but we haven't even seen a figure of others." Besides.

"Well, I know that. Didn't you hear that the imperial court later canceled their arrest?"

"It's really canceled, and that's because it can't be caught at all. In the capital, Jin Yiwei, the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Capital, and the Shuntian Mansion worked together, and they couldn't catch a few important figures of the White Lotus Sect, and when the little prince entered the capital, the imperial court would definitely be able to control it? In case that little prince escapes, we will really become hostages. Once the little prince and those important figures of the White Lotus Sect return safely to the outside of the Saiwai, our life and death will only be a bargaining chip between the Tatars and the imperial court. At that time, it is difficult to say whether we will kill our heads, herd sheep or whether the court will spend a lot of money to redeem us. So I compromised, neither too pessimistic nor optimistic, the biggest possibility is to learn from Su Wu and honestly herd sheep for decades. ”

"This ......" Huang Jintang had some difficulty breathing, and he pondered for a while, it was indeed possible.

The Tatars are full of cunning, it is difficult to say that it is not for the sake of getting them hostages that they deliberately and generously sent important people like the little prince as hostages, and in the end, there was a big reversal, and they became hostages instead.

Jinyiwei, Jiumen Admiral Yamen, and Shuntianfu rounded up important figures of the White Lotus Sect to no avail, and the whole court knew about it, only because this was a multi-departmental cooperation, so no one wrote to scold Jinyiwei for being incompetent, of course, more because those powerful families were operating in the back.

"Lord Chincha, why do you want to do this errand if you know these dangers?" Huang Jintang asked with some confusion.

"Why am I? I asked Lord Zhang to resign many times, but Lord Zhang did not allow me to resign, let alone the emperor. Besides, he said angrily.

What he said was true, he was really too reluctant to be this ambassador, he couldn't push it off, the king's life was in his hands, and he knew that he had to go to the soup and fire, and if he refused, there would be no good end.
