The three of the Longqing Emperors and ministers in the main hall sighed, and the matter was decided, Hai Rui stayed in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is equivalent to taking a back seat, and there will be any twists and turns in the future, but it is just a form of walking, and there is no longer any practical significance.

Hai Rui's proposal to fully restore the Hongwu system, skin corrupt officials, and rectify the rule of officials with heavy punishments stabbed the hornet's nest and angered the entire civil official group.

"By the way, what are you two muttering outside, and what's wrong with that kid?" Emperor Longqing said suddenly.

The palm print eunuch smiled: "Long live Lord, this kid has given you a secret seal again, here." As he spoke, he handed over the sealed fold.

Emperor Longqing suddenly became angry: "Does this little bastard want to play tricks again and give me a problem?" Or do you want to quit? ”

"Long live the lord will know if you look at it, and the slave thinks it's not." Eunuch Bingbi smiled.

"It's better not, or I'll have to settle accounts with him." Emperor Longqing said.

In Emperor Longqing's heart, besides, he was not the right person to negotiate with the ambassador, and of course he was not the best candidate, except for a hat that was forcibly worn on his head as the commander of the Sanpin Jinyi Guard, there was no other suitability.

Young and knowledgeable, not with enough qualifications, no experience with Tatars, let alone a resume in diplomacy. Unfortunately, this was calculated by the national teacher, and insisted that this was the only candidate. When he was appointed and the sixth guard of Jinyi was formed, Emperor Longqing was very unhappy, if it weren't for the national teacher and the eight poles couldn't fight, he really had to suspect that there was something wrong with them.

Emperor Longqing believed the words of the national teacher and handed over the task of forming the sixth guard of Jinyi to him, and the ministers privately discussed that he was nepotism. There have long been rumors in the market, besides, it is the illegitimate son of the first emperor, Yunyun, for similar rumors Emperor Longqing has no words to defend himself, after all, he has done too unreasonable, and he promoted such a hairy boy for no reason.

But besides, he did a really good job, contrary to his expectations, although he was young and inexperienced, he was full of vigor and sharpness, and he changed the bad habits of officialdom and dullness, and his efficiency was even higher, so every time he applied for funding, he gritted his teeth and approved.

This time, he was also like a gambler betting on the bet, putting the bet on the moreover, but this time he really felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, this is not a good errand, not an auspicious one, but a lot of bad luck.

Because of this, he went to the national teacher to make a decision, I don't want to hang as if I recognized the two words, and the name that popped up was the same as that, Emperor Longqing was helpless and laughed after seeing the results, and even doubted whether the yarrow used for the fortune telling was planted by the Guo family, why was it so persistent. However, the national teacher is very responsible, after using yarrow to calculate, he used the Jingfang Najia method to calculate again, and finally used the Huozhulin algorithm of Liu Ji, the founding national teacher, to calculate once, and the result was the same.

This time, the national teacher was not counterattacked, and he was spared the pain of vomiting blood.

Emperor Longqing could only sigh and said: "Providence, this is Providence, there is no way." ”

The selection was thus decided.

After the candidate was decided, Gao Gong expressed his doubts very tactfully, and Zhang Juzheng also objected tactfully, neither the palm print eunuch nor the eunuch Bingbi dared to speak, as long as it was involved, there was no part for them to speak.

The outer court did not know that the candidate for the plenipotentiary negotiation ambassador had been decided, and the courtiers were fighting one by one, and there was even no shortage of senior officials at the level of squire to join the contention.

As for telling the bottom of the negotiation in advance, besides, there is no way to do it, since let the family be the plenipotentiary ambassador, you have to let the family know to what extent to talk about it, this bottom line is very simple, that is, to say no.

It's not easy to say no, because you have to be skillful, you have to say flowers, and you have to be professional and artistic in the field of negotiation. Where is this easy matter, even Emperor Longqing himself felt too embarrassed.

Emperor Longqing was thinking about these while unsealing it, and when he finished reading the secret fold, he almost jumped up.

"This, this, what does this little bastard want to do? Bringing troops to business? What the hell is in his head? ”

"What, to take the troops to the merchants?" The palm print eunuch didn't understand.

"Look at it, this talented man is whimsical again, he thinks that the outside of the Saiwai is Jiangnan." Emperor Longqing angrily threw the fold to the eunuch with the palm print.

The palm print eunuch and the Bingbi eunuch saw it, and they were also ridiculous, which is too troublesome.

"Is this a resignation in disguise?" The palm print eunuch also groaned.

Eunuch Bingbi frowned, but said with a smile: "No, I think his method really has some taste." ”

"The taste? What a taste, this is not a banquet. Does it smell fragrant or smelly? "Emperor Longqing didn't have a good airway.

"Long live, besides, the people who led the troops to do business were actually asking the personnel of the Jinyi Guard to protect the caravan, not to protect the mission, let alone to show off their might." The eunuch Bingbi explained while carefully figuring out the meaning between the lines.

"Isn't that the same, will the king of Altan let our army drive to his territory? What is this not a provocation? ”

This negotiation is different from the previous foreign envoys to worship and pay tribute, after all, it is an enemy country, so after the exchange of envoys from both sides, they will be protected by the other party's army, which can also be said to be surveillance, and they will run all the way to the destination.

If it was an envoy of a vassal state, the imperial court only used the manpower of the prefectures and counties along the way to cooperate, and did not need to send troops. However, the vassal missions could not bring in troops, but only a small number of guards and servants.

The king of Altan would never allow the Ming Empire's troops to enter the Mongolian steppes in a grand manner, and likewise, the Ming Empire would not allow the Tatar cavalry to openly enter the land of the Central Plains. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to an open declaration of war, which would mean the start of war.

The main meaning of the country's demarcation of the border line is to inform the outside world that no armed forces are allowed to set foot on their own territory, otherwise it will be aggression, and this is the consensus of all countries.

However, the eunuch Bingbi read out the true meaning of the situation, and he explained: "Isn't the Tatar anxious to exchange markets, and now they will exchange markets with him, and they will be the fairest mutual markets, and even the customs duties will be saved, and even the freight will be saved, and this is to send the goods to their doorsteps to the mutual market, which the king of Alta does not seem to be able to find any fault, right?" ”

The eunuch of the palm print smiled: "Indeed, if you bring a large number of goods instead of 3,000 people, it will be too late for the king of Alta to welcome you." ”

"Three thousand people are bringing their own bodyguards, this time it is not a personal business, but the sixth guard of Jinyi is doing business with Tatars, and the bodyguards brought are also people from the sixth guard of Jinyi, strictly speaking, Jinyi Wei is not a formal army." The eunuch said.

"It's confusing the meaning, it's useless, and the king of Alta won't buy it." The palm print eunuch shook his head.

"Not necessarily, I can smell something, and besides, this little bastard does have a lot of ideas, and he probably will do it." Emperor Longqing came to his senses at this time, and secretly admired in his heart.

"Hooray, don't let this little bastard fool you do again." The palm print eunuch laughed and laughed.

Emperor Longqing not only spent a huge amount of silver on his body, but also had to wipe his buttocks, and he was not a master of dissipation, usually he didn't make trouble, but it was a big disaster, but the credit was not less, and it was worth the merits.

Eunuch Bingbi said with a smile: "Long live this time with a soft heart, let go of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who sneaked into the capital, we can be regarded as being a general of Zhao Quan's army, no matter how you think about it, I feel a little angry, I think that besides, this approach is to counter the king of I and Zhao Quan's army, see how they take over?" We've given up a step, and it's time for them. ”

"Right! This trick makes it good too! "Emperor Longqing took a picture of the imperial case.

The palm print eunuch also raised his head and thought about it: "Well, if you say that, there is indeed some truth. ”

Eunuch Bingbi sighed with emotion: "Besides, this kid is a great talent after all, his brain is smart, and he can come up with such a good idea." ”

"He's not a genius, he's a money fan, if you want to do business, it should be the imperial court to set up a caravan, and the money earned should go to the treasury, this kid has a sharp head and is the first to do business on his own." Emperor Longqing was also ridiculous.

"This is really different, if the imperial court sends officials and troops to form a caravan, I'm afraid the king of Alta will have to pick it. Besides, although he is selfish, he is indeed a trick. The palm print eunuch also understood at this time.

"In addition, the sixth guard does have various tasks outside the Cypriot Guard, and taking this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the customs, terrain and landforms outside the Cypriot Perimeter is indeed a rare and good opportunity, in contrast, it is a good way to make money by merchants." The eunuch said.

"I originally wanted to train a group of good players to sneak into the plug and cut off the heads of Zhao Quan and others, but it was too difficult, this is just an idle move."

Emperor Longqing thought for a while and said, "So you really approved his request?" ”

"Of course, it must be accurate, this is also a matter of fighting for face for Long Live, which makes King Tita and Zhao Quan uncomfortable." Eunuch Bingbi said a little excitedly.

"Also, if you really want to succeed, it can be regarded as a feat, since becoming an ancestor, the Ming soldiers have never been to the Tatar royal court, and this time let the Tatars see the prestige of our Han family." The palm print eunuch also fully agreed at this time.

"This little bastard won't fool around, negotiation is a major matter of state after all." Emperor Longqing was still a little worried.

"No, and sometimes it's young and vigorous, but in addition to occupying a street too much, other things are still justified, if ordinary people are so favored by the emperor, they will already be more happy, and any bad things that bully men and women to extort money are inevitable."

"Of course he doesn't have to extort money, one street is enough, that's a mountain of gold and silver, and there is always a profit of 100,000 taels of silver a year, right?" Emperor Longqing snorted coldly.

"It's not that much, fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, but with the medicine produced by his own family, he can have this amount." Palm print eunuch said.

"It's also a good thing to let him make more money, although he has given a lot of funds for the sixth guard of Jinyi, but he has never made a penny, and he has also posted more than 10,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a sensible child." The eunuch Bingbi said a few good words for the sake of the situation.
