Chapter 336: Whose Secret Order
"Wait, wait, don't you mean that the court sent us to death, right?" Huang Jintang was frightened by the words, and he couldn't react in his head.
"Of course, the imperial court wouldn't do this on purpose, but the kind of possibility I said exists, right? What if the Tatars thought like that? Man is a sword. He sighed.
He doesn't know what the emperor and Gao Gong Zhang Ju think now, giving the prerequisites for negotiation, this negotiation is destined to end without a hitch, once that, if the imperial court can control the little prince and some Tatar nobles who entered the pass, it can also ensure the safety of their negotiators, but in case it gets out of control, it is almost impossible for them to escape from the prairie.
Such an outcome was undesirable to both the court and the Tatars, but in fact it was the most likely outcome.
Moreover, I have never dared to have any illusions, and now it is even more so, and we must prepare for the worst.
However, he didn't want to say anything about this prerequisite, even to Huang Jintang, and he didn't know how close this Lord Huang was to Zhang Juzheng.
The officials of a department often serve for a long time and will not be easily transferred to other ministries, but the officials of Shangshu Shilang are often transferred, today they are the Shangshu of the household department, and they may be transferred to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, so these officials will not be loyal to their superiors.
"Still."
Besides, he sighed, sat down again, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"But what? Lord Chincha, please advise. Huang Jintang bowed and said.
"I don't dare to give advice, what it means is that we people go deep into the tiger's den and Longtan, everything must be thought of in advance, and come up with countermeasures, in case something goes wrong, is Lord Huang willing to be slaughtered?"
"Of course you can't, but ......" Huang Jintang spread his hands helplessly.
What he thought to himself was that if he really got to that step in the field, it would be useless to think about anything, and these people were just meat on the Tatar cutting board at that time, and they could chop it as much as they wanted, and they had no ability to resist.
"If Lord Huang believes in my character, please cooperate with me sincerely, so that we still have a glimmer of hope, and we can come back alive even if there is a crisis. You are a subordinate of Master Zhang, so I told you this, and I would not tell him if it were someone else. "Besides, it's very arrogant.
"A glimmer of hope? What do you think? Huang Jintang's eyes lit up and asked.
"You don't have to worry about that, anyway, I have a way to get you back to Kannai safe and sound. Of course, if you don't want to work with me, you can do that. And shrugging, that means there's no need to say any more.
"My lord, you give me a word of truth, does the emperor have a secret decree for you, once there is an accident, he will leave us and flee alone?" Huang Jintang asked.
"Lord Huang, what do you mean by this, the emperor's will for me is written in the holy decree." Besides, he pretended to be surprised.
He was also shocked in his heart, the emperor really gave him three tips, and he didn't know what was inside.
Huang Jintang looked at him for a while, sighed a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Qincha, I told you this, but I must not let others know. It's a big deal about your own head. ”
"What is so important?" And I was really surprised.
"Before leaving, I did receive an order, it was sealed, and there was only the seal of the cabinet on it, and the seal was also the cabinet's, and the messenger only told me one thing, that is, the sealed order could be opened before the negotiation, and the negotiations should be made according to the instructions from above. Before negotiating, no one must know about this matter, or even the existence of this secret order, otherwise it will be a great crime of treason. ”
"What? And such a thing? Was it Lord Gao's order or Lord Zhang's? Besides, he couldn't sit still, and stood up all at once.
"The lower officials don't know either, they only know that this secret order was issued by the cabinet."
"Who is the messenger?" Besides, he asked.
"I don't know the identity of the messenger, I haven't seen it before." Huang Jintang was sweating profusely, and when he said this, it was tantamount to putting his life in his hands.
He is gambling, gambling and being able to remember this affection, in case of an unexpected situation in the future, he can pull him and save him from the sea of suffering.
"So did Lord Ye also receive any instructions?" Besides, he asked.
"I don't know, no one dares to talk about this kind of thing, and we can't ask each other. But as far as I can tell, not just the two of us, but all of the people who came may have received the order to seal it. Huang Jintang smiled bitterly.
Besides, he sat down in a chair and couldn't speak for a long time. He had thought about countless possibilities before and after this negotiation, but he didn't expect such a thing.
Huang Jintang looked at him with a depressed face, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Qincha, think about it, you are lucky now, why do we people have to offend you?" No one wants to, but there is no way, this kind of thing can't be said, so I have to offend you. ”
"So you propose to preside over the terms of each negotiation separately, is that a clear directive?" And then he asked.
"Indeed, Lord Ye and I received instructions directly from Lord Shangshu." Huang Jintang nodded.
Besides, he was also confused, completely confused, he didn't know what Zhang Juzheng's instructions were to these two people, but Zhang Juzheng clearly explained it clearly in front of himself, the negotiation method and bottom line of each specific clause, and the tone of the negotiation were also told to him by Zhang Juzheng himself.
If others play any tricks with him, he can accept it, but Zhang Juzheng shouldn't.
"Lord Huang, don't tell anyone about today's incident, and you can't say the possibility I told you, you just have to know it in your heart." Besides, he stood up and said to Huang Jintang.
"Lord Qincha, don't worry, the lower officials know the severity." Wong Kam Tong said.
Besides, when I walked out, my mind was in chaos. At the moment, masters from all walks of life are all over Datong, trying to catch him and snatch the so-called treasure map, so this situation does not make him feel afraid, but now this incident has given him a blow to the head.
Able to control all the negotiators, give each person secret instructions respectively, and also carry the seal and seal of the cabinet, there are only two people who have the ability to do this kind of thing, one is the emperor, the other is Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng can not do it independently, he must be through the emperor or negotiate with Gao Gong to do it.
Whose will is this? What exactly do you want to do?
He returned to his lodgings in a daze, found a bottle of wine and took two sips to stimulate the numb cranial nerves.
"What's wrong? Got into trouble? Zhou Dingcheng walked in just in time to see that he was drinking wine bottles, which is a rare thing, and he must have encountered * annoyance.
"It's okay, it's just a bit of a headache for these messes." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
He didn't say anything about Huang Jintang receiving secret instructions, this kind of thing is top secret, even to Zhou Dingcheng.
"What's worse is that there are more than all the factions eyeliner outside the inn now, more than we saw outside the tavern that day. They're ready to stalk you. Zhou Dingcheng also grabbed a bottle of wine and drank it.
"Then let them keep an eye on it, it's not good to deal with them openly in the Guannei now, and when they get to the outside of the gate, if they still follow like flies, let Sun Hu lead all the people to be wiped out!" Besides, he said ruthlessly.
"It's not impossible to destroy them, but the casualties will be quite small, and some of them will not be committed. If it's just a few people, Senior Murong and Xiaojun and I can do it. I'm afraid that if they gather together, in that case, they really can't be moved. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"It's a pity that I couldn't bring artillery and guns this time, otherwise I could have made some profits on these people."
Moreover, this time I was afraid that the Tatars would oppose it, so those artillery and guns were not carried, and on the other hand, I was afraid that the artillery would be obtained by the Tatars and then imitated.
"That can only expel them, if they really don't want to leave, even the artillery is useless." Zhou Dingcheng sighed.
Moreover, he said: "Let the Tatars have a headache in this matter, at least they must ensure my safety until the negotiations...... Not right......"
He jumped up again: "No, this is a big conspiracy. ”
"Needless to say, of course it's a big conspiracy." Zhou Dingcheng looked at him in surprise and didn't understand what he meant.
"No, it's not what you think, it's not what we guessed before, think about it, does that rumor say that the treasure is outside the plug?" Besides, I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, rumor has it that you came out of the fortress to dig up this treasure." Zhou Dingcheng thought about those rumors.
"But you know what secret treasures are outside the plug, right?" Besides.
Zhou Dingcheng suddenly understood, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Of course, there is a treasure outside the Saiwai, and there is the largest treasure in the world, that is, the tombs of the great Khans of the Mongols.
From Genghis Khan, Ogedai to the Mongol kings after Kublai Khan, they were buried secretly after death, and after the burial, no graves were left, but they were flattened.
This is diametrically opposed to the Han emperors who were buried in the mausoleums after their deaths, but one thing is clear, that is, the tombs of the Han emperors were almost stolen, but the tombs of the Mongol Great Khan were buried deep in the ground, and none of them were found.
At that time, the Mongol Empire gathered more than half of the world's gold, silver and jewelry, and there were many rare treasures buried in the ground as burial goods with the Mongol kings.
It's just that until now, no one has managed to steal this wealth.
For no other reason, the burial sites of these tombs are so secret that no one even knows about the king's descendants.
It is said that before the burial of the Great Khan of Mongolia, the location of the mausoleum was selected in a secret location, and then soldiers and craftsmen were recruited to start building the mausoleum, and no one knew where the location was except the person concerned. After the mausoleum was completed, the deceased Great Khan would be buried in the mausoleum, and the soldiers guarding it would kill all the craftsmen and bury them. These soldiers will also be disposed of in other ways.
