"Enough, enough, if the adults say enough, that's enough." This commander was taken aback, and he didn't regret it, why did he talk so much.

"I'm angry with those who are hiding in the shadows, not at you, sir." Besides, he immediately turned back to a smiley face.

"Brother, have you ever thought that someone would plot to kill you?" Liu Shouyou asked.

"This ...... It's too much to say. "Besides, after thinking about it, my head was big for a while.

It is said that the gun shoots the first bird, he is now the first bird in the capital, and anyone who is aiming at him can shoot with a basket. The White Lotus Sect really has no reason to harm him, most of the people who hate him are in the imperial court, he once forcibly occupied a street, and the people who hate him to the core are a bunch of powerful bureaucrats.

The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are all suspects, and they are mortal enemies with Jinyiwei, but it is estimated that they can't do it yet, after all, they have really broken through the bottom line, they want to rectify the situation and come secretly, and they want to make a fuss about the law, so they will not be so bold.

Liu Shouyou and the others obviously realized this and smiled bitterly. Besides, it has indeed been in the limelight for most of the past six months, and there are too many people who have offended, but on the other hand, he just can't offend people, and he will be hated by people if he is in a high position at a young age.

Men are jealous when they enter the court, whether they are ugly or handsome, and they are jealous when they enter the palace, this is human nature, and it was like this in the Qin and Han dynasties.

If the suspicion of the White Lotus Sect is removed, it is really not easy to find someone who has the ability to do this.

Thinking of this, Liu Shouyou's heart hung again, it couldn't be those powerful families, right? They may be able to do it. After thinking about it again, he finally escaped the catastrophe, why did he volunteer to deal with the powerful family again?

Since the emperor asked the White Lotus Sect to investigate, it is still in the direction of the White Lotus Sect to investigate, no, it has to be, in the end, it is estimated that this is a headless case, and it is impossible to solve it.

Besides, he didn't understand Liu Shouyou's thoughts, but he couldn't help it, if he always continued to investigate, he might be able to find out, but he didn't want to focus on investigating the case, after all, training was his main task, and now he had to secretly go out to the outside of the country, let alone think about it.

None of the remaining people are suitable for investigating this case, Zhou Dingcheng can only be responsible for the contact with the palace, Zhao Yang is okay to sit in the yamen, he has an aristocratic style, which is enough to deter one party, but it is not good to do practical affairs, and he will mess up one by one.

But besides, he was not disappointed, since the opponent threw such a big bait, he would definitely continue to shoot, and he would not give up halfway, he didn't have to follow the clues to track down, just wait and watch the opponent's moves, although he was a little passive, but he could only do so.

On the third day, Zhang Juzheng went to him again and handed him a list of precautions for this negotiation.

Besides, after reading it, he was also surprised, he didn't expect that the imperial court and the Tatar mutual market involved so much content, he originally thought that the mutual market was to open a market inside and outside the border pass, where the Central Plains merchants could sell all kinds of inland goods, and the merchants outside the Saiwai could also sell horses, cattle and sheep and grassland specialties there.

If so, the mutual market is nothing more than a super bazaar trade. Now it seems that I have thought too simply. The most critical thing in the mutual market is who will set the price, and the Ming court must control the pricing power in its own hands in order to grasp the initiative of the mutual market.

After reading it, he smiled bitterly in his heart, no wonder the mutual market negotiations are difficult, not only the problem of the White Lotus Sect, but also the price set by the imperial court is too high, the price of tea and silk is more than five times higher than that of the mainland, and the pricing of other products such as salt, porcelain, and clay products is also ridiculously high.

"Don't you think our conditions are a bit harsh? It is the same with them, the inferior horses are sold to us as good horses, and the price is ten times higher, and the same is true of animal skins, cattle and mutton, and all kinds of herbs, and when you see them, you will know the conditions they have proposed. In my estimation, the conditions on both sides should be similar to those of many years ago. Zhang Juzheng said.

"Since I am the ambassador of plenipotentiary negotiations, do I really have the right to sign an agreement?" Besides, he asked with a smile.

"Of course there is, they will also send ambassadors plenipotentiary, and it is not even ruled out that the king of Alta will talk to you personally, but the result is not to think too much, they will not agree on one issue, we will not make concessions, that is, Zhao Quan's head, as long as Zhao Quan's head can be placed on the negotiating table, everything is easy to discuss. Money can't be earned, and the court can make profits, but not things. Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed with a bright light.

"The man sent by the Tatar royal court, is that head worth as much as mine?" Besides, he asked.

Besides, I understand, Zhang Juzheng still bites the condition of "Zhao Quan's head", so there is really nothing to talk about. With this precondition, he only has the right to say no. Originally, he also thought that the emperor might give up his tough attitude towards the White Lotus Sect, and the negotiation conditions would be much more relaxed, but now it seems that this has not changed.

Although his mission was arranged by Zhang Juzheng, it must have been the emperor's will, and Zhang Juzheng did not dare to falsely pass on the holy decree.

It is also important whether the ambassador plenipotentiary sent by Tatar is an important figure. If there is a possibility that the Tatars will abandon their son, it is not surprising that the imperial court will throw him as an outcast in the steppe in order to protect its own interests.

"Afraid that your life will be lost? Don't worry, the characters sent by the other party are definitely weighty, if the king of Altan loses his trust and gives up, that tribe will have to rebel, and it will be difficult for the king of Alta to settle down. ”

"Then the emperor won't sacrifice me in order to have a rebellion within the Tatars, right?" Besides, there was really some trembling.

"Don't worry, nothing like this will happen, as long as I'm alive." Zhang Juzheng repeatedly assured.

Besides, it's not that he suffers from persecution phobia, but that he really feels that his progress is not a good thing, just like a piglet that is urged with feed, isn't it just for slaughter?

If you use stocks as an analogy, he is a junk stock maliciously hyped up by the bookmaker, from unknown to soaring directly, and it seems that there is no end, isn't the purpose to pit other stockholders' money? When the purpose of collecting money is achieved, his garbage stock will be furious, and he will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell at once, and he will never be reborn.

Can he compare with Zhang Juzheng's high arch? Definitely not. People have been with the emperor for more than ten years, and they have contributed greatly to the emperor's smooth ascension to the throne, and this kind of affection and friendship is incomparable to anyone. Now that he is a very human minister, it is logical to be in charge of the world, and no one is surprised, if it is not so, it will be strange.

What kind of friendship does he have with the emperor, he has never had any contact at all, the only time he has seen it is when he glanced at it from a distance at the enthronement ceremony, and he has never been summoned again, all of them are eunuchs who have passed on the word from it. Speaking of which, he is not as good as Liu Shouyou, and he can always see the emperor three or twice a month.

If the emperor adheres to the rule that two dragons don't see each other, he is not a dragon, not even a small worm, just an ant.

For his blessing in disguise and smooth sailing, he has enough psychological vigilance, and has been waiting for a fire, of course, the sooner the better, the smaller the better, but unfortunately he has done a lot of trouble, the emperor has spared it gently, and the most ruthless one is only to lock him up in Nanzhen Fusi for a few days of reflection, and then immediately reinstated, only to punish him for three months.

That is not a disaster, it can't break his cause and effect at all, which means that there are even greater disasters waiting for him.

When he watched "Dream of Red Mansions", he had a feeling that the prosperity of Jiafu in the early stage was as luxurious as cooking oil on fire, just to pave the way for the misery in the later stage, and in the end, the wind and clouds were scattered, and the white land was really clean.

He always felt that after he became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it was very similar to the scene of Jiafu cooking oil, and it might be even more noble and glorious than that, but he had always lived a low-key life and did not deliberately show off this kind of luxury.

"You have to talk to them first, if you can't come up, you will ask for Zhao Quan's head, then it will be too insincere, and then put forward this condition in the end, as a prerequisite for signing an agreement, not as a prerequisite for negotiation." Zhang Juzheng said again.

Let's talk about it first, and then say no, I don't plan to talk about it at all, isn't this a joke?

It doesn't matter if you play like this outside the border gates, there are more than 100,000 troops behind you as the backing, but if you play like this in the Tatar royal court, anything can happen.

"My lord, the court really doesn't take my head seriously." Besides, it's really a little empty-hearted.

"You can rest assured that at most, there will be no accidents. We are absolutely sure of that. Zhang Juzheng said reassuringly.

So far, besides, I know that it's useless to say anything, I'm a chess piece, what the court wants to do, I have to do it, I hope that King Alta is a person who understands, and he won't deliberately make it difficult for himself as a chess piece.

Next, Zhang Juzheng took out a list again, which was the agreement project proposed by Tatar during the previous negotiations with Tatar, and after reading it again, he also sighed, sure enough, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, they were all lions with big mouths. Moreover, because the number of tradable commodities in the Tatars is small, the mysteries are even more ruthless.

The price of horses and hides was easy to coordinate, but the most important thing was in the iron tools, and the Tatars demanded too many quantities, and the amount that the court promised to sell them was less than a fraction of what they requested.

Zhang Juzheng told him that in addition to the White Lotus Sect, which was an insurmountable negotiation condition, it was the iron project, and the imperial court had little room to make concessions on this point.

"Why are they so much worse in the iron sector than in the mainland? In the time of Genghis Khan, their iron manufacturing was much more advanced than that of the mainland, and they were the first to make the cannon. "Besides, I wondered.

Genghis Khan conquered all nations and created the largest empire in the history of mankind, which is unparalleled by later generations. The sun never sets on the empire is no match either.

At that time, the Mongols did not rely only on the invincible iron cavalry, but also on the mass manufacturing and application of iron artillery, Kublai Khan failed to attack Xiangyang City for decades, and finally used the return artillery to collapse the wall of Xiangyang City, and the defenders surrendered, Kublai Khan opened the door to conquer Jiangnan.
