Chapter 240: Sophistry

The crown prince Zhu Linyuan is only four years old, and his childish little face has a very serious expression, and he tries to walk as steadily as possible, looking like a little adult. Leaving his parents suddenly, he was obviously a little scared, his eyes were watery and shining, but the corners of his mouth were tense all the time, and he refused to cry. &1t;/p>

If it was a child from another family, Du Yinxi would definitely hold him in his arms and coax him like a kind old grandfather, but Zhu Linyuan is the future emperor, the current prince of the East Palace, and Du Yinxi should not be too profane as a courtier, so he can only silently watch the young Zhu Linyuan bear all this alone. &1t;/p>

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to trust my father so much, this is Tuogu!" Du Shiming is the eldest son of Du Yinxi, and he was very excited after learning Zhu Linyuan's identity, and even had some unrealistic thoughts. &1t;/p>

"Sending the prince here at this time is a hot potato." Du Zhengming is the nephew of Du Yinxi, and he is also the camp officer of the Junzi Battalion, far more shrewd and capable than Du Shiming, knowing that this is a thankless errand, once the news is leaked, Du Yinxi and the Junzi Camp will immediately fall into a whirlpool, and even be torn to pieces. &1t;/p>

"No matter how hot it is, you have to continue, Your Majesty has nothing to do, if there is really a mistake, although the world is big, there is no place for the prince, sending it to Nanjing may be the best result, and then we can unload this burden." Plugging Yinxi ordered the whole army to enter the highest level of alert, and all insiders are strictly forbidden to leak the news, otherwise they will be beheaded and will not be allowed to make any mistakes to ensure the safety of the prince. &1t;/p>

…… &1t;/p>

"The princes of the court want to talk to us? , who has the time to take care of them! Zhou Guodong shook the handwritten letter written by He Wuyu, and said to Tan Xiao with a smile: "When we were in Quanzhou, the princes of the imperial court had their nostrils facing the sky, and they refused to look at us when they came to the door, but now that they have been subdued, they have become reasonable, and they want to sit down and talk with us." &1t;/p>

"We still have to talk about it, let's just go over and see each other, it's not in line with the etiquette of the court." Tan Xiao pointed casually and said to Wang Fuzhi, who came to deliver the letter: "The time, it's set in a quarter of an hour, and the location is two hundred steps ahead." &1t;/p>

You've all led your army into the city, and you're talking bullshit about court etiquette! Wang Fuzhi scolded in his heart, turned around and looked into the distance, where Huo Ran is the largest crossroads in Daozhou City, thinking that people come and go very lively on weekdays, but at this time there is not a single pedestrian in sight, and the people in the city are afraid of fighting, so they are hiding at home and dare not go out. &1t;/p>

"Is it there?" Wang Fuzhi still didn't dare to be convinced, thinking that he had misunderstood: "How can you discuss state affairs on the street?" &1t;/p>

"The best on the street, breathable, bright, no one wants to make it bad!" Zhou Guodong had a dark face: "You can't call the shots, what are you still rubbing here?" Hurry back and report the news, remember, you only have a quarter of an hour, and you can't wait for it! ”&1t;/p>

These two guys are really hard to deal with! &1t;/p>

Before Wang Fuzhi came, he had done a full psychological construction, no matter what kind of humiliation he encountered, he had to endure the humiliation, and try his best to let Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong sit at the negotiating table, if the two of them refused to negotiate with the imperial court, they must know the reason, move with emotion, and put the righteousness of the monarch and the overall situation first&1t;/p>

By persuading them, if the two of them are annoyed and angry, they must not be humble or arrogant, honor and disgrace are not shocked, let the people of the world see the wind and bones of my Wang Chuanshan, even if the other party is afraid of death, they must face the butcher's knife with a smile, and they must not show the slightest fear and become the laughing stock of Shilin...... &1t;/p>

Unexpectedly, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong were very talkative, and directly agreed to negotiate, without embarrassing him at all, but this way of negotiating, I always felt that something was wrong! Between Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong's words and actions, they treated him, Wang Chuanshan, who enjoyed a great reputation in Shilin, as if he were nothing, but he was not good at doing it, and he didn't dare to do it. &1t;/p>

"Xiucai meets a soldier, and it is unreasonable." &1t;/p>

Wang Fuzhi is very sure that he is by no means cowardly and afraid, but he just doesn't want to make extraneous troubles and sabotage the negotiations, so let the two of them go arrogantly, and wait until Emperor Longwu revives the dynasty, sooner or later there will be a day when they regret it. &1t;/p>

He hurried back and reported to King Zhou, King Tang, He Wusu and others that he was fortunate not to be dishonored, and had persuaded Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong to negotiate with the court, but the two of them were unruly and rude to the court in their words, and they had to negotiate on the street...... &1t;/p>

King Zhou, King Tang and He Wufu and others were in front, a group of noble ministers followed, the lineup of the "envoy group" exceeded 50 people, plus 500 royal forest troops specially transferred, 300 martial arts, loyal and reliable dead soldiers, and nearly 1,000 people escorted the envoy group and followed Wang Fuzhi to the negotiation site. &1t;/p>

From a distance, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong were riding two horses, standing alone at the crossroads and waiting. &1t;/p>

"The King of Zhou is here, the King of Tang is here, the old man of the Imperial Court is here, the six departments and Jiuqing are here, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong are not off the horse to see him!" A head of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly, he was tall, dignified, and his voice was like a golden stone, sonorous and loud, everyone was in good spirits, and subconsciously raised their chests and raised their heads, and they must not fall into the prestige of the court in front of Chu Rei. &1t;/p>

"I've seen you." Tan Xiao hugged his fists with a big grin, and said with a smile: "Please forgive the last general with armor on his body, he can't get off the horse and salute, just say anything quickly, our brother is still in a hurry to meet the driver, and then come to visit you again." &1t;/p>

This guy is a two-skinned face, and it's hard to deal with! King Zhou and He Wuyu are old and sophisticated, and they have read countless people, knowing that they have encountered a strong opponent this time, and this negotiation may be more difficult than imagined, so the two of them looked at each other solemnly, and neither was in a hurry to speak. &1t;/p>

The other people of the "envoy group" were extremely angry, because King Zhou was old, He Wuqi had a leg disease, and neither of them could ride a horse, so the others did not ride a horse, most of them were on foot, and at this moment, one by one, they were leaning their necks, facing the condescending Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, and they were half a cut shorter in momentum, how could they negotiate? &1t;/p>

"Two generals, let's discuss state affairs here, it's not a system." Tang Wang Zhu Yulu is not good at words, but at this moment he can only catch the ducks on the shelves, but as soon as the words came out, he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the other party, so he first retracted: "Even if you really talk here, you should clean the streets, move a few tables, chairs and benches, sit down and talk slowly, ah, isn't it?" &1t;/p>

"Rice bucket king!" Meng Zheng made an evaluation in his heart. &1t;/p>

It was obviously discussed just now, after meeting with Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, he had to hold on to the negotiation method first, if the other party must negotiate on the street, the bottom line on the side of the "envoy group" is to move a few tables, chairs and benches, and everyone sit down and reason well, anyway, Emperor Longwu&1t;/p>

I just want to drag out the time, and this kind of minutiae can be slowly pulled off, but Zhu Yulu leaked the bottom with one mouth. &1t;/p>

"What qualifications do you people have to negotiate state affairs with us? Two princes, stand aside, I'm talking about their guys. ”&1t;/p>

Zhou Guodong really did not let go, and as soon as he came up, he denied the legitimacy of the "envoy group", except for the king of Zhou and the king of Tang, he did not give any face to the other ministers of civil and military affairs: "The major affairs of the state are in the hands of you people!" My family Wang Junmen was in Guilin at the beginning of the great situation, just two years to make this situation, the imperial court corpses of the vegetarian meal, each with a ghost, the Western army was helpless after the rebellion, so that Liuzhou, Guilin lost one after another, lost the whole Guizhou, most of Guangxi, you still have the face to live in the world, why don't you kill yourself immediately, to thank the world! ”&1t;/p>

"I'm afraid of death, these guys only want to run for their lives." Tan Xiao clapped his hands and smiled: "Everyone, the Western Army is catching up, what state affairs are you talking about now?" It's the right thing to talk about how to run for your life, you want to talk about state affairs, we will not accompany you, so go to meet the Son of Heaven and escort you to escape! ”&1t;/p>

"Bold fanatics, dare to reverse black and white!" &1t;/p>

Chen Ziqiang shouted and reprimanded angrily: "As a military general from a foreign town, you openly led the army to attack Daozhou, do you want to raise troops to rebel?" Liang Guogong Wang Kefan, does he know about this? ”&1t;/p>

Tan Xiaoyi said solemnly: "Wrong! We're here to escort you. ”&1t;/p>

"Dare to quibble! You attacked Guo Weijing's camp, annihilated the entire army of 30,000 royal divisions, and intercepted the holy car and blocked the road to Guangdong, this is a hijacking, not an escort! ”&1t;/p>

"Mr. Qiutao, we also have a last resort." Tan Xiao sighed with gloom, and said hatefully: "This is because there are traitors in the court, trying to hijack the holy car to go to Guangdong, we rushed to escort the car in the starry night, relying on the divine power of the Son of Heaven to defeat the rebels, so we are ready to send the saint to Nanjing, our two loyal ministers are obviously escorts, and the traitors in the court are the robbers, and they are the traitors who cause chaos in the court!" &1t;/p>

When Tan Xiao said this, his gaze suddenly became extremely fierce, and swept coldly over the faces of the ministers of civil and military affairs, Zhou Guodong looked even more hideous, looking at everyone with bad intentions, and there was silence on the long street for a while, and not far behind them, two columns of Chu cavalry lined up in a neat line, and the rolled battle flags crackled in the wind. &1t;/p>

He Wuyu coughed lightly and said lightly: "Your Majesty has made a clear decree to move to Guangzhou in the near future, and the two generals are probably mistaken." &1t;/p>

Tan Xiao was shocked: "How is it possible?" Your Majesty, is the son of tomorrow, there is a Daoming Jun, my Ming Dynasty since the founding of the country, are based on the north and south of Beijing, now Nanjing is recovered, trillions of people are waiting for the Son of Heaven to drive Nanjing, reorganize the mountains and rivers, recover the Central Plains, and expel the Tartars from the customs, Your Majesty does not go to Nanjing at this time, but wants to go to Guangzhou, what is the reason? ”&1t;/p>

He Wuyu was speechless. &1t;/p>

Why did Emperor Longwu go to Guangzhou, does it need to be said? I'm afraid of your Chu army, can't you hide far away? &1t;/p>

But this reason can't be put on the table, as Emperor Longwu, who claims to be orthodox in the Ming Dynasty, according to the legal principles of Taoism, after the recovery of Nanjing, he should have returned to Nanjing and presided over the overall situation, instead of going to Guangzhou to engage in secession. &1t;/p>

Wonderful! &1t;/p>
