After receiving the will of King Yong, Cui Hong immediately went south from Wancheng and entered Guyu one evening.

That night, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the mansion of King Situ Mi.

I saw the curtain of the door opened, and Cui Hong walked out of the carriage with a smile.

At this time, Wang Mizi and Wang Qiu had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw Cui Hong coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

"The junior Wang Qiu has seen Cui Gong."

"Father is here?"

Before the words fell, Cui Hong caught a glimpse of Wang Mi standing in the courtyard waiting.

Wang Mi's move was obviously afraid of being seen by outsiders, so he didn't want to go out to greet him.

And Cui Hong knew that Wang Mi was cautious by nature, so it was not surprising that he made such a move.

He smiled disappreciably and followed Wang Qiu into the mansion.

"Virtuous nephew, the old man will not cause trouble to the house if he comes to disturb him so late, right?"

"Where, where! Cui Gong came to the Humble House to make our mansion shine. ”

Of course, Wang Mi knew why Cui Hong came to visit him, but now this matter is really tricky.

No matter how the government and the opposition persuaded him, Huan Xuan seemed to be determined to fight Nanyang Wancheng.

Coming to the living room and sitting down, Cui Hong stroked his long beard and smiled: "This time, I came here to ask Situ for help." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Mi smiled bitterly.

"It's not that the old man doesn't want to help, it's really a bit tricky this time."

"It's tricky, but it's not like there's no way to solve it."

Well? Wang Mi was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how much he had to say recently, but he couldn't make Huan Xuan change his mind.

He also heard that Bian Fanzhi specially rushed back from Jingshi to persuade Huan Xuan during the day today, but in the end he still returned in vain.

Now Cui Hong is 'talking wildly', and he actually said that the matter can be reversed, is the other party really in the chest? Or did you deliberately say big things to comfort him?

After a long time, Wang Mi came back to his senses, and he was busy asking for advice: "I wish to hear Uncle Xuan's high opinion." ”

"The reason why the lieutenant was angry this time was that in addition to feeling emotionally betrayed by Hexi, the most important point was that he felt that it had affected his authority."

"So as long as these two points are addressed, the captain will definitely be able to change his mind."

"How?"

"First, Hexi can give compensation for the Wancheng conflict, and King Yong is also willing to lower his profile and publicly apologize to Taiwei."

"The second Hexi is willing to support Taiwei's Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, and use the Northern Expedition to save his reputation."

"What?! Northern Expedition to Southern Yan? ”

……

Last night, Cui Hong first went to see Situ Wang Mi, and then visited Huan Xuan's brother-in-law Yin Zhongwen with a heavy gift.

When all the work is done, the sky is about to dawn.

didn't have time to close his eyes and rest, so he drove to the Nanjun Mansion and waited for Huan Xuan to summon him.

Nanjun Mansion is located in the center of Guyi, covering an area of about 100 acres, and was once the residence of Huan Wen.

After Huan Xuan took power, he immediately ordered people to renovate and repair it.

When he moved to the town, he used this mansion as the Xinnan County Mansion to live in and discuss government affairs with the courtiers.

Recently, the situation in Jingxiang has been tense, and the Nanjun Mansion has become more and more busy, and there are people coming and going.

I don't know how long it took to see a small official come out of the mansion and go straight to Cui Hong's carriage.

Cui Hong was in good spirits, jumped down hurriedly, and walked quickly to meet him.

I saw that Cui Hong came to the front of him, and bowed his hand and said: "On the order of the Tai Lieutenant, I have come to inform the adults to enter the mansion." ”

Finally waiting for the good news, Cui Hong hurriedly asked the little official: "Where can I go down to see Nanjun Gong?" ”

"Now that the court meeting is coming to an end, the captain asked the lord to wait in the next room."

Cui Hong suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Aren't you summoned at the court meeting?" ”

The person who came smiled and said, "No! The captain was going to meet with the adults again after the court meeting. ”

At that moment, Cui Hong ordered the guards to take out ten silver dollars and give them to the little official in front of him, which immediately made the other party secretly speechless.

As Hexi became more and more powerful, the five-baht coins and silver dollars issued by it gradually circulated in various places and became hard currency.

Before coming, King Yong gave him a large sum of money, which was specially used by Cui Hong to make dots up and down.

Don't look at the humble official position of the little official in front of you, but he can be responsible for communication, and the background is definitely not simple.

As Cui Hong expected, the little official in front of him was from the Yin Zhongwen clan, otherwise he would not be polite to Cui Hong.

Under the guidance of the little official in front of him, Cui Hong entered the Nanjun Mansion and came to the wing room to wait.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the wing, he heard a fierce quarrel next door.

It turned out that this wing room was only separated by a wall from the location of the court meeting next door.

Cui Hong casually found a seat and sat down, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

In the past few days, he has been running around, which can be regarded as exhausting him.

made him have to hurry up and recuperate in order to deal with the next Huan Xuan's criticism.

At this time, the next door has quarreled over whether to start a war with Hexi, and the two sides insist on their own words, and no one is convinced.

Huan Xuan sat on the top, his face was gloomy, and his mind was no longer at the court meeting, but shifted to Cui Hong.

To be honest, although this time Huan Xuan was very dissatisfied with Hexi's meddling in Nanyang.

But afterwards, Wei Shuo sent Cui Hong to ask for guilt as soon as possible, which made Huan Xuan feel a little better, and felt that the little brother Wei Shuo still valued him as a big brother.

Perhaps because they saw that Huan Xuan's thoughts did not belong, everyone gradually stopped talking after arguing for a long time.

And Cui Hong next door, at first he listened to a few words attentively, but then it was too hard to sit there and fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, he was gently shaken awake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Yin Zhongwen, it turned out that the court meeting had ended, and Huan Xuan summoned him in for questioning.

Cui Hong didn't dare to slack off, and followed Yin Zhongwen to walk briskly next door.

On the way, Yin Zhongwen saw that there was no one left and right, so he lowered his voice and reminded: "Taiwei's attitude seems to have eased, and it will be up to you next." ”

"As long as Hexi sincerely admits his mistakes and lets Taiwei save face, his wish will come true."

"Oh, thank you Lord Yin for reminding me."

When he came to the place where the courtiers discussed military affairs, Cui Hong found that there were many people sitting at the scene.

In addition to Huan Xuan, Wang Mi, Yang Fu, Huan Qian and other important ministers of the court were also present.

Cui Hong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "See Tai Wei." ”

Perhaps because of the recent political disturbances, Huan Xuan looks a little mentally tired.

He waved his hand and motioned for Cui Hong to step aside.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and everyone was staring at Cui Hong.

Huan Xuan glanced at Cui Hong fixedly, turned his head and instructed Yin Zhongwen: "You come to ask!" ”

Yin Zhongwen is not only an important minister of the imperial court, but also Huan Xuan's brother-in-law, responsible for interrogating Huan Xuan on his behalf.

Yin Zhongwen coughed lightly and said slowly to Cui Hong: "Lord Cui, Hexi has always been friendly with Jiangdong, and the friendship between King Yong and Nanjun Gong is even more irreversible. ”

"Why did you insist on going against the imperial court this time and wantonly intervening in the Nanyang dispute?"

"Lord Yin's words are wrong!"

"Hexi has no intention of confronting the imperial court, and he is even more reluctant to confront the Nanjun Gongdao soldiers."

"This time to send troops to Nanyang, it is really a last resort."

"Could it be that you have a hard time?" Yin Zhongwen asked very cooperatively.

"Yes!"

"King Yong received a secret report and learned that if Hexi did not send troops to Nanyang, Yu Qian and others would switch to Murong De of Nanyan."

"King Yong is worried that Hu Lu will interfere and complicate the situation."

"So there was no time to communicate with Nanjun Gong, so he hurriedly sent troops south."

"Who would have thought that the bald Wei Tan, the main general of the front line, was originally from Hulu, and he didn't know the friendship between King Yong and Nanjun Gong."

"There was a conflict with the Jingzhou army, resulting in the loss of more than 1,000 people in the Jingzhou army."

"When King Yong knew, it had already happened, and it was too late to stop it."

"As a last resort, King Yong had no choice but to send his relatives to ask Nanjun Gong for his guilt."

As soon as Cui Hong's words came out, the scene was silent.

Although most people know that the other party is talking nonsense, no one dares to stand up and expose it.

On the contrary, everyone hoped that Huan Xuan would accept this statement and reach a settlement with Hexi as soon as possible.

At this time, Cui Hong took out a letter of guilt in his arms and presented it to Huan Xuan with both hands.

"The duty of King Yong, it is inconvenient to leave for the time being, this is his own handwriting, please take a look."

Huan Xuan took it and opened it silently, but saw that Wei Shuo in the letter reprimanded him and apologized to him repeatedly.

Regardless of whether what was said in the letter was true or not, at least Huan Xuan saw that Wei Shuo had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and the anger in his heart was reduced a little.

Although he is not ready to continue to fight with Hexi, Huan Xuan also has to consider how to eliminate the adverse effects.

can't let the outside world think that he Huan Xuan is afraid of Hexi, which is not conducive to maintaining his reputation in the future, and it will not help him plan a great cause in the future.

So, Huan Xuan suddenly leaned down, stared at Cui Hong and asked, "My father can no longer hold Wancheng accountable for the conflict, but I don't know how Zhiyuan plans to let me save my reputation?" ”
