Hearing Qin Lei's word 'can', Prince Rong actually felt a sense of relief, and sat softly on the chair, only to feel the fire burning in his throat. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info didn't care if it was clean or dirty, so he picked up the big bowl and poured it down, but he choked and coughed.

took out a handkerchief to wipe the saliva on the side of his mouth, as well as the white sweat on his forehead, Prince Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Hurry up and sign the contract......" said with annoyance: "This performance of the prince is expensive enough!" "If you had agreed to Qin Lei's request at the beginning, it would have been five million, but after some bargaining, it rose to six million.

Qin Lei didn't hesitate, so he ordered someone to take out the deed that had been drafted a long time ago, and asked Prince Rong and the best monk to sign and seal.

After taking the yellow silk with the deed written on it, Prince Rong and Zen Master Huineng carefully measured it, only to see thousands of words sprinkled on it, and summarized it concisely and concisely, which is three contents: one is that the two countries immediately stopped their troops, and the Qi State sent the Qin army out of the country, and it was not allowed to be stopped along the way; second, Qi compensated Qin for the loss of six million taels of silver; Third, it is stated that the two sides shall not mistreat each other's prisoners and exchange prisoners on the agreed date.

After thinking for a while, Prince Rong pondered: "Can you change the wording?" ”

"How do I change it?" Qin Lei asked with a smile.

"The first article and the second article are combined, and the two sides should strike their troops, each of them shall return to its own country, and the Qi country shall provide the funds for the promotion...... Six million taels. Prince Rong discussed in a low voice: "The word 'compensation' is a bit harsh. ”

"Yes." Qin Lei said generously, and instructed Tu Gongchun to say: "Rewrite a deed, pay attention to the wording, and don't hurt the feelings of the friends of the Qi country." "Okay, as soon as I saw Prince Rong agree, I went straight from an enemy to a friend.

is worthy of being a jinshi from the imperial examination, and it didn't take long for Tu Gongchun to present the rewritten deed and ask the prince to take a look.

Qin Lei just glanced at it and asked people to show it to Prince Rong and Monk Huineng.

After reading the deed carefully, Prince Rong nodded and said, "This time it's much better." As he spoke, he looked at Zen Master Huineng.

"Good ......" The old monk expressed his attitude, and the two got up and said, "Wait for us to bring the covenant back to the palace, and ask Your Majesty to read it." "As long as Your Majesty uses the seal, we will immediately turn back and make a covenant with the prince."

"As it should be." Qin Lei nodded and smiled: "Such a big matter, I think it is for the Prime Minister to nod." ”

Prince Rong's face suddenly tightened, and he corrected in a low voice: "It's my imperial brother, His Majesty the Emperor Xinghua, not the Prime Minister of Shangguan." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lei patted his cheek lightly, and said with a very apologetic smile: "Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, Xiao Wang has been in the Qi State for many years, and I have always heard that His Majesty is concentrating on cultivation, and the Qi State is the prime minister of Shangguan who has the final say...... It seems to be a pure rumor. ”

"It's just rumors, really." Prince Rong forced a smile and said: "In the world of our Qi country, naturally the surname Qi has the final say." ”

Qin Lei laughed and said, "It's a lonely speech." He just habitually sowed discord, but he didn't expect to poke Prince Rong's sore spot. Saying that, he got up and smiled: "In order to make amends for the two of you, I will invite you to dinner." ”

Prince Rong and Zen Master Huineng were already hungry, but when they looked at the bright sky outside the tent, they couldn't help but groan in their hearts: "How many hours will it take?" Then he got up and took his leave, "Your Majesty is still waiting for news here, and we really don't dare to delay." Resolutely rejected the kindness of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng.

Qin Lei enthusiastically stayed again, and when he saw that the two insisted on leaving, he sent them out of the camp. Until the two got into the car, they still didn't give up holding Prince Rong with one hand and the old monk with the other and said: "King Lone, let the people below prepare a dinner, and when the two noble envoys come back, they will have a banquet." ”

At this time, even Zen Master Huineng couldn't hold his breath, and Heshi smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, why don't I wait for tomorrow to come again?" "For the people of Qi State, the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it is, this is common sense that fools know......

Of course, Qin Lei would not let them succeed, so he only heard him smile heartily: "From here to the palace, it is only forty miles round trip, as long as the two of you have a little leg and foot, it is more than enough to rush back before dark," said his hands with a slight force, and the pain made the two of them pale, so they had to nod again and again. But most of the thoughts in my heart are perfunctory about the past.

But I heard Qin Lei smile gently: "If the two of you haven't ......come back when you hold the lamp," he said, he looked up at the sky, and said in a cold voice: "Lone will be very unhappy." Only then did he finally let go of his hands and let the two of them go.

The Qi team gradually moved away, and Qin Lei stood in front of the camp with his hands in his hands, but he didn't have the slightest intention of going in.

The generals were with them, and they didn't see him speak for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" Qin Lei came back to his senses, shook his head, and turned around and entered the camp.

The generals looked at each other and had no choice but to follow in.

Qin Lei did think of something, but he really couldn't share it with the generals...... He found that Qi Guo's attitude was very weak, and he seemed to lack confidence in Zhao Wuji's coming to relieve the siege. What does this mean? This shows that the Yum Gongba achievement did not go north...... What does this mean? This shows that there is something that attracts him more than the main force of the Qin State......

Qin Lei is still unsure for the time being, is it the Tiger Prison Pass or the whereabouts of Emperor Zhaowu? Because for Zhao Wuji, no matter which goal he is, the value is much higher than that of returning to the capital.

The only thing he knew for sure was that it had to be bad news......

On the carriage back to the capital, Prince Rong was chattering and complaining: "National teacher, have you ever seen a prince like Qin Yutian?" Rude, aggressive, greedy and cunning, unscrupulous! I really can't find the second one in the history books. ”

"It's like a mountain king." Zen Master Huineng smiled bitterly: "Maybe I led the troops to fight for too long, and I was affected by the soldiers." ”

After scolding for a while, Prince Rong remembered something and said, "What are those boxes of the Zen master?" Why are they all gone? ”

Zen Master Huineng seemed to have expected it, and said unhurriedly: "That was a gift from Prince Cheng when he was in Beijing. But now that the two sides are hostile, and the old man is an angel and negotiates on behalf of His Majesty, it is natural that the original thing should be returned, so as not to make irresponsible remarks. "A wise man never tells the truth, but he also doesn't talk nonsense. His big boxes did contain 10,000 gold, but it is unknown whether there are any other entrainments.

But Prince Rong only asked, and seeing the old monk's words, he turned to the focus of the conversation, and said in a low voice: "National teacher, do you say that Your Majesty can agree to this contract?" ”

"Your Majesty should be fine there." Zen Master Huineng lightly twisted his eyebrows and slowly muttered: "It's just that the prime minister is there, I'm afraid he won't necessarily agree...... Six million taels is too much. ”

"Daqi is my Qi family's, my imperial brother's!" Listening to what the old monk said, Prince Rong suddenly remembered Qin Lei's teasing appearance of 'only knowing that there is a prime minister but not an emperor', and he couldn't help but say namelessly: "Lone has endured him for a long time!" This time he happily agreed, and if he still pushes back, he will give him a good look! "But I don't know what it's pretty.

The two stopped talking, and sat silently in the shaking carriage, quietly making their own calculations.

As soon as he entered the capital, Prince Rong asked the garrison general who was waiting at the gate of the city: "Did that Kong Ming lantern really cause a fire in the city earlier?" ”

The general nodded and said, "Many of those things fell in the city, and they did ignite more than ten places on the ground, the most important of which was the Prime Minister's mansion. As he spoke, he glanced at the city that was still billowing with black smoke, and said worriedly: "It hasn't rained for half a month, and it's dry and dry on this day, and everything can catch fire, and it's not easy to put it out." ”

Prince Rong couldn't help but sigh and said: "The mansions of so many dignitaries and nobles, why did they just burn down the Prime Minister's Mansion?" "The appearance of schadenfreude is truly hateful.

After scolding all the way to the outside of the Wanshou Palace, Prince Rong stopped his mouth and got out of the car with the old national teacher, preparing to give an account to His Majesty the Emperor.

To the surprise of the two, Prime Minister Shangguan was actually in the palace...... I saw him sitting on the futon under the emperor with a solemn face, as if everyone owed him two hundred yuan.

As the two expected, when Prince Rong showed the deed to Emperor Xinghua, His Majesty the Emperor did not say anything, but just handed it to the Prime Minister. Shangguan Yunhe took the deed, put on tortoiseshell glasses, and looked at it with great difficulty.

It doesn't matter if the old prime minister doesn't look at it, he was furious when he saw it, and after seeing it all with his anger, he grabbed it with one hand, and Prince Chaorong shook vigorously, and roared in a low voice: "Whoever signs this kind of treaty that humiliates the country will be the sinner of my Daqi through the ages!" ”

Prince Rong had already carried out psychological construction all the way, and even the tip of the needle was on the top of Mai Mang. I saw him staring at the old prime minister with a watery face, and said word by word: "This treaty is the Lone King and the National Teacher, and they negotiated with the Qin State according to His Majesty's wishes, could it be that in the Prime Minister's opinion, Your Majesty and the Lone King will also commit treason?" "He changed the phrase 'sinners through the ages' to 'treason,' which is the standard concept of stealing.

But this is not the most insidious place, the most insidious thing is that he dragged Emperor Xinghua into it, creating a posture of advancing and retreating alone with His Majesty, so that the emperor could not judge impartially...... To say that Prince Rong is wrong is to admit that he is wrong, and the emperor has not yet had noble sentiments.

This is where the outcome is foreshadowed.

Prime Minister Wen also sensed Prince Rong's tricks, but he didn't care and said: "It's useless to talk too much, anyway, there is not so much money in the treasury!" ”

Prince Rong had already guessed that the Prime Minister would shirk like this, and as soon as his voice fell, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Brother Huang, the younger brother wants to participate in the impeachment of this treacherous and loyal country's huge greed!" ”

The hall was silent......

Although the contradiction between the two is very deep, Prince Rong's outburst in disregard of the occasion still surprised the emperor.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Xinghua decided to continue with the mud. "It's not a dog to be in charge for three years." He smiled slightly and said: "The old prime minister is in charge of a big mess of Daqi, there are many difficulties, and there are many puzzles, brother, you should also be more considerate." ”

"Don't say that the retainer brother is not angry!" Prince Rong kicked his nose and said: "The Prime Minister has been in charge of the country for nearly 30 years, and the foreigners think that I am only the Prime Minister, not the Emperor!" ”

Emperor Xinghua's face became a little ugly, Shangguan Yunhe also blushed, and looked at the chattering Prince Rong without saying a word, only to hear him continue: "If you can cure the country, what will a good Great Qi be like after a few decades?" The treasury is empty, and the people are struggling to make a living! At last, the tone of his voice was raised, and the emperor's ears were buzzing, and he was on the verge of an attack.

Monk Huineng had no choice but to smile bitterly and comfort: "Didn't the prime minister change the law?" He should have been given some time. ”

"Change the law!" This old monk simply had bad intentions, and in just a few words, he instigated the anger of Prince Rong...... Who doesn't know that he is the vanguard of opposition to the reform? In front of him, these two words simply added fuel to the fire, and he heard His Royal Highness the Prince roar in a low voice: "I have been tossing for several years, and the people don't know how many people have been looted?" As a result, I can't even get a few million taels! Where did all the money go? It's not that he and those officials are greedy! ”

"It's really not ......," the old monk bowed slightly, "but you can't be suspicious." ”

"Enough!" I only heard the emperor roar angrily: "Prime Minister Shangguan, raise six million taels of silver in two hours, and show them whether you are capable or incompetent!" Is the treasury empty or solid! ”
