Chapter 70: The Handle

Hao Jing carried gold and silver this time are 10,000 taels, this number did not cause Wu Shaogang to be surprised, he knows that many leaders of the Mongolian tribe are unusually rich, and gold and silver are not so rare in Mongolia, on the contrary, the materials and grain in the south are more valuable in the grassland, and the powerful tribal leaders can take out a lot of gold and silver at will, but they may not be able to take out West Lake Longjing tea at any time.

10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, if they are scattered for the officials of the court, the role is not very large, and the high-ranking officials above the third grade in the court have a lot of money, and they are all rich families, unless Hao Jing smashes 10,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver at the same time to one person, it may have a great effect.

In terms of the amount of money, Wu Shaogang concluded that Hao Jing's envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty on behalf of the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan must have brought the posture of a superior and did not intend to win over the officials of the court on a large scale.

Kublai Khan had such confidence, on the one hand, because of the bravery of the Mongolian cavalry, and on the other hand, I am afraid that some people in the DPRK and China will show weakness and promise something during the peace talks last year.

Guessing this layer, Wu Shaogang has some feelings of enlightenment, no wonder he wants to accept the order to completely exterminate the Mongolian mission and prevent the Mongolian envoy from entering Beijing, if the envoy is allowed to enter the capital, then some people in the court will have a hard time, once the emperor knows that someone actually showed weakness to the Mongolian tribe without authorization, and promised to do things that should not be agreed, then this person will definitely be severely punished.

There is no need to guess, Wu Shaogang also knows who this person is.

However, all this still needs to be confirmed by Hao Jing, and speculation is speculation after all.

Hao Jing, whose self-esteem and self-confidence had suffered a heavy blow, although he began to eat, his body collapsed, and he couldn't see it.

Heart disease is difficult to treat.

Entering Zhenzhou City, Wu Shaogang specially found a place to house Hao Jing, he did not immediately send Hao Jing to the camp of the Loyal Army, and Wu Shaogang and Lu Xiufu did not immediately go to the camp of the Loyal Army.

This time, Wu Shaogang, Lu Xiufu and others came to Zhenzhou Mansion City, and no one knew what they were doing here, so naturally no one would come to ask.

Wu Shaogang was worried that Lu Xiufu, who knew the reason for the incident, would make a suggestion and ask that the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing be sent to the military camp to be detained, but two days later, Lu Xiufu did not mention this matter at all.

For two days, Wu Shaogang always paid attention to Hao Jing's situation, and after learning that Hao Jing was bedridden, he was determined to talk to Hao Jing again, and he couldn't let Hao Jing die like this, or be depressed forever.

The smell of Chinese medicine permeated, making Wu Shaogang, who walked into the room, frown.

Looking at the cooled Chinese medicine that had been placed on the table, Wu Shaogang brushed his sleeves and knocked the porcelain bowl to the ground.

The crisp sound woke up Hao Jing, who was lying on the bed.

After seeing Wu Shaogang, Hao Jing's eyes dimmed, obviously thinking of what Wu Shaogang had said before.

"Mr. Hao, you are a scholar, this allusion to putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, I don't need to explain you to understand, if you are always indulged in what I say, the gods will not be able to save you...

Hao Jing raised his head again, trying to hold himself up.

Seeing this situation, Wu Shaogang stepped forward, carefully helped Hao Jing up, and put the pillow on his back.

It was already the hot season, and Hao Jing was actually covered with a thick quilt, which showed that his body was extremely weak.

Wu Shaogang's action touched Hao Jing.

Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang, his chest rising and falling violently.

"Vice General Wu, I can take the liberty of asking, how much you are noble."

"I'm seventeen years old, and I'm four years old."

Hao Jing's chest rose and fell even more, and he looked at Wu Shaogang with a look of horror in his eyes.

"W-what, you're only seventeen years old...

Hao Jing couldn't believe it at all, Wu Shaogang, who spoke and acted so well, was only seventeen years old, which was beyond his imagination, seventeen years old had not yet reached the age of a weak crown, but he had just become an adult, and his cognition of the world should be simple and naïve.

"I can't believe it, I really can't believe it, in front of Vice General Wu, I'm really shameless...

"Mr. Hao, there is no need to have such thoughts, I am also because I have some adventures and encountered many twists and turns, so I will have some opinions on many things, this is nothing, during the Warring States Period, the twelve-year-old Ganluo became the secretary of Qin, compared with Ganluo, I am too far behind."

Hao Jing's lips trembled, and he was speechless.

"Mr. Hao, the words I said three days ago, there are also biases, the ancients Yun, the scholar is the confidant of the death, the woman is the one who pleases herself, in this life, it is difficult to meet the Ming Jun, once you meet, you must be loyal, in my opinion, the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan is a rare king, with extraordinary courage, Mr. Hao for its service, is also expected, on the other hand, I Song Dynasty, the shame of Jingkang is still unforgettable, many people in the court are weak and happy, the following will follow, up and down, the atmosphere of decadence is pervasive, This great Song Dynasty will definitely be buried... ”

Hao Jing's face suddenly had a trace of blood, and when Wu Shao just finished speaking, he followed and spoke.

"Since Vice Admiral Wu thinks that the Great Khan is a rare king, why don't you go to defect, I am willing to recommend it with all my might..."

Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing with a serious expression and shook his head slightly.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, Kublai Khan is indeed a rare king, but in my eyes, it is really nothing, my fate is up to me, whether it is the emperor or the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan, don't think about swaying me."

Hao Jing's face became more and more red, he looked at Wu Shaogang, and his body began to tremble slightly.

These words are unusually bold, and they are simply rebellious.

Wu Shaogang was able to say these words in front of his Hao Jing, which was obviously a heart-to-heart.

"Vice General Wu, I understand your thoughts, I don't have the courage of yours, I don't even dare to think about these things, the age of seventeen is really good, I dare to think about anything, dare to do anything, I know the purpose of your coming today, and thank you for your kindness, don't worry, I won't die so soon, I still have a lot of things to do."

When he said this, Hao Jing's expression was much more relaxed.

Wu Shaogang exhaled slightly, he knew that Hao Jing didn't have much to do.

"Vice General Wu is just trying to know the purpose of my visit, since Vice General Wu can confide in his heart, then I will never hide anything, I came here for two purposes, one is to inform the Great Khan of the succession to the throne, Mongolia hopes to be able to fight with the Great Song Dynasty to settle the people, and the other is to implement the peace in Ezhou."

Wu Shaogang listened very carefully, and as soon as Hao Jing's words fell, he spoke.

"I have guessed these two points, and there is one more thing, Mr. Hao did not say, Kublai Khan's younger brother Abuligo rebelled, and the Mongolian steppe was already in civil strife, Kublai Khan tried every means to calm the civil strife and stabilize his position, and there can be no external trouble at this moment, otherwise it will affect Kublai Khan's campaign deployment to exterminate the rebels, because of this reason, Mr. Hao will send me to the Great Song Dynasty."

Hao Jing didn't show surprise and nodded silently.

"Vice General Wu is right, the rebellion of the prince has caused the anger of the Great Khan, at such a critical moment, there can be no accidents outside, otherwise the Great Khan will not be able to make deployments, but there is one thing, presumably Vice General Wu is not very clear, that is, I was ordered to come to negotiate peace this time, and the agreement on the implementation of the battle of Ezhou is not unreasonable, the Great Song Dynasty court agreed to the request put forward by the Great Khan, I am just here to implement these matters."

"Oh, the court has promised the Great Khan what he wanted."

Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang, and a smile flashed on his face.

"First, the Great Song Dynasty court paid 300,000 taels of silver, which was to make up for the losses of our Mongolian army, second, Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road were open to our Mongolia, allowing free trade and commerce, and third, the Great Song Dynasty court was a vassal to our Mongolian Great Khan.

Wu Shaogang's face has changed a little, he really didn't expect that someone in the court would agree to such a collegiate condition, this is no longer a simple show of weakness, but obviously surrender to the other party, if the emperor knows about these matters, he must be furious.

The Southern Song Dynasty court, which was reluctant to steal peace, the style of appeasement and pleasure has been deeply rooted in the bones, and it cannot be changed at all, and the national heroes Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others who fought against foreign races were either killed on trumped-up charges or left idle, that is because the appeasement and surrender factions in the court were afraid, and they would rather cede land and pay compensation in exchange for temporary tranquility, rather than stand up to resist the invasion of the outside world.

And the key figure in this is the emperor, if the emperor is determined to resist the invasion of foreign races, many things will not happen at all.

A sense of pathos lingered in Wu Shaogang's heart, what kind of court is this, spineless, drunk and dreaming of death.

Such a court will not perish, and heaven will not tolerate it.

"Mr. Hao has said so much, but there are documents to prove it."

Wu Shaogang asked like this, it was not very appropriate, even if there was a document, Hao Jing would not take it out easily.

However, Hao Jing's attitude is very calm, maybe he thinks that Wu Shaogang is not that kind of person at all.

"Don't hide it from Vice General Wu, there is no paperwork, when the troops were withdrawn last year, the envoy sent by the Great Song Dynasty only had a verbal agreement with the Great Khan."

"Mr. Hao, for such a major matter, without a written agreement, isn't it child's play."

"It may not be child's play, if there were not people in the Great Song Dynasty who were weak-hearted, they would not have sent Vice General Wu to do so."

Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing and couldn't help nodding, people were telling the truth.

"What Mr. Hao said is right, but it's a pity that Kublai Khan didn't think about it, this thing without a written agreement can be concealed at any time, as long as the Mongolian mission disappears, everything is equivalent to nothing happening, last year's collegiate meeting, the Great Khan will not understand this, I am afraid that it is also a last resort, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops, I don't know if Mr. Hao thought about this when he came on behalf of the Great Khan."

Hao Jing lowered his head again and stopped speaking.
