Peng Yue's offer was indeed surprising, because he wanted Wang Zhi to negotiate with several different princes with only one purpose: to maintain their current state of constant warfare, and to maintain their balance of power, so that the result of one family dominating or even annexing others could occur. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Peng Yue did not explain his reason, but only told Wang Zhi: This kind of situation is also beneficial to Wang Zhi, and in this case, he will be more profitable.

Wang Zhi also understands this section, only in the current chaos in Japan, he can maintain the current strength is very influential. Otherwise, a country would never allow such a force as it would exist.

Moreover, only in the war in Japan can he raise prices and sell arms indefinitely, and if Japan is peacefully reunified, it may not be a good place to do business, which is also the reason why Wang Zhi chose to smuggle to Japan.

In this way, Peng Yue and Wang Zhizhi became unanimous, because they both achieved their own goals and interests, and then, they waited for Zhu Houxi to approve the right to trade with Japan, and this still needs a lot of effort, Peng Yue and Hu Zongxian understand, Wang Zhi also understands.

Soon, Peng Yue and Hu Zongxian's recital was prepared, and the content was the result of their negotiations with Wang Zhi: they asked the imperial court to open trade with Japan, and in compensation, Wang Zhi and the Japanese government were willing to help eliminate the Japanese invaders.

But Peng Yue didn't expect that sometimes opposing a thing would not be because it was good or bad in itself, but only because his enemies supported it.

This is the case with Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua now, they have long been jealous of Peng Yue's great achievements, and Yan Song also secretly blamed Zhao Wenhua for not coming back so early, so he asked Zhu Houxi to send Zhao Wenhua to supervise the army again.

Zhu Houxi is not stupid, he feels that the situation in the southeast is very good now, and Yan Song's request is nothing more than to grab credit for Zhao Wenhua. In addition, he knew that Peng Yue and Zhao Wenhua had contradictions, and maybe Zhao Wenhua would be bad if he went, so Zhu Houxi did not agree to this matter.

Although Yan Song was secretly anxious, he had no choice, so he secretly told Hu Zongxian to secretly find Peng Yue's handle, but Hu Zongxian always said that officials crushed people to death, and it was not easy for him to do things under his hands.

But if Yan Song wants to solve Peng Yue directly, he has no choice but to find some small fish and shrimp in Zhejiang Province, and secretly tell them to pay close attention to Peng Yue's actions, and report to himself immediately if there is a sensitive behavior.

It's not easy to say that Old Man Yan is not easy, it's easy to fight the country and it's difficult to defend the country, although he is in a high position now, he must beware of others taking it away. And Peng Yue has just made a great contribution and won Zhu Houxi's trust, he must not be allowed to have a chance to get himself, although Peng Yue has not yet made a move on himself, but if he waits until then, it will be too late!

The first strike is strong, and before the political opponent has the ability to subvert himself, he must be suppressed, this is Yan Song's wisdom of "guarding the country".

And when he saw the excerpt sent by Peng Yue requesting the opening of trade with Japan, Yan Song knew that the opportunity had come, and at this time, a chess piece he was ambushed in Zhejiang also sent him an "exciting" news...

The news of Peng Yue and Hu Zongxian's performance was quickly put on Zhu Houxi's desk, and Zhu Houxi naturally wanted to ask the opinion of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Yan Song naturally wanted to seize this opportunity and lay it out well, so he first recounted how hateful the Japanese were, who had been robbing homes and houses before, bullying the good people of China, and the Japanese government was not a thing, it was poor and chaotic, and there was not much oil and water at all to do business with them.

Then he said how hateful Wang Zhi is, who usually robbed and smuggled at sea and did a lot of bad things, and that this kind of person must not be forgiven and must be brought to justice.

Then, he said a very bold sentence: Why do you have to let the Japanese help fight the Japanese bandits, they have always been capricious, can this be sincere? Maybe we'll be counted on our own. Besides, I don't care? And help with the Japanese and pirates?

Yan Song's analysis is reasonable, and he is also enthusiastic, and Zhu Houxi on the side also followed Yan Song's thinking, in fact, he was unwilling to agree to trade with Japan, he only considered interests, and now the profits of trade are already very large, and he can't afford to do business with small Japan where birds don't. Coupled with Yan Song's flickering, Zhu Houxi was even more unwilling.

In fact, Peng Yue's original intention of trading with Japan was not to make money, the most important thing was to solve the current chaos, but Zhu Houxi didn't care about this, and he didn't understand the strategies Peng Yue said from the twists and turns.

The strategy is already profound, how can it be explained clearly by one or two sentences of official rhetoric? So Zhu Houxi simply didn't care about that, he just felt that it was really unreliable to let the Japanese fight the Japanese, and it was more realistic for the Ming army to destroy them one by one, so he naturally ignored Peng Yue and Hu Zongxian's brilliant strategy.

"Your Majesty, there is still something I have to say...", Yan Song saw that Zhu Houxi had already expressed his attitude towards trade with Japan, so he wanted to add a little fire and suppress Peng Yue.

"Oh? What's the matter? Aiqing, please speak..."

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has always wondered why Peng Shangshu would propose this report, but... However, a fold sent by Wang Bengu yesterday was a surprise to the ministers. I think about it a little clearly..."

"What the hell is going on, don't sell it to me." , Zhu Houxi said impatiently.

"Wang Bengu said in the compromise, the thief Wang Zhi... was treated as a guest by Peng Shangshu, and has been entertained by Peng Shangshu on the shore, so the minister wants... Is it possible that Peng Shangshu got the favor of the thief Kou Wangzhi, so he got on such an excerpt..."

"Huh?" , Zhu Houxi listened, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously...

Yan Song observed Zhu Houyu's expression, and his heart gradually relaxed: although this move may not be able to bring down Peng Yue, Zhu Houyu's favor for him brought by Peng Yue's previous meritorious service may also disappear.

As for Hu Zongxian, he is just a small person in Yan Song's eyes, although he is attached to Zhao Wenhua, but when he abandons his son, he abandons his son, if he can fight Peng Yue, what can such a small chess piece be?

As for the problem of the Japanese rebellion on the southeast coast, Yan Song can't take care of it, anyway, those Japanese robbers can't grab their own homes. At the beginning, in order to defeat Xia Yan, such a big war in the northwest, Yan Song could say that he would sacrifice it, but now a small rebellion on the southeast coast, what can it be counted...
