Yu Shiji smiled slightly, "Why did Your Highness say this?" How could the old minister hide it from His Highness, there is no need. ”

"Humph! You have hidden a lot of things from the imperial grandfather, don't think I don't know. Yang Qi glared at Yu Shiji angrily.

Yu Shiji still said calmly: "What His Royal Highness said is a crime of bullying the king, which makes it difficult for the old ministers to accept, according to the imperial court system, the prime minister has the power of the prime minister, and not everything has to be reported to the saint, all the military and political important ministers will report it in time, and they will never dare to hide it." ”

"So what is important and what is not, and who will grasp this scale?"

"His Highness has asked Wechen countless times this question, but Wechen is still willing to answer, return to His Highness, and let the subordinates decide."

"Who will be in charge of the subordinates?"

"At present, Feng Deyi is temporarily in charge."

"For a while!"

Yang Qi sneered: "A few months ago, he was temporarily in charge, and now it is still him, I want to know, how long is this temporary, one year, two years, ten years, eight years?" ”

"Your Highness, this appointment is approved by the Holy Lord, and if it is cancelled, it must also be decided by the Holy Lord, and the old minister has no right to change it."

Yang Qi stared fiercely at Yu Shiji's slender and sinister face, but Yu Shiji's gaze was unusually calm, like a pool of ancient wells, and there was no ripple for a long time.

Yang Qi was helpless, so he had to hate and say: "Lone will settle accounts with you in the future, but Lone wants to know now, it is rumored that Zhang Xuan has captured all the important members of the Bohai Society, and Lone wants to know, is this true?" ”

"It's just some rumors and speculations, and the old minister feels that there is no basis."

Yang Qi flipped through Luo Yi's military report: "But Luo Yi also said in the military newspaper that Zhang Xuan took the old nest of the Bohai Society and forced Gao Lie to withdraw his troops from Youzhou, doesn't Yu Xiangguo think there is something in this?" ”

Yu Shiji smiled faintly: "Luo Yi is a general, and the nest in the eyes of a general often refers to a logistics powerhouse. Just like General Zhang took the Turkic lair, if the members of the Bohai Society were really caught, I believe that Luo Yi would say it clearly, and I also believe that General Zhang's military report would be delivered as soon as possible, and now almost half a month has passed, and General Zhang's military report has never arrived. Therefore, Lao Chen felt that it was just a small victory, so there was no need to write a military newspaper. ”

"But Lone doesn't think so, there's a problem here!"

"The old minister can understand His Royal Highness's eagerness to eradicate the Bohai Society, seeing that the Bohai Sea will sit in Hebei, we are all anxious, but the old minister thinks that with General Zhang in Hebei, the Bohai Sea will not be able to turn the waves, and this Youzhou crisis is the best example."

"But Gu still thinks that Zhang Xuan has caught someone from the Bohai Society, so what should I do?"

"Has His Highness reported to the Holy Lord?"

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "It was the emperor's grandfather who asked Gu to discuss with Yu Xiangguo." ”

Yu Shiji was silent for a moment and said, "Since His Highness doesn't trust Zhang Xuan. Then you can send Yushi to commend Zhang Xuan for saving Youzhou, and at the same time secretly investigate the truth. ”

Yang Qi nodded, "It's just a matter of willingness, how about letting your brother's secretary Lang Yu Shinan be the imperial history?" “

Yu Shiji shook his head, "He is too pedantic, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do this." ”

Yang Qi's gaze stabbed at Yu Shiji like a knife, "I think he is a loyal and upright minister, unlike some people who are two-faced and three-faced." Misleading the country for one's own selfish interests! ”

Yu Shiji was furious in his heart, but his face was still silent and said, "Since Your Highness has already decided. Then give the order! ”

．．．．．．

Yu Shiji retired, and at this time, Li Gang walked out of the room, Li Gang was no longer in Jingzhao Mansion, and was transferred to the prince's guest at the beginning of the year, nominally a fictitious position. But in fact, he was Yang Qi's master and staff, and Li Gang also left a deep impression on Yang Qi because of the Tiansi Pavilion case and Yuwenshu's hard resistance.

"Sir, do you see anything from Yu Shiji's words?" Yang Qi asked eagerly.

Li Gang shook his head, "Yu Shiji, this person is extremely deep in the city, and he definitely can't see his true thoughts in his heart on the surface, His Highness humiliated him like that just now. He didn't change his face, but it was also expected that he exonerated Zhang Xuan, this person didn't get up early, and he spoke for Zhang Xuan like this, which only explained one thing. ”

Yang Qi snorted heavily, "Gu valued him so much back then and promoted him, but he actually bribed Yu Shiji, which disappointed Gu too much." ”

"Your Highness, people can't help themselves in the officialdom, this is not, the key is whether he caught the important members of the Bohai Society, this is the key, if he catches the important members of the Bohai Society and hides it and does not report it, it means that he has different intentions."

Yang Qi took a few steps with his hands in his hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Lone will let Yu Shinan find out this matter well, once it is true, Lone will never spare him!" ”

"Your Highness, in fact, Yu Shiji is right, Yu Shinan is straightforward but not round, His Highness expects him to investigate Zhang Xuan will not have any results."

Yang Qi was stunned, "Didn't Mr. recommend him?" ”

Li Gang said with a smile: "The art of war is cloudy, the real is false, the virtual is real, Yu Shinan is just a false investigation, confusing Zhang Xuan, His Royal Highness must send another capable person to investigate secretly, and then hand over the investigation evidence to Yu Shinan, so that the truth can be found." ”

Yang Qi nodded slowly, "It's still Mr. Clever!" ”

．．．．．．．

The negotiations between the Bohai Society and Zhang Xuan have been carried out for two rounds, and the two sides have reached a consensus on the release of people, Zhang Xuan promised not to hand over the members of the Bohai Society to the imperial court, but the two sides have never been able to negotiate the ransom, Zhang Xuan's asking price has been reduced by half, the ransom is 50,000 taels and 500,000 stone of grain, but Gao Lie still can't accept it, Gao Lie's price is 30,000 taels of gold and 200,000 stone of grain, but Zhang Xuan refuses to accept it, because the difference is too great, the negotiations between the two sides have reached a deadlock for a while.

More than half a month has passed, and Gao Hui has traveled back and forth to Qingzhou and Hebei three times, but none of them have been able to negotiate, which makes Gao Hui really worried.

At night, Gao Hui's carriage slowly stopped in front of the Fang family's villa in the suburbs of Licheng County, which is the place where Fang Xuanling's father Fang Yanqian recupes, Gao Hui has nothing to do, so he can only consider finding a breakthrough from the Fang family, in fact, Gao Hui also understands that the decision in Qingzhou is up to Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan does not come forward, let Fang Xuanling come forward.

But Fang Xuanling is a military advisor after all, and he can also influence Zhang Xuan's decision-making in some aspects, if Fang Xuanling can persuade Zhang Xuan to make appropriate concessions, then the consensus of the two sides can be reached.

Gao Hui waited at the door for a while, and a housekeeper came out and said: "Madam, I'm really sorry, my lord is seriously ill and can't receive guests, it's better for my wife to leave his address, and when my lord recovers, he will definitely come to visit!" ”

Gao Hui sighed softly, Fang Yanqian had been sick for more than a year, and when he recovered, he didn't know that he was going to go to the Year of the Monkey, so she had to shake her head and said, "Forget it, I hope your master recovers soon!" ”

"Madame, go slowly!"

Gao Hui got into the carriage and ordered: "Go back to the county seat!" ”

The carriage started and drove towards the county seat, about a quarter of an hour later, Gao Hui's carriage arrived at the south gate of Licheng County, right here, a group of cavalry rushed out of the city, rushing out of the city, Gao Hui recognized the leader at a glance through the car window, she suddenly shouted in a hurry: "General Zhang!" Zhang Dashuai, please stay! ”

The person at the head turned out to be Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan heard the shout, slowly reined in the reins, Gao Hui was very excited, ran out of the carriage, and didn't care about the appearance, ran to Zhang Xuan with his skirt, grabbed the reins of the war horse and said in a trembling voice: "General Zhang, please!" ”

In desperation, she knelt down in front of Zhang Xuan's war horse.

Zhang Xuan frowned, "Madam, what are you doing?" Hurry up, please! ”

"General Zhang, can we have a good talk."

Zhang Xuan said lightly: "We don't need to talk about it anymore, I'll tell Mrs. like this!" The imperial court already knows the news that I have captured the important members of the Bohai Society, I am afraid that the imperial historian will come to mention someone soon, and I will try my best to delay the time, but you should also show sincerity, otherwise, I can't withstand the pressure of the imperial court, and you don't blame me for breaking my promise. ”

"Of course we have enough sincerity, but we really can't afford the price offered by the general, can we ask the general to give in and beg the general!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Xuan sighed, "For the sake of Mrs. being so pitiful, I will give in one more step, 40,000 taels of gold, 400,000 stones of grain, and the goods will be released!" ”

Gao Hui hesitated for a long time, she could promise the gold, but she still couldn't afford to pay back the grain, they barely had 400,000 stone in stockpile, but if the grain was given to Zhang Xuan, then their army would have to drink the northwest wind, this is the choice between the army and the backbone, no matter what, she had to go back and discuss with her brother.

"I beg the general to give me another five days, and after five days I will definitely give the general a clear answer."

"Then we will make a decision, I will wait for my wife for another five days, and if I don't come in five days, then I will treat it as if the Bohai Society would give up negotiations, and I will hand over the people to the court for credit."

"Don't worry, general, I will definitely come!"
