Chapter 684: Honest Boss
Duan Yiming listened and stood up suddenly. This is worth it, is it possible that Yue Shaoan is crazy? How can I not get past my own door, the morning has just passed, and now people are bombarding. With Duan Yiming's cleverness, he naturally knew that this was from Yue Shao'an's instructions, otherwise, a small envoy would not dare to challenge his authority like this with a little courage.
His face sank, looked at Gao Chong, and said, "Master Gao, you Song Shicheng have been like this three times and twice, what does this mean?" Didn't I force you to bring you to justice? β
Gao Chong's face was calm, he stretched out one arm and drank the tea in front of him, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the emperor now thinks that I am in your prison, so it will be like this, just wait for me to go out and tell them to know." β
As he spoke, a muffled sound came from afar. Gao Chong's face changed slightly, but Duan Yiming's face was already blue, and both of them thought of something. After a while, someone hurriedly came to report that the newly replaced palace gate was blown away again.
After confirming the conjecture of the two, Duan Yiming didn't have a good face for Gao Chong, and said coldly: "Lord Gao, what happened this time, I need you to give an explanation. β
"The emperor means to cut off a few heads?" Gao Chong was not deterred by Duan Yiming's momentum, and asked calmly.
"So, what do you think I'm going to do?" Duan Yiming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger, and asked lightly.
Gao Chong shook his head and said, "This matter has come to this point, and our side must indeed be a little rude. The foreign minister will naturally give His Majesty an explanation for this matter, and the foreign minister also knows His Majesty's difficulties, although His Majesty is generous, but he cannot but give an explanation to His Majesty. This is naturally understood, but Your Majesty should not be too mindful, after all, my Song Shicheng has lost two ladies, and now it has only smashed the two palace gates of your country, but you have taken advantage of it. With the character of my emperor, I already wanted to send troops to conquer Dali. If it weren't for the bitter admonition of the ministers, saying that this was Yang Fan's treacherous plan, if we were to conquer Dali, then it would make the relatives and enemies happy, and now the power of Song Shicheng has come to the city. Our Song Shicheng's combat strength is also known to His Majesty, when the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, he abandoned his armor, could it be that Dali is stronger than the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty? I hope that Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible on the matter of the secret discussion between the foreign ministers and His Majesty. My emperor is still waiting for news......"
Duan Yiming's face was red and white, his anger made his beard curle, his face had been pulled down, and his voice was very unfriendly, and he said: "Yue Shao'an is angry, I am still angry, I married my niece to him, not only did he not protect him, but in the end, it was my head to blame." Am I really afraid that he won't make it? β
Gao Chong bowed slightly, smiled, and said: "The emperor is naturally not afraid, but if Dali and the Great Song Dynasty really start a war, then they will only lose both, and who will benefit from it at that time?" Presumably, the emperor also knows it. β
"I can't get any benefits from Dali, can he Yue Shao'an be able to please him?" Duan Yiming said coldly.
Gao Chong saluted slightly, and said: "My emperor was a famous general at that time, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal to return to the emperor, and he will not be too difficult to think of it, but the fate of Dali can be imagined." That's all the ministers say, what Your Majesty thinks, it's not something that the ministers can intervene in. I will take my leave today, and Your Majesty will think about it......"
Gao Chong said that, and walked away, leaving only Duan Yiming, who was standing on the ground with an angry face. At the beginning, he wanted to let Yang Fan attack Song Shicheng in the past, if Song Shicheng was broken, then Yue Shao'an would definitely pursue and kill Yang Fan at any cost, and then several powerful armies of the Song family would be lost due to mutual conquest, so Dali would no longer have to be a vassal to the Song family, and even be able to enter the Central Plains and complete the great cause. However, the abacus is very loud, but it is a pity that people are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect that Song Shicheng was just a remnant of the army all the way to support Yue Shao'an's return. In the end, not only did he die of his niece, but Yang Fan also failed to catch Yue Shaoan, so that he lost all the games.
For the Great Song side, it was because he had already made enemies with Yue Shao'an at the beginning, and for the Song Shicheng side, he turned from an ally to an enemy because he deliberately let Yang Fan go. Now Yue Shao'an sent Gao Chong to settle accounts after the autumn, although Gao Chong's attitude has not been very good, and he has the intention of asking the teacher to ask for guilt. However, he can still accept the current situation. What he was most afraid of was that Yue Shao'an would ignore it and lead troops to attack Dali directly, and the consequences would be unimaginable at that time. In fact, this time, Yue Shaoan only asked him for 200,000 loads of grain, and he was able to agree to this condition. The reason why he has not been able to talk about it until now is, firstly, he had some doubts about Yue Shaoan's sincerity, and secondly, he didn't want to lose face and wanted to fight for some dignity to come back.
It's a pity that Yue Shao'an is really a bit of a deception, and the dignity he wants to fight for hasn't come back, and the palace gate has been bombed twice, if it weren't for his good cultivation, he would have already been thunderous at this moment. However, now such a result cannot be said to be completely unbeneficial, at least it makes him feel that Yue Shao'an really does not want to start a war with Song Shicheng.
In his current opinion, Yue Shao'an was angry with himself, and he couldn't go to war, so he had to do some sabotage. Thinking of this, the stuffiness in Duan Yiming's chest disappeared slightly. sighed lightly, and said in his heart, if you want food, give it to him, as long as Song Shicheng and the Great Song Dynasty start a war, the threat of Yue Shao'an will no longer be possible. Attacking the Song Dynasty, jokes, although the Great Song Dynasty has been unstable and the national strength has been lost due to years of conquest, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Great Song Dynasty seems to be weak, but how can it be so easy to attack it when it really sends troops.
If it's so simple, then Jin Ren and Xixia have already sent troops, can they still wait for you Yue Shao'an?
Gradually, Duan Yiming felt that he was very tired. Since the news of Duan Junzhu's death came, Duan Yixiong was not as close to him as before. Watching his only brother lose his head almost overnight because of his daughter's death, his heart was also uncomfortable. It's just that he thinks that he is not wrong, and he is also thinking about Dali's country. What could be wrong?
Gao Chongxing let out a long breath on the way to the palace gate, Yue Shao'an was right, Duan Yiming was really an old fox. After talking to him this day, if Yue Shao'an hadn't explained to him before he came, he would really be a little irresistible. However, Gao Chong recalled Yi Ming's attitude when he was leaving, and his heart settled down a lot. It seems that this time it should be a good mission.
In the middle of his thoughts, the palace gate was already close in front of him. As far as the eye can see, the palace gate has been blocked by people, and the torch shines here as bright as day. The Praetorian Guards and guards of the Dali Palace have surrounded Luo Hongmin and others. The two sides were tense, and the blades had collided together, but neither side dared to take the lead without hurting anyone. Because they all know that destroying the palace gate can still control the situation, if the two sides really fight, then who can control the situation? At the end of the day, it is likely to start a skirmish and start a war between the armies of both sides.
Gao Chong saw that the fire was almost over, and if he came again, it would probably burn too much, so he shouted categorically and said, "Stop it for me!" β
Gao Chong shouted down, and the noisy voices suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at Gao Chong. Some people in Dali recognized him as the one who bombarded the palace gate early in the morning. I didn't know if I should listen to him for a while. However, the people in Song Shicheng saw that it was noble, so they all put down the blades in their hands.
At this time, Duan Yiming, who had figured it out, was afraid that Gao Chong would not be able to control the people in Dali, so he also sent people to restrain the people on Dali's side. In this way, Gao Chong took Luo Hongmin and the others back to the post house in a mighty manner, and the majestic cannon of the culprit was dragged back again.
Back at the post house, Luo Hongmin, who was still angry just now, but Luo Hongmin, who had a messy beard, seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and sat on the chair speechless for a long time, cold sweat broke out.
Luo Hongmin is now nearly half a hundred years old, he has always been decent, and he has never done anything too out of the ordinary, even when he was a child, he didn't climb trees like other children. Today, he directly bombarded the gate of the palace, which was simply too exciting for him. It was already a little unbearable for him, and after a while, after Luo Hongmin's breath was a little even, he looked at Gao Chong with some concern, and said, "Lord Gao, did you do too much in this matter today?" Can Dali rest with us? Let's not talk about it for the time being, if we can't do what the emperor explained, and it hurts the emperor's big thing, how can it be good? β
Gao Chong looked at Luo Hongmin and was a little funny, but the old man was fighting hard today. It was really difficult for him to do such a thing, so he held back a smile and said, "Just leave it at that, it won't work." We have to save some face for Duan Yiming. Otherwise, the gate of the palace was bombarded twice, and if Emperor Dali swallowed his anger, it would be difficult to explain to these courtiers in Dali. β
Luo Hongmin's face changed, this kind of thing, if you give an explanation to the other party, then you have to cut off a few heads. Moreover, it can't be just a casual cut, just follow it, Gao Chong is Yue Shao'an's proud protΓ©gΓ©, and he treats him like a nephew, so naturally he won't use his head to explain to Dali. Then, the only person who can give an explanation is himself, the deputy envoy.
Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Luo Hongmin's forehead seemed to have suddenly retracted, and his whole face tightened. He didn't understand what Gao Chong meant by saying this, although he had already prepared for the worst in his heart, he still didn't want to give up hope, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Gao, the emperor's order to let us bombard the palace gate should be to embarrass Dali, if we give in like this, we will damage the majesty of Song Shicheng, will it go against the emperor's will?" β
Gao Chongda shook his head and said, "No." I understand Mr. Yue's personality, and he asked us to do this just to put pressure on Duan Yiming. As for those false names, Mr. Yue categorically wouldn't care. β
Luo Hongmin's face became even more ugly, and his voice stammered a little: "Tall, tall, that, you...... It means ......"
Gao Chong sat down on the chair next to Luo Hongmin, reached out and patted the back of Luo Hongmin's hand, and said, "Aren't I just about to discuss with the boss, I mean that this matter can only be wronged by you......
"Business, business...... Measure? Luo Hongmin's face suddenly turned to ashes, and his heart was cold, most of the people brought this time were Yue Shao'an's henchmen, and he was naturally obedient to Gao Chong, and it was easy to take his own life, what is the difference between this discussion and notification......
