Chapter Twenty-Seven: Grace Will Take Revenge
The cold light in Shaluo Khan's eyes became brighter and brighter with Lin Bai's words, he had dealt with the Qianchao for so many years, when did an envoy of the Qianchao dare to talk to him like this? Although he also knew in his heart that what Lin Bai said was the truth, but in the position of the Great Khan, he could not allow him to be so ridiculed by the envoys of the Qianchao, and his hand had slowly stretched out from his chest to his waist, where the steel scimitar that had drunk the blood of countless people was suspended.
Just when Sharo Khan was about to break out and Lin Bai stopped talking before he realized it, a young Turkic general sitting on the right hand side suddenly stood up, walked to Sharo Khan's side, quietly grabbed the hand that the Khan had pressed on the handle of the knife, and shouted at Lin Bai: "Stop your speech, this is not the court of your Qianchao people, but the golden tent of my Turkic Khan, tell me how your emperor plans to negotiate peace!" ”
"Yes, what's the use of talking about these useless things. Tell me whether your emperor is planning to cede the land or pay reparations. The Turks chimed in.
Lin Bai didn't realize the danger just now, he was already on the rise, and after listening to the words of the Turkic generals, he didn't rush to answer, but slowly sorted out his clothes, and said expressionlessly: "My emperor neither intends to cede the land, nor does he plan to pay compensation. ”
The young general's eyes were cold, and he preemptively said: "Don't think that if you are the envoy of the emperor of the Qianchao, we will not dare to kill you." Neither ceding the land nor paying compensation, so what did your emperor send you for? ”
"The envoy has already said just now, negotiate peace." Lin Bai has completely restored the imperial history style.
"What are you going to make peace with?" The young general gritted his teeth again and spoke.
Lin Bai said unhurriedly: "Open the market, trade exchanges." ”
Lin Bai's short eight words suddenly quieted the already boiling Turkic Khan's tent.
"Open the market and trade exchanges." Sharo Khan involuntarily recited along.
"Open the market and trade exchanges." The young general also read it along......

Li Guanqi left on the front foot, Zu Donglai had already received the news that the emperor went to the Xuanwu Lake military camp, and he didn't go to Shangshu Province in the past few days, so he went to ponder punctuation at home. On the surface, he is spending his days at home, but in fact, Li Guanqi's every move is still under his surveillance, and his eyeliner is everywhere in the house.
While eating lunch, Zu Donglai was still thinking about what Li Guanqi meant to him when he went to the barracks, so much so that he put the chopsticks in his mouth and chewed them without holding anything in his mouth. He had to be cautious, the master sitting on the dragon chair now behaved very emperorly scheming for a while, and behaved like an ignorant child for a while, but no matter what, as long as the emperor has no military power in his hands, he doesn't have to be afraid, and now the emperor suddenly went to the barracks, which is not a good sign, and he has to quickly call someone to discuss countermeasures.
He only cared about calculating others, and he didn't think that if he didn't have a rebellious heart, why should he care about what the emperor did?
Soon after dark, a sedan chair carried by two people flickered to the door of Zu Donglai's mansion, and a middle-aged man with a pedantic appearance got down from the sedan chair, and a person who looked like a housekeeper came up and said to the gentleman: "Lord Cao, why did you arrive so late, waiting for you." This side please. ”
This person dressed as a pedant is none other than Cao Yuanshan, the left attendant of the ministry, who is a military and advisor-level figure of Zu Donglai's interest group.
In the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zu Donglai waved his hand at Cao Yuanshan, who was about to salute, and said, "Don't salute, I'm waiting for you." ”
Cao Yuanshan found that the room was already full of people, including Yao Biguang, the head of the Zhongshu Academy, Zu Tianyi, the general of the Yulin Guard, Lu Renjia, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Long Tao, the Qing of Taichang Temple, Yin Cheng of Yingtianfu, Fan Jian, the leader of the imperial guards, and all the cronies who dared to love Zu Donglai.
Cao Yuanshan is such a smart master, he immediately knew that something big had happened, and he usually didn't get together so much even in the last dynasty. But he wasn't in a hurry to ask, because he knew someone would take the initiative to tell him.
Sure enough, as soon as Cao Yuanshan sat down, Zu Donglai's son Zu Tianyi went straight to him and asked, "The one in the palace went to Xuanwu Lake to guard today, what do you think of this?" ”
Cao Yuanshan held the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said, "Who is that in the palace?" ”
"Why do you want to ask that, when you know that?" Zu Tian flicked his sleeves one by one and said.
"The lower officials really don't know." Cao Yuanshan had an innocent expression on his face.
Fan Jian saw that Cao Yuanshan was still pretending to be stupid there, and he was also a little annoyed that he was pretending to be deep, so he said angrily: "Gongzi is talking about the emperor." ”
"Emperor?" Cao Yuanshan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid this title is not for everyone, right?" ”
Zu Donglai understood that Cao Yuanshan was waiting for his statement, and on the premise of not knowing his own thoughts, this fox would not say a nutritious word, so he deliberately coughed twice and said: "It rained for a day today, and the weather is relatively cold." I ran half of the capital in the rain, how would it be good if I got gonorrhea. Hey, think about it, the old man helped the baby onto the dragon chair with one hand, it's really not worry-free. ”
A sentence of "baby" came out, and everyone present changed their faces, and even Cao Yuanshan's eyebrows twitched again and again. Zu Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief, he has always advocated abolishing Li Guanqi, but because Zu Donglai did not express his position for a long time, he had no choice, and now that his father said "baby", he understood that the matter had been decided, and the next thing was what to do.
Cao Yuanshan knew that since he had already gotten on Zu Donglai's boat, he could only follow it all the time, and now that Zu Donglai had already expressed his attitude, he should do his best to make suggestions for him, so he put the tea bowl down and said, "Xiangye actually doesn't have to worry so much. If the lower officials expected it to be true, the person in the palace who has to worry about things is several times more than you. ”
Zu Donglai heard Cao Yuanshan's words, and his eyes couldn't help but flash, but after all, he was an old man in Huanhai, although he was eager in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, just kept silent and listened attentively.
Cao Yuanshan continued: "As Xiang Ye worried, the emperor should have regarded you as a thorn in his side, and when the time is ripe, he will definitely attack you." ”
Zu Tianyi couldn't hold back at first, and asked anxiously: "My father ensured him to ascend the dragon throne, why did he want to take revenge?" ”
