And the power that is really in the hands of the Duan clan is only forty percent, in the hands of the Gao clan there is thirty percent, and the rest is scattered in the hands of the chiefs of various tribes.

Twenty percent of the twenty or thirty thousand base was left for Duan Sicong, which was less than half of the original, but if you were specific to the number, there were about 5,000 people.

Compared with perdition, this condition is not unacceptable, after all, after the war, even these two percent, must be wishful thinking.

But this is just Xu Shiming's judgment, not Duan Sicong's idea.

To turn Xu Shiming's judgment into Duan Sicong's thoughts, this is the task that Xu Shiming wants to complete.

Xu Shiming opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister implores the emperor for two things. ”

Baili Wuji said: "Xu Xiang, please speak." ”

Xu Shiming said: "Please make an order from the emperor to order me to send an envoy to Dali." ”

Baili Wuji was stunned for a moment, and persuaded: "Dali is currently in turmoil, and Xu Xiang is the pillar of the Ming Kingdom, how can he go to danger?" The matter will be discussed again. ”

Discuss again? That is, it is not discussed, or it is shelved.

How could Xu Shiming not know?

He hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the military intelligence institute Xu Yuanling and Baili Du command envoys are all in Dali, how can it be dangerous for the ministers to send envoys to Dali?" Being able to peacefully resolve the affairs of Dali is also for the sake of the interests of the Ming Kingdom, so that the people of the Ming Kingdom do not have to shed blood for no reason. ”

Baili Wuji thought for a long time, knowing that what Xu Shiming said was reasonable, he nodded and admonished: "So it will be hard Xu Xiang, but Xu Xiang must not be forced, nothing can be done, turn around quickly, and the Ming Kingdom cannot be without Xu Xiang." ”

Xu Shiming bowed his head and thanked: "Your Majesty Xie cares." Remember. ”

Baili Wuji waved his hand lightly and said, "Xu Xiang will talk about the second thing." ”

Xu Shiming said: "The minister sent an envoy to Dali to persuade Duan Sicong to agree that the officials of Dali should be appointed by the Ming court, and Dali has already sent an envoy to Jinling. It's just that the road is unexpected, and the whole group is gone, only Princess Foyin is lucky to arrive in Jinling Mansion. And Princess Foyin was given full power by Duan Sicong this time, and Princess Foyin herself also has considerable prestige in Dali, so the minister implored the emperor to summon Princess Foyin and meet with her. persuade him to agree to the appointment of Dali officials by the Ming court. In this way, with a two-pronged approach, the minister thinks that there will be something to do. ”

Baili Wuji heard it. Xu Shiming still kicked this problem to himself.

In fact, if Princess Foyin was just to be her own concubine, Baili Wuji would not refuse so resolutely, even if it was not her own dish. There is no shortage of strength to support a concubine in the palace of the Ming Kingdom.

But Baili Wuji knows. Princess Foyin's harmony is obviously political, this is an exchange of interests, exchanging a woman for the real power of Dali State, this kind of loss-making business, Baili Wuji will never be willing to do it.

In the final analysis, Baili Wuji still thinks that Princess Foyin is not worth the price.

Perhaps, in Baili Wuji's heart, there are few women in this world who can be compared with Jiangshan Sheji.

If there is. That is the person he cares about in his heart - Lu Shiyun.

Baili Wuji didn't want to think about it anymore, which only added to his troubles. He said to Xu Shiming: "I will consider meeting Princess Foyin." ”

Xu Shiming saw that Baili Wuji should respond, so he said goodbye: "In this way, the minister will prepare to go to Dali on the same day, and ask the emperor to be merciful and leave a way for this group of old ministers." ”

Baili Wuji looked at Xu Shiming, he knew that Xu Shiming was also difficult, too many people begged Xu Shiming for his maintenance, that is to say, Xu Shiming acted as a shield for himself to keep these people out of Xu Shiming.

Of course, it is undeniable that there are Xu Shiming's interests in this, but at least, Xu Shiming is not on the wrong side.

As long as the position is correct, Baili Wuji can treat some things as not seeing, and can also treat some things that he has heard as not hearing.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and people are always people.

This is a truism.

Even if it is Baili Wuji himself, he is just a mortal fetus.

It is undoubtedly a fantasy to let a mortal flesh fetus have no mistakes, no trace of seven emotions and six desires.

Then it is no longer a man, but a god.

God doesn't have to eat, sleep, or even breathe.

Therefore, people in this world worship God, but none of them want to become God.

Gao Rongrong also didn't want to be a god, especially a goddess.

She can play a graceful and luxurious role as a mother of the country, but she only hopes to have a child of her own.

God does not give birth to children.

Therefore, Gao Rongrong is a human, a normal person.

Therefore, she couldn't refuse Duan Foyin's proposal.

She was only two years younger than Baili Wuji, and she no longer had hope for her own fertility, and Duan Foyin's proposal was undoubtedly the best way for Gao Rong to work to achieve her wish.

Only a child who is unscrupulous can not be rejected by Gao Rongrong and accept it with peace of mind.

And the other queen and second concubines in the palace refused to pass the child to her no matter what.

Obviously, Baili Wuji is not a person who is obsessed with women, maybe if she misses this time, she will never be able to fulfill her dream again.

Gao Rongrong misses Lu Shiyun a little, if she is here, with her personality and bearing, she may pass one of her children to her door.

Unfortunately, she disappeared like air, and everyone suspected that they had driven her away.

But Gao Rongrong knew in her heart that not only did she not drive her, but persuaded her to enter the palace.

Gao Rongrong was like a man in the water grasping the last straw, unable to give up Duan Foyin's proposal.

In fact, Gao Rongrong knew when she heard Duan Foyin's proposal that Duan Foyin must have a plan.

Gao Rongrong's IQ is by no means lower than Duan Foyin, but Gao Rongrong knows how to hide clumsiness.

She understands that a woman who is too smart can only win the respect of men.

And obviously women are not used to be respected by men, but to be loved and pitied.

Everything was just as Feng Dao expected, Gao Rongrong finally agreed to Duan Foyin's proposal.

Everyone has interests and demands, some want money, some want power, and Gao Rongrong wants family affection.

But there was one thing that Feng Dao could not predict, that is, Xu Shiming presented his letter to Baili Wuji, and persuaded Baili Wuji to summon Duan Foyin for a meeting.

When Gao Rongrong had not yet come to the letter to find Baili Wuji for Duan Foyin's entry into the palace, Baili Wuji had already issued an order to summon Duan Foyin and see him in the imperial study.

This is completely different from Gao Rongrong's statement.

Because Gao Rongrong said that Xiang was out of the emperor's backyard family affairs, and Baili Wuji publicly summoned Duan Foyin to see him, that was a state affair.

Although the emperor has no selfish affairs, but when he ordered to summon Duan Foyin, Gao Rongrong could not talk to Baili Wuji first, and could only lobby Baili Wuji after being summoned.

The emperor summoned it, which was a special honor, and there were hundreds of thousands of officials in the Ming Kingdom, and less than one percent of them could see the emperor's holy face. (To be continued......)
