Chapter 267: Utilitarian Bargaining

I can't stand it, ask for subscription support, these days have been constantly improving the quality and update speed.

Admittedly, perhaps the bones substituted their feelings for the Ming Dynasty into the protagonist, making the characters look very awkward, and there is a "servile" nature everywhere, as readers often point out in the book review area, how can a modern person be loyal to the ancient emperor, is this still a modern person?

At this point, Bones doesn't want to explain too much about why it's portrayed the way it is, but I just want to tell my readers that Bones is trying to describe a painstaking process of transformation.

We are all ordinary people, and the traversers are also ordinary people, perhaps, we will all fantasize about the pleasure of being the king and dominating the world, but we should not forget the loyalty of thousands of years.

Because of loyalty, our nation has survived to this day; Because of loyalty, our history will be incomparably brilliant.

Travelers, while trying to change the times, should at least not abandon the essence of our nation - loyalty.

Of course, bones are not made behind closed doors, bones also need valuable feedback from readers, you can not subscribe to support bones, but if you are reading a book about bones, I hope you can raise your grievances.

I already know how satisfied you areβ€”because you're reading my book.

Bones doesn't want to change the reader's perception of history, nor does he want to impose his own thoughts on the reader, what Bones does is conceive a novel, a novel that wants to express something. Perhaps, due to the limited pen power, the words written by the bones are not so full and not so satisfying, but the bones are doing their best, thinking as much as they can, and writing as much as they can.

It should also be noted that almost all of the stories described in the chapters up to this point, especially those related to the war, have been recreated in the original historical version.

Shi Dayong's trip to the Ming Dynasty was not constructed out of thin air, and there were too many prototypes on his body.

In order to write this story of loyalty to more people, Bones hopes that everyone can support Bones with subscriptions. Bones can clearly tell readers - "Daming Wolf Ride" is definitely a cooler novel than "Evil Slave".

The merit is in the community?!

Gao Qi was moved, but he still didn't dare to agree to it, the fake holy decree was going to lose his head, even if the appeasement was successful, according to the temperament of the emperor today, you must know that he Gao Qi dared to carry the emperor's false holy decree, afraid that the first one would cut off his head.

Chongzhen is not the apocalypse, this younger brother is not the elder brother, the momentum of the inner court has long been inferior to the previous dynasty, not only the inner court is restrained by each other, the outer court is even more pressed to the inner court, only from the east factory was weakened to only an empty shell, you can see how much the outer court's suspicion and suppression of the inner court.

Chongzhen supervised his subordinates too strictly, but if he was found to have fornicated with foreign countries or was suspected of interfering in politics, he was immediately severely punished. If you kill your head at the worst, you will be beaten half to death, and you won't protect these house slaves at all. Therefore, even if he gave Gao Qi ten more dares, he would never dare to do this false deception of the king. Although he is favored by Chongzhen, he still understands what can and cannot be touched.

It is true that if he can successfully appease Kong Youde, he will naturally be a credit to the Ming Dynasty, and he will also soar and become the first person in the inner court, but if he risks losing his head, it is definitely not cost-effective.

Could it be that Liu Yulie has been calculating for so long, and he is still calculating when he arrives? If our family refuses to agree to falsely pass on the holy decree to coax Xie Lian, will it be difficult to continue this matter? If it weren't for the two victories of Shahe and Xiaoguantun, I am afraid that the emperor would have transferred me back to Beijing a long time ago, how could I have waited and watched in Xiaoguantun.

I thought that I could collect people's soldiers without moving and achieve great achievements, but I never thought that this was the case, Liu Yulie, you have harmed our family a lot! You are going to push our family into the fire pit, and your face slowly became gloomy.

Qu Yiyang saw Gao Qiqian's demeanor in his heart, and he was also secretly anxious, if Gao Qiqian was unwilling to cooperate with the false holy decree, the trip to Laizhou would not be successful, and it would be useless to go, without the emperor's will, Xie Lian and the others would not pay attention to any appeasement at all.

In a hurry, he suddenly thought of a method, and hurriedly said: "If the father-in-law is unwilling to do this false transmission of the holy decree, then the lower official also has a method, this method can not only make Xie Lian bow his head and obey the order, open the matter, but also let the father-in-law stay out of the matter, that is, after the fact, the father-in-law can also be said to be ignorant, and the matter is completely his own opinion." ”

"Oh?" Hearing that there was a way to stay out of the matter, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but twitch his cheeks, and blurted out, "What way?" His eyes stared straight at Qu Yiyang, and his heart was indescribably hot.

Qu Yiyang was still unhurried and said: "Father-in-law can send his two little fathers-in-law to accompany the officials to Laizhou, and if there are people in the palace to go with them, Xie Lian will not suspect it." When the official talks to him about restarting the appeasement, he knows so much that Xie Lian will definitely agree. As long as he agrees to come forward, this appeasement will be completed. ”

"It's not impossible to send two people to Laizhou with you, it's just that" Gao Qiqian calculated, there is no big problem in sending two people to Laizhou City, and there should be no problem if you successfully trick Xie Lian into opening the matter, no matter whether this thing is successful or not, you can stay out of it, anyway, there is no black and white word, but

Gao Qiqian's brows furrowed, and he said in a muffled voice: "If Kong Youde still refuses to surrender, then how to deal with this matter?" ”

"Although this father-in-law is relieved, Kong Youde has to descend this time if he does not fall. The father-in-law led the troops to the Kesha River, Xiaoguantun, the rebels lost a lot of losses, and the long-term siege of Laizhou can not be, it has long been the end of the strong crossbow, and now the father-in-law has gathered heavy troops here, after a few days, Lord Liu will serve as the governor again, leading the Shenji battalion of 8,000 elite soldiers, fifteen Hongyi cannons, sixty bronze cannons arrived, when our officers and soldiers are strong and strong, he Kong Youde under a group of rabble can be worthy of a blow to our Korean army! β€œ

While relieving Gao Qidive, Qu Yiyang did not forget to pat the other party's ass. "The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, Kong Youde is not a fool, he rebelled in Wuqiao that day was only forced for a while, and he didn't really want to rebel. Now the situation is clear, the court is full of heavy troops, and he won't be making trouble for long. Therefore, in the eyes of Xia Guan, this matter will definitely be successful. Because this is Kong Youde's most stubborn way to live, if he is stubborn, he can only kill himself. This smart man doesn't do anything! ”

Qu Yiyang struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Father-in-law doesn't have to worry about committing the crime of bullying the king, father-in-law just sent two people to follow the officials into Laizhou City, what is it doing, outsiders have no way of knowing, but there are father-in-law's people to go, but Xie Lian doesn't believe it." As long as the matter is done, the father-in-law will naturally be able to return to Beijing in triumph, and who will come to find out if he is bored. ”

"This matter is a big matter, let our family think about it, think about it" Gao Qiqian is actually very tempted, sending two eunuchs to pretend to be angels, there is no real crime for him, it is much less risky than falsely preaching the holy decree. But he still hesitated, and he couldn't decide whether to send someone or not.

Bai Shangyi was also thinking about it on the side, but he couldn't think of anything after thinking about it, so he could only keep his ears up and listen to how Gonggong Gao made a decision.

It's all said and done, what else is there to think about, if you think about it again, this great achievement will fly away.

Qu Yiyang, who was bent on pointing at the success of appeasement, saw that Gao Qiqian still refused to decide, and knew that it would be impossible to force this eunuch, so he coughed lightly and said: "Since the father-in-law can't make a decision immediately, it's not good for the lower officials to say anything." But when he came, Lord Liu wanted to send a message to his father-in-law. β€œ

"What?" Gao Qiqian raised his head.

Qu Yiyang was a little weak-hearted, his face lowered slightly, avoiding the gaze of Gao Qiqian, and said: "Lord Liu said that if my father-in-law does not return to Beijing immediately, Zhou Xiang will not have a good life." If Zhou is unstable, the father-in-law's life in the inner court is also not easy. After speaking, the eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart.

"Liu Yulie, is this going to threaten our family!"

Gao Qiqian was furious when he heard this, and looked at Qu Yiyang with a blue face, but knowing that the other party wanted to threaten him, he was helpless, and this was indeed the case. Half of his status today is valued by the emperor, and the other half is thanks to Zhou Yanru's blessing. If it weren't for the help of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, how could he have jumped from a small young eunuch to a celebrant and a eunuch in just a few years.

Now that Zhou Yanru has stepped down, Wen Tiren has become the first assistant, and he has never had a friendship with Wen Tiren, and to some extent, he is even Wen Tiren's enemy. Now Wen Tiren in Beijing is chasing Zhou Yanru and fighting hard, and he has already made a storm in the city, and he is entrusted with the blessing of leading the army outside, otherwise, I am afraid that Wen Tiren has already been bitten.

The allies of the outer dynasty fell, and the only ally of the inner court was Wang Dehua, the real first person in the inner court, Wang Chengen, who was the real first person in the inner court, had always been lukewarm to himself, and Cao Huachun, the commander of the East Factory, regarded himself as a thorn in his side, and was bent on overthrowing himself and replacing him.

In the past, Zhou Yanru was in Taiwan, and he was favored by the emperor, so there was no way for teachers and students to take care of themselves. Now that Zhou Yanru has stepped down, Gao Qiqian has lost the help of foreign dynasties, and Wang Dehua, who only has an empty palm print, cannot compete with Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, the two teachers and students. (Author's note: Wang Chengen, under the name of Cao Huachun, most of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were teachers and students, that is, new eunuchs must choose a eunuch to worship when entering the palace, and regard themselves as students or righteous sons.) οΌ‰

"Lord Liu is dedicated to the court, and also for the sake of Zhou Xiang and his father-in-law, please make a decision as soon as possible." Qu Yiyang reversed his previous respectful appearance, neither humble nor arrogant, which made Gao Qiqian a little uncomfortable.

After staring at the other party for a while, the corners of Gao Qiqian's mouth grinned, revealing a smile, and nodded approvingly: "Lord Qu seems to have come prepared, our family believes you!" Our family will send you two people, but the ugly words of our family are ahead, our family can only wait for another ten days, and after ten days, if Kong Youde still does not accept the appeasement, our family will send troops if they say anything. ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry! Within three days, there will be good news from the lower officials! ”

Qu Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief, and after coming out of the high tent, he was greeted by a cold wind, but it blew his spirits up, and he let out a sigh of relief from the sky, and looked to the northeast, his eyes full of longing.

In the tent, Bai Shangyi was very worried and said to Gao Qiqian: "Father-in-law, can this surnamed Qu get things done?" ”

Gao Qiqian said lightly: "Liu Yulie can send him, naturally he can trust him." ”

Bai Shangyi pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but after a while, he said in a weird way: "Father-in-law, in fact, the slave maid looks at this surname Qu unpleasantly, and he is very rude to his father-in-law." ”

"It's okay, but I think very highly of myself and want to take the opportunity to make a name for myself in the world." Gao Qiqian sneered, "This generation has been pressed for a long time, and if you have the opportunity to jump regardless of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Liu Yulie is afraid that he also takes a fancy to him, so he is called here." Hmph, when the matter is completed, our family will have to settle this account with Liu Shilang. ”

"Liu Yulie is just a dog under Zhou Yanru, now that the owner has fallen, his dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, according to the slave maid, the father-in-law should not have listened to him in the first place, and he ordered the army to kill and run over, this Laizhou has long been in the bag." Bai Shangyi was indignant and a little unwilling.

Gao Qiqian glared at him and scolded, "What do you know? Is marching and fighting a war child's play? If the rebels are really so easy to fight, why should our family listen to him Liu Yulie. ”

"The father-in-law is angry, and the slave and maid are speechless." Bai Shangyi was panicked and did not plead guilty.

Gao Qiqian was a little upset, waved him out, moved a chair and sat in front of the charcoal basin, bowing his head and not knowing what to think.

The charcoal fire in the basin burned very strongly, and it was red, and it made people's faces a little hot. Outside the tent, I couldn't see my fingers, the north wind was blowing, and the air was so cold that people shivered.

In the camp, except for a few patrols that passed by from time to time, there was no one to be seen. All the tents were quiet, and there was no sound at all. Even if there is any movement, it quickly disappears.

The tent of Lin Jiantai, the commander of the Jingying camp more than a mile away from the Yongwei camp where Gao Qiqian was located, was extremely lively. If you get closer, you can clearly hear the sound of bargaining inside.

"Ten thousand taels, below this number, there is nothing the official can do."
