Chapter 598: The Covenant
Han Mo frowned slightly, Jin Lanhua and the guy holding the copper plate in his hand were all terrified when they saw their young master actually slapping their face
Fortunately, the golden orchid is the owner of the bright face of the Liufang Pavilion, and he is also a veteran in the Fengyue field, and he is best at observing words and feelings, and at this time he knows very well that he should not continue to stay here, so he turned around and glanced at the guy behind him, and left in a hurry with the guy, and closed the door with his hand
Han Mo sighed, groaned, and returned to his seat to sit down
Lu Zongxuan's face became solemn, he no longer had the previous smile, walked in front of Han Mo, and said in a low voice: "Little Lord Han, I, Lu Zongxuan, will not hide it from you, tonight's matter is ordered by my father, and the purpose is very simple, my father doesn't want our Lu family to be involved in the relationship with your Han family, since you have a favor, we need to repay this kindness as soon as possible, and there can be no grievances involving the relationship between the two families."
Han Mo smiled at this time, "Master Lu, you should have said this a long time ago, not only did I not mind in my heart, but I felt that you were real, this is the words that dig out your heart."
"Let Lord Xiao Han smile" Lu Zongxuan sighed and sat down next to him: "My lord should also know that the yamen where my father is located, it is unusual that no one seems to pay attention to the little yamen who guards the door on weekdays, but we know for ourselves how many pairs of eyes are staring at this yamen, and I don't know how many people want to replace it" Speaking of this, Lu Zongxuan arched his hand upwards: "Shengshang Longen, he trusts his father, it is Longen's favor, so that his father stays in this position for six years without moving, our Lu family is naturally loyal to the saint, and we dare not have the slightest sloppiness." ”
Han Mo frowned slightly, what Lu Zongxuan said at this time, that was the truth
Lu Zongxuan looked at Han Mo and said in a low voice: "Actually, Lord Xiao Han also knows that the eyes of the saint are also staring at his father all the time...... If the saint knows that his father has too many contacts in Beijing, it will not be a good thing for our Lu family" Speaking of this, he said with a wry smile: "Lord Xiaohan, over the years, my Lu family has offended a lot of people, if you come down from this position, our Lu family is only afraid of ......" He didn't continue, just shook his head with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness
"It's hard to ride a tiger," Han Mo gently spit out four words from his mouth
Lu Zongxuan nodded and said: "That's right" and said: "Two days ago, I received a post from your lady and invited Zongxuan and his wife to the mansion for a banquet...... I can't help myself, in order not to let people gossip, Zong Xuan can only excuse himself and fail to go to the banquet Even tonight, I only dare to invite Lord Xiao Han to come here to meet, I don't want others to know, even Yao Jing and Brother Yao are hiding it, and now I think about it, I am really ashamed."
Han Mo shook his head and smiled: "I don't agree with Lu Gongzi's words, in fact, Han Mo has always thought that the courage of the horseman, the three-step bright sword, although the spirit of the heart shows his majesty, but if the overall situation is damaged, then the courage of the horseman can only be regarded as stupid, I have always thought that lying on the salary and tasting the courage, enduring what others can't bear, that is the real hero, in fact, Han Mo admires Admiral Lu very much in his heart."
Lu Zongxuan smiled bitterly: "Lord Xiao Han said that he was laughing."
Han Mo stared at Lu Zongxuan and said with a faint smile: "Lu Gongzi invited me here, just to thank me But Han Mo said at the beginning that my original intention was not to help anyone, but that I was willing to do this and follow my temperament" After a pause, he continued: "So you don't have to think too much, you don't have to be grateful to me."
Lu Zongxuan seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything after all
Han Mo stood up and said with a smile: "I'm tired today, Lu Gongzi is only afraid that there are still many things, so I won't bother" Without saying much, he went out
Lu Zongxuan looked at the back of Han Mo leaving, thoughtfully, and finally shook his head slightly
……
……
The brawl on the banks of the Liujing River has naturally become a topic of discussion in private these days
Han Mo thought that he was messing around on the banks of the Liujing River like this, if Han Xuanchang knew, he would definitely reprimand him, but Han Xuanchang only said "nonsense" in the end, and he didn't reprimand too much
What the DPRK and China are most concerned about at present is, after all, the reaction of the Kyungguk side
Ten days later, the Qingguo side finally sent another team of envoys over, and what they brought was naturally the attitude of the Qingguo side towards the discussion of peace and affinity
As most people expected, the people of Qingguo were very happy about the sincerity expressed by Yan Guo, and they quickly reacted positively to the capital
The alliance with Yan Guo was in line with the interests of Qingguo, and Yan Guo took the initiative to show great sincerity, which made the Hou Party in Shangjing no longer have a reason to oppose the alliance between the two countries on the surface
Although the Hou Party still intervened in the affairs of peace and pro-family, in the end, Qingguo still offered extremely generous conditions to respond to the sincerity of the Yan people, and the second batch of Qingguo envoys brought Qingguo's country, which naturally listed in detail the sincerity that Qingguo was willing to show
In fact, the two sides had an alliance many years ago, so this alliance is not an unfamiliar matter for the two countries
On the Yan side, Han Xuandao of the household department took Han Xuandao as the leader, and began to negotiate with the Qingguo delegation represented by the prince of Xihe
These two figures are both staunch supporters of the Yanqing alliance, so although the two sides still have some contradictions in some details, under the mediation of these two main officials who presided over the consultation, the entire consultation process can be regarded as extremely smooth
After only five days of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached, Qingguo gave Yan 50,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver, and 200,000 horses of silk, and handed over eight large copper mines near Wu County in Wuping County, Qingguo, for a period of ten years, and some other conditions
What Yan Guo wants to do is naturally to send Princess Yan Guoshuang to Qingguo as soon as possible to marry the prince of Qingguo, and Qingguo has guaranteed that after the marriage, Princess Shuang will be canonized as the crown princess of Qingguo as soon as possible
The ultimate goal of the alliance between the two sides is naturally that Yan State will ensure the tranquility of the rear of Qing State, Yan State will guarantee that there will be no military alliance with Wei State, and during the war, Yan State must also guarantee that there will be no political contact with Wei State
In addition, the Qingguo side also demanded that once the Nanyang County of Qingguo was captured by the Wei soldiers, then it was necessary for the Yan State to mobilize troops to deploy troops in the line of Nanyang County of Qingguo and Linyang County of Yan State, so as to effectively contain Wei
The Yan side was naturally reluctant to send troops, and the discussion of containment also led to differences at the beginning, but later the two sides coordinated together, and the Qingguo side added two silver mines to the Yan side for mining, and finally reached a final alliance agreement
On the eighth day of the seventh month of the ninth year of Pingguang in Yanli, the two sides officially submitted the country in the Honglu Temple, and also officially announced that Yanqing had formed an alliance
The news spread all over the world, except for those who wanted to use the war to soar, the entire Yan country was extremely satisfied with this result, at least for the people who came, there was no need to directly participate in this war, which was a fortunate thing
Therefore, the people began to discuss again, in order to avoid war, the Holy Lord would rather marry Her Royal Highness the princess to the crown prince of Qingguo, which is really a generous and benevolent king
This is different from what many people think
In the eyes of many people, they thought it was a very cowardly decision, but most of the news spread among the people was praising the emperor's wisdom, and I am afraid that many people did not expect such a result
After the Qingguo delegation was handed over to the country, under the leadership of the prince of Xihe, he returned to Shangjing, but he left behind Yun Canglan, the deputy envoy of Qingguo, and ten tiger warriors
According to the meaning of Qingguo, Yun Canglan and these ten tiger warriors will accompany Yan Guo's family envoy to escort Princess Yan Guoshuang to Qingguo, this proposal, Yan Guo naturally did not refuse
In fact, Yun Canglan's stay also shows that Qingguo hopes that Yan Guo will not delay in the matter of peace and relatives, and will send a peace mission to Qingguo as soon as possible
His Majesty the Emperor also made a will, and the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites coordinated to prepare for the envoy, Yan is a big country, this envoy, and it is to send the princess and relatives, so it is natural to put on a full show
Moreover, the palace has selected twenty eunuchs and twenty palace maids, all of whom are the personal attendants of Princess Shuang, and they will marry to Qingguo together, in other words, these forty people will be Princess Shuang's descendants in Qingguo in the future
Jingzhong was in charge of the affairs of the envoy of the Heqin Mission, and Han Mo was naturally very clear
Since meeting with Princess Xiu that rainy night, the two have not seen each other again, but Han Mo remembered the rather strange words of Princess Xiu that day, and always felt that Princess Xiu seemed to have some plans, but he didn't make it clear
Now that Princess Xiu is about to go abroad, Han Mo's heart is also very gloomy
However, less than ten days after the group fight in Liufang Pavilion that day, I heard a news that the money shop on the bank of the Liujing River suddenly caught fire one night
The fire burned very vigorously, and there were a lot of fire points, and the money shop that was making money every day was burned all under this fire, and even the pond fish were affected, and the two buildings next to it also suffered
It is said that in the money shop, some of the people who didn't have time to run in their sleep were buried alive in the sea of fire, and later the officials of the Yanjing Mansion counted the fire and brought out four bodies that were burned into black charcoal, all of which were dancing girls in the money shop
After Han Mo heard the news, he immediately understood that it was not someone else who did it, it was □□□ out of ten that it was Young Master Xiao who had a grudge against Qian Fang
This Young Master Xiao was really fierce, and after that day, he was thinking about what he couldn't do to Han Mo, so he planned to deal with the Money Fang, and finally came to a big show of burning the Money Fang
Speaking of which, there are really not many people who think of the cause of the fire on Xiao Mingtang's body, after all, Han Mo sowed discord that night, but no one else knew, so Xiao Mingtang is right, and not many people know it
The Yanjing Mansion investigated the cause of the fire, but in the end it only came to the conclusion that there was a fire inside the money shop, and did not continue the investigation
Han Mo immediately sent the dark officials of the West Flower Hall to keep an eye on several important members who escaped from the fire in the Money Room, such as Jin Xiaofo and Yang Laoliu, who all sent people to closely watch their movements
In addition, it is natural to bury eyeliner outside the Xuande Palace, and pay attention to Mrs. Huaqing's movements at any time
The money shop was burned down, in addition to those people in the money shop, the most angry was naturally Han Bin, the third elder of the Han family, he was in the money shop these days, and he was able to see Mrs. Huaqing from time to time, and even said something, for him, this is already an extremely happy thing, the money shop was burned, and there was no stronghold, and there was no chance to see Mrs. Huaqing again
He was both angry and helpless, couldn't he go to Xuande Wangfu to find Mrs. Huaqing?
So in the days after the money shop was burned, he stayed in the house honestly, but no one was seen
