Chapter 443: Bargaining from the Dragon
Mao Riwu resolved the dispute between Cheng Haofeng and Zacuo as quickly as he could, because he wanted to fight for the greatest rights and interests in the next layout, so after the matter was decided, he would take them to his study in the maze to discuss matters.
Zha Tso immediately objected: "I have a special physical condition, I can't leave this room, and I will be able to transform into a human form when the moon rises in the middle of the sky on the fifteenth day of the next month, and I will discuss it when the time comes." ”
"Before you completely fused the Peacock King's bloodline, you could only transform for three hours a month, are we waiting for your three hours to delay the timing of the big event?" The ghost king denied Zha Cuo's proposal, and Mao Riwu and Cheng Haofeng did not speak, but their eyes clearly agreed with the ghost king's statement.
Seeing that Zha Cuo refused to retreat, Mao Riwu was a little anxious in his heart, he tried his best to gain the initiative in the deliberations, and he could not let these disputes make him passive.
In order to appease Zhatso, Mao Riwu said frankly: "Several of us are all advocating that King Shenjun succeed to the throne, even if there are differences, the differences are not too big. Last God, what rights do you want to get first? You and I have a close relationship, and I will try to make sure you get all the benefits. ”
Zha Cuo sighed a few times in annoyance, and then said: "The first one is, of course, consistent with Master Mao's thoughts, after King Shenjun ascends the throne, he will get along with Fanbang and become a brotherly state. ”
Zha Cuo's mother was originally from Fanbang, and he has lived in Fanbang for many years, so he and Mao Riwu are indeed the same in this regard.
"Article 2 urges France and the DPRK to reach an alliance with the state on the full opening of treaty ports and trade parity. And strongly suggested that the emperor of the French dynasty and the king of our state should leave the trade between the two countries to Master Mao. ”
What Mao Riwu wanted was economic power, and he also wanted to use the economy to control greater power, so as to encroach on the national strength of the French dynasty little by little. Zacuo doesn't attach much importance to these secular powers, and now he needs Mao Riwu to provide him with cultivation conditions, of course, he is biased towards what Mao Riwu wants.
"In the third article, the Emperor of the French Dynasty and the King of Fanbang shall establish the city of Shafu as a neutral place of non-interference in official writing. The city of sand is now a sand lake, which is not important to either country, but it is a very important place for me. ”
This is what Zacuo wants the most, as long as he can succeed in cultivation, and then have the city of sand as a stronghold, everything he wants has the necessary conditions to obtain.
Cheng Haofeng would not agree to these requests, but he did not immediately refute them. When Zha Cuo said this to Mao Riwu, he was entrusting the right to negotiate to Mao Riwu, and as long as he fought with Mao Riwu on the basis of reason during the direct negotiation.
Mao Riwu once again promised Zacuo that he would fight for the rights he wanted, and then took his leave. Cheng Haofeng and the Ghost King also left, and Cai Que followed them cautiously.
When he went down to the seventh floor, the ghost king Su Se said, "Master Mao, how about discussing in my room?" ”
Cheng Haofeng immediately agreed to the ghost king's proposal, Mao Riwu had too many advantages, this maze was originally his territory, if he went to his study in the maze to negotiate, it would undoubtedly give Mao Riwu an advantage again.
Mao Riwu raised his eyebrows slightly in dissatisfaction, the ghost king's face was no longer so serious, and he smiled and said, "My room is more interesting, isn't it good for everyone to talk about things with a smile?" Why make the atmosphere saber-rattling? ”
Cheng Haofeng echoed: "We have actually reached a consensus in many aspects, but some details need to be discussed again, and there is really no need to go to Master Mao." Moreover, the ghost king does not have much conflict with the worldly interests we are asking for, and it is more fair and objective to talk about things with him. ”
Mao Riwu snorted coldly and thought to himself, no matter how much you jump, you are still in my territory, and I will arrange the location as you like to see what tricks you can come up with.
In fact, his little concession is already a secret defeat. His mentality that it is okay to compromise is nothing to lose for him, and it plays a key role in Cheng Haofeng's attempt to regain the opportunity. As long as Cheng Haofeng can induce him and make him form the psychological inertia of constantly compromising, Cheng Haofeng may take the lead.
After they entered the house and sat down, Caique also hid it in the eye socket of the cow's skull at the door. Hu Xianxian was not interested in the war of words between them, she felt that negotiating was similar to haggling for something in the vegetable market. It's just that the vegetable market is bargaining for a few copper plates, and they are fighting for national rights and people's interests.
Protecting the dragon and ascending, so that Han Zexi, the king of Shenjun, succeeded to the throne, they had no objection at this time.
Mo Jinmian thought that the French Dynasty had reached the end of its qi, and the dragon vein where the dragon was located was unstable, and it was better to destroy the dragon vein directly than to let the Fa Dynasty survive. Cheng Haofeng originally had the same idea as him, regardless of the secular government, he destroyed the dragon vein for his own use, and let King Shenjun succeed to the throne and face the death of the country.
It can't be said that Mo Jinmian and Cheng Haofeng are wrong for destroying the dragon vein, because they focus on the entire human world, and for them who have experienced many dynasties, it is common for them to change dynasties.
However, Cheng Haofeng had a different idea at this time, if he wanted to have the power to fight against the hostile forces, he had to use the national strength of the French Dynasty. Helping King Shenjun to ascend the throne smoothly, and then helping King Shenjun sit firmly on the dragon chair is a prerequisite for him to use the national strength of the French Dynasty.
Mao Riwu and the others had been arranging the current affairs long before the old Shenjun king was alive, and buried the dragon head when the old Shenjun king was repairing the tomb, and invested so many manpower and material resources, of course they wanted to help Han Zexi.
Whether it is Mao Riwu, Zha Cuo, Ghost King, Duan Mengrou or Cheng Haofeng, what they are fighting for at this time is to take control of the government.
Mao Riwu is inclined to the interests of Fanbang; Zacuo and the Ghost King are inclined to self-interest; Cheng Haofeng is inclined to the interests of France and North Korea; And Mo Jinmian and Duan Mengrou were inclined to the interests of the black dragon Zang Xuanjiao.
Although Mo Jinmian and Duan Mengrou were killed and imprisoned, their influence could not be ignored. Especially the ink gold crown, he is far away. For example, destroying the dragon vein leaves them with a choice that they must make.
Once the dragon vein is broken, the golden dragon will become a remnant dragon, and if you want to complete the dragon vein, introducing the remnant soul of the black dragon is the best choice.
And to lure out the remnant soul of the black dragon and merge into the dragon vein, Cheng Haofeng's body is the only choice, and others will cause the remnant soul to dissipate if they touch the remnant soul of the black dragon.
Cheng Haofeng agreed to this matter very simply, and their main argument at the moment was the distribution of various rights and interests after Han Zexi ascended the throne.
Hu Xianxian felt that danger was lurking, the shadow of the black dragon was everywhere, and the traps were everywhere. The black dragon Zang Xuanjiao is the kind of shadow that has never appeared, but invisibly affects their life decisions.
From the moment Zang Xuanjiao induced Cheng Haofeng to destroy the Zhenlong Prison Xuan Array, Cheng Haofeng had no choice. Could it be that the ultimate beneficiary of all this is the black dragon Zang Xuanjiao?
Hu Xianxian knew that Cheng Haofeng's jade seal was sent back by Chao Xuantong, and Chao Xuantong's secret assistance to his apprentices would eventually lead to his confrontation with Heavenly Court? Of course, this also led to the opposition between everyone in the Yunhua View and the Heavenly Court? The scuffle between all parties is what Zang Xuanjiao is looking forward to the most, right?
Hu Xianxian was very worried that Cheng Haofeng would make a mistake when he led the remnant soul into the dragon bone, her brows were furrowed, and Du Wanzhi thought that she had a nightmare after her good dream.
Hu Xianxian didn't know much about these secret schemes, so she had to put aside the doubts in her heart first, and then listen carefully to what they were talking about at the moment.
Cheng Haofeng fought with them on several points: Han Zexi continued to maintain good-neighborly and friendly relations with Fanbang after ascending the throne, but whether to form a brotherly state had to wait for Han Zexi to decide personally.
As for the matter of parity trade between the two sides, it is also feasible, but the specific affairs cannot be entrusted to Mao Riwu with full responsibility, and must be jointly responsible for the appointment of the French and Korean people. In addition, all treaty ports had to have French and Korean garrisons.
In the future, it is okay for Zha Cuo to continue to go to the underwater city of sand and be the last god, but if you want to divide the area where the city of sand is located, you can't! That place is flooded with sand and is not rich, but it is also the territory of the French Dynasty, how can it become a "neutral place" between several countries? Cheng Haofeng completely rejected the idea of a "neutral place", and the French dynasty wanted to occupy absolute sovereignty there.
Mao Riwu didn't expect Cheng Haofeng to be so tough, it seemed to give them enough face, but in fact, he didn't give up any real benefits.
"Cheng Haofeng, you have to figure it out, artificially interfering with the Golden Dragon's ascension is a move against the sky! Without our help, Han Zexi may not be able to ascend the throne smoothly, you still don't want to make Han Zexi unable to be the emperor at all for a little profit! ”
Mao Riwu said harshly, he knew that Cheng Haofeng and they didn't have much power to rely on.
"Although it was manpower that interfered with the golden dragon's position, the king of Shenjun was originally destined by heaven, and it was not against the sky." Cheng Haofeng's eyes glanced at the Ghost King, "The destiny of heaven returns, of course, the people who are helped by the Golden Dragon Ascension are from the dragon's merits, and there are many forces that are willing to follow." ”
"Destiny? You should know that sometimes there are situations where public opinion is difficult to disobey. ”
Mao Riwu could see that the Ghost King still supported King Shenjun, after all, Han Zexi was the Purple Micro Star Monarch, and it was relatively easy to help him. Of course, Mao Riwu was unwilling to give up the line of Shenjun Wang, which had been operating for many years, he just wanted to put pressure on Cheng Haofeng and make Cheng Haofeng afraid, so that he could more easily control the overall situation.
Cheng Haofeng knew that Mao Riwu could not easily turn to support others, and jokingly said: "Emperor Deyuan has no heirs, who else can succeed to the throne among the royal family?" King Jin Jun or King Cheng Jun? What King Chengjun did was not at all what the people wanted, and you couldn't help him if you had the heart to help him. ”
Of course, Mao Riwu knew that what Cheng Haofeng said was the truth, and he no longer argued whether King Shen could be the emperor, but said lightly: "Do you think that the gods and Buddhas of the heavens are conniving at our various behaviors? If you do something that goes against the way of heaven, you will be punished in all kinds of ways, but we can do whatever we want. ”
Cheng Haofeng has always been resentful of Heavenly Court's handling of various things, Mao Riwu said this, and he did not hide his indignation: "The Heavenly Gods and Buddhas are indeed conniving at you, and their various actions just prove that they are not self-motivated, they are slacking off in their cultivation, and they can even be said to be corrupt and degenerate." “
Cheng Haofeng looked at them proudly, and then said: "Don't think that you can get any benefits from this, the catastrophe is inevitable, the catastrophe is coming, no one wants to get by." ”
The ghost king shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said to Mao Riwu: "You don't want to help Han Zexi be the emperor to blackmail him, and use the gods and Buddhas to suppress him, but what about him? Directly say that it destroys the world and threatens all of us. Master Mao, this guy is not easy to deal with. ”
Mao Riwu rubbed his temples and said a little tiredly: "You weigh the pros and cons carefully, I am a very generous person, I hope you don't care too much." Let's talk about it today, and you can rest. ”
