Chapter 1104: Lobbying
Qiu Feishan naturally knew that Xiao Xiao had never been easy to get along with, but she was still a little embarrassed when she said sarcastic words so bluntly.
Qiu Feishan suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said, "The prince is really busy, you can forget such a big thing." Don't worry about it, what we have done in the past will be revealed for the time being, and we will do it for the future. ”
Several people were silent, and in such an embarrassing atmosphere, Mu Jinghu even wanted to directly block Qiu Feishan's mouth and throw people out.
Qiu Feishan didn't care at all, and continued: "Now that Lu Heng is colluding with the Tatars to attack the Great Zhou, then Huichuan County is so close to the capital, if it falls, I'm afraid that the capital will not be able to reflect in time if it wants to be prepared, and I am afraid that it will not be a disaster at that time?"
"Although Dingguo Gong is a fierce general and has the experience of defeating the Tatars, he was well prepared at the beginning, and the situation is far from being comparable to the current situation."
Xiao Xiao was unmoved, and asked with a faint expression: "What do you have to say, just say it, why bother to detour?" ”
Qiu Feishan didn't care about his attitude, and smiled slightly: "Okay, so I'll just say it." Regardless of other things, the cooperation between me and the prince in the past should be called quite pleasant. I hope to continue to cooperate with Wang Ye. As long as the prince is willing to agree to the request to go on an expedition, expel the Tatars, and eliminate Lu Heng and his gang, then I am willing to fill the military salary that cannot be taken out by the court for you in private. ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Feishan stood up, her voice was full of righteousness, and her tone was very passionate: "The imperial court can't take out the silver for disaster relief, let alone the silver to repel the Tatars. What do people hope for most when they are in danger? If the prince descends from the sky at this time, and relieves the external troubles at his fingertips, not to mention anything else, the prestige of the god of war will be even more than before! ”
Taking a few steps closer, Qiu Feishan arched his hand, "I know that the prince is a great hero who has the city in his chest, so he naturally understands when to say something." In this way, we have a mutually beneficial and win-win approach, what reason does the prince have to refuse? ”
Mu Jinghu's hands behind his back were clenched into fists, almost making a clicking sound. This woman who is such a philistine and takes advantage of the national crisis to negotiate terms with Xiao Xiao is actually his son's mother! Mu Jinghu really hated to strangle her to death!
Qiu Feishan was full of confidence and waited for Xiao Xiao's answer, she believed that with Xiao Xiao's cleverness, he knew when to do something, and he would never give up this excellent opportunity to perform.
When the mocking smile hung on the corner of her lips, Qiu Feishan was stunned for a moment.
"Boss Qiu's abacus is good." Xiao Xiao's voice was leisurely, but the words he said were not friendly, "Let me tell you this." Even if the king wants to go on an expedition in the future and go to quell the Tatar rebellion, it will be the king himself who wants to go. It has nothing to do with you, let alone a partnership. The silver is not enough, the court has its own arrangements, and the king does not need the funding of the Qiu boss. ”
Qiu Feishan was stunned for a moment, she had been full of confidence since she entered the door, and finally understood the current situation thoroughly. Xiao Xiao is not a person who is at the mercy of others, she knows his toughness, but she didn't expect that at this juncture, Xiao Xiao still refuses to cooperate with her!
"Lord Wang, please think about it carefully, the current situation is really too unfavorable for the people, if you delay it any longer, once the Tatars break through Huichuan, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"You care about the people?" The mockery became even more obvious, "How can such a person who has the world in his heart and a sense of justice not care about the revenge of killing his own grandfather?" As far as I know, your grandfather held you in the palm of his hand and raised you carefully, and it was Qiu Yuanqing who killed your grandfather. Now you can still stand on the front line with Qiu Yuanqing, and Boss Qiu's actions are really incomprehensible to this king. ”
"But it doesn't matter, and this king doesn't want to see through it. This king is a reckless man, and there are some things that he is not sure about, so there is no need to force himself. The Tao is not the same, Boss Qiu, you still don't have to bother convincing this king. ”
Mu Jinghu stood aside, listening to Xiao Xiao's words, and his face was already flushed with shame for Qiu Feishan. Obviously, he was deeply ashamed of Qiu Feishan's approach.
Qiu Feishan gradually regained her calm after being stunned. didn't care at all about Xiao Xiao's ridicule, even comparable to a slap in the face, but said: "Prince Zhongshun is a smart man, think about it, you now promise to cooperate with me, and you can get financial support in terms of food and salary after sending troops in the future." But if you don't agree, you may still have to go on an expedition in the future, and then do you expect the Holy One to give you food? ”
On the surface, this seems to be a statement of facts, but in fact it is a clear threat.
Mu Jinghu said early that the Qiu family and the Lu family gradually completed the transfer after the failure of the Lu family, and now the Qiu family has become a family of the world, and the people who have been buried in the court for many years can finally be activated, plus Qiu Feishan uses the financial resources and connections of the Qiu family, if she wants to influence anything in the court, some are people who can come out.
If Xiao Xiao does not agree to Qiu Feishan's cooperation now, she has the ability to let Xiao Xiao still have to go on the expedition! And when the time comes, it is very likely that the imperial court will not be able to come up with the silver at all.
If you don't agree to cooperate, you will usher in an even more embarrassing ending!
"Enough!" Without waiting for Xiao Xiao to speak, Mu Jinghu couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "You are not ashamed enough!" ”
Qiu Feishan was immediately stunned by Mu Jinghu's roar, and looked at Mu Jinghu blankly, "You ......"
"How could I marry a woman like you! You are full of interests, and you can use anyone to see that you can use it, is it that this relationship between me and you can also be used casually? ”
"How can you say that?" Qiu Feishan finally lost her composure and said anxiously, "Between you and my husband and wife, how have I ever hurt you?" Think about it, I have done something against you! Everything I did didn't involve you, and I made it clear just now that family affairs are family affairs, and big things are big things, how can they be mixed up? No matter how much I've done outside, I've never hurt you! ”
"Enough! Please come back! Mu Jinghu yelled, stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Feishan's wrist and pushed the person out.
Bi Ying hurriedly came to support Qiu Feishan, and screamed angrily: "Uncle, what are you doing!" Our young lady ......"
"Shut up! What's the matter with you! Mu Jinghu roared back unceremoniously and threw the two out together, "It's not enough for you to be embarrassed!" Get out of here! ”
Qiu Feishan and Bi Ying staggered a few steps, and it was easy to stand firm, looking up at Mu Jinghu on the steps with angry eyes, Qiu Feishan's eyes were full of tears.
Qin Yining was worried that Mu Jinghu was angry and didn't take it lightly, so he was busy letting people push the owl and take everyone out of the door.
Mu Jinghu said: "You go." Don't think about using us in the future. Neither I nor Zhixi are marionettes in your hands, and you can play with them at will. ”
"I didn't, I ...... to you"
"I don't want to believe your word for it anymore." Mu Jinghu stepped down the steps step by step, looked at Qiu Feishan's tearful eyes, and said mockingly: "You say, how much did your clever mouth deceive me in the past?" How long have I been your accomplice? If you act like this, aren't you afraid that Brother Yan will do the same in the future? Who else can you have a word of truth to you? ”
Qiu Feishan's tears flowed down.
Mu Jinghu was very sad in his heart, his eyes were also red, and in order to avoid losing his temper, he turned around and went to the side courtyard.
Qiu Feishan looked at Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining with calm faces, opened her mouth, and finally only squeezed out one sentence: "Farewell." Then he left quickly with Biying.
Qin Yining frowned and looked at Qiu Feishan's back as if she had fled into the wilderness, and sighed faintly: "What can I do about this, a good little couple......
Xiao Xiao also sighed, Mu Jinghu was his brother after all, and the little couple who would make trouble because they were involved in their affairs were in such a situation now, and he really couldn't help it.
Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao returned to the bedroom, and the two were relatively silent except for their coats.
After a long time, Qin Yining said: "Zhixi, I don't think Qiu Feishan will give up, maybe she will really use the power in her hands to persuade the Holy Majesty to order you to go on the expedition." ”
Xiao Xiao nodded: "I think so too, this woman doesn't look sad about what she said about wood right now, but when she looks back, she doesn't just do what she should do?" She is a clever and cunning person, and she must have left behind. ”
As Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining guessed, in the imperial study, Li Qitian sat behind the bookcase in an ink-colored regular robe, looking down at the courtiers kneeling in front of him.
Fang Shouru, the head of the household, is over half a hundred years old, but he is still old and strong, and his voice is loud and sonorous when he recalls: "...... It was the courtiers who asked the Holy Lord's permission to appoint Prince Zhongshun, and put aside the mistakes he had made in the past, and for the sake of the present plan, it was important to expel the Tatars from the land first. If Prince Zhongshun and Dingbei Hou can cooperate, and there is an injection of the strength of the Tiger Army, presumably the Tatars will be defeated, and the danger of the trapped Longxiang Army will be solved. ”
The Saint is still trapped in the Longxiang army, but fortunately, there are many people, and after Ji Zeyu's training, and the Tatar forces are also scattered, this can barely support no one and defeat anyone immediately. But in the long run, the losses of the Long Xiang army will only become more and more huge, and won't it be painful at that time?
Li Qitian rubbed his aching eyebrows.
In the past few days, it has not only been a courtier who is admonishing him to enable the scumbag. Not only the old ministers of the Northern Hebei Kingdom, but even his descendants also think so.
He didn't understand, why when it came to war, everyone thought of it? Could it be that there is no way to fight a war without a in this world?
Seeing that Li Qitian did not answer immediately, Fang Shouru said eagerly: "Holy Lord, the minister ......."
"Alright." Li Qitian interrupted Fang Shouru's words, "You step back first." I still need to think about it. ”
Fang Shouru's words were choked in his throat, and he finally calmed down after taking a breath, bowed his head respectfully, and bowed before leaving quietly.
Li Qitian was silent for a long time, still sitting quietly behind the bookcase, as if thinking about the current situation.
After Fang Shouru left the palace gate, he immediately ordered the little servant to send a letter out, although nothing was written on the cover, the first word on the front of the letter was the word "autumn".
