The elders of the cabinet said that Yeluhu was too arrogant, Yueli was too deceitful, and the emperor touched his beard with satisfaction, "Then you Aiqing will speak freely, how should I reply to Yeluhu?" "Brainstorming is what a king should do, not alone, but listening to the opinions of others. After the basic discussion, the emperor was almost tired, and waved his hand to Chang Mingsheng and the others, "Okay, you all go down!" ”

The cabinet elders retreated one after another, but only Chang Mingsheng was still standing in the original plan, and the appearance of wanting to speak again made the emperor couldn't help but ask: "Chang Shoufu, don't you have something to say to me?" Chang Mingsheng respectfully bowed to the emperor and nodded: "The saint is wise, the reason why the old minister stayed, he really has something to say, and please forgive the saint, if the old minister's next words make you unhappy, please bear more, the old minister is doing this for the sake of the future generations of Dayue." ”

As he spoke, he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, the emperor's face became gloomy, and he probably guessed what Chang Mingsheng was going to say. The elders who left just now were all in favor of the emperor's inability to agree to Yeluhu's rude request, and just now he noticed that Chang Mingsheng was silent. At this moment, Chang Mingsheng stayed, and it was this behavior again, it seems that he wanted to persuade the emperor to agree to Yeluhu's rude request!

If he should have been driven out according to the emperor's temper, but there are other concerns at the moment, his body can't last long, and he has been hiding from the courtiers, if he is gone, he still expects these ministers to support the country of Dayue and protect the court for his son!

Chang Mingsheng originally thought that when he said this, the emperor would be angry at him, but the emperor didn't drop anything, nor did he open his mouth to scold him, which made him feel a little relieved. "Chang Shoufu, you are a veteran of the two dynasties, and you understand your heart." The emperor pinched the jade wrench in his hand and said slowly.

When Chang Mingsheng heard this, he respectfully kowtowed three heads, and said sincerely: "The old minister thanks the saint, Dayue can have such a bright king, it is the luck of Dayue, the blessing of the people, the old minister is grateful to the saint for the forgiveness of thousands of Dayue people." The emperor smiled faintly and touched his beard, and only after a while did he speak: "Chang Shoufu, get up and speak quickly, Liangsheng, give Chang Shoufu a seat." ”

Manager Chang is slandering in his heart, Chang Mingsheng is the first assistant of Dayue, yes, but what qualifications does he have to represent the thousands of dawn people of Dayue. Hmph, I know that saying nice things makes the emperor happy, obviously has supreme power, and I still want to speak for Yueli. Manager Chang was full of contempt for Chang Mingsheng, the emperor didn't sleep well at night yesterday because of Yeluhu's rude request, and his eyes were swollen when he woke up in the morning.

The emperor raised his hand and smashed it against the general manager, and shouted angrily: "Liangsheng, didn't you hear what I said? "Yes, Holy Lord, the old slave obeys." Giving up the continued slander of Chang Mingsheng in his heart, Manager Chang had to move a chair for Chang Mingsheng and let him sit down. Standing beside the emperor, Chang Mingsheng felt his ill-intentioned gaze, raised his head, looked at each other, Chang rolled up his hand and put it to his lips and coughed a few times, looking down at the ground in a daze.

The emperor lazily picked up the teacup in his hand, scraped the tea leaves floating on the surface with the teacup lid, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Shoufu, if you have anything to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here." While speaking, the eunuch had already served tea to Chang Mingsheng, Chang Mingsheng smiled and thanked him, pursed his lips and took a few sips of tea, "Holy Lord, the old minister feels that although Yeluhu's request seems rude, it is actually very beneficial to Da Yue. ”

"Oh, Chang Shoufu, I'd like to hear about it." The emperor sat up straight and said with a serious face. Manager Chang will not be deceived by Chang Mingsheng's false face, and it is clear that he will speak for him after receiving the benefits of Yeluhu. "Yeluhu proposed to ask for Da Yue's good breed and horses, and it is not difficult to see that this is my Da Yue better than Yueli, otherwise he would not have opened this mouth.

Since he opened his mouth once, there are one and two, and in the long run, slowly Yueli will rely on Da Yue. Of course, Dayue's sycophants and good breeds cannot be given to them for free, which requires them to take money to buy, and we Dayue sell them at two or even three or four times higher than the market. This is a good thing for us in Da Viet. Chang Mingsheng said with an excited expression, and the general manager Chang just wanted to interject, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, who made the emperor listen to it with relish.

Chang Mingsheng saw that the emperor did not have the slightest impatience, and continued: "Secondly, Yeluhu proposed to sign a border mutual market treaty, the old minister thought that this was also completely necessary, for a long time, the people on the border between my Dayue and Yueli have often been oppressed and harassed by Yueli, if the mutual market treaty is signed, then Yueli can not bully the people on my Dayue border, so that they are not bullied, and at the same time they take the initiative to sign, the content of the specific treaty can be discussed again, all in all, we Dayue occupy the initiative, It's good for us! ”

Manager Chang couldn't help but slander in his heart, so why didn't he mention that Yeluhu wanted Dayue to cut the land, obviously Dayue won the war, and Yueli was a defeated country, so they were embarrassed to ask for the land. Chang Mingsheng was still talking to Yueli now, and Manager Chang's only remaining good impression of him disappeared in an instant.

The emperor frowned carefully and thought about what Chang Mingsheng had just said, but he never spoke, but it could be seen from his expression that he did listen to Chang Mingsheng's words in his heart. Seeing that the emperor's frowning brows slowly relaxed, Manager Chang couldn't help but blurt out any longer: "Chang Shoufu, the old slave has something unclear, please give me advice." ”

"Mr. Chang is polite, if there is anything to say, as long as I am old, I can help." Chang Mingsheng's eyes were about to narrow into a slit with a smile, Chang Manager naturally had to ask the emperor for instructions on such an overstepping behavior, turned to the emperor, and got the emperor's nod of approval, he asked: "Chang Shoufu, in fact, the old slave has always had doubts about this matter, the regent of Yueli proposed to ask me to cut the land in Dayue, I don't know what Chang Shoufu thinks?" Do you still think that Da Yue should agree to their request and give up my Da Yue's land! ”

With a slightly questioning tone in his tone, Chang Mingsheng only thought about how to persuade the emperor to agree to Yeluhu's conditions, but he didn't expect that Manager Chang would cause trouble for him at this time, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, this damn old thing, on an errand by the emperor's side, didn't know how to give advice for the Chang family and win the emperor's trust, but it would block him.

Chang Mingsheng's breath in his chest almost didn't come up, just at this time, the emperor bent his fingers and kept tapping on the bookcase, and echoed: "Chang Shoufu, not to mention that Liangsheng wants to know, I also want to know, what do you think of Yeluhu's proposal to cut the land?" "How did this hot potato get to him, if Chang Mingsheng could kill people with his eyes, Manager Chang would not stand in a good position at this moment, and it would not be an exaggeration to die a thousand times a hundred times.

Chang Mingsheng coughed dryly twice, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the saint, in fact, for Yueli's request for Dayue to cut the land, the old minister thinks that it is okay to agree to them. "Chang Shoufu, you have to think clearly before answering. As the first assistant of Da Yue, how can you face Yue Li, Da Yue gave you a high-ranking official, but you spoke for Yue Li, doesn't this make the saint chill? Chang Shoufu, although what the old slave said was not good, Dan Li was not wrong at all. "Manager Chang really can't bear it anymore, this Chang Mingsheng is getting more and more disagreeable, and now he actually wants to persuade the emperor to agree to the treaty proposed by Yueli to lose power and humiliate the country.

How can it go on like this, in case Yue Li starts a war on the border again, it must be made Yue Li taste the bitterness, so that the territory of Dayue can be peaceful. Even people who don't understand political affairs can have this experience, and the emperor is deeply gratified, and it is not in vain that he has kept Chang by his side for many years, and he can still speak for him at critical moments. The emperor did suspect Chang Mingsheng's motives, as a courtier of Da Yue, he held the high-ranking official of Da Yue, but spoke for the enemy country Yueli.

When Chang Mingsheng heard this, he knelt on his knees and hurriedly explained: "Holy Lord, don't listen to the nonsense of Manager Chang, the old minister is loyal to Da Yue and has no two hearts. Besides, the old minister is a veteran of the two dynasties, and everything the old minister said and did was for the sake of Dayue, and he asked the Holy Lord to see it. ”

At the same time, the complaining eyes pierced directly into the eyes of Mr. Chang, who smiled proudly at him, if he had a hundred mouths, he would explain to the emperor, as long as the emperor could listen to him. "Chang Shoufu, please hurry up, I know your heartfelt devotion to Da Yue, and what you have done for Da Yue for so many years, I have seen it in my eyes and remembered it in my heart." The emperor was praising Chang Mingsheng, first comforting him, and then changed his words and sank his face.

"However, I think what Liang Sheng said is not unreasonable, as the first assistant of Da Yue, why did you persuade me to agree to Yeluhu's request to cede the land. It stands to reason that Yue Li was defeated, it shouldn't be Yue Li who cut the land to give me Da Yue, but now it's the opposite, how did Chang Shoufu think deeply, say it and let me hear it, so as to eliminate the doubts in Liang Sheng's heart, isn't it? ”

The emperor glanced at Chang Shoufu as he spoke, and Chang immediately answered: "That's it, what the saint said is not wrong at all, the old slave can wait to hear Chang Shoufu's high opinion!" "Gao Jian can't talk about it, but the old minister learned about some secret affairs in Yueli's country, so he specially stayed and asked the emperor to agree to the request made by Yeluhu." Chang Mingsheng's eyes flashed slightly, his arched back was a little sore, and he wanted to stand up as soon as possible.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Chang Shoufu, what is the secret?" "Successfully aroused the emperor's curiosity, what was the secret thing that made Chang Mingsheng agree to such a humiliating treaty. Manager Chang snorted disdainfully, as far as he would say, he would not believe that he could flicker the emperor, but he still pricked up his ears and listened.

Chang Mingsheng replied respectfully: "Back to the saint, the old minister learned that the emperor and the queen mother of Yueli had long been dissatisfied with Yeluhu, the regent, and before the death of the emperor of Yueli, the prince Yeluhu appointed the prince Yeluhu as the regent, assisting the young prince to ascend the throne and take charge of Yueli's political affairs. Today, the young prince has reached adulthood, but Yeluhu has not handed over the power in his hands for a long time.

He personally sent Dayue to envoys, undoubtedly giving the emperor and the queen mother in the country an opportunity, the old minister just said that the promise is just a false promise, not really to cede my Dayue territory to Yueli. The old minister proposed that we could take advantage of Yeluhu's presence in Dayue to secretly send someone to the Yueli Imperial Palace and reach an agreement with the emperor and the empress dowager of Yueli to give Yeluhu a secret execution.

At that time, Emperor Yueli and the Queen Mother will definitely regard our Dayue as benefactors, and the matter of cutting the land will naturally be invalidated, and it is impossible for our Dayue to help them get the power in the hands of Yelu for no reason, and they will definitely have something to take. "Jeruhu wanted to threaten him with the matter of the Providence Casino, but he was really dreaming. He must not let Yelu Hu leave Dayue alive, otherwise he will keep using Chang Deli's affairs to blackmail him and continue to do things for Yueli.

How could his dignified Dayue Shoufu be used by him, he had to admonish in front of the emperor, and he must not let Yelu Hu leave Dayue alive. At this moment, the emperor personally got up and walked to Chang Mingsheng's side to help him up, patted him on the shoulder, and said in appreciation: "Chang Shoufu, what you said is right, not wrong at all, why didn't I think of such a good way." Chang Shoufu, you are worthy of being a veteran of the two dynasties, and you can get along in such a good way. I was suspicious of you before, but now I want to avenge you and punish Liang Sheng. Liang Sheng, do you know what is wrong? ”

When Mr. Chang heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistakes, and was forced to make a fool of Chang Mingsheng, who naturally forgave him generously in front of the emperor. The emperor was very much in favor of his proposal, and at the same time handed over the specific arrangements to him, who let this matter be advocated by him, and he must handle it himself, so that the emperor can rest assured. "Holy Lord, the old minister will definitely do his best to handle this matter." Chang Mingsheng bent down and replied.

The emperor put his face to his ear and whispered, "Chang Shoufu, if you really do this for me, I will marry my cousin, Princess Changle, to your son Chang Deli." "Princess Changle is in the prime of her cardamom years, and she married Chang Mingsheng's son Chang Deli, which is the honor of their Chang family. If they get involved with the imperial family, unless they commit some heinous crimes, the emperor will never care about them.

Manager Chang looked confused, and couldn't wait to lean his ears over and listen to what the emperor was saying to Chang Mingsheng. made Chang Mingsheng smile so happily, the emperor went to the Ronghua Hall in a good mood, and before leaving, he ordered Chang Mingsheng to send Chang Mingsheng out of the palace. The two of them were silent along the way, and they were about to arrive at the gate of the palace, Chang Mingsheng said lightly: "Manager Chang, you should go back and serve the saint quickly, the old minister is one step ahead." ”

Manager Chang said coldly: "Chang Shoufu, I really didn't expect your scheming to be so deep. "It's over, farewell!" Chang Mingsheng was reluctant to tear his face with Mr. Chang, who made him a big celebrity around the emperor, and he could talk. In case he puts small shoes on him in front of the emperor, then he will not even have a place to cry, not only can he not offend him, but on the contrary, he must please and flatter him. This is really aggrieved for Chang Mingsheng.

Qin Su could feel that the emperor's mood was unprecedentedly happy, and he had to shout and hug Yanran and make her laugh. If they didn't know, they thought that Yanran was their daughter, and the emperor's ordinary majesty would have long since ceased to exist. "Su'er, you see she smiled at me, how did you say that this little girl is so good that she can let me, the king of a country, personally hug her and coax her." The emperor smiled and lowered his head and pinched Yanran's little face, the red puff was puffy and puffy, so that the emperor couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her.

was soon taken away by Qin Su, and glared at him angrily, "Shengshang, what you said is not right, where is Yanran's fate, her mother is gone when she was born, and her father has only seen her once." ”
