"Master Gu, this letter can be written by the official, but the number can never be what you said."

Gu Xian shook his head: "In this way, this official can count a thousand horses less than you, lest you say that we are stingy." ”

Gu Xian looked like you had taken a big advantage, and the envoys of the angry Northern Liang wanted to scold people, wouldn't there be 19,000 horses if you counted 1,000 horses? How can this be discussed?

Prime Minister Gao: ...... This scoundrel begins again. Subtract and subtract, the amount he wants, he can't take it out on his side, so it's better not to talk about it.

He arched his hand, "Let's get here today, we have to discuss this here." ”

King Chen also bowed his hand, and then watched them leave.

Back at the Lifan Courtyard, the envoys of the Northern Liang gathered in one place and discussed in a whisper, "10,000 horses are the price of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver in our country, it's really not good, let's exchange it for silver, right?" ”

"Do you think that the Daxing Dynasty lacks these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"

The minister who proposed to exchange the silver was suddenly dumbfounded, and the prosperity of the dynasty was vast, and the wealth far exceeded that of the Northern Liang, and the people were richer than the Northern Liang.

"But the emperor issued a death order, and at most he only gave 5,000 war horses, but depending on the other party's attitude, they will definitely not agree to 5,000 war horses."

"It's better to replace it with a cow, and the number will drop even further."

Prime Minister Gao specially asked the son of the Shi family, "What does the son of Shi think?" ”

Shi Yan, that is, Chu Heyu's cousin, smiled gently, "Although Prime Minister Gao talks about it, the part that is bad, the emperor is out of our family." ”

Prime Minister Gao Cheng is afraid of this, if he really wants to let the Shi family have horses, it is equivalent to roasting the emperor on the fire.

No matter what the prince said, he was also ordered to come to Daxing on an errand, although it failed, but to redeem him and return to China, the emperor should send supplies.

Now the emperor's price is too low, Daxing does not agree to release people, but the one who bears the blame has become the Shi family, which is unreasonable~

"Shi Gongzi laughed, this matter will be repaired by the official immediately to return to China, and the emperor will definitely not let the uncle's mansion break the bank."

Shi Gongzi always had a faint smile on his face, and when Prime Minister Gao asked, he squeaked, most of the time he was a bystander with only ears and no mouth.

But Prime Minister Gao just felt that the young head of the Shi family was not simple.

……

After a few people left, the three of them returned to the Chaoyang Hall again.

"How's it going? Did it go well today? ”

King Chen smiled: "Fortunately, with today's posture, maybe we can really get a few more horses from Beiliang." ”

Gu Xian shook his head: "Not necessarily."

The bottom line of Beiliang is there, if Prime Minister Gao really repairs a letter and returns to China, the old emperor of Beiliang may have the idea of using the eldest prince to directly send someone to assassinate the eldest prince, and then he will attack Daxing under the pretext that the eldest prince is injured, so that he doesn't even have to give a horse. ”

Ye Hanyu nodded: "When Prime Minister Gao Cheng first sat down at the negotiation table yesterday, he had a look of confidence, as if he was looking forward to the negotiation and they would make small moves.

Later, Master Gu was too strong, and the prime minister Gao restrained somewhat, but their thoughts couldn't be so simple and gone. ”

King Chen said: "But it seems that my Lord Gu deliberately mentioned the Beiliang Shi family." ”

Gu Xian said: "Weichen thinks that we can send someone to quietly find the prince of the Shi family and explain to him that the Emperor of Northern Liang wants to take advantage of this incident to start a war against Daxing, and the eldest prince is likely to become a victim of this war, and the person who can be sent to follow up on the matter of the eldest prince is definitely not short of brains, he has a high probability that he will believe it, and even, the Shi family may know more than we know."

In addition, our side has continued to ask for the number of horses in the past two days, forcing Prime Minister Gao to assassinate the eldest prince, and they dare to enter the palace to murder Chu Heyu, so we can negotiate privately with the Shi family.

At that time, as long as the Shi family takes out 10,000 war horses, we can steal the eldest prince, as for the Northern Liang Emperor's side, once he has a war, we will support the eldest prince to engage in internal strife, internal and external troubles, I don't believe that the Northern Liang can still turn over flowers. ”

It is not that the Daxing Dynasty did not have the strength to directly smash Huanglong to take the Northern Liang, but the price of doing so was too great, and it was to gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

The main thing is that there is no good way to manage after the attack on the North Liang.

People live on animal husbandry, and if they don't grow food, they won't settle down on a piece of land, and once the Northern Liang is defeated, these people can roll up their things and flee to the deepest part of the grassland, and they may be able to pull out a team to make a comeback.

So the attack on the Northern Liang is really worth the loss.

Ye Hanyu took the initiative to ask, "Erchen is willing to contact this son of the Shi family, what does it mean to explore their Shi family, as long as the Shi family is willing to exchange war horses, why should we keep people?"

An extra day of food is an extra day of food! ”

The emperor said: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, but you also have to pay more attention to safety, especially Gu Aiqing, the people of Beiliang are bold and scheming, they can't talk for a long time, maybe they will move to clean up your mind."

I've sent a few Dark Guards to guard you, but you need to be careful. ”

Gu Xian hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, there are people arranged by King Yujun by Weichen's side, it shouldn't be a big deal." ”

The emperor said with relief: "The sixth brother has always done things properly, so I can rest assured." ”

……

After talking to Prime Minister Gao and the others for a while, Shi Yan returned to his room, and only glanced at it and found that there was an extra note on his desk.

There is an address written on it, which is actually the name of a restaurant, Shiding hot pot restaurant, and the person who left the word is written below, which is the king of Daxingyu County.

Shi Yan's face couldn't help but show a hint of interest.

The other party already knew his identity, and as soon as the Shi family was mentioned at the negotiation table during the day, King Yujun came to invite him in the evening, which made Shi Yan very much want to know what the other party was going to say.

Today's negotiations ended early, so it was still dawn at this time, Shi Yan invited the people of the mission to go shopping together, but unfortunately no one was with him, so he took his entourage to the street with a swagger!

When I went out to inquire, the hottest thing in the capital now is this Shiding hot pot, but Shi Yan felt hot when she heard the name, this hot day, but when I came to the capital of Daxing, there was something delicious and it sounded very novel, so I had to try it.

There was still some distance from the hot pot restaurant, and a strange fragrance went straight to the nose, and the shouting of the guy was particularly loud, which also attracted Shi Yan's attention all of a sudden.

Shi Yan's little servant said with some excitement: "I have never smelled this smell, and it is strange and fragrant, listen to it, it seems that it is selling Su Ji mutton skewers." ”

Shi Yan was in front of the store for a while, "Isn't that it?" ”
