There were a total of four people in the private room, Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou surrounded Wang Chengen to persuade him to drink. Wu Sangui acted as Ai Husheng's position, busy pouring wine.

Seeing Li Xiao, Mao Wenlong, and Sun Chengzong coming in, Wang Chengen hurriedly stood up. smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord General for your hospitality, our family lives in the capital all year round, and we really haven't eaten so much seafood." ”

Wang Chengen is obviously very satisfied with today's banquet, he is not Xu Xianchun. Xu Xianchun is in an important position in Jinyiwei, and there are many people who eat on weekdays. Wang Chengen is the head of the palace in the palace, and the king is the master who doesn't bite the dogs. Who is okay to invite your chamberlain to eat and drink, today's such an entertainment, in the position of the guest of honor, Wang Chengen is the first time.

Li Xiao looked at Wang Chengen's ruddy face, this old guy didn't drink less. It seems that Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou's achievements in persuading wine are quite brilliant.

"Huh! It's good if the prince likes it, our Shanhaiguan place is small, and there is nothing to entertain. It's rare that the prince likes it, Sangui, you tell me to go down. Prepare some dried shrimp and dried sea cucumbers for the prince to take back. Li Xiao immediately ordered Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui immediately went out to make arrangements.

"Yo! How embarrassing is this, let the chief soldier break the bank. Wang Chengen thanked with a smile, and the folds on his face were like blooming chrysanthemums.

"It's just a little souvenir, and my father-in-law doesn't have to mind. This glass of water and wine, I Li Xiao respects you. Li Xiao picked up his wine glass and toasted Wang Chengen.

"The old slave should respect the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief will defend the country. The battle tartar is in the bitter cold land, and he often said it when he was still in the dive mansion. If our northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty is not supported by the general soldiers, the thieves may have already arrived in the city. This cup, the old slave should respect you. Wang Chengen stood up, smiling and talking with a wine glass.

"Princess, our wine order just now doesn't count if you drink standing up. If you drink this wine, you will drink it for nothing. Zu Dashou stood up with a smile, and it seemed that he had just had a drinking lawsuit.

"Mr. Zu is right, sit and drink, let's sit and drink." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Elder Sun, you are the emperor. In front of you, where is the seat of the minion. Old slave ......! ”

"I don't pay so much attention today, and when I arrive at Shanhaiguan, I am a guest of Brother Xiao'er. The old man is now just a staff member of the General Military Office, the first emperor has become popular, and the old man is no longer an emperor. Sun Chengzong pressed Wang Chengen's shoulder and asked him to sit down.

Li Xiao saw it in his eyes, and looked at Wang Chengen differently in his heart. It stands to reason that Zhu Youzhen's accession to the throne is imminent. As Zhu Youzhen's confidant, Wang Chengen's worth is naturally rising. has been a grandson for so many years, and now he is being picked up, and he is not fluttering. Instead, he was able to maintain a trace of clarity, which proves that this guy is still a bit of a city. I'm afraid it's not that easy to deal with this guy today.

Here, Wang Chengen has been pressed by Sun Chengzong to sit down, and Li Xiao and Wang Chengen have a cup. Wang Chengen drank it all with both hands in his hand, and after drinking, he lit up the bottom of the glass to Li Xiao.

"Ahem......!" Mao Wenlong coughed lightly, but Wu Xiang hadn't reacted yet. Zu Dashou had already reacted, and pulled Wu Xiang and said, "If you drink too much, accompany me out of Gong." ”

The next words belong to the category of conspiracy, and this kind of thing must be known as little as possible. Zu Dashou was very conscious, and pulled Wu Xiang to leave.

"Princess, none of the outsiders here. Tell me, what is the purpose of the Lord Banzai who sent you this time. Seeing Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang going out, Li Xiao immediately got straight to the point. This guy is not Xu Xianchun, he is much more difficult to deal with than Xu Xianchun, it is better to get straight to the point. It's easy to go around the bend with this kind of bastard, and it's easy to get yourself in.

"Long live has not yet ascended the throne, and this will cannot be talked about. It's just that Tartar has been rampant recently, and the tranquility of northern Xinjiang depends on General Li's soldiers. In this ......, if someone in the capital wants to transfer the chief soldier into Beijing, please ask the chief soldier to ...... According to it. After Wang Chengen finished speaking, a pair of triangular eyes stared at Li Xiao's face.

"Naturally, I won't accept the chaos of life, but if there is a text from the Ministry of War, I ...... You can't disobey orders! Li Xiao looked embarrassed.

"Uh......!" Wang Chengen was shocked, he didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to actually use the military department. His henchmen were all over the court, and it was too easy for him to draw up a military draft.

"This is officially long live worry, the defense of northern Xinjiang ......!"

"Princess, let's not beat around the bush. What Xu Xianchun is doing in Shanhaiguan, you must be able to guess. He brought with him a document on the transfer of troops from the Ministry of War, as well as a bill of lading for 500,000 taels of silver. He said that when he arrived in the capital, he would allocate 300,000 taels of silver. Sun Chengzong took out a brown paper envelope, shook it in front of Wang Chengen's eyes, and then put it on the table.

"Ahem......!" Wang Chengen coughed. The shot is quite generous, and it is 800,000 taels of silver as soon as it is shot.

Since Mr. Sun said it so bluntly, the old slave didn't beat around the bush. What does Li Zongbing want, the old slave tries to maneuver in front of Long Live as much as possible. "Since everyone has spoken out, let's just talk about the conditions in front of the gongs and drums. What metaphors, metaphors are omitted, and everyone guesses like idiots, which seems very stupid.

"We want 800,000 taels of silver! Wei Zhongxian promised us that if we can't get it, this military food and salary will become a problem. Mao Wenlong had a face that he had never seen money.

"This is no problem, these 800,000 households can be released. It is not easy for the soldiers to defend the border, and they cannot even receive military salaries. Wang Chengen happily agreed. For earnings, 800,000 taels of silver is nothing.

"Brother Xiao wants to be the governor of Shandong, and the old man wants to be the political envoy of Shandong. Shandong Admiral, Ao Canghai! "As soon as Wang Chengen agreed here, Sun Chengzong threw a bombshell over there.

Li Xiao was the governor of Shandong, and Sun Chengzong was the political envoy of Shandong. Ao Canghai is the governor of Shandong, which is the rhythm of Shandong's military and political grasp. Coupled with Mao Wenlong, the Jiliao Governor, what is this Li Xiao going to do, tearing the earth and sealing the king?

Wang Chengen was a little stupid, he needed to digest this bombshell.

"If Banzai doesn't even agree to this request, then ...... The Liao army also had no way to refuse the words of the military department. After all, we're still under the control of the Ministry of War! Li Xiao followed, and the three of them pressed forward step by step. Wang Chengen's head oozed beads of sweat!

"Are there any other conditions?" Wang Chengen looked at Li Xiao and asked.

"Nope! We also know that moderation is enough. Li Xiao also looked at Wang Chengen.

This was discussed by Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong, and Mao Wenlong. Even if he captured Jinan City and defeated Chen Hailong, in the final analysis, Shandong is not justified in his hands.

Shandong is too important to Liaodong, and Liaodong's cloth, cotton, and soldiers all have to rely on Shandong for supplies. It can be said that Shandong is the best base in Liaodong. In particular, Li Xiao now occupies complete sea control, and there is not a single Houjin warship in the Bohai Bay.

Take advantage of this opportunity to snatch Shandong over. Hold it in your hands, otherwise Liaodong will be a rootless tree.

Wang Chengen had heaven and man at war in his head, to Shandong. Li Xiao will inevitably grow into a warlord, and he will be the culprit if he can't lose himself in the future.

If you don't give it to Shandong, Li Xiao will wave his army into Beijing. The fact that people have the language of the military department can be regarded as reasonable and well-founded. If Li Xiao enters Beijing, the situation in the capital ......! Those fools in the three major battalions, even if they are tied together, are not Li Xiao's opponents. Especially after watching Li Xiao's display of force today, Wang Chengen was full of fear of Li Xiao's entry into Beijing.

"No matter what the conditions, I will agree to him." Zhu Youzhen's words sounded in his ears again, this is the hole card given to him by Zhu Youzhen when Wang Chengen left Beijing.

Wang Chengen didn't know that this time Xu Xianchun came to Shanhaiguan and only brought a bill of lading of 500,000 taels of silver from the Jizhou Domain. What is the text of the military department, it is all Li Xiao deceiving him.

"The old slave agreed to this matter, and after the old slave returned to Beijing, he would report to Long Live and would definitely give General Li a satisfactory answer." Wang Chengen is also an old fox, and Li Xiao's pupils shrank. What does it mean that Wang Chengen agreed, you are not the emperor, you promised to have a fart.

was about to speak, when suddenly Sun Chengzong kicked Li Xiao under the table.

"Good! Since the chamberlain agreed, let's hold our troops for now. According to the news of the capital, seven days will be the day when the new emperor will ascend the throne. We hope that the first will after the accession to the throne will be the Owl and our appointment. Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

In the end, it was the old fox who set a deadline for this matter. If Zhu Youzhen does not have the will to appoint, there will be a party leader led by Wei Zhongxian inside, and a strong army of Li Xiao outside. Even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will definitely not be able to sit on the throne of the emperor.

"The old slave will rise up tonight, and in seven days he will be enthroned. The first will will definitely be the appointment of General Li Bing! After the conditions are negotiated, Wang Chengen will not drag the mud and water. He is not a military general like Xu Xianchun, and he can ride a horse between Shanhaiguan and the capital.

Don't look at Shanhaiguan is not far from the capital, if you really want to take a carriage, it will take three or two days.

"With such a waiter, our department will definitely abide by the agreement within seven days." Mao Wenlong bowed his hand to Wang Chengen as a farewell.

"I will definitely satisfy you!" Wang Chengen didn't talk nonsense, just stood up and walked out.

"Let Wu Sangui take a cavalry company to escort the prince back to Beijing." As soon as Wang Chengen walked to the door, Li Xiao's order came.

It's easy to negotiate the conditions, this prince can't let people hack him halfway. If that's the case, it's all in vain.

"No!" Wu Sangui, who was standing at the door waiting, promised loudly, saluted Li Xiao, and then followed Wang Chengen out.

"Old Sun, how sure are you?" Mao Wenlong saw Wang Chengen go out and asked inquiringly.

"Eighty percent, under the trade-off, the emperor will still give us Shandong. Look at it, the first major thing for the new emperor to ascend the throne was to dispose of Wei Zhongxian. During this time, we still have to be appeased not to make trouble. ”
