Chapter 690: Three Conditions
Sun Ning's eyes drooped, and a hint of strange color quickly flashed.
He understood Xun Yin's words, this person is afraid that he is not the same as King Lu.
The purpose of today's banquet is probably to probe the wind and see if the two sides can cooperate.
But it's still the same sentence, this matter is not something that he can deal with as a stand-in, so he will naturally leave it to Zhao Hanshan to respond.
The latter was also a little surprised at this time, he was good, and Zhao Qianzhe was also good, he always thought that the Jeju government was of one mind, after all, over the years, the entire Lu land was the head of the king of Lu.
Therefore, for Xun Taishou's invitation today, they only regarded it as an ordinary banquet, and even guarded against any possible variables, so they would let the stand-in of "Li Ji" come.
Unexpectedly, this simple banquet has become a key choice, should Xun Yin be considered in the cooperation?
Since he dares to open his mouth like this, it proves that he has a lot of chips in his hand, and may even influence what choice the entire Lu Di makes in the end.
Zhao Hanshan was in a dilemma for a while, and without the instructions given by the son, it was really difficult for him to answer such a big thing.
Xun Yin didn't know what the two of them were thinking, and seeing that they were silent for a long time, he smiled again: "Zhao Gongzi, with your identity, you have come to Jeju to try to persuade us to return to Luoyang, isn't it enough to prove the importance of our Ludi to the situation in the entire north?"
"This official doesn't dare to say anything, but as long as Zhao Gongzi can trust us, I am six to seventy percent sure that Lu Di will return to Luoyang!"
When asked about Sun Ning's head this time, he didn't want to say it anymore, Zhao Hanshan glanced at this stand-in a little nervously, and then saw him smile and look up, looking back at the other party, I don't know when there was an extra folding fan in his hand, it opened it with a bang, and gently fanned it on his chest, but it really looked like his own son Zhizhu was in his hand.
"Xun Taishou, there is no basis for what you say. At least before I waited, whether it was Jeju or Ludi, everyone only knew that there was King Lu, but they didn't know that there were officials from all over the country such as you."
"Haha, Zhao Gongzi can't see Mount Tai anymore, didn't you see these two big businessmen present today? The salt and grain in the hands of the two of them can already control most of the Lu land, as long as they move their minds, the current peaceful and rich Lu land, within a month or two, there will be chaos."
Xun Yin said, and raised a glass to the two big businessmen, and the two of them laughed, completely confident.
"As for the lower officials, it is indeed not comparable to King Lu, but among the Jeju defenders, there are also many of my henchmen, and I dare not say that it is easy to cooperate with Zhao Gongzi or the people of Luoyang to take Jeju."
Zhao Hanshan regained his mind at this time, and then asked, "Then what do you want?" Is it just to ensure the peace of Ludi?"
"Of course, this is only one aspect, and the second is to protect all the rights and interests of my Ludi merchants from the influence of other forces." Xun Yin said, holding up three fingers, "Third, we hope you can help us eradicate the Qufu Kong Clan!"
If the previous two were Zhao Hanshan's quick response, then the sudden third one shocked his whole body, and almost spilled the wine in the cup he was holding.
Even the smile on Sun Ning's face froze, and he almost blurted out an exclamation.
This condition is indeed too amazing, Qufu Kong's family, that is a cultural and educational family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is the family of Yan Shenggong that the imperial courts of all dynasties will deliberately win over and seal.
It can be said that if you really want to talk about which side of Lu Di has the greatest influence, King Lu and the government have to be ranked behind the Kong family.
And more importantly, the influence of the Kong clan is not just a single land, but all over the world. As long as there are scholars, there are people who worship the Sage Confucius, and wherever the Confucian family is, it is a high-ranking existence.
Now, Xun Yin actually put forward such a condition with Zhao Qianzhe, isn't this letting them go to the enemy of the world's scholars?
Feeling their shock, Xun Yin smiled again: "Actually, I want to use your power to eradicate the Kong Clan, not only for myself, but also for your Luoyang side."
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Hanshan said in a muffled voice.
Under the violent impact, he had even forgotten to help "Li Ji" cover up a thing or two, and immediately asked first.
Fortunately, the other party didn't pay too much attention to this detail, and only looked at Sun Ning and said, "You may not know it, the most trustworthy person around King Lu now is the son of the Kong family, Kong Wenxi!"
"And this person has been calling you a thief all the time, trying his best to prevent King Lu from cooperating with you, but advocating cooperating with the ghost Rong in the north.
"Therefore, getting rid of the Kong clan is not only my need, but also the only way for you to achieve your wishes!"
Sun Ning gradually calmed down, and after glancing at Zhao Hanshan, he said vaguely: "This is a big matter, I need to think about it, and I will give you an answer later."
"Yes, but the opportunity is just such a moment, if you Luoyang are unwilling to cooperate with us, then we can only choose to cooperate with Liangzhou. Don't blame me for not explaining it beforehand."
Xun Yin nodded in response, and seemed to know that this matter was not so easy to agree, so he gave the other party time to consider and discuss.
Zhao Hanshan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but his heart was still tight.
Originally, because all forces were coveting Ludi, the current situation is complicated enough.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Jeju today, I found that the situation here was more complicated than originally expected, and this seller actually had an extra family out of thin air.
In this way, the variables are big, once King Lu has a decision, maybe someone will directly join forces with Xun Yin in order to recover the loss.
With such a nervous mind, this banquet naturally could not be enjoyed with peace of mind, and everyone toasted each other less.
Sun Ning became calm at this time, anyway, this kind of change has nothing to do with him, the more fierce the fight between them, the better it is for himself and the court.
And this performance fell into the eyes of Xun Yin, but they looked at this "Zhao Gongzi" a little higher, and felt that he really had the style of a general who was not in danger.
An hour later, the banquet worth a few hundred taels finally came to an end, and under Xun Yin's rather polite gift, Sun Ning and the two got up and walked out of the hall.
And just as Sun Ning passed by with the Great Salt Merchant Tian Threshold, he heard the latter say in a very soft voice in his ear: "Chengxi Appreciation Pavilion, waiting for you at any time!"
Sun Ning was slightly stunned by these words, but then he found that the other party's eyes fell on the thumb of his right hand.
There, he was wearing the jade wrench of the Zonghenghui......
