"Hey......

Another long sigh came from Ke Yongsheng's mouth, his face was full of frustration and indignation, looking at Zhuge Qingyun sitting in front of him, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

I thought I had said that I had moved Qin Yude to surrender to the imperial court, but in the end, the other party opened his mouth and put forward many conditions that the imperial court would not be able to agree to. This obviously means that their errand of lobbying in Kaifeng this time is completely messed up.

What's even more disturbing is that Qin Yude actually semi-forcibly put them under house arrest in Kaifeng City, and let them write the transcript in their own name.

Yes, the recital that Sun Ning received was simply Zhuge Qingyun, and they were coerced and had to write it. Otherwise, with their minds and knowledge, they would not have thought that the imperial court would accede to such many unreasonable demands.

"Master Shangshu, aren't you worried?" Finally, after not knowing how many times he sighed, Ke Yongsheng couldn't help but speak.

"Don't worry, they won't really do anything to us, our safety is not an issue." Zhuge Qingyun responded.

"The lower official is not referring to his own safety, but if this errand is not done well, how can we explain to His Majesty and the court." Ke Yongsheng said with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, you won't blame us for this." He still looked calm, "Moreover, this matter is not completely out of the way."

"And a turnaround? But what is it?" Ke Yongsheng suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

To be honest, he really didn't see that there was still room for turning around in this matter, anyway, seeing that Qin Yude had a fearless appearance, he would definitely not withdraw those conditions.

"You say, is this what he means by Qin Yude alone, or by all the generals and officials of the Pingtian Army in Kaifeng City?" Zhuge Qingyun suddenly threw out such a question, which made Ke Yongsheng a little difficult to answer.

He thought for a moment before he said, "It should be ...... He and his subordinates decided on it, right?"

"I don't see it that way, those harsh conditions, no reasonable person will think that the court will agree. It's just that Qin Yude is arrogant alone, will the entire Kaifeng generals and others be so self-righteous?"

"What does Shangshu-sama mean...... Our chance is in these people?" Ke Yongsheng's eyebrows jumped, and he understood.

But he still had some worries in his heart: "Can we really reach out to those people and convince them?"

"There are some things, how do you know if you can do it without trying? Besides, don't forget, we are not really under complete house arrest, as long as we don't leave Kaifeng City, we can still come and go quite freely."

Zhuge Qingyun smiled hesitantly, "I can say that this is the biggest mistake Qin Yude has made. I also believe that there must be a few people in power in this city who are sober and will not follow him all the way to the dark!"

After a pause, he slowly reported a name: "For example, Qin Yuxiang!"

Qin Yuxiang stood in front of his brother with a solemn expression, waiting for the other party to react.

As the so-called tiger brothers, father and son soldiers go into battle, the three brothers of the Qin family have been fighting side by side since the official start of the army, until today.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the concerted efforts of the three brothers that they have occupied more than 20 cities such as Kaifeng today.

Compared with the third Qin Yuheng, a martial artist who can only fight, Qin Yuxiang, as the second eldest, has a much more detailed mind, so it is naturally easier to see some problems.

For example, the conditions proposed by his brother for surrender to the Da Yue court were very problematic.

After thinking about it for a few days, he decided to ask in person, which can be regarded as a disguised exhortation.

After being silent for a while, Qin Yude slowly spoke: "You are not the first person to persuade me, many people say that I am playing with fire, and the request I put forward is something that the Dayue Imperial Court cannot agree. I also know that if they can accept two or three of those conditions, it will be enough to give us face."

"Then big brother, you still do this? Isn't it plain to offend people? Once it really angers them, it will make the court reckless

When the soldiers attack, we will be in danger." Qin Yuxiang was surprised.

Qin Yude smiled, "Do you remember how we dealt with the opposite merchants who wanted to push down our prices when we first sold cloth?"

Unlike people like Zhao Guangxiao and Li Wannian, who already had prominent family backgrounds, before Qin Yude raised his army, the three brothers were just ordinary merchants, specializing in running around and selling cloth, which was the most ordinary businessman.

This question made Qin Yuxiang stunned slightly, and then nodded and said, "How can I forget this? It's nothing more than taking advantage of the momentum of a few other companies to raise the price of our cloth, and then sell it at a good price after a slight price reduction."

"Isn't it the same today?

"Luoyang and Chang'an, as well as the Guirong people, are his cloth merchants, and the imperial court in the south is the opponent we want to sell for a good price. So if we don't shout the price higher, how can we sell the best price?

"This offer, the conditions, is just a temptation, I just want to see what the attitude of the imperial court over there is. I believe that our value must be great to them, otherwise they would not have sent a high-ranking priest as a lobbyist."

"However, our situation is ......" Qin Yuxiang was also on stage that day, listening to Zhuge Qingyun and Ke Yongsheng's singing and harmonizing rhetoric, in fact, he also agreed with their views in his heart.

For the current Kaifeng and his brother, returning to the imperial court is the safest and most worry-free way.

"We are in a dangerous situation, but the initiative is still in our own hands.

"Then what Zhuge Qingyun said may have some truth, the Zhao family must be eyeing our Kaifeng, but what if we can give him another greater benefit?"

"What's in it?"

"Emperor!"

Qin Yude's answer made Qin Yuxiang fall into surprise again, and it took him a while to understand: "You mean, elect him as the emperor, and then we will pay him courtesy?"

"Yes, we have been in trouble for more than ten years, and we have never been able to have a real political power and set up a new emperor. The problem is that the three parties are holding each other back, and neither of them can overpower the other two and take the lead.

"But if we fully supported his Zhao family, the situation would be completely different. And the conditions I offered are actually very simple, let him give up Xingyang to me!"

Qin Yuxiang breathed shortly, now he really understood, it turned out that his brother had always had only one goal, and that was Xingyang.

Therefore, he and the imperial court in the south put forward the conditions for this city, and in the conditions proposed by Zhao Guangxiao, there was also a request for Xingyang.

This is what he calls a buying and selling strategy, the price is clearly marked, and the bidder wins.
