Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the bearded merchant hurriedly smiled and persuaded Zeng Liang: "Don't be angry, adults. Although Ge Gong's words were straighter, what he said was not unreasonable. Indeed, such a great matter should be carefully discussed, lest there be trouble in the future, so that the small ones will have no chance to defend themselves. ”

Zeng Liang looked at his face, he didn't want to be angry, he only glanced at Ge Mingwei, nodded and said: "The merchant is extremely right, I should discuss with Ge Hanlin again, I am too hasty today to disturb you." ”

He got up and shook his beard, replied twice, "don't worry", then asked the secretary to take him out, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and left in a hurry. After this meeting, the beard basically figured out the intentions of the imperial court, returned to Beitang, and talked with several colleagues, all of whom believed that the imperial court would make its own guns and cannons to strengthen its armaments, and their prosperous business would be hit; Most of the people have a hard-line attitude, but Luo Beard has other opinions, advocating cooperation with Zeng Liang in order to seek more far-reaching interests. After all, he is an old man here, and he is deeply respected, and everyone did not refute it, so he went to the county town to inquire about the news.

"Master Ge, you don't understand," Zeng Liang lit the lamp and sighed as he looked at Ge Mingwei behind him, "Now that he is willing to make this mutually beneficial deal with us, it shows that this person is willing to obey the imperial court." As long as you negotiate with him, you don't have to worry about others not signing this new covenant. What's more, it's a good deal, isn't it? The longer the negotiation drags on, the more unfavorable it becomes, and if adults like to cause trouble to the court, I didn't say it. ”

Ge Mingwei was still unconvinced: "Then please explain, why do you let them listen to your household?" ”

Zeng Liang suddenly sneered: "This is interesting, I don't care about them, do you want the military department to take care of it?" Lord Ge doesn't talk to the thieves! ”

How could Ge Ming hear this, his chest filled with anger, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames: "Zeng Xiangzhi! I am inseparable from the leaf thief, and I am also inseparable from all private parties! If you want to be the second year of Liu Zhen, I will never allow it! ”

Zeng Liang put his hands behind his back, took a few quick steps forward, stared at him fiercely, and said, "Don't forget that the power is in my hands." Wait, you won't be able to do it. With that, he waved his sleeves out of the room and slammed the door hard.

Tomorrow, Zeng Liang really couldn't hold back his temper, and wrote a letter to impeach Ge Mingwei; And Mr. Ge is used to being respected by the Chen Party on weekdays, and he is confronted by such a barbaric person who does not know how to be polite, how can he swallow this breath, and he also wrote a letter to blame Zeng Liang, and the negotiation matter was delayed for a day.

Lu Zhixian, who was the director of the procurement department, received these two letters one after another and was stunned. He never thought that the two would have a conflict, and now that this incident happened, he was very troubled, and there was no way to solve it. After all, the two of them belong to the 'Qingliu' faction, and they will hurt themselves and be angry with either side.

When Ye Yongjia heard this, he was overjoyed, and said to Cai Xianqing: "My plan is considered a success. Lu Zhixian is cowardly and indecisive by nature, and has no opinions, I just need to go and persuade him, and he will obey his words and have nothing to refute. So he was confident and went to his house alone.

"My lord, how long have you been thinking about it, it's time to rest."

The servant put the food on the table in front of Lu Zhixian, and saw that he was still holding his head, frowning, and the bamboo pen that was not stained with ink was turning around in his hand.

"Well, let's put the rice first, I'll eat it in a moment." Lu Zhixian didn't even look at him, and replied perfunctorily.

How did you know that the servant did not move a step for a long time, and stood by him; Lu Zhixian didn't hear the sound of footsteps, and when he caught a glimpse of him still there, he asked, "What else do you have?" Why not? ”

The servant bowed down and said, "The little one is afraid of disturbing your thoughts, so he doesn't dare to alarm." I want to tell the master, Lord Ye is here, and now he is waiting in the atrium, can you invite him in? ”

"I have nothing to do with Ye Dang, he came to see what I was doing...... Lu Zhixian muttered to himself for a while, and then beckoned to the servant: "Call him to come." ”

"The younger generation has worshiped Lu Shangshu!" When Ye Yongjia walked in, he deliberately stretched his voice long and gave him a deep bow.

Lu Zhixian naturally didn't dare to scorn him, straightened his clothes, and hurriedly got down from the chair: "Lord Ye has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is like looking at the sun and the moon below, how can he call himself a senior in vain?" You must not be so humble! ”

"It's you who are too humble," Ye Yongjia stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "I heard that there is some discord over there in Beitang, so I came to ask about the situation, how is it, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Lu Zhixian groaned and said: "My lord, I don't know, the two of them have reached the point of incompatibility, and impeaching each other really makes me in a dilemma." With that, he led him to the table and read the two letters.

"This letter cannot be submitted to Your Majesty!" Ye Yongjia's face changed suddenly.

Lu Zhixian didn't say a word, and thought to himself: "The candidates are all arranged by this person, this time there is an incident, he, the leader of the Ye Party, can't persuade him, and the Chen Party won't care, and there is no hope of completely solving it." I was also fated, but I was affected by his incident, and I became a sinner together! ’

"Good! I have a plan! Ye Yongjia slapped his leg and shouted twice, which shocked Lu Zhixian, and his eyes flashed with golden light: "Then say it quickly!" ”

"The struggle between the two is really a struggle for power, and the power is different, and naturally there are huge differences, and no one can reconcile them. The secretary should exercise the authority of the chief of the procurement department, send the document back, and reply, 'Whoever quarrels again, and cannot be single-minded, will take away the power of the chief and deputy envoys, and choose another person to take his place.'

"If they only listen, then it is better; If they can't listen, then in order not to benefit each other, the two sides will be reluctant to dismiss them, and they will write a request to the department to give orders, and they will only carry out the orders according to the orders and will not interfere again. Wouldn't everyone be happy that the direction of the negotiation would be up to you? ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhixian asked suspiciously: "You are so sure, but what if they don't get the book?" ”

Ye Yongjia smiled: "This is that you don't understand people's hearts." With power, there is only competition in their eyes, even if they all fight for nothing in the end, he is also comfortable to see that the other party has no power. What's more, there are you in charge of them, they choose the lesser of two evils, compared to being taken from office, this is the best result. ”

When Lu Zhixian heard this, there was still a little hesitation in his eyes, and he said cowardly: "But I don't have any idea about this negotiation, in case I can't figure out the temperament of the businessman and ruin the negotiation, won't my colleagues all come to me?" I'm worried that no one will carry this black cauldron. ”

Ye Yongjia saw that this was a good opportunity, so he took the opportunity to lower his body forward, stretched out his hand, and whispered: "I know them very well. Otherwise...... Leave this responsibility to me and let me intervene? Rest assured, if something happens, the responsibility lies with me. ”
