Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 272 The concubines all obeyed

"The one who will also Khan? Korka? What is he here for?" Zheng Shou asked Han Wei in surprise, he was waiting for him outside the palace gate so late, and he actually wanted to say this!

"Hehe, what else can I do, I'm anxious when I see the beggar coming to pay tribute!" Han Wei stroked his beard and replied, "These Ergu people are cheap!

Back then, I kept shouting to counterattack Yanjing, what was the result? asked the first emperor to be beaten up and all of them were honest. Hmph, then the Battle of Saihan silenced them for five years.

It is said that now there is a drought on the grassland, you see, immediately come to kneel and ask to see, to ask the emperor Zhou Jili. Hey, could it be that the grain and grass of my Great Song Dynasty were blown by the wind? It's easy to think about!"

"In this case, if you don't have to push it away, why should Han Gong bother about this little thing?" Zheng Shou's eyes rolled when he heard him say this, and he felt that it shouldn't be so simple, so he smiled and asked.

"If it's a trivial matter, I naturally won't trouble Tonglan (Zheng Shouzi)." Han Wei thought about the wording and carefully told him, "You still can't see what the emperor means?

He wanted to push the beggars in front and erect a big banner, which was equivalent to nominally recognizing that the Urabu was the orthodox inheritance of Egu.

The purpose of the jade seal left in the hands of the beggar was to point out a leader to the Egu tribes? But the Kercos were clearly not so stupid."

"Huh? How?"

"It is said that they mean not to recognize the status of Ullah, claiming that everything in the steppe depends on strength, not bigger than someone's outstretched fist!"

Zheng Shou smiled: "That is to say, even if you Ula has a big fist, it will be useless if you can't beat it?"

"That's what it means."

"Isn't that good? They fight for themselves, and we can just stand by and watch."

"The problem is that the Kalkas are now dissatisfied, claiming that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is biased, and there are some disrespectful words in his words."

Zheng Shou frowned: "What do you mean, does he still plan to raise a teacher to ask if he is guilty?"

"Isn't that what it means?" Han Wei sighed: "Now you look at these veterans who can fight in the previous dynasty, all of them are old-fashioned, I'm worried that it won't end well if it really starts!"

"What does Han Gong mean ......?"

"I want to do this, isn't the emperor going to give the title of beggar Khan and the prince's honor guard? Let's let the emperor give Yebi Khan the same treatment, they will definitely not be convinced by each other, so let them fight."

Han Wei made a scheming look: "In this way, they can't say anything, if they want to compare their strength, they can go to the Ula Department to compare, and it can't be relied on us!"

"Understood." Zheng Shou thought to himself, this kid must have received benefits from the envoy of Yebi Khan, how can I let you have such a thing? "It's just ......, it may not be easy to convince Your Majesty of this matter." He said with a look of embarrassment.

"Why?"

"The beggar Khan came to Shangjing to pay tribute, and he was the first to say to the emperor, 'Your Majesty, the Great Khan of Ergu, it is natural to give him the treatment of a prince.

Then he is also Khan, he is still nesting on the grassland and has not moved, why did he tell the emperor to give him a prince too? It doesn't make sense!"

"It's ......." Han said that this person is like this, he always does things without a lot of thought, and his ears are soft, so Zheng Shou is blocked by a simple reason, and he doesn't know what to do.

Seeing that he had successfully pinched him, the corners of Zheng Shou's mouth resurfaced with a smile: "Han Gong doesn't have to worry too much, it's not like there's no way.

It's just ......, I have to ask the envoy carefully, what can they come up with that makes the emperor tempted? If the conditions are right, maybe there will be another deal to do!"

"Oh? What does Tonglan (Zheng Shouzi) want him to come up with in exchange?"

"Eh, this is not up to me, I have to talk to him face-to-face, it's like doing business, how do you know what the bottom line of each other is if you don't talk about it? Even if it is discussed, whether it is appropriate or not, it is another matter, and it will take a few back and forth, where is it so easy?"

Han Wei thinks about it. However, he regarded himself as a high-minded person, and he was impatient to do such a thing as bargaining, so he nodded and agreed:

"Okay, I'll send someone to see you, and Tong Lan can go and talk. But don't agree to talk about anything first, let's talk about it after we ventilate.

How?"

"It's up to Shousuke-sama!" Saying that, Zheng Shou shook it respectfully, and smiled secretly in his heart: Hehe, it's done!

When the matter was negotiated, Han Wei asked the carriage to stop. At this time, they arrived at the intersection of Qinglong East Street and Suiyang West Road, where Zheng Shou changed his sedan chair and returned to his own house in Xisanfang, and Han Wei's mansion was in Xijiufang next to Tonglin Garden.

A few days later, a Qing guest who was familiar with Han Wei really passed the house, but he was followed by a two-horse four-wheeled vehicle decorated with gold and jade luodian.

This kind of car has just appeared in the Shangjing City, but some people heard that the Inner Worship Bureau (equivalent to the Internal Affairs Bureau) purchased two cars for His Majesty and the Empress respectively, so the wealthy families in the city asked each other where to buy this car.

At present, it is said that there are only six to buy, namely King Ding and King Li (the widow of the first emperor, the younger brother of Emperor Jingwu), the Hou Li Mansion of Changping, and the Bosun Mansion of Wenchang (Yun Guifei's mother's house), and the whereabouts of the other two are unknown, but I didn't expect Zheng Shou to see it tonight, but ...... He wasn't sure who the owner of the car was.

The car drove directly into the mezzanine from the side door, and when the Qingke pointed to the person behind him, Zheng Shou was stunned, female! This must be a woman! Although she was wrapped in a cloak, she couldn't hide her graceful figure.

Oops, it can't be Shousuke-sama's doing, right? As soon as Zheng Shou came up with this thought, he was extinguished: "Impossible, Han Lizhi (Han Zhizi) does not have such a mind and ability!"

Zheng Shou confidently understood Han Wei, and suddenly doubted in his heart: "Could it be that he hasn't seen this person directly, but just listened to others lobbying in the middle?"

"Lord Zheng, I heard Lord Han say that you want to have a face-to-face interview? I brought someone to you, and I can't participate in the rest of the matter, so I'll leave!"

That Qingke was also interested, but from his mouth it also confirmed Fang Cai Zheng Shou's conjecture - Han Wei didn't see the other party at all, he might just be out of greed, so he should have an errand to help the other party speak.

Hmph, I want to take advantage and I don't have the ability, you stupid! Zheng Shou scolded in his heart.

"Wait! The elder brother of the reputation doesn't make it clear before and after, so he throws people to the old man, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Zheng Shou and this Qingke, surnamed Qi, had also met with Han Wei a few times, and said deliberately half-seriously.

"Ahem, does this need to be that clear?" Qi Yuzhi turned around and whispered hello to the woman first, and then asked Zheng Shou to speak in the signing room, and whispered to him:

"Why should you be too serious? You know people like us, the so-called Qingke, it's not uncommon to chat with adults and have fun, but we always have to find a way to eat and feed the family. If you want to say that the Eugens don't hate us?

But since people whispered and begged to come to the door, there was no reason to slap their faces, do you say yes?

It's just a thread under it, if you don't look good, you refuse, and you can't get in the way. If you are satisfied that you can continue to talk, it is to appreciate the food and clothing of the family in Xi'an, and I thank you here.

In short, the big idea must be yours, and as a broker, you can only build a bridge and not cross the bridge, so don't take it to heart."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at it, and lowered his voice again: "You are a pillar in the court, and you will not hide it from you, even if you don't ask now, you will make it clear to you when you go back."

This woman's Qi also saw her for the first time, but people specified that she could call the shots, so she was a little confused, and I didn't know where she came from.

But in the Yuyin Pavilion, she is a character who frowns and is so frightened that her heart trembles, and it is impossible for ordinary people to spend a hundred taels of silver to invite her to come out! As for the relationship between her and the Egu people, I really don't know, and I don't dare to ask too much.

If you do what we do, just do it, and you know that too much will die quickly, ......!"

Zheng Shou realized that it was not Han Wei's problem, but that a leather merchant had always contacted Mr. Qi, but at the critical moment, the guy did not show up, but let this woman come forward. The cunning Ergu people, Zheng Shou sneered.

He didn't know how deep this surnamed Qi and the Ergu people had mixed in, so he didn't dare to say too much, so he sent him away first.

Then after thinking about it, Zheng Shou asked the housekeeper to invite the woman in, and he himself watched her come in from behind the bookcase, let the housekeeper go out first, and then asked, "So the girl is an Ergus?"

"The little woman did things for the Great Khan, but she wasn't the Egu people." The woman's voice was soft and clear, and it sounded quite pleasant.

"Oh? Please look up and talk back." After Zheng Shou finished speaking, he saw the woman slowly raise her head, and suddenly it seemed that the fire candles in the house were lit up a little. "Are you really Han?" Zheng Shou was surprised.

"What's so strange about this, my lord? You don't want to say that concubines are abusive, do you? But the little girl was born in the grassland, which is my hometown, and the concubine melted with them, but I never thought that I was sent to the Central Plains at the age of eight, and it was ten years before anyone remembered me again."

"Alas! It's also pitiful!" Zheng Shou nodded: "Dare to ask what the girl is called?"

"The concubine is a small character and a small yuan, and now with her mother's surname, she has a Chinese name of Lin Xiangyu."

"Good name, girl, please be seated!" Zheng Shou saw her saluting and sitting down in a proper manner, and understood that she must be a descendant of the Han people who retreated to Harar with the previous dynasty. "Is there anyone else in the house?" He made a statement of concern.

"My grandfather died in the fifteenth year of his arrival in the steppe, my father was a squire in the Ministry of Works, and my brother served in the Great Khan's army."

"It turned out to be the queen of the eunuch!" Zheng Shou sighed, "But how could they let you go to the Central Plains and enter the Red Mansion to study art? Shouldn't we stay on the grassland?"

Xiangyu smiled bitterly: "If I don't come, there will naturally be others. The Great Khan needs people like us, and we have to come, not to mention that everyone is looking forward to returning to the Central Plains and Yanjing. If we don't come, my father and brother will have to bury their bones in the grassland."

"Understood." Zheng Shou nodded: "Then, you will be asked by Khan to do this, and the agreement reached between us can also be regarded as a contract to be observed, right?"

"Yes!" Xiangyu nodded: "What the Great Khan wants is actually very simple, what the court wants to canonize is not a weak beggar, but a Khan who is like an eagle. Let him take care of the grassland, and His Majesty will be able to achieve peace."

"Girl's words are a bit inconsistent, don't you feel it yourself?" Zheng Shou turned his head and smiled.

"On the one hand, he gritted his teeth and wanted to go back to Yanjing, and on the other hand, he pretended to be pitiful and hoped that His Majesty would not canonize the beggar, and asked to change the title to Khan. What kind of truth is this?

You must know that people beggars come thousands of miles to Shangjing to worship, and what must be? I only sent a woman to talk to me. Think about it, if you were Your Majesty, who would you trust to give you the white and black silk?"

"If it is handed over to the beggar, it is tantamount to making the sheep a wolf, how can the wolves be convinced? There will be war on the steppe!" Xiangyu affirmed:

"The war and turmoil in the steppe may be what the emperor would like, but don't forget that the Great Wall has been crossed many times, and it is not as safe and proper as the emperor imagined.

Besides, there are so many Han people outside the border wall, can the imperial court endure the pain and give up, and not save it? At that time, it will not be everywhere and loopholes, and it will be impossible for the imperial court to be alone!"

"You're threatening me?" Zheng Shou pulled down his face.

"The little woman just told the truth." Xiangyu knelt down as she spoke, "If you are offended, please forgive your concubine's young ignorance.

However, my lord, although we fled into the steppe with the Great Khan, we have never forgotten that we are Han Chinese, and we are always thinking about returning to our hometown, and we must return to the education of the sages and rituals.

Although the beggars came to worship, they were only the ones closest to the Khan's court, and there were actually few Han people.

The most concentrated Han people are in the Huila, Seyan and Kerr tribes, the first two received refugees who fled one after another in the early years of the dynasty and those who believed in the Zodiac Sect, but in the Kerr tribes, it was the Han army that was marching west with the army that year, and it was the most elite 50,000 households!

The descendants of these people are still serving in the Korga, and many of them are lieutenant generals and colonels, so they cannot be ignored!

I have been here for ten years, and I know that the court has always considered the Korkor to be the greatest danger in the steppe. But if these people are cut off from the idea of returning home, that is the most terrible ......."

"Alright, you get up first, get up and speak." Zheng Shou suddenly had some doubts, he felt that this woman claimed to represent the will of the Great Khan, but how to prove it?

"You want the court to canonize Yebi Khan, this and that

What does it matter to the Han army?" He asked slowly.

At this time, he saw a flash of joy in Xiangyu's eyes, she was young after all.

"That's right," Xiangyu hurriedly said, "There is news from the steppe, and the Khan has personally led 270,000 people south."

"Huh? Are you right?" Zheng Shou was also taken aback. The Ministry of War had speculated that there was such a possibility, but it didn't expect .......

"It's true. There has been no white plague on the grasslands for many years, and everyone knows that this year must be a year of great drought.

And he will go south to eat all the tribes of the south, and at the same time to take as much of the people, livestock, and grain as he can!" Xiangyu sighed:

"That's the way it is on the prairie, if you don't want to be someone else's slave, you must let someone else be a slave, otherwise you will have a hard time. But it's also an opportunity!

If he is canonized, his ambitions will inevitably swell, and the Han army will lead him further south.

When approaching the border wall, ask the court to send troops, and the name of mediation is actually to respond, so that they can break away from the court, and even point out his weak points to the court, and the court can succeed in the battle, and my father and brother will be able to return south smoothly!"

Zheng Shou was still listening to her words at first, but later he felt a little out of the way. Hast thou not also sent by the Khan? Why did you get to the topic of the Han army generals returning to the south again?

He felt more and more outrageous, and he muttered without speaking. Seeing this, Xiangyu was a little anxious, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Xiangyu is like an arrow like a father and brother, ask for the help of adults and fulfillment!"

"This ......," Zheng Shou looked embarrassed, "I'm just an official of the ministry, and what I say doesn't count."

"Your Majesty has a very important position in the Jinghu Clan, is there anything you can't do if you promise to help? As long as the emperor changes his mind, ......," Xiangyu's face suddenly turned crimson:

"Whatever the lord commands, the concubines will obey." The voice of the last few words is getting smaller and smaller, and after speaking, he covered his face with his sleeves and was full of shyness.

"Hehe, I patronized and played, and I came back in the evening to operate as fierce as a tiger! If you think it's okay, don't care about the must-read, recommended, or monthly pass, and vote for it!"
