Liu Ke did not hide the news that Donghu wanted to negotiate peace with the Great Han, and once it spread, Chao Chinese Wu added a bit of passivity and self-defense.

Now that the land of a state is in hand, and there are ships to resist a little, we should recuperate and accumulate strength, so why fight hard with Donghu?

Although He Kun didn't want to take the initiative to start a war with Donghu, he was a person who could be a courtier.

The emperor handed over the matter to him, and he had to do his best, as long as the knife did not cut at him, it would be done on any minister or family.

And judging from the emperor's handwriting, some people earn money by doing this kind of black work.

As a result, He Kun has been trying his best to lobby various families.

Especially in the family, there are officials in the court and high-ranking families.

But this kind of family is the most difficult to persuade.

The Wang family is one of them, the Wang family used to be a big family in Yangzhou, in order to escape the war, moved to Qiongzhou, and the family has a big business.

And Wang Zhao, the head of the Wang family, is in charge of a country's diplomacy.

Although there is no diplomacy at all in the Han Dynasty now, the status and qualifications are there.

The only one who can stabilize one end of the court is Yang Zhong.

Wang Zhao's mansion was much more generous than Yang Zhong's.

The gate is high, there is a plaque, behind the door is a courtyard, the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and there is a pool, the pond is quiet lotus shadow.

In the middle is the hall, look around in the hall, exquisite and luxurious, hang famous calligraphy and painting, the outside does not lose the quality of simplicity, and the inside does not lose the gorgeous wind.

It was the fourth time that He Kun had come to the Wang family's mansion, and he hadn't even seen Wang Zhao's people in the first three times, but this fourth time he finally saw it.

But after hitting the wall three times, he already knew Wang Zhao's attitude in his heart.

Rao is so, he still painstakingly persuaded:

"Your Majesty deliberately went to sea to subdue the pirates, and transferred ships from Yizhou in order to fight with the Donghu Naval Division."

"If you just want to stick to a state in peace, I'm afraid that something will happen!"

Wang Zhao was tall, his face was full of wrinkles, but his expression was serious, his eyes were sharp, and he looked arrogant, but the most obvious thing was the long beard that hung down to his chest.

"Lord He, the old man is in the position of the great Honglu, and he is conscientious and conscientious, but he has different political views with His Majesty for a while, so why is there any trouble?"

Wang Zhao took a sip of tea:

"The court will discuss everything, everything must pay attention to a discussion, Your Majesty has the style of Gaozu, but Gaozu is not perfect, if something happens, you have to discuss it with Liuhou and Xiao Xiangguo!"

"Donghu is invincible, and there are nearly 1,000 warships and sailors."

"Your Majesty is here, of course, bringing back usable people and usable things."

"The Donghu Sailor on the sea, right there, Lord He saw it, do you think that it can be repelled with pirates and old ships that have fallen into disrepair?"

"More than enough to defend, not enough to attack!"

He Kun hurriedly explained: "Since Your Majesty can recover Qiongzhou from the hands of the Donghu Southern Army, why can't you repel the Donghu Water Division?" ”

Wang Zhao took another sip of tea unhurriedly:

"If it is on land, the old man will naturally trust Your Majesty, and he can also trust my Han family."

"Even if Your Majesty wants to raise troops to the north, forcibly break through the Donghu Southern Army, and attack Gaozhou, the old man will definitely help."

"It's just that on this sea, there is a huge gap between the enemy and us, and the victory or defeat is really beyond the influence of individuals!"

He Kun looked at Wang Zhao's long beard and nodded casually:

"Your Majesty has not rested at night these days."

Wang Zhao didn't know why, and seemed to be concerned:

"Then Lord He has to be more careful, Your Majesty can't work so hard because of Chen Binghai, a native of Donghu, and his body is important!"

"If you agree to the Donghu peace talks, you don't have to work so hard, Your Majesty has been fighting again and again since he ascended the throne, even if he is young, he should have a good rest!"

He Kun continued:

"I heard that many people's homes have been robbed."

“......”

Wang Zhao was excited, and his drooping eyelids suddenly lifted:

"Your Majesty doesn't want to follow Emperor Huan's old story??!"

Wang Zhao was shocked in his heart, the decline of the Han family began with the second emperor Huan Ling, and Wu Hou also mentioned that "I didn't sigh and hate Yu Huan and Lingye", these two are recognized as faint monarchs, and it doesn't hurt for the Han courtiers to scold.

Emperor Ling, who opened his crotch pants and sealed the dog as an official to raise the price of the donkey, was really mediocre, but Emperor Huan still said.

When Emperor Huan ascended the throne, there was still a great general Liang Ji who leaned towards the government and the opposition, because Emperor Huan's throne was raised by Liang Ji.

Liang Ji received more courtesy than Xiao He, more than Deng Yu in the breadth of his fief, and more generous than Huo Guang, and controlled the government for nearly 20 years.

is such a minister, who was later given by Emperor Huan, who can get rid of this level of ministers, the last one is Emperor Han He who created the dragon of Yongyuan, and the last one is called Yingzheng.

According to historical records, Emperor Huan had a secret discussion with his cronies in the thatched house, and finally killed Liang Ji together.

But the folk rumors are quite interesting.

Emperor Huan stole Liang Ji to death by stealing.

Emperor Huan first let people spread rumors that he liked to steal things, and then deliberately went to the minister's house to steal.

After being "infamous", Emperor Huan deliberately made a bet with others, saying that he was going to steal things from the Liang Ji General's Mansion.

But Emperor Huan's skills were not good, and he was caught by the people in Liang Ji's mansion.

However, he did not give up because of this, and said that what was not stolen in the General's Mansion must be stolen by strength.

After Emperor Huan came to steal things again, the subordinates in Liang Ji's mansion didn't care about him.

There's no way, after all, it's the emperor, in addition to sweeping the emperor's face, can you beat him?

So, Emperor Huan relied on this method to steal evidence of Liang Ji's corruption and perversion of the law, and finally successfully executed Liang Ji on this ground.

There is a nose and an eye among the people, and many people take this matter as a fact.

Wang Zhao naturally thought that the current emperor wanted to use a similar method to steal the evidence of the crimes in various mansions.

To be honest, after being an official for so many years, no one is clean in their hands, and if they use this coercion, maybe some people will choose to acquiesce in the war with Donghu.

If there are enemies outside, they will always be safe, after all, even the arrogant Yuwen worships the Yuwen clan behind him, and only after the rebellion can the emperor free up time to deal with it.

If peace is negotiated, wouldn't the emperor just use these incriminating evidence to deal with them one by one?

"Ridiculous!"

"Ridiculous!!"

Wang Zhao put the teacup on the table, blew his beard and glared:

"The old man has acted openly and honestly in his life, and His Majesty can take the soldiers and horses to the old man's mansion to search!"

"Unbeatable is invincible, the soldiers and horses of the Donghu people will not be reduced because of these means, and the ships will not sink into the sea because of this!"

He also thought that the bandits in the South China Sea had been eliminated, so he would let his family organize sea trade to make money!

Although the Donghu people blocked the waters of Qiongzhou, they only blocked official ships and civilian ships and controlled them.

The ships of the family will definitely not be guarded so strictly.

Originally, he spent a lot of money because he was looking for He Kun to ransom the clansmen in the prison, if there was a fight, where would he go to earn back the lost money?

And if Qiongzhou is in a state of peace and does not use troops in vain, he can also let the Wang caravan smuggle some iron armor a little.

When the time comes, whether it is for his own use or as a gift to the court to show loyalty, the initiative is in his hands.

At that time, the emperor didn't dare to squeeze the family like this anymore, not to mention kneeling and licking, at least standing and licking.

As for whether the emperor can use the means of stealing to search for some incriminating evidence in his mansion, Wang Zhao is not afraid.

Although he can't do anything to the emperor who enters and leaves the ministers' palaces on the pretext of stealing, he can hide his things!

It's not just him, it's expected everyone else to do the same.

No one is stupid, there is Liang Ji's case first, how can he put those things in the mansion openly?

Find a place like an authentic secret room and hide it, even if the emperor treats your house as his own, then you won't be able to find it!

So, the more Wang Zhao looked at He Kun's fat face, the more angry he became.

It was this emperor's lackey who cheated him a lot of money.

I can't do anything to him, behind this dog thing is not only the emperor, but also the Beipu He family, and the family that has been co-opted, which is no worse than the Wang family.

Seeing Wang Zhao glaring at him, He Kun's face did not change.

You stare at me, and I'm making your money.

He remembered that there were five high-grade horses in the Wang clan who were over fifty years old and were caught by Jia Wuji, which was three hundred yuan.

He took forty percent, that is, he earned one hundred and twenty yuan, and after deducting the cost of pulling people up and down, he also earned fifty yuan of money.

Angry or not? It's useless to be angry, your money is mine.

Therefore, He Kun still smiled:

"Lord Wang, don't forget the Yuwen clan and the other four, now whenever I pass by the street, it seems that I can smell it!"

Wang Zhao smiled, his long beard trembled, and he choked:

"Dog, of course the nose is smart, Lord He, the old man is old, so he won't send it."

finally met each other, but ended up in an unhappy situation.

He Kun was also single, and left.

Being a dog for the emperor can earn you money, which is a dog basin and a dog chain, which is also golden!

After sending He Kun away, Wang Zhao was still a little restless, and he couldn't steal anything, but this showed the emperor's firm attitude towards the main battle.

He went to Yang's Mansion first.

Yang Zhong is the head of the important ministers of the dynasty and the middle of the family, and he was a staunch lord and faction before, and this time is no exception.

It's just that Yang Zhong is sick again.

"I just said that the old lady still supports that Xiao Yuanchang, and insists that the civil and military go to Zhibi Port to welcome the saint, and now it's good, when the sea breeze blows, I'm sick again."

Wang Zhao asked the servants of the Yang Mansion to bring a few words of greeting, and found a few acquaintances, and after a little contact, he had a bottom in his heart.

Most people have the same idea as him, and finally occupied Qiongzhou, so let's stabilize it first.

It just so happened that Donghu took the initiative to negotiate peace again, so why bother to hit the eggs with stones and force a battle?

He found someone to probe Xiao Yuanchang's tone again, and the results were ambiguous.

But that's enough.

Xiao Yuanchang is the emperor's confidant and confidant, if even he does not have a firm main battle, it means that there are indeed not many people in the main battle in the court.

Wang Zhao thought about it, but he still had to persuade the emperor in private.

The first time I asked to see him, I didn't see it.

The second time, the third time, I didn't see it.

Seeing that three days had passed, and the emperor had not even gone to court, Wang Zhao was very puzzled.

Could it be that the emperor really went to the palace of his ministers at night to steal and sleep during the day?
