Chapter 127: Negotiation Terms: The Proposal of the King
"Oops! King Ming comes, eats vegetables and eats vegetables. ”
"Please drink this cup to the fullest of King Ming!"
It seemed that Zhao Mingyuan's face was displeased, and at this time, the two beauties beside him, one on the left and one on the right, hurriedly persuaded each other softly to ease the atmosphere.
The two of them, one of them is the saint Wan Wan of the Yin Sect, and the other is Wan Wan's junior sister Bai Qing'er.
This long-known woman was unusually beautiful, and what caught her attention most was her jet-black and shiny hair, which set off her beautiful face and skin.
She is dressed in plain clothes, elegant and lovely, giving people a solemn and reserved impression, but her bright and beautiful eyes with affection, combined with her innate slightly shy and moving demeanor, few men can resist it.
Although her appearance lacks the thrilling shock of Wanwan, it has an approachable and intimate feeling, which makes Zhao Mingyuan think of the words "sister next door" and "little jasper" to describe it.
Now, Bai Qing'er and Wan Wan are leaning on Zhao Mingyuan's side left and right, one pouring wine, and the other serving Zhao Mingyuan meticulously.
In a way, they are the insurance for this negotiation.
It seems that this is also the reason why the Demon Gate brought the two of them who are not strong enough to participate in this negotiation.
It has the right not to use it, and it will be invalid when it expires.
So, Zhao Mingyuan ignored the few people in the demon gate who were still in the convex shape, unceremoniously enjoyed the service of the two women, and ate and drank alone.
This appearance of no one around made everyone angry.
Although their demon sect has always been suppressed by Bai Dao so that they dare not raise their heads, they are also dominated by other identities, and few people usually dare to despise them.
Even if they knew that Zhao Mingyuan was a great master, and now he was even more noble as a Ming king, he was definitely not someone they could afford to offend.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan was so young, he looked ordinary and unremarkable, and he had no strong bearing, but everyone couldn't respect him.
Fu Gongyou snorted coldly and said, "That's how King Ming entertains guests?" I'm afraid it's against etiquette, and I'm smiling and generous. ”
Zhao Mingyuan pinched the jade cup in his hand and said with a smile: "When a friend comes, there is wine, and when an enemy comes, there are knives and guns." But I wonder if you are a friend or an enemy. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere that was finally eased by the two beauties Wan Wan and Bai Qing'er, but between the two of them, he suddenly became nervous again, An Long hurriedly intercepted: "Friend! Friends, of course. ”
An Long is a businessman who has always paid attention to harmony and wealth. Even if you really want to do it, you still have a knife hidden in your smile, and you suddenly attack, which makes people unguardable.
Now that An Long is playing a round field, he is naturally exquisite, and he eases the atmosphere in the field in a few words.
However, Zhao Mingyuan had no intention of making friends with these people from the Demon Gate, so he asked bluntly, "What is the purpose of your coming here this time?" It's better to go straight to avoid wasting everyone's time. ”
For Zhao Mingyuan's unceremonious question, An Long's chubby round face smiled even more, and said:
"Your Majesty the King of Ming, my niece has agreed to form an alliance with King Ming on behalf of my Holy Gate, and now we are all a family.
But after all, it was only passed down from generation to generation, and many details were not negotiated, and it was only an alliance intention.
Now that we are gathered together, we also want to talk about some of the issues that we are concerned about. ”
Zhao Mingyuan nodded and gestured to continue, while drinking the wine in his glass.
An Long didn't seem to see Zhao Mingyuan's rude scene, and continued: "King Ming unified Wagangzhai and took Luoyang lightly. Now it is even more intended to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and dominating the world is just around the corner.
Ann's holy gate congratulates King Ming in advance! ”
Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan was still unmoved, he even opened his mouth to swallow the dishes that Bai Qing'er sent to his mouth. An Long continued: "Now, King Ming led a large army south, Jiangnan was shaken, and General Manager Du led the army to vote. It can be seen that the Ming king is widely blessed in the world. The heroes of the world, the Quartet. ”
After a pause, An Long asked cautiously: "But I don't know, General Du Fuwei Du led the army to surrender." How is King Ming going to place Mr. Du? ”
It turned out that going around in such a big circle, this is what An Long wanted to ask.
It seems that he wanted to inquire about Zhao Mingyuan's placement of Du Fuwei first, so as to determine his attitude towards the surrendered people, and then he could bargain over the matter of Fu Gongyou.
Although the Demon Gate is also providing intelligence help to Zhao Mingyuan, it is false after all.
What really helped Zhao Mingyuan a lot, and what could be used as a bargaining chip was naturally the territory held by the Demon Gate.
And the Jianghuai Army, which is assisted by Gongyou in front of him, is the first to bear the brunt and cannot be avoided.
This kind of thought naturally can't be hidden from Zhao Mingyuan.
So, Zhao Mingyuan replied with a chuckle: "Brother Du believes me, and he didn't mention his treatment just now. ”
Listening to Zhao Mingyuan's words, An Long's face couldn't help but sink.
The Heavenly Lotus Sect was originally composed of merchants, and he, the sect leader of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, was naturally quite business-oriented. Therefore, he was entrusted by the people of the Demon Gate to negotiate with Zhao Mingyuan.
And now, hearing Zhao Mingyuan's plan, An Long naturally does not think that Zhao Mingyuan deliberately concealed it for the purpose of negotiation, and understands that what he said is the truth.
Although he had long heard that Du Fuwei was a person who valued righteousness over profit, he didn't expect that he would surrender directly to Zhao Mingyuan without even asking about such a big thing as his own treatment.
With such a precedent in place, it seems that the next negotiations will not be easy.
Unexpectedly, I heard Zhao Mingyuan continue: "Since Brother Du believes me like this, it is naturally impossible for the widow to let Brother Du suffer."
However, the widow is only the king of Ming now, and he has not been called the emperor, so naturally it is impossible to be the king easily.
But Brother Du led the army to vote, and his love was deep and righteous, so he naturally couldn't help but be rewarded.
Therefore, the widow is ready to be rewarded in the position of the prince of the country, hereditary replacement, and 3,000 households.
As for the Jianghuai Army under Brother Du, if they intend to return home, they will be given money and food to be dismissed.
If they want to eat together, they will choose the best ones to form an elite army, and the others will either serve as auxiliaries or arrange for them to do other livelihoods.
Do you have any objection to this arrangement? ”
Zhao Mingyuan's arrangement sounded decent, and there was nothing unusual about it. Even allowed those who did not want to join the army to leave, and also distributed money and food to dismiss, which is already quite benevolent.
However, the people of the Demon Gate are naturally more concerned about Du Fuwei's treatment.
The position of the prince of the country seems to be good, but the treatment of the king opened by Li Valve in Guanzhong seems to be very different.
Although after Li Valve ruled the world, these kings with different surnames almost did not end well.
But people don't know now!
All everyone saw was that Li Valve did not hesitate to give rewards, and the princes with different surnames were almost thrown out one after another to attract the princes of the Quartet.
Such favorable conditions far exceed the price offered by Zhao Mingyuan.
This can't help but remind people of the past Chu and Han hegemony, the overlord of Western Chu Xiang Yu was stingy with rewards, but Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was not stingy with the king, causing the heroes to return to him, and finally defeated the stronger Xiang Yu and won the world.
What Zhao Mingyuan is doing now is so similar to Xiang Yu in the past. All of them are super strong individuals, and their subordinates are even stronger and stronger, and they have the potential to unify the world.
Could it be that Zhao Mingyuan may repeat Xiang Yu's mistakes?
Thinking of this, An Long secretly talked about the Chu and Han hegemony, and tactfully persuaded Zhao Mingyuan to achieve a great cause if he did not hesitate to reward him.
After all, what the Demon Sect did was secret, and they didn't know about it. If Li Valve wins, won't they still be crushed by Buddhism?
Since this is the case, it is better to find a way to persuade Zhao Mingyuan.
Listening to An Long talk about how favorable Li Valve's conditions were, and he had the potential of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
Others don't know what the fate of these anti-kings is, can they not know?
Besides, if nothing else, let's just say that these kings with different surnames who were rewarded by Liu Bang were all cut down one by one in the end?
What can threaten him is to rebel and be killed one by one, either actively or passively.
Later, Liu Bang simply swore by cutting off the white horse, and if it was not Liu, he would not be the king, and completely cut off the road of the king with a different surname.
How could they not know this?
It's just that Li Lingzhi is dizzy, and he only sees the benefits in front of him, and does not take into account the dangers in the future.
However, in comparison, it is true that his own conditions are slightly inferior. Xiang Yu's experience is really unguarded.
So, Zhao Mingyuan had to open another card he had prepared.
Boss An smiled.
In the end of the Han Dynasty, there were several major chaos due to the cutting of the feudal domain, how can people not take it as a warning?
Li Valve seems to have a good reward, but after he dominates the world, how can he tolerate a king with a different surname?
and they will all be destroyed.
The widow's condition seems to be inferior to Li Valve, but it is more sincere than Li Valve!
The position of the prince of the country is a real hereditary replacement, and there will be no future troubles. ”
In this regard, everyone in the Demon Gate scoffed.
Are you still sincere?
Sincerity should be expressed in terms of real money and power.
Where can we talk about sincerity in the position of a national prince?
Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Actually, it's not impossible to be crowned king, and the widow doesn't have any plans to be crowned king unless he has a different surname. ”
Hearing Zhao Mingyuan's loose tone, everyone couldn't help but have their eyes flashing and excited. The two girls were even more close to Zhao Mingyuan, one left and one right.
But I heard Zhao Mingyuan continue: "However, this dedication alone is not enough to be crowned king."
In the hearts of the widows, only the conquest of foreign races and the expansion of territory are enough to be crowned kings, and the rest are not enough to be the Tao. ”
An Long said: "King Ming's words, please forgive me for not agreeing.
When it is undecided today, the princes of the Quartet are waiting around, and there are countless people who are lonely and widowed.
Although the king of Ming is strong, he still needs warriors to sweep the world for the king of Ming.
The dedication is not enough to seal the king, is it not enough to conquer the Quartet for the king of Ming and sweep the world? ”
Faced with such a sharp question as An Long, Zhao Mingyuan did not evade it, and said categorically: "Not bad! In the Ming Dynasty, you can't be crowned a king unless you open up your territory! ”
