The heart of politics is dirty.

But they're all smart enough!

Before this trip, the emperor Qi soldiers specially summoned Jiang Yong for this mission.

There is only one topic - how to get Zhao Guo to send troops!

"Zhao Guo hated Qi to the core, and did not take this opportunity to secretly form an alliance with Western Liao, purely because they were more afraid of the rise of Western Liao than our old enemy."

"But it is almost impossible for them to send troops to attack Western Liao, after all, this is not thirty years ago. No one wants to have more than one rival in plain sight. ”

The emperor Qi Bing was in his forties, and he was in the prime of life, and he was still very sober when he didn't talk about his character and temperament.

"The world says that the Zhao Guanjia is timid and afraid of things, and he doesn't dare to go on the Northern Expedition, but I don't think he wants to go on the Northern Expedition. Failure is not only embarrassing, but the end will be worse than now; Success, even more trouble! What is he going to do with his father and brother? There are no two heavens and no two people, so it's not that he can't go on the Northern Expedition, he doesn't dare to go on the Northern Expedition, but he is waiting for his father and brother to die! Wait for us to continue to consume national strength with Western Liao. ”

That's why I ordered the people to take good care of those two people and resolutely not allow bullying to happen again. Others...... They can both die, but the two of them must give me a good life, and it is best to live a long life and survive Zhao Cheng! ”

"You have a great responsibility to envoy Zhao Guo this time, the ninth brother likes to mess around, and the only person I can really count on is Guozhang."

Although Jiang Yong is a generation of Confucianism and is proficient in classics and history, he is still far from being a political yin like Qi Bing.

When I heard this, I was still very moved.

His other identity is the father-in-law of the Northern Qi Emperor in front of him.

After the eldest daughter was sealed, the younger daughter was also a concubine, and the Jiang family was extremely respected in Northern Qi.

Under the royal family, the first family!

However, it is also the name of this first family that brings supreme glory to the Jiang family, and also brings ...... Infinite pressure!

"Does Guozhang know who the Zhao official family hates the most now?"

Jiang Yong thought for a while: "It should be my Qi country......

Qi Bing said: "I'm talking about individuals. ”

Jiang Yong frowned slightly and said, "That should be...... The Emperor? ”

After all, Emperor Taishang led the army to destroy Northern Zhao and wiped out almost all the members of the royal family.

Zhao Cheng and Zhao Dan brothers also suffered a lot in Northern Qi back then, and they were not as good as civilians at that time.

Qi Bing said: "Guozhang is right, but you don't know the real reason why Zhao Cheng hates the emperor!" ”

"I want to hear about it." Jiang Yong didn't know at all, this was just a routine of the emperor to lure him into the bait.

"During the years of the reign of Emperor Taishang, he had courted Zhao Guo three times, trying to marry Zhao Cheng's eldest daughter Zhao Huan back, including this visit, he was still very concerned, and specially sent people to join the mission, the purpose was ...... It's still the same! Qi Bing looked at Jiang Yong: "The national abbot should know about this, right?" ”

Jiang Yong reacted, although Emperor Qi Kun is eloquent and strategic in his life, he can be called a generation of heroes, but he has one of the biggest problems, that is, he is lustful.

I heard out of nowhere that Zhao Huan had been a beauty since he was a child, smart and clever, and deeply favored by Zhao Cheng, so he excused himself with the ministers that he would be severely suppressed and humiliated against Zhao Guo, and he wanted them to understand his identity, so I wanted to marry that Zhao Huan!

Jiang Yong didn't agree with this, but at that time, others were soft-spoken, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to disobey the emperor?

In addition, in their opinion, this is not a big deal, and they do not take it too seriously.

The ruthlessness of the emperor's family is the norm, no matter how much she loves her daughter, she will have to marry sooner or later, who is she not married?

As a result, the emperor in the eyes of the Qi people was very angry, and rejected Qi's proposal three times in a row.

even did not hesitate to make an exception for this reason to crown Zhao Huan as the eldest princess and give him supreme honor, just to fight against the emperor of Northern Qi.

This matter is actually a joke within the Qi State, regardless of the government and the opposition, everyone secretly poked and poked at the old cow who claimed to be the emperor of the ages and the old cow ate tender grass, and made up a lot of jokes for this.

But he really didn't expect that the Zhao official family in the south would actually hate the emperor because of this matter.

Qi Bing sighed and said: "Although our Qi State is still strong now, after all, in the face of the counterattack of Western Liao, the city land captured back then has also been robbed back a lot, so this time to envoy Zhao State, Guozhang can only succeed, not fail!" ”

Jiang Yong nodded seriously: "Your Majesty, rest assured, when the minister goes over there, he must know the reason, so that the Zhao official family understands that they can't always live in the hatred of the past, and if they don't join hands to fight Liao now, the Qi country will be in trouble in the future, and the Zhao country will never be good." ”

Qi Bing nodded and sighed: "But I'm still a little worried, Zhao Guan's family...... I hate the emperor too much! Especially this time, the Emperor Taishang also specially sent people to join the mission, and as a son of man, it is not easy to stop me......"

Jiang Yong finally asked with some hindsight at this time: "What about according to Your Majesty's intentions?" ”

Qi Bing said seriously: "We are the suzerain, then Zhao Cheng is like the emperor, like him, in fact, he wants to be respected more, and he needs to export his evil anger more, in order to maintain the dignity of the suzerain, we can't bow to them openly......"

"Of course not." Jiang Yong said.

"So, I'm thinking about how to break the emperor's fourth courtship without revealing a trace. I am worried that there will be many people in the court of Zhao who are eager to show loyalty to my Qi Kingdom and forcibly coerce Zhao Cheng to marry his daughter...... If this is the case, there is no need to think about sending troops. Therefore, I sent King Zhao over, and according to his arrogant and arrogant nature, there is a high probability that he will mess up this matter. But we need Zhao Guo to send troops after all! Guojo, I heard...... Tong'er is now known as the first day of the Northern Qi Dynasty? ”

Jiang Yong was instantly struck by lightning.

……

……

The mission went all the way, and Jiang Yong accompanied his granddaughter all the way.

Those people entered the territory of Zhao to eat, drink and have fun, but only these two grandfathers and grandsons have always lived in a simple place.

For his granddaughter, Jiang Yong felt guilty to the extreme.

To the emperor, Jiang Yong was full of resentment.

In order to make the Zhao Guan's family angry, you have to find ways to sabotage the emperor's courtship plan while sending my favorite granddaughter out?

What is this called?

But there is nothing to be done!

Don't look at the emperor who asked him to talk and discuss, but if he dares to refuse, it won't be long before the Jiang family, the first family of Northern Qi, will be wiped out and gone!

No one knows the heritage of the imperial family better than him, and knows better than him how strong the emperor is.

At that time, even with the hope of the Jiang family's future, his grandson Jiang Su, will also be implicated and abandoned by the cultivation sect where he is located.

What prosperity, what wealth, in an instant, will become a thing of the past.

Jiang Tong also knew about it.

After hearing the news, this talented genius girl of Qi State only shed tears silently for a night, and the next day everything was as usual, and she agreed with a happy expression.

also said that if he entered the palace of Zhao Guo, how could he seal a concubine with a high position, and the life would not be too bad, so that his family and grandfather would not have to worry too much.

It's so sensible that it's heart-wrenching.

The more she is like this, the more sad Jiang Yong feels in her heart.

And what made him even more uncomfortable was the attitude of Jiang Su, Jiang Tong's cousin, who was selfish and indifferent.

There is always only oneself in his eyes.

"Grandpa, I came to find you, mainly to ask, why didn't you let me challenge that Song Yu during the day?" When Jiang Su faced his grandfather, his behavior was relatively normal.

After all, he knew that the old man in front of him was the real backbone of the Jiang family, and it was also the key to the Jiang family's ability to maintain its status and wealth.

He didn't care about these things, but if the Jiang family fell, his life in the sect would also become difficult.

That's why he reacted so much to Jiang Tong for Song Yu to speak.

As long as you don't spoil my business, you can do anything, and vice versa...... I will not answer!

Jiang Yong looked at Jiang Su and Jiang Tong, who suddenly became silent on the side, and said, "I told you before setting off that to challenge Song Yu, you must find a suitable opportunity. At that time, we did not know that he had entered the Ministry of Rites and became the envoy of the Imperial Mission, so the plan was to create a competition between young people. At that time, if you kill him by mistake, even if Zhao Guo is unhappy, he will not say anything. After all, he's just a young man with a soft talk. But not now! ”

Jiang Su asked a little unconvinced, "Why not?" Just because he's an envoy? ”

Jiang Tong said quietly on the side: "Because he is a person who represents the official family and the court of Zhao State, and his status is equal to that of our prince, so he dares to turn his face with the prince on the spot. ”

Jiang Su glanced at this sister and said, "Then when can I kill him?" ”

Jiang Tong closed his mouth.

Jiang Yong thought for a while and said, "Go back and enter Lin'an Mansion, Zhao Guan's family will hold a palace banquet to entertain us sooner or later, and at that time, look for an opportunity." ”

Jiang Su was silent for a moment, nodded, got up and left.

……

……

Early the next morning.

The people of Lin'an Mansion were mobilized, saying that the Northern Qi mission was coming, and everyone had to go out of the city to greet them.

There was a strong backlash at first.

Many people couldn't help but scold on the spot.

Although he didn't name him, he obviously went to the high-ranking officials of the court or even the official family.

But soon, some rumors spread among the crowd -

The famous Yu Gongzi has made a move!

"It is said that the night before yesterday, Gongzi Yu took three thousand forbidden troops and pulled the most powerful bed crossbow in our Zhao Kingdom to meet the mission......"

"Really? Go with the forbidden army and the bed crossbow for the siege...... Greet? Are you sure it wasn't murder? ”

"Hahaha, don't forget what our young son Yu did after he came to Lin'an Mansion, let me tell you, Liu Tong's case is already in the past! Yu Gongzi was named the envoy of the Qincha, and on the first day he entered the Ministry of Rites, he scolded to death a soft-boned third-grade officer! ”

"Oh my God......"

As all kinds of gossip spread, people gradually understood that the joint launch of them out of the city was not to greet them at all, but to let them go to watch the Northern Qi mission, and they were "escorted" into the city by the forbidden army led by Yu Gongzi!

"Yu Gongzi, who went out with three thousand forbidden troops and bed crossbows, is 'escorting' the mission and will go to Lin'an Mansion immediately!"

"It is said that the waiter who was scolded to death by Yu Gongzi had originally promised the people on the mission side to build a large number of luxury tents ten miles outside the city, and send food, wine and beautiful women...... Just because of this, he was scolded by Yu Gongzi and scolded to death! ”

"So when you tell us to go out of the city, it's really not to greet you, but to watch Yu Gongzi sacrifice prisoners?"

"Hahaha, yes, Yu Gongzi sacrificed his prisoner, this is a good statement!"

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and rent a car at the car dealership, if it's too late, it will be robbed! ”

"Good news, good news, all major car dealers have posted notices, today's affordable car rental, will never increase in price!"

……

……

Outside the north gate of Lin'an Mansion.

When the "escorted" mission came over, almost all of them were speechless because of the scene in front of them.
