Chapter 147: Transactions
Yang Fanhai was a little nervous in his heart, everything was according to Xu Fan's teaching, so he didn't know if he could succeed.
It's just that when he took out the kraft paper bill, he calmed down. By now, it has been cleared up, if Xu Fan's plan fails, he will have a big deal to take the people from the Jiguo Mansion to fight out.
He knew that for the safety of the royal family, there must be strong people in Zheng Cheng, just like that Master Zhan back then, but if he really forced himself to that step, he couldn't control it so much.
"Arrears?" Gongsun Shaodian frowned, and then motioned to the attendants beside him: "Bring it over and show me!"
The attendant walked over, took the brown paper, and presented it to Gongsun Shaodian.
As soon as Gongsun Shaodian got it in his hand, he saw Gongsun Weiqing stand up and say loudly: "Father, this IOU was written by Xu Fan and Yang Fanhai after the son-in-law was kidnapped that year. This is a stopgap measure, and it is simply impossible to do it. ”
That piece of brown paper was the IOU that Xu Fan forced Gongsun Weiqing to write under his bad taste, Yang Fanhai had never taken it seriously before, and Gongsun Weiqing didn't take it to heart. The country of Ji is gone, and he is now a king, and he is a minister, how can there be a courtier who asks the king for a debt, let alone such a debt.
But I never thought that Yang Fanhai would really do this, and it was at such a court meeting, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he spoke directly. Three million stones of gold, there are only so many military expenditures for six years of the Xiong Country, and at this moment, Gongsun Weiqing's face is already iron-blue.
Gongsun Shaodian took the brown paper and looked at it carefully, there were not many words, but he looked at it for half a quarter of an hour before he looked at Yang Fanhai and asked, "Yang Qingjia, what the eldest prince said is true." ”
"That's right!" Yang Fanhai nodded: "But this bill is also true." In the past, Weichen was still serving in the country of Ji, and no matter what happened, it was excusable. His Royal Highness the eldest prince was careless, and he was captured by Weichen, which was also a chance. ”
"If an ordinary rich family signs such a contract, it is naturally impossible to do it, because the asking price is too much, and it is impossible to achieve it. But His Royal Highness the Great Prince is different, he is the Great Prince of our Bear Country, and he is the prince. ”
"Wars between countries, after losing, are often broken by the country and brought under the command of the other side. In such a competition, anything can arise. His Royal Highness the eldest prince is that I have the prince of the bear country, and in his capacity, I think this price is deserved. ”
"It's like if in the war that year, if the king asked Ji Guogong to give this price and withdraw the army, I think Ji Guogong would definitely not hesitate. Since the state and the state can ask for such a price, it is not too much for the prince of a country to pay this ransom. ”
"Now it's here in black and white, and it's all up to the king. If the king thinks that this bill of arrears can not be counted, then Weichen can only accept it. ”
When Gongsun Weiqing heard this, he was furious and shouted: "Yang Fanhai, you dog thief, you are bold!"
"The minister is a military general, if he has no courage, how to lead the troops. Moreover, this debt was written by your own hand, and the king also said that the repayment of debts is justified and has nothing to do with courage, so why can't the minister ask for it?"
Yang Fanhai said unhurriedly, with a calm face, which shocked the civil and military officials for their boldness. On such an occasion, it is really unprecedented to ask for debts from the future prince of the current dynasty.
"You ......" Gongsun Weiqing gritted his teeth with hatred, hating that he couldn't directly stab Yang Fanhai to death, but there was no way, he believed that he would definitely not be the opponent of the other party.
Gongsun Shaodian frowned, didn't speak for a while, and suddenly remembered something after a while and asked: "What happened when Aiqing said that the money of the Jiguo Mansion was exhausted, and food and clothing were cut off?"
Although they are all royal families who have died in the country, Gongsun Shaodian did not deliberately make things difficult, after all, he is a king with great achievements, and he can't afford to put up a fight in front of a group of princes who have already died in the country. Although it is not so much that it is scary, it is enough for the Guogong Mansion to live a life without food and clothing.
Now Yang Fanhai is asking for debts for such a reason, and he is really puzzled, so he just happened to split the matter of the arrears first.
Yang Fanhai hugged his fists and half-knelt on the ground: "Back to the king's words, it has been more than half a year since Weichen led the army to today, and in this half year, the Duke of Jiguo only received the first month's salary, and there was no half penny after that. ”
"The Jiguo Mansion has no land to rent and no business to do, which is equivalent to sitting on a mountain and eating nothing. No matter how frugal you are, half a year is enough for all the money in the first month of Huaguang. ”
"Now that Weichen has just returned to China, he has met a group of retainers crying. During these times, all the retainers lived on gruel, and although the county lord and the prince were slightly better, they only added a little minced vegetables and meat. ”
"Although Weichen has served the king, he does not dare to forget the grace of the old master. The old lord still thought that the king intended to do this, and he never dared to speak out. The humiliation of the national prince made Weichen frightened. Now Weichen has the courage to speak, and hopes that the king can go to the name of the old lord Guogong, and let the Guogong go out of Zhengcheng to be an ordinary person, although he is not rich and noble, but at least he will not eat like a beggar. ”
"Smack!"
With a loud bang, Gongsun Shaodian got up and shouted at Gongsun Weiqing: "What's the matter, didn't I ask you to set up a place specifically responsible for the resettlement of the Guogong Mansion?
"Father's forgiveness!" Gongsun Weiqing hurriedly knelt down and said eagerly: "Erchen doesn't know, Erchen is in charge of all the things, I really don't know how this can happen!"
Feng Wuyang...... Many officials waited until this name was clear in their hearts, Feng Wuyang had made trouble for the Jiguo Mansion for a day or two, and many people in the national capital knew that it was obviously deliberate for His Royal Highness the eldest prince to make this person responsible.
It's just that you can only know this matter in your heart, and no one will say it.
However, someone immediately stood up and saluted before saying: "Great King, the Guogong Governor's Office is newly established, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence, and before Chen Tangguan was in an emergency, His Royal Highness the eldest prince asked Feng Wuyang to lead troops to support. Under the conflict of trivial matters, I am afraid that I will forget it all at once. ”
This reason is really far-fetched, those multi-national princes have been issued, but only the Jiguo Mansion has not been for half a year. It's just that there is such a reason, which is better than nothing. Gongsun Weiqing nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, it should be so, and I hope that the king will forgive his sins." ”
Between speaking, he already hated Yang Fanhai to the extreme in his heart, and even more so than Xu Fan.
Gongsun Shaodian looked at Gongsun Weiqing, his face was expressionless, but there was obvious anger in his eyes. After a while, he said to Yang Fanhai: "Yang Qingjia, this matter is a mistake of the Guogong Governor's Office, I will order the Yulu to make up, and there will definitely be no more arrears in the future." ”
"Thank you, king!" Yang Fanhai half-knelt down to thank him, then stood up and said, "Then this IOU ......"
Things have come to this point, and he just got it. is the so-called no desire and no desire, he has no interest in the so-called fame, fortune and power of the bear country, and it doesn't matter what impression he leaves on Gongsun Shaodian, he just wants to bite Gongsun Weiqing.
Originally, I was just thinking about the means to resolve the other party this time, but now I have a different feeling. He must let Gongsun Weiqing suffer a loss, and let the other party know that he doesn't just know how to swallow his anger.
Gongsun Shaodian frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty, Yang Fanhai, Gongsun Weiqing stays." ”
"Wechen retires!"
Although they all wanted to see how this matter would continue, the king had an order, and the courtiers could only retreat. The attendants around him also saw the opportunity and retreated one by one.
After only Gongsun Shaodian, Gongsun Weiqing and Yang Fanhai were left in the Dezheng Palace, they suddenly quieted down.
Gongsun Shaodian stared at Yang Fanhai for a long time before he asked, "General Yang, there is no one else here now, let's say, what do you want?"
Yang Fanhai immediately said: "The minister only wants to return his own debt, nothing else!"
"This debt, the eldest prince will definitely not be able to give you. It seems to me that you certainly didn't come here for the money. Gongsun Shaodian said expressionlessly: "Tell me what you want to do!"
"Since the king said it, then Weichen will also have the courage to say it!" Yang Fanhai was no longer hypocritical, and said calmly: "I want to make a deal with the king." ”
"What kind of deal, you say!" asked Gongsun Shaodian.
Yang Fanhai said slowly: "I often hear people arguing, who is more important, women or the country, for so many years, no one has given an accurate answer." I don't have the opportunity to be a king, nor do I have the ability to be a king, and I can't even think of it. The king is a king, and he is the most suitable to answer this question, can you give Weichen an answer?"
"Jiangshan...... Beauty ......" Gongsun Shaodian suddenly figured out what was going on, and said with a slight smile: "In my opinion, it is naturally more important to have the country, and with the country, are you afraid that there will be no beauty? Do you want to use this IOU in exchange for the lord of Jinglu? This is money, not the country." ”
"Exactly!" Yang Fanhai nodded: "The county lord doesn't want to get married." Although three million stones of gold are not a country, it is enough to affect the operation of the bear country, and Weichen wants to exchange this IOU for a piece of paper for the king, a promise not to marry the lord of Jinglu County. ”
"You're doing a good job!" Gongsun Shaodian smiled slightly: "Judging from the businessman's thoughts, this transaction is naturally not bad, and it can be done ......"
"Thank you, King!" Yang Fanhai was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you!" Gongsun Shaodian said, "That's a businessman, but I'm not a businessman." If you say it privately, I will agree, but you propose it at the court. If I agree, my prestige will be ruined, and how will I be subdued in the future? The royal family cannot be coerced and compromised by the courtiers. ”
"I was still hesitating before, but as soon as this matter comes out today, I can't disagree with this marriage!"
Yes...... Yang Fanhai was stunned inexplicably, according to Xu Fan's calculations, when he arrived here, Gongsun Shaodian should have agreed, but he never thought that there would still be changes.
At this point, Xu Fan's method has come to an end, there is no back, and the rest can only rely on himself.
Yang Fanhai took a deep breath, looked at Gongsun Shaodian indifferently and said.
"If three million stones of gold are not enough, how about adding another Yanzhou?"
