Jiang Gui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
It's not a good idea to go to the front line to negotiate with Zhao Shan. Even if he is Zhao Shan's cheap father-in-law, but your prime minister of Great Liang, having a family relationship with the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, wouldn't it make the old man impatient to hang himself?
The emperor is a loner!
The emperor is a political figure without emotions!
Everything is about profit first.
Jiang Gui was unwilling to interfere, and bowed his back slightly and said: "I am old and feeble, my mind is slow, and I am unable to adapt to changes. If I go to negotiate with Zhao Shan, it may be counterproductive. Kang Shangshu is young and powerful, and I think it is appropriate to negotiate."
Kang Yongyuan suddenly became anxious.
He had a mission to stay in Guzang County. He had to wait for Yao Qian to come back with his army and assist Yao Qian in his rebellion.
Kang Yongyuan's eyes were sharp and he quickly explained: "If His Majesty arranges it, I will naturally be responsible. The problem is that I have no relationship with Zhao Shan at all, and there is no family affection at all, which will not help the negotiation. I believe that Prime Minister Jiang is suitable for negotiation. "
Jiang Gui suddenly coughed.
He coughed for a while before he stopped.
Jiang Gui's back became even more stooped, as if he was possessed by the movie king. He covered his chest and said, "Your Majesty, my old minister's body is really unbearable for a long journey."
"enough!"
Yao Guang slapped his hand on the desk and said angrily: "Shut up, everyone. They are all nothing."
Jiang Gui, Kang Yongyuan and Fan Tong stopped talking.
No one wants to go.
Everyone knows that negotiating as a person from a small country does not have any dignity, and you have to come back to Yao Guang to deal with it, just to be angry.
Just don't go, it's best to stay in Guzang County.
Yao Guang's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Jiang Gui, I heard that you have just taken in a concubine recently and are gearing up to have a son. You are busy in the backyard, don't you have the energy to negotiate? "
brush!
Jiang Gui's complexion changed slightly.
He knew that Yao Guang was angry and was already beating him. Even if he is Yao Guang's father-in-law, talking about family ties in front of the emperor Yao Guang is too extravagant.
Jiang Gui felt helpless, knowing that he could not hide, so he replied: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
Yao Guang snorted, his tone became gentle again, and he smiled and said: "Old Prime Minister, I can rest assured when you do things. I believe in you."
Jiang Gui said quickly: "I will live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Yao Guang waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please step aside."
Jiang Gui, Kang Yongyuan and Fan Tong walked out of the hall together.
Kang Yongyuan stared at Jiang Gui coldly and said in a deep voice: "If the Prime Minister doesn't want to negotiate, that's fine. Why recommend me? If you don't want to go, am I willing to negotiate?"
"At least you can build a relationship with Zhao Shan, so why should I build a relationship with you?"
"Thanks to His Majesty's wisdom, I still let you go."
"I heard that Zhao Shan is very difficult to deal with. Old Prime Minister, please take care of yourself and don't let Zhao Shan come back with his arms and legs removed."
Kang Yongyuan smiled jokingly, turned and left.
Fan Tong bowed to Jiang Gui and left.
Jiang Gui's face was stern and he was in a bad mood, so he went straight back to Jiang's house. He sat down in the study, anxious to leave, thinking about negotiating.
How to get closer to Zhao Shan when you meet him?
How to appease Zhao Shan?
How to protect yourself?
Even after meeting Zhao Shan, I wonder if there is a chance to prepare an escape route for myself.
Jiang Gui thought for a long time, and after he completely calmed down, he called his family for instructions, changed his clothes, and left Guzang County for the front line. When Jiang Gui came to Luanniao County, southwest of Guzang County, he met Yao Gan and his party who had withdrawn from Zhangye County.
Jiang Gui went up to meet Yao Qian and temporarily stayed in the camp to rest.
In the Chinese army's tent.
When Yao Qian saw Jiang Gui, he frowned and said, "Prime Minister Jiang is here today. What's the matter?"
Jiang Gui said in a deep voice: "Prince, I am here under your majesty's order. The prince and I will go to see Zhao Shan and negotiate with Zhao Shan again."
Yao Qian raised his eyebrows.
What to talk about again?
If Zhao Shan agrees to Yao Guang's negotiation, wouldn't it mean that his efforts will be in vain?
Jiang Gui did not give up and continued: "Prince, your majesty's bottom line is that you will not hesitate to surrender to Daqian. No matter what, the war between the two countries must be resolved. Your majesty has authorized me to make full decisions, but the prince is the prince after all. This is During this negotiation, the old minister only obeyed the prince's leadership, and the old minister did not object to any conditions decided by the prince."
Yao Qian sneered in his heart.
Are you following the horse's lead?
Never object?
Maybe it’s because they don’t want to take on the responsibility of negotiation.
Once Yao Qian was fully responsible for the negotiations, the conditions for losing power and humiliating the country were negotiated by Yao Qian. Jiang Gui himself was the scholar leader of Great Liang. As long as Jiang Gui guided public opinion, everyone would scold Yao Gan and would never say anything wrong with Jiang Gui.
Yao Qian leaned forward slightly and asked, "Prime Minister Jiang, do you really have no objection to this prince having full authority to make the decision?"
Jiang Gui said happily: "If you don't object, the prince will have full authority to make the decision."
Yao Qian also laughed and said: "In that case, we will not negotiate."
ah! !
Jiang Gui was shocked and said quickly: "Prince, no, if we don't negotiate, how can we deliver a message to His Majesty?"
Yao Qian no longer concealed his thoughts and said loudly: "It's very simple, it's the other way around!"
boom! !
Jiang Gui felt like there was thunder exploding in his mind, and he was completely shocked.
Yao Qian actually wanted to rebel.
Jiang Gui felt a little panicked and didn't know what to do for a while. After a long while, Jiang Gui came back to his senses and thought further in his mind.
Did Yao Qian suddenly want to rebel?
impossible!
There is no such condition for a sudden rebellion, unless it is premeditated.
Jiang Gui was even more worried and unwilling to get involved in such a fight. He said: "The prince wants to rebel against His Majesty. The withdrawn troops alone cannot do it. There must be people who support him. This means that the prince is in my aunt's house." There are people in Zang County who can help, right?"
Yao Gan smiled and said: "As expected of the Prime Minister, now that you know my plan, how do you choose?"
Jiang Gui said without hesitation: "I support the prince!"
Yao Qian looked doubtful and said, "Isn't it because the old prime minister is afraid of death that he is perfunctory with me first?"
"Absolutely not!"
Jiang Gui shook his head and said with certainty: "When I decide to support the prince, I will go all out and never go against it. But if the prince wants to overthrow His Majesty, how will we deal with Zhao Shan who comes to kill him?"
Yao Qian said in a deep voice: "I and Zhao Shan have made an agreement a long time ago. In fact, the advancement of this war is in accordance with the plan agreed between me and Zhao Shan."
Jiang Gui's eyes were even more awe-inspiring.
He got it completely.
The reason why Zhao Shan led his troops to kill him was because Yao Qian led the wolf into the house. Shi Jian was killed on the front line, and it was also caused by Yao Qian. Everything is for Yao Qian to overthrow Yao Guang, and everything is for Zhao Shan to seek more benefits.
What a prince!
What a great Zhao Shan!
Jiang Gui felt sad about the situation in Xiliang, but he was helpless.
If we don't overthrow Yao Guang, how can we calm down Zhao Shan's army? As long as Yao Guang is here, Zhao Shan will not withdraw his troops. Only when Yao Qian overthrew Yao Guang and gave Zhao Shan enough benefits would Zhao Shan withdraw his troops.
This is the basis of this battle.
After Jiang Gui thought about it thoroughly, he looked up again and saw Yao Gan staring at him with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was a hungry wolf.
"Prince, I am willing to follow you."
Jiang Gui made his choice without hesitation.
Yao Qian's anger dissipated, his murderous intent was hidden, and a spring breeze-like smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "I appreciate Jiang Cheng's understanding of current affairs. With your help, things will be easier to handle."
Jiang Gui continued: "The prince is wise and powerful, and with Zhao Shan's help, he should be the lord of Great Liang."
"well said!"
Yao Qian praised: "Today, it is indeed time for Great Liang to change its dynasty."
Jiang Gui changed the subject and said: "Prince, the old minister has come to the front line. Do you want to talk to Zhao Shan again? Just make a show and then continue to withdraw. Otherwise, we will go back directly. The news will be sent back to Guzang, and His Majesty will become suspicious, which will affect It won’t be good until the prince takes action.”
Yao Qian thought about it carefully and found that this was true.
There is a process to go through!
I have to meet Zhao Shan.
Yao Qian always followed the good advice, nodded and said: "Prime Minister Jiang is right, let's meet Zhao Shan. If the secret is too close, it will be difficult to make the father suspicious."
He also secretly scolded Yao Guang for being troublesome.
If Yao Guang doesn't engage in any negotiation, he can withdraw directly. Now there will be more trouble.
Yao Qian ordered to wait where he was. Within three days, the army led by Zhao Shan also entered Luanniao County. Yao Gan found out about Zhao Shan and took Jiang Gui to Zhao Shan's army.
Towards evening, Zhao Shan's army was stationed for rest.
Yao Qian and Jiang Gui came outside the camp to ask for a meeting. After the soldiers informed them, they were taken into the camp.
Yao Qian saluted and said: "Prince Yao Qian of Daliang, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Jiang Gui said: "Jiang Gui, Prime Minister of Great Liang, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan directly ignored Yao Qian, and his eyes fell on Jiang Gui. He looked like he was looking at a tool, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is Lao Taishan who is in front of me. You are always on the front line, why don't you say something?"
"Come here, give me a seat!"
Zhao Shan gave the order.
