anger!
Extremely angry!
Huang Zicheng looked at the calm Jin Zhong in front of him, wishing he could order the soldiers to chop him into pieces!
He never imagined that these rebels would be so shameless and aggressive!
Huang Zicheng was forced to serve the Yan army again and again. The last time was Xu Zengshou, in the name of letting him perform meritorious service. Huang Zicheng didn't think much about it. He even thought that these rebellious people kept their word and were kind-hearted people.
But this time Jin Zhong broke the disguise and forced Huang Zicheng to work for Yan Jun, otherwise the transaction between the two parties would be interrupted!
This is simply unreasonable!
Interrupting the transaction is something Huang Zicheng absolutely cannot bear.
The reason why he came to be the chief envoy of Pingyan was because it was profitable.
First, you can gain a favor from Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru, which will definitely be of great use later.
The second is that you can secretly trade with the Yan army and get the support of Yan King Zhu Di, so that you can continue to make meritorious deeds and get promoted!
The third is to obtain anthracite and snowflake salt through trading with the Yan army, and the snowflake salt is the key. You can use this top quality product to open up the road to the Jiangnan gentry, get their full support, and thus get more help!
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Huang Zicheng's appointment as the chief envoy to Pingyan is a sure win.
Not only can he win the respect and trust of His Majesty the Emperor with his achievements in Ping Yan, but he can also win the full support of the Jiangnan gentry with the help of snowflake salt. With the two-pronged approach, it won't be long before Huang Zicheng can return to the court and take charge of the central power. At least he will never be the one again. A Taichang Temple minister with no real power!
But the premise of all this is that the plan can go smoothly, especially the secret deal with Yan Jun.
If this deal is suddenly interrupted, there will be no way to get snowflake salt. The Jiangnan gentry who have just tasted the sweetness will definitely not agree!
And Huang Zicheng, the chief envoy of Pingyan, did not get the deliberate support of King Zhu Di of Yan. How could he get Pingyan's achievements? Could it be that he, Lord Huang, was really allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy in person?
Therefore, the transaction must not be broken!
When he thought of this, Huang Zicheng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"This is the second and last time!"
"Everything can be done once or twice, otherwise I will never have any contact with you again!"
This can be regarded as Huang Zicheng's last stubbornness.
He also understood that he was now on a pirate ship and had to agree to Yan Jun's rebellious request.
But if you agree, you can't agree so readily, otherwise he will really become a rebellious person.
Hearing this, Jin Zhong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Huang. This is the last time. I am determined that there will be no next time."
This is indeed the last time. As long as Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong are solved, there will be no obstacle to the Yan army's march south.
How could a bastard like Li Jinglong still be able to withstand Yan Tieqi's high morale?
After hearing Jin Zhong's words, Huang Zicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was still a little uneasy and subconsciously asked: "Why do you want to plot against Tie Xuan?"
"He is just a Shandong political participant. What benefit does scheming against him bring to you?"
Yo, you still know to ask this question?
It seems you are not too stupid!
Jin Zhong smiled contemptuously and sneered: "My prince sent a secret letter and some gold and silver jewelry to Tie Xuan, intending to recruit him!"
"Who would have thought that Tie Xuan accepted the jewels but did nothing after receiving the money? The prince was so angry that he wanted to use your hand to get rid of this beast, even if it means knocking him down!"
When Qi Tai heard this, his face was full of suspicion.
Is this really the case?
Why do I always feel like something is not quite right?
"Master Huang, there is no need to think too much. This is actually a great achievement for Master Huang!"
"Over the years, our Yan Army has infiltrated into the Southern Army a lot, but most of them are the kind of people who take money and do nothing, so giving them to Mr. Huang as a contribution to the peace of Yan can be regarded as a sincerity of my prince! "
After hearing these words, Huang Zicheng's expression softened slightly.
That’s right!
You said earlier that it was Ping Yan’s contribution!
Was there any need to be so anxious just now?
So...naughty!
Huang Zicheng smiled and said: "In that case, then the matter is settled."
"As long as your dialect is trustworthy, then this trading officer will naturally protect it with all his strength!"
“It’s just a simple matter for a Shandong person to participate in politics.”
Jin Zhong smiled and said nothing, but there was a hint of contempt deep in his eyes.
He had acted so angry before, as if he was really a loyal and patriotic Jianwen loyalist.
As soon as I heard that this was Ping Yan's achievement, my tone immediately changed, and I wished I could get more!
How shameless!
Jin Zhong finally saw the ugly faces of the Jiangnan gentry today.
Su Sheng's words are indeed true. Huang Zicheng will definitely agree and will try his best to prepare for this!
Well worth the trip!
After the two parties finalized the matter, they left in tacit agreement.
Huang Zicheng immediately wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to the capital immediately.
As soon as Zhu Yunwen heard that it was Huang Zicheng's secret letter, he immediately opened it and took a look, but was stunned.
"Summon Qitai and Fang Xiaoru for an audience!"
Soon, two confidants rushed over.
As soon as he saw them, Zhu Yunwen quickly said: "Huang Aiqing wrote a letter. He captured some Yanni scouts and tortured them about a big event!"
"Yan Ni is recruiting Shandong officials to prepare for the war next spring, and among these Shandong officials who are colluding with Yan Ni, the person with the highest authority is Tie Xuan, who participates in politics in Shandong!"
"What? Tie Xuan?" Fang Xiaoru lost his voice, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Tie Xuan has a strong character, is smart and agile, and is loyal to the court and His Majesty. He can be called a loyal minister. How could he collude with Yan Ni?"
Fang Xiaoru was the first to raise questions because the matter was too strange.
Zhu Yunwen also nodded, his face uncertain.
"I still have an impression of Tie Xuan."
"When he was studying at Taixue, he was proficient in classics and history and had outstanding achievements. He was elected as a member of the Imperial College and was appointed to the Ministry of Rites. Later, he was transferred to the Governor's Mansion to judge affairs and hear unresolved cases. Tie Xuan immediately made a reasonable decision. His ability in making judgments was highly valued by Emperor Taizu Gao, who gave him the title "Keystone" for this reason."
"Emperor Taizu Gao often told me that Tie Xuan was a talented and wise minister, so after I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, I immediately promoted him to join the political affairs of Shandong, and prepared to transfer him to the central court after some experience."
"But...this letter is from Huang Aiqing!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru's expressions changed slightly.
Whether Tie Xuan is a capable official remains to be verified, but Huang Zicheng is undoubtedly their closest and most trusted person.
So no matter whether there is something wrong with Tie Hyun or not, someone must be sent to check it out.
After all, he is currently participating in politics in Shandong. If he really colludes with Yan Ni, then next year's war will cause trouble!
When he thought of this, Qitai immediately said: "Your Majesty, why not leave this matter to Jin Yiwei and secretly rush to Shandong to investigate!"
"Firstly, it can minimize the impact of the situation and protect the face of the court. Secondly, it will not have any impact on Tiexuan himself. As long as he did not collude with Yan Ni, there will be no big problem after verification."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, what Qi Aiqing said is absolutely true, let's do it!"
"I hope this Tie Xuan didn't do those things!"
