Although he didn't care too much, Lu Mengzheng would never allow this to happen. Although what he said was a bit cryptic, he was also expressing his attitude in a disguised way. That was the matter, and I absolutely couldn't end it myself. Let Kou Zhun come forward to talk to him first. If it doesn't work, he will come forward, so that his side will have much more room for maneuver. Even if it spreads, the impact will be much smaller.
When Lu Meng was doing this, he was actually putting himself in his own shoes. And his approach is also more sophisticated. Huang Qiong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's do it according to your idea. Go and negotiate with Kou Zhun. Pay attention to the rhythm of the negotiation, don't rush for success, and the bottom line must not be easily exposed. Remember to be anxious It's him, and definitely not the court."
Seeing that Huang Qiong agreed with his idea, Lu Mengzheng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. However, although there was some hesitation, he finally asked: "Your Majesty thinks it is more appropriate to exchange this, this, and how much real gold and silver this time. What is the lowest bottom line that the court or your Majesty can accept? Our offer How much is appropriate? As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you can pay it back on the spot?”
Lu Mengzheng's words fell. He originally thought that Huang Qiong needed to think about it, but Huang Qiong's voice came without hesitation in his ears: "I actually don't want much, two million taels of silver, three hundred thousand taels of gold, fine." Two hundred thousand catties of copper, this is the lowest bottom line. The court does not want things like cloth and silk. As for the asking price, you discuss it with Kou Zhun, but remember to leave yourself enough backup."
"Don't reveal everything about yourself at the beginning. Tell Kou Zhun, taking this as the bottom line, the more the amount negotiated, the higher the reward I will give him. But it must not be lower than this. And I only want this. Real gold and silver will not be accepted from any account. As for making money, I don’t want it. Tell Liu Jinli not to use the fake money they made to fool me and the court."
"Also, tell them that the imperial court only wants real gold and silver. Don't think that I am easy to fool. I am just like fooling those stupid officials in the Ministry of Revenue in the past. I use expired spices that cannot be sold, Japanese paper fans from the smelly streets, and other bullshit. Gao Libu also fooled the court. I directly crushed the false emperor to ashes, and in front of him. I am not one of those dim-witted officials who can be fooled by them. "
Lu Meng was dumbfounded by the so-called bottom line of Huang Qiong, the lion. Before he could say anything, Huang Qiong's next words made his jaw drop even more: "Those Wang sects who stayed in the capital, each of the three servers paid 100 taels of silver, except for the five servers of 50 silver each." Two hundred taels of silver each. Those who are within three years old will each receive two hundred taels of silver. His uncles and brothers will each receive five hundred taels of silver at the same price."
Lu Mengzheng didn't react for a long time when he heard that Huang Qiong and all the Wang Zong were all wanted to be sold. He was speechless for a long time, and even looked at Huang Qiong rudely. Looking at Lu Mengzheng's surprised look, Huang Qiong smiled and said: "What's the use of keeping these Wang Zong? The court is not short of these people who can't eat anything and can't do anything. They are worthless as hostages. .”
"For those who are truly ambitious and unscrupulous in their actions, the lives of those so-called relatives are nothing in his eyes. Don't forget, when the false emperor started his rebellion, his biological son was in Jingzhao Mansion. Even if it is a memorial tablet , but he is also his biological son. He started a rebellion, especially if he didn’t know that I would kill his son, so he had no mercy at all?"
"As for these royal sects, most of them are distant relatives. Even the closest ones are just a few married sisters, a few uncles and cousins, and a few younger brothers. If it is really with him Those who are close to him may have been picked up by him a long time ago. This kind of person is treated as an outcast. It is estimated that instead of being close to him, he will become a constraint when he gets there. "
"A person will have ambitions, and his father's brothers and sons are the same way. No matter how incompetent a person is, when the mountain that used to weigh on his head is suddenly removed, even if he didn't have any ambition in the first place, , will also breed. What's more, if his father inherits the throne as the son of a concubine, his brothers may not really be convinced. You are a concubine, and so am I."
"Why can you do it, why can't I? Everyone is a concubine and has the same status. No one is higher than anyone else. Originally, he could suppress them with his father's strength. Now his father is dead. , none of the remaining uncles is an honest person. Not all the children of the real aristocratic families are idiots. But many people, so-called idiots, just want to survive. "
"There are also his brothers. Although he has no title to inherit, he has inherited the family business. Why can he do it but others can't? Don't forget, every one of my brothers is the same. It is my throne. His uncles and brothers will also care about his family business when they are sent to him. A group of ambitious guys will not be truly honest. "
"And I dare to conclude that the false emperor did not publicly appoint an heir. The one I killed was just a tablet. Everyone around him probably knew this. When I was the king of England, I visited the King of Guilin at night before he left in Beijing. Court. Even the guards around the pseudo-emperor don’t respect the so-called crown prince. And when the pseudo-emperor ascended the throne, there was no so-called crown prince, whether it was true or false."
"Even if the pseudo-emperor really wants to appoint him as his heir, don't forget that in the jade book of the Imperial Court and the palace, Liu Jinli is already dead. Even if the pseudo-emperor still needs someone, , running that base for him will not reveal his identity. Therefore, I conclude that he will never publicly designate him as his successor. In this way, I am afraid there will be more people who are dissatisfied with him."
"So, handing these people back to him is equivalent to handing one, or rather a pile of hot braziers, back into his hands. Let them be in chaos for a while and endure his painstaking efforts. Facing such a group of people, he can't kill him. , a precious lump that can’t be let go. I’d like to see what he will do if he’s an eyesore even if I keep him. Even if I don’t get much, I can still make things difficult for him.”
Lu Mengzheng nodded in agreement with Huang Qiong's words. He had received a letter from Fu Yuanshan, hoping that he would follow up the arrest to Wang Zong and dispose of it on Guangnan West Road, and never send it to the capital again. This group of people who were imprisoned in the detention center and had no idea of their situation, and who kept asking for things all day long, almost drove the director of the detention center and King Yong who was responsible for supervising them crazy.
This group of people is actually in a detention center, asking for money, things, and women. What's even more outrageous is that he actually opened a gambling bureau in the detention center. A very solemn detention center was turned into a mess. Before Huang Qiong left Beijing, he asked King Yong to let them out in batches to get some air and contact with the outside world. As a result, this group of people came out of the detention center, and half of the capital was in chaos.
These people have either been suppressed in the fiefdom for too long, and their true colors are revealed when they arrive in the capital. Or he is a playboy himself, who can do nothing but drink and cause trouble. After releasing the first group of people, Liu Jinli's ninth brother led them to visit the largest brothel in the capital. As a result, a fight broke out between dozens of people and the powerful sons of the capital over a brothel girl.
The largest gold-selling cave in the capital was smashed into a mess, with thousands of coins lost. Even the Jingzhao government officials who went to arrest people were beaten up. In the end, it was the soldiers and horses of the City Patrol Department in the capital and the Fusi in Nanzhen who jointly dispatched to subdue these people. Among them, except Liu Jinli, the ninth brother, who had two teeth knocked out and a panda eye, the rest of them were also injured.
As for the powerful children, the third son of a marquis had his leg broken, the son of a hereditary commander had his head ripped open, and everyone who participated in the battle also suffered heavy losses. Facing this group of bastards that no one can afford to offend, Jingzhao Mansion is also extremely overwhelmed. Finally, after receiving the news, King Yong who arrived personally sat in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, and the loud banging of the boards subsided.
But what no one expected was that this group fight was just the beginning. Every time those guys were released, they didn't act as if they were releasing humans, but as if they were releasing a pack of hungry wolves. After drinking, he refused to pay and even trashed the restaurant. Those who go around picking up women, regardless of whether they are married or not. As long as you take a fancy to it, stick to it shamelessly. Tease, and some people even use violence.
Being seen by his family, not only did he not know how to restrain himself, but he continued to be aggressive. As a result, he was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was tied up and twisted like a pig and sent to Jingzhao Mansion. But those people still have a desire to live and die, and when they go out, they still see beautiful women tampering with them. Every time they were released, there was always a fight. When it was time to go back, the Jingzhao government officials would have to go around to catch people.
What he did made those clans pale in comparison. These tricks made those clans known for their absurdity feel like they could actually play like this. Compared with others, the way I played before was like playing house with a child. Due to the similar affinity, some of these people soon became sworn friends with some of the clan members.
These two groups of super dandies, when they came together, made the capital a mess. Fu Yuanshan and Yong Wang, who couldn't bear it anymore, simply ordered those people to be prohibited from leaving the detention center again. And King Yong, who was about to be driven crazy and was in charge of custody, also ordered that any of the clan members should associate with those bastards. They will all be sent to Zongzheng Temple and imprisoned for twenty days, and will be rewarded with ten boards.
It was those people who were really bastards who made Lu Mengzheng sell them to Liu Jinli even though he disagreed. But he still agreed to deal with these people as soon as possible because they had a good ancestor, and if they were killed, others would think the court was narrow-minded, and it was a waste of money and food to raise them, and they had to wipe their butts. If we let this group of people continue to stay in the capital, we don't know what will happen.
These people can be packed together with a corpse and be redeemed like piglets. Especially when you have already paid someone a large amount of money, it is really unreasonable. Just think about it again, a dead man can offer two million taels of silver, plus hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. If these gold and silver are converted into money and silk, it is almost half of Qi's annual income.
After adding these people, it's not a big deal. The bottom line has already been torn anyway, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a little lower. Seeing Lu Mengzheng finally nodding, Huang Qiong sighed in his heart. Chinese people are still too thin-skinned in many things. In that era of more than a thousand years ago, it was normal for a defeated country to want to avoid being completely annexed, and to be cut off by a lion to pay for its losses.
But these Chinese people who have read a lot of poetry and books are still a little too pedantic. If it weren't for the Guilin County Prince's Palace, there would be no land to cut off, and the price he would ask would only be higher. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong sighed slightly in his heart. Changes in some concepts cannot be accomplished overnight and require fundamental changes. Time is long, and there is no rush to change this situation.
