The expression on Eunuch Li's face changed for the first time.
Liu Heng, who was holding a teapot in his hand, continued: "The troops and horses under my command must not be abolished, and the imperial court must not be abolished, and I want Shanxi's taxation and the power to appoint and remove officials."
"This, this is impossible." Eunuch Li's expression changed again.
He had the greatest authority to make decisions and handed over all Xuanda to Hu Ziqi. The appointment and dismissal of officials and taxation were all left to Hu Ziqi, just as if the imperial court had no Xuanda and Dafu.
Now Hu Ziqi wants the whole of Shanxi, which is far beyond what he can agree to.
"If Eunuch Li can't make the decision, you can send someone back to the capital. Maybe the people there will agree to my request." Liu Heng leaned back on his chair.
Eunuch Li's expression changed a few times and he said, "Don't General Liu want the title? Why lose such an opportunity for the title of Shanxi? It's not worth the gain."
The uncle turned into General Liu again.
If it weren't for the Tiger Flag's territory, he would have wanted to call Liu Thief. The other party's appetite was too great and he was too pushy. He was no different from a bandit.
"The title is dispensable to me. I only have the title of earl and no strength. Sooner or later I will be the fat on other people's plates. Do you think I am right?" Liu Heng asked with a smile.
Eunuch Li's eyes shrank when he heard this.
Based on his understanding of Liu Heng's background in a small family, the most important thing for such a person should be the title, which seems to be more face-saving, rather than the current situation, which pays more attention to practical benefits.
"I know Eunuch Li, you can't make the decision. It's better to go back and tell your emperor that if you want to recruit people, these conditions must be met, and your emperor must make a decision quickly, otherwise who knows that the army of the Tiger Flag will attack again. Where." Liu Heng said with a smile.
Eunuch Li frowned and said: "General Liu said before that he only wanted to declare taxes and appoint and dismiss officials. Now the court not only agreed to General Liu's request, but also promised to grant him a title. However, General Liu added other demands. No, Do you feel like you’re going too far?”
"You also said that it was the previous conditions, but now the situation is different from the original situation. I believe that Eunuch Li can think of it without me saying it." Liu Heng said with an undiminished smile.
Hearing this, Eunuch Li sighed helplessly.
When I had the opportunity to recruit soldiers, I missed the opportunity because I was unwilling to do so. Now I started to regret it after losing my troops and generals, and I wanted to recruit soldiers again under the previous conditions. However, the bandits have also become more demanding, and their demands have become more and more demanding.
Liu Heng looked at the worried expression on Eunuch Li's face and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li, why not stay in Datong first and send someone he trusts back to the capital. Maybe your emperor will agree?"
"Is there really no discussion?" Eunuch Li asked again unwillingly.
Liu Heng shook his head slightly and said: "Since our Tiger Character Banner has captured Shanxi and defeated the imperial army, why does Eunuch Li think I should agree to the previous conditions?"
"Isn't it enough to add the title of the imperial court?" Eunuch Li asked.
Liu Heng raised one corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "The title is of no use to me. Your emperor is afraid of the soldiers and horses in my hands, not because of my title."
"I will send someone to send General Liu's request back to the capital, but whether the emperor will agree to it or not is not something I, a servant in the palace, can decide." Seeing that Liu Heng was determined, Eunuch Li knew that it would be useless to say anything else, so he simply Send the other party's demands back to the capital and let the cabinet have a headache.
Liu Heng said: "I will arrange where Eunuch Li wants to live. After all, Tiger Character Flag and Eunuch Li are old acquaintances. We cannot leave Eunuch Li with nowhere to go."
"Our family doesn't lack the rent, so General Liu doesn't need to worry about it." Eunuch Li could naturally tell that the other party didn't want him to live in the main town office.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Since Eunuch Li has a plan, I won't add any more details. If Eunuch Li encounters something in Datong, just come to the general town office to find me." Gu
"No need." Eunuch Li stood up from his seat, "Our family will not disturb General Liu."
After saying that, Liu Heng turned around and walked out of the house without waiting for anything to say.
The servants followed closely.
"Zhao Wu, give Eunuch Li a gift." Liu Heng said to Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu chased after Eunuch Li and others and left the signing room.
"If the imperial court really agrees to our request, do we really have to accept the recruitment? Shaanxi has been preparing for so long and is not moving anymore?" After everyone left, Yang Yuan asked Liu Heng.
Liu Heng left the back of his chair, put his arms on the edge of the table, and said: "If the court can agree, I don't mind carrying the tiger flag to accept the recruitment. As for the rebellion in Shaanxi, what does it have to do with us?"
"General, do you mean to fund the rebels in Shaanxi?" Yang Yuan frowned and said immediately, "Wang Jiayin is the person who killed our Tiger Flag. If we still support him, it will be too easy for him."
The news that Wang Jiayin killed Wu Hao had already spread back to Datong.
As the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, one of his subordinates was assassinated by Wang Jiayin, and he wanted to eat his flesh and blood to avenge his subordinates.
"Why should we support other people's rebellion? Our Tiger-Character Banner's army has already been prepared. I think we can march into Shaanxi now. The Li family in Yan'an Prefecture secretly supports it. Why should the Tiger-Character Banner hand over its belongings to others?" ." Liu Heng said.
In another time and space, Wang Jiayin's fame will become extremely great in the next few years, and more and more people will join him, including the most famous King Chuang.
Now that there is a tiger-character flag, Wang Jiayin will no longer be able to achieve the achievements of another time and space, and Yan'an Prefecture will no longer be a fertile ground for civil unrest in Shaanxi.
"Aren't you waiting for news from the court?" Yang Yuan asked.
Liu Heng said: "It is because the imperial court wants to recruit us, but it is not that we have to accept the recruitment. Let your Foreign Intelligence Bureau mobilize to assist the personal division to capture Yan'an Mansion and put down Wang Jiayin's rebellion."
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Yang Yuan stood up from his seat excitedly.
He will never let Wang Jiayin go.
Not long after Yang Yuan left, Zhao Wu returned to the house from outside.
"Sent away?" Liu Heng asked casually.
Zhao Wu said: "My subordinates watched them get on the carriage and arranged for people to keep an eye on them. No matter where they go, our people can find them immediately."
Liu Heng nodded, picked up a document on the table, and looked through it.
Yang Yuandao: "Except for members of the royal family, it is almost difficult for others to get a title. In order to recruit us this time, the court can come up with a title. It should be considered a big deal."
After the founding of the People's Republic of China and the Jingnan Period, there were very few people in the Ming Dynasty who were given titles, and titles were strictly controlled.
"That's because you haven't been forced to that point. If you are really forced to that point, the title of Ming Dynasty will be worthless. I'm afraid there will be as many princes as dogs and the princes will be everywhere." Liu Heng said disapprovingly.
