Just as Han You said, Wang Hai ordered people to inquire about it. Judging from the feedback information received at nightfall, the impression was indeed increased.
My uncle's family was so rich that all the refugees who came to the capital would donate money and materials in the name of merchants.
You must know that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works are responsible for providing relief to the refugees. It is precisely because of this that Shu Yunzhi, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Zhenghuai, the minister of the Ministry of Works, formed a friendship.
It can be said that before Han You appeared, the Shu family was the top brother in the Ministry of Industry.
It's just that the Shu family's donations of money and materials and soup kitchen relief were all in the name of merchants and private individuals, so not everyone knew about it.
In any case, Shu Hua is the first young man from Beijing to join the camp. After this guy joined the camp, Yidao Camp began to officially expand. The selection of "beloved people" must be kind-hearted, have no bad habits, and have a good family background. , have money, and have family background and money, you can give priority to the recruitment.
The news has completely spread in Beijing, but it gives the impression that Han You, the swordsman of the Yidao Guard, is extremely picky, and the person in charge below is also very famous, which means that if he can be taken to the East China Sea, he will definitely make meritorious deeds in the future. No one thinks I came here to take advantage of this.
Now that the news has been made public, the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers.
Han You didn't pay attention to this matter. He was more concerned about the news from the East China Sea.
When the first heavy rain poured down on the capital, the Goguryeo delegation entered the capital. It was a delegation, not an envoy. There were more than sixty people, half of whom were well-known figures in the Goguryeo royal court, and the remaining half It is a distinguished group. It is worth mentioning that Gao Minglin is still the chief envoy.
This shows that Gao Minlin, the queen's brother, has a high position and is deeply trusted by the royal court.
Han You was not in a hurry to enter Beijing to find the emperor's courtiers or Gao Minlin, but waited patiently.
One day passed, two days passed, and three days passed, but Han You felt relieved.
I'm here, let's talk with the representative.
The longer the conversation goes on, the more arguments there are on behalf of the person.
The more arguments there are, it means that Goguryeo is tempted.
I'm afraid that I won't even come, or that I won't talk much when I come.
Han You is not good at this kind of negotiation at the national level. He also knows very well that if he encounters something that cannot be solved by the monarch and his ministers, he will be called to intervene.
After five full days, news finally came from the palace. It was not that Han You was asked to go to court or enter the palace, but that he was asked to find Gao Minglin.
The eunuch didn't say what the emperor meant, what exactly he wanted to talk to Gao Minglin about, and how to talk about it. He just let him go.
Han You did not enter the city, but sent someone to Honglu Temple to inform Gao Minlin. He came to the villa for a banquet and only invited Gao Minlin.
There was no big banquet, it was still in the small courtyard, with two bottles of wine, four exquisite side dishes, a plate of dried fruits and a pot of tea, with only Wang Hai as company.
When Gao Ming arrived, he was all smiles. He was a regular visitor to the villa, and he also knew the capital and officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty. This was the highest standard in the villa.
From Beijing to the East China Sea, from the East China Sea to Goguryeo by boat, from Goguryeo again by boat back to the East China Sea, and finally to Beijing. The separation was only more than two months. Goguryeo lost a lot of weight. In the past few days, I went to the palace every day to meet with the emperor and his ministers. They were "arguing" and didn't look very good, looking exhausted.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your hospitality."
After sitting down, Gao Minglin smiled and said, "Why did you only invite the envoy?"
"To sow discord and make other people in your mission think that we have some private dealings."
Gao Minglin laughed loudly: "The little envoy thought that the commander-in-chief only knew the little envoy and the commander-in-chief."
Han You also laughed heartily, saying nothing at all.
Taking the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Gao Minlin, Han You asked casually: "I heard that there are more than sixty envoys entering Beijing this time?"
"One hundred and twenty-seven people."
Han You was stunned when he heard this: "Where are the others?"
"died."
Gao Minglin had a faint smile on his face, as if he was talking about the six envoys who were killed in Beijing.
"The death is unclear, and the body cannot even be found."
"Really?" Han You said calmly, "He died in our land of Great Zhou again."
"good."
"Did you kill him, or was it someone from Donghai?"
"When leaving Beijing, the young envoy was afraid that someone would interfere with it, so he rushed to the East China Sea without stopping. He took my Goguryeo warship. When we set sail at night, does the commander know who is chasing us?"
Han You sighed: "East China Sea Fleet Master."
"Yes, the East China Sea Marine Corps warship."
"Thanks."
Han You toasted a glass of wine: "If you had not returned to the East China Sea in a low-key manner and left at night, I believe that no warships would have chased you."
This is the truth. If Gao Minglin returns to the East China Sea in a big way, then those people in the East China Sea will definitely come to him to ask about the situation, etc. This shows that the other party still wants to form an alliance with Da Zhou.
It was precisely because he wanted to form an alliance with Dazhou that he left the capital quickly for fear that the news would be exposed. He also wanted to leave quickly by boat in a low-key manner, so as not to be killed and silenced by someone who wanted to cause trouble.
"When you left, you came back alive, but when you came back, one hundred and twenty-seven people, half of them dead?"
"Half of them died." Gao Minlin's tone was still extremely calm: "Whether it was the Ying thieves who killed them or not, it all counts on the Ying thieves. Two of the three ships were sunk, and half of them were dead. Near the East China Sea, all the merchant ships were dead. It’s an archer, a firebowman.”
Han You keenly noticed that Gao Minglin changed the name of the Ying people into "Ying thieves".
"That would be a great help to this commander."
Han You saw that Gao Minglin hated the Japanese thieves.
"Brother Gao, you have helped me so much, I must repay you, let me do a small thing for you."
Gao Minglin's expression changed slightly, and then he waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this."
Han You smiled and said: "A small thing, a small thing."
Gao Minglin asked tentatively: "Will you help me kill someone?"
"This is too easy for me. How many people should I kill?"
"one."
"One, tell me your name."
"Third Prince."
Han You almost spit out a sip of tea, and quickly covered up the confusion in his heart: "Why did you kill him? I am using this person, why don't you replace him?"
"Commander, do you really expect the Third Prince to help you accomplish this?"
"The Third Prince is quite experienced in this area. Didn't he spit out the people from the Blue Shirt Academy?"
"I have to remind you, they took advantage of Blue Shirt Academy, and now they want to take advantage of you. This place is full of bureaus. You can't let them harm you!"
"The Third Prince is unreliable. Who should I rely on? The Donghai Family."
Gao Minglin shook his head: "It's even more unreliable."
Han You didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "A group of people who only know how to eat and drink."
"yes."
"Are you eating it inside and out?"
"I won't eat it, what about you?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Han You looked confused: "The third prince is unreliable, and the aristocratic family is unreliable, so who can I rely on as the commander-in-chief?"
"Oh." Gao Minglin pointed to himself: "We."
"You are indeed powerful in Goguryeo."
"When I was seizing the throne in Goguryeo, I chopped off the royal court."
"Did you personally overthrow the previous royal family?"
"The envoy and Wang Tingwei killed the minister first with a single click of their swords."
"yes."
"It was overthrown. The brothers are still there, just scattered in various places. My brother is in Dawangcheng and my son-in-law is in Bocheng. I have taken command of them all. I will wait for Dazhou to agree and immediately assemble the army to attack Baekje."
"Brother Gao, chatting with you makes my heart brighter."
Gao Minglin laughed: "Do you know why it shines?
"Our hearts are clean."
"There is no self in my heart."
"Only for the country and the people."
"Big business."
"Dele, I agreed to do this for you. I will do it for you for three...not wait."
Han You almost said, "Tell me, why did you want to kill the third prince?"
"It was he who broke the news. When we boarded the ship from Goguryeo, he informed the East China Sea two days in advance and sent a warship disguised as a merchant ship to intercept us."
"ah?"
The more Han You listened, the more confused he became: "The third prince has been staying at Four Seasons Villa. How can he know when you will set off?"
Gao Minglin was even more confused than Han You: "The third prince has been in the mission. When did he come to Four Seasons Villa?"
"Just wait."
Han You finally came to his senses: "Are we talking about the third prince?"
"I'm talking about our third prince of Goguryeo."
"Grass."
Han You was convinced, but the more he listened, the more something was wrong.
"The commander-in-chief doesn't think he's talking about your prince, Prince Zhou, right?"
Gao Minglin was also completely convinced: "Why did I kill you third prince when I had nothing to do?"
"I'm wondering about this too."
Han You sneered. It was quite embarrassing. If word of this got out, the consequences would be disastrous. The commander of the Emperor's own army mistakenly thought that envoys from other countries wanted to kill the prince of his country, and he was chatting with great interest. Isn't this a traitor and a big evil?
Gao Minglin also reacted, his eyes incomprehensible.
No wonder this guy is so famous that he even dares to kill the prince of his own country, so calm and calm.
Wang Hai, who was standing next to him, hesitated to speak. Just now he wanted to remind him that there was also a third prince in the Goguryeo mission, but he never got in the conversation.
Han You asked curiously: "Your third prince is also on good terms with Japanese thieves. Is he a traitor?"
"Yes, but now I don't have any solid evidence."
"No wonder our two countries are on good terms." Han You said happily: "What a coincidence, the third prince here is also a traitor."
Gao Minglin couldn't laugh or cry.
He was not stupid. He had doubts about Zhou Ben being an undercover agent at first, but when he thought about it, he didn't believe a word of it.
But it doesn't matter now. From a personal point of view, Gao Minglin must promote an alliance between the two parties, and nothing else matters.
