Chapter 710 Peace Talks (2)
Brother Hao followed Yuxi into the study, and then straightened his spine. He had the same thought as Ah You, thinking that Yuxi was doing something wrong with him, and Yuxi wanted to discipline him.
Seeing this, Yuxi smiled, then took out a letter from the desk and handed it to Brother Hao: "This is the letter that mother received from Yang Duoming today, please take a look."
Brother Hao knew that he had misunderstood the letter when he saw the letter, and immediately accepted the letter with some embarrassment.
Since last year, Yuxi will tell everyone about important matters to Brother Hao. Naturally, Brother Hao also knew Yang Duoming's identity.
After reading the letter, Brother Hao said with an uneasy expression, "Mother, just after Jiangnan was captured, they are both beauties and mansions. Doesn't Daddy care?" If one or two are fine, but the problem is There are more than a dozen people who were named by Yang Duoming alone, and there are those who have not been found. Thinking about it, I feel shocking.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "I told your father about this before, but your father thinks that taking a concubine to buy a house is a private matter. Not only is he not going to take care of it, but he also asked his mother not to take care of it." Less suffering, so Yunqing feels that the conditions are good now, and everyone should enjoy it. Originally, Yunqing had a good idea, but he forgot his identity. If he doesn't restrain him, the generals below will have no scruples, and trouble will come sooner or later.
Brother Hao frowned invisibly: "The beauties and mansions were given away, and they didn't buy them themselves. If Dad doesn't control them, others will definitely follow suit, and there will definitely be a wife." People don't give beauties mansions for no reason, there must be something they want.
Yuxi was silent for a while and said: "Since your father told mother to leave it alone, it's not easy for mother to intervene, but you mother will not make a mess."
Brother Hao didn't understand, and said: "Mother, it's because Dad didn't think carefully about this matter, why do you still listen to him." He felt that it was not good for Yuxi to avoid it like this.
Yu Xi didn't explain, and said: "When you grow up, you will understand." If she makes decisions about everything and doesn't take Yun Qing's thoughts into consideration, the husband and wife will easily have conflicts. Many people outside want to provoke their relationship, and if they are not careful, they will be taken advantage of. In order to avoid this situation, Yuxi will go along with Yunqing in many things. Fortunately, Yunqing is only in charge of military affairs, and he doesn't interfere with government affairs, so until now, the husband and wife have never had any conflicts.
In fact, Brother Hao vaguely knew Yuxi's concerns, but it was his parents' business, so he couldn't say anything.
Yuxi said: "They think it's not a big deal to accept a beauty and take over a house, but they don't know that this is the first step for those people to corrupt them."
Brother Hao understood: "Mom, are you going to deal with them when things get serious in the future?"
Yuxi hummed and said: "Your father won't let mother intervene, and mother can't fight against your father. But when something big happens, your father can't stop it even if he wants to." As long as these people violate the laws and discipline When the matter comes, it will be dealt with at that time, and Yunqing will not be able to stop it.
Brother Hao nodded and said: "I know, mother is making progress by retreating." Hard confrontation will only make the relationship stiff, so her mother used this trick. Well, he has to learn a little bit.
Yuxi smiled and said: "The description is very appropriate. In the future, when you encounter difficult things to deal with, you will have to think more, so that you can find the best solution." What she said made Yu Xi helpless and had a headache.
Brother Hao nodded and said, "Mother, I will."
Yu Xi said with a serious face: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, and nothing can be taken lightly." Yunqing didn't pay attention to this matter, and he will definitely regret it in the future.
Although Brother Hao is only seven years old, Yuxi, who should be taught, has already started teaching. The foundation she and Yunqing laid down will belong to Brother Hao in the future. Teach now, let Brother Hao stand up earlier, and she will be more relaxed in the future.
Brother Hao nodded heavily.
Yuxi said: "You just know about it, don't tell others." This is why she specially called Brother Hao to the study to talk about it. Even Xu Wu didn't know about this.
Brother Hao hummed and said: "Mother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, even the eldest sister and grandpa, I won't say a word to them." Zaozao and Huo Changqing are the ones he trusts the most besides Yuxi people. As for the three little ones, they are still young and their mouths are not firm, let alone talk to them about things.
Yuxi stroked Brother Hao's head, and didn't tell him any more.
Zao Zao asked Brother Hao in private: "Ah Hao, is mother looking for something to do with you or is she training you?" Hearing that there was something to do, Zao Zao couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? I still have to talk to you in the study ?” Mysteriously, it aroused Zao Zao’s curiosity.
Brother Hao said: "It's all things you are not interested in, and you don't like to hear it when I tell you." Zao Zao is really not interested in this kind of intrigue.
Zao Zao cut it and said: "Don't talk about pulling down."
Brother Hao said with a smile: "This matter is a bit complicated, and it is not appropriate to let too many people know about it, or Mother wouldn't talk to me in the study."
Hearing this, Zao Zao lost interest: "It's the end of July now, and I don't know when Dad will come back."
Led by Qiu Lei, Han Jianming went to many places. And it happens to be summer, you can go swimming in the sea. Looking at the blue water, Han Jianming said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't swim." In fact, even if he could swim, he wouldn't go into the water. The reservedness of the aristocratic family made it impossible for him to undress in front of so many people. of.
Qiu Lei smiled and said: "My cousin doesn't want to go into the sea. You can take a boat and sit on the boat to fish. It's also a special flavor."
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid of seasickness." I heard that people who take a boat for the first time will get seasick. In order to maintain his image, he had better not try.
Qiu Lei said with a smile: "It was the first time I went out to sea by boat, and I vomited unconsciously. But after sitting a lot, I got used to it." They also took a boat from Beijing to Fujian, and he didn't vomit at that time. But the sea was too windy and turbulent, that's why he vomited so badly.
The two were on the beach, talking while walking. Tired of walking, standing on the beach and looking into the distance, I saw a vast expanse of whiteness, as if the sea and sky merged into one, and I couldn't tell whether it was water or sky.
Seeing such a scene, Han Jianming thought of a couplet: "The fog locks the mountains, the mountains lock the fog, the sky connects the water, the tail water connects the sky."
Qiu Lei praised: "My cousin is very talented."
Han Jianming said with a smile: "I read this from a book." After finishing speaking, he continued to look into the distance.
Under the bright sunshine, the sea water in the distance spreads like fish scales on the water surface, and like naughty children jumping towards the shore.
A sincere smile appeared on Han Jianming's face: "Looking at such a scene, even my heart has become open." There is a feeling of refreshment. Over the years, he has been working hard to revitalize his family business, and he hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.
Qiu Lei smiled and said, "If big cousin likes it, he can stay for a while." Qiu Lei knew the purpose of Han Jianming's visit this time. But he can't get involved in this matter, so he doesn't know.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "I would like to stay for a while longer. But Mother and your sister-in-law are still in Pickaxe City. If they go back late, they must be worried."
Qiu Lei expressed his understanding: "That's true. My elder brother went to sea, and my mother would be very worried when he came back at half past."
I don't know who said it: "It's rising."
The tide rose, and the waves in the sea rushed towards the shore one after another. Some rose up like rolling hills; some hit the reefs by the sea, splashing waves several meters high and making "wow, wow" sounds. Several flying seagulls are flying against the waves, as if showing his graceful dancing posture.
Han Jianming exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."
At this time, Qiu Lei's personal attendant ran over and said, "The Eldest Master has an order, please return the Second Master and Master Han immediately."
Qiu Lei saw that his confidant's face was not quite right, and asked: "What happened?"
The entourage was quite calm and said: "There is news from the front that King Pingxi sent troops to attack us."
Qiu Lei's face turned pale, and he asked Han Jianming, "Cousin, what's going on?" Han Jianming came to negotiate peace, but they sent troops to attack them again.
Han Jianming said with an unchanged look: "Go back!" Talking about this with Qiu Lei is a waste of time. If you want to talk, talk to Qiu Ye.
When Qiu Ye saw Han Jianming, he asked sullenly, "The 300,000 soldiers sent by Yunqing have already arrived at the border. How do you explain this?"
Han Jianming was not frightened by Qiu Ye's attitude: "Is there any explanation for this matter? Since my cousin doesn't want to talk about it, then we will see the truth on the battlefield."
The cold air released by Qiu Ye would freeze to death: "If I don't want to talk about peace, how can you sit here?"
Han Jianming didn't fluctuate at all: "The prince was unwilling to negotiate peace at the beginning, but the princess was concerned about the relationship between the two families, and didn't want to hurt the relationship with each other, so she tried her best to persuade the prince to agree to the peace talks. But cousin you The military power and government are not willing to let go, so how can we talk about it?" If the talks fail, it is natural to send troops.
A general surnamed Xia behind Qiu Ye said loudly: "If we fight, we have 500,000 troops, are we afraid of him?" lose. Of course, it's not too late to wait for the peace talks after losing, and admit defeat if you don't fight, it's really useless.
Han Jianming said coldly: "Yu Baojia has millions of soldiers, but where is he now? He is on the way to flee the capital. The princess wants peace talks. First, she cares about her relatives, and second, she doesn't want to waste people and money. The heavy casualties do not mean that the millions of troops in the Northwest cannot defeat Fujian."
General Xia said with unfriendly eyes: "If you keep talking, I will cut you off." He thought Han Jianming was a hundred dislikes, and he wanted to teach Han Jianming a lesson, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity.
Han Jianming's expression didn't fluctuate at all, and he said, "Since I dared to come, I didn't think about going back." That expression of death as if at home really shocked the people present.
Qiu Ye didn't want to go to war. Although they claimed to have 500,000 troops, this included the local army. In addition, he still has 100,000 soldiers and horses in Pingzhou, and he has to guard against Lei Peng taking advantage of the fire to loot. After all, only more than 200,000 elite soldiers can go to the battlefield. The strength of the Northwest soldiers is well known, and they have no chance of winning this battle.
After thinking for a while, Qiu Ye waved everyone down, preparing to talk to Han Jianming alone.
There were only two people left in the room, Qiu Ye said: "You tell me the truth, what kind of constitution is Princess Pingxi?"
Han Jianming said: "Cousin, as I said before, the princess really wants to talk about peace. It is your lack of sincerity that annoyed the prince, and this happened."
Qiu Ye said: "Then what will Yun Qing do to retreat?"
Han Jianming said: "I have already told my cousin about the conditions. As long as the power is handed over, and the army will obey the command of the prince in the future, everything else is easy to talk about."
Qiu Ye said: "If Yunqing wants to attack Lei Peng in the future, I will send troops to assist. But handing over the power is not a matter of discussion." Handing over the power is equivalent to being stuck by the throat.
Han Jianming said: "If the eldest cousin still has such an attitude, then there is no need for us to talk any further."
Qiu Ye said with an unfriendly expression: "Do you really think I won't touch you?" He didn't say the word "kill", it was already for the sake of brotherhood.
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Big cousin, even if the concubine doesn't want to go to war, if I die, she won't be able to negotiate peace with you again." In public or private, it is impossible for Yuxi to have peace talks with Qiu Ye .
After a pause, Han Jianming continued: "Brother, it took only four months for Yunqing to conquer the whole of Jiangnan. How long do you think it will take for him to conquer Fujian? By then, you will either become a prisoner or flee to sea."
There was a murderous look in Qiu Ye's eyes: "Are you threatening me?" At this time, the happy atmosphere of the cousins was long gone.
Han Jianming said calmly: "Big cousin, I'm not threatening you, but telling the truth. Big cousin, you probably don't want to choose these two paths!"
Qiu Ye said: "If I agree to your conditions, I will give up Fujian. Do you think it is possible?"
Han Jianming said with a smile: "We can talk about the conditions slowly. The most important thing is sincerity." It's impossible to agree on it right away, the conditions can only be negotiated slowly until everyone agrees.
Qiu Ye said: "Okay, I have already stated my conditions, you write to Han Yuxi to see what she said?"
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "Brother, you are still in control of Fujian's soldiers and horses. This is already the biggest concession we have ever made. But now you still want to hold the military power and regime in your hands, which means that Fujian is separated from the Northwest regime. Besides, do you think the prince and concubine will agree?" So there is no need to send this letter at all, it is a waste of time.
After a pause, Han Jianming said again: "Big cousin, I've already said what needs to be said. If you don't give in an inch, there's nothing I can do."
After being silent for a while, Qiu Ye said, "Let me think about it again." He had to discuss it with his staff.
Han Jianming said: "The lord and the concubine are trustworthy people. My cousin doesn't have to worry about the lord and the concubine killing donkeys. I can guarantee this with my head."
Qiu Ye's tone softened a lot, and he said, "It's really useless for me to take your head." Speaking of it, both Yu Xi and Yun Qing have good reputations outside. Yuxi is generous and benevolent, she takes pity on the weak and loves the people like a son; Yunqing has great faith, and also treats those generals who surrendered preferentially. In this respect, Yan Wushuang is far behind.
There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that there is a beauty whose name is monthly, and who is born to overwhelm the city and the country. Xiaosheng asks to meet the beauty, and I hope all the book friends will make it happen! (to be continued)
