Chapter 712: Peace Talks (4)

Yuxi received the agreement sent back by Han Jianming, and immediately called Tan Tuo, Liu Biyuan, and Cao Boting over to discuss.

After reading the agreement, Tan Tuo said, "Princess, the military power will continue to be in the hands of Qiu Ye, and there will be endless troubles." Only with the military power in hand can you have the real right to speak. Similarly, without military power, control of Fujian will be lost at any time.

Yuxi said: "It's not realistic to want Qiu Ye to hand over military power, unless it is to start a war to bring down Fujian." Military power is fundamental, forcing Qiu Ye to hand over military power is tantamount to forcing Qiu Ye to go to war. To start a war would defeat his original intention.

Tan Tuo said: "In this case, there will be a hidden danger." With military power, Qiu Ye has the capital to rebel.

Yuxi said: "I know your worry. But as long as our side is stable and there is no trouble, if Qiu Ye dares to make trouble anyway, the prince will send troops [UU READING 00kxs] to clean him up." They are all subdued, and it is easy to clean up Qiu Ye.

Tan Tuo fell silent when he heard this.

Liu Biyuan said: "Princess, the shortage of the two chief envoys is from Qiu Ye. Even if the governor is appointed by us, it will not be conducive to carrying out the work. Wangfei, at least one of the two chief envoys must be from us."

Qiu Ye's condition is that the governor can be appointed by the Northwest, and the left and right ministers can't move, they must be his people.

Cao Boting said: "Not only must one of the two chief envoys be ours, but we must also appoint the procuratorate, and we must also appoint the prefects and county magistrates of the prefectures and counties."

Yuxi smiled and said: "It is unrealistic for us to appoint all of them, but at least two-thirds of the officials must be appointed by us." Since it is a negotiation, there must be some leeway. Law talked.

When the matter was over, it was already dark. Yu Xi handed the letter to Xu Wu before returning to the backyard.

Brother You was doing homework in the room, when he heard Yuxi's footsteps, he came out of the room. Seeing Yuxi, Brother You complained: "Mom, you always ask us to eat at a certain time, which is good for your health, but you can't do it yourself." His mother forgot the meal time when she was busy, she didn't care about her body up.

Yuxi smiled and took Brother You's hand and said: "I just discussed with Mr. Tan and the others, so I can't leave them halfway through the discussion and come back for dinner, right?"

Brother Yu was very upset: "Mother, just leave those matters to them."

Although the words were very childish, Yuxi knew that Brother Yu loved her dearly, and she felt warm in her heart: "Now there is a war ahead, mother must be busy, and it will be fine when the war is over."

Brother Yu muttered: "I don't know when dad will come back?" When dad comes back, mother won't have to work so hard. Think back when father was at home, mother could still tell them stories at night. But as soon as dad left, his mother was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat.

Yuxi smiled and said: "I'll come back when the Jiangnan affairs are settled." When the Fujian affairs are resolved, and the eldest brother becomes the governor of Jiangnan, Yunqing will be able to return to Hao City.

After saying this, Yu Xi looked down at Brother Yu and said, "Did you miss your father?"

Brother Yu turned his face away and said, "I don't want to!" I don't know how comfortable I am when my father is away! Dad was at home, trembling every day, and was beaten for doing something wrong. That day, don't mention how hard it is.

Knowing a son is better than a mother, how can Yuxi not know that Brother Yu's words are duplicity. Don't look at Brother Yu's indifferent look, in fact, he has no less admiration and love for Yunqing than Brother Rui and the others.

The food was served quickly, and Yu Xi patted Brother You on the shoulder and said, "Go and do your homework quickly, and go to bed early after finishing your homework." Because the triplets have to get up early in the morning to practice martial arts, they not only have to complete the homework assigned by their husband at night , I have to practice calligraphy and review homework. So the task at night is not easy at all.

Wait until Brother Yu is gone,

Sister Quan said with a smile: "People say that daughters are caring, and Fourth Young Master is no worse than daughters!"

Yuxi sat down and said: "It's good when you don't cause trouble." When trouble happened, Yuxi wished he could go back to the furnace and rebuild.

Sister Quan smiled and said, "Boys are always naughty." She was too honest, so she should be worried.

After washing and wiping her face, Yu Xi went to the table to eat. Now that the weather is hot, Yuxi's diet is mainly light.

After dinner, Yuxi said to Nanny Quan: "Mommy, follow me to the garden for a walk!" Normally, in her free time, Yuxi would go out for a walk after dinner.

Sister Quan looked up at Yuxi, then nodded and said, "Okay." She specially called her to follow, fearing that something might happen.

Yuxi often went for a walk in the garden at night, so she lit a lantern on the way she used to walk.

Sister Quan walked halfway, and asked: "Princess, you can just tell me what's going on. Is there something wrong with Zheng Yu?" She has lived for so long, and nothing has happened.

Yu Xi hummed and said: "Quan Zhengyu's father-in-law was implicated in a life lawsuit, and Quan Zhengyu found a scapegoat in order to exonerate his father-in-law."

Mother Quan's complexion changed, she shook her head and said, "Impossible, how could Zheng Yu do something that knowingly broke the law for his father-in-law?" As for Zheng Yu's selfish nature, when his father-in-law was implicated in a death lawsuit, he first thought To get rid of the relationship and clear the suspicion, how can I help.

Yu Xi said: "Master Xu has Quan Zheng Yu taking bribes in his hands, he has to help if he doesn't want to." It was also after the investigation that Yu Xi would tell Nanny Quan about it.

Sister Quan sighed and said, "Princess, what kind of punishment will he receive?" She has no face to plead for mercy, and she also knows that even pleading is useless. Quan Zhengyu violated the law, so he must be convicted according to the law.

Yuxi said: "Dismissed from office, confiscated family property, never hired. For the sake of mammy, I won't be exiled, let's issue my original place of origin!" Normally speaking, it must be exiled for three years. However, Quan Zhengyu was brought up by Nanny Quan alone. If he were to be exiled to the West Sea, Nanny Quan would definitely feel sad.

Upon hearing Yuxi's words, Mother Quan said: "Princess, the state owns the laws of the state, and the family has family rules. Since he violated the laws of the state, he should be dealt with according to the law. I can't ruin the reputation of the concubine because of me."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "It's okay." Quan Zhengyu's punishment was not light, and outsiders knew that they couldn't say anything about it.

Sister Quan said sadly: "I cultivated him so hard, hoping that he could revitalize the whole family, but I didn't expect... Cough, forget it, maybe the whole family is the fate of mudlegs!" She wanted the whole family to change their families, But no one in the family was up to date, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Yuxi said with a smile: "You don't have to think so much, you just let things take their course." In fact, Yuxi thinks that life in the countryside is simple, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Sister Quan said: "Princess Wang, I will see him off when I think of it." After all, the child who was raised by herself cannot be let go.

Naturally, Yuxi would not refuse: "If Madam really wants the whole family to change their family, she should buy them some properties and make it clear that the future of these properties is the cost of education for future generations. I think there will always be a few children who can go to school in the whole family. "Taking shortcuts is the most undesirable thing, and it is the easiest way to lose your sense of normalcy. Quan Zhengyu is the best example. Quan Zhengyu was not dissatisfied when he started working as the chief bookkeeper, because he thought he would get promoted soon. But I didn't expect that after a few years, I didn't get promoted, and my mentality gradually changed. In officialdom, if you can't keep your heart, you can easily be led astray.

Sister Quan nodded and said: "I will think about this matter carefully." After finishing speaking, Sister Quan apologized: "You are so busy every day, and you still have to work hard for me."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Mommy, I actually think this is a good thing. With Quan Zhengyu's temperament, the higher he climbs, the harder he falls. At least now he has to have all his tails." The next matter is too big, even if she has the face of Quan Momo, she will not show mercy.

Sister Quan nodded and said, "You're right." It's better to be sent back to the place of origin now than to be beheaded in the future.

Walking halfway, Yuxi smiled and said: "Go back!" It's been a quarter of an hour since I left, and it's almost the same.

Back in the yard, Yuxi didn't go to sleep immediately, but went to the study to review the papers.

The next day, when Xu Wu saw Yu Xi, he told her one thing: "Princess, Falcon has sent a message that the treasures are on their way to the capital."

Hearing this, Yuxi raised her head and asked Xu Wu: "What? I still can't let go, and want to send someone to snatch it?"

Xu Wu really had this idea: "Even if you can't grab it, you can't take advantage of Yan Wushuang." The money originally belonged to them, but now it is in Yan Wushuang's hands. Thinking about it, I can't be reconciled!

Yu Xi said: "Yan Wushuang wishes we could send someone to hijack this batch of property! He can kill as many as he goes." No need to think about Yu Xi, she also knows that in addition to the escort of elite soldiers, Yan Wushuang must have arranged a lot in secret people. Once people are really sent there, these people will definitely go and never return.

Xu Wu is not as calm as Yu Xi, as long as he thinks of tens of millions of gold and silver, he can't calm down: "Then you can't just do nothing, right?"

Yuxi said: "Let Falcon spread the news, other than that, we can't do anything."

Seeing that Xu Wu still wanted to talk, Yu Xi waved his hands and said, "There's no need to talk about this, I can't let my subordinates die in vain." Fighting Yan Wushuang will definitely kill people, but these people's deaths must be worthwhile.

Xu Wu felt a little regretful, and said, "Yes."

Under the governance of Yan Wushuang, Shandong and Hebei no longer have bandits and robbers. And Yuxi didn't send anyone to hijack them, so the treasures were safe and sound all the way.

Meng Nian said: "My lord, the treasures will arrive in the afternoon." No matter what, it's good that the treasures arrive in the capital safely.

Yan Wushuang said: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have sent Gao Dongnan, and let the local people arrange someone to deliver it. It's a pity." Because he arranged for elite soldiers, Falcon didn't show up. If the Falcon had appeared this time, he would surely have caught it.

Hearing this, Meng Nian said, "My lord, this batch of treasures is more important than falcons." With this batch of treasures, they can do many things.

Yan Wushuang said: "This is our territory, even if they rob this batch of treasures, they won't be able to transport them out."

Meng Nian said without thinking, "They can't be shipped out, but they can be hidden or destroyed." Gold and silver cannot be melted, but they can be thrown into the mountains or poured into rivers.

Yan Wushuang wasn't angry either, it was only after these treasures arrived in the capital that he said this. Yan Wushuang said: "Falcon doesn't do anything, it should be Han Yuxi's intention."

Meng Nian agreed with this point: "Speaking of which, Han Yuxi is really stable. She can't be tempted by such a large amount of treasure." Not to mention other people, even he himself may not be stable in the face of such a big temptation.

Yan Wushuang said: "I didn't expect that either." Yuxi's behavior this time really exceeded Yan Wushuang's expectations.

Meng Nian changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the arrival of hundreds of large camphorwood boxes in the capital will definitely attract people's attention. To prevent sāo ** from happening, let them enter Beijing at night!"

Yan Wushuang nodded.

It was also on this day that Han Jianming finally received Yuxi's reply. After reading Yuxi's reply, Han Jianming was not surprised at all. But when he saw Qiu Ye, he still had a bitter look on his face.

Seeing his expression, Qiu Ye knew that things were not going well. Qiu Ye asked, "What did Princess Pingxi say?"

Han Jianming talked about Yuxi's conditions, and said after finishing speaking: "That's what the princess said."

Qiu Ye snorted and said, "I've promised the governor to be appointed by you, but now I still want a vacancy for a chief envoy, isn't it too aggressive?" If Han Yuxi's conditions are agreed, the master control will be lost.

Han Jianming said: "Cousin, when I came, the princess' intention was very clear that the power must be handed over. But now, the princess has already made a concession."

Qiu Ye said with an unfriendly expression: "This matter is not for discussion." Qiu Ye promised the governor to be appointed by Yuxi before, but he wanted the two chief envoys to take the governor aside. Han Yuxi's current conditions thwarted his plan.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "The princess said in the letter that this is her bottom line, and I can't let it go any further."

Negotiations have reached an impasse.

That night, Qiu Ye was discussing this matter with his staff. The old lady Xiao's personal servant girl hurried over and said: "My lord, it's not good, the old lady has fainted."

Qiu Ye didn't care about anything, and immediately went to the old lady's yard. After the doctor's rescue, the old lady woke up in the middle of the night.

The next day, Qiu Ye looked for Han Jianming with bloodshot eyes, and said, "I can agree to Princess Pingxi's conditions, but I have one request."

Han Jianming said: "You say." As long as it is within a reasonable range, he can agree. If it is unreasonable, he will naturally refuse.

Qiu Ye said: "I am going to send troops to attack Guangdong at the end of September, King Pingxi must send me 200,000 troops."

Han Jianming shook his head and said without thinking, "Cousin, if you want the prince to send troops to attack Fujian with you, then there is some discussion. But you can dispatch 200,000 troops, the prince and the princess will not agree." Now it is They had the upper hand, how could they agree to Qiu Ye's unreasonable request.

Qiu Ye struggled for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, as long as they agree to send troops to attack Guangdong with me in September, I will agree to their conditions."

Han Jianming didn't know what happened, but it was clear that the current situation was in her favor: "Success, I'll write the letter now." (To be continued)
