Chapter 643: The Wind Blows and the Clouds Fly
Turning to face Shang Jianxiong, "As long as the army leaves Nanzhou, even if he wins, he will suffer huge losses. Isn't it easy to kill the Nanzhou army afterwards? It's too easy to cut off the army's supplies Already!"
Shang Jianxiong repeatedly nodded and said, "Da Sikong is an old man who seeks the country."
Tong Mo: "Now it's not a matter of giving military power to the counter-insurgency general, but whether giving such temporary military power can persuade Nanzhou to send troops. If the other party insists on using the military power of the great Sima as an excuse to send troops, then everything will be in vain. At that time, we can only try our best to force the princes of the five routes to use their lives, it is really impossible..." The words stopped here.
Shang Jianxiong was about to listen to his next words, seeing that he had listened, he hurriedly asked: "How?"
Tong Mo seemed to have made a lot of determination before saying, "If you can't do it, ask Zhao Guo for help, please Zhao Guo send troops to help!"
He had been discussing his position before, but Shang Yongzhong didn't open his mouth. This matter has nothing to do with him, and he finally spoke out, "Zhao Guo has ulterior motives by the side, and he sits and enjoys his success. How can he easily use soldiers for me, Dayan?"
"Of course not, but we can talk about it! You can first send someone to contact His Majesty's aunt, the Empress Dowager Shang, and ask her to speak for her. If that doesn't work, then cede Nanzhou to Zhao Guo as a condition for sending troops." Tong Mo gritted his teeth and said the traitorous idea. Word.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this must be traitorous, but in the eyes of the few people in front of them, it is a desperate move to survive.
The eyes of several people flickered, and they sensed his sinister intentions. If Nanzhou did not send troops, they would simply send Nanzhou to Zhao Guo in exchange for the opportunity to send troops.
As an emperor, Shang Jianxiong was a little hesitant to cede the land, and it was hard to say.
Shang Yongzhong hesitated and said: "Nanzhou is a thorn in the head. If it is given to Zhao Guo, it will be difficult for Zhao Guo to swallow it smoothly. Based on this alone, I am afraid that Zhao Guo will not agree easily."
Tong Mo gritted his teeth again and said, "Then cede Dingzhou to Zhao Guo again, and if you don't agree, you can cede another state until Zhao Guo agrees to send troops!"
Shang Jianxiong remained silent.
Gao Jiancheng, who was also silent for a while, said slowly: "If I really want to do this, I'm afraid I will never get rid of the hat of a traitorous minister of Dayan."
Tong Mo looked back, "Do you think I would like to see this happen? This way at least we can keep Dayan. A surviving Dayan is better than an extinct Dayan! As long as Dayan is still there, there will still be lost ones." Get the chance back, or lose both!"
This topic is rather heavy, but once it comes to life and death, what is more important than living? At that time, it would be the only way to survive.
Shang Jianxiong's silence means that he does not object, which means that the matter is basically settled like this. First, he will test it out as the general of counter-insurgency to see if he can let Nanzhou send troops. If there is no other way, he can only follow what Tong Mo said. Survived with a broken arm.
Gao Jiancheng sighed helplessly in his heart, unfortunately he was expected, he would rather give it to a foreign thief than a domestic slave, here he would rather cede the land to others than give the military power of the Great Sima of the Yan Kingdom to the Shang Dynasty Zong.
He can also understand Tong Mo's attitude. Firstly, it is because of Shang Jianxiong, and secondly, it is because of Tong Mo himself. Back then, Tong Mo and King Ning had a very unpleasant quarrel, and the hatred seemed to be formed from that woman in Jinzhou. down. Back then, many people coveted that woman's beauty, Tong Mo was one of them, and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy that woman. I heard that at that time, the man had already got his hands and all his clothes were taken off. Just when the good deed was about to be completed, King Ning Wenfeng, who had returned from the expedition, led his men and horses, and beat Tong Mo severely, causing Tong Mo to lose face. That woman seems to have followed King Ning. Being robbed of a woman has become a joke in Beijing, this is Tong Mo's great shame and humiliation!
Later, King Ning repeatedly accused him of his character and prevented Tong Mo from ascending to the throne. Coupled with the following things, how dare Tong Mo let King Ning's son regain the power of soldiers and horses in Yan Kingdom!
It is precisely because of this enmity that Tong Mo and King Ning stand on opposite sides, and because of this, they are now being used to fight against King Ning, and they have been an extremely human minister to this day!
After the three important ministers left the imperial study, Shang Jianxiong sighed, watched the three leaving, shook his head and said, "Da Situ lost his composure today."
After approaching, Tian Yu smiled lightly and said, "It's somewhat selfish. After all, my son died at the hands of Niu Youdao and those people. Go to assassinate Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao controls Nanzhou with one hand. Once Nanzhou With the military power over there, the Gao family still doesn't know what will happen."
Shang Jianxiong said: "Man, who can have no selfishness, as long as the selfishness is not detrimental to the country, as long as the selfishness is on the side of state affairs, it is harmless! Da Situ still has a heart of public loyalty to the country." Gao Jiancheng looked relieved, as long as the ministers around him were closely united by his side, he would have nothing to be afraid of.
Tian Yu bowed, "Your Majesty said so."
Outside the hall, Gao Jiancheng strode forward, Tong Mo deliberately slowed down, Shang Yongzhong glanced at him, and slowed down accordingly.
After Gao Jiancheng left, Tong Mo said slowly, "Da Situ is a bit abnormal today compared to the past."
Shang Yongzhong smiled and helped him secure his position, what's wrong with being abnormal? It would be better if he was always like this in the future, and he replied without pain, "It's understandable, my son died at the hands of the other party, and it is inevitable that I will be a little excited."
Tong Mo glanced at him and sneered, "Is that true? I think he is a little abnormal, I think he is deliberately trying to win His Majesty's favor, don't be blinded by him." The slow walk was just to remind him.
Shang Yongzhong understood what he meant, and was worried that he would repay Gao Jiancheng's good intentions and go to Gao Jiancheng's side, and immediately bowed slightly and said: "Don't worry, Da Sikong, Shang regards His Majesty as his majesty and Da Sikong as his leader, and will not flatter you Bewildered!"
Tong Mo smiled slightly, and then left with a normal pace...
The decision in the palace soon spread to Maolu Mountain Villa. At this time, it seems that only Maolu Mountain Villa can be the master of this kind of matter in Nanzhou.
The Shang Dynasty Zong could not be the master. Dachan Mountain couldn't play so big, so he pretended to be dead on the sidelines, for fear of causing trouble.
Therefore, the three major factions basically communicated directly with the Maolu Villa.
After receiving the news, Long Xiu naturally found Niu Youdao immediately.
After hearing what the court said, Niu Youdao was somewhat surprised, thinking that the court would refuse, and then lower the conditions on his side, but who knows that the court directly gave the result of the concession, which saved him from going around in circles.
However, he was still not so happy, and sighed, "It seems that the court is still not sincere!"
Long Xiu originally thought that he had used some other means to get the court to agree, but no one could have imagined that, but found that he had overestimated this guy a bit, and wasted some time here, even Gong Lince and Meng Xuan were right. He complained quite a bit, probably blaming him. Is it still necessary to ask the court this kind of question? The imperial court will definitely not agree, it is simply superfluous!
"The military power of the Great Sima is not a child's play. It's not that the court is not sincere, but it depends on your sincerity to suppress the rebellion! The general's military power to counter the rebellion is sufficient, and the size of the court is relatively accurate. If you are not satisfied, then It just shows that you have ulterior motives."
When he said this, Long Xiu glanced at the man in the floral dress not far away. If it wasn't for the fact that the elite forces of the three major factions had basically gathered on the side of the frontier army, they couldn't spare a hand to clean up this side. Otherwise, how could he be so polite? It gave the thatched cottage the color.
Before, because of the cut-off of food, he was even moved to kill Niu Youdao, but the plan was not as good as changing. Who knew that the alliance of the five princes was a fool, and he ran to beg for help before he could deal with Niu Youdao. At this time, killing Niu Youdao caused chaos in Nanzhou, let alone expect Nanzhou to send troops to suppress the rebellion.
Niu Youdao: "Palace Master, it's not that I want to bargain, but I want to compare my heart to heart. I just want to ask Palace Master, what benefits will Nanzhou have after Nanzhou sends troops?"
Long Xiu raised his eyebrows: "What benefits do you want?" He felt a little suffocated.
Niu Youdao: "The palace lord has already reached this point, if I don't send troops again, I will be ignorant, and I will have no face to face the palace lord again. I just want a comforting reason to send troops, and I don't want anything else from the court after the event is over. I don’t expect the imperial court to give anything, please ask the imperial court to give an explanation to the officers and soldiers of Nanzhou, and to the king of Yongping County, so that the prince can get back some lost things!"
Long Xiu was curious, "What?"
Niu Youdao: "The position of King Ning is a hereditary prince, which can be passed on to his descendants. The Prince of Yongping County was originally a prince, but was demoted to become a county prince later. How about restoring the title of prince?"
this one? This was not a difficult task for Long Xiu, it was just a false name, and he agreed on the spot, "Okay, I will guarantee this matter. As long as Nanzhou sends troops to quell the rebellion, no matter whether the rebellion can be successfully suppressed afterwards, the palace will guarantee the business Chaozong takes back the title of prince!"
Niu Youdao immediately cupped his hands, saying from the bottom of his heart: "The palace master is the guarantor, Niu Youdao will naturally be convinced, please make an edict from the imperial court, when the edict arrives, it will be the day when the Nanzhou army goes out to suppress the rebellion!"
This is the right attitude, Long Xiu smiled...
After this was settled, Long Xiu also left, and hurried back to the capital to let the imperial court issue an urgent order, this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
Shang Shuqing is accompanying Meng Shanming, after Meng Shanming, only Shang Shuqing is close, and Shang Shuqing can only be with him.
Niu Youdao, who sent Longxiu away, came and told Meng Shanming the finalized result. There is no need to shy away from Shang Shuqing about such things.
Knowing that she could help her brother get back the lost princely position, Shang Shuqing's eyes turned red for no reason.
Meng Shanming was also moved.
After talking about the details, Niu Youdao said: "The matter has been decided, that's all I can do, the next thing is to see the prince and Meng Shuai."
Meng Shanming sat on the wheelchair and bowed his hands, "The old man thanked the Taoist Lord on behalf of Dayan, and thanked the Taoist Lord on behalf of the prince. Meng Shanming will definitely live up to the great trust of the Taoist Lord, and he will die after doing his best!"
Shang Shuqing also squatted down and saluted Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be too polite, "I will arrange for Meng Shuai to go back and wait for the court's order. After Meng Shuai returns, he can remind the prince that the princess is a heroine on the battlefield, so she should come out to breathe. "It's better to die on the battlefield than to suffocate her at home. The prince has no shortage of women, so why can't he tolerate a Feng Ruonan? It's chilling to be too fickle and ungrateful. I cheated the princess of the money back then, and I haven't paid it back yet. I owe the concubine favor, I hope the prince can treat the concubine well!"
He didn't say it clearly before, but this time he helped Feng Ruonan speak clearly.
Tears welled up in Shang Shuqing's eyes, and she wiped her eyes with her sleeves. Guan Fangyi also pursed her lips.
Neither of them thought that Niu Youdao could still think about it at this time, and the two women were hit softly in their hearts.
Meng Shanming cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Don't worry, Daoist. I will try my best to persuade the prince when I go back. If the prince doesn't agree, I will never let go. As long as the old man is here for a day, I will never let anyone easily embarrass the princess again!"
Niu Youdao nodded with his sword, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Meng Shuai has a smooth journey!"
