Chapter 711 Blackmail
"Ah!" Caught off guard, Jia Wuqun cried out in pain.
Seeing this situation, the attendants outside the hall reacted immediately, but were decisively stopped by the disciples of Wanshoumen, and someone appeared from both sides, directly surrounding those attendants.
The few attendants could neither watch Jia Wuqun get hurt, nor dare to act rashly in Wanshoumen.
But if Jia Wuqun had something wrong with Wanshoumen, they would not be able to pay the job back, it was really a dilemma.
It was Jia Wuqun who was more generous, and quickly gestured to the followers at the door to signal not to mess around, and then let them go down the steps.
Xi Haitang brushed off the beard in his hand, and stared at Jia Wuqun coldly.
All the high-level executives of Wanshoumen who were present looked at Jia Wuqun with unkind expressions.
Jia Wuqun raised his hand and touched his chin, looked at the deep red blood stain on his hand, the corner of his mouth twitched, then smiled, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Ignoring the covetous eyes of Wanshoumen, he looked left and right for a while, walked away from the front of Xihai Hall, and walked to the side of the hall.
With a swish, a treasured sword was drawn from the sword stand on the side of the hall, and the thumb was scratched on the edge of the sword to feel the sharpness.
Everyone thought he was going to fight with his sword or something, but who knew that he walked up to the shining copper pillar, used the copper pillar as a mirror, pulled the beard on his upper lip, and cut it off with his sword.
Afterwards, it was even more exaggerated, holding the sword in front of the copper pillar and shaving his beard in front of the crowd, while still muttering, "Usually, the prime minister would never dare to provoke the Wanshoumen, but if he really wants to push the prime minister into a desperate situation, for his own sake Bao, I'm afraid the prime minister won't be able to take care of that much."
call! Blowing on the beard on the edge of the sword, "Of course, the prime minister doesn't have the ability to confront Wanshoumen head-on. He doesn't have hard power, but he still has soft power. The prime minister's downfall will not only affect the prime minister, but a group of people under the prime minister." People, in order to protect their own interests, they cannot let the big tree of the prime minister fall, and they will definitely try their best."
"For example, the vegetation is verdant on the side of Wanshou Gate, and the surrounding local people have nothing to do to catch a bandit. If you are not careful, a wildfire will easily occur. It is estimated that the wandering bandits will easily run here, and the local people will inevitably You have to be loyal to your duties, and if there is any harassment at that time, I hope Wanshoumen will not be offended. I think Wanshoumen will not let lawlessness run rampant in the Song Dynasty, otherwise it will be against the imperial court and the entire Song Dynasty. The practice sect is against you!"
"In short, things in this place have always been full of tricks. If the prime minister's prestige in the court is still there, he can still restrain himself. If the prime minister's prestige does not exist, he still doesn't know what messes the people below will do. When the time comes, There will be endless turmoil in the Wanshoumen, and some people will keep tossing until the three major factions are satisfied! Or until the Wanshoumen can't stay in the Song Dynasty anymore. But Wanshoumen left Where can the Song Kingdom go? Which country's power will allow a behemoth like the Wanshoumen to have a foot in its own territory?"
"Wan Beast Sect is a business for people all over the world. They are worried about offending Yan State. Why don't they worry about offending Song State? It's still the same sentence, even if Song State is defeated! Wan Beast Sect has been in Song State for many years and has no The sphere of influence can also be guaranteed to be clean and undisturbed. The court of the Song Dynasty has done its best for the Wanshoumen, and the prime minister has also done its best for the Wanshoumen. Now that the Song Dynasty is in danger, the prime minister is also in trouble, and the Wanshoumen But he refuses to lend a helping hand, this truth cannot be justified anywhere, if this is the case, no matter whether it is the court or the prime minister, it seems that there is no need to maintain this friendship."
"His Majesty the Emperor is the ruler of a country. For the sake of the overall situation, he will be afraid of some things, and he doesn't want to mess up his own home. But the prime minister is different. It's better if there is nothing wrong with each other. If you really want to be forced to have nowhere to go, The prime minister can only care about protecting the present, but he doesn't care about how the Wanshoumen will retaliate in the future, they can't protect the present, so they don't care about the flood in the future!"
The clarity reflected by the copper pillar was limited, and it was inconvenient to shave the sword. Jia Wuqun shaved casually, raised his hand to feel the stubble, wiped the sword on the sleeve, and went back to the sword stand to put the sword back into its sheath.
Turning around, he raised his sleeve and wiped the blood on his lips, then walked back to Xihaitang's side, "Beards are trivial things, they can grow longer if they are gone, and it is right for the master to punish Jia Wuqun slightly. Whoever made Jia Wuqun rude, but Jia A certain one is also at a loss. To tell you the truth, the prime minister issued a death order and asked me to bring back a letter of approval today. If Wanshoumen is willing to help the prime minister, everything will be fine. If Wanshoumen insists on tearing apart the prime minister, Wan The relationships operated by the Beast Sect in the court can stop others, but they can't stop the prime minister's anger. The Wanshou Sect can now find another place to prepare for the move. At least the Song Kingdom can no longer accommodate the Wanshou Sect. Already! Uh..."
Xi Haitang, whose eyes were full of anger, suddenly grabbed his neck. An ordinary man dared to run so rampant in the main hall of Wanshou Gate, which made him very angry!
Seeing that Jia Wuqun was pinched, his face turned red and he rolled his eyes, and he was about to die, an elder came out from both sides to hold Xihaitang, fearing that he would really kill Jia Wuqun, and there would be no peace between Wanshoumen and Zipingxiu. room. Before making the final decision, there is no need to kill Zi Pingxiu's person, after all, this person has a very important relationship with Zi Pingxiu.
Xi Haitang let go, and Jia Wuqun also fell to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing, gasping heavily.
Feeling slightly calm, Jia Wuqun, who was lying on the ground, said again: "Now is also a good opportunity for Wanshoumen. Usually, the three major factions intend to suppress Wanshoumen and refuse to give Wanshoumen its sphere of influence. In this situation, the three The big faction is in danger, and if the prime minister urges the court to put pressure on the three big factions, the three big factions will definitely let go. The Wanshoumen can take this opportunity to include this area in their hands and truly control their own sphere of influence. The Ten Thousand Beasts will conduct self-examination, and it will be difficult for outsiders to intervene."
"Get out!" Xi Haitang shouted angrily.
Immediately, two disciples came over and lifted up Jia Wuqun who had just got up, and they really dragged him out.
Together with several followers outside the hall, they were all driven away, and blasted out of the mountain gate all the way.
Although people were kicked out of the mountain gate, Jia Wuqun, who was in a state of embarrassment, had no intention of leaving. He found a stone, sat down there and waited...
There was a lot of discussion in the main hall of Wanshoumen, and Zi Pingxiu's intention conveyed by Jia Wuqun had to be discussed, which was already Zi Pingxiu's ultimatum to Wanshoumen.
It's Zi Pingxiu's intention to turn his face without any effort!
Changing the usual, Wanshoumen doesn't think that Zi Pingxiu has such courage, is Wanshoumen so easy to provoke? But this time is different, Zi Pingxiu seems to be forced to jump over the wall.
Elder Chao Jing came in from outside the hall and asked, "I heard that Zi Pingxiu sent someone here to threaten us?"
Xi Haitang asked back: "Did Chao Shenghuai find out anything else?"
Speaking of this, Chao Jing became angry, and his grandson was involved, and he was very upset, "I have repeatedly confirmed that the assassination of the Song envoy, he did see that the people from the Yan State envoy did it, so it shouldn't be There are fakes."
Even if Chao Shenghuai was killed, he didn't dare to admit that there was something tricky about it, so Chao Shenghuai bit him to death and refused to let him go.
Xi Haitang sneered: "The people of Yan State are not stupid, how could they do such a stupid thing, behind this must be some kind of manipulation by Song State. The situation is obvious, Song State wanted to provoke a war before, but I didn't expect to lift a stone and smash it My own feet were beaten by Yan Guo, and now I am in a hurry to go to the doctor, but I want to drag my Wanshoumen into the water, a bunch of bastards!"
Everyone nodded when they heard the words. The matter is indeed obvious. If nothing else is said, the rebellion in Wu Gongling in Cangzhou, Yan State, was not a temporary initiative, and it was clearly planned for a long time in secret. What a strange thing.
Now the matter of Chao Shenghuai is irrelevant, and the topic quickly turned back to Zi Pingxiu's ultimatum. Some people suppressed their anger and even suggested sending someone directly to Song Jing to kill Zi Pingxiu. But this is out of anger, the prime minister of a country can kill whoever wants to, there are expert guards around him, not to mention whether he can easily succeed, if he really wants to do this, then it will not be Zi Pingxiu himself Attacking the Ten Thousand Beasts...
First, 600,000 captives were buried alive, and then the city was massacred. The brutality of the Yan army was heinous, but the Song Dynasty court was unstoppable. With the expansion of the scope of the Yan army's advance, it has caused great panic to the people of Song State.
In the direction of the Yan army's advance, people from all over the city helped the old and the young, wiped their tears and fled from their homes. After all, only a few dared to resist.
Gradually, as more and more refugees fled, the scope of the refugees became wider and wider, and finally brought a huge impact on the national order of the Song State, disrupting the supply balance of the Song State, and the loss and destructive power was huge. of.
Just because a large number of people gave up a large area of cultivation, the supply and demand of Song's internal production faced a fault, and the supply and demand of the entire Song State would be tightened later.
People all over the country are in panic, seeing no victory, it is hard to comfort...
In the tent of the Chinese army, Jin Jue stood in front of the map and said slowly: "The internal order of the Song Dynasty is out of balance, and the national power is rapidly depleted. This is what Meng Shanming hopes to see!"
The general who accompanied him on the left said: "Song Guo repeatedly urged the court to let us send troops to Yan Guo as soon as possible."
The general on the right pointed to the map, "Da Sima is right, Meng Shanming just wants to bring disaster to the east and let us Korea attack Song State."
The general on the left said: "I know this, but Meng Shanming will not let us take advantage of it easily, as long as the Song Kingdom is almost defeated, the two countries will form an alliance against us next, and we will get nothing at that time. So I still think that we should take advantage of the emptiness inside Yan to invade!"
Jin Jue folded his arms on his chest, stared at the map and shook his head: "How can you say that you can't get anything? Song Yan fought like this, and the national power was greatly consumed, and we South Korea took advantage of it. The consumption is not enough now. With strength, Meng Shanming's careful thinking...Let Meng Shanming continue to toss the Song Kingdom, and the Song Kingdom is almost exhausted. Even if we don't send troops, the two countries will not be able to provoke our country for a long time , but to be obedient to our country, what is this not cheap? Don’t worry, be careful, it’s better to be more careful.”
The general on the left said: "My lord, it is not a problem for you to bear the pressure from the imperial court all the time!"
Jin Jue raised his chin towards Zhao Guo, "Zhao Guo is too quiet, I will not rush to send troops before I confirm that Zhao Guo will not attack, once there is any stalemate in attacking Yan, Zhao Guo suddenly took advantage of my South Korea What should I do if the internal emptiness launches an attack?"
The general on the left couldn't help laughing and said: "If Zhao Guo is really restrained by Qi Wei and has not taken action, we just wait like this, wouldn't we miss a good opportunity?"
Jin Jue: "It was I who fooled those idiots of the Song State to join forces to attack Yan! I might as well say it clearly, no matter how attractive the fat in front of me is, as long as there is a threat around me, I will not send troops. Only Zhao Guo will attack Yan , I will take action, I will not take any risks with South Korea's national fortune, and I will not let the soldiers die in vain. When fighting, be safe, it is better to be safe."
The general on the right said: "Are you really going to sit and watch Song Yan finish the peace talks?"
Jin Jue: "Wait a little longer, let the imperial court talk to Zhao Guo when the fire is almost ready, Zhao Guo sends troops to attack Yan, and we send troops to attack Song Dynasty, only when Zhao Guo is dragged in and there is no worries is the time for us to act Don’t have too much appetite, it’s okay to give some to others, we just need to eat what we have, the key is to be able to eat it in our stomachs. If Zhao Guo refuses to send troops, then we will not move. You can only stare blankly, don't try to take advantage of it. In short, be safe, it's better to be safe! Don't be like Luo Zhao, who ran a long distance to attack Yanjing, tsk tsk, I don't know what you think?"
