Chapter 1447 The choice of the object of the meeting
Gongsun Jie is the same generation as Long Kun and Jiang Ting. Except for the Xuanyuan family, all the other nine Dukes in the Shaodian Kingdom are relatives. Ding Kui must at least call Gongsun Jie "Shibo". The etiquette stipulates that
Indispensable.
"I forgot to tell you that yesterday the Supervisor appointed me as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Command. I am ahead of you in terms of position. You have to pay me a courtesy first." Ding Kui did not follow the other party's routine.
"You crazy rebel, who will recognize your family's supervisor? It's not your turn to be the commander-in-chief of the military department!" Gongsun Jie sneered.
"Then there's no need to talk about it. You ignored the royal family's orthodoxy, violated the family's ancestral precepts, and intervened in the struggle for the throne of King Shaodian. The Gongsun family is about to go against the will of heaven. Let's fight each other." Ding Kui patted his butt and stood up.
"Hahaha, boy, can messing around solve the problem? I don't believe that the Jiang family will follow you and quarrel with my family. If you want to fight, the Gongsun family will fight; if you want to talk, the Gongsun family will also tolerate others."
Gongsunjie had met many arrogant young people, and Ding Kui was the most arrogant one. He couldn't continue the conversation as soon as the conversation started. This did not suit his purpose, so he suppressed his anger and wanted to continue the conversation.
"I am the brother-in-law of the current king. I will resolutely safeguard the royal rule and will never grant or accept the territory privately. No noble can occupy the territory privately. If you don't give up Guanhua County, there will be no negotiation. You can come to me after you think about it.
.”
Ding Kui really left, leaving Gongsun Jie alone.
Gongsun Jie was slightly stunned, looking at Ding Kui's back with mixed feelings in his heart. The boy who had originally ignored him actually refused to accept his kindness.
When the Ding family of the Protector of the Kingdom was at its strongest, he had to give some face to the Gongsun family, otherwise the Ding family would be very uncomfortable. However, he forgot that the present time was different from the past, and the Ding family had also undergone great changes.
First of all, there are very few people in the Ding family. The only people known to everyone are Ding Qi, Ding Kui, Jingjing and Yuanyuan. There is no one who is easy to deal with. The Gongsun family has no target that can be threatened. In the past, the Ding family had many people in the army, and the Military Law Department could
Random censorship, frame-up and frame-up, etc. There are many means available.
Secondly, due to the civil war, the original military was divided into several parts. Those loyal to Shaodian Shi, those loyal to Shaodianyong, those loyal to Shaodianluan, and those under local control. The Military Law Department could only influence a small number of officers and soldiers.
People like Ding Kui who have subordinates who have nothing to do with the Ministry of Military Justice will be killed if you dare to send them over. There is no threat at all.
Furthermore, Ding Kui's son can be ranked in the queue to inherit the throne. If he goes against him, he will be passively involved in the struggle for the throne. This is the biggest headache for the big family.
"Gongsunjie is your uncle, so I need to give you some face." Jiang Li, the person who bridged the gap, didn't want to see such a deadlock.
"I gave him face, but he didn't give me face!" Ding Kui cried out for himself, "They can also get involved in Guanhua County? Then should I give the Jiang family and the Long family a county each? The Kong family and the Xun family will protect each other.
What should I do if my family asks me for it? More importantly, what will the state pastors think?"
"Well, that makes sense! I don't have such an idea, and it's hard to say for the others. No one will be convinced that the Gongsun family wants a county without doing anything, so let's teach them a lesson." Jiang Li said the same thing.
I can't stand the style of the Gongsun family.
Now there are not many places where the Jiang family needs to be afraid of the Gongsun family. It is more important to protect Ding Kui's interests. If Yuanyuan ascends the throne in the future, the Jiang family will be the largest family in Shaodian Kingdom. The prerequisite is to defeat the rebel king Shaodian Yong.
"That's fine. Gongsun Jie left in a hurry. The news should have reached that person's ears. You stay for a few more days and I will arrange for the generals of the Anguo Army to meet with you." Jiang Li had another plan.
Zhongwangzhou is in a truce period. The Anguo Army and various soldiers and horses are resting in their respective base camps. It is not far from the city of Zhou and can be reached by a quick horse in two days at most.
Before the generals of the Anguo Army arrived, Shaodianjian sent someone to invite Ding Kui.
Yizhou Zhimu wanted to meet Ding Kui, and he had no intention of hiding it, and had already released enough goodwill.
Now Ding Kui is on an equal footing with Zhou Mu. He has transformed from a powerful man to a prince, and has become the top power in the Shaodian Kingdom.
It turned out that he had hundreds of thousands of regular troops to help him and no logistical supply base. How long he could hold on was a question. Going to his own country to grab food extended this time, but it also offended a powerful enemy.
The most unexpected change in his country's attitude was that the southern part of Nanzhao Prefecture was transformed from a dangerous place to a rock-solid one. Ding Kui could safely deploy his troops to attack the city of Nanjing. Hundreds of thousands of troops were able to capture a non-threatening granary before defeating him.
His disadvantage turned into an advantage.
Shaodianjian received Ding Kui in the living room of the county prince's palace. After greeting him, he said, "This time I invite my consort. I have an unkind invitation. I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Your Majesty, please tell me. Kui will try his best to satisfy you." Ding Kui assumed the posture of a junior. According to seniority, Shao Dianjian is certainly older than Shao Dianluan. Zhongwangzhoumu is also very interesting to the Ding family, so he must give him this face.
"Prince Nanmo, uh, Shaodianxi and I are both members of the royal family. Although he did something wrong, but his identity is there, you still have to be more cautious when dealing with his problems. I want to represent him
He is begging for mercy, hoping that you can at least treat his family well." Shao Dianjian interceded for Shao Dianxi.
A county prince withdrew as soon as he said he wanted to. The other princes would inevitably die in grief. Shao Dianjian and Shao Dianxi may not have a deep friendship. The royal branches behind them may not be in the same spirit, but they are not willing to deal with the county by the small court.
Wang is too hasty.
"Shao Dianxi violated the regulations and expanded his troops. He recruited more than 400,000 local troops, levied excessive amounts of money, wasted people and money, and this alone can kill him. As a relative of the royal family, Kui has already faced him. As long as he lives, he and his family will
If they have a chance to atone their sins, I will ensure their safety." Ding Kui couldn't say too much.
"Well, living is very important! I heard that his family was exiled to Hengfu City, where miasma and mosquitoes are very harmful. Can I send a medical officer to help them recuperate?" Shaodianjian has already got the answer he wants.
.
The key is that Ding Kui considers the problem as a relative, which is what Shaodianjian and others are more happy to see. The way to deal with the problem must be within the framework of the clan government, and most members of the royal family can accept it.
"Of course there is no problem. Your Highness is kind-hearted." Ding Kui suddenly changed the topic, "The Clan Palace is constrained by Shaodian, and it will be biased in handling matters involving the Supervisory State. Therefore, the Supervisory State hopes to restructure the Clan Palace. Please
A respected clan elder came forward to seek justice."
"Ahem." Shaodianjian picked up the tea cup.
The servants and guards in the living room immediately left, leaving only an old housekeeper to accompany them.
"The late king left too suddenly, and the prince he left behind was too young. Prince Dezheng Shaodian Huang was supposed to be the regent, but our ancestors chose Prince Wuwei Shaodian instead, which caused the family's conventions to be broken again and again. This
This has led to the current chaos, and most ethnic elders hold this view.
Who is the orthodox Prince Feng or Prince Cong? I don’t know much about it, so I can’t comment. The eldest princess can communicate with the clan elders. As for changing the Taiwei, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can be given to the clan elders.
The disadvantage of this opportunity to bring order out of chaos is offending Prince Dezheng's lineage."
Ding Kui pricked up his ears and listened quietly.
"The problem is that Prince Yinsha split the royal family and used the selection of state shepherds to trigger infighting within the clan. This move is indeed clever, but in the end it depends on his success or failure. Only the one who secures the throne can keep everything," Shaodianjian said.
Wan smiled slightly, his eyes intriguing.
Ding Kui was silent for a while and asked: "Does your Highness have anyone to recommend?"
"Haha, as soon as there is news about this matter, people will come to your door. You can decide on your own who is more suitable. I have been in Zhongwangzhou for a long time, and I don't know many people well."
What an old cunning guy, who is extremely skilled in Tai Chi. He made a bet on me and wanted to avoid offending both sides. He would rather hold on to one-third of an acre of land in Zhongwangzhou than covet more power. It was different from what I originally expected.
.
Ding Kui originally wanted to use the power of the New Senate to bribe Shao Dianjian. Compared with other powerful members of the royal family, he was most familiar with Zhongwang Zhou Mu. After all, he was from his hometown and had more points of identity.
"I have to ask Your Highness to help me spread the word. Nanzhaozhou is willing to do business with all friends." He had no choice but to take a step back and let Zhongwangzhou remain neutral.
"No problem at all!" Shao Dianjian readily accepted.
"You are under a lot of pressure to resist the rebels. The imperial court will try its best to help Zhongwangzhou. I plan to build a railway connecting Nanjing City and Zhenjing City. As for the issues of financing and operation, I would like to hear your opinions." Ding Kui said in an economic diplomacy
Card.
"I don't know much about this but I'm very interested in it. You can formulate a plan and I'll have someone study it." Shaodian never refuses new things and doesn't agree easily.
He knew that both Weiguo County and Anguo County were building railways, which would be of great help to people's livelihood, but he had to be careful when doing business with Ding Kui. It didn't matter if he suffered a small loss, but he couldn't suffer a big loss.
Next, both of them worked hard to make the guest and host happy. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and naturally everyone was happy. In the end, Shao Dianjian personally escorted Ding Kui out of the house.
Jiang Li had nothing to do and stayed at home waiting for news from Ding Kui.
"Shao Dianjian, don't you want to do more?" He saw that his nephew was not in high spirits when he came back.
"He is very cautious. He must be used to being a middleman. He does not offend both parties and likes to live a stable life." This is Ding Kui's evaluation of Shao Dianjian.
"What kind of place is Zhongwangzhou? As a state shepherd here, you often need to mediate conflicts between nobles. It's normal to be diplomatic. Who doesn't want to live a stable life?" Jiang Li was not surprised.
"If he doesn't want to, let it go. I'll talk to others, but I don't believe that no one is interested!" Ding Kui did not give up his plan to bribe the state pastor. The benefits of persuading a state to surrender are endless, and he is willing to try anything.
"Well, you want to find Shaodian Run?"
Shaodian Run is the pastor of Yangyuanzhou, and the place he manages is right next door to Nanzhaozhou.
"Yes."
Jiang Li drew circles on his palm with one finger, and after a while, he said: "You can go to Shuanglong City first."
