As a foreign ambassador, Mochizuki Dagong came to negotiate peace with the emperor's orders. However, the peace negotiation was only superficial, but he had a lofty ambition hidden in his heart.
To realize this ambition, the first step is to win over the reactionary forces in the Tang Dynasty to overthrow the Tang Dynasty regime.
As the main messenger behind the scenes, Mochizuki Dae Gong will make contributions in this turmoil and gather the army to enhance his prestige in Goguryeo.
After the Tang Dynasty returned to Goguryeo, Wang Yue Dagong was able to rely on his contribution in "recovering the Tang Dynasty" to coerce the king of Goguryeo, imitating Cao Cao's method of "coercing the emperor to order the princes" and gradually ascending to power.
Shangguan Jin is an important chess piece of Wang Yue Dagong, who is bribed by promising high-ranking officials and important positions as well as gold, silver and jewelry.
In fact, it is not an easy task to bribe Shangguan Jin. After all, the Tang Dynasty is much more powerful than the Goguryeo Kingdom. Even if he joins the Goguryeo Kingdom, there will be no benefit.
As for why Mochizuki Dagong can be successfully bribed?
This is because Wangyue Dagong had given Shangguan Jin a large amount of gold and silver in the early stage, and also promised to support Shangguan Jin to sit on the throne of prime minister through the power of Goguryeo.
Of course, if the affair between the two of them was exposed, Mochizuki Dagong even promised to take all the blame on himself and would not reveal that Shangguan Jin was a traitor.
For this reason, Shangguan Jincai was willing to rebel and submit to Goguryeo.
In fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that they are "submitting". It is more accurate to say that they are using each other. After all, Shangguan Jin is not a fool.
At this time, Shangguan Jin was able to gain a lot of benefits from the Goguryeo Kingdom and was naturally willing to cooperate. If one day he saw that the situation was not right, he would immediately rebel and give out all the information about the Goguryeo Kingdom, thereby making a contribution to the Tang Dynasty.
He will become a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and may even be awarded the title of "Hero of Lingyan Pavilion".
The two old foxes each have their own hidden agendas and plot against each other.
Now Shangguan Jinzheng has begun to settle accounts with Empress Wangyue Dagongqiu. After all, Shangguan Jin knew about the assassination of Muchuan, but he never expected that it would cause such a big fuss, even in front of the emperor!
But you must know that if this matter arouses suspicion, it will more or less implicate yourself. If anyone discovers the relationship between Shangguan Jin and Wangyue Dagong, their heads may fall.
Regarding this point, Wangyue Dagong said apologetically: "Sir Shangguan, this is beyond my expectation. I also did not expect that a prostitute would know the identity of my subordinate."
"This is because you have failed to supervise me well! If the matter is exposed, don't blame me for betraying you."
"Naturally... Fortunately, this matter has not been exposed. Please rest assured, Sir Shangguan."
Wangyue Dagong was an all-rounder. After he finished speaking, he waved and ordered a maid to bring a small nanmu box.
The box is exquisite, with patterns and patterns carved on the outer layer. It has a volume of about fifteen cubic decimeters.
After Wang Yue Dagong opened the small box, Shangguan Jin's eyes came into view with everything inside. It was a pile of jewelry and gold! It was so bright that it was so bright that it blinded the eyes!
When he saw this box, Shangguan Jin was naturally moved. After all, he was also a greedy person, but he did not put that greedy expression on his face, and instead acted a sanctimonious and noble look.
"Ambassador Mochizuki, what do you mean?"
"Regarding what happened today, it is true that the ambassador did not think carefully and caused trouble to Lord Shangguan... This is a small gift to compensate. I hope you don't mind."
"Well...since you said so, Ambassador, I won't mind."
Shangguan Jin accepted the gift calmly.
In fact, Shangguan Jin was very happy after receiving this small box of gold, silver and jewelry. After all, as Zhongshuling, he has a very high status, but it is not easy to commit corruption and bribery. For this reason, if he has the opportunity to collect money
He won't be polite at all.
Afterwards, over a cup of tea, Shangguan Jin and Wangyue Dagong warmed up the cold, and when they were done, he hurriedly left.
After Shangguan Jin left, there was a period of silence in the hall of the Ambassador's Villa, and Wangyue Dagong's warm smile slowly turned cold.
"Come out, Gao Qiwei."
There is a man behind the beams in the hall, it is Gao Feng!
Wangyue Dagong has been entertaining Shangguan Jin since he came back from the palace. Now that Shangguan Jin has left, Wangyue Dagong will start to settle accounts after the fall.
That's right, Muchuan came to visit this time because Gao Feng revealed his identity, which is a taboo! This naturally made Mochizuki Dagong angry!
Gao Feng walked out from behind the beam, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wangyue... I didn't expect that Muchuan is so smart that he can recognize my identity."
"It's not that Muchuan is smart. If you do what I say, how can you be found out!"
Wangyue Dagong asked coldly, "Has that Feng Chen woman ever seen your face?
Otherwise, how could she recognize you?"
"Sir..." Gao Feng seemed flustered at this time. After all, Mochizuki Dagong was staring at him with eyes as sharp as a blade.
Mochizuki Dagong has an insight into people's hearts and is resourceful. Gao Feng did not dare to speak in front of him, so he honestly told the reason, saying that it was an accident that Xiaorou saw his true face.
After hearing the whole story, Wangyue Dagong said coldly: "This is because you are not doing things well!"
"Lord Wangyue, please rest assured. Since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has not pursued the case, it must be fine... I just need to be careful in the future."
"So you think this is over?
Since you don’t do things well, do you know how to accept the punishment?”
"This... I understand, I know how to fight for thirty years, and my salary will be reduced for one year."
Hearing what Gao Feng said made Wangyue Dagong even more angry.
Thirty years of war and reduced salary?
Is this considered punishment?
Far from enough!
Although he was furious in his heart, a very gentle smile appeared on Mochizuki Dagong's face: "Gao Qiwei, if things like this are not handled well, do you know how to raise your head and come to see me?"
"Lord Mochizuki...does he want to kill me?"
Gao Feng's face changed, and then he raised his voice and said loudly, "Lord Mochizuki, this is not okay! Don't you know my identity?
How could you kill me!"
"How come I don't know your identity? However, military regulations are military regulations. No matter your status, you should act according to the law."
After finishing speaking, Wangyue Dagong shouted outside the hall, and nearly ten Goguryeo soldiers were called in at once.
Ten soldiers surrounded Gaofeng, like a trapped beast fighting.
Gao Feng was not afraid of this, and instead showed a domineering look.
