(Many thanks to ‘Lonely Heroes’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)
"Okay, Ambassador Yuan, Yun Gaesumun, there are just three of us, there is no fourth person. If you have any inconvenience for others to hear, you can tell me now." Wang Junlin smiled.
said.
Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gaisuwen looked at each other, and the former said: "Qin An is really quick to talk. My son Yuan Gaisuwen's killing of the Turkic prince before was not to blame Qin Angong, but between him and the Turkic prince.
It's just a personal grudge, please forgive me for the misunderstanding caused by this."
Wang Junlin sneered noncommittally and said: "I have always been pragmatic in my work and only pay attention to reality. Let's not talk about these lies and just talk about the deal!"
Hearing this, Yuan Taizuo looked solemn and said, "In that case, I have something that I would like to discuss with Duke An of Qin."
Wang Junlin smiled and said, "Please tell me."
"What should Qin An Gong do before we can let our father and son go?" Yuan Taizuo said nervously.
Wang Junlin pointedly said: "Why don't you, Ambassador Yuan, tell me your sincerity first?"
Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath and said: "I am the ambassador of Goguryeo. I have nothing to do with the poisoning of the Turkic prince a few days ago. My subordinates have already reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and His Majesty also agreed to report this matter.
After a thorough investigation, I will let me go. Today I just want to discuss with Qin An Gong the conditions for letting my son Gaisu Wen leave."
Wang Junlin snorted coldly and said: "What Ambassador Yuan said is correct, but I cannot guarantee that Ambassador Fang Yuan will not suddenly die of some strange disease after he leaves the prison of my Blue Guard Mansion."
"You..." Yuan Gaisuwen glared at Wang Junlin, but Yuan Taizuo caught him and waved his hand to stop him.
Yuan Taizuo's eyes revealed his deep fear of Wang Junlin. Thinking of the prison food and water sent by the blue-clad guards in the past few days, deep fear emerged in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said: "Qin An
If you act so wantonly, aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty the Sui Emperor about this matter?"
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Ambassador Yuan, you can give it a try. Naturally, I will not admit it and say that this is Ambassador Yuan's backbiting. Let's see if the palace doctors can find anything on Ambassador Yuan."
Yuan Taizuo's expression changed. After a while, he said in a hateful voice: "Qin Angong, there is no need to talk nonsense, just tell us how to let our father and son leave the Sui Dynasty intact."
Yuan Taizuo gritted his teeth when he said the words "intact", but it can also be seen that he was deeply afraid and helpless towards Wang Junlin.
Of course, Wang Junlin would not despise the father and son in front of him because of this. He knew that the reason why the other party was led by his nose was purely because the other party fell into his hands and he had complete initiative.
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed as he stared at Yeon Gaesumun and Yeon Taejo and said, "I want your Baengnyeong Island in Korea to be my personal private territory."
Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gaisuwen were stunned. They originally thought that Wang Junlin would ask them for a huge amount of gold and silver, countless Korean beauties, and expensive specialties such as Korean ginseng. They did not expect that Wang Junlin would ask them for an island.
Even Yeon Gae So-moon had never heard of Baengnyeong Island, but Yeon Tae-jo had heard of it, but it was only because this island was once the place where some Goguryeo nobles who committed crimes were exiled, so he only had this impression.
Although this small island was nothing compared to the lives of his father and son, and with their family's power in Goguryeo, they could fulfill Wang Junlin's request, but Yuan Taizuo did not agree immediately and pondered for a moment.
After that, he didn’t understand why Wang Junlin wanted this Bailing Island. If Wang Junlin claimed that this island belonged directly to the Sui Dynasty, Yuan Taizuo would think that this was the Sui Dynasty’s intention to conquer Goguryeo and to build a new island on this island.
Junzhai, but Wang Junlin made it very clear that it was his private territory. Obviously Wang Junlin did not want the Sui Emperor to know about this matter. Of course, Yuan Taizuo would not threaten Wang Junlin with this matter. Who knows how he would behave?
With this kind of intention, would Wang Junlin leave anything on himself?
Thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind. Although Yuan Taizuo knew that Wang Junlin's desire for this Bailing Island was definitely not without purpose, no matter how smart he was, he could never imagine Wang Junlin's true purpose.
So, after thinking for a while, Yuan Taizuo said: "Okay, I promise you."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Okay, just now I was negotiating the deal with you two on my own behalf, and now I am negotiating the terms with you two on behalf of Sui Dynasty."
Yuan Taizuo's face suddenly turned ugly and he said, "Wang Junlin, are you teasing our father and son?"
Wang Junlin ignored the anger of the two men and said: "Ten thousand Korean ginseng, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and five thousand war horses are regarded as the ransom money of Yuan Gaisuwen. Ambassador Yuan, your son is extraordinary in martial arts and is definitely not a thing in the pond.
, I think these things are worth it. Of course, these things will not fall into my hands. They will all be presented to my Majesty, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and it will be decided by His Majesty."
Yuan Taizuo frowned tightly. Ten thousand Korean ginseng and one hundred thousand taels of silver could be obtained with their family's power, and this time it was to sow discord between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty that Yuan Gaisuwen took action.
Assassinating a Turkic prince is considered an official matter. After returning, you can use some means to spend it from the treasury, but five thousand war horses is not a small number. Goguryeo also lacks war horses, but as the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, Yuan Taizuo
He knew that he had no room for rejection unless he wanted to see his most cherished son die.
"Qin An Gong, please promise that after I agree to this condition, I will not propose other conditions." Yuan Taizuo said with an indignant look.
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "I promise this is the last condition."
Yuan Taizuo said: "Okay, I promise you."
Wang Junlin said: "Very good, I will send someone to deliver the transaction document later. I hope that Yuan Taizuo and his son can sign and pledge it. Today I will go to the palace to plead with His Majesty to Ambassador Yuan and his son. I believe that Ambassador Yuan will be able to return home soon."
, As for your son, once Ambassador Yuan fulfills the two conditions just mentioned, I will send someone to send your son to Goguryeo."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
For Emperor Yang Guang, today seems to be a day that is no different from usual. Although the system of three provinces and six ministries has been implemented, due to Wang Junlin, Yang Guang implemented the cabinet seven or eight years earlier than in history.
He was responsible for handling government affairs for him, but Yang Guang is now an emperor who likes to be authoritarian, so the emperor's power is still very great. Most court affairs require the emperor's approval. Every day, the mountains of memorials from all over the country make Yang Guang a little breathless.
