Chapter six hundred and fiftieth eight lions open mouth
It's just that this kit is related to Li Xingchen's life experience, so they were cautious when asking about it. In the end, as expected, they didn't get much. In the end, they just thought that this kit should be just a decoration, and left it alone. .
They didn't expect that this tip would end up with the family, but Hongnong Yang...for a moment, neither of them knew how to express their feelings about the fate of the people.
Of course they would not be so naive as to think that the Hongnong Yang family eagerly cooperated with Li Xinchen because Li Xinchen was a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family - Li Xinchen did not grow up in the family, and even this kit was just a token of identity. However, there is no guarantee that this token originally belonged to Li Xingchen.
The Hongnong Yang family obviously also has their own interests, which coincide with Li Xinchen's ideas. This cooperation is still based on the strong power in the hands of both the Hongnong Yang family and Li Xinchen.
However, this actually reassures Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie. This dual connection of blood and interests is obviously enough to ensure the stability of this cooperation and even future alliances. Yang Su, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, personally Coming is enough to show your sincerity.
At least for the current Li Xingchen group, this kind of alliance still has great benefits. Therefore, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie said nothing more after understanding the reason.
Li Xinchen's life experience has become increasingly complicated, and it will not do much good for Li Xinchen if these rumors leak out at least now, so it is reasonable for Li Xinchen to be so cautious. And now that Li Xinchen has told everything, it shows that he has no intention of deceiving Xiao Shilian or Pei Zilie. .
"This matter will probably have to go back and forth several times," Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "but it is conceivable that the court has already given Xu Shanxin a bottom line, so the bargaining should not take long. You don't have to rush back now, wait until the results come out We still need to finalize the specific troop strength and accompanying personnel as soon as possible."
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie both nodded. They had already expected this situation when they came, so they had arranged all the affairs in advance. They didn't care about staying for one or two days. Moreover, if they were in a hurry to go back at this time, they would have to go back in a few days. If we rush back tomorrow, we will have wasted far more time on the road than if we just stopped here and waited.
After taking a breath, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "We have to deal with Xu Shanxin next."
————————————-
Compared with the last time he saw Li Xingchen, Xu Shanxin did not feel that he was much more relaxed, and was even more nervous. His palms were covered with sweat.
Because last time Xu Shanxin just had the attitude of giving it a try, but now he is discussing with Li Xingchen as a court envoy about Li Xingchen leading his troops into Jiankang Mansion. This is definitely not as simple as announcing a decree - even if it was not long ago Xu Shanxin felt that announcing the decree was not an easy task.
If there is any careless operation, Xu Shanxin will be the sinner who led the wolf into the house. Xu Shanxin does not want to bear this crime. After all, who knows whether Li Xingchen will be another Hou Jing who stirred up Jiangnan.
Xu Shanxin already knew the bottom line of the imperial court through the letter sent by the imperial court recently, and this bottom line was within his expectation. Chen Xu and Xu Ling discussed and finally decided to allow Li Xingchen to bring a maximum of one thousand soldiers and horses, and this thousand soldiers The horses could not travel by land and could only enter the city once. During the rest of the time Li Xingchen was in the capital, these soldiers and horses had to be stationed outside the city.
This condition can be said to be simple or complicated. If we discuss it bit by bit, it can take a long time. What's more important is that Xu Shanxin, as a young civil servant, has no idea whether he has the ability to discover Li Xingchen's proposal.
loopholes in the conditions.
At this time, Li Xinchen was sitting in the meeting hall, with a huge map behind him. There was actually only one person on Li Xinchen's side, and that was King Gu Ye, who had been responsible for receiving the imperial envoys.
Uncle Ang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Xu Shanxin up and down, not knowing what he was thinking. But Xu Shanxin did not dare to let down his guard. He knew that the court, especially His Majesty, would not be willing to let someone like Li Xingchen enter and leave Jiankang Mansion so rampantly, so
Inevitably, they would fiddle with some small details, such as not arranging corresponding honors for Li Xingchen.
These things may seem inconsequential, but people who know how to do it will naturally laugh secretly when they see it. Li Xingchen obviously took into account the details of these possible occurrences, so he did not ask Xiao Shilian or Pei Zilie to accompany him, but asked Gu Yewang
Come.
When it comes to these etiquette arrangements, I am afraid no one knows more about them than Guanglu Qing, who is responsible for etiquette in the imperial court, and King Gu Ye was the Guanglu Qing of the imperial court before this.
Xu Shanxin coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has agreed to General Zhenxi's request. Your Majesty also has an idea of how many troops General Zhenxi intends to lead to Jiankang Mansion, and the imperial court has also prepared supplies for the reward.
Etiquette and other matters.”
As he spoke, Xu Shanxin smiled helplessly in his heart. There were records of military parades in the capital in all dynasties, but usually the court directly ordered how many soldiers and horses to come. This was the first time I heard about this. I asked the local authorities first.
How many troops and horses are needed?
Therefore, this is not the relationship that the court and its subordinates should have at all. Of course, Xu Shanxin did not expect Li Xingchen to safely regard himself as Nanchen's minister.
Li Xingchen considered it for a moment and stretched out two fingers.
Xu Shanxin was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically asked: "Two hundred people?"
I didn't expect Li Xingchen to be so understanding. Could it be that he really regarded himself as Nan Chen's loyal minister? Xu Shanxin thought as she reached out to pick up the tea cup.
"No, two thousand people." Li Xingchen interrupted Xu Shanxin directly, looked at Xu Shanxin with some suspicion, and then looked at his fingers, as if asking Xu Shanxin if he was stupid.
Upon hearing this, the tea in Xu Shanxin's mouth spurted out.
This Li Xingchen clearly dared to tell the story of two thousand soldiers and horses in the lion's mouth! He dared to report the number, why didn't he just go with 20,000 soldiers and horses? He might as well just change the dynasty. You must know that Nanchen is now under construction
There are actually only five or six thousand Imperial Guards outside Kangfu City, and most of them are new soldiers. If Li Xingchen takes two thousand veterans who have been tempered by the flames of war to go to Jiankang Mansion, I am afraid it will really be difficult to live in peace.
As if he didn't realize this, Li Xingchen looked at Xu Shanxin with a sincere face: "Xu Jun, please drink water slowly, it will be bad if you choke."
Gu Yewang's shoulders twitched slightly, and he was obviously trying hard to hold back laughter. The expression Li Xingchen made at this time could really be said to be "harmless to humans and animals."
After coughing twice, Xu Shanxin breathed out: "I'm sorry."
