When Wang Chengen heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he immediately understood: "I understand, I know what to do. Don't worry. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the people under you and save money at the same time."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "I always trust you when doing things. But you have to remember that when you go out later, you can only call me General Zheng. If you call me by mistake, I may take your head."
"I understand, I don't dare to make any mistakes."
"As long as you understand, you can go first. If I am not outside, they will be able to speak freely. Then it will depend on how you perform." Emperor Chongzhen picked up a book on the art of war and flipped through it, signaling Wang Chengen to go out and follow the others first.
Go "negotiate terms" and don't worry about him for the time being.
Wang Chengen naturally obeyed the order and resigned, but what he didn't know was that as soon as he exited, the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face slowly disappeared and was replaced by endless sarcasm.
"If he is really a mediocre villain, how could he have bribed you in just a few years, always trying to speak for him." Even Wang Chengen, who has watched him grow up, is like this.
Not to mention other ministers who were already dissatisfied with him, it seemed that Lin Chong had more broken hands than he thought.
It's because of this that I can't let you go so easily. If I want to blame you, I can only blame you for your own methods, which exposed your sharp edge. There is no emotion on Emperor Chongzhen's face hidden under the mask.
When he roughly flipped through a few pages of a military book and went out, Wang Chengen was already mingling harmoniously with a group of men.
Although he is a eunuch, he has a rare sense of martial arts knight-errant, and his movements will inevitably make people admire him several times. Especially when he defeated several masters present in a few simple rounds.
It also won a lot of praise.
Looking at this posture, if they continue chatting, they will soon reach the stage of calling themselves brothers. In order to prevent Wang Chengen from selling out all his stupid brothers who have no brains, Zheng Chenggong stepped out at the right time.
"What are you talking about? You said it so happily." It was rare that his tone also seemed gentle. Every time he was so gentle, everyone would think that Brother Zheng is still the same Brother Zheng, but he has more things to consider now, so
It is inevitable that I will become more serious, and I will no longer be able to fool around with them like before.
"Boss, don't say anything. This emperor is really interesting. Look at how many things he has brought out." As the man said this, he walked up to Zheng Chenggong with a few pieces of paper and handed them to him to look at carefully.
Zheng Chenggong took a quick glance and found that Wang Chengen was indeed worthy of his title as the chief eunuch. At first glance, these things were very impressive, such as fiefdoms and titles, military and political power, silk silks, and beauties.
But the actual situation now is that every place is occupied by feudal princes or peasant rebels. What's the use of saying that this land is yours.
Imperial decree? Who cares about the imperial decree these days? If you want the land, fine, go ahead and fight for it yourself. You can’t just snatch the kingdom back for him with a few people like you, right? Zheng Chenggong glanced at Wang Chengen, who looked understanding.
Besides, this military and political power, this person was originally yours, but now it belongs to someone else, and it is only temporarily under your control. No matter how you think about it, it is your loss, right? Using your troops to fill other people's troops is also a loss for these fools.
Can it be successful like this.
Although his identity is the king of a country, so it does save him money, but his current identity is still Zheng Chenggong after all, and he cannot completely let Wang Chengen deceive his silly brothers like this.
"Manager Wang, these promises of yours are good, but...these promises alone seem a bit too general. Why don't we make something practical?"
"Then according to General Zheng, how should this be changed?"
Zheng Chenggong pointed to a certain place on the terms: "Here, at least it needs to be doubled, right?" The place he pointed to was a thousand taels of gold. If it were doubled, it would be two thousand taels.
It's not that the one thousand taels is so big, but the main reason is that there are so many people here. If everyone doubles it up like this, it will be a huge expense.
Wang Chengen's face changed: "This request is really too much. Besides, I can't make the decision on such a large amount by myself. Even if I double it for you now, if people don't recognize it when I go back, then that's not the case."
Is it for nothing?"
The other people looked at Zheng Chenggong and said in an understatement that he would double the amount that they thought was already an astronomical figure. They all showed their astonishment. As expected of their boss, he has a wide range of knowledge. This figure
It's nothing to others.
They don't know what their so-called boss used to do. Now this astronomical figure is really nothing to him. A batch of royal pens have even more figures than this.
Wang Chengen looked very embarrassed. The two of them bargained back and forth for a long time, and finally chose a number that seemed to be a compromise. Each person added 500 taels for a total of 1,500 taels.
In addition, corresponding changes were also made to some satin jewelry and jade horses. Zheng Chenggong undoubtedly tried his best to get more benefits for them. Now his image in the hearts of everyone became more beautiful than before.
He is taller and more convincing.
The only one who didn't show a truly happy expression was probably Cao Meng. This guy's life has become difficult since Shi Lang left. It's not that others are ostracizing him, but he himself can clearly feel that since this incident
After the incident, no one wanted to get too close to him.
Although he usually shows a kind and approachable face, but according to everyone's observation, it seems that people who are close to him will always be unlucky in the end. Even if no one has done it intentionally, he
Thinking about it, but out of consciousness, everyone seemed to keep a distance from him.
In addition to this, the most important thing is of course that Zheng Chenggong has become more critical of him than before, and often blames him for not talking about small things. What is even more frightening is that he often finds Zheng Chenggong staring at him with a sinister look.
Him, he always had the illusion that he would be torn into pieces the next moment.
It is precisely because of his intuition and sense of crisis that he is more certain than others that this person is definitely not Zheng Chenggong! The arrival of the envoy this time may explain certain issues. Why did he have to come to Nanjing, and why
Do you want to negotiate alone with the envoys sent by the imperial court?
