Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

For the important officials of the imperial court, the rough bottom line of the negotiations with the Xianbei Royal Court was determined.

The next step is to discuss who will be responsible for this matter.

The war is raging there now, who wants to go there?

What if we can't reach an agreement and where is my fate?

The ministers of the imperial court looked at the sky and the earth, you looked at me, I looked at you, but they did not look at the emperor.

Even if their eyes met their mortal enemies occasionally, everyone would move away silently and did not say anything to hurt the other party. Otherwise, if they cheated the other party, the other party would definitely bring their own.For specific examples, please refer to how Nanyang disaster relief fell on the chief official Zhang Xian and his deputy Zuo Anmin.

At first, someone recommended Lu Desheng, but Song Mo rejected it. He now did not trust Lu Desheng.The negotiation was a big deal, so he had to hand it over to someone he trusted before he would feel at ease.

In the end, the ministers recommended Prince Gong, and Song Mo agreed.

That's how things were decided.

After going to court, Song Mo received a secret letter, which revealed the secret of Pingzhou's tax and grain being robbed.

After Song Mo finished reading, he threw down another set of his favorite tea cups.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors who commit fraud and deceive the emperor should be killed!"

Such thunderous fury made Liang An, the great eunuch guarding the palace gate, flinch.

Afterwards, Song Mo first summoned Prince Gong.

The monarch and his ministers talked secretly for half an hour.

It is said that when Prince Gong left the palace, his face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Song Mo later summoned Lin Ran and gave him a secret order.

After coming out of the palace, Lin Ran felt as if the sunset sky was stained with blood.How come he always receives such tasks when he is in charge of Jinwu?

Finally, an imperial edict appointing Lu Desheng to be in charge of the negotiations was sent from the palace and sent to the Pingzhou Governor's Office at an accelerated speed of [-] miles.

When the ministers learned that the emperor suddenly changed the person in charge of the negotiations, they all looked at each other in confusion and couldn't understand why. However, the result was acceptable, so none of the ministers objected.

After Zhang Xian learned about it, he asked to be his deputy in this negotiation and assist Lu Desheng.

Thinking that this time, he would join forces with Mr. Lu to fight against Xianbei, he felt excited.

However, Zhang Xianzhi's request was rejected by Song Mo, who named Zuo Anmin as his deputy.

Zhang Xian was puzzled. Zuo Anmin and Mr. Lu obviously didn't get along. Dali and the Xianbei royal court were negotiating such a big matter. If the two of them cooperated, could the negotiation be successful?

After Zuo Anmin accepted the order, he proudly said to Zhang Xian, "Master Zhang, don't worry, I will assist Master Lu well this time."

"You'd better be!" Zhang Xian replied, then rolled up his sleeves and left.

Nanchi

For Xie Zhan, everything is developing as expected.

He could actually fight for the opportunity to negotiate with Xianbei.

After seizing this opportunity, and forcing the Qin and Lu families to rebel, he could fight for power in the name of suppressing the rebellion, coerce the emperor to command the princes, and then control the government.

One disadvantage of this road is that Song Mo is too old and is not as easy to control as a child.But he can wait two years...

But this also means that he has to give up Nandi, which he has been running for two years, at least he will not be able to control Nandi openly.

But Nan Di occupies a favorable location and he is reluctant to part with it.

The other way is that after Qin Lu raised the flag of rebellion, they also responded.

Moreover, he and Jiang Boya had deduced that if Pingzhou rebelled, they would follow, and King Cheng in the southwest would also follow.

At that time, the world will enter a situation where heroes compete for hegemony.

These are two different paths.After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to choose the latter path.As a result, many previous plans will have to be adjusted accordingly.

However, since he has made such a choice, he will naturally not join in the excitement of negotiations. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not build dangerous walls.

But he will always pay attention to the direction of this negotiation in the next period of time.

Pingzhou, governor's office

Jinwu Lin Ran came to deliver the order. After Lu Desheng received the order, Lin Ran told him that he would stay in Pingzhou until the negotiation was over.

Lu Desheng was ready to have someone arrange accommodation for him, but he refused.Lin Ran came out of the Governor's Mansion and went straight to the inn to rest.

Under the arrangement of Lu Songli, the father and daughter of the Lu family, the four brothers of the Qin family, and Xue Xu, gathered together.

Although everyone was a little surprised to see each other, they all thought they were here to discuss negotiations with the Xianbei Royal Court.

It was true at first.

Lu Desheng became the person in charge of this negotiation, and he felt quite proud. Late Emperor, this court really cannot do without me.

But wait until he sees the court's bottom line - to use Tuobalian to make the Xianbei army withdraw from Dali unconditionally and sign a ten-year peace treaty. During the ten years, Tuobalian must be held as hostage in Chang'an.

Lu Desheng couldn't help but frown. Does the court's request seem like a serious negotiation?

Can the Xianbei royal court agree to this request?What did the court think?It would be too overestimating the role of Tuobalian!

Negotiations are difficult.

When Lu Desheng was thinking about how to negotiate to meet the court's requirements and gain some benefits for his family, Lu Songli spoke.

"Dad, Song Mo may not be able to tolerate you this time." She pointed out this calmly. What she didn't say was that this result was entirely caused by her behind the scenes.

Hearing this, Lu Desheng's eyes widened: What the hell?What do you mean you can't tolerate him?

Others were also startled by her words, it was too sudden.

Moreover, Pingzhou has made great achievements recently. Why can’t the emperor tolerate Master Lu?

Lu Songli said, "Dad, Song Mo knows about the salt lake in our Dragon City, as well as the inside story about the tax and grain being robbed."

Xue Xu watched with his eyes, nose and heart. Mrs. Qin Liu did not hide these two things from him, and he helped clean up some of the tails.

These two things were indeed a bit rebellious for the emperor.

Qin Heng and the other brothers didn't say anything. After realizing that Song Mo had been harsh on the Qin family and oppressing the Qin family, they turned a blind eye to whatever the six siblings did, and sometimes even added to the trouble silently. A handful.

As soon as Lu Desheng heard these two things, he understood that Song Mo was not big-hearted.Song Mo didn't like him originally. He didn't report what he knew about Longcheng Salt Lake, and he ignored the tax and grain deception. So Song Mo might not be able to tolerate him anymore.

"No, what kind of brain does he have?" Lu Desheng muttered.

In the matter of taxation and grain, even if they know that they are cheating, will the benefits be obtained by the common people?Why is Song Mo Nu so angry? Does he have to be happy if all the food is burned or robbed by Xianbei?

Wait, since Song Mo can't tolerate him anymore, why did he order him to be responsible for this negotiation?Lu Desheng came to his senses. He looked at the court's request again, feeling that there was a hint of conspiracy.

"Daughter, is Song Mo cheating on me?"
