Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Uncle, Mr. Dou, Madam invites you two to drink tea in the garden!

Pei Meng asked with a straight face: The weather is so hot, why do you want to drink tea in the garden? Is your empress trying to make things difficult for others?

Ah Qing said softly, Uncle, I misunderstood. There is running water in the garden, which is very cool. It is because of the hot weather that I invite the two of you to drink tea in the garden.

Mr. Dou hurriedly stood up, Uncle, why do you need to embarrass a court lady. The empress has an invitation, respect is worse than obedience. Let's lead the way.

This way please, both of you.

Ah Qing led the way and led the two of them to the back garden.

Small bridges and flowing water, Jiangnan characteristics.

The gurgling stream is really cool.

In the gazebo, tea and snacks have been prepared, just waiting for the guests to take their seats.

When will the empress come? Mr. Dou asked politely.

Ah Qing said softly: Wait for a moment, the empress will come over soon, please have some tea.

The palace people retreated, leaving the two waiting.

Holding the teacup, Pei Meng was very dissatisfied, What kind of tricks is Queen Gu playing?

Mr. Dou shook his head, Uncle, don't worry, this tea is quite delicious. The tea house that the empress bought in the south must be a high-quality tea house to produce such good tea.

Pei Meng was not in the mood to drink tea, he secretly counted the time.

The two waited for half an hour before Gu Jiu came late.

Pei Meng was furious in his heart, but he couldn't get angry, he could only have a gloomy face.

Gu Jiu apologized and said: Mr. Dou and Uncle have been waiting for a long time. There is something urgent in the palace, so I am late. Come here and change a pot of tea for Uncle and Mr. Dou. These palace people, how do you learn the rules? Yes, I don’t know how to serve at close quarters.”

Forget about the tea. After drinking a full stomach of tea, I really can't drink it. Mr. Dou smiled wryly, clutching his stomach, as if he had drunk too much.

Is it important, sir? Bengong ordered someone to take him down to rest and ask the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.

Thank you for your love. My minister can still hold on.

Aren't you forced? Gu Jiu asked worriedly.

Mr. Dou nodded heavily,

Not reluctantly.

Gu Jiu snorted, Mr., if you feel unwell, you must tell it. You are guests, and if an accident happens to you in the villa, I will bear the blame.

Pei Meng raised his eyebrows secretly, what do you mean by that?

The palace man changed a pot of tea and changed the desserts.

Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and gently blew on it.

She raised her head and asked with a smile, I wonder what you two think about it?

The imperial court is really willing to contribute money, food and weapons to help the Northwest Army conquer Xiliang? Pei Meng asked bluntly.

Gu Jiu nodded, I keep my word.

After the crowning of the king, what should I do? Once the materials are received, will the court...

After being crowned king, the Northwest Army would have to spend money to purchase any material, even a grain of rice, an inch of iron, or a piece of clothing from the imperial court. This palace made it clear that if you crack the soil and seal the king, in name your father and son are still big The courtiers of Zhou, the Northwest Army is the Northwest Army of the Great Zhou. In fact, you are separatist and self-governing, and you are the vassal state of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou will only support you verbally, and everything else depends on you.”

Gu Jiu emphasized the relationship between the two parties, and then looked at Pei Meng with a half-smile.

Pei Meng frowned tightly, showing dissatisfaction.

Mr. Dou hurriedly asked: If you need to spend money to buy a certain material, I don't know how much it will cost?

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows.

Xu Yousi hurried forward, took out a quotation and put it on the table, Mr. Dou, please have a look.

Mr. Dou secretly exchanged a look with Pei Meng, and even prepared the quotation, which was premeditated.

How can the price be so high?

Not to mention the price comparison with the capital, compared with the price in the Northwest, it is three times higher.

Transporting materials from Dazhou to Xiliang involves hardships and freight costs. Mr. Dou should be more aware than Bengong. Is this price really high? Compared with the caravan's price in Xiliang, it is simply a price of conscience. .To tell you the truth, this palace only offers such a discount for the sake of the Northwest Army opening up the territory for the Great Zhou.”

Pei Meng sneered inwardly, and asked: If one day, the Northwest Army no longer expands the territory for the Great Zhou, what will the empress plan to do?

Gu Jiu put away the quotation, When it comes to business, profit is the most important thing.

The implication is that what price it sold to Xiliang at the beginning will be the price it will be sold to the Northwest Army in the future.

Profiteer!

Proper profiteer.

Pei Meng said solemnly: Your Majesty has no sincerity!

Gu Jiu laughed, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

She played with the jade bracelet on her wrist and said meaningfully: According to the court's intention, your father and son obey the court's arrangement, hand over military power, and kill them. If you don't obey the court's order, kill them. The whole Pei family, punish them! This is also the fate of powerful officials and heroes in the past dynasties. The Pei family is only one step away from the family extinction today.

Ben Gong mediates in the middle, arranges for many years, and finally finds a way out for your Pei family, just to make a little profit, why, Uncle is not happy? How about doing things according to the old tradition, using the name of throwing cups, the Jinwu Guards took down the two men, punished the Pei family, and forced Luhou to raise the flag in the northwest, how about it?

Your Majesty, calm down! Mr. Dou was so anxious that he spit and broke out in a cold sweat, Everything is negotiable!

Gu Jiu leaned on the back of the chair, with a smile that was not a smile, I invite uncle to the capital for an interview. This is my sincerity, and at the same time, I take a huge risk. Because the courtiers will definitely object to your father and son taking the Northwest Army to leave the Great Zhou Dynasty , Crack the soil and seal the king.

In order to persuade the courtiers to agree to spend money and food to support this plan, do you know how much compromise I have to make and how much benefit I have to give up? If you pay, you will get something. If I earn a little profit from your Northwest Army, what is it in the face of the big picture? Uncle wants both money and power. If he is so greedy, isn't he afraid of turning his face against me?

Your Majesty misunderstood, Uncle has absolutely no intention of doing so! Your Majesty needs to reciprocate, this is a matter of course. The Northwest Army is grateful to your Majesty!

The one who smoothes things over is always Mr. Dou.

Gu Jiu was unmoved, she just stared at Pei Meng.

The two of them had been hanging out for half an hour before.

Mr. Dou drinks tea frequently.

Pei Meng Da Ma Jin Dao sat motionless on the stone bench, seemingly furious, but in fact he was full of patience.

Mr. Dou is just a pawn in the front line, Pei Meng has always been the one who really makes the decision.

What do you think Uncle, do you want to continue talking? Gu Jiu asked with a smile.

Pei Meng raised his eyebrows, If I don't want to continue the conversation, will your mother throw a cup as an excuse to let the Jinwu Guard arrest me? I dare to guess, the Jinwu Guard has been lying in ambush for many days outside Luhou's Mansion and Bo's Mansion. The reason why the empress left the two of us in the villa was to cut us off from the outside world.

The two hundred soldiers of the minister are the primary target of the Jinwu Guard. Since the minister is not in the uncle's house, my two hundred soldiers can only make their own claims and risk their lives to fight, thus confirming the fact that the Northwest Army rebelled. The imperial court can take the lead in dispatching troops and catch the Northwest Army by surprise.

clap clap...

Gu Jiu slapped his hands, Uncle's analysis is justified and well-founded. Bengong will ask again, how does Uncle plan to make a choice?

Pei Meng laughed, How sure is the Jinwu Guard to save the empress from the hand of the minister?

Gu Jiu smiled slightly, Uncle, you can give it a try, see if you can take Bengong's life.

Pei Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the tea and snacks on the table, Poisonous?

Gu Jiu neither denied nor admitted it.

Mr. Dou covered his stomach, with a look of horror on his face, Your Majesty poisoned you?

Does it hurt? Gu Jiu asked softly, It doesn't hurt, where did the poison come from?

Not poisoned? Mr. Dou looked confused, and he and Pei Meng looked at each other.

What the hell is your empress trying to sell, why don't you tell me bluntly.

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, I just want to have a good conversation, and I'm not pretending. Uncle, don't be nervous. I advise you not to take out the weapon in your arms, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Pei Meng clenched his hands tightly, and finally he let go of his fists, his face calm, I can accept your mother's suggestion. But the Northwest Army needs time to prepare for the battle against Xiliang.

I will give you a year to prepare for the Northwest Army.

One year is too little time, at least three years!

Gu Jiu shook her head with a smile, Then there's nothing to talk about! Why don't you talk about who will lead the Northwest Army after killing your father and son.

Too much deception!

Pei Meng had a gloomy face, Your Majesty really thinks you can kill me?

Gu Jiu glanced at him, Uncle, if you don't believe me, you can give it a try.

It's a joke, it's all a joke. Mr. Dou stopped Pei Meng, Madam, one year is indeed too little time, and the Northwest Army needs to make too much preparation. It will take at least two years.

Gu Jiu tapped the table lightly, One and a half years, I can only give the Northwest Army a year and a half at most.

One and a half years, when we set off, it happened to be in time for winter. Marching in winter, there were countless casualties. Is your mother intentionally killing the Northwest Army? Pei Meng asked sharply.

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and sneered, I believe that Marquis Lu must have a solution to this problem. Your Northwest Army can also choose to move ahead.

absurd!

Gu Jiu turned the teacup, Uncle's attitude is not the attitude of talking.

I only know that marching in winter is a big taboo.

Then take out the silver deposits of your Northwest Army and build a few more fortresses in the desert as transit points. Anyway, it will be useful for the future trade between the two sides.

Dare to fight is the idea.

Pei Meng said bluntly: When the Northwest Army arrives in Xiliang, these fortresses will all fall into the hands of the imperial court.

Gu Jiu asked with a smile: Uncle, can't you bear it?

Pei Meng is going to die of anger!

He suddenly discovered that Queen Gu was really negotiating with them with the attitude of a businessman, trying to win every penny, and never let go of any advantage.

Too much!

I need a list of supplies!

Can!

Pei Meng and Mr. Dou continued to live in the villa and started a long negotiation.

Back in the guest house, Pei Meng hit the wall with his fist.

Miscalculation! We urgently need a logistics officer for budget.

Pei Meng knew that he had fallen into the trap, but he had no choice but to jump off the trap.

If we don't discuss the quantity of the material list clearly now, Queen Gu will have plenty of ways to play tricks in the future.

The Northwest Army will fall into a passive situation of being led by the nose in terms of supplies.
