Chapter 933: One sentence is worth a box of jewelry
"If Zuo Pushe feels that what this person said is wrong, how could he possibly agree to negotiate with you?"
Wu Yancheng looked at Aka with a teasing look.
"If I remember correctly, the year Zuo Pushe was still called Shibi Khan, he was killed by Modu, the highest noble of the five Dulu tribes."
"Seven years later, his own brother was killed by Helu, the son of Modu, the highest noble of the five Dulu tribes. His agreement to peace talks was also for the sake of the majority of the Turkic people!"
Aka nodded repeatedly and said yes.
But in his heart, he was secretly laughing at Duoduo. He was just the king of a fallen country. What was the point of him being so good to his former subjects?
Can’t you go back to the Turks?
He could never say out loud the sarcasm in his heart, so he lowered his posture and bowed to the sky.
"The Khan is so kindhearted that it really puts us to shame!"
Wu Yancheng found it funny. He had already seen the clue from Aka's eyes which he had no time to hide.
For Li Cunxi's plan, he had to pretend not to see it.
"You don't know, for the sake of the people, Zuo Pushe put aside his hatred for Helu and came here to negotiate peace, but he didn't expect to be struck by a sudden illness."
"The imperial physician diagnosed the patient for several days but he still showed no improvement. We had no choice but to continue to procrastinate."
"Our emperor does not want to negotiate with you. You all know this now. It is extremely difficult to ask his majesty to send someone to negotiate with you again!"
"For now, perhaps you can only ask that person for help!"
Wu Yancheng slowly stood up, ignoring Aka's expectant gaze.
He has said almost everything he needs to say, and what follows is up to Aka to figure out on his own!
Seeing Wu Yancheng was about to leave, Aka hesitated for only a second and immediately waved to the followers behind him.
The attendant was stunned for a moment, then immediately brought out a small box, brought it to Aka's side, and opened the lid.
Wu Yancheng glanced sideways and saw a whole box of gold neatly arranged. He licked his lips and laughed "Hehehehe".
"Please give me some advice, sir!" Aka said confidently.
Wu Yancheng didn't say anything, but stretched out another finger.
Aka understood these words that were difficult to say out loud, and immediately waved to his followers.
But in the time it took to drink two sips of tea, the attendants brought out another box of gold.
"You're really good at reading people!"
Wu Yancheng sat down again happily, touching the refreshing gold, and met Aka's expectant gaze.
"grown ups!"
"These few items are not a sign of respect!"
"I just want to make friends with adults!"
"I also hope that you will give me some pointers, considering my sincerity in wanting to be your friend."
Aka is indeed very sincere, of course, this is all just talk.
Wu Yancheng squinted his eyes and smiled, and his smile was particularly contagious.
"What's the point of talking about giving advice or not? Aren't we friends now?"
"Although most officials in the court do not want peace talks, for someone like me who is only interested in profit, I naturally want to negotiate."
"Only through peace talks can I, a clerk at the Honglu Temple, rely on my connections to gain some benefits, right?"
"However, there are some things I can't tell too many people, so I'll just tell you."
He rubbed his hands, stretched his neck, and said a place name to Aka's Aduo.
A-Ka was stunned. “Xuanwu Street, then what?”
Wu Yancheng leaned back and rubbed his fingers habitually.
Aka understood what he meant and continued to wave his hand, and his followers brought out another box of treasure.
Wu Yancheng was satisfied and said, "Di Mansion."
"and then?"
Wu Yancheng said nothing, just rubbed his fingers.
Aka: o·(?w?)?o·?.
He has been an official for so many years, but he has never seen anyone so corrupt!
There are quite a few corrupt officials among the Turks, and he often hangs out with them. This is the first time he has seen someone so corrupt!
In just one sentence, he asked for a box of gold, silver and treasures. How many words could this grandson say about the gold, silver and treasures he brought?
"Can you tell me first and I'll give it to you after you're done?" he asked tentatively.
Wu Yancheng remained silent, only looking down at the thumb and index finger of his right hand.
When A-Ka looked over, he saw the pads of the two fingers were rubbing together.
Aka finally understood and stopped struggling. He continued to signal his subordinates to take out the gold, silver and treasures he had prepared to bribe the officials.
Wu Yancheng opened the lid of the box, took a look inside, and confirmed that it was full of good things. Then he closed the lid and nodded happily.
"Then I won't hide it anymore!"
"Di Mansion on Xuanwu Street!"
"The current Prime Minister, Internal Affairs Minister Di Renjie, is a die-hard pacifist and desperately hopes for peace talks between the two countries!"
"You can go find him with the gift, and you will definitely get a solution from Lord Di!"
"By the way, Lord Di is known for his thriftiness. When you visit him, don't bring too many goodies with you, or he'll think you're trying to bribe him!"
Aka breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the money was not wasted.
He was afraid that Wu Yancheng would ask them for gold, silver and jewelry again, so he hurriedly and respectfully saw Wu Yancheng off from the Honglu Hotel.
Late at night, during curfew, Wu Yancheng entered the palace, presented all four boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and recounted the whole process. Then he shook his sleeves and strode away.
Li Cun looked at the four boxes of jewels in the imperial study and smiled faintly.
"I didn't say you can't accept gifts. I accepted a lot of gifts in the past, didn't I?"
"I never thought your cousin was such an upright official!"
Wu Yanhao, who was hiding behind the curtain, came out, rubbed his temples, and said:
"My cousin is just stubborn. It's not easy for him to portray himself as a corrupt official..."
"Besides, my uncle's family shouldn't be short of this."
"By the way, you sent someone to urgently call me back and didn't let me show up. Did something happen?"
Li Cunxi hummed, sat down sideways, raised his left leg, and put his hands on his knees.
"I called you back, and you don't know why?"
"My father-in-law mentioned it to me a few days ago. He said your princess is already seven months old. He hopes you can come back earlier this year."
Wu Yanhao rubbed his hands eagerly: "This is great, I've been saving this for over half a year!"
"Just tell me what you're saying. If your father-in-law hears you, he'll beat you to death."
"Oh, I only dare to say this to your face. In a few years, if your temper gets worse, I'll have to be more careful with what I say."
The midnight snack was brought in from outside. Shangguan Wan'er ordered someone to clean the small table and then asked the palace maid to set the chopsticks.
The midnight snack was a menu set by Di Renjie, all of which were very nourishing. After that, Li Cunxi would head south of Yongxiang under the escort of the Qianniu Guards...
The one who serves him in bed tonight is still Li Cunxi's favorite Xiao Mei. However, Li Cunxi has been trying for more than two years, but Xiao Mei's belly is still not moving.
"You're not even twenty years old yet, and you've already become like this?"
"Are you drinking?"
"Who can I vent my drinking to?"
"Forget it then."
