Chapter 152 Beauty Trap (please vote for me at the end of the month)
"His patience is limited?"

Cai Jing was very confused and couldn't help but ask.

Cai Quan bowed and replied: "That's true. The villain still doesn't understand why he was so angry when he mentioned Emperor Maode. If he hadn't held back in the end, the villain might not have been able to come back. He only said one last sentence : My patience is limited! So I sent the villain out of the camp."

Cai Quan immediately knelt down and said, "It's all my fault that I messed up my errand, please punish me!"

Cai Jing waved his hand and said: "Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you. Could it be that there are differences within Han Ji about Shang Diji? But no matter what, the marriage with the Tian family will be beneficial to them. Angry Soaring into the sky... doesn’t it make sense?”

Cai Jing and Cai Quan were puzzled, but they also knew that they could not delay any longer. Last night, the Korean army sent a thousand cavalry to sweep Matuogang and forced the two thousand guards to surrender.

Twenty thousand war horses instantly became the trophies of the Korean army. If estimated at market value, 2000 million horses were wasted.

If Han Ji takes advantage of the situation to recruit troops and cobble together [-] cavalry, the world may really have to be replaced.

Civil servants rode in sedans, military attachés rode horses, and the newly appointed Pingzhang rode a horse-drawn carriage for important military and state affairs.

After the explosions in the Grand Pavilion and the Privy Council, the palace restrictions became much tighter. Although they would not conduct body searches regardless of etiquette, Cai Jing was escorted to the imperial study room with royal equipment, and was handed over to Senior Official Liu before returning to the palace gate.

Zhao Ji, who was looking gloomy with several of his favorite ministers, saw Cai Jing coming in to pay his respects, and he managed to cheer up a little.

"No need to be too polite, Prime Minister Cai, just give me a seat!"

The internal official brought a soft cushion, and Cai Jing thanked him before sitting down cross-legged.

Wang Fu was a little jealous of Cai Jing's Pingzhang military and state affairs, so he happened to make things difficult for him today.

"Matuogang was occupied by Han Ni last night. This matter is not trivial. I wonder what Prime Minister Cai thinks?"

Cai Jing thought for a while and said: "With Han Ji's financial resources, even if it takes three to five years, it may not be able to completely transform 2 people into real cavalry. Therefore, this matter is not a top priority."

Cai Jing already knew Zhao Ji's intentions, so he prepared corresponding soothing remarks in advance.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji finally got some good news from Cai Jing, but Cai Jing said that Mu Tuogang was not a top priority, so what was?
"Cai Qing, if you have any important matters, you might as well tell me."

At this time, Cai Jing recounted Han Xiaoyao's three conditions completely.

Compared with the original conditions, these three conditions can be said to be much simplified except for requiring more compensation. Emperor Maode was not even mentioned anymore, which can be regarded as a concession by Han Ji to a certain extent.

Wang Fu didn't quite understand why Han Ji gave in in the negotiations after seizing Matuogang. This was unreasonable.

"This...what is Han Ni's intention?"

Zhao Ji, who was suspicious by nature, also became inexplicably nervous.

Could it be that the other party paralyzed the imperial court through negotiations, but was secretly preparing for a sneak attack?
Although Cai Jing didn't understand Han Xiaoyao's thoughts, he had an intuition that these three points were credible.

"The old minister thinks there are two possibilities. First, because the Forbidden Army was powerful before, Han Ji would fight if he could. Now, with the Forbidden Army losing streak and the number of troops increasing, Han Ji must have differences. In order to quickly calm down the internal troubles, he only asked Three core points.

Secondly, Han Ji simplifies the conditions, showing that the Han family's idea of ​​breaking the earth and becoming king is likely to shift to plotting the world, so the side conditions become dispensable. "

Suck!
Zhao Ji and others had to admire that her husband's eyes were really sharp and he could see through everything.

Li Yan couldn't help but blurt out: "Guan family, this thief is so ambitious that we would rather use the entire country's troops to kill him!"

Everyone agreed, Han Xiaoyao actually wanted to change the dynasty, wouldn't their glory and wealth disappear in smoke?

Cutting off people's fortunes is like killing their parents.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing again. After all, he was the prime minister, not to mention that the negotiation matters were entrusted to the other party. Even if a war started, he must respect it.

"The official family, the old minister thought, not only would they agree, but they would also marry Maode to Han's son. At the same time, the palace would invest in Han Ji's business to seek wealth."

Ok?
Cai Jing's few words silenced the whole audience. If they hadn't known each other for many years, they would have thought that he was old and confused, or that he had received a lot of benefits from Han Ji.

Zhao Ji thoughtfully asked: "Cai Qing, is there a deeper meaning to this move?" "Official sage!" Cai Jing cupped his hands and said: "Judging from the Han family's words and deeds, he has intelligence and means, and can also maintain sobriety and restraint. , this kind of hero is the most difficult to deal with.

But Han Ji is not a son of the Han family. He is made up of tens of millions of refugees who just want food, clothing and health.Of course, there are also some ambitious people among them who want to make trouble and gain glory and wealth.

At the beginning of the month, Han Ji had only a thousand troops, but now there are over ten thousand soldiers, and even fifty or sixty thousand people have been recruited and rebels. The veterans are not surprised, and even applaud! "

Zhao Ji seemed to understand what Cai Jing meant: "What Cai Qing means is that people talk too much and have mixed good and bad, which can easily lead to civil strife? Therefore, the more the imperial court shows weakness, the more arrogant and arrogant Han Ji's ambitious people will be?"

Cai Jing added: "This is exactly the case. The more urgent the imperial court suppressed them, the more united they would be. When the imperial court sent out a large army to encircle and suppress them, they would unite and risk their lives. Therefore, the more their soldiers fought, the more courageous they became.

But if the imperial court treats him favorably and gives him enough food and clothing, he can win without a fight in a year and a half.After all, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. As long as they can have enough food and clothing, the people will not rebel and fight desperately. "

Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly when he heard this, he was really an old man seeking the country!

Wang Fu asked somewhat unhappily: "Are hundreds of cities and towns in Hebei really giving away to each other?"

Cai Jing smiled and said: "It's just a temporary trusteeship, but it is still the territory of the Song Dynasty after all. The imperial court can promulgate good governance in Hebei, reduce taxes and labor to win the hearts of the people, grant officials and titles to powerful families for my use, transfer property and capable officials back to Henan, and let Han Remember to waste energy on troubles. If you don't manage it well, he will be troubled and flawless. If you manage it well, the officials will be benevolent and the court will reap the benefits. Why not?"

Wonderful!

The land of Hebei has always been barren. Since last year, bandits and wars have been rampant. As for Yanyun, there are ten rooms and nine empty houses. Even the officials appointed by the imperial court are unwilling to take up their posts.

Throwing this mess to Han Ji is like giving him a quagmire that slowly eats people. He will probably shed his skin even if he doesn't die.

Zhao Kai was concerned about his sister and asked, "Is it really necessary for Emperor Ji to grant a marriage?"

In response to this, Cai Jing answered eloquently: "The son of the Han family has a good skin, and he is at the age of Mu Shaoai. It is heard that he is engaged to the daughter of a refugee in Daming Prefecture. Internal Han Ji or the army also said that this is why There is the Damingfu faction, which is quite powerful.

Once married, the Maode Emperor Ji will be favored by the beauty of the country and the city. The old minister has heard that the Emperor Ji has been smart since she was a child. If she can use this to win over other forces in Hanji and compete with the forces of the Daming Mansion, it may not be possible to turn things around at the critical moment. "

Cai Jing stood up and bowed his head to Zhao Ji at this time, and solemnly begged: "The old minister dares to ask the officials to remember the country and the country, follow the example of Emperor Zhaojun and Princess Wencheng of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and marry Emperor Maode to Han Xiaoyao!"

Yeah ~

After hearing such a hidden plan, everyone was more and more convinced the more they thought about it.

What a beauty trick!

What's more, in the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, there are also allusions about making peace with relatives and stabilizing foreign countries. Unlike the last time Han Ji asked for marriage, this time he offered the marriage on his own initiative.

What an old and spicy old fox!
An emperor's concubine can eliminate a serious rebellion, which is simply better than a hundred thousand forbidden troops. This deal is so cost-effective!

Everyone stood up and bowed to Zhao Ji, echoing Cai Jing's request.

Zhao Ji was hesitant in his heart. He originally hated having anything to do with his daughter Han, a refugee.

As a father, he had always hoped that his favorite daughter would have a wedding that would make others envious of her, at least a young man with outstanding literary talent, or at least a daughter from a famous family with heirlooms of poetry and etiquette.

However, how could a vulgar refugee and a vicious bandit be worthy of the golden phoenix of the royal family of God?
However, Cai Jing said it clearly.

Han's son seems to be changing his ambition to conquer the world. Once he becomes firm in his will and brings all the people with him, he will be the commander of the ignorant soldiers in the court and the weak in the army. Who can stop him?

No, absolutely not!

I am the emperor of the ages, and I must not bear the infamy of ruining the Zhao and Song dynasties!

Maode is the most obedient and sensible person. He will definitely endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden for me and the world...

After a moment, a cold voice came from above.

"Let's draw up a purpose!"
