The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 417 Negotiations
The old butler led people to the back door, opened the door and found that the back door was also surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army at this time.

"What do you want to do?" The old butler said with a cold face, looking at the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army holding up their spears.

The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the old butler has been with Wanyan Sagai for many years, originally when these people saw him, that person was not respectful, but now unexpectedly, they turned against each other.

"It's not allowed to go out here!" The leading soldier said to the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper took a step forward and yelled at the soldier leader: "Do you know where this is? This is the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you know who you are talking to now? Do you not want to live anymore?"

The soldier leader snorted coldly, and said to the old housekeeper: "I don't care who you are, go back and take it with me honestly, if you dare to come out again, be careful, I'll cut you off!"

The old butler looked at the stunned-looking soldier in front of him, and felt that a scholar could not explain why he met a soldier. He pointed to the leader of the soldier and said, "You, hurry up and call your general over, let him Come and talk to me."

"Joke, who do you think you are, our general is something you can see whenever you want?" the soldier said coldly.

The old housekeeper choked. Facing such a soldier, he really felt helpless.

"Where is Diqiao? Tell him to come and see me?" the old butler said to the soldier.

"Go back and take it with you honestly, if you dare to make noise here, be careful of the sword in my hand!" The soldier leader said coldly.

The old housekeeper knew that he couldn't retreat at this time, so he shouted loudly: "Di Qiao, where are you, Di Qiao? I know this is your soldier, why don't you come out at this time? How long are you going to wait?"

Di Qiao was behind the crowd. He didn't want to go out to show his face at this time. After all, he still has some relationship with the prime minister's mansion. Going out at this time will inevitably not break the rules, especially when the special general just told him .

So he didn't show up at first, but sent the most stunned subordinate to guard the gate. This guy was the most reclusive, and he wouldn't listen to anyone's words. It was the most appropriate to send this person over.

But he didn't expect to be called directly. Of course, Di Qiao can choose to ignore it at this time, but Di Qiao is not such a person after all. He took a deep breath and finally chose to go out.

"Old butler!" Di Qiao saluted the old butler and said softly.

The old butler saw Di Qiao, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "General Di Qiao, your soldiers won't let me go out, I wonder if I can go out?"

Di Qiao looked at the old housekeeper in front of him, and said with a embarrassed expression: "Old housekeeper, there is nothing we can do. It is an order from the special general, and we are all following orders."

The old butler snorted coldly and said, "What is this place? Do I need to tell you? This is the Prime Minister's Mansion. Who is the special general? It's just a small imperial guard, a third-rank officer, who dares to order to surround a The mansion of a first-rank official? Did the head of the special general be broken or your heads were kicked by a donkey?"

Di Qiao was scolded for a while, and his face was a little ugly. At this time, he said angrily: "In any case, we soldiers should obey the general's orders. As for other things, we don't understand."

In fact, Di Qiao's words are quite resentful. After all, if Di Qiao was the head of the imperial guards at this time, then the current situation may not be like this, and now he is just a deputy. , His words have no effect on the special general at all.

The old butler heard Di Qiao's resentful words, thought for a while, and said to Di Qiao: "General Di Qiao, take a step to speak."

Di Qiao frowned and looked at the old housekeeper, hesitating.

But the old housekeeper pulled Di Qiao over involuntarily, and said softly, "General Di Qiao, you don't think the prime minister's mansion is over today, do you?"

After hearing what the old butler said, Di Qiao's heart trembled, she frowned and said nothing.

The old housekeeper went on to say: "The master has followed the emperor Taizu to fight the world since he was young. Now he has gone through three dynasties, experienced ups and downs, and has been at the juncture of life and death many times, but until now, he has always been the prime minister. Don't you Do you think that the Prime Minister's Mansion is so easily destroyed?"

After listening to what the old housekeeper said, Di Qiao frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little drummed in his heart. The reason why Wanyan Sagai is an old fox is that he is a cunning rabbit and three caves. It is impossible to say that this old guy has no defense Well, if the old fox can be killed this time, maybe it's okay, but if he can't die and turns over again, then if he doesn't let the old housekeeper out today, he will have a grudge.

After hearing what the old housekeeper said, Di Qiao couldn't help but her thoughts changed sharply, and several thoughts flashed through her unexpectedly.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has never been a person who doesn't remember people's kindness. Today, General Diqiao helped the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely give the general the greatest help in the future. The head of the imperial guard is just a third-rank official. When the time comes, he will become a general. , isn't it just a matter of what the master said?" The old housekeeper said persuasively.

Di Qiao's mind was a little active. To be honest, he was really moved at this time.

The old housekeeper has been with Wanyan Sagai for many years, and he has naturally developed a lot of ability to observe words and emotions. When he saw the expression change on Di Qiao's face, he immediately understood that he was actually tempted. At this time, he said while the iron was hot: "So Seeing the truth in adversity, after this incident, the prime minister's mansion will be the general's most staunch ally!"

Big stick plus sweet dates has always been the only way to control the next, and it is also applicable now. After balancing the pros and cons, Di Qiao can make the right choice immediately.

Di Qiao said softly: "Old butler, it's just that at this moment, with so many eyes looking at me, I'm really a little embarrassed. You also know that the orders given by the special general, my words, sometimes don't work well... ..."

At this time, the old housekeeper hurriedly said: "Of course I won't embarrass the general. In this way, general, you can find a few trustworthy people and open a gap. I will let the servants go out through the gap, so that the general will not be embarrassed." .”

Hearing what the old butler said, Di Qiao took a deep breath and said, "In this case, I will risk my life to help the prime minister, and I hope that after this incident, the prime minister will not forget to be an official! "
