Chapter 518 Arriving at the post house again (one more)
Qin Wubing ignored the old monk and said:
"Why does he want to kill me? In his opinion, we are also divided into two factions, and I am the main one. He knows that it is useless to talk to me, so he wants to kill me so that the emperor can send someone to negotiate peace. This is already his He acted after being forced into a hurry, but no matter how anxious he was, he didn't dare to go back to Beiyuan and say that he had made a mistake before."

Prince Xiang smiled and said, "You just caught him."

"Yes! Of course there is also the reason why we are not short of money now. We can't afford to go to war as a last resort, but as long as we start fighting, we don't want to do anything about Bei Yuan. We only talk about ourselves. The money has not been warmed up yet. We have appointed a lot of flowers, soldiers We must work hard, I don't know how many mothers will lose their sons, how many children will lose their fathers, so I don't advocate going to war unless it is a last resort, so I want the second prince to know that our court has money now, and there are powerful soldiers in the army Blade, show our strength, let them think together in their hearts, can we win? Then stop the evil thoughts and talk honestly."

"You're talking double-crossed again!" the old monk yelled.

Prince Xiang said: "Even if the second prince understands clearly, it may be useless. If he sends the news back, it will be misunderstood and no one will believe it!"

"I agree with Brother Ninth, so I think it will be more useful for the second prince to deceive the old Khan's trustworthy people who are with him all day during the peace talks. Here, let our soldiers practice for them. We don’t need to use too many soldiers, [-] or [-]. I don’t know how big the difference is in terms of momentum. We have to find capable people in the army to arrange for all cavalry and infantry. , must look very bluffing, the uniform of the soldiers is military discipline, and the new military uniform is our financial resources, the weapon in the hands of Beiyuan has never been seen before, it is our magic weapon for victory..."

"You mean to show them our strength instead of hiding it?" the emperor leaned forward and asked.

"Hiding, even showing weakness, is for the sake of surprise on the battlefield! But we are not armed to the teeth yet, no, we have not been able to equip all the border soldiers... We still need time! Then show it and scare them away, Gaining time can be regarded as winning a battle. During the time gained, silver can regenerate silver, soldiers in the army can really be equipped with better weapons, and the emperor can also free up his hands to do a good job. The army, I don’t understand this aspect, such as food and grass supply, casualty compensation... In short, everything is ready. At that time, if there is no fight, it will be fine. Once the fight starts, they will not dare to commit crimes for ten years! And now the war... ...in a hurry."

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Are you confident in recruiting someone Beiyuan Khan trusts...?"

Qin Wubing honestly shook his head.

The old monk was anxious: "I have no confidence that you are talking so lively!"

"I'm going to work hard, don't care if I can be cheated or not, we have to let our soldiers practice! Yu'er's red-tasseled guns, continuous crossbows, hooks and forks, the Ministry of Industry has to find a way to make them. By the way, once the army starts to ask for these If that's the case, corruption is really scary, the emperor and Brother Ninth have to be on guard, money is not easy to come by, how many years has He Sheng been saving..."

"If you didn't mention corruption, I would have forgotten what to do in the palace. Tell the emperor what you told me earlier." Prince Xiang interrupted Qin Wubing with some excitement.

Qin Wubing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did I say before?"

"It's the Inspectorate..."

……

It was already late noon when Qin Wubing left with the eldest princess, and wasted some time by having lunch with the emperor.

After leaving the palace gate, Qin Wubing comforted the Eldest Princess and said: "You go home and wait for me, and I will vent your anger on you!"

The Eldest Princess said urgently: "You must not do anything again, you really made him anxious..."

"Don't worry, I don't need to do anything to bully him."

The old monk said triumphantly, "When did you see him suffer?"

Prince Xiang also said: "Don't worry if you are free from illness!"

The eldest princess got into the car and left.

Qin Wubing asked Prince Xiang to take some time to rest, Prince Xiang was too lazy to listen to his ramblings, so he got in the car and left.

Only then did Qin Wubing get into the car with the old monk, and then he remembered: "Yu'er entered the palace to find the emperor, and to prevent the emperor from sending me any more serious errands. I forgot to ask the result just now?"

The old monk snorted and said:

"How important is the result? When you find out that the job is going to kill you, will you have time to quit? Just like now, eh, no, is this going to send us to death? How can you vent your anger on Yu'er?"

"Let's not go to the post house, but call them to Honglu Temple."

"What if they excuse that the second prince is injured and can't come?"

"Then let's go home, they are the ones who are anxious anyway."

"What if they go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow?"

"The emperor can not see you."

"You said it lightly. What if they just stood at the gate of the palace and didn't leave? Not only did the emperor make trouble, but also the officials of Honglu Temple were punished. The emperor will not punish you, but you have to put on a show. If you do this every day , hum, but I don’t know who is in a hurry!”

Qin Wubing frowned and thought about it, suddenly with a clear expression, he praised the old monk and said: "It is said that an old family is like a treasure, it is true! Uncle Qi's words awakened the dreamer! I said how did they turn around?" It’s so fast, so it’s digging a hole for me!”

"Oh? Talk about it!"

"Let's not go to Honglu Temple, go directly to the post house!"

"You don't want to die?"

"After the assassination incident last night, they thought I was afraid to go to the post house, so they came up with this method. First, I wrote an apology letter to show my weakness, and then went to the palace to tell the emperor what was wrong with me, and then returned to the post house. Honglu Temple waited for them, the more they wanted me to go to the post house, the more I dared not go, so they would have the opportunity like Uncle Qi said just now, what they thought was that the emperor was annoyed, so naturally You will change me, since you can't kill me, then change me!"

"Who asked you this, I asked you to go to the post house like this... Do you want to send some guards? It's the same as yesterday..."

"No, just Feng Ming and Holmes will follow!"

……

Walking into the post house again, Qin Wubing held his hands behind his back and held his hands high, the old monk was also very pompous, before arriving at the post house, the old monk went halfway to the Prince's Mansion to pick up two young eunuchs.

Two young eunuchs carried an armchair, Qin Wubing stopped, they put the chair down, the old monk sat on it, crossed his legs and waited, when Qin Wubing moved, the old monk stood up again, the two eunuchs Continue to lift the chair and follow.

Xiao Fu and Xiao Er each carried a tray with teapots and cups on it, one belonged to the old monk and the other belonged to Qin Wubing.

The two of them walked around the courtyard of the post house like they were visiting a night market, but no one from the Beiyuan Mission came forward.
