Chapter 524 Living Up To The Trust (Part [-])
Xu Yanyi couldn't hide the excitement on his face. When he saw Qin Wubing enter the study, he got up and greeted him. His eyes lit up and he said, "I have reached an agreement with the Northern Yuan Mission, and the second prince will immediately send a message to return to Beiyuan." Yuan, persuade Beiyuan Khan to send a national teacher to the capital!"

Qin Wubing frowned and asked, "Drink?"

Xu Yanyi nodded with a smile and said, "I finally did not disgrace Captain Qin's trust in me!"

"The second prince is sure he can convince his father?"

Qin Wubing pulled Xu Yanyi to sit on the chair, leaned forward and asked.

The four of Holmes were busy serving tea.

Xu Yanyi said: "This time when the Northern Yuan Mission came to Anguo, the national teacher was going to follow him, but he didn't follow for some reason. They didn't tell me, so I didn't follow up and ask. Not difficult."

Qin Wubing asked: "How did you get them to come up with an idea so quickly? You said it would only take two days. I thought it would not be that easy, but you did it in less than a day."

Xu Yanyi smiled and said:
"It's better for Captain Qin to lay the groundwork for this matter, and if Captain Qin has figured out their intentions, it will be much easier for me to do it again. I just need to make it clear that Anguo can't give them a grain of rice for nothing, no matter what threats they say I laughed at what I said, and when they finish speaking, I will ask them to leave Anguo tomorrow and prepare for a battle!"

"Advance by retreat, are they stupid?"

"The second prince was furious, so the prime minister asked the second prince to go to rest first, saying that he wanted to have a heart-to-heart chat with me. The inn prepared lunch, and he wanted to drink, so I accompanied him. With the strength of wine, I said a few words from the bottom of my heart, and I told the prime minister, today’s An Guo is not what it was yesterday, and a bunch of big bugs were caught, and the national treasury was full all at once!”

"Does he believe it?"

"Their people have already heard a lot of gossip, but, to be honest, even I am confused. I only know that the court has arrested many corrupt officials, and many officials have voluntarily handed over dirty money. Today there are countless An official asked to be executed, but what caused it, I don't know."

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead, and he thought to himself: All leaders are the same. When encountering major events, they should hide it before they are determined. One day, a thunderstorm will explode suddenly. Those who don’t know think it’s sudden, and those who know It's been a year and a half since I knew this!

But with so many participants in He Sheng's case, it's a miracle that it didn't make a big splash!
"Once they believe that we are not short of silver, they will lose their arrogance." Qin Wubing said.

Xu Yanyi nodded and said:

"The prime minister is still persuading me, saying that once they leave, there will be a war. I said this is within the emperor's expectation. He also said that once the war starts, the people will suffer. I said, don't fight, when will the war start?" Didn’t you pick the head? Now that you think about it for us, let’s think about how to explain it when we go back! I’m afraid that it will be useless if you go back and say it. You will only be ridiculed for your incompetence. It’s really hard to trust people.”

Seeing that Qin Wubing listened very seriously, Xu Yanyi spoke more vigorously.

"The prime minister didn't speak for a long time, so I pretended to be sorry and said: 'I will send you out of the city tomorrow, and it will be difficult to see each other in the future...' Before I finished speaking, the prime minister took out two ingots from his arms. The gold was stuffed in my hand, and I said, "As a minister, you can't do anything! Can Mr. Xu speak to Emperor Anguo, and give some grain to buy peace!" I put the gold back and said, "Prime Minister, don't harm me, now the court will investigate." Strictly speaking, I have to hand in the front foot after receiving the front foot. Besides, it is the unanimous opinion of the whole court that there will be no grain. How can a petty official like me give an opinion?" He asked: "My lord, can you help us to clear up the relationship? ?' I said, 'Now whoever you look for is harming someone! You are always thinking about how to find a way out from us, why don't you look for a way out from yourself?'"

"How did he say?"

"He was silent for a long time, and I said: 'This matter is very simple for me. No one believes what you say when you go back, so you can find someone who believes what you say!' After hearing what I said, the prime minister was like I was stung by something, and my eyes lit up immediately."

"He said that he would let the national teacher come?"

"How could it be so simple, we chatted for a while, and finally I said that I still had an errand in the afternoon, so I picked up the glass and said that it would be difficult to see me again tomorrow, he immediately asked me to wait for a while, I pretended not to understand, He went to find the second prince."

Qin Wubing smiled and said: "Afterwards he came out again, just begging to stay for a while, and wait for their national teacher to come, you will be in a difficult situation!"

"Exactly! I said what did they do long ago, and now they have reported to the court to see them off tomorrow, what should they do!"

Qin Wubing let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "It seems that Mr. Xu will continue to act in these two days."

"The rest is simple. You have to trouble Captain Qin to ask for the emperor's order. At least on the surface, everyone in the court thinks that the Beiyuan Mission is leaving in disgrace, and the whole country must prepare for war. I will continue to deal with it, so that I can know whether the national teacher is leaving and when he will arrive."

Qin Wubing sighed and said: "It seems that Bei Yuan's life is really difficult!"

Xu Yanyi nodded, and suddenly clasped his fists together and said, "I don't know something, and I hope Captain Qin will clarify it!"

"Master Xu, but it's okay to say."

"After that, when the national teacher arrives, we will eventually give some benefits, even if it is to buy their cattle and sheep at a high price. If this is the case, why not give this favor to the second prince? What is the difference? "

"The national teacher represents Beiyuan Khan. I don't know how long this Khan can live. What we need is time. As long as the national teacher comes and sees part of our strength, he knows not to act rashly. Khan will not do it easily, which bought us time, and the second prince... If he wants to get favors this time, he will come again soon, Bei Yuan will think that we are still afraid of war, and they will open up It will only be more troublesome at that time! Even if the second prince knows that it is not a problem to go on like this, he has no good way, because he is only a prince, not a khan! This is the difference, we have money in our hands now, but It is very difficult to immediately transform into the uniforms and weapons of the soldiers! Only Khan Beiyuan can give us this time."

"But the national teacher from Beiyuan may arrive in a month or so, only this time..."

"Carefully build [-] soldiers and do superficial work, one month is enough! At least the money is spent on our own people. Even if we want to hide our strengths and bide our time, we have to see if it's worth it. Feed it to wolves, and in the end they will be bitten by wolves. Losing money! It’s just that I’m worried that the national teacher’s body will not be able to withstand the long journey, and the fatigue of the journey! One or two snowfalls…”

"I heard that the national teacher is only in his 30s."
