The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 232 Three-Year Agreement
When the power held by two people is completely on different levels, if they want to trade, the weaker one will inevitably be taken advantage of.

Shi Zhixuan had made preparations before coming.

“Guo Juxia, the evil emperor’s relic is nothing but a useless thing to the Ming Dynasty.

Now the Ming Dynasty’s biggest concern for the Sui Dynasty should be to allow it to last longer and not be taken over by the Mongols.

It would be best to wait until the Ming Dynasty is fully prepared so that we can capture the Sui Dynasty in one fell swoop." Shi Zhixuan said with a confident smile.

Guo Bujing seemed to be somewhat interested and looked at Shi Zhixuan without comment.

“If you give the evil emperor’s relic to me, I, although I am not talented, can guarantee that within three years, the Sui Dynasty will never be invaded by the Mongols at its borders.” Shi Zhixuan said solemnly.

"Why does the Evil King say such things?" Guo Bujing looked at Shi Zhixuan seriously with a slightly dignified tone.

Now that Pang Ban has been severely injured, the consequences are unpredictable.

The Eighth Division was also seriously injured.

Within a year, the Ming Dynasty was sure that the Mongols would not be able to attack the Sui Dynasty.

But more of the time, we cannot be sure.

The biggest unexpected event is whether Yang Guang will fight to the death and launch a third personal expedition?

And the results of the third expedition.

“Since you dare to come to the Ming Dynasty to make this deal, Shi has of course already prepared his sincerity.

I dare say that within three years, there will be a complete plan. "Shi Zhixuan said with a smile.

It seems as if he is in charge of the universe and can reduce the masts and oars to ashes while talking and laughing, and the temperament arises naturally.

Guo Bujing became more serious and extended his hand to signal, "Please speak."

"The first is Shi's other identity, Pei Jia, Pei Ju." Shi Zhixuan said seriously.

"Mr. Pei, who is in charge of the Western Regions for the Sui Dynasty!" Guo Bujing was shocked, and his tone changed obviously.

"It's Shi." Shi Zhixuan responded frankly.

"I never thought that the Evil King is actually Mr. Pei! I have really heard of you for a long time." Guo Bujing clasped his hands together and said sincerely.

Obviously, compared with the identity of the Evil King, he attaches more importance to the identity of Pei Ju.

"Thank you." Shi Zhixuan said with a smile.

"Mr. Pei, please continue." Guo Bujing really took it seriously.

An evil king, although he was very famous in the Sui Dynasty, was not taken seriously by him.

He was even more skeptical about the three-year statement.

But with the identity of Pei Ju, his credibility is greatly improved.

Because Pei Ju was recognized as one of the top talents in the Sui Dynasty.

He managed the Western Regions for the Sui Dynasty and achieved remarkable results. More importantly, he almost single-handedly divided the Turks into two, DTZ and Western Turks.

Since then, the strength of the Turks has greatly declined.

For example, last year the Mongols attacked DTZ, and the Western Turks did not join in.

This kind of ability is enough to make Guo Bujing pay attention to him and even admire him.

"If the Mongols want to conquer the Sui Dynasty, they must first destroy the Turks.

In order to gain time, if nothing unexpected happens, they will just destroy DTZ first.

The lips and teeth are interdependent. Shi is confident that he can persuade Western Turks and DTZ to unite to resist the Mongols.

Not only the Western Turks, but also the Tiele and Tuyuhun were all forces that resisted the Mongol attacks.

Shi is confident that he can convince them to fight against the Mongols together." Shi Zhixuan seemed to be talking about something that came naturally.

Guo Bujing's eyes flickered, he pondered, his heart pounding.

Shi Zhixuan continued: "In addition to the foreign races resisting the Mongols, another point is the Sui Dynasty itself.

Yang Guang will definitely launch a third expedition in person. If he fails, the Sui Dynasty will have no chance of survival.

Shi can postpone Yang Guang's third personal expedition to the second half of next year.

There is no need to say much about victory. If we fail, Shi can also ensure that Yang Guang lives two more years.

As long as Yang Guang was still alive, the Sui Dynasty could barely hold on and would not allow the Mongols to attack easily.

Therefore, as long as the Ming Dynasty gives the evil emperor's relic to Shi, Shi will guarantee that within three years, the Mongol cavalry will never be allowed to enter the Sui territory. "

A calm and composed voice sounded slowly, but Guo Bujing suddenly felt a chill and looked at Shi Zhixuan deeply.

He really deserves to be called the Evil King.

He treated several countries as pawns so casually. What was even more terrifying was that the Sui Dynasty was also a country he had been loyal to. Unexpectedly...

This person has a cold heart, so you must never trust him easily. You must be cautious.

Facing Guo Bujing's gaze, Shi Zhixuan remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

After a few breaths, Guo Bujing thought slowly and said, "Mr. Pei is willing to do this, it should not be just for the evil emperor's relics."

"Of course." Shi Zhixuan chuckled and said, "In today's world, the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty are the most powerful, their monarchs are the most ambitious, and they are most likely to dominate the world.

The Sui Dynasty was already on the decline and was only a breath away from collapse.

Who will succeed the Sui Dynasty? The Ming Dynasty and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty have the highest chances of taking over.

Of course, Shi must prepare for the future. Compared with the Mongols, Shi is more inclined to the Ming Dynasty. "

It makes sense, but Guo Bujing only believed it partially.

However, the Pei family and Shi Qingxuan might indeed be the ones he cares about.

"I will report Mr. Pei's intentions to Your Majesty. Also, this transaction involves important matters, and I cannot make the decision. It needs to be decided by Your Majesty. I hope you can forgive me." Guo said politely.

“No problem, Shi will be waiting for news from Guo Juxia.

However, please inform His Majesty the Holy Martial Emperor that I must first obtain the evil emperor's relic. Only in this way can I have greater strength to carry out the three-year plan. "Shi Zhixuan said solemnly.

"I understand." Guo Bujing nodded.

After leaving his contact information, Shi Zhixuan left quietly.

Guo Bujing did not move. After pondering for a while, he began to write a letter and sent it back to Ming Dynasty urgently.

Then he continued to do other things at a leisurely pace.

In the next few days, slightly to Guo Bujing's surprise, more people from the Sui Dynasty's evil sect came to him one after another, all wanting the evil emperor's relics.

All kinds of conditions were put forward.

The famous Queen of Yin has also come.

However, Guo Bujing did not take it too seriously. Although these evil sects had strong and complex roots in the Sui Dynasty, they were important for the Ming Dynasty's future strategy to conquer the Sui Dynasty.

But compared with the conditions offered by Shi Zhixuan, it is far worse.

The Mongols were the real rivals of the Ming Dynasty.

Stopping the Mongols for a year is more important than having these evil ways help the Ming Dynasty take over a few provinces.

However, in order to put pressure on Shi Zhixuan, Guo Bujing did not explicitly refuse.

It was very lively here at Guo Bujing's place, and Zhu Houzhao in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was also affected.

After receiving Guo Bujing's report, he thought about it and then pulled the cabinet, Lao Gu and others over.

After they pondered for a while, Liu Jian spoke first, "Your Majesty, Pei Ju's character is truly terrifying and ruthless, and you cannot trust him lightly.

But if he can really do it, it will be of great benefit to our Ming Dynasty and will not cause any harm.

All the Ming Dynasty needs to pay is a relic of the evil emperor. I think this deal is worth making."

The other people also nodded. In their opinion, it was just a relic of the Evil Emperor and was nothing at all.

If Shi Zhixuan can really do what he says, Ming Dynasty will make a lot of money.

Pei Ju's identity gave them some confidence.

"Your Majesty, I think this deal is indeed feasible.

But the biggest question is, after Pei Ju gets the evil emperor's relics, will he do his best?
Although the Pei family can contain him, judging by the character he has shown, they may not be reliable." Gu Xichao said distrustfully.

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and said with a domineering smile: "Then let's make this deal and give him the evil emperor's relic.

No one in this world can deceive the Ming Dynasty. If he dares, kill him.

Send a message to Lao Guo that I agree to this matter, and tell him that sentence, and ask him to warn Pei Ju. "

"Yes." Zhang Fengfu who was present responded.

"Humph, Yang Guang, this rubbish, really still refuses to give up and wants to lead the army for the third time." Zhu Houzhao changed his tone and angrily cursed, "The most despicable person in the world is a rubbish like him who doesn't know his own abilities and is self-righteous.

I don’t know how many people will be killed by him.”

Everyone was silent. Compared to Yang Guang, their Majesty really had no shortcomings at all.

Even the three members of Liu Jian's cabinet often felt a sense of relief.

After cursing a few more times, Zhu Houzhao asked everyone to leave and go back to work.

the next day.

Zhu Houzhao toured the six ministries and returned to the Qianqing Palace, where he saw Bai Qing'er and Bai Fanghua waiting for him.

"Your Majesty!" The two men bowed slightly, then hugged Zhu Houzhao's arms, one on the left and one on the right.

"Fanghua, Qing'er, why are you here?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, we two have come here to report something important." Bai Fanghua said solemnly and dignifiedly.

"What's the important matter?" Zhu Houzhao became even more curious.

“Your Majesty, you also know that the two of us are from the so-called evil sect of the righteous sect. I am from the Tianming Sect, which was derived from the Yin Gui Sect of the Ming Dynasty.

Sister Qing'er was born into the Yingui Sect of the Sui Dynasty.

Today, we two received news from our sect that the two sects’ sacred objects, the Evil Emperor’s relics, are in the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

A message was sent to the two of us, asking Your Majesty whether the evil emperor's relics could be bestowed upon them.

They can report back to His Majesty with the mission items." Bai Fanghua said calmly.

It seemed as if he was standing on a third-party stance, his attitude not leaning much towards the Yingui Sect or the Tianming Sect, he was just speaking the truth.

Bai Qing'er on the other side nodded, her innocent big eyes said obediently: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the two of us, everything is for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty.

If my family offers enough benefits, you can give the evil emperor's relics to them.

If it's not enough, don't agree to it.

Your Majesty, both the Yin Gui Sect and the Tian Ming Sect have many, many good things, you must not be soft-hearted. "

He looked serious and seemed to be completely on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh a few times, pulled his hands out of the warmth and softness, hugged the two women's soft bodies, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely put the interests of the Ming Dynasty first."

Then, he asked curiously, "Do the Yin Gui Sect and Tian Ming Sect really have so many good things?"

"Yes, a lot." Bai Qing'er nodded repeatedly, with a hint of a smile on her face, which was extremely cute.

"What exactly is it?" Zhu Houzhao asked more curiously.
