Qiu Feishan naturally knew that Pang Xiao had never been easy to get along with, but she was still somewhat embarrassed when she spoke the ridicule so bluntly.
Qiu Feishan suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said, "Your Highness is really busy with other affairs, you can forget about such a big event. It doesn't matter if you don't deal with it. What you have done in cooperation in the past will be revealed for the time being, we are for the future. "
Several people were silent. In such an awkward atmosphere, Mu Jinghu even wanted to directly plug Qiu Feishan's mouth and throw the person out.
Qiu Feishan didn't care at all, and continued: "Now Lu Heng is colluding with the Tatars to attack Dazhou, and Huichuan County is so close to the capital, if it falls, I am afraid that the capital will not be able to respond in time if it wants to take precautions.
"Although Duke Ding is a fierce general and has experience in defeating the Tartars, he was well prepared at the beginning, and the situation is far from comparable to the current situation."
Pang Xiao was unmoved at all, and asked indifferently, "What do you want to say, let's be blunt, why go around?"
Qiu Feishan didn't care about his attitude, and smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll just talk about it. Regardless of other things, the cooperation between me and the prince in the past should be considered quite pleasant. I hope to be able to Continue to cooperate with the prince. As long as the prince is willing to agree to ask the decree to go on an expedition, expel the Tartars, and destroy Lu Heng's group, then the military salary that the court can't get, I'd like to make up for you in private."
Speaking of this, Qiu Feishan stood up, and her voice was full of loyalty and excitement: "The imperial court will not be able to provide the money for disaster relief, let alone the money for repelling the Tartars. When the people are in danger, the most hope is What is it? If the lord of the gods descends from the sky at this time, and relieves the foreign aggression at his fingertips, if nothing else, the prestige of the lord of the god of war will be even better than before!"
Taking a few steps closer, Qiu Feishan bowed her hands, "I know that the lord is a big hero with a big heart, so I naturally understand what to say when the time comes. This is a way of killing two birds with one stone, we are mutually beneficial and win-win, what reason does the lord have to refuse? ?"
Mu Jinghu's hands behind his back clenched into fists, almost making a clicking sound. This philistine woman who came to negotiate with Pang Xiao during the national crisis turned out to be his son's mother! Mu Jinghu really wanted to strangle her to death!
Qiu Feishan confidently waited for Pang Xiao's answer. She believed that with Pang Xiao's cleverness, he knew when to do something, and he would never give up this excellent opportunity to perform.
So when Pang Xiao's mocking smile hung on the corner of his lips, Qiu Feishan was still stunned for a moment.
"Boss Qiu's abacus is good." Pang Xiao's voice was leisurely, but the words he said were not friendly, "Let's talk to you like this. Even if this king wants to go on an expedition in the future and go to pacify the Tatar rebellion, it will be the king himself. I want to go. It has nothing to do with you, let alone any cooperative relationship. The money is not enough, the court has its own arrangements, and this king does not need the sponsorship of Boss Qiu."
Qiu Feishan was stunned for a moment. She, who had been full of confidence since entering the door, finally fully understood the current situation. Pang Xiao is not someone who is at the mercy of others. She knows his toughness, but she did not expect that at this juncture, Pang Xiao still refuses to cooperate with her!
"My lord, please think about it carefully. The current situation is really too unfavorable for the people. If you delay it, once the Tatars break Huichuan, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"What do you care about is the common people?" Pang Xiao's sarcasm became even more obvious, "How can someone with such a heart and a sense of justice not care about killing his own grandfather? As far as I know, your grandfather holds you in the palm of his hand. , carefully cultivated and grown up, and it was Qiu Yuanqing who killed your grandfather. Now you can still stand on the front line with Qiu Yuanqing, and Boss Qiu's actions really make this king unable to see through."
"But it doesn't matter, this king doesn't want to see it through. This king is a reckless man, and some things are inaccurate, so there is no need to force yourself. Different ways are different, Boss Qiu, you still don't have to. I took the trouble to persuade this king."
Mu Jinghu stood aside, listening to Pang Xiao's words, his face flushed with embarrassment for Qiu Feishan. Obviously, she was deeply ashamed of Qiu Feishan's actions.
Qiu Feishan gradually regained her calm after being stunned. He didn't care about Pang Xiao's ridicule at all, which was even comparable to his face-slapping remarks, but said: "Prince Zhongshun is a smart man, think about it, you have promised to cooperate with me now, and you will be able to get support from food and salaries after you send troops in the future. But if you don't agree, you might still have to go on expeditions in the future. Do you expect the Holy One to pay you for food?"
On the surface, this seems to be stating facts and reasoning, but in fact it is an obvious threat.
Mu Jinghu said earlier that the Qiu family and the Lu family gradually completed the transfer after the failure of the Lu family. Now the Qiu family has become a prominent family, and the people who have been buried in the court for many years can finally be used. The family's financial resources and connections, if she wants to influence anything in the court, there are people who can stand out.
Now that Pang Xiao does not agree to Qiu Feishan's cooperation, she has the ability to make Pang Xiao go on the expedition as usual! And at that time, it is very likely that the court will not be able to take out the money at all.
If you do not agree to cooperate, you will usher in a more embarrassing ending!
"Enough!" Before Pang Xiao could speak, Mu Jinghu couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily, "You don't think it's shameful enough!"
Qiu Feishan was stunned by Mu Jinghu's roar, and looked at Mu Jinghu blankly, "You..."
"How could I marry a woman like you! You are full of interests, and anyone can take advantage of it. Is this marriage between me and you that you can take advantage of?"
"How can you say that?" Qiu Feishan finally lost her composure and said anxiously, "Between you and my husband and wife, have I ever hurt you? Think back carefully, have I ever done something bad for you! I did I didn't involve you in all the things that happened, and I made it clear just now that family matters are family matters, and major matters are major matters. How can they be confused? No matter how much I do outside, I have never hurt you!"
"Enough! Please come back!" Mu Jinghu shouted, stepping forward and grabbing Qiu Feishan's wrist and pushing the person out.
Biying hurriedly came to help Qiu Feishan and screamed angrily: "Uncle, what are you doing! Our lady..."
"Shut up! What's the matter with you!" Mu Jinghu roared back unceremoniously and threw the two out together, "It's not enough for you to be ashamed! Get out of here!"
Qiu Feishan and Biying stumbled a few steps, and managed to stand firm. They looked up at Mu Jinghu, whose eyes were full of anger on the steps. Tears were already gathering in Qiu Feishan's eyes.
Qin Yining was worried that Mu Jinghu's anger was not serious, so he hurriedly let people push Pang Xiao and led them out the door.
Mu Jinghu said, "Let's go. Don't want to use us in the future. Neither I nor Zhi Xi are the marionettes in your hands, you can play with them at will."
"I don't, I am to you..."
"I don't want to believe your words anymore." Mu Jinghu stepped down the steps step by step, looked at Qiu Feishan's tearful eyes, and said sarcastically, "Tell me, how much did your clever mouth deceive me in the past? I'm invisible. How long have you been your accomplice? If you act like this, you are not afraid that Brother Yan will follow suit in the future? Who else can you tell the truth?"
Qiu Feishan's tears streamed down.
Mu Jinghu felt great sadness in his heart, and his eyes were red. To avoid losing his temper, he turned around and went to the side yard.
Qiu Feishan looked at the calm faces of Pang Xiao and Qin Yining again, opened her mouth, and finally only squeezed out a sentence: "Farewell." She left quickly with Biying.
Qin Yining frowned and looked at Qiu Feishan's back, which seemed to be fleeing, and sighed: "What can I do, a good couple..."
Pang Xiao also sighed, Mu Jinghu was his brother after all, and the young couple who only made trouble because they were involved in their affairs were in such a situation, and he felt really sorry for them.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao went back to the bedroom, removing their coats, and the two were relatively silent.
After a long time, Qin Yining said: "Zhi Xi, I don't think Qiu Feishan will let it go. Maybe she will really use her power to persuade the sage to order you to go out."
Pang Xiao nodded: "I think so too, don't look at this woman who is sad because of what Wood said, but when she looks back, she doesn't have to do what she should do? She is a smart and cunning person, and she must be left behind. "
Just as Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had guessed, in the imperial study, Li Qitian was sitting behind the desk in a black uniform, looking down at the courtier kneeling in front of him.
Fang Shouru, the servant of the Ministry of Household, is over fifty years old, but he is still old and strong, and his voice is loud and powerful when he speaks back: "… I ask the Holy High for permission to use Prince Zhongshun, and put aside the mistakes he made in the past for the time being. For today's plan, it is important to expel the Tartars from the country first. If Prince Zhongshun and the Duke of Dingbei can cooperate, and the strength of the Huben army is injected, the Tartars will be defeated, and the trapped Longxiang army will be defeated. The danger can be resolved.”
Saint Longchong's army is still trapped now. Fortunately, there are many people, and after Ji Zeyu's training, and the Tartar forces have also been dispersed, this can barely support anyone and can't defeat anyone immediately. But in the long run, the loss of Longchong's army will only get bigger and bigger. Wouldn't it be distressing at that time
Li Qitian rubbed his aching eyebrows.
In the past few days, it is not just a minister who is advising him to use Pang Xiao. Not only the old officials of the Northern Hebei, but even his direct descendants thought so.
He didn't understand, why did everyone think of Pang Xiaolai when it came to war? Could it be that without Pang Xiao in this world, there would be no way to fight wars
Seeing that Li Qitian did not answer immediately, Fang Shouru said eagerly: "Sir, minister..."
"Okay." Li Qitian interrupted Fang Shouru's words, "You go back first. I still need to think about it."
Fang Shouru's words were choked up and down in his throat, he finally calmed down after taking a breath, bowed his head respectfully, and then quietly left after bowing.
Li Qitian did not speak for a long time, still sitting quietly behind the desk, as if thinking about the current situation.
After Fang Shouru left the palace gate, he immediately instructed the servant to send a letter out. Although nothing was written on the letter skin, the first word in the letter was "Autumn".
