Chapter 340: A tactful refusal

"Plop!" Landing on his knees, Tong Qiao knelt down in front of Kuang Ye.

At the moment when Tong Qiao knelt on the ground, Guan Ying also walked in front of Kuang Ye and whispered about what happened.

Kuang Ye's face was unchanged when he was sitting there, but when he heard the back, his anger had already risen, and after listening to what happened, he slapped the stone table angrily and said: "What a bastard thing, where did they stand the military law of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Needless to say, this is naturally accusing Qi Bushen of not. And after saying this, when he looked up at Yang Chendong, his face had returned to normal, "Loyal and courageous, I'm really sorry to make you laugh." ”

"Huh." Yang Chendong just pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and really didn't say anything, maybe at this moment, it was a little inappropriate to say anything.

"In this case, you go out and wait first, and I will have another conversation with the loyal father." Kuang Ye waved his hand and waved away Guan Ying and Tong Qiao.

Tong Qiao, who was worried, bowed his head and withdrew from the courtyard, and when he couldn't see Kuang Ye, he cautiously asked tentatively, "Master Guan, is the loyal and courageous prince that Kuang Shangshu said just now the one from the north?" ”

"Well, do you know how big the basket you almost poked this time?" Guan Ying nodded on his forehead, and when he spoke, the meaning of accusation became more and more obvious. Speaking of which, he was a little unconvinced in his heart, especially when he saw the real person, and found that he was so young, and it was not a three-headed and six-armed man, and he felt a trace of contempt in his heart. It's just that Kuang Ye is his teacher and his superior, and even the teacher respects each other so much, it's not easy for him to do anything against him.

After getting Guan Ying's accurate answer, cold sweat ran down his neck. Tong Qiao has long heard of the name of the loyal and courageous prince, this person not only saved the life of the current emperor Yingzong, but also defeated the very elite Warat army. Thinking that he was almost an opponent of such a person, a cool breath rose from the stalk of his hind feet, which really scared him a lot.

Under the gazebo. After there was no one else, Kuang Ye couldn't help but sigh again, "Loyal and courageous, I'm not afraid of your jokes, you also saw it, this is our Ming army." What was bewitched by the prefect of Hangzhou Qi, it was simply that he wanted to enter the city to fight the autumn wind. ”

Kuang Ye's ability to see things through at a glance is enough to prove that this is not the first time such a thing has happened, and it also proves that he is sober-minded. It's just that Yang Chendong still didn't answer, because he knew that the other party came here, not just as simple as meeting each other, but should have a deeper meaning. As for what it is, he also guessed a rough idea, he is waiting for the other party to say it, or it can be said that he is waiting for the price to sell.

Yang Chendong didn't speak, Kuang Ye didn't care, but continued to say, "Loyal and courageous, don't hide it, the situation in the south is not good now, especially Zhu Hui??" Hurry? 17. Crispy? Hydra? 缃裼中思思 stunned?? Wild.? ζΆ«εŸ”δΈ«?? Proud tearing eyebrows father sheath school?? Father's squid? Words break the toad!

"Oh? When did this happen? "Yang Chendong has been paying attention to the situation in Guangdong, and in history, there will be a preface to the Guangdong Rebellion (last year's Guangdong Rebellion has been put down, but only a Huang Yuliang has run, this time it is the Guangdong Rebellion after he continued his father's Huang Xiaoyang). In the records, Huang Yuliang was the first to rise to the army, just because of his arrival, Zhu Hui? Π₯ Satoshi is still poking and playing? Jackets? Divide the apricot line β”Ž Huang?

"I just received an eight-hundred-mile rush this morning." Kuang Ye said as he took out a notebook from his arms, and then handed it to Yang Chendong.

Regarding Kuang Ye's kindness, Yang Chendong did not reach out to pick it up, but waved his hand and said, "Lord Kuang, these national dukes don't have to go to see it." You also know that I am a courtier of Beiming, and now my family business and foundation, even my wife, are also over there, but don't harm me. ”

"Hey, how do you say this, you saved the emperor's life, and the earliest loyal uncle was also given by Yingzong, how can you say that you are a courtier of Beiming?" Kuang Ye has a serious appearance of reasoning.

"Okay, okay, Lord Kuang, there is no need to be so clear about this, I just went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors this time, and I really don't want to provoke other things. Besides, just now my lord said that the good and bad of the Ming army are uneven, and I am not an immortal, what can I do to help Emperor Yingzong share his worries? Yang Chendong waved his hand, with an attitude that he didn't want to answer.

"You are not an immortal, but you have a good relationship with the mercenaries, their demeanor has been seen by the old man a long time ago, it is really the elite of the elite, presumably if they make a move, the problem can be easily solved." Kuang Ye took this opportunity to finally get to the point, that is, he wanted to borrow mercenaries to fight, to quell the rebellion, and to solve the bandits in the south.

"Oh, this is embarrassing for me, the mercenaries have a limited number of manpower, and the money required to hire them is a big number, can the court take it out now?" Yang Chendong is still refusing, but this is actually just a temptation between the two sides.

Nanming is the country that Zhu Qizhen chose to build only when he had no choice but to retreat, because everything was forced, and the resources he could naturally get were limited. Even less gold and silver were taken from the treasury.

Although it has been said that for more than a year, relying on the rich south, the situation of the imperial court is far better than when it was first built, but it is far from reaching the ability to supply and fight two major battles. Yang Chendong said that the cost of mercenaries is too high, and it is based on this point.

"This... The emperor really can't take out too much gold and silver now. Kuang Ye had already lowered his head when he said this, but soon he raised his head again and said with a somewhat excited expression, "But isn't this a loyal and courageous father?" As long as you are willing to come out as a guarantee, that person owes you a life, how can this face be given. And as long as these two rebellions can be quelled, within five years, the imperial court can pay a lot more taxes, and at that time, there is naturally no problem in paying enough silver taels to the mercenaries, how? ”

"How?" Yang Chendong simply refused. This is clearly Kuang Ye wants the white wolf with empty gloves, what is the five-year period, and who knows what will become after five years? If Kuang Ye was gone at that time, who would he go to? This kind of thankless work, he will never do.

"Loyal and courageous people are good people, do they just watch the people of the south suffer from war and chaos, and their families are ruined? Otherwise, mercenaries send troops, but everything they see and like along the way can be taken away, how about using capital as military expenses? While speaking, Kuang Ye finally showed part of his hole cards.

Speaking of the Ming Dynasty after the rule of Renxuan, the people are still very rich, especially among the wealthy families and those who do business, there are a lot of priceless antiques and calligraphy and paintings, which are the existence of Kui Bao, once the war is ruined, it is really ruined. What is not destroyed is priceless for future generations. And now the most lacking thing in Xiaoliuqiu Island is people, and the most people in the Ming Dynasty are people, so it is also a great benefit to take the opportunity to "grab" some people to go back.

Speaking of those calligraphy and paintings, Yang Chendong has thought more than once in his heart that he wants to open a huge museum and put all those good things in it for future generations to admire, observe, and feel the profound heritage of this country with thousands of years of civilization.

Kuang Ye's words can be regarded as scratching his itch. But even so, Yang Chendong still didn't agree. "Lord Kuang, that's not what I said, I just have a life-saving grace for him, and he is willing to send someone to save my life and safety, that's all, and if you ask for it, it's a bit of an inch!"

......

Outside the Changjia Courtyard, the luxury carriage drove out of the mansion and headed straight for the Hangzhou Mansion in the city.

Kuang Ye sat in the carriage, his face somewhat disappointed. He had already tried his best to lobby Yang Chendong, which was also what Yingzong meant. But who would have thought that the other party still didn't agree, thinking that the two had a conversation to the end, he retreated and said, can you arrange some young Ming army generals to go to the mercenary camp for training, Yang Chendong directly refused on the grounds that the base is a secret place.

This kind of behavior of not giving a trace of face at all gave Kuang Ye a headache. He thinks he's released all his hole cards, but the other party just doesn't pick up, what can he do?

Fortunately, business is business, and private friendship is personal relationship. Yang Chendong's impression of him is still good, looking at his face, not only did he return Niu Zhi and others who had gone to Chang's house to make trouble before, but he even deliberately sent him out with the carriage he was riding, which was already showing a great respect.

"Hey, this loyal and courageous man, he doesn't look very old, but he does things like an old fox, even if he rejects you, it makes people can't be angry, but it's also a kind of ability." In the luxurious carriage, the old hand with wrinkled skin stroked the luxurious decoration in the carriage, and Kuang Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow suddenly roared into the air. Next, there was a burst of chaotic sounds outside, and then Guan Ying and Tong Qiao's voices remembered respectively, "Protect your lordship and capture the assassin!" ”

The chaos outside didn't last long, coming to an end after a barrage of weapons. Then Guan Ying's voice came from outside the carriage, "My lord, most of the assassins have been killed, only one person has escaped, and there are two alive. They... They said they had come to assassinate the loyal man. ”

"Assassinating the Loyal Father? Why did you find the body of this official..."The words were only halfway through, and suddenly Kuang Ye realized that he was in the luxurious carriage that Yang Chendong usually rides, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Hey, I really don't know if he has good intentions or knows that Gu is doing." ”
