Chapter 255: Successful bribery

Xiao Fan and Tuoluhuchaer met and greeted each other. Everyone knew the purpose of the meeting, but both of them were calm and did not mention the serious matter. Instead, they talked about the customs and customs of the capital or the grassland, and topics that were not related to interests. Both of them were very happy. When outsiders saw it, they clearly felt that they met too late. I believe that they would be chopped off the chicken head, burn yellow paper, and begged to be brothers.

Taking advantage of the hot chat between the two, the soldiers under their command had already spread the carpets and the shorts. The Mongolian soldiers of Duoyan Guard quickly set up tents. On the flat grassland, a large tent of five meters square rose up instantly. The tent was covered with bright red carpets inlaid with lace. Several shorts were placed on the carpet. In the middle of the tent, a whole small lamb was built on a small grill. The lamb turned and rolled on the grill, and soon it turned golden, with oil sizzling, mouth-watering.

Xiao Fan and Tuoluhuchaer joined in, and the two laughed and said, and they were in harmony.

Sitting cross-legged on the carpet, the two of them watched the Mongolian in the middle tumbling with the sausage sheep on the grill, and fell into silence for a moment.

After finishing the nonsense, both of them were organizing language and began to test each other.

After a long time, Tuoluhuchal narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Mr. Xiao, the warriors and I are far away in the grassland. Recently, I heard a rumor that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been in the throne for less than a year, and the newly ascended emperor, His Majesty, has the idea of ​​reducing the vassal states. I wonder if this matter is accurate?"

Xiao Fan's eyes twitched, and his face remained calm and said, "It's total nonsense, nothing is wrong. The Tongzhi is worried too much. The new emperor has just ascended the throne and the foundation in the court is unstable. Inside, he slowly gets along with the ministers. Outside, he needs to rely on the emperor's uncles to help guard the border. How dare the emperor speak out and reduce the vassals when the old and new changes? If this move is implemented, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world? The Ming Dynasty belongs to the emperor, how could he do such a stupid thing?"

Tuoluhuchaer's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said, "It seems that I am thinking too much. However, the reason why rumors are rumors is naturally credible. Even the Mongolians far away in the grasslands and deserts have heard of this rumors. I believe that the officials and people in the world know it. When a rumors are circulated by millions of people, the rumors become the truth. Lord Xiao must be careful."

Xiao Fan said angrily: "The person who spreads this rumor should be killed! This is a secret disaster, with a bad intention, and intends to distract the relationship between the emperor and the uncles of the emperor and the uncles. It is not hiding the rumor. After the emperor heard about this rumor, Long Yan was furious and ordered the official to investigate thoroughly. Now the Jinyiwei Tiqi came out everywhere and searched everywhere, swearing to find this person who spread the rumor, and it would not be too much to kill the nine clans!"

Tuoluhuchaer's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "So, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has no intention of reducing the vassal states?"

"Of course there is no intention! It's all rumors, and the rumors stop at the wise. I saw that Tongzhi was in a formidable position, with bright red and bright eyes, and my brain was more developed than muscles. I believe that Tongzhi must be a wise man, right?"

Tuoluhuchaer nodded repeatedly: "That's natural. People outside talk nonsense, I don't even believe a word. Besides, we were Mongolians who were grazing far away from the pass and knew nothing about the court. As long as the court asked us to grazle and recuperate, it would not have much impact on us whether the feudal vassal was cut off."

After saying that, Tuoluhuchaer looked at Xiao Fan and laughed. Xiao Fan also squeezed out his smile, and the two of them laughed to the sky at the same time.

There is actually no difference between saying something or not saying it. No matter how you defend the court's unintentional destruction, the people who say it do not believe it, and the people who listen to it do not believe it. In the current situation in the world, the battle between the court and the vassal kings is about to break out, and no one with a brain will believe Xiao Fan's nonsense.

But sometimes, even though they know it is a lie, the person who speaks pretends to be serious, and the person who listens pretends to believe it without doubt. Everyone needs this lie to find an excuse to cooperate, so the lies become the truth.

The two talked about a few more unrelated topics. Tuoluhuchaer was a straightforward Mongolian person. He was not used to the way of talking in the officialdom, so he simply went straight to the point.

"Lady Xiao ordered the Jinyiwei to send a letter last month and asked me to come here to meet me. I wonder what advice would you give me?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "I dare not give advice, I want to do business with Lord Tongzhi..."

Tuoluhuchaer's eyes lit up. Although he had guessed Xiao Fan's purpose, he still couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.

"I wonder what kind of business Lord Xiao wants to do with me?"

Xiao Fan smiled, stared at Tuoluhuchaer, and said word by word: "Please offer a price, the court wants to hire you Duoyan Three Guards for one!"

Tuoluhuchal looked shocked: "What is hiring?"

"It's just that the court pays the money. You are helping the court for the time being. Lord Tongzhi is a smart person, so I don't need my official to explain it more clearly, right?"

Tuoluhuchaer's face changed and he was silent for a while, lowered his eyelids, and said lightly: "I really don't understand what Lord Xiao said. The three guards of Duoyan are originally under the Ming Dynasty and are under the rule of King Ning. If you want to use the three guards of Duoyan, it seems that there is no need to discuss with me, right? Why not just find Your Highness Ning?"

Xiao Fan's face was slightly dark and said, "Mr. Tongzhi, I came here to meet you thousands of miles away. Does Tongzhi even owe a word of truth? The three guards of Duoyan and King Ning appear to have a subordinate relationship, but in fact, you Duoyan and the three guards of King Ning don't buy the account of King Ning at all. Tongzhi, some things are boring if you say too thoroughly. I only ask you one question, do you do this deal or not? If you don't do it, I will leave immediately and will never say a word of nonsense to you!"

Tuoluhuchaer said hesitantly, "Of course I want to do business, but... Duoyan has three guards, so I can only be the master of Duoyan guards. Taining and Fuyu guards are not my commander, I am afraid..."

Xiao Fan smiled so angry: "Isn't tell the truth yet! Why are the three guards of Duoyan called Duoyan? Because the three guards of Duoyan under your command the strongest strength, Taining Guard commands Azashili, Fuyu Guard commands Tongzhi Haisan to answer Xi, both of them follow your lead in Luhuchaer. Don't tell lies in front of the real person, don't tell me you can't be their leader. Besides, this is a good thing to send money to your door, I don't believe that there are people in this world that are so stupid that they push out the white silver. If you Duoyan Guards don't want to make this money, others are scrambling to ask for it, Tongzhi, you can't be too pretentious..."

When Tuoluhuchaer heard the word "silver", his eyes couldn't help but shine. His throat squirmed a few times, swallowing his saliva, and his face showed a greed look.

"But... if I do this business with the court in private, I will be considered to have broken up with King Ning..."

Xiao Fan sighed, the most unbearable thing is that he is a bitch and wants to stand a archway. He has been pretentious for a long time. Tuoluhuchaer's meaning is nothing more than not seeing a rabbit or not showing off an eagle.

He pulled Tuoluhuchal's hand and Xiao Fan strode and led him out of the tent.

"Sir Tongzhi, come here, I'll show you something practical..."

Because he was worried that Ji Gang would be on the battlefield in the capital after leaving, Xiao Fan was determined and simply brought Ji Gang out. Now Ji Gang was leading more than a thousand Ming troops outside the tent, surrounding the several large carriages they brought.

As soon as Xiao Fan got out of the tent, Ji Gang stepped forward and respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Sir."

Xiao Fan waved his hand and said lightly: "Release the oil cloth on the carriage!"

"yes!"

There was a clattering sound, the oil cloth was lifted, and a large black sunken wood box was piled up on the carriage.

Tuoluhuchal and the Mongolian cavalry behind him opened their eyes wide, staring at the box intently, with a little excited expression.

Xiao Fan looked at Tuoluhuchal's expression coldly, then waved his hand: "Open a box!"

Ji Gang pulled out the knife and inserted it into the box's nose with great accuracy. He shook and lifted it. The heavy box lid opened, and a whole box of yellow gold appeared in front of everyone. Although it was broad daylight, the box of gold still emitted thousands of golden lights, which made people's eyes hurt.

Tuoluhuchaer and the Mongolian cavalry behind him all widened their eyes and gasped.

"Push it!" Xiao Fan said loudly.

As soon as Ji Gang exerted his strength, the whole box of gold whistled, pouring on the grass in the blink of an eye, filling the ground.

"Sir Tongzhi, do you think these things are cute?" Xiao Fan looked at Tuoluhuchaer with a slanted eye.

"This..." Tuoluhuchal's face kept twitching.

Xiao Fan shouted: "Open again!"

Ji Gang followed the previous action, opened the box lid, and pushed it hard, and another box of gold poured on the ground. The green grass suddenly turned into a small mountain of gold.

Tuoluhuchaer began to tremble slightly, and the Mongolian soldiers behind him were even more green and faint, and saliva was almost flowing down.

"It seems that Lord Tongzhi still can't make up his mind..." Xiao Fan sneered, then turned around and shouted to Ji Gang: "Open again!"

Hurry!

Another box of gold poured out.

"Sir Tongzhi, can these things buy your loyalty to the son of today?" Xiao Fan asked coldly.

Tuoluhuchaer pursed his lips tightly, and did not speak for a long time. Beads of sweat as big as beans appeared on his forehead, indicating that he was struggling strongly inside.

"The gold on these carriages is 20,000 taels. As far as I know, the 10,000 taels of gold that the King of Yan promised you can't get out yet, right? I am a real real gold. Which is better, the court or the vassal king, and you can see the best. There is a very old saying by the Han people, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Smart people will not stand in the wrong team. Do you agree?" Xiao Fan smiled slightly, and his white teeth reflected a golden light under the sunlight and gold. They were rich and noble, but evil.

Tuoluhuchal's breathing began to become rapid.

The three guards of Duoyan were originally similar to a form of mercenary, because they were from commanding Tongzhi to every soldier below were profit-seeking people. In the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and Lan Yu to lead an army of 200,000 to mongols. The army detoured through Qingzhou and forced Nahachu to surrender. The three guards of Duoyan lost their geographical barrier and had to surrender to the Ming court. The Mongolians could not tolerate them, and the Ming court never regarded them as their own people. The three guards of Duoyan have been in a very embarrassing situation for the past ten years. The Mongolians have always been rebellious. Since both ends make them feel insecure, then believe in something practical.

What else is there to believe in this world besides gold, silver and food?

Now, Xiao Fan, the high-ranking official of the Ming court, was pouring boxes of things that made them almost crazy on the ground. The tempting light and crisp collision kept impacting the vision and hearing of Tuoluhuchaer and the Mongolian soldiers behind him.

Everyone's heart was beating violently.

With so much gold, how much can each person share? How much food and war horses can they exchange for? How many brothel women can they play in Han people's towns...

Xiao Fan took everyone's expression into his eyes. When everyone's eyes focused on the piles of gold mountains on the grass, Xiao Fan slowly threw out a killer move.

"Sir Tongzhi, if you are not satisfied with the gold, I have another great gift here..."

Tuoluhuchaer was stunned, then came to his senses and stuttered, "What other great gifts are there?"

Xiao Fan took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms and handed it to Tuoluhuchaer, and smiled and said, "This is the imperial edict issued by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the three guards of Duoyan. The leaders of the three guards of Duoyan each gave the position of governor. After borrowing the army, if your subordinates make achievements, they will grant you the Daning Guard to you after the work is completed, and you will allow each of them to take charge of their own troops to maintain animal husbandry and open the Kaiyuan. The two places of Guangning are cities, allowing Han and Meng to be free to communicate with each other. Is this gift a heavy? Are you still satisfied?"

Tuoluhuchaer opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time, but his eyes were filled with extreme surprise.

Xiao Fan shook his sleeves and shouted: "Tuluhuchaer, what are you still hesitating about? Can the King of Yan give you what the emperor gave you? Can King Ning give you? The emperor gives you so much, can't he get the loyalty of the three guards of Duoyan to the emperor?"

Tuoluhuchaer was frightened by Xiao Fan's loud shout, so he led the leader to kneel down to Xiao Fan without hesitation. When the Mongolian cavalry behind him saw that the leader had knelt, they also knelt down, and the grass was suddenly dark and the ground was covered with kneeling.

"My de Lu Huchaer, represents that the three guards of Duoyan are willing to accept the favor of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. We are willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and be the most loyal hawk in front of His Majesty. I swear to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Emperor in the name of the God of the Heaven of the Heavens, and will never betray them!"

Xiao Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

The three guards of Duoyan were finally conquered for the time being!

Fame and fortune are all needed by the world, both Han and Mongolian.

With this powerful force behind Peiping, if Zhu Di raises an army and rebels, he may have a decisive defeat.

The victory and defeat between the court and the vassal kings finally gradually leaned towards the court before the war began.

With Xiao Fan gently fiddling, the wheel of history changed its direction and headed towards an unpredictable future.

Tuoluhuchaer stood up, looked at Xiao Fan who was smiling, and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Mr. Xiao, please forgive me for being rude. Although the emperor has issued an order to me, how can I believe that the court will fulfill its promise in the future?"

Xiao Fan was very happy. He laughed at him and said, "That's too simple, Ji Gang, come here."

Ji Gang jumped out of the carriage and walked to Xiao Fan's side.

Xiao Fan pulled Ji Gang and pointed at him and said to Tuoluhuchaer: "This hero is named Ji Gang, who is the second best martial arts master in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor has high hopes for him and is very favored. In the future, he is just around the corner..."

Ji Gang was surprised and happy when he heard Xiao Fan praise him like this, so he tried hard to straighten his chest and showed a mighty look.

Tuoluhuchaer wondered, "So what?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Do you think that Kong Wu is powerful and mighty?"

"…Mr. Ji is a true hero."

Xiao Fan blinked and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that the court will not be able to fulfill its promise?"

"right."

Xiao Fan laughed and suddenly pushed Ji Gang from behind, pushing him hard in front of Tuoluhuchaer, and smiled generously: "I will bet him with you. If you find that the court does not keep its word, you will cut him with one knife. Are you relieved, right?"
