Chapter 961

"Uncle, Mr. Dou, please come to the garden for tea!"

Pei Meng asked with a straight face: "it's so hot. Why go to the garden for tea? Does the mother mean to be difficult? "

Ah Qing is neither humble nor arrogant, and says in a soft voice, "uncle has misunderstood me. The garden is very cool with running water. It is in view of the hot weather that we invite you to tea in the garden

Mr. Dou quickly stood out and said, "uncle, why bother a maid of honor. If you're welcome, you'd better obey your orders. Lead the way ahead. "

"This way, gentlemen."

Ah Qing leads the way and leads them to the back garden.

Small bridges and flowing water are characteristic of Jiangnan.

The stream is gurgling and cool as expected.

In the pavilion, tea and refreshments have been arranged, waiting for guests to take their seats.

"When will your mother come?" Mr. Dou asked politely.

A fine soft voice said: "wait a moment, my mother will come soon, you two, please have tea."

The palace people retreated, leaving two people waiting.

Pei Meng holding a teacup, very dissatisfied, "what tricks is the queen Gu playing?"

Mr. Dou shook his head. "Don't worry, uncle. The tea is very good. The tea house in the south must be a first-class one to produce such good tea. "

Pei Meng didn't want to drink tea. He counted the time secretly.

After waiting for half an hour, Gu Jiucai arrived late.

Pei Meng was very angry in his heart, but he could not break out. He could only have a gloomy face.

Gu Jiu apologized: "let uncle, Mr. Dou wait a long time. The palace is busy temporarily, and the matter is urgent, so it is late. Somebody, change a pot of tea for uncle and Mr. Dou. How can these palace people learn the rules? They don't know how to serve them closely. "

"Tea is fine. After drinking a lot of tea, I can't drink any more. " Mr. Dou had a bitter smile on his face, covered his stomach, and looked like he had drunk too much.

"Does it matter, sir? The palace ordered people to take him down to have a rest. Please ask the grand doctor for diagnosis and treatment. "

"Thank you very much. I can still hold on. "

"Not grudgingly?" Gu Jiu asks anxiously.

Mr. Dou nodded heavily, "not reluctantly."

Gu Jiu said, "if you feel unwell, you must say it. You are guests. If you have an accident in the villa, you should be held responsible. "

Pei Meng secretly raised his eyebrows. What does this mean?

The palace man changed a pot of tea and replaced the dim sum.

Gu Jiu picks up the cup and blows it gently.

She looked up with a smile and asked, "how are you thinking?"

"Is the imperial court willing to pay for grain and weapons to help the northwest army to fight in Xiliang?" Pei Meng asked bluntly.

Gu nine nods, "this palace speech and have letter."

"What will happen after the king is granted? As soon as the supplies are available, does the court... "

"After the king was granted, the northwest army had to spend money to buy materials, even a grain of rice, an inch of iron, and a piece of clothing from the imperial court. The palace has made it clear that, in name, your father and son are still the officials and sons of the Zhou Dynasty, and the northwest army is the northwest army of the Zhou Dynasty. As a matter of fact, you are ruling and self-governing. You are the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou will only support you verbally. Everything else depends on you. "

Gu Jiu emphasizes the relationship between the two sides, and then looks at Pei Meng with a smile.

Pei Meng frowned tightly, implying dissatisfaction.

Mr. Dou asked in a hurry: "if you need to pay for a material, I don't know the price?"

Gu Jiu raises eyebrows.

Xu Yousi hurried forward, took out a quotation sheet and put it on the table, "please have a look at Uncle Dou."

Mr. Dou secretly exchanged a look with Pei Meng, and even the quotation sheet was ready. It was premeditated.

"How could the price be so high?"

Not to mention, compared with the prices in the capital, the prices in the northwest are three times higher.

"It's hard to transport materials from Dazhou to Xiliang. It's hard, the cost of freight, and Dou's physiology should be clearer than this palace. Is the price really high? Compared with the price of the caravan in Xiliang, it is the conscience price of the jump sale. To tell you the truth, this palace is only because of the northwest army's opening up the territory for the great Zhou Dynasty that this kind of preferential treatment can be achieved. "

Pei Meng sneered inwardly and asked, "if one day, the northwest army will no longer open up territory for the great Zhou Dynasty, what does the empress intend to do?"

Gu Jiu put away the quotation sheet, "in business, everything to the interests of the most important."

The implication is that at what price it was sold to Xiliang at the beginning, it will be sold to the northwest army in the future.

Profiteer!

A good profiteer.

Pei Meng solemnly said: "the empress has no sincerity!"

Gu Jiu laughs, as if to hear the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist, she said meaningfully: "according to the court's will, your father and son will obey the court's arrangement, hand over the military power and kill him. Don't listen to the imperial court's order and kill it. Pei's whole family, kill it! This is also the end of the feudal lords of all dynasties. Today, the Pei clan is only one step away from the extinction of the clan.

This palace mediates in the middle, arranges for many years, finally finds a way for you Pei family, only makes a little profit, why, uncle is not happy? How about doing things according to the old tradition, with the name of throwing a cup, Jin Wuwei took the two men, sentenced them to justice, killed the Pei family, and forced the Duke of Lu to raise the flag to rebel in the northwest"Don't be angry Mr. Dou was so anxious that his saliva flew and his cold sweat came out. "Everything is easy to discuss."

Gu Jiu leaned back in his chair, smiling rather than laughing. "This is the sincerity of the palace to invite my uncle to the capital for an interview. At the same time, it also risks a lot. Because the courtiers will certainly object to your father and son taking the northwest army to break away from the Zhou Dynasty and seal up the king.

In order to persuade the courtiers to agree to provide money and food to support the plan, do you know how much compromise the palace has to make and how many interests should be given? There must be gains if you give. What is the profit of this palace in front of the overall situation? My uncle wants money but also power. If you are so greedy, you are not afraid that this palace will turn over? "

"My mother has misunderstood me. My uncle doesn't mean it! It's a matter of course that the mother needs a reward. The northwest army is very grateful to your mother

Mr. Dou is always a good speaker.

Gu Jiu does not move, she stares at Pei Meng.

They had been hanging for half an hour.

Mr. Dou drinks tea frequently.

Pei Meng's dagger sat motionless on the stone bench, seemingly furious, but actually patient.

Mr. Dou is just a pawn in front of him. Pei Meng is always the one who really makes decisions.

"What do you think of it? Do you want to continue talking about it?" Gu Jiu asked with a smile.

Pei Meng pick eyebrow, "if the minister is not willing to talk about it, does the empress want to throw a cup for the number, let Jin Wuwei arrest Minister? I dare to guess, Lu Hou house, Bo Fu outside, Jin Wuwei has been ambush for many days. Our mother left us both in the villa in order to cut off our contact with the outside world.

The first goal of Jin Wuwei is to provide 200 relatives and soldiers. If the minister is not in the Bo mansion, my 200 soldiers can only make a good stand and rush to kill at the risk of death. Thus, the fact of the northwest army's rebellion is confirmed. The imperial court can take the lead in sending troops and take the northwest army by surprise. "

Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa

Gu Jiu clapped his hands, "uncle, there is a reason for that. What's your plan to make a choice

Pei Meng laughed, "how sure is Jin Wuwei to save his wife from the minister's hand?"

Gu nine shallow smile, "uncle can try, you can take the life of this palace."

Pei Meng slightly narrowed his eyes, staring at the tea on the table, "toxic?"

Gu Jiu neither denied nor admitted.

Mr. Dou covered his stomach, a face of panic, "Niang poison?"

"Does it hurt?" Gu Jiu gently asked, "no pain, where is the poison?"

"No poison?" Mr. Dou's face was muddled. He and Pei Meng looked at each other.

"It's better to tell your mother what she's selling."

Gu Jiu picks eyebrow to smile, "this palace just wants to have a good conversation, does not sell off a trifle. Uncle, don't be nervous. I advise you not to take out the weapons in your arms, or all your previous efforts will turn into nothingness. "

Pei Meng's hands tightened. Finally, he loosened his fist and looked calm. "The minister can accept the advice of his wife. But it takes time to prepare for the northwest army's expedition to Xiliang. "

"This palace gives you one year to prepare for the northwest army."

"One year is too little, at least three years!"

Gu Jiu shook his head with a smile, "then there is no need to talk about it! Let's talk about who will lead the northwest army after killing your father and son. "

What a bully!

Pei Meng is gloomy a face, "Niang Niang really thinks can kill me?"

Gu nine glanced at him, "if uncle doesn't believe me, you can try it."

"Jokes, all jokes." Mr. Dou stopped Pei Meng and said, "madam, one year is really too little. The northwest army needs to prepare too much. At least two years. "

Gu Jiu gently tapped on the table, "one and a half years, this palace can only give the northwest army one and a half years at most."

"A year and a half, when it's time to open up, it's winter. March in winter, countless casualties. Does the empress intend to kill the northwest army Pei Meng sternly asked.

Gu Jiu picked up his eyebrows and sneered, "I believe that Lu Hou must have a way to solve this problem. You can also choose to advance. "

"Ridiculous!"

Gu Jiu turned the teacup. "Uncle's attitude is not the attitude of conversation."

"I only know that marching in winter is a taboo."

"Then take out the silver of your northwest army and build more fortresses and fortresses on the desert as transit stations. In any case, it will be useful for both sides to do business in the future. "

That's the idea.

Pei Meng said bluntly: "when the northwest army arrives in Xiliang, these fortresses will fall into the hands of the imperial court."

Gu Jiu asked with a smile: "uncle can't give up?"

Pei Meng wants to die of anger!

He suddenly found that empress Gu was really negotiating with them in the attitude of a businessman. He had to fight for every point and every cent, and he would not let go of any benefits.

Too much!

"I need a material list!"

"Yes!"

Pei Meng and Mr. Dou continued to live in the villa and began a long negotiation.Back in the guest house, Pei Meng hits the wall with a fist.

"Miscalculation! We urgently need a logistics officer to budget. "

Pei Meng knew that he was in the trap, but he had to jump down the pit.

If we don't talk about the quantity of the material list clearly now, in the future, empress Gu will have many ways to do things.

The northwest army will fall into a passive situation of being led by the imperial court.
