"Report to the emperor, that's exactly that!" Wu Chaoyue nodded vigorously and said with a striking remark: "The emperor doesn't know anything. Foreigners have a bad habit. Before negotiation, they must try every means to spy on understanding the conditions and limits of the negotiating opponents, grasp the greatest room for concessions for the negotiating opponents, and then force the opponents to make the greatest concessions at the negotiating table to get the greatest benefits!"

Noting that the civil and military officials next to him did not seem to know his explanation very well, Wu Chaoyue said again: "Your Majesty, for example, if an unethical profiteer goes to the tea mountain to buy tea, he will definitely try his best to figure out the minimum selling price of the tea farmer, and then try to minimize the price in bargaining, so that the tea farmer can sell the tea to him at the lowest price. And if the tea farmer on this tea mountain just happens to be in urgent need of money, or the tea farmer has too much tea stock, it will not be sold out for a while, and it will be moldy when it is left. Then this unethical profiteer will definitely take advantage of the situation and force the tea farmer to sell the tea to him at a lower price, so that the tea farmer will lose all his money and work hard all year round, but the unethical profiteer takes the opportunity to make huge profits."

"Your Majesty, please give another example of facts." Wu Chaoyue said casually: "During the Hundred Years of War between the British and French, the French were almost destroyed by the British, but suddenly a foreign woman named Joan of Arc appeared in France. She was even more powerful than Mu Guiying in the war. She defeated the British one after another and almost recovered the entire territory of France. However, once she was accidentally arrested by the Burgundians, the largest rioter in France, just like the Burgundians who were like our Qing Dynasty's long-haired bandits. Both Britain and France asked the Burgundians to negotiate with the Burgundians. As a result, the British sent spies to find out the French's negotiation bottom limit, offered a higher price to buy Joan of Arc, and tied the French Mu Guiying to a wooden stand and burned to death!"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Emperor Xianfeng asked in surprise, and the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty next to him also whispered, and some of them had really heard of the name Joan of Arc. Wu Chaoyue did not even blink and immediately replied: "Report to the emperor, it's true! But the French later avenged this arrow. The French long-haired bandit Burgundy had a conflict with the British because of some trivial matters and renegotiated and formed an alliance. The French spies spyed the British's negotiation bottom line, and then the French King offered a higher price to recruit Burgundy. The Burgundy suddenly stabbed the British in the back. The French foreigners took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and drove the British foreigners back to the island. The British also lost hundreds of vast lands as big as Hong Kong, and there was no more foothold on the Roba Continent in Europe."

"It's worth it! I deserve it!" Emperor Xianfeng nodded with gloating Dali, and said with contempt: "Foreigners are not polite and righteous, and are used to using these despicable means. They are really no different from our unethical and unruly businessmen in the Qing Dynasty!"

"Mr. Song is very much like a spy who is an unethical profiteer, and more like a spy who spys the bottom line of the Qing Dynasty for foreigners!"

Wu Chaoyue pointed to Song Jin, who was already in extreme misfortune, and said more remarkably: "The emperor's kindness asked Caomin's grandfather to assist the imperial envoy in negotiating with foreigners. However, Song made up reasons to meet Caomin and deliberately wanted to get Caomin drunk. While talking to Caomin, he kept asking Caomin about the secrets of the court negotiations between Caomin's grandfather and foreigners. Given the despicable methods of foreigners, Caomin suspected that he was collecting intelligence for foreigners and wanted to help foreigners understand the conditions and limits of concessions for our Qing court to foreigners! Help the foreigners force our Qing court to pay more money! Open more ports!"

"It's unfair!" Song Jin was so desolate that he kowtowed desperately, "Your Majesty, it's unfair. Wu Chaoyue is slandering people! The criminal just wanted to test whether he and Wu Jianzhang had secretly colluded with foreigners, not spying on the court secrets for foreigners!"

"Mr. Song, are you an official of the Three Laws, or the emperor's special envoy?" Wu Chaoyue asked sternly: "As an editor of the Hanlin Academy, you don't want to cultivate yourself, govern the country and pacify the world, don't study the classics, history, and collections, and what are you doing when you interfere with my grandfather's negotiations with foreigners?"

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue quickly turned to Emperor Xianfeng and bowed and said, "Emperor, there was Caomin's servant Wu Dasai present at that time. He could prove that Lord Song not only repeatedly poured wine to Caomin, but also kept asking about the matter of drafting the people's grandfather's negotiations with foreigners, either asking about compensation or opening Hong Kong. He even deliberately mentioned that the foreigners wanted to station troops in Tianjin! Long live the clarification, should Caomin suspect that Lord Song was spying on the secret matters of the Qing court for the foreigners?!"

Emperor Xianfeng's face turned pale, and his eyes looked at Song Jin were full of murderous intent. Song Jin was sweating like a slurry, kowtowing like a chicken pecking at rice. He cried out on the spot and cried, "Your Majesty, it's wrong! It's wrong! The guilty minister mentioned the negotiations between Wu Jianzhang and foreigners, but the guilty minister was really not spying on the secrets of the court for foreigners! I can swear to the heaven!"

As he cried, Song Jin fainted directly. When the murderous aura on Emperor Xianfeng's face became more powerful, a young official with a somewhat similar appearance to Xianfeng suddenly stepped out and said, "Wait! Wu Chaoyue, I ask you, since you suspect that Song Jin was spying on the secrets of the Qing Dynasty for foreigners, why did you forge letters from foreigners, pretend that it was the secret letters from French minister Bourbron to your grandfather, and lure Song Jin to steal them? How can this test that Song Jin was spying on the secrets of foreigners? If Song Jin was a spy from foreigners, why did he steal letters from foreigners to your grandfather? Isn't this a contradiction?"

"This prince, the answer is very simple. The grass people don't have the courage to forge the court's official documents." Wu Chaoyue bowed and replied: "The grass people also know that if they want to test whether Song and Jin are foreign spies, the best way is to forge a document about the negotiations between the court and foreigners, and deceive him to steal or peek. But how important is the court's official documents? Prince, you even borrow the grass people's courage, and the grass people dare not forge a word or a half sentence. Therefore, the grass people have no choice but to forge a secret letter from the foreigner to my grandfather to test whether Song and Jin are foreign spies!"

"How to test it?" the young prince said in confusion: "If Song Jin was really a foreign spy, he would definitely not block the foreigners from secretly contacting your grandfather. Why did he steal letters from foreigners to your grandfather?"

"The prince doesn't know anything, and the foreigners' hearts are not in harmony." Wu Chaoyue said in a more striking tone, and said in a tone of teaching: "Especially Britain and France, they have a hundred years of enemies. They occasionally have to make ends meet because of profit, but more often they are hindering each other. This time they come together in groups, and they must beware of each other's secret contact with our Qing court, and rely on betraying other foreign countries to make more benefits for their own country."

"So Caomin predicted that if Song Jin was really a foreign spy, then he would be interested in the secret letter from French minister Boulbron to my grandfather, and would try every means to steal or peek at the contents of it, so that the foreign master behind him knew whether Boulbron had betrayed other foreign countries and traded privately with our Qing court alone. As Caomin expected, Lord Song still stole the letter."

The young prince was very quick-witted and said after a moment of calculation: "Okay, even if you are right, have you ever thought about it? If Song and Jin were spies sent by the French, why would he steal the letter from the French minister Bourbron to your grandfather?"

"this……."

Wu Chaoyue was stunned and then realized that there was such a contradiction, but it didn't matter. As his thoughts quickly turned, Wu Chaoyue simply confessed and bowed to Emperor Xianfeng and said, "The emperor forgives the crime. Cao people are not knowledgeable and have no consideration. At that time, he was filled with a lot of wine by Lord Song. He was dizzy and confused for a moment and did not consider this. He forgot that if Lord Song was a spy from a French foreigner, he would not have been able to steal the so-called French minister's letter. Cao Min didn't expect this at that time, and he deserved to die. He asked the emperor to punish Cao people for misconduct."

Wu Chaoyue admitted so simply that the young prince did not continue to ask questions - after all, he was just talking about the matter, not deliberately trying to mess with Wu Chaoyue. But Mu Yin next to him refused to let go and shouted: "Wu Chaoyue, don't be quibbling, why don't you think well? In my opinion, you are obviously deliberately setting up a trap to frame Song and Jin!"

Mu Yin opened this mouth, and Senggelinqin, Linkui and some civil and military officials who disliked the Wu family's grandparents and grandsons also agreed, all accusing Wu Chaoyue of doing this to deliberately frame Song and Jin. Wu Chaoyue heard this and shouted for justice, "My dear Lords, the conscience of heaven and earth. Caomin and Lord Song have no grudges before and after, why do they deliberately frame him? Besides, Caomin, a commoner, what qualifications and ability do they have to frame Lord Song?"

"Enough, stop me."

Emperor Xianfeng finally spoke and waved his hand and said, "My dear friends, don't make things difficult for Wu Chaoyue anymore. Although it is a bit inappropriate for his actions, it is because Song and Jin are indiscriminate, and it is also because he is loyal to the Qing court! In view of his always caring about the Qing Dynasty, I will not pursue his reckless actions this time."

"As for Song Jin, no matter whether he is a foreign spy or not, just by spying on the secrets of the court alone, it is enough to kill him a thousand times! The person who came, took Song Jin and Weng Tongshu out and handed over to the Three Jurisprudences to the serious crime! We will also check carefully for me whether they were secretly contacting foreigners!"

"Thank you, the emperor, the emperor's kindness, and the people will never forget it! The people will always remember the emperor's kindness in the future, always take the Qing Dynasty as the country and the country as their wishes, and swear to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the court, and the emperor's loyalty!"

Hearing Emperor Xianfeng's words, Wu Chaoyue was of course flattering and talking incessantly. Mu Yin, Senggelinqin and others also kowtowed to the commander's orders in depressedness, but the guards there were no politeness and immediately dragged Weng Tongshu, who was desperately kowtowed and begging for mercy, down the Golden Palace, and carried Song Jin, who had already fainted. Then it was also at this time that Emperor Xianfeng smiled and said, "Wu Aiqing, let's be calm, and Wu Chaoyue, you should be calm too."

Wu Jianzhang, who had long been kneeling and lost consciousness, kowtowed and thanked him. He struggled to stand up at all. Wu Chaoyue quickly went to support him and whispered to ask about Wu Jianzhang's situation. Wu Jianzhang nodded and patted his grandson's head with admiration. The family affection of his grandson was harmonious.

At this time, Emperor Xianfeng spoke again and said, "Okay, now that it has been proved that Wu Aiqing did not secretly collude with foreigners, then quickly agree on the imperial envoy who negotiated with foreigners, and then set out to Dagukou to negotiate with foreigners tomorrow! My dear friends, who would you be willing to take on this responsibility?"

The Golden Palace fell into silence again, and no one stood up for a long time to come and voluntarily. Seeing this scene, Emperor Xianfeng couldn't help but lose his temper and said angrily: "Are none of you willing to share my worries?"

"I'm waiting for death."

In addition to the grandparents and grandsons of the Wu family, all the civil and military officials knelt down together to claim their crimes. Wu Jianzhang also quickly pulled Wu Chaoyue down. Wu Chaoyue was full of anger, but he did not dare to have an attack. He just secretly hoped that Emperor Xianfeng would quickly designate an unlucky guy so that he would not kneel down his legs again.

Fortunately, the will of heaven was fulfilling, and the furious Emperor Xianfeng quickly appointed this unlucky guy - pointed to the young prince who had just made things difficult for Wu Chaoyue and shouted: "Yixin, you are my sixth brother, it is related to the Qing Dynasty. You should not let it go! You are the only one, take Wu Aiqing to Dagukou to negotiate with the foreigners!"

When Wu Chaoyue heard this, he was amused and said to himself: "Okay! It turns out that you are the Japanese Lie Yixin. You and I have to make things difficult for you. You deserve this big blame! No matter what the result is, you, the infamy of the Japanese Lie, will never be able to escape!"

Next, the change in the matter was beyond Wu Chaoyue's expectations. Although the Japanese Six kowtowed to receive the order with a frown, they said: "Your Majesty, I will do my best, but I still have a request. I hope the emperor will be able to accept it."

"Say!" Emperor Xianfeng shouted.

"I want to ask the emperor to send someone to be a translator for me and help me negotiate with foreigners." The Japanese Six replied respectfully.

"Is there any need to ask for an order? The general translator of the Lifan Academy, no matter who you want, I will send it to you!" Emperor Xianfeng shouted angrily.

"The emperor, the general translation of the Lifan Academy, is enough to send one or two to me." The Japanese kowtowed and said, "I want this general translation because it also involves the foreigners' bombardment of Dagukou this time. It should be avoided. However, I think this person is outstanding in talent, smart, eloquent, and can be a 100,000 soldiers with a sharp word. Therefore, I dared to ask the emperor to give me a special order to be a general translation for it and help me negotiate with foreigners."

Before the Japanese Lion could finish their words, the eyes of Emperor Xianfeng and the civil and military officials of the court had already focused on Wu Chaoyue's thin and ugly face. Wu Chaoyue's thin face began to turn a little white, and he thought to himself: "It's not me, right? My current cheap grandfather's comprador is a comprador, and at least he was used as an interpreter for Lin Zexu and participated in the Humen cigarette removal, which was somewhat glorious. This Japanese Lion sold more than one million square kilometers of super sellers to the Russians, and was used as an interpreter to help him sell his country. In the future, my name will not be stinking against the wind?"
