Chapter 34: Negotiation in the Chamber of Secrets
Zuo Qing stopped in front of Tong Pang and Lei Ban and said loudly to them, "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's take advantage of the fact that we are all here today and discuss some things first to avoid making mistakes later.
If you mess up things, you will end up with nothing."
I looked at the expression on Zuo Qing's face and saw that he refused to sit down no matter what.
Tong Pang and Lei Ban knew that they couldn't be nice today, so they sat on the chairs and returned to their relaxed posture.
"City Lord Li, since Mr. Zuo wants to discuss important matters, you will definitely be indispensable." In addition, Tong Pang still brought in Zhennan City Lord Li Tianxing.
Now, the people with the highest official positions in Zhenna City were all gathered together.
Judging from Li Tianxing's appearance, he was very reluctant to participate in such a thing, but he couldn't help himself.
But at this time, the banquet has already progressed, and the things discussed below are indeed more important than before.
Therefore, at the insistence of Tong Pang and others, Li Tianxing found a place for these people to talk and went to the backyard to have a secret conversation.
Wu Feng saw Tong Pang and the others walking away, and said hello to the people around him before leaving.
Wu Feng walked to a corner and saw no one was around, so he softly chanted a spell.
This is a small spell that Wu Feng received when he obtained Mu De Sword Light.
Wu Feng originally thought that this spell was useless, but who would have thought that it would come in handy today.
It seems that there are no bad spells in this world, only the right time to use them.
After reciting the incantation, a green light flashed across Wu Feng's body and turned into a vine, all green, falling into the grass.
This rattan was covered in green among the grass, so it couldn't be seen clearly. It twisted and came to the backyard.
The secret room where Tong Pang and others discussed matters was in the backyard. It didn't take much effort to find it, because Tong Pang and the others were the only ones in the backyard. Soon Wu Feng came to the window.
But it was impossible to go in like this, but Wu Feng took a closer look and found a big tree with green leaves in front of the window.
Wu Feng's figure twisted into a green rattan and soon reached the tree, and then even a branch came to the window.
Wu Feng very carefully sprayed out a little juice, corroding the window with a little bit of salt.
Then through this small eye, everything in the room fell into Wu Feng's eyes.
Several people in the room never dreamed that someone in this world could transform into a ivy and climb to the window to eavesdrop.
They just thought that there were people around here and no one would come in, so it was a particularly safe place.
Moreover, before they came in, they all left the people around them outside to monitor each other.
Not to mention people from outside coming in, even the people around them, no one can come in at this time.
"Okay, Master Tong, there are only a few of us here now. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."
Lei Ban said to Tong Pang with an impatient look. He was more disgusted with Tong Pang than he was with Zuo Qing.
Because although Zuo Qing competed with him for power, their responsibilities were different, and this was a border town, so Ray-Ban still had more or less power.
Environmental advantages.
Generally speaking, he can enjoy the pleasure of fighting against Zuo Qing, and always has a slight upper hand, which can give him a sense of accomplishment.
But this guy Tong Fat is really annoying. First of all, in terms of his methods of doing things, he is very insidious. Unlike Zuo Qing, whatever moves he has with each other are used openly.
Moreover, since Tong Pang was born in the royal court, he naturally had a trusting relationship with King Li that was unparalleled by others.
Sometimes, one has to doubt that Li Wang’s ears are just a little soft, which may cause very big losses to Ray-Ban.
And this Ray-Ban, he also hates this fat boy very much. This person is very greedy, he wants to sing in everything, and he wants all kinds of rights.
After all, like Lei Peng's military command, even if Zuo Qing were better than him, it would be impossible to get it, because there are differences between civil and military forces.
But Tong Pang who came out of the inner court could get involved in military command.
Not to mention the current Li King, even in the history of Li Kingdom, such a situation has never happened before.
That is, the imperial court official, after overthrowing the military commander who was in charge of a local area, directly took over the military command, was responsible for external development operations, and directly took the position of military commander.
And often because internal officers serve as military commanders, no one interferes. As long as they have a little ability, they will do better than normal military commanders.
Of course, there are not many such things. If there are too many, the entire military attache group will definitely have a serious backlash, which King Li does not want to see.
But if an individual situation like this occurs, King Li will still support it. This is also a blow to the military attache group.
Not to mention the group of noble relatives who sided with King Li. They had lost their military command rights for a long time.
However, because the Guiqi Group has been in decline for a long time, the vacancies in the military have been taken over by families such as Ray-Ban and other general families. Even if the Guiqi Group holds some positions, they are all insignificant and empty duties.
This makes the Guiqi Group take the initiative to get close to internal officials in an attempt to obtain some real positions of power through them.
There are some factors like this, so Ray-Ban is naturally cautious about this fat kid, not daring to ignore him, for fear that if he is not careful, he will be plotted.
"Yes, Mr. Tong, you are so mysterious. If you have anything to say, just say it and don't waste everyone's time."
Zuo Qing's complexion was not very good-looking either, but he was not as afraid of Tong Pang as Lei Pen was, because in the eyes of civil servants, an internal official like Tong Pang was just a domestic slave of King Li, nothing more than a dog.
This common perception among the civil service group towards internal officials was of course also transmitted to Zuo Qing.
So although he also hates this fat kid, he is not as powerful as Ray-Ban.
As for Li Tianxing, he didn't say anything, but from the look on his face, he hoped that Tong Pang would tell him quickly what was going on. With such a secret gathering, Li Tianxing was really frightened, for fear of being punished.
He offended King Li and got into trouble.
This is the tragedy of being a branch of the royal family. You must always pay attention to your words and deeds. When dealing with anyone, you must always be vigilant and not be too close to attract the attention of King Li.
"
Do you think I brought you here just to chat casually? Of course I have something very important, do you know..."
Tong Pang's face became solemn, and then he continued, "Don't be ignorant. In order not to miss the king's important event, I reluctantly told you."
"Did you know that many sects from the interior moved here?" Tong Pang said.
"It's not nonsense. Just outside at the banquet hosted by City Lord Li, there are many sect leaders who have moved here, and more sect leaders will move here later."
Lei Ban sneered and said disdainfully, this is not news that no one knows.
"I also know that all these relocated sects have been resettled in the Shanhai area." He continued to slap Tong Pang in the face.
Zuo Qing also said disdainfully, "Who doesn't know this? I also know that they are all arranged in the Shanhai area because there is no other place to place them except here."
"Exactly as Master Zuo said, we arranged these sects in the Mountain and Sea Region, not because we don't want to arrange them in other places, but because over the years, we have only acquired the Mountain and Sea Region, and even the Mountain and Sea Region
It’s not particularly stable, which is why we in Zhennancheng didn’t do a good enough job.”
After hearing this, everyone finally found it interesting.
"What does Master Tong mean...?
Not only did Lei Pen become more serious, but Zuo Qing, who had always been disdainful of Tong Fat, also asked aloud, "Does Master Tong have some instructions from the king?"
After all, the relationship between this official and the king is different. Maybe there is some information that no one knows, and we can learn it from Tong Fat.
"Then let me explain it clearly to everyone. The purpose of King Li forcibly moving these sects here this time is to forcibly open up the Southern Wilderness."
Tong Pang particularly emphasized the four words "forced development". After finishing speaking, he glanced at the people present and said, "Now everyone should know what I mean, right?"
The expressions on the faces of Lei Ban, Zuo Qing and others showed that they now understood.
King Li moved the major sects this time in order to prepare for another war in the south.
It's just that this war was not led by the Li Kingdom's army, so it was people from these sects who took the lead.
"What the king means is that these sects must fight against the people of the Southern Wilderness to lose both sides, and they must not be allowed to gain too much benefit in the process of expanding to the south. Otherwise, the king's plan will be ruined."
Very disadvantageous.”
This means that King Li hopes that the major sects can help the country of Li and bring the Southern Wilderness into his arms, but he does not want them to gain too much benefit in the process. Instead, he hopes that they will win in the battle with the barbarians in the south.
If both parties suffer a loss, it is best if both parties suffer losses and no one can take advantage of it.
This requires the horse to run but also the horse not to eat grass!
Ray-Ban and others all understood it, but understanding it is one thing, but how to do it is another matter.
Lei Ban shook his head and said, "This is indeed not easy to handle. I can only say that we should try not to give them too many material things, but if we say that we have to do it according to the king's requirements, it is really difficult to handle."
Zuo Qing also nodded at the side, "Master Lei is saying that this matter is not easy to handle."
