It seemed that Gongsun Yan's few words of criticism about Sang and Huai made Gongsun Jing realize that the niece in front of him was not the people who had obeyed him in the past because of his status and the power of Gongsun family.
Gongsun Jing rearranged the folds of his clothes, felt lucky for the first time, and knelt down solemnly again.
"Ayan already has a conclusion in her mind, so she might as well say it first."
Gongsun Yan, who also returned to the desk, took a sip of the already lukewarm tea soup, taking the opportunity to rethink the chips she wanted to get.
No one in the hall urged me, and the hall was silent for a while.
The matter of interception and killing can only add another layer of moral aggravation, and it is unlikely that we can actually ask for anything based on this matter.
Judging from the results, this interception did not cause any real harm to the siblings. For a biased old man, it was enough reason to forgive his eldest son.
Besides...
Gongsun Yan raised his head and glanced at the people across from him. Moreover, in their hearts, they might not think that the death of their siblings in the military disaster was a happy event for everyone.
The death of Gongsun Yan's sister and brother is in the best interest of the people on the other side. I'm afraid they won't be angry at Gongsun Jing for being cruel and ruthless, but regret that things didn't work out.
Even Gongsun Jing, who had shown some care before, was just happy that his heir's bloodline would continue, rather than showing much care for Gongsun Yan's siblings themselves.
Therefore, the interception and killing by barbarians did not play a big role in the negotiations.
The focus is still on the Lingzhi Treasury that was moved away by Gongsun Jing.
What can 700,000 stones of grain be exchanged for above the bottom line of the Gongsun family, and it cannot touch the sensitive core interests.
Even though she had been tough before, Gongsun Yan knew that she was still in an absolutely weak position. All she relied on was that Gongsun Jing didn't want to see flesh and blood killing each other, and he didn't want to completely tear her face apart.
In fact, Gongsun Yan did not dare to push too hard.
Even if she relies on Zhao Yun and Zhang Ze to control everyone in the court by force, the Gongsun family has been in power for many years, and it is not like she can rebel and seize power with the few people she has.
Even if she got it for a short time, she would never be able to eat it.
Moreover, even if she doesn't identify much with the Gongsun family, she is still Gongsun Yan in the eyes of the world.
The reputation of disobeying one's elders is really shocking. In the Han Dynasty, where honor and filial piety were valued, doing so was asking for death, and betrayal and separation were just around the corner.
Therefore, she must not push too hard and really break up with the Gongsun family. If Gongsun Jing is forced to think too hard and mobilize the soldiers from the city to surround and kill them, will she be able to break out and wander around again?
Gongsun Yan saw Gongsun Jing's concession from his previous tough test.
In this case, it should be restrained in time.
What she needs at this time is time and space for stable development.
Gongsun Yan swallowed the tea soup that had a pungent onion smell after cooling, and gently placed the branch-textured vermilion lacquer bowl in his hand back on the desk.
"I don't ask for much, just the following items."
After finally hearing what she said, everyone looked like they were listening. Gongsun Jing straightened up slightly, and even Gongsun Xuan, who had always had a straight face, looked over.
"First, the incident of Aduna going south to intercept and kill, how the news of my survival and that of Acheng was leaked, how he went south secretly, how the thousand-man cavalry army hid it from everyone, and how to deal with the relevant personnel involved in the incident. I hope my uncle can deal with it seriously.
There is no other example."
Gongsun Jing pondered for a moment, but before he could answer, he heard Gongsun Jing promise: "Yes!"
Like many parents of naughty children, even though Gongsun Jing had committed heinous acts, Gongsun Jing did not blame the naughty child himself, but the people around him.
Gongsun Jing glanced at his eldest son for a while, and he blamed the aides and disciples around him who were instigating him.
"No." Gongsun Jing did not hesitate for too long.
It is true that Aduna was not the instigator of the interception and assassination in the south, but his subordinates and aides deduced his thoughts, and took action on their own because they were resentful because they had been humiliated by his concubine Gongsun Zan.
Even if he knew this and sat back and watched, he could not be considered the culprit!
After comforting himself, Gongsun Jing looked a little more relaxed. He recalled the names, appearances, qualifications and subordinates of the officials in the prefecture, and screened out those who were not pleasing to the eye and who were not reused.
"This matter needs to be bothered by the master of the family to supervise from the side." Tian Kai, who was on the side, knew without looking at what shameless things this shameless person would do. He added from the side to make up for Gongsun Yan's lack of thoughtfulness, "
The evil thieves who cause unrest in the house and cause fratricide to each other must be severely punished. Don't let these people with ulterior motives go away, but they will implicate innocent people and drive people apart."
"It is so!" On this point, Gongsun Jing agreed with Tian Kai, and he also planned to use this matter to sort out the people around his eldest son.
He is getting older and has been feeling more and more lack of energy recently. When he still has some energy left, he should eliminate the hidden dangers in the family instead of letting the eldest son muddle through by catching some scapegoats.
Hearing Tian Kai's addition, Gongsun Yan realized that with her uncle's character, without Gongsun Jing taking action personally, he was afraid that some innocent people would be captured to take the blame for his death.
"Then Mr. Lao will have to worry about this!" Gongsun Yan also thanked him promptly.
"Yes." Gongsun Jing responded without saying a word. He only raised his chin and signaled Gongsun Yan to continue. He also wanted to hear what kind of compensation this granddaughter wanted.
"The second thing is that I hope that my uncle will go to Xudu and ask the emperor to order Yuan Shao to return the bodies of my father, brother, mother and sister, and return them to my hometown for burial."
Yuan Shao listened to the advice of his counselor Jushu and offered the heads of Gongsun Zan and his family to Xudu. If Gongsun Jing, the governor of western Liaoning, comes to ask for it at this time, he should be able to welcome him back to western Liaoning.
As for Gongsun Zan's title of Marquis Ji, Gongsun Yan did not mention it.
At this time, Yuan Shao was so powerful that no one could have imagined that Cao Cao would be the one who had the last laugh in unifying the north. At this moment, the Gongsun family would not easily take sides, and would clearly ask for the title of Acheng from the Cao family of Xudu.
However, the fact that the Gongsun family does not ask for it does not mean that Cao Cao does not give it. If he has the opportunity to win over the Gongsun family in western Liaoning and plant a nail in the north, I think Cao Cao will not mind.
But Gongsun Yan didn't have much confidence, so he simply didn't mention it to avoid causing trouble.
Gongsun Yan's request for the return of the bones of his father, brother, mother and sister is not excessive, and is even quite reasonable. It is just a matter of a written statement. Gongsun Jing has no objection to it. As for whether he can get the bones returned after the written statement is made, that has nothing to do with him.
.
Gongsun Jing quickly nodded in agreement to the second condition put forward by Gongsun Yan.
"Next, it's the third point." Gongsun Yan paused and noticed that Gongsun Jing was leaning forward to listen. She slowly said, "Uncle, does he know what the price of food is now?"
Gongsun Jing did not answer. There was a severe drought two years ago. Now one stone and rice costs nearly five thousand yuan, and there is nowhere to buy it.
He knew in his heart that if he answered, Gongsun Yan would have something more to say waiting for him.
Seeing that he avoided answering, Gongsun Yan continued on his own: "Does uncle know how much it cost for Cao Song to become a Taiwei, one of the three princes of the imperial court, in the fourth year of Zhongping?"
