The first thousand and fifty-one chapters turn over
It is no exaggeration to say that Kong Fu's status now is lower than that of one person and higher than that of tens of thousands of people.
The Confucius Mansion also became bustling with people because of Kong Fu. People came to the door every day to establish relationships, and there were countless people who used the back door. When Hou Dexing came here, he saw just such a lively scene. .
"Hey." A sigh came from Hou Dexingde's mouth. When it fell into the eyes of Zhuang Cheng, the follower on the side, he asked curiously: "Master, why are you sighing?"
"Kong Fu is no longer what he used to be. It won't be easy to impress him with two million taels of silver and let him do things for us." Hou Dexing shook his head and said. A man of high status. When you get rich, your appetite will naturally increase. Looking at the current situation, it is still two million taels of silver, and he has no idea whether it can impress Kong Fu.
"Oh." Zhuang Cheng nodded as if he understood, and then said casually, "What are you afraid of? If you don't want the money, just take a knife. The richer a person is, the more he will cherish his life. Yes, our Xiongnu army has many soldiers and generals, but we can’t deal with even one of Qian’s ministers.”
What seemed like an unintentional sentence made Hou Dexing's eyes light up when he heard it. He nodded immediately and said: "That's right. If you don't want the money, then you can only think of another way. Haha. ,Let's go in."
With Hou Dexing's identity, he naturally did not need to wait at the concierge after handing in the invitation like others. He was invited in as soon as he showed his identity. Just entered the Kong Mansion. , the situation was different from before. In a side hall, he drank two cups of tea in a row, and the real owner had not yet appeared.
Hou Dexing's face became even more ugly. From this point of view alone, he could feel that Kong Fu's airs were indeed bigger than before, and it would be much more difficult to deal with him. point.
Kong Fu was indeed very arrogant, and of course he had to find the right person. The reason why he did not come out to meet Hou Dexing immediately was because he had other ideas, that is, he did not want to continue to cooperate with the Huns.
In the past, when I accepted money from the other party, I had no choice but to do so. First, if I did not agree to the other party's request, the other party could go to someone else.
Secondly, at that time, his status as master was unstable, and even Kong Fu could not see any hope. He also wanted to get some money to save his life in order to settle down in the future.
But now, Tang Jia has become the Emperor of Qiande, and he himself has become the emperor's most trusted person. It is not an exaggeration to say that he obeys his advice. Not to mention, the Huns are already planning to go north. As long as they can open the gates of Pingcheng They will walk north through the passage, getting farther and farther away from Daqianhui, and they are destined to become just passers-by in his life.
Even so, there is no need for him to make excuses with the other party here. After all, he is also a foreigner and has a very bad reputation among Daqian. It is better to have less contact with him.
After making up his mind, Kong Fu didn't show up at the first time. Instead, he waited for a long time and then slowly appeared in a brocade robe. As soon as he entered the side hall and saw Hou Dexing, he was still far away from him. He raised his hands and said, "Oh, Mr. Hou, I'm sorry, I'm really busy with official work, so I kept you waiting for a long time."
"Haha, Mr. Kong is indeed very busy now that he is in an important position." Hou Dexing stood up and said with a smile. Obviously, he was already a little angry after waiting for a while.
Kong Fu has followed Tang Jia since he was a child, and his ability to observe people's emotions is naturally first-class. Of course, he can see that Hou Dexing is angry. But he is not afraid. Again, with his high status now, he is no longer afraid of the other party. "Haha, sir, I don't know why I'm here this time."
Kong Fu smiled and sat down across from him. He was also very curious. Didn't the Xiongnu army safely pass outside Daliang City and reach Pingcheng? Then why are they coming to find him now? It can't be because of thinking. Do you want Da Qian to follow suit and send troops to fight against the Da Hua Army?
It was previously claimed that Emperor Qianwen was killed by Tang Ao and Blood Dragon Temple, but they just needed to create a name for Tang Jia's rise to power. In fact, many people see this very clearly. Even now, there is no question about Emperor Qianwen. How he died is still unclear.
At that time, it was necessary to frighten others, the ministers in the court, and to divert everyone's attention, so for a period of time, he showed the intention of going to war with the Chinese army. But now, Tang Jia's position is Now that we have secured our seats, how can we possibly go to fight with the Great Chinese Army?
Do you really think that the Dahua Army is so easy to mess with? Is it so easy to deal with?
Now if they don't fight, they will burn incense. It's just because they have to deal with foreigners and have no time to pay attention to themselves. And if they take the initiative to look for trouble at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to forcing the Chinese army to become their enemy? ?
Kong Fu would not do such a stupid thing. But apart from this, he really couldn't think of anything else that Hou Dexing would do to him.
When Kong Fu asked the reason, Hou Dexing calmed down his anger, and then said: "Master Kong, my master asked you for help this time. The Chinese army outside Pingcheng is well-defended and is not easy to attack. Our master will I wonder if the Daqian Army can contribute, send troops to attack Jinzhou, disperse the force distribution of the Dahua Army, and create a better condition and environment for us Huns to go north. Oh, of course I can’t let Lord Kong be busy in vain. This is ready for you."
As he spoke, a small box was handed over. The box was still open, and a stack of silver notes inside was exposed.
The small box moved along the table and came to Kong Fu. There was a picture of "You just need to agree, and these banknotes will be yours." But this time, Kong Fu was unmoved and didn't even look at it. The box glanced at it, but instead narrowed his eyes and said: "Mr. Hou, you think too highly of Kong. Sending troops is a major matter for the country, and it is not something that a mere minister of Kong can do. It's better not to mention this matter again. "
Kong Fu actually refused. Although he had been prepared for it, Hou Dexing's face turned a little ugly when it happened. "What? Master Kong, what do you mean by this? Is he too dissatisfied with the lack of money? Or does he look down on us Huns at all?" ?”
"Hahaha, Mr. Hou is joking, how could Kong look down on the Huns? We were allies in the past. It's really a big cause of trouble. Kong's ability is limited and he can't make the decision." Kong Fu laughed and said. He said he was a former ally, so he made the matter clear. The general idea was to help you Xiongnu go north to Pingcheng. This was the best he could do. As for other things, forget it.
Kong Fu's flat refusal made Hou Dexing's unhappy face turn cold instantly, "Mr. Kong, we have always cooperated very happily. Now I'm afraid it won't be good if you want to clear up the relationship between us. "
"Hey, Mr. Hou, what does this mean? We have always cooperated very happily before. You take the money and I will do things for you. Now Kong has done a good job in what he promised you. But big things like sending troops are really serious. It’s not someone’s fault, I hope Mr. Hou can understand.”
I understand you daddy.
Hou Dexing really wanted to say such a curse word. But considering that it was insulting to Si Wen, he didn't say it. Instead, he suddenly thought of Zhuang Cheng's proposal, and his face became a little sinister and he said, "Master Kong , your answer is really heartbreaking. How will you know if something is okay if you don’t do it? Besides, we Xiongnu are kind to you and your master. If we hadn’t taken action, Emperor Qianwen would have He won't die, and the master in you will no longer be able to take over."
"Hou Dexing, what do you mean?" When Kong Fu heard this obvious threat, his expression immediately changed.
"What does it mean? It means literally. Master Kong had better cooperate with us when sending troops to Jinzhou this time. Otherwise, my master will be unhappy. The death of Emperor Qianwen was a joint effort between you and me." I'm afraid it will spread all over the world soon. When that time comes, hehe, I really want to see how you are going to clean yourself up in the face of the accusations from everyone in the world." He let out a laugh and threatened. The meaning is very strong.
There are indeed many theories about the death of Emperor Qianwen below, but because no one has proof that the Huns and Tang Jia joined forces, it can only be regarded as speculation. But now if the Huns take the initiative to stand up and admit this speculation, The result is completely different.
The day after Emperor Qianwen's death, someone dug up the bodies of many Huns cavalry in the palace, which is clear evidence. The difference is who sent these Huns cavalry, or who colluded with them. It was just together. The Huns occupied an important position in this matter. Once they admitted who was instigating it, that person would surely be under great pressure.
Hou Dexing used this matter to talk about it, in order to tell Kong Fu that if you don't obey, then this matter will be made public, and in that case, everyone will not have an easy time. This is because he just listened to Zhuang After finishing that sentence, I came up with the countermeasures.
He dared to threaten himself, and Kong Fu's expression immediately dropped. With the change in status, Kong Fu was no longer the submissive person he used to be. Not to mention that the Huns were now confronting the Great China Army, and it was impossible to turn the gun around now. I am no longer an enemy of Daqian.
"Hmph, Mr. Hou has such a loud tone. Even so, Kong is waiting to see how well you do it. Come on, let's see the guests off."
In the midst of his bad tone, a housekeeper came and invited Hou Dexing out with a smile. Kong Fu dared to tell him to leave. Hou Dexing's face was quite ugly, even after he walked out of Kong Fu's house. He was still cursing, and everyone saw the displeasure in his eyes, and they all knew that this time he was rejected here.
