Wan Heshun paused in his heart, glanced at Hu Qi, and then slowly replied: "Prefect Ye, as an officer, should also play a leadership role. Just implement what you want."
"Thank you, Prince."
After Ye Yongjia paid his respects, his servants led him down.
Wan Heshun turned around and asked Hu Qidao: "What do you think?"
Hu Qidao: "According to your wishes, Wei Chong should have been sent to take care of it; but in my opinion, an alliance with the Mainland Party is inevitable, so he should never be sent to do this again."
Wan Heshun said with a smile: "Hu Shangshu, since Ye Yongjia has contacts with people from the Liu Party, it means that this person must have different intentions. How do you think I dare to use him?"
Hu Qi saw that he was resolute and didn't know what to do. He made a plop and knelt on the ground: "Prince, Wei Chong is not a kind person! If he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he will cause trouble and the current situation will be unfavorable; besides, Ye Yongjia
He is a turtle in a urn, so why not let him have a foothold in Nanjing? You are personally granted by the imperial court, and you have no objection, so naturally you cannot compare it with the Lu Deguang of the past. I hope I will take a closer look!"
Wan Heshun also heard some truth, so he reluctantly nodded and said: "You get up first."
As soon as Hu Qi stood up, he added: "After I make peace with Lu Fangxuan, I will slowly decide the matter based on the results. As for whether Ye Yongjia can do a good job and open up a path for himself... it is his business."
Already."
Hu Qi didn't expect Wan Heshun to make any unnecessary concessions, so he put down his advice and responded in a low voice: "Yes..."
Wan Heshun knew that the Liu Party was approaching the city and was unable to argue with the Lu Party anymore, so he took this opportunity to make a smooth move. He cut several feet of silk and satin from the house, prepared cattle, sheep and other livestock, and a large box of silver.
He sent his servant to Yue Mansion. Ye Yongjia was still worried and asked to go with him. Wan Heshun also felt that he was a suitable person, so he readily agreed.
"Wang Wanshun of Jiankang County has come to wish the Duke of Yue auspicious New Year. He has prepared two hundred taels of silver, an ox and a sheep, and nine feet of silk and satin as gifts. It is not respectful!" After the slave read it, he put a red paper in his pocket and said,
He gave a big salute to Lu Fangxuan.
Qi Zi next to him looked dismissively, but Lu Fangxuan burst into laughter: "We are like brothers, which shows our friendship. But since it is Brother Wan's wish, I cannot accept it in vain. I have to give you a gift in return.
"
"Steward, please show the people here to measure the cloth and ask them to take it back." Lu Fangxuan ordered.
Ye Yongjia walked up from behind the door. When he was seen by Qi Zi, he stopped him and asked, "Hey, why did the prefect come in person? It seems that Prince Wan is treating you well!"
Ye Yongjiaguang smiled at him, then walked straight to Lu Fangxuan and bowed.
"Master Ye, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, isn't it busy in the Yamen?" Lu Fangxuan said, asking for a seat.
"Every day has been hard since Xiaguan took charge of Nanjing. I have been busy preparing for the opening of the curfew these days, so I came together." Ye Yongjia said very relaxedly.
"What did you say, open the curfew?" Lu Fangxuan was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Yes," Ye Yongjia continued, "but this matter requires the deployment of a large number of soldiers. The lifting of the ban on New Year's Eve depends on your support."
Lu Fangxuan understood what he really meant and knew that Wan Heshun was sincere in seeking peace talks with him.
"Of course, New Year's Eve is about the safety of all the people. I should send troops to help, under the full command of the prefect." Lu Fangxuan said with a smile.
Ye Yongjia looked at his smiling face, heard his confirmation, and felt secretly happy in his heart: "This time I am the messenger of all parties. I not only express the intention of peace and alliance, but also take the troops from both ends. Wei Chong has no power at the moment. I
You can finally have a place in Nanjing!'
He was immersed in joy and was thinking about how to answer the call. Suddenly, the servant of Wanfu jumped out and said loudly: "Master Ye, why don't you mention the matter of King Wanjun? Are you only thinking about yourself? He knows it clearly.
I told you to negotiate peace with Mr. Lu..."
Ye Yongjia was shocked, as if a cold air came up from his feet and went straight to his forehead. He was so frightened that his face was ashen, and the sweat on his face fell to his fingertips.
Everyone who was laughing just now stopped smiling and turned their heads to look over.
Lu Fangxuan was dumbfounded for a moment. When he came to his senses, he turned to clasping his hands and laughing: "Look at what you said! Look at what you said! Talk about peace? Brother Wan and I are iron-clad brothers. We have never had any differences. How can we have peace?"
You can talk about it! I advise you not to listen to the nonsense of the people below..."
Ye Yongjia took a breath and calmly wiped the sweat on his head.
Although Lu Fangxuan tried to smooth things over, the power of this sentence would not disappear. Originally, according to Ye Yongjia's expectation, the two parties of Wan and Lu reconciled quietly, without losing face to each other; but in the end, they were
The minion's reckless disruption of the situation will definitely cause a big storm, making the New Year even more difficult to end.
Lu Fangxuan and Zheng Shiyan looked at each other, and then stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, I am going to the back to choose a piece of cloth. You guys will wait a moment to choose a good one for Wanjun Wang. Please accept the gift.
, Commander Qi, Commander Zheng, you two come with me."
Lu Fangxuan opened the curtains, walked to the back room, went into a room, closed the windows on all sides, and discussed with Qi Zi and Zheng Shiyan.
"Damn it, Wan Heshun wants to negotiate peace with us? There is no way!" Qi Zi's eyes turned red when he mentioned Wan Dang.
Zheng Shiyan patted his shoulder and said, "You didn't understand what Qi was leading. Magistrate Ye was ordered by Wan Heshun to come to Yue Gong for discussion. Yue Gong weighed the pros and cons and decided to reconcile with Wan Dang.
Who would have expected that ignorant bitch
Servant, you must make this matter clear. Now that it has spread, the lifting of the ban has not only made the people forget the past, but has intensified it, making all parties ready to take action, especially Wei Chong, who must take the opportunity to create disputes."
Lu Fangxuan answered his words: "General Zheng is right. What we want to do most now is to maintain the stability of Nanjing. If the situation becomes serious, it will be a matter of time before a fire breaks out."
Qi Zi sighed: "You two are smart people. You don't know what to do?"
Zheng Shiyan advised: "It is better to follow the plan and invite Wan Heshun into the palace. Admit that there have been differences before, but deny the confrontation in the academy. This can reduce the limelight a little."
Lu Fangxuan curled his lips: "Seeing that the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I'm afraid it will be too late to invite Prince Wan to the palace and issue official documents. I have to take some coercive measures."
The two frowned and shouted in unison: "I would like to hear the details."
Lu Fangxuan's eyes shone with determination: "We will keep all the people who came to the house today here and let Ye Yongjia go out alone. Once New Year's Eve is over, everything will be easier to say."
Qi Zi became interested, grabbed the scabbard and shouted: "Master Lu, just give the order! In my hands... none of these people can escape."
