Three hundred and eighty first chapters bribe important ministers
Cai Jing was slightly stunned, and after a while, he said, "What do you mean by Mr. Zhu's words?"
Zhu Wu smiled and said: "The grand master should understand what I mean.www"
Cai Jing frowned slightly and said, "Are you here for peace talks, or do you want to go to war with the Song Dynasty?"
Zhu Wudao: "Of course we are here for peace talks! What I just said was just in case!"
Cai Jing said calmly: "Since we are talking about peace, you shouldn't say what you just said! I pretend I didn't hear it, and you must not talk about it to anyone else."
Cai Jing looked at the gifts carefully while talking, and he was overjoyed. If it was just for ordinary things, Liangshan didn't need to send so many heavy gifts. It seems that Liangshan's so-called "peace talks" have a big agenda. Although he is greedy
, Although he is a wise minister, his knowledge is extraordinary. He has now guessed Liangshan's purpose. It seems that Liangshan wants to stabilize the Song Dynasty and then start a war with the woman. Liangshan is not willing to face enemies on both sides.
Danger.
He sat there without saying a word, but he was constantly thinking in his mind. In fact, he felt that the current peace talks were good. The Song Dynasty had just experienced the Fang La Troubles, and Jiangnan had not yet completely stabilized. It needed to rest and recuperate for a while.
Moreover, he felt that Liangshan was now at its peak and the Liao Kingdom had been conquered.
Song Dynasty may not be Liangshan's opponent. If you wait a little longer and wait until the leader of the Liangshan rebels adapts to the wealthy life, I am afraid that their combat effectiveness will drop immediately. Besides, he is now over 80 years old and will soon be buried. The Song Dynasty
The matter has little to do with him. Even if the Song Dynasty is really destroyed, what will happen?
Zhu Wu's words just now also gave him a guarantee, but he didn't know whether the guarantee was true or false.
He thought for a long time and thought that only the immediate benefits were the most important.
Zhu Wu looked at the constant changes in Cai Jing's eyes and couldn't help but said: "What does the Grand Master think of the peace talks between Liangshan and the Song Dynasty?"
Cai Jing smiled and said: "I heard that there are twelve Yu Bodhisattvas carved by Hetian Meiyu in Yanjing City. Is this true?"
He didn't answer the question, but Zhu Wu was overjoyed. He understood that Cai Jing was continuing to ask for gifts. Since he was asking for gifts, he was willing to do things for Liangshan. But this person's appetite was indeed not small.
In the royal temples surrounding the Liao Palace in Yanjing, there are twelve Bodhisattvas carved from yu stone. They were made by Xiao Yanyan, the most famous empress dowager in the history of the Liao Kingdom, when she was still alive. Each one is lifelike, just like a real person.
Generally. It is said that in order to make this
All the jade stone workers in the entire Liao Kingdom were summoned for the twelve jade Buddhas. As for the jade stones themselves, they were found by the Tubo people in the mountains. The Liao people snatched them from the Tubo people. Each jade stone was the size of a person.
The jade stone itself is a priceless treasure.
Zhu Wu nodded and said: "It's just twelve Yu Bodhisattvas, of course there is no problem! After I return, I will send someone to Bianliang immediately!"
Cai Jing was stunned and said: "You can make the decision on such an important matter?"
Zhu Wu smiled and said: "Of course you can! Don't worry, Grand Master!"
He believed that Wu Dong would never care about these twelve Yu Bodhisattvas! Ever since he met Wu Dong, Wu Dong had never cared about those things outside his body. First in Tian Hu's treasure house, and later in Yan Yun's palace,
Wu Dong never cared about those treasures, he only used them as tools. I heard that when he was in Goryeo, Wu Dong also used all the treasures of the Goryeo royal family as military expenses, and he didn't leave any words behind at all.
The Cai Jing in front of him was a person who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people in the Great Song Dynasty. In order to bribe this person, the twelve Yu Bodhisattvas should not be placed in Wu Dong's heart.
Cai Jing's face showed an expression of great joy. He had long heard that the twelve jade Buddha statues were the best jade statues in the world. He had long wanted to get them, but at the time, the Liao Kingdom was even more beautiful than the Song Dynasty.
So powerful, how could he get such treasures from the Emperor of Liao? Now that the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was occupied by thieves, he got these treasures instead.
Seeing Cai Jing smiling, Zhu Wu also smiled and said: "The peace talks are good for the Song Dynasty and Liangshan. Both you and I have experienced many years of war. Now it's time to stop and take a rest."
Cai Jing finally promised: "This is easy!"
After Zhu Wu left the Grand Master's Mansion, he breathed in the fresh air outside and started laughing after a while. Lu Zhishen was a little frustrated and said: "That old guy Cai Jing actually wants such a precious treasure! Those twelve statues
I have also seen Yu Bodhisattva, each one is the same size as a real person, and each expression is different! Even though I am a rough person, I also know that they are priceless treasures."
Zhu Wudao: "He wants the treasure, that's good! If he doesn't want it, I don't know what to do! Come on, let's go to Gao Qiu's place next."
When Lu Zhishen heard the name "Gao Qiu", he couldn't help but curse. He had a very good relationship with Lin Chong. It was precisely because Lin Chong was sabotaged by Gao Qiu that he left the Daxiangguo Temple. He hated this man extremely! He heard that he was going to go
He was extremely unwilling to buy this man's mansion.
"When you get there, you must not speak." Zhu Wudao said.
"Okay!" Lu Zhishen said a little unhappy.
After entering Gao Qiu's house, Lu Zhishen did not say a word, and Zhu Wu immediately presented the treasure after a few words of greetings! Originally Gao Qiu was lukewarm towards these Liangshan envoys, but after seeing the financial report, he became confused.
Change, with a smile on his face! As for supporting the peace talks, Gao Qiu didn’t even think about it
He thought, and immediately agreed. In his opinion, Liangshan was just a rebel. He felt that he had mastered the key to fighting a war. Now that peace talks were in progress, he would still be able to annihilate Liangshan in a year or two as long as he sent troops. Inside the Imperial Court
, stupid people like him are extremely rare.
"Let's go to Yang Jian!" Zhu Wu said again after coming out of Gao Qiu's mansion.
The three most famous eunuchs in the late Northern Song Dynasty were Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and Yang Jian! It is incredible that Yang Jian, an eunuch, was now named Taifu! Even in the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs had great power.
At that time, no eunuch had such a title. A great eunuch like him no longer had to stay in the palace all the time. He also had his own mansion in Bianliang City.
When Yang Jian heard that the envoy from Liangshan was visiting, he hesitated for a while and let Zhu Wu and Lu Zhishen come in.
When he saw Zhu Wu, his face was not very good, and he said coldly: "Are you Zhu Wu? Where is Wu Yong? Why doesn't he dare to come to see me?"
Zhu Wudao: "Mr. Wu is in Korea and doesn't have time to come over for the time being."
Yang Jian snorted coldly. He was deceived by Liangshan because of Wu Yong! Later, the incident came to light, and he was also reprimanded by Song Huizong, so he was extremely angry with Wu Yong.
Among the important ministers of the Song Dynasty, apart from Cai Jing who had some talents, Gao Qiu was just a playmate of Song Huizong. The only thing he was good at was playing football. As for Yang Jian, he was just a eunuch. He was not good at writing and was good at pleasing the emperor.
!He is the director of Royal Flower Garden
Eunuch, because Hua Shi Gang is closely related to Hua Yuan, he has great power, but when it comes to real ability, he has no one at all! At this moment, he is only focusing on venting the anger in his heart. If the person in front of him was not the Liangshan envoy, he would have
Just kill him to vent his hatred.
"Master Yang, it seems that you and Liangshan are also old friends! We are very sorry for what happened last time." Zhu Wudao.
"Humph, are you just sorry?" Yang Jian snorted coldly.
"Of course not! To be honest with you, we have prepared one hundred thousand taels of gold and are transporting it to your manor outside Bianliang City." Zhu Wudao.
"What, one hundred thousand taels of gold?" Yang Jian was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Zhu Wu had a smile on his face, but he actually felt a little distressed in his heart. This one hundred thousand taels of gold was not a small number. It was just that Liangshan had offended Yang Jian, and Yang Jian was a favorite of Song Huizong. If he was disgusted with Liangshan,
, it would be very difficult for Liangshan to achieve his goals in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Our chief governor said that he and you have not seen each other for a long time. The last time you went to Korea as an envoy, he hoped that you could go to Yanyun this time, and he would certainly entertain you warmly." Zhu Wudao.
"What kind of hospitality?" Yang Jian put away his smile and said coldly.
He made a big joke last time when he was on an envoy. He actually thought that the Governor of Liangshan was the King of Goryeo. Is he going to make a joke again this time?
"The Grand Governor said that after you arrive at Yanyun, you can choose thirty pieces of property in the palace! You can take them away when the time comes, and he will never stop you." Zhu Wudao.
"This..." Yang Jian suddenly became excited.
After a long time, Zhu Wu came out of Yang Jian's house with a relaxed expression on his face. Lu Zhishen asked: "Where are we going this time?"
