Chapter 148 Persuasion

"If three million stones of gold are not enough, then what if you add one Yanzhou?"

The sound was not loud, but it was like a golden jade that was soaring to the ground, sonorous and powerful, and landing soundly. Yang Fanhai looked at Gongsun Shaodian and said what he said in his heart, with a calm face.

He actually didn't have much confidence in attacking Yanzhou and expelling Guifang tribes, but Master Feng had never given him such a clear thing for him to do, so he must be very sure.

Moreover, the matter has reached the current situation, and I just took the initiative to tell it, one to increase the bargaining chips, and the other hand, I just took the initiative to volunteer for the Yanzhou incident.

"Yanzhou!" Gongsun Shaodian's eyes lit up and he smiled meaningfully, "What do you mean?"

Yang Fanhai immediately said loudly: "Please give me another 200,000 troops. I am willing to expel the Guifang tribe of Yanzhou for the king and give a complete Yanzhou to the king."

"You borrow my men to attack Yanzhou and then offer it to me." Gongsun Shaodian smiled faintly: "Why do I feel that this transaction seems to be a problem? I will give 200,000 people, and you only give one... Even if you add your twelve retainers, there are only about ten people. In the end, Yanzhou seems to have become your thing, and this is not the case for the transaction."

"And I am not as urgent as you think about Yanzhou. After the second prince takes Xuzhou and then I can let him lead the army to Yanzhou."

"Although he is a little stubborn and doesn't like to conquer him with his personal force during wars, if he is asked to fight this time, but the alien race, I believe he should be more motivated."

Yang Fanhai frowned, thought for a moment, and bowed to Gongsun Shaodian: "Master, I have something to say to the king alone. I wonder if the king can ask His Highness the Prince to go to the side hall for a rest first?"

"Yang Fanhai, you..."

Gongsun Weiqing was furious. It was too much for a minister to leave as a prince.

Gongsun Shaodian stared at Yang Fanhai's eyes, motionless, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts. Yang Fanhai also looked at Gongsun Shaodian's eyes without any deviation, as if he was that Gongsun Weiqing next to him did not exist.

After a while, Gongsun Shaodian nodded: "Okay, Wei Qing, you go back first."

"Axe King, this..."

Gongsun Weiqing looked surprised, and never expected that Gongsun Shaodian would agree. Looking at Gongsun Shaodian's eyes that were not allowed to be disobeyed, he finally gritted his teeth and bowed, and retreated angrily.

Gongsun Shaodian then looked at Yang Fanhai and said, "Okay, the eldest prince is gone. Just say anything if you have anything to say!"

After Yang Fanhai bowed and gave a big gift, he spoke, "I wonder what Princess Jinglu's status is in the king's heart?"

"Is Princess Jinglu?" Gongsun Shaodian thought for a moment and then spoke: "It's not a high status. It's just that her origin determines that she can enjoy the current treatment in my country of Bear."

"The king is indeed a sincere man and has not fooled the ministers!" Yang Fanhai saluted again: "Although the princess is beautiful, there are so many beautiful women in the world, and it is not considered a charming look. Ji Kingdom is gone, and even the people have been moved to Youxiong Kingdom and have been wiped cleanly."

"She is now just a princess who is destroyed and is still under house arrest in Zhengcheng. To some extent, she has become a tool that has little value and is just used to increase the reputation of the king."

Gongsun Shaodian raised his eyebrows. To some extent, Yang Fanhai was not wrong. However, if you dare to say it in front of him like Yang Fanhai, I am afraid that the entire Youxiong Kingdom will not be able to find a second one.

"I know, I believe His Highness knows it too. The purpose of his doing so is not to marry Princess Jinglu, but to me! Because I have captured him, he has always held a grudge."

"Many people say that he wanted to marry Princess Jinglu to get the ministers and their soldiers to serve him. It is undeniable, and it is one of the reasons. But in terms of the character of His Highness the Great Prince, his greater purpose is probably to revenge on Weimin."

"As the prince, I have tried my best to make things difficult for me, and I have no choice but to take the royal glory together. I am so proud that in terms of temperament, His Highness the Great Prince is really far inferior to His Highness the Second Prince."

Gongsun Shaodian asked with a normal expression: "Do you just want to scold His Highness the Great Prince in front of me and then ask me to reject this matter?"

"No!" Yang Fanhai shook his head: "It's just because he was inspired. Although the empress has not been here for a long time, because the king did it too obviously, I can also see that the king has been suppressing His Highness the Second Prince and advocating His Highness."

"Let's not talk about whether such a great prince is worthy of such a respect. Just in terms of the current situation, His Highness the Second Prince is quite famous and can fight well. Without the influence of the king, even a hundred great princes would not be able to compete with him."

"Although the Battle of Yanzhou was originally the beginning of His Highness the Great Prince, he was unfortunately captured by me. If His Highness the Second Prince had not planned his plan, Yanzhou would not be the same now, but the result would never be like this. In this way, His Highness the Great Prince is not as good as His Highness the Second Prince has become aware of many people."

"Now he is about to take Xuzhou, which means he has the credit for the two states. If Your Majesty asks him to take Yanzhou again, it will be the credit for the three states. The Kingdom of Xiong is only a land of one state. Now His Highness, the second prince, alone, has made the credit for the three states, and his reputation is so great."

"Even if the king helps, His Highness the Prince will probably not be able to suppress His Highness the Second Prince. Although I have never understood why the King has left a obviously more capable second son and insisted on praising an elder son who is obviously inferior to him, I believe that such a result is definitely not what you want to see from the king, otherwise I would not have led my army to Qingzhou alone."

"You dare to say it!" Gongsun Shaodian said slowly, unable to tell the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in his heart.

Yang Fanhai also looked calm. As for the matter, he had nothing to worry about. He immediately said loudly: "Although I am not a talent for the world, I also feel that I am good."

"Since the king just agreed to the Princess Jinglu mentioned by Weichen, I must agree that the real purpose of this marriage is just as my retainer analyzed: I want my country of Ji to serve His Highness the Great Prince."

"Yes, I'm just thinking!" Gongsun Shaodian said directly without hiding it.

Yang Fanhai did not beat around the bush and said loudly: "Then the empress can only tell the king that this is absolutely impossible."

"Why?" Gongsun Shaodian asked, his eyes staring at Yang Fanhai tightly.

Yang Fanhai did not avoid the other party's eyes and said loudly: "As Weichen said just now, he tried his best to make trouble with a minister like me, and he would not hesitate to take advantage of the royal glory. With such a master, Weichen would rather die than serve him."

"Then what if I pass the throne to him now?" Gongsun Shaodian asked loudly, and even stood up directly.

Gongsun Shaodian is not very strong, but he has been in a high position for many years and has a kingly aura. At this time, he is condescending with anger on his face, even Yang Fanhai's heart is shocked.

However, there is no need to give in at this moment. Yang Fanhai said loudly: "Weichen does not control the inheritance of the royal family, but no one can control the place of the Weichen."

"If His Highness the Great Prince ascended the throne and became the king of Youxiong Kingdom, the weak minister had no choice but to resign and leave. He always held a grudge for the past. If he became the master of his minister, what the result would be, the king would definitely know better than the minister. Since this is the case, it would be better to leave early."

"Do you think you can leave at will?" Gongsun Shaodian shouted loudly: "If you don't understand the way of the king and the ministers, what's the point of keeping you? You are young and energetic, don't think that no one can surrender you if you have great skills."

"If people are not afraid of life and death, how can they be afraid of death!" Yang Fanhai also said loudly: "Yang Fanhai never feels invincible in the world. Not to mention others, even the Second Prince can easily defeat me, but it is only defeated and cannot make me surrender."

"I have no interest in the so-called wealth, fame and fortune. Whether it is Ji or Youxiong, I am just a temporary place to settle down in my life. If I can't stay there, I can leave."

"I used to fight to protect the people of Ji Country, but now I am fighting for the righteousness of the human race, and I am fully ashamed of it. If the king insists on doing this, he will only die."

"Same, if the king insists on marrying Princess Jinglu to His Highness, I will definitely take her away at all costs as the princess wishes, even if she dies, there is no place to bury her."

"I don't know how the king will choose a woman who has no value, a general who can expand territory for Youxiong Kingdom to resist foreign countries in the future, but this is all I want to say."

People are not afraid of life and death, but how can they be afraid of death? It is precisely because Yang Fanhai did not have too many extravagant expectations and demands for Youxiong Kingdom and even Gongsun Shaodian that he did not have the feeling of timidity at all when facing the king of this country. To a certain extent, he even surpassed Gongsun Xuanyuan.

It was so straightforward that I almost didn't shout rebellion directly.

Gongsun Shaodian looked at Yang Fanhai motionless, and could not see anything in his eyes. At this moment, there was a strange tranquility in the Dezheng Hall, as quiet as if time had stopped.

I don’t know how long it took, but Gongsun Shaodian sat on the throne again and said with a smile: “Since the Battle of Yanzhou, I have been quite curious about you. A general who resisted until the end did not surrender. He thought he was a loyal general, but now it seems that you are not as loyal to the Ji royal family as you imagined.”

"But this does not prevent you from becoming a very useful general, at least more useful than Princess Jinglu."

"This is a good deal. For the sake of you, a general who will be useful in the future, I promise you and give you a promise. As long as the Duke of Ji is obedient, no one will interfere in all matters in the Duke of Ji's Mansion! What do you think?"
