My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2062 Negotiation
Xia Gongming's face was thrown all over the place, looking at Liu Chengzhi who was looking at him with a smile, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He didn't expect Liu Chengzhi to be so quick-witted and sharp-tongued at the age of 12.

I just used filial piety to advise him not to inherit the throne in a daze, and to imitate his father's character, but he immediately refuted himself with filial piety.

Since we want to govern the country with filial piety, wouldn't it be against filial piety if I disobeyed my father's will.

"This official would take the liberty to ask. His Royal Highness said that he obeyed the king's will and immediately inherited the throne. Can the prince's suicide note be read by the old man?"

"Why not?"

Liu Chengzhi took out a completely folded piece of rice paper from his wristband, went to Xia Gongming and handed it over.

"Lord Xia, my father's suicide note is here, please read it to see if this king violated filial piety and acted privately!"

Xia Gongming took the rice paper and read it carefully, carefully considering every word.

In the end, a look of regret flashed across Xia Gongming's eyes, and he held the letter paper in his hands trembling slightly.

The handwriting, signature, and king's seal are all without the slightest problem.

The content of the letter was indeed the will that once he passed away, his son Liu Chengzhi would immediately inherit the throne and appease the hearts of the people in northern Xinjiang.

Xia Gongming tremblingly returned the letter to Liu Chengzhi.

Once Liu Chengzhi succeeded to the throne in a logical manner, it meant that he already had a reasonable status to take charge of all the important military and political affairs of the 27th government of Northern Xinjiang.

But the imperial court most hoped not to see Liu Chengzhi, the son of the side-by-side prince, take charge of the 27 Northern Xinjiang prefectures so soon.

However, even if he denies it on behalf of the court, it is useless.

His Royal Highness Wang Shizi has been recognized by his soldiers and horses.

It is useless for the imperial court to admit or not to admit his succession to the throne. The important thing is that he can now command 20 tiger and wolf troops.

And these 20 tiger and wolf divisions are exactly what the imperial court fears.

Without the dragon seal, without a reasonable succession to the throne, he was able to command the invincible 20 cavalry. What kind of charm does this side-by-side prince have?

"Shoulder-to-shoulder King, I would like to ask you, the army of the Northern Expedition has already stepped into the Kingdom of Jin, galloping across the grasslands, and the unification of the world is just around the corner.

The Northern Expedition is only short of the final charge, and the troops are still facing the court at this moment, so what is the matter? "

Xia Gongming didn't open his mouth to question why Liu Chengzhi led his soldiers and horses to flee when the world was about to be unified, but changed to a milder wording, just not wanting to arouse Liu Chengzhi's dissatisfaction.

"Master Xia, there is no need for you and me to hide and ambiguously speak.

Lord Xia was supposed to be in charge of state affairs in the imperial court, but now he appeared outside the city of Yingzhou in northern Xinjiang. How could he not know the purpose of the king's class teacher returning to the imperial court?

My father, who was in his prime, was assassinated and died on the way to Beijing.

As a son of man, this king is justified in seeking justice for his father, both emotionally and rationally.

The death of the father is unclear, is the court going to give an explanation?

Not only this king and his father's hundreds of thousands of brothers who lived and died in the past, but for the people of the 27 prefectures in northern Xinjiang, they also need to come up with an explanation, so that the truth of his father's assassination and death can be revealed to the world. "

"What kind of explanation does the side-by-side king want?"

"My lord said this, what kind of explanation this king needs, my lord knows better than this king."

Xia Gongming was silent for a moment, and looked at Liu Chengzhi expectantly: "My lord, this matter cannot be decided by the lower official alone, can you give the lower official a few days, and the lower official will send a letter to the court immediately, and then I will definitely give the lord a report about the late king An account of being assassinated and killed."

"Of course! As long as the court can come up with a well-founded explanation, what's the point of waiting for the king?
One month, two months is all right, as long as there is an explanation. "

The crispness of Liu Chengzhi's promise directly made Xia Gongming stunned.

A moment later, Xia Gongming looked at Liu Chengzhi in relief and disbelief with joy in his old eyes.

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

"A gentleman says that four horses are hard to chase, and the 24 cavalry behind this king can prove it."

Looking at Liu Chengzhi's solemn expression, Xia Gongming let out a long breath, and bowed to Liu Chengzhi with a big gift.

"Your Majesty really has a strong character of fatherly righteousness, I admire you so much, please be respected by me.

Please ask the prince to order the soldiers of the three armies to set up camp outside the city, and the next official will return to the city immediately to send a letter to the capital. "

"Wait a minute!"

Xia Gongming was about to turn around when he heard Liu Chengzhi's words, his heart trembled, and he looked at Liu Chengzhi in surprise.

"Is there anything else to say, my lord?"

Liu Chengzhi smiled lightly at the city of Yingzhou: "Master Xia, it seems that the king and the brothers under his command will not be able to settle in the city of Yingzhou to rest, and setting up camp outside the city is not a problem.

But the food and grass consumed by this army every day!Should the elder give an explanation?

Not allowing this king to return to his fiefdom, and not giving him food and grass, both for public and private purposes, for both sentiment and reason, I'm afraid it's hard to talk about this matter.

You can't let the king and the 20 cavalry under his command wait outside hungry! "

Xia Gongming looked at Liu Chengzhi suspiciously, and couldn't help wondering whether Liu Chengzhi was cheating for food.

Give it, in case the army immediately turns back and starts attacking the city after the food and grass are in hand, not only will it be impossible to retreat the enemy, but it will give Liu Chengzhi the confidence to fight for a long time.

Don't give it, the army may attack the city immediately because of hunger.

Xia Gongming's joyful mood just now became melancholy, pondered for a long time, and looked at Liu Chengzhi hesitantly.

"May I ask how much food and grass the prince needs?"

"How about giving it three months first? After all, this king really doesn't know how long Mr. Xia's negotiation with the court will be delayed."

Xia Gongming exclaimed: "Three months!"

"Yes, three months! Otherwise, I can't guarantee what 20 hungry and crazy elites will do."

"There is too much grain and grass in the past three months. 20 days, 20 days, the officials promise to give the prince a reasonable explanation. The officials don't need to report to the court. They make their own decisions and ask the officials in the city to use hanging baskets to bring out 25 days of food and grass supplies. What are the daily needs of the soldiers?"

"My lord, I can't say no to my lord, after all, my lord is an old friend of my father. Although the younger generation inherits the throne, you dare not dissatisfy my venerable lord.

two months.

Don't talk about anything less! "

"My lord, two months' food and grass is not a small amount. The officials really don't dare to take out such a large amount of food and grass without authorization."

Liu Chengzhi frowned slightly, and gently stroked the handle of the knife at his waist: "My lord, since you can't be the master, this king can only lead the troops to detour to Beijing to find someone who can be the master."

Xia Gongming's heart skipped a beat, he started pacing back and forth looking at Liu Chengzhi's plain gaze

"How about an hour, after an hour, the next official will give the prince an answer?"

"Okay, this king has something to say first, and we won't wait when it's too late."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will abide by the agreement, my lord will be later."

Xia Gongming saluted Liu Chengzhi, and rushed towards the gate of Yingzhou city with the hem of his official robe at a speed that did not meet his age.

Liu Chengzhi looked at Xia Gongming's disappearing figure, and walked towards Cheng Kai and the others with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Several uncles, wouldn't it be better for us to bypass Yingzhou and go directly to the capital? Why would we do such a meaningless act?"

The six of Cheng Kai glanced at each other, surrounded by Brother Liu Chengzhi and walked towards the distance.

"Your Highness, the prince's decision has its own meaning, and we just follow orders."

Liu Chengzhi glanced at the elder brother and third younger brother who were also confused, and nodded silently to Cheng Kai and the other six.

While Xia Gongming was ascending towards the city wall in a hanging basket, the tremor of the ground made the soldiers of the new army's six guards outside the city immediately get on their horses, drew out their weapons and looked towards the north.
