The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

At night, Jia's other courtyard.

boom!
"You're robbing! You claim to be a nation of etiquette! But it's no different from robbers!" Pu Zhian slapped the table hard, stood up abruptly, and roared angrily at Du Hao, who was blushing and thick-necked.

Du Hao wiped the saliva off his face, stood up, and said lightly:

"Let's put it here, how you choose is your business, if you don't agree, I can only leave."

Pu Zhian blushed: "You are so arrogant, how can I agree!"

Du Hao walked towards the door: "It's okay, I'm just passing on a message, I have nothing to do with any conditions."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Pu Zhian panicked: "Lord Du, please raise your hand and cut it down. Gao Gouli is newly defeated. I really can't afford 5000 million taels of silver! And those forty cities, if I give them , is the sinner of Gao Gouli!"

Yes, just now, Du Hao came to him and proposed the latest conditions:

If you want to regain your high hook strength, you need to pay 5000 million taels of silver and forty cities.

For Pu Zhian, this was totally unacceptable, 5000 million taels of silver would not be available even if Gao Gouli's treasury was emptied, and the forty cities were half of Gao Gouli's territory.

If he nodded and agreed, it would be equivalent to giving half of Gao Gouli to the big man, and he would be nailed to the pillar of shame in Gao Gouli's history and scolded by countless people.

"Oh, whatever." Du Hao walked towards the door without stopping, "Then you don't have to be this sinner, but you can live here forever."

Hearing this, Pu Zhian's eyes were fixed, he clenched his fists, and his whole body trembled violently.

What Du Hao said was right, if he didn't agree, he would have to stay in this small space for the rest of his life.

How can he be content?

He was a born king, he was the lord of the world, how could he die in such solitude?
This is impossible!

Even if he loses half of the country, doesn't he still have half of the country?Even if he only has ten cities and twenty cities left, he still has the possibility to stand up!
But what if he was locked up here?

The only thing waiting for him is death!
No one would know that he chose to die in misery in order to protect Gao Gouli's interests.

People remember him as the only one who was arrested in disgrace and the new emperor ascended the throne. He is like a pearl buried in the loess, even if it is extremely bright, no one will take a second look!
Thinking of this, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes were also flushed.

He is not reconciled!He wants everything back!
He is the greatest emperor of Gaogouli, no one can replace him!
At this time, seeing Du Hao opened the door, he finally opened his mouth. He growled in a hoarse voice:
"I agree! Let me go back! I will give you 5000 million taels of silver and forty cities!"

Like a red-eyed gambler, he bet everything.

Du Hao stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at him: "Oh? You should think it over, this matter cannot be regretted."

"Think it over! Never regret it!" Pu Zhian shouted.

"Okay!" Du Hao laughed, took out a document from his pocket and handed it to him, "Since that's the case, you have signed this certificate."

"Heh, His Royal Highness King Qin is indeed a good means, you have already expected that I will respond, right?" Pu Zhian asked with a sneer.

Obviously, Du Hao's condition came from Jia Jue's mouth.

Du Hao glanced at him: "I advise you not to have any thoughts about His Highness, otherwise, you will only suffer."

"Don't dare." Pu Zhian said coldly, then signed his name with trembling hands, and pressed his fingerprints.

He knew that with this lottery, there would be a catastrophe, and there would be chaos and disputes in Gao Gouli's country, and he would be scolded bloody.

But this is not important, he can completely ignore it, what he wants is a chance to make a comeback, is the imperial power!
After Du Hao verified that the signature was correct, he put away the document and smiled at him:

"Then, there will be no date in the future, and I wish you all the best."

……

Imperial City, Kunning Palace.

Zhao Qi walked around the garden with the queen.

A while ago, the death of several princes touched the queen a lot, and she was tied out by Hongyu once. During this time, she recovered a little bit, and Zhao Qi would come to accompany her when she was free.

"Your Majesty, haven't you been busy with government affairs these two days?" The queen looked at him and asked.

In the past, Zhao Qi was always busy with official duties, so he didn't have time to accompany her at all.

Zhao Qi shook his head: "I'm busy, but I don't need to think too much at this time."

The queen looked at him puzzled.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, but did not explain.In fact, after Jia Jue was put in charge of the economy, his pressure was relieved a lot.

But the queen didn't ask any more questions, but chatted with him.

While talking, Liu Tian walked over, took out a document and handed it to him:
"Your Majesty, Lord Du sent a copy of Gao Gouli's Letter of Credence."

Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked it up. After flipping through it, he burst out laughing:

"Go, announce this letter of credence to the world!"

Liu Tian hurriedly went in response.

The queen asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"

Zhao Qi smiled: "The emperor of Gao Gouli is willing to give 5000 million taels of silver, half of the land, in exchange for him to return to Gao Gouli."

The queen asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, if you let him go back, isn't it letting the tiger go back to the mountain? This person can be considered to have a good talent. With him at the top, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with?"

Zhao Qi shook his head: "Let the tiger go back to the mountain? Is a tiger without claws and teeth still considered a tiger?"

The queen looked at him puzzled again.

Zhao Qi explained with a smile: "In the battle of Liaodong, Gao Gouli's main force was completely lost, and Pu Zhian has become a toothless tiger. But this time he signed the letter of credence, he must lose all hearts, and Gao Gouli's family will definitely oppose it." The voices are spreading everywhere, whether he can suppress it is still up for debate.”

The queen nodded abruptly.

"This is one thing." Zhao Qi continued, "Secondly, if the big man wants to annex Gao Gouli's division out of Wuming, if he uses force to force it, he may be criticized by people. If it is Gao Gouli's ceding, then it is two things. In addition, Gao Gouli's folk customs are tough, if the big men forcefully attack, I am afraid that the price will be very high, and the soldiers and food money will definitely be consumed."

"The imperial court has not regained its vitality at this time, so don't use swords and soldiers rashly. But if Gao Gouli cedes it, he can take half of Gao Gouli's country without spending a single soldier. Why not do it?"

The queen nodded, and asked again: "But if you let him go back, will he go back on his word?"

"Repent?" Zhao Qi smiled, "It's absolutely impossible. If you catch him once, you can catch him a second time. In someone's words, he, a big horse monkey, can pull out the palm of the Buddha?"

puff!
The queen couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "The one who said that must be a bad embryo."

Zhao Qi laughed: "That's right, this bastard is indeed a bad embryo."
