The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Liyue Mission Inn.

Xiao Li was feeling a little restless in his room.

After Gu Jingzhi and the others left, what he was most worried about was what would happen between them and Bei Litan!

Although this possibility is very small according to the trend of the Great Xia court, the diplomatic relations between the two countries have always been based on interests first. If the old guy Baili Gongshu is really willing to spend the money, who knows what will happen!

Although Gu Jingzhi had conspired with him, he couldn't trust him completely! In Xiao Li's eyes, Gu Jingzhi was a man who followed the wind and only wanted to climb up the ladder.

If the conditions given by Baili Gongshu could give him enough merit and satisfy the Daxia court, the negotiations might not continue to drag on.

After all, negotiations are time-consuming and laborious, and we don’t know what the outcome will be.

Xiao Li walked and waited anxiously. Not long after, a strange noise suddenly came from his window, and a gleam of light flashed in Xiao Li's eyes.

After a while, a man covered in a cloak appeared in front of him. Xiao Li asked impatiently, "How is the negotiation between Beili and Daxia going?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Daxia and Beili haven't discussed anything substantial!"

"call!"

so far so good!

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "What did Da Xia and Baili Gongshu talk about?"

"I'm not very clear about the details, but Daxia has directly requested the ten states. It seems that Secretary Baili has not agreed and is currently discussing this with the delegation!"

"Discuss? If you don't agree, what's the point of discussing?"

Xiao Li asked curiously.

The land of ten states, let alone Baili Gongshu, even if it were him, he would not be able to cede the land of ten states directly!

The man in black muttered, "Your Highness, you should be prepared. Although the Beili delegation hasn't agreed, judging by the Baili official's words, he seems to be interested. I estimate... during the next negotiation, he should relent. It's just a matter of how much he'll give!"

"what?"

Xiao Li was shocked and immediately cursed, "How dare old Baili be so reckless?"

"Your Highness, compared to destroying a country, losing a little land, which is more important?"

The man in black said, "That's the specific situation. Your Highness, it would be best if you could just let it slide. If Baili Gongshu gets there first, then no matter how well-planned you and my master are, I'm afraid it will all be in vain!"

"Humph……"

Xiao Li snorted coldly: "This damned Da Xia actually used Baili Gongshu to pressure this prince!"

At this point, he still doesn't think that Daxia will be inclined to form an alliance with Beili. After all, only by forming an alliance with their Liyue Kingdom can the benefits be obvious!

What the Crown Prince of Daxia and Gu Jingzhi did was just to put pressure on him and force him to make concessions on the conditions.

snort!

Your plan is good, but do you really think that this prince will compromise?

"Do you have anyone in the Beili Guard? Try to be someone who has some influence!"

The man in black was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Your Highness, are you going to make a fuss about the Beili Guard?"

"This prince is also a military man, so naturally I know the weaknesses of the officers in the army!" Xiao Li said coldly.

The man in black thought for a moment and said, "There is one person, a captain in the Beili Guard!"

"Colonel Captain..."

Xiao Li thought for a moment and said, "Your status is neither high nor low, so it's just right. Come here..."

Xiao Li whispered something in the black-clothed man's ear, then said, "If you can handle this, there will probably be no need for Beili and Daxia to continue the discussion!"

The man in black didn't agree directly. Instead, he stood there, as if struggling for a while, and finally said, "I'll help you with this matter, but I have to make it clear that this will only be the last time I do something like this!"

"Alright, alright, alright! This prince understands, go and do it quickly!"

Xiao Li waved his hands, feeling extremely impatient.

You are just a household servant, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in front of this prince? If it weren't for your master, I would definitely make you pay!

After the man in black left, Xiao Li looked at the window that closed again and sneered in his heart.

Baili Gongshu, you want to retreat... This prince will make sure you have no way to retreat!

……

the other side.

After Gu Jingzhi separated from the members of the negotiation team, there was nothing else to do, so he leisurely returned to his home.

Now is the critical moment of the negotiations, which involves his future prospects and his weight in Emperor Xia's heart.

Strictly speaking, negotiating with the delegation was the first thing Emperor Xia assigned him since he became an official in the court.

If this matter is not handled well, his weight in Emperor Xia's heart will inevitably be greatly reduced. After all, a person who can only offer advice but has no ability to do things will be seen as a fake who only talks big but does nothing.

If even the person who came up with the plan cannot carry out his plan, it only means that the plan can only remain at the imaginary level.

After all, Emperor Xia's support for Gu Jingzhi meant that he was given power, people, and even the Inner Guard. His own son and the crown prince of the current dynasty all assisted him.

The fact that he still couldn't get things done at this point only proved that Gu Jingzhi was not as useful as he imagined.

The position of this secretary might have to be moved!

Gu Jingzhi naturally knew all this, so during this period of time, he reduced all activities as much as possible and tried not to make mistakes if possible!

There is no trivial matter in the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If someone catches hold of any small handle in the middle of the process, especially a sinister person like Song Pu, if he falls into his hands, then this deputy envoy may be in danger.

As for what kind of things will fall into Song Pu's hands?

Gu Jingzhi thought about it again and again, and it seemed that with his current identity, no matter what mistakes he made, Song Pu, the head of all officials, could easily control him!

……

After returning home, he carefully thought about everything that happened today. Somehow, he suddenly felt that he had to talk to the prince!

He was held back by a group of colleagues today and forgot to tell the prince about it.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly shouted, "Old Huang, Master, I need to go to the Prince's Mansion. You stay at home. If anyone has any urgent matters, go directly to the Prince's Mansion to find me!"

"Young Master, just relax and do your work. I'll spare you the trouble!"

When Old Huang heard about the Prince's Mansion, he knew that his young master had important matters to attend to, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Jingzhi came to the East Palace, handed in his business card, and waited at the door.

Here, the prince was talking to his wife and sister, when he suddenly heard from the servants that Gu Jingzhi had seen.

The Crown Prince was stunned, and even the Crown Princess Qiao Shuwan was amused. She glanced at Ah Jiu with interest and said with a smile, "This young Master Gu... can't stand being talked about! We were just talking about him, and he's here already?"

When Jiu heard this, she looked a little shy, because she was always teased by the Crown Princess and she felt a little embarrassed.

But there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

After all, according to what the prince said, this number one scholar... seems to be a powerful character!
