Chapter 391
Chapter 391 Bargaining
When Keshi came to Wei Zhongxian's house, Wei Zhongxian was having lunch. The table was filled with delicacies and delicacies, and the show was no less than that of the emperor. There was also a Japanese man at the same table, Tokugawa Hidetaka with a sword. Keshi didn't need anyone to report it, and led a dozen eunuchs and palace maids straight in.
Wei Zhongxian heard a noise and saw a group of people breaking in. He was unhappy and thought to himself: Who is so bold? When he saw clearly it was Keshi, he immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at her coldly in his walking. Although Hidetaka Tokugawa did not recognize Keshi, he had heard of it. Seeing that the beautiful woman who broke in, he had guessed seven or eight points in his heart. Wei Zhongxian frowned: "So it's Mrs. Fengsheng, what's the matter?" When Keshi saw Wei Zhongxian eating, he said in a deep voice: "Mrs. I have something to discuss with you!" Hidetaka Tokugawa
Tadao looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Is this the Fengsheng Lady of the Ming Dynasty?" Wei Zhongxian nodded. Tokugawa Hidetaka hurriedly stood up and bowed to Keshi: "I have been to Tokugawa Hidetaka to pay homage to the Fengsheng Lady, I have heard of my husband's name for a long time. I have been lucky to see him today." As the saying goes, I don't wear any flattery. Tokugawa Hidetaka's two words said, Keshi was very happy and said, "It turns out that it is Tokugawa General from Japan, and my wife has also admired Daemon for a long time." Tokugawa Hidetaka nodded politely and said, "Madam, please sit down." Wei Zhongxian said, "Show you see the lady!"
Keshi sat down and looked around the hall. Seeing slaves everywhere, he said bluntly: "This is not a place to talk." Wei Zhongxian drank a glass of wine and said, "What is it? I asked my wife to go there in person!" Keshi said, "It's what you mentioned to me the day before yesterday. Do you think it's very important?" Wei Zhongxian put down the cup and said seriously: "It's really important, but aren't you unwilling to help?" Keshi smiled and said, "I've changed my mind now, can't it?" Wei Zhongxian looked at Tokugawa Hidehatsu and turned his head again: "Okay, let's go to the secret room to discuss." After that, he stood up and walked quickly to the back room. Tokugawa Hidehatsu immediately followed. Keshi did not go to the secret room at Wei Zhongxian's house, Keshi had not gone once or twice, and ordered the slaves behind him to wait outside and followed him in.
The secret room is behind a wall in Wei Zhongxian's bedroom. In fact, it is not very secretive, mainly because the sound insulation effect is better. When Keshi entered, Wei Zhongxian and Tokugawa Hidetaka were already waiting inside. Wei Zhongxian said to Keshi: "General Tokugawa is his own person, so what can I say in front of him?"
Keshi said, "Since that's the case, I will open the skylight and say something. I have considered what you begged me the day before yesterday. I think it's more difficult. I can help you, but there are conditions." Wei Zhongxian sneered, "Oh, Madam, there are conditions. I don't know what the conditions are?" Keshi was silent for a moment and said word by word: "I want three million taels!" Wei Zhongxian was probably too surprised and couldn't help but shocked all over: "What, three million taels, I heard it right, what I promised you was one million taels, when did it become three million taels?"
Keshi said, "You haven't heard that you said too little, so I added another two million taels." Wei Zhongxian's face showed anger: "Madam is too much?!" Keshi said, "Because you begged me too much!" Wei Zhongxian said, "Madam may have misunderstood, that's just a very ordinary little thing!" Keshi said, "I don't think it's so ordinary. Anyone who has something to do with Prince Anping is not a trivial matter. You know, Xiao Yizi's little thing is not that easy to deal with!" Wei Zhongxian's face darkened: "But three million taels are too much!" Keshi said, "It doesn't matter. If you think it's too much, then just pretend I haven't come and say goodbye." He stood up and left.
Tokugawa Hidetaka was listening, and at this time he couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?" Wei Zhongxian said, "It's what you begged me!" Tokugawa Hidetaka's eyebrows stood up: "Madam is willing to agree?" Wei Zhongxian said, "I agreed, but her price is a little too high, she needs three million taels. I wonder if General Tokugawa can agree to this price!" Tokugawa Hidetaka turned his head and said to Keshi, "Madam's price is indeed a little too high!" Keshi said with a smile: "Mrs. I have no intention of coercing the general. If the general thinks it is too high, you can refuse!"
Tokugawa Hidetachi pondered for a moment and said, "This, we can discuss again. Can the wife lower the price a little!" Keshi said, "As a general in Japan, you won't be able to take out a mere three million taels. For the general, this should not be a big deal!" Tokugawa Hidetachi said, "Originally, three million taels were not a big deal, but now Japan is in war, and there are ruins everywhere. At this time, our lives are not easy." Keshi smiled and said, "But the general should know that if you get the support of the Ming Dynasty, you can quell the rebellion soon. At that time, you will know that the only three million taels are worth it!" Tokugawa Hidetachi pondered without saying a word.
Wei Zhongxian said: "How about two million taels? The price is fair. Don't go too far!" Keshi said: "My wife has said that it must be three million taels. Since Eunuch Wei and General Tokugawa are so embarrassed, I don't think we need to continue talking about it anymore. This matter is given up! Maybe my father-in-law can do it alone!" Wei Zhongxian sneered: "My wife is right. Maybe I can complete this matter alone, so that General Tokugawa can have a large amount of silver left." Keshi felt cold when she saw Wei Zhongxian's attitude so firm, and stood up and walked out.
"Slow down!" Wei Zhongxian also stood up and said, "Madam, don't be too impatient, this matter can still be discussed." Keshi said without looking back: "Didn't you just say that you can do it alone?" Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Just just now I was just joking with my wife, why should I take it seriously!" Tokugawa Hidetachi also stood up and said, "That's right, that's right, just joking, let's sit down and talk slowly, and talk slowly."
The attitudes of Wei Zhongxian and Tokugawa Hidetaka greatly encouraged Ke Shi's arrogance. Ke Shi was originally unsure, but now she began to believe Yi Tusheng's words. She was also a smart person. She seized the opportunity and said fiercely: "There is nothing to talk about. Three million taels, one tael cannot be missed!" Wei Zhongxian and Tokugawa Hidetaka looked at each other, and Tokugawa Hidetaka said slowly: "Then can the wife guarantee that things will succeed!"
"Ha, of course I can't guarantee this matter. This is the emperor's affairs, and I don't have the final say." Keshi said.
"Then, isn't the three million taels worth it?" Tokugawa Hidetachi said. Keshi said, "The general is doing big things, why bother to delay the great cause of unifying Japan for a mere three million taels? I think the general should focus on the overall situation and be serious." This made Tokugawa Hidetachi feel very reasonable, and nodded and said, "Madam is right, and does big things without paying attention to the details. I can promise you three million taels, please help me complete the great cause!"
Unexpectedly, Keshi actually stretched out a hand and said, "Then, bring the silver!" Tokugawa Hidetachi said in surprise: "What silver, Madam wants it now?" Wei Zhongxian said, "It's not too late to give it to it after the matter is done!" Keshi sneered, "I have already said just now. My wife cannot guarantee that this matter will succeed, so she must give it to it now!"
