Chapter 437: One Soft and One Hard (For '?) Flying Flowers' plus more)
"Cochin Emissary?"
Shen An was looking at the ledger, and Wang Tiande on the side was explaining the data.
Zhuang said honestly: "Looking at the black and thin black and thin, what is it called Li Bai." ”
"Interesting!"
Shen An closed the ledger and said, "I'll see later, you're over there...... Anyway, you can buy some perfume over there, right? ”
Wang Tiande held up his big belly, his eyes flashed, and said: "They are newly defeated, if they are coerced to buy ......"
This is the face of imperialism!
Isn't that what those imperialisms will look like in the future: my brother has goods to sell to you, and you can't buy them?
I don't buy it!
Don't buy?
Very well, brothers, pound him!
Later, Shen An went to the front yard.
Li Bai has been thinking about Shen An.
From the mouth of the defeated army, he learned that the man was a civilian official, but he personally rushed to kill him.
From the people who bought the natives, he learned that Shen An had built a Jingguan.
Of course the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty will not be like this!
So after seeing Shen An, his first reaction was that he was so young.
"I've seen the edict."
He felt that Shen An would have a cold face, so he was ready to meet the scolding.
"It's ...... What about tea? ”
Shen An pointed to the empty small table and said angrily, "Where's the tea?" ”
Zhuang Laoshi appeared immediately, and said with low eyebrows: "Lang Jun, the water at home hasn't boiled yet!" ”
"Rubbish!"
Shen An scolded: "This is a distinguished guest! Why not hurry up? ”
Zhuang Laoshi hurriedly pleaded guilty, and then said that he would go to the fire himself.
"The family is poor!"
Shen An sat down and sighed: "This edict is waiting for a certain edict, and the annual salary is so much, but for the sake of decency, there is still some waste at home, hey!" It's a tough day! ”
This is......
From the time he set off to the present, Li Bai has made countless predictions about today's atmosphere in his heart, but such Shen An is not in his prediction.
"To be edicted ......"
He felt that Shen An was asking for bribes, but he thought about it and felt that it was impossible, so he said tentatively: "I brought some gifts on this trip......
Shen An's eyes rolled, just looking at the empty ground.
What about gifts?
He...... He actually asked for bribes?
Li Bai's eyes widened, and he felt that he had lived the first half of his life to a dog.
This is the rumored Demon King?
That murderous demon king, he's asking me for a bribe?
Pull Nima Tan!
Did someone read it wrong, or did those people lie about the military situation?
Shen An didn't get a response, so he snorted.
Li Bai swore that Shen An's eyes were full of greed and anger.
He subconsciously shouted, "Bring things in." ”
Naturally, he had to bring gifts when he came to the door, but he felt that Shen An would not accept them, so he left them outside.
Later, Chen Luo came in with two Jiaozhi people.
A bag was placed on the table, which Li Bai himself opened, and inside was some precious stones and other things.
Shen An said lightly: "Take it." ”
Chen Luo took the burden away, and after he went out, Shen An suddenly asked, "What does Li Rizun mean?" ”
Li Bai said solemnly: "That's His Majesty the Emperor of my Dynasty!" ”
"Mu Monkey and Crown!"
Shen An suddenly turned his face, as if what he had just taken away was not a bribe, but a pile of manure.
Li Bai didn't expect him to turn his face like a book, and he couldn't help but be a little at a loss for a while, so he asked, "What does Shen Zhizhao mean by this?" ”
"Cochin invaded Guangnan West Road, can it be confirmed?"
Li Bai's eyes were full of anger, and he said, "That's a mistake...... It is a rebel who falsely proclaims His Majesty's will......"
Shen An smiled slightly, "What about the traitor?" ”
I'm just making excuses, and you're really asking?
Shen An, who did not play cards according to common sense, made Li Bai confused, and he forced a smile: "It has been seized, and I will kill him when I turn around." ”
He wailed in his heart: I have to go to the letter country as soon as I turn back, so that they can find a scapegoat to slaughter.
Shen An sighed, "That's good, that's good!" ”
He said with a gloomy expression: "Da Song has always been close to Jiaozhi like brothers, but this time something unbearable happened, and Da Song suffered heavy losses......"
You're bragging about the pen!
This time it's our cochin that loses a lot, okay?
Li Bai remembered the shock caused by the messenger when he rushed into the palace, and after learning that more than 20,000 elite soldiers were lost, Li Rizun almost didn't catch it in one breath, but fortunately, someone on the side poured hot tea, which was better.
"Yes, the traitor's sin is unforgivable!"
Li Bai gritted his teeth and said.
"yes!"
Shen An said seemingly casually: "There are people in the DPRK who have suggestions...... It is said that the city is respectful, but it is weak, if it is convenient, you can take the waterway and the city...... For example, sell some weapons to them...... Or send some troops...... You know, there are too many soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, redundant soldiers! The court had a headache about this, and thought that the people who came to Zhancheng would be willing to help the Great Song Dynasty raise some soldiers. ”
Since the establishment of the Li Dynasty, the days of Zhancheng have been worse day by day, which can be called the misfortune of three lives, and the evil neighbor of Jiaozhi has been struggling.
If Da Song is willing to send troops to help, it will be the turn of Jiaozhi to have a headache.
Li Bai's face remained unchanged, and he said: "The sea journey costs a lot! ”
Shen An said with a smile: "After this battle on the West Road of Guangnan, some people suggested that they would train troops locally and train 50,000 elite soldiers...... Sea, land...... What do you think? ”
Two-way attack, how about the one on the sea to explode your chrysanthemum?
Li Bai's heart tightened, and Shen An mended the knife and said, "If your envoy doesn't believe it, you can ask it...... The powerful ministers of Western Xia did not hide the death of Pang, and Li Liangzuo came to power, and he wanted to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty......"
This is an external condition.
The Great Song Dynasty has no external troubles in the north for the time being, how about concentrating on Jiaozhi?
The idea is scary!
Li Baiqiang said with a smile: "My country has always been respectful to the Great Song Dynasty...... This time I came here to explain the misunderstanding......"
Shen An shook his head and said: "The explanation is not enough, the Great Song Dynasty sent more than 10,000 troops this time, and it cost a lot of ......."
This is the red fruit to be compensated.
This was expected by the ministers of Jiaozhi.
They didn't want to compensate, but when they learned that the Great Song Dynasty only sent more than 10,000 troops and killed more than 20,000 of their elite soldiers, the monarchs and ministers were sluggish.
The combat effectiveness shown by the Great Song during Nong Zhigao's rebellion was frustrating, and at the same time, it also stimulated Jiaozhi's ambitions.
Countless histories have proved that there are many reasons for foreign invasions, but in the final analysis, there is only one: you are too weak to fight your brother.
The neighbor has money, but he can't fight, so can I beat him up and rob him of his money?
Absolutely!
This is the bandit logic, which has been enshrined by countless countries.
Li Bai figured out this truth, but he was still a little lucky, so he said: "Thank you for taking the time to see you, and I will ask you to see His Majesty the Great Song Dynasty when I turn around." ”
This is because I think Zhao Zhen's side will be merciful and exempt them from compensation.
Shen An said disapprovingly: "That's fine." ”
Li Bai had just gone out on the front foot, and the people from the Imperial City Division came out from the back of the main hall.
"Thank you for the convenience."
From the moment Li Bai entered the city, he was under the attention of the Imperial City Division, and his every move would be watched.
"Take those bribes back."
Those gems were worth a lot of money, but Shen An abandoned them like a shoe, and the spy couldn't help asking, "Since the edict disdains these things, why did you accept them before?" ”
This is a very polite remark, and it stands to reason that he should have asked you why you were asking for a bribe.
Shen An looked outside with his hands and said: "This is just a means of negotiation, first let him relax and despise him, and then denounce the crime of Jiaozhi vigorously, as soon as he loosens and tightens, Li Bai is naturally at a loss......
"Is that so?"
The secret agent arched his hand and said with admiration: "The villain has learned his skills today, and he will be wise!" ”
He went all the way back to the Imperial City Division and told what he had just seen and heard.
"Where would he take bribes!"
Zhang Bannian naturally didn't believe that Shen An would accept bribes, so after pondering it, he nodded and said, "This kind of means must be thorough in people's hearts...... At the beginning, he asked Zhao Zhongjun to ponder people's hearts and human nature, which was prescient! ”
Someone next to him asked: "You know, the official family looks like they are going to agree to take the clan into the palace, who do you think it will be?" ”
Zhang Bannian shook his head and said, "We are from the official family, don't guess such things...... Also, Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang made a bet on the matter of the Jiaozhi envoy and put the news over. ”
……
Han Qi has been proud of the spring breeze recently, and he got his first glass of wine today, so his spirit is not good.
When he was done with his business, he went out for a walk.
Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu were walking outside, and when they saw him come out, they bowed slightly.
The three of them walked together, whispered about this year's harvest, and before they knew it, they turned to the left.
“…… The cochin messenger came out with a smile on his face, and it looked like something good had happened......"
Zeng Gongliang glanced at Han Qi with a slight sideways face.
You said that the Jiaozhi envoy would be provoked by Shen An......
Han Qi's face turned pale, and he shouted, "Who is talking?" ”
Whoosh, and it was empty.
Han Qi turned around and said angrily, "What did Shen An and the Jiaozhi envoy say?" He wasn't in a position to promise...... If the messenger of tomorrow wants good...... Then the old man is welcome! ”
Zeng Gongliang won once, and he was secretly proud in his heart, so he said pretly: "Why should Prime Minister Han worry about such a trivial matter. ”
Little fart!
A fierce glint flashed in Han Qi's eyes, thinking that after the word spreads, everyone should see the old man's jokes.
If you want to be the prime minister, you have to have the ability, and analyzing the intentions and attitudes of the messengers is a kind of ability.
But Han Qi's analysis was wrong, and it was a bit embarrassing.
He bears the hand; "The Jiaozhi envoy will definitely complain, and by the way, he will ask for benefits, and tomorrow you will stick to the bottom line with the old man, and at most re-allow them to trade......"
The trade war is the best weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, and once it is used, it can be called a weapon of mass destruction.
Zeng Gong nodded in response, the southwest has never been the main direction of the Great Song Dynasty, and peace is good.
……
The next morning, the messenger of Jiaozhi really asked to see him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Li Bai had not yet come, Han Qi said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, this Jiaozhi has suffered heavy losses, and the minister thinks that in recent years, they will definitely not dare to attack the southwest again, so today at least let them bow their heads and admit their mistakes...... If not...... Then cut off trade. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded, but his expression was a little faint, and he seemed to be full of confidence.
Han Qi was curious, but this was not the occasion to ask, so he had to suppress the curiosity in his heart.
Later, Li Bai came in and first explained that the 'rebels' led the 'rebels' to cross the border to harass the Great Song Dynasty, and then asked for the resumption of trade.
He discussed with his entourage for a long time last night, and felt that Shen An was just a small Hanlin waiting for the edict and could not affect the court situation, so yesterday's words were probably threats.
- Emperor Song scolded at most, let's ask for another sin, and the goods brought can be sold at a good price!
He made these calculations very clearly, and as long as he succeeded, he would be rewarded when he returned.
So he looked up very confidently......
Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Zhancheng is very loyal to the Great Song Dynasty......
The ministers were surprised, and they didn't know what the officials were talking about.
But Li Bai's face changed greatly, and he said in a gaffe: "Your Majesty, occupy the city and dominate ......."
……
The monthly pass ranking is miserable...... Ask for support.
The third update is sent, and today's update ends.
