Chapter 7: Confrontation (3)
Standing on both sides, the messenger Yingying stepped forward, giving a salute, wearing a voice, shining eyes, and a beautiful woman with a living color.
But seeing the woman Shuangshi crossed her chest, she made a strange gesture, and then raised her arms slightly, and then spread them out, speaking in a language that Duan Ye did not understand, while the envoy's entourage all showed pious expressions. Obviously, this is a local custom. I guess it's a ceremony to meet a noble person.
Lu Guang and the others also respected their customs, led everyone down the high platform to greet them, and stood there one by one with solemn manners, until the woman saluted again, and then got up, speaking fluent official dialect, and said: "The king of Qiuzi has long admired the majesty of the Heavenly Dynasty, and today he knows that the Great Qin Scattered Cavalry Standing Attendant, the Governor Yumen has been in the western military, and the general of Anxi and the captain of the Western Regions, Lord Lu, hunted here, and specially ordered the jade to come to meet the governor, and offered ten pairs of Kunlun jade, a pearl of the Peacock River, and a piece of golden jade clothes, to work the fatigue of the expedition of the army of the Heavenly Dynasty. ”
After that, the entourage took the gift from the camel, and Lu Guang did not refuse, and after talking about the friendship between the two sides, he asked the clerk to accept the gift and register it. The two sides saluted as if they were courteous, and then invited the envoy Jiangyu and a few henchmen to the high platform to talk, while the rest of the people had their own quartermasters to take them to eat and drink.
Even if Lu Guang and the others were sinicized, there were not so many routines to welcome guests, so they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with receiving the envoy on the high platform, and they also arranged a few table dishes. After a pleasant greeting, the two sides took their seats and met on this high platform.
The two sides exchanged politeness, but Jiang Yu spoke first, and said: "The Metropolitan Governor has been deep in the quicksand for several years, and his prestige is famous in the Western Regions. Qiuci has admired the civilization of Middle-earth for 500 years, the children are proud of their wives and sons of the Han family, and the family is proud of the Han family's several cases. ”
"Since you are a subordinate of my Great Qin Domain, why are you closed and not allowed to enter or exit? Why is my Daqin businessman's tax several times that of others? Why did my Great Qin envoy die in Qiuzi? Lu Guang asked with a straight face.
Jiangyu replied unhurriedly: "Dadu Governor Mingjian, the closure of the pass is only because the King of Chechnya and the King of Shule have ill intentions, and want to lure Tuguhun Yifu into the Western Regions. If the army arrives today, presumably they will not dare to do any more lawless things, and the turtles will be able to switch and release the appeasement, so that the merchants will not be hindered. ”
"As for taxes." Jiang Yu paused, "My king has always been a figure of the Celestial Dynasty, how dare he pay heavy taxes?" The storage records over the years are still there, and Jiangyu should send someone to the governor to see it. As for the tax collectors in various places, there are occasional lawlessness and extortion, but it is difficult to stop it, but this is definitely not the intention of my king, my king will crack down on corruption and punish evil, and in the future, he should also give tax reductions to the merchants of the Celestial Empire. As for the murder of the envoy of the Celestial Empire, Jiang Yu also heard about it. This is the work of Yifu, the human and material evidence is there, and the murderer has been captured by my king, but please let the governor decide. ”
Gee. Duan Ye secretly praised in his heart. This chick looks hot and innocent at the same time, with a big chest and no brain, but I didn't expect that what she said was reasonable, and what she said in diplomatic rhetoric was that she didn't leak, which was really amazing. Therefore, the eyes that looked at the jade became more and more obscene.
After Jiang Yu finished speaking in one breath, she was about to rest for a moment to deal with Lu Guang's next questioning, but she didn't expect that the annoying man just now was still staring at her, as if his eyes could penetrate his clothes, and he couldn't help but throw him a roll of his eyes, wanting to warn him, but he didn't expect that the man who looked like a scholar actually raised his eyebrows. In the eyes of outsiders, it's like flirting. Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart.
"Still. Ben received the king's commandment, but it had to have a beginning and an end. Lu Guang said slowly. This is tantamount to rejection.
"According to what Jiangyu heard, the Son of Heaven ordered the governor to take care of Enhuaiyuan, clear the Western Regions, and make sure that the Western Regions are as obedient as the story of the Han Dynasty. Now that Qiuzi is attached to the Celestial Empire, why do you need to work hard and pay for it? Ayama said slyly.
"Alright." Lu Guang was not engaged in a battle of words, raised a finger, and said: "There is only one choice for Qiuzi, the silk is pure to enter the court; The monarchs of the past dynasties of Qiuzi must be canonized by our Great Qin; The prince is a proton; New Year's coins. ”
"My king is a little sick now. Moreover, since the vassal guards the border for the Son of Heaven, and the edict of the Son of Heaven arrives, he must enter the Hajj. As for the prince as a hostage, of course, all the sons of my king admire the Han culture and want to study in the Central Plains, but they can't ask for it. As for the time of canonization and the year coin, I have been the same for all generations. ”
Duan Ye almost burst out laughing. This chick is slick and seems to have agreed to everything, but in fact there is no dry goods at all. Waiting for Fu Jian's edict, it is clear that it is delay. The prince being a hostage is also a no-brainer. Silk Chun doesn't enter the court, just send a son who is not favored, and you can't do anything about him. As for canonization, it has to be canonized in person to be useful, and you still have to enter the court. Year's coins? These small countries in the Western Regions bring some local products to exchange for silk tea, and they are embarrassed to call it New Year's coins?
But everyone here is a human spirit, who can't hear this trick? Lu Guang was not polite, and said lightly: "Your Majesty once had a secret edict, giving this governor the envoy to hold the festival, and the affairs of the Western Regions can be exclusively levied for the exclusive power, and the matter of silk entering the court is also determined by Your Majesty." If the jade girl is willing, the golden book is available, and she can set off tomorrow. Presumably, when King Qiuzi arrived in Gyeonggi, my Heavenly King's million-strong army had already captured the Jin Kingdom, and the class had returned to the dynasty. ”
Duan Ye didn't have any concept, but he was depressed, and the bald Wei Tan and the others looked dazed. The general's expedition has to be made clear to the world. Generally speaking, there is no festival, which means that the generals only have military tasks. However, once the festival is maintained, it means that there is the right to make arbitrary decisions, and both military and civil affairs can be responsible. There are also different grades of sections, representing different powers, so that the holding section is the top, the holding section is secondary, and the false section is the bottom. The envoy shall kill less than 2,000 stones; If you kill a person without an official position, if you are military, you must be the same as the envoy; False festivals are only military to kill those who violate military orders.
What Lu Guang received was an envoy, which meant that he could take on all the things in the Western Regions, and he was completely endorsed by Fu Jian. But the paradox is that since Fu Jian trusted Lu Guang so much, he didn't announce it when he set out on the expedition, but Lu Guang announced it at the critical moment, what does this mean?
Everyone began to think happily, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and this is the truth. If the superior person makes a casual move, the people below have to figure it out, lest they misjudge the upper intentions. In many cases, in fact, the superior does not have so many considerations, but the people below go to reverie by themselves, and the more they think about it, the more outrageous it becomes.
This is the magic of power!
Jiangyu's face was also a little ugly. In diplomatic work, intelligence is too important. And this time, no one in Qiuzi City knew that Lu Guang was still holding the festival. If there is no festival, although Lu Guang is in charge of the military, he can't make decisions about many things alone, and the civil and military officials below can still have an explanation. Besides, there is also that Liangzhou Thorn Shi Liang Xi...... That disgusting man! Now, a lot of things have to be re-planned. Information asymmetry, then you will suffer a big loss. And some losses, small countries and widows, that are unaffordable!
