Chapter 448: Lobbying
Zhou Ting, the subordinate of the sect, had already hurriedly caught up, and on the jade steps, he saw Mahazang and Gusa Heiyun walking away one after the other, and hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "Prince Maha, go slowly, go slowly, and wait a minute!" He was also over half a hundred years old, and he ran down the jade steps panting, almost stumbling and falling, but Mahazang seemed to have made up his mind and did not stay.
Finally catching up from behind, Zhou Ting had already bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Prince Maha, are you going back to the Tongren Pavilion to rest?" ”
Seeing that Zhou Ting was in front of him, Mahazang finally stopped, frowned, and said, "This prince is leaving Luo'an tonight!" ”
"Is the prince too presumptuous?" Zhou Ting also frowned and said: "You and I are in the process of negotiating peace, and we have not yet reached a final agreement, does Prince Maha want to give up halfway?" ”
Gusa Heiyun had already sneered: "Give up halfway? This lord, tonight's events, everyone can see clearly, my prince of Daxiliang almost died at your state banquet, I want to ask, who don't want to continue the peace talks, is it us, or you? ”
Zhou Ting smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, you naturally know that my Great Qin Emperor His Majesty was almost assassinated tonight, and these assassins have nothing to do with my Great Qin Imperial Court, but for another reason." ”
"When my Daxi Liang mission enters the territory of the Qin State, it should be protected by the Qin State." Gusa Heiyun said with an unkind expression: "Now that you have been stabbed in the palace of the Qin State, can you get rid of the relationship with the Great Qin Imperial Court?" The Qin people are cunning, your conspiracy, we don't want to think about it, for us, seeing is believing, everything is where our own eyes are, you Great Qin Palace, can you let the assassins come and go at will? ”
Zhou Ting sighed: "Two envoys, this is indeed our dereliction of duty. It was the duty of the Honglu Temple to hold the state banquet tonight, and the Honglu Temple was in charge of the matter, but he was seriously derelict in his duties, and was deceived by the Assassins, who were also extremely cunning, so they took advantage of it. Now Zhao Xuan of Honglu Temple has been on the spot. Fa, the assassin has also been captured either dead, His Majesty the Emperor has made a decree to interrogate immediately, and will definitely give you Xiliang an explanation. ”
At this time, many ministers were already close to him, and suddenly heard Zhou Ting say that Zhao Xuan, the secretary of Honglu Temple, had been on the spot. Fa, they were all taken aback.
Gusa Heiyun shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the fact that my eldest prince, Jiren Tianxiang, who was protected by the Buddha and had been killed by assassins, if the prince was really killed, what was the use of all your explanations and explanations?" ”
Mahazang's expression was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "No need to say more, dodge!" Raising his hand, he was about to push Zhou Ting away.
At this moment, I heard a person next to me already say: "Prince Maha really wants to leave Beijing tonight?" ”
The voice suddenly sounded, and everyone followed the sound, but saw that the person who spoke was Chu Huan, and no one noticed when Chu Huan came, at this moment he looked calm, his hands were in the sleeves of his robe, with a very comfortable posture, and a pair of eyes were staring at Mahazang, and the ancient water had no waves.
Mahazang glanced at Chu Huan, a hint of hesitation crossed his eyes, and asked, "Are you trying to persuade me to stay?" ”
"It's not!" Chu Huan smiled and said, "On the contrary, if Prince Maha really wants to leave, I want to send you away!" ”
The ministers suddenly changed color, and Zhou Ting had already said coldly: "Chu Huan, you are crazy, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Zhou Nayan, the lower officials are not talking nonsense. Prince Maha represents Xiliang, and even he doesn't take Xiliang to heart, so why are we worried about him? Since he is leaving, let's beat the gongs and drums to see him off, why bother asking him to stay? ”
Zhou Ting was about to reprimand, but Mahazang was quite strange and asked, "Lord Chu, what do you mean by this?" Why didn't Prince Ben take Xiliang to heart? Although he looks very rough on the outside, he is not a stupid person, he is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, and when he heard what Chu Huan said, he couldn't help but be curious.
Chu Huan was teasing Guan Zi and asked, "Prince Maha really wants to know?" ”
"Naturally!" Mahazang nodded.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "If the prince really wants to know, then don't be impatient and listen to me carefully." After a pause, he asked, "Chu Huan dares to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, how long is the journey from your Qingluo King City to my Great Qin Luo'an Jing?" ”
Gusa's black cloud eyes showed a look of vigilance when he was neutral, and Mahazang groaned slightly, and finally said: "Thousands of miles away is naturally a lot. ”
"Thousands of miles away." Chu Huan sighed: "All the way to the mountains and rivers, hardships and hardships, it must be very difficult for Prince Maha to lead the Xiliang delegation to my Great Qin Luo'anjing." ”
Gusa Heiyun immediately said, "That's nature. I came all the way to the Qin State, but I didn't expect that you, the Qin State, would treat my prince of Daxi Liang like this! ”
"After a long journey, a lot of hardships, coming to my capital of Great Qin, of course the two of you will not just come over to take a look, let alone come over to have a big fight." Chu Huan's expression became solemn: "If it weren't for the heavy responsibility entrusted by the Western Liang Kingdom, you would not have come to my Luo'anjing without fear of hardships." ”
Mahazang's thick eyebrows tightened slightly, as if he understood what Chu Huan meant, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, we came here to negotiate peace sincerely, but ...... What Qin has done has disappointed us very much! ”
"What happened tonight, Chu Huan is actually very regretful." Chu Huan said with a straight face: "The two envoys don't want to see it, and I, Daqin, naturally don't want to see it either." Prince Maha, you are also a smart person, who did it behind the scenes of tonight's assassination, the Holy One has sent someone to investigate, but the purpose of the assassin, we are all very clear in our hearts, if the prince is killed tonight, the consequence will be that you and I will no longer be able to reach a peace agreement, this point, Prince Maha will not deny? ”
Mahazang thought about it for a while, he knew that Chu Huan's words were not false, and nodded slightly.
"But the prince should also see that since His Majesty the Emperor, I, Great Qin, have been very sincere about peace talks." Chu Huan said slowly: "If I have no intention of negotiating with you Xiliang, it is impossible for the Holy Lord to spend energy to contact you, let alone set up a banquet in the palace to entertain you. So you should also know that the people behind tonight's assassination are, of course, not related to our Great Qin Imperial Court! ”
Mahazang didn't speak, but Gusa Heiyun had already said: "Who knows if this is if your Qin State wants to cover up and deliberately lay a trap to hurt our Prince Xiliang?" ”
When Chu Huan heard this, he already laughed.
Mahazang frowned, and Gusa Heiyun was even more annoyed: "What are you laughing at? ”
"Spending all this effort to harm you?" Chu Huan said leisurely: "Lord Deputy Envoy, you also look down on yourself too much. With a blank expression, he said coldly: "If we want to kill you in Great Qin, you don't have any lives or arrive in the capital, from the northwest to the capital, it is also nearly a thousand miles away, if you really want to kill you, you have not yet entered the Xigu Pass, and you have already displayed your corpses outside the Pass." Staring at Mahazang's eyes, he said, "Prince Maha, Chu Huan admits that you are a warrior of Xiliang, but you ask yourself, if you really want to kill you, how much can you resist alone, ten, twenty, fifty, or hundred?" Or maybe it's a thousand? ”
Gusa Heiyun finally said: "Even if it wasn't planned by your Great Qin Imperial Court, but His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated in the Imperial Palace, your Great Qin Imperial Court will not be able to get rid of it after all!" ”
"That's why the Holy One has sent someone to investigate quickly." Chu Huan said: "Prince Maha, the assassins assassinated you, Chu Mou, may I ask, are these assassins your enemies?" ”
Mahazang's fists tightened, and he said sharply: "Naturally! ”
"Good!" Chu Huan smiled and said: "The purpose of the assassin's assassination was originally to sabotage the peace between you and me, the prince turned evil into good fortune, and the assassins' purpose had already failed, but now the prince is angry, but he wants to leave Luo'anjing and return to Xiliang overnight, so the peace talks between you and me will fall apart, may I ask whether the ultimate goal of the assassin is failure or success?" ”
Mahazang was stunned and speechless for a while, and Gusa Heiyun also frowned.
Chu Huan continued: "The assassins have worked hard and failed, their plan to spend a lot of effort has already failed, but the prince left tonight, but instead let their goal be achieved. Since those assassins were the prince's enemies, and the prince was leaving now, didn't he play into the hands of those people and greatly help them? When the prince took the step of Luo Anjing, I am afraid that the people behind the assassination of the prince will laugh and rejoice. Raise his hand and point to the northwest: "The prince came to Luo'anjing, shouldering the heavy trust of millions of people in Xiliang, leaving like this, it is undeniable that my Daqin has some regrets, but in comparison, you Xiliang may be even more disappointed, since the prince ignores the trust of Xiliang and resolutely wants to leave, our Daqin will naturally not be strong, since the prince is welcome when he enters Beijing, then the prince wants to leave, Chu Huan is willing to do his part to send the prince out of the city!" As soon as he raised his hand, he made a gesture and said: "The prince is wise, if you are willing to fall for the assassin's strategy and do something that is happy for your relatives and enemies, then please ask the prince to leave, you and I will prepare for war, will hunt the northwest, and who will kill the deer, but it is not yet known!" ”
The surrounding ministers heard Chu Huan's ingenious persuasion to Mahazang, and they all immediately looked at each other, Chu Huan's words did not have the slightest flattery, but they hit the key point, and even unnaturally, gave great pressure to the Xiliang people.
Zhou Ting was still a little annoyed when he saw Chu Huan come out at first, but he only felt that Chu Huan came out to talk nonsense on such an occasion, it was really not light or heavy, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.
But at this moment, when Chu Huan finished speaking, he saw that Mahazang, who had already made up his mind, showed hesitation, knowing that Chu Huan's words had played a great role, and he lost no time in saying: "Prince Maha, this peace talk, for you and me, is the best time to turn hostility into friendship. You and I are neighbors, and we should be friendly for generations, and if Chen Bing is facing each other and blood is shedding, it will not be a blessing for you and me. And this time someone is deliberately sabotaging the peace talks between you and me behind the scenes, who is behind the scenes to do these things, it remains to be investigated, Daqin and Xiliang, that is a big country with tens of millions of people, if it is played by some small people who use carving insect skills, it is really a big joke, the prince is wise, please think twice! ”
Mahazang closed his eyes and was silent, Gusa Heiyun didn't speak for a while, and the ministers of Great Qin were even more silent, and there was silence for a while, Chu Huan was calm and calm, looking at Mahazang quietly.
After a while, Mahazang finally opened his eyes and looked at Chu Huan, and actually smiled: "Chu Huan, it is really a big mistake that the Emperor of Qin did not send you to participate in the peace negotiation, but I can send you to Xiliang, I think the agreement between the two countries will definitely be reached." He said in a deep voice: "This king will stay for three more days, within three days, for tonight's assassination, you have to give this king an explanation, and the matters on the negotiation table also need to come up with results, this prince can wait, but I Xiliang tens of millions of people and 100,000 iron horsemen in the northwest can no longer wait!" Without further words, he strode away, and Gusa Black Cloud followed closely behind and left together.
Zhou Ting breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the back of Mahazang in the distance, and finally thought of something, turned his head, looked at Chu Huan, bowed his head slightly, although he didn't say anything, but the meaning of praise was self-evident-
