Chapter 642: First Meeting with Li Changjie

"Li Changjie, a minister of the lower country, meets His Royal Highness King Yue!" I saw a white-haired old man walk into the living room, and immediately saluted Zhao Yanshen, although he tried his best to show that he was very deferential, but the murderous aura on his body could not be concealed, this is the temperament that a military general has cultivated after many years of fighting, even if he is a eunuch.

Zhao Yan was also seriously looking at Li Changjie in front of him at this time, although the other party had committed countless crimes against the Great Song Dynasty in history, but he also had to admit one thing, that is, the other party was an excellent general, if it weren't for the weak national strength of Jiaozhi, Guo Kui would not have defeated the other party so easily last time.

"Li Changjie, didn't this king ask Li Rizun to come to see me in person, why did you come?" Zhao Yan deliberately didn't even stand up, and he didn't let him calm down, and then took a sip of tea to himself, he was deliberately trying to make things difficult this time, the more he was overbearing and arrogant, the more scruples he had about Da Song, which would also give him more time to prepare.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue forgives his sins, my king heard that His Royal Highness is coming, and originally wanted to come to see His Highness in person, but when he was leaving, he suddenly fell ill, and now he is still resting in bed, and he is really unable to travel far, so he sent his ministers to come on his behalf in desperation, and I hope that King Yue will be magnanimous!" Regarding Zhao Yan's neglect, Li Changjie did not look angry at all, but said very respectfully again.

Of course, Zhao Yan wouldn't believe the nonsense that Li Rizun was sick, but he knew that the other party would not come, so he didn't care too much about this matter, and asked Li Changjie to stand up at the moment, but he still didn't let him sit down, and then asked sharply again: "Someone from your Jiaozhi actually went to my deep-water port in the Great Song Dynasty to collect taxes, how should you explain this matter?" ”

"King Qiyue, we are also very wronged in this matter, because we didn't know about it in advance. Which tax official is obsessed with money, and privately brought people to the deep-water port to collect taxes, so my king was also very angry when he knew about this matter, and he had already killed the official. Li Changjie said and waved his hand. The entourage behind him immediately stepped forward, holding a box in his hand, and waited until the entourage opened it, revealing the human head inside, which was the Jiaozhi official who was let go by Zhao Yan before, it was really ridiculous to say, he escaped from Zhao Yan's hands, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of his own people in the end.

Seeing this head, Zhao Yan couldn't help but show a sneer on his face. I saw him stride forward and slap over the box containing the human head, only to see the human head roll on the ground a few times, and just happened to fall at Li Changjie's feet, and then I saw Zhao Yan step forward again and walk up to Li Changjie and said sharply: "Li Changjie, this king respects you as a smart person, but I didn't expect your monarchs and ministers to dare to tease this king like this!" ”

"Where did King Yue come from, Jiaozhi and his Royal Highness King Yue are very respectful, where do you dare to have any teasing heart?" Li Changjie said with a sincere look of fear at this time. In fact, the remarks he made just now were all set by Li Rizun, and he didn't agree with it very much. Because he thought that this would anger Zhao Yan, but it was a pity that the king's fate could not be disobeyed, and now he could only rely on himself to improvise.

"Humph! Revere? From the very beginning, Li Rizun pretended to be sick to this king, and now he is taking the head of a small person to take all the blame down, isn't this teasing this king? Zhao Yan didn't want to debunk Li Rizun's pretending to be sick, but now he sees that the other party is doing it too obviously. It seems that Da Song is very easy to fool, which makes him angry and debunks the other party's lies.

"King Yue is angry, my king is indeed sick, and as for the collection of taxes, it is indeed the private work of this official, and it really has nothing to do with me!" Li Changjie did not panic when he heard Zhao Yan expose his lies. Because this was expected by him a long time ago, and since he had already spoken it, he could only hold on.

"It seems that you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, last time my Great Song magnanimously let you go, and only asked for some money and land, but I didn't expect you to take revenge and take the kindness of my Great Song Dynasty as weakness, since this is the case, then let's see you on the battlefield, this king will personally lead the troops this time, go to Shenglong Mansion to see if Li Rizun is sick!" Zhao Yan flicked his sleeves as he spoke, turned around and was about to leave, looking really like a prince who was quite unreasonable and only knew how to use force.

However, Zhao Yan's set is also what Li Changjie is most afraid of, because he knows that Zhao Yan is very famous in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also highly valued by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Yan didn't really want to start a war with Jiaozhi now, he decided that Jiaozhi didn't dare to tear his face with Da Song now, so he was so determined, and now seeing Li Changjie anxiously stopping himself, he stopped and turned his head and said angrily: "What else do you have to say, is it possible that you still want to make this king believe in your ridiculous explanations?" ”

"King Yue is angry, the ministers do have something wrong to say, but now there are some villains around my king, constantly encouraging my king to go against the Great Song Dynasty, although my king has never had the idea of being an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, but sometimes it is inevitable to be bewitched, so he will do some foolish things, but the minister will definitely persuade my king after going back this time, and there will never be a previous thing to collect taxes in the deep-water port!" Li Changjie finally said a few words of truth at this time.

However, Li Changjie's words can't be fully believed, for example, it is not someone else who really wants to test the Great Song Dynasty, but Li Rizun himself, as a proud king, Li Rizun has always been obsessed with the fact that he was almost destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, so after accumulating strength for several years, he can't wait to be ashamed, if it weren't for Li Changjie who has been persuading him to calm down, I'm afraid Jiaozhi would have sent troops to the deep-water port a long time ago.

Hearing Li Changjie's words, Zhao Yan finally turned around and looked at him, and then sneered and said: "Although your words are a little untrue, but this king will believe you, but Jiaozhi has been too dishonest in the past two years, if you don't restrain yourself, then don't blame this king for being polite!" ”

"Your Royal Highness King Yue, rest assured, the villain will definitely do his best to dissuade my king after he goes back, and he will definitely not find out about this incident again!" Li Changjie first breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Yan's words, and then assured him for the second time, but he didn't have a bottom in his heart, because since the last defeat, he was gradually not trusted in front of Li Rizun.

Zhao Yan originally wanted to use this matter to knock Jiaozhi, but now he suddenly discovered something interesting, so he immediately spoke again: "Li Changjie, this king used to hear that you were very trusted in front of Li Rizun, but now it seems that your situation is not very good!" ”

"What does King Yue mean?" Li Changjie saw that Zhao Yan suddenly pulled the topic to himself, and he couldn't react for a while, and looked up at Zhao Yan before he opened his mouth and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that this king thought of your words just now, although I don't know who made you say this, but I definitely didn't have any good intentions, because according to your words, it will definitely anger this king, and maybe even let this king kill you directly, and even if this king doesn't kill you, if this makes this king angry and sends an army, I'm afraid you will not be able to escape the responsibility in the end." Zhao Yan suddenly smiled at this time and said, he also just thought of this, it is said that with Li Rizun's wisdom, it is impossible not to think of this, but he still sent Li Changjie here, so the purpose is very intriguing.

Li Changjie was also stunned when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he never thought that Li Rizun would want to get rid of himself, so although he felt that Li Rizun's words to him were a little inappropriate, but he never thought about it, but now after Zhao Yan's reminder, he also immediately woke up, which also made him feel a pain in his heart, because he asked himself to serve the country wholeheartedly, and he never had any selfish intentions, although since the defeat he and Li Rizun have some discord on the issue of treating the Great Song Dynasty, But he never expected that because of this incident, Li Rizun would kill him.

Zhao Yan saw the painful expression on Li Changjie's face, and he was more sure of his guess, and at the same time, he was happy in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be discord between the monarch and the minister in Jiaozhi, and let Li Rizun kill Li Changjie, which is a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no Li Changjie, it will be easier for the Great Song Dynasty to use troops against Jiaozhi in the future. Even Zhao Yan still has some extravagant hopes at this time, it is best for Li Changjie to return to China and rebel immediately after knowing about this incident, so as to make a mess of Jiaozhi, and then the Great Song Dynasty will reap the benefits of the fisherman, which is the best result.

However, Li Changjie is not an ordinary person after all, and the pain on his face also disappeared in a flash, and then he saluted Zhao Yan and said: "His Royal Highness King Yue is too careful, my king may be a little inconsiderate, but that is also because he was in a panic, and the villain didn't think there was anything wrong!" ”

Seeing that Li Changjie did not attack on the spot, but spoke for Li Rizun, this made Zhao Yan a little disappointed, because he was still thinking just now, if Li Changjie was against him, he could also secretly fund the other party, after all, his strength was much worse than Li Rizun, but with his own funding, Li Changjie would have a very lively fight with Li Rizun, but he didn't expect Li Changjie to show any dissatisfaction at all, and he didn't know if he was really loyal or didn't want to lose his temper in front of Zhao Yan, an outsider?

However, Zhao Yan was still a little unwilling, and at the moment he used words to provoke Li Changjie a few words, but unfortunately the other party was unmoved, this time Zhao Yan had to die, and then asked the other party about the situation, hoping to ask for some useful information, but unfortunately Li Changjie's tone was very tight, Zhao Yan asked and asked and finally found nothing, which made him can't help but scold the other party in his heart for being an old fox, and even talking is so leaky, but now that Li Rizun has murderous intentions towards Li Changjie, Then he just has to wait and watch the show.
