Chapter 1765: The Dust Has Settled
Song Chongjin was very calm: "It's just some gossip, if you really take it seriously to explain or deny it, wouldn't it make people suspect that there are ghosts?" Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, I can sit upright, let them say it! I am loyal to the court and to Your Majesty, and I have a clear conscience! ”
Saying this, Song Chongjin didn't lower his voice, but was listened to by the people around him, and it didn't take long for it to spread among the officials in the negotiation team.
For a while, this official was also divided into several factions.
One faction felt that this opening of the trade road was first proposed by Song Chongjin, and it could not be said that he and the queen of the grassland should cooperate with the outside world, and this opening of the trade road could not be said to be to pave the way for Song Chongjin, increase his capital, and let him seek benefits.
Everyone knows that after the opening of this business road, it will be a source of money. If you want to come to Song Chongjin and the grassland to make money, and then you can help Song Chongjin's official fortune prosper, it is like killing two birds with one stone!
What is for the country and the people, but for their own selfish interests! It's just a shame!
There is also a faction that thinks that even if Song Chongjin and Queen Ayan of the grassland are relatives, so what? Lord Song's move is indispensable for the benefit of the country and the people. Can't it be that people are dedicated to Da Chu and say that they moved the grassland to make today's move?
Besides, didn't the mad dog Prince Bayar of the grassland try to propose to build a provincial annex for Queen Na Ayan that day, but was rejected by Lord Song on the spot? If Lord Song is not loyal to the court, if he talks about it in the middle, it will be done!
It can be seen that Lord Song is not half selfish! He worked hard for the country, the people and the court, and finally succeeded in this negotiation. Can't go up on your own? It's too ugly to eat!
Doesn't it make them feel cold?
There is also a neutral faction, but they feel that no matter what, Song Chongjin has made a great contribution this time, and there is no evidence that Song Chongjin colluded with the grassland. You can't just throw any dirty water on people's heads just because they are old relatives of Queen Ayan of the grassland, right?
Don't forget! Song Chongjin is first of all a native of Great Chu and the prince of Weiguo! Who knows what kind of relative the queen can't beat with eight poles?
Not to mention, the documents of the two countries will be signed tomorrow, and the matter is not yet a foregone conclusion, Da Chu listened to a few words from the grassland, and he was so suspicious of Song Chongjin, didn't it make the grassland see the joke?
If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!
Do you know that it was not deliberate on the grassland side, but it just wanted to cause civil strife on the side of Dachu?
Therefore, they unanimously feel that no matter what happens on the grassland, anyway, Dachu can't be messed up and can't be fooled.
What is it, naturally there is a decision of His Majesty today, and it is not their turn to take care of it, right?
In addition, Qin Bohan also quickly expressed his attitude, and let Song Chongjin be responsible for the credentials that need to be signed tomorrow, and the terms on it were all reviewed by Song Chongjin for the final review, and almost Qin Bohan signed it in the end, and the rest was arranged by Song Chongjin.
supported Song Chongjin so clearly, no one had the courage to object, at most he only slandered a few words in his heart.
Afterwards, Qin Bohan also called Song Chongjin aside alone and comforted him a few words, to the effect that he could rest assured that the matter of opening a business road was brought up by him, but the pros and cons were also considered by His Majesty in many ways.
What's more, he also knew that after the opening of the trade route, it was His Majesty who benefited the most.
If nothing else, the taxes of those caravans, as well as some invisible income, will be handed over to His Majesty.
The rest is to be used as military salaries and to reduce the pressure on the state treasury.
I also know that Song Chongjin did not make a profit from it as those people guessed.
It is clear that he has made great contributions, but he has to bear the infamy, and the things that make the hearts of heroes are cold, His Majesty can't do it.
Let him not take it to heart, just let it go, he naturally supports Song Chongjin!
When the time comes, when he returns to the capital, he will be there, and it will be Song Chongjin's credit, and others will not want to snatch Yunyun.
Song Chongjin was very indifferent, only saying that he had a clear conscience, and he dared to propose to open a business road, and he had thought through all the consequences.
It's just that I didn't know that Queen Ah Yan had an old relationship with me at the time, but such a major event naturally would not have any changes because of a so-called relative who had never met.
Now just waiting for the national credentials to be signed, he will be able to retire and return to Chicheng County to continue to be his Chicheng County Commander.
Qin Bohan was not surprised to see Song Chongjin so pampered, and his heart became more and more appreciative.
But I didn't know that Song Chongjin knew it very well, he was too popular, and he did such a big thing, plus his background, the emperor may not have no pimples in his heart.
It's better to have such a stain, let people attack and rape, so that the emperor can rest assured.
Everyone had their own intention not to mention it until the next day.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, both sides had smiles on their faces, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
The negotiation place also swept away the solemnity and coldness of the past, the ground was laid with a red carpet, and even the gate was hung with a few red lanterns, and a few red silk cloths were wrapped around the pillars, which looked joyful.
Even Prince Bayar, who had always been domineering and had eyes on the top of his head, barely managed to squeeze out a cruel smile to match the performance of both sides at the moment.
In a friendly, peaceful, and solemn atmosphere, the two countries signed a treaty.
The treaty was made in four copies, two in Chinese characters and two in grassland script.
The chief and deputy envoys of the two sides first signed their names, and then invited the seals of the two kings to solemnly cover them.
Then the two sides took a copy of the treaty in different languages and deposited it, which can be regarded as a complete and complete sentence.
Just wait for the spring of the next year, which starts from Chicheng County, passes through Yunzhong County, and then passes through the frontier, enters the grassland, passes through the hinterland of the grassland, and arrives at the country within a country in the Western Regions - the country of overturning.
However, this is all an afterthought, at this moment, for both sides, at least a few months of hard work, more than a few years of hard work, finally have a successful result, is a thing worth celebrating.
Both sides are prepared.
Coupled with the beauty of the sky, it is difficult to get the sun, although there is a wind blowing, but for the Saibei people and the grassland people, this is already extremely rare.
A bonfire had already been set up outside, and cattle and sheep came over from the grassland, and a few were slaughtered on the spot, and they were roasting on the fire.
And Da Chu's side was not to be outdone, not only brought the food from Da Chu's side, but also brought fine wine.
Half a day has passed, and the fragrance from outside has already wafted into the house, and everyone can't help it.
Qin Bohan smiled and said cheerfully: "A rare good day, although you can't get drunk and don't return, it's also worth floating, let's celebrate today-"
He also made a gesture of please, asking Batu to taste the wine of Da Chu.
On the grassland side, at the beginning, Song Chongjin let them taste the wine of Da Chu, and after arousing their gluttony, he was very despicable.
Let those prairie men scratch their hearts and lungs for a long time.
Now that I heard about drinking, the wine worms in my stomach couldn't suppress it, and they whined one by one and rushed outside.
A huge tent has been erected outside, and the aroma of wine, delicacies and barbecue is full of inside, even the gods can't stand steady when they smell it.
Everyone's rare relaxation, the enemies who are facing each other on weekdays, are rarely sitting together peacefully at this moment, occasionally clinking glasses, and then drinking dry.
Even Qin Bohan was also pulled aside by Batu, and although the two were quite restrained, they were also poured several cups by officials on both sides.
Not to mention Song Chongjin, as soon as he entered the tent, he was targeted by the little prince of Nabayar, and brought a cadre of people to take turns to pour wine, and there was a posture that Song Chongjin would be drunk today so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Who is Song Chongjin? He had already prepared, plus Wang Yongzhu had prepared hangover pills for him, and he had swallowed one before, and he was very experienced, so when he entered the tent, he first found a few things to eat and padd his stomach first.
Therefore, even if Bayar brought people to the wheel war, he was not afraid at all, and he did not refuse to come.
