Chapter 322: Negotiating with the King of Nanyue
The male general who was being greeted saw that it was really Zhuang Mingyue, and there was a sneering look in his eyes.
But the sneer he showed was only for a moment, and then he saw him also bow his hand and replied: "It turned out to be Zhuang Junshi, and I really haven't thought about it for a long time since I left the battlefield, I don't know where Zhuang Junshi went after that night?" ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who was categorically impossible to tell the truth, still kept smiling, and responded half-truthfully: "It's time to ask General Nan this time." ”
General Nan, who didn't know what Zhuang Mingyue meant, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Ask me?" Why do you have to ask me about Master Zhuang's itinerary? ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who was smiling, slowly said with an extremely calm demeanor: "Naturally, it's time to ask General Nan, dare to ask where General Nan took my Second Prince of Tiansheng to?" ”
Hearing this, General Nan also fainted a little from the smile on his lips, and the vigilance in his eyes suddenly surged up.
"What does Master Zhuang mean? His Royal Highness, the second prince of your country, should naturally be in the palace of your country, and it seems a little funny that Master Zhuang came to my Nanyue to ask me like this? ”
General Nan, who was not smiling, stared at Zhuang Mingyue's eyes tightly, wanting to see something from her face.
And Zhuang Mingyue, who had already been prepared, could not be frightened by his scrutinizing gaze.
I saw that she was not only not frightened, but still maintained that smiling attitude, "General Nan doesn't have to be so vigilant, since I dare to come to Nanyue to inquire this time, I naturally know that His Royal Highness Tiansheng II is a guest in the Nanyue Dynasty, why don't General Nan take me to see Your Majesty?" ”
Hearing this, General Nan's brows immediately furrowed, and his eyes were full of suspicion, "Master Zhuang, now this is South Vietnam, and it is definitely not a place where you can play tricks, if you let me know......"
Without waiting for General Nan to finish speaking, Zhuang Mingyue decisively intercepted the threatening words, "General Nan can rest assured, this time I came to South Vietnam alone, in order to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries, naturally I will not do the so-called tricks in your mouth." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who still had that faint smile and seemed to care about nothing, was full of calm, as if she didn't care about the threatening words of the Southern General in front of her.
And General Nan, who had been cut off from threatening words, looked at Zhuang Mingyue in front of him with a deep expression that made him feel unpredictable.
In the end, he still narrowed his eyes lightly, "Since Zhuang Junshi understands, the general will not say more, but Zhuang Junshi must not forget ......"
General Nan, who said this, lightly pursed the corners of his lips and showed an extremely dangerous smile, "Don't forget what you said today, if you let me know, and let the military commander of the village bear the consequences, when you came to live in South Vietnam recently, I will fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
After listening to these words, what else would Zhuang Mingyue not understand?
All this is just General Nan's means, saying that he is doing the friendship of the landlord, but in fact, he wants to put her in a place where he can see and watch, but if she does anything out of the ordinary, then the consequences can be imagined.
And Zhuang Mingyue, who really has a mind in her heart, still smiles
nodded, "Naturally, when the time comes, it will be at the disposal of General Nan." It's just that now I have to be the general of Mannan to lead me to meet with the king. ”
After another threatening reminder, General Nan saw that Zhuang Mingyue was still extremely calm and indifferent, and the warning in his eyes was also concealed by him.
Walking in front and leading Zhuang Mingyue to the direction of the palace where the King of Nanyue is now located.
Looking at the buildings around that were obviously not as magnificent as the Tiansheng Dynasty, Zhuang Mingyue also faintly understood in her heart why the king of Nanyue would go against this friendship when the two countries were in friendly diplomatic relations.
But whoever sits on that high throne, ambition is naturally self-evident. And in the midst of this, if thou seeest in other places, there are other kings whose realms are not only wider than thyrs, but even the palaces where l dwelt are far more luxurious and grand than thee.
How could this possibly make a person on the throne comfortable, and above that, it would cause ambition to swell.
In addition, there is still this Holy Fire Cult between the two countries, which is making a hindrance in it.
All this is condensed together, and Zhuang Mingyue can somewhat understand why this king of Nanyue suddenly violated the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries and chose the way of meeting each other in arms.
During the time that Zhuang Mingyue was thinking, General Nanan soon led her to the imperial study of the King of Nanyue.
With General Nan's briefing, Zhuang Mingyue got the news that he was allowed to meet after a few breaths.
Zhuang Mingyue, who honestly followed behind General Nan, came to the King of Nanyue with the negotiation documents she had quietly forged in her hand, and bowed her hands to him, "The villain sees His Majesty the King of Nan." ”
Because Zhuang Mingyue is now coming as an envoy of the Tiansheng Dynasty, she doesn't need to kneel down and salute, she just needs to bow her hand.
"Lord Zhuang is exempt." Although the current king of Nanyue has viciously gnawed several mouthfuls of meat from Tiansheng's body, this gift on the surface is better than Zhuang Mingyue.
Zhuang Mingyue, who couldn't feel the slightest malice at all, raised her body when she heard the words and looked at the King of Nanyue, who was younger than Emperor Tiansheng, and said again with a smile on her lips: "The villain has just come to the territory of His Majesty the King of Nan, if there is anything offended, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
The King of Nanyue, whose eyes were full of smiles, waved his hand quite kindly, "Naturally, the reputation of the Zhuang military division This king has learned a lot from the mouths of the generals, and now it is the honor of this king to be able to meet the military division." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who could hear this, only felt that her eyelids were lightly flattered by the king of Nanyue.
And after hearing this, before Zhuang Mingyue could respond, he saw the eunuch outside the door walk in, "Your Majesty, when you heard that Tiansheng's envoy was coming, you have come to ask for a meeting. ”
Hearing this, the smile on the face of the king of Nanyue became even more obvious, "It just so happens that the envoy of this village wants to discuss matters with this king, so let all Aiqing come in together." ”
With the words of the king of Nanyue, the eunuch who passed the message had just walked out for a while, and saw groups of ministers walking in one after another outside the door.
And before each of them walked in, they would first look at Zhuang Mingyue from top to bottom with their eyes, and then salute the king of Nanyue.
The king of Nanyue neither stopped nor said anything about their actions, but only asked the ministers to sit down and participate with him.
If it was an ordinary person, not to mention under the scrutiny of so many ministers, just before she came in, under the threat of General Nan, if she didn't have a little courage, I am afraid that she would already be frightened in her heart.
Coupled with today's scrutiny, I am afraid that people's psychological security will be completely shattered.
For a negotiator, if his heart has been completely disturbed by the other party, and even has a fear of the other party, he is afraid that he will really be caught in his trap by the other party, and he does not know it.
But Zhuang Mingyue thinks that as a person of the twentieth century, she has already experienced many large and small negotiations in this kind of scene alone, so naturally she will not be destroyed by the other party because of this.
Zhuang Mingyue, who still had a shallow smile on her face, responded silently in the face of every minister who looked at her from head to toe.
Although General Nan had dealt with Zhuang Mingyue, he didn't think there was anything strange about her extremely calm and even able to respond to everyone with a smile.
But the other ministers who had never been in contact with Zhuang Mingyue were far different from this Southern General.
In the Tiansheng Dynasty, the case of a woman like Zhuang Mingyue entering the court as an official is something that is unheard of, let alone letting a weak woman go to the battlefield to be a military advisor.
And now this strange woman not only appeared alive in front of them, but even came to South Vietnam alone to negotiate with them as an envoy representing the Tiansheng Dynasty.
And he was able to deal with their scrutiny very calmly, not only did he not show the slightest fear or other superfluous looks, but he only maintained that smile that made them not see what they were thinking.
It was precisely because of Zhuang Mingyue's actions that the people in the imperial study suddenly deepened their understanding of Zhuang Mingyue again.
After the ministers sat down in all directions, the prince of Nanyue didn't say anything superfluous, and directly talked to Zhuang Mingyue about the conditions for the armistice between the two countries.
After the king of Nanyue finished his words, Zhuang Mingyue understood.
It turned out that before she came to South Vietnam, Tiansheng had really sent a letter for negotiation.
And in that news, Tien Thanh was willing to let South Vietnam take the initiative to mention the conditions of their armistice.
It's just that because the letter was not too far away from the time when Zhuang Mingyue came, the king of Nanyue at that time had not clearly understood the conditions.
coincided with the arrival of Zhuang Mingyue this time, and the king of Nanyue was obviously a picture, and he had already clearly figured out the conditions for the armistice. And it is precisely because of this that I have never doubted the authenticity of Zhuang Mingyue's sudden arrival.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was a little cold in the bottom of her heart, still had that smile on her face that made people unable to find faults, "Your Majesty means that as long as my king is willing to cede five Jiangnan cities and pay 30,000 taels of gold to South Vietnam, he can stop fighting and restore friendly diplomatic relations?" ”
