Chapter 518: To Ask or Not to Ask (Fourth Update)
I broke it yesterday, and I made it up today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the sake of Cangshan being so diligent, a new week is coming soon, asking for all kinds of tickets, asking for all kinds of rewards!!
――――――――
In the next few days, it will be time for Wu Yu to show his talents.
Don't look at Wu Yu's boldness, but what do you want to divide, it is also an iron mouth that has made Western Xia and fought barbarians, where is Xiao Guhun, the prime minister who became a monk halfway, his opponent?
After three talks and two talks, in the end, Xiao Guhun realized that it seemed that except for the one million annual gift, he didn't take advantage of anything else?
For example, the Liao people initially wanted to share taxes with the Great Song Dynasty in Laizhou, but let Wu Yu go back.
The tax money is divided among you, so why do you rent it to me in the Great Song Dynasty? To put it bluntly, isn't it over to grab money? Just pull Tang Yi to cut off his head, what else is it to give him the steps?
So, it didn't work out......
On that day, Xiao Guhun proposed again that the Song people could not repair the city in Laizhou, after all, this was the land of Daliao. And he is also planning that when the two countries collapse, he can still say that he will fight back.
Wu Yu did not directly oppose this.
If we don't rebuild the city, we'll repair it on the original site, right? You see, the city wall in Laizhou is less than a zhang high, and it will collapse as soon as you lean on it, so it's not too much to repair, right?
Xiao Guhun pondered it too. So it was promised that it could be repaired, but the construction period could not exceed one year.
He was afraid that the time would be too long, and the Great Song Dynasty would build the city too high, and it would be difficult to fight. It would be good to be able to build a rammed earth low wall in a year, and even a stone city wall could not be built.
"Okay!" Wu Yu happily agreed directly.
A year? He knew what the efficiency of Tang Yi's engineering team for repairing the Tongji Canal and the Songliao Avenue was. Not to mention a year, in half a year, those people can build Laizhou City as tall as the Kaifeng city wall.
......
Finally, there is the question of the garrison.
The Liao people were not unreasonable enough not to let the Great Song garrison, but there were restrictions.
In this regard, Wu Yu discussed with Tang Yi, and Tang Yi was not unavoidable.
It is certain to limit the garrison, otherwise, if we pull 100,000 troops to stay in the city, then Laizhou will not have to do anything, and Daliao will not have to do anything, just to prevent the Song army under his nose is enough for him to toss.
Tang Yi's purpose is to erode soft power, so it is important to reassure the Liao people of the Great Song Dynasty. The border can be deterred, but when you come to the state and the mouth of the Liaohe River, you must not attract attention.
Therefore, the two sides quarreled, and in the end, the number of garrisons in Laizhou and Liaohe Estuary was set at the number of 1,000 each.
Everything is negotiated, just wait for Tang Yi to bring the contract back to the big country, and Zhao Zhen will cover the jade seal to take effect.
As for Da Liao's side......
Yelu Hongji is here, and he has signed it early, just waiting for Emperor Song's approval.
Tang Yi also clearly told Yelu Hongji that I am still towards His Majesty, and I will definitely agree. As long as our side is finished, when Da Liao finishes handling local affairs and sends officials to hand over the matter, when the officials and generals of our Great Song Dynasty will come to the state with the million, together with this year's New Year's coin.
......
When Yelu Hongji heard that when he would hand over and when he would give the money, he couldn't wait to send Laizhou out on the same day, urging Tang Yi to get out of the country quickly.
Tang Yi didn't grind with him either, and set a return date.
On the day of his departure, Yelu Hongji unexpectedly came to see him off.
Boarding the Song ship again, although there was less anxiety when he first came, Yelu Hongji was a little deeper than that day......
"Your Majesty doesn't have to come in person, but Yi is a little flattered."
Tang Yi didn't call him "big brother".
"Zihao, you're welcome! Once acquainted, it is appropriate to say goodbye to the deceased. ”
Yelu Hongji is not called "Brother Tang".
Tang Yi pulled the corners of his mouth and looked at Wu Yu and Xiao Guhun.
"Can the two prime ministers retire for a while and let me be alone with Your Majesty for a while?"
Wu Yu didn't speak, and left silently, while Xiao Guhun looked at Yelu Hongji inquiringly.
"Let's go down first."
......
In an instant, only Tang Yi and Yelu Hongji were left on the deck.
Tang Yi walked to the bow of the boat, looked at the sea and the sky from afar, did not speak, and only waited for Yelu Hongji to speak first.
That's right, he wants to be alone, not because he has something to say to Yeluhongki, but because he sees that Yeluhongji has something to say to him.
Yelu Hongji walked to the bow of the ship and stood side by side with Tang Yi, "I hope that you and I will never see each other again." ”
Tang Yi smiled, "I hope to see Your Majesty again, it will be a different opportunity." ”
Yelu Hongji glanced at Tang Yi, "I still say the same thing, if it weren't for the difference in position, I would be willing to hand over your brother!" ”
"Oh?" Tang Yi was suspicious. "Didn't Your Majesty hate me to the bone?"
"Hate!" Yelu Hongji said bluntly. "I hate it very much!"
"But...... Zihao is an interesting person, and it is difficult to meet again. ”
Tang Yi said: "No way, who let us each be our masters?" ”
Yelu Hongji choked, "I am the Lord!" ”
Tang Yi shook his head, "You're not...... My lord is the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the Han people. ”
"And Your Majesty seems to be the master, but in fact he is a slave, your master...... It's the mighty imperial power! ”
Yelu Hongji pondered, this was the first time he took Tang Yi's words seriously and took it seriously.
Tang Yi sighed secretly, he didn't understand.
I didn't want to dwell on this issue, "Just ask, I know you've been holding back for so many days, and I'm here to ask today." ”
Yelu Hongji was stunned, stood for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "Xiao Guanyin...... Is it death? Is it alive? ”
Master Tang smiled lightly, "If I were Your Majesty, even if she was really alive, she would be considered dead!" ”
Turning to look directly at Yelu Hongji, "If I were Your Majesty, even if everyone doubted that she was alive, they would ...... it."
"She's dead!"
......
"Alas......"
Yelu Hongji sighed gloomily, "In this matter, I lost to you!" ”
Tang Yi is right, this is his Yelu Hongji's shame, if he is alive, he has to treat her as if she is dead, and ask what to do?
"There's nothing that wins or loses." Tang Yi is surprisingly sincere.
To be honest, if there was no Brother Xiao Qiao, there was no difference between Song and Liao, he really liked this straight-hearted Emperor of Da Liao.
It's cute......
"I'll ask you one last thing!"
"Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"You just want Yelu Chongyuan to replace me?"
"No, ......" Tang Yi's face was still sincere.
"I want you to win."
――――――――
On the return trip, Tang Yi's fleet did not go straight to Dengzhou, but went south along the coastline and stopped at the Ning River.
Ninghe was placed in later generations, which is the location a little north of Tianjin, and now belongs to the Great Liao Nanjing Road, which is under the rule of Yelu Chongyuan.
Suffering from diving on the beach of the Ning River, the big ship could not dock, and Tang Yi could only wait at sea.
After waiting for two days, I finally saw a small boat out of the mouth of the Ning River and headed for the big boat.
Tang Yi stood at the bow of the boat, holding a book in his hand, looking at the approaching Liao boat in a daze.
There was Jerod on that ship......
And the booklet in his hand is the process of wool degreasing.
Even if he made up his mind to give him this thing, Tang Yi was still a little reluctant when it came to the end.
