Chapter 215: White Stripes
"What are you crying about?" Wanxi asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Han Lang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer.
What is he crying about? Why is it so sad? Is it just because it's too unpalatable? Or is it because you feel wronged? Or do you think of your sister and mother, and you maintain yourself?
However, his sister didn't protect him before, why did he take it for granted?
Han Lang couldn't figure it out, he just felt very uncomfortable, probably because he had eaten too much sand, and he felt that his throat was clogged in a panic, and the place on his chest was like being hurt by sand.
"Only the most useless people are afraid of their enemies and lose their temper with those closest to them. Because they know that those close to them will not hurt themselves. Wanxi said word by word, looking very indifferent.
Han Lang's cry paused, and he hurriedly looked up at Wanxi, anxiously trying to defend himself, but he couldn't say a word.
"What's wrong with Lang'er?" Shi Jiao'e followed the voice and looked at Han Lang who was squatting on the ground with some anxiety, but did not help him up as before.
"The second prince just ......" Wanxi replied slowly, but her eyes kept staring at Han Lang.
"I'm fine! It's okay! Han Lang suddenly felt weak for a while, and he especially didn't want his mother to know what he had done. He quickly got up, grabbed the hem of Wanxi's clothes, and then looked up at her with a pleading face.
"The second prince just fell." Wanxi paused slightly, and then said calmly.
When Han Lang heard Wanxi speak again, he was flustered, and after hearing what she said, he calmed down again.
"I'm fine!" Han Lang let go of Wanxi, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then ran into the house with a "puff", turning around and shouting as he ran: "Go back to sleep!" ”
It's like a wolf chasing after him, and he runs away as if he was flying.
Wanxi looked at his small figure who fled in the wilderness, and rarely curved the corners of her mouth.
"Lang'er, what's wrong?" Shi Jiao'e was a little dazed, but there were also some surprises. Lang'er just behaved like a normal child.
"The second prince has grown up." Wanxi smiled, but didn't say anything about the situation just now.
She promised the second prince, and she would definitely do it. She will wait for the second prince to change by himself, when he can face it calmly, and then tell the queen about it in person.
But in her opinion, the second prince has really grown up and is sensible. That's why we will learn to be considerate of others, instead of blindly being willful and taking others' efforts for granted.
……
The Imperial Palace of Dashun.
Han Xiu summoned Zhang Li to the imperial study.
"Zhang Aiqing, I have a way to redeem the city, but this matter still needs you to make another trip." The corners of Han Xiu's mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a hint of imperceptible pride in his eyes.
"What does the emperor plan to use to redeem the city?" Zhang Li lowered his head and covered the disdain in his eyes. After selling his wife and children, what does he want to sell this time? It won't be to send a beauty to Chu Yang and let Chu Yang return the city to him, right?
"I asked people to count the ornaments in the palace, as well as the calligraphy and paintings in the inner library, in addition to some embroidered screens. Combined, these things are not enough to redeem three cities, but one city is still enough. ”
Han Xiu didn't like calligraphy and painting, nor did he like those flashy embroideries, and he especially looked down on the ornaments in the palace. He had already ordered that every corner of the palace be inventoried, and that all the ornaments should be removed.
"This ...... The emperor plans to exchange only one city? What should we do with the remaining cities? Just let the Northern Jin Dynasty stay stationed in the south of the river? Zhang Li's heart tightened, and he raised his head in surprise.
"For the remaining cities, I'm going to fight white. Tell the soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty that I will pay tribute to the Northern Jin Dynasty in the future, and I will pay tribute for ten consecutive years according to the specifications of this time. The corners of Han Xiu's mouth were filled with a smile, as long as Chu Yang didn't come back, he didn't believe that the soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty could resist this temptation.
With hostages and tribute, Dashun became a small subsidiary of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
People, they are most afraid of greed. As long as there is greed, it is equivalent to having weakness, which can be taken advantage of.
Han Xiu took advantage of the greatest weakness of the people's hearts and the greed of the Northern Jin Dynasty soldiers to redeem the occupied city at the smallest cost.
"The emperor really wants to pay tribute to the Northern Jin Dynasty? That's like a subordinate! Zhang Li looked up in shock, unable to believe his ears.
"I said that it was a white strip, how could it really be a tribute! Let's get all the cities back first! ”
As for the redemption, what will happen when the tribute is paid next year?
This is not what Han Xiu has to think about - it's a big deal, he doesn't admit anything, he doesn't give anything, what else can he do when he sees the Northern Jin Dynasty? You can't call it back, can you?
At this time, Han Xiu had completely forgotten that his wife and children were still hostages in the Northern Jin Dynasty. If he really cheats and repents, Shi Jiao'e and the child will become a punching bag.
However, even if he remembers, nothing will change.
After all, in Han Xiu's eyes, as long as there is a woman, there is no worry about not being able to give birth to a son! Moreover, Shi Jiao'e was born a cheap seed, he had long wanted to die!
