Chapter XV: Debate

Winter turns to spring, and the willow tree sprouts.

The envoy sent by King Xianbei arrived in the capital of Great Wei on a soft March day.

There were only more than 20 people from the Xianbei Mission, all of whom were big men, with high noses and deep eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes. They still wore Xianbei fur clothes, long knives and daggers embedded with precious stones pinned to their waists, and their whole chests were bulging.

Such a lively thing, Chang Runzhi was also fortunate to come to "take a look".

The atmosphere of Dawei is open, and it is common for women to go out, and women can be seen everywhere on the bustling streets. If it is summer, the foreign girls show their small waists, smooth arms, and slender necks, which are more eye-catching.

It's only early spring, and there's no girl dressed like that.

Chang Runzhi was hard-pulled by her naughty fourth brother Chang Ou.

After nesting all winter, Aunt Qian finally lifted the ban on Chang Ou and allowed him to go out to play. Chang Ou specially pulled Chang Runzhi out of the door for this reason, one to express his gratitude, and the other did not mean to let Chang Runzhi be a shield for him.

Chang Runzhi knew Chang Ou's careful thoughts, but he didn't poke him.

Fortunately, the old lady was also understanding, saying that she would definitely be bored after staying for a winter, and allowed her to go out for a day to relax and relax, and she could also see for a long time.

Chang Runzhi's heart is slightly warm.

Even if the old lady wanted to use her marriage to obtain some benefits, she did not completely ignore her feelings. In this regard, Chang Runzhi actually knows enough.

If you can have both, why not?

On the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, Chang Runzhi ordered a private room, and she was sitting by the window drinking tea at this time.

The Xianbei delegation had already walked over, and Chang Ou, who was lying by the window, was still admiring.

"Third sister, why are they so tall! Third sister, why are they so strong? Third sister, why are the clothes they are wearing all fur! Third Sister ......"

Chang Runzhi listened to his questions, occasionally answered him, and saw that he was still lying by the window, and couldn't help but say: "Everyone is gone, what are you still looking at there?" ”

Chang Ou turned around and grinned: "They're gone, but the people down there are still talking, I'll listen to what they say." ”

Chang Runzhi smiled, thought about it, left the box, and asked Chang Ou to go to the lobby with her and asked for a pot of tea.

"There are a lot of people in the lobby, and they talk very loudly, you can hear enough."

Chang Runzhi held a tea cup to warm his hands, while Chang Ou pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

The lobby of the Drunken Immortal Building is already full, and whether they recognize each other or not, they have a lot to say about the arrival of the Xianbei Mission.

You talked about it sentence by sentence, and gradually talked about the relationship between Xianbei and Dawei.

Someone was indignant: "Every few years, our Great Wei has to fight with Xianbei, and every time after the war, regardless of whether we win or lose, we have to give Xianbei grain cloth, why can't Xianbei be destroyed!" It also saves you from paying a lot of money every time for something inferior. ”

There are radical ones, and naturally there are moderate ones.

"How can we do such a barbaric thing when we come to the Great Wei Dynasty?"

In this way, the people in the lobby were divided into two factions on this issue, and the debate was endless.

Chang Runzhi listened interestingly, people on both sides said very reasonably, the debate atmosphere was very warm, and the debaters on both sides were really good.

Chang Ou also listened carefully, and when he was tired of listening, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Chang Runzhi: "Third sister, which side do you think is right?" ”

Chang Runzhi smiled.

This kind of question between ethnic groups has never been so easy to answer.

"Third sister?"

Seeing that Chang Runzhi was silent, Chang Ou couldn't help but pull her sleeve.

Chang Runzhi looked at him helplessly and said, "There is a truth, but whether to fight or not to fight, in fact, the root is in Xianbei." ”

Chang Ou was puzzled, and Chang Runzhi said: "This is a little idea of the third sister, I just talk about it, you just listen to it." ”

Chang Ou nodded hurriedly.

"From the current point of view, the Holy Lord does not want to raise troops to the outside world. In other words, from the perspective of Great Wei, the saint did not want to fight. Chang Runzhi said softly: "In other words, as long as Xianbei does not invade Great Wei, Great Wei will not fight Xianbei first." That's why I said, to fight or not to fight, the root is in Xianbei. ”

"It's not good to fight." Chang Ou frowned and pouted: "People will die if they fight." ”

Chang Runzhi touched his head: "Xiao Si's heart is really soft. ”

"Third sister, can you not fight?"

"Yes." Chang Run's way: "Unless Xianbei fights a war, it's just for food and cloth, and nothing else." ”

"Other?" Chang Ou didn't understand.

Chang Runzhi paused and said softly: "For example, the ambition is in the Central Plains or something." ”

Chang Ou suddenly gasped.

"They dare!"

While speaking, Chang Ou slapped the table and wanted to stand up.

Chang Runzhi hurriedly comforted him: "Don't get excited, didn't you just say that you can listen to it casually?" ”

Chang Ou sat down again angrily.

It's just that neither brother nor sister expected that their conversation had already been noticed by the man at the next table with his back to them from the very beginning.

The man drank the tea, his face was in shadows, and he could only see that the hand holding the tea cup was slender, white and slender, and the end was good-looking.

Chang Ou sulked for a while, and couldn't help but ask Chang Runzhi: "That...... If they don't dare to get involved in our Great Wei, can they not fight? ”

"Of course, although the Xianbei people are rude and savage, they are not stupid. If they can get food and cloth without fighting, why should they not do it and have a war? Chang Runzhi: "But the people of Dawei are not stupid, why do they give them food and cloth for no reason?" ”

Chang Ou scratched his head: "But after every battle, it's not like you want to give Xianbei those things...... It's better to give it without fighting. ”

Chang Runzhi smiled helplessly: "You can think of it, how could the ministers of the court not think of it?" But if we don't fight and give it directly, where will we put the face of Dawei? The war is to not lose face and let everyone know that Dawei is not afraid of a war; After the war, Xianbei grain cloth was given in order to show the wealth of the country and the strength of the people of the Great Wei, and to inform the world that the Great Wei was like a sea that embraced all rivers, and that it was tolerant and broad-minded, and it was unattainable. ”

Chang Ou opened his mouth: "But, but ......"

He obviously felt that it was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Chang Runzhi patted the little boy's thin shoulder: "Sister knows, you are just not worth it for those soldiers who are guarding Yanbei Pass and struggling to resist the Xianbei people." ”

Chang Ou nodded hurriedly, his face flushed: "For the sake of face, can you ignore their life and death?" This is not right! ”

Chang Runzhi paused, and couldn't help sighing: "Yes, but...... Children can distinguish between right and wrong, while adults only look at the pros and cons. ”

Chang Ou was dissatisfied: "Third sister, I'm not a child. ”

"Mmmm, the fourth child is a little man, eat a little more, and he will be a big man in the future!"

Chang Ou was immediately satisfied, and he smiled.

Chang Runzhi took the opportunity to open the topic, saying that it was not too early, and it was time to take Chang Ou back, otherwise Aunt Qian would nag him again.

Chang Ou reluctantly left with Chang Runzhi, and after walking a short distance, he could still hear him clenching his fists and saying firmly: "I will practice martial arts in the future and become a general, so that the Xianbei barbarians will not dare to ask us for food and clothes by fighting!" ”

The voices of the sisters and brothers were no longer audible, and the man who was sitting with his back to Chang Runzhi slowly got up, and the two people who were waiting around him hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, are you going back to the house?" ”

The man replied softly and turned around.

The Dawei man is beautiful with femininity and relies on the embellishment of incense to show his identity. But this man, looking at the strength of a superior, although his appearance is beautiful, he has a full manhood, and he has no incense on his body, but I don't know what his identity is.

Looking closer, under the sun, his eyes were not as brown and black as ordinary people, but glowed with a faint blue cold light. Judging by his face, he is similar to those beautiful foreigners in the Beijing Song and Dance Division.

Presumably, this man is of foreign descent.

He was about to leave, but he paused again and said, "Go to King Rui's Mansion." ”

"Yes." The two subordinates hurriedly answered.
