Chapter Ninety-Eight. Go home
The congratulations of colleagues sounded the same as the "compassion" in the mouth of Taoist monks in Dongfang Yi, but they were not farts.
He was silent, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: It's naturally good if it's done well, but what if it can't be done? If, after talking about Burma's first visit, it does not achieve the benefits expected by the emperor, wouldn't it be extremely inappropriate?
The matter was very important, and he kept secretly weighing it in his heart: he didn't hear a little wind from his father, and it seemed like a whim of His Majesty. But in fact, if you don't grasp the heat of the negotiation well, it will be bad...... The intrigue between the emperor and the empress dowager may also be reflected in this negotiation.
"I don't know if Lord Shaoqing knows, in addition to the lower officials, who else has been appointed by the imperial court as a deputy envoy?" Dongfang Yi asked.
There is usually one envoy in the mission, two deputy envoys, several ambassadors, and who is the other deputy envoy at the same level as himself, Dongfang Yi is very concerned, and the attention of Cheng DΓΉ is far more than who the top boss is.
Xue Shaoqing touched his beard and said, "I heard that it's Lord Lin." β
Lin Nuo? It's Lin Nuo! Didn't even the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple get a deputy envoy?
Dongfang Yi shouted in his heart that it was not good: His Majesty the Emperor played a good hand. Facing the first visit of Burma, if you want to establish diplomatic relations with this dynasty, I am afraid that the mode of tribute will be discussed.
In fact, diplomatic negotiation is a process of bargaining, in which you compete for each other, you advance and I retreat, and reach a balance point acceptable to both sides.
In particular, negotiations like the one with the Burmese State have not yet touched on the issue of victory and defeat, so naturally there is no territorial division, and the matter of returning the prisoners is generally relatively smooth, and it is relatively easy to reach the point where both sides are satisfied.
The premise is that the strength must be in one place.
Dongfang Yi rubbed his tight eyebrows, and secretly thought to himself: I am afraid that in order to show the prestige of the country, the emperor will instruct the envoy to negotiate to open his mouth.
Only the father. Only his father, who has the name of "Zhennan", personally went into battle.
And if his father is transferred away from Yongjing, the Queen Mother will break her arm, and what bargaining chips will she use to compete with the emperor at that time?
If his father was a negotiation envoy, he would definitely be able to grasp the degree, and his father was promoted to the secretary of the military department two months ago, and his status was too valuable to do such a job.
Dongfang Yi thought of this, and his heart was shocked: Could it be that the emperor had already intended this? But when he thought about it, he felt that he was too careful, and it was an accident that the envoys of Burma came to visit, and the emperor would not be able to control the enemy country thousands of miles away.
Now that he has chosen himself as this deputy envoy, the reason used must be that he has made meritorious contributions to Huaiyuanyi a few days ago, and he is very close to the Prime Minister of Myanmar, which can be regarded as His Majesty's explanation to the Queen Mother's party.
Thinking about it this way, is it possible that the person who sent the word that day called him to the feast was ......
But Zhang Cong is obviously ......
Dongfang Yi has no bottom in his heart, he has never had experience in state negotiations, coupled with his low grade, the so-called people are soft-spoken, I don't know if there is room for beaks.
Neither allowed Dongfang Yi to think more, but also did not allow him to ventilate with Dongfang Yun, just in the afternoon, an official sedan chair came to pick him up, all the way to the bluestone walking, but a quarter of an hour, the sedan chair entered the Honglu Temple.

When he saw the unfamiliar tent roof, Su Musha wondered if he was dreaming.
Where is this?
What you see in your eyes, what lies under your body, and what you cover your body is not familiar to you. Only the faint aroma of ground pepper at the end of her nose made her feel familiar.
As he gradually woke up, Su Musha's surprise retreated slightly, and it was replaced by a sudden surprise.
This is Lin Ruofeng's house.
The night before yesterday, she didn't lie on the table in a daze until the third watch and slept for a while, just after closing her eyes for a while, Lin Ruofeng brought breakfast, and she had no impression of what she ate, and then before she knew it, it was noon, and lunch was eaten...... I can't remember, but it seems like dinner was after that......
Immediately after yesterday, breakfast, lunch, and dinner...... By the way, before dinner, Yulin came, and after saying two words, he started crying, and after crying twice, he quarreled again, and then Lin Ruofeng came......
And after that?
It's as if I've just fallen asleep.
Although Lin Ruofeng once said that he would rest in the study in the past few days and empty the room, it was a waste of time to go back and forth in the secret passage, so when Su Mu was tired, he would squint in the secret room study for a while.
Why did you only squint for a while, and as soon as you opened your eyes, you arrived here?
Looking sideways, I saw a hanging screen, blocking the inside and outside. Through the screen, a figure can be faintly seen sitting behind, holding a book and reading page by page.
"Who's out there?" Su Musha said, slowly sat up from the bed, the figure behind the screen started, bypassed the screen and walked to the bed.
Su Musha looked at the book he was holding in his hand, and found that it was a hand-cut paper simple sewn book, and there was no title on the title page, like an inferior product in a small workshop, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I thought that the books you read were all Confucian works, and they were specially transcribed or transferred by someone, but they weren't." β
Lin Ruofeng handed her the booklet in his hand and said softly: "This is not a book. It's your brainchild. β
Su Musha was surprised when she heard this, opened the booklet and looked at it carefully, and was surprised to find that every page was either text or pictures, all of which she had deduced in the past three days, and now it was bound by Lin Ruofeng in order, and when read from the beginning, it was like a complete storybook.
"What does that mean?" Su Musha's heart moved, and he said suspiciously, "Count me through?" β
Lin Ruofeng took her hand, turned the booklet to the last page, pointed to the content of that page and said: "Look at these bloody characters you wrote, at first glance, I thought it was a bloody book left by the murderer of the murder of the door." β
On the last page are three names, two names and one title, to be exact.
Su Wan'er.
Oriental Yun.
Dowager.
The font color is blood-red and dazzling, but the content is shocking. But in Lin Ruofeng's eyes, he seemed to be very pleased, nodded and said, "At this stage, you can understand this, I think it's enough." β
"That's good."
Su Mu covered his shoes and stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"Go home."
Lin Ruofeng's eyes jumped, but he didn't use reasons such as "You fainted before and need to recuperate", and only said: "I'll tell them to prepare the car." β
When the car was ready outside, Lin Ruofeng accompanied Su Musha to the front yard, and on the way, he told her the news of Ding Xiang's inquiry. Su Mu frowned slightly, puzzled: "Why did you get anything to do with Master Wen?" Seeing Lin Ruofeng's solemn expression, she asked vigilantly, "Is it related to what you are planning?" That's a coincidence. β
"It's kind of related." Lin Ruofeng didn't give the slightest explanation, and said in a calm tone.
