Chapter 421: Great Power Diplomacy and Personal Relations

Xue Qing said in a diplomatic tone: "The relationship between countries is not so simple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFirst of all, I want to make sure that my Dahan and your Dayue clan have always had a relatively friendly relationship. Although it is now separated by 36 countries in the Western Regions, there are many contacts. Help, we are willing to help from the bottom of our hearts. But how to help. How to help. This also needs to be considered from the specific situation of Dahan. ”

Li Tuobi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, don't push me." I know that Dahan won't help me with the Otsuki Clan. ”

Xue Qing smiled: "Oh? Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think so? Did someone chew on your tongue with you? Those rumors, I can't believe it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince don't care. ”

Li Tuo Bici didn't understand what was going on with chewing his tongue. Am I so cruel that I go out and eat people's tongues? Cannibalism doesn't seem good. only grasped the second half of the sentence and said: "Your Highness, I haven't said what the rumor is, why do you say that you can't believe it." It seems to be groundless, not necessarily without a cause. ”

Xue Qing smiled: "Then Your Highness knows?" ”

Li Tuo Ci nodded: "Well, I already know that the Han army will go on the Northern Expedition next year." The money from the treasury has to be spent on this.,There's no money to support the Otsuki clan.。。 ”

Xue Qing said: "Your Highness, this palace doesn't know where you got the news from. This news is neither denied nor acknowledged. However, this palace would like to solemnly warn His Highness that once this kind of rumor spreads, I am afraid that it will affect the relationship between our Han and the Xiongnu and cause unnecessary danger to our northern border. And His Royal Highness is a guest from afar, and his status is noble. The Palace has no right to restrict His Highness's freedom. But if a rumor spreads from His Highness, it leads to serious consequences. I, the Han court, will change its foreign policy toward your country. Any consequences will be borne by Your Highness and your country alone. ”

This is like a diplomatic note. Li Tuo Bici hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." I'm not going to leak it out, let alone the Huns. Your Highness can rest assured. I'm going to keep my mouth shut. ”

Xue Qing nodded slightly and said, "I hope Your Highness will do what he says." ”

Li Tuo Ci added some wine to Xue Qing. But in fact, Xue Qing's cup was almost full at all. The little just pretended to add a few drops. While pouring the wine, Li Tuo Bici got closer and whispered, "Your Highness." The situation of the Great Moon Clan and the Western Regions, you don't know it. It is difficult to support alone, and it is difficult to launch an attack on the Xiongnu with a weak force. The Han Army's Northern Expedition was a good opportunity. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty made great efforts to make the country enterprising. His Royal Highness's father and husband are invincible and invincible. This is the best time to fight the Huns. It would be a pity not to attack the Xiongnu forces in the Western Regions. However, the forces within my Otsuki clan are scattered, even if they are all unified. It is also far from sufficient. If there is no one to help. That's hopeless. ”

Xue Qing sighed and said, "Alas, this palace does not hide it from His Royal Highness. I want to help, but the court really can't come up with the money. You Otsuki don't know. The territory of the Han Dynasty is so vast. The people are more than ten times or even dozens of times the size of your Otsutsuki clan. There are many places to use money. The treasury of the imperial court, after the allocation of military spending. A lot of local expenses are still tight. How can I have spare money to support you? To tell you the truth, this palace is quite willing for you to send troops. You sent troops, no matter what, at least you helped the Han army's Northern Expedition to contain the main force of the Xiongnu's left flank. Let my father and Jun Hou be able to deal with the main force of Shan Yu Wang Court wholeheartedly. That's what Hongu would love to see. It's a pity. It's a shame. ”

Li Tuobici's voice was lowered. Almost inaudible, he said, "The court has no hope." If there are other ways. Would Your Highness be willing to help? ”

Xue Qing listened attentively and said, "Do you have a way?" You talk about it. ”

Li Tuo Bici said: "The Great Han is a country with a feudal system, which is similar to the system of our Dayue clan. Some princes are actually as strong as the imperial court. If the court doesn't have time to deal with me, it's the same to find a powerful prince. ”

Xue Qing smiled: "You can pull it down, there were princes with extraordinary strength and even comparable to the imperial court before." For example, Wu Wang Liu Bi. Liu Wu, King of Liang. Liu An, King of Huainan. It's a pity that they are all dead. The current policy of the imperial court is to cut down the feudal domain. There are no more princes who have the strength to compete with the Han Court. ”

Li Tuo Bici smiled: "Who said no." Far away in the sky, close in front of you, isn't there such a prince whose strength is comparable to that of the Han Court? ”

Xue Qing was stunned: "What? And such people? It's strange, how come this palace doesn't know. ”

Li Tuo Bici smiled: "I'm talking about you, Your Highness." ”

Xue Qing threw the crystal cup in her hand on a few cases and said angrily: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this." I told you that it's not that this palace doesn't help, it's really no way. This is starting to stir up the relationship between the palace and the Han court? Do you want to die in this palace to be willing? I really don't see that you're that kind of person. ”

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment and walked back and forth. Li Tuo Ci hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that. I mean, Your Highness's strength is very good. Since you have the heart to help me, help the Dayue clan, and plan the Northern Expedition of the Han Army. Then why don't you take it yourself and help me. ”

Xue Qing frowned and said: "This palace didn't understand, didn't it mean that this palace couldn't help it, why do you need this palace to help." If you can help this palace, won't you help? ”

Li Tuo Bici whispered: "Your Highness, I mean, you have taken in a lot of soldiers. Ordnance, money and food. You're not a lot of them. The court can't take it out. You can get it. ”

Xue Qing's face was black, and she glanced at Li Tuo Bici's beautiful and moving face with an indifferent expression and said, "If you count it, it has only been a month before and after the palace and His Royal Highness met. This kind of friendship, His Royal Highness really dares to speak, don't you feel a little presumptuous? ”

If you take the liberty of a fart, you can solve this matter, you can do without Li Tuobici's face, and your face is a fart. Li Tuo Bici said: "The exchange is shallow and deep. I fell in love with His Highness at first sight. What to say and what not to say. I will not hide it anymore. Your Highness, you said that you want to help me and want to help the Otsuki clan, I believe that Your Highness must be sincere in what you say. The key is that the war in the Western Regions is a very good thing for the Han Army's Northern Expedition. I don't see any reason for His Highness to object to this. ”

Xue Qing frowned and thought to herself, is this foreigner so polite? said slowly: "Whether it's the Northern Expedition or supporting the Western Regions, it's all a matter of the imperial court, and it's not the turn of someone to contribute money and efforts." This is whether the behavior of the state is good or not. Take 10,000 steps back and say, I want to spend money on this matter, then directly to our father and Junhou, and use it on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, isn't it better than giving it to you? That's a bit of putting the cart before the horse. (To be continued.) )
