Chapter 316: Wolf Nature
Cai You was angry in his heart now, and he didn't have the heart to play, so he said directly: "Wei Mingyuan has arrived, he is a little anxious, I guess I want to see you." No matter what the court says, I will let you go back. ”
Ashan's hand paused, and continued to eat and drink, faster and more anxious than just now, and his eyes gradually turned red.
He is a nobleman of the Xia Kingdom, deeply valued by the Queen Mother, and originally had a great future, who knew that this trip to the Song Kingdom actually made him a fine worker!
Cai You looked at his expression, the troubles in his heart disappeared a little, and he was a little more happy, and continued: "This year, it is expected that the Xia people will go to war, you have to fight together, and when the time comes, we will arrange for you to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and support you to ascend to the position." ”
Wei Ming Ashan's face was expressionless, the corners of his face twitched, swallowed the contents of his mouth, and said, "Do you have more use value for me?" ”
Cai You smiled more and said: "I like to deal with smart people, smart people know what they want, what to do, and they won't mess around." ”
With a pained expression, he quickly regained his composure, and immediately took a big bite again, saying, "I will do as you say, but you also have to remember your promise." ”
Cai You picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said, "Don't worry, your identity is only known to me and the palace, and it will never be leaked out." You are in the Xia Kingdom, how far you can go in the future depends on you. If you have the ability and are a supreme minister, we will also congratulate you and will not tear down the stage. ”
Wei Ming Ahsan didn't seem to hear it, he ate more quickly and faster, and his mouth was full.
Cai You saw it, his eyes were full of happiness and longing.
After dawn, the yamen of the imperial court opened one after another, and there were more and more crowds.
Regarding Zhao Xu's enthusiasm for talking under the Xuande Gate, Kaifeng City has gradually faded and has begun to return to a normal state.
Zhou Wentai walked around the palace, saw a lot of people, and at noon, came to Honglu Temple.
In the courtyard of Honglu Temple, only Zhou Wentai and Wei Mingyuan sat opposite each other.
Wei Mingyuan looked at Zhou Wentai with a big beard, not angry, and said, "I want to see your father-in-law, you can't do these things." ”
Zhou Wentai calmly and calmly said: "The ministers want to see if there is a need to see if there is a need to meet your words, let's get straight to the point." ”
Wei Mingyuan felt the confidence shown by Zhou Wentai, and his heart was vigilant.
'Have the Song people made up their minds to continue fighting? When did they become so tough? Was it the last big win that gave them confidence? ’
Wei Ming Yuanyan felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and said in a deep voice: "First, release Wei Ming Ashan." Second, restore the previous borders of the Xia and Song dynasties. Third, the annual coin should be doubled. Fourth, the Song army retreated fifty miles from the Xihe River and Huanqing Road. Fifth, the Song State should ensure that there will be no more wars and that the borders will be peaceful. Sixth, the emperor of the Song State wanted to write a birthday greeting sheet to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and call himself a ...... with his son and nephew."
Wei Mingyuan said more than ten things, and Zhou Wentai looked calm and listened quietly.
After Wei Mingyuan finished speaking, Zhou Wentai said: "I saved your life." ”
Wei Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Zhou Wentai said: "Do you remember the last time you came?" That's how arrogant they talk to our father-in-law, and then ...... was beheaded on the spot. ”
Wei Mingyuan's beard trembled, his expression did not move, and he said: "Since you dare to come, you are not afraid of life and death, I want to see your husband." ”
"What you're saying is useless."
Zhou Wentai did not move, and said: "If you are here to ask for death, I can fulfill you now." Let's be honest. ”
Seeing that the Song people were really unprecedentedly tough, Wei Mingyuan didn't see the weakness and cowering of the year at all, the corners of his face were straight, and he said, "Wei Ming Ashan, I want to take it back." Second, the number of coins increased. Third, the Song Dynasty returned the sixteen villages we lost, and we were willing to exchange Lanzhou for Saimen. ”
Saimen Qi and Luguan, Shibao, Anyuan and so on are the fortresses between the Song and Xia Dynasty, and belong to Yan'an Mansion, which is a very important strategic place.
As for Lanzhou, it is naturally a good place, but the Song Dynasty is beyond the reach of the whip, and they look at each other from afar.
Yes, the words of Wei Mingyuan are all empty words, no pay, as long as benefits!
"Listen to me,"
Zhou Wentai's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "First, Emperor Xia congratulated my emperor and called him father. Second, cede a hundred miles of the border. Third, every year, 5,000 good horses, 300,000 stones of rice chestnuts, and 100,000 silk cloths are tributed......"
"Presumptuous!"
Wei Mingyuan was furious, slammed the table, and said angrily: "You Song people are too arrogant!" Do you really think that if I lose Great Xia once, you can act recklessly? ”
Wei Mingyuan was furious, and his four people quickly rushed out and ran towards the courtyard.
The officials outside rushed faster, and the swords were unsheathed, surrounding Wei Ming Yuanyan and the other four Xia people, and the atmosphere was terrible, as if these people would immediately hack them to death with their knives at the slightest movement!
Zhou Wentai picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Famous waiter, this is the Great Song Dynasty, there is a lesson from the past." ”
Wei Mingyuanyan was full of anger at this moment, he knew that the Song people really dared to kill them, so he forcibly calmed down and said, "I hope you Song people show sincerity." ”
Zhou Wentai said: "If you Xia people try to start a war again, our sincerity will be even more, how many chips do you have?" ”
Seeing that the Song people were not giving an inch, which was very different from the past, Wei Mingyuan understood that most of the people who came this time would not be able to achieve their goal, stared at Zhou Wentai, was silent for a while, and said: "We want those four villages, and we can ignore the rest." ”
"Famous squire, you walked the road to death." Zhou Wentai said: "If you go on like this, you have only one way to die." ”
Wei Mingyuan secretly grinded his teeth, the corners of his face twitched again and again, and said: "We retreat, there are only two things, first, take away Wei Ming, and second, Lanzhou to change the door." ”
Zhou Wentai didn't speak immediately this time, pondered for a moment, and said, "Famous Ashan, a thousand good horses can be exchanged." Nothing else. ”
The current negotiations between the two sides, knowing each other, are all for the purpose of testing each other and delaying time, and this year's big war is already imperative!
Wei Ming Yuan didn't dwell on it, a thousand horses were nothing, and said, "When can I see Wei Ming Ashan?" ”
"When we get the horses." Zhou Wentai said.
Wei Mingyuan said: "The last request, I want to see your father-in-law. ”
He didn't mention seeing Zhao Xu now, and it seemed that he already knew that he couldn't see him.
"There's a lot going on now, wait for me to let you know." Zhou Wentai straightened up and left Honglu Temple.
Wei Mingyuan looked at Zhou Wentai's back and the official who was receding like a tide, his beard trembling and his expression gloomy.
The burly man said in a deep voice: "Squire, the Song people are only afraid of conspiracy!" ”
Wei Mingyuan took a deep breath and said, "When I go back this time, I must play the Queen Mother, and I must be very careful of the Song people, they are different." ”
The burly man felt the same, but couldn't find the right words.
If Zhao Xu is here, he may be able to experience two words from it: wolf nature.
Zhou Wentai sat in the carriage and returned to the Blue Tile House.
He recalled the confrontation with Wei Mingyuan, gradually smiled, and said to himself: "It seems that after losing last year, Xia Ren really lost too much, and there are not many chips left. ”
Last year's battle on Huanqing Road was a rare all-win record in the Great Song Dynasty, not only occupying many important places, but also not signing any alliance under the city, which is enough to raise eyebrows.
Now, the Xia people have repeatedly threatened and persecuted, but the imperial court has not backed down at all, and it is not at all the same as before!
"If Xianggong Zhang is here, I'm afraid he will be killed again, right?"
Zhou Wentai smiled, and couldn't help but feel pride in his heart, which had never been seen before.
