Chapter 223: Nothing to talk about
Although Xiao Hui was smiling, the meaning of these words was threat.
What does it mean to be miserable? The war between the two countries continues, and I attack you and defend the corpses all over the field, and no one can get rest and recuperation, and that's it.
Duan Shaolian's face changed, which made him shudder a little. This Liao is barbaric, yesterday the emperor's brother disagreed with each other, and today the prime minister of Liao opened his mouth and closed his mouth, which made people tremble.
"Xiao Xianggong, it's a bit inappropriate to say this." Duan Shaolian hurriedly laughed and said: "Guannan was taken by the Later Zhou, but the Liao State wanted to use troops against my Great Song Dynasty, what is the reason. Xiao Xianggong cautiously said that it may be difficult to increase relations with the two countries. ”
Xiao Hui laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? After crossing the Baigou River, a horse is flat. I don't know if there is anyone in the Song Kingdom who can stop my Da Liao's iron cavalry. Since the Song Kingdom does not give this land to the south of the Guannan, I Da Liao will take it myself. Maybe you can get more, that is, drink the Yellow River, not necessarily. ”
This person's tone was arrogant, and on the surface, he attached great importance to the Song envoy, and his etiquette was also thoughtful. But as soon as he opened his mouth, his true nature was revealed, and the thoughtful etiquette in front of him was just an appearance. In other words, it was deliberately made Song Envoy relax, and then suddenly exerted high pressure to seize his courage.
Duan Shaolian is a straight bachelor of Hanlin, and it is okay to say some decent words, but in the face of a decisive figure like Xiao Hui, he is absolutely suppressed in terms of momentum.
In Fan Yu's opinion, Duan Shaolian's forehead was sweating, but his hands were trembling slightly in his sleeves, and his sleeves were shaking.
"Xiao Xianggong don't want to be so arrogant, when did my Great Song Dynasty ever be afraid of the Liao Kingdom." Fan Yu opened his mouth at this time: "The alliance of the Yuanyuan is not the alliance under the city, that is, before, it was my Great Song Dynasty who attacked the Liao Kingdom. If it is based on Xiao Xianggong's statement, then I will ask the Liao State to return the hometown of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Xiao Hui frowned, but said with a smile: "This is what was given to me by Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty as the son emperor of my Da Liao, this is filial piety, what does it have to do with your Song Kingdom." What's more, at that time, the Song Kingdom had not yet been established, so why did he say this. ”
Fan Yu's anger grew, but there was no expression on his face, "The sixteen states of Yanyun are the homeland of my Han'er." Is it because of the change of dynasties that it can be surrendered to a foreign race? The Later Jin Dynasty has died but the Liao State has not died, so it should be returned to my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Time has passed, and it is useless to say these words of An Lehou." Xiao Hui shook his head and said.
"Since time has passed, presumably what Xiao Xianggong said is useless." Fan Yu snorted slightly.
Duan Shaolian watched the two of them arguing with each other, and couldn't help but sweat. But seeing that Fan Yu did not fall behind, he was a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Xianggong, these words of yours, I can convey them to my Great Song official family on my behalf. As for the rest, we can only be listeners. Duan Shaolian arched his hand.
Xiao Hui didn't want to be so gainless, he looked at Fan Yu and said, "Don't talk about the far, let's only talk about the near." The Guannan occupied by the Song State should be returned to my Great Liao. Otherwise, the Abyss Alliance will probably end here. If it weren't for the annual payment of New Year's coins by the Song Kingdom, my Da Liao's iron cavalry would have taken Bianliang for a long time. With the prosperity of our Great Liao Army, it is easy to take the land of Guannan. Now he is talking to you, but he doesn't want to spoil the relationship with Da Song. ”
"What Xiao Xianggong means, is it that my Great Song Dynasty has given away all these years of coins in vain?" Fan Yu looked at the other party and continued: "Or rather, the Great Song Dynasty does not need to send New Year's coins in the future, and the alliance of the Yuanyuan will be canceled." Then the two countries will lead their own armies, and they will talk about it separately. I'm afraid that my Great Song Dynasty will consume it, but the Liao State can't afford it. ”
The Great Song Dynasty occupied the Central Plains and was recognized as a wealthy country by the whole world. Xiao Hui just wanted to refute this, and there was not enough reason.
"It is precisely because of the friendship between the two countries that I raised this matter. If the Song Kingdom also remembered the friendship between the two countries and agreed to it, wouldn't it be a good thing. Xiao Hui avoided Fan Yu's topic of consumption.
"It's impossible." Fan Yu said categorically: "Da Liao is to cancel the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and my Da Song will not agree." I advise the prime minister to get rid of such thoughts, and not to plunge both countries into war. Otherwise, wouldn't it be good for my Great Song Dynasty to save the annual coins sent to the Liao State every year and exchange more war equipment for the soldiers. ”
Xiao Hui couldn't help frowning when he saw Fan Yu say so decisively: "You are just a deputy envoy, where do you have the right to decide this matter." Just go back and pass the word, don't judge indiscriminately. ”
Duan Shaolian was under a lot of pressure, and when he heard the other party's words at this time, he bowed down and said, "Yes." ”
But Fan Yu didn't think so, he snorted coldly and said: "As an envoy of the Song Dynasty, I will represent the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty when I come to Liao. If you can't even do this, what kind of envoy will you make? ”
Duan Shaolian blushed when he said this, and froze for a while, not daring to speak easily.
"No matter what An Lehou says, this kind of thing is not up to you, the envoy, to decide." Xiao Hui shook his head and said, "On the New Year's Day, the two of you, as envoys of the Song Dynasty, want to present gifts to our emperor. I don't know what gifts the two Song envoys brought this time. ”
"Oh, this time the gift from my Great Song official family to the Liao Emperor is a wrong set of gold and silver wine utensils. Six silver cups are mistaken for gold ornaments, and one gold pot is mistaken for silver ornaments, and the workmanship is exquisite. This set of barware is extremely elegant and adds to the royal style. Duan Shaolian was sure of this, and hurriedly said with a smile.
Xiao Hui shook his head slightly and said, "It's not enough, this thing is still far behind." Add another 100,000 taels of silver, and you should be fine. ”
Fan Yu said in his heart, isn't this the condition that Liu Liufu proposed to the Great Song official family in Bianliang.
"I don't quite understand what Xiao Xianggong means." Fan Yu shook his head and said, "A gift is a gift, and borrowing money is borrowing money." The two should not be confused. If the Liao State is nervous, it is not impossible to borrow money from my Great Song Dynasty. But in Xiao Xianggong's statement, it is unacceptable to my Great Song. ”
Fan Yu regarded the other party's lion asking for money as a loan, but it made Xiao Hui frown.
Duan Shaolian couldn't help but be a little anxious and said: "Don't embarrass our envoys, Xiao Xianggong can send someone to Bianliang and tell my Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Xiao Hui was not in a hurry, he smiled: "I'm afraid it's too late now, the day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day, where can I catch up with the time." However, I can also tell you a way, that is, write it on the gift list of Zhengdan and give me 100,000 taels of silver. ”
Fan Yu waved his hand and said: "Xiao Xianggong should not be so lightly understated, when the time comes, the gift list will be sung in front of all nations." Could it be that he wants to settle this in advance in front of all nations? ”
"Not bad." Xiao Hui nodded, "Liu Liufu should have already mentioned that he had sent an envoy to the Song Kingdom before. This time, I'll bring it up again, and I hope you two don't make mistakes. ”
"Xiao Xianggong didn't hear my poems yesterday, he was diligent and cherished with enthusiasm, and he could still turn the blue waves when he sprinkled it." Fan Yu hugged his fists, got up indifferently and said, "Don't speculate, say goodbye." ”
The other party blindly oppressed and asked Da Song for benefits, there was nothing to talk about.
