Chapter 568: Diplomatic Peace Talks (Second Update)
"In front of the mushroom mountain, from here you can see the palace of the fairy water palace, there was a fire here before, but it was a few years ago, and now there are flowers and trees everywhere."
Lin Zunian introduced the matter of Mushroom Mountain to Jiang Daili, he made preparations in advance, and repeatedly asked Wang Lanling, Gong Yueman and others to determine what could be said and what could not be said.
It was the first time to do this kind of work of receiving foreign guests, and I was still a little nervous.
Jiang Daili listened to Lin Zunian's introduction, the people here all speak Longzhou dialect, but there are still some differences with his words.
This is normal, even if it is the two children of the same father, the voice is not the same.
Jiang Daili said: "Has Wang Lanling always lived here? ”
Lin Zunian replied: "No, the county magistrate is usually busy with official business, and sometimes he rests in the county office when there are many things, which is convenient for handling things, and it is too troublesome to go back and forth." ”
Jiang Daili nodded, "It is said that when Wang Lanling was the director of Heishui County, he often stayed in public houses overnight and was diligent in government affairs. ”
Lin Zunian quickly said: "Yes! Indeed it is! At that time, I hadn't followed the county magistrate to do things together, and I only took the initiative to come here from Shanhai County. ”
Wang Lanling is diligent in government affairs, arrives early and leaves late, works conscientiously and responsibly, often sleeps in public houses at night, and stays up late to review documents, everyone knows.
The people like this kind of leadership, and Wang Lanling can't tell everyone his true side, so he touched his nose and admitted it.
This is how outsiders look at Wang Lanling, and Wang Lanling's subordinates also see it this way, even the women and children of Wang Lanling think that Wang Lanling is such a person.
Obviously, Wang Lanling will always be lazy and find time to accompany children and women, but the children still feel that their father is very busy and has no time to play with them.
Zhao Wenrou, Lu Leia and others are the same, they all feel that Wang Lanling has put all his mind on work.
As long as Wang Lanling is not a six-day mine, then everyone will think that Wang Lanling is very busy.
Wang Lanling's image has been fixed, a person who is not smiling, serious and responsible, majestic and cares about the people, able to call the wind and rain and control the thunder? A handsome scholar who drives the wind and fire!
At present, Wang Lanling's prestige in military affairs is even better? But because he started as a civil official, he is a young man who has heard that he is very good-looking? So it's a scholar's image by default.
Jiang Daili is very curious about Wang Lanling? He learned about Wang Lanling's appearance from Jiang Kedi, and also learned about Wang Lanling's life in detail.
Just a few years? From a humble person in the market, he has grown into the current megatron? Enough to affect the future pattern of the empire? The strange man who forced the empire to make peace with him!
"Wang Lanling is two out of twenty this year, and this ability is really rare."
Jiang Daili sighed? What does he actually want to say? This is a thief of the country!
But since he came here to talk, let's talk well, Jiang Daili felt that although he had ink in his belly, he might not be able to compare to Wang Lanling.
Wang Lanling is not only talented, but also scolding? Jiang Daili felt that he couldn't say anything about him.
After hearing Jiang Daili's words, Lin Zunian quickly and seriously said, "Minister Jiang's intelligence is wrong? The county magistrate just turned 21 this year, not 22. ”
Wang Lanling specially explained? He is twenty-one years old.
There are no zodiac signs in this world, and everyone's age statistics are calculated according to the date of birth.
Wang Lanling said he was twenty-one years old? Then he is twenty-one.
...... on ID card That must have been a typo.
Jiang Daili was stunned? Suddenly you feel that your intelligence is wrong? After all, it is impossible for the other party to deceive people on such small things.
Those spies are really rubbish!
Everyone's cognitive level was limited, and no one thought that Wang Lanling would lie about this kind of thing.
Even if they thought about it for ten days and ten nights, they couldn't understand the necessity of such a thing.
"It turned out to be twenty-one years old, and I heard that Wang Lanling already has many children?"
Lin Zunian said: "Yes, the county magistrate has many heirs, and his wife Zhao Wenrou alone has raised three sons and one daughter. ”
There is no mistake in this information, Jiang Daili now knows that Wang Lanling's wife is Zhao Wenrou, and his father-in-law is Zhao Liyang, all of whom are a group of traitors who eat inside and out.
The two didn't talk about much, and there were some things that Lin Zunian didn't know and didn't want to say, so Jiang Daili naturally didn't continue to ask.
At the entrance of the Xianshui Palace in Mushroom Mountain, Jiang Daili met Wang Lanling and Zhao Wenrou.
After some pleasantries, everyone began to sit down for dinner.
After eating, I started to get down to business.
Wang Lanling took the initiative to say: "Minister Jiang might as well say it directly, you can politely have a meal with me, I can already understand some attitudes, let me explain my thoughts first." ”
"As for me, I don't have the idea of expanding outward, now the territory of Shanhai County alone is enough for me, and there are only a few people on the Dumu County side, so I will help take care of it by the way."
"The affairs over there in Sarawaku have nothing to do with me, I am just doing some business with some people in Sarawak and some nearby places, and they are all normal trade contacts."
"However, when the army passes nearby, this kind of thing will not be allowed out of vigilance and self-preservation."
Wang Lanling said what he meant, this is the return of the imperial court for reuniting the families of those surrendered soldiers in Muzhou.
Negotiating with the empire is not for the sake of peace, but for the spread of one's own ideas.
At present, it is still the major newspapers of the empire that control the propaganda channels of the mainstream media.
In the upper part of Longzhou, Wang Lanling's fame and deeds are very small.
Jiang Daili didn't believe Wang Lanling's words, but he still nodded on the surface and said, "That's it, in fact, when I came over, the Holy Lord asked me to ask you something." ”
"The Holy One treats you well, why do you treat the Holy One like this?" Jiang Daili looked directly at Wang Lanling, he represented an empire.
Wang Lanling also looked at Jiang Daili seriously, "I'm not speaking for myself, since ancient times, everyone has been under the pretext of speaking for the people, talking and talking, everyone takes it seriously, and a fool like me, listening to it, is really serious!" ”
"I know you don't believe in this all along, but my people don't believe in this either, they think I have other ideas."
"The smarter a person is, the more stubborn he is when he makes stupid mistakes."
"You guys just think I'm stupid about this, the emperor didn't feel sorry for me, or he didn't have time to be sorry for me, he didn't feel sorry for anyone, he was right about himself anyway."
"The essence of the empire was not caused by my Wang Lanling, and I am not a thief, but I revolted when the empire was at its strongest and should not have rebelled."
"Why am I successful? It's because most of the people under my command are people who have suffered injustice, and they have been persecuted to such a point by the nobles of the Jiang family from all over the country. ”
"As an enemy, or rather a rival, I can give the emperor a suggestion that it is not a two bureaucrats and a nobleman who cares about human life that is shaking the foundation of the empire's rule at present, but the ordinary people who cannot be settled."
"But when the emperor himself is absent, then it is no longer the masses below who will shake the empire, but the bureaucrats and ministers at the top, who will lead the empire in the direction of serving the interests of only a few people for their own interests."
Wang Lanling told everything about it, the problem of the Jiang family is actually not a problem, the victims do exist, but they have never been less.
Without Wang Lanling, the Jiang family's problems are not a problem at all.
The only thing that can really make the empire have problems is the distribution of imperial power.
As soon as the old emperor dies, something will definitely go wrong with the empire!
Jiang Daili remembered Wang Lanling's words, but he couldn't listen to them, the biggest problem in front of him was this Wang Lanling!
If it weren't for the fact that there was a long table between the two of them, and there were their own hands near the table to protect them, Jiang Daili really wanted to try the limit of one for one.
Eliminate the evil for the Empire!
Of course, that is, think about it, Jiang Daili still doesn't want to die, and wants to continue to be loyal to the empire.
"You really don't have the idea of standing up for yourself as a king and emperor?" Jiang Daili inquired about this matter, and he asked Wang Lanling to reply in person.
Wang Lanling nodded and said, "No, but you can see the current situation, Shanhai County will no longer obey the arrangements of the imperial court." ”
Jiang Daili nodded, "I understand." ”
After having a basis for talking, Jiang Daili continued: "The Holy Lord can crown you as the king, and he can hand over the territory of Shanhai County and Dumu County to you to arrange and appoint by yourself, but there is one requirement. ”
