Chapter 50
After Yang Shan and the others rested for a day, they were informed by the envoy who came from Wara on the second morning to go and negotiate with Yexian, and after a little freshening, everyone gathered and then headed towards the big tent of the Chinese army. Yang Shan still had a trace of timidity in his heart, so he asked Lu Yunzhi to follow him into the account, and the rest of the people were ordered to wait outside the account. Lu Yunzhi agreed to Yang Shan, in fact, he also wanted to meet Ye Xian, he also wanted to see his former enemy Ghost Witch Protector Qi Mude, a mature plan slowly unfolded in Lu Yunzhi's heart.
In the big tent, it also straddles the big seat first, and under the seat is a tiger skin that looks majestic. Lu Yunzhi and Yang Shan walked in, and they didn't even raise their heads at first, but just looked at the national book written by Zhu Qiyu on the table and read it carefully. Yang Shan stood in his seat and bowed and said, "See also the first master." He didn't raise his eyes at first, but just snorted and answered.
Yang Shan was a little embarrassed, whether he was standing or sitting, he just waited to reply first, fortunately, he finished reading Zhu Qiyu's national letter in a short time, and then said to Yang Shan with a pleasant face: "Lord Yang, it's really hard to come from afar, sit down quickly." Yang Shan thanked him again and again, and then walked with the seats on both sides of Lu Yunzhichao, and all the ministers and generals of Wara also sat down.
Yang Shan just wanted to sit down when he saw Yexian slap the table, Yang Shan was startled by the loud sound of slapping the table, and looked straight at Yexian. He also pointed to the national book on his desk and asked, "Is the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty asking you to accuse me?!" Yang Shangang opened his mouth, and first slapped the table again and shouted: "No matter how much I cut the price of my horse, the cloth is easy to break, and the envoys who detained us are even a lot less every year!" What do you mean? ”
Lu Yunzhi looked at Yang Shan, although he calculated that nothing big would happen today, he was also worried about Yang Shan's situation, but seeing his expression of not panicking, he knew in his heart that this smart little old man would definitely be able to answer Ye Xian's question.
"Don't be angry, Taishi," Yang Shan smiled flatteringly, "We are also thinking about our Wara, the price of horses is increasing year by year, and it is really difficult for us to afford such a price, but we are worried that we will refute Taishi's face, so we can only lower some prices and accept it." Taishi, it's not that I'm crying for our Ming, think about it, the price you set now is much higher than originally agreed, we really can't afford it. ”
He just wanted to shout again, but Yang Shan stepped up his speech and said before Ye Xian: "As for the matter of the cloth, this is all to blame us, it has been verified that it is the fault of the general matter, we have already caught these people, and they should be killed at this moment." Therefore, please forgive me for this matter. He also nodded first, and said secretly in his heart: This guy is really an old fox, first criticize me for raising the price of horses, and then admit my mistakes, I don't want to impose accusations, in the words of the Han people, it is a slap to a sweet date to eat, it seems that the Ming Dynasty must have a deep meaning in sending this person here.
I also thought about it first and said, "Exactly, people like this need to cheat must be dealt with." Yang Shan immediately bowed deeply and shouted: "The first master is wise, but there are also many shoddy and inferior horses among the horses you sent, do you also want to dispose of these deceitful people." I was shocked when I heard it first, and I just finished speaking, and I couldn't break my word, so I had to give an order, so that the envoy should investigate this matter and find out before returning to the court, and give Daming an explanation.
"As for the envoys who detained you, it was rumored that the envoys you sent were thousands of people, and some of them stole or committed crimes on the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and they were worried that you would punish them, and they were afraid of the justice and majesty of the Taishi, so they absconded in fear of the crime." Yang Shan replied, and was speechless at first, originally he sent a large number of envoys, bullying men and women along the way, burning, killing, humiliating and plundering, and his motives were not pure, so he was embarrassed to argue.
Yang Shanjian was also speechless for a while and then said: "As for the annual gift, it has not been reduced, everyone is still the same as in previous years, what we didn't give is just a new year tribute for the number of people who were falsely reported." ”
After hearing this, he laughed out loud, shouted a few times in succession, and then said, "You old man is also articulate." Yang Shan saluted again: "Master Xie praised, and the minister still had a word." Nodding first, Yang Shan said with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth: "Daming and Wara are at war, the two sides have injured each other, God has the virtue of a good life, Taishi is so bloodthirsty and killing, I heard that the celestial phenomena have been strange recently, it is estimated that God is angry, blaming Taishi for violating the mandate of heaven." According to what I see, it is better to return it to the emperor, and when the emperor returns to the court, the Taishi will definitely get a large number of rewards, both gold and silver and the friendly relations of the Ming Dynasty, why not do it. ”
"Sounds reasonable." Maybe nodded and praised, "However, since you want to welcome back the Emperor Taishang, why didn't Emperor Daming write it in his national letter?" Yang Shan was stunned and asked, "You don't understand this?" "I also felt a little embarrassed at first, as if I was stupid.
Yang Shan laughed as if he didn't understand any etiquette and said, "I'm laughing to death, Taishi Xiu wants to joke with me, you want to test me." Da Ming did this in the name of Cheng Taishi, and it was your spontaneous act to return the emperor. If it is written in the national book, then will the master obey our orders? Master Tai, you naturally know your majestic talents, but don't pretend not to tease me, a little old man. ”
After hearing it first, his face was full of red light, but he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Yang Shan, and the peaceful and approachable people in his tone were not as angry as they were at the beginning: "Can the Emperor Taishang re-ascend the throne and sit in the palace after he goes back?" If not, what you promised just now doesn't necessarily count. Yang Shan replied with a straight face: "Master, the throne has been set and cannot be changed." But since ancient times, we have two emperors of Yao and Shun, Yao and Shun are brothers, and it is normal for the elder brother to give way to the younger brother. After the Emperor Taishang returned to the Ming Dynasty, although he was not the emperor, what was the difference between him and the emperor? "I also think this is the case.
A warat official on either side of the big tent stood up and said, "I, Pingzhang Angke, may I ask if the gold and silver you brought this time is a gift or a ransom for our ancestors?" If the ransom is where the gift is, if there is no gift, we are not in our eyes. If it is a gift, why did you come to welcome back your emperor without a ransom? If it's both, isn't that too little of the ransom? ”
Yang Shan snorted coldly and scolded: "Ignorant child, of course these are all gifts for the Grand Master!" We didn't bring any ransom money, I think I am also a generation of Taishi, how can I be greedy for money. We may not be able to look down on these gifts, but we laymen can only use gold and silver to express our respect for the Taishi. Taishi is benevolent and righteous, for a good man, in the annals of history, praise all things! After listening to it first, he laughed and kept praising Yang Shan's ability to speak.
At this moment, there was a burst of shouting outside the big tent: "Lu Yunzhi, you come out for me!" ”
