Chapter 922: Li Yuan is a Smart Man (First Update)

A moment later, in a side hall in the palace city of Chu State, Yu Xin and Li Yuan sat opposite each other.

At this moment, Li Yuan had a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

You must know that Li Yuan has always belonged to the group of people who were played by Zhao Guoren (mainly Mao Sui).

But now? The current Li Yuan just relied on a beauty trick to make Yu Xin, the envoy of the Zhao State, whose status was far more important than Mao Sui, mess up and was played by Li Yuan.

Now Li Yuan has finally experienced a feeling of playing with others with tricks, and I have to say that this feeling is really cool.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, as the queen mother of a country, it is of course impossible for the Empress Dowager Li to do such a thing of stealing people privately, let alone openly cheating with foreign envoys in front of Li Yuan.

If this thing gets out, will it be famous?

The reason why this is so is, of course, because of Li Yuan's strong promotion behind the scenes.

Li Yuan was actually inspired by Qin Wangji's mother, Empress Dowager Xuan.

I think that back then, when Qin Wangji first ascended the throne, the Yiqu in the north was still a big trouble.

In order to solve this trouble, Empress Dowager Xuan Bazi took out her sharpest weapon, her body, and hooked up with King Yiqu.

After this, Empress Dowager Xuan gave birth to two sons for the king of Yiqu, thus firmly tying the Yiqu people to the chariot of the Qin State.

And now, Li Yuan hopes that Yu Xin is also such a person who is similar to the King of Yiqu back then, who can bring enough help to himself.

With Yu Xin's current identity, Yu Xin does have such a power.

As for how to be emotional and reasonable to Empress Dowager Li, this Li Yuan couldn't be better.

Now the throne of Empress Dowager Li's son Chu Wanghan is not stable at all, and only Yu Xin can help Chu Wanghan stabilize this throne.

What is a mother who cannot give in order for her son to gain the right to rule the country? This was the case with the Empress Dowager Xuan back then, and the same is true with the Empress Dowager Li today.

The more Li Yuan reminisced about the ins and outs of this whole thing, the more proud he felt in his heart.

Do you and the rest of these Zhao people really think that Wu Li Yuan is an idiot? I'm going to prove it to you now, and you're wrong!

With these feelings of pride in his heart, Li Yuan spoke unhurriedly: "Yu Qing, I think it's time to talk about the next thing." ”

Since the situation is very good, the next step is naturally to take advantage of the victory to pursue and strike while the iron is hot.

And Yu Xin, who was sitting in front of Li Yuan, could be regarded as tidying up after such a long time, and he looked obviously much better than when he had just learned the true identity of Empress Dowager Li.

After all, Yu Xin has been mixed in the political arena for many years, and he has naturally seen a lot of winds and waves, but before it was just because things were too sudden and out of proportion, and after such a period of buffer, the whole person naturally calmed down a lot.

I saw Yu Xin say to Li Yuan in front of him: "Tell me, what kind of conditions do you want now?" I can tell you that even if I agree to your terms, it will be useless if they do not convince the king. ”

Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Yu Qing, don't worry, I can still save these things." ”

Although Li Yuan was not a high-ranking official of the Chu State, after all, for a long time, as the confidant of Yin Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie, the commander of the Chu State at that time, he also participated in many decisions and negotiations of the Chu State.

Although it is true that the power to determine the success of negotiations is in the hands of the monarch, the master of negotiations also plays a very important role in negotiations.

Otherwise, why did Zhao send such an important minister as Yu Xin to Yingdu?

Moreover, in terms of Yu Xin's status in the Zhao Kingdom, which is second only to Zhao Sheng, the Plain Monarch, as long as Yu Xin is inclined to Li Yuan's side, then Zhao Dan must carefully and carefully consider Yu Xin's opinion.

It was precisely after considering the above points that Li Yuan wasted so much effort to get such a beauty plan for Yu Xin.

As the saying goes, watch the people put the dishes.

If it were other ordinary envoys of Zhao State, Li Yuan really wouldn't do this, at least not let Mrs. Li do it later.

Li Yuan coughed, and said with a straight face: "Yu Qing, that's the case, I know that King Zhao likes land the most, so this time I am willing to pay the Korean land occupied by the Chu State in the last war as a reward for the Zhao State to send troops to eliminate the rebellion of the three major families." But there is one thing, if the Zhao army enters the territory of Chu, then there must be Wu to control the command of this army. ”

In the last war of extermination of Korea by Zhao, Chu was nominally aiding Korea, but in fact, it took advantage of the encirclement of Yangzhai and Xinzheng in South Korea to occupy a large area of land on the Chu-Han border.

Although in the following war, due to civil strife and victory rate, the Chu people chose to withdraw their troops on their own initiative, but after the end of the war, nearly one-third of the land in Korea was still in the hands of Chu.

And now, Li Yuan is planning to use these places as a price in exchange for Zhao State's troops.

Yu Xin shook his head very decisively without thinking about it, and said, "This matter is absolutely impossible. ”

Yu Xin's refusal did not seem to surprise Li Yuan, which could be seen from Li Yuan's still calm face when he spoke: "Why is this? ”

Don't look at Yu Xin's previous embarrassment because he fell into Li Yuan's trap, but after all, he is one of the important ministers of Zhao State that Zhao Dan relies on the most, and he has stood tall and stronger in the political arena of Zhao State over the years, so he naturally has his own ability.

At this moment, Yu Xin entered the role of such a negotiator, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, since Korea has been destroyed, then all the land of Korea should belong to Zhao, and it is ridiculous for you to use Zhao's land as a bargaining chip for Zhao to send troops!" Secondly, the command of the army is of paramount importance, and it is absolutely impossible for our king to promise to hand it over. ”

Yu Xin looked at Li Yuan and said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say, but you must understand that if such a decision is reported, I will lose my official position and the trust of the king, while you and the king of Chu will lose your life and future!" Think about it yourself. ”

Li Yuan was silent.

Even if he was very reluctant to admit it, Li Yuan knew very clearly in his heart that what Yu Xin said was really not wrong at all.

After being silent for a long time, Li Yuan finally spoke: "Since this is the case, then according to Yu Qing's opinion, how much price should the Chu State pay?" ”
