Chapter 602: Quasi-Concubine
Zhou Nan was still immersed in the shock that Lin Lingsu brought him at this time.
ββFor a while, he didn't know if Lin Lingsu had stumbled into him by mistake and used the tricks of going through the rivers and lakes to fool him, or if this Lin Lingsu really had the magical ability of an unpredictable prophet.
ββAlthough he heard Wu Shi ask him, Zhou Nan had no interest in answering. Lin Lingsu's words made Zhou Nan feel like he appeared in front of everyone without clothes. Zhou Nan vaguely felt that Lao Dao's words were not as simple as just to show him.
ββBe sure to ask him for clarification!
ββIn a trance, Wu Shi raised his voice and asked Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan thought of the "misconduct" in front of him.
ββ"If you talk about the old examples, then there are many." Zhou Nan understood that Wu Shi was talking about the Khitan being a vassal to the Tang Dynasty during the Tang Dynasty, so he said to Wu Shi, "The Khitan paid tribute to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains made the princess and the Khitan several times; Today, the people of Wu She want to pay tribute to the Liao State, I don't know which emperor they want to marry? I have heard for a long time that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is all virtuous and docile, knowledgeable and reasonable, I would like to see and ......know," he said, and deliberately looked at Zhao Fujin.
ββZhao Fujin was in public, and when Zhou Nan said this, he suddenly didn't dare to raise his head. She only had a faint affection for Zhou Nan in her heart, but she didn't even know it herself, she just felt that Zhou Nan was willing to give her even a Yanjing City, which was different from other men.
ββBut this time, she strongly advocated that Zhou Nan come to participate in the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Banquet, and after Zhou Nan came, she couldn't wait to ask Zhou Nan to come out to meet under the pretext of borrowing craftsmen, but Zhou Nan refused. For this reason, Zhao Fujin sulked for a day. Now that he was deliberately teased by Zhou Nan, that trace of good feeling has long been gone.
ββSeeing that Wu Shi was frustrated, another official stood up and said, "General Zhou has invited, and the poem says, "Xiangtu is listed, and there are interceptions overseas" refers to the matter of overseas countries paying tribute to the Shang Dynasty. The Yugong chapter of "Shangshu" has the old system of "Island Yi Hui Suit, and the Yue Shang clan comes to offer". General Zhou and the princess of the Liao Kingdom are now attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and they have paid tribute since that year, and they have been dedicated every year. β
ββ"What Zhao Hanlin said is extremely true." Several officials chimed in.
ββ"How to pay tribute? What is the tribute? Zhou Nanlian asked the official's name too lazy to ask, were the gifts he gave when he came for nothing? Grandma's, just a few of you, are you still thinking about the idea of beating Lao Tzu?
ββ"Naturally, it is advisable to sacrifice 20,000 war horses every year." This Zhao Hanlin said with a red face and a heartbeat.
ββ20,000 war horses, not to mention the military advantage, is converted into money, each is about 100 yuan, and 20,000 war horses are 2 million yuan. The Great Song Dynasty gave a total of only 400,000 pieces of Khitan silver silk every year, and when it was his turn, it increased more than five times. I really took myself as the wronged leader.
ββAt the banquet, most of the officials bowed their heads to each other and whispered, looking surprised by the number of 20,000 war horses. In this way, this is just a handful of people deliberately making things difficult for themselves. Even Zhao Ji sat on it and didn't say anything at first, but when he heard the number of 20,000 horses, his eyes lit up.
ββ"Hehe, although the Liao country is in decline, these 20,000 horses are nothing." Zhou Nan said with a slight smile. That Zhao Hanlin was overjoyed and was about to speak, but Zhou Nan suddenly raised his voice and said, "It's just that the vassal country pays tribute every year, and pays tribute every year; The country of the suzerain, should also do something within its bounds, right? β
ββ"Naturally, you should do what you do, but I don't know what General Zhou is talking about?" Zhao Hanlin asked thoughtfully.
ββ"It's like the middle school of the Great Song Dynasty, which not only collects taxes from all walks of life, but also dispatches officers and soldiers to ensure the tranquility of a place and eradicate bandits. Now that my Liao country is being invaded and plundered by the Jin soldiers, I also ask Zhao Hanlin to play a fold, and make it clear to Your Majesty, please send troops to repel the Jin soldiers, and return the great rivers and mountains of my Liao country. In this way, Hugh said that 20,000 war horses are 50,000 or 100,000 war horses per year, and the Liao State has also delivered them on time since that year. "Anyway, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not send troops, even if it sends troops, it will not be able to win the Jin soldiers, Zhou Nan is so happy that he is generous, and 50,000 war horses will come casually.
ββ"This ......" Zhao Hanlin knew that he was tricked by Zhou Nan, and the official family was sitting on it, did he really want to play a fold, ask the official family to repair the book to the Emperor of the Jin State, and let the Emperor of the Jin State withdraw the army, or simply ask the official family to send a large army to repel the Jin soldiers, and return the Liao people to a complete Liao country? If the army had this ability, the official family would have sent troops a long time ago, and they would still use their own books?
ββZhao Hanlin's face was red and white, and when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard someone laughing on the other side, Zhao Hanlin looked up, but it was the golden envoy Ulu who was sitting on Zhou Nan's right hand.
ββUlu was happy when he saw that the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty had made things difficult for Zhou Nan several times, but these literati spoke in a crepe, and what they said made Ulu not listen hard enough, and he was anxious for these people. Seeing that it was impossible to let this Liao State horse send some tribute every year, he couldn't help but say loudly, "The Liao State used to rely on swords and guns to force our Jurchen to pay tribute to Haidongqing and mink, and also robbed us of gold, silver, and beads, and every time I sent some "silver angels" to rob our women. We, the Jurchens, are only snatching back what belongs to us now, and no one can take care of it. As for your ......," Ulu sneered with disdain on his face, "The Liao emperor has been beaten and gone, where did you come from?" How can a manly man rely on a woman to eat? β
ββThis sentence is directly to scold Zhou Nan for eating soft rice. Ulu expected that Zhou Nan would not dare to kill himself in the Great Song Dynasty, so he had no scruples when he spoke.
ββUlu dared to scold Zhou Nan like this, but no one in the Great Song Dynasty dared to answer a word, and no one even dared to laugh. Even the people of the Three Princes' faction wanted to laugh, and they were afraid that Zhao Ji would be blamed, so they just lowered their heads. After all, Zhou Nan is a guest, and he is still an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, if he mocks Zhou Nan with the Jin envoy Ulu, he will be a guest to bully the master.
ββZhou Nan's face was extremely ugly for a moment, Ulu was sitting on his right, and he was injured just now, as long as he picked up the knife on the table in front of him and stabbed it, this Ulu couldn't escape. It's just that this Great Song Dynasty will definitely arrest himself for the crime of killing the golden envoy, and I don't know if I can leave this palace alive - my sworn enemy, the third prince Zhao Kai is in charge of the Imperial City Division, and killing himself in the palace is a matter of thought, so naturally there are guards to take action for Zhao Kai.
ββ"You guy, such vicious words, is it possible that the princess's husband can't eat soft rice?!" Zhao Fujin saw that Zhou Nan was humiliated by Ulu like this, his face was swollen red, his heart softened, and he opened his mouth to say to Ulu. She is a princess herself, and her sisters are also princesses, and when Ulu says this, she, as a princess, naturally has a reason to accuse Ulu as a princess.
