In the lobby of the Song Embassy, Gao Fangping was dressed in an official uniform and sat on a high seat.

When Wang Yu came in, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he saluted: "Three Korean dukes, meet the Great Song Dynasty." ”

At the same time as Wang Yu said, Gao Fangping had already got up with a smile to greet him, took his hand and said, "It's good to come, it's good to come." I'm still mentally wondering how to meet you in order to clear up misunderstandings. In fact, there is no hatred between you and me, but it is a misunderstanding, which is caused by the brainless son of Jerushonu, and the worst person is him, not you and me. ”

"That's right, Xiao Wang also saw it, the worst is actually that Yelu Xiaonu, everything happened because of him, fortunately, the emperor has eyes, and finally he was planted in the hands of Gao Xiang, so that the world can see through his sinister and dirty intentions. Relieved the doubts in the hearts of those who did not know the truth. Wang Yuwen said crepe.

Gao Fangping shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, I didn't do this, but Lao Xiao Xiangye's righteous killing of relatives, it's none of my business." ”

Wang Yu wanted to cry a little, thinking that he was simply a mad horse thief, and the worst person was clearly him, but he said that others were bad people all day long.

Looking at Wang Mata for a while, feeling that he was still very aggrieved, Gao Fangping patted him on the shoulder with a pleasant face and said: "Maybe I'm not a good person Gao Fangping, but I'm a person who admits accounts and knows shame, to be honest, thinking about it after the incident between you and me, I always feel a little sorry for you, this is true." It's just that sometimes my face is my national character, and my identity determines that I can't just put down the shelf and admit my mistakes. ”

Wang Yu felt warm in his heart, whether he Xiao Gao was open or not had already said that it didn't matter, but this time he ran into walls everywhere in Liao, and after tasting the sinister and cold and warm of the world, only Gao Fangping was really a relatively gentle person.

So Wang Yu tilted his head and thought about it, and said seriously: "Thank you for your polite and kind words, it's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, I've relieved myself and looked down on it." ”

"That's good." Gao Fangping nodded and said: "Then I don't like to go around the corner, and I'm also very busy, you use a sentence to explain what you want without embellishment?" See if I accept it, accept it, let's talk about it, if not, you know any modifiers and rhetoric, it's useless to me. ”

Wang Yu and his henchmen were startled, and felt that if it was really pork flat, it was as if he was just willful for a reason, it was really direct enough.

So after the henchman nodded slightly, Wang Yu was like Liu Xuande's crying voice, hugged his fists and said: "Please save me Gaoli, now the Goryeo people are in dire straits and are being persecuted by the Jurchens." Although the number of Jurchens is small, they are all fierce and not afraid of death, like tigers and bears, brave and good at fighting, and Xiao Wang is incompetent and has never been able to protect my Goryeo people. and has no way to complain, it seems to be a desperate road. ”

"It turned out that the Jurchens were making trouble." Gao Fangping smiled and said: "Okay, actually, I don't like them either, but the whip is beyond the reach of thousands of mountains and rivers, and I have no friendship with his Jurchen Department." Xiao Lidi has always been protecting the Jurchen Ministry for his own interests, why do you think I can help you? How do you think I can help you? ”

Wang Yu glanced at his henchmen again, and after nodding slightly, Wang Yu said: "At the earliest, our connections and eyeliner in Shangjing had some gossip, and I heard that the Song State wanted to unite with the Jurchens. This group of thieves is very dangerous even if they use stone tools, how can they get these Song State aid materials. This group of werewolves was poor and white, but they were able to decisively defeat Xiao Haili, and after obtaining Xiao Haili's equipment, they became more and more ambitious, and their combat power was greatly strengthened. So in the interests of Goryeo, this is the reason why this king is eager to enter Shangjing to seek a way out, in fact, I, Goryeo, am in the same camp as Gaoxiang, and we want to sabotage the incident of your political opponent aiding the Jurchens, which is of course where Gaoxiang's interests lie. ”

Gao Fangping smiled and said: "I said don't add any modifiers and judgments, just say things." I know very well what my interests are, and I know very well what other people are doing. Whatever you want, you say you want it to me. Don't talk about what 'it's good for me Gao Fangping', believe me, it's endless, if it's good for you Gaoli, I can say that there is no chance for you to interject for three days and three nights. ”

Wang Yu was depressed for a while, so he had to say pitifully: "What if...... Gao Xiangneng finally vetoed your people's assistance to the Jurchen Ministry, and I heard that the armament of the Song State is particularly good, if you can support me in Goryeo, then I will be grateful to Goryeo, and I will always remember the kindness with the Song State. ”

Gao Fangping laughed, patted his thigh and said, "It's no problem to ask for armaments, this is a deal." You really can't buy it for another person, but I, Gao Fangping, really have the ability to sell it to you. ”

Hearing that it was going to cost money to buy, Wang Yu was unhappy and said: "Goryeo is a small person, no one cares about us, we are poor and can't afford it, and then we have no malice, we just want to survive." ”

Gao Fangping tilted his head and thought for a while: "Last night I dreamed of a flock of sheep, and a cute lamb named Xiyangyang said to me, 'I want to live'. A bad little wolf named Big Gray Wolf also told me that he wanted to live. You know if you want to live, I, Gao Fangping, am a judge, and I don't have a law at hand that says that wolves eat sheep is illegal, so I am not a dumb official, how can I intervene? ”

I'm @#¥

Wang Yu and the strategist looked at each other.

Gao Fangping said softly: "Don't say that you don't have money, even if you have money, I don't dare to sell it to you if I want to." Why? Because I don't trust you Koreans to make good use of my armaments, Xiao Haili is the first example. I'm worried that after giving you armaments, you will be like Xiao Haili, not only will you not be able to defeat the Jurchens, but he will also capture the equipment, so I'm not crying blind? ”

Wang Yu's eyes immediately turned red, and he gently wiped his eyes with his wide sleeves and said, "How is this good?" ”

"Your way of crying is already an old joke in the old Huang calendar." Gao Fangping knocked on the table and said: "It's no problem to survive, given that I don't like wolves, so I can be a dumb official and pat my head on this sentence, but I won't hand over armaments and aid to people I don't trust." There is only one way to survive, and the Great Song Volunteer Army entered Goryeo to help you fight. ”

"This ......"

Wang Yu and his confidants looked at each other again.

To say that theoretically, since it is a request for help, it is politically reasonable to send reinforcements when the donor cannot solve the problem with verbal warnings like the Liao State. It's just that this is a very shocking request after all, so it's a bit of a tiger to stop Wang Mata.

Gao Fangping was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It's normal to have doubts, I'm not reluctant, you guys think about it slowly." In fact, it's like a case, if you go to the government to report that there are robbers breaking into your house, the government will send someone to enter your house to check the scene, otherwise how can you solve the case? ”

Wang Yu was embarrassed to pretend to be a villain, so he simply said on his behalf: "I'm worried in my heart, it's easy to ask God to send God, we are afraid that once the volunteer army of the Song Kingdom comes, it will never leave." ”

Gao Fangping didn't pretend to be forced, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to go?" If I am a small person, my family has been robbed, and I am still being remembered by thieves, then I go to report the case, and the government will give a receipt to see and leave, I will cry blindly, if the government acts, is responsible, cares about me, and sends two people to be stationed in my house for a period of time to give protection, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams. Isn't that the reason? ”

Even the treacherous advisers of the king couldn't help but look at him again.

After a while, Gao Fangping continued: "So here, the problem we need to solve is not anything else, but trust. The world runs on trust. After I reported to the government, I was willing to let someone be stationed in my house to protect me, because I trusted the government. Without this trust, nothing is true. If you don't trust the Great Song Dynasty, then naturally you don't need to complain to the Great Song Dynasty, then only your own affairs can be solved by yourself, and you will always be self-reliant, which is the most reliable. ”

The two guys looked a little fooled, stupid.

Gao Fangping smiled again: "Of course I know that bad people are not always righteous, some poor people collude with gangsters, some poor people are lazy, some poor people like to bully the common people, some poor people like to make a big fuss, and some poor people have to collect money even though they can do things." This world is like this, so I believe that your worries are normal, once our Great Song Volunteer Army enters the court to fight, there will be all kinds of moths, and those poor people will definitely have all kinds of friction with Goryeo. But believe me, these things can be overcome. Because I, like all officials who want to maintain face, I need my credibility, so even if I pretend to be forced, I will seriously deal with bad people who do wrong things, so the world will be pulled like this. This is credibility, and it is also the common people who hate the government, but when something happens, they will think of the same reason as reporting to the official. The world will not be perfect, but there will always be a group of people who are willing to work hard. The credibility of the Great Song Dynasty and my Gao Fangping, the example of Western Xia is in the front, you need to consider this. ”

Wang Yu was so deceived that his blood was boiling, and he immediately wanted to express his position. However, his confidant strategist grabbed Wang Yu and said to Gao Fangping with a smile: "This is a very important thing, it can't be decided overnight, we in Goryeo need to carefully weigh the pros and cons, and weigh our own domestic situation." Please give us some time to think about it? ”

"Yes." Gao Fangping nodded.

Wang Yu was a little overwhelmed and asked again: "Xiao Wang heard that the small life of the Xixia people is not bad now, and the deeds of the Song army are also well-known. The most important thing is that after the Song State went to Western Xia to invest, it brought a lot of magical things and had inexhaustible materials, about these aspects, I wonder if the Song State can give me some assistance in large quantities? ”

"Aid is fine, but I need to consider Song's own interests, and no one has ever liked to invest in unstable areas. There are no traitors who will invest in countries where robbers are rampant and gangsters cannot be defeated. Therefore, if you want to get the assistance of my Song Kingdom, you only have two options, first, do a good job in the official system, drive away the rampant bandits and robbers, and have the ability to protect the interests of our Song merchants. Second, if the previous article cannot be done, then there must be the protection of the Song army, and there will be capital assistance from the Song State. I'm not a fool, I went to open a two-money village and build a few factories, and in the end, I was beaten by Ah Gu and you couldn't compensate. So who do I go to cry to? Gao Fangping said.

"Can the Song army really be trusted?" Wang Yu couldn't resist the temptation and muttered.

"I don't know about this, you think about it yourself, since you want to report to the government, I think you have to trust the government first. I can't promise you anything on this point. But there are priorities, and people are the first to solve the problem of survival, and then everything else. At present, you don't have many options, and it is obvious that the Liao State has given up on you, so you only have two ways out: the Jurchen robbers enter Goryeo, and the Great Song army enters Goryeo. So if I were you, I would choose the least bad one. It's like the common people know that sending a bad man is not a good thing, but they choose to let the poor man into the house instead of the robber, because the bad man should pay attention to the influence, and the thief will not care about the appearance. Gao Fangping said with a smile.

Wang Yu felt that what the Great Demon King said was very reasonable, but the confidant strategist still didn't fully trust Gao Fangping. I think that although it will be like this in the end, will it be too simple and rude, and directly change from an enemy to a savior, and talk about the issue of volunteers entering Goryeo to fight?

People who are used to pretending to be forced are not very suitable for making decisions on major issues by patting their heads like this, and feel that they should at least pretend to think about it in a roundabout way. Obviously, Gao Fangping had planned this matter for a long time, and since he was so eager to achieve it, he might be able to get more favorable terms by taking a detour to lose his appetite.

So the confidant strategist pulled Wang Yu to get up, hugged his fists and said: "Listening to Prime Minister Gao's words, I feel like I'm suddenly open, but we still need to consider this major national policy carefully, it's not that we disrespect Prime Minister Gao, please forgive me." ”

"No excuse, it's all about price. When the price comes out, you are my great enemy, and I also teach the Jurchens to be a man, but if you don't have money, you are my grandfather, and I will take care of you. Gao Fangping said.

In this way, with a tragic mood, after the Song Embassy defrauded a meal, Wang Yu was reluctantly dragged away, during which he turned back step by step, looking at this "responsible official gate". Although there is also a group of hooligans in this yamen, it seems that it is the easiest group to get along with in this era......
