After listening to Yaztize's words, Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "What does the emperor of your country think?" ”

Yaztze said: "Your Majesty, my king proposes that our country send 100,000 troops, and your country will send another 100,000 troops, to attack the Bada people from the east and west, so that they can take care of one and lose the other, and the Bada people will not be able to resist, and we will send people to incite the local Sogdians in Tocharia to rebel, and under the internal and external troubles, the Bada people will definitely be finished, so that the trade route will be opened, which will be of great benefit to both of our countries!" ”

"Not only that, but when the Bada people are eliminated, there will be no threat to the eastern part of my Sassanid Empire, and there will be no longer a threat to the western part of your country!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Can the Sassanid Empire send 100,000 troops to attack the Bada people?" Do you ignore the Eastern Roman Empire in the west? As far as I know, the Roman Empire has always been an old enemy of Persia, and if your country sends 100,000 troops to attack the Hinda, I am afraid that you will not have enough troops to defend against the Eastern Roman Empire, right? ”

Yaztze said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor may not know that the common enemy of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires in the northern steppe, the Hun King Attila, died suddenly in the first half of this year, and Attila's sons fought against each other for the throne, and the civil strife broke out in the Hun Empire, and now the monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Roman Empire are planning how to disintegrate the Xiongnu Empire, and they have no time to deal with our Persia, so now is the best time for Persia and the Daqian Empire to deal with the Bada people together!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was stunned: "Attila, the king of the Huns, is dead?" ”

"Yes, my esteemed majesty!"

"How did you die?"

"I heard that it was a sudden death, the specific cause of death is unknown, there are rumors that he was poisoned, there are also rumors that he was murdered, and some people say that he was cursed by a Germanic barbarian wizard and died, there is no authoritative statement, and the Hun Empire has not given any news in this regard!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a moment and said to Yaztize: "Your Royal Highness, I am very excited about your country's proposal, but you know that this is a big matter, and I need to discuss it with my ministers and ministers!" His Royal Highness and the embassy will stay in the embassy with peace of mind, and after the Shangyuan Festival, I will send someone to discuss this matter with His Royal Highness! ”

Yaztze didn't expect to reach a consensus with the Qianguo side soon, and if he wanted the Qianguo to send troops, he still needed to make more efforts, "Okay, Your Majesty!" Yaztze awaits your edict! ”

"Someone, send His Highness Yaztize back to the embassy!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's arrangement, a eunuch with a few Yulin soldiers sent Yaztize away.

Zhao Junsheng asked the ministers: "Zhuqing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Liang Lin stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree with this matter!" ”

"Tell me what you think!"

"No!" Liang Lin saluted and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Persia and Tocharian are neighbors, and the two places are not far apart, Persia sent troops to attack the Doucharians to fight at the doorstep, and if our country wants to send troops to Tocharo, the army will start from Chang'an, and the whole journey is thousands of miles away. No matter how rich I am, I can't support it! ”

"Besides, this Persian bearded man said that he wanted our country to send 100,000 troops, and he really dared to open his mouth, in the past few years, I have been fighting abroad for many years, not to mention how many soldiers have been killed and injured in battle, several major battles have been fought, the treasury has been empty, there is no recuperation for a few years, the treasury is not satisfied at all, if the army is sent again, the treasury can no longer take out money for military expenses!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Pei Jin: "Pei Xiang, what do you think?" ”

Pei Jin thought about it for a while and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the road should be taken step by step, and the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, if you eat fast, it will be easy to choke, and if you run fast, it will be easy to fall!" ”

"Your Majesty has set a strategy before, first the north and then the south, that is, to fight the Rouran people first, and completely solve the problem of border trouble in the north, last year the Rouran people have been defeated by us, and this year Your Majesty sent troops to take the Bashu and Jingxiang regions of the Southern Dynasty, according to Your Majesty's established strategy, our dynasty should continue to work hard to accumulate strength, and strive to defeat the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible, and complete the great cause of dominating the world, as for the Rouda people, it is just an episode in the middle of this strategy, Your Majesty has sent more than 20,000 men and horses and 150,000 Rouran herdsmen to conquest, Chen thinks that this strength is enough! At present, the strategic focus of our dynasty should still be on the strategy of the southern dynasty, and we should not be too distracted by other places! ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at Dongfang Chen thoughtfully and asked, "National Teacher, what do you think?" ”

Dongfang Chen stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Pei Xiang's proposition!" It is not surprising that this Persian envoy came, whether it is the Sogdians of Tocharian or the Persians, they are accustomed to doing business and are good at fooling people, this Yaztize fooled His Majesty and said that each side sent 100,000 troops, and the poor Dao dared to say that they would never send 100,000 troops, and the purpose of the Persians was to fool us into sending 100,000 troops first, and even if they sent troops, they would send so many troops, at most 10,000 or 20,000, and when we were inseparable from the main army of the Bada people, they would send troops to pick up the cheap, and it would be easy to control Tocharian, When the time comes, won't I make wedding dresses for others? ”

"Your Majesty, don't look at this Persian people who look honest, in fact, they are very cunning, since they are good at business, they must not be honest people, poor Dao thinks that it is better to be cautious in this matter!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and said, "This matter will be put on hold for the time being, and we will discuss it after the Shangyuan Festival!" Which envoy is next? Declare him to the temple! ”

The eunuch immediately shouted loudly, and Yu Zijun, the envoy of the Song State of the Xuannan Dynasty, came to see him.

Yu Zijun was led into the main hall by the eunuch, and immediately saluted Zhao Junsheng according to the relevant information.

"Yu Zijun, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, has seen Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Yu Zijun, what do you have to talk about when you come to see me today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, at the end of April this year, your country took advantage of the great drought in Bashu, the lack of harvest, and the displacement of the people to openly violate the peace treaty and send troops to invade our country, Yu Mou on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty lodged a solemn protest to Your Majesty and the imperial court of your country, hoping that your country will immediately send an hour to Jiankang to apologize to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the princes of the court, compensate for the losses of our country, and order the garrisons stationed in the Bashu and Jingxiang areas to return the land that invaded our country!"

The hall became silent as Yu Zijun's voice fell, and the needle drop could be heard.

Zhao Junsheng immediately laughed: "Hahaha······"

Yu Zijun asked with a dark face, "Why is Your Majesty laughing?" Is Your Majesty not ashamed, but proud? ”

Zhao Junsheng asked rhetorically: "Have the envoys ever heard of someone spitting out the fat that they ate in their stomachs?" ”

If you want to be reasonable, Yu Zijun is not afraid, and he still has reason on his side, he immediately said: "Yu heard that the monarchs and ministers of the Qianguo State and tens of millions of people also think that they are orthodox in the world and that they are a state of etiquette, but why do they use the means of forcible seizure to openly violate the peace treaty and occupy our country's territory?" Yu also heard that ······"

This Yu Zijun said a lot of things, reasoning, telling facts, quoting scriptures, and secretly ridiculing and sarcastic, and said that the monarchs and ministers in the court were almost embarrassed and ashamed.

Zhao Junsheng scolded in his heart, yes, this Yu Zijun's mouth is really powerful, he swept his eyes over the ministers, hoping that someone would stand up and refute Yu Zijun, not to mention defeating Yu Zijun, at least let the people of the world think that Qianguo is famous.

At this time, I saw an official stand up and say: "Yu Gong's words are wrong, I sent troops because of the locust plague in Bashu, and a month after the locust plague passed, I did not see your court to carry out disaster relief, the people of Bashu starved to death countless, and more than 100,000 people poured into the territory of our Daqian, if our army does not send troops to Bashu, I am afraid that hundreds of people will die of famine, or be suppressed by those inactive officials of your country, since your court does not practice benevolence, why not send troops to save the people of Bashu and save them from fire and water?" ”

Zhao Junsheng patted the royal case and laughed: "Well said! ”

Yu Zijun said coldly: "Hmph, it's just a strong word, no matter how you quibble, you can't get rid of the fact that you are treacherous and forcibly occupy our territory, your country's shameless behavior will be scolded and laughed at by the people of the world, and your court will lose the hearts of the people!" ”

The official retorted: "This is just your wishful thinking, my great cadres and people are now living and working in peace and contentment, living a good life, and their families are rich, and the people have unprecedented support for Your Majesty and the imperial court!" On the other hand, the emperor was brutal and unkind, the ministers and officials deceived the superiors and subordinates, and wantonly bullied and looted the people, making the people everywhere miserable and miserable, and they rose up one after another, Liu Song should have perished a long time ago, and I will be able to destroy the rotten Song Kingdom, and rescue the people of the Southern Dynasty who are in dire straits, so that they can live a happy and healthy life! ”

"Good, good, well said!" Zhao Junsheng laughed and applauded, and the ministers also applauded, praising the official for speaking well.

Yu Zijun's face was blue and red for a while, and he changed several colors one after another, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore and walked away.

The monarchs and ministers in the main hall saw Yu Zijun leave in embarrassment, and the atmosphere became happy.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the official who had just refuted Yu Zijun and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The official saluted and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the subordinate is Jing Min, the director of Honglu Temple!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Okay, Jing Min, today you said that you defeated the envoys of the Southern Dynasty, and did not damage my reputation as a great cadre, and I have a great merit, I will give you a promotion to the first level, a bounty of 100 coins, and 100 horses of silk!" ”

Jing Min hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

At this time, Dongfang Chen stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Poor Dao is worried that the fine work planted in our country by the Southern Dynasty will spread rumors, control public opinion, mislead the people, and be unfavorable to the imperial court, so the imperial court should respond as soon as possible, so as not to be passive at that time!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and felt that this suggestion was reasonable, and immediately said: "The Ministry of Rites is responsible for doing a good job in guiding public opinion, so that the people think that the imperial court's dispatch of troops to Bashu this time is a famous division!" The Imperial City Division should also pay more attention, and once someone spreads rumors to mislead the people, they will be investigated and arrested immediately! ”

The heads of the two yamen immediately stood up and received the order: "Obey the order!" ”
