Chapter Ninety-Seven: Please Call Me Representative of Party A
"New Tang Dynasty Historical Examination" records:
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, in the early summer, Du He and Situ Wang Jue and others signed the first unequal treaty at the beginning of the budding capitalism, the content of the treaty was mainly land cution, reparations, this treaty is missing, it is rumored that Du He took to the North American continent on the way, encountered wind and waves damage, but after the treaty was signed, Du He harvested 1,000 taels of silver, and the land amounted to 500 acres...... This treaty was signed near Yongning Fang, so it was called the "Yongning Treaty" by later historians, and it was also the first unequal treaty signed by Du He in his life, of course, according to the research of historians, Du He signed as many as 10,000 unequal treaties in his life, and each treaty brought him rich material wealth. Therefore, Duhe was also called the ruthless "devil" by the people of the time......
……
Early the next morning.
Under Du He's arrangement, the two negotiators gathered in the spacious courtyard of Datang Furniture Factory.
The day was overcast, and the gray sky seemed to be painted over and over again with diluted ink.
After a while, a light rain began to fall.
The rain silk, which is as thin as a cow's hair, falls on the green leaves, like pearls.
In the courtyard of the furniture factory, there are a total of five long tables, which are put together to form a long square table.
The finest silk brought from Jiangnan took two horses to cover the table completely.
When many people saw it, they secretly thought to themselves, this Duhe is worthy of being a famous gentleman in Chang'an City, and it is really a tyrannical thing to use fine silk to cover the table.
On the left side of the table, there was only one chair, and Du He sat alone, holding a signature pen in his hand, spinning rapidly, looking at the other side, his eyes were not wavering, and he did not look like a fifteen-year-old boy at all.
On the right, it was full of Wang Qi and others, sitting in four rows, full.
In the middle, there are Li Daozong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Hou Junji, the secretary of the Military Department, Fang Xuanling, the middle secretary, as well as Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin.
Originally, Du He also invited Du Ruhui, the father who was a servant of the door, and Du Ruhui quickly avoided it as soon as he heard the content of today's negotiations.
This strange scene is inexplicably full of solemnity.
For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, but their eyes were staring at Du He intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Qi and the others found that from the moment they entered the door, everything was arranged by Du He, and unconsciously, they fell below in momentum.
Qin Qiong knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Entrusted by Du He, today, I will be the host of today's negotiations. ”
After speaking, he took out a piece of paper and read: "In today's negotiations, both sides present uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness, the principles of friendly consultation, the principle of jointly promoting development, the principle of peaceful consultation, and the principle of non-aggression against each other. ”
As soon as these strange words came out, everyone was a little confused.
Needless to say, that manuscript must have been given to Qin Shubao by Du He.
Not to mention, many people present felt that the Five Principles of Peace Negotiations were quite reasonable, and they were stunned for a moment.
Qin Qiong coughed twice and said: "Next, let me introduce the two sides of today's negotiation, Party A, Du He, on behalf of Datang Furniture Factory, Party B, Wang Qi, etc., on behalf of Confucianism. ”
Kong Yingda, Pei Ju, and Chen Shuda glanced at each other, all a little helpless.
This Du He actually used the word "wait" to replace their group of people.
Qin Qiong continued: "Today's notaries have also become supervisors and coordinators: Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Master Li Daozong, Shangshu of the Military Department, Hou Junji, Lord Hou, Zhongshu Ling, Lord Fang Xuanling, Observer, General Zuo Lingjunjun, General Cheng Zhijie Cheng, and a recording officer, who is the person in charge of the production of the revolving wooden chair of Datang Furniture Factory, Zhang Du. Everyone is welcome! ”
Bang bang bang.
Duhe applauded.
The crowd didn't know why, but they still applauded.
Some people who have bad brains have already been blindfolded at this time.
Where have you ever seen this negotiation battle, isn't it just a judgment? Observers, supervisors and coordinators, recorders, and moderators are just clouds and clouds, and I don't know what to do.
However, since he came to negotiate with Duhe, everything can only be done by Duhe.
Qin Qiong picked up the manuscript again, looked at Wang Qi and the others, and said, "Please send a representative to explain Party B's demands." ”
What does it mean to be represented?
Wang Qi and the others pondered for a long time before they reacted.
After everyone discussed, Wang Jue stood up.
Wang Jue tidied up his clothes and said slowly: "I am waiting for the appeal, but I want to ask Du Gongzi to come to His Majesty for the sake of Wang Youxing and other scholars who are young and ignorant, to intercede for everyone, please open your Majesty's net, don't exile this group of scholars to Lingnan for ten years, the sage said, God has the virtue of a good life, and now the four seas are one, and the world is peaceful......"
Wang Luo Li said it in a hurry, and Du He was about to fall asleep.
Finally, when Wang Jue finished speaking.
Du He turned his head and asked Cheng Yanjin: "Uncle Cheng, do you understand?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin pursed his lips and said unceremoniously: "What did you say, I almost said that I was asleep with Old Cheng." ”
Wang Jue suddenly looked embarrassed.
He thinks he is brilliant, but in the face of a person like Lao Cheng, isn't it just a for horses.
Du He knocked on the table with a signature pen and said: "Representative Party B, please express your demands in no more than five sentences, otherwise I have reason to think that your side is here to mess around and not to negotiate at all." In my opinion, there is no need to negotiate this negotiation, Wang Youxing and those guys, let's go to Lingnan to feed the poisonous insects. ”
Kong Yingda hurriedly said: "Du Gongzi ......"
Du He corrected: "At the negotiation table, please call me the representative of Party A." ”
Kong Yingda said helplessly: "Okay.................. Party A's representative!! Please wait a moment, we will meet your request. ”
Then, Kong Yingda pulled Wang Qi to discuss for a long time, and finally, Kong Yingda stood up.
Kong Yingda first organized the language for a long time before saying: "Supervisors, observers, hosts, recorders, and representatives of Party A, our appeal is: ask the representative of Party A to intercede in front of His Majesty, and let go of the scholars who went to the furniture factory to make trouble that day, because the original intention of the scholars was to prevent the production of revolving chairs, not to hurt the emperor." ”
After saying a few words, Kong Yingda felt that she was about to collapse.
One by one, these new terms are almost dying.
After finishing speaking, Kong Yingda slowly sat down.
Qin Qiong was about to open her mouth but forgot to say anything, quickly looked at the manuscript, and asked, "Representative of Party A, may I ask if you agree with Party B's appeal and whether there are any conditions." ”
Du He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it to Qin Qiong: "Host, please read out my conditions." ”
Qin Qiong picked it up and read it aloud: "Party A's representative conditions, first, compensation of 10,000 taels of silver, and second, compensation of 1,000 acres of land." ”
Wow......
