044 Summation (2)
After that, it's even simpler. Tuoba Yan didn't even need to inform his mother, and directly brought a dozen slaves into the Golden Palace. On the grassland, slaves have no human rights, they can be bought and sold, they can be whipped and killed wantonly, and no one cares about the Golden Palace, whether there are more or fewer slaves.
Qin Luo lowered his head, lined up in the middle of a group of slaves, and followed everyone into the Khan's dormitory. When the slaves saw Tuoba, they quickly knelt on the ground, trembling. They feared that the Khan, like the tyrannical nobles, would take pleasure in mistreating slaves and even killing people.
Tuoba's gaze swept over the row of slaves kneeling in front of the bed one by one, and then he quickly recognized Qin Luo's back. Unable to communicate with other slaves, although Qin Luo knelt, he had a calm and unhurried temperament, he leaned his head on the ground, did not tremble, and did not look left and right.
"The Golden Palace is short of manpower, and I came to you to let you work. You all have to listen to Jimmy, and do what she tells me to do. Tuoba's deep voice sounded, although he tried to make himself pretend to be more mature, Qin Luo still heard a trace of immaturity.
Jimmy stepped forward and saw Tuoba's eyes glancing at one of the people underground, and he knew that person was Qin Luo. She cleared her throat and said to the slaves below, "You leave one of you to clean the dormitory." The rest of me went with me and went outside to clean up. ”
The slaves whispered yes, then looked up at Jimmy to see who she was going to leave behind. Jimmy pretended to look at it, and then pointed at Qin Luo, "You, stay." ”
"Yes." Qin Luo raised his eyes and met Tuoba Yan's eyes.
After Jimmy took the slaves out, Tuoba Yan came down to help Qin Luo up, and said apologetically: "Qin Luo, I have wronged you." ”
Qin Luo got up, smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Seeing that Qin Luo didn't care, Tuoba Yan relaxed his heart, he went straight to the point, and asked anxiously: "What is the important matter, why do you suddenly want to see me?" ”
Qin Luo was not verbose, and asked directly: "Khan knows that the envoy of the State of Chu is here." ”
Tuoba Yan nodded, "I heard about it, but my mother and uncle were unwilling to negotiate peace and turned the Chu people out of the city." ”
The Great Khan of Mozang wanted to unify the United States and threaten all directions, so he was naturally unwilling to negotiate peace. This was expected by Qin Luo, so he was not surprised at all, but said: "Khan, do you think you should negotiate peace?" ”
"Me?" Tuoba Yan really hadn't thought about it, he thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it matters. It's okay to meet the envoys of the Central Plains to see if the conditions they give are good. If it's not good, it's not going to be peaceful. ”
"Khan, negotiating peace now will do more harm to Qingyun than harm, and do more harm to Heiyan than good." Qin Luo analyzed, "On the contrary, if there is a war with the Chu State, Heiyan will be stronger and a greater threat to the Khan. ”
"Why?" Tuoba asked.
"With the strength of the Black Rock Division, it is indeed able to compete with the now weak Chu State. At that time, the Great Khan of Mozang will be able to seize a large area of land north of the Lan River in the Chu State, as well as a large number of slaves, grain and grass, and soldiers. When the black rock part becomes stronger, the green cloud is weak. When the time comes, the Great Khan of Mozang will come back and seize Qingyun, Khan, do you think you are so sure that you can fight against the Black Rock Army? ”
"......" Tuoba was silent, even if it was the Qingyun Iron Guard, I am afraid it would be difficult to defeat the Black Panther Cavalry of Black Rock.
"However, we are now negotiating peace with Nanchu, and will we soon be cheaper for the Central Plains?" Tuoba asked.
"They will bring a large number of cattle and sheep, gold and silver treasures. How can this be considered cheap for the Central Plains? Qin Luo said, "Moreover, if the wealth looted from the war is definitely attributed to the Black Rock Ministry." But the money contributed by the Chu State is directly given to the Khan. ”
Faced with such a huge gap, Tuoba Yan's heart moved, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense. But even if I want to negotiate peace, my mother and uncle don't agree, what can I do? You know, I don't have much effect when I talk now. ”
"Start with Mozang Kodun." Qin Luo had already figured out a way to deal with it, "Mozang Kedun didn't order the expulsion of the mission to appear, which means that she still wants to see the mission a little. All you have to do is persuade Mozang Kodun to agree to receive the mission. ”
"What if you meet him, Uncle will definitely attend. When the time comes, if he objects, won't the ending be the same? ”
"Khan, you are Khan." Qin Luo said, "Although you have no real power, you are still Xiang Qiang's extremely noble khan. Even Mozang Kodun and the Great Khan have to give you enough face in front of outsiders. When the time comes, as long as you say yes, how can they refuse? ”
Tuoba's eyes widened, "If I say yes, they'll agree?" ”
"In front of the envoys of the Chu State, as well as the ministers and generals of Qingyun, if they want to oppose it, they have to consider your identity." Qin Luo knew that although Mozang Kedun was in control of Qingyun, after all, if his name was not right, his words would not be good, and if his words were not good, he would not succeed. Moreover, there are Qingyun Iron Guards loyally guarding the Khan, even if it is the Great Khan King of Black Rock, he has to weigh one or two.
"I see what you mean." "I'll talk to my mother tomorrow." ”
The next day, at lunchtime, he mentioned the incident to his mother. Tuoba Yan suggested that instead of letting the mission dry up, it was better to meet them and reject them with righteous words and make them die.
For the first time, Mozang Kedun saw that his son actually cared about politics, and after listening to it with great interest, he said: "I want to too, but your uncle hates the Central Plains people and doesn't want to see them." ”
Mozang Kedun said this, quite reluctantly, Tuoba Yan keenly discovered his mother's attitude, so he asked, "Then does my mother want to see the envoy of the Central Plains?" ”
Mozang Kodun was indeed ambiguous about this, and she hesitated, "I...... Whatever, it's okay to see it, it's okay not to see it. But since your uncle doesn't want to see him, why should we disobey him? ”
After going back, Tuoba Yan conveyed his mother's words to Qin Luo. After hearing this, Qin Luo had a plan and asked Tuoba Yan: "If she sees that the mission is beneficial to Mozang Kedun, she will change her mind." ”
"Perhaps." Tuoba knew very little about his mother, and he didn't know much about his son like Mozang Kodun.
In the next few days, Qin Luo took time to run out of the Golden Palace and went to the cave near the stone mountain where the blacksmith Sun took him last time. He recalled what the blacksmith Sun had said, wrote a note, pressed it with a stone, and hid it in a hidden place. The note suggested that the mission meet with the Khan and give Mozang Kotun a box of jewels under the pretext of congratulating the new Khan on his accession to the throne.
As for how Blacksmith Sun could meet the people of the Mission, Qin Luo believed that it would not be difficult for him. Since he was able to find out the bottom line of this peace negotiation last time, it means that Blacksmith Sun was able to contact the people of the mission.
Sure enough, after two or three days, the mission sent another message to Mozang Kodun with a generous gift.
Looking at the gorgeous gifts, Mozang Kedun was really tempted. She said to the Great Khan of Mozang, "It is better to meet them, they are here to meet the Khan, and we will not refuse, and besides, they have sent a big gift." ”
"You have your eye on that box of jewelry? If you want to take the big one, can you not be greedy for small gains. King Mozang said with hatred that iron does not become steel.
Mozang Kedun disagreed, "It's just a meeting, what does it matter." They want to make peace, but if you don't agree. ”
In the end, the Great Khan of Mozang finally obeyed his sister and agreed to meet with the Central Plains Mission. So the mission smoothly entered Danyang City, preparing to meet the new khan three days later.
