045 Summation (3)
Diplomacy is a big deal for any country. The slaves began to bust in the Golden Palace again, cleaning the various halls and wiping every corner.
In addition to the superficial work, Mozang Kodun also had to consider the ritual of the audience and the interpretation of the mission when it came. But Mozang Dashi hurried back and said that the old translator, Kirgqi, had died.
"Kirgqi is dead?" Mozang Kodorn was amazed, "When, how did you die?" ”
"I went last month, and Uncle Kirgqi was not in good health, and he was getting older." Mozang Dashi said.
"It's over, it's about to be settled, where can we go to find a translator?" Mozang Kodun's head suddenly grew bigger.
"Sister, it's better to find a businessman who can speak Mandarin." Mozang Dazi proposed. On the grassland, there were many merchants who sold sheepskin and cowhide to the Central Plains, and then bought silk, tea, etc. back to the Central Plains, and then sold them to the nobles of Xiang Qiang at a high price.
"Merchant...... "Mozang Kedun thought about it carefully, but it still didn't work, "The merchant can only use some daily words, and the officials of the Chu State like to quote scriptures and classics, and there are many idioms. If you want to be not ashamed in negotiations, you can't just know the skin, you have to find someone who is proficient in the culture of the Central Plains. ”
"Proficient in Chu culture?" Mozang Daxi immediately thought of a person, "How is Tuobaling?" ”
"He." Mozang Kodun was the least welcome to this person, but now that he was about to meet with the mission, Mozang Kodun had to say depressedly, "Okay, I have to look for him." ”
The two were about to summon the second prince Tuoba Ling over, but suddenly, a familiar figure broke into Mozang Kedun's sight......
That man was Qin Luo, who, like the other slaves, was kneeling on the ground and wiping the floor tiles. Mozang Kedun looked at the back of this slave very familiarly, pointed at Qin Luo and said, "That slave, you come here." ”
Qin Luo had a little ominous premonition in his heart, he lowered his head and knelt on the ground, trying to keep his head low. But Mozang Kedun said, "Lift up your head." ”
The so-called blessing is not a curse, but a disaster cannot be avoided. Qin Luo lowered his eyes, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, so he had to raise his head slowly. Mozang Kedun looked at him and asked, "Is that you?" You are the captive who persuaded the old khan to release him, called ...... Qin, Qin what? ”
"I forgot about it a long time ago." Mozang Dasi, who stood beside Kedun, would remember the name of a little pariah?
"Slave Qin Luo, meet Mozang Kedun." Qin Luo lowered his head uneasily, not knowing how much Mozang Kedun knew.
In fact, Mozang Kedun didn't have that much leisure to inquire about and supervise a slave, she just remembered that Qin Luo seemed to have committed something, and was driven away from Tuoba Yan by the old khan.
"Why are you in the Golden Palace?" Mozang Kodorn asked.
"The minions are now serving by the Khan's side." Qin Luo replied.
"Oh." Mozang Kedun nodded, she estimated that Qin Luo might have been wronged, and her son forgave his sins, so he came back again.
Qin Luo knelt down nervously, not knowing what Mozang Kedun wanted to do to him. At this moment, I heard her ask again: "Qin Luo, do you know how to translate?" ”
“…… Will be a little. "Qin Luo used to be in the mission of the Chu State, and he was the translator.
"That's good, when you meet with the mission tomorrow, you will translate." Mozang Kedun was secretly happy in his heart, and finally found a replacement, so he didn't have to pull down his face to beg Tuoba Ling.
Things in the world may have their own providence in the dark. Qin Luo single-handedly facilitated the peace negotiation, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, he could actually witness it with his own eyes. Qin Luo was both nervous and excited at this time, and he naturally preferred to listen in the Golden Palace Hall rather than waiting anxiously for the outcome of the peace discussion outside.
"You're going tomorrow too?" Tuoba Yan was a little surprised by his mother's decision, "Can you?" ”
"Don't worry." Qin Luo is still familiar with diplomatic translation.
Tuoba Yan asked again, "Did Mother suspect anything when she saw you?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be." Qin Luo analyzed, "She can't even remember my name, and it is estimated that the old khan has suppressed my affairs." ”
"yes, a lot of people don't know what you've done." Tuoba Yan's tone was a little unkind. Although it has been a long time, now that he thinks about it, Tuoba Yan is still a little angry. Then he thought about it again, Qin Luo had already been punished, did he really want him to die?
In the Chu State Mission, there are also many people who can't sleep at this moment. Chief Envoy Zhao heard that Xiang Qiang's superiors were all fierce and cruel people, and the more he thought about tomorrow's peace, the more afraid he became, Xiang Qiang was bloodthirsty and unreasonable. If Xiang Qiang does not agree to negotiate peace, it is also possible to pull them out directly and behead them.
Lu Ziyu also tossed and turned in the tent and couldn't sleep. This is his second mission to Qingyun, and he is not afraid. As an inconsequential deputy, apart from pouring tea and water for everyone and occasionally acting as an interpreter, he could not speak in the mission.
But Lu Ziyu is still a hot-blooded Chu man, he looks at Lord Zhao with such a timid and afraid appearance, and he has little expectations for tomorrow's peace.
On the day of the peace meeting, the people present were the Khan and the Servan Khotun, the King of the Great Khan of Mozang and the Mozang Kedun, and the generals and ministers of Qingyun were also invited. The main hall of the Golden Palace, after Tuoba Yan succeeded to the throne, has not been so solemn for a long time
Serious negotiations.
Tuoba sat on the throne of the Khan in the middle of the main hall, next to him was the Servan Kedun. On either side, there were the Great Khan of Mozang and Mozang Kedun, and the generals and courtiers below sat in a large circle.
Qin Luo, as an interpreter, stood at the edge of the main hall, waiting for the Central Plains envoy to enter.
After a few drums, Chief Envoy Zhao came from outside. Along the way, he saw Xiang Qiang's soldiers standing on both sides of the road, striking the ground with spears in unison, making an earth-shaking sound of "dong dong dong". Coupled with their fierce expressions and hideous faces, Master Zhao almost couldn't walk.
Seeing this, the two deputy envoys hurriedly stepped forward, supported Principal Envoy Zhao left and right, and helped him to the gate of the Golden Palace with half a drag and half a pull. Lord Zhao calmed down, tidied up his clothes, and then slowly entered the main hall.
Xiang Qiang's first dismissal almost frightened Zhao's guts. Lu Ziyu became more and more worried about the things that followed, and sure enough, it was the pampered royal family and nobles, where could he do the drudgery of the envoy.
Ever since the Zhao envoy came in, his legs had been shaking. He trembled and saluted to the people on the stage: "The lower official is the state of Chu...... Missions, Chiefs. On behalf of our country...... Emperor, to ...... Khan...... Say hello. ”
The other deputy envoys of the mission only felt that their faces were gloomy, and they were eager to find a crack in the ground and burrow underneath. Lu Ziyu looked helpless, and calmly translated the words of Master Zhao. The rest of the deputy envoys could only rejoice that their interpreters were quite calm and did not say anything.
"Welcome to Qingyun." Mozang Kodor looked at the archer's trembling legs, and then half-jokingly, "The envoy doesn't need to be nervous. ”
Qin Luo took a step forward and translated Mozang Kedun's words word for word.
However, Lu Ziyu was taken aback, he blinked vigorously, he didn't expect to see his former colleague Qin Luo on such an occasion in Xiang Qiang.
He and Qin Luo were officials in the Ministry of Rites together, and they also sent Xiang Qiang together. It's just that Qin Luo is a translator, and he is not very familiar with Xiang Qiang's dialect. Later, thanks to Qin Luo's careful teaching, he slowly learned how to translate and was able to take charge of the mission on his own.
Since the country was broken, Lu Ziyu has inquired about Qin Luo's news in many ways, but unfortunately there is no news. He thought that Qin Luo had unfortunately died, but now, Qin Luo had become an interpreter for the enemy country. Could he really ...... Mutiny?
However, the current situation does not allow him to think too much, and the negotiations continue......
I only heard Qin Luo introduce to the mission: "This is Khan, Kedun. ”
"Long live Khan, Khatun Chitose." Chief Envoy Zhao hurriedly bent down and saluted.
"This is the Great Khan of Mozang." Qin Luo continued.
Lord Zhao looked to the left in surprise and saw a man in his forties with a beard, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure. He hurriedly bent down and greeted, "Hello King Khan." ”
"This is the Khan's mother, Mozang Khodon." Qin Luo was afraid that Lord Zhao would come to Xiang Qiang for the first time, and he didn't know that there was a difference between Ke Dun and Ke Dun.
After Qin Luo's prompting, Lord Zhao really understood, and hurriedly smiled: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old." ”
Xiang Qiang did not have the name of the Queen Mother, although the envoy of Zhao spoke Chinese, Mozang Kedun still heard it, and he was different from the name when he greeted Servant Lannuo before. Mozang Kedun smiled and repeated in a stiff Central Plains language in confusion: "Tai...... After? ”
"It is the name of the Central Plains for the emperor's mother." Qin Luo explained in Xiang Qiang's dialect.
"Hahaha, I like this title, it's good, it's good!" Mozang Kodun seemed to be very happy, and he no longer despised Lord Zhao so much.
The envoy of Zhao asked someone to bring up a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and said to the Khan: "This is a little heart of our Chu State to the Khan, congratulations to the Khan on his accession to the throne." ”
After Tuoba smiled, he glanced at his mother slightly, only to see a greedy glint flash in Mozang Kedun's eyes.
"In addition to congratulating him, we also want to ask the Khan to stop using troops in the Central Plains. We are willing to exchange a large amount of gold and silver, silk, cattle and sheep for peace. ”
"Don't even think about it." Before the khan could speak, Mozang Dag waved his hand domineeringly and refused.
Qin Luo translated calmly: "The Great Khan of Mozang does not agree to negotiate peace. ”
When Envoy Zhao heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Please give us a chance, for the sake of peace between the two countries, we are willing to exchange money and even land." ”
After spreading out the hole cards so quickly, Lu Ziyu glanced at Master Zhao with hatred and sadness, and had to translate it to the other party word by word.
"Ceded land?" The Great Khan of Mozang finally came to the negotiating interest, and joked, "The land of the Central Plains, I am only interested in the north of the Lan River. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Qiang's people laughed, and the envoys of the Central Plains such as Chief Envoy Zhao didn't understand why they laughed at all, only Lu Ziyu, who understood Xiang Qiang's words, showed a helpless expression.
The bottom line given to them by the imperial court was to cede the land north of the Lan River. With Zhao's urine nature, he must have agreed without thinking about it.
However, the change was only in an instant, and he only listened to Qin Luo's expressionless translation: "The Great Khan King of Mozang wants the Chu State to cede Pingcheng. ”
