Section 74 Grotesque Thoughts
Zhao Yiru almost every sentence begins with a "permission", and her voice is sonorous and powerful, and every sentence is very unexpected.
"Allow Dongxia to transfer his own treasury, books, and official offices, ......"
"Allow my Dongxia people who do not want to stay in the Northern Plains to move back to the Eastern Xia ......"
"Allow our Dongxia people who are willing to stay in the Northern Plains to live in your country, open our Dongxia embassy, and set up officials to assist your country in managing the ...... of the diaspora."
"Allow me to keep all my private property in the Northern Plains ......"
"Allow me to stay in Dongxia, and the people of your country will move back to Dongxia when they want to return to Dongxia......"
"Allow the people of your country to keep their own customs and assemble, and not to be guilty of different customs and behaviors of the people of your country......"
"Allow my Dongxia expatriates to do business and become the same as the people of your country......"
"Allow my Dongxia to move some of the Huangpu schools and students to Yuyang, the original schools can be used as other institutes, and your country can participate in the teaching, but the sacrificial wine must be served by the people of my Dongxia, and the schools shall not interfere in the name of dissidents, in order to maintain the ......situation of a hundred flowers contending."
"It is permissible to promise a certain number of Dongxia people who are from their hometown in your country to submit an application for a return visit to their hometown......"
β¦β¦
One bite at a time, it was finally finished.
None of the officials present thought about these "permissions," and they were silent for a while. Zhao Yiru finally stopped saying "permission", but said again: "These are basic livelihood guarantees." Peace is peace for the people, and your country must treat our people well. After I have taken notes on the terms and conditions of the agreement, I will explain some of the provisions in detail and answer your country's questions. In addition, there are some requirements between countries in Dongxia: the Northern Plain should be opened as a field, and in addition, there should be no less than ten fields along the border, and the field should not be traded in salt, iron, grain, cloth, tea and other materials in the name of military funds......
"Every year, I will be compensated 200,000 stones of grain, 10,000 stones of tea, and 200,000 horses of cotton cloth in Dongxia......."
Finally, there is a question of principle.
Someone yelled, "Isn't this an old coin?" β
Zhao Yiru sneered and said: "It doesn't hurt if you want to understand it this way, in fact, the reason why we ask for compensation is that the Northern Plains is reclaimed by me in Dongxia for hundreds of thousands of acres of public land, and the houses are not counted, and these, did you have them when you rented your land?" Who is using the water conservancy we are building? Who is the last to collect taxes on the commercial trade we gather? If you look at our annual tax revenues in the North Plains, you'll know that's a drop in the bucket. β
He continued.
"I, Dongxia, want to punish the rebels, and there will be a list for your country, and the traitors on the list will be exchanged for my Dongxia for disposal, of course...... Many of them were originally placed by you, and the two countries fought each other, each with its own master, but some of them were disloyal and unrighteous people, and should be returned for punishment to comfort the soldiers of the two countries. β
In the end, he said: "According to the standards of our Eastern Xia, we will compensate the soldiers and people who died in this war......"
He finished reading.
The next step is the interpretation of the individual clauses.
Tao Kan asked him calmly: "The Northern Plains were defeated by our bloody sacrifices, and now they are still in our hands, naturally we have the final say, if the people you move away, and those who stay are yours, and the lion opens his mouth and asks for compensation and compensation, what else is there in the North Plains?" β
Zhao Yiru said-for-tat: "When we were on lease, what did the Northern Plains have?" There is only wasteland, and all along, my Dongxia has never explicitly said that Dongxia is ours, but the emperor of your country gave it to us as a fief of his wife, and your excuse for forcibly seizing the Northern Plains is just to take back the fiefdom, how can you say that these conditions are unreasonable? If it is because the Northern Plains are in your hands, and you take it for granted that you refuse, then there is no need to negotiate peace, we can still take it back, and if we want to fight, we will try to fight it. Although our Dongxia country is small, we have never been weak to be bullied. β
Yang Xuesheng muttered: "This overseas residence? What do you mean? Such a grotesque idea is unprecedented, and I would like to ask you to explain it in detail. β
Zhao Yiru said with a smile: "How can the expatriates be said to be unprecedented? I heard that the Japanese people sent envoys to live in the Central Plains for a long time after the mission came to the Central Plains, learned the culture and craftsmanship of the Central Plains, opened shops and businesses, and purchased houses and land, and intermarried with the Central Plains people. No. Where do they live? Your. Not only them, but also merchants from the Western Regions, and nobles from foreign exiles, are these all precedents? β
Yang Xuesheng stroked her beard and squinted, thought for a long time and said, "They? It's not quite the same as your country. β
Zhao Yiru replied: "Except for the number of people, there is nothing different. β
He raised his hand towards Tao Kan and said, "And General Tao said just now that the Northern Plain is in your hands, and it was originally yours, which is true, but if we move people away in Dongxia, destroy all the farmland and houses, and return a piece of wasteland, what benefits will your country have?" β
He said: "I Dongxia have this condition, which is to consider and take care of those people who have resettled and resettled, so that they can live according to their own wishes, so that the people who consciously think that we are Dongxia people can keep my Dongxia identity, and do not force those who are unwilling or think that they are already the people of your country...... As for the private property of the people, it is inviolable, and even if they are willing to move north, your country should guarantee it, and the people can also make a contract with each other, and trust each other. β
Finally someone shouted, "It's not safe. These people can stay in the country, but they can't all stay in the Northern Plains, what if suddenly one day they rebel and bring in the Eastern Xia army? β
Zhao Yiru said softly: "My king has already thought about it for the people. If you are not at ease, you can relocate them, but if they do it of their own free will, you will provide the cost of the relocation, and our envoys can even help you to persuade them of the property and houses, which cannot be moved, in the presence of our envoys, for a value not less than their own. β
Chen Tianyi had a good understanding, and some were also confused, thinking about it, and heard someone next to him sigh quietly: "This is really thinking about the people." β
He turned his head to look for the sound, but he didn't know where it came from, and his suspicion fell on Feng Shanyu who was not far away, but Feng Shanyu definitely didn't speak.
A voice echoed in Chen Tianyi's mind: "Peace talks shouldn't be open to high conditions, no matter how you look at it, Dongxia will still suffer, will he do business." β
Yang Xuesheng took a deep breath.
If such conditions are the same, it is much higher than the emperor's bottom line, and the people's private property does not move, and it cannot be regarded as his Dongxia, and the taxes are handed over to Jingkang.
As for the stay of the military and civilians, it is not a big problem, and it will gradually fade away for the people of a country in a country.
There is no problem in negotiating peace on this condition. But he didn't make a decision immediately, and cautiously told SΓΉ: "You go back and talk to your king, the conditions are basically fine, but Prince Qin Ying has not yet arrived, let me send someone to say something halfway, and then it will be settled." β
Zhao Yiru said: "No. After dawn, the credentials were handed over, and they were immediately signed and signed. The death of the general Zhang Tietou made my king feel extremely sad, he was worried about your low efficiency, and if you delay it again and again, can the people in the war afford it? In the future, we will negotiate peace, and our Dongxia people are gone, and we will still wait for peace with you? β
Feng Shanyu sighed leisurely, this sigh was clearly audible in the silent hall of Yaqi, and it was extraordinarily long.
If it is delayed again and again, can the people in the war afford to drag it out?
What kind of king is this?
Even if he is in a hurry to negotiate peace, he shouldn't say it directly, doesn't he understand, can't he express his earnest thoughts? No. He understands. That's how he is, he's afraid that if he delays, the people will suffer.
Zhao Yiru didn't say goodbye and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Yang Xuesheng was excited, stood up and asked, "You are not sincere." You come back. You sue me, since you have decided to negotiate peace, why do you ask Gao Xian to show troops and cede so many cities? β
Zhao Yiru turned her back to him, looked up to the sky and laughed: "The heart of a villain." Who sued you for ceding the city? Our king replaced the land north of Heishui in the north of Gao Xian with the cities of Huangxi, so that Gao Xian could restore the former Bohai State, and Gao Xian people sent troops to help. He walked forward and said loudly: "Our king conquered the desert for the Yong people, but you poked him in the back, and I am afraid that you will come again, and find a frame in the middle." β
He turned his head and smiled contemptuously: "Once the desert is conquered, how great should this be for the Yong people?" Can Emperor Zhongwu be compared? β
Chen Tianyi heard someone whisper again: "Arrogance." β
This time he found the source of the voice, and several old officials came together to hum.
Zhao Yiru left under the escort of the soldiers.
The discussion in the hall suddenly erupted, and someone shouted, "My lord." My lord. Dongxia: Is this a condition? So you agreed to make peace? It means that they are scared of being beaten. Feng Shanyu seemed to be unable to hold back, suddenly raised his head, looked up to the sky and laughed, the official hat that Xiong Xilai had put on again was not fastened, fell from his head, and fell to the ground with a bang. He laughed, "Ridiculous. It's ridiculous. β
And they all looked at him angrily.
Feng Shanyu was still complacent, as if he had nothing to do to pick the official hat.
Xiong Xilai explained: "Dongxia did not give up the northern expedition, what if they drove the army back? Not to mention a lot of power that we don't count. β
Where is this power?
The officials in Bishu really don't know it out of their eyes.
Yang Xuesheng was tired, and he pressed his hand to his head. Now Gao Xian can send troops, that is from Gao Xian to Chenzhou, after all, Chenzhou's tripartite agreement, Dongxia is their guarantee. After being patient and listening to the discussion for a while, he finally stretched out his hand and asked, "Disperse." Let's disperse. If he wants to negotiate peace, he can only ask you to agree, and many of them are considered by him for you......"
The officials left one after another, Chen Tianyi originally came instead of his mother, to say something conducive to peace, but the peace really began to be discussed, Tao Kan did not keep him, he went out with everyone, and when he got outside, he found that Feng Shanyu kept looking at him, but he did not have a good impression, because he was wild and uninhibited in front of the public, it was the appearance of a dead man, so he said casually: "Sir doesn't have something to tell me." I don't know you. β
Feng Shanyu seemed to be coping, and forcefully hooked out a smile and said, "I don't know you either." It's just that you look good, this heavenly court is very good, and it is somewhat similar to the king of Dongxia. β
Chen Tianyi was shocked.
All along, no one said he looked alike.
Feng Shanyu muttered, "I'm just a little dazzled. In a trance. β
He waved his hand and motioned for Chen Tianyi to leave quickly, while he lowered his head and muttered as he walked: "I will return to my hometown tomorrow." I'll be back tomorrow. Can't stay. β
Chen Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, Feng Shanyu walked forward, and as he walked, the snow fell, swinging in the sky.
Chen Tianyi looked at him from behind and said in his heart, "I thought he would say something to me." He doesn't seem to know. β
At this time, the people around Yang Xuesheng chased after him, overtook him, and ran towards Feng Shanyu.
Chen Tianyi walked forward and heard the man say, "Lord Feng." The imperial court sympathized with your merits and placed you as an official in Beizhou, after all, there are many Dongxia people here, and you know them. I heard you're hell-bent on going home, right? No need to go back. The court has already sent them over, halfway there. β
Feng Shanyu grabbed the man violently and shouted, "Why can't you let me resign?" If you bring them in, I will resign, and I will resign...... I took them home. β
Chen Tianyi walked over.
Those who betrayed Dongxia, he still rejected it in his heart, who knows, will he go to Dongxia in the future to get his future wealth?
He was thinking: This official is afraid that the traitors listed in Dongxia have him, right?
