Chapter Ninety-Four: Everything Has a Price
Not every banquet can be enjoyed by the guests and the host, especially the banquet between countries, which is actually a diplomatic temptation.
As for whether the marriage between the two countries can be made, Zhou Zong, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, could not make the decision, and he had to return to China to ask the lord of the country to decide, and the banquet ended in an embarrassing atmosphere.
Once it comes to state affairs, it is the marriage of one's own children, and as parents, they have no right to decide, let alone such an insulting marriage.
It must be known that at this time, Zhou Qiang, the eldest daughter of Zhou Zong, also known as the Great Zhou Queen, has now married Li Yu, the sixth son of Li Jing, the lord of Li Tang, and has raised a child in the three years since she got married. If he agreed to Song Ting's request and married all the two daughters to Wen Qihang, this would be a serious insult to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that Zhou Zong, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in such a situation, could only accompany the smiling face and socialize, he was angry but couldn't do it, and sighed lightly in his heart when he heard Qihang, since ancient times, a weak country has no diplomacy, and he will not deceive me.
At this time, the Southern Tang Dynasty, after several blows by Later Zhou Chai Rong, has basically defeated it, and the Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing lowered himself to the throne of the emperor and called him the lord of the country, and he already had the meaning of recognizing the Later Zhou as the suzerain. After the Great Song Dynasty ascended to the throne without bloodshed, it did not damage the strength of the national dynasty, but showed military strength far beyond that of the Later Zhou in the two counterinsurgency wars. As the weaker side, the Southern Tang Dynasty had little choice but to continue to choose to bow down to the state if it wanted to keep the country.
Pingbai got two beautiful and beautiful women as wives and concubines, and they are also a pair of world-famous sister flowers, as long as they are normal men, there should be no displeasure, but at this time, Wen Qihang, who returned to the camp after participating in the banquet, kept sighing.
"Wen Shuai, now you should be proud of the spring breeze, why lament? It must be known that His Majesty not only openly promised that after the class teacher returned to the court, he would give you an official and a knighthood, but also gave you a pair of sisters who are unparalleled in the world as a wife. should be happy, but why are you so sad? Seeing that Wen Qihang, who was riding on the horse, kept sighing, Pan Mei asked with some confusion.
In his opinion, now that he has heard the four joys of his life, they have already accounted for two, and all of them are of extraordinary quality, and he doesn't know how to say it, but he is just a pair of unparalleled beauty and sisters, and they are sisters, so they will envy countless people.
"Should Ben Shuai be happy?" Wen Qihang snorted softly.
"Of course, since His Majesty promised to give you an additional rank and a knight, then at least you have to be promoted to a knight, but it is a viscount, in fact, this is not the key, the key is that there is a pair of peerless flowers! The glamorous name of the Zhou sisters, that is heard all over the world, I really envy us! Pan Mei said enviously.
Wen Qihang turned his head and glanced at Pan Mei, this damn Pan Mei, I didn't expect that he was still a pervert, coupled with his very deceptive handsome skin, now he has the potential to be a flower thief, and I don't know how many good women will be harmed in the future, this is a traitor through the ages, do you want to eliminate harm for the people now?
Wen Qihang is still thinking nonsense.
Pan Mei saw that he was a little stunned, as if he was thinking, so she continued to speak: "Wen Shuai, are you right?" ”
"Yes, yes! Ben Shuai is about to become infamous, and he is happy that he is strong. Wen Qihang said angrily.
"Huh?" Pan Mei said in surprise. He didn't quite understand why he was notorious.
Wen Qihang sighed: "Zhou Qiang, the eldest daughter of Zhou Zong, you know, right? ”
"You know? Beauty! Pan Mei wondered.
"You know the beauty, don't you know, but Zhou Qiang is already married, not only is she married, but her son has already given birth to one. Ben Shuai so openly robbed other people's wives and concubines, not only is it a mortal enemy, but it will also be notorious, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, you know? It's just that he thought about it for a while, and he was scolded for thousands of years.
General Pan, how much do you think Ben Shuai's fate will be better than Cao Apu? "Smell the airway.
"This....... This ......." Pan Mei gasped, but she didn't know what to say.
There is no major event except life and death, but in the eyes of the ancients, life is not a major event, and death is not a major event. In their opinion, the most important thing is the posthumous name, from the emperor to the Li people, they all attach great importance to fame, and Taoists can even use fame to restrain the supreme imperial power.
After death, not being scolded by future generations is their primary goal, and once a person's reputation is ruined, future generations will suffer.
The kind of thinking in the West, after my death, that is in charge of the flood is not much market in China.
In the minds of the Chinese people, the most important thing for a person is to live a face, that is, reputation.
This kind of blatant snatching of other people's wives and concubines will definitely be scolded by eternity.
"What a mistake!" Wen Qihang lamented. That's the consequence of the.
Zhao Lao Er is the ancestor of the conspiracy, a character who can rely on him to play the next country, for this kind of small thing, it is simply easy. He didn't want to lose the opportunity to attack Li Tang, and he didn't want to be saddled with a black cauldron because of this, finding someone to top the tank was the first choice, and he was the one who was chosen.
"Wen Shuai, since the incident has happened, let's think about the good, Your Majesty is merciful, and he definitely won't intend to do this." Pan Mei said words that he didn't even believe in to comfort Wen Qihang.
Wen Qihang sighed: "I'm afraid that Ben Shuai didn't eat the fox, but caused a commotion!" ”
Tongque Chun locked Er Qiao deeply, how much infamy Cao Cao carried, if this wish came true, it would be worth being scolded, the key is that he didn't eat it! This makes it even more infuriating!
"........" for a long time, this damn Wen Qihang turned out to be afraid of the sky and rejoiced, the beauty didn't get it, but the infamy was borne, Pan Meiwei grinned and said: "Your Majesty has said this, since Your Majesty has said this, he will definitely promote this matter, Wen Shuai doesn't need to worry." ”
Wen Qihang smiled bitterly and said: "What Ben Shuai is most afraid of now is that His Majesty intends to promote this matter, if His Majesty can take this matter as a joke and laugh it off, it will be the best." ”
"........." saw that Qihang's words didn't seem to be fake, Pan Mei was a headache, this damn Wen Qihang wanted a beauty? Still don't want beauty? I just want to make a sycophant, why is it so difficult!
"Then Wenjue, what are your plans?" Pan Mei decided to test it again, and then see what the dishes were.
Wen Qihang shook his head slightly and said: "Look at what Your Majesty means, although I am marrying my mother-in-law, but after all, this is related to the state affairs between the Song and Tang Dynasties, and we have no other way to be courtiers than to repay with death!" ”
This is a model of being cheap and well-behaved!
How thick does it take to do this, Pan Mei has always thought that her face is invulnerable, but now it seems that there is still a huge gap compared with Wen Qihang!
No wonder, Wen Qihang is the main general, and he can only be a deputy general.
Pan Mei said with a stunned expression: "Then the general will congratulate Wen Shuai first, and hug the beauty." ”
Wen Qihang waved his hand and said embarrassedly: "This matter is still a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, don't take it seriously." ”
Pan Mei showed a look that a man understands: "Wen Shuai, it's really a blessing, I really envy us and others, and when the day it happens, Wen Shuai must hold a banquet to celebrate." ”
"Of course....... Get lost! ”
As I said before, I suddenly heard a roar from Wen Qihang, which startled Pan Mei. This damn Wen Qihang is too difficult to serve, just now I thought I had figured out Wen Qihang's mind, but in an instant, his face changed.
"........." Pan Mei has the heart to cry at the moment.
"Is Ben Shuai this kind of person? What are you still doing in a daze, get out of here, the farther away from me, the better. Hearing Qihang, he crusaded loudly.
Just when Pan Mei was confused and thought that the horse's fart had slapped the horse's leg, she saw Tan Fengyi, who was dressed in white, flashed out on the side of the city gate, and immediately realized in her heart, and threw Wen Qihang a look that a man understands, and then hit the horse and ran, otherwise it would be bad to affect the pond fish.
