Chapter 407: Face as Big as the Sky
As long as it is a country, it needs to have a foreign policy, unless the universe is unified. Generally speaking, this is called diplomatic strategy.
From ancient times to the present, the diplomatic strategies of all countries are nothing more than two kinds: kingship and hegemony. and benevolence, which is admired by many nations under the royal road, and these countries choose benevolence only because their countries are too weak.
And the choice of royalty or hegemony is completely determined by the temperament of a country.
In Chinese history, the Central Plains Dynasty, that is, the farming people, mostly adopted the royal road, emphasizing the diplomatic strategy of the inner saint and the outer king. The nomads, on the other hand, are more likely to adopt hegemony, a hegemonic diplomatic strategy.
Two strategies, no difference.
It's just that one is to reason first and then fight, while the other is to fight first and then reason.
The former is about convincing you and convincing you, while the latter is about not moving your mouth when you can do it.
These two diplomatic strategies are very enjoyable, so as long as it is a big country or a powerful country, it will invariably choose one of them.
But the sage of the first sage said: Although the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish. So there is no country that can go on a war all the time.
In addition to the necessary war, most of the time it is dominated by the threat of force, and the variety of threats is too numerous to mention.
Among them, offering beauties, paying New Year's coins, ceding land and paying compensation, and bowing down to ministers are just a few of the many tricks.
After the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains continued to be in turmoil, and the Liao State, as the most powerful country in the world, coveted the splendid Central Plains, but it was limited by the rebellion within its own country, coupled with the mentality of watching the fire from across the strait, and only exerted military pressure on the Central Plains regime to make it submit.
The advantages of doing this are obvious, and the people in power in the Central Plains, in order not to suffer from the enemy, in order not to offend the powerful enemy of Liao, can only sell some of their own interests. And the Liao State is just intimidating, and it doesn't cost a single soldier to get huge benefits, so why not do it.
There is no doubt that the object of threat has now become the nascent Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State takes it for granted that as long as they send an envoy to come, they can get everything they want.
After all, the previous dynasties were like this, just one sentence, Emperor Shi Jingjiao, ceded the sixteen states of Youyun, and in another sentence, Emperor Shi Chonggui had to give his two wives to Prince Shulu of Liao as concubines.
In these years, it seems to be very popular to rob other people's wives, and Zhao Lao Er forced Li Tang to offer Zhou Ehuang's marriage, probably because he was also influenced by it.
Now that evil is rewarded, the people of Liao finally found his head, although Xie Lingyun is just a Qinglou woman, and she has no weight at all, but the shame is the same.
Obviously, Zhao Lao Er didn't want to suffer this humiliation like several emperors of the previous dynasty. Now by the way, it is also a good choice to give it to Wen Qihang, which can not only explain to the Liao State, but also avoid shame, such the best of both worlds, how can Wen Qihang not be.
"Your Majesty, Weichen can't ........ The two concubines are married to Qinglou women, right? Isn't the reputation of the werechen going to be ........?"
glanced at Tan Fengyi several times, but this demon girl was Tie Qing's face and she didn't say a word, so she had no choice but to go into battle in person.
Zhao Lao Er said contemptuously: "Do you still know the reputation? Just to buy stones, you will spend no less than 100,000 yuan, the number one loser in the world, you have already worn it on your head. Now add a reputation of 'Merry Genius', it's not a big deal! ”
“........”
"Let's not talk about it, it's over." Zhao Lao Er diverted the topic and said: "Zhao'er's matter, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" ”
"Ah~~~!"
Wen Qihang opened his mouth helplessly, what do you mean not to talk about this matter first, if you don't talk about it now, won't you have no chance to say it again.
This damn Zhao Lao Er is simply a scoundrel! There is such a forced divergence of the topic!
"Don't pretend to be confused, can the royal family also put money in the seal?" Zhao Lao Er snorted.
"Your Majesty, the question just now ........"
Wen Qihang tried to pull the topic back again.
"Isn't it hard to do what I say!" Zhao Lao Er's expression was not good.
“........ Wechen had no such intention. Wen Qihang said slightly at the corner of his mouth.
"If Wen Qing is dissatisfied, then you can give this woman to the Liaoren." Zhao Lao Er said expressionlessly: "I will never stop it!" ”
“........”
What does it mean to give yourself to the Liao people! It's better to have a reputation as a merry and talented man! It's better than getting a traitor or something!
"Your Majesty, about the matter of opening a money bank, Wei Chen wrote a detailed chapter, which introduced the operation method of the money bank in detail, which is completely different from the money bank in the market now."
Smelling Qihang is a dead heart, Zhao Lao Er doesn't care whether Xie Lingyun is pregnant or not, as long as he doesn't offer beauties to the Liao people, he can bow his head and be a minister.
Zhao Lao Er wants to save face, and he doesn't want to lose face, since no matter what, he can't offer beauties to the Liao people, so it's useless to say more.
It is better to talk about the matter of Qianzhuang, after all, the construction of Guanlou Village still needs a lot of financial support, once the capital chain is broken, the projects under construction in Guanlou Village have all become unfinished buildings, and it will be a big loss.
Wen Qihang decisively pulled the topic back.
"Why didn't you mention it?" Zhao Lao Er took the piece of music and snorted lightly. This damn smell of sailing, he doesn't have any loyalty to the king at all! Other courtiers are all humiliated by the lord and his ministers, but he is good, as long as he is not disgraced, as for whether the emperor is disgraced or not, it seems that he doesn't care at all!
Wen Qihang showed an ugly smile and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, and our dynasty will never bow down to the Liao State." But at the moment, there is no need to offend them, so it is not a safe way to inform them that this girl is married.
It's just that the Liao State will definitely not give up because of this........ If they follow the example of the previous dynasty, what should Wechen do? ”
Smelling Qihang, I couldn't help but slander in my heart, not to mention the old things of the previous dynasty! If the Liao State follows Zhao Laoer's approach in order to get greater benefits, and has to forcibly ask for Xie Lingyun, it will be a real trouble.
If you really marry Xie Lingyun, it is difficult to give it up again! If you don't marry at the beginning, forget it, but if you marry and then offer, then this green hat will be worn strongly.
"It's nothing more than a battle ear!" Zhao Lao Er said heroically.
“........”
The corners of Wen Qihang's mouth couldn't help twitching, and they all said that the red face is a disaster, obviously the real disaster is actually a face problem.
The Liao State hopes that the Central Plains regime will continue to submit, and Zhao Lao Er obviously does not want to be the second emperor, Xie Lingyun, a red face and trouble, has inadvertently become a bargaining chip between the two sides.
Zhao Lao Er stared at Wen Qihang and said: "Didn't Wen Qing make a bold statement just now, if the Liao State comes to attack, he is willing to go to the battlefield and die without regrets." If the Liao people really provoke the border because of this, I will definitely fulfill Wenqing, and the post of commander-in-chief of the three armies must be Qing! ”
"Your Majesty's pride........ Wechen will definitely go all out! Wen Qihang smacked his lips.
