Chapter 3266 is clearly bullying you

Zhao Xing nodded: "Zhang Xiang supports the Lu brothers?" …… Hehe, there is just a news in my newspaper: Lu Shengqing actually created an unjust prison because of a conflict with his boss, and he was ready to lock up his boss ---- Zhang Xiang to support him!

What did Lu Shengqing do, he despised all the condescension and humility, and ignored the unspoken rules of officialdom, as if the Great Song Dynasty Ministry and the Criminal Department were opened by their family, so that he could create charges at will, and even his boss was in danger. His behavior is not only against Jiangmen, against the emperor's relatives and relatives, but also against the officialdom system of the whole world. He thought that the little emperor hated the Empress Dowager Gao, and he could use this excuse to clean up his superiors, so who would dare to be Lu Shengqing's boss in the future?

Zhang Xiang is crazy, even such a person has to be protected, even if he provokes Gao Zunhui such a big thing, Zhang Xiang has to be strongly suppressed, you see, Zhang Xiang used the excuse that Lu Shengqing just planned the unjust prison, but the unjust prison was impeached before it was finished in his hands, and he had not really wronged Gao Zunhui, this was an attempt to commit a crime, so the edict of the cabinet was not issued, and Lu Shengqing was changed from the deputy envoy of Hebei to the transfer envoy of Hedong Road--- he was actually promoted. Such a person actually got a promotion award?!

I really want to know, from now on, who cares about the officialdom system? At this moment, the administrative system of the Great Song Dynasty has collapsed, can our country still exist? The Great Song Dynasty is dead, alas, Shaoyou, Wang Jinggong's three fearlessness finally perished the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Qin Guan understood what Zhao Xing meant: Who is Gao Zunhui, he is the head of the Gao family. He has a relative, known to the Song people, that is, the famous "Female Zhongyao Shun" Empress Dowager Gao. The little emperor was relieved from the weight of the Empress Dowager Gao. was full of hatred for Empress Dowager Gao, but he still didn't dare to provoke Gao's generals easily. Lu Shengqing originally wanted to take advantage of the little emperor's hatred to take the opportunity to persecute Gao Zunhui, but he didn't expect to kick it on the iron plate.

However, after the fact, Zhang adhered to the hatred of the Empress Dowager Gao and suppressed the matter, but he only saved Lu Shengqing, and An revealed the matter of Lu Wenqing. The three Lu brothers had accidents one after another, can Zhang Gu come over? And after this battle, the reputation of the three Lu brothers has been completely stinky. On this firehead. Lu Huiqing even jumped out and complained loudly about Zhao Xing's persecution of his family. Zhang will also take care of the Lu family's "Fujian son" who always causes trouble for him and makes him wipe his ass frequently at this time?

Qin Guan figured this out, and asked casually: "I estimate that Fujian officials dare not speak out against the Lu brothers, these three brothers are always thinking about corruption and bribery, thinking about bullying others, even Gao Zunhui's illustrious family background is not immune to disasters, who else in Fujian they dare not provoke?" Why did Wang Jinggong take a fancy to such an earthly disciple in the first place? I heard that Wang Jinggong is very upright, how can he ...... Never mind. Don't talk about this, where did that Wan Qiyong next to you go? I went to Fujian. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "I originally had a famous gang leader---- who was a geographical ghost, and he ran the Fujian trade route for me. Relying on him, I am not unfamiliar with life in Fujian. You know, Fujianese people are more xenophobic. Even if my soldiers go to suppress the bandits, they would rather favor the local bandits, give them a message to rob them, and ambush my soldiers by the way.

This time, I asked Wan Qiyong to knock on the clans in Fujian. Let them bow their heads to me---- this move is also in line with the minds of the Fujian magistrates, they are also outsiders appointed by the imperial court, and they can't speak in Fujian, so our army is dispatched to sweep away the Fujian bandits, take the opportunity to eradicate some unpleasant clans, and also give the Fujian magistrates room to speak. In this way, I have a certificate from the Fujian magistrate. Lu Huiqing dared to make trouble. This fire happened to burn to Lu Huiqing, and I was going to sue Lu Huiqing for complicity and arson.

You just said that Wang Jinggong is very upright. Why do you have such a proud protégé of the Lu brothers---- let me tell you, it is because he has a bad heart, he shouts for reform, and he does not really want to benefit the poor people. Reform is just a knife in the hands of Wang Jinggong, and Wang Jinggong uses the knife of reform to eradicate dissidents, so as to enjoy the power of self-esteem. Therefore, even if his officials persecute the people, oppress their colleagues, embezzle bribes, collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, ...... all this does not matter to Wang Jinggong. As long as they are obedient to themselves and let themselves enjoy the supreme power, they are his proud disciples.

I have been thinking about Wang Jinggong's behavior, looking for a reasonable explanation for his incredible bigotry---- only this reason can explain everything: power, Wang Jinggong pursues power, not for the benefit of the people, not for reform, not for the country. With this reason, all the grotesqueness, stubbornness, persistence, etc., of Wang Jinggong can be explained. Is there a more reasonable explanation, you say? ”

Talking about a big guy like Wang Anshi made Qin Guan very uncomfortable. After all, his worldview is that if his personal morality is good, everything he does is just. Wang Anshi's self-discipline and honesty are famous in this era, Qin Guan is like a thorn in his back on these topics, he smiled and diverted the topic, and asked: "This time you hurried back to Guangzhou, and you didn't even bring Jingniang, is it to arrange Fujian affairs?" Or maybe something happened in Guangzhou? ”

Zhao Xing replied: "Guangzhou has not changed, I personally have a little trivial: the imperial court issued an edict asking Baiguan Yin to report his eldest son, and Guangzhou is also among them, I am afraid that it will be late to go back, and my wife is happy to report Zhao Feng's name for a while, so I rushed back to stop it."

In addition, the imperial court edict also inquired about the affairs of the Nanyang region, asking me to play the right --- this is a vague request to me, whether it can promote the coming of all countries to the court next year, the imperial court made a low posture this time, if I am not interested, it is estimated that the big stick of the imperial court will come one after another. Our Yizhang White Crane Meeting this time has made such a big noise, it seems that this time we will agree to the court's request no matter what. ”

Qin Guan shook his head and said with a smile: "Ha, you still have half a year to prepare, what are you in a hurry." Tribute is a big deal, wait for you to inform the overseas vassal states, and when they are ready, send an envoy into Guangzhou, and you will escort them to Beijing...... Is there enough time? ”

Zhao Xing smiled, laughing at the thief: "Do you think that those envoys from all over the world in history are really sent by foreign vassal countries?" In fact, most of those envoys were trained by Cantonese tongue people---- and they have always been.

Go to a foreign vassal country to find a real envoy. There really wasn't enough time. But after four or five months of hard work, I let the Guangzhou Tongue Walker train a group of foreign vassal envoys, and the time was enough, so I rushed back to Guangzhou this time, and I did just that, and I trained him as many envoys as the imperial court needed, dressed them up in strange costumes, and said some foreign vassal dialects that only the Guangzhou Tongue Walker could understand. You said it wasn't an envoy of a foreign domain. I'm in a hurry with you!

These foreign envoys paid tribute once. Maybe there will be no more tribute for a hundred years, but those tongue people who know this kind of foreign language, the court will have to provide for them, even if they are offered for a hundred years, it is also the rule of the court, which is called being prepared. If you take a closer look at history, isn't this the case? Those foreign vassal states that are not famous say that they are here to pay tribute, how did the natives of the Great Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty learn their language?

I think I'm smart and can count Chinese. But it is still difficult to learn a new language, I have been in Guangzhou for many years, and I have not even learned a few local languages. ^^ first release ^^ book ^^^^ met the foreign feudal people, and suddenly learned the foreign feudal language, so that they had no barriers with those Tibetan people, is it possible? Language. Is it so easy to learn Qin Guan asked in surprise: "You mean to say that the envoys of the foreign feudal domains are all made in Guangzhou?" You're saying that a bastard-like figure had a pre-consultation with the Cantonese tongue people, and they casually sent some meaningless bird language, saying that it was the language of a foreign vassal country. Then, the envoy of the foreign vassal returned with a gift from the imperial court. And the tongue man who translates the envoys of the foreign domain can stay in the court as an official, right?

Interesting. This is an indescribable language of the foreign domain. Only the man with the tongue understands, so others cannot blame and provoke. And the envoys of foreign feudal domains pay tribute once in more than 100 years. It is impossible to verify whether that language is really a foreign language. But the court had to keep the tongue man for life, even if the tongue man did not learn and did not understand the arts, and did not understand the literature and science......"

Zhao Xing nodded with a smile: "Yes, making an envoy of a foreign domain is the favorite of the tongue people." As long as you create an envoy, a tongue man who has no worries about food and clothing in this life, and enjoys a lifetime of things, do you think no one is tempted? It is not surprising that the envoys of foreign vassals are all made in Guangdong, and the United Nations award-winning documents are all printed in Henan, which also has a precedent to follow. Why be surprised!

You didn't notice that since I came to Guangzhou, the imperial court has lost countless tributary envoys, this is because I have a concubine in my family who understands the languages of the vassals, and the Cantonese tongue people know that I am familiar with foreign vassal affairs, and they can't hide it from me, so they don't dare to cheat.

This time, the imperial court asked all the countries to come to the court, but the foreign vassal king in his own country called the king and hegemony, and he was at ease and respectful, if you are such a person, are you willing to send envoys to kowtow to others, kneel down, and make all kinds of flattery to please you, do they all suffer from masochism and like the feeling of being abused?

The prince is also dignified, although the tributary trade is lucrative, but as a king, will he be short of money? No matter how big the benefits are, do you think that as kings, they will come to our country specifically to find abuse, to find the feeling of being treated as barbarians and despised as human beings?

You don't know, I have checked the history of several vassal states, and specially looked for the era of tributary records in history, and found that the history of vassal states has never recorded that they sent tributary envoys, and this even includes Dali, didn't the king of Dali, Duan Lianyi, pay tribute to us? However, in Dali's canons, there is no record of sending official envoys. ^^Starting^^^^^^

This shows that all the tributary envoys were fakes, perhaps they were really vassal people, but they were only merchants of the country, and they were here to do business. However, because we did business with foreign vassals, and the only form of trade was tributaries, they had to pretend to be tributary envoys.

Hmph, now that the court has money and nowhere to spend it, and is willing to toss this kind of face-saving project, why should I save money for the court. Today I will make an opening and let the Canton Tongue People's Bank start making tributary envoys---- I am engaged in wholesale trade, never retail. How many tributary envoys do the imperial court want, how much I give him, anyway, these tongue people will eventually return to China through Guangzhou, and when the time comes, I will put those envoys in sacks and throw them into the sea, and the rewards of the imperial court will all be mine...... Hehe, now, it's hard to get rich or not. ”

Qin Guan was dumbfounded: "You, you, you...... What you just said made me dizzy and made me take a few breaths, ahhhh ”

"The court won't care. The envoy is a disposable, and after use, it becomes waste and garbage. Even if the imperial court knew, it would be afraid of the face of the Celestial Empire. Don't dare to uncover the truth, they will only pretend not to know. This kind of thing is too wide-ranging, and the imperial court needs this kind of public opinion momentum, even if it knows that it is deceived, it has to make this kind of momentum, so ...... The imperial court would never pay attention to the final whereabouts of the envoys. ”

"Wait, you just said ...... Then, the tributary envoys of the three kingdoms of Goryeo, Wa and Jiaozhi in the past dynasties. It can't always be fake? ”

"Of course. These three countries are not fake envoys, these three countries claim to be Little China, they are proud to worship our civilization, and these three countries are too familiar with the imperial court, there is no barrier to language communication, and the difficulty of fraud is too high, so there are no fakes at present, but it is difficult to say whether there will be any fakes in the future. Zhao Xing replied with a smile.

However, the tributary envoys of these three kingdoms also had a greasy existence---- such a thing was found in the Ming Dynasty. Two groups of envoys came from Japan, both of whom said that they were real tributary envoys and came to the Celestial Dynasty to pay tribute...... However, both groups of businessmen are fakes, and they are fakes backed by the Japanese government. Because of the tributary trade in China. Therefore, the Japanese government allowed merchants to come to China to trade under the guise of tributary envoys, and the government even issued fake countries to merchants to pretend to be tributary envoys. aoh(8) This kind of document was distributed to merchants. It is not retractable and can be used repeatedly as a trade certificate. Relying on the tacit understanding between Japanese merchants, the merchants took turns to go to China every once in a while to pretend to be envoys and conduct trade.

The sea route is far away, and the chances of merchants crashing into the ground are slim. Therefore, although the Japanese tributary envoys at the peak of the period reached the frequency of several trips per month, it made the Ming monarchs and ministers miserable. Exhausted. But the Ming Dynasty has not been repeated in the past 100 years, unfortunately. That time there was an accident, two Japanese merchants collided and appeared in the Central Plains at the same time as tributary envoys......

This information Zhao Xing could not disclose, Qin Guan's psychology was comforted by this news, and eased slightly, the rest of the journey, Qin Guan did not dare to talk about official business in Zhao Xing, for fear that his fragile psychology would be hit again---- he talked about poetry, this thing is Zhao Xing's shortcoming, Qin Guan's advantage. As soon as Qin Guan spoke in this regard, Zhao Xing was dumbfounded, so Qin Guan enjoyed the pleasure of abusing Zhao Xing all the way, and entered Guangzhou in a relaxed mood.

Previously, Zhao Xing had always insisted on separating tributary from trade, blocking the way for Guangzhou's tongue to be faked. This time, under the heavy pressure of the imperial court, he finally opened an opening, and when he returned to Guangzhou to announce the news that tributary envoys would be arranged, the people of Guangzhou immediately jubilated, and without hesitation, according to the quota allocated by Zhao Xing, began to buy Kunlun slaves and Nanyang merchants from overseas, disguised them as tributary envoys to train, and conceived a thousand strange names for them......

At the same time, in the capital division, the diplomacy of the Great Song Dynasty was also busy.

After getting Zhao Xingdi's consent, Zhang immediately sent an inquiry to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and it happened that the envoy of Jiaozhi was in the capital to apologize to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhang hinted that the envoy did not dare to ask too much, and only proposed that if the Great Song Dynasty returned three of the five northern provinces of Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi agreed to make a pilgrimage.

Later, Zhang received the news that the envoys of Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom agreed very happily, and without mentioning any requests, they agreed to send envoys to congratulate him.

After dealing with these three countries, Zhang sent inquiries to Western Xia and Liao, but Liao simply refused. The envoys of the Western Xia believed that if the Great Song Dynasty resumed the annual tribute to the Western Xia---- the Great Song side called it the "annual gift", the Western Xia was willing to send envoys to participate in the celebration. However, the Tangut people demanded: the envoy appeared in Bianliang this time, not with a tributary attitude, as a subject of the following countries, but as equal diplomacy.

Zhang agreed without hesitation. And it was determined that this time all the nations came to the court, and enjoyed the status of equal diplomatic states with the Western Xia, as well as the former equal states of Goryeo and Wa, but Jiaozhi was not among them, and they must visit the shrine as subordinates. The Jiaozhi side received Zhang's promise to return the three cities, and they were worried that Zhao Xing would have trouble there, so they immediately agreed to pay tribute as a vassal state, and only asked Zhang to come forward to restrain Zhao Xing and supervise Zhao Xing's return of the three northern cities.

Zhang agreed again.

This edict was handed over to Guangdong, Zhao Xing simply glanced at it, saw that the edict did not meet his wishes, and threw the edict into the trash. Then, he complained to the Xuanzhi envoy with dissatisfaction: "The sons and daughters fought a hundred battles and fought bloodily to regain the fertile land in the north of Jiaozhi, how can they easily return it to them?" Xuanwei, don't you know that a lady in my family is still a Jiaozhi person, and in order to recapture the five northern cities of Jiaozhi, I am still making trouble.

Look, whether it is me or the soldiers of Liangguang, they have paid great sacrifices for these five cities, and the imperial court is not sympathetic at all. ”

Together with the imperial court's consolation envoys, Li Yuan and Chen Gongchuan came, these two were worried that Zhao Xing would refuse to return the three northern cities, so they came to prepare to impress Zhao Xing with family affection, but they didn't expect Zhao Xing to give face, and talked about the unhappiness at home with one mouth. Chen Gongchuan had already touched a nose of ash, Li Yuan was still unwilling, he said tentatively: "I came this time, and Lezhi also has something to bring to Lord Zhao......"

Zhao Xing raised a finger: "Stop, this word can't be said casually...... So, for the sake of that man's face, I promised to return the three northern provinces, but I needed some time to remove the local officials and troops and relocate the local followers. ”

Zhao Xing agreed so happily, much beyond the expectations of Li Yuan and Chen Gongchuan, Li Yuan hurriedly agreed: "It should be, it should be, the army withdrawing to the defense ground is not something that can be done in a day or two, I don't know how long it will take Lord Zhao?" ”

Zhao Xing replied with a big grin: "I want to say that it will take a hundred years, which is clearly bullying you...... In this way, I have shortened the period of one hundred years tenfold, tentatively ten years. ”

As soon as Zhao Xing said this, Xuanwei's face turned green, Li Yuan's face was pale, and he was about to roar, Zhao Xing casually added: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, my people have already built two castles at the mouth of the Mekong River, and my loach boat can pass through this river and reach Thang Long, the capital of the king of Jiaozhi." As long as the cochin is open to Thang Long Ho, my boat will go upstream, and I can use the boat to pick up the army and the people.

Mmmm, I forgot, this can't be withdrawn in vain---- not long ago, Jiaozhi brazenly launched an attack on my soldiers, and for that war, how many lives did I lose in Liangguang. Importantly, it also cost me a lot of money. This money must be levied from the local tax for ten years to compensate for the two areas, otherwise, I am afraid that the soldiers will be dissatisfied.

Yes, yes, mutiny, it's terrible! There has never been a shortage of mutinies in my Great Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, in order to cope with the emergency, I am very well equipped with those soldiers, each of them has plenty of ammunition and bombs, and if these soldiers are not satisfied, they will get on a small boat and run to Thang Long Province and drop a few bombs in the city, it will not matter to me. ”

Zhao Xing is threatening, a naked threat.

Li Yuan grimaced and asked in a deep voice: "Is the Great Song Dynasty still a gentleman's dynasty?" Not long ago, the Great Song Dynasty suddenly sent troops to Dali and invaded the country without guilt, which made my Dayue feel cold. Our monarchs and ministers are speculating: Is the next target of the Great Song Dynasty my Dayue, and I am also wondering, is it our former friends who will swing the knife next? ”

Zhao Xing's expression became solemn, and he replied: "In terms of personal friendship, we are friends and relatives. Because of my in-law relationship with Chen Gongchuan, you and I can also climb into relatives. But when it comes to state affairs, it doesn't talk about personal friendship.

First: Cochin controls the five northern cities, like a fishbone stuck in my throat. Because once you follow that river and go deep into my Dali and Guangxi, I will definitely be caught off guard if I send troops from the land.

Second: You have a history of sending troops to invade, Guo Kui has encountered you, Di Qing has encountered you, and now it is my turn. And you did invade my territory---- Great Song Xianglin Road. I'm sure you have nothing to say about that.

So I have to control the upstream and downstream of the river, so the five northern cities must be kept in my hands to ensure the safety of Dali and Guangxi. But now that the imperial court has made a decree, I am an official of the imperial court, and I must abide by the laws of the imperial court and agree to return the three northern cities. But there is a reason for my hesitation now, the five northern cities are a whole, if I return the three of you, the remaining two cities cannot be operated, so if you want to take back those three cities, let me operate the five cities for ten years, and when I stabilize the two cities, I can return the remaining three cities, otherwise ......"

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and asked, "Otherwise, what will happen?" ”

ps: I asked for votes at the beginning of the month, readers, please vote for it, thank you!
