Chapter 394: Beauty is like jade
Everyone also laughed along, and it was indeed a little inauthentic, and they seized the opportunity to persuade them to surrender nakedly. Don't say that the little prince understands it, no one present is a fool, even Qi Jiguang blushes for him.
Besides, Zhengse said: "How can you say that, if we can negotiate successfully this time, you and I will coexist peacefully, be reconciled for a hundred years, and never fight again, at that time, my brother likes to live in the mainland, and he chooses a place to live at will, whether it is Suzhou and Hangzhou in paradise on earth or the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, my brother is the most honorable guest and the best resident wherever he goes." ”
The little prince couldn't help but nod, and had to admit that what he said was reasonable.
"Yes, all this depends on a negotiation, as long as both sides are sincere, I don't think there is a problem in reaching a comprehensive settlement." Qi Jiguang said.
He also looked forward to a truce with the Tatars and a full peace. Now there is a lot of trouble along the coast, and the imperial court is being attacked from both ends, and life is very difficult. If the beacon fire is extinguished here in Tatar, the pirates will not be able to make a fuss.
"By the way, there is one more thing I have to discuss with my brother, I am going to bring 5,000 people as escorts this time to protect the safety of the mission, and in addition, I have to go out of the customs to do some small business to subsidize the family, and I also have to bring 5,000 people to guard against the attack of the rogue bandits." Besides, he smiled and spread the matter on the table.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" A noble official beside the little prince frowned.
"What's wrong?" Besides, I asked knowingly.
"Our Highness only brought 300 guards according to the agreement this time, but His Highness Qincha has to bring 5,000, which is too much. In addition, you have to bring 5,000 people to protect you in business, so this business is too big, right? The noble officer said bluntly.
"That's true, but we're down two missions now, are you going to get rid of two of them too?" Who should be removed? Besides, he looked at this noble official provocatively, and his words had already shown a sharp edge.
The little prince looked at the two people who were facing each other with a wry smile and didn't say anything.
These nobles themselves were nobles, and they held important positions in the Tatar court, and they were not the guards of the little prince, and it was impossible for him to scold and hinder them as he did with the guards.
In addition, now we are talking about official affairs, not private matters between him and the situation, and the little prince can't help but let these people speak, after all, this is a major matter between countries.
"This ......," the noble official said.
Indeed, this opportunity is rare, everyone wants to take this opportunity to visit the inland country, take out some business to earn some silver, and buy some materials that are lacking outside the city, which they all have the same thoughts.
The nobles who came this time are also people with heads and faces, and they can't open this mouth if they take anyone out, but they can't allow them to bring 10,000 more people outside the customs just because they have two more places on their side.
10,000 elite cavalry is enough to run rampant outside the fortress, although the Tatars have always looked down on the Han officers and soldiers, but they know that the 10,000 horses are not comparable to the border army, all of them are carefully trained brave soldiers, especially well-equipped, bird guns, handcuffs, strong bows and crossbows are many times more than ordinary officers and soldiers.
"I think so, since you ask for the principle of reciprocity, then let His Highness also bring 10,000 horses into the customs, Da Ming will not think that 10,000 cavalry will pose any threat." Qi Jiguang made a round.
He said something that meant that 10,000 people was a lot, and we didn't even look at it. The Ming Dynasty didn't put 10,000 Tatar elites in his eyes, so why should the Tatars outside the gate be regarded as a threat?
"I think it will do." Another nobleman chimed in.
"And what about our two extra spots?" The first nobleman asked.
"Don't say two more, it doesn't matter if there are twenty more, we don't care about this, we Han people are hospitable, willing to welcome visitors from all over the world, and welcome all those who come to negotiate with peace will." Besides, he pretended to be generous.
There is no point in insisting that the other side reduce the two places, the more people sent by the Tatars, the better, and the higher the rank, the better, so that the weight of the hostages held by the imperial court will be heavier. As for the 10,000 cavalry, entering the pass was also a hostage who rode freely on horseback.
Qi Jiguang understood what he meant, so he advocated that the other party should also bring 10,000 elites into the customs.
Several nobles on the Tatar side exchanged words, and then one said: "This matter is very related, and it is not in line with the previous agreement, we can't make the decision, and His Highness can't make the decision, we need to ask the Khan for a ruling." ”
The little prince smiled helplessly and spread his hands, indicating that he could not do anything.
Moreover, he also smiled and nodded, indicating that he fully understood.
He is an ambassador with plenipotentiary and can adjudicate any matter, but in fact, the opinions of the members of the team must be listened to carefully, and it is impossible to really dictate and arbitrarily himself.
"Brother, don't worry, I will personally ask Zu Khan for this matter, and Zu Khan will definitely agree." The little prince whispered assurance.
"Thank you, brother, for your love." Besides, he picked up his wine glass and smiled.
At this time, the singing and dancing had stopped for a while, and these beautiful women who were singing and dancing were also a little overwhelmed when they saw that the atmosphere on both sides suddenly became tense.
They knew that the great lords of the Tatars had always drawn their swords against each other without saying a word, and did not withdraw their swords without seeing blood, so they were very afraid of staging a farce of swords and swords.
But what they don't know is that these nobles are also self-aware people, and they can't treat ordinary people like ordinary people, besides, they are prince-level ministers of the Ming Dynasty, which is much higher than their rank.
Besides, this time he brought Xiaojun as a guard, and he was standing behind him at this time.
Murong Yanran's master and apprentice stayed in the post house at the moment, and he still didn't feel at ease there, relatively speaking, he didn't think that this visit would be threatened, even if there was danger, Xiao Jun alone could sweep them all.
"Okay, I'll be patient." Besides, he laughed.
"You don't have to be patient, as long as there will be a response in three or two days, I don't think there is any problem, by the way, the two younger siblings haven't seen each other yet, and they will definitely meet if they have the chance." The little prince laughed mischievously.
"Of course, there will be a chance to see it."
Qi Jiguang and the others all laughed secretly in their hearts, in the Han tradition, there is no reason for the eldest uncle to casually ask to see his brother's daughter-in-law, but the Tatar people do not have this custom.
The little prince turned to the beauties and said with a smile: "Why don't you dance and sing?" Oh, scared by us. It's a sin to be a beautiful woman. ”
Besides, he also smiled: "I blame me for this, I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to bring up this matter, I should have found a suitable occasion to talk about it." ”
He did it on purpose, and many things were much easier to discuss at the wine table than at the negotiating table, and it was easier to reach an agreement.
Of course, he himself knew what it meant to bring 10,000 heavily armed guards into the prairie, and Wang Chonggu and Fang Feng were looking forward to this, this time, at least 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers could be contained by King Alta, and the pressure on the border would be reduced a lot.
"By the way, I heard that my brother is also a person who will enjoy happiness, and you have a team of maiko under your command, and I heard that the dance of neon clothes and feathers is a must."
The little prince saw that the song and dance began again, so he said.
"If my brother loves this, I can give that Maiko team to my brother as a gift." Besides, he laughed.
The nobles on the Tatar side couldn't help but salivate, and the neon clothes and feather dances danced by those dancing girls under Li Xiangjun were so famous that even the princes and nobles outside the Seychelles were envious.
They didn't expect that there would be such a big deal, this is not one or two beauties, but a team, or a well-trained high-quality dancer. For the Tatars who love singing and dancing, this is simply a huge gift.
"No need, a gentleman doesn't win people's love." The little prince smiled implicitly.
"I'm really not good at this, this time I took them because I have heard for a long time that everyone in the aristocracy can sing and dance, and I am afraid that I will not be able to cope with the scene, so I took them to the town. When I was done, I left them at my brother's house. "Besides, the persuasion failed, and I began to use the beauty trick again.
This time the Tatars did not disagree, who did not love the beauties, and they did not think that the acceptance of these beauties would lead to any serious consequences.
However, the little prince shook his head and smiled: "No need, I heard that they are all delicate Jiangnan girls, and they can't stand the bitter cold life outside our plug." Look at these people around me, which one is not rough and rough-skinned, so that you can adapt to it. ”
Besides, when they looked at those singing and dancing beauties, they were not as the little prince said, but they were indeed strong and their bones were relatively thick, which was a matter of racial genetics, and their skin was also very good, white as milk, skin like cream, and there was an exotic beauty.
When these beauties heard the little prince's words, they all showed resentment, obviously feeling that His Royal Highness the prince had ruined their beauty.
Besides, he said with a smile: "Peony and roses have their own beauty, and it can't be said who is high and who is low, each is good at winning." I think these sisters are all peerless beauties, and my brother is too modest. ”
He casually sketched a sketch of a beautiful woman with pen and ink on the paper, which was really lifelike, graceful and graceful, rich in a plump beauty, but there was no trace of bloat, especially the slightly resentful look, which was painted vividly by him.
"Okay, this painting is more beautiful than people." The little prince was overjoyed when he saw the painting made with a few strokes.
"It's just a draft, and when I'm done polishing it, I'll give this painting to this sister as a souvenir." Besides, he laughed.
The beautiful woman who was fortunate enough to be in the eyes of the Dharma and was drawn on the paper by him hurriedly came over and bowed down to thank you.
The other beauties quit, and they didn't care about any etiquette, and they swarmed around them.
"What about me?"
"Yes, does His Highness Qincha think I'm too ugly to be in the painting?"
Besides, Deng Shi was dumbfounded, this is called stabbing the hornet's nest, this is more than 20 beauties, how long does he have to draw one each.
What surprised him the most was that these beauties were all fluent in Chinese and expressed their little emotions very accurately.
That's not all, the little prince came over to make fun again: "What about me, when will I give me the painting I want?" ”
Besides, I had to spread my hands and said loudly: "Don't rob, don't rob, you have it, you have it, you have to give me some time." ”
