Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Reluctant Request
There is nothing that can be formally signed in the court.
It's always been an agreement in private, and then, it's just a sign in court.
Therefore, Zhao Yunrang's actions tonight are mainly to reach an agreement with this Princess Yeluxue.
That's right, Ye Luxue is a princess, and her status is even higher than Xiao Yin.
Now that the agreement has been reached, there is naturally no need to keep it.
Zhao Yunrang didn't want to leave a reputation for any romance in a princess of his dynasty.
I haven't married my wife yet!
After completing the agreement, Ye Luxue was a little reluctant, and strongly asked Zhao Yunrang to chat for a while: "You make another poem——"
"My back hurts, and I'm not in the mood."
How can there be so many verses for you!
Many people still have needs, and they see that they still have most of their lives to live, although there are many poems, but the needs are not easy to say.
So I'm going to leave some poems for the future.
Although there are many poems in memory, not every one of them can be used together.
Although Ye Luxue was reluctant, she was unable to retain the resolute Zhao Yunrang in the end.
The next day, Zhao Yunrang made Zhao Zhen clear.
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "Yes, this matter, that is, you can do it well, which not only saves the face of the imperial court, but also saves the loss of interests." ”
That's nature, it doesn't save face, but also causes loss of interests, that's waste!
Those who cause loss of interests and save face are also national thieves.
It's just that sometimes. It's hard to have both.
On the third day, Zhao Zhen met with the envoys of Daliao represented by Yeluxue in the court.
The ministers didn't know about this matter.
Because Zhao Zhen didn't tell them at all.
In this court, the Empress Dowager Wenchen and even Zhao Yuanyan, who stood by and watched, didn't even know.
Of course, as for whether you really don't know, or pretend to be stupid, then only everyone knows in their hearts.
And this time, Zhao Zhen plans to do it himself.
Therefore, when Yeluxue proposed the conditions for the coming coin, everyone was surprised.
Lu Yijian didn't know about it. It stands to reason that before this matter is discussed in the court, it should be discussed by the civil servants and other parties.
No, nothing!
Looking at Zhao Zhen's smiling appearance, the hearts of all the civil officials couldn't help but give birth to a chill, is the emperor going to be pro-government?
In fact, Empress Dowager Liu's curtain listening to politics was not so rigorous.
In other words, Zhao Zhen can be regarded as a pro-government very early, but many things have to be discussed with Empress Dowager Liu.
The so-called diplomacy is no trivial matter, and the New Year's coin with Da Liao is a major event in diplomacy.
There is no news about such an incident, is he going to be the master?
Or was it a surprise attack by the Great Liao envoys?
The civil servants are waiting to see.
Ye Luxue put forward her request very elegantly, she did not talk about this issue as she discussed it with Zhao Yunrang, but very euphemistically put on the letter of the Great Liao Emperor.
It is very clear in the national book: the family and country are unfortunate, natural disasters are coming, and I hope that my brothers will hold hands and help each other.
Zhao Zhen glanced at the national letter, took it directly, and asked people to hand it to the ministers.
Empress Dowager Liu squinted her eyes on the side, she had already seen this document when she took it.
Now Zhao Zhen didn't hand it to him, but Empress Dowager Liu didn't say anything.
This is the first time Lu Yijian has seen it, and his face sank like water at first sight.
"My New Year's coins are shipped on time on a monthly basis, and they have never changed, and now the treasury of my dynasty is empty, and the temporary transfer of silver taels from various states will have an impact on the national body!"
Zhao Yunrang secretly picked his thumb, looking at what people said, there is a level!
Of course, this is.
With the modern treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, this little bit of silver is actually nothing.
"If the other party says that it will be shipped in advance, doesn't it seem that my Da Song is cowardly and incompetent?"
This is considered from the national level, but in fact it is nonsense, the other party is already very polite, and the request is not too much, it depends on the relationship between the two sides.
Lu Yijian frowned and discussed a few words with several colleagues in a low voice.
"Although Da Liao has a national certificate, I'm afraid it can't be used in this matter, that day, Zhao Yunrang, the prince of Anyang County, and Xiao Yin, the county lord of Da Liao, who is good at riding and shooting, had a discussion."
"At that time, the bet was 100,000 taels of coins, and now Da Liao not only requires early shipment, but also requires 300,000 taels of shipment, is this done by brothers?"
This is similar to what Zhao Yunrang said, but it is much harsher than Zhao Yunrang.
Yeluxue had to listen to it on the sidelines, although she was ready to be Lai, her face remained unchanged, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Yin really didn't make sense to do this, and now let herself bear this thunder.
And Xiao Yin seems to have assassinated Zhao Yunrang, which is even more of a stupid move.
Although it is said that the two countries do everything to each other, it is always a little unsightly when it is put on the surface.
Zhao Zhen listened to Lu Yijian's words, but he was noncommittal, and his eyes wandered around the crowd.
Zhao Yunrang's little heart was pounding.
I had already talked to Ye Lixue yesterday, so don't pull myself out for a walk today.
Zhao Zhen didn't hear Zhao Yunrang's prayer: "Brother Wang, let's talk about whether this is feasible, after all, you also tried to compete with the county lord Xiao Yin." ”
Zhao Yunrang stood up helplessly, glanced at the imposing Lu Yijian, and then at Ye Luxue, who was standing aside and looking inward.
"This matter is related to the national system, and the discussion of Da Liao is absolutely not feasible!"
Lu Yijian's face softened a lot, it seems that this Zhao Yunrang is still very knowledgeable, this is talking to his own side.
"Then according to the opinion of the royal brother—"
"In my opinion, it doesn't seem appropriate to completely reject this matter, but if it is handled according to this, it is not appropriate, then you might as well compromise!"
Ye Luxue raised her head and glanced at Zhao Yunrang, it turned out that this compromise was not specifically for herself.
Standing in front of the emperor and the minister, he also dared to say a compromise!
"Well, what's a compromise?" Zhao Zhen asked knowingly.
"This time the New Year's coins are very cumbersome, so it is obviously not feasible to ship them in advance!"
Of course, Zhao Yunrang will not say that my Great Song Treasury is very sufficient now, and it will not be a problem to come up with this little money.
Lu Yijian nodded again and again, this is consistent with what he meant, this matter is not only a question of whether to start shipping in advance, but also a matter of the national body.
If you let the luck start, you will get lucky, so shameless!
"In addition, in terms of this quantity, there was an agreement with Lord Xiao Yin at the beginning, and Princess Yelu Xue does not deny this, right?"
You can play last night, but not on a formal occasion.
Since it had been said yesterday, Yeluxue had no choice but to nod helplessly.
"So in terms of quantity, we have to reduce it according to our quantity, that is to say, 200,000 taels of coins!"
The ministers nodded one after another, which was exactly what they wanted, neither did they start shipping in advance, but the number was still based on the data that Xiao Yin lost at the beginning, so it was okay.
At this time, several ministers looked at Yeluxue, and since they mentioned it, they obviously wouldn't give up.
With tears in her eyes, Yeluxue stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, my Daliao suffered a natural disaster, and I hope that Your Majesty will see brotherhood and help you." ”
This is a bit of a scoundrel, lifeless in the court, that is, you are a good person, and a good person has to do good deeds.
However, at this time, saying such things in the court is obviously losing face.
What I am most afraid of in diplomacy is to be shameless!
Lu Yijian also frowned and began to think.
If it's a reckless refusal, it's obviously not a good thing either.
However, Zhao Yunshang had already said everything just now, so what should he do if he said this?
There is no way to intervene anymore, if you increase the number of coins and solve this problem, it will obviously be regarded as a betrayal.
If he didn't speak, then the few words that Ye Luxue put forward would be left halfway through, which would be extremely embarrassing.
However, Lu Yijian is worthy of being a treacherous and cunning person: "Seeing that the little prince answered like a fluent just now, he is obviously confident, we might as well listen to what the little prince has?" ”
"Brother Wang, then you can talk about it."
Whatever you say, it's all said in advance.
"Since Princess Yelu has proposed it, well, we can start shipping half a month in advance, but in terms of quantity, there will be no change, after all, the country will not stand without faith!"
Zhao Zhen turned to Yeluxue with a smile: "What do you think?" ”
Yeluxue bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, thank you very much, but we still have a reluctant feeling——"
