Chapter 13 Reunion of Qin Envoy Table

"How is it, how has Lord Gou been thinking about it these days?" Chen Zichen looked at Gou Yue with a smile and asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Haha, Lord Chen has a good calculation, but I was scolded by my king, we have to talk about this matter again." Gou Yue smiled bitterly.

Indeed, on the letter sent by the King of Qin, although Gou Yue was reprimanded by the King of Qin, he generally praised Gou Yue and others for their efforts, especially the rapid transmission of the news back to the Qin State, so that everyone could be prepared and understand the purpose of the Qi State.

"What? Do you agree to the conditions we made last time? Chen Zichen went straight to the point, did not drag the mud at all, and asked questions directly.

Gou Yue shook his head, he received the letter, and he should also give his own bottom line conditions to the conditions of Qi State, and now Gou Yue wants to negotiate slowly with the people of Qi State within the conditions and suppress the conditions to the minimum.

"Lord Chen, your conditions are too harsh, we will not agree." Gou Yue is no longer going around in circles, since Chen Zichen has spread out the matter and talked about it, then he doesn't plan to go around in circles.

"Oh? Does Master Gou really think so? Chen Zichen didn't expect Gou Yue to be so direct and so decent.

"It's not that we think like this, everyone will think like this, unless the conditions change, otherwise my Qin State will not accept such conditions." Gou Yue is to say again, if you change the conditions, we will not go around in circles, and we will not be able to form a direct alliance.

Chen Zichen could naturally hear the meaning of Gou Yue's words, but he didn't accept Gou Yue's words, but said to himself: "Since Lord Gou dares to come to Qi to negotiate, it shows that Lord Gou has some ability, and I, Chen, have not refused to let you repay the money on the spot." ”

Chen Zichen knew that he couldn't speak first to lower the conditions, and once he spoke first, he would be in a passive state. He kicked the ball to Gou Yue again, and the implication was that we negotiated with the two families, and I didn't let you lower the price, you and I just can't talk slowly, why bother pretending to be like this, so that everyone has no interest in talking.

Gou Yue glanced at Zhang Yun and shook his head helplessly, he still had no way to let Qi Guo reveal his bottom line first. So he said happily: "Okay, since Lord Chen said so, I won't hide it, what our King of Qin means is that the place south of Chu State can't be given to you, or maintain the original fifteen cities; Second, the matter of borrowing troops mentioned by you, our King of Qin is generous and does not refuse, once the Qi and Qin alliance are in place in the future, our Qin Congress will unconditionally support the affairs of the Qi State, but at most borrow 3,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Oh? This is the sincerity of the Qin State? Perhaps we don't take our conditions too seriously. Chen Zichen shook his head and sneered at Gou Yuedao.

"Master Chen, there are a lot of conditions, and in my opinion, they are already very rich." Zhang Yun glanced sideways slightly, leaned forward and said to Chen Zichen.

"Since you are unwilling to say your bottom line, then the official will not talk nonsense with you, but once the official's conditions are said, they cannot be modified." Chen Zichen said domineeringly.

"Oh? Master Chen will listen to it first," Gou Yuemi squinted his eyes and smiled, thus saying without being salty or light.

"First, I want Chushui, including its western part; second, borrowing at least 30,000 soldiers, and one less soldier, I didn't agree; Third, it is also the thing you avoided talking about just now, that is, about marriage, by the way, when the time comes, the official will personally go to greet the third princess and 30,000 soldiers and horses. Think about it. Chen Zichen said all his conditions, and of course there is a proper place to maneuver.

"This... Gou Yue secretly said that it was not good, he saw that the conditions proposed by Chen Zichen were similar to the conditions in the letter from King Qin, and even exceeded King Qin's expectations, although the king saw through the purpose of Qi State, but now that Chen Zichen directly said the conditions, he may understand the bottom line of his Qin State, which makes Gou Yue a little embarrassed. He wanted to rely on his ability to keep the conditions as low as possible, but now it seems impossible.

Chen Zichen looked at Gou Yue, who had a bad face, and said: "Lord Gou thinks about it slowly, this official has time, I heard that not long ago, the Tang and Chu coalition forces have reached the border of your Qin State. ”

Chen Zichen still reminded Gou Yue a little intentionally or unintentionally not to delay any longer.

Gou Yue frowned and was thinking about something, maybe he was really thinking about something.

Zhang Yun opened his mouth and said, "Lord Chen, don't you know that your country has to marry the Qin State?" ”

"Lord Zhang, do you know, my King Qi is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and now the harem of Great Qi lacks the master, and the king of my family heard that the three princesses of your country are talented and virtuous, and I want to be very suitable to be the master of the harem. I don't want to. Chen Zichen said in a respectful manner, and even showed a hint of fear that the princess of Qin would enter the Great Qi.

"Lord Chen, I have two princesses and four princesses in Daqin, both of whom are of the same age as the third princess, and they are both virtuous, virtuous, talented, and good-looking, I wonder if your country can choose another one?" Zhang Yun said hard, in fact, he received a letter from the prince of Qin, telling him to work hard to see if he could choose another princess to marry, the prince was very reluctant to marry his sister to Qi and become a victim of politics. Zhang Yun had no choice but to do his best to try to convince Qi Guo.

"I understand what Lord Zhang said, but the king's life is difficult, the king of my family told me that the three princesses of your country will not marry. There's nothing I can do about it. Chen Zichen said with embarrassment.

"Could it be that Lord Chen really has no choice?" Zhang Yun asked unwillingly.

Seeing that Chen Zichen shook his head, Zhang Yun's heart sank, the prince gave him this task this time, if he didn't do it well, how should he face the prince of Qin when he returned to the Qin State in the future, and would the prince of Qin still reuse him? Originally, he was not as trusted by Prince Qin as Lu Yu, but now this opportunity was the time for him to prove himself to the prince.

"Lord Chen, since we can't change it, then we can only continue to talk about it, I'm afraid the matter of the alliance will not be solved for a while." Zhang Yun said in an official tone.

Chen Zichen set his eyes on Gou Yue, to be honest, Chen Zichen didn't care much about Zhang Yun, this time the envoy of the Qin State, he was just a deputy envoy, he couldn't be the master, only Gou Yue could call the shots. Although Gou Yue was not as powerful as Lu Ziren in the Qin State, he was also a more trusted advisor of the King of Qin.

Gou Yue was slightly stunned, and did not refute Zhang Yun's words, but said lightly: "Lord Chen, I think we should go back and discuss it, after all, this is a major matter between the two countries and cannot be solved hastily." ”

"Yes, if you can't make a hasty decision." Zhang Yun added.

"It's okay, since Master Gou also said so, then we will talk in three days, and then it will be the last time to negotiate, I hope you can discuss it." Chen Zichen said with certainty.

Chen Zichen made it clear to them that the last negotiations would be held in three days, which was nothing more than putting pressure on them.

"Okay, we will definitely come up with a final plan in three days, I hope Lord Chen can also consider the importance of the matter, and don't destroy the unity because of a little interest." Gou Yue finally said unceremoniously to Chen Zichen and put a big hat on Chen Zichen.

...

"Master, a guest came to visit, saying that it was the deputy envoy of the Qin State." The subordinate said to the rich man who was practicing calligraphy in the study.

This man was the last time he asked Chen Zichen about the court, and Liu Wenjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

"The envoy of the Qin State came to me? Could it be that he was stumped by that kid from the Chen family? Liu Wenjian muttered in his heart. He really didn't want to see the envoy of the Qin State, but he came intentionally, how can he say that as a dignified and important minister, he also had to see it, and the "number of rites" must not be missing.

"Zhang Yun, the deputy envoy of the Qin State, has seen Lord Liu." Zhang Yun saluted Liu Wenjian slightly.

"Hahaha, envoy of the Qin State, you have come from afar, how can you bother the envoy to come to see me?" Liu Wenjian very politely asked Zhang Yun to sit down.

"Zhang Yun took the liberty to come, and asked the adults not to be surprised. This is a small gift from Zhang Yun to adults, and please don't refuse. Zhang Yun said to Liu Wenjian with a smiling face. By the way, I gave Liu Wenjian the gift I brought.

"Envoy Zhang is polite, he is a guest, how can he see the outside like this? I don't know if the envoy Zhang came to find the old man, and the old man could help the envoy. Liu Wenjian was an old fox, and he could see at a glance that Zhang Yun had sent a lot of money, so he said.

"Zhang Yun came here this time because he had something to worry about Lord Liu."

"Oh? I don't know what's going on? Liu Wenjian asked with a dry smile, he knew that this person had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and now he must have come to Liu Wenjian for help. Otherwise, an envoy of the Qin State would give a gift to a Qi State Shangshu who he didn't know, which is also unreasonable.

Zhang Yun came to Liu Wenjian because he heard that he was quite prestigious in the court, and even had some objections to Chen Zichen's responsibility for the alliance, so he took the liberty to come over to take care of it.

He euphemistically told Liu Wenjian the purpose of his coming.

"Oh? Chen Zichen, this kid is too ignorant, and your country is not saying that it will not marry, why do you have to stare at the third princess, this is the old man to help you mention it tomorrow morning. Liu Wen said lightly, just mentioning it, not to deny it. If King Qi really fell in love with the third princess of Qin, then it would be really difficult for him to do this.

"Then there is Lord Lao Liu, if Lord Liu can promote this matter, Zhang will definitely be grateful afterwards, I believe that if my Prince Qin knows about this matter, he will also be grateful to Lord Liu." Zhang Yun deliberately pulled Prince Qin out to talk about the matter, hoping that Liu Wenjian would be able to do it.

"Oh? It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Liu Wenjian raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"Zhang once again thanked Lord Liu for his efforts and contributions to the alliance between Qin and Qi." Zhang Yun flattered.

"Okay, what Envoy Zhang said is related to the alliance's plan, and I will do my best to promote it so that the great cause of the two countries can be successful." Liu Wenjian expressed his attitude towards Zhang Yun.

"Then since this is the case, there is Master Lao Liu, and Zhang will leave."

"Someone, send off."

Zhang Yun walked out of Liu's Mansion and walked to the mansions of several other people.

Liu Wenjian took out the gift given by Zhang Yun and looked at it, his eyes smiled and narrowed into a slit, this is a real and real Zhou Ding, and it is definitely Zhou Ding that can only be used by the Zhou royal family, this Zhang Yun can also be used, such a valuable thing was given to Liu Wenjian without blinking an eye. It seems that the weight of the etiquette is the more troublesome things are.

Liu Wenjian carefully put away Xiao Ding, thinking about how to get things done quietly tomorrow.

As the saying goes: If you don't have anything to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and the heavier the ceremony, the more difficult it will be.
