Chapter 809: Song Liao turned out to be an in-law
Originally, Wu Haogu planned to rest in his house for a night, and by the way, he would meet Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue in private. But now that Su Zhe has sent someone to invite, he can't delay. After instructing Ximen Qinghaosheng to settle Pan Qiaolian and the others and a few children, he changed into an official uniform, took Mi Youren, Wu Chengjiu, Wu Chenglan, He Tianran and others to the Yamen of the City Ship System in the south of the city.
All the way to the castle where the Shibo Manufacturing Division was located, Zhang Kangguo, Su Zhe and Lin Ji were all there, waiting outside the yamen together. The two sides saluted, and then joined hands in the middle hall of the yamen. This yamen was actually the official office of Wu Haogu, and he should theoretically live here with his family. However, on the side of Jiehe Commercial City, the head of Wuda has the final say, and if he wants to live in the city, others can't take care of it.
The two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, and without waiting for the official of the Department of Preparation and Procurement to serve the tea and soup, Su Zhe talked about the latest progress of the peace talks. The will of the Great Liao Emperor first came to Jiehe Shang City, and Yelu Yanxi seems to have recognized it. The conditions for occupying the Hetao Grassland Hebei Land that originally belonged to Western Xia and increasing the tax package of 150,000 yuan a year in Jiehe Shang City were proposed.
The former has nothing, anyway, the Hetao Grassland Hebei Land is not from the Great Song Dynasty, and it doesn't hurt to take it from the Great Liao. However, the latter plus a package tax of 150,000 yuan a year is a bit of a problem...... At present, the package tax given by Jiehe Commercial City to Daliao is only 100,000 yuan per year, and it is not a small amount of money to increase it to 250,000 yuan at once.
However, Wu Haogu didn't show a little painful expression, but just said with a smile: "It's easy for the Khitan people to ask for money, ask for a price all over the sky, sit on the ground and bargain, and leave this matter to the lower officials." ”
Su Zhe never dared to underestimate Da Liao, "Chongdao don't underestimate the Liao people, if you can spend some money to settle the people, it would be good...... If the market is tight, you can play the name of the saint and exempt a package tax from the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Mr. Ziyou, don't worry, the younger generation has its own opinions, and it will never cause a war." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "In the current situation, our Great Song Dynasty and Great Liao are likely to form in-laws, they are both family, and there are happy events to be done soon, how can there be a war?" ”
"In-laws? Wedding? Zhang Kangguo was stunned and said, "Could it be that the imperial court has a relationship with the Khitan?" ”
"Impossible, right?" Lin Yu shook his head and said, "This dynasty has never been friendly with barbarians. ”
"There are always exceptions to everything," Wu Haogu smiled, "This time it will definitely be a kiss!" ”
"Who's with whom?" Su Zhe asked.
"Qianshun, the prince of the official family, and Princess Cheng'an of the Great Liao Emperor...... This is a marriage that has been set a long time ago, and the three media and six hires have been passed, so it can't be counted, right? ”
"The prince is smooth?" Su Zhe was stunned, "This isn't a thief!" ”
Wu Haogu said with a smile: "He is not a thief anymore, he is now the son of the official family, the king of Xiping, the Taiwei, the Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions, the Taishi of the inspection school, and the envoy of Hexi Jiedu and the capital of Anxi." ”
Just before Wu Haogu left Kaifeng Mansion, the envoys who canonized Zhao Qianshun had already set off, and they must have gone faster than Wu Haogu who dragged his family and mouth, and most of them had already arrived at Xingqing Mansion at this time.
Because Qianshun is now the son of Zhao Ji, and Yelu Nanxian, the princess of Cheng'an of Liao, is the titular daughter of Yelu Yanxi. So the marriage between the two of them is theoretically that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty married the princess of Liao.
"You can still climb relatives like this!" Su Zhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Wu Chongdao, even if the Liao Kingdom and we are relatives, this money may not be saved." ”
"No problem." Wu Hao Gu said, "It's all wrapped up in the juniors, and the juniors will go to meet with Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue tomorrow to talk secretly, and they can always negotiate the dowry." ”
"Dowry?" Zhang Kangguo then asked, "Is this what the official family means?" ”
Wu Haogu said with a smile: "The official family didn't say it explicitly, but they have already issued an edict to let the King of Xiping enter the Hajj." The wedding of King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an should also be held in Kaifeng Mansion, can we not help with this matter? ”
"That's right," Su Zhe nodded, "The official family is the father of King Xiping, and Mrs. Liang, the mother of King Xiping, is also in Kaifeng Mansion. The parents are both in Kaifeng Mansion, and the marriage between King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an should of course be done in Kaifeng Mansion. ”
"Is King Ke Xiping willing to enter the court?" Lin asked.
"Of course I do," replied Wu Haogu, "isn't there now a Western Great Food State who canonized the Black Khan Uighurs as the governor of China and the Taohuashi Khan, and wants to take over the world of the Great Song Dynasty?" The officials were furious and prepared to send the king of Siping to fight against the Black Khan Uighurs, and then send Baghdad to investigate the guilt. Is King Xiping still afraid that he will not be able to return to Xingzhou? ”
Su Zhe nodded. But Zhang Kangguo and Lin Ji both shook their heads, such an idea was really a bit wishful thinking. Su Zhe has always liked to calm things down, the west thief is willing to call his father, and he has cut so much land, so the court will not rush to kill it all, they want to go to Anxi to grab land, let them go. But Zhang Kangguo and Lin Ji knew that this matter was not so easy, and the old Zhao family was the most unfortunate to see the martial arts supporting the army! The civil officials in the court were not so easy to speak, and when the time came, they shouted for a glass of wine to release the military power.
Zhang Kangguo and Lin Yi glanced at each other, and Zhang Kangguo said: "Anyway, if the marriage between King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an can be arranged in Kaifeng Mansion, it will be a great achievement." ”
Lin Yu also said: "Even if you give more dowry, the DPRK and China can also give an explanation." ”
If the marriage between Zhao Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian is held in Kaifeng Mansion, then Zhao Qianshun will definitely have to enter the court! What else? Let Brother Cha take over? Can someone replace the matter of entering the cave room? As long as Zhao Qianshun can be brought to Kaifeng Mansion, this great achievement will be in hand! As for whether Zhao Ji will let them go, it has nothing to do with Zhang Kangguo, Su Zhe, and Lin Ji.
Wu Haogu didn't care whether Zhao Ji would invite Zhao Qianshun to drink a glass of wine to release military power in Kaifeng Mansion, of course he was a short-sighted businessman who only cared about the present!
Now that Zhang Kangguo and Su Zhe have spoken, they naturally no longer delayed, and the next morning, accompanied by Ximen Anguo, he went to the Marenwang Mansion located on Majiayuan Street in the south of Jiehe Commercial City - Jiehe Commercial Market because at the beginning of the thirty-three shareholders divided the Fang City (Fang without city walls), so there is no concentrated mansion area, but there are several bright mansions in each Fang City.
Because it was a private visit, Ma Renwang did not open the door of the house to greet him, but let Wu Haogu and others enter through the side door, and he and Zhang Jue greeted each other at the door of the inner hall.
invited Wu Haogu and Ximen Anguo into the inner hall, and then retreated left and right, and then did not say hello, so he went straight to the topic and said: "The Great Song official family agreed to hand over the two checkpoints of Goryeo to my court?" ”
Haeju Pass and Busan Pass didn't seem worth mentioning in the Song Dynasty, and not many people even knew about it. However, in the eyes of the Liao, it was a sign of the "loss" of Goryeo, which was likely to gradually become a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty. Originally, when the Goryeo Kingdom and the Jurchen were in great war, the Great Liao Imperial Court only thought that this incident had not happened. But now that the victory and defeat on the battlefield have been divided, and the army of Goryeo has been broken by the Jurchen cavalry of several hundred people, it is impossible to pose any threat to the Great Liao State.
On the contrary, it was the birth of a girl who really showed her aggressive strength, which caused the court of the Great Liao Kingdom to be very vigilant. In this case, the Liao court naturally thought that it would be in charge of the Goryeo Kingdom to contain the birth of the Jurchen. However, the Great Song Dynasty's Jiehe City Bosi controlled the Haeju Pass and Busan Pass in the Goryeo Kingdom, and although it did not receive much customs duties, it brought the relationship between the Goryeo Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty closer.
This made Yelu Yanxi very worried, fearing that the Great Song would take the lead in forming a Great Song-Goryeo-Jurchen Alliance. Therefore, after Xiao Delidi and Yelu Yan said that they could get Haizhou Pass and Pusan Pass, Yelu Yanxi immediately issued an order to allow it.
Now that the Goryeo Kingdom has been newly defeated, it is a time for the country to panic, if Daliao has the name of entering again, and appropriately gives some military assistance, the king of Goryeo can only kneel if he is reluctant.
However, this matter was not notified to the Song delegation, after all, this matter has not been put on the table, so Su Zhe and they don't know yet.
"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty agreed," said Wu Haogu with a smile, "but the Goryeo Haeju Pass and the Busan Pass will be given to the Great Liao as a dowry." ”
"Dowry?" The horse man was stunned, "Who are you hiring?" ”
Zhang Jue also said: "Could it be that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty wants to accept the daughter of the clan of Da Liao as a concubine?" ”
"It's not an official family," Wu Haogu shook his head and said, "It's the prince." ”
"The Prince?" The horse man looked and said, "How old is your official family, and his prince is about to get married?" ”
"It's Qianshun," Wu Haogu didn't sell Guanzi anymore, and said with a smile, "Qianshun is now the son of the official family, isn't he going to marry Princess Cheng'an, the daughter of the Great Liao Emperor?" ”
Yelu Nanxian is not Yelu Yanxi's daughter, and Yelu Yanxi is not very old and can't give birth to such a big girl. So now it is Zhao Ji's godson who wants to marry Yelu Yanxi's goddaughter, and nominally Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi have really become in-laws.
Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue looked at each other and nodded.
"That's fine." Ma Renwang said, "As long as you can get Haeju Pass and Busan Pass, it will be done." ”
Zhang Jue added: "But the tax package still has to be added a little, at least 100,000 yuan a year." ”
"50,000 taels at most," Wu Haogu immediately counteroffered.
"50,000 ......," the centaur looked at Zhang Jue.
Zhang Jue stretched out two slaps, "Give 100,000 yuan at a time...... This is used to unblock. ”
That's 100,000 bribes!
Wu Haogu stretched out two fingers and said with a smile: "I'll give 200,000 yuan!" However, there are two conditions. First, the wedding of King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an had to be held in Kaifeng Mansion; Second, I have to let the people arranged by Ma Erge and me contract the Goryeo Haeju Concession and the Busan Concession. ”
Of course, the bribe of the profiteer Wu Dalang was not given in vain!
Let's not talk about the credit for the wedding of King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an in Kaifeng Mansion, just talking about the cost of the marriage, it is indispensable to let Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an share the profits. With Zhao Ji's Fengheng Yuda, why does his son's marriage have to cost millions, right?
And taking this opportunity, Wu Haogu can also meet with Zhao Qianshun's mother and son to discuss a bigger purchase, such as the military expenses of the Hexi Army's crusade against Anxi? The Eternal Life Vault of the Great Xiangguo Temple of the Jiehe River can provide loans......
