Chapter 301: The Solution
There are many ways to persuade people, and there are different ways to deal with people with different personalities. {}
For example, Yelu Hongji, his personality is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, to put it bluntly, he is a little mediocre, but he is kind and smooth, and he doesn't like to lose his temper very much, so he does things under him, and the degree of freedom is relatively high.
This is also one of the main reasons why Zhang Xiaojie can be the governor of Liaoguo!
To persuade a mediocre king, of course, is very simple.
Zhang Xiaojie said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, the matter of calling the dynasty is not in a hurry, and there is no need to rush at this time!" To tell the truth, with the prosperity of our Liao country today, the An Dynasty is naturally not enough trouble, but the emperor should not forget that the financial and national strength of the An Dynasty is still prosperous in Liao, and it is too strong, so the minister believes that if my Liao and the An Dynasty are enemies now, they may win the An Dynasty, but they can't be consumed, so they can only negotiate with the An Dynasty at present and seek benefits! ”
Sure enough, hearing Zhang Xiaojie talk about the benefits and disadvantages of the power of the Liao State and the An Dynasty, Yelu Hongji nodded and said thoughtfully: "Zhang Aiqing is right, but I also want this reputation!" ”
Yelu Hongji also has his own ideas, his father in his later years, also subdued the An Dynasty, and let Zhao Quan call himself the imperial brother, as a son, Yelu Hongji also wants to show his strong side, want to upgrade the Liao State, from the country to the dynasty, in this way, Yelu Hongji's own status will also improve, the most important thing is that when the contradictions between the domestic nobles are becoming more and more acute, if Yelu Hongji can really force the An Dynasty to recognize the status of the Liao State as the Northern Dynasty, then this will be the prestige of Yelu Hongji himself in the Liao State, It will undoubtedly be further consolidated!
So Yelu Hongji deliberately revealed this idea with his younger brother Yelu Aruhan, and also got Yelu Aruhan's support, but he didn't expect that Yelu Aruhan was just a casual title with the envoys of the An Dynasty, which made the people of the An Dynasty unhappy.
Zhang Xiaojie knew that if he and Yelu Hongji continued to struggle on the issue of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he was afraid that it would be useless for the two of them to say that it would be useless for a lifetime, so he had to proceed from reality, no matter what, first pull Yelu Hongji back from his dream!
So Zhang Xiaojie said: "Your Majesty, things have priorities, unless the emperor really thinks that the White Lotus Sect can achieve great things!" ”
Zhang Xiaojie meant, Your Majesty, you have to call the dynasty a dynasty, okay, but it is impossible for the An Dynasty to agree, then there is only one other way, you go and support the White Lotus Sect and let them drive the Zhao family from the throne!
In this way, if our Liao State takes the opportunity to make an accident again, maybe we can still get a lot of cities and benefits, and when the time comes, the White Lotus Sect has just established a country, so naturally we dare not agree to the Liao State to call the dynasty!
However, the An Dynasty is difficult to shake even its own huge Liao State, and a mere White Lotus Sect can really succeed?
Even Yelu Hongji knew that the White Lotus Teacher was unknown, he specialized in bewitching the people, and he had few soldiers and no money, so he was not the opponent of the An Dynasty at all, and the reason why the White Lotus Sect was so rampant in Shandong now was because of the topography of Shandong!
Yelu Hongji finally woke up, but the dream was not shattered, and asked Zhang Xiaojie: "Zhang Aiqing, you said that after this time the An Dynasty withdrew from Shandong, does it mean that the situation has changed?" ”
Zhang Xiaojie rolled his eyes, and his dream of feeling Yelu Hongji had not yet woken up, so he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the An Dynasty's retreat is an illusion, to put it bluntly, it is dissatisfied with the current generals, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, so I have to retreat first and then fight, and the minister heard that this time An Chao reinstated Li Zhun and ordered this person to be the privy deputy envoy and the secretary of the military department, I am afraid that in the near future, the position of the Shandong Economic Strategy Envoy will also fall to Li Zhun's head!" ”
"So, my imperial uncle, this time he has made up his mind?" Yelu Hongji finally understood what Zhang Xiaojie meant.
Zhang Xiaojie nodded to Yelu Hongji, and then said: "So Your Majesty, this time we still have to negotiate, this White Lotus Sect is only afraid that the An Dynasty will not be able to defeat for a while, if it is not to take advantage of the difficulties of the An Dynasty this year, I am afraid that there will be no better time than this in the future!" ”
"How?" Yelu Hongji didn't understand, if you want to talk about the timing of blackmail, wouldn't it be better to wait for the An Dynasty to send troops?
At that time, the soldiers of the An Dynasty went to Shandong, as long as they behaved a little like that in Liao, or even sneezed, I was afraid that Zhao Quan would also have trouble sleeping, and when the time came, I was negotiating, I was afraid that Zhao Quan would agree to anything!
Zhang Xiaojie said: "Your Majesty, if several envoys of the An Dynasty do not get a reply this time, I am afraid that the An Dynasty will not send troops!" ”
Then, Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Hongji stated the relationship.
Yelu Hongji heard this, and then admired Zhang Xiaojie, and said: "It is worthy of Zhang Aiqing, it is really a last resort, it seems that this time, if you don't negotiate with them, the soldiers of the An Dynasty really can't be transferred to Gyeonggi Province!" ”
So, Yelu Hongji found Yelu Aluhan again, so that he could say that Yelu Aluhan also understood what Zhang Xiaojie and Yelu Hongji meant, so he had to start negotiating again!
Met Xiao Mo in the council hall again, this time in addition to Liu Yuzhi, Jiang Wenzheng also came.
Yelu Aluhan's face was not good, but he didn't mention the Southern Dynasty anymore, and said directly: "You came from afar, and after a long delay, this king will not sell Guanzi, this time my Emperor Da Liao means that if you want Da Liao not to interfere in the affairs of Shandong, the An Dynasty must give Da Liao a peace tax of 500,000 taels of silver for one year!" ”
Wow! Xiao Mo was speechless, how could this prince of Liao State talk like a thug collecting protection tax?
Xiao Mo shook his head at Yelu Aluhan and said, "Lord Wang, 500,000 taels, isn't it too much?" ”
In fact, it's not much at all, but this is for the An Dynasty, for the Liao State, the 300,000 taels of coins made the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State happy, and this time, Yelu Aluhan asked for 500,000 taels as soon as he opened his mouth!
Yelu Aluhan said: "Presumably Lord Xiao also knows that these 500,000 taels are not much at all, and for your An Dynasty, it is just a drop in the bucket!" ”
Xiao Mo laughed, although Yelu Aluhan's words are good, but we will give as much as you want?
If that's the case, back in the An Dynasty, do these people still have a face?
Originally, as a dignified Central Plains power, it was necessary to give Liao 300,000 yuan every year, which was already enough to humiliate the country, but now it has increased by 500,000 taels, or when the two countries are not at war!
When the people learned of this, what would they think?
What will other countries think when they find out?
The people will surely think that it is the incompetence of the three Qincha; And foreign people will definitely think that An Chao is incompetent and can be bullied casually!
Therefore, Xiao Mo has to argue with reason: "Lord Wang, it is not a question of more or less, but a matter of principle, this 500,000 taels, Xiao Mo can't agree!" ”
Yelu Aluhan was very tough, and he refused to retreat easily, and said to Xiao Mo: "Then there is no need to talk about it, you fight your Shandong, as for our Liao country, what should be done!" ”
It's a scoundrel, and it's threatened.
Xiao Mo became disgusted in his heart, not only to the Liao Kingdom, but especially to Yelu Aluhan!
But there is no way, after all, it is now the strength of others!
Xiao Mo had no choice but to persuade with good words: "Lord Wang, be accommodating!" ”
This is not a vegetable market to buy vegetables, how can it be so easy to bargain?
So Jeruhan snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
At this time, Liu Yu said: "Lord Wang, please forgive me for being rude, the proposal of the prince just now, An Chao can't agree!" ”
Liu Yuzhi is much tougher than Xiao Mo.
Yelu Aruhan sneered: "Don't agree? Hehe, Lord Xiao, who has the final say among the envoys of the An Dynasty? ”
Xiao Mo knew that Yelu Aluhan was deliberately provoking the relationship between himself and Liu Yuzhi, and wanted to mess up his and Liu Yuzhi's mentality! So he smiled and said, "Lord Wang, why do you have to ask this? What Lord Liu said and what Xiao Mo said all mean the same thing! ”
Yelu Aluhan said: "Since this is the case, then the king said bluntly, if you can't agree to 500,000 taels, then 300,000 taels, no less, if not, this king will not talk about it, you go directly to the emperor!" ”
300,000 taels?
Xiao Mo and Liu Yuzhi glanced at each other, then they both shook their heads, Xiao Mo said: "Lord Wang, at most 100,000 taels!" ”
"One hundred thousand taels?" Jeruhan asked.
"Hmmm! One hundred thousand taels. Xiao Mo nodded affirmatively.
If it is an ordinary businessman and ordinary people, 100,000 taels of silver can be said to be a large number, but for a country, or a country with a very large area, this 100,000 taels of silver is dispensable!
So hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yelu Aluhan laughed and said, "Aren't a few Mo playing this king?" In this case, this king still says the same thing, don't talk about it! ”
At this time, Liu Yuzhi was also angry, what do you think you are? Do you want to give you 100,000?
As a result, the two sides are at such a stalemate, and they can't talk anymore!
I couldn't help it, and in the end, I still got to Yelu Hongji!
Yelu Hongji listened to the negotiation and frowned.
The analysis of the two sides is 400,000 taels of silver, and this gap can be said to be not small!
Yelu Hongji was also angry, angry that what kind of people were sent by the An Dynasty this time, not to mention the stinginess, but one by one, there is a tiger spirit, the insistence that should be insisted on, the argument that should be argued for, and the argument that should be fought for is not ambiguous at all!
So Yelu Hongji had no choice, so he went to the harem, planning to watch a juju to relieve his boredom!
The ancient Keju is also the football of later generations, of course, it is not the same as football, but it is also about the same, after all, Kemari is the predecessor of football!
After watching this kick bow, Yelu Hongji also saw that he was happy, and at this time, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he called the eunuch and said: "Go, tell Zhang Aiqing, just say that I have thought of a way, let Xiao Mo and the three of them go to the palace tomorrow!" ”
