"Xiaguan knocks to see the prince!"
Seeing Hongqing's indifferent eyes swept over, Lang Erheng's heart was panicked, and he couldn't help but tremble, hurriedly lowered his head, and rushed forward in a panic, respectfully paying homage.
"Excuse me."
Facing Lang Erheng's big gift, Hongqing did not call out immediately, but let him kneel there for a while, and then he spoke softly.
"Thank you, Lord Longen."
Lang Erheng over the years, in fact, has dealt with Hongqing, the previous Russian envoy visited, it was he who accompanied Hongqing to deal with it, the relationship between them was originally good, and the usual faces were also casual laughter, and there were not too many scruples, but at this time, one is a ghost in his heart, and the other is also suppressed by Hongqing's huge aura, Lang Erheng only felt uncomfortable, the voice of gratitude was full of trills, not to say, just get up, people don't dare to stand up straight, quite obscene bowing, Qiang wanted to squeeze out a smile, but no matter how hard he tried, his face just didn't obey the call, he only saw convulsions, but he didn't see a smile.
"Lang Shangshu has been raised for so long, his body should be very good, right?"
Although Hongqing didn't smile, he didn't embarrass Lang Erheng much, he just asked indifferently in his voice, not so much as greetings, but in a routine, which was clearly a posture to cut the distance between each other.
"Xie Wang Ye inquired, the lower official is already very good, a few days ago the lower official was ill, failed to fulfill his duties, I am really ashamed, now I am lucky, I dare not slack off, I have come to negotiate with the prince on the charter of negotiation, if there is no place, please also ask the prince to have a lot of sea Han."
Lang Erheng was not sick at all, but he was just pretending to be sick by order, and when he heard Hongqing ask about his physical condition, he couldn't help but feel empty in his heart, and hurriedly explained with a smile.
"Well, it's good that healed, the matter of negotiating the statute has now been submitted to the Imperial Palace, and there is anything that needs to be adjusted, and it is not too late to discuss it after the Emperor Ama has shown it."
Lang Erheng's intention, Hongqing actually guessed it a long time ago, it was nothing more than to come to find ballast, what he wanted was to mess up the established charter again, or to drag Hongqing to death in the Li Fan Yuan, there was only one purpose, that is, to buy time for Heda's secret work, such an intention is too obvious, with Hongqing's IQ, he doesn't even need to calculate, he can see it at a glance, of course, Hongqing will not say anything, just quietly rejected Lang Erheng's proposal to negotiate.
"This ......, hehe, don't hide it from the prince, the lower officials went to the palace first, and the ministers of the military aircraft have some different opinions on this charter, and the lower officials are really difficult to answer questions because they have not participated in the drafting, so they have no choice but to bother the prince."
Hearing Hongqing's refusal so simply, Lang Erheng couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't plan to just give up, but when he saw that his eyes rolled, he was already smirking and rambling.
Does the Minister of Military Aircraft have an opinion? Hey,, isn't it just that our bastard dad has an idea!
As soon as Lang Erheng's words came out, Hongqing knew that it would be difficult to be kind today, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just nodded expressionlessly and said: "In this case, Lord Lang just say it and listen to it." ”
"Ah, yes, then the subordinate will be bold and presumptuous."
Lang Erheng was ready to "argue" with Hongqing, but he didn't expect Hongqing to change his words, and actually agreed to his request for consultation, and he couldn't help but be stunned again, but fortunately, the reaction was quite quick, and he quickly came back to his senses, first hurriedly greeted him, and then he quickly organized the language, and said with a smile: "My Qing Dynasty is thriving, and it is the prestige of the overseas regions, and it is the heavenly kingdom. This good thing should also be made to meet His Majesty and perform three kowtows and nine bows, so as to show the unparalleled prestige of my Qing Dynasty, I don't know if the prince thinks so? ”
"Well, that's one thing, and what about it, Lord Lang doesn't have to hide it, and then talk about it."
As soon as Lang Erheng's high-profile words came out, although Hongqing's expression remained unchanged, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, no side, just because Lang Erheng's proposal was simply a joke, you must know that since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Kingdom of Great Britain was not the first Western country to visit, as early as the early years of Kangxi, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands and other old colonial countries have sent envoys to visit, all of these envoys have refused to bow three times and bow nine times to the ceremony, because of this, They didn't really meet the emperor, and the old man didn't feel sorry for these envoys back then, although he didn't agree to the various requirements of these envoys, but they were all polite, and it was the turn of Emperor Chengde, and he turned out the things that had become a rule, and what was wrong with it, didn't this deliberately make things difficult? It's just that Hongqing didn't plan to have a seizure, and he didn't rush to give Lang Erheng an explanation, he just whispered quietly, and asked calmly.
"Lord Mingjian, this time the Kingdom of Great Britain is intended to trade with my Qing Dynasty, it should be quite sincere, now, my Qing fleet has traveled across the ocean, although it is profitable, but the risk is not small, there are always losses, if the other country intends to set up some trade in my Qing Dynasty, it seems to be able to reduce the risk of my Qing Dynasty, if the profit is not bad, it seems to be allowable, it is better than the charter to sail to the poison (India) transaction, I don't know if the prince has a comprehensive consideration for this?"
Lang Erheng came to find the ballast, although he saw the unhappiness hidden under Hongqing's indifferent face, but Lang Erheng did not give up, but snorted and continued to fire at the charter drawn up by Hongqing.
"Well, there's more, go on."
If the first article mentioned by Lang Erheng can be explained by Yang Guowei, the second article he mentioned is completely unreasonable and unreasonable without knowing how to pretend to understand, but Hongqing still did not attack it, and he didn't explain anything, just asked quietly.
"This ......, hehe, let the prince smile, these two are fundamental, as for some minor problems in the back, let's just discuss it."
Lang Erheng was able to climb to the high position of the Shangshu of the Li Fan Academy, although it was because Emperor Chengde supported him behind the scenes, but he himself could be regarded as a rare talent in the family of Prince Cheng's Mansion back then, and he was not a dull person, this Hongqing never gave a word of truth, how could he not know that the situation was not good, even if there was the acquiescence and support of Emperor Chengde behind him, but the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, if he was really hit by Hongqing as a target, I am afraid that Emperor Chengde did not dare to help him support him to the end, thinking about this, Lang Erheng didn't dare to be more presumptuous, so he hurriedly snorted and stopped, but he didn't say anything to death, and left a small tail that could advance and retreat.
"Lord Lang can be so dedicated to state affairs, I'm afraid it's not good, even so, this king will leave these two things to you to try to do, don't worry, there is still more than half a month before the arrival of the British envoys, you just have to do it slowly."
Hongqing is not so easy to fool, he didn't worry about Lang Er at all, and he didn't get angry with him, but took out the shelf of the prince of Qincha, and unceremoniously deducted the responsibility on his head.
"Ah, this ......"
Lang Erheng's purpose in proposing such was to embarrass Hongqing, but he didn't expect Hongqing to even have an explanation, so he transferred the problem to his own family, even if he was dumbfounded, his mouth was open, and he was about to explain it, and he was flustered, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.
"Lord Lang is a talented person, this king has always known, and he has lived in the Imperial Court for many years, and in diplomatic matters, when he is extremely familiar with it, there is no need to shirk, this king believes that Lord Lang will fulfill his duties, this matter is decided, give you ten days, come up with a corresponding charter, just go."
Hongqing didn't give Lang Erheng a chance to breathe at all, and he didn't intend to listen to his explanation, and after explaining in an indisputable tone, he immediately gave the order to expel the guest with a cold face.
"Wang Ye Mingjian, Xia Guan, Xia Guan......"
As soon as he heard Hongqing's instructions, Lang Erheng was in a hurry, there was no side, it was easy to pick thorns, it was not a simple matter to come up with a charter, don't look at him Lang Erheng said it before, in fact, his own family affairs understand that he has Hongqing's ability, and ask him to start a new stove, isn't this his old life, under the weakness of his heart, how dare he respond to his orders, and he is busy with words and resignations.
"Sending off!"
Lang Erheng had the intention to quibble, but Hongqing didn't plan to give him a chance at all, and before he could come up with a reason, his face was already pale, and he broke off without mercy.
"Wow!"
Hearing Hongqing's order, Ding Song, who was waiting on the side, didn't dare to slack off, and immediately responded loudly, and walked in front of Lang Erheng in a few big steps, and waved his hand without saying anything: "Lord Lang, please!" ”
"Farewell to the official!"
Seeing Ding Song so stubbornly in front of him, although Lang Erheng was unwilling, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he could only reluctantly leave.
"Forbearance for the country? Hey ......"
Dealing with Lang Erheng like this, it is really not Hongqing's original intention, if it is according to Hongqing's past style, how can Lang Erheng pass the pass so easily, without peeling off a layer of his skin, this matter cannot be counted, but the current situation is too delicate, Hongqing really does not want to tear his face with Emperor Chengde at this time, and make it difficult in every way, Hongqing can only smile coldly......
