Chapter 183: The Discussion of Affinity
As soon as Dayan's left servant shot Li Ke appeared, Mu Lun and the Manggul envoy immediately stopped arguing, and the Manggul envoy looked at the Da Yan State Minister with confidence, and said secretly in his heart: "Although the relationship between Dayan and Manggul is not as good as before, it has always been interconnected, and it is also harmonious." At this critical moment, Dayan will definitely stand on Manggul's side. ”
Mullen looked at Rick and could tell that he was trying to suppress his excitement.
"Prime Minister Muren, Honorable Envoy of Manggul. The Heavenly Wolf Khanate and Manggul are both important neighbors of Great Yan, and His Majesty the Great Yan Emperor attaches great importance to your requirements. I propose to put aside the differences for the first time and talk about things that are beneficial to all three of us. ”
"Not long after His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, it is the time to forge ahead, and my Dayan Zhongxing is just around the corner. It's just that His Majesty the Emperor is still alone, which is not conducive to the Great Yan Guozuo. To know the Dao of Heaven and Earth, the peace of yin and yang is the foundation. After discussing with His Majesty, the official felt that the Great Yan Harem could not be left without an owner. Queen Dayan's mother is the world, and she must be a woman with a noble status to take on the role. Therefore, Dayan wants to ask for marriage from the Heavenly Wolf Khanate and the Manggul Kingdom, but I wonder what the Prime Minister Mulun and the Manggul envoys think? ”
The envoy of Manggul frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Li Xiang, Dayan and Manggul were also once the country of in-laws. At that time, I was the queen of Estee Lanna, who was Manggul, and she was one of the wives of Yan Wushuang. The eldest princess of His Majesty Long Xingyun, Emperor of the Great Yan Holy Ancestor Ren, is married to the greatest lion king of our Manggul, Wushuang. His Majesty Ashinalaan. Since then, intermarriages between the Da Yan and Manggul nobles have been commonplace. Now that His Majesty Dayan has ascended the throne and courted Manggul, this is naturally very good. However, we will never let our daughter serve the daughter of the enemy in the same husband. Moreover, now Manggul does not have the right age to marry. ”
Mu Lun smiled and said: "Li Xiang, our Celestial Wolf Khanate's Great Khan Sumeiduo, now matches His Majesty the Great Yan Emperor in terms of identity and age, and the Celestial Wolf Khanate is very willing to form a country of marriage with Great Yan." However, the status of the Great Khan of our country is extremely noble, and if you want to achieve such a good thing, Dayan must show sincerity. ”
When Long Xingrong heard Mu Lun's words, his heart was inexplicably excited. Su Meiduo's delicate face appeared in front of Long Xingrong's eyes, that woman with wildness in her grace, atmosphere and intelligence, how to look at it.
"What does Prime Minister Mullen mean by sincerity?" Long Xingrong asked.
"Your Majesty, ordinary men and women in the Sirius Khanate must first have a good impression of each other before they talk about marriage. Our Sumedo Great Khan is blessed by the Son of the Celestial Wolf and is the embodiment of our supreme god, the Heavenly Mother, and is naturally different from ordinary women. If His Majesty wants to marry the Great Khan of Sumedo, then he must be like the men of the Celestial Wolf Khanate, and do everything possible to win the heart of the Great Khan. Otherwise, there is no way for Mullen to force the Great Khan to marry you. ”
"Humph!" The envoy snorted and turned his head to the side.
"Prime Minister Mulun, if today the Wolf Khanate has included all of Dayan's Far East, Heavenly Wolf and Pingrong Grassland, isn't this enough?" Rick asked.
"Li Xiang, this grassland is the ancestral land of the Rong Department, and it is natural to take it back now. Besides, these lands were not given to us by Dayan, but were given back by us with the blood of countless warriors. This can't be regarded as Dayan's sincerity, right? ”
"So what does Prime Minister Mullen think it should be?"
"Since Da Yan wants to become a country of in-laws with the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, then he should make a gesture first. First of all, the legitimacy of the existing territory of the Celestial Wolf Khanate will be recognized, and the two sides will use the Line of Actual Control as a temporary border, and then the two countries will jointly demarcate the boundary after the relationship between your Emperor and our Great Khan is confirmed. Second, Dayan should recognize that the Celestial Wolf Khanate and Dayan are on an equal footing, and that the relationship between the two countries is on an equal footing, and that the Celestial Wolf Khanate will no longer be a subject state of Dayan in the future. Third, Dayan opened up the border gates to each other, and there could be no restrictions on trade between the two countries, and Dayan should adopt a duty-free policy for the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. Fourth, there should be mutual communication between Great Yan and the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, and as long as the techniques of Great Yan are beneficial to the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, they must be taught to the Heavenly Wolf Khanate free of charge. Fifth, in the future, when the trade between Dayan and Manggul and other countries needs to pass through the Celestial Wolf Khanate, regardless of whether the Celestial Wolf Khanate participates in it or not, both sides must pay 20% of the profits to the Celestial Wolf Khanate. The above five articles are the basis of harmony and cannot be changed. ”
"The captives are too deceitful and arrogant. Kill our soldiers and civilians, seize our land first, humiliate my Majesty, and destroy the relationship between Dayan and Manggul. Is it tolerable or unbearable, Your Majesty, the ambition of the wolf is to destroy Dayan and then quickly. His Majesty cannot agree to Ronglu's conditions, if he agrees to these conditions, Dayan will surrender his identity and become a vassal of Ronglu, which is a national shame. Your Majesty, please reject the harsh conditions of the captives, drive out the envoys of the captives, and prepare the troops and horses to regain the lost territory. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Huang Pusong, the secretary of the military department, knelt on the ground and reminded Long Xingrong loudly, but except for Chen Jiuling, the secretary of the household department, there was no Dayan official behind him who spoke.
"Hahaha, the cycle of heaven, those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it die. This adult is not in accordance with the will of heaven, is he trying to drag Dayan into the fire pit? You must know that the marriage between the two countries benefits the people of the two countries. Do you want the two countries to continue to fight and the lives of the people to be miserable? Mu Lun said to Huangpu Song with a smile.
Huangpu Song: "Hmph! A wolf is a wolf, even if he wears sheep's clothing, he is still a wolf, and if he is a wolf, he will eat people. ”
Mu Lun: "My Rong tribe has taken the wolf as a totem since ancient times, it is the wolf who taught us the way to survive, and our Rong tribe has finally returned to the land left to us by our ancestors after hardships, and whoever dares to drive us away is our mortal enemy." Since this lord despises the Celestial Wolf Khanate so much, then this great minister also made it clear that between Dayan and the Celestial Wolf Khanate, they are either friends or enemies, and you choose which way to go. ”
Mu Lun's words were sonorous and powerful, and the hearts of the ministers in Taihe Palace were like a giant hammer knocking again. Dayan is now a mess in the country, Jiangnan deviated from Dayan and ruled the river, and all parts of the country made the army self-respecting, and it was only perfunctory to the imperial court, even the ceremony of Long Xingrong's enthronement, except for the northwest and the four states, there were not a few jiedu envoys from all over the country. In terms of overall national strength, today's Dayan is not much stronger than the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, the key is that the civil strife continues, and it is impossible to concentrate on fighting against the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. This is in response to the words of the emperor: if the internal troubles are not eliminated, the external troubles will not be eliminated.
Although the Heavenly Wolf Khanate has just been established, its army is strong, and it has recovered the entire steppe, and it is in a period of rapid rise, which is in stark contrast to the waning western mountains of Dayan. At this time, it was indeed out of place to annoy the Celestial Wolf Khanate. However, the conditions proposed by the Heavenly Wolf Khanate were too excessive, and it was difficult for the always proud Great Yan to agree to their request.
The court was silent for a while, and Xu Yangzheng came out tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of harmony is not in a hurry, you can discuss it below, and then draw up a chapter for Your Majesty to see." ”
"Exactly. Prime Minister Mu Lun, I really want to marry Su Meiduo as the queen, but the conditions put forward by your country are too harsh, this is not the relationship between you and me, please consider it greatly. ”
As soon as Long Xingrong's words came out, Huangpu Song and others lamented in their hearts, this soft word really made people's hearts chill. Huang Pu Song and Chen Jiuling stood up and retreated to the class, without saying a word. The envoy of Manggul looked at the performance of Long Xingrong and Dayan Qunchen with a calm face, and the anger in his heart continued to rise.
Mu Lun laughed and said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in our grassland: true friendship does not count gains and losses. Since His Majesty has opened Chrysostom, then this prime minister will naturally not refuse. The fourth of the five mentioned above can be put on hold for the time being, which is our biggest concession. ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister, but I still need to discuss with the ministers, and I will reply to the Minister after the discussion."
"That's fine, then Mullen will go back and wait first. Your Majesty, Mullen farewell. ”
Mu Lun bowed, turned and walked out of the Taihe Palace. Long Xingrong asked a few times, but the ministers were silent, and finally Li Ke proposed to go out of class.
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to quell the civil strife and subdue the forces of the feudal towns, and it is okay to forbear for the time being. The intention of the peace affair is to stabilize the Rong captives and prevent them from attacking Dayan again, so that we can concentrate on quelling the rebellion, and it is best to take Jiangnan back. Even if it can't be recovered in a short time, at least the Jiangnan coalition forces will be driven back to the Jiang side. After that, recuperate and strengthen the national strength, and after sweeping away the civil strife in one fell swoop, he will repay the shame of today. The minister suggested that he agree to the conditions of the Celestial Wolf Khanate and marry Sumedo as the empress. ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. How Dayan pacifies the civil strife and how to deal with the Heavenly Wolf Khanate is your internal affair, and Manggul has no right to interfere. However, the fifth condition proposed by the Heavenly Wolf Khanate involves the interests of the Manggul State, and I wonder how His Majesty and the Minister of State will deal with it? ”
"Your honor, you must know that now that the grassland has been lost to the hands of the captives, Dayan is no longer able to maintain the safety of the trade route, and it is a last resort to accept the conditions of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. I also ask your envoy to inform His Majesty King Manggul that since you and I are brothers, we should share weal and weal together, and I hope that your country can be consistent with Dayan. Rick said.
"Before this envoy came to Dayan, His Majesty the King said that if Dayan raised troops to recover the grassland, Mang Guer was willing to send a national army to help Dayan recapture the grassland. After Dayan recovers the lost territory, our country will never leave a single soldier on the territory of Dayan, and Anxi City will also return to Zhao at that time, which is our Manggul's sincerity to Dayan. Your Majesty, it is up to Your Majesty to decide what to do. ”
Long Xingrong touched his chin and muttered for a long time before saying, "Thank you for the kindness of His Majesty King Manggul, quelling the civil strife and recovering the lost territory is the internal affair of Dayan, so it won't bother Manggul." As for the relationship between Dayan and the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, I would also like to ask your envoy to pass through His Majesty the King of your country, hoping that the King of your country can understand. ”
"Understood, this makes quite understanding. His Majesty has authorized this envoy to have full authority to handle the relations between our two countries, so this envoy will inform His Majesty the Great Yan Emperor today on behalf of my Majesty the King and the people of Manggul. Manggul is a country that advocates freedom, and will never accept the conditions imposed on us by other countries, and for the sake of freedom and national dignity, the whole country of Manggul would rather die in battle than give in. Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yan, on behalf of His Majesty the King of Manggul, I inform the Great Yan that from now on Manggul will break off diplomatic relations with the Great Yan until His Majesty believes that the Great Yan can become a friend of the Manggul again. Your Majesty the Emperor, this envoy is taking his leave. By the way, this is a day worthy of leaving a mark in the history books, and the envoy told His Majesty that my name is Alamatan. ”
After Almutan finished speaking, he turned around and left the Taihe Palace, and on the same day, Almutan led the Manggul envoy to leave Mukden and return to Manggul. With the severance of diplomatic relations between Manggul and Dayan, Long Xingrong lost a chance to make Dayan rise again. (To be continued.) )
