Zhao appeased the envoy. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shi Tianze made a gesture of please at Zhao Wenyi.

Zhao Wenyi smiled slightly, held the scepter in his hand, and strode straight in, without the slightest hint of humility. And Boyan and Huaidu, who were standing behind Shi Tianze, their faces sank slightly, and Huaidu just wanted to step forward to scold, but Boyan quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes:

"Holding a scepter, it symbolizes the emperor's personal presence, if it is replaced by you and I at the order of the Great Khan to hold a scepter to the Southern Barbarians, it should also be the same, put yourself in the shoes of Zhao Wenyi, what Zhao Wenyi has done is impeccable, even as a courtier, loyal to the king, it should be so."

Huaidu glared at Zhao Wenyi's back indignantly, and walked to the lobby with Boyan.

You Xuanfu was already standing at the door of the lobby, and when he saw Zhao Wenyi, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "The person who came is Zhao Xianggong, the contemptible You Xuanfu, who is a pawn under the command of Kublai Khan of my Great Mongolia, and the Great Khan ordered a certain person to come and represent his will with full powers." ”

Zhao Wenyi nodded: "Mr. You's name, Zhao has been admired for a long time." ”

Originally, it was just a polite greeting, but Zhao Wenyi seemed to deliberately bite the word "Jiuyang" very hard, the speaker may be unintentional, but the listener is very intentional, as a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty several times, if you want to say that You Xuanfu can see anything, it is simply impossible, especially his life's work was ruined in the hands of Ye Yingwu, so that Mongolia's dream of dominating the world was shattered, this is a shame that You Xuanfu will never forget.

And now Zhao Wenyi has something to say, which is clearly emphasizing that You Xuanfu has suffered losses under Da Ming several times, and there is no trace of the emphasis, so that You Xuanfu can't find a handle if he wants to refute for a while, so he can only swallow this breath alone, and sit on the seat unceremoniously.

Shi Tianze, who followed behind, was also an old fox in the officialdom and on the battlefield, where could he not hear the filth between the words of the two people in front of him, but Shi Tianze didn't say much, just frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Wenyi, this time the toughness of the attitude of the Nanban envoy has exceeded his expectations, Shi Tianze and the former Song Dynasty have not clashed much in the negotiation field before, but every time the Song people go in and out respectfully with their heads down, and they don't even dare to take a breath, which is no different from a few wild dogs that have lost their souls, But today, although it is on the territory of Mongolia, although it is in the midst of heavy troops, Shi Tianze has the illusion that he is the wild dog.

The Southern Barbarian, Da Ming, is not the Da Ming who can be ravaged at will after all.

They didn't just reclaim their dignity and honor from the battlefield.

Shi Tianze squinted at Zhao Wenyi, a little helpless for a while, although he was experienced, but it was all against the officials and generals of the former Song Dynasty, in front of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, all the Mongolian and Han generals present were the same inexperienced.

The only one who can be relied on is You Xuanfu, who is sitting on it and is a little depressed.

As soon as Zhao Wenyifu sat down, he immediately said in a cold voice: "This official came this time to inquire on behalf of Daming, and your country is besieging my Daming City Bosi Mansion in Chenzhou, I don't know what it means?" ”

You Xuanfu was silent for a moment, then considered the words and said: "The Chenzhou City Bosi is hiding important criminals, and my Mongolian soldiers should naturally come to the door to ask for it, and the Shizhou Bosi actually raised the soldiers in the palace to fight against it. It is also natural to arrest the thieves and thieves for the duty of our Mongolian soldiers to search for the enemy, and it is also for the peace and stability of the two countries. ”

Without waiting for You Xuanfu to finish speaking, Zhao Wenyi laughed: "Mr. You was also present at the contract signed by Caizhou, and Mr. You must be very clear that the contract is written in black on a white background that Chenzhou City is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. I think that your country uses force against the city and the government in any form and under any pretext, it is all about invading the territory of the Ming Dynasty and starting a war against the Ming Dynasty, right? ! ”

The sound cut through the ice and snow, and the atmosphere in the entire lobby was suddenly cold.

The Mongolian generals subconsciously leaned forward slightly, and their hands were already pressed on their swords.

Obviously, You Xuanfu didn't expect Zhao Wenyi's attitude to be so tough, when Caizhou was negotiating, although Ye Yingwu was also the same as an inch, but at that time, Ye Yingwu was just hiding a needle in the cotton, refuting You Xuanfu's requests one by one, and now Zhao Wenyi is no longer refutating, but reproaching.

You Xuanfu coughed lightly: "Then this time more than 20 spies and sentries of your country were arrested, I don't know how your country will explain, is this also for the peaceful coexistence of the two countries?" ”

Glancing at You Xuanfu, Zhao Wenyi said lightly: "If this official is not mistaken, Mr. You Xuanfu You was in Lin'an before, and he was also a spy of Mongolia, instigating Jia Yidao to surrender to Mongolia and leading Zhang Hongfan to cause trouble in Jiangnan. And this official used to be an official of the former Song Dynasty, but I remember clearly that your country and the former Song Dynasty also claimed to be a fraternal and friendly state. ”

You Xuanfu touched his nose a little embarrassed, in fact, Zhao Wenyi was a little strong, but this happened to be his black history, and it was also an experience that You Xuanfu didn't want to be known, after all, the bold and straightforward Mongolians often looked down on this kind of behavior of stealing chickens and touching dogs and stumbling behind others' backs, and sure enough, without waiting for Zhao Wenyi to finish speaking, many Mongolian generals present looked at You Xuanfu with complicated expressions.

This period of experience in Lin'an undercover is also highly confidential for Mongolia, and only a few upper-level people such as Kublai Khan and Prince Zhenjin know it, so many Mongolian generals only vaguely know about it, and today it was directly exposed by Zhao Wenyi, which naturally embarrassed You Xuanfu.

Although it was for Mongolia, after all, he still made a villain.

Shi Tianze coughed lightly: "What Zhao Xianggong said is the matter of the former Song Dynasty, and now it is a matter between your country and my Great Mongolia. ”

Zhao Wenyi glanced at Shi Tianze, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the table: "Shi Xianggong is true, but what Shi Xianggong means is that your country did not send spies to my Ming Dynasty?" ”

Stunned for a moment, Shi Tianze originally wanted to deny it, but when he saw You Xuan's frowning brows, he finally forcibly swallowed this sentence, and the surrounding Boyan and the others turned even more pale. In their opinion, sending spies is not a glorious thing, and now Shi Tianze has nothing to say, which is obviously tantamount to acquiescence, which is a slap in the face for the straightforward grassland man, and it hurts.

You Xuanfu said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xianggong came here, it is not really just for the matter of the city, but your country provoked a war on the thousand-mile stretch of border between the two countries, and the armies from all walks of life marched towards the hinterland of our Mongolia, is it also because of this?" ”

Huo Ran stood up, and Zhao Wenyi looked at You Xuanfu with blazing eyes: "What Mr. You said is good, I came here this time to ask for this statement!" It is your country that provokes the war, and your country is responsible for the people killed and wounded in the conflict between the two countries, and at the same time, it should also pay compensation for the Ming army's food and grass! ”

"Could it be that we Mongols are scared?!" Huaidu finally couldn't hold it back, and the case was slammed, and even Boyan and the others had angry faces on their faces.

Because of the siege of a mansion, it was bullied to the head, what kind of humiliation is this? Thinking that Mongolia bullied the former Song Dynasty like this, who would have expected that just a few years later, the world would be in such a situation.

"That Da Ming doesn't eat dry rice!" Zhao Wenyi Huo Ran looked at Huaidu, "If your country doesn't give a reasonable explanation, then our two countries will meet on the battlefield and see who will win in the end!" ”

"Presumptuous!" All the Mongol generals had already stood up, and half of their swords were already unsheathed.

"Sit down!" Shi Tianze snorted coldly.

Shi Tianze is a dynasty Pingzhang, not to mention the high power, or the great contributor to the prosperity of Mongolia for so many years, and has a high status and influence in the hearts of these Mongolian generals, he spoke, although many Mongolian generals, including Boyan, had gloomy faces, but they still sat down angrily.

Looking at Zhao Wenyi, who was fearless, Shi Tianze and You Xuanfu subconsciously glanced at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads. To go to war, to go to war, it is easy to say, but now neither Mongolia nor the Ming Dynasty has the ability to really fight each other.

Da Ming's energy was focused on the South Seas, and the firearms and grain and grass hoarded in the north were only enough for defense, and it was difficult to support the offensive at all. The Mongol foundation in the Central Plains is not stable, and even Tuntian has just been expanded, and the city defenses of various cities in the north of Chenzhou have not been repaired and reinforced.

If there is really a war, neither side can afford to fight.

Don't look at the current Zhao Wenyi's full strength and high spirits, but You Xuanfu and Shi Tianze both know that he is just barely supporting it.

What is needed now is to give Daming a step down, and everyone can gather and disperse.

You Xuanfu immediately said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xianggong is angry, I don't know what kind of compensation your country wants. ”

You Xuanfu was soft, Zhao Wenyi also exhaled lightly in his heart, he was a pacification envoy of Huaixi, and he also knew the deployment of the Ming Dynasty in the north, the reason why the Ming Dynasty did not grasp this excuse and directly took Chenzhou was also because the firearms, grain and grass had run out, in fact, Mongolia gritted its teeth and insisted on holding on for a day or two, and the Tianwu army and the two Huai armies outside the city would retreat without a fight.

It's just that now old foxes like You Xuanfu and Shi Tianze haven't seen through the weak nature of Daming in the north.

Zhao Wenyi stretched out two fingers: "His Royal Highness the Emperor is merciful, and he takes the peace and permanence of the two countries as his own responsibility, so I just want to give your country a small punishment, there are two ways you can choose, the first way is to cede Chen Zhou and Daming, and the second way is to compensate three million taels of silver." ”

"Three million taels, why don't you grab it!" A Mongolian general shouted.

The current annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty is only sixty or seventy million taels, and three million taels is equivalent to a month's tax, not to mention that compared with the rich Ming Dynasty, Mongolia's tax revenue is far from reaching this point, and three million taels is enough for the imperial court to be hungry for two or three months.

If there is no silver in the treasury, it can only withhold the income of officials and generals, so these generals will be angry with both public and private.

"Three million taels, your country is too greedy." You Xuanfu couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Wenyi looked at him with a good time: "Three million taels for one Chenzhou doesn't seem to be a loss, if Mr. You is ready to give Chenzhou to Daming, then we will reluctantly accept it." ”

"Three million taels is three million taels." Shi Tianze suddenly spoke.

"Xianggong!" Boyan looked at Shi Tianze in some surprise.

Shi Tianze shook his head slowly, staring at Zhao Wenyi without saying a word.

"Okay, Shi Xianggong is really a happy acquaintance!" Zhao Wenyi laughed and said, "Three million taels, I hope your country will be true to its word." As a sign of sincerity, I, the Ming Dynasty, will stop the current attack, but if I don't see the silver within a week, then please forgive my Ming men for showing no mercy. ”

"Zhao Xianggong rest assured." Shi Tianze stretched out his hand to support the table and said in a deep voice.

With a wave of his sleeves, Zhao Wenyi didn't look at the people of different colors in the lobby, and strode outside.

And Boyan, Huaidu and the others just wanted to ask Shi Tianze why he agreed, but Shi Tianze stood up with a slight tremble, glanced around at everyone in the lobby, and staggered behind the screen, as if the last bit of energy on this old man had been consumed.

In the surprised eyes of the generals, Shi Tianze had not yet walked through the screen, and the person had already slowly fallen to the ground.

"Xianggong!" Several people from Huaidu, who were closest to him, hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Shi Tianze's whole body was trembling, coughing constantly, his lips had lost their original blood, and his voice was weak and heart-wrenching: "Chenzhou, three million taels in exchange for the peace of Chenzhou, this is a last resort, a last resort, you ・・・・・・ you have to defend Chenzhou!" Defend Chenzhou! ”

Before the words fell, the old man coughed violently, blood slowly flowed down the corners of his mouth, and his eyes rolled, and he had already fainted.

"Xianggong!" Huaidu and Boyan hurriedly stepped forward to set up the old man.

All the Mongolian generals looked at this old man who had done his best for Mongolia, and they all knelt down on one knee silently, and saluted respectfully at the old man with their hands on their chests, expressing the highest respect for the heroes of these men on the steppe.

Such a humiliation should not be borne by the already aged Shi Tianze, but he did not hesitate to bear it, even if it would put an indelible stain on his glorious life.

"If I have loyal ministers in my great Mongolia, it is really a blessing for a country." Boyan sighed, Shi Tianze did it, he asked himself if he couldn't do it, no wonder people were able to go to the height of Pingzhang and other prime ministers, but he could only be a general.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Three million taels of silver, it's really a lion's mouth." Jiang Hao said with a smile, "The Mongolian Tartars are going to bleed heavily this time. ”

Zhao Wenyi shook his head helplessly: "Three million taels of silver, it's actually not worth it." ”

The two Huai armies sitting next to him were in command, and Wang Anjie looked at Zhao Wenyi in some surprise: "I don't know what Zhao Xianggong said?" ”

"Three million taels of silver, in exchange for a Chen Zhou, do you say it's worth it?" Zhao Wenyi said in a deep voice, "Chenzhou is like a nail embedded between Caizhou and Huaibei, as long as one day does not belong to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will mobilize heavy troops on both wings to guard against it, and even once the two sides really go to war, Chenzhou must be conquered." Such a top priority is not worth exchanging for three million taels of silver. ”

Wang Anjie and Jiang Hao suddenly glanced at each other in confusion.

Zhao Wenyi smiled bitterly and picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "It's a pity, it's a miscalculation, the reason why three million taels of silver was opened, firstly, this is the amount given by the imperial court, and secondly, it is also afraid that the Mongolian Tartars will be forced to a dead end, and the dog jumps over the wall, you must know that Mongolia's tax revenue is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty, and if you want to maintain the normal operation of its entire institution, these three million taels of silver can only be squeezed out of the teeth, and not from the teeth of Kublai Khan, but between the teeth of these Mongolian officials and generals." I thought that seeing such a large amount of silver taels, these Mongolian generals would inevitably take into account their vital interests, not to mention that most of them came from the northern grasslands, and the importance of the city was far less clear than ours, so maybe they would really hand over Chenzhou, but it was a pity・・・・・・

Wang Anjie frowned: "It's just a pity, what?" ”

Zhao Wenyi looked up in the direction of the Chenzhou City Gate: "It's just a pity that Shi Tianze, an old fox, is present." If You Xuanfu was present alone, even if he clearly understood the key to this, it would be difficult to suppress so many Tartar generals, but Shi Tianze was different, this old fox saw it thoroughly, and he had a high reputation in Mongolia, and even the new generation of Mongolian top-notch figures such as Boyan and Huaidu were respectful and powerful when they saw him, and even so many Mongolian Tatar generals in the lobby had already drawn their swords against a certain one, this Shi Tianze only needed to say one word to make them all sit down quietly, We calculated it clearly, but in the end we missed this person. ”

"This Shi Tianze is really majestic." Jiang Hao sneered, "The Han people are thieves, and they will definitely not die well." ”

"Every man is his master." Zhao Wenyi said lightly, "After all, it was the Mongolian Tartars who raised him, and he was a minister and a loyal monarch, Shi Tianze did the right thing, Kublai Khan invited him, who was about to return to his hometown, to Chenzhou, I am afraid that Boyan would not be able to see the facts clearly and act rashly." It's a pity that the amount of three million taels of silver is not small, it is a bone scraper, which is enough for Shi Tianze to bear. ”

Putting down the teacup, Zhao Wenyi added with a smile:

"It's easy to be a hero, but it's hard to be a sinner!" (To be continued.) )
