Chapter 508: Diplomatic Contest
Zhao Gongming watched Sun Teng and Yang Kan walking around the crowd from a distance with wine glasses, they seemed to forget that there was a funeral here, and they seemed very excited to shuttle among the envoys of various countries, the two of them performed what they thought was a perfect performance, but they didn't know that they had already seen through their tricks and saw through all the ideas behind them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info What a clumsy performance, Zhao Gongming thought to himself.
Ashina Koro was sitting on a high throne at the moment, where his father had sat before, but now he was sitting on it, what was the feeling? He felt extremely excited, confident, and arrogant. I feel that I am now the strongest lord of the grassland. The first person to sit was Prince Ashina Ayuhuan, and then his stupid brother Ashina Yandu. Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he felt that although Yan Du was brave, after his father's death, he had no father like himself, and he had some sympathy for him in his heart.
Koro raised his glass and wanted to toast, Ayuhuan hurriedly signaled everyone to be quiet, the new king ascended the throne for the first time, and he had to say a few words on a formal occasion, plus this was the funeral of his father Tumen, everyone was naturally very face-saving, and they stood quietly and solemnly. Koro was very satisfied now, he got up and said confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to thank you for coming, my father's funeral is also complete thanks to you, our Turks have the most important friendship, you can treat my wooden pole as your own, I am very pleased, here I wish you all the blessings of the Immortal Heaven, and enjoy the world with our Turks." Cheers! ”
The people below raised their glasses, and although there was no music (no musical instruments could be played at the funeral), the envoys of these countries drank the wine from the glasses with great dignity. The maids in the back poured them wine again. Coro drank a little wine and began to look for trouble, at this time he saw Sun Teng, who was very active, and thought of some unpleasantness with Gao Huan on the battlefield before, and even more angry when he thought that they had eliminated their ally Yuwen Hu, who was still very good to him.
So Koro stood up and pointed at Sun Teng and said, "The lackey of Qi Kingdom, you come here, I see that you are very happy with a smile on your face, what do you mean?" Sun Teng was scolded by him with a dazed look and didn't know what to do. As the king of a country, this is indeed a loss of grace, even if there is no standard, he will not lose face like this, not to mention that he represents a country and a nation. Even Ayuhuan on the side felt very faceless, so he stepped forward to dissuade him, who knew that Koro shook off Ayuhuan's hand, pointed at Sun Teng and said: "Dog minion, I called you over, what are you laughing at at my father's funeral?" ”
Sun Teng couldn't help being insulted one after another like this in his old face, he put down what he was holding and was going to reason with him, at this time Yang Kan hurriedly grabbed him from behind and said softly: "Don't confront him here, otherwise you will lose our grace." Sun Teng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. At this time, Ayuhuan really couldn't look at it, so he hurriedly came out and laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Wang Khan is in a bad mood because of the death of the old Wang Khan, and he is drunk and talking nonsense." Don't mind, everyone. Then he grabbed Coro, who wanted to be drunk, and motioned with his eyes for him to leave first.
Koro couldn't twist Ayuhuan, and staggered down the steps, Ayuhuan hurriedly said: "Blind minion, don't hurry up and help Wang Khan Dao to rest for a while, he is overworked and heartbroken." So several maidservants stepped forward to help him go. Ayuhuan hurriedly came to Sun Teng and said with a smile: "It's rude, let the guests laugh, our Wang Khan did lose his temper just now, and please don't let the guests go." Come and I will give you one cup instead of Wang Khan, and then punish myself three cups. Sun Teng was scolded inexplicably, and now he doesn't want to pay attention to him.
Yang Kan behind him hurriedly became a peacemaker, picked up a wine glass full of wine and handed it to him, and then said to Ayuhuan with a smile: "We understand Wang Khan's feelings, losing his father is indeed a big blow, and we can understand occasional gaffes, it's okay, it's okay." Sun Teng stopped doing it when he heard this, and said in his heart that his feelings were not scolding you, but you were quite open-minded to go out of me. glared at him fiercely, and Yang Kan said to him Nunu, don't be embarrassed. Sun Teng is also an old Jianghu in the end, and he has been doing diplomatic work under Gao Huan for five or six years, and this measure is still there.
So he had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, and said with a smile on his face: "I can understand Wang Khan's mood." With that, he drank the glass of wine with Ayuhuan's apology. This little episode was all seen by Zhao Gongming in the crowd on the side, he felt that Yang Kan was very terrifying at the moment, he simply had a terrifying determination, this person was definitely not an ordinary person, his endurance and improvisation were too strong.
If the previous impression of him was taciturn and indifferent, at this moment, his deep understanding of Yang Kan is that this person is scheming and has extraordinary wisdom. Such a person is in the Qi country, it is simply a disaster for the Turks, and now whether to report everything he knows with Koro, Zhao Gongming's heart is very entangled at the moment. He knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Sun Tengyang would definitely die. But why there is a tangled and melancholy mood, which makes him himself wonder.
In the end, he figured it out and didn't tell Carrow everything he knew. But he felt the need to give Yang Kan a little color, and he was very interested in Yang Kan and wanted to have a face-to-face communication with him. So after the banquet was over, he came to the tent where Sun Teng and Yang Kan lived and knocked on the door. Inside, Yang Kan asked, "Who?" ”
Zhao Gongming didn't want to say his name, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to forget it, since he was here to show him a head-to-head showdown, there was no need to hide his true identity, so he said in a low voice: "It's me, Zhao Gongming." Yang Kan didn't know who he was, but Sun Teng, who was sitting in it sulking, knew who he was, and immediately jumped up and opened the door for him. ”
Zhao Gongming smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, I just want to talk to you Lord Yang, there is nothing else." Yang Kan hurriedly said at this moment: "Looking for me? Please come in. Sit down and talk. "It's giving up your seat and pouring water. Zhao Gongming smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so polite, I'll leave after a few words." Yang Kan then asked, "Oh, then please show me, what advice do you have for me?" ”
"I don't dare to give advice, I just want to tell you that although I, Zhao Gongming, am a Han Chinese, the Han people have hurt me far more than the Turkic people here have given me." Zhao Gongming complained angrily. Yang Kan nodded and said, "Well, I can see this, the people here respect you very much, sir." I heard that you were a teacher in the Central Plains before, and you were really powerful. ”
Zhao Gongming didn't answer his words, and continued: "But I want to say to Lord Yang, don't underestimate the Turks, they are not as easy to be divided, corrupted, and co-opted as you think. The kinship bond between them is a thousand times stronger than that of the Han Chinese. As soon as Yang Kan heard this, his brain immediately exploded, and Sun Teng's face was also very ugly, it was obvious that the person in front of him already knew all the content of their conversation.
