Zhao Xian handed the sword to the general in front of the palace at the door, and ignored the strange eyes of the civil and military officials, rushed into the hall in a few steps, saluted next to the third duke, and then said proudly: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the wolf son of the envoy of Dongying was ambitious, and he actually wanted me to divide the area of Songjiang Mansion with Dongying. ”

The courtiers all nodded, they didn't plan to give Songjiang Mansion to Dongying, the emperor was bored to listen to it, and only sighed: "Zhao Aiqing is concerned about the court, I am very relieved, I did not agree to Dongying Fanbang's request." ”

Zhao Xian looked happy, and said more respectfully: "The emperor Shengming, my Liang Tianzi, the respect of the country, when the ancient times are superb, the western oceans of the north and the south island, there is no alliance with relatives, there is no year of thin coins, this party is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the benevolent saint." ”

This praise is quite good, hearing that a group of literati and military generals are enthusiastic, but the emperor's face froze, and the three of Xie Mo, Xu Ming, and Old Man An are also very embarrassed, and they gesture to each other and shake their heads to express embarrassment.

Xu Ming's face was particularly embarrassed, as the first assistant of the cabinet, he agreed with the matter of peace and relatives to make things happen, just now the matter was settled, Zhao Xian came up with this sentence, in this way, it seems that the emperor disregards the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and deigns to be confused with the Dongying barbarians.

It is related to the dignity of the country of Daliang, and the emperor doesn't want to do that kind thing, but now there is no other way, he can't break off diplomatic relations with Dongying.

Old man An appreciated Zhao Xian's words very much, but things were obviously not as simple as Zhao Xian imagined, and everyone wanted to straighten their waists and live. But there have to be that conditions.

Old Man An could only bow to the emperor, and then said to Zhao Xian: "Xian'er." Marrying Her Royal Highness Princess Zhurou to Dongying, the matter has been decided by several cabinet capitals. This is a good thing to make Dongying more subservient to His Majesty, how to establish a country without diplomatic relations, Dongying has been a vassal of the Great Liang since ancient times, and it is normal for them to exchange courtesies with each other. ”

The civil and military officials couldn't say anything, and they all nodded in agreement with Old Man An's words.

Zhao Xian immediately shook his head and said solemnly: "Don't pay tribute, don't call yourself a minister, don't cut land, don't pay compensation, don't make peace, this is the national character, I have the same body as the princess and the emperor, how can I marry those foreign barbarians in Dongying." This kind of barbaric thing that forces his sisters and children to commit to Dongying is absolutely impossible. ”

How can the courtiers not understand the truth, Xie Mo, as the head of the Fuguo Hall, is quite hard-boned, and even he can agree, naturally there is a reason. Xie Mo shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "Zhao Xian, you don't know, it is her Royal Highness Princess Zhurou who agrees to make peace with Dongying, otherwise I will be a courtier." How could she agree to Dongying's unreasonable request, Her Royal Highness the princess is concerned about the court and wants to share the emperor's worries, and the good fortune of the real Liang is ......"

Hearing this, Zhao Xian was shocked. suddenly remembered that he met Ye Sha's maid on the street a few days ago, and Ye Sha asked him to go to Xian as a guest.

Sister Su said that Songjiang Mansion can't be cut out, and other things are arbitrary. These 'other things', I'm afraid, refer to harmony.

Ye Sha must have known Dongying's request. also understands that the old emperor will not cede Songjiang Mansion, but he can't cut off diplomatic relations with Dongying. It is very likely that he will agree to the request of the pro.

The court only asked Ye Sha to marry a princess, and she must have been helpless and wanted to ask herself for help.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xian suddenly thought of what he said to the maid, and his heart tightened slightly.

"I know that your young lady is a princess, she is the princess of Daliang, you should know the current situation of Daliang, Dongying is aggressive and wants Daliang to cede the land around Songjiang Mansion, and the emperor is not in good health and cannot handle political affairs, and the court is in chaos, is she still in the mood to go to the fairy to make those love and love poems?"

There is also that hurtful sentence: "Go back, girl, my young master is not just a palace guard now, I'm afraid I won't be able to obey orders with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

provoked her so much, ridiculed her, reprimanded her for not knowing how to contribute to the big beam all day long, and the old emperor suddenly died suddenly, a double blow At this time, how did Ye Sha bear it, and agreed to this request of harmony, I am afraid that she was forced out by herself.

This dead girl, you fucking ask me for help, can't you make it clear? Playing around the bush with stream of consciousness, who can understand?

Zhao Xian was angry and anxious in his heart, feeling the gaze of the courtiers, he snorted and said: "Your Majesty, it is a matter of the dignity of the country of Daliang, how can you listen to the words of a woman, Dongying's wolf ambition cannot be dissipated because of harmony, there are countless things of harmony throughout the ages, but how many times can you really protect the peace of the country and the people?" If we don't cut off Dongying's thoughts about Songjiang Mansion from the roots, they will come next year, and they will still come the year after, and when there is no princess, what should we do? ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers fell silent, yes! People can come this year and come next year, if they don't completely break their thoughts about Songjiang Mansion, what's the use of paying a princess a few boats of silver? But the old emperor couldn't solve this matter, and the founding emperor couldn't solve it, so it was not easy to make Dongying break his thoughts.

The emperor touched his chubby chin, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "I know this reason, Zhao Aiqing is particularly appreciative of his enthusiasm, but the imperial court can't do without Dongying, the three dukes and six ministries have been discussing for a long time and have not been able to find the best of both worlds, there is no other way to do this." ”

The third duke also nodded again and again, and before he could agree, he saw Zhao Xian take a step forward and raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the three dukes and the six ministries can't do it, it doesn't mean that the ministers can't do it, the minister, dare to ask for orders to meet with the Dongying envoys and discuss this matter anew." ”

"Shhh As soon as the words fell, the ministers in the palace were all staggered, and the sound of cold air continued one after another. If you really have the ability to persuade Dongying, what kind of officials should be the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, go home and plant sweet potatoes.

As soon as such a bold statement came out, all the officials were sideways, Zhao Xian's talent was true, and it was not false that he was brave in battle, but the matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, how could you be a dissolute genius who was less than a weak crown to be competent?

The three princes are highly respected and assisted by the two dynasties, and they can be said to be handy in dealing with big and small things, but they are also worried about this matter and delayed for a long time, or Princess Zhurou recommended herself to commit to Dongying to be resolved, you have only been in Beijing for more than a month, and you have never entered the court, and you are ashamed to say that you can do things that the three princes and six departments are powerless, should you say that you are conceited or ignorant?

Xu Ming and Xie Mo's faces changed a few times, obviously they also felt that Zhao Xian was too arrogant, but there was also a little bit of trust in it, if Zhao Xian could really deal with this matter without being in harmony, even if they lost a little face, it was nothing compared to the dignity of the country.

Old Man An had a strange look in his eyes, and he stroked his beard and looked Zhao Xian up and down, which roughly meant: "You laugh at the incompetence of civil and military officials, why do you bring me with you?" But he has a little gratification, if he doesn't have this body of blood and courage, how can he be a general who commands a country's soldiers and horses?

Emperor Jianshi sat on the dragon chair, his eyes flashed with a little surprise, with Zhao Xian's words, he was not good at mentioning the matter of harmony, hesitated for a moment and swept his gaze to Prime Minister Xu Min, and asked: "Xu Qing, this matter... What do you think? ”

Xu Ming's beard was pale, his expression was introverted and scheming, he thought about it a little, thinking of the conflict between Zhao Xian and the Dongying envoy in the Cultural Hall last time, maybe he really had a way to persuade the Dongying envoy, but in that case, Zhao Xian's prestige would instantly reach the top, like the sky, and it was possible to overshadow the elders of the three princes and six departments, which was quite unfavorable to the current situation of the imperial court, after all, the more prosperous the An family was, the greater the pressure on other parties.

However, the open and secret struggle between officials is an internal matter after all, and now Dongying has forced Daliang to this, Xu Ming's face as the prime minister is also gloomy, and after a little weighing, he bowed down and said: "The minister reconsiders, since Zhao Xian has a way to persuade Dongying, let him give it a try." ”

"Reconsideration." The prime minister said so, and all the officials naturally agreed, but most of their eyes were skeptical.

When the morning dynasty dispersed, Zhao Xian sat in the carriage with Old Man An, and the hot tea on both sides in front of him rose hot, and the air was filled with the smell of incense.

Old Man An frowned, and the jade wrench tapped lightly on the table in front of him, and said puzzledly: "Xian'er, how do you plan to discuss this matter with Dongying?" ”

Zhao Xian thought about it slightly, at present, he can only use Sister Su's method to deal with Dongying, but he can't give them flintlock pistols and rifling methods, these things fall into the hands of Dongying, and the Northern Qi Dynasty will suffer a catastrophe, and the people in the coastal area are afraid that they will never have peace.

The flintlock pistol can't be given, and other things are not weighty enough, Zhao Xian wants to make a few cross-era products such as 'Ah Ka Four-seven, Three-Eight Big Cover' to them, although the craftsmen of this era can't make real things, but weaving a model is more than enough, with Zhao Xian's eloquence of 'convincing people with virtue', it should be able to fool Dongying in the past.

However, Dongying can't be all fools, a few models that can't shoot bullets only exist in theory, and it is obviously impossible to eliminate the idea of deceiving them, and they must prepare something that can be made and weighty enough, and will not affect the safety of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so as to completely solve the trouble of Dongying.

As for why he should consider Northern Qi, it is because Zhao Xian does not have the Liang of Northern Qi in his heart, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, if he is bullied by foreigners because he provides technology, he will not even be able to sleep well.

Zhao Xian thought for a moment, and then said: "There is a way, but you need the help of craftsmen in the army to prepare something." ‘

"Oh?!" Old Man An was curious, but when he saw that Zhao Xian was unfathomable and didn't want to say more, he didn't ask again, nodded and said: "I will pass the order, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Division are at your disposal, if you can really do this well, it will be of great benefit to you, and you must take advantage of this opportunity."
