He Ziming suddenly said: "Yes, this is really suspicious!" ”

"So, nine times out of ten, this may be the intelligence point set up by the Turks in Beijing." Li Guanqi's eyes flashed with a cold light and said, "Playing Infernal Affairs with me? I've pulled you out of the roots! ”

He Ziming frowned, and asked again: "Since it is impossible for that Xiao Er to know that they are Turkic envoys, why did the emperor ask him so much when he entered the store?" ”

"That's because I've made this a major target of suspicion from the start." Li Guanqi looked at the continuous rain curtain and said, "Qiluo and his group are here, but they don't live in the Siyi Pavilion, so they have to stay in the guest house." And they are not familiar with the place, why can they find this ordinary inn in the middle of the city? ”

When He Ziming heard this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said admiringly: "The minister didn't expect the emperor to think so deeply. ”

Hearing He Ziming, a sincere man, praise the saint in person, Li Guanqi still felt very useful, smiled and said, "What is this? What I'm really happy about today is that the negotiations went very well. ”

He Ziming pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers. Although today's negotiations were relatively smooth, it seems that the terms are not favorable to us! ”

"Oh?" Li Guanqi became interested and said, "Talk about your opinion, why do you say that the terms are not good for me?" ”

He Ziming sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "We have a lot of resources and everything, and we don't need to buy anything from the Turks at all, but the Turks need a lot of our goods, if we don't restrict trade, isn't it equivalent to using our materials to fund the Turks?" ”

Li Guanqi nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for you to see this. It shows that you are really thinking hard, but you are only thinking about the surface, and you do not see the real impact behind the trade. Qiluo, they thought the same as you, so they readily agreed to my terms. However, in the future, things will make them regret that even their intestines will turn blue. ”

He Ziming frowned and said, "Minister...... I really don't understand. ”

Li Guanqi sighed and said, "First of all, you have to understand. If we do not take the initiative to negotiate peace, once we are really knocked in by the Turkic iron cavalry, then the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"But wasn't the emperor worried about the border crossing just now?" He Ziming asked suspiciously.

Li Guanqi said with a wry smile: "I am bluffing, in fact, I and they don't know whether the Turks can break through the barrier, but I take advantage of it, that is, I can wait, and the time they can wait is not much, because once the second snow falls on the grassland, they can only obediently return to the grassland and prepare for the winter." Therefore, in the stalemate between the two sides, I was able to hold out to the end. It was a risky move, but I made the right move. ”

Sighing, Li Guanqi continued: "Since we took the initiative to negotiate peace, we can end the war without ceding land and paying compensation, and we have actually taken advantage of enough." Then, through the conversation with Kira, I learned more information, so I was more confident and bold to put forward the two conditions that seemed to be more favorable to the Turks on the surface. ”

He Ziming quietly stuck out his tongue, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The minister's brain is really not enough, although he is standing next to him, he can't understand the intention of the words that the emperor and Qiluo Yehu said. ”

"You kid doesn't have to say it so nicely." Li Guanqi scolded with a smile and said, "You must have thought in your heart that I was looking for something to talk about at that time, and chatting with Qiluo, right?" ”

He Ziming said with a little grievance: "At that time, the emperor was indeed chatting about family ......"

"Fart." Li Guanqi said with a smile, "Every word I said at that time was carefully thought out, and every sentence was useful, you kid would actually think that I was really talking nonsense." However, Kira and the others probably thought the same way, so I was able to successfully get out all the important information I wanted to know. ”

"Important?" He Ziming was really shocked. Who gave Qiluo's name, and whether there are any brothers and sisters, these are actually important information in the eyes of the emperor? Does the emperor really want to take that man as a concubine? He Ziming shuddered that he would have such a crazy idea.

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "Not bad." Very important information. Let me ask you first, what do you think of the name Kira? ”

He Ziming had already begun to have a bitter face, and said helplessly: "It's very good!" ”

"Nothing but good sounds?" Li Guanqi said seductively.

"I really don't know what else to say." He Ziming said completely helplessly.

Li Guanqi shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the name Qiluo contains at least two important messages. First, it shows that the Turkic aristocracy has begun to slowly accept our Daqian culture, and the name Qiluo is more like the name of our Daqian girls, isn't it? ”

"Listening to the emperor say this, it's true! Why didn't the minister notice it before? He Ziming lamented his sluggishness.

"That's because you're not the emperor, so you don't have to worry so much, so naturally you don't need to think about things so much." Li Guanqi's body shook gently as the horses ran, and said comfortably: "As for the second point, it's even simpler." It shows that the Turks were particularly interested in our silk. Kira itself means cloth made of silk. ”

He Ziming's brows furrowed again, and he said, "The emperor understands this, but he doesn't understand. The Turks like our silk, so what? ”

"How?" Li Guanqi laughed and said, "With this alone, I can make the Turks cry until dawn." ”

Although Li Guanqi was happy and accidentally quoted a modern lyric, fortunately, this did not affect He Ziming's understanding, so He Ziming did not question the emperor's language, but continued to ask: "How does the emperor plan to use this to deal with the Turks?" ”

Li Guanqi said with a smile: "I have already dealt with them. They have agreed to my fair trade terms. Then in the future between the two sides, we will firmly occupy the upper hand. ”

He Ziming scratched his head and said: "The minister is ignorant, the variety and delicacy of our Daqian's items are far greater than those of the Turks, why do we take advantage?" ”

"It's because we have more useful things for them, so in fair trade, only they ask for our share, not us for them." A chill gradually rose in Li Guanqi's eyes, "Although we have a lot of things, the only ones that are actually really useful to the Turks are tea and salt. Other things such as silk and ceramics are not only not needed by them, but will weaken their will and reduce their combat effectiveness, but they like them very much. ”

After a short pause, Li Guanqi continued: "Since they want it, but they don't have it, then they are the role of asking for help, so the price is up to us." ”

"I see." Only then did He Ziming understand the deep meaning of Li Guanqi.
