Chapter 312: The Emperor's Decision (Middle) (Four Requests for a Monthly Pass.)
- "How much worse?" Yeluhongji asked.
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver." Yelu Chongyuan said: "We want 500,000, and they only give 200,000." ”
"Only give 200,000 taels, too little...... Yelu Hongji touched his chin that had just grown a black beard: "How much did the Qingli increase in coins back then?" ”
"It's also 200,000 taels." Yelu Chongyuan Dao.
"That's not a lot......" Yelu Hongji said, so that the ministers who were full of accounts almost all fell down.
"However, as far as we know, the bottom line given by the Southern Dynasty is 500,000 taels." Yelu Chongyuan frowned and said: "We want 500,000 taels, which is already very good for the Southern Dynasty, but those stunned boys are only willing to give 200,000 taels, otherwise they will roll up and leave, so they are frozen here." ”
"Why didn't they say yes?" Yelu Hongji said strangely: "Since the Southern Dynasty has promised 500,000 taels, why should it be stiff? ”
"I don't know......" Yelu Chongyuan shook his head.
"I know." At this time, Chen Ke and the others played a vital role in their extensive communication after coming to make a bowl. Someone actually helped them say it! And the weight of this person is not light at all - he is a friend of Yelu Chongyi, the king of Qi in Liao, and Chen Ke: "When I was playing polo the day before yesterday, I heard Master Chen say that when Qingli increased the currency, the rich minister was alone, and he talked about 200,000 taels. Now the three of them are coming, and they are a prince, a champion, and an old minister, the lineup is not the same, if you talk about 500,000 taels back, it is better to kill it. ”
"It turned out that I couldn't wipe my face......" is also a young man, and Yelu Hongji understands this mood very well. smiled: "Should the widow give him this face?" ”
"Bachelor Chen's literary fame is all over the world, he shouldn't be so embarrassed." King Qi said with a smile: "He will have a great future in the future, and we will give him this face, and there will be rewards in the future." "You Dao Qi Wang would speak like this for a golfer? He ate Chen Ke's bribe! Moreover, Chen Ke promised that in the future, when the Qi Wangfu should be bought as a treasure, he only needed to write a letter to the Four Seas Merchant to bypass the field and send it to the Liao State from the sea, and only charge him the cost price.
After all, the Liao State could not be compared with the Song Dynasty. What it lacks most is fine silk, small tea, famous kiln porcelain, and all kinds of treasures. You can only buy defective products in the field, and the good things of the Song Dynasty people are sold domestically. You can't buy it even if you have money. Even if you buy it, you will have to spend several times the amount of money.
Now Chen Ke not only sent him a batch of high-quality goods, but also promised to supply them openly. How could His Royal Highness King Qi spare a few spitting stars?
As soon as King Qi's words came out, they actually attracted echoes...... I don't know if they all took the benefits of Chen Ke, or if they had a good impression of Master Chen, it is estimated that the former is more likely...... Yelu Chongyuan was furious when he saw this, it was because of you group of waste dim sum that the old man's plan fell through, and he became the laughing stock of the Khitan! He coughed heavily and said, "Your Majesty, this is a contest between countries, 500,000 taels and 200,000 taels, absolutely different!" ”
Apparently. There are also many people who support Yelu Chongyuan, especially those who follow Yelu Hongji to hunt, they have no friendship with Chen Ke, so they naturally can't get used to these elbows turning outwards, so they also shouted loudly.
The Golden Dome King's tent was boiled when he was on board. The noise made Yelu Hongji frown. That's why he doesn't like to stay at home. The Khitan people were originally rude in etiquette, and most of those princes were his elders, so they didn't take him seriously. Basically, there are big quarrels and small quarrels every day. Whoever is the emperor is annoying!
Annoyed, Yelu Hongji slapped the case heavily and said, "Shut up!" ”
All the people were silent. Looking at their emperor.
"Is it good to have a little quality?" Yelu Hongji glanced at them, and said angrily: "Let the Song envoy hear the joke......
The people stopped talking, and they all looked at him, meaning, then you have an idea.
I'll take it, I'll take it! Yelu Hongji thought about it for a while, and said, "Didn't King Qi say that the Song envoy would bow down?" Let them play polo with the widows! If they win, they will come according to theirs, and if the widow wins, they will come according to ours. ”…,
"What a great idea, the best of both worlds!" Everyone was satisfied. For King Qi and those people, at least they gave Song Envoy a chance to succeed, and they could be regarded as having an explanation for Chen Ke, and winning or losing naturally had nothing to do with them. For Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor's court polo team, the invincible opponents of the Liao Kingdom, and the Southern Dynasty, which did not even produce horses, how could there be opponents?
Victory is already in the bag, and it doesn't matter if you give the Song people a step...... What, polo tiebreaker? When Lord Liao's will reached the protocol account, Zhao Zongji and Zhao Bian were dumbfounded: "Isn't this a pit person?" ”
But the lord of Liao is also the emperor, and as soon as Chrysostom opens, there is no reason to change it. Now the Liao people are against the army, which is not negotiable, if you don't agree, get out!
Who said that Yelu Hongji was a young man? This idea is to be ...... It not only gave the Song people face, but also did not affect the result, and he did not lose his dignity.
Glancing at Chen Ke, who was silent, Zhao Zongji said: "Can you compare?" It is said that the court polo team of the Liao lord has not met an opponent for many years. ”
"Could it be that the courtiers of the Liao State dare not win the emperor and pretend to fight with him?" Zhao Bian guessed the customs of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Dynasties.
"No, the Liao people are not our Han people, and it is undesirable to win the emperor." Although Zhao Zongji is a beginner, he still has some understanding of the polo world in Liao: "And they often use polo to deal with disputes, so there is no possibility of letting the emperor go." ”
"So, what a master?" Zhao Bian gasped.
"It's not just a master, it's a master of masters." Zhao Zongji said.
"Stop, stop, stop......" Chen Ke finally couldn't stand their noise, and complained loudly: "Aren't you growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige?" ”
"What we mean," Zhao Zongji looked at Chen Ke and said in a calm voice, "Give up." 500,000 is 500,000, it's a big deal......"
"Nonsense." Chen Ke stood up, shook his head, and said word by word: "Everyone has issued a war letter, how can I, Chen Zhongfang, avoid the war?" So saying, he went out of the tent.
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Zongji asked.
"Training ......"
"So, do you really want to compare?"
"Nonsense ......"
Chen Ke left without looking back.
In the big tent, Zhao Zongji looked at Zhao Bian and said, "I said that there is no need to provoke the law, right?" This guy has never been a turtle with a shrunken head. ”
"Young man, sharp!" Zhao Bian sighed and said, "It's too much to worry about old decay...... In the camp of the guards, Chen Ke gathered his nine main candidates, six alternate candidates, and fifteen team members and announced to them that there would be a polo match in three days.
The team members stood neatly and solemnly in a standard military posture, and no one asked questions.
"The opponent is the Liao Kingdom court team under the command of the Liao Lord." Chen Ke said again.
The players still didn't respond.
"This team is the strongest in Liao." Chen Ke thought about it for a while, and decided to tell them the truth, if he was not mentally prepared enough, he would definitely collapse at that time: "It can also be called the first in the world." ”
The faces of the team members finally showed excited expressions.
"What do you guys think?" Chen Ke looked at his designated team and said, "Chen Zhong, tell me about it?" ”
"Report to your lordship, defeat them, we are the best in the world!" Chen Zhong replied loudly: "The report is complete!" ”
"Hey......" Chen Ke couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think so too?" ”
The players are headed.
"What a bunch of ......" Chen Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Arrogant guy." Saying that, he said: "It is right to despise the opponent from a strategic point of view." But they must be tactically highly valued. After a pause, he said: "Tomorrow morning, they are going to play a practice match, and they will all go with me to observe, what is the best in the world!" Disband. ”
"Whoa!" The team saluted him in unison.
The next day, Chen Ke took his players to the stadium to observe the training of the Liao court team. The one who acted as a sparring partner on this day was the Qi Wangfu Polo Team that was inseparable from Chen Ke and them.
Before the ball game started, the venue was already crowded, although it was only a practice match, there were nearly 10,000 guards and spectators protecting safety. It's hard to get through inside and out. For the sake of visibility, someone stood on horseback, someone directly asked the servant to set up a ladder, and everyone was elated, like a grand event. …,
Thanks to Chen Ke, they came early to occupy the front row, and Chen Ke was invited to the car by King Qi to enjoy fresh fruit and wine while watching the game.
"It's a really popular game." Chen Ke smiled: "I've never seen so many people watching football." ”
"It's not us, it's the palace polo team that's popular." King Qi shook his head and said, "People always like winning generals, and any of their games will be full. After a pause, he looked at Chen Ke and said, "To be honest, I don't think you have any hope of winning." ”
"I don't know until I compare." Chen Ke laughed, but after the game, he couldn't laugh.
The opponent is too strong!
In the entire first paragraph, with a stick of incense, the team of Qi Wangfu was stunned that they touched the ball no more than ten times, and the score had become three to zero. I saw that as soon as the ball arrived under the staff of the palace team members, they became extremely obedient, whether it was controlling the ball or passing long and short passes, they could do whatever they wanted, and they were obviously a step ahead of their opponents.
And they cooperate with each other very tacitly, the transmission is very smooth, and there are few mistakes. Even their mounts seem to be quicker, and all things being equal, it's always the court team that gets the first touch.
Although he only watched one section, Chen Ke's face was as grim as iron, and he even regretted it a little and took the players to watch this game...... Partition...... The fourth watch, the fourth watch asks for a monthly pass!! (To be continued) RQ
