Chapter 469: Friendship between the two countries starts with me
"This one...... And this one...... This ......"
Facing Xiao Xie's signature smile, the Great Yue Emperor and the King of Annam, Li Weiyu, was already under great pressure, and when he saw this "Anglo-Vietnamese Covenant" again, his heartbeat was even more disordered, and his eyes were black.
The Holy Dao Emperor really had no intention of annexing Jiaozhi, which allowed him to stabilize his body and not fall to the ground. The clause in the covenant about the two countries sorting out the border is essentially to cut out more than ten counties, and it is just a loss of face for him, which was still given by the Holy Dao Emperor, and he didn't have it before, so he didn't care too much.
The British and Chinese can be allowed to buy and sell freely and open mines in the territory, and at the same time, the right to trade abroad is also handed over to the Yinghua "care".
"Think it's wrong? So let's change this one......"
Xiao Xie's smile remained unchanged, and he handed out another text, which, like the previous one, was not yet a formal covenant.
Li Weiyu breathed a sigh of relief, the conditions of the second text should be better than the first, he secretly said that although this young man had a bad smile on his face, which made people's hearts feel empty, he was not very oppressive, in fact, his bottom line was that Da Yue would not be annexed, and the conditions of the first text, he just thought that he should be too fast, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not continue to be squeezed.
Opening the second text, Li Weiyu only read a few lines, and his face had already changed, how could this be!? The second is to recognize Gao Ping's self-reliance and cede more than a dozen prefectures, including Lang Son, Quang Ninh, and Haiphong, which together exceed one-fifth of the territory of Jiaozhi that he, the Emperor of Da Yue, can actually control.
Seeing that Li Weiyu's eyes were already straight, Xiao Xie sighed: "Since you are still not satisfied, then let's change it again......
The third text was stuffed directly into Li Weiyu's hand, which was a simple piece of paper, with the words "Edict of Return to the Land and Abdication" written on the head.
Li Weiyu almost jumped up, snatched the first text in his hand, bowed deeply to Xiao Xie, and shouted in his mouth: "Thank you to the angel of the kingdom for supporting morality and making decisions for the little king of the vassal country!" ”
The old eunuch hurriedly pulled Li Weiyi over and bowed down together, and the child seemed a little reluctant.
Xiao Xie tilted his head and looked at Li Weiyu for a while, and Li Weiyu clenched the document tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that Xiao Xie would take it back.
I heard Xiao Xie say: "Your Highness, do you know that the third edict that you only need to stamp is a seal, but the unanimous resolution of my Yinghua court?" Annan is my homeland in China, and Yinghua is following the Zhengshuo of China, so how can we take back the inheritance left by our ancestors......"
Li Weiyu didn't dare to answer this, so he simply knocked his head unkempt.
Xiao Xie continued: "My emperor said that you Annan are like clansmen who have been divided for so long, and if you rush to pull you back, there will always be complaints, so this matter cannot be forced. Our emperor withstood the pressure of the Manchu court, and even refuted the blood letter of the general of the army, so that you Annan people can still live your own life, so Jia Dudu is very sad. ”
Li Weiyu was shocked in his heart, no wonder the young governor was full of unhappiness these days, he must have thought of taking back this country of Annam, so as to fulfill his great cause of expanding the territory.
Thinking about it like this, Li Weiyu felt that the Holy Dao Emperor was really a forgiving gentleman, no, a saint! He banged his head three times in a row, and said loudly: "My Emperor Shengming!" Long live our emperor! ”
Xiao Xie said again: "This second text is re-uploaded after the chapter of the court retracting Jiaozhi was rejected, and my emperor said, you must be given a choice by the Annan people, and you can't impose the will of my Celestial Empire on you, so I drafted this first text again." ”
He said in a low voice: "But as courtiers, we naturally want to make more contributions, so we brought these three copies together, if His Royal Highness willingly sacrificed his land and abdicated, or recognized the second text, my emperor will naturally not push you out, right......"
Li Weiyu had other understandings of this, and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly took two steps on his knees, and suddenly hugged Xiao Xie's legs: "Angels are really like Xiao Wang's living parents...... Angel but there is a need, Xiao Wang should not follow! ”
Xiao Xie shuddered, shook his knees and retreated, and asked again: "Just choose the first one!?" ”
Li Weiyu nodded, with tears in his eyes, and said firmly: "Just choose the first one...... No, no......"
Feeling that he had taken advantage of the boss, Li Weiyu said: "Haiphong Port and Halong Bay, the Celestial Empire can rent it for as long as it wants!" Well, ninety-nine years! As for Lang Son, in order to show that the country will never dare to offend the sincerity of the Celestial Empire again, the middle line of Lang Son City will be used as the national boundary! Xiao Xie smiled with satisfaction: "Your Highness has a heart, so I will add it to the text." Your Highness wants to thank you, and you should thank the emperor. My emperor said, my Celestial Dynasty is adjacent to you in the north and south of Annan, and I naturally hope that Annan can be smooth and harmonious. But Annan was usurped by the Zheng family before, which is really distressing. In order to help His Royal Highness clarify state affairs, Special Commission Gao Ping Mo assisted His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness...... What do you think? Li Weiyu was shocked again, he wanted Gao Ping Mo to enter the court, wasn't it Lord Zheng who went, Lord Gao came?
Xiao Xie sighed: "Your Highness, this is an expedient measure......"
He helped Li Weiyu up, muttered and bit his ears for a while, Li Weiyu's face gradually softened, and finally turned into joy.
In an emotional tone, Li Weiyu called again: "My Emperor Shengming!" ”
Of course, the Holy Dao Emperor Shengming actually wanted to help him raise the Confucian scholars and establish the imperial system, so that in the future, his Li family would no longer have to rely on the family name to be in charge of national affairs.
Xiao Xie said: "Yes, in order to help the naturalization of Annan's people, my emperor also sent Kong Sheng, and the scholar Kong Shangren came to Annan to give lectures. If so......"
He looked at Li Weiyi, who was blinking and completely incomprehensible to his father's emotional transformation, "If the prince has a heart, I can say Mr. Tongkong, and he will teach the prince." ”
Li Weiyu and Li Weiyi's father and son stopped breathing, their eyes widened, and it took a while to wake up, Li Weiyu asked with a trembling voice: "Mr. Kong, can you be my master!?" ”
Xiao Xie nodded solemnly, and the father and son burst into laughter at the same time.
After thanking Li Weiyu for his congratulations, Xiao Xie walked out of the palace with Wang Youdun, who was obviously dizzy with his eyes blurred and obviously dizzy. After taking a few breaths of fresh air, Wang Youdun asked: "Tongshi, according to the way our general affairs hall acts, we should first light up the third document, and then step back step by step, right?" Fortunately, the king of Annan was afraid of my heavenly power and took it all. What if he is resolute and sees that the first text is our bottom line, and he has to bargain over the terms? ”
Xiao Xie glanced at Wang Youdun, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I said that you were not suitable at the beginning, but you are resolute and have to enter this industry." You, it's right to act in our general office, but you also have to use it on different occasions! ”
He stepped on his feet and sneered: "This is Annan, not Nanyang Zhuyi, let alone Western Zhuyi." We are not reciprocal negotiations with Annan. When I do this, I set a rule for them, and whatever I Yinghua says in the future, they will do it, and there is no room for bargaining! ”
Then he asked, "I really don't understand, why are you, a Confucian, interested in this intrigue?" ”
Wang Youdun smiled shyly: "My subordinate has been familiar with the Warring States Policy since he was a child, and he felt that the things that those Zongheng families did in ancient times were the ultimate in life......
Xiao Xie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "That's right, that's right, our general hall has an ancestor, Zhang Yi and Su Qin, who are my generation model!" ”
The two were about to go out of the gate, when a eunuch came over and said respectfully: "The emperor ...... The king instructed the villain to report to the angel of the kingdom, and in order to express his gratitude, the king gave the angel a slight gift and gave it to the angel's mansion. ”
Xiao Xie nodded casually, indicating that he heard it, but when he returned to their Shenglong Tongshi Mansion, he looked at several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and a dozen or so beautiful girls kneeling on the ground.
"This ...... It's not ......."
Wang Youdun's tongue was trembling, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had just completed the rectification recently, and it was clear what was the public department, what was the trial division, and what was the Kaude Division. You are incompetent in your official affairs, whether you are corrupt, whether there is anything out of line in your private business, those royal histories are all divided. If the previous imperial history was a group of dogs, swarming when they smelled shit, the current imperial history has become a group of wolves, biting throats, holding legs, gnawing buttocks, a bunch of piles, each doing its own thing, extremely professional.
If you really want to accept these belongings and women, Wang Youdun can already predict his fate, and besides, his interest is in his career, money, he is a sixth-grade officer, and his bottom is not high, but he can have this kind of external errand, the allowance is high, and there are thousands of children and eight hundred in a year, and it is enough to eat and wear extravagantly, so naturally there is no need to make trouble in this matter.
Xiao Xie said: "Why don't you accept it?" Take it! An Niangniang withdrew from the general office, and the budget of our general office was very tight, and these belongings were returned to the special expenses of the general office, and the expenses were separately listed, and it was just reported to the accounting department. Although Xiao Xie only has the title of Vietnam General Secretary, in fact, the entire General Office is under his control, I heard that it was included in the small treasury of the General Office, Wang Youdun breathed a sigh of relief, but look at those girls again, he is in trouble again, can the small treasury still save people?
Xiao Xie rolled his eyes: "Get together with the gifts presented to the official family by King Annan, and let the official family have a headache." Since we want to talk about friendship between the two countries, we can't hurt people's good intentions. ”
On the streets of Shenglong Mansion, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Jia Hao was surrounded by guards, and was galloping towards the Little Forbidden City, he was also having a headache for the big gift sent by Li Weiyu, gold, silver and jewelry are easy to handle, just count them into the war, but what about those dozens of girls!? Dozens! Where did the people of Annam get so many beautiful women who are as weak as water!?
In his distraught, the horse's speed was much faster, and he didn't react until the passers-by around him exclaimed.
The Celestial Empire was the governor of the galloping horse, and the Annan people of Thang Long Mansion naturally did not dare to speak out, and even the officials and errands honestly shrank on the side of the street. Most of them still had admiration and awe on their faces, wanting to see the demeanor of this great man who led the army at a young age. But not far ahead, two small figures stood in the middle of the street, as if they had been frightened stupidly, and their feet did not move.
Seeing that he was about to bump into the two villains, Jia Hao couldn't care about his equestrian skills, so he reined in the horse's head, the mount neighed, and stopped at an oblique charge, Jia Hao was also thrown off the horse, and the street exclaimed again, and the sound was several times louder than before.
"Governor!?"
The guards turned pale with fright, and they all stopped their horses and ran towards Jia Hao.
"I'm fine...... It's okay......"
Jia Hao was also beaten, Yan Sanniang specially taught them how to protect themselves in the roll, but the arm touched the ground too hard, and it was estimated that they were dislocated, so just go back to the military doctor to figure it out.
