Chapter 266: Seeking Common Ground While Reserving Differences
"You don't have to worry, this kid is here for the king, I don't think he will attack a few people, otherwise what else will they talk about!" Zhao Ta saw that Cai You's face changed several times, and he looked frightened, and hurriedly comforted him.
"Prince Yan, be careful, you have a mistake, and we can't explain it to the saint." Cai You listened, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with concern, but he was still uneasy in his heart, this knife and gun had no eyes, maybe he would have injured someone by mistake, but he also knew that the reason why Lu Dao Xixia was begging for peace was not the Tong Taiwei beside him, but the Prince Yan over there, if he really had three longs and two shorts, the Xia army might cross the river and counterattack the next day.
"Nothing, there are more people who want to kill this king, and they don't care about one more aggressiveness, let's continue drinking!" Zhao Tan said with a smile, raising a glass to invite everyone to drink together. A reception wine was drunk from noon until it was getting dark, and everyone no longer talked about those troublesome things, but only some interesting things.
Banquet, Zhao Ta sent the two out, "Lao Cai, how is your horse?" He suddenly saw that Cai You's entourage could have brought over a mount that could be said to be reasonable if it was in the mainland, but if it was in the northwest, it could only be said to be a horse, and the horses he guarded were also of mixed colors, all colors.
"Alas, let the prince laugh!" Cai You's old face flushed, and he glanced at Tong Guan's horse, his own obviously half a head shorter, not to mention, but also showed no spirit, and said curtly.
"Go, go to our stable and choose a hundred white horses, bring this king's 'chasing snow', and give them to Lao Cai!" Zhao Ta seemed to have drunk too much, and shouted staggeringly to see Xi, and the bachelor in his mouth also became Lao Cai.
"Lord Wang, this...."Cai You still wanted to excuse himself, worried about what tricks were there here.
"Lao Cai, this king blackmailed dozens of horses from you back then, and now these horses are considered to be paid to you!" Zhao Ta put his arm around Cai You's shoulders, put his mouth to Cai You's ear and whispered: "These horses are also from Western Xia, and now they are afraid of it, as long as I sound the cannon, it will be ten thousand taels of gold, you don't want it in vain!" ”
"Huh. Even so, I will be disrespectful, but I have to thank the prince a lot! Cai You said with a smile.
"Lao Cai. Back then, I invited you to collect some tolls at the gate of the palace city, but you were timid and refused, and now I am guarding the gate of Xixia to find them what to give and what to give, how about it. Playing together? Seeing that Cai You agreed, Zhao Tayou said.
"The prince is getting bigger and bigger, but I don't dare!" Cai Youqiang said with a smile, but thought in his heart that this Prince Yan was a robber. Then dare to scoop a knife and rob the road to collect money, and now lead people to Xixia to block the door to ask for money, I don't know how to do it, I really think it is loyal and patriotic!
"Lao Cai, don't call the prince and the prince, I have a very close relationship with the third child of your family, and it is okay for you and me to be commensurate with each other!" Zhao Ta let go of him angrily and said, "I see that brother, you are too honest, do you know how much Lu Dao Xixia gave to Wang Huang and Lao Tong." I'll make these horses compare with them. It's a horse's tail hair! He said indignantly.
"Why, they all took so much?" Cai You wiped the saliva on his face and said with a glare.
"Of course, I've seen all the gift lists, so we can't be stupid, take the opportunity to knock on the bamboo poles of the Xixia people, and there will be no such shop in this village after that. Otherwise, what will I do if I lead my troops from east to west? I am the prince, and the official has come to an end. I can only get some private money. Zhao Tan burped and was unsteady on his feet. almost fell, Cai You hurriedly helped him.
"Oh..."Cai You looked at Tong Guan, who was still talking to everyone, and there was already a trace of resentment in his eyes, this old boy only cares about eating by himself, and Wang Hao is not a fucking good thing, he refuses to give me a little breath, but let me come out and release water in the peace talks, which is really a good calculation.
"Lao Cai, get on the horse!" Just as Cai You was stunned, seeing Xi leading a white horse, Zhao Ta tugged on his sleeve and said. …,
"Good horse!" Cai You didn't say anything, Tong Guan shouted first, he scooped the lantern and took a careful look, this horse is snow-white, you can't see a single miscellaneous hair, the shoulders and ears are high, the rabbit head is round ears, the chest is broad and the waist is thin, and the limbs are slender.
"Yes, the prince bothered!" Cai You didn't understand horses, but when he saw that the horse was equipped with a gold saddle and silver stirrup, and the restraints were also inlaid with gold and silver, he knew that the price was expensive, and he bowed to the prince with a smile.
"Hehe, I actually like this horse too, but I like black, I don't like white, you old Cai is white, and your clothes are white, it's just right for you to ride!" Zhao Ta smiled politely.
"Ha Luha, the prince is just funny when he speaks, then thank you very much!" At this time, Cai You's guards also changed horses, he turned over on his horse, took the horse whip handed by his entourage, and smiled puns, indicating that he understood what he meant!
......
After sending Cai You and Tong Guan away, Zhao Ta returned to his room, and he didn't change his clothes or boots and lay on the soft couch.
"See, come here!" Zhao Ta drank a little too much today, his tongue curled, and he called him with a big tongue.
"Second master, I'm here!" Miki agreed and turned around.
"See, do you think I'm a good person or a bad person?" Zhao Ta turned over and looked at Jian Xi Dao with drunken eyes.
"Second master, of course you are a good person, did you hear any gossip?" Jianxi frowned, glanced at a few small yellow doorways in the room, and was so frightened that a few quickly lowered their heads.
"You're not telling the truth, you said I'm a bad person who cheats all day long, aren't you?" Zhao Ta said with a wry smile.
"Second master, there are some things you do that I don't understand, but I think what the prince does is a good thing for the country and the people, and those who cheat are bad people, those people don't cheat for nothing, and God won't agree if they don't cheat him!" Seeing Xi, he squatted down and gently pinched his head for the prince and said.
"Alas, you kid still has a conscience, and you don't know how to cheat good people!" Zhao Ta patted Xi's face and said.
"Second master, you gave Cai Da Fool a hundred horses today, I'm afraid you also want to get them back from him, right?" Seeing that Xi made everyone in the room retreat, he took off his boots with a smile and said.
"You kid has made progress, you can see a little way!" Zhao Ta moved his body to make himself lie more comfortable, "That Tong Guan and Cai You are a nest of snakes and rats, they entered the city at the same time and lived together, they made it clear to us that they were demonstrating and putting pressure on us, but they actually wanted to touch our bottom!" ”
"The second master already has a countermeasure?" Miki asked curiously.
"It's useful to see you, don't be too lazy, but also use your brains, how are those people selling?" Zhao said.
"I've already met with Shopkeeper Zhang, and I've discussed it, and now I'm starting to contact their family!" See the joy of the road.
"See, you must be careful in this matter, this is not only a matter of us making money to raise military spending, but also related to the future, the money must be made beautifully, and things must be done properly, not only to cooperate with this negotiation, but also to lay a good foundation for the future!" Zhao Ta whispered.
"Second master, are you setting up a big game, and it also has a deep meaning to send a horse to Cai You today, right?" Seeing that he was happy, he thought about it.
"Those who do not seek eternity since ancient times are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. "Since ancient times, those who do not consider long-term interests cannot plan for current problems; If we do not take into account the interests of the whole, we will not be able to plan local problems well. People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries, just like the famous saying of Fan University: Born in sorrow, and die in peace. ”
"Indeed, we must consider the situation in the long run, and we must consider the overall situation, otherwise, we will still suffer losses in the end!" Jianxi nodded, thinking about the things that the prince did in Xiangyi when he was a child, it seemed that it was out of tune, and it had nothing to do with him, but now that he thinks about it, not only is it related, but it is also of great use one by one. …,
"Why did the second master tell Cai You about our acceptance of gifts from Western Xia, aren't you afraid that he will tell the emperor? If the emperor knew about it, wouldn't it be bad for the second master! Jianxi asked again, he couldn't figure out why for this matter.
"Guan Zhong told Qi Huan public will before he died, saying that Gongzi Kaifang could not be used. Gong Qi Huan was very strange when he heard it, and said that Kaifang was originally the prince of Weiguo, and he let the prince not do it to serve me, what is wrong with such a person! Can you see it? Zhao Ta touched Jianxi's head and said with a smile.
"If the prince of a country goes to give him the current person, then he is either sick, or he must be thinking about the greater benefit of the King of Qi!" Seeing Xi said after a little thought.
"Well, got it? What the emperor is most afraid of is that he can't figure out what the minister wants, and if he doesn't figure out this illogical thing, can he eat and sleep soundly? You must know that a person who covets glory and wealth, gold and silver treasures, land and women, in his eyes, it is normal and belongs to the ranks that can be controlled. Do you think, I alone took tens of thousands of people to do what Tong Guan's hundreds of thousands of troops failed to do, and didn't let His Majesty know that I would make some money, and let him be suspicious of me all day long, how can I fight this battle?" Zhao Ta said, "Besides, it's not okay to let the emperor rest assured alone, he has to obey the public!" How many ministers in this court are not lay people who are not thinking about getting promoted all day long? You are honest and honest all day long, so who can stand it, this does not meet the needs of stability and unity, how can they do things with you!"
"The second master borrowed wine to go crazy, and told Tong Guan and Cai You about accepting bribes from Xixia, both of them are close ministers around the saint, and they are at odds with the second master, which will inevitably reach the ears of the saint. Now facing peace talks, the second master has to cooperate with the two of them in order to achieve his goal, so he does not hesitate to stain his name, showing that he and they are all like-minded people, but in fact, they are just seeking common ground while reserving differences! Jianxi said.
"Hehe, this is the way of conspiracy, the emperor's mental technique, you can figure out these things, and I will rest assured that you will do things in the future!" Zhao Ta said very happily, but Jianxi, who was obviously not drunk, blushed... (To be continued.)
