191, one word - drag

When the Turks sent back those cultural calligraphy classics, the traitor Zhao Deyan came to Jingwen again, as if he wanted to discuss trade with him.

"Zhao Guoshi, what are you anxious about! I've come to Dingxiang, and I haven't been able to take a good look at it! I'm just going to take a tour, so that I can also get a good idea of your Turkic level of governance of the city! So, I want to see how the people here live happily. Jingwen said.

Zhao Deyan listened to Jingwen's words, and there were obviously bursts of ridicule in it, obviously mocking the Turks for not doing anything to govern the people at all. The county seat of Dingxiang here is obviously withering, but Jingwen said that he wants to see the happy life of the people here, isn't this a slap in the face?

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Zhao Deyan asked.

"Why should I be in a hurry? I finally went to the Turks, and I just happened to go sightseeing and enjoy life. I don't have to go back to Datang to see the stinky faces of those leaders, why should I go back in such a hurry? Jingwen asked rhetorically.

Zhao Deyan almost fainted, he had never seen such a diplomat. Other diplomats are trying to complete their tasks as quickly as possible, but Jingwen can actually delay it, but he is not in a hurry. And now the Turks are in a hurry, but Jingwen is still so unhurried, why don't you consider the feelings of the Turks?

"Aren't you afraid that your emperor will blame you?" Zhao Deyan asked.

But Jingwen replied: "The ancients will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Before I came to the Turks, the emperor had already granted me full powers, and I didn't want to talk about it anyway. Then I won't talk about it, can you still force me! ”

Zhao Deyan heard this. Immediately brushed his sleeves away. Jingwen is so annoying that he can say any nonsense. And if you don't want to talk about anything, you won't talk about it. Is this something that a diplomat should say? Therefore, Zhao Deyan really has no way.

"What a hob meat!" Zhao Deyan came out of the post house and said angrily.

As Jingwen's deputy, Zhao Boyan immediately said: "Jingwen Yushi, I'm afraid it's not good if we drag it like this!" Are we snubbing them by dragging it out like this? If they get angry, what do we do? ”

And Jing Wen said earnestly: "I said Lao Zhao, why haven't you grown so much!" You also need to see where we are now. We're actually at an advantage right now. We have too many things to see that the Turks need, but the Turks don't have anything we need, so what do you think we have to worry about? As long as we are not in a hurry, it is they who are in a hurry. I'm afraid they're all going to be on fire now, and the more we stay here, the more dangerous they will be. ”

"That Turkic Kedun is always on our heads, wishing we had some accident here. Once there is an accident, then the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will start. Now the Turks do not want war even more than we do. Otherwise, they will be out of luck. So, we are not in a hurry, if we die, countless Turks will definitely give us a burial. Jingwen said unhurriedly.

Zhao Boyan immediately said: "Then we can't have such an attitude!" ”

"We don't have that attitude. So what is our attitude? Do we want to negotiate with them by begging for nothing? If we rely on them for nothing, then we have to pay a lot. And if they die and beg for nothing, they rely on us. Then we can gain a lot of things. Now, we're going to have to hold our breath! If you can't hold your breath. Then I'm afraid that what will be lost is the interests of our Datang. Jingwen said.

Zhao Boyan complained in his heart: "Sure enough, he was born as a businessman, no wonder he opened his mouth and closed his mouth for interests." We are a big country. How can you be so interest-oriented? How can the diplomatic relations between the two countries be measured by interests? ”

Zhao Boyan scoffed at Jingwen's statement. Zhao Boyan is still a traditional literati, and he believes that his dealings with the state are separated from interests. Zhao Boyan believes that state-to-state exchanges cannot be so stingy and do not show any benefits at all. And the Central Plains Dynasty has always been very generous in this regard, so Zhao Boyan is still very dissatisfied with Jingwen's foreign policy.

But Jingwen is the main envoy after all, he is just Jingwen's deputy, where is the regular big seal in Jingwen! And even if Zhao Boyan reached an agreement, without Jingwen's signature, it would be useless. Therefore, although Zhao Boyan was very dissatisfied with Jingwen, he couldn't do anything with Jingwen.

Therefore, those Turks are staring at Jingwen, hoping that Jingwen can do his best to sign the agreement. This was a good thing for the Turks, who could get a lot of supplies from the Central Plains. Now the Turks can no longer go out to loot, so they can only give up the idea of being robbers and obtain things by trading with the Han people in the Central Plains.

Not long after, the Turks sent a very formal invitation, hoping that Jingwen would attend the so-called negotiation conference. I hope that Jingwen can do his best to negotiate so that an agreement can be reached as soon as possible.

If it was only Zhao Deyan who came to talk about it before, but now it is the Turks who have come to get the official documents, it is to be formally invited. This kind of invitation must give a real answer, otherwise I am afraid that it is simply disrespectful to foreign countries. And the Turks may have wanted to use guò as a means to force Jingwen to negotiate, so that an agreement could be reached earlier.

"Jingwen Yushi, this time the Turks are really here, and they sent an invitation, should we go?" Zhao Boyan asked.

"To what? We haven't had enough heat yet, what are we anxious about? Anyway, we have to delay, until the heat is enough, and then we can talk to the Turks. If we go and talk to the Turks now, I'm afraid how much we will lose our worth! Anyway, we're just procrastinating, what can they do? It's not surprising that he delayed for a month or two! Our current strategy is one word - drag! Jingwen said.

"But what do we do, don't we reply?" Zhao Boyan asked.

Jingwen said: "Let's just say that I am sick, I am not adapted, and the illness is not light!" ”

"......" Zhao Boyan had nothing to say.

It was really the first time for Zhao Boyan to see such a shameless person, who was able to speak so righteously without being sick. And Zhao Boyan didn't know that Jingwen had the courage to pretend to be sick in front of the emperor at that time, let alone in front of the Turks! Anyway, in front of the Turks, Jingwen is not afraid of any crime of bullying the king! That's why they pretend to be sick and pretend to be so righteous. (To be continued......)
