Chapter 271: 'Be Honest'
"We have a saying in the Great Song Dynasty called 'good dogs don't get in the way', if King Qin still says that, please get out of the way, we are going to go out!" Zhao Ta looked at Ye Luding, who was anxious and white-faced, and said with a smile.
"You dare to insult this king?" Jerodin stepped forward and shouted.
"Oh, I scolded you, King Qin, there are so many people in the tent, who heard it?" Zhao Ta looked at the people in the tent with an innocent look and said, "No, no one heard it!" What's wrong with people these days, there are people who pick up gold, silver, and scolding, it's really a bad thing! He said as he walked out of his stride, bypassing Jerodin.
Listening to the suppressed laughter in the tent, Yeluding's face turned the color of pig liver, where did he suffer from this kind of, "This son is too deceitful, I will kill you!" ”
"Lord Wang, you have to be careful, this kid is crazy!" Cai You was startled when he heard the roar in the tent, and hurriedly followed Zhao Ta and said.
"Hehe, Scholar Cai, when I was in the countryside, I often heard the people say, 'The dog that bites doesn't bark, and the dog that doesn't bark will bite', don't look at his barking, but he doesn't have the guts!" Zhao Tan smiled...
"Prince Yan, I got some new tea, but I don't know the advantages and disadvantages, can I be interested in tasting it?" Brother Cha appeared at the right time, stopped Zhao Ta, who was out of the tent, and invited him to drink tea in his bedchamber.
"King Jin's arrangement is so quiet!" Zhao Ta followed Brother Cha into the account, and its layout was based on the Song style, and he praised it
"It's just a cat and a tiger, let King Yan smile!" Brother Cha invited Zhao Ta to sit on the soft couch, and then ordered someone to serve tea.
"Huh..."Zhao Ta took a sip of the authentic taste of tea. Suddenly, I heard a cry from beside me. He looked back suddenly, but it was the maid who made the tea, and the second baby who was accompanying him immediately stepped forward to block in front of the prince.
"I don't know what is rude about this king, startling the girl?" I saw that the maid was tall and curvaceous, although the maid was dressed up, it was difficult to hide her rhyme, but she couldn't see her face clearly under the light veil, he saw that there was nothing wrong with her body, and waved her hand to let the second baby retreat and asked in wonder.
"All I want is you and me... My prince is an enemy on the battlefield, and you will not dare to drink his tea! When the maid saw Zhao Ta asking, she was not alarmed. said it tactfully, it was actually the official language of the Song Dynasty.
"Hehe, although you and I are fighting each other on the battlefield, each is its own master. How can you fight for your country? The so-called heroes cherish each other, the hero of the King of Jin is a downright person, how can this kind of villain's means, why am I afraid? Zhao Ta thought this maid was very interesting, and replied with a smile.
"I really don't understand you people, you were arguing just now, killing you to death, and in the blink of an eye, you can sit together without jealousy and talk and laugh!" The maid shook her head and sighed softly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect King Jin's tea to be good. Even the people who make tea are so funny! Zhao Ta took another sip and smiled at Brother Cha.
The subordinate was rude, which made King Yan laugh. Hinata, the tea is ready, you go down! Brother Cha glanced at the maid and said, "But this tea is a general tea from Dali, although it is not as good as the prince's 'Shengxue', but it is also the best in tea, which is quite rare!" ”
"Lord Jin, it's not just about tasting tea when you invite me into your account!" Zhao Ta looked at the maid who was making tea and seemed displeased, and said as he played with the teacup in his hand.
"Prince Yan has always refused to give in to the matter of land cutting. I don't know what it means? Brother Cha and Zhao Ta have talked many times, and they no longer detour around each other, nor do they speak outright.
"This is for the good of King Jin, so as not to fall into the rabbit and die and the dog cook!" Zhao said.
"What, for my good?" Brother Cha was confused by Zhao Ta and asked in surprise.
"If the two countries sign a peace agreement. The soldiers retreated to Lingzhou, so I don't know you, the deputy envoy for peace talks. Is there any use for Xingzhou Metropolitan Unity? Zhao Ta asked rhetorically.
"It's... How could my Lord have done such a thing with me? Brother Cha hesitated and said. …,
"King Jin don't deceive himself, I understand your thoughts, King Shu is a hundred times different from you in terms of qualifications, merits, and talents, why did he entrust him as a chief envoy, but let you, the deputy envoy, manipulate behind the scenes, so no matter whether you succeed or not, you have no merit, and you can't afford to lose any benefits!" Zhao Ta said, "If Song withdraws from Lingzhou, and the threat has been resolved, how can you, the imperial brother, be in charge of the Gyeonggi garrison, and the Prince of Jin, who has no military power, is still the current Prince of Jin?" ”
"King Yan is polite, I'm afraid that if you don't quit Lingzhou, once the peace agreement is signed, I will also be disarmed and return to the field, and it will not be of any benefit to me!" Chakor Road.
"Otherwise, the king of Jin is a person who is proficient in the art of war, and it is impossible not to have anticipation of the future, if you give up Xingzhou, your lord can only move the capital to Liangzhou, I am afraid that your Chinese military officials have long been deeply rooted in Xingzhou, and they will definitely resent, thinking that he is cowardly and incompetent, and is a mediocre lord, and it is logical to re-establish a new lord, and at that time you can still dominate the Western Regions by occupying Western Liang." If you still live in Xingzhou and face each other across the river, you must arrange heavy troops to defend, at this moment there is no supreme general in your country, even if your imperial brother is jealous, you have to use the King of Jin, you can also be your minister, as for whether you can achieve your wishes, it depends on the ability of the King of Jin! Zhao Tan said.
"If Xingqing is ceded, there is no more anointed land in Hexi, and the land is narrow and the people are poor, how can you dominate the Western Regions?" Examine? > reeling ⊥ feedback? p>
"Although the Xia army is newly defeated, it is still a strong army, and the Tibetans and Uighurs occupy a large area of fertile land and pastures, but their troops are weak, as long as they develop westward, how can they not do anything!" Zhao Ta knew that Brother Cha was thinking, he didn't want to be the second-in-command anymore, and he was bent on looking for opportunities to take the position, so he increased his sense of crisis while depicting a good prospect for him.
"King Yan helps me like this, I'm afraid he also has a plan, right?" Brother Cha was told by Zhao Ta, and his old face turned red.
"Yes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, the lesson of King Jin on the bank of the Mingtang River is that if I return to Beijing, the end will be as you said, if there are police at the border from time to time, I can stay here and be a companion to King Jin, so as to maintain the agreement between us!" Zhao Ta also did not shy away from saying frankly, he knew that Brother Lu Dao Cha was afraid of being tossed by himself, and he was already wary of him, so he simply admitted his purpose, true and false, false and real, so that he couldn't figure it out.
"Then Prince Yan has no heart to compete for succession, and is willing to settle down in the northwest!" Brother Cha was really suspicious, and said tentatively.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of King Jin's jokes, I don't have power, I only like money and freedom, you don't know what kind of life Lu Dao has lived in Beijing, we princes have lived, I am kept in captivity in the city every day, I have to report to Zongzheng when I go out of the city, and I have to go to court every day, but I can only accompany him without saying a word, and I am suffocated to death. Although the emperor treats everyone well, but the little money and rewards are only enough to make ends meet, I have an imperial uncle who has married more than ten wives, not for anything else, just to have more children, and then give a knighthood to receive some money to subsidize the family! Zhao Ta smiled bitterly, "Don't look at me as a prince, but my family background is less than one percent of Cai You and Tong Guan, and Cai You's father has a meal alone, which is enough for a month's expenses in my house." Looking at the people again, although Wang Huang is just a 'duke', but his country's mansion is big and beautiful, to put it mildly, even your Xingqing Palace City may not have their family luxury, now I don't take advantage of the emperor's favor to come out and get more money, in the future, the emperor's brother will ascend the throne, where is there a chance! ”
"Now there is a chance to make a fortune, King Yan is interested!" Brother Cha listened to Zhao Ta's complaints, and knew that he was right, but he was a little disdainful of his ideal of holding a strong army but only making a small fortune, but he could use it, and he leaned forward and whispered. …,
"Oh, Prince Jin tell me about it!" Zhao Ta's eyes lit up, and he also leaned over and said.
"As long as Prince Yan can move your emperor and promise the condition that 'Xia State will not cede Xingzhou, and the two countries will be bounded by the Yellow River', he will be able to make a fortune, which is much faster than making money from a small fight like you!" Brother Cha whispered.
"It's... This thing is too big, and the risk is also great, if it is known to outsiders, I will not only eat it, but also vomit it, and even take back the gold book! Zhao Ta smacked his lips and shook his head.
"Prince Yan is also a soldier who knows the army, to tell the truth, with the military strength you have at this time, even if you go all out to capture Xingzhou, I am afraid it will be lost by more than half, as far as I know, the strongest combat effectiveness of the Hedong Army is the prince's own army, which is your capital to save your life. Moreover, even if you occupy Xingqing Mansion, your baggage and military resources need to rely on Henan, and it will be difficult to transport across the Yellow River, and you will not be able to hold on to it at all, but you occupy Lingzhou and Xia across the river, and threaten me from time to time Gyeonggi, we will inevitably use troops to recapture it, so won't you fulfill Prince Yan's wish? Brother Cha saw Zhao Tan's eyes flickering, and knew that he was tempting, "And even if you occupy Xingqing Mansion, your emperor will also seal you a Xia King and let you divide Hedong, and the proceeds of the captivity will also go to the national government, and all the coins will be returned to the inner treasury, what can you get, or nothing!" ”
"Well, King Jin is right, but I don't know what price you are willing to pay?" Zhao Ta looked like he had gotten into the money eye, and leaned over to Brother Cha's side, and the two were less than a foot apart.
"Fifty thousand taels of gold!" Brother Cha stretched out his hand and shook it.
"Well, quite a few!" Zhao Ta nodded, the teacup in his hand hit the low table heavily, and the teacup shattered into several pieces under the heavy knock, "But I'm just afraid that there will be no life flower!" He hugged Brother Cha and put a bowl of ballast against his throat and said in a muffled voice, although the second baby standing at the door didn't know what was going on, seeing that the prince was violent and restrained Brother Cha, he also pulled out a pistol and aimed it at him.
"Prince Yan, why is that?" Suddenly, Brother Cha didn't have time to react, he had already been tricked, he said in a low voice, he was not confused at the moment, as long as he dared to call the guards, this kid would dare to kill himself first.
"Hmph, this king treats you sincerely, but you are secretly ambushing the killer and trying to take my life!" Zhao Ta said in a deep voice hatefully. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
