813 unimaginably hard
When Ying Wu's urgent secret letter was delivered to Xijing City, Song Jue was receiving the messenger sent by Yan Ping in the Taichong Palace.
The purpose of the messenger is still to ask for help, Wan Yanping learned to be smart this time, and did not deliver a distress letter to the emperor like the previous times, but sent his closest escort as a messenger to Xijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia, and personally explained his request to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia.
In order to express her sincerity, Wan Yanping even asked the messenger to bring a gift list, she told the messenger that once Da Xia agreed to her request, then, this gift list is a reward for Da Xia, if Da Xia has other requirements, as long as it is not particularly excessive, it should all come down. Even if the other party asks for a few cities, there is no problem.
Wan Yanping thought very well, after this turmoil, Jin, Xia, and Liao all have to recuperate, but maybe one day, the war between the three kingdoms will restart, and the city ceded to Daxia may return to their Jin country one day, and even let Daxia and Liao compensate them a few. Therefore, it doesn't matter much to endure the humiliation for a while.
The messenger fully understood what Wan Yan Ping meant, and with Wan Yan Ping's entrustment and expectations, after several twists and turns, he quietly arrived in Xijing, found the envoy of Daxia resident in Xijing, and conveyed part of Wan Yan Ping's meaning to the envoy.
Although the envoy was helpless, because it was Wan Yanping's request, he couldn't say anything, so he could only do his best to successfully bring the messenger into the palace and introduce it to Song Jue.
After seeing Song Jue in the Taichong Hall and explaining his intentions, the envoy hurriedly retired to Song Jue, for fear that if he stayed for a while, his life would be lost, and the next moment he would be angry, and he would push out the palace with the messenger to ask for beheading.
Running out of the palace and walking to a relatively safe place, the envoy looked back and sighed softly.
After living in Xijing for a long time, away from the strange circle of Yiqing Mansion, the whole person has become extremely sober, able to understand people and things that I couldn't understand before, and can figure out problems that I couldn't figure out before.
Great Xia ...... In other words, Song Jue himself and the ministers around him have a clear dislike and hatred for Wan Yanping, although the envoy does not know where this disgust and hatred comes from, but his intuition tells him that nine times out of ten it has a great deal to do with the case of the Marquis of Wuding many years ago. How sensational that case was in Xijing, he still remembers it vividly, what kind of role Wan Yanping played in that case, although he is not in Yiqing Mansion, but from the letters of friends, it can be more or less deduced.
There is such a deep hatred and hatred between each other, Wan Yanping is still delusional, and wants Daxia to lend a hand to help her defeat those rebellious nobles, it is really too whimsical, the Song family, the Xue family, and the Shen family are already kind to others if they don't fall into the well at this time.
The envoy turned around and shook his head helplessly, the messenger asked for more blessings, although the two countries were at war and did not kill the envoys, but the people around Wan Yanping had a temperament more or less similar to her, in case it angered Song Jue, then don't blame others for making a dead hand, so that this noble messenger will have no return.
But the envoy never thought that when he was compassionate and compassionate, there was a happy scene in the Taichong Palace.
"Sinner Ah Liang, I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
"Get up!"
Song Jue raised his hand towards Ah Liang, who was kneeling on the ground and saluting, and gently knocked on the table, and behind the screen of the throne, three people turned out.
Seeing these three people, Ah Liang hurriedly saluted again.
"My subordinates have seen the grandfather, the general, and the commander!"
Shen Cha walked up to Ah Liang, looked her up and down, and gently patted her shoulder.
"It's been hard work for so many years."
"Subordinates are not bitter, this is what subordinates should do." Ah Liang shook his head, took out a gift slip from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Shen Cha. "My subordinates entered Beijing this time, or the previous incident, Wan Yanping wanted to ask Daxia to send troops to help suppress the rebellious nobles."
"This is ......" Shen Cha opened it and looked at it, frowning slightly, "Is this our reward?" ”
"Remuneration?" Bai Meng curiously came over and took a look, and pouted in disgust, "This sincerity is not enough, if you want to buy us and give her her life, just ...... Are you willing to come up with such a little? Does she think too highly of herself, or does she look down on us too much? ”
"Archon, this is already the limit." Ah Liang sighed, "Wan Yan Ping's family background is actually not as evil as it is rumored outside, over the years, she has spent a lot of real money on raising soldiers, and the little good things that Wan Yan Zongcheng has scavenged have been spent by her, and it is not easy to keep these." However, before she came down, she also said that if Daxia wanted to put forward other conditions, as long as it was not particularly difficult, she could agree to come down. ”
"Not particularly difficult?" Shen Cha looked at the gift slip and sneered, "If I propose to let her cede the eighteen seats bordering Great Xia to Great Xia, she will also agree?" ”
"As long as it's not one hundred and thirty cities and counties around Yiqing Mansion, everything else is fine."
"Hey, it's a big deal, is this a bloody investment?" Song Jue looked at Ah Liang, then at Shen Haolin and the others, and then looked at Ah Liang, "You don't think that one day you can make a comeback, not only snatch these eighteen cities back, but also ask Daxia to lose thirty-six or even more, right?" ”
"Your Majesty is wise,"
"Wanyan Ping's heart is known to passers-by, not to mention us who have dealt with us for so many years!" Song Jue sneered, "How is the situation on her side?" They have already called for help, and it can be imagined that it is very difficult. ”
"It's very difficult, Your Majesty, Grandpa Guo, the general, and the commander are in Xijing, and I can't imagine what the current Yiqing Mansion is like." Seeing Song Jue let himself sit down, Ah Liang confessed and sat down in a proper manner, "The moment the criminal returned to Great Xia, he really felt what ice and fire were. The prosperity of Great Xia is in stark contrast to the Jin Kingdom at this moment. ”
"The floods, snowstorms, and plagues at the end of last year, and the current rebellion ......," Shen Haolin sighed softly, "The people of the Jin Kingdom are indeed living in dire straits, and those big nobles only care about fighting for power and profit, and don't care about the lives of ordinary people. ”
"As a result, not only are the lives of the common people very difficult now, but these big nobles are not much better." Ah Liang shook his head, "Yiqing Mansion has been besieging the city for a while, not to mention anything else, the lack of food supply is a very serious problem. If the current situation does not improve before the summer, and this confrontation does not end completely, we don't need to make a move, and those big nobles and Wan Yanping will be starved to death. ”
