Chapter 407: One-sided negotiations

Luo Yunshuang sneered, "There is really a son of Lao Helian, but thanks to your emperor's blessing, this princess can't die!" ”

"You!" Helian Mingzhao didn't expect her to be so ignorant, and he was slightly angry in his heart, but thinking of his intentions, he had to put up with her for the time being, "Princess Phoenix really likes to joke, the emperor and the regent are very concerned about the condition of Her Royal Highness the princess, and all the affairs of the Khan and the princess in the capital are all taken care of by the official, if the two of you have any needs, talk to the official as soon as possible, you don't have to be polite." The regent specially instructed the lower officials, especially the princess, to take care of the princess's condition, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Luo Yunshuang's heart moved, Helian Mingzhao was the person who left Dugu Ye, but how could he say in his words that he was here on behalf of Dugu Ye?

Snorted coldly, Luo Yunshuang said indifferently, "Thank you Lord Regent for your concern, as long as you Central Plains people don't come to trouble and find trouble with this princess, this princess will naturally not have any problems." As for you, you're as annoying as the rest of the Central Plains! This princess is not welcome, if there is nothing else, please go back, don't spoil the mood of this princess! ”

"Don't be too arrogant!" Helian Mingzhao knew that he should not be able to sink it, and he couldn't mistake the right thing in order to fight with this woman for a while. But this woman is too arrogant! I don't take him, the representative of the court, in my eyes at all!

Anyway, it is the Qilan grassland that needs grain and grass, even if Kamulon loves his sister again, he will not let her mess around too much, once he really annoys the court, he will not give them food and grass for the winter, Kamulon will never gamble with the lives of the grassland people!

So why should he put up with her?

He gritted his teeth with a calm face and said, "Don't go too far, this is the capital, not in the Qilan grassland!" If you ask for someone, you have to have an attitude of begging for someone, don't you think it's too ridiculous to look arrogant like you and still want food and grass? ”

Not only Helian Mingzhao said this, but even Hector, who was standing behind her to escort, was secretly anxious, what happened to the princess, since she came to the capital, it was very wrong, completely different from when she was on the grassland, her attitude was arrogant, she spoke rudely, and even the emperor dared to contradict it!

The Lord Helian in front of him is obviously the one who can discuss grain and grass matters with them, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is not good at entertaining others, why did she fall in love with him again!

If you really offend this person, if the court refuses to give you grain and grass, how can hundreds of thousands of grassland people survive the winter!

Hector was anxious and wanted to go forward to apologize to Helian Mingzhao for the princess, but the Khan had orders that everything must be under the command of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he should not make his own decisions, and he didn't know why the Khan King trusted Her Royal Highness the princess so much, you know, now is the most important thing for food and grass!

Luo Yunshuang smiled lightly after listening to Helian Mingzhao's words, and there was no nervousness at all, her slender fingers tapped twice on the table casually, tilted her head and said, "Lord Helian is really well-informed, and even the purpose of our coming here is clear. ”

Helian Ming smiled disdainfully, "Do you think that if you don't say it, we won't be able to see your hole cards?" Her Royal Highness the Princess, don't bluff, the situation of the Qilan Grassland is very clear, if Her Royal Highness the Princess's attitude is better, we may be able to talk about this matter calmly......"

Hector was overjoyed in his heart, he also thought that Her Royal Highness the princess had offended Helian Mingzhao, and it was not easy to talk about this matter, but he didn't expect that he didn't mind the princess's attitude, and took the initiative to say that he wanted to talk, so it must not be difficult to get grain and grass, right?

Who knew that Luo Yunshuang actually shook his head, "Lord Helian is indeed well-informed, our Qilan grassland is indeed short of food and grass, but Lord Helian needs to figure out the most important point, we are not here to beg for help!" ”

Luo Yunshuang originally still had a lazy look, but when she said the last sentence, her expression suddenly became serious, which made Helian Mingzhao feel stunned.

The smile on his face fell, "What does this mean, Your Highness Princess?" ”

"That's what it means literally!" Luo Yunshuang leaned into the chair lazily again, "Since Lord Helian knows our intentions, presumably the imperial court has already investigated the natural disasters on the Qilan grassland for many years, and the people are already hungry, and since the Qilan grassland is under the rule of Qianlu, the emperor and the court will definitely not watch their people die of hunger, so it is natural for the imperial court to distribute grain and grass for disaster relief, and the princess's brother is just governing the grassland on behalf of the imperial court. Why do our brothers and sisters ask for bread and grass? ”

Helian Mingzhao's face turned pale when he heard this, he was too anxious just now, whoever said it first about the grain and grass would fall behind, why didn't he think of this layer? No wonder this steppe princess dared to be so arrogant in the capital, and Kamulon still indulged her like this, but it turned out that they had already thought of a rhetoric!

He also thought that this grassland princess was an arrogant person, but he didn't expect the other party to have such scheming! Her arrogance and arrogance are just pretending to confuse everyone, right?

Helian Mingzhao thought for a while and said, "Having said that, Her Royal Highness the princess also knows that after years of natural disasters, Baixin in the Qilan Grassland lives in hardship, and the people of the Central Plains are the same, and they need food relief everywhere......"

What if her reasoning made sense? In this world, who stipulates that what makes sense must be done? The grain and grass are in the hands of the imperial court, and of course the imperial court has the final say on whether to give it or not.

"That's why we need the treasury!" Luo Yunshuang said as a matter of course, "Since it is disaster relief, it is natural to use the grain and grass from the national treasury, which I know as a grassland woman, don't you understand, Lord Helian?" ”

Seeing that Luo Yunshuang deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, Helian Mingzhao simply said more clearly, "Naturally, the treasury is used, but the grain in the treasury is also paid by the people from all over the country. ”

"I understand when Lord Helian says this," Luo Yunshuang said with a cold face, "The imperial court doesn't care about the people of the grassland, but its strength is limited, and it wants to save the people of the Central Plains, so for the people of the grassland, there is nothing they can help, but this truth?" ”

Helian Mingzhao nodded, and said with a heavy face, "What the princess said is very true! ”

Even if it is natural for the court to give you grain and grass, you will never take away the grain and grass so easily, otherwise, what leverage do I have to negotiate with you?

Helian Mingzhao knew that once the phoenix said the soft words, today's matter would be completed!

"In that case, then I can only express my regret." Luo Yunshuang's face did not show the slightest panic, but with a faint regret, "Although the people of our Qilan Grassland love their country very much, they ......"

Luo Yunshuang paused, the smile on his face was a little hideous and cold, "A court that can't even guarantee the most basic survival of its own people, if it continues to be heartfelt, it can only be a dead end, I can't watch hundreds of thousands of people starve to death, I can only take them to find another way to live." Fortunately, the location of the Qilan grassland is not bad, Beirong to the north, Daning to the east, has sent people many times to express that they want to give us enough grain and grass for free, to ensure that the people of the grassland can spend this winter safely and worry-free, my brother originally counted on his own court, so he did not accept it, but I didn't expect this court to be unexpected. But our grassland sons and daughters have clear grievances, and we can't take such a big favor from others in vain, so it is not a wise move for us to simply choose a strong and powerful court to follow. ”

The smile on Song Mingzhao's face froze suddenly, he never thought that this woman would have such courage and would have the intention of rebellion!

He had to admit that what the other party said was right, the Qilan Grassland was originally the territory of the Daning Dynasty, and it was not impossible for Kamulon to really rejoin Daning, if it really came to that point, then the imperial court would really lose an absolutely powerful force!

He couldn't let that happen!

Helian Mingzhao smiled with difficulty, "Her Royal Highness the princess really likes to joke, this kind of rebellious words can not be said easily!" It's amazing to hear it! Qi Lan Grassland's sincerity to the imperial court, the imperial court is naturally clear, how can it be possible to watch the people of the grassland lack food and clothing to survive the winter? Although the grain and grass in the court are also very tight now, the princess can rest assured that the court will definitely find a way to solve this problem, so that all the people can have enough food and clothing to survive the winter! ”

Luo Yunshuang had a smile on her face, "This princess has always been quick to talk, what I just meant was that if the court abandons our grassland, it will be difficult to ensure that there will be people on the grassland who will rebel, but the court is so generous to our grassland, I believe that all the children of the grassland will be more heartfelt and grateful to the court!" ”

The corners of Helian Mingzhao's mouth twitched violently, but he still had to maintain a false smile on his face, "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is very true, the people of the grassland and the people of the Central Plains are also the people of the imperial court, how can the imperial court favor one over the other?" The princess can rest assured, when the king of Khan and the princess leave Beijing, the court will definitely prepare enough grain and grass for the two to bring back! ”

Luo Yunshuang said with a smile, "It's really a lot of Lord Helian, this princess originally thought that the people in the Central Plains were very cunning, but I didn't expect Lord Helian to be so good, it was really beyond the expectations of this princess!" ”

Helian Mingzhao's smile froze, he really couldn't tell whether this princess was praising or scolding him, but the only thing he was sure of was that when it came to cunning, he was not her opponent at all!

"For the sake of Her Royal Highness the princess and this official, the lower official has a reluctant request, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can do the lower official a small favor......

The problem of grain and grass has been solved, Helian Mingzhao no longer has any bargaining chips in his hands, and the matter of the alliance can only continue to be discussed.

Luo Yunshuang smiled secretly in her heart, it's finally here, this is today's topic!

She blinked her eyes pretending to be puzzled, "Lord Helian has such a good character, if there is anything you need, just ask, if Princess Ben can do it, she will definitely help!"

She said it boldly, but Helian Mingzhao did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, but continued to consider the words and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess also knows that the imperial court wants to maintain the stability of the country and give the people a more stable living environment, and many times it is necessary to use force to maintain the dignity of the country. ”

Although the words came out, Helian Mingzhao didn't have any confidence to make this princess agree, after all, he didn't have any chips in his hand, and he was completely "begging for someone".

Luo Yunshuang thought about it, did not agree or refuse, but asked lightly, "Our sons and daughters of the grassland are brave and good at fighting, and your soldiers in the Central Plains are not opponents at all, no wonder you have such a request." But I need to ask clearly, who do you mean by this? Is it you, or the court? Or is it someone? ”
