7. The Son of Heaven (1)

Any small country will be like this, feeling that their own land is a fertile treasure land, and everyone will salivate, this is a common disease, and Emperor Heide is no exception, Ruan Wenxiang thought for a while, "But if the Tian 1 Dynasty can't look down on here," Ruan Wenxiang sat in his place, folded his hands, and looked at Chen Wending indifferently, "Then how can we guarantee that the Tian 1 Dynasty is willing to fight with the French for our Ruan Dynasty?" ”

"Originally, I was worried about this," Chen Wending said, "but I got the news from Beijing, Ruan Shi," he lowered his voice, "and the Celestial Dynasty has protested with the French against the fact that the French are annexing in the name of signing a contract." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"This?" Ruan Wenxiang was slightly surprised, "But really? ”

"You can't go wrong."

"But how did the people of the Celestial Dynasty know that we had signed a contract with the French in Saigon?" Ruan Wenxiang stared at Chen Wending, "You must know that Your Majesty has asked us to keep it strictly secret. ”

"I leaked it to China," Chen Wending looked indifferent, admitting the fact of leaking secrets, "I am just a governor, I can't persuade Your Majesty, and I can't do a lot of folding, I think about it, I can only ask the Chinese to come out, if the Chinese can force the French to retreat, it would be the best, and I don't expect the heavens and the DPRK to send troops to rescue Vietnam, as long as the French are forced to retreat diplomatically, such an absurd and exquisite treaty will never be signed." ”

"The French arms merchant ship in the Red River was also asked by the Chinese to detain and burn it?" Ruan Wenxiang's eyes were fascinated, and he looked at Chen Wending with a complicated expression.

"No, it's my own idea, Ruan Shi, it's me who made my own opinion, the news of the Chinese and French negotiations came out in Beijing, I knew that the Chinese would help us out, so I used the excuse to detain the French merchant ships in Thang Long Province, I can't help the Chinese come forward, but we Vietnam itself has no action, Ruan Shi, I was summoned by His Majesty today, just to present this matter, the French are selfless and do not die, but Vietnam is weak and unable to resist, only by relying on the Tianwei of the Tiana Dynasty can it be possible to suppress the French, I think Master Ruan is by no means a cartilage person, signing this treaty, not only His Royal Highness, but also Master Ruan, will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, Qin Hui is a lesson from the past, Master Ruan! ”

Ruan Wenxiang stood up, turned his head to look at the weather outside the study, the sky was already dark, thunderstorms, and after a while, the downpour fell with a bang, "It's still the dry season, there is such a heavy rain," Ruan Wenxiang muttered to himself, he turned around, "Wending, I want to tell the truth, do you have a secret connection with the Chinese?" ”

"Yes." Chen Wending did not avoid Ruan Wenxiang's scrutinizing gaze, stood up, and replied firmly.

"So are you loyal to China or to Da Nan?" Ruan Wenxiang asked slowly word by word, and seemed to knock into Chen Wending's heart word by word.

"Born as a Great Southern person, died as a Great Southern ghost." Chen Wending's face was soft and his tone was very firm, and his low words were inexplicably reassuring.

"Good!" Nguyen Van Xiang nodded, "The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are basically anti-French factions, but the national strength is weak and unable to resist, so I can only let the French do whatever they want, I am not unwilling to contact the Tian P Dynasty, but I am afraid that as you said, the Tian Dynasty is unwilling to come forward and fall out with the French for my Vietnam, if it angers the French, it will not benefit the country, with your accurate words, what do I have to worry about, I have already thought about it, if it is embezzled by the French this time, I might as well hang up the crown and go to the mountains and forests to recruit the army, Fight to the death with the French. The Vietnamese still have blood in their bones, otherwise it would be impossible to lay a huge foundation on the Indochina Peninsula, Nguyen Van Xiang straightened his hat, "Let's go, the old man will accompany you to meet the driver!" ”

The tropical rain was urgent, the thunder roared, mixed with the storm, and the palace people who were waiting in the smooth palace had long been hiding in a dry place, and there were two palace people who worked hard to hold an umbrella in the rainstorm, and sent the first assistant of the Great Southern Kingdom and the governor of Thang Long Mansion to block the wind and rain and send them to the palace of the emperor of the Great Southern Kingdom.

The two of them were dressed properly, walked in one after the other, and arrived at the study of Emperor De, and the chamberlain took the two of them into the Qiancheng Palace, and Emperor De, the son of the Great Southern Heaven, was already waiting for the two of them on the throne.

The two of them knelt down and shouted three long live without mentioning it, Emperor Side had a white goatee, wearing a yellow dragon robe embroidered with dragons and patterns, with a webbed crown on his head, and a tired face on his face, he saw Chen Wending, snorted slightly, and did not tell the two of them to get up, "Chen Wending, what are you going to do?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know what His Majesty said." Chen Wending said.

"I'm asking about the good things you did in Thang Long Mansion!" Emperor Side said loudly, his sharp voice echoed in the Qiancheng Palace, and his voice seemed to be a little like a eunuch, "The imperial court is talking with the French in Saigon, and it is the time to make peace, you come to make such a show, I ask you, what is your intention!" ”

"Saigon signed a contract, it is absolutely not feasible." Chen Wending raised his head, "Your Majesty, the Great Southern Kingdom was created by Emperor Shizu himself, the ancestral foundation, it is really rare, the old year ceded Nanqi, it is already a humiliation for the whole country, and now it is ceded to Zhongqi, and the diplomatic, military, commercial and tax affairs are handed over to the French, so that is not the Khmer Cham to my Great Southern Kingdom?" ”

The Khmer Cham is a vassal state of Vietnam, which is actually equivalent to the internal vassal of China's Turghut tribe, and when Emperor Duc heard Chen Wending's words, he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and his face turned red, "You are bold!" You can put your beak in state affairs! ”

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." Chen Wending did not show weakness, "Loyalty to the country is the duty of a minister." ”

"Don't prevaricate me with this nonsense," Emperor Si De shouted angrily, "It's easy for you to get the French merchant ships in Thang Long Province, but it is difficult to negotiate in Saigon, originally this tariff or diplomacy can get one or two back, but now it seems that both of these things are going to be in vain, Chen Wending you are so good, why don't I give you the title of Metropolitan Governor and exterminate the French in one fell swoop?" Emperor Side said gloomily, "I have never been crowned king by the surname of Da Nan, as long as you can defeat the French and drive the French out of Nanqi, I will make you king, how about it, Governor Chen?" ”

Emperor Side This is ironic, Chen Wending is a civil official, how can he go on the field to kill the enemy, Chen Wending was about to say something, but was stopped by Ruan Wenxiang, "Your Majesty, the old minister has great news to tell the emperor!" ”

"What's the good news? If it's good news like Chen Wending, I don't have to listen to it, by the way, the admiral of Baosheng City will also breathe out of Chen Wending's nostrils. Is that the good news you're talking about? Emperor Side said disdainfully. (To be continued.) )
