Chapter 734: Covenant
I haven't seen him for a year, Fu Yi's hair is whiter, there are more wrinkles on his face, there is a sadness between his eyebrows, he can't help but smile when he sees his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law, but the sorrow between his eyebrows has not decreased much, and the worry in his eyes has become heavier.
Zhao Hanzhang dismounted when he was about ten steps away from him, and then walked forward with Fu Tinghan and saluted, "Grandfather Fu!"
Fu You's beard was flying in the cold wind, he grabbed the flying beard with one hand, and beckoned to them with the other: "Hurry up, get up, the envoy from Xiliang is already waiting in the tent, let's go and see them."
Zhao Hanzhang responded with a smile and handed over the entourage to Fan Ying to manage.
She followed closely behind Fu Yi, "Who is Xiliang coming?"
"It's Yang Tang in the middle of governance."
Yang Tang was a tall scribe with a small beard on his mouth, a white face, a medium-long face, and a righteous style.
Zhao Hanzhang's gaze swept over his left ear, which was empty, and it had been cut off by someone.
That should be what he cut, in order to see the king of Nanyang pleading for Zhang Liang, Zhao Hanzhang admired this kind of person who can do it so well to himself.
Yang Tang is also looking at Zhao Hanzhang, he has heard of Zhao Hanzhang's name for a long time, but today is the first time he has seen it.
This year, Xiliang and Zhao Hanzhang cooperated a lot, and the barley, medicinal materials, cattle and sheep and furs produced in Xiliang were sold to Luoyang, Yuzhou and other places through Chang'an.
And Zhao Hanzhang herself was short of grain, she also introduced several grain merchants to Xiliang, facilitated their transactions with grain merchants, and even allowed them to sell salt to Xiliang.
There is even one of their Western Liang Army serving under her, and I heard that she uses Beigong Chunru's arm, and she doesn't mind.
Because of this trust, whether it is Zhang Liang himself or his subordinates, they have a good impression of Zhao Hanzhang.
Yang Tang couldn't help but raise a smile, and when Zhao Hanzhang approached, he took a deep look, "Xiaguan Yang Tang pays a visit to Zhao Tingshi."
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and smiled, "Yang Zhizhong doesn't have to be polite, please sit down."
After speaking, she realized that she was also a guest, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Fu You.
Seeing her flattering smile, Fu Yi waved his hand angrily and said, "Please sit down, Zhao Tingshi will also sit."
Xiliang and Luoyang had to pass through Chang'an, so Yang Tang invited Fu Yi to talk together.
Now there are two people in charge of Chang'an, one is Fu Yi, and the other is the king of Nanyang.
The status of the king of Nanyang is relatively high, and it seems that the name has been changed to justification, but he has no talent, Fu You has only been in office for a year, not only the people inside and outside Chang'an, but even many generals and subordinates under the command of the king of Nanyang have taken refuge in Fu You.
So now Chang'an is Fu You's master.
In terms of official fighting, Zhao Hanzhang is not his opponent.
So she never invites famous *** to be her subordinate, because she knows that she can't fight them for the time being, and she prefers to promote people from a low position.
Xiliang's requirements are very simple, they hope to attract more merchants from the Central Plains, not limited to grain merchants, silk, cotton, porcelain, glaze and other Xiliang are very fond, they hope that these merchants can go to Xiliang to take a walk and have a look......
At the same time, they could transport their spices, precious stones, medicinal herbs, furs, and even the cattle, sheep and horses that Zhao Hanzhang urgently needed to the Central Plains.
This is economic, political and military, and Yang hopes that they will have deeper cooperation in the matter of the Qiang people and the Xianbei in the west and north. ….
The location of Xiliang is destined for them to have four enemies, one or two are the western Xianbei and Qiang people who live together, the third is the Han Huns who cross the Qiang people to reach Xiliang at any time, and the fourth is the northern Xianbei.
These enemies, except for Xianbei in the north, who can't touch Zhao Hanzhang for the time being, the other three may also go south to attack Zhao Hanzhang at any time.
Therefore, Xiliang hopes to strengthen cooperation with Zhao Hanzhang, just like this time, Zhao Hanzhang sent troops to Liu Yuan, and Xiliang sent troops to sweep the battle for her, Xiliang hopes that one day if they fight with foreign enemies, Zhao Hanzhang can also send troops to respond.
Zhao Hanzhang agreed without much hesitation.
The conditions given by Zhang Liang are very refreshing, and the requirements are reasonable, she likes to be self-aware like this, and she must have something to gain
Allies who will pay first.
In this negotiation, it seems that Zhao Hanzhang and Xi Liang are talking, but in fact, Chang'an cannot be bypassed.
Because whether it is commerce or trade, or soldiers entering and leaving, they need to pass through the checkpoints of Chang'an, so Fu You is very important.
Fu Yi has been listening to them silently, he has no objection to their cooperation, he only has one request, "If one day, Your Majesty is in trouble, I want you to promise me that King Qin will protect Your Majesty and the Great Jin at any cost."
Zhao Hanzhang and Yang Tang glanced at each other, and bowed their heads in unison.
Fu Yi exhaled slowly and said, "Then draw up a covenant."
Both sides were friendly, so the talks were quick, and the covenant was finalized in only half a day.
Fan Ying drafted the letter of alliance, copied one copy of each document under Fu Yi's account, and handed over the three copies of the letter of alliance.
The three of them read it, confirmed that it was correct, and then signed and sealed.
Yang Tang's gaze swept over Fan Ying, and Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "I have heard that there are many capable female officials under Zhao Tingshi's account, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation."
Zhao Hanzhang also glanced at Fan Ying with a smile, and said, "This is what I am engaged in."
In other words, Fan Ying and Yang Tang's official rank is the same.
Yang Tang became more respectful when he heard this, and got up and saluted Fan Ying, and then said to Zhao Hanzhang: "The girl in our Assassin's Mansion heard that there is a female official in Zhao Tingshi, and she was clamoring to come together, and she also said that she wanted to ask for an official and a half-position under Zhao Tingshi.
"After a while, the girl will come to see Zhao Tingshi, and ask Zhao Tingshi to take care of him, and we will stay for a few more days and go back to Xiliang."
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It turns out that Zhang Tingshi's daughter is also here, then I want to see it, they all say that the tiger father has no dog girl, Zhang Tingshi is a hero, and Zhang Girl must also be a chivalrous heroine."
Zhang Rail's daughter is called Zhang Ru, she is Zhang Rail's fourth child and the youngest, and she is quite favored, otherwise she wouldn't have cried, and Zhang Rail would have let her follow.
She is the same age as Zhao Hanzhang, dressed in red, but she looks very gentle, with a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and when she heard that Zhao Hanzhang wanted to see her, she immediately came to see her with a long sword.
She hurriedly saluted Fu You, who was sitting on the top, and then looked up to find Zhao Hanzhang, and saw the young girl sitting on Fu You's left side at a glance, and she was stunned at a glance.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at her with a smile, and when he saw her staring at her in a daze, he couldn't help laughing out loud and asked, "Why is Miss Zhang staying?" Didn't I look too ugly and scare you?"
Zhang Ru's face flushed, she shook her head again and again, her eyes sparkled and looked at her and said, "No, Envoy Jun is the most handsome assassin I have ever seen, I was stunned for a while."
Zhao Hanzhang laughed when he heard this, patted the seat next to him and said, "Miss Zhang, come forward and sit down, let's drink together."
Fu You silently turned his head to look at his grandson, and saw that Fu Tinghan just looked up at Zhang Ru and Zhao Hanzhang and lowered his head to drink the soup.
Fu You's heart was complicated for a while, and he didn't know what expression to make.
