Chapter 42: Let Shifan sign the agreement

When Li Zheng heard the first two changes, he was still a little confused, and thought: "It's the first time I've seen someone who wants to pay more money, so the prime minister of Qianguo is not crazy!" ”

But when he heard the third change, he was stupid all of a sudden.

Subconsciously looked at Zhou Zheng and said in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

Zhou was expressionless and repeated:

"This official said that in the agreement, the positions of the two countries should be reversed!"

This time, Lee was convinced that he had heard correctly.

His eyes widened and he said angrily, "Ridiculous! ”

Zhou Zheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said expressionlessly: "You can not sign!" But ten days later, our Qianwang division will go south to attack Wu! ”

Attack Wu two words one exit.

Li Zheng was stunned again.

To be honest, before coming to Honglu Temple, he didn't think that Qianguo might behave more toughly.

But he thinks.

With the weak character of the prime minister of the Qianguo, no matter how tough he is, it is nothing more than not paying compensation and not apologizing.

Didn't expect it anyway.

How dare the cadres demand compensation from them in turn!

Not only do they have to ask for compensation, but they also have to negotiate tariffs.

Although there are no goods that can be sold to Wu in Qianguo, once this agreement is signed, it is tantamount to losing power and humiliating the country!

Don't say it's him, even Lord Shousuke, and even His Majesty, he will be scolded by the people for being bloody!

Come to think of this.

His whole body was excited, his brain cleared up a little, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are dreaming!" In any case, it is impossible for this official to sign this agreement! ”

Zhou Zheng said expressionlessly: "This official is still the same sentence, you can not sign it, ten days later, my Great Qianwang Division will go south to attack Wu!" ”

"Just you?"

Li Zheng tried his best to calm down, pretending to be indifferent, and said disdainfully: "Heh! I'm afraid that you won't even be able to get enough food and grass for the war! ”

As soon as the words fell.

Zhou Zheng stood up suddenly, glanced at Li Zheng, and said lightly: "You can go back!" ”

When Li Zheng heard this, his face turned angry and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he heard Zhou Zhengfeng say lightly: "Ten days later, my Daqian will officially attack Wu!" ”

After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left the main hall.

He did not show the slightest hesitation from beginning to end, as if he was ready for war!

Li Zheng looked at his departing back, in a trance.

He clearly understood.

If Qianguo chooses to go south at this time, it will form a front and rear attack with Yueguo.

In this way, Da Wu is in danger!

Come to think of this.

Cold sweat broke out on Li Zheng's forehead, and he couldn't keep calm anymore, so he stood up and walked towards the outside of Honglu Temple.

Such an important thing.

How dare he, a small deputy envoy, make a decision, and finally go back to ask Hu Shifan.

Half an hour later.

Li Zheng returned to the restaurant, and without saying a word, pushed Hu Shifan's room open and walked in.

I looked around and suddenly found it.

Hu Shifan sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes glazed and his eyes blank, as if he was demented.

Obviously.

At this time, Hu Shifan had come to his senses and recovered his memory of yesterday.

Li Zheng looked at him, thought about it, walked up anyway, and said, "Master Hu, you have to cheer up!" ”

"The mission is still waiting for you to preside over the overall situation!"

Hu Shifan looked ahead in a daze, unable to move, as if a heart was dead.

When Li Zheng saw this scene, he sighed in his heart, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only tell him the results of today's negotiations first.

"Lord Hu, Qianguo wants our Dawu to compensate three million taels of silver and agree on tariffs, otherwise we will send troops south, what should the lower officials do? To sign this agreement or not to sign it? ”

Hu Shifan was still glazed-eyed.

Seeing this, Li Zheng said anxiously: "Master Hu, what should I do, you have to give a sentence!" ”

When Hu Shifan heard this, he finally had a little reaction.

He glanced at Li Zheng, and his mouth moved slightly.

Seeing this, Li Zheng looked surprised and leaned forward: "Master Hu, what did you say?" ”

Hu Shifan slowly spit out a word: "Get out!" ”

Li Zheng listened, and his expression instantly froze.

To this point.

He finally understood that Hu Shifan couldn't count on it.

"There are still ten days to go, write to Shousuke-sama, it should be in time!"

Thinking of this, Li Zheng picked up a brush and wrote down the content of the negotiation on paper.

He wrote two copies in total, handed them to the two guards, and instructed: "This letter is related to the life and death of my Great Wu!" Be sure to deliver it to Shousuke-sama within two days! ”

The two guards arched their hands and said, "Yes, my lord! ”

After speaking, he reached out to take the letter and left the restaurant.

Li Zheng watched the two of them leave, and the tiredness accumulated for two days suddenly came like a tide.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes went black, and he fainted on the ground.

Two days later.

Wu Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Qingxin Palace.

Emperor Zhao Ji looked at the letter in his hand, his brows were twisted together, his face was full of worry, and he sighed: "The war in the south is still scorching, and there is this incident in the north, but what should I do!" ”

Hu Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, looked at Zhao Ji and arched his hand: "Your Majesty! Do not believe all that the epistles say!

In Chen's opinion, even if Qianguo knew about the war in the south, he would never dare to attack rashly!

There are three reasons: First, there is a shortage of grain in the country, and once there is a war, the fields of military households will be wasted!

The northern part of our Dawu is relatively barren and cannot provide them with grain and grass.

Once the war starts, as long as the state capitals do not move, the other side itself will be in trouble!

Second......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"Elder Hu Ge, if I remember correctly, this denunciation of the Prime Minister of Qianguo is your idea, right?

I told you a long time ago that the war with Yue is not over yet, so don't cause trouble.

You swear to tell me that with the character of the prime minister of the Qianguo, you will definitely obediently obey and send money and food.

But the result?

Not only did they not send it, but they also bit us in turn! ”

When Hu Song heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to argue for himself.

However, I didn't know what to say for a while

After all, facts speak louder than words!

Although I don't know why the prime minister of Qianguo suddenly became tough, but this is the case, what can he say?

Seeing this, Zhao Ji sighed, waved his hand and said, "Elder Hu Ge, don't add fuel to the fire again, isn't it just a few million taels of silver, and it really can't come out of my inner money." ”

When Hu Song heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is still the tariff!" If you agree to Qianguo's request, what do our businessmen of Dawu think! ”

Zhao Ji said: "Qianguo is barren, you can't even afford to eat, how can you sell any goods, for so many years, have you seen the merchants of Qianguo in the capital?" ”

"But ......"

Hu Song still wants to persuade again.

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "I'm tired, this matter is so decided, let Shifan sign the agreement!" ”

After speaking, he reclined on the dragon chair and took a nap.

When Hu Song saw this scene, he knew that it was pointless to persuade him, so he could only sigh and leave the Qingxin Palace!

Two days later.

Li Zheng received a reply with only two words.

"Signable!"
