A crisis is also an opportunity.

After bidding farewell to Gu Wen Shang, these words have been haunting Suriya's heart.

After much thought, he made a choice and decided to step into the trap set by his father.

Out of the habit of never wanting to attract attention, Suriya did not show the carriage and horses to come to the door directly, but found the Pu family in Zhancheng to cover up.

The Pu family in Zhancheng is also a wealthy merchant family, and they don't have a good relationship with the Zhang family, but they often have business dealings, and it is very common to visit each other.

At the appointed time, Suriya was in the same car with Pu Youxi, the head of the Pu family, and when they were about to arrive at Zhang's house, they were stopped by a team of soldiers.

In the past few days, in order to ensure the safety of the Song Dynasty mission, Bao Bao Bald sent a lot of troops to guard the vicinity, prohibiting idle people from approaching.

Fortunately, Qian Long said hello in advance, and the Pu family also had some status in Zhancheng, so the officer leading the team just asked a few casual questions, and let him go without checking more.

Along the way, through the cracks in the curtains, Suriya found that these soldiers were quite elite, estimated to number at least five or six hundred, and it seemed that his uncle attached great importance to this, and even realized that there was something wrong with it.

In fact, Bao Bao Bald controlled most of the naval forces in the city, and occupied the majority of the maritime interests, and now he was forced by the Song people to suspend the plunder, which was equivalent to cutting off a big financial road, and he should have hated the Song Dynasty mission the most.

But Jaya just handed over the task of protection to him, and if something went wrong, all the responsibility and the black cauldron would be thrown on his head.

At that time, he didn't realize the secret, and when he came to his senses, he secretly scolded Jaya for being sinister and treacherous, but he didn't have time to regret it, and he only had the intention to strengthen the defense of the mission.

The Zhang family sent someone to greet and introduce the car directly into the house, and Zhang Yangfan, as the owner, was already waiting at the parking place.

"The prince and the puss are here, and the humble house is shining......"

After a polite greeting, Zhang Yangfan continued, "The old man has prepared a feast in the garden, and he has also invited the superior Pu Chengfeng and the commander of Qian, so the two of you shouldn't mind." ”

People originally came to the Song envoys, but according to the rules, the prince could not contact foreign envoys in private, and although Suriya had Jaya's instructions, after all, it was not put on the surface, so Zhang Yangfan still had to create the appearance of an unexpected encounter between the two sides.

This is all about covering your ears and stealing the bell, but it is often necessary at certain times.

Su Liye smiled, "What do you mind about this, the guest is as good as the host, I naturally obey Zhang Yuanwai's arrangement." ”

When they arrived in the garden, they greeted each other again, and then the guests and hosts sat down.

Immediately, Pu Shiwen first raised his glass and apologized to Pu Youxi, "Counting, I haven't seen my uncle for more than 20 years, and this time my little nephew came to occupy the city, but he has not been able to visit his uncle, which is too rude, and I ask my uncle for forgiveness." ”

The Pu family is a big cannibal, and it has been two or three hundred years since they moved to Zhancheng, and more than a hundred years ago, Pu Shougeng's branch moved to Guangzhou, and Pu Shougeng's father moved to Quanzhou, but the connection between the same clan has been maintained, supporting each other's commercial interests.

Pu Youxi also went to Quanzhou to trade in his early years, and he could speak Chinese, but he was very rusty and had a strange accent. Now that you are an official and an envoy, you are naturally putting public before private, so you can't talk about rudeness......"

"Haha, my uncle understands the righteousness, and the little nephew admires it very much, by the way, it is reported that my nephew Pu Chongmo is occupying the city, I don't know if my uncle has seen him?" Pu Shiwen still had a smile on his face, as if he just asked casually.

Pu Youxi's eyelids jumped, and he immediately pretended to be confused, and said directly in the big food language, "I'm old, and I live in a simple place every day, so I haven't heard of it." ”

"Really?" Pu Shiwen also changed to the big food language, "so that my uncle knows that the Pu family in Quanzhou committed a heinous crime in the Great Song Dynasty, but fortunately, the little nephew changed his evil and returned to the right in time, so he was able to keep a trace of blood inheritance, but unfortunately Chongmo is too young and does not understand my suffering, and his personality is perverse and reckless, if my uncle has the opportunity to see him, please persuade him more, otherwise he will get into trouble, and Zhancheng may not be able to shelter it." ”

This is not only Pu Chongmo, but also in the Pu family in Dianzhan City, so Pu Youxi's face became a little ugly, and he snorted, "If I can really meet Chongmo, I will naturally persuade him." ”

"Well, the little nephew thanked his uncle first..."After Pu Shiwen finished speaking, he looked at Su Liye again, and used back Chinese, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I only cared about catching up with the elders and neglected the prince." ”

Suriya said generously, "It's okay, it's normal for people, your Pu family has two branches, and has contributed a lot to the trade between the two countries for hundreds of years. ”

"Thank you for the prince's attention, isn't the foreign minister's visit this time to restore friendship between the two countries, and now it has made a good start, and I hope to maintain such a good trend."

Pu Shiwen didn't know the true status of Suriya in Champa, and he didn't know what the purpose of his coming was that he came, so his tone was more official.

However, at this time, Qian Long spoke, and his tone was more direct, "I wonder how Prince Suriya views the relationship between Champa and the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

When Suriya heard this, he realized that this was his own attitude in the examination school, so he solemnly said, "Shangguo is the father, the contempt country is the son, the son is also from the father, the city is one with China, and it is separated from the country for various reasons, but it has always admired the Central Plains Shangguo as if he admired his father, and from the beginning of the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the contempt country was sincerely respected, and the son respected his father, and the Great Song Dynasty treated the contemptible country with kindness, such as a loving father and a son, but 90 years ago, the contempt country was unfortunately usurped by the traitor, resulting in a wrong step, and the kingdom gradually drifted away, and recently neglected public security, As a result, pirates are rampant, and there are many things that offend the kingdom, which is really undeserved, and in my opinion, the country should be corrected as soon as possible, regain the heart of humility and sincerity, seek forgiveness from the kingdom, and return to the right path of filial piety of the father and son. ”

Although it was only a general talk, Suriya also showed enough sincerity.

Qian Long clapped his palm, "Well said, the prince is wise and wise, and he is a person of the most affectionate and sexual, if only the whole of your country could think like this, wouldn't it be happy to share the family in the future." ”

Sharing family ......

This is really a posture to see Champa as a son.

Even if Suriyah himself used the father and son as a metaphor, he couldn't help blushing at this time, his heart was full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly coughed to cover it up.

"Ahem...... Somehow, when I first saw Commander Qian, I felt very fateful, if I didn't give up, would it be good for you and me to become friends? ”

Qian Long laughed heartily, "Hahaha, the prince is worthy of being a man of temperament, and I have this intention, so in the future, you and I will be commensurate with each other, Brother Su, and the younger brother will be polite." ”

Why did I end up with Sue?

Su Liye couldn't help but have black lines on his head, but he didn't care about it, so he hurriedly returned the salute, "Brother Qian Xian is more polite, in addition to being a few years older, Brother Foolish is not as good as Brother Xian in terms of knowledge and experience, and there will be more help from Brother Lao in the future." ”

At this time, several people present could see that Su Liye deliberately married Qian Long, in fact, he wanted to seek the support of the Song Dynasty behind Qian Long.

A prince seeking support from outside powers, mostly for political ambitions, would obviously have a great impact on the situation in Champa.

Zhang Yangfan immediately remembered that yesterday Qian Long revealed that he had the intention of recovering the city, and today Suriya came to the door to seek support, which was simply a sleepy encounter with a pillow.

Although Suriya seems to have a poor background in the eyes of the Cham people, he is also a serious prince, and if he has the full support of the Song Dynasty, there is a high probability that he will be able to ascend to the throne.

relied on the Song Dynasty to obtain the throne, and most of them had to rely on the Song Dynasty to sit firmly, so Suriya had to obediently cooperate with the Song Dynasty......

Thinking of this, Zhang Yangfan raised his glass with a smile, "Life is rare to know each other, Prince Surier and Commander Qian hit it off at first sight, and since then they have married Jinlan, it is really gratifying, we are fortunate to witness, when we drink this cup to celebrate, come and come, everyone wins, respect friendship!" ”

Pu Youxi was suspicious at this time, because his Pu family was rarely involved in the power struggle in the city, and generally whoever was on the throne moved closer to whom.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you want to get a dragon skill, you won't choose Xiao Transparent Suriya, after all, no matter what way you look at it, Suriya does not have the conditions to compete for the throne, and has never even shown such ambitions.

This time, he was willing to accompany Suriya to contact the Song Dynasty mission, mainly because of the instructions of Zhanwang Jaye, and he never expected such a play to be staged.

Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, if you are involved in the struggle for supreme power, you will face a brutal fight, and the final loser will often end up very miserable.

What's more, when it comes to entanglements between countries, it is a hundred times more complicated and dangerous......

As a businessman, if you have enough profits, you will naturally not be afraid to take risks, but the investment in this transaction is too large, and the chances of winning are slim, and it does not seem to be cost-effective.

Pu Youxi was so engrossed that everyone else raised their glasses, but he was still in a daze.

Qian Long gave Pu Shiwen a look, and then Pu Shiwen called out loudly, "Uncle! Uncle ......"

"Huh?" Pu Youxi came back to his senses, found his embarrassing situation, and hurriedly explained, "It's easy to get distracted when you're old, please forgive me." ”

Pu Shiwen seemed to be comforting, "This person, don't think too much, otherwise it's easy to scare yourself, don't chase after the wind and catch the shadow if it hasn't happened yet, and don't make rash decisions, if there is really something, just follow the trend, uncle, don't you say?" ”

Hearing this, Pu Youxi suddenly realized, yes, how can a few words be set for big things, not to mention the ambiguous banquet jokes, even if there is that possibility, there is still no shadow at the moment, and there is no need to do anything by yourself, just look at the outside of things.

Then Pu Shiwen continued, "It's just to testify to Prince Suriya's engagement with Commander Qian, presumably my uncle won't shirk." ”

"Of course, of course, drink win, drink win!"

Pu Youxi hurriedly picked up the cup, and then the five of them toasted together.

After three rounds of drinking, Suriya said, "Brother Qian Xian, after you arrived in Zhancheng, you haven't appreciated the local customs, so it's better for me to be your guide in the afternoon and take you around." ”

Qian Long understood that Su Liye wanted to communicate privately, so he naturally agreed, "Then there is Brother Lao Su, do you want to be together?" …… If you don't go, then you can talk to your uncle more......"
