Chapter 1154: Trickery (I)
Don't beg to bow down again.
Although he didn't know too well how difficult and powerful it all was, he was full of confidence in his Great Khan.
He believed that under the leadership of the Great Khan, it would not be long before they set foot in the area south of the Yellow River and conquer city after city.
Seeing this, Merezhen smiled again: "So, you have to take good care of our food, which will be the foundation for us to create a world that belongs to our Murweibu."
"Yes, I will not let the Great Khan down, I will do my best, and there will be no shortage of grain......
"That's good, tomorrow I will leave Yongzhou first and go to Jizhou further south to prepare for the next dispatch of troops. Half a month later, you will escort the first batch of grain to Jizhou, where we will cross the Yellow River." Lezhen immediately gave instructions for the next step.
Don't beg to bend down again, there is no longer the previous impatience, but full of energy.
Just as the two of them were about to say goodbye and leave, a guard from the outside suddenly walked in, stood in front of the Seljan, and said, "Great Khan, a man from outside the city who claims to be an envoy of the Han court in the south says that he wants to see the Great Khan and discuss an important matter."
This report made both of them slightly stunned, and then he laughed: "It seems that the Han emperor over there really can't sit still. Let him come to me!"
Don't beg to say something, then thought of the previous strategies of the Great Khan, in the end, he held back, only bowed again, and simply left.
And after more than an hour, the guards outside came again to report that the Han messenger had come outside the hall. He smiled disapprehantly, and then put down the scroll in his hand, "Let him in."
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed plainly dressed and dusty came to the hall, and first saluted to the Mler Zhen in a proper manner: "The squire of the Dayue Rite Department, Zhuge Qingyun, the envoy of the north, has seen the Mler Zhen Patriarch."
Zhuge Qingyun was finally enabled by the imperial court again after a lapse of several years.
It is said that since the original plan to divide the Kaifeng line failed, he fled back to Jinling sparingly, and after meeting the emperor, he was greatly hit and was removed from all official positions.
However, he is not an ordinary person after all, and although he suffered a big setback, he did not really collapse because of this. Instead, he took advantage of the past few years of leisure at home, read and introspect, and worked hard to improve himself, in order to be able to make up for his past shame and make up for the imperial court.
And Sun Ning, as the lord who once valued him, invited him to come out, and entrusted him with important tasks, really did not give up on him because of a mistake.
Finally, in this major matter related to the overall northward strategy of the entire Dayue Imperial Court, this particularly critical errand was handed over to him, Zhuge Qingyun, who was reactivated as the squire of the Ministry of Rites.
And Zhuge Qingyun naturally would not live up to His Majesty the Emperor's attention, and after understanding the emperor's intentions, he set off without the slightest hesitation.
After a few years of leisure and recuperation, Zhuge Qingyun's whole person looked more gentle and peaceful than at the beginning, and he couldn't see the slightest aggression at all. As for the growth of his mind and talents, he can only see the clues through the following performances.
At least at this time, in front of a grassland hero like Melezhen, he can be neither humble nor arrogant, and calm and right, which is enough to make many officials of the same dynasty ashamed.
After all, what he was in front of was Le Zhen, an existence that had killed countless people and was regarded as a beast by the Central Plains scholars. And he was able to sit calmly, with a smile on his face.
Seeing him behave like this, he also admired it: "You said that your surname is Zhuge , but you are the descendant of Zhuge Wuhou?"
"Exactly, the Patriarch of the Levyan also knows about the ancients of my Central Plains?" Zhuge Qingyun asked curiously.
"Hehe, Zhuge Wuhou, what a character, even on the grassland, we have heard of him and have a lot of admiration for him."
He also laughed and said, "You are his descendant, and you do have the ability to do so. That being the case, why do you have to work for such an incompetent court? Why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and come to my account to listen to it? I can grant you the position of Prime Minister of the Han Chinese, how about it?"
plentiful
It was Zhuge Qingyun who was fully prepared when he came, but when he heard the other party make such a request, he couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face. After a while, he smiled and said, "The patriarch has good intentions, but the loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, since I am a Dayue courtier, how can I betray the lord like this?"
"Don't you think about it? You should know better than I know the situation of your Dayue Imperial Court, is such an incompetent Imperial Court really worthy of your allegiance?" He persuaded him again without = not giving up.
Zhuge Qingyun looked solemn at this time: "Now that my Dayue Imperial Court has indeed encountered internal and external troubles, but since I am a courtier, what I should do is to help the imperial court and share the worries of His Majesty, not to leave them for my own interests.
"Moreover, since the patriarch knows that he is a descendant of Zhuge Wuhou, you should understand that my ancestor can go down in history because of what he did at the beginning. How can I do anything that dishonors my ancestors for my descendants? I hope the patriarch will stop making this difficult for me."
"Hehe, well, now that you've made up your mind, I'm not going to force it anymore." He nodded his head very eloquently, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me today?"
This can be regarded as getting to the point, Zhuge Qingyun immediately straightened his body, and his expression became solemn: "Don't hide it from the patriarch, I came to see you under the order of His Majesty, but for the long-term benefit of both you and me."
"Go on."
"I, the Dayue Imperial Court, are willing to openly admit that all the cities north of the Yellow River will be ruled by your three tribes, that is, Ludi, and we will not seek to recapture it again. On the basis of these two points, our two sides will sign an alliance of no further aggression against each other, and at least not cross the Yellow River and fight each other within ten years.
"And as long as you, the patriarch, the three tribes of Saibei can sign this covenant with my Dayue, not only will you be recognized by my Dayue court and be commensurate with a brotherly country, but you will also be able to receive an annual tribute of every Chinese New Year's Eve taels of silver and 100,000 pieces of silk from our dynasty......
"In this way, your ministry can completely establish a country with the land in this name, rule across the river from Da Yue, and share peace. The world is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate. But I don't know what you think, Patriarch?"
He smiled, and his smile was full of smugness in his control.
The Dayue Imperial Court's request for peace can be regarded as his expectation, or rather, this should be the best countermeasure for his Dayue Imperial Court to deal with the enemy on three sides at the moment.
But this didn't mean that he would accept it, and immediately sneered and shook his head: "Lord Zhuge , your sincerity is not enough!"
