Chapter 52: Rogue Diplomacy
"Meet General Wang, meet Lord Shangguan." Ji Chang saluted one by one in a cold sweat, for fear that the two in front of him would be angry.
Qin Xi smiled and said to Wang Ben: "I'll just say, some people are just cheap, and if you don't give him some color, he won't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”
Wang Ben nodded and didn't speak, it's better not to speak at this stall.
Qin Xi turned over and dismounted, and Wang Ben also turned over and dismounted.
Qin Xi took the remaining jar of wine and said, "Originally, I wanted to invite you to drink, but unfortunately you didn't take it orally, after all, my hand is going to slip again." ”
As soon as Qin Xi's words fell, the remaining jar of wine was thrown to the ground by Qin Xi casually, and the wine flowed all over the ground.
Kei Chang almost went crazy, can the hand slip be predictable? And I saw that you threw it, where is the hand slippery!
Ji Chang is the younger brother of the king of the contemporary Ji Kingdom, where did he suffer this grievance in the Ji Kingdom, but here, he has to endure pretending to be a grandson.
Ji Chang smiled: "My lord, I'll send someone to buy it later, my lord, please." ”
Ji Chang didn't want to be here for a moment, his face was lost in front of the Qin people, and if he wanted to lose face, he would go in and throw it to his own people.
"Then it's troublesome envoy, I'm only drinking the most expensive wine in Xianyang City." Qin Xi said and walked in with Wang Ben in high spirits.
Ji Chang naturally understood the meaning of Qin Xi's words, and immediately took out a small piece of gold and sent someone to buy wine.
After giving the order, he hurriedly followed and wanted to show the two of them the way, but Wang Ben was more familiar with this place than him, and he didn't need to lead the way at all.
Qin Xi said to Wang Ben: "Is there any place to cool down, I am suffocated to death in these ragged clothes." ”
"Yes, I'll take you to the back garden." Wang Ben said.
"And the back garden?" Qin Xi asked in surprise.
Wang Ben said as he walked: "There was no back garden here before, but an envoy of the Yan Kingdom was greedy for enjoyment, so he built a small garden.
However, that guy didn't enjoy the happiness here for long, and he was sent back, and then the three clans were wiped out by King Yan. ”
"Why was that guy exterminated the three clans by King Yan?" Qin Xi asked curiously.
Wang Ben said: "It is said that he received money from Zhao Guo, anyway, whether it is Zhao Guo or Yan Guo, there is no longer it, and it makes no sense to say it." ”
Ji Chang, who followed behind him like a grandson, was in a cold sweat when he heard it, and he realized at this time that this was the place where the envoy of the Yan Kingdom used to live.
Wang Ben took Qin Xi to the back garden with a familiar car, and saw a tall, bumpy and beautiful woman standing inside.
Qin Xi knew at a glance that she was not a Central Plains woman, because she had a peninsular face, but this era was pure and natural.
Ji Chang hurriedly introduced: "Two Shangguan, this is the princess of my Ji Kingdom, 15 years old this year, and it was dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor by my king. ”
Qin Xi could see a touch of sadness in this woman's eyes, remembering that after the Liu Han Dynasty in the previous life set a precedent, the Central Plains Dynasty often sought peace by marrying a princess, which was simply shameful!
Qin Xi asked, "What's your name?" ”
"If you go back to the adult, the little woman's name is Yin Ya." Princess Ji said humbly.
Wang Ben poked Qin Xi and reminded, "Serious business." ”
Qin Xi rolled his eyes, is he the kind of person who is confused by beauty? Apparently not.
Qin Xi said: "The pavilion where the princess is standing is good, let's go there and talk about your ministers." ”
"Okay, good, two adults, please." Ji Chang is like a dog's leg at this time, how can he still have the majesty when he was in Ji Kingdom.
"A few people talked slowly, and the little woman retired first." Yin Ya was about to leave as she spoke, but was stopped by Qin Xi.
"The princess doesn't have to leave, come and listen."
Wang Ben glanced at Qin Xi suspiciously, what is this going on? This princess is sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and you want people to listen to you here to harm her country, and when the time comes, people will blow a pillow wind and not kill you.
Qin Xi looked at Wang Ben frowning at him, so he said, "You can't have broken your eyes after going out for a long time, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to show you?" ”
Wang Ben almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, I'm here to remind you, okay! And not everyone can get a doctor like you.
Qin Xi no longer paid attention to Wang Ben and sat directly on the main seat. Although Wang Ben's official position is higher than him, who is called Qin Xi is the person in charge.
Qin Xi asked directly: "Since you Ji Guo want to be a vassal to my Great Qin, do you have any other expressions?" ”
Ji Chang, who had just sat down, almost fell, why did he have to say as soon as he came up, shouldn't he be polite and polite, and then slowly and gradually?
Ji Chang hurriedly called his subordinates to bring a small box, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of gold.
Ji Chang said with a smile: "Two adults, please accept a little bit of my heart from Ji Guo at this time." ”
"Presumptuous! You are insulting my Great Qin officials! Wang Ben slapped the table and shouted angrily. was so frightened that Ji Chang's face turned white.
But Qin Xi smiled at this time and said, "Not bad, it's very good, I accepted this gift." ”
"Qin Xi!" Wang Ben suddenly glared at Qin Xi angrily.
Is this gift acceptable? If you accept it, you will betray the interests of Great Qin.
Qin Xi said lightly: "General Wang, Your Majesty has entrusted me with the responsibility of this matter, then listen to me, since you don't want it, then it's all mine." ”
At this time, Ji Chang's heart was happy, and it would be easy to do it after receiving it. This young official is actually about the same color as himself, so it will be much easier to handle.
Yin Ya looked at Qin Xi suspiciously, the impression of Qin Xi at first sight was not bad, could it be that she was wrong?
Qin Xi knocked on the table and said, "Okay, let's get back to the point." ”
Qin Xi continued: "Since you want to be a vassal to my Great Qin, then you have to act like a courtier, do you understand? ”
"Clearly, my Ji Kingdom will pay tribute to Daqin every year after that, and of course, it is indispensable to the hearts of adults." Ji Chang said with a smile.
"That's it?" Qin Xi said: "That's not good. ”
"Huh?" Ji Chang was a little stunned and asked: "My lord, our Ji country can pay tribute of 10,000 gold and 100 beauties every year, which is the most that our Ji country can bear." ”
Qin Xi said: "I, Daqin, don't want tribute, don't want beautiful women." ”
Ji Chang was even more confused, what did Daqin want? Do you want the land of Minoki!
Ji Chang's face suddenly became ugly, and the princess on the side also looked at Qin Xi with hatred.
Not to mention these two people, Wang Ben couldn't figure out what Qin Xi was going to do.
Qin Xi knocked on the table and said: "If you are weak and want to submit to my Great Qin, then you must do it, all the commercial goods of my Great Qin, the Ji State must reduce or reduce the tariff by eighty percent."
The increase or decrease of tariffs in the country of Ji shall not affect the tariffs of our Daqin merchants, that is to say, what tariffs are paid when the treaty is signed, and what tariffs our Daqin merchants will pay in the future.
Open all border ports to our Daqin merchants, so as to facilitate our Daqin merchants to do business in the Kei country.
If a person from my Great Qin commits a crime in the Ji State, the official government of the Ji State shall not be arrested and interrogated, and must be handed over to my Great Qin for interrogation.
Also, the replacement of the Kei royal family must be approved by my Great Qin. The new king of the Ji Kingdom must go to my Great Qin in person and get the seal of the Emperor of my Great Qin before he can become the legitimate king of the Ji Kingdom.
The list of officials of the Kei State must be sent to Daqin for the record every year.
The laws of the Kei Kingdom should be based on the Constitution of our Great Qin, in which the detailed rules can be formulated by themselves, but they must not violate the Constitution of our Great Qin. ”
After Qin Xi's words were finished, Wang Ben's face was much better.
But Ji Chang and Yin Ya's faces were extremely ugly, this is simply treating Ji Country as a county of Qin State!
If this is agreed, it will be a betrayal, and if Ji Chang agrees, he will definitely die if he goes back.
Qin Xi said: "That's all for the time being, if there is anything to add, then I will inform the envoy in two days." ”
Qin Xi stood up as he spoke, and said, "It's not too early, it's time to go back." You should rest well. ”
Qin Xi didn't wait for Ji Chang and Yin Ya to react, picked up the gold and left, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Ji Chang's men buying wine and coming back, Qin Xi directly snatched it and stuffed it into Wang Ben's hands.
"I've accepted all the gifts, isn't it appropriate for you to accept them?"
Wang Ben's face was confused, looking at Qin Xi's back, with great doubts in his mind.
