Chapter 33: The Messenger of Recreation
On the third day after his arrival at Mingsha Mountain, Wang Lin, the envoy of the Kangle people, had a premonition of this diplomatic failure, and he met the envoys of two other countries: the monk Haihui of Dongduo and the foreign minister of Shannan, Chabchar. Haihui is just right, this Chabuchar is not simple. In addition to being the foreign minister of Shannan Kingdom, he is also a member of the royal family. His arrival means that this great power, which can rival Kangle, has fallen to the military alliance between Mingsha Mountain and Dongduo.
This is extremely important news, he wrote a secret letter for the first time, sent his henchman Starry Night to Dadu, and at the same time, secretly met with Qapqal.
"The aggressive behavior of the Kangle people is extremely unwise", and as an outsider, Chapqar criticized one side of the war so arrogantly, undoubtedly in order to show his attitude and not leave any room for the defeated country to maneuver.
"In this era of peace, waging war against a sovereign country that is completely politically and economically independent is bound to meet with the opposition of the whole world. The Dongduo people, the Huxia people, the Xiling people, the Baiyu people, and so on, including some countries that originally wanted to stay out of the matter, cannot sit idly by and watch your country's reckless military force."
Looking at his righteous face, Wang Lin couldn't wait to whip him, these guys who specialize in sowing discord under the guise of justice, where is there any justice except selfishness? However, he can only scold him in his heart, on the surface, he still has to be a ball of harmony.
"Is it biased that the two countries fight each other, each taking its own responsibility, and the adults only pass the blame on one side? Nanshan and Kangle have always been friendly, and Kangle does not ask Nanshan to attack Shikoku Island, just as Nanshan does not ask Kangle and Mingshashan, I think that between the big countries, focusing on the overall situation, a slight tilt may cause irreparable consequences. Now I am happy to reconcile with Mingsha Mountain, and I hope that my lord will succeed from it."
Wang Lin's words are hidden in the needle, how can Qapqar not hear it? He is also a master of diplomacy, just now he just tested the truth and reality, and when he saw that Wang Lin did not show any flaws, he immediately changed his attitude and greeted each other with a smile: "You and I are our own masters, each doing our own thing, and we can't talk about whether jade is successful or not." On the contrary, it is a happy thing to be able to make friends with each other in addition to official business."
Wang Lin saw that he had changed the topic, and it was not good to continue the preface, so he had to tell some gossip anecdotes, talked about it with each other, and then came back, and the next morning, handed over the national letter, and waited for the summons of Qiu Shenghong, the king of Mingsha Mountain.
It wasn't until a week later that Qiu Shenghong met him in the side hall, and along with him, there were also the great Situ Zhong Dalu, the head of the household department Hu Songhua, the head of the military department Xiao Beichen, the director of the criminal department Liang Shutong, and the big Sima Huermu who had just returned from Longshi Fort.
"The angel of the great country, the courtier should be welcomed from afar, but in recent days, the widow has been unwell, and he has to meet today, and he still looks at the angel Haihan."
"Your Majesty is the king, and your subordinates are ministers, although they are in a foreign country, the reason is the same, but the matter of the subordinates is important, and I have to rush to see Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me if it is abrupt."
"The kingdom of heaven came with a fight, and the courtiers had to go with a fight, and now they want to live and fight, abandon the previous suspicions, how can the courtiers not be grateful to Dade, and the reason for cheering and jubiling, but the affairs of the country, there is no one left, and the rest is willing, but the people of the world are what"?
"Not bad"! Da Sima Yuezhong, his tone was indignant: "Kangle people rely on their people, come to me with soldiers, want to enslave me and serve me, and their heart to destroy me is known to the world." Why didn't you let me say a word at that time? Now that the battlefield is broken, civil strife is everywhere, and Fang wants to negotiate peace, which is not his original intention, and it is a special plan to delay the army. Once the civil strife subsides and the troops are sufficient, who can guarantee that he will not come back? And after two years of war, the wounds have been deep, the dead cannot be resurrected, the disabled cannot be recovered, the son has lost his father, the woman has lost her husband, although the three-foot boy wants to be sharpened and sharpened, to avenge his father and brother, at this time, peace can still be obtained"?
In fact, before meeting Wang Lin, Qiu Shenghong had already discussed the issue of peace and war with these ministers. This time, the voice of the Lord and the faction was much quieter, especially in the presence of the sudden wood. So after suddenly Muki expressed his opinion, no one stood up against it. But Wang Lin is different, he came with a mission, even if he is hard-headed, he must persevere to the end. Now seeing that no one spoke, he had to speak: "Da Sima's words are bad, is there no peace when the army is handed over?" It's just that the two sides wrestle and don't give in to each other. Now that we are willing to give in to each other, can't Da Sima? Da Sima thought that our army was newly defeated, and Mingsha Mountain won the public, so there was such a peace discussion, which is also true. However, Da Sima should live with himself: although Kangle is defeated, it will eventually be a big country, millions of people, and the moon will come. Although Mingsha Mountain is victorious, the strength of the whole country is less than 10,000 soldiers, even if Dongduo, Baiyu, Hu Xia, Xiling, Changlin, several countries are combined, there are no 100,000 people. As for the people of Shannan, they are separated by thousands of miles from Mingsha Mountain, and between the urgency and urgency, how can they help each other? If the two countries release their old grievances and restore the old goodwill, so that the soldiers and horses can rest and the people can be safe, will it not be a blessing for all generations? I think that the people of your country are also happy to see peace, not to die in battle."
Suddenly, Mu was furious, and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Qiu Shenghong: "National affairs, you can't decide with one word." And in my alliance, there are many brothers, and the courtiers should consult with all the brothers, and after there is a result, how about I wait for it?"
Wang Lin is just an envoy, what can he do? I had to return to the pavilion and wait for the opportunity to move. However, what he didn't expect was that Da Situ Zhong Da Lu secretly helped him, and that night, he sent a henchman to invite him to the house for a talk. Wang Lin didn't have to think about it to know what he was going to do, so he was naturally happy.
The luxury of Situ Mansion made him, a person born in the Central Plains, couldn't help but be amazed. The two stone lions in front of the door are worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and the two gates are made of the best summer wood, and a whole tree is used, and there is no splicing. The door is made of 8864 pure gold nails, and the two huge lion head knockers are also made of pure gold. Entering the gate, the path paved with the West Sea God Stone extends to the Second Gate, which is said to come from the bottom of the West Sea and can glow like fireflies at night. On both sides of the road are two rows of jade trees, the jade beads on the trees are swaying in the wind, and the dazzling eyes are full of colors. Behind the trees are two rows of houses, and under the eaves are various cages, in which rare animals and animals are collected from all over the world. In several small fish ponds, there are pinny flowers, which can only be found in extremely cold places, so icebergs are also made in the ponds with special equipment. The small rockery looks ordinary, but in fact it is also very valuable, they are all kinds of jade rough stones, but they are not polished.
It's just that the small front yard is so luxurious, and the main house and garden can be imagined, Wang Lin can't help but sigh with emotion. I thought that when I came to Situ Mansion once, I could see all the strange things in the world. When he was sighing, the sedan chair had been lifted to the second door. After getting off the sedan chair, the top of the more luxurious soft sedan chair was replaced, carried by four gorgeously dressed family members, and walked towards the main house, the treasures along the way, needless to say, in short, are extremely rare things, so that Wang Lin, a person who thinks he is well-informed, can't help but be dumbfounded.
After walking for a long time, the sedan chair stopped, and the subordinate pressed the sedan chair, helped him down, and then retreated. He woke up from a dream, brushed the dust off his body, and walked towards the parlor with two people dressed like butlers.
"The angel came, Zhong never greeted him from afar, forgive his sins and forgive his sins"! Zhong Dalu was already waiting at the door, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. With such a high status and such humility to a messenger, Wang Lin also felt flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. Just as he was about to look up, he suddenly felt that a pair of eyes were looking at him. When I looked up, I couldn't help but be surprised. I saw a person standing behind Zhong Dalu, this person was more than one meter tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the muscles were full on the exposed double bibs. A long sapphire blue hair fell behind him in a spindle shape, reaching the crook of his calves, and a pair of large eyes, also sapphire blue, were staring at him unblinkingly.
"Oh, let me introduce you", Zhong Dalu looked at Wang Lin looking behind him, and smiled and let Ba Niu come forward: "This is the famous Dongduo No. 1 warrior Li Jiuyuan Li Gongzi."
"Late born Li Jiuyuan, I have seen an angel." He was more surprised by his relaxed demeanor and calm tone.
"Little heroes are famous all over the world, and it is a great honor to be able to meet here"! A few more polite people walked into the hall.
