Chapter 277: Young Master, You've Changed

"Little Emperor, since you also have the heart to form a friendship with the Jingyuan Empire, and Han Zeng is also supportive of this matter at the moment, I don't think it's as good as possible, after you return to the palace, you will draw up a secret agreement for me to bring back to the Jingyuan Empire and hand it over to me on a pilgrimage, and make a covenant on this. When the time is ripe in the future, the two countries will openly form an alliance, and from then on they will be good for all eternity. ”

Zhao Hongjin waved his hand unexpectedly to Shao Xi, and said with excitement on his face: "Your dynasty has given such generous conditions, wouldn't it seem petty if I Nan Zhao cowered any longer?" When I returned, I began to draw up a covenant document, but it was not a secret treaty, but an open alliance with the Jingyuan Empire. After you return to Jingyuan with this letter of alliance, you will tell the virtuous monarch of your dynasty that my Nanzhao is willing to sign a formal alliance with the Jingyuan Empire on this, and the two countries will be brothers and friends from then on. ”

Shao Xi was secretly glad in his heart that this matter had finally been completed, and his trip had not been in vain.

He arched his hand at Zhao Hongjin and said with sincerity on his face: "Little Emperor, you really surprised me!" Originally, I thought that you would be influenced by the two powerful ministers of the court and China, and you would have some scruples about forming an alliance, but I didn't expect you to be so decisive and worthy of being the king of a country. Although you and I are of the same age, you already have the power of a king and the demeanor of a king. ”

This is clearly a rainbow fart, fueling the alliance between the two countries. However, people always like to listen to good words, not to mention that Zhao Hongjin sat on the throne at such a young age, and was naturally complacent and ambitious when he was praised so much.

Zhao Hongjin looks confident at the moment, and seems to be full of confidence in the future.

Since inheriting the throne, the national strength is exhausted, and he also feels that he is powerless, and now Jing Yuanguo is willing to provide all-round support to Nanzhao, which makes him see the hope of the country's future prosperity and prosperity.

"I can tell you right now that you have completed the first of your two missions. As for whether this second task can be completed, it all depends on your ability, if your strategy can successfully conceal Han Zeng, he will definitely conspire with the people of the Jingyuan Dynasty to further conspire with the people in the Jingyuan Dynasty to seize power, and at the same time, the two sides will definitely exchange military intelligence reports, so as to seek mutual military cooperation in the future. At that point, they will have their minds on the military power, and the slightest change will give us the opportunity to get the evidence. ”

At this time, looking at the high-spirited young emperor in front of him, Shao Xi could also understand his excitement, but he was restrained by two old men when he was a child, and now he finally pulled one of them into his camp, and he finally had the opportunity to display his ambitions and talents.

"I wonder when you're going to make it official? It is only when the two countries formally sign the covenant that the promises made on my pilgrimage will be fulfilled in a logical way. Personally, I think that this matter should be concluded sooner rather than later, and the early conclusion of the alliance will allow our saints to feel at ease as soon as possible, and your dynasty should start the commercial and trade exchanges between the two countries as soon as possible, so as to enhance the national strength and improve the people's livelihood as soon as possible. You have also been an emperor for more than ten years, and it is time for the people of Nanzhao to see the change. ”

Zhao Hongjin rubbed his hands and muttered for a moment, as if he was hesitating about what kind of conditions to use as a reply to Xiao Changyi, after all, the other party offered such generous conditions, and he couldn't empty his gloves white wolf, he always had to show some sincerity to show his determination to befriend him.

"As soon as I return to the palace, I will convene the ministers to deliberate, in order to respond to your court with the utmost sincerity. There will inevitably be a result of this matter before the banquet tomorrow afternoon, when I will announce in public the establishment of diplomatic relations between Nanzhao and Jingyuan at the banquet, and will officially hand over the covenant document to you as a national document. ”

Shao Xi nodded in agreement: "That's very good!" After I brought this covenant document back to Jingyuan Kingdom, I sent an official covenant document to your court from my pilgrimage, so that the two countries could be regarded as formally establishing friendly relations. ”

Zhao Hongjin didn't seem to be at ease, and asked Shao Xi a little tentatively: "Shao Xi, the conditions given in this secret agreement you handed over to me are too generous, are you sure that your dynasty can really fulfill these conditions as promised?" Can you help me confirm this matter after you return to Jing Yuanguo? ”

Shao Xi was entertained by Zhao Hongjin.

What kind of mindset is this? It's like a poor man getting rich. When a destitute person suddenly finds out that he has won the jackpot in the lottery ticket he bought, the most obvious emotion at first, apart from joy, is to wonder if it is true.

Such a big pie suddenly fell from the sky, and everyone would wonder if this pie could really be eaten in their mouths, and the impact of this huge surprise was exactly what Shao Xi wanted to achieve on this trip.

At the beginning, Shao Xi said to Xiao Changyi that if he wanted to impress Nan Zhao and change his position, he must promise heavy benefits. Only enough benefits will make people get carried away by the benefits, ignore the existence of potential crises, and thus produce a fluke mentality.

Once the other party has this mentality, they will continue like this and never look back.

The Jingyuan Empire, as the state of the Central Plains, wanted to form an effective control over the surrounding small states, and the use of this means was far more effective than sending troops to conquer and conquer by force.

"You can rest assured! My pilgrimage is a golden word, let alone a promise in the form of a document. The conditions written in this secret covenant will be fulfilled exactly, and if I can't do it, he will not order me to go over the mountains and wade through the rivers and send it to you thousands of miles away. How could I, the Jingyuan Dynasty, as a country of superior states, lose faith in my brothers and friends? Wouldn't that make you a laughing stock in the world? ”

After eating this reassuring pill sent by Shao Xi, Zhao Hongjin seemed to be a lot more relieved, and kept nodding his head, thinking that he was already convinced of this matter at this time?

At this time, the carriage had already arrived at the side gate of the palace, and Zhao Hongjin finally asked Shao Xi before getting off the car, "Although everything is ready now, you and I still need to remove the obstacles in the court, and this matter will all depend on you." However, I have always been a little worried, one day to eradicate Han Zeng and the others, the DPRK and the Central Government will be the only Fu Zuoliang faction, if he is the only one in the future, what if I lose control of him? ”

Shao Xixin said that this little emperor really didn't feel at ease with Fu Zuoliang.

However, this is better, the mutual suspicion of the monarchs and ministers in the Southern Zhao Dynasty will produce huge internal friction, and after Jingyuan State provides rich material conditions for Southern Zhao in the future, this conflict of interest will become more and more intense.

Now that he has asked his head, he can take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and deepen the inner rift between his monarchs and ministers. In this way, it is the most favorable situation for the Jingyuan Dynasty.

"Little Emperor, the main purpose of our cooperation in this scene is to hide from Han Zeng, so as to find an opportunity to eradicate him in the future. During this period, the bitter meat plan staged by the general was based on the appearance of being suppressed and excluded from the DPRK and the central government. Do you only see it as appearances? Is there anything more that can be done under this surface? Can you add your own plan to the plan for Han Zeng? Taking advantage of the time he left the capital, don't you want to win people's hearts and make some preparations for full control of the military power in the future? ”

Zhao Hongjin didn't seem to get any answers, but he seemed to get the answer he wanted, so he smiled meaningfully at Shao Xi, turned around and got out of the carriage and went back to the palace.

Shao Xi asked himself calmly and didn't give Zhao Hongjin any ideas, but just asked him a few questions. As for how he thinks about these questions, and what is his understanding of these questions? What will be done in the future? That's none of my business!

This is a classic rogue logic.

I'm not encouraging you to do anything, I'm just asking you if you want to do it, and it's your choice to do it or not. You did it, but I didn't make you do it.

In the end, no matter what the outcome is, you won't be able to find me when it comes to death.

Shao Xi united with Zhao Hongjin and Fu Zuoliang to propose a plan to deal with Han Zeng, which was a cooperative relationship formed between them due to entanglement of interests.

As for you, Zhao Hongjin, will you deal with Fu Zuoliang in the future? That's between the two of you.

After Zhao Hongjin got out of the car and left, the carriage turned around and headed in the direction of Xiangguofu.

Lao Wu leaned on the carriage, took a shallow sip of the deformed silver wine jug, and began to mumble to himself.

"Alas! At the beginning, people gave me this wine jug for me to drink, but now this wine jug has changed its shape and is really ugly, so one day I will take it to the silver shop and repair it well. Whether I cultivate it well or not, I can't blame the person who gave me the jug, after all, it was good when they gave it to me, and now it's only my own business to make it look like it. ”

Shao Xi also leaned back on the carriage, squinted at Lao Wu, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Old guy, do you understand yin and yang?" ”

Lao Wu snorted softly.

"Say I'm weird? Compared to you kid, I'm still a yin and yang weirdness? How much damage do you have to do if you bring the little emperor and the general together to deal with other people's own Xiangguo, and turn your ass and you pick up the little emperor to deal with the general? It can be seen that the little emperor already treats you as a friend, but now you still treat others as monkeys, so you can only say that he made friends carelessly! ”

The corners of Shao Xi's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was unwilling to accept Lao Wu's ridicule of him, and raised his eyebrows and replied, "Friend? He is the emperor of Southern Zhao, and I am a courtier of Jing Yuan, how can I be a friend? Who can guarantee that he is not calculating me while I am calculating him? The seat under his ass is destined to be impossible to be friends with me, and is there still a burden to do to someone who can't be friends? ”

Lao Wu glanced at Shao Xi in some surprise.

It has only been half a year since he took the young master into the Central Plains, but he obviously felt that he was different from before.

"Young master, you have changed."

"I know."

"You know?"

"Of course!"
