Chapter 844: The Conversation Collapses
This trick was somewhat unkind, but Qin Feishi had never been a kind-hearted person, so after careful planning, coupled with the help of Zijin and Feng Zheng, that Tan Luo fell ill that night, his whole body broke out in a cold sweat, he couldn't stop shaking, and his heartbeat intensified, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The next day, I saw that many doctors were invited, and then one by one they shook their heads and left. There is no need to deliberately inquire, Liu Yunxiang knows how Tan Luo's disease is.
"This kind of poison is very similar to wind and cold after ingestion, the average doctor can't find out that it is poisoning, this symptom is very serious, taking the usual medicine will not be better, but getting worse and worse, presumably now he has a splitting headache, eager to smash his head." Qin Feishi leaned on the chair and said while sipping tea.
At this time, Feng Zheng also came back, saying that the local officials in Longcheng and those envoys were guarding outside, and the doctors invited all said that they were suffering from a cold, but the disease was too violent, and they really had no good way.
As soon as Feng Zheng's words fell, an envoy came to ask for a meeting.
Liu Yunxiang glanced at Qin Feishi, and then asked Feng Zheng to ask. Feng Zheng came back soon, and the envoy really came for Tan Luo's illness, and begged Qin Feishi to go and see their first assistant.
"You replied that this king also had a cold last night, and he was afraid that he would send his illness to Tan Shoufu and make him even sicker, so please ask them to invite another master."
Feng Zheng went back, and the envoy had no choice but to leave first.
"Wait, before noon, then Tan Luo will show up." Qin Feishi said firmly.
In fact, before noon, Tan Luo was supported by him, only to see that his face was pale, his lips were purple, his feet were soft, and his eyes were straight.
Liu Yunxiang pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly invited Tan Luo to sit down, "Tan Shoufu, this palace also said that during the peace talks yesterday, you deliberately did not show up, using illness as an excuse, but in fact you were delaying us, I don't want you to be really sick and so sick." ”
Tan Luo turned his head to look at Liu Yunxiang, took a long breath before saying, "The eldest princess thinks too much...... Minister...... How dare the minister...... Keeping you ...... It's really ...... Too sick......"
"Tsk, this palace believes it now."
"I heard that King Qing's medical skills are excellent...... Can you please ask him to rule the ...... for the lower officials?"
"Yo, unfortunately, he's sick too."
Liu Yunxiang said with a regretful face, and looked at this Tan Luo again, when he heard this, his face became even more ugly, probably because of his illness, he couldn't sit still. A man in his forties, looking at his size, should have been very strong, but at the moment he was sick and weak like a puddle of soft mud.
"If King Qing refuses to save the official...... The lower officials are only afraid that they will not survive today......"
"Why, it's just typhoid fever."
"This disease is too ......"
"Tan Shoufu should go back and rest, Xu will get better after a sleep."
Tan Luo trembled, "I'm just afraid that I'll fall asleep...... I'll never wake up again......"
"Yo, is it really that serious?"
"Yes."
"Then we can't talk?"
"No...... No...... Just wait for the official illness to be relieved...... Let's talk about it right away......"
"Is that decided?"
"Yes."
Liu Yunxiang got this, so he asked Feng Zheng to go inside to invite Qin Fei. Qin Feishi came out while coughing, first checked Tan Luo's pulse, and also learned from those doctors to shake their heads, Tan Luo was so frightened that his pupils were about to dilute when he saw him like this.
"It's not too difficult to treat, I'll write a prescription and send your people to grab the medicine, and then I'll boil the medicine myself, keep the two pairs of medicines, and your disease will be alleviated a lot."
"Then there is His Royal Highness King Lao Qing." Tan Luo said busily.
"The illness comes and goes, and the disease has to be slowly recuperated, but Tan Shoufu doesn't have to worry, anyway, we are all in this post house, just talk and treat the disease."
Tan Luo paused and said, "It's okay." ”
Tan Luo's people sent medicine, Qin Fei was boiling in the kitchen, and at the same time, someone was staring outside, probably afraid that he would be poisoned. After the medicine was boiled, Qin Fei handed it over to Tan Luo's people.
Feng Zheng sneaked a look, and said that Tan Luo was really cautious, let his subordinates taste it, and saw that he was fine, so he drank the medicine.
One at noon and one at night, then Tan Luo was much better.
The next day, the two sides finally sat down at the negotiating table. That Tan Luo's face is not very good, but compared to yesterday, it is much better.
"Is Tan Shoufu feeling better?" Liu Yunxiang asked.
Tan Luo bowed, "Thank you for your concern, and I want to write to His Royal Highness King Qing for healing, and the lower officials are already much better." ”
"That'll be fine." Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Since Tan Shoufu is unwell, then let's not beat around the bush in today's negotiations, and the palace will ask, is this family affair between the two countries still going on?" Can we still talk about the alliance? ”
As soon as these words came out, Tan Luo and several envoys on his side, you look at me, I will look at you, obviously they are not unified internally.
"Family affairs can also be carried out, and alliances can be discussed." Tan Luo Dao.
"Oh?"
Tan Luo was silent for a moment, and said: "After all, it is not our Beijin who is adjacent to the Southern Jin Dynasty, you are in a hurry, but we really can't be in a hurry, but thinking that the two countries are friendly, we can't stand idly by." ”
Speaking of this, Tan Luo took a sip of the teacup, "In the past, Beijin and Darong had a lot of verbal disputes because of the ownership of the boundary between Zhenbei and Zhenxi, and they were even more powerless. If you want to form an alliance now, you must be of one heart, and since you are of one heart, you must make these old things clear. ”
"How do you make it clear?"
"With the Yunmeng River as the boundary, the north belongs to our Beijin, and the south belongs to your Darong."
Before Liu Yunxiang could speak, Qin Feishi slapped his palm on the table, "Are you here to negotiate, let us Darong cede such a large piece of land, how can you have the face to say it!" ”
"King Qingwang ......"
"Shut up, this king should let you die of illness, save you from talking nonsense today!"
Tan Luo's face darkened, and he sighed: "This is not the idea of the lower officials, but the result of the deliberation of the ministers in the court, and the emperor also nodded, so how can you two scold the lower officials, the lower officials can't help it." ”
"No way!"
"Then there's no need to talk about it."
"You!"
"Needless to say, it's not up to you, and certainly not for us." Liu Yunxiang pulled Qin Fei to sit down, "Tan Shoufu, you can show your attitude to the imperial court, and we will also convey your conditions to the Darong imperial court, what do you say?" ”
"Of course, as it should be."
"But Tan Shoufu wants to convey our meaning clearly, for the Southern Jin Dynasty, we will not give up an inch of land, and for the Northern Jin, we will not give up an inch of land."
"Then you ......"
"There is no need to discuss this matter, the palace can call the shots, and what we want to convey to the court is that I am Darong bullied by Beijin like this, should I Darong cut off diplomatic relations with Beijin and form an alliance with affinity."
"Heh, don't forget that it was your Darong who begged for our alliance with Beijin."
"Have we begged you?"
"And what are you doing here?"
"Cooperation." Liu Yunxiang sighed heavily, "If cooperation fails, then don't cooperate." Beijin is indeed not in a hurry, but the Southern Jin Dynasty can definitely eat Beijin if it can eat Darong, and it is also the prey, what do you have to be proud of. Our Darong at least has the backbone and has done his best, but you Beijin will only end up with a 'stupid' word in the end. ”
After speaking, Liu Yunxiang got up and left, without dragging his feet in the slightest.
Back in the backyard, Qin Fei picked his chin at Liu Yunxiang, "Let's talk about it, right?" ”
Liu Yunxiang shrugged, "They are clearly talking about it." ”
"Really."
To the north of the Yunmeng River is their Da Rong's border defense line, there are several passes, if the large area of land north is ceded to Bei Jin, it is equivalent to the north of Da Rong The gateway is wide open, just like a soldier taking off his armor and having no defense. What's more, the Yunmeng River nurtures a large area of fertile soil on both sides of the river, and it is an important grain producing area in the northern part of the border, and it is impossible for the Darong Imperial Court to agree, so it will definitely collapse.
"I'm wondering, since this negotiation is meaningless, why did Leng Yufei send a cabinet chief to talk."
Totally unnecessary!
