"Brother Song, what do you think?" Liao Heng asked lightly. Song Che smiled and said, "General Han is the commander of the Beijing Division's defense, Lord Lu is the Yin of the Beijing Division, and Song is just a businessman, how can He De judge their faults?" Besides, there is no big contradiction between us, so it is better to let them invite me to this meal, and settle the grievances. ”

"Multi-...... Thank you Boss Song for your generosity! The father and son of the Lu family kowtowed in thanks. Han Yu kept a straight face, not looking very convinced.

Of course, he also has the capital to be unconvinced, who calls him the uncle of the current emperor?

"Your Majesty, there is news from the front post that the Hu envoy has arrived on the outskirts of the city." At this time, a herald came into Suyunzhai to inform.

He Qiu put down his chopsticks and got up to leave: "Your Majesty, Weichen will go to greet you." Liao Heng pushed him back to his seat,

"Just a few envoys, why do you need the prime minister to greet you?" He turned his head and said to Lu Tong and Han Yu: "General Han, set up the honor guard for three miles, you and Lord Lu will go to greet you together, and after receiving the Hu envoy, you can place them in the official post, and if you don't summon them, they will not be allowed to enter the palace to disturb." Han Yu and Lu Tong retreated.

"This group of Hu people is uninvited, right?" Song Che asked. Liao Heng glanced at Tang Hulu and the others.

Tang Hulu immediately understood, and took the merchants to get up and leave: "Then Boss Song, let's go find the inn first, and see you at the Mid-Autumn Festival." Song Che nodded.

Soon, Su Yunzhai was emptied, leaving only Song Che, Liao Heng, Jiang Yuntian, He Qiu and Gao Chen. Only then did He Qiu speak: "Due to the needs of war preparation, the tea and horse trade in the northwest is very heavy, if nothing else, these Hu people should be here to reap benefits." ”

"Profit?" Liao Heng said coldly: "Is my Great Liang Dynasty really a piece of fat? What kind of jackals, tigers and leopards want to come and take a bite. Song Che smiled: "Your analogy is really good, our Central Plains Dynasty has been a piece of fat in the eyes of these barbarians since ancient times." Now that we have just stabilized the war in Dijon, we are in a weak stage, and it is a little unreasonable for them not to come to reap the benefits. ”

"Humph!" Liao Heng threw the wine glass in his hand,

"You mean to say that we have to satisfy him for whatever he wants this time?" Everyone else was silent.

It can also be regarded as a default.

"Speak, you guys!" Liao Heng looked at Jiang Yuntian: "Brother Jiang, you say!" Jiang Yuntian held the wine glass, shook his head, and gently spit out three words: "I don't know." Liao Heng glared: "You don't know!" Jiang Yuntian looked up at the ceiling,

"Ah, I just don't know, it's okay for me to lead the troops to fight, you shouldn't ask me about this kind of conspiracy."

"He Qiu, you say!" Liao Heng looked at He Qiu again. He Qiu hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, the purpose of the Hu people's visit to Jinling this time has not yet been clarified, and it is too early for us to make a conclusion here." ”

"Needless to say? Uninvited, not good. Nine times out of ten, it is an excessive request, and it is also on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of my wedding! This is clearly an impudent provocation and a naked robbery! Liao Heng turned his head and glanced at Gao Chen who was standing on the side: "Lord Gao, what do you think?" Gao Chen bowed his head and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, what the Hu people want is only interests, and it doesn't hurt to sacrifice some." ”

"Oh? In the old dynasty, Lord Gao has always been the main battle, not peace, how did he change his tone when he arrived in my new dynasty? Liao Heng asked in a deep voice.

Gao Chen said: "Although Weichen has always been the main battle, but it is not an unreasonable war, now the new dynasty has just been established, the Central Plains has not yet recovered, the national strength is extremely weak, the northwest must not start a war again, not to mention, not to mention the ......" Liao Heng said:

"Something to say!" Gao Chen glanced at Song Che. Song Che nodded. Gao Chen said: "What's more, Your Majesty should know that there are not only Hu tribes in the northwest, but also Xiqiang, Tubo and other states, and Xiliang appeases Ma Wei to support his own army; The Xiliang army has always been chaotic, not only the Liang people, but also many people, if you can't find an excellent fighter, it's best not to stimulate them; Well...... All of the above are humble opinions of Wei Chen, His Majesty is wise and has his own wisdom. Liao Heng frowned.

The atmosphere was heavy for a while.

"Hey, what are you doing? A mere envoy from Fanbang makes you afraid? Song Che broke the silence, lifted the wine jug, poured wine with them one by one, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang Cai He also said that the envoys of the Hu people came this time, and the matter is related to the tea and horse trade, which shows that they are essentially here to do business," He picked up the wine glass, handed it to Liao Heng, and asked: "Let me ask Your Majesty, in this world, who else can do business better than Song?" Don't worry, don't worry. Liao Heng looked at the wine glass in front of him, nodded, and suddenly became enlightened: "I am full of Brother Song." ”

"Then hurry up and grab a cup, let's touch one together?"

"!"

"!" …… In the next few days, Song Che lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lingzhi was pregnant a month earlier than Shen Wenjun, and now she is more than eight months old-bellied.

Mother He begged the gods to worship the Bodhisattva all day long, held this originally disgusted daughter-in-law in the palm of her hand, and prayed that she could add a big fat grandson next month.

August 15, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Song Che and He Qiu rode together in a carriage and horse, and took all the merchants and more than a dozen congratulatory gifts to the Yongming Palace in Jinling to attend the banquet.

"Brother-in-law, you have to watch him, don't let him get drunk." When I went out, my wife confessed that she drank less and ate more vegetables.

He Qiu retorted: "When have I ever been drunk?" Lingzhi said, "Of course you don't know you're drunk, because you're always carried back." He Qiu blushed, a sentence

"Mouthy woman", ashamed to get into the carriage, urging to hurry up.

"In this way, the prime minister often goes out to socialize, and he is very prosperous." Song Che said with a smile. He Qiu sighed helplessly: "If you are in his position, if you want to do something, you must drink its wine, alas...... Acts of corruption. ”

"Thousands of years of wine table culture, I'm afraid it's unrealistic to want to break the line here," Song Che smiled again: "The new dynasty has a new atmosphere, and the new officials are newly appointed, it is the time when the prime minister is full of wings, so he can't be too gentle." He Qiu was disdainful and sneered, but he did not refute, only said: "Do you think they are all new officials?" Under the door of Zhongshu, in addition to a few chiefs, seventy percent of those below the fourth grade are officials of the original Shouchun Mansion, and when I am full-fledged, Han Zhang is afraid that he will already be able to fly. Song Che said with a smile: "This is called 'one person attaining the Tao and the chicken dog ascending to heaven'." He Qiu disdainfully: "The power is in my hands, a group of local chickens and dogs, it can't become any climate." ”

"Hmm...... It's like a prime minister! ”
