Is it a national teacher, or Song Jae-eun?

Jiang Che also seems to have an understanding of the government and the opposition of the Dongqian Empire, and knows that Song Zaien was almost stripped of power by the Dongqian National Division.

When An Pu heard this, he couldn't help but think about it carefully. It's just that there is a lack of intelligence, and I really don't know about the mysterious national teacher.

The most familiar thing is to advise the former lord of the Dongqian Empire to assassinate countless sons of reincarnation in the year of the Great Era.

He said: "I think it was probably made by the two of them. As far as I know, although the Shura Hall belongs to the jurisdiction of the Dongqian royal family.

But the national teacher has long held the powerful institution of the Shura Hall tightly in his hands, and once Song Zaeen wants to attack him, the Shura Hall will threaten the throne and even the royal bloodline at the first time. ”

Jiang Che agreed: "That's right, although Song Zaien has long been dissatisfied with the national teachers forming a party and holding power for their own purposes, he will not let the interests of the Dongqian Empire be weakened.

Our response, then, should be to refuse to open trade with them. With the full support of the Treasure Foundry, our ordnance can be guaranteed to be worry-free, so why trade with them?"

An Pu poured Jiang Che a small half cup of tea, and then also poured a small cup for himself, and after moistening his tongue, he continued: "Your Highness, do you know that although our ordnance is worry-free, most of the minerals used to make ordnance are located in the Dongqian Empire.

Once Dongqian starts a war against us, I'm afraid that the Treasure Treasure Garden will also be powerless. Therefore, our first choice in this trade was to reduce the taxes of the blacksmiths and ensure that they had a constant supply of raw materials for casting. ”

Jiang Che couldn't help but rub his temples, such a dilemma made him have a splitting headache.

It also needs the resources of the Dongqian Empire, but it also needs to prevent the Shura Hall from taking root in the Nanliu Kingdom, so I am afraid that I will really have to think about it.

Seeing Jiang Che like this, An Pu knew that the latter must be the sequelae of alcoholism, and it was caused by too much thought.

He actually had a solution in his heart, but it was difficult to speak, so he said, "Your Highness, why don't you talk to Your Majesty?"

Jiang Che's head suddenly sobered up, and he said with a smile: "Haha, I'll just say, how could I forget such a thing? Father and Emperor are far-sighted, and there must be a way, otherwise they would not have sent someone from the Dongqian Empire to consult." ”

An Pu kicked the ball to the lord of the country, and he was happy in his heart, and now he was afraid that he would be able to show his strength again.

He said: "Without further ado, we will negotiate tomorrow, and we will go to see Your Majesty?"

Jiang Che put down the big stone in his heart, his heart was very comfortable, and said with a smile: "Naturally, otherwise it is not a good thing to sharpen the knife in battle." ”

After that, Jiang Che and An Pu went to the lord's bedroom.

Most of the weather in Nanliu Kingdom is sunny, and today is the middle of the summer moon, and the white jade plate in the night sky slowly rises, shining in the palace of Nanliu Kingdom.

The surrounding flowers and trees are more vibrant, and the golden temple is brighter.

The Prince's Mansion is in the same direction as the Lord's Longevity Palace, and it can be reached by bypassing the Lord's usual office study.

At this time, in front of this Wanshou Palace, two oblique shadows hurriedly walked to the fire, and saw two teams of heavily armored guards patrolling the four sides of the Wanshou Palace at the door, and there were also guards under the eaves of the house, holding three steps and one post, holding war knives.

"Stop, who's coming?" said a man who looked like a general.

Although the night is bright, it is night after all, and it is impossible to see people's faces twenty paces away.

As the comers gradually approached, the general hurriedly knelt on one knee, bowed to his chest, and said, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Jiang Che saw through the window screen and the crack of the door, and found that there was still light inside, and he knew that his father was not sleeping.

He stood with his hands in his hands, and said in a dignified tone, "Excuse me, get up and speak." ”

"Wow. ”

Jiang Che said: "Go to your majesty, the crown prince Jiang Che led General An Pu to ask for a meeting." ”

"The last will obey. ”

Knock knock!

At this time, the general had already knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince and General An ask to see you." ”

With that, he took three steps back, bowed his head respectfully, and waited for an answer.

In the breathing room, the door was open.

A waiter who was about the age of confusion appeared in front of several people, bypassed the generals, and came to Jiang Che and the others.

He bent down and saluted and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I've seen Commander An." ”

Jiang Che knew who it was, it was his father's chief attendant, named He Wansheng, who accompanied the king all the year round.

Jiang Che said: "Chief Manager He, I ask to see you late tonight, I really can't do it, can my father allow me to see the two of you?"

He Wansheng raised his head, but his waist was not straightened, which was a sign of respect. He said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty was about to go to bed, and when I heard that you were coming, I ordered the old slave to invite the two of you in. ”

Jiang Che and An Pu glanced at each other, smiled, and said, "Lead the way." ”

He Wansheng moved his position, stood in front of Jiang Che's right, stretched out his hand, and said, "Please." ”

The three of them walked up the twelve steps and came to the door, and He Wansheng shouted: "Tell Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Commander An ask to see you." ”

Although the lord of the country has already ordered to go down, invite Jiang Che and the others to come in. But the rules in the palace are the rules, and you have to report when you enter the door.

As He Wansheng's voice fell, a tired voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

He Wansheng signaled, pushed open the door, and stretched out his hand to invite the two of them in.

When Jiang Che and An Pu walked in, He Wansheng closed the door lightly and stayed outside, waiting for orders.

He also knows that there are some things that he should never know. Otherwise, it will be difficult to guarantee the head.

Growing up in the palace since he was a child, he has served the lord of the country for some years, and he knows the doorway best. Especially the temperament of the lord of the country, he has all figured it out.

He knew that Jiang Che and An Pu must have something to discuss when they met at this time, so he said to the general of the forbidden army: "Commander Su, the lord of the country has an order, ten steps away from Wanshou Palace." ”

This is to prevent them from hearing what is being said.

Commander Su was not surprised, this situation often happened, and with a wave of his hand, the guards stationed around the Wanshou Palace moved one after another.

On this night, An Pu and Jiang Che jointly formulated a plan with Jiang Fu, the top decision-maker of the Southern Ryuk Kingdom, to open a series of plans for the opening of trade gates between the eastern and southern countries.

The next day, the beginning of the hour.

A temple that symbolizes the highest power, the Tailing Hall.

This was the center of the Nanryuki regime.

The twelve totem columns in front of the hall are carved with the twelve zodiac signs, symbolizing the twelve hours. Above the main entrance, there is a huge plaque five feet long and three feet four inches wide, which is vividly carved and painted with two auspicious dragons driving the clouds and mist, and in the middle is the three words of "Tailing Palace".

Today's day is very special, and the morning pilgrimage on weekdays has been temporarily suspended. The four gates of the Tailing Hall are all open, with a radius of ten miles, except for the guards of the forbidden army stationed there, no one is allowed to approach, and those who violate the order will not be killed.

There were four hundred and eight guards of the Praetorian Army, including the chief and deputy commanders of each team, and one hundred and two people in each team.

They were heavily armed, with a Forbidden Army-style sword on their left side, an iron spear in their right hand, and silver armor.

This armor is a good product, with a hood on the top of the head, left and right phoenix wings and eyebrows, and red tassels painted nails. The armor, skirt armor, and robe armor are all made of fine iron. The shoulder swallowing beast and the belly swallowing are gilded, and its shape makes people feel cold.

This is a good pair of fine iron chain mail with a dragon's head and phoenix wings, this is an elite forbidden army. This forbidden army is known as the Heavy Armor Praetorian Guard, also known as the Silver Armor Army, and is responsible for defending the lord of the Nanliu Kingdom.

The total number of them was only fifteen hundred, and now more than four hundred people were selected to come to the Tailing Palace. In order to ensure that the consultations between the East and the South are normal and not disturbed, the importance of this consultation is self-evident.

In the Tailing Palace, on the throne, Jiang Fu, the lord of the Nanliu Kingdom, was sitting. On the right is the crown prince Jiang Che, smiling, as if last night's troubles had been well resolved.

Standing in the lower left is the chief officer of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and in the lower right is the chief military officer of the border pass and the chief officer of the border pass of the two countries in the east and south.

This consultation did not involve too many people, but only brought people into the meeting

Wait to be called.

Even Anpu, who is highly valued, has not yet been able to appear. An Pu commanded the Heavy Janissary Guard, the Iron Cavalry, the Jingnan Provincial Defense Army, and the Dingnan Guard, which was formed last year, and was not the commander of the border guards.

Therefore, his absence was a matter of course.

After a while, Jiang Fu, who was sitting on the throne, opened his mouth and instructed He Wansheng, who was waiting below, and said, "The Xuandong Qian delegation is here. ”

"Wow. ”

He Wansheng faced Jiang Fu and took ten steps back before turning around and going out.

In the middle of breathing, he came back again, followed by Song Zaixu, Tu Tianlu, and a thin middle-aged man who looked like a civil official.

He Wansheng bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Dongqian delegation is here." ”

After finishing speaking, He Wansheng gave up his position, and Song Zaixu behind him tidied up his clothes, bowed his hand, and said: "Song Zaixu, the king of the Dongqian Empire, has seen the lord of Nanliu State, and I wish the lord of the country to last forever, and the country will be rich and the people strong." ”

Oh, this interview is really good.

The country is rich and the people are strong, and the Dongqian Empire can't wait for Nanliu to be a docile little sheep, and kill it whenever it wants.

But after all, it was a scene, Jiang Fu, as the head of a country, would definitely not care about Song Zaixu's words, and said: "As King Changhuai said, Nanliu Kingdom has become more and more rich and powerful in recent years, and the wind and rain are smooth. However, compared with the vastness of your country and the wealth of its people, our Nanliu country is still very ashamed. ”

Song Zaixu showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The lord of the country is too modest, the people of your country are good at fishing and farming, and the grain produced is superior." This also makes the people of our country beyond the reach of the dust!

Therefore, for the sake of the well-being and the better life of the people of the two countries, His Royal Highness Zhenlong of our country has sent this king to negotiate with your country on the matter of opening customs clearance. ”

The two of them were polite to each other, and now they finally got to the crux of the matter.

Jiang Fu didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said, "Okay, come here, and give the seat to King Huai of Dongqian." ”

Song Zaixu paused slightly, and instantly returned to a polite smile, and said, "Thank you." ”

Subsequently, He Wansheng commanded the two attendants to move a chair from the side hall and asked Song Zaixu to sit down.

Jiang Fu pondered for a while, opened Chrysostom and said: "There is a matter of customs clearance, which I have already roughly understood from the letter of the lord of your country.

And two years ago, there was a great drought in your country, and the official warehouses in many places were emptied one after another, and the support of the Northern Ling Kingdom could only solve the urgent need at that time.

That year, tens of thousands of people died from drought. This has made your lord miserable, and he has fallen ill again and again.

Therefore, after showing compassion for the people of Lebanon, we will learn a lesson. Your country is in dire need of a channel from which to introduce planting techniques and trade routes. In the event of a natural disaster, it can be solved calmly.

Grain cultivation technology is a problem that you must solve at the moment, King Changhuai, is what the lord of the country said right?"

It seems that Jiang Fu is fully prepared, and even the predicament of the Dongqian Empire is clear.

In this way, he will be able to get the initiative, and he will be more smooth about what is going on.

When Jiang Fu's words fell, the courtiers of Nanliu Kingdom and even the crown prince Jiang Che rose with joy in their hearts.

The snake hit seven inches, and Jiang Fu just grabbed the seven-inch position of the snake of the Dongqian Empire.

If you want to negotiate, yes, I'll analyze what you urgently need first, and then slowly bargain with you.

Song Zaixu's smile was already frozen on his face, he knew that what Jiang Fu said was true, the Dongqian Empire was indeed in urgent need of grain planting technology, and it needed a large amount of grain and grass to fill the military camp.

Because it's not just about preventing natural disasters**, it's about preparing for their ambitions.

Originally, the fishing and farming of the Dongqian Empire was quite passable, but since the national teacher took office, he repeatedly admonished the former lord of the Dongqian Empire, that is, Song Zaixu's father. The admonition to expand the military force led to the selection of one of the three dings for military service, a large reduction in fishing and farming, and the lack of reserves in the official granary, which led to the tragic incident of more than 10,000 deaths in the drought two years ago.

Song Zaixu sank into the sea, but he didn't expect Jiang Fu to take this matter first, and replied: "What the lord of the country said is right, and your country ...... Doesn't it seem to have a lack of resources?"
