Chapter 630: Yang Zhengshi, who received tea to relieve his worries
It was a bit surprising for them to meet Yang Mingzhi on the street today. This was their big customer.
The eyes of Xu Qing and the Minister of Hubu suddenly lit up. How could this be a peace negotiator? This was clearly just small money!
Xu Qing is a little better. Anyway, the peace negotiation money has nothing to do with the half penny of their Guo Shang Yuan, but the Ministry of Accounts is different!
In addition to the expenses of His Majesty's internal government, that is, the salary paid to His Majesty by the national treasury...
Yes, that's right, the emperor cannot squander the treasury's money casually, otherwise he will be scolded as a coward, and he will be scolded for a long, long time.
For example, in his previous life, Xu Qing knew an old lady who used military funds to celebrate her birthday. She was really good at playing. Look, she is still nailed to the pillar of shame. She is so miserable when she is scolded.
It’s not uncommon to see people fighting against the enemy, but this is the first time I’ve seen people fighting against themselves.
Could it be that the old lady wanted to overthrow the dark feudal monarchy at that time?
In addition to the fact that His Majesty’s Imperial Household may benefit from Zhou’s indemnity this time, all the money belongs to their Ministry of Household Affairs!
From the treasury!
Although he is not the Minister of Hubu, it is under the control of his Hubu!
When I meet customers on the street, I am naturally filled with joy.
During the most difficult time in Chu State, I met such a rich man who gave me money!
Who can't be excited about this?
However, Mr. Yang is a bit thin, not in terms of his clothes, but in terms of his clothes, he didn't bring any bodyguards with him on this trip, and he seemed to be in a dull mood.
How much better can peace talks between a defeated country make one feel better?
This is normal.
Xu Qing looked at Yang Mingzhi and said, "Why is Mr. Yang so excited to go shopping today?"
Yang Mingzhi glanced at Xu Qing, sighed and said, "I can't talk about Yaxing. I just went out for a walk to relax."
The Minister of Hubu said: "Master Yang has finally come to Chu State, why not find a teahouse and let us show our friendship as landlords."
Yang Mingzhi thought about it and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
The Minister of Hubu extended his hand and said: "Master Yang, please."
Yang Mingzhi also raised his hand slightly: "Master Zheng, please, Dean Xu."
Not far from here is a first-class teahouse in the capital, specially used to entertain dignitaries.
Xu Qing was very familiar with this teahouse. Although he had never been there once, a princess who was so poor that she couldn't even afford ten taels of silver wanted to invite him to drink tea here.
Counting the days, Li Mingyue has been gone for several months, and I don't know how she is doing in Zhou Kingdom.
But with a brother like Li Xun who possesses sister-control attributes, there shouldn't be any problems. I think Xu Qing did a lot of supporting his brother back then.
If he doesn't take care of Mingyue until he is healthy and fat, is he worthy of him as an investor?
In the eyes of some younger sisters, an elder brother is like a father, and the elder brother enjoys the feeling of protecting a sister who is so dependent on him, and over time, he unconsciously develops the attribute of controlling his younger sister.
Just look at Li Xun and you will know...
In the eyes of other younger sisters, their elder brothers are like enemies, and they want to fight whenever they meet. Such older brothers will be wise enough not to go against their younger sisters, and their status in the family will become lower and lower over time...
Just look at Xiao Ye and you will know...
Originally, it was normal for peace negotiators from two countries to get together offline and talk about work.
Where can you get a client and just sit in a conference room and talk?
You don't even know when a customer runs away.
Although this customer will not run away, it is always right to maintain the necessary courtesy.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is not taking a break today. He originally just wanted to show off his friendship as a landlord, drink two cups of tea, eat a few cakes, and then talk about the project by the way. It was all a preview. After that, everyone talked to each other.
Say goodbye and don't disturb your work.
Who would have known that today this shameless Zhou Guoren drank two pots of tea and ate a plate of pastries without any intention of stopping.
Two pots of tea were drank by this man and he drank the same vicissitudes of life as two jars of wine.
Here comes tea to soothe my sorrows...
The tea here is very expensive, okay?
Of course, being expensive is not the most important thing. The important thing is that he, the Minister of Household Affairs who is in charge of the world's money and food, is still busy and has no time to waste time with him here.
But in the beginning I invited people to come for tea, and now it’s hard to drive them away.
So the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue knew that he would say goodbye and leave first, letting Xu Qing accompany the guests slowly. Anyway, he knew that her junior brother had nothing to do all day long.
After the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance left, Xu Qing was left alone to stare at the Zhou Dynasty peace envoy as he poured cup after cup of tea into his stomach. After that, he didn't even have to go to the toilet...
Can you hold it in?
According to the plan, he should go to find a cute little loli like Xiao Ruxue to arrange the sect that she cherishes, instead of watching the peace envoy drink tea here.
Xu Qing looked at Yang Mingzhi who was pouring tea into his mouth with a sad look on his face and said, "Is Ambassador Yang worried?"
Yang Mingzhi sighed and said, "Dean Xu's observation is quite keen."
When Xu Qing heard this, he could only give him an awkward but polite smile, because this matter does not require any keen observation at all, everyone can see it...
If you can drink tea and feel the vicissitudes of wine, then you will have ghosts if you don’t have any worries?
Xu Qing said: "Our two countries are good neighbors and friends. Ambassador Yang might as well explain it. Maybe I can help Ambassador Yang clear up his doubts."
"Dean Xu is too polite." Yang Mingzhi sighed and said, "This is His Majesty's direct attack on my Yang family. How can others explain my confusion to my Yang family?"
Xu Qing asked curiously: "Even the queen of your country is the legitimate daughter of the Yang family. The emperor of your country should rely on the talents of the Yang family. How could he attack the Yang family?"
The Yang family is very prosperous. It can be regarded as a century-old family in the Zhou Dynasty, and there are many talented people.
Not to mention the emperor, even the imperial court sent two of them away.
But since it is an aristocratic family, it is a thorn in the flesh of the emperor. The bigger the aristocratic family, the more painful it is.
So Emperor Zhou, who relied on the Yang family to secure his throne, finally began to take action against the behemoth Yang family.
This is what it means to let the Yang family be the peace envoys this time. It is to gradually suppress the power of the Yang family in the government and the opposition, and when it matures, it is allowed to use thunderous means.
However, the Yang family's counterattack against the monarchy had little effect.
Xu Qing could tell from Yang Mingzhi's expression that the Yang family had no intention of rebellion. If they had any intention of rebellion, they would not be depressed now. Those who should win over people's hearts should win over people's hearts, and those who should be forced into the palace should be prepared to force them into the palace.
Okay, is there any point in drinking tea here to soothe your worries?
Get moving!
But it doesn't matter whether they rebel or not. The power of the Yang family is now so great that it exceeds the tolerance limit of a king. Even if they don't have the idea of rebellion, they have the ability to force the emperor to marry them. This is their crime!
Xu Qing doesn't have any bad feelings towards the Yang family. Although the Yang family had a fool deputy envoy at the beginning, he has gone to report it below. It is abnormal for a family to have few fools and scum when it is big.
As long as the Yang family doesn't surrender to the enemy and doesn't do stupid things like attracting foreigners into the Central Plains, we can sit down and talk about anything slowly.
So Xu Qing began to make suggestions to the Yang family: "Hasn't Yang Zhengshi ever thought about joining the army?"
