813 Unimaginable Hardship
When Yingwu's urgent secret message was delivered to Xijing City, Song Jue met with the messenger sent by Wanyan Ping in the Taichung Palace.
The purpose of the messenger was still to ask for help. Wanyan Ping learned to be smart this time. She did not hand a letter of help to the emperor like in the previous few times. Instead, she sent her closest guard to Xijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia, and personally explained his request to His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia.
In order to express her sincerity, Wanyan Ping even asked the messenger to bring a gift list. She told the messenger that once Daxia agreed to her request, the gift list would be a reward for Daxia. If Daxia had other requirements, as long as it was not too excessive, it would all come down. Even if the other party wanted several cities, there would be no problem.
Wanyan Ping thought it was pretty good. After this chaos, Jin, Xia and Liao all had to rest and recuperate, but maybe one day the war between the Three Kingdoms would be restarted and ceded to the city of Daxia. Maybe one day they would return to their Jin Kingdom, and even ask Daxia and Liao to compensate them for a few. Therefore, it doesn’t matter much to endure a moment of humiliation.
The messenger fully understood Wanyan Ping's meaning. With Wanyan Ping's instructions and expectations, after many twists and turns, he quietly arrived at Xijing, Daxia, found the envoy who was permanently stationed in Xijing, and conveyed part of Wanyan Ping's meaning to the envoy.
Although the envoy was helpless, because it was Wanyan Ping's request, he couldn't say anything. He could only do his best to successfully bring the messenger into the palace and introduce it to Song Jue.
After meeting Song Jue in Taichung Palace and explaining his purpose, the envoy hurriedly surrendered to Song Jue, fearing that his life would be lost if he stayed for a moment, and he would be vented his anger the next moment, and he would be rushed to the palace with the messenger.
He ran out of the palace like running away and walked to a relatively safe place. The envoy turned around and looked at it, sighing softly.
After living in Xijing for a long time, I stayed away from the vicious circle of Yiqing Mansion, and I became extremely sober. I could see people and things I couldn’t understand before, and I could figure out problems I couldn’t understand before.
Daxia... or Song Jue himself and his loyal ministers around him all dislike and hatred for Wanyan Ping. Although the envoy did not know where this disgust and hatred came from, his intuition told him that it was probably related to the case of the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion many years ago. He still remembered how sensational the case was in Xijing. What kind of role did Wanyan Ping play in that case? Although he was not in Yiqing Mansion, he could more or less calculate it from the letters of his friends.
Wanyan Ping still had such a deep hatred between them, and she was still delusional. It was really too whimsical to want Daxia to lend a helping hand to help her defeat those rebellious nobles. The Song family, Xue family, and Shen family were already doing good things to others if they didn't take any action at this time.
The envoy turned around and shook his head helplessly. The messenger asked for more blessings. Although the two countries were fighting and they would not kill the envoys, the people around Wanyan Ping would have a more or less similar temperament to her. If they anger Song Jue, don't blame him for taking the initiative and let this noble messenger go back and forth.
But the envoy never expected that when he was compassionate, the Taichong Palace was filled with a happy scene.
"Sinner Aliang, I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
"Get up!"
Song Jue raised his hand to Aliang who was kneeling on the ground and gently tapped the table. Three people turned out behind the screen of the imperial seat.
Seeing these three people, Aliang quickly saluted again.
"I have met the Duke, General, and Commander!"
Chen Cha walked to Aliang, looked up and down, and gently patted her shoulder.
"Thank you for so many years."
"I am not hard, this is what my subordinates should do." A Liang shook his head, took out a gift list from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Chen Cha. "This time I went to Beijing, it was the same thing as before. Wanyan Ping wanted to ask Daxia to send troops to help suppress the rebellious nobles."
"This is..." Chen Cha opened it and looked at it, frowned slightly, "Is this the reward for us?"
"Reward?" Bai Meng leaned over and took a look at her curiously, and curled her lips in disgust. "This sincerity is not enough. If you want to bribe us and work hard for her, you... are you willing to give this little? Does she look down on herself too much or too much on us?"
"Grand Commander, this is the limit." A Liang sighed, "Wanyan Ping's family is actually not as evil as it is rumored outside. Over the years, she has spent a lot of real money and silver on raising soldiers. The good things that Wanyan Zongcheng plundered were almost spent by her, and it is very difficult to keep them. However, before she came down, she also said that if Daxia wanted to propose other conditions, as long as it was not particularly difficult, she could agree."
"Isn't it particularly difficult?" Chen Cha looked at the gift list and sneered, "If I ask her to cede all the eighteen zodiacs bordering Daxia to Daxia, she would agree?"
"As long as it is not the 130 cities and counties around Yiqing Mansion, everything else can be done."
"Wow, big money, is this a lot of money?" Song Jue looked at A Liang, then Chen Haolin and the other two, and then looked at A Liang. "I don't think about making a comeback one day. Not only will these eighteen cities be taken back, but Daxia will also pay thirty-six, or even more?"
"Your Majesty is wise,"
"Wanyan Ping's heart is known to everyone, let alone us who have been dealing with us for so many years!" Song Jue sneered, "How is the situation with her? We have already asked for help, it can be imagined to be very difficult."
"It's very difficult. Your Majesty, the Duke of the Kingdom, the General, and the Commander in Xijing are unimaginable. You can't imagine what Yiqing Mansion is like now." Seeing Song Jue letting himself sit down, Aliang sued him and sat down in a proper manner. "The moment when the criminal returned to Daxia, he really felt what ice and fire were. The prosperity of Daxia formed a very sharp contrast with the Jin Kingdom at this moment."
"The floods, snow disasters, plagues at the end of last year, and the rebellion to the present..." Chen Haolin sighed softly, "The people of the Jin Kingdom are indeed living in dire straits. Those great nobles only care about fighting for power and profit, and do not care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people."
