Fengliang County is close to the river. There are many white walls and red tiles. These are the homes of wealthy families. The streets are lined with merchants and are very lively. At this time, the Duke of Han enters through the city gate. Although the Duke of the Han Dynasty is not the king,
, but it is no small matter.
In addition, this time we are on an equal footing with the Prince of Qing, so it is very grand.
Just listen to the sound of bells and drums, the sound of music, and the crowds of people along the way, all of them watching the fun. Looking up, I saw green umbrellas and flags coming.
The carriages were rolling and rolling, and two hundred and forty guards were guarding them from the front and back, walking slowly in groups. The cold light shone in the sun. Although the people did not kneel down and prostrate themselves at this time, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared, but they were all solemn. Although they watched, they did not dare to
Noisy.
Ye Qing was sitting in the car without saying anything. He just looked at the flow of people through the window, silently, thinking that the people's energy in this city was actually yellow energy, and there was not much.
But Fengliang County is the capital of Xiangzhou, and Xiangzhou is still incomplete. Now that it has returned, Yingxiang has truly been merged into one. This cannot be underestimated.
Just as he was thinking about it, at the gate of the state capital, someone watched Ye Qing's motorcade approaching. The officials waiting at the gate had expressionless faces and turned into statues.
When the prefect Kou Siming saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, with a wry smile on his face. He originally relied on Prince Xin, but he didn't want to have to withdraw now. It really felt like he was in another world.
You know, now that Han and Cai are divided, those who are willing to stay are Han ministers, and they can no longer be muddled. Kou Siming is a minister of Cai, and he murmured: "Hey, current events have changed... I will go in and report to the king."
He turned around and entered the attic. In front of the steps, he said to Prince Xin, who was sitting firmly on the attic, "Your Majesty, someone is here."
Prince Xin actually saw the motorcade from the attic. He narrowed his eyes and sneered: "It's so grand."
But he did not dare to speak out, or even express his dissatisfaction with the cession of Fengliang County, because he heard news from the court that this was the intention finalized by Prince Yu and the Duke of Han in Guzhou.
It seems that in order to avoid the farce of the princess last time, the delay in the Xiangbei Incident caused a wedge between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. Prince Yu attached a personal letter: "...the second time Cai Han negotiated peace, the situation was different, and the balance of power between the two sides was also different. In order to ensure that
I have lost some of my heavenly companions after I have achieved great results, and I can no longer withstand the farce like Brother Qing did last time. Please bear with the humiliation for the sake of the overall situation."
"Is it my turn to sacrifice for the overall situation?" Prince Xin's face turned dark when he thought of this letter.
Unfortunately, he plotted against his brother Prince Qing to go to Dongzhou, and plotted against his powerful enemy Ye Qing to trap him for three years. He worked diligently to intervene in Xiangzhou, but when he arrived, he had to be the victim of an exchange of interests for a more powerful brother. Several years of hard work fell to the ground.
Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain
What an ironic result
But the hatred in his heart returned. This time, the imperial court did not give him any independent authority. The treaty had already been agreed upon by Prince Yu. Prince Xin felt that he was an abandoned pawn and had lost all his face, but he still had to sign it.
But there was still some time at this time, so King Xin asked: "Have all the food and supplies been prepared?"
Kou Siming hurriedly leaned over and replied: "Go back to your lord, there are 100,000 stones in the grain depot. They have been transported out and are on the river. However, the rice storehouse, which is a big store of grain, is selling at the current rice price, but some people are taking the opportunity to drive up the price and hoard it."
Prince Xin glanced at Kou Siming, stood up, took a few steps, stood at the window and looked at the motorcade in the distance, and said: "These people will be left to their own devices - you are quite experienced in doing things. You will personally escort them later."
"Don't worry, this non-war crime is not your responsibility. You will still need a fourth-grade silver when you go back?"
Kou Siming said: "There are still 117,000 silver in the state treasury, which has been loaded onto the truck. May I ask, Your Majesty, how much will be moved out in the end?"
Prince Xinjun heard this and saw someone coming in to report again. He just nodded and said coldly: "Take one hundred thousand, and the remaining seventeen thousand taels of silver will be given to the Duke of Han. You don't have to welcome him. You can just load it on the ship."
"Yes, yes, yes." Kou Siming agreed repeatedly. Seeing that he was speechless, Nuonuo hesitated and stepped back. Only then did King Xinjun look up to the sky and laugh: "Go out alone to meet the Duke of Han."
At this time, the carriage was almost at the door.
"Open the middle gate and fire cannons to greet them," King Xinjun said quickly.
In an instant, Prince Xin's careless demeanor was gone, showing his majesty and calmness. When he arrived at the door, there were almost three cannon shots, and the Han Dynasty bus was arriving.
When the officials at the gate saw Prince Xin and the Duke of Han, they all knelt down and saluted. They got out of the carriage. When they saw Prince Xin wearing royal robes, they stopped five or six steps away. They clasped their hands and said, "I have seen the prince."
These words were not considered respectful. The officials at the door lowered their heads and did not dare to take a serious look.
Prince Xin had no expression on his face. He stared at Ye Qing, smiled suddenly, stretched out his hand and said, "Please come in, Duke of Han, to play music."
As the drum music played, Ye Qing and Prince Xin walked side by side. Officials, big and small, all sweating through their clothes, followed the two back to the main hall and stood separately below.
"The emperor has appointed me to take charge of this matter. I think the Duke of Han must be aware of it." After the two sat down and served tea, Prince Xin said calmly: "Then let's get down to business.
After saying this, Ye Qing looked at the officials standing solemnly below with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty is a well-known wise king in both the government and the public. I met him once in the imperial capital. It's been a few years and we only met again this year. It's really a pity."
"But business matters are indeed important. Please give me your permission." These words were lukewarm and calm. Prince Xin did not feel the slightest awe in it and felt quite uncomfortable. However, after thinking about it carefully, the Duke of Han was now
He who was not a Jinshi at that time, or even a Marquis of Han Dynasty, could indeed compete with him.
He coughed lightly and said, "In that case, come here and sign the bookmark."
Two officials entered. The roll was very simple, with dragon patterns on it, and was golden yellow. Of course there is no such set on earth, but here there are courts and vassal states, and territories are often delivered, so there is this kind of ceremony - it is not an imperial decree.
, it was not an ordinary official document. Upon seeing this, Prince Xin looked at Ye Qing with a scrutinizing gaze and sipped his tea again.
Ye Qing unfolded it and took a look. There were not many words inside, but there was already a jade seal on it. Between big countries, trickery would not work, so he smiled, rolled up his sleeves, held his pen, signed, waved his hand, and stamped the seal.
.
Prince Xin took it and looked at it carefully, and saw that the seal was "Ordered by Heaven, and he will live forever". He couldn't help but twitch the muscles on his face, his eyes drooped, and there was a glimmer of coldness. Then he sighed and signed.
As soon as the "Boom" fell, the rolling yellow air of Fengliang County began to change, breaking away from Cai Chao and Prince Xin and entering another system.
Seeing this situation, King Xinjun was already very depressed after signing the peace treaty. However, in order to prevent the court from mistakenly thinking that he was harboring resentment, he had to act like a loser and behave like a loser... He couldn't think about it any more.
There was even more resentment.
I felt like I was missing something, so I didn't say anything. I stood up and walked a few steps, staring out the window, and felt Xiangzhou shake again.
His luck did not increase much, but his luck became much more stable and orderly. He was even more secretly depressed. After a long time, he turned his gaze to Ye Qing again. His voice became a little hoarse, but there was a smile on his face. He took the initiative to talk to Ye Qing in a low voice.
: "The public skills of the Han State are superior. I, Cai Anxin, will admit defeat in this game. The matter in Fengliang County ends here. Xiangzhou will be the Duke of the Han State from now on. You and I live next to each other. There were some frictions in the past. This and
Just like the small conflicts between neighbors, in the face of large-scale attacks from foreign lands, we should put aside our past grudges and work together in the same boat."
"There are no unbroken eggs when the nest is overturned. Both the Cai and Han families are ministers of the heaven. They should fulfill their overall responsibilities and not do anything that would make their relatives angry and their enemies happy." Ye Qing also laughed in a low voice, and there was no pain in his words.
I would like to ridicule the imperial court's recent blood-drawing strategy of using private affairs to cover public affairs.
Prince Xin didn't know whether he heard it or not, but his expression didn't change: "The Duke of Han is worthy of being an anxious and righteous man. He is really thoughtful."
"Ha ha……"
The two shook hands and laughed, the magic light crackled and the ground shone.
However, it was two dedicated photographers from "Yingxiang Daily" and "Anxia Daily" who held up audio and video stones to record this historical scene that symbolized the restoration of normal relations between the two huge forces in the ten downstream states.
Soon, the image was exported through the array, typed and formatted, distributed to printing workshops in various places, and printed with ink on tomorrow's newspapers, and then delivered to the public through cooperative restaurants, teahouses, brothel distribution points and even newsboys selling newspapers.
In this age where the lack of information makes reading newspapers a kind of entertainment, most people will only see a successful harmonious and friendly meeting. Internal peace finally comes, and most people cheer and feel relieved.
However, a small number of knowledgeable people can always keep the alarm in their hearts. Hanchen, who teamed up to discuss the Cai-Han friendly peace treaty, recalled the twenty years of peace agreed on paper and shook his head: "This is no peace at all.
This is just an anticipated twenty-year truce."
Ye Qing also laughed. It wouldn't even take twenty years. As long as the external pressure changes and the situation changes, the two sides will immediately fall out and stab each other with knives at any time - are you afraid that you can't find an excuse?
"But no matter what, the Cai Dynasty and the related Tu-German market were fully opened. Unfortunately, it was three years too late, leaving us little time..."
This time, Ye Qing was the master, and he also looked secretly.
I can only see the rolling red and yellow luck flowing into the main stream of Xiangzhou on the ground. If you follow it, you will find a straight pillar of light, which seems to be a little bigger and a little higher.
"Yingxiang has merged." Ye Qing listened to someone reporting that the warehouse was almost empty, and smiled casually: "Ji Caizhu, you are staying in this county temporarily to preside over the delivery. The lack of food, silver, and even soldiers and armor,
The transportation will come from Nanlian Mountain. My convoy will return first. I will stay in Xiangyin County for two days, take care of things and then return to Nanlian Mountain.
"Also, out of etiquette, I have to act as the master and deliver the letter to the king when he leaves the city. We just happened to do it together."
"yes"
As King Xinjun's troops left the city, Ye Qing's motorcade also left the city. The two motorcades parted ways at the city gate, heading northwest and southeast, each going their own way.
The only difference in mood was that Prince Xin was gritting his teeth, but Ye Qing didn't think about him anymore.
Prince Xinjun succeeded the imperial court and failed the imperial court. Can An be compared with what he is now?
