Chapter 280: Life is like a play, show off each other’s acting skills
Sure enough, when Wanyan Hao opened his mouth, he was the first to say: "Cousin Shen, first of all, on behalf of the Emperor Jin, I welcome your envoy! Although the Song and Jin countries have many contradictions, they also have many areas where they can unite. , we are neighbors and we should have love. If disputes are caused for no reason, the people of both places will naturally suffer!"
When Shen Tang heard this, his expression became serious!
He stood up and bowed to the north, and then said: "The emperor of your country is indeed broad-minded, and Shen Tang admires him! This time, I am sent to your country by the emperor's order, for the sake of peace and tranquility of our two countries. Only the two countries can work together. , Only then can we both seek peace!"
Of course, that's what they say, but maybe neither Shen Tang nor Wanyan Hao would believe the other's lies. Peace and stability? If the two countries of Song and Jin are really at peace and stability, then there is something wrong...
It's just that the words in the scene must be said to be perfect.
The two sat down again, and they seemed to be more harmonious.
Wanyan Hao personally poured wine for Shen Tang and asked, "So, what is the purpose of Brother Shen being ordered to go on a mission to our country?"
Shen Tang's expression moved slightly, and then he said with a look of compassion: "I dare not lie to my brother. Previously, due to some misunderstandings, the two countries started a war in the Sizhou area. Not to mention the casualties of the soldiers on both sides, the people of the entire Sizhou area , both Jin and Song people were all displaced, and the people were in dire straits. I am a kindhearted pilgrim, and I was faced with this situation just after I took the throne, and I was extremely worried."
"Fortunately, now that your country has withdrawn its troops, our soldiers of the Song Dynasty have no longer caused any disputes. Therefore, in order to prevent similar things from happening again, the Holy Emperor personally ordered me to go to your country to negotiate peace and eliminate the hidden dangers of war."
Shen Tang's words put a bit of joy on Wanyan Hao's face. If the Song Dynasty's purpose was the same as his own, then things would be much easier to handle. At least, even if someone wants to disrupt the situation, they have to see if the Song Dynasty is willing. I'd like to talk about it again. If it makes both parties unhappy, I'm afraid some people secretly will be a little more considerate.
"His Majesty the Emperor of your country is indeed kind and kind, and is on par with our Emperor. In this case, if the Emperors of the two countries are of the same mind, the people will naturally be at peace..."
After all, the two of them had a full drink!
Wanyan Hao said again, "Your country wants peace talks, which is naturally beneficial to both parties. Whether it is our emperor or the subjects, everyone naturally agrees with this matter. Therefore, Brother Shen does not need to listen to what others say when he goes this time. , as long as you meet the emperor of our country, everything will go smoothly."
After the words fell, Wanyan Hao saw that there was a look on Shen Tang's face that was somewhat hesitant to speak.
"Cousin Shen, you should treat me as your brother!" Wanyan Hao feigned anger and said.
Shen Tang was startled, "Brother Wanyan, why did you say this? I came to Daming Mansion, and my brother personally came to greet me and treated me cordially. How could Shen Tang not regard my brother as a brother? If it weren't for the emperor's mandate, Shen Tang would I almost want to stay in this famous mansion and listen to my brother’s teachings all day long.”
Life depends entirely on acting! At this moment, the two of them are obviously in the middle of a show. Although they may not even believe the punctuation after hearing what the other person said. However, in this weird atmosphere, But they can also get what they want to know, and that's enough.
"In that case, why don't you tell your brother that you have something on your mind? Are you looking down on me?" Wanyan Hao said.
Shen Tang was stunned at first, and then said with a wry smile, "How could this be? It's just that I still have a few things to ask for help from your emperor on my pilgrimage. For a moment, Shen Tang didn't know whether he should tell his brother. .”
"Ha ha……"
Wanyan Hao laughed loudly and said, "What do I mean? Since you and I have good relations, then your country's affairs are naturally our country's affairs. My emperor is always willing to help others, so how can he deny what your emperor wants?" ?Furthermore, since you and I are brothers, how can I stand by and watch your mission? If you can trust me, even though I am a bit thin-faced in front of the emperor, when the time comes, I will explain it to the emperor for you. …”
Shen Tang stood up immediately and looked at Wanyan Hao with great gratitude.
"It is a great fortune for Shen Tang to meet my brother during his trip to the north! Regardless of whether this happens or not, Shen Tang is grateful to his brother for his kindness. However, if there is any hindrance, my brother must not hate the emperor of your country. If my brother is in trouble, how can Shen Tang feel at ease?"
"Haha, brother, just say it..."
Naturally, Shen Tang would not hesitate any longer and said, "Brother, you should also know that it has been less than a year since our Holy Emperor took the throne. Not to mention the chaos in the court, there is also no peace everywhere! First there was a flood in Wuzhou, and then in Juzhou Drought. Not long ago, there was civil unrest in Fujian. The whole country could not make ends meet. I am not afraid of my brother’s jokes. Now, I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, only eat two meals a day, mainly coarse grains, porridge and water. Within the national treasury , it has already been completely wiped out..."
Speaking of this, Shen Tang even squeezed out a few tears!
However, after wiping his tears, Shen Tang suddenly said seriously, "Of course, I have unparalleled faith in my pilgrimage. Even if I don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, the annual coins I promised to your country will naturally not be reduced. However, When manpower is limited, even if the Holy One tries his best to raise money, there is still no clue about the amount of money. Alas, I am afraid that this time, our Holy One will break his trust in your country."
Shen Tang's emotional performance made Wanyan Hao almost vomit out the leg of lamb he had just eaten.
This... this shameless person turned out to be a scholar from the Song Dynasty? Or was he a top scholar? Could it be that the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty are no longer as good as poems and books, but more shameless?
Regardless of whether the Song Dynasty had money or not, even if it was really poor, even the emperor had to eat porridge?
However, this matter is neither small nor big. Although there is a lot of money in a mere yearly coin, it is not much compared to a country. More importantly, it is just a matter of face.
Even the emperor's secret message mentioned that if the Song Dynasty sued for peace, there could be a slight opening in terms of Sui coins.
Taking a deep breath to suppress his nausea, Wan Yanhao said to Shen Tang with a serious face, "Oh, now I know that brothers, you, the Southern Kingdom, are actually so miserable. In this case, it is easy to say that it is just a year old coin. Even if it is true It’s been cancelled…”
"Thank you, brother!" Shen Tang suddenly spoke, holding back the rest of Wanyan Hao's words, "If brother can persuade the emperor of your country to cancel the annual currency, hundreds of millions of people in our Song Dynasty will be grateful for your kindness."
After watching Yan Hao again, he opened his eyes wide and looked like he had eaten shit. I clearly said 'even', just as an analogy, but you actually took it seriously? Do you understand Chinese? Can you still have fun?
