In the evening of the next day, Shao Fang and his team arrived in Wancheng and stayed one night in Wancheng. The next morning, Shao Fang entered Yancheng.
The two countries, Feng and Mo, were allies. The entire Feng Kingdom welcomed Shao Fang's arrival with a grand ceremony. Tang Yin also went out of the city to greet him personally.
After meeting, the first thing Shao Fang said was congratulations to Tang Yin. Tang Yin was stunned by his congratulations. Shao Fang smiled and said: "When I was still in Mo State, I heard that Feng State defeated Du Jijun in Tia.
, good news comes frequently, judging from the time, Feng Kingdom should have captured Tia by now, right?"
He had a smile on his face when he spoke, but his tone was sour. Of course Tang Yin could understand Shao Fang's jealousy and jealousy. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shao misunderstood. Our army is going to aid Tia, not invade and annex it."
, even if we defeat Du Jijun, Tia will still be Tia, and Feng Country will still be Feng Country."
Shao Fang was happy when he heard this, and showed an expression of understanding. He patted Tang Yin's arm hard and said, "Brother Tang Yin, do you still have to say these false polite words to me?"
Tang Yin stopped explaining. He understood that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. He turned sideways, waved his hand and said, "Brother Shao, please come to the city!"
"please!"
Tang Yin and Shao Fang both got into the carriages prepared in advance, and slowly entered Yancheng under the protection of a large number of Feng troops and Mo guards.
After entering the city, Shao Fang couldn't help but sigh. It had not been a year since he last visited Yancheng, but looking at it now, Yancheng was much more prosperous than when he last came, and there were many new developments in the city.
Looking at the tall buildings from the roadside, there are many shops, row upon row, very lively.
The rapid development under the emperor's feet is really amazing! Shao Fang feels a little regretful now. If he had taken the emperor to Modu, then Zhenjiang would probably be more prosperous than Yancheng now?! There is no medicine for regret in the world.
, even if Shao Fang saw the benefits of accepting the emperor at this time, it was too late.
On the way, Shao Fang asked: "Brother Tang Wang, should we go to see the emperor first or go to your palace first?" According to the rules, when a prince enters the capital, no matter what the reason, he must first see the emperor. This is also a sign of respect for the emperor. Although Yancheng
Not going to Beijing, but the Emperor is here after all.
Tang Yin was amused and asked: "Brother Shao, do you think it is necessary to meet the emperor?"
Shao Fang raised his head and smiled without asking any more questions. Through Tang Yin's understatement of the rhetorical question, he could already feel the emperor's status in Tang Yin's mind. But it's no wonder, how could it be possible to live under someone else's roof and not be controlled by others? Thinking of this, Shao Fang
He was also secretly angry that his ministers were short-sighted and lacked foresight. Accepting the emperor was like putting a mountain on his head. Look at Tang Yin now. He continues to sit on the throne of the Wind King. At the same time,
He also firmly controlled the emperor, giving himself the absolute right to speak.
Alas! Shao Fang sighed secretly, the Mo country was full of talents and capable ministers, so why did they lose to the Feng country on whether to accept the emperor?
When he arrived at Tang Yin's palace, Shao Fang looked up and said in surprise: "Brother Tang Yin still lives here?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said: "Feng Country has been fighting for years, and the country has been weakened and the people are poor. How can there be spare money to build a palace?" He did not pretend to be poor, but Feng Country is really not rich now, and does not support war with war.
The strategy is not appropriate, but Feng Country has rebuilt too many towns now, which greatly consumes Feng Country's treasury.
Shao Fang blinked and suddenly changed the topic and said: "This place is actually not bad. If you live comfortably, there is no need to build a palace."
Tang Yin gave him a strange look, not knowing what he was planning, as his words changed so quickly.
He got off the carriage first, and after Shao Fang also got off, they walked into the palace side by side.
Shao Fang first went to visit his sister Shao Xuan. During this period of time, Shao Xuan has been living in Tang Yin's palace. He didn't have many opportunities to meet Tang Yin, but there was a dedicated person who took good care of him. After not seeing him for so long, Shao Xuan didn't change.
Shao Fang was at least much more well-behaved than before. Seeing that his sister was living quite comfortably in Tang Yin's place, Shao Fang was secretly relieved.
After leaving Shao Xuan, Tang Yin and Shao Fang came to the study room and sat down respectively. In addition, the left and right prime ministers of Feng State, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, and the accompanying generals of Mo State, Lian Ge and Taifu Zhang Rong, were also present.
After simple polite exchanges, both parties gradually got down to business.
It was Tang Yin who spoke first and asked: "Brother Shao has come all the way here, isn't he going to Feng Country to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
Shao Fang's expression became serious and he said: "The main reason I came here this time is to discuss one thing with Brother Tang Wang!"
Sure enough, Tang Yin smiled and said, "Brother Shao, please tell me something."
Shao Fang pondered for a moment and said, "I hope Brother Tang Wang can join forces with me to send troops to the Jade Kingdom."
Tang Yin wondered if he had heard wrongly. Shao Fang did not come for Changsun Yuanhong, but to fight against the Jade Kingdom. This was so unexpected. He turned to look at Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, who were obviously also here.
He didn't expect Shao Fang to make such a request, and seemed a little surprised. Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Brother Shao wants to attack the Jade Kingdom?"
"That's not true." Shao Fang said with a smile: "Does Prince Tang know who the monarch of the Jade Kingdom is?"
This is simply an idiot's question. Tang Yin asked: "Isn't it Lingshuang?"
Shao Fang nodded and asked, "Has Brother Tang Wang ever seen Lingshuang?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath and said patiently: "That's not true."
Shao Fang smiled, but it was just a smile, and he said: "I have seen it. The appearance of Ling Shuang, the Lord of the Jade Kingdom, is so beautiful that it is as beautiful as a fairy! I have favored all kinds of women, but only
I have never met the king of a country, so I want to propose marriage to the Jade Kingdom."
Tang Yin looked at Shao Fang inexplicably. Shao Fang was a womanizer, Tang Yin knew this, and Shao Fang had never concealed it. If Lingshuang was as beautiful as he said, it was normal for Shao Fang to be moved by it.
, but what does this have to do with sending troops to the Jade Kingdom?
Seeing his doubts, Shao Fang sighed softly and said: "I want to marry Lingshuang, but unfortunately she may not be willing to marry me. If Mo and Feng jointly send troops, they don't need to enter the Jade Kingdom, but only need to stockpile troops at the border.
At that time, if I propose marriage again, I can’t help but Lingshuang not accepting it.”
Ha! Tang Yin almost laughed out loud. The two countries jointly sent troops to make such a big fuss just for someone to marry him and satisfy his selfish desires. This is too childish. Tang Yin felt that he was crazy enough, but with Shao
In comparison, there is still a huge difference.
He shook his head and said: "Brother Shao, you have also seen the current situation of our country, Feng. The army is fighting in Tia, towns are being built in every county, and the treasury is empty than our face. Now let me, Feng."
It is too difficult for the country to send troops."
Even if there is no war, the long journey of the army will consume a lot of money, and it will also require a huge amount of money and food to support it.
Shao Fang was not surprised by Tang Yin's rejection. He said with a smile: "Brother Tang Wang, please rest assured that I will not let brother Feng Jun's efforts go in vain." After a pause, he continued: "The money and food for brother Feng Jun's expedition,
I, the Mo Kingdom, will take care of it, and if it goes through, I will give one of the eight counties in Ningnan to the younger brother of Prince Tang!"
Hey! Shao Fang was so generous for a woman, even willing to give up a county in exchange. This is incredible. Just sending troops to scare the Jade Kingdom, he can get a county. This is a huge advantage! Tang Yin Tiao
He raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Shao Fang.
It can be said that Tang Yin has never believed in the possibility of pie-in-the-sky good things in his life. Shao Fang is willing to pay such a high price. What is he thinking about? Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. The former
He frowned and lowered his head in silence, while the latter winked at him repeatedly, sometimes scratching his head, sometimes scratching his face, and was restless.
When had a man as mature as Shangguan Yuanji ever been so impatient? Seeing this, Tang Yin immediately understood that he had something to say. Now that Shao Fang was present, it was hard for him to ask directly. After pondering for a while, Tang Yin smiled at Shao Fang and said, "Sending troops is a big deal.
, one action will affect everything, I have to think about this matter carefully!"
The smile on Shao Fang's face disappeared and he asked: "Is it possible that Brother Tang is not satisfied with my conditions? One county is not enough, so two counties are enough, right? Now that Changsun Yuanhong has occupied two of the eight counties in Ningnan, as long as Brother Tang
If you can defeat them, I can give those two counties to you, brother!"
The more generous he was, the more suspicious Tang Yin became. The latter looked up and smiled and said: "I would like to thank Brother Shao for his kindness in advance, but Feng Country is indeed in difficulty now. I will give Brother Shao an accurate answer tomorrow as to whether he can send troops.
Brother Shao can’t wait for one day, right?”
Shao Fang showed a lonely look and said quietly: "I thought that with the friendship between my two brothers, as long as I opened my mouth, even if there was no benefit, Brother Tang Wang would help me. I think back then, when Feng Country was suffering, how could we, Mo Country?
Didn’t you risk the country’s destruction to help?”
When he said this, Tang Yin had nothing to say. Indeed, the Wind Fighting Alliance was coming fiercely. If Mo Country had not remained neutral, it would not be certain that Feng Country would still exist. Tang Yin smiled slightly and said: "Brother Shao, right?
Naturally, I will never forget the benefits of Feng Country, and I will try my best to help Brother Shao in this matter."
"So Prince Tang has agreed?" Shao Fang's face changed like flipping through a book. His face was gloomy just now, but after hearing Tang Yin's words, his face immediately glowed.
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Although I want to help Brother Shao, I don't know whether the ministers will agree. But Brother Shao can rest assured that even if the ministers object, I will try my best to persuade them." His words were still not given to Shao.
Fang Yizhen believed it, and the latter was about to speak. Tang Yin laughed, interrupted the topic, and said: "I know that Brother Shao has always liked singing and dancing. I have booked the largest restaurant in Yancheng. Instead of you and me sitting here boringly,
Instead of just chatting, why not go to a restaurant and have a drink while listening to music and dancing."
He secretly thought that Tang Yin was cunning, and after all the talk, he still didn't finalize the matter on the spot. However, Shao Fang couldn't force it again and again, so he could only follow Tang Yin's words and said: "Okay! This journey has been really hard for me. Go
