Laizhou!
As Li Qi expected, Wanyan Zongbi was very obedient and sent the envoy.※%
After Chen Ping learned about it, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He cursed Wanyan Zongbi for being too snobbish. He repeatedly sent people there, but Wanyan Zongbi was too lazy to respond. But as soon as Li Qi came and passed a message, he obediently sent people there.
Sent here, the treatment is very different!
The visitor was also an old acquaintance, it was Xiao Cunzhi who was sent to Bianliang to find trouble when the Jin army went south.
Xiao Cunzhi entered the hall, slightly raised his hands to Li Qi who was sitting in the seat, and said: "Privy Envoy, you are well."
Originally, the two of them had very different statuses in their respective countries. Due to diplomatic etiquette, Xiao Cunzhi should have saluted Li Qi very respectfully and expressed his greetings, but he did not do so. Why? Because their Jin country is tyrannical.
, this is the truth.
Hey! Just give me a slap on the wrist, okay! Li Qi was even more direct, even skipping the return gift. He waved his hand and said calmly: "Sit down."
Playing these tricks, he has never been afraid of anyone.
Xiao Cunzhi was embarrassed this time. Your uncle is still your uncle, so he sat down in disgrace.
Since Xiao Cunzhi was so unreasonable, Li Qi naturally refused to exchange greetings with him. He took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "I believe you already know the reason why I asked you to come here this time."
Invite me to come? If it hadn't been for the Fourth Prince's order, you wouldn't have been able to invite me. Xiao Cunzhi looked unhappy, but he still answered: "Is the Privy Council about the disappearance of your country's fleet?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
Xiao Cunzhi said: "We, the fourth prince, have always been very confused about this matter. You don't investigate, but you always come to us. Why? Do you think this is what we did?"
Li Qidao: "I didn't say that, but there are only two countries in this sea area. The place where the fleet disappeared is very close to your country, so we want to go to your country to investigate. Maybe the fleet encountered wind and waves.
It is entirely possible for your country to take shelter along the coast, or for the ship to break down, and we are only sending a few people there and will never disturb your country."
Xiao Cunzhi hummed: "What the Privy Council said is very light. Although this matter is not a big deal, but if we allow you to come to our country to investigate, wouldn't we admit that this matter is related to us? What is the face of our country, the Great Jin Kingdom? Moreover,
If you lose someone, you will come to me, Daikin. If you lose your mother in Korea, you will come to us, Daikin. Wouldn’t we, Daikin, become a place where orphans and widows go missing?”
Li Qi frowned and said: "You are using strong words! I have already said that I am afraid of accidents. I am not saying that it was you, Dajin, who did it."
Xiao Cunzhi sneered and said: "I think it is the Privy Councilor who is using strong words to make excuses. To be honest with the Privy Councilor, thousands of people in our Daikin are missing every year. If we send people to inform your country every day, you will send people to your country to investigate."
Will the country agree? Everything must be based on evidence. As long as you can produce strong evidence, we will allow you to come to Daikin to investigate. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything."
Li Qi became angry and said: "Don't forget, we are allies. As allies, shouldn't we help and support each other?"
Xiao Cunzhi argued: "It's true that we are allies, but this matter is related to the reputation of Daikin. If we let you in to investigate, how will the world view Daikin? Why can't the Privy Council think from our standpoint?"
Li Qi snorted: "You are obstructing us in every possible way, maybe you are just a thief with a guilty conscience."
"Please also be careful what you say, Privy Councilor."
Xiao Cunzhi said: "We, Daikin, have our own rules. Not just anyone can come here if they want. We don't allow you to come to investigate. This move is reasonable, reasonable and beyond reproach."
Li Qi said displeased: "From your tone, there is no need to talk about this matter?"
Xiao Cunzhi suddenly turned around and smiled and said: "That's not true. Didn't the Privy Council often say before that there is nothing in this world that cannot be discussed? It all depends on whether the bargaining chips of both parties are equal."
Li Qi glanced at him coldly and said, "Then what kind of chips do you want?"
Xiao Cunzhi smiled and said: "It's very simple. If you can pay us 100,000 yuan to make up for the loss of our reputation, we can consider it."
This is really a naked request for money.
But that’s not what diplomacy is about. In the end, money is always inseparable from any diplomatic matter, whether it is contemporary or future generations.
"One hundred thousand strings?"
Li Qi snorted: "You really dare to speak."
Xiao Cunzhi said in a relaxed tone: "The Privy Councilor can refuse, so please be considerate of our refusal."
"Since you made it so clear, I'll tell you the truth."
Li Qidao: "There is a lot of cooperation between us, including in various aspects. Since it is cooperation, you will definitely ask for something from us. If you don't make it easy for us today, we will make things difficult for you in the future.
Don’t blame us then.”
Xiao Cunzhi smiled and said: "These are two different things. As for cooperation, it is based on the Yunsang Alliance. We will strictly abide by the alliance. I believe your country will not violate the alliance without authorization."
He said no, but the underlying meaning is that the Song Dynasty would not dare to break the covenant even if it means you.
This is strange to say, but whenever the northern powers negotiate with the Song Dynasty, no matter whether they win or lose the previous war, they can always negotiate in a tone of strong vs. weak, whether it is the original Chanyuan Alliance or the
Later, the Maritime Alliance and the Yanshan Prefecture Negotiations.
This is very similar to the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This was all because the northern powers had an absolute offensive strategic advantage when facing the Song Dynasty, so they could be so arrogant.
Li Qi was stunned and said calmly: "I wonder if this is the intention of your fourth prince or your majesty?"
When Xiao Cunzhi heard that Li Qi had changed the subject, he looked even more proud and secretly disdainful. We have already seen through these tricks of yours. You can only show off your skills for a while, how can you succeed every time? "It's our fourth prince," he said.
Very pleased."
Li Qidao: "I thought you, the fourth prince, handled this matter very inappropriately. We will talk to your majesty directly."
Xiao Cunzhi said: "No need, how dare you trouble your Majesty with such a trivial matter? Our Majesty is diligent in government affairs, but he is not as lively and cheerful as your Majesty."
How arrogant is this? A mere envoy directly insulted the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Li Qi suddenly stood up and said: "You are too presumptuous."
Xiao Cunzhi immediately said: "Sorry, sorry. I made a mistake."
But there was no hint of apology in the arrogant look on his face. After all, he had said the words and how could he take them back.
Li Qi said coldly: "In this case, we have nothing to talk about. I am deeply disappointed about this. I did not expect that our covenant is so unstable. However, we will never let this matter go. I will obtain the
Your Majesty’s contact, and I hope that your Majesty will agree to our entry investigation.”
That will only happen if your envoy can go to Beijing. Xiao Cunzhi smiled and said, "Please do so. I'll take my leave then."
"I won't send it."
Xiao Cunzhi walked out with a smile on his face. It was not easy. Since the negotiation at Yanshan Mansion, the Song and Jin Dynasties had negotiated no less than ten times, both large and small, but never once did they take advantage of Li Qi. Instead, they were frequently
He was speechless, and he finally felt proud today. This is definitely worth celebrating.
Don't talk about him, even Chen Ping on the side was dumbfounded. This was different from what he expected. In view of Li Qi's previous deeds, this plot should be that Li Qi was shocked and the other party immediately agreed. This is in line with the Privy Council.
However, he did not expect that Li Qi, who has always been eloquent, would be given the upper hand by the opponent today and was severely humiliated.
After Xiao Cunzhi went out, Chen Ping hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Privy Envoy, this man is so arrogant, how can we spare him so easily?"
Li Qi slowly took a sip of tea and suddenly laughed.
Chen Ping asked curiously: "Why is the Privy Councilor laughing?"
Li Qi took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth in a very gentlemanly manner, and said very modestly: "I think back when I was so high-spirited, I turned the sun and the moon upside down and changed the world with just one mouth. I don't know how many heroes were killed by anger. How majestic and majestic it was.
.Now that I have passed my thirties, my heart has calmed down. If I still quarrel with others, wouldn’t I become a child who will never grow up?”
Chen Ping looked confused when he heard this.
"not understand?"
Li Qi glanced at him.
Chen Ping nodded dullly.
Li Qi angrily said: "To put it simply, what they are playing now are all the remaining tricks that I have tired of playing. This art of war has its own meaning, but the reality is false, and the false is true. In the past, our Song Dynasty was not strong enough.
If I am still weak in terms of momentum, wouldn't I tell others that we, the Song Dynasty, are nothing but fish and meat and can be bullied by others, so at that time, I have to stiffen my neck and argue with the opponent, and I can't beat him, but I can't admit defeat."
At this point, he changed the topic and said: "But it's different now. Now that we, the Song Dynasty, no longer have to fear anyone with our strength, at this time, our diplomacy should turn from offense to defense, so as to paralyze the opponent, so as to strategically
Turn from defense to offense, speak with strength, rather than engage in some face-saving wars with them. What you fight for in words is just face, but what you fight for on the battlefield is dignity. You can lose this face, but you can't lose your dignity."
Chen Ping seemed to understand: "Did the Privy Envoy do it on purpose?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I just asked him to humiliate me and give Wanyan Zongbi a little pleasure. Unfortunately, he is a fast shooter, so this pleasure will not last long. Well, my mission has been completed.
I have to go to Yanshan Mansion immediately, and I will leave the matter here to you. All you have to do is keep pestering me. Anyway, you are shameless, crying or begging, but you just can't let this matter go away."
You have lost face, so what should I be afraid of? Chen Ping nodded and said: "I will obey my orders." After that, he added: "What about the people?"
Li Qidao: "The imperial court's subsidy policy has been implemented. I believe the people will not come to trouble you again. Just tell the people what Xiao Cunzhi said today exactly."
