Qi Bing? I really like the infantry. Damn it, I don’t look like a soldier from head to toe. Calling Qi Ye is more like it. This is obviously trying to catch up. If I had known this, I should have agreed to Brother Qiu in the first place. In that case
, at least I can prepare for a few more days, it’s really a cheat.
Li Qi didn't know whether to say that Song Huizong thought too highly of himself, or to scold Song Huizong for being a coward for asking him to serve as a special soldier for such a big event. He said in a sullen tone: "Captain, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?"
Liang Shicheng said: "It's just you and me here. It doesn't matter if you say so."
Li Qi sighed and said: "The Taiwei must also know about the grudge between me and Wang Xuan'en, the son of Wang Xiang. Isn't it a little inappropriate to ask me to assist Wang Xiang?"
"Nonsense." Liang Shicheng's face was serious and he said seriously: "How can Prime Minister Wang add personal grudges to such a big matter? Don't worry about this."
That's what he said. If he can't be beaten, I won't say anything or fart. It's just soy sauce. What can he do to me? Li Qi nodded and said: "What the captain said is that I am too worried."
Liang Shicheng hummed and said, "But you must pay attention to your words and deeds tomorrow. You would rather say nothing than say something wrong, you know?"
"I know, I know."
"Well, our family will return to the palace to recover."
"Lieutenant, walk slowly."
After sending Liang Shicheng away, Li Qi came to the front hall and briefly explained the matter to Mrs. Qin, Bai Qiannuo and the others. Anyway, it was not a secret and there was no need to hide it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin immediately shook her head and said: "How can this be done? How can the emperor send you?"
Li Qi didn't want to go at first, but when he heard what Mrs. Qin said, he felt puzzled and asked: "Madam, what do you mean, what do you mean by sending me there? I am also called Little Zhuge after all?"
Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes and said: "I'm afraid you just made it up. Your ability to cause trouble is much better than your ability to handle things. Don't think about it. In the past, no matter what banquet or negotiation you went to,
You have to make some noise before you give up, but those are all business matters, so it doesn't matter, but this time..."
Bai Qiannuo frowned when he heard this and said, "Brother, how about I go back and ask my mother now."
"No need." Li Qi raised his hand and said: "Qiniang, don't listen to madam's nonsense. Besides, if your mother had any idea, she would have let your father go a long time ago. How could it be my turn? Then your mother would
It’s just eight words, don’t be greedy for credit and keep your mouth shut.”
Mrs. Qin nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea, but keeping silent is very easy for others, but it is very difficult for you. I have a hunch that you will definitely do something else tomorrow.
Come."
This lady is really a crow's mouth. Li Qi said angrily: "I also have a premonition. The lady will definitely get what she wants tonight, and she will sleep hard and be convinced. She is leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning."
Mrs. Qin's face was slightly red, and she saw Bai Qiannuo and Ji Hongnu both lowering their heads and snickering. She spat lightly, stood up and said, "I'm a little tired, so I'm going back to the house first. You guys should rest early."
She said and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly said: "Li Qi, you should read more in the future." After saying that, she left without waiting for Li Qi's reply.
"What do you mean? Did I say something wrong?"
Li Qi looked confused, and heard giggles coming from beside him. He saw Bai Qiannuo and Ji Hongnu smiling like flowers, their chests rising and falling anxiously. He swallowed his saliva and said hehe, "You two ladies, today
Who will be waiting for me to go to bed tonight? Of course, the more people, the better."
Bai Qiannuo immediately stopped smiling, rolled her eyes at Li Qi, and said seriously: "Brother, you need to have a good rest tonight."
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Qiniang, don't keep your words."
"I am doing this for the sake of my eldest brother." After Bai Qian promised, he picked up Ji Hongnu and said, "Sister Hongnu, let's go."
Ji Hongnu whispered: "Brother, you should rest early."
"Hey, Qiniang, Hongnu, my eldest brother is an indestructible body. Don't be so indestructible. Can you give me some noodles?"
"boom."
"Damn it. Are you still in a patriarchal society?"
.
Early the next morning, Li Qi climbed out of bed very early because he was not tired at night, put on his ugly official uniform, went to the kitchen and made himself a bowl of abalone porridge, and then walked towards the door.
At this time, Bai and Ji were already waiting in front of the door.
"Good morning, brother."
The two girls greeted each other with smiles.
Li Qi looked at the two girls seriously, gave a faint hum, and said seriously: "Waiting in bed tonight to wait for my triumphant return." After saying that, he strode away, how domineering he was.
Both Bai and Ji were dumbfounded and watched Li Qi leave blankly.
After a while, the innocent red slave asked: "Sister Qi'er, what does it mean to be clean?"
Bai Qiannuo stamped her foot and said shyly: "How do I know, but it must not be a good thing. Brother is really bad."
Li Qi walked out of the door. Thinking of the shocked expressions of the two girls, he snickered a few times and said smugly: "If a tiger doesn't show off its power, think of me as Liang Shicheng."
At this time, Ma Qiao was already waiting in front of the door. Just as Li Qi was about to get in the car, suddenly another carriage came from behind.
"Uu."
The carriage stopped in front of Li Qi's carriage, and a head of yellow hair stretched out from the window, "Envoy Guan Yan, can you get in the carriage and talk to me?"
The person who came was none other than Wang Fu.
Li Qi naturally knew the purpose of his coming, nodded and said with a smile: "The king has his orders, how dare I disobey you?" He whispered towards Ma Qiao: "Follow closely."
When they got to Wang Fu's car, Li Qi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I have met Wang Xiang."
"No courtesy, no courtesy, please take a seat quickly."
Wang Fu was extremely enthusiastic. After Li Qi sat down, he smiled and asked, "Is the official Yan going to the palace?"
Aren't you talking nonsense? Li Qi nodded and said, "Exactly. Yesterday, the emperor ordered his subordinates to assist the prime minister in negotiating with the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin."
Wang Fu smiled and said: "That's good, let's go together. Then again, in fact, the truth has been that I have wanted to cooperate with Ambassador Guan Yan for a long time, but I didn't expect that I didn't get what I wanted until today. However, Ambassador Guan Yan is very talented.
With your help, I am really more powerful than a tiger."
Wow! It’s really strange that your majestic young master actually flatters me. Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Prime Minister Wang."
Wang Fu smiled and asked, "I wonder if the official Yan Envoy has any good ideas?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "If it's business, maybe I can give you some advice, but for this important military matter, alas, I'm really overqualified but not strong enough. I went here with a learning attitude. I hope
The King is generous enough to teach you."
Wang Fu said: "Hey, the official Yan is too modest. Don't worry. Now I just want to end this matter as soon as possible. If you can help me, Fu will be grateful and will definitely ask for credit for you."
What he meant was nothing more than, don't worry, I won't take your credit, and I will also ask for credit for you, so you don't have to hide it.
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "The Prime Minister Wang said something serious, and he is telling the truth. In fact, I still have only a little knowledge of this matter, so I can't come up with any good ideas. But please rest assured, Prime Minister Wang, I will definitely not cause trouble for you later. Silence.
I still understand Jin’s principles.”
When Wang Fu heard this, he breathed out softly and said with a smile: "Hey, you can't say that. The official Yanshi is very resourceful. If an idea comes to him at the right time, then maybe he will."
It is said that Li Qi was afraid that Wang Fu would take the opportunity to punish him. In fact, Wang Fu was not worried that Li Qi would take the opportunity to trip him up. Yesterday, when he heard that Song Huizong said that he wanted Li Qi to help him, he had been worried. After thinking about it, he decided
Let’s first inquire about Li Qi’s tone. Now that I heard what Li Qi said, I felt a lot more relieved.
Of course, the same was true for Li Qi, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
.
This negotiation was arranged in the Chongzheng Hall. When Wang Fu and Li Qi arrived, Song Huizong had not yet arrived. In addition to some eunuchs and maids, there were four people standing in the middle of the hall. One was wearing the official uniform of the Song Dynasty, and the other three were all
Wearing different clothes.
Needless to say, those three people must be the Jin envoys.
Japan. Three versus three. This is too damn fair. There is no home field advantage at all. Li Qi secretly shook his head and expressed that he was not optimistic about this negotiation.
"I have met the Prime Minister."
When the official in Hanfu saw Wang Fu coming in, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
Wang Fu bowed his hand in return and introduced him: "Doctor Zhao, this is the newly promoted official Yanshi, Li Qi." Then he introduced Li Qi: "Guanyanshi, this is Guanglu
Doctor, Zhao Liangsi."
Zhao Liangsi? Damn, he's a celebrity. It seems like he was the fuse of the Jingkang Incident. Li Qi raised his brows and couldn't help but look at this man. He saw that he was in his forties, about 1.75 meters tall, with a dark complexion.
At first glance, you can tell that he has been weathered, and he has a long beard on his chin.
Li Qi remembered that it was recorded in the history books that this man was originally a Han from Yan, with a surname of Ma and Zhi. It was said that he was a member of the Liao Kingdom, but he was born in Cao Ying and his heart was Han. When he saw the corruption of the Liao Kingdom, he took advantage of Tong Guan to send an envoy.
On the occasion of the Liao Dynasty, the donkey proposed himself and offered Tong Guan a plan. Don't underestimate his plan. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Liangsi's plan changed the fate of the entire Song Dynasty, and its shocking power was no less than Zhuge's Long Dynasty.
Middle pair.
His strategy was to cultivate the Jurchen tribe and join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. At the beginning, he traveled around the Jurchen tribes and provoked conflicts between the Jurchen and Khitan tribes with his outstanding eloquence. He also achieved good results. Later, Brother Aguda raised an army.
, it was really overwhelming, like entering a deserted place.
But he made a fatal mistake, that is, the strategy of distant friendship and close attack must be backed by strong strength. He was born in the Liao Kingdom and did not know the military strength of the Song Dynasty. He did not expect that the Song army was so unbearable that the Northern Song Dynasty was later defeated by the Jin Dynasty.
Destruction. You may say that he was wrong. He also wanted to help the Song Dynasty regain its old territory. But you may say that he was right. His strategy of saving the country accelerated the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
When Li Qi looked at Zhao Liangsi, Zhao Liangsi also looked at Li Qi. Apparently he had heard of Li Qi's name.
Li Qi saluted and said, "I have met Doctor Zhao." He is the fourth grade, and he is from the second grade, which is several grades higher than him.
"I've heard about the name Guan Yan Envoy for a long time, but when I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
Zhao Liangsi smiled slightly and said again: "Prime Minister, Official Yan Envoy, I will introduce some distinguished guests to you." He stretched out his hand to the three golden men and introduced: "These three are my brothers from the Song Dynasty.
The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin are Li Jing, Wang Duci, and Salu Mu."
As he spoke, he introduced to the envoy Jin: "This is the young prime minister of our court, Wang Fu. This young talent is our first official envoy in the Song Dynasty, Li Qi."
Wang Fu hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."
Li Jing and Wang Cidu bowed their hands and said in return: "I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time." But their tone was very arrogant, even worse than that of He Shi Lie Bo He.
The golden envoy named Salu Mu became even more arrogant. He just hummed, suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Li Qi, and said in broken Chinese: "I heard from He Shilie that the cook who won the Four Nations Banquet was also called Li Qi is the official envoy."
Wang Fu nodded and said: "Exactly, exactly."
Salu's mother pretended to be incredulous and said, "Then what is a cook doing here?" She sounded very disdainful.
Li Qi frowned slightly when he was so arrogant. However, this matter was of great importance, so he still felt guilty and finally endured it.
Zhao Liangsi suddenly said: "We, the Song Dynasty, are a country of etiquette, and we will never allow any negligence in etiquette. Since I sent the official Yan envoy to negotiate with you on my pilgrimage, naturally after some careful consideration, I will talk to the official Yan envoy." As a dignified fourth-grade official, Zhao doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”
These words are sonorous and powerful. He often interacts with Jin people, so he naturally knows the ins and outs.
Li Jing laughed and wrote lightly: "Mr. Zhao, please don't be offended by the officials and officials. Lady Salu is just asking out of curiosity."
Wang Fu smiled quickly and said: "Where, where, Ambassador Li is out."
When Li Qi heard Zhao Liangsi's words, he felt confident and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Ambassador Li is serious. This silly brother is upright and upright. He speaks directly. Compared with those who have to go through the brain before speaking. When you think about it, the hypocritical people you just mentioned are so much better. I can’t even admire them, so why should I be surprised?”
The corner of Zhao Liangsi's mouth twitched a few times, and he thought to himself, this official Yanshi is indeed not a good person.
Li Jing listened to Li Qi's tongue-twisting words and didn't react for a moment. He pondered for a moment and then woke up. Oops, wasn't he scolding Lord Salu in a roundabout way for talking without thinking? The anger on his face surged, and he was about to I opened my mouth to seek justice for Salu's mother, and suddenly I heard Salu's mother say: "What you said is right. Everyone of my Dajin subjects is like this, but those red tapes in your Southern Dynasties are really annoying."
Li Qi smiled and said: "That is, that is."
Li Jing was secretly angry, but since Salu's mother had said so, he could only pretend to be dumbfounded, and had no choice but to swallow the loss. In fact, he and Wang Cidu were both surrendered ministers of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom had already Being Sinicized, they were naturally very familiar with the culture of the Song Dynasty, so Aguda sent them as envoys to the Song Dynasty. However, after all, the two of them were surrendered ministers, and they had surrendered not long ago. It was impossible for Aguda to safely leave all such important matters to the two surrendered ministers. The minister went to deal with it, and this Salumu was undoubtedly sent by Aguda to monitor them.
In fact, Salu's mother is not stupid, and she is one of the few Jurchens who can speak Chinese. Otherwise Aguda would not have sent him to supervise. He just doesn't know Chinese very well, and Li Qi deliberately spoke fast and long. , how could he react, so he was tricked around by Li Qi.
Wang Fu frowned and glanced at Li Qi slightly, telling him to stop as soon as he was ready and not to do it again.
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded outside, "The Emperor has arrived."
