Chapter five hundred and forty second crisis latent
In fact, it is very simple to distinguish between a wise king and a foolish king. One is thinking wholeheartedly about serving the people of the country, while the other is thinking about having the people of the country serve him all day long.
This is the essential difference between serving and being served.
Obviously, Wanyan Aguda belongs to the former, and Song Huizong obviously belongs to the latter.
After Li Qi returned that day, he did not tell Zhao Liangsi and Zhao Kai the news, because Wanyan Aguda had told me before leaving that he would conduct final negotiations on Yan Yun the next day.
The next day.
The Song Dynasty delegation came to Fuya again to negotiate with Jin representatives.
Although the matter has basically been settled, the negotiation process is still not optimistic. Ministers from the Jin Kingdom began to ask questions about the Song Dynasty's help in the economic construction of the Jin Kingdom.
Except for Li Qi, everyone in the Song Dynasty really didn't understand anything, but Li Qi helped them block some of the problems. As for some problems, he turned a deaf ear to them, because he was not sure that he could convince Song Huizong of these problems.
Therefore, he had to ask Zhao Liangsi to make the guarantee on behalf of Song Huizong, which would relieve some of the pressure on him.
Obviously, this is a double act performed by Li Qi and Wanyan Agu. The purpose is to reduce the resistance to Li Qi's return to investment. After all, there are a room full of treacherous officials in the Song Dynasty. Although Li Qi has tried his best to avoid damaging their
interests, but such a vast project will definitely involve their core interests. If the Jin Kingdom is here to suppress it, then things will be much easier to handle.
This negotiation was protracted. From sunrise to sunset, Zhao Liangsi was so tired that he hid behind and squinted for a while. Of course, he also made a lot of guarantees.
After the negotiation, both Song and Jin parties seemed to be exhausted, and Wanyan Aguda was hosting a banquet for them again.
At the banquet, this group of ministers were like crazy. They let go of their arms and had fun. They shouted and drank from bowls. Moreover, there was an official prostitute accompanying them every day. The whole banquet was extravagant.
Extremely.
After the banquet, it was already midnight.
Wanyan Zongwang returned to the mansion with a smile on his face, but as soon as he stepped into the door, his face immediately turned extremely cold, and his big thick hands swept all the wine glasses on the table to the ground.
Crash, clatter, a commotion.
It's not that he was unhappy with the outcome of this negotiation, but that he had followed his father in the war for more than ten years. His father had always valued his opinions, and never like this negotiation, Wanyan Aguda barely considered it.
pass his opinion.
This feeling was like falling from the lead role to a walk-on role all of a sudden, which was hard for him to accept.
Of course, after all, he is also a marshal who commands thousands of armies. Being angry is just emotionally unacceptable, but he will still consider the overall situation. He understands his father's decision, because he also understands that Dajin is indeed full of waste now.
, if he could get help from the Song Dynasty, the situation would be much better, but he really couldn't stand Li Qi. This young boy who had just arrived made him feel uncomfortable all over. If this idea was proposed by Zhao Liangsi, he probably
It's a different mood again.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Who could it be at such a late hour? Wanyan Zongwang frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, there is someone outside asking to see you."
"who is it?"
"The villain doesn't know."
"What?"
At this moment, another rough voice sounded outside, "Zong Wang, it's me."
Wanyan Zongwang's face tightened, and he quickly swept all the porcelain tiles on the floor to the table. Then he adjusted his mood and went to the door to open it.
I saw a tall man wearing a black cloak standing outside. Because the brim of his hat was pulled down very low, and it was already late at night, it was impossible to see the man's face clearly.
This man walked in without waiting for Wanyan Zongwang to speak.
Wanyan Zongwang gave a bitter smile and ordered the servant: "I have something important to talk about now, and I won't see anyone."
"Yes, sir."
After the servant left, Wanyan Zongwang closed the door, turned to the servant and said, "How did you come back?"
"Ha ha."
The man burst out laughing and pulled down the brim of his hat. Under the hat was a face with a full beard and a protruding forehead. The man was about forty years old, about 1.75 meters tall, with a burly build and three-striped hair.
The big pigtails and a pair of tiger eyes gave people a feeling of calmness and self-power. He glanced at Wanyan Zongwang, laughed and said, "If such a big thing happens, how can I not come?"
Wanyan Zongwang had a smile on his face, sat on the chair, and said calmly: "It seems like your father didn't ask you to come here."
The man shook his head.
Wanyan Zongwang said calmly: "Then you are disobeying military orders. If something goes wrong over there in Beiliao, my father will definitely not spare you."
"Of course I know this, otherwise do you think I like to wear this damn cloak in the territory I conquered?" The man looked disdainful and said: "But don't worry about Beiliao, just the remnants of Ah Shi'er
Defeated general, there is no need for me to take action. Now the overall situation has been decided. It depends on when we can catch the kid. But to be honest, the kid is really cunning. I have set up dragnets several times but he has escaped. It's really
It makes me angry."
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and didn't say much. He knew that Beiliao's destruction was only a matter of time, so he said, "Are you here to negotiate with Yanyun?"
"Of course, do you think I have nothing to do and come all the way to chat with you?" The man snorted and said: "I said you are serious, why don't you dissuade the emperor from this matter, what nonsense economic construction?
How can it be compared with that white money?"
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "Why are you still the same as before? Now we are not still living in the Jurchen tribe. My father naturally has to act in the interests of the entire Jin Kingdom. I don't think there is anything wrong with this.
"
The man hummed: "So, you agree?"
Wanyan Zongshang spread his hands and said: "At least I can't find any reason to refuse, and I don't know if I agree with it alone, but my father, fourth uncle, and other ministers also agree."
"I see." The man sneered and said, "No wonder you were beaten by that Southern Dynasty man."
Wanyan Zongwang stared and said in a deep voice: "Wanyan Zonghan, what did you say?"
This man was Wanyan Zonghan, another fierce general of the Jin Kingdom, the nephew of Wanyan Aguda and the cousin of Wanyan Zongwang. The reason why he did not come to participate in this negotiation was because he was now ordered to attack Beiliao.
Wanyan Zongwang snorted: "Did I make a mistake? I heard someone say on the road that A Paris couldn't stand up after being beaten by someone, and that boy Zong Bi was also beaten by an unknown young general from the Southern Dynasty.
The war horse was stabbed to death. You don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed."
Wanyan Zong looked away and said calmly: "That's just the carelessness of the fourth brother. It can't be counted. If it were really on the battlefield, I believe that the fourth brother would win without any suspense."
"But the problem is that we have lost now."
"Is this what you came here to tell me?"
Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand and said: "Of course not. I just want to ask you now. What you just said came from your heart. Do you really agree with cooperation with the Southern Dynasties?"
Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have better attention?"
Wanyan Zonghan laughed, and then said coldly: "You have seen the Southern Dynasty's invasion of Liao Dynasty. The troops of the Southern Dynasty are not even comparable to the Liao army. As long as the emperor is willing to give me 10,000 troops, I am determined to do it." Capture the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and present it to the emperor."
Wanyan Zongwang said calmly: "But you should also know that my father does not advocate the use of troops against the Southern Dynasty."
"I know this, but in the past we all thought that the Southern Dynasty was a big country in the Central Plains after all, and it must have some abilities. But we didn't expect that this big country would be so vulnerable, so we naturally had to make other plans."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Now that the matter has settled, what's the use of all this."
"Yeah. I'm still a step too late after all."
"It's all the same. Father has already made up his mind. It's useless for you to persuade him."
Wanyan Zonghan sighed heavily in annoyance and said: "I heard that the person who proposed this economic construction was the Southern Dynasty cook who sabotaged the negotiations last time. The emperor also thinks highly of him. And you seem to have been defeated by him."
Although Wanyan Zongwang was unwilling to admit it, the fact was that he did not get any advantage from Li Qi. He said calmly: "Since you already know, why do you still come to ask me."
"I just can't figure out what he can do as a cook."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "Don't underestimate him. Who in this world can convince his father to give up a million strings with just one mouthful? Moreover, this person pays so much attention that it is difficult for people to guard against him. I have a hunch that in the future, This person will definitely become a serious problem for me, Dai Jin."
"There is some truth in what you said." Wanyan Zonghan raised his thick eyebrows and said with a cold glare, "In this case, I definitely cannot keep this person."
Wanyan Zongwang was startled and said, "Don't act recklessly."
Wanyan Zonghan sneered and said, "If you are afraid, I will bear the responsibility."
"Who said I was scared?" Wanyan Zongwang finally couldn't bear it any longer, stood up suddenly and said, "I can't wait to cut that man into pieces."
A proud smile appeared on the corner of Wanyan Zonghan's mouth, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and saying: "This is the Wanyan Zongwang I know. In the future, when I go south with my golden iron hoof, what kind of talent will I not have, and there are still other options? Endless wealth is much more effective than this bullshit economic construction."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and nodded, but he was more cautious and said: "But this matter needs to be considered in the long term."
"I know that."
.
As for the Song Dynasty mission, due to the suddenness of the matter, Zhao Liangsi decided to prepare to return to China the next day, and quickly informed Song Huizong of the results of the negotiations in order to make a decision as soon as possible, because it would not take long for Wanyan Aguda to Someone will be sent to Bianjing to implement this matter.
early morning.
There was a burst of noise in the post house.
Li Qi sat under the tree, yawning profusely, watching with dull eyes as the servants loaded big boxes onto the carriage one after another. Last night, Li Qi and Yelu were both very excited, so they had another fierce fight. Several times, resulting in severe lack of sleep.
"Hey, Li Qi, your lovely wife is here."
Zhao Kai suddenly came over. Seeing Li Qi's tired face, he naturally understood and asked with a smirk on his face.
What? Are you envious? Li Qi chuckled and said, "I'm still tinkering in the room, and I'll come out later. Women, it's just more troublesome, but we men should understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered a pleasant voice behind him, "Deputy Commander, are you looking for me?"
"Oh my God." Li Qi turned around to look, suddenly started playing, and shouted in shock: "Your Excellency, who are you?" (To be continued...)
