Han Shizu

Chapter 1749 Training Khitan
Arriving in Tokyo, after being left out in the cold for more than twenty days, the Khitan Prime Minister Han Derang finally made it through and was able to meet the Emperor of Han.Because it was hard won, Han Derang seemed to pay special attention to it, and even carefully took care of his clothes repeatedly, appearing to be meticulous. As for his attitude, he only had the word respect, emphasizing a humble courtesy.

"Han Derang!" In the Chongzheng Hall, Emperor Liu looked at this famous Khitan Hanchen with great interest.

"Chen Han Derang sees His Majesty!" Han Derang acted rigorously, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, showing a gesture of submission.

"It's been famous for a long time!" Looking at this "famous" generation of capable ministers, Emperor Liu said in a slightly complicated tone.

Naturally, this was the first time Han Derang met Emperor Liu in his life. Due to the difference in status and status, he maintained a cautious and humble attitude. Explore psychology.

But at this moment, feeling a little strange in Emperor Liu's tone, Han Derang felt a little weird.Without hesitation, he cupped his hands and responded: "I dare not be a minister! It is a great honor for me to be heard by a sage with a mere name!"

"Really?" Emperor Liu smiled faintly: "The blood feud accumulated over decades between the big man and the Khitan is the hatred of destroying the country. As the prime minister of the Khitan, you shouldn't always sing, "Eat my flesh, sleep on my skin!" ?"

Emperor Liu's words were thorny, Han Derang's heart thumped, but his face remained calm, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty's words are serious! The destiny of a person, the rise and fall of a country, has its own destiny. Your Majesty's destiny is all about it, and everything will be against you. Khitan Defeating at the hands of His Majesty is a matter of fate, so why complain? If you say hate, you can only hate Khitan and His Majesty for living together, and hate Khitan for not knowing the number of days and being your Majesty's enemy."

"Hahaha!" Hearing what Han Derang said, Emperor Liu finally couldn't help smiling, even rubbed his eyes excitedly, and looked at Han Derang, who had no bottom line in his words: "Didn't you hear some rumors and think I'm flattering?" If you say this, you think that if you make me happy with this compliment, you will be able to confuse me and accomplish your mission? If you let the Khitan nobles in Mobei listen to your words today, will they be bloody and kill you? "

"Your Majesty is just telling the truth!" Han Derang replied calmly: "Your Majesty's merits and greatness, why should Han Derang just compliment you? Even if you return to Mobei, this minister still speaks like this. What's more, it's Khitan people, from top to bottom , I am also very afraid of His Majesty, and regard him as a god. How can a mortal dare to fight against a god and defeat him for His Majesty?

After Han Derang finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent. Emperor Liu's eyes lingered on Han Derang, examining him repeatedly.Although Han Derang felt strange, he didn't dare to make any rash moves, he just lowered his head and kept a low profile.

After a long time, Emperor Liu said in an admiring tone: "It's better to be famous than to meet each other. How can you say flattery and flattery in such a refreshing and refined way? People like you should have a wider platform to display Talent, staying in Mobei is too condescending. Just stay in the court and serve the great man!"

Hearing this, Han Derang frowned indistinctly, paused for a moment, and then bowed in response: "Your Majesty's praise, I am really ashamed. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, if there is no Khitan, I am afraid that my humble name will not be heard by the heavens. The imperial court There are a lot of talents and wise men gathered, compared with them, this minister is nothing more than ordinary. The minister has little ability, and he can barely do his best for the peaceful exchanges between the great Han and the Khitan."

"Hehe!" Emperor Liu smiled again, waved his hands, and said, "I don't want to do this, and I won't force it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!" Han Derang was inexplicably relieved.Although he tried his best to deal with it calmly, the pressure brought by Emperor Liu was greater than imagined.

"Okay! Tell me about your reason for coming!" Emperor Liu's patience seemed to run short all of a sudden.

Hearing this, Han Derang's heart suddenly trembled, he took a deep breath, solemnly clasped his fists, and expressed respectfully to Emperor Liu about Khitan's surrender to the great Han and the intention of the Han and Liao countries to repair ties.

This set of rhetoric was clearly well-prepared in private and almost imprinted in his mind, so Han Derang spoke very fluently, even very emotionally, with both reason and reason, and also considered the pros and cons of the current situation, and his persuasive power was immediately raised.

However, what he is facing is Emperor Liu, a generation of emperors who have been in charge of the world for decades, and a lone husband and thief who kills and robs the people of the world. Interest is certainly the principle of his actions, but it is by no means the only one. Sometimes, personal disgust , can also determine the outcome of an event.

For example, at this time, when Emperor Liu faced Han Derang's sincere statement, Emperor Liu appeared extremely indifferent, and said bluntly: "These hypocritical words need not be said, they are worthless. You came here on behalf of Khitan. It is said to submit, but it must be asking for something from the big man, so let's talk about it practically!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, even with Han Derang's face, it was embarrassing.The emperor of the Han Dynasty was too sharp, always aggressive, and did not give people the slightest sense of moderation. Whether he acted casually, or he was already stubborn and conceited to a certain extent.

Quickly dismissing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Han Derang hesitated for a moment, and then sincerely said: "Your Majesty, the Khitan does have something to ask for the big man! I pray to your majesty, you can lift the border ban, and then set up a dispute, so that the big man and the Khitan National free trade, the salt, tea, wine, and grain that Mobei lacks can no longer be restricted.

At the same time, the Naiman people are ambitious and are growing constantly, and the Yubei Shiwei is also constantly invading southward. Sooner or later, it will be harmful to the big man. The Khitan is willing to join hands with the big man and resist the expulsion. "

"Hehehe." After hearing his words, Emperor Liu was happy again, and said almost in a sneering tone: "It's all Khitan's begging for the big man, so what's the big man's benefit?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Khitan is willing to swear an alliance with the Great Han, to submit to the Great Han forever, pay tribute every year, and never betray!" Han Derang solemnly said: "In addition, if Your Majesty is merciful, I will ask the Princess of the Great Han on behalf of my king to form a marriage country "

"You guys are so scheming, and you think too well!" Emperor Liu said coldly: "The country of marriage, isn't it in the past? When it's time to tear your face, how did you show mercy? Leave no stone unturned!
I might as well tell you the truth, when the two countries were fighting against each other in the past, Khitan still had a chance to obtain a peace treaty, now, you can weigh it yourself, does Mobei have the qualifications? "

Emperor Liu nakedly showed a bullying posture, which made Han Derang's face pale.Although he was humble before, he actually pretended to be a little bit, and he always maintained his demeanor, a little like being humiliated for the country and willing to be happy.

At this time, under the sneering words of Emperor Liu, Han Derang seemed to lose the last bit of face, threw himself on the ground, and kowtowed vigorously: "A small country dare not hate a big country. I come here to ask your majesty for mercy. If it is not allowed, then only Let the big country dare not complain"

Seeing Han Derang's gesture, Emperor Liu's expression finally returned to normal. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I understand your purpose of coming. As for whether you are allowed or not, I still have to consider it. You should step back!"

"Your Majesty, leave!" Han Derang felt both relieved and disappointed, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only be obedient and respectfully leave.

"Also, I heard that you have been visiting Tokyo often recently. Since you like it, you should stay a little longer and take a good look. If you can't see all the beauty of Tokyo, it will be a pity when you return to Mobei." Emperor Liu said slowly. Say something.

"Yes!"

"Khitan Mobei" waited for him to leave, Emperor Liu frowned, and muttered in his mouth, obviously, he was a little conflicted.

After a long time, Emperor Liu returned to normal, his eyes became sharp again, and he said to Yan Tuo, "Let's pass on Xiao Siwen!"

"My minister, Xiao Siwen, see you!" After being summoned by Emperor Liu, Xiao Siwen came in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived in front of the imperial court, he knelt down deftly, his movements not showing signs of age.

Looking at Xiao Siwen, Emperor Liu didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I have received the intention of the Khitan envoy, and you must have heard of it. I have given you a task, and you convey it to Mo Bei. I want to make friends and lift the ban." , and even want to ask for the princess, I can agree!

However, I also have conditions, and the first one is to dismiss Han Derang, Brother Yeluxiu and others.Calling a minister and paying tribute, I am not only trying to make a name for myself, I can make Yelu Longxu the king, but from then on, Mobei needs to be a Han land, and I can have the right to self-govern it.

Mobei must accept court officials to settle in and coordinate management.The army in Mobei must be reduced, and it must be inspected by the imperial court from time to time. When the imperial court mobilizes troops, it must be recruited by the imperial court.
So much first! "

"Yes! The minister must have conveyed it in place!" Xiao Siwen listened and thought about it, he couldn't help being speechless. If Mobei agreed, he might really become a vassal of the big man. This might be more beneficial than directly sending troops to conscript.

Emperor Liu murmured, "I'm not satisfied with the current Khitan!"
