The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 771

Wang Yun was slightly taken aback, he probably didn't expect Zhao Dongting to bargain so hard.

He looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "Emperor Song, Empress Dowager Xie, Emperor Gong and others spent a lot of money on food and clothing during my reign, you..."

Zhao Dongting didn't change his face, and remained indifferent, "I said before, this is my bottom line. If you talk too much, you won't have a tael of silver."

He wasn't worried at all whether Yuan Chao would release Zhao Xian and others.

These people are the real killing moves of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Shijie suddenly sighed softly, looking at Zhao Dongting with complicated eyes.

They haven't really seen through the Yuan Dynasty's intentions, they only think that the emperor doesn't want Emperor Gong and others to return to the court.At this moment, the heart is naturally extremely complicated.

Zhao Dongting's actions in the past could convince them wholeheartedly, but this time, they may have some complaints in their hearts.

But Zhao Dongting didn't look at them at all.

Wang Yun also sighed in his heart.

The moment Zhao Dongting was furious and he calmed Zhao Dongting, he knew that he had been passive in this negotiation.

How could he have the confidence to bargain with Zhao Dongting now?

What should Song Huang do if he gets angry again?
As Zhao Dongting expected, Kublai Khan actually didn't care that much about the Song Dynasty's "compensation".

Before Wang Yun went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, Kublai Khan had summoned him alone, and the meaning was only to say that it would be best if the Song Dynasty could let the Fujian Road or the military craftsman be given up. Just let Song Chao shed some blood.This is also the reason why Wang Yun was very strong from the beginning. He wanted to bluff Zhao Dongting, and really get Fujian Road or those military crafts.

But of course he never thought that Zhao Dongting would pretend to be furious to show off his power.

Looking at Zhao Dongting again at this time, Wang Yun really doubted whether Zhao Dongting had seen through their intentions.

But at Song Huangcai's age, does he really have such deep thoughts?

If this is the case, then the Emperor Song is too terrifying.

After Wang Yun hesitated for a while, he still planned to let it go, but naturally he would not agree immediately.

If the promise is too straightforward, it is very likely that these officials of the Song Dynasty will find out that something is wrong.At that time, the emperor's true intentions will be discovered, although it will not be possible to pay Zhao Xian and the empress dowager back, but the 500 million taels of silver may not be recovered.

Therefore, after Wang Yun looked at Luotuo again, he said: "Emperor Song, I still need to ask the emperor for instructions on this matter, how about I give you an answer in a few days?"

Luo Tuo still showed no sign of speaking.

Zhao Dongting sneered in his heart.

He naturally understood that Wang Yun was an envoy and Luo Tuo was here, so it was impossible for him not to dare to make up his mind about this matter.They were just embarrassed to agree immediately.

This is like asking for debt at the door.

When he first came to the door, he was very aggressive, and asked people to return all the money when he opened his mouth.In the end, when someone sent you three or two yuan in change, you just ran away, what is this?

Zhao Dongting also had no intention of making Wang Yun's group of envoys unable to come down, so he nodded, "That's fine. Now that the New Year is approaching, it's okay for all the envoys to celebrate the New Year here in Changsha."

Of course, these words are just polite words, even sarcasm.

It's okay, you can think about it slowly, anyway, I'm not in a hurry.

However, to Zhao Dongting's surprise, Luo Tuo put his palms together suddenly, nodded and said: "So, the poor monk thanked Emperor Song."

Then he got up, "I'll take my leave first."

Luo Tuo took the lead to walk outside the hall.

Naturally, Luo Zongwuba and other Yellow Sect disciples hurriedly followed.

Wang Yun and the others also saluted Zhao Dongting and the others, and then walked out of the hall.

Zhao Dongting was stunned on the spot.

Is this old monk really stupid or fake?

Can't you hear the irony?

It took more than ten seconds for Zhao Dongting to come back to his senses.

Does this old monk really plan to celebrate the New Year in Changsha?
Zhang Shijie couldn't hold back any longer, got up at this moment, and said with a complicated expression: "Why didn't the emperor agree to Wang Yun's request just now?"

Although he sighed, but as a courtier, saying such words is enough to show that he is still somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Dongting.

It is true that Zhao Dongting is a wise king, but no matter how wise he is, he can't hide his selfishness of not welcoming back Emperor Gong and others.

Just like Tang Taizong, who created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, although he created an unprecedented prosperity, but in the Xuanwumen Incident, he killed his brother and forced his father. Wasn't he always criticized after death?
Zhang Shijie may not support Zhao Xian, after all he also recognizes that Zhao Dongting is a holy king.But at the moment, it still hurts.

He murmured and sighed in his heart, "No one is perfect..."

The emperor is kind to the people, to the soldiers, and to the officials.But in the face of the turmoil in the imperial power, he finally gave up his family affection.

"Ah."

At this time, Zhao Dongting laughed lightly, his eyes swept over the crowd, "Everyone thinks that I don't want Emperor Gong, the Empress Dowager and others to return to court?"

No one speaks below.

They do.

Zhao Dongting continued: "Although I am not talented, I should ask myself, even if Emperor Gong returns to the court, you will not force me to abdicate, will you?"

He put this kind of thing on the bright side, which immediately made Lu Xiufu and others change their colors.

Lu Xiufu got up first and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The Great Song Dynasty can only prosper under the guidance of the emperor. The old minister swears to follow the emperor to the death!"

This is really not a lie.

In Zhao Dongting, they saw hope.In the past, when Empress Dowager Xie came to court, she was defeated by the Yuan army.

Wang Wenfu, Chen Wenlong and others also knelt down immediately.

In the end, even Zhang Shijie, who had been reused by the Empress Dowager Xie, knelt down on the ground to show his heart.

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Dongting laughed out loud, "Since everyone is willing to follow me and protect me, why am I worried that Emperor Gong will take away my throne when he returns to court?"

He waved his hands and said: "None of you have been able to see through Yuan Chao's true intentions. Don't say give them 500 million taels of silver. Even if you don't give them, they will send Emperor Gong back. Do you believe it or not?"

Lu Xiufu and the others all showed doubts.

Wang Wenfu said: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

Zhao Dongting said deeply: "The reason why the Yuan Dynasty sent Emperor Gong back to the country was to cause chaos in our court. Because the speed of our dynasty's development has already made Kublai Khan afraid."

There was a slight light in everyone's eyes.

Yes!

If the Yuan Dynasty really coveted Fujian Road and military craftsmanship, there is no need to wait until now to say that Emperor Gong will be returned.There was no sign of this before.

Zhang Shijie raised his buttocks slightly, and said: "What does the emperor mean, the Yuan Dynasty will definitely let Emperor Gong, the Empress Dowager and others return to the court?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "It must be so."

Zhang Shijie and the others all had joy in their eyes.

In their hearts, welcoming back Empress Dowager Xie, Queen Dowager Quan, and Zhao Xian was as longing as returning to Lin'an.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shijie quickly expressed his opinion, "Even if Emperor Gong returns to the court, the veterans will definitely support the emperor."

Lu Xiufu and the others reacted and quickly expressed their loyalty.

Anyone who doesn't show loyalty at this time is a fool, waiting for the emperor to be jealous!
Whether Emperor Gong will be able to return to the court in the end is still unknown. If they don't express their position at this time, they will not be put on by the emperor?
Of course, this was mainly because they supported Zhao Dongting in their hearts.

"Ugh……"

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, "If I hadn't seen your eagerness just now, in fact, I would not have agreed to Wang Yun's five million taels of silver. Five million..."

"emperor……"

Zhang Shijie and the others were ashamed.

All of them are veterans of the imperial court, and they have eaten more salt than Zhao Dongting has eaten rice.But he didn't think that he didn't look at things as thoroughly as Zhao Dongting.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Zhao Dongting sighed again, "Anyway, these gold and silver can only be used for foreign trade if they are placed in the treasury. It's okay to put them in the Yuan Dynasty for now."

Listening to him, it seems that the Yuan Dynasty is already in his pocket.

This made Zhang Shijie, Wang Wenfu and others secretly want to laugh, but they didn't think it was any big talk.

In just a few years, the emperor developed the Song Dynasty into what it is now. In a few years, is it impossible to destroy the Yuan Dynasty?

Although the Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory and strong soldiers and horses.But before the tens of thousands of troops were all in the Central Plains, this also made Zhang Shijie and the Song officials no longer fear the Yuan Dynasty as much as before.

In today's world, the Yuan army is no longer the strongest.It's their Great Song Dynasty, invincible and victorious in every battle.
