The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 349
"Messenger Zhao, if you don't speak, it's an acquiescing condition."

The sun shone into the middle hall, and Zhao Huanzhi, who was still in a daze, suddenly woke up. He raised his face and looked at the first person, Geng Qing, with a serious expression and indifferent eyes. I feel uncomfortable all over.

"Prince Yong, it is really difficult for me to answer the two conditions you mentioned to my emperor. Concubine Xu and concubine Xu are my emperor's mother and aunt, and Shannan West Road is the land of the country. How can I easily give it to others?"

"It's said that if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, since the envoy has come, he naturally has a price in his heart." Geng Qing flicked his cuffs, took the teacup and blew on the floating tea stems, "If the envoy doesn't want to say It doesn't matter, then it's better to go back to Shu earlier and convey Gu's words to your emperor. Whether he agrees or not is his business. No, it’s impossible to say that those unruly soldiers really did something out of the ordinary, the envoy will not talk to Gu like this.”

"King Yong is threatening?"

When he arrived at the palace, Zhao Huanzhi, who had been tempered, had been limp all the time. At this time, he finally lifted his toughness as an envoy and scholar, and he got up from the chair with his fists clenched and walked to the center, his eyes questioning.

On the opposite side, Geng Qing didn't smile either, but took a sip of tea and raised his cuff: "Take it as a threat, Dou Wei, send your envoy out!"

Fatty's figure came from one side, and Zhao Huanzhi in the middle spread his hands to invite him to go out, but the latter didn't even look at Dou Wei, and didn't intend to move.

"The majestic King Yong is so narrow-minded, he is an unknown teacher, and he is greedy for other people's mothers and other people's land. It is really the same as the rumors of the people below. It is simply unsightly. King Yong learned from Cong, but he learned a crooked way!"

clap clap clap.
Geng Qing smiled and puffed up his palms, raised his chin, told Dou Wei not to drive the other party out for now, and said with a smile: "Well said, no one has scolded me like this for a long time, I just came here as an envoy, just such a sinful person , Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to meet the errands?"

"Hmph, there are only emperors who cut off their heads. How can there be a king who cede the land? Even if my emperor fights to the death, he will never sacrifice his mother to cede the land!" Zhao Huanzhi knew that the matter could not go on, so he simply gambled. Well, if his words can still pierce the heart of King Yong and settle the peace negotiation, then he will really be able to return to Shu, and it will be easy for His Majesty to do business in front of him.

Dou Wei on the side looked at this Confucian scholar who was over [-] years old with his plump lips and gave him a thumbs up.

This made Zhao Huanzhi more convinced of his thoughts. Over there, Geng Qing leaned on the back of the chair and just nodded, with a smile on his face again, and raised his hand to flick it out.

"Drag on, stick twenty, and drive you out of the palace!"

Zhao Huanzhi's smile froze, and before he could speak, Dou Wei, who had just shown his thumbs up to show respect, grabbed him by the shoulder and dragged him outside the door. The former struggled back and shouted: "King Yong, King Yong"

"Speaking disrespectfully and offending King Yong of my family, why don't you think about it? I admire you. It's the first stick in the new year. Unexpectedly, you will come to take it!"

Dou Wei's loud voice mixed with Zhao Huanzhi's call disappeared at the corner of the front yard. Amidst the shrill screams that came soon after, Geng Qing drank his morning tea, got up and returned to the courtyard to deal with government affairs. There are also Khitan people in the north, who are left to worry about the fights between the Central Plains and the Jin land.

The screams went away, and when they returned to the study room in the atrium, the stove was already on, and amidst the smoke, Geng Qing flipped through the recent letters from Khitan. The letters came in the winter of last year, and there were only two of them. , are all written by Zhao Hongjun himself. He was imprisoned by the Khitan Queen, and he cleverly told the other party that Geng Qing had a night with the other party, and also lied to the other party that a child was born with Geng Qing, so he escaped and ascended to heaven.

The following content is that after that incident, miraculously received the care of the Khitan queen, and many Khitan nobles joined this 'business'.

With such a huge flow of money, Zhao Hongjun is obviously unable to do what he wants. The daily turnover alone is an amount he has never heard of in his life. He keeps urging Geng Qing in the letter not to show his weakness, and hurry up to make 100 servings Send him the land deed, land deed, store deed and other things.

"This guy talks nonsense. I haven't even touched a toe of Yue Liduo. This pot is on his head? What nonsense, if Yelu Abaoji finds out, Khitan will probably turn upside down? If he really knows Will Yelu Abaoji and Yue Liduo really fight? Yue Liduo's natal family does not seem to be a soft persimmon."

A flash of light flashed through his mind. In his correspondence with Zhao Hongjun several times, he understood somewhat that the Khitan emperor and empress were somewhat different from the royal family of the Central Plains dynasty. How would Yelu Abaoji react when he heard about the sewage splashed on him?Bear this hat?Or is it duplicity, quietly seizing Yue Liduo's military power?

Did Yue Lido bear it?Or a fight between the couple?Is the maiden's family helping the emperor, or helping her own family?

"Tsk tsk. If that's the case, if you give Khitan some trouble, it will be able to delay the other party."

After all, in Zhao Hongjun's second letter, it was clearly mentioned that at the end of last year, there were signs of large-scale mobilization of the Khitan tribal army, and some of the leather army under the direct control of the emperor also went outside the city.

"Now that spring is coming in February, the Khitan side should be ready to go south to fight the battle for the founding of the country."

As for when he will choose to go south, Geng Qing doesn’t know, but it’s still cold in the north in February, and it should be after March, when the climate warms up. Yunzhou, with its vast land and sparse population, is definitely not the place for the opponent to attack, he will only choose Yanmen, Youzhou.

Geng Qing spread out the blank letter paper, polished the ink, and wrote a reply letter to Zhao Hongjun.

Brother Hongjun:

Seeing your letter, knowing that Khitan is safe and sound, I am very relieved. The purchase and sale have been arranged by others, so you can rest assured. However, the movement of Khitan mentioned in your letter makes you uneasy. I hope you can clarify its target time , Urgently passed on to Chang'an.

In addition, you and I have done a good job of buying and selling. When the Khitan army confronts You or Jin, you can detonate this 'thunder'. If possible, you should also disclose the matter of Yue Liduo to the outside world.
The eloquent handwriting stretched out row by row on the clean white paper. This is because he is different from others writing vertically. It is difficult to distinguish at first glance, but it can be clearly seen in the hands of Zhao Hongjun, who often communicates.

Just as the last handwriting was being written, there was a knock on the study door, and Geng Qing casually said, "Come in."

Dou Wei pushed the door lightly and walked in. After closing the door, he cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting to the master, the envoy from the Shu region has finished his execution and has been picked up by their people." When he said this, he was a little hesitant, seeing that Geng Qing over there didn't respond, and just took the letter paper to dry the ink on it, and then Cautiously asked: "Master, do you really want someone else's mother? I'm afraid this is really not good?"

Ha ha.

Geng Qing put down the letter paper, folded it and put it in an envelope, and looked at him with a smile: "That is to say, two old women who have given birth to children, how can I be attracted to them alone? This is a trick of doing business."

He stuffed the letter to Dou Wei, and went to pull the door open.

"When you do business, you need to shout higher, and I can make a lot of money after bargaining." Geng Qing looked at the sunshine in the courtyard, "Actually, what I want in my heart is only half of Shannan West Road. Not a fat man."

Dou Wei froze for a moment, then pointed to himself.

"My lord, why can't I become a big fat man? Am I not?!"

The figure who walked to the front didn't bother to pay attention to the big fat man who was chasing him. Geng Qing still had a lot of things to deal with, and he tried to finish it within two days. After all, he needed to spare time to hold a family banquet to welcome his brother and son back.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

At the edge of the long pavilion ten miles away from Chang'an, Geng Qing stood on the eaves of the pavilion and looked at the vast official road. The fast horses of the investigation rode back and forth two or three times, and the figures of a group of people appeared in the field of vision.
