back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 148 Treaty Details
Lu Chengqi smiled and said, "I wonder when Ambassador Yelu will return to China?"

Yeluliang said: "It's been a long time since I've been out, and I'll stay for another day at most before returning home."

Hearing Yeluliang's words, Lu Chengqi pondered for a while, and said, "Forget it, let's discuss the details today. Where is the Minister of Rites?" The Minister of Rites among the accompanying officials at this moment heard Lu Chengqi's call, and hurriedly came out and said: " The minister is here!"

"Feng Qing, you can talk to Ambassador Yelu now. I don't know much about the details, so you should come." Lu Chengqi said lightly, without hiding his ignorance.

Feng Chengping really wanted to let go of the burden, so Lu Chengqi took care of it.According to Lu Chengqi's instruction, the negotiation between countries has gone beyond Feng Chengping's understanding.Every inch of land must be fought for, and every inch will not be conceded. The only purpose is to preserve the core interests of the country, as well as national sovereignty and territorial integrity.Feng Chengping hadn't even heard of these words, it was Lu Chengqi who explained for a long time, what is core interests, what is sovereignty, and what is territory.

Feng Chengping's head full of classics and Confucianism took a long time to understand that the core interest is to maintain the basic system and national security of the Dashun Dynasty; sovereignty means that a country can independently handle its own internal and external affairs and manage its own country. that power.The integrity of the territory is easy to understand, but what Lu Chengqi means is that the Dashun Dynasty was established on the previous dynasties. Wherever the territory of the Han Dynasty expanded, that is the homeland of our dynasty; .Even if you can't take it back for a while, you have to find a way to fight with your mouth and take advantage of it.To put it bluntly, it is tough to the end.

Feng Chengping was driven crazy by Lu Chengqi. In Confucianism, where is there such a rascal thought?I don't know how Taishi Yang taught Lu Chengqi back then, he was full of bad water, and he didn't look like a person who had read poetry and books at all.One profit per bite, one transaction per bite, isn't this just like a philistine businessman!

Feng Chengping didn't want to take this job. Lu Chengqi's words made him suspect that the Confucianism he had studied for more than 30 years was wrong, because Lu Chengqi said in a firm voice: "At the negotiating table, there are no friends, only enemies! Stressing benevolence, righteousness and morality is tantamount to sending sheep to the tiger's mouth! Of course, you must fight for every inch of land and never give up an inch. Don't worry, I will support you behind you, the court of Dashun will support you behind you, and there will be Wanwan Dashun The people are supporting you, what are you afraid of?" Lu Chengqi said when Feng Chengping and Liu Geng went to negotiate.

I'm really afraid of what will happen, in order to keep my iron rice bowl, I should hold my nose and admit it!Feng Chengping sighed in his heart, but he still responded, and in front of all civil and military officials, he started arguing with Yeluliang like a philistine businessman.

Seeing Feng Chengping, who is usually gentle and elegant, arguing with others so disregarding his image, all the civil and military officials were so shocked that their eyes widened, as if they didn't know him.

Only Lu Chengqi smiled and watched with interest.But he said in his heart: "If I had known that the Khitan people would admit defeat in just one archery match, I would not have made so many false things. I would just go straight to the point and force them to admit defeat. Well, that's right, isn't Yelu Hongji in Jin Yong's works the same?" In this way, seeing Xiao Feng with outstanding martial arts, didn't he also admire Xiao Feng so much that he directly sworn brothers with him and became a high official of the Great King of the Southern Courtyard? It seems that this is the Achilles' heel of the Khitan people, and we should make good use of it. By the way , Xiao Feng, I heard from Wang Shao that there is indeed Xiao Feng, and I thought it was a character invented by Jin Yong. I just don’t know if Xiao Feng’s martial arts are as powerful, how is he better than Fatty Lu?”

Lu Chengqi was thinking, thinking, but his eyes turned to Lu Chenhuan, looking up and down at this fat man with a big belly, quite surprised that such a fat man can still be so agile, could it be that he also has kung fu?
Seeing Lu Chengqi sizing him up, Lu Chenhuan was overjoyed, pretended to be simple and honest, grinned at Lu Chengqi, and said in his heart: "The little emperor has noticed me, hehe, the limelight is not in vain! Think I have been studying martial arts for many years, and I finally showed my face in front of people. My stubborn master probably didn't expect me to be here today!"

Seeing Lu Chenhuan's appearance, Lu Chengqi almost couldn't help laughing, quickly put on a straight face, pretending to be serious, and focused on Feng Chengping and Yeluliang, but said in his heart: "This fat man Lu is a clown!"

Why does Lu Chengqi look at Lu Chenhuan differently?Because of Lu Chenhuan's figure, Lu Chengqi reminded Lu Chengqi of his best friend in his previous life, who was also a fat man.The two wore a pair of open crotch pants since they were young, skipped class together, and were beaten together. Those are Lu Chengqi's most important memories of his previous life, besides his parents.After being reborn for so long, the daily government affairs have dragged Lu Chengqi to the Chui Gong Palace.Dashun was troubled both internally and externally, and he did not dare to relax.As a result, apart from Zhou Zhiruo, there is no one who can speak intimately. This emperor is really lonely!

Lu Chengqi sighed in his heart, and thought: "No wonder the emperor was called lonely in ancient times. Being an emperor is really lonely!" He thought of Su Shi, Shen Kuo, Yang Hong, Tang Xun, Su Song, etc. who were reused by him. These ministers, these can only be said to be his courtiers, but they can hardly be called friends.Which courtier dares to call the emperor a friend, I am afraid it will be too long.It is also impossible for Lu Chengqi to let go of his status and make friends with them, otherwise the majesty of the Tian family will not exist at all, how can he convince the crowd?
Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi suddenly understood why many ancient emperors had distorted mentality.There are so many troublesome things, no one tells them, and they are kept in their hearts. As time goes by, the hostility will accumulate more and more, and the temperament will change because of it.Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang lost Empress Ma, and his behavior became more perverse; Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, without Empress Xu, also made many mistakes.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi couldn't help being vigilant in his heart. He was very afraid that he would become such a person in the future. In that case, it would not only be himself, but the entire Dashun court and the entire Dashun people who would be harmed.

At this time, the negotiation between Feng Chengping and Yeluliang was coming to an end.The deputy envoys on both sides wrote down the clauses on the rice paper one by one.The details include that Dashun does not transport any strategic materials, including food, ironware, ore, salt, weapons, bows and arrows, etc.The two sides set up a dispute between Tanzhou in Dashun and Bei'an Prefecture in Liao. The armies of both sides are not allowed to enter within a hundred miles. Once they enter, the treaty will be invalidated.After Cheng and Lu Chengqi took a look at it, he asked the servant to bring out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which was stamped with two big red seals squarely.

There are two copies of this treaty, each of Shun and Liao holds one copy.After the two parties confirm that they are correct, the implementation will begin immediately.Yeluliang and other Khitan envoys breathed a sigh of relief when the dust settled.

Afterwards, Lu Chengqi announced that he would hold a banquet in Yujin Garden for the Khitan Mission.All civil and military officials and imperial guards can participate. There is a saying that "the whole world celebrates together".
