Kowloon wins

Chapter 847 Forbearance for the Country ([-])

"The next official kowtows to the prince!"

Seeing Hong Qing's indifferent eyes swept over, Lang Erheng's heart panicked, he couldn't help but trembled, he quickly lowered his head, rushed forward in a panic, and paid respects to him with a big salute Not enough.

"no."

Facing Lang Erheng's big gift, Hong Qing didn't call out immediately, but let him kneel there for a long time, then let out a soft sound.

"Thank you, Lord Ron."

Lang Erheng has dealt with Hong Qing quite a lot over the years. When the Russian envoy visited, he accompanied Hong Qing to deal with it. The relationship between them was originally good, and they usually met casually. Jokes, there is no excessive scruples, but at this moment, firstly, there is a ghost in his heart, and secondly, because he is suppressed by Hongqing's huge aura, Lang Erheng only feels uncomfortable, and the voice of Xie En Not to mention the trembling sound, even when he got up, he dared not stand up straight, bowed his body obscenely, trying to force a smile, but no matter how hard he tried, his face just refused to be controlled, and he twitched , no smile.

"Lang Shangshu has been raised for such a long time, so he should be in good health?"

Although Hong Qing was serious, she didn't make things difficult for Lang Erheng, she just asked a question in a calm voice, it was not so much a greeting as a routine, it was obvious that she wanted to cut the distance between each other.

"Thank you, my lord, for your enquiry. The next official is already well. I was ill a few days ago, and I couldn't fulfill my duties. I am really ashamed. Now that I am lucky enough to recover, I dare not slack off any more. I am here to discuss with the lord about the rules of the negotiation." , if there is something wrong, please ask the prince to be more generous."

Lang Erheng was not sick at all, but just pretended to be sick according to the order. Now when Hong Qing asked about his physical condition, he couldn't help feeling guilty from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly explained it with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's good to recover. The negotiation charter has been submitted to the imperial court. If there is any need to adjust it, it will not be too late to discuss it after the emperor's order."

In fact, Hong Qing had already guessed Lang Erheng's reason for coming. It was nothing more than looking for trouble. What he wanted was to disrupt the established regulations again, or to drag Hong Qing to the Lifan Academy. There was only one purpose, and that was to Heda's secret deeds to buy time, such an intention is too obvious, with Hongqing's IQ, it is clear at a glance without even having to do calculations, of course, Hongqing will not speak out, just He just quietly rejected Lang Erheng's proposal for consultation.

"This..., hehe, to tell you the truth, my lord, I went to the palace first, and all the ministers of military affairs have quite different opinions on this regulation. Since I did not participate in the drafting, it is really difficult for me to answer questions. I have no choice. I have no choice but to bother the prince."

Hearing that Hongqing refused so simply, Lang Erheng couldn't help being taken aback, but he didn't intend to just let it go, but seeing his eyeballs rolled, he was already talking nonsense with a fake smile .

Does the Minister of Military Aircraft have any opinions?Hey, nonsense, isn't it just that our bastard dad has ideas!

As soon as Lang Erheng's words came out, Hong Qing knew that it was hard for him to be kind today, and he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just nodded expressionlessly and said: "Since that's the case, Mr. Lang can just talk and listen."

"Ah, yes, the next official is bold and presumptuous."

Lang Erheng was already ready to "struggle with reason" with Hongqing, but he didn't expect Hongqing to change the subject and agree to her request for consultation. He was quick, and soon came back to his senses. First, he hurriedly saluted, and then his face became serious. He quickly organized his words, and said with a dignified expression: "Our national power in the Qing Dynasty is booming, and we are spreading our reputation overseas. The domain is the kingdom of the heavens. Today, there is a small country called Great Britain, which is thousands of miles away, coming to the court. It is because of our great reputation. This is a good thing. It is a good thing that we should make them appear before His Majesty and bow three times and nine times. The power of the Qing Dynasty is unparalleled, I wonder if the prince thinks so?"

"Well, that's one thing, and what's more, Mr. Lang, don't hide it, and let's talk about it."

After Lang Erheng made such high-profile words, although Hong Qing's expression remained unchanged, there was a mocking sneer on the corner of his mouth, nothing else, because Lang Erheng's proposal was simply a joke. Since then, the Kingdom of Great Britain is not the first western country to visit. As early as the early years of Kangxi, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands and other old colonial countries have successively sent envoys to visit. The audience ceremony of kowtow nine bows, because of this, did not really meet the emperor, and the old man never felt sorry for these envoys. At the Emperor Chengde's place, he turned out what had become a regular practice to talk nonsense again. If this is not intentional, so what?It's just that Hong Qing didn't intend to have a fit, and she wasn't in a hurry to give Lang Erheng an explanation. She just let out a soft voice and continued to ask questions calmly.

"Your Majesty, this time, since the Kingdom of Great Britain intends to conduct friendly trade with the Qing Dynasty, it should be quite sincere. Today, our Qing Dynasty fleet has traveled across the oceans. Although the profits are huge, the risks are not small. Losses happen all the time, if the other country intends to set up some trade in our Qing Dynasty, it seems to reduce the risk of our Qing Dynasty Ocean, if there is no difference in profit, it seems to be acceptable, and it is better than the long-distance voyage mentioned in the regulations As far as the Shendu (India) transaction is concerned, I wonder if the prince has any overall consideration for this?"

Lang Erheng came here to find trouble. Although he could see the unhappiness hidden under Hong Qing's indifferent face, Lang Erheng did not give up. Instead, he laughed and continued to shoot at the regulations drawn up by Hong Qing.

"Well, is there anything else, let's continue."

If the first point mentioned by Lang Erheng can still be explained by Yang Guowei, the second point he mentioned is completely unreasonable and unreasonable, but Hong Qing still never happened to him, nor did he In terms of explanation, he just asked quietly.

"This..., hehe, I made the prince laugh. These two points are fundamental. As for the minor issues that follow, let's discuss it for now."

Lang Erheng was able to climb to the high position of Shangshu of the Lifan Academy, of course it was because Emperor Chengde supported behind him back then, but he himself can be regarded as a rare talent in Prince Cheng's family back then, and he is not a dull person. Seeing that Hongqing has never told the truth, how could he not know that the situation is not good, even with the acquiescence and support of Emperor Chengde behind him, but a hero does not suffer from immediate losses, if he is really hit by Hongqing as a target I'm afraid that Emperor Chengde might not dare to support him to the end. Thinking of this, Lang Erheng didn't dare to be more presumptuous, so he hurriedly yelled, and then stopped, but he didn't say anything to death , and left a small tail that can advance and retreat.

"I'm afraid it's not good for Mr. Lang to be so dedicated to state affairs. In this case, I will leave these two matters to you to figure out. Don't worry, there is still more than half a month before the arrival of the British envoys. Err Just do it slowly.”

Hong Qing was not so easy to fool, she was not in a hurry with Lang Erheng at all, nor was she angry at him, but put on airs like an imperial envoy prince, and unceremoniously put the responsibility on his head.

"Ah, this..."

Lang Erheng's purpose of bringing up such nonsense was to embarrass Hong Qing, but he didn't expect that Hong Qing didn't even give an explanation, and then transferred the problem to herself, even if she was dumbfounded, she opened her mouth and wanted to explain for a while. Fan, under the flustered state, I really didn't know what to say for a while.

"Mr. Lang is a talented person. This king has always known about it. He has been a minister of the Li Fan Academy for many years. He is very familiar with diplomatic matters, so there is no need to refuse. This king believes that Mr. Lang will fulfill his duties. This matter is settled like this, give me ten days to come up with the corresponding rules and regulations, let's go."

Hongqing didn't give Lang Erheng a chance to breathe at all, and didn't intend to listen to his explanation. After explaining in an indisputable tone, he immediately issued the order to evict the guest with a cold face.

"My lord Mingjian, I'm an official, I'm an official..."

Hearing Hongqing's order, Lang Erheng became anxious. There is nothing else, it is easy to criticize, but it is not a simple matter to come up with a charter. Don't look at what Lang Erheng said before. I understand the family affairs, he doesn't have Hongqing's ability, and asking him to start a new stove, isn't it his old life, guilty, how can he dare to accept orders, so he has to say something to refuse in a hurry.

"see a visitor out!"

Lang Erheng wanted to quibble, but He Hongqing didn't intend to give him a chance at all, and before he hesitated to come up with a reason, his face turned serious, and he stopped drinking mercilessly.

"twitter!"

Hearing Hongqing's order, Ding Song, who was waiting by the side, dared not neglect him, and immediately agreed loudly, walked up to Lang Erheng in a few strides, and waved his hand without any explanation: "Lang Erheng My lord, please!"

"Farewell to the official!"

Seeing Ding Song standing in front of him so stubbornly, although Lang Erheng was very unwilling, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had no choice but to leave.

"Forbearance for the country? Hey..."

It is not Hongqing's original intention to deal with Lang Erheng in this way. If Hongqing's past behavior style is followed, how can Lang Erheng pass the test so easily? After all, the current situation is too delicate, Hong Qing really doesn't want to break face with Emperor Chengde at this moment, and makes things difficult for him, Hong Qing can only smile coldly It's over...
