I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

No matter how frantic Qian Ren is, he will not attack one of his envoys in Honglu Temple!

Think of this.

Li Zheng called the guards and ordered: "Prepare the horse, I'm going to Honglu Temple!"

After half an hour.

Li Zheng arrived at Honglu Temple with several guards.

After knocking on the door, the door slowly opened.

A middle-aged man in an official robe stood there, saw Li Zheng, and asked, "But Mr. Hu from the mission?"

Li Zheng glanced at his official robe, and replied: "Master Hu has something to do and can't come for the time being. My deputy, Li Zheng, will come to visit instead of Mr. Hu."

The middle-aged man asked again: "Can you trust me?"

Li Zheng nodded, took out the letter from his arms, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took it with his hand, glanced at it, returned it, and said with a smile on his face: "My official, Shaoqing Zhou Zheng of Honglu Temple, has received His Majesty's order to contact your country's mission."

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Li Zheng also had a smile on his face, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Yesterday they were blocked outside, but today Shaoqing greeted them personally, the difference is too big!

However, looking at Zhou Zheng with a kind face in front of him.

Li Zheng didn't think much about it, exchanged some greetings, and followed him into Honglu Temple.

main hall.

The two sat down respectively, followed by another round of greetings.

After the greeting.

Zhou Zheng went straight to the point and said, "I'm going to do a big job with the mission of your country this time, so what's the matter?"

experienced what happened yesterday.

Now Li Zheng just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and he didn't bother to beat around the bush. He said bluntly: "The prime minister of your country recently beheaded 320 seven people from our Great Wu grain merchants for no reason. My emperor sent a mission to ask clearly, these grain merchants What crime is there to suffer this severe punishment!"

Zhou Zheng said solemnly: "They are driving up grain prices, the evidence is solid, and they should be executed according to the law!"

Li Zhengdao: "Let's not talk about the authenticity of the evidence, let's say that those grain merchants are all from my Wu. Even if they commit a serious crime, they should be handed over to my country of Wu for questioning. Your Gan country didn't even send a single document, so you sent them to the country. They all asked to beheaded!

This kind of arrogance is not what a state of etiquette does!

If you do this, let my emperor explain to the people of Wu, how to explain to the dead souls!How to explain to their relatives! "

talking and talking.

Li Zheng's tone became extremely severe, almost reprimanding Zhou Zheng!

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and asked, "What can we do now that this is the case?"

Li Zheng was still very angry when he heard this, but he was overjoyed in his heart.

In the final analysis, Gan Guo still only dared to use some indiscriminate means to disgust the mission.

If something happens to you, you have to give in obediently!

"The Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom is still the original Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom, without any change!"

Think of this.

Li Zheng no longer hesitated, took out the previously drawn agreement, sent it to Zhou Zheng, and said with a straight face: "For the sake of the friendship between our two countries for generations.

As long as the prime minister of the country is willing to personally pay homage to the 320 seven souls who died, and pay 200 million taels of compensation.

For this matter, my emperor can let it go! "

Zhou Zheng picked up the document and scanned it from top to bottom.

Then, looking at Li Zheng, he said, "In my opinion, there are three things that need to be revised in this agreement!"

Li Zheng had expected this, and said, "Let's listen."

he knows.

Negotiation is to ask for a price and pay back the money on the spot.

It is almost impossible for Qian Guo to admit this loss as soon as he comes up.

As long as the final compensation is 100 million taels, the court can accept it.

Li Zheng thought so

Suddenly I heard Zhou Zhengdao:

"First of all, the amount of compensation has to be changed. In my opinion, 200 million is too little, and 300 million is more appropriate!"

"Secondly, in addition to the compensation, one more thing has to be added. The tariffs paid by my large-scale goods entering the country of Wu should be negotiated by the two countries!"

"The First Cause of All Realms"

"Finally, in the agreement, the positions of Qian and Wu should be reversed!"

Chapter 42 Let Shifan sign the agreement

When Li Zheng heard the first two changes, he was still a little dazed, thinking: "It's the first time I've seen someone want to pay more money, so the Prime Minister of Qianguo is crazy!"

But when he heard the third change, he was completely dumbfounded.

Subconsciously looking at Zhou Zheng, he said in surprise, "What did you say?"

Zhou was expressionless and repeated:

"My official said that in the agreement, the positions of Gan and Wu should be reversed!"

This time, Li Zheng believed that he had heard correctly.

He widened his eyes and said angrily, "Absurd!"

Zhou Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said blankly: "You don't have to sign! But ten days later, I will go south to attack Wu as a king's teacher!"

The word Gong Wu was exported as soon as it came out.

Li Zheng was dumbfounded again.

To be honest, before he came to Honglu Temple, he never thought that Qianguo might be tougher.

But he thinks.

With the weak personality of the prime minister of the Qian Kingdom, no matter how tough he is, he will not pay compensation or apologize.

Never thought of it anyway.

How dare people turn around and demand compensation from them!

Not only to ask for compensation, but also to agree on tariffs.

Although there are not many products that can be sold to Wu in Qian State, once this agreement is signed, it will be tantamount to losing power and humiliating the country!

Not to mention him, even Lord Shoufu and even His Majesty will be scolded bloody by the people!

Think of this.

With a jolt, his mind cleared up a bit, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You're dreaming! No matter what, I can't sign this agreement!"

Zhou Zheng said expressionlessly: "I still say the same thing, you don't have to sign it. In ten days, I will go south to attack Wu!"

"Just you?"

Li Zheng tried his best to calm himself down, pretending to be indifferent, and said disdainfully, "Oh! I'm afraid you won't even have the food and grass for the war!"

The voice just fell.

Zhou Zheng stood up suddenly, glanced at Li Zheng, and said lightly, "You can go back!"

When Li Zheng heard this, his face showed anger, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could open his mouth, Zhou Zhengfeng said lightly, "Ten days later, I will officially attack Wu!"

After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he turned and left the main hall.

He didn't show the slightest hesitation from the beginning to the end, as if he was ready to go to war!

Li Zheng looked at his back as he left, feeling dazed for a while.

He clearly understands.

If Qianguo chooses to go south at this time, it will form a front and back attack with Yueguo.

In this way, Great Wu is in danger!

Think of this.

Cold sweat broke out on Li Zheng's forehead, and he could no longer remain calm, so he stood up and walked outside Honglu Temple.

such an important thing.

As a small deputy envoy, how dare he make a decision, and finally he had to go back and ask Hu Shifan for instructions.

After half an hour.

Li Zheng returned to the restaurant, without saying a word, pushed Hu Shifan's room away, and walked in.

Looking around for a week, I suddenly found out.

Hu Shifan sat slumped on the ground, his eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he was in a daze.

obviously.

At this time, Hu Shifan had already woken up and recovered his memory of yesterday.

Li Zheng looked at him, thought for a while, and walked up, and said: "Master Hu, you have to cheer up!"

"The mission is still waiting for you to preside over the overall situation!"

Hu Shifan stared blankly ahead, motionless, as if his heart had died.

Seeing this scene, Li Zheng sighed in his heart. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only tell him the result of today's negotiation.

"Master Hu, Qianguo wants our Great Wu to pay 300 million taels of silver and agree on tariffs. Otherwise, we will send troops to the south. What should I do? Should I sign the agreement or not?"

Hu Shifan's eyes were still dull.

Seeing this, Li Zheng anxiously said: "Master Hu, what should I do, you have to give me a word!"

When Hu Shifan heard this, he finally reacted a bit.

He glanced at Li Zheng, and his lips moved slightly.

Seeing this, Li Zheng showed surprise on his face, and leaned forward: "Master Hu, what did you say?"

Hu Shifan slowly spit out a word: "Get lost!"

When Li Zheng heard this, his expression froze instantly.

At this point.

He finally understood that Hu Shifan was hopeless.

"There are still ten days to write to Mr. Shoufu, there should be time!"

Li Zheng thought of this, picked up a brush, and wrote down the content of the negotiation on paper.

I wrote two copies in total, handed them to two guards, and said: "This letter is related to the life and death of my Great Wu! It must be delivered to Mr. Shoufu within two days!"

The two guards cupped their hands and said, "Yes, my lord!"

After speaking, he reached out to take the letter and left the restaurant.

Li Zheng watched the two of them leave, and the tiredness accumulated in the past two days suddenly surged like a tide.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes went dark, and he fainted on the ground.

Two days later.

Kingdom of Wu, the imperial palace, in the Hall of Pure Heart.

Emperor Zhao Ji looked at the letter in his hand, frowned, his face was full of worry, and sighed: "The war in the south is still raging, and this incident happened in the north again, what should we do!"

Hu Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, looked at Zhao Ji, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty! Don't believe everything you say in the letter!
