Chapter 399: Whoever blackmails

The golden man...

A hint of anger flashed across Yelu Zhengde's eyes, he was secretly surprised and said coldly: "For me, the Jin people are nothing but scabies, and it is not worth mentioning. Don't misjudgment the situation."

Chen Ao smiled and said, it would be fine if it was a scabies. At this time, the Jin people were already out of power and their troops surrounded the capital of Liao Kingdom, Shangjing. If he remembered nothing wrong, the Liao Kingdom would perish in another year. However, at this time, the news was relatively closed. Moreover, the civil and military officials in the court were still very blindly obeying the Liao people, and they still believed that the Khitans were still the unstoppable Khitans decades ago, but they did not know that once the Liao Kingdom declined, it would be a thousand miles away. In a few years, they had been beaten to pieces by the Jin people.

This time, Yelu Zhengde came to ask for annual tribute, just to make a big profit and raise military expenses to resist the Jin people. If Chen Ao expected, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom should have arrived in Bianjing soon to contact the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao.

The Khitans were about to end their journey, but they did not forget to make a big profit from the Song Dynasty. It was really ridiculous and hateful.

Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Is the scabies afflicted? That's great. I'm afraid that the envoy of the State will return to Shangjing. Shangjing has fallen into the iron hoof of the Jin man. Humph, let's not hide it. My guest just now was the envoy of the Jin Kingdom. He asked to attack your country with my Song Dynasty. At this time, will the envoy of the State still be arrogant?"

These words made Yelu Zhengde sweat involuntarily. The Jin people rose up and were undefeated repeatedly. The Liao Kingdom was in danger. The southerners had not noticed this news yet, but if the Jin people contacted each other and made an appointment, they would really attack each other, and the Liao Dynasty would be destroyed.

He originally wanted to rely on the Khitans' previous power to intimidate the Southerners, but he never thought that the Southerners had learned the news.

No wonder, no wonder... No wonder the Nanren, who has always been timid and fearful, suddenly became tough and everything in front of him could be explained.

Chen Ao sneered: "Does the national envoy still want this annual monies?"

Yelu Zhengde was unwilling to give up and said, "This is our previous agreement, in accordance with the alliance between the two countries..."

"Covenant?" Chen Ao stood up, interrupted him, and said disdainfully: "The Song and Jin covenant will be signed sooner or later. As for you Khitan dogs, haha... I will just say it. My Song Dynasty has made up my mind to recover Yan Yun. By then, the Jin people and us will attack the Liao Kingdom. This covenant will be just a pile of waste paper."

Yelu Zhengde's face changed drastically. If the Song and Jin really formed an alliance, it would be like the last straw that crushed the Khitan. At this point, the issue of annual monies is a trivial matter. In any case, as the Liao envoy, he wanted to destroy the peace talks between Song and Jin. He hurriedly said: "Since the imperial envoy Chen opened the skylight and said in a bright way, I will not hide it. My Great Liao was indeed threatened by the Jin people, but the Jin people are fierce. You are a swearing with the Jin people is like a trick with the tiger. The most urgent thing is that Song and Liao have a good relationship and resisting the Jin people together is the right way."

"It is said that the imperial envoy Chen is a lucky minister in front of the Song Dynasty. Please tell your national lord about this reason."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "We are talking about the issue of the annual monies of Song and Liao dynasties. As for the Jin Kingdom, let's put it aside for the time being. I only ask you, do you want this annual monies or not?"

Yelu Zhengde gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "The two countries have good friendships, and annual monies are just means of ritual exchanges. If the Song State is currently in a tight treasury, how could the Liao Dynasty make things difficult for others?"

Chen Ao said: "What should I do if the Lord Gao offended the envoy?"

Yelu Zhengde forced a smile and said, "Although Shanggao Hou is a little impulsive, he is very keen on my appetite. Please don't punish him. On the contrary, if I have the chance, I will make friends with him."

Chen Ao said oh, sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and said dumbly: "In this way, has this foreign matter been agreed upon?"

Yelu Zhengdedao: "It's just a golden man..."

Chen Ao interrupted him: "I said, one code will be one code, the Jin people are Jin people, the Song and Liao people are Song and Liao people, and now I won't talk about Jin people." He looked at Yelu Zhengde up and down, continued to cross his legs, and his eyes reached Yelu Zhengde's waist bag.

I'm cheating, this is, isn't it said that foreign envoys come to Bianjing and want to give gifts to others? Where is the gift? The Khitans are indeed barbarians and don't even understand these rules.

Yelu Zhengde saw Chen Ao's appearance, but he was confused. He was full of thought about the Jin people, and was even more afraid that Song and Jin would really reach a contract. This would make the Khitan worse. Seeing Chen Ao looking at his waist, he was stunned for a moment. What was the intention of this young imperial envoy?

Chen Ao coughed and said to Yelu Zhengde with a smile: "The bag on your waist looks very good. Is it sewn with mink?"

This was a hint to Yelu Zhengde. Yelu Zhengde's mind had not turned around yet, but Wang Yi, who was beside him, hurriedly winked at Yelu Zhengde. After a while, Yelu Zhengde understood and took off the treasure bag and said, "This is indeed a sewn from the best marten fur. Why? Chen Qinzhang likes it? Then he should regard it as a meeting gift for Chen Qinzhang."

The bag also contains two east beads and a little broken silver. Yelu Zhengde is not easy to take out, but now he gives it to Chen Ao together, which makes him feel quite painful.

Chen Ao said with a stern face: "Grand Envoy of the State Council quickly take it back. I am honest and honest, and I have a clean and honest man. How can I accept your gift? This gift is too expensive and I cannot ask for it." He pushed the treasure bag back and said: "I am the scholars, and I read the book of sages. Not to mention a squid bag, I don't want it even if I put three or four thousand jin of silver coins. Please love yourself!"

Not to mention it is a marten bag, this sentence means that the marten bag is not valuable; it just contains three or four thousand guan. Why does he just want to say three or four thousand guan?

Wang Yi immediately understood, looked at Chen Ao deeply, and ignored the etiquette and pulled Yelu Zhengde aside, saying, "General, this imperial envoy is going to ask you for bribes."

How did Yelu Zhengde understand the profoundness of the Southern languages ​​and said in confusion: "Did he say he is honest or not, but he doesn't want it even if he has three or four thousand guan of silver?"

Wang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "He means that if he wants to give it, he will also give it five or six thousand guan, otherwise he would not want it. General, this person can speak in front of the king of Song State and want to break the Song and Jin agreement, maybe he can get rid of him."

Yelu Zhengde agreed deeply, and looked at Chen Ao, who was sitting in a dangerous place, and looked at him with a righteous look, but smiled bitterly: "Five or six thousand guan, this is not a decisive number. This person's appetite is too big." He thought to himself, thinking about how to raise bribes, and then returned to Chen Ao's seat, saying, "I admire him very much. Since Chen Qinzhang does not accept such expensive gifts, in a few days, I will give some specialties from the Liao Kingdom. These specialties are not worth much money, and I will not make Chen Qinzhang embarrassed."

The negotiations finally prelude. The two sides negotiated in a friendly atmosphere and reached an agreement. Yelu Zhengde was moved by Chen Ao's character. Chen Ao also cherished Yelu Zhengde. When he was about to leave, Chen Ao kept sending Yelu Zhengde out and holding Yelu Zhengde's hand: "Brother Yelu, you and I have a great time to talk to each other. I don't know when we will meet each other today."

Yelu Zhengde said reluctantly: "Where Xieting is far away, the scenery is always sad, the guests disperse the blue sky and the moon, the mountains are empty and the clear water flows, please come back."

Chen Aomei said with a slut: "Brother Yelu still likes to recite poems? That's great."

On the second day, Yelu Zhengde entered the court and reiterated the favor of the Song and Liao dynasties for thousands of years. He handed it to the letter of the country. When Zhao Ji saw it, he was stunned for a moment. The letter did not mention the annual monies. Instead, it was about the kindness of the Emperor Muhua of the Great Song Dynasty of Liao. He was willing to contribute five hundred strong horses and one thousand sheepskins. He was willing to be an alliance with the Song Dynasty forever and never say he was betrayed.

Today, the sun came out to the west. In previous years, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom were all asking for excessive demands and being unreasonable. This year, not only did they respect Zhao Ji in terms of wording, but they changed from His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. And not only did they not have gifts, they gave gifts instead.

Zhao Ji glanced at His Highness Chen Ao. Because Chen Ao was going to hand over the imperial envoy today, he went to the hall in a breeze dress. At this stop, he was drowsy and his eyelids were fighting. Seeing Zhao Ji's eyes falling, Chen Ao quickly cheered up and dispelled his sleepiness.

Last night was so brain-breaking. Yelu Zhengde, a friend, didn't make friends in vain, so he gave himself a car of specialties overnight. Chen Ao is his favorite specialties, such as the hand warmer made of gold and a sword made of silver. He is an artist. He couldn't put down the craftsmanship of the Liao Kingdom and never slept all night.

Yelu Zhengde said humbly, and the court was in an uproar. After Zhao Ji comforted Yelu Zhengde, he immediately announced that he would leave the palace and announce his retreat. This time, Chen Ao was left alone.

Staring at Chen Ao, Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed. What method was this person using to make the envoys of the Liao Kingdom surrender? The Khitans have been arrogant for hundreds of years. Today, they have given Zhao Ji enough face, making Zhao Ji happy.

"Did Your Majesty want to ask the students how to convince the envoys of the Liao Kingdom?" Chen Ao saw through Zhao Ji's thoughts at a glance.

Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly, full of expectations.

Chen Ao said seriously: "The Khitan is a country of barbarians. The sage said a long time ago that barbarians are beasts, they do not understand education and do not understand etiquette..." After opening the conversation, Chen Ao began to talk nonsense: "...The students' character at that time had already moved Yelu Zhengde, and Yelu Zhengde was also flesh and blood, how could they be beasts? So he asked the students to educate him. Your Majesty knew that the student could not even educate himself, but how could he educate him? Fortunately, Saint Kong had a chance. Many proverbs have passed through the world, and students have picked some of them, learning from time to time, and using rituals. It is important to be harmonious. After hearing this, Yelu Zhengde cried loudly, saying that he would die in the morning and die in the evening. Today, when he saw the demeanor of the imperial envoy Chen, Zhengde felt ashamed. Now he realized that we Khitans were no different from beasts. When Zhengde returned to meet the king of Liao, he would definitely talk about the style of Chen Qinzhan's envoy Chen Qinzhan's envoy. We Khitans also want to be human beings, learn poetry, rituals and music, and never be beasts again..."

Zhao Ji was in a good mood. He heard Chen Ao’s random words and couldn’t help laughing. Chen Ao finally said, “Your Majesty, the student educated Yelu Zhengde. The envoy of the Liao Kingdom was so grateful that he gave some small specialties to the students. His Majesty knew the students’ character. Students always regarded money as dirt and were cleansed. They were most afraid of those things that hide dirt and reciprocate. But this is a proof of the friendship of the Khitans after all, and it was Yelu Zhengde’s painstaking efforts. If they rejected it, the students were afraid that the Khitans would be longing for education, so the students accepted these specialties.”

Specialties? Zhao Ji thought for a moment and understood, and thought to himself: "These specialties are afraid they are very valuable." But he didn't say it out loud. It is not necessarily a bad thing for a minister to love money, let alone the money was taken from the Khitans. Who in the world has the ability of Chen Ao? He smiled and said, "Since he gave it to you, you can accept it, I won't blame you."

Chen Ao was secretly happy and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty's love for you is so sincere to the students."

Zhao Ji said with a stern face: "Okay, the autumn exam is approaching, and you should study with peace of mind and not have any more troubles."

Chen Ao nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, the student is going to have a final sprint."

Before leaving, Zhao Ji suddenly shouted at Chen Ao and said to Chen Ao: "Chen Ao, Emperor An Ning's illness has been cured. Go and see if there are any future problems."

Chen Ao took his life and followed Yang Jian to the ***. When he saw Princess Anning, he saw that Princess Anning looked a little bad, and he was not as enthusiastic as before. He reached out and asked Chen Ao to take his pulse. Chen Ao made a few nonsense, which was the end of the task and was about to say goodbye.

Princess An Ning suddenly said, "Young Master Chen, it is said that you have signed up for three marriages in a row, I don't know whether it is true or false."

Chen Ao replied: "The palace garden deep in the Emperor's Palace turns out that the news is so well-informed."

A hint of sadness flashed in Princess An Ning's eyes and she said, "Stop, go quickly, there is nothing to do with you here."
