Invincible son

Chapter 712 711 [Vulgar martial artist]

"Pei Hou, please stay."

Xu Ziping frowned, although he was extremely unwilling, he could only stand up and persuade this person to stay.

He was born in the Xu family of Qinghe, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has a deeper foundation than the Han family in Luling. He has few opponents in terms of eloquence and eloquence, so he can compete with the officials of the Ministry of Rites of Daliang without reason. up and down.

He is not afraid of and even likes negotiating opponents like Sheng Duanming, because this kind of scholar always pays attention to some demeanor, in other words, he has to show some face.

Pei Yue's martial arts relatives are the most difficult to deal with, because he can be unreasonable, and the emperor of Beiliang ordered him to be the negotiator, so there is no need to repeat the meaning.Xu Ziping knew in his heart that if he couldn't keep this young dignitary today, he would have failed half of the mission of this trip, and there was no way to talk about the second half.

Pei Yue stopped and turned to look at Xu Ziping indifferently.

"Please take your seat, Marquis Pei. I am willing to make some compensation on behalf of the imperial court." Xu Ziping said sincerely.

Pei Yue frowned, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Compensation? Mr. Xu still doesn't seem to understand the situation. This matter is completely whimsical. Fang Yunhu wanted to murder Gu Fan and Ben Hou, and then affect the southern frontier army in Daliang. You and I both know that Gu Fan's father, Gu Liang, the Marquis of Guangping, was in command of the Southern Army's battalions in Chengjing. Fang Yunhu wanted to kill Gu Fan and Ben Hou, in order to cause chaos in Hou Guangping's area, and to hurt the hearts of the Southern Army. damage."

Xu Ziping was slightly taken aback, and forced a smile: "Pei Hou's words are a little strange, I don't understand."

Pei Yue asked back: "I really don't understand?"

Xu Ziping knew that if he didn't understand the answer, the other party would definitely turn his back on the spot, but if he answered clearly, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?Rao was unparalleled in eloquence and quick-witted, but at this moment he was forced into a corner by a simple rhetorical question from this young dignitary.

Pei Yue looked into Xu Ziping's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, you should know in your heart that the reason why we can sit here and negotiate is because the emperor of Daliang is not willing to use swords so that the lives of the people will be ruined. In terms of military appearance and military equipment, we There are 30 troops standing on the southern border. Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, Fang Yunhu put the two countries into a dangerous situation of war in order to show off."

He walked slowly back to his seat and sat down, with an imposing manner as majestic as a mountain, and said word by word: "Is it a fight? Is it a talk?"

The officials of Daliang Ritual Department, including Sheng Duanming, were surprised with a bit of joy on their faces at the moment, and the attendants around Xu Ziping on the opposite side were all overwhelmed by the words Pei Yue, and fear gradually appeared in their eyes.

Xu Ziping met Pei Yue's stern gaze, hesitated for a long time and said: "What Pei Hou said is not unreasonable. Fang Yunhu made a mistake for a while and caused very serious losses to your country. In order to make up for this mistake, I am willing to compensate Bai Yin 730 million taels."

This is the first time that Xu Ziping has given conditions since four days of negotiations.

Pei Yue looked at him expressionlessly, raised his hand and said, "Master Xu, please sit down."

Xu Ziping felt relieved, he thought that the other party would just give up, but just as his butt touched the chair, he heard Pei Yue continue to say: "Does Master Xu know that this Marquis is capable of making money?"

Xu Ziping didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't want to fall into the other party's verbal trap easily, so he could only reply cautiously: "I've heard it a little bit."

Pei Yue turned to look at Sheng Duanming and said, "Master Sheng just said that Fang Yunhu killed 73 of our soldiers in Daliang territory."

Sheng Duanming nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, you can check it with every pen."

Pei Yue sneered and said, "73 people, 730 million silver, 10 taels per person, ha ha."

Xu Ziping knew something was wrong, and immediately said: "Pei Hou Mingjian, I don't have any intention of belittling, apart from Bai Yin, I can also personally apologize to the relatives of the victims in person."

Pei Yue ignored his words at all, and said coldly: "There are 63 members in your mission. I will make up the whole for you, and it will be 700 million taels of silver. This money does not need to be paid by the court. The Marquis paid it himself. Afterwards, I will treat you to a full meal, and then I will drag you outside the city and chop it up, how about it?"

Killing intent suddenly surged on his face, and he said angrily, "Apologize in person? Can I apologize on your grave after I kill you?"

Xu Ziping could still hold on, but the accompanying officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were all horrified, because they had more or less heard the young dignitary's murderous name.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites in Daliang did not dare to make any sound, and they shared the same hatred with Pei Yue and glared at the people opposite.

This is really because Xu Ziping's conditions are too outrageous. Although 730 million taels of silver is a lot, what is it to the face of a dynasty?If Pei Yue agrees to this condition, doesn't that mean that as long as Western Wu or Southern Zhou are willing to spend money, the people of Daliang can let them kill?
Xu Ziping actually knew that such an approach was inappropriate, but it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The emperor forbade him to hand over Fang Yunhu, and it was even more impossible to allow him to cede the three cities of Jiangling, so what else could he do besides money?
Pei Yue looked at the opposite side coldly, and realized that the heat was enough, so he said in a slow tone: "Master Xu, don't mention the silver talk again. If you want long-term peace between Liang and Zhou, you have to show some sincerity."

Xu Ziping only felt cold sweat on his back, and tried his best to calmly ask: "May I ask what is the sincerity of what Pei Hou said?"

Pei Yue said indifferently: "It's very simple. The three cities of Jiangling belong to Daliang, and your country's Chengbei camp is moved southward for fifty miles."

Xu Ziping thought it was true, he shook his head resolutely and said: "Pei Hou, this is absolutely impossible, and the three cities of Jiangling belong to our dynasty. If your country talks sincerely, you should return these three cities first."

Pei Yue snorted softly and said, "Then I will give in one more step. The Chengbei camp can not be moved, but the ownership of the three cities of Jiangling must be clear. Mr. Xu, those three cities are left over from the war between the two countries in the past ten years. In the past, it has long been within Daliang's territory. Now that your country wants to restore the relationship between the two countries, and there are treacherous villains like Fang Yunhu who have committed many crimes, it is better for both sides to take a step back."

Xu Ziping was sad in his heart, if it wasn't for the fact that the atmosphere in the middle school was not right, so that the national power and military equipment were gradually slack, why would he be in such a difficult situation?

Negotiations and negotiations, after all, you must have enough confidence to talk.

The reason why Pei Yue is so strong, apart from his own ability, is the more important thing is not the strength of Beiliang?

However, in any case, he could not agree to this condition.

Time passed quietly, and the room was silent. Compared with the violence just now, Pei Yue seemed extremely patient at the moment.In fact, he is not doing decorations these days. The reason why these great Confucians are allowed to perform their speech skills is just to observe the bottom line of the other party.

Emperor Kaiping didn't expect him, a warrior who hadn't read many books, to win a piece of land at the negotiating table, but just let him grind the temperament of the Southern Zhou mission.

When the atmosphere was almost suffocating the officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Pei Yue said slowly: "This is not okay, and that is not okay. It seems that Mr. Xu's trip to the north is just perfunctory."

Xu Ziping smelled the smell of flipping the table, and had to lower his posture and said: "Pei Hou, please forgive me for not being able to agree to this condition. Xu would rather die here than dare to send me an inch of land."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "The two countries are at war and the envoys are still not beheaded. Although I don't read much, I have heard these operas. What I said just now was just a moment of anger. Please rest assured, Mr. Xu, your country's envoys will also Please rest assured, this Marquis will guarantee that you will be unscathed in Daliang Capital."

Xu Ziping smiled wryly, "Thank you, Marquis Pei."

Pei Yue said: "This is the Marquis's business, so there is no need to thank you. Master Xu, considering that you also have difficulties, I will not make things difficult for you, but if you want to settle this matter, don't bring me a few million taels of silver. Perfunctory. This Marquis gives you two choices, you can carefully consider them."

Xu Ziping could only answer: "Please tell me, Marquis Pei."

Pei Yue stretched out two fingers, and said slowly: "First, from next year, the Zhou Dynasty will pay 50 taels of silver to Daliang every year for a period of 73 years. At the same time, a brotherly alliance will be established. Liang will be the brother dynasty, and Zhou will be the younger brother dynasty. "

Xu Ziping remained silent, obviously he would not agree to this humiliating condition.

Pei Yue put down his index finger, and only held up a lonely middle finger, and continued: "Second, please stay away from the five peaks of the Tiancang River to the Goddess Ferry. From the date of the conclusion of the covenant, your navy shall not Enter this section of waters. But if you take a step, it will be regarded as a declaration of war on Daliang, and there will be no peace between the two countries."

Xu Ziping was startled.

At this moment, he even suspected that the other party had mind-reading skills, and he was able to break through the bottom line given by His Majesty the emperor before the trip.

Because this matter is extremely secret, only His Majesty and himself know about it, not even Fang Xiexiao.

Xu Ziping sighed in his heart, is this young dignitary really just a vulgar martial artist?
