Chapter 89 Renting Xinzheng, Han Fei VS Li Si!

On the second day, a court meeting was held in the main hall of the Han Palace.

Han Wang Angao sat on the throne, and the ministers of civil and military affairs lined up on the left and right sides below, standing neatly, and the atmosphere was a bit serious.

"Xuan Qin's envoys go to the palace!"

After finishing the words, I saw a handsome young man walking step by step from outside the hall, and came to the center of the hall without haste. It was Li Si.

He was dressed in black formal attire, holding a messenger's scepter symbolizing his identity, and looked serious.

"Meet King Han."

Li Si greeted him neither humble nor overbearing.

"The envoy of Qin is free of courtesy. This trip is tiring and hard work."

Han An said very politely, although the other party was just an envoy, he still had to greet him with a smile, and the gap between Qin and Han was too great.

Li Si went on to say: "Serve the country, and dare not say bitterness. The foreign ministers are here only to resolve the conflict between Qin and Han. I believe King Han is not willing to see the two countries discord, right?"

"That's natural. I have always respected Qin State very much, and hope that the two countries can live in harmony."

Han An replied.

Li Si smiled slightly: "The foreign minister also believes in your sincerity. It's just that what South Korea did a few days ago made Daqin feel a little confused. I wonder if you can ask King Han to express it?"

Hearing this, Han An couldn't help but thump in his heart. He also knew that the other party was not kind, so he raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, envoy Qin."

Li Si nodded and said, "In recent years, your country seems to have gotten quite close to Zhao, and even signed a covenant. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Hearing this, Han An couldn't help but froze slightly. In recent years, Qin State has continuously sent troops to the border, so in order to protect itself, it had to move closer to Zhao State.

Unexpectedly, now the other party took it as a pretext to attack, and it was difficult to answer for a while.

At this time, Han Fei, who was standing on one side, said, "Han and Zhao are neighboring countries. It is normal to have some trade with each other. I'm afraid it's unreasonable to blame South Korea for this matter?"

Hearing this, Li Si turned his head to look, his eyes flickered slightly and said: "There is nothing wrong with the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but now that Qin and Zhao are in the same situation, helping Zhao is harming the interests of Qin.

Which side South Korea wants to stand on, I ask the king to think carefully. "

As the voice fell, Han An's face became a bit dignified. The other party's words were quite domineering, but there was no way this was the confidence of a big country. Although he was very upset, he could only talk to each other.

"South Korea is sincere about Qin, and will never oppose Qin. I also ask the envoy of Qin to tell King Qin and Prime Minister Lu not to have any doubts."

Li Si heard the words: "If you want the king and Xiangguo to believe in your sincerity, then you must show some sincerity."

Han An's complexion changed slightly, knowing that the other party was going to blackmail him again, he had to say helplessly: "I am willing to give you ten thousand gold as a token of my heart."

Hearing this, Li Si smiled slightly. He came here this time with two missions, one of which was to beat South Korea.Now that the King of Han has softened, his goal has been achieved.

But I managed to win such an opportunity, so how can I rush through it? I must make it more beautiful so that Lu Buwei can see his own ability.

Thinking of this, he went on to say: "My Great Qin is not short of such a small amount of money. As a show of sincerity, Qin can take the initiative to donate [-] gold to Han to show the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

Hearing that, instead of being happy, Han An's heart sank. The Qin State has always been strong, and now it is taking the initiative to offer benefits, there must be a bigger conspiracy.

Sure enough, at this moment Li Si continued: "Da Qin has expressed his position, I wonder if King Han should also give something back?"

Han An nodded and said, "As the saying goes, reciprocity should be reciprocated, but Qin has a vast land and resources, and I don't know how to show my heart."

Li Si smiled and said: "When I first came to Korea, I heard that the king had leased Yangdi to others at a price of [-] gold a while ago. In this case, I, Daqin, would like to rent another city at double the price for one year." limit."

Han An frowned slightly. He obviously didn't expect the other party to mention this matter, and he couldn't deny it, so he could only reply: "There is such a thing, but I don't know which city Qin envoy wants to rent?"

Li Si's eyes flashed, and he raised his head and said, "It's this Xinzheng!"

As soon as this remark came out, both Han An and the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and then they stood up and said, "Xinzheng is the capital of South Korea, how can we rent it?
In this way, where will my king be placed! "

Li Si looked at the other party, and said in a leisurely manner: "There are still dozens of cities in South Korea, so it's okay to move the capital to other places. Anyway, it's not the first time your country has done this kind of thing."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, even Han An clenched his fists, and his heart surged with anger.

The reason why he agreed to rent out Yang Zhai at the beginning was not only because he wanted to supplement the military salary as soon as possible, but also because Ye Yan was weak.When the ten-year period arrives, he can easily take it back.

But Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. If Xinzheng is leased, there will be no return, it is no different from giving it away.

The most important thing is that Xinzheng is the capital of South Korea. If it is really given to the other party, the face of the royal family will definitely disappear.

However, if you refuse rashly, it will cause dissatisfaction on the other side, which is really a dilemma...

At this moment, Han Fei slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "What the envoy Qin said is quite reasonable, I definitely agree with it."

"Old Nine, you..."

Han An was startled, he didn't expect his son to be messed up at this critical moment.

Li Si's eyes moved and said: "So, the Ninth Young Master also thinks that my proposal is appropriate?"

"Of course it fits, and the price is fair!"

Han Fei replied with a smile, but then changed the topic and said: "But everything must be reciprocal, in order to express the sincerity of South Korea.

In addition, we are willing to rent Xianyang at three times the price for the same period of one year. How about it? "

Hearing this, Li Si's complexion changed instantly. His senior brother was really not easy to get along with, and under such circumstances, he was counter-pressed.

Xianyang must absolutely not make any mistakes, otherwise his official career will come to an end.

However, he was the first to put forward this suggestion, and it is not easy to veto it. Now the problem has been thrown back to his side. It is indeed a bit tricky, and it can be described as a dilemma.

And Han An is also uncomfortable. If this matter is not handled properly, it may lead to serious consequences, so there must be a strategy that balances both ends.

Just as the two of them were thinking about how to solve this matter, a palace official came hurriedly from outside and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ye Yan is here, and he is outside the palace at this time."

Hearing this, Han An's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, invite Mr. Ye to the hall!"
