It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 106 I have never seen such a brazen person

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Puliuru Department seek to see you!"

Early in the morning, Liu Ke had just finished opening the lock.

Even if the destiny is in the body, more practice is needed to accumulate experience and become more proficient in techniques.

To him, destiny is just a tool. How to skillfully use these tools to achieve one's own goals is the embodiment of his ability.

"The envoy of the General Liuru Department? That world-renowned celebrity Yu Rang?"

Liu Ke frowned slightly, and paused for a while:
"Yu Rang has been in Qiongzhou City for a while, and he hasn't made any representations. It should be because he doesn't have enough bargaining chips."

"Hua Chengyu is in charge of monitoring, but he hasn't seen any big moves, so he is waiting for news, a news that makes the chips in his hand more valuable and richer."

Liu Ke hastily summoned Xiao Yuanchang, He Kun, and Chen Fujia to have a small discussion with his confidantes before the court meeting.

Jia Wuji was usually in prison, Yue Shaoqian was still fighting in Gaozhou, and Wei Jishu was the only one left who was smart and trustworthy.

But just after Wei Jishu was recommended to the court, he participated in this kind of private meeting of the emperor, which was too high.

Reaching the sky in one step is not only easy to set up enemies, but also not conducive to their growth, so Liu Ke didn't specifically call for them.

"The envoys of Puliuru Department asked to see me today, what do you think?"

"Thinking about it, I should have waited for the bargaining chip and gained confidence, but since the other party asks to see him, His Majesty will definitely want to see him."

Xiao Yuan often thought about it for a while, and already had some ideas in his mind:

"The imperial court must now obtain support from the outside world. The food reserves in Qiongzhou are no longer enough to keep going like this."

Liu Ke nodded slightly, Xiao Yuanchang was right.

Because of copying several aristocratic families, he made a lot of money by kidnapping the important officials of the aristocratic families, and also robbed the pirates who had occupied the South China Sea for many years, as well as Yizhou, which was not affected by the war.

The imperial court is not short of gold and silver, but there is a shortage of food.

He has been on the throne for half a year, and it can be said that he has been fighting for more than half a year.

The army is dispatched, people eat horses and chew, and there is food in and out of the account.

Qiongzhou has a population of 11 households, counting seven people in one household, or 70 people.

Now there are 3 naval divisions and 5 imperial troops, and counting the soldiers of the counties and counties, the number is really quite a lot.

Even if it can be bought, it is impossible to buy a large amount of grain from the Donghu rule.

Either trade south by sea, or find another way.

If it weren't for Qiongzhou being a big grain-producing state, the Eastern Hunan Army still had a lot of food and grass hoarded in Zhenpu County, and before they could take it away, the Han army would have run out of food.

He Kun glanced at Liu Ke first, and seeing the emperor nodded in approval of Xiao Yuanchang's words, he said:

"Your Majesty can ask for a large amount of food and grass from the General Liuru Department during the negotiation."

"Puliuru Department is located in the east of the Yangtze River. It is convenient to transport food and grass, and it will not be intercepted by pirates when going to the South China Sea."

"As for the other tribes of Donghu, even if they are dissatisfied and unwilling to join the enemy, they are beyond their reach and can't do anything."

Liu Ke said:
"It's just that King Khan of the Puliuru tribe is quite capable, and Yu Rang is also somewhat talented. He must also know that the big man is short of food and fodder."

"It's easy to meet them, and it's not too difficult to ask them to agree to send food and even yearly tribute during the negotiation, but it's not a long-term matter after all."

"It is urgent to follow the right."

Xiao Yuanchang gestured with his palms for a while, calculated the income, and said:
"The South China Sea has almost become the inner sea of ​​my great man. There will be no problem in taking the sea route. After the autumn harvest, we can overcome this year's predicament."

"Yue Shaobao has already taken down Kanghai County. Even if the food and grass supplied by the General Liuru Department is only enough to get through this year, it will be enough if he breaks the contract and repents next year."

"When the spring of next year is plentiful, and Yue Shaobao leads the army, and cooperates with General Gan to land with a navy, it will not be difficult to take Gaozhou."

"The land of the two prefectures, together with the proceeds from Yi prefecture and sea trade, can not only supply the needs of the army, but also train the new army."

Liu Ke didn't rush to respond this time, but tapped Chen Fujia with his chin:
"How does Chen Qing view this matter?"

Chen Fujia kept frowning. He didn't care much about food and grass. This is not what he is good at, but in terms of strategy, he thinks more long-term:
"What Mr. Xiao said is true. Food and grass are what the court lacks the most."

"It's just that the General Liuru Department will not let us succeed so easily. Yu Rang must have enough bargaining chips in his hands and confidence in his heart before he makes a negotiation."

Liu Ke then nodded and said: "Then Chen Qing thinks, where does this bargaining chip come from?"

"The west."

Chen Fujia pointed to the west, still frowning:
"Your Majesty's fire is enough to make the Donghu people dare not take the initiative to attack within three years. The nearby Puliuru tribe has internal and external troubles, and they will not easily mobilize troops."

"In this way, Donghu Great Khan will definitely consider other countries. This is a plan to drive away tigers and wolfs."

"The Jiaozhi Kingdom in the west is separated from Qiongzhou by only one sea, even closer to Qiongzhou than Yizhou, and has not been affected by war."

"If the Jiaozhi Kingdom is under the oppression of Donghu, it will be really difficult to attack across the sea, or send troops to assist Donghu."

Liu Ke asked: "According to the opinions of the ministers, if the Jiaozhi Kingdom is interested, how should I deal with it?"

Xiao Yuanchang cupped his hands and said:

"Jiaozhi Kingdom is originally my Han state. Your Majesty can send an eloquent envoy to make friends and lobby, and make great profits. When Gaozhou is pacified next year and food and fodder are plentiful, we can make a decision."

Chen Fujia said proudly: "I am willing to be an envoy!"

He became addicted to missions, and under the propaganda of the Chen family in Yingchuan, the deeds of his mission to Yizhou have spread all over the world.

Although he has not become a so-called celebrity in the world like Yu Rang, but when ordinary people see him, they have to salute him and call him Mr. Chen.

Going to Cochin again, even if you have to suffer humiliation and scrape your thighs with a stone slice, you will gain fame, pain and happiness!

But He Kun didn't express his opinion in a hurry, and he didn't dare to move around without knowing what the emperor was thinking.

Judging from the emperor's strong attack on Yizhou, Bangguo can also be fought.

He knew what his foundation was, and if he was not careful and went against the emperor's ideas, he would be doomed.

After listening to a few people's advice, Liu Ke already had some thoughts in his mind, and said:
"I have all the ministers to share my worries, and I have a bottom line in my heart, so let's meet the envoys of the Puliuru Department first!"

"If Na Yu Rang dares to make some unreasonable demands, then don't blame me for being rude."

what?
Xiao Yuanchang and Chen Fujia were both slightly startled, they all thought of the blood splashed on the court several times before.

Chen Fujia took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the two countries are fighting each other, and if you don't kill the envoy, let alone Yu Rang is a celebrity in the world, so don't move lightly!"

Xiao Yuanchang also persuaded: "Your Majesty, the General Liuru Department can provide food and grass for the imperial court, please wait for the food and grass to arrive before finding another reason to attack."

But Liu Ke just waved his hand: "I know what's in my heart, I'm ready to go to court."

Only He Kun bared his teeth, sure enough.

Chen Fujia and Xiao Yuanchang know how to make plans, but they don't understand His Majesty's temper!

It would be fine if Yu Rang restrained himself.

If he really dared to speak out loudly in the court, or if he was a bully, he would make some requests to offend the big man.

Indulgence means that envoys from other countries cannot be killed, celebrities in the world cannot be humiliated, and there must be a few parts missing from their bodies.
-
Yu Rang stepped into the hall full of energy.

A few days ago, he was indeed a little worried. Many scenes showed that the momentum of the big man had become.

Not only the common people, but even some aristocratic families are interested in the big man and diversify their investments.

But after receiving the secret letter last night, he gained confidence.

Donghu has internal and external troubles, and the big man has won some hearts, can it be smooth sailing?

Moreover, his mission here is not only to redeem Puru Rama, but also to break off one of the big man's sail poles.

It is necessary to cause greater trouble to the big man and strive for sufficient benefits for the General Liuru Department.

Only in this way can he be more important when he returns to Puliuru Department, and maybe he can marry King Khan's daughter, and he will be promoted to a higher level from then on.

Even if the big man has risen and there is a sign of revival, he is not worried at all.

How long will it take for the big man to regain Gaozhou, and how long will it take to conquer Jiangdong?

How difficult it is to conquer the world with one state!
Yu Rang walked into the hall and saw that there was a big screen erected on the hall, and beside the screen stood the golden rooster announcing the dawn and the jade carving.

It looks extremely luxurious, but it is extremely inconsistent with the furnishings in the palace.

It must be a congratulatory gift from the aristocratic family a few days ago.

Yu Rang thought to himself, the emperor was indeed born among the people and had never seen the market.

Some small gifts were placed in the hall, and they couldn't wait to show them to others, and the nouveau riche heart.

He was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show anything in his behavior, and he didn't have the airs of Donghu envoy at all.

"My servant Yu Rang, see Your Majesty!"

Yu Rang honestly met the emperor with the highest etiquette of seeing the emperor.

Combined with his status as a celebrity and his natural demeanor, he is really full of posture.

Even the etiquette at hand is more in place than some court ministers.

This made Liu Ke a little surprised, and so were the officials, who were greatly impressed.

He really deserves to be a celebrity, even if he is from Donghu, and he is an envoy for Donghu, it is mostly because he is in his position to seek his own government and want to protect the people.

Really a talented and loyal minister!

"Get up, Yu Rang's name, I have heard it in the early years, and the old grand master was also very impressed when he was alive. Seeing you today, the reputation is well-deserved."

Liu Ke waved his hand, signaling Yu Rang to get up.

Yu Rang got up and stood firm, arched his hands upwards, and said:
"This minister has a little reputation, which should not be praised by His Majesty."

Dian Wenwu even sighed, neither humble nor overbearing, not seeking fame and fortune, is indeed the demeanor of a celebrity.

Liu Ke crossed his legs carelessly and said:
"Since you are an envoy for Donghu, then I don't have to talk around the corner."

"Let's be straightforward, Puliulu Rama is in my hands, what conditions can Puliuru make?"

And his straight-forward, undisguised attitude made Yu Rang even more disdainful.

Earlier, I heard that the current Han Emperor grew up among the people, and seeing him today, it is indeed the case. The sage king is nothing but a wild wind.

At best, it's informal, at worst, it's vulgar words and deeds.

This is not an ordinary court meeting, but a negotiation between the two countries.

Even Donghu people know how to be polite.

However, Emperor Han didn't seem to care much about it. I'm afraid it was because of successive victories and arrogance in his heart. This is a failure!

Even so, Yu Rang didn't show his deepest thoughts on his face, but still respectfully said:
"Your Majesty, the servants have traveled thousands of miles, which is enough to show the sincerity of the Puliuru Department. Even though our King Khan is an enemy of your Majesty, he still admires him very much."

Liu Ke said with a smile:

"That's natural. This Puliulu Rama is my adopted son, and the Puliulu Rama Khan is naturally my brother. Isn't it normal for a stupid younger brother to admire a talented elder brother?"

Ok?
Yu Rang was stunned.

Has His Highness become the adoptive son of Emperor Han?
A 30-year-old Prince of Puliuru, who recognizes the 20-year-old Emperor Han as his father?
Where is the son prince?

Why didn't he know about this?
If this is the case, the value of Praliu Rama does not seem to be that great, and the benefits that can be given out in the hand have to be revalued.

And Liu Ke interrupted Yu Rang's thinking impatiently, and continued:

"Don't talk about nonsense, I don't like it, just get to the point."

Yu Rang gave another respectful salute:
"Your Majesty knows that His Majesty is busy, so let's just say it."

"My King Khan is aware of the court's difficulties. Although His Majesty is brave and victorious in successive battles, according to the observations of his subordinates, the food supply is already in a hurry."

"Please forgive my liege. If Your Majesty cannot raise food and grass, but continues to conquer, I am afraid that I will suffer a big defeat."

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the flickering lights seemed to freeze for a moment.

"What nonsense!"

"Beautiful man!"

"I have never seen such a brazen person!"
