She Song

Chapter 136: Magnanimous style and magnanimity

The sun is shining brightly, and the negotiations between Han Ji and the court are about to begin.

The brilliant effect of last night's party made Han Ji's negotiator in high spirits.

The imperial army was completely wiped out and the commander was captured. The imperial court lost decisively and was forced to send a mission to negotiate peace due to the situation.

Of course, the conditions for peace talks proposed by the president were extremely harsh, knowing that most of them would not be met by the court, just to leave room for negotiations. At the same time, it was also to buy time to digest the prisoners of the Forbidden Army and build up the cavalry.

Therefore, Han Xiaoyao instructed: use soft and hard tactics, talk without breaking.

However, it was Shen Sanniang's first time to formally participate in negotiations, so she couldn't help but look anxious.

As the opening ceremony was about to begin, she took the time to secretly ask the old master for advice: "Teacher, I still don't know much about negotiation. What should I do then?"

Sima Hengru was a descendant of a family of military masters. Whether on the battlefield or at the negotiation table, everything was as light as a breeze to him.

Looking at the smartest disciple in the school, Han Ji, the youngest minister-level executive, still humbly asked for advice, he was immediately comforted.

"First of all, Han Ji has the world in mind and cares about the common people. Therefore, we must be magnanimous, that is, polite and courteous, and try to be kind, so that we can show the style and magnanimity of the victor."

Wow, what the teacher said makes sense!

"Thank you teacher for teaching!"

Shen Sanniang, who was like a treasure, hurriedly repeated in her heart, constantly trying to figure out the key points of negotiation that the old master said.

Well, children can be taught~

Sima Hengru straightened his clothes and entered the negotiation room at the same time as the imperial negotiation team.

The two parties sat down and exchanged greetings, a harmonious atmosphere.

Shen Sanniang nodded repeatedly in her heart and admired the old master's foresight even more.

Zhu Fei, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, was over [-] years old and participated in many heavyweight negotiations in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, he was selected as the main negotiator and was the second person in the entire delegation.

Zhu Fei smiled slightly, took out a piece of paper from the file, put it on the table and pushed it to Han Ji to talk about Sima Hengru.

"Mr. Sima, the imperial court sympathizes with your hard work and has specially prepared this list. It is enough to prove our sincerity. We also hope that the war will be turned into friendship and the peace and prosperity of the world will be restored!"

This list appears to be a response to Han Kee's request.

Shen Sanniang took the paper sign and handed it to the teacher. Unexpectedly, Sima Hengru just glanced at it, slapped the paper sign on the table, and immediately blew his beard and stared.

"If outsiders read this list and think that our entire army has been destroyed, is this what Zhu Shaoqing calls 'the sincerity of the court'? How ridiculous!"

Shen Sanniang was stunned.

What about being generous and polite?
Sima Hengru pushed the paper sign back to the opposite side, and then said proudly: "If we cannot meet the conditions that we are satisfied with, it is better to give up this negotiation and send troops to fight again!"

Shen Sanniang's eyes widened.

What about the style and magnanimity you talked about?
Zhu Fei was used to negotiation battles, so naturally he would not be intimidated by the other party.

He picked up the paper sign again, looked through it carefully with a gentle expression, then put it down, and then said with a smile: "I wonder which item in the list did not satisfy Mr. Sima?"

"The first one is totally different, so why talk about the others?"

Zhu Fei had a photographic memory and immediately repeated the first item.

"Now there is Han Xiaoyao, the son of the Han family. He has been favored by the imperial court to manage the wilderness, educate the people, be charitable, and be charitable. All of these are beneficial to the country and the people. Therefore, in order to reward his contribution, Han Xiaoyao is given the title of Founding Man."

After Zhu Fei finished memorizing, he asked with a smile: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the title of nobility has always been precious. It is rare in ancient times for someone to be awarded the title of baron from the eighth rank! Mr. Sima, how can you say that the imperial court has such an extraordinary favor?" Without sincerity?"

Sima Hengru dismissed it and said loudly: "Our requirements are very clear, we must be crowned king! Just a baron, huh~ Han Ji is not interested!"

Zhu Fei put on a serious face and immediately retorted: "Mr. Sima, you must be knowledgeable and know that our dynasty has never had a precedent of a king with a different surname. This is absolutely impossible!" Sima Hengru took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "Precedent? How dare you? I asked all dynasties, is there any precedent for a victorious eunuch who was defeated and crowned king?"

Shen Sanniang: Let me go. Is this a slap in the face?
No matter how good-tempered Zhu Fei was, he couldn't withstand the other party's sarcastic remarks about the officials. He suddenly turned red in the face and started to protest.

"You...you are going too far! How can we continue talking about this?"

Sima Hengru smiled slightly and said: "Okay, okay, we can't talk anymore. Let's square up and fight again. We can talk after we win or lose. How about that?" "

Zhu Fei was ordered to negotiate, one of which was to avoid another fight, but Han Ji was aggressive and overbearing to the extreme...

Suddenly, Qin Huizhi, the representative of Taixue, intervened and suggested: "Zhu Shaoqing's complexion is not good and he needs to recuperate. We propose to adjourn the meeting temporarily."

Sima Hengru graciously agreed, and even more concernedly told the reception staff to take good care of the imperial envoys and respond to their requests.

As a result, the two parties concluded the first negotiation and will discuss it again tomorrow.

On the way back, Shen Sanniang asked doubtfully: "Teacher, didn't you say that you should be magnanimous in negotiations and show style and magnanimity?"

Sima Hengru smiled calmly.

"The soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield. If we don't be stronger, how can we deserve this hard-won victory? Besides, how can they, the defeated army, have the confidence to bargain?"

Shen Sanniang asked again: "But, I saw that they were almost vomiting blood. It wouldn't be bad if they were really angry, right?"

"Oh, about this, you don't have to worry about them. I'm sure they will eat, drink and sleep happily...the so-called negotiation is just a matter of taking advantage of others in an elegant way."

Ah!
Shen Sanniang's outlook suddenly became clear.

……

The two-day condolence performance for soldiers and civilians ended successfully and won unanimous praise from Han Ji and the entire army.

Compared with the imperial court's forced conquest of beauties, Han Ji gave hundreds of beauties generous rewards, and Han Xiaoyao personally sent them to the south of the pontoon.

When the motorcade started, Master Li held up the car curtain and looked back at the gentle and passionate handsome man for a long time, feeling quite reluctant to say goodbye to his close friend.

……

Meiji returned to Beijing, but the negotiations continued. For three consecutive days, the two sides exchanged words, clause by clause, word by word, and spent countless energy and words before finally reaching a consensus.

There is no objection from both parties to the restoration of Hanji's original business.

Shang Mao De Di Ji, yes.

But in terms of specific details, the court believed that Maode must be a head wife, and Han Ji paid a million-guan betrothal gift from the inner treasury.

Han Ji believes that Shen Erniang is the first wife and her status cannot be shaken. Maode can be an equal wife and a gift of millions is acceptable, but the dowry should also be equal.

After all, Zhu Fei was getting old. After persisting for three days, Qin Huizhi, who was quick-thinking and well-spoken, took over the negotiation.

Sure enough, because they had a helping hand to Sima Hengru and were also half of Shen Sanniang's teachers, the Han Ji delegation moderately slowed down the intensity of the negotiations.

On the fourth day, Qin Huizhi, who had learned the information, suddenly proposed that all captured personnel of the imperial imperial army should be returned and should not be detained without reason.

The equal negotiator is none other than his half-disciple Shen Sanniang.

"Qin Xuezheng, we declare that we have not detained any officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard without reason!"

Facing half the master, Shen Sanniang refuted the opponent without hesitation.

"Ha!" Qin Huizhi looked around and chuckled: "Then I would like to ask Minister Shen. The total number of Imperial Guards and soldiers is more than 7000. According to your report, there are more than [-] dead. Could it be that there are nearly [-] Could it be that people just disappeared without a trace?"

Shen Erniang is the Minister of Civil Affairs and Shen Sanniang is the Minister of Finance. Both of them are conscientious and friendly.Therefore, they were distinguished by the nicknames "Big and Little Minister Shen" by Han Jiguan.
