Chapter 474 Peacemaker
While Wang Xu and Qiu Chuji were talking, a noise suddenly sounded outside the door.
Soon, an official pushed open the door and walked quickly to Wang Xun and said, "Sir Shangshu, the envoys of Xia State have been making noises at the yamen, clamoring to see you."
After receiving the secret order from his mother country, Liang Dehan, the envoy of Xia State, has been paying attention to the movements of the Mongolian envoy and the Ministry of Rites of Ming State. However, he is not as good-nature as Qiu Chuji, and can always sit on the bench in the Ministry of Rites, without any abnormality.
However, he also left a slut, just to prevent Qiu Chuji from meeting with officials from the Ministry of Rites.
So as soon as he got the news, he rushed over in a hurry.
But the road conditions in the capital are really hard to get faster. It’s not that the road surface is very bad, but on the contrary, the road surface in the capital is wide and wide, which is a rare good road in the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world. However, there are many horses and carriages in the city. And the security army has always been restricted to rushing around, overtaking for no reason, grabbing roads and other matters that are prone to disputes such as "overtaking" for no reason, grabbing the road, etc.
So Liang Dehan's car could not get fast.
Such traffic congestion has become increasingly serious with the continuous influx of the population in Shangjing. Even though Shangjing now has certain restrictions on the settlement of the population, it cannot stop many wealthy families.
Especially recently, the land prices around Shangjing City have ushered in a round of soaring growth. Liang Dehan is also the driving force behind it.
Because after the change of Xia State, many people in the court had been married and had friends, and they asked someone to send him a letter, hoping to buy an industry in Ming State.
Many Xia people's business banks, or those related to it, are also rushing to buy land, almost sweeping away the idle houses and fields on the market in Beijing.
The prosperity of Shangjing has also ushered in another leap in the skyrocketing land prices.
Fortunately, these impacts are more beneficial than disadvantages for ordinary people in the short term. Because Shangjing City has long been conducting house rental and loan trading policies for ordinary people, most Shangjing people have a place to live.
A small number of people who do not have one are also around the capital. They are not the people in the capital and cannot enjoy the policy benefits of the people in the city. However, there are many jobs in the capital. They are all included in some large workshops, so they will not sleep on the streets.
Moreover, they may not be of no benefit to the expansion of the city's area in the future.
Now all the fields in the suburbs of Beijing have increased. Although they are not as big as those in the capital, they are actually rising. If people encounter difficulties at the moment, they can still use their own fields to turn around.
You may lose the qualification to live near the capital, but under the arrangement of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can still have a new beginning after going to new places where immigrants can be resettled.
But this is a minority.
Now that Wang Xu heard the official's report, he was about to speak, but Liang Dehan had already found him.
When he saw Qiu Chuji, he pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are a master. You look like a foreigner, but you dare to do dirty things. Since you are already a foreigner, you should devote yourself to practicing Taoism. Why do you need to get involved in trouble in the world?"
"Enter Liang, this is really too rude!" Wang Xu looked at Qiu Chuji's embarrassing face and said to Liang Dehan with a stern face: "Master Qiu is a master of Taoism. Even if we don't believe in it, we cannot insult it at will. Moreover, this is the Ministry of Rites. Are you despising the power of our Ming Kingdom like this?
"A tiny man dares to bark here too! Humph!" Qiu Chuji glanced at Liang Dehan, then turned his face away and said nothing. Qiu Chuji has always been respected as a fairy-god, and he rarely meets anyone who dares to be rude to him.
This incident happened today for the first time.
"I would like to forgive my ministers. I was in a hurry, so I had to do so." Liang Dehan first gave a tribute to Wang Zhen and explained: "Since the second year of Yingtian, Man Meng sent troops to invade the border of our Xia Kingdom. The people were killed and injured, and several cities were slaughtered and looted. Because they were unable to compete, they had no choice but to sign a humiliating alliance. Then Man Meng forced our country to launch a border quarrel and fought with the Jin Kingdom since then. The national strength has been weakened.
Now that the wise ruler, King Qi, ascended to the great treasure, felt that the people's livelihood was difficult and the national strength was greatly declining, he was kind to his neighbors and was willing to reconcile the old friendship with the Jin Kingdom. However, Man Meng did things against him and still wanted our country not to stop the war. Moreover, since Man Meng entered Xia, the people of his country have done countless evil in our Xia Kingdom. This time, the new master wanted to correct the chaos, and all the righteous people responded. Many people from Man Meng suffered this retribution.
However, God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, and our country also values etiquette the most. Although many envoys of Man Meng do unrighteous things, our country is unwilling to take his life. However, he did not expect that an unknown soldier was revenge because his family was poisoned by Man Meng. Unbearable to take care of him, he suddenly took action and took the life of Botu.
The new master only wants the people to live a peaceful life and does not want to start the war again. But the man was determined to destroy our Xia Kingdom and not only killed our envoys, but also intended to send troops to invade the south. He did not know the righteousness and shame of the country, but he was driven by the masters of the world. Isn’t that a big deal of glory?!”
As he said that, he spitted on Qiu Chuji.
Although the Mongolian Khanate's actions have always been violent, the other side's troops are strong, so those who surrender to the past have automatically ignored this. Even if they often massacre the city at any time, these people can still justify themselves.
But according to Liang Dehan's words, the mistakes were all the Mongolian Khan Court.
From the perspective of Wang Xun, the third country, the Khan Ting and the Xia Kingdom were both right or wrong, and there was no right or wrong in the face of national interests.
The Khan Court had strong troops and invaded Xia Kingdom in the south. Although morality was a disadvantage, strength was the hard truth. If the Xia Kingdom did not want to be beaten passively and change such a situation, then he could only seek help from foreign players or self-cultivate his internal skills.
Unfortunately, the former king of Xia State was scared by the Khan Court. He neither dared to fight with all his strength nor had foreign aid to seek. So he ignored his unhealthy national strength and continued to war with the Jin State. In this way, the only one who would benefit from the Khan Court was the fisherman.
Now after several years of Western Expedition, the Khanate has built up a vast territory and a massive population, and its wealth has been transformed into national strength, which has been stronger several times.
Under such circumstances, it is unwise for Xia Guo to dare to break up with the Khan Court.
It was just because the origin of this war and the reason for the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yu still wanted to fight. So he pretended to be a peacemaker in it, leaving both of them back in vain.
This drag-on technique lasted for several days. On this day, Wang Xun privately asked Liang Dehan to meet in a teahouse controlled by a secret guard.
