Chapter 337 If you want to fight, then declare war
Zhao Shanhe was convinced. He looked at Li Shu and nodded, but also sighed, because he and Li Shu both knew that it was impossible to implement the same policies as Daliang in his own country!
The nobles of Yan State and Southern Tang Dynasty would never allow merchants to infringe on their own interests!
And Zhu Youde was able to implement this policy in Daliang because he was the emperor. This was a top-down reform!
The aristocratic family must bow their heads for this, otherwise Zhu Youde will really go on a killing spree.
But with Wang Po defeating the Western Region Allied Forces in the northwest and shocking the world, the family did not have the courage to rebel at this time.
Zhao Shanhe smiled bitterly: "Every day I see the happy faces of the people in Jinling, I feel worried. Who knows what I'm thinking, but I didn't expect that he is from the Southern Tang Dynasty!"
Li Xu cried bitterly: "I was really born at the wrong time. Why am I not from Liang Dynasty? When the prosperous age is coming, I can only be the opponent of Emperor Liang. God and its injustice, with my talents, I can also be the prime minister..."
Li Xu stood up as he spoke and walked outside, "The river is long, but who knows my heart? The Holy Lord is in court, but my heart is sad..."
This is frustration, this is pain, this is the loneliness that makes me sober when everyone in the world is drunk, because Li Shu saw something that others did not see, and knew that the great terror was coming!
Zhao Shanhe stood up quickly. Li Xu had already arrived at the door, with only a shadow left. He shouted: "Li Xu!"
"Ambassador?" The shadow at the door stopped.
Zhao Shanhe said: "I agree to what you said. I will do my best for the Yan people and the country!"
Li Xu nodded and said nothing.
Zhao Shanhe asked again: "What is your name?"
"A certain surname is Xiao!"
Li Chen disappeared. Zhao Shanhe thought for a moment and nodded, it turned out to be him!
The next day, Zhu Youde was having dinner with Luo Xian and others in the harem, when Wang Zhonghou came to report!
"Your Majesty, Zhao Shanhe, the envoy of the State of Yan, please see me!"
"Isn't Honglu Temple responsible for the envoy's affairs? He, a foreign envoy, is meeting me? It's not in compliance with the procedures. If there is anything, Honglu Temple should report it!"
Wang Zhonghou whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the envoy of the State of Yan. I need to give him some face!"
Zhu Youde sighed, looking at Luo Xian and others, this emperor is really boring!
I can’t even eat in peace!
Zhu Youde had no choice but to go see Zhao Shanhe.
In the south study room, Zhao Shanhe bowed his hands and said that he had met Zhu Youde, "Foreign envoy Zhao Shanhe has met His Majesty the Emperor of Liang!"
"You're welcome, Qing Zhao. Liang Yan is a country of brothers. If you have anything to do, just tell Honglu Temple!"
Zhao Shanhe said: "Honglu Temple cannot be the master of this matter, we have to talk to His Majesty!"
"oh?"
Why can't we pass through Honglu Temple? Zhu Youde looked at Zhao Shanhe curiously: "But the matter of Suici, I have handed it over to Lu Jun, he will talk to you!"
"The matter of the annual payment is a trivial matter. As long as your majesty agrees to the foreign minister's affairs today, it doesn't matter if the annual payment is not made in the future!"
Zhu Youde underestimated it in his heart. It seems that your matter is not a big deal, and you don't even need the annual gift.
Does your emperor want to recognize me as his father?
Or is Yan State going to merge with Daliang!
Zhu Youde immediately decided that he could not agree, no matter what Zhao Shanhe said, he could not agree anyway!
"The annual gift is still needed. After all, the two countries have a credential agreement. Liang Guo is not a treacherous country. Previously, you wanted to increase the annual gift. I can agree to it now. I agree. The original three million a year can be changed to five million this year!
"Zhu Youde said: "This is also my Daliang's sincerity to the Yan State!"
Zhao Shanhe shook his head: "Your Majesty, the annual tribute is a trivial matter. Our Emperor has a daughter who gathers the essence of heaven and earth and is beautiful in spring. Now that the princess has grown up, she has been elected as her husband. I am here to act as a matchmaker for your Majesty!"
Grass mud horse!
Is it good for me to have a queen? What do you mean?
Zhu Youde immediately realized that something was going to happen!
Emperor Yan's daughter must not be a concubine, she must be a queen. She actually wants me to depose her!
They say that interfering in other people's internal affairs is directly interfering in one's own bed.
"I accept Zhao Qing's kindness. Unfortunately, I am too old to do so. But don't worry, when the Princess of Yan gets married, the Liang royal family will still have the same etiquette. I would like to congratulate Princess Yan on her coming of age.
Please bring my gift with you when you go back!" Zhu Youde was angry, but he still endured it.
You must make your own decisions about your own bed.
Zhao Shanhe smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you may not have heard clearly. Our emperor hopes to marry the two countries. Princess Zhao Mingyue has also admired your majesty for a long time. Your majesty is a dragon and a phoenix among people. It doesn't hurt to have one more princess. If your majesty agrees,
From now on, the Liang Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom are the kingdoms of the father-in-law, and the Yan Kingdom will no longer station troops on the border. How about the two countries open their borders and the people on the border can come and go as they please!"
The cost is so high!
Zhu Youde was also frightened. There are no troops stationed at the border. Is this a comprehensive partnership?
This is the relationship between my Big Rabbit and Old Maozi!
He was a little excited. In this way, Daliang would not have to station troops at the border. He didn't know how much military expenses could be saved.
These military expenditures will be used for domestic construction, and Zhu Youde is confident that he will build several wonders of architecture!
Zhao Shanhe said again: "Your Majesty, if you agree, I can let the Tang State also choose to send princesses to the palace. The beauties from the South and the beauties from the North will all be in the Daliang royal family. It is a good talk in the world, and Your Majesty can also enjoy the blessings of the Qi people!"
And the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty!
Zhu Youde couldn't stand it anymore. Princess, the real thing, not the kind in KTV!
Zhao Shanhe's words hit Zhu Youde's weakness. You really understand my little hobby.
"I wonder what other conditions there are?"
"The princess of our country is noble and should be the queen. The princess of Tang Dynasty can be the concubine. What do you think, Your Majesty!"
"But I already have a queen!"
"Abolish it!"
Zhao Shanhe was also a little nervous. He couldn't change his words after he said it. He didn't know if Zhu Youde would agree.
Zhu Youde smiled slightly: "The queen has not lost her virtue. She is the mother of the world and the lord of the earth. Even though I am the emperor, I can't abandon things at will. That's all. Although the princess of the Yan Kingdom and the princess of the Tang Kingdom are good, I am afraid that I am destined to have no destiny.
, what a pity!”
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Shanhe's voice was full of anger: "Your Majesty, if you reject me like this, aren't you afraid that my army will march south to the Mumahuai River?"
Threaten me!
If you can't tell me, I'll threaten you. Damn it, you bitch. You think you are the envoy of those strong men from Fu Zijie!
Zhu Youde sneered and said: "Zhao Qing, do you know why Wang Po didn't enter Jinling in Yixian Gorge? You can guess why I arranged it like this."
Zhao Shanhe frowned slightly. It is not a secret that Wang Po and his new army are stationed in Xianxia Gorge now!
Zhao Shanhe didn't pay attention at first, thinking that this was the family that Zhu Youde used to deal with Daliang. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was not that simple.
The combat strength of Wang Po's new army is even more of a mystery. He felt that Zhu Youde in front of him was also shrouded in a layer of fog!
But he boldly thought that if you go north through the Xianxian Gorge, you can enter Hebei, and then enter Xuzhou!
Zhao Shanhe thought of the Battle of Xuzhou between Daliang and Yan State decades ago!
He suddenly understood that Zhu Youde wanted to bring national humiliation with blood.
"Does Your Majesty want Xuzhou to turn into a river of blood and turn into scorched earth?" Zhao Shanhe looked at Zhu Youde in shock!
"The shame of the country, I can't sleep when I think about it. In the Battle of Xuzhou, our country, Liang, lost. For this reason, we have had to pay annual tribute for decades. The government said it was a yearly gift, but it was just a gilt in the face!"
Zhu Youde's eyes were calm and he looked at Zhao Shanhe calmly: "The Yan Kingdom wants to fight, so let's fight. I will not allow others to put their hands on my bed until I die. If the Yan Kingdom dares to force me again, I will declare war!"
