Chapter 461 Asking for someone to do things requires an attitude of asking for someone
Not only was Tang Boyong feeling worried, Beiyan's envoy Zhao Shanhe was also dumbfounded by the change in situation.
Just as Zhu Youde went to the north, Zhao Wuji died, and then Beiyan was in civil strife.
Now the situation in the north is no longer a civil war. The Yan Kingdom has split into three parties. With the support of civil officials, the prince of Shengjing directly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The second prince also became emperor with the support of his own subordinates.
Although the third prince did not proclaim himself emperor, he would naturally not be uninterested when he saw others proclaim themselves emperor. He also had the support of Han Wugui, but he had the smallest number of troops.
Beiyan, known as the million-armed nation, has now split into three political regimes, and the country is in complete chaos.
If Beiyan is in chaos, the world will be in chaos.
Zhu Youde, on the other hand, did not care about openly expanding his army, and his intention to start a war was almost written on his face, but this shameless man was also full of lies.
Daliang and Beiyan are brotherly countries and will not go to war. They are about to get married to Princess Beiyan.
Zhao Shanhe felt so bad.
Such a huge change was not something he could handle. He had planned to return home immediately because he belonged to the second prince.
But the second prince informed him to stay in Jinling and discuss the possibility of cooperation with Zhu Youde.
The content of the letter was shocking. The second prince of Northern Yan was willing to cede land to Daliang, hoping to get support from Daliang in terms of armaments, especially since they needed artillery.
After Han Wugui sent troops from Shanhaiguan, he marched all the way north. He thought he would fight back to Shengjing, but he didn't expect that Han Wugui turned around midway and attacked the second prince.
The two sides fought several battles, but the second prince barely managed to hold on because Han Wugui did not have many soldiers.
Now that the north has entered the freezing period, Han Wugui's army is not equipped enough to continue the war, and the same goes for the second prince.
Cede Shanhaiguan to Daliang!
Zhao Shanhe had no idea what the second prince was thinking. Shanhaiguan was a strategically important place.
And it's still in Han Wugui's hands.
The current changes in the Liang Kingdom made Zhao Shanhe feel even more terrifying. Liang was like a giant beast that had awakened and was gathering strength. Once it fully woke up, no one in the world could resist it.
Zhao Shanhe turned around and asked his subordinates: "Do you have any reply from Honglu Temple in Daliang? When can we see the Emperor of Liang?"
"No." The subordinate said: "Sir, does the Emperor Liang not want to see us?"
Zhao Shanhe didn't speak. It was like a stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe. This feeling of suffocation made him want to go crazy.
He used to be a general on the battlefield, but after arriving in Daliang, he felt it was hard to breathe.
Isn't Zhu Youde also known as the lecherous and foolish king? Why did the Liang Kingdom become so powerful?
Merchants enrolled in schools, suppressed aristocratic families, and indulged in lust and debauchery.
These things were all done by Zhu Youde. Why didn't the people of Daliang resist?
"Continue to bribe the people of Honglu Temple and give away all our gold at any cost. I don't believe that anyone will dislike gold. We must meet the emperor of Daliang."
"Sir, we don't have much gold left. We only have three thousand taels left. This is our last money."
"How come there are so few?"
"The officials in Daliang took our gifts and did nothing. Cui Li and Lu Jun, we all sent a lot of money, but they are greedy and are worse than animals."
Zhao Shanhe sighed: "Our country has undergone tremendous changes. These Liang people no longer fear our country, but now we are under their roofs."
"Then, sir, should we continue to give gifts?"
"Give it away. If you don't have enough money, go grab it!" Zhao Shanhe said.
After saying that, Zhao Shanhe stood up and left Guanyi. He hoped to understand Zhu Youde's attitude, dispel Daliang's intention to destroy Yan State, and give Beiyan enough time to deal with internal affairs.
As long as Northern Yan is reunited, it will still be the Yan country that can dominate the world.
He went to the Royal University in Jinling and looked for Li Envoy from the Western Regions.
Messenger Li, who was drinking tea in his room, felt uncomfortable.
He is living a comfortable life now. Zhu Youde asked him to come to Royal University to become a doctor, specializing in teaching the customs and mountains and rivers geography of the Western Regions. He received a monthly salary and a formal Jinling household registration.
After class every day, drink tea and go to a brothel. Don’t be too leisurely in your small life. Just write some rubbish every month and send it to the Western Regions to deal with the emperor.
What good things could come out of Zhao Shanhe coming to him at this time?
"Say I'm not here!"
But before he finished speaking, Zhao Shanhe had already walked in with a smile: "Ambassador, your life is really enviable to me!"
Ambassador Li could only stand up with a smile and let the boy go out. He came to receive Zhao Shanhe: "Ambassador Zhao, it's useless for you to look for me. I know you want to see His Majesty, but I can't see him either!"
"How do you know you can't see me if you haven't gone to see me?"
Am I sick?
You Beiyan are in a hurry, but we in the Western Regions are not in a hurry. The Western Regions are thousands of miles away. If Daliang wants to attack Beiyan, we have no time to care about the Western Regions!
He had already suggested to the domestic emperor Li Yuanchu that it was best not to get involved. A war between Daliang and Beiyan would be beneficial to the Western Regions. Even if Daliang wanted to unify the world, the next one after destroying Beiyan would definitely be the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Isn't it easy to fight a war to destroy a country? You have to fight it for decades to destroy a country. When Daliang wants to start a war with Detention, maybe Zhu Youde is dead. The next generation of emperors may not be as terrible as Zhu Youde?
If Beiyan cannot be destroyed, Daliang will enter a long-term war with Beiyan!
So no matter how you look at Daliang's military operations, they have nothing to do with the Western Regions, so the emperor can rest assured that he can make money by raising sheep and wool at home.
As long as the emperor doesn't mess around, he can live a leisurely life in the capital. Besides, even if the Western Regions and Daliang go to war.
He is also determined to stand up as the leader, and he has an official position given by His Majesty.
I am a Daliang person.
Ambassador Li recently changed his name. He originally wanted to call him Li Shun, to show that he was the emperor's dog, but he thought it was too kitsch. He is also a cultural person after all, so he needs to be more decent.
So I added the word "成" after "Li Shun". The meaning is still the original meaning, but it seems to mean that everything will go well.
Some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
Zhao Shanhe didn't say anything, took out a bag and clattered it in front of Li Shuncheng.
Li Shuncheng took out a piece of white jade and put it on the table without even looking at it: "Master Zhao, do you know who the biggest jade merchant in the capital is? Sorry, it's me. You bought me with gold, but even this little gold isn't enough!"
"
Zhao Shanhe was furious: "How dare you provoke me."
Li Shuncheng smiled faintly: "Master Zhao, this is Jinling, not your Shengjing of Beiyan. You are just an envoy from Beiyan. Although I am an envoy, I am still a doctor from Daliang Royal University. I used to be afraid of you, but now I need to be afraid of you.
Well, when you ask for help from someone, you should act like you are asking for help from someone. It’s not good for you to be like this, it can easily damage our friendship!”
