Wei Zheng said: "Emperor Xia, at this time and at that time, the situation in the past has its own situation in the past. What's more, I firmly believe that Emperor Xia is a reasonable and wise monarch and will not detain us. If Emperor Xia really wants to detain us, then Wei Zheng It can only be admitted. After all, as an envoy, being detained on a mission is not without precedent."
As the deputy envoy, Kong Yingda never spoke from the beginning to the end, because he was only the deputy envoy. Kong Yingda was eloquent, but it was definitely impossible for him to overstep Wei Zheng's authority. When Wei Zheng was inconvenient to deal with it, he could open his mouth to rescue Wei Zheng.
Du Qi shook his head and chuckled.
Wei Zheng was as eloquent as ever.
Unfortunately, Wei Zheng is also old.
Du Qi suddenly said: "Wei Xiang, we are also old acquaintances. Speaking of which, Wei Xiang can also be regarded as my relatives. It is better for Wei Xiang to give up his official position in Datang and come to Xia Guo. What official position Wei Xiang holds in Datang, in I also hold any official position in the Xia Kingdom. Even Wei Xiang's title, I promoted you one level. Today's Xia Kingdom is thriving, rising like the sun. On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty is in decline, and it is difficult to maintain the grand occasion. Great Xia, is The general trend of the world."
Wei Zheng said: "Wei Zheng accepted Emperor Xia's kindness. Unfortunately, Wei Zheng is used to the ups and downs of Chang'an, and everything in Chang'an, and he is not used to leaving Chang'an."
After a pause, Wei Zheng went straight to the point, and said: "Emperor Xia, I am here on behalf of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This time, we are here to seek peace. I hope that the Tang Dynasty and the State of Xia will stop fighting and stop fighting."
Du Qi said: "Wei Xiang, you and I are also old friends. The relationship between us, from the past hostility, to the marriage relationship in the end, can be regarded as relatives. So here, I will not go around in circles with you. .Wei Xiang, if it is Datang, he has gained an absolute advantage in fighting Xia, are you willing to give up the war?"
Wei Zheng smiled slightly, and said: "Emperor Xia, that's not what he said. The war between Xia Guo and Datang was indeed Xia Guo's victory, and Datang was in a disadvantaged position. But in fact, Datang is not without The power of a battle. Even if Xia Guo's weapons have a great advantage, but my Tang Dynasty is still enough for a battle."
After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "The Great Tang has been a country for many years, with a profound heritage. Especially the great Tang's resources, natural treasures, outstanding people, and outstanding people. It is not impossible to fight against the Xia Kingdom. The war between the Xia Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty lasted for a long time. The country is also unfavorable. After all, the Xia country is not monolithic, and there are many troubles."
Du Qi said: "Wei Xiang, what you said is a bit unreasonable. Although Xia Guo is a newly established country, Xia Guo is united as one. Although Xia Guo has Brahmins, Kshatriyas, etc. There used to be risks, but in fact, the hearts of the people are on the side of our country, and the aristocratic class of Brahmins and Kshatriyas who used to be in India are resisted and cast aside by countless people."
"So, nobility is not enough to make things happen."
"If they jump out, they will be asking for their own death. For my country, Xia, I am not afraid of such risks. But now, the interior of Xia is booming, everything is flourishing, and it is developing in a good direction."
"As for the war with the Tang Dynasty, a large amount of food and equipment will be consumed. The territory of the Xia Kingdom is sparsely populated. Now that there is a large scale of farming, there is no shortage of food. Moreover, the economy of the Xia Kingdom is very good and has not been affected by the war."
"On the other hand, although I have consumed a lot of food in previous battles, they ultimately brought more benefits to the Xia Kingdom. On the contrary, they promoted the development of the Xia Kingdom. Therefore, wars are becoming more and more important to our Xia Kingdom. Well, it doesn¡¯t mean that the war will continue, but it will drag down Xia Guo.¡±
His words were eloquent and eloquent.
Wei Zheng also frowned.
Wei Zheng has seen how powerful Du Qi is. He is no ordinary person. In the past, Du Qi spoke eloquently about Chang'an, humiliating the Yin family, and causing the entire East Palace Prince's Mansion to be in a dilemma. Even in the court, no one dared to provoke Du Qi.
Kong Yingda smiled slightly and said, "Emperor Xia, you are actually wrong."
Du Qidao: "Kong Jijiu is a great scholar and a leader of Qingliu. Although there are not many contacts between Kong Jijiu and I, I have heard about Kong Jijiu for a long time. Kong Jijiu is the empress of Confucius. People are the queens of the sages. Kong Jijiu, as long as you are willing to come to my country of Xia, I, Du Qi, will sweep the bed and wait."
He did it on purpose.
This is to stimulate Kong Yingda, of course he knows that such a surrender is definitely impossible, but it is not impossible to stimulate Kong Yingda and show his attitude of being a virtuous corporal.
Kong Yingda said: "Kong is very grateful for the great love of the Emperor Xia, but a loyal minister does not have two masters. Kong works for the Great Tang and eats the salary of the Great Tang.? A matter of loyalty. Therefore, please invite Xiahuang Haihan. "
Du Qi said: "What a pity, what a pity!"
Kong Yingda said sternly: "There is no pity, Xia Huang's subordinates are also full of talents. Kong has heard that Xia Guo has recruited countless children from aristocratic families to Xia Guo, and these people are all holding important positions in Xia Guo. The rise has laid the cornerstone. In Xia Kingdom, there are so many talents, there is no shortage of people like Kong."
After a pause, Kong Yingda continued: "Emperor Xia, let's get down to business. You said that Xia Guo is not afraid of a war, and even the more Xia Guo goes to war, the more he can win and promote the development of Xia Guo. In fact, this is a paradox. Xia Huang In Tianzhu, it was indeed like this, like a snowball, constantly sweeping all over the place."
"But now, the Kingdom of Xia has been established, and the war between you and the Tang Dynasty will be protracted and will consume countless grains. Even if the foundation of the Kingdom of Xia is behind, it will consume countless grains, equipment, and lose countless soldiers. It's a big burden. Emperor Xia, the ruler of this world, can't fight without spending money."
"The compensation alone is not a small amount. Although Kong did not participate in the battle of Changbaipo, Kong has heard a little about the results of the Changbaipo battle. I have lost countless losses in the Tang Dynasty. I have lost a lot. Having said that, Xia Guo lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, although Emperor Xia does not lack such soldiers, he can recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers at will."
Kong Yingda said: "How many pensions will be needed to complete the loss of hundreds of thousands of people? Just this sum of pensions and rewards is innumerable and a huge burden. Even if the Xia Kingdom is rich in finances, It also has a huge impact.¡±
Du Qi narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Kong Yingda is quite sharp.
I saw the problem at a glance.
Du Qi smiled slightly, and said: "Kong Jijiu, the pensions and rewards you mentioned do exist. But for my Xia Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom's court can afford this burden. After all, my Xia Kingdom, There are countless pillar industries, and the domestic finances are extremely abundant, so there is no shortage of such money and materials.¡±
"In addition, you may not know that the war between Xia Kingdom and Persia Kingdom has now captured the city of Braun on the border of Persia, and beheaded the lord of Braun City, Kasde. Kasde is the prince of Persia. , served as the city lord of Bolang City, and Waldo, the Persian envoy who was sent to the Tang Dynasty, was only a Kasde counselor, and he was also captured by our Xia Kingdom."
Du Qidao: "The money and food in Bolang City are innumerable, and all of them have been escorted back to Xia Kingdom to be charged into the treasury."
During his time in Braun City, Cusd really worked hard, so he had a lot of money and food. In Lai Ji's letters, it was mentioned that now they are being transported back gradually to be filled into the national treasury.
Kong Yingda frowned when he heard Du Qi's words.
It is not easy to seek peace!
? According to the result of the discussion between Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda on the way here, it is best not to lose the state of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can stop fighting with Xia Guozhi, but now it seems that it is impossible for Datang not to pay a little price.
