After talking about it, Cao Zhengchun was a little ashamed.
"Okay, it's not your job, what's the matter."
Qin Feng waved his hand without blaming him.
After all, Cao Zhengchun was very busy every day, so it was impossible for him to know everything about it.
But aren't the two countries Guishuang and Anxi at war now?
Even if the fight is over, he should be resting and recuperating. What are you looking for?
"Let them wait first, and wait for my call."
"Yes!"
Qin Feng came to Weiyang Palace, turned his head and gave instructions, and the people below followed orders to leave.
When Qin Feng climbed to the hall, he couldn't help but blush when he saw a large number of memorials on the table.
Recently, he has indeed suffered from a bit of laziness. He only reads a few memorials marked as more urgent every day and doesn't want to read them.
Then,
The memorials piled up, and even Guishuang's envoys didn't know about it when they arrived in Qin Feng.
As for why the arrival of the Guishuang envoy was not marked as urgent?
Please, Guishuang Kingdom has been beaten to the ground by the big man, and it is still a subordinate country of the big man.
Now the national strength is even weaker, and there seems to be nothing important, so there is no need to mark it as urgent.
After all, in Cai Yong's view, this is no different from a courtier meeting the emperor.
Moreover, he is still a low-level minister, at best, he is far away.
Of course!
He would not say that on the surface, but he just told the Guishuang envoys that His Majesty has a lot of affairs and is busy with business affairs. When he finds time, he will naturally meet them.
What can Guishuang envoys do?
When people are under the roof, they can't just do whatever they say.
Fortunately,
It didn't take long before they received an order from the emperor to summon them. Under the leadership of the palace staff, they first came to the side hall to wait.
As for Qin Feng?
Now I am looking for memorials about Guishuang's envoys from the hill-like memorials, and several young eunuchs rushed over to help find them.
With their help, the memorial was soon found out and delivered to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng opened the memorial and flipped through it, but there was no content, it was a well-regulated tribute essay, and the tone was full of flattery and humbleness.
But this is not what Qin Feng wanted to see. After the memorial, there was also Jin Yiwei's report, which was what Qin Feng wanted to see.
The signature of the report is Qinglong. After Baihu was transferred back, Qinglong will be in charge of the work of Jinyiwei in Guishuang Kingdom.
In the report, Qinglong briefly described the current status of Guishuang Kingdom.
It's actually very simple,
Guishuang Kingdom has long been short of troops after the first battle with the big man.
Although they forcibly pulled out an army of [-] to fight the Anxi Kingdom, most of them were obviously not elite troops.
Although the Anxi Kingdom did not have too many twists and turns, it was naturally impossible for the whole country to fight against the Guishuang Kingdom because of the need to guard against the Roman Empire in the west.
Therefore, the intensity of the battle between the two sides has increased by more than one level despite the troubles of Qinglong and Baihu.
Of course, the old, weak, sick and disabled troops of the Guishuang Kingdom lost to the Anxi Kingdom, but the Anxi Kingdom was still unable to completely annihilate the Guishuang Kingdom.
After fighting for a period of time, both sides lost a lot, so they gave up tacitly and entered the stage of licking the wound.
As for why the Guishuang envoys would send people to pay tribute at such a time when they should not pay tribute?
Still related to this war.
Although King Guishuang and the national teacher were under pressure and fought this battle bravely, their hearts were like falling into an ice cave.
If this continues, how can the country stand it!
More importantly,
King Guishuang and the national teacher were a little confused about Qin Feng's attitude towards Guishuang Kingdom.
Although it is said that Guishuang Kingdom has already bowed its head to the Han Dynasty, theoretically it is already a subordinate country of the Han Dynasty.
But the letter of credence has not been submitted, so it is not formal enough from a legal point of view.
Coupled with successive years of wars, the pressure on the country has been enormous.
After all, fighting a war is not simply a matter of gathering a bunch of people.
Logistical support, material supply, etc. involve all aspects of national life,
It is not unheard of for a war to drag down a country.
so,
The current Guishuang Kingdom has gone through the baptism of war, and now it can be said that life is withered, and a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity.
If it recovers naturally, I don't know how much time it will take.
So when the King Guishuang and the national teacher got together, they simply sent an envoy to Luoyang to explore on the pretext of exchanging credentials.
One is the exchange of credentials, formally establishing the status of Guishuang Kingdom as a subsidiary state from a formal point of view.
Secondly, I came to find out about Qin Feng's background.
Let's see what Qin Feng's attitude towards Guishuang Kingdom is.
Let it go, or just treat it as an irrelevant territory, don't ask.
Or... simply merge directly into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
The third is to ask for help by the way.
After all, the domestic economy of Guishuang Kingdom is extremely sluggish now, and people's lives are becoming a problem. External support is urgently needed, and the reason is also very reasonable.
We are all your vassal countries, and now our country is in trouble, it is normal to ask for assistance from the suzerain country!
The fourth, and the most insignificant point, is that Guishuang wants to use the name of the tribute to ask for some benefits by the way.
You must know that since ancient times, in order to show the prestige of the heavenly kingdom and the vast land and resources, it has always been necessary to return the tribute to the vassal state below.
And it's not the kind of return gift that I give back as much as you give, at least ten times the starting point, to show the prestige of the kingdom.
Many vassal states are actually very willing to come to China to pay tribute. After all, who would not want to do such a good thing?
so,
Such a thing as the coming of all nations to the DPRK is really unbearable if it is not a powerful country.
The above is the abacus of Guishuang Kingdom.
As for how many can be achieved, I don't know.
quickly,
Qin Feng announced that he had summoned Guishuang's envoys. Since there were not many outsiders present, this was considered a private meeting.
As for why Qin Feng chose this kind of private meeting instead of a formal interview...
There are a lot of etiquette for a formal interview, and many ministers are required to be present, it is very troublesome, okay?
Of course Qin Feng would not admit that it was because he was lazy.
His reasons are also very good: the official interview can be postponed, and before that we can meet in private to understand the demands clearly, and the subsequent development will be much smoother.
Soon, the envoys of Guishuang Kingdom were brought up.
And Qin Feng was sitting in the center of the hall, with only a few servants waiting beside him.
Chapter 944 Aid Guishuang?This... we need research!
Chapter 944 Help Guishuang?
This... we need research!
Although it was a private meeting, the Guishuang envoy did not dare to neglect in the slightest, and respectfully bowed to Qin Feng three times and nine times.
"Foreign Minister You Qi, kowtow to Your Majesty!"
Qin Feng also accepted his gift with great determination, and only after he finished the ceremony, Qin Feng calmly called him up.
The envoy raised his head, and Qin Feng saw his appearance clearly.
He looked like a young man, a little thin, but he seemed to be in good spirits, and his small eyes made him look like a thief... Ah no, he was very clever.
At this time, You Qi had a very obsequious smile on his face, looking like a villain.
But to be honest, it doesn't look very hateful, but there is an inexplicable sense of joy.
Maybe that's why Guishuang sent him here.
"You Qi, right?"
Qin Feng asked lightly: "You are here on behalf of the Guishuang Kingdom, one is to exchange credentials, the other is to pay tribute, and the third is to ask for help, is that right?"
"Forehead……"
The Guishuang envoy below was a little confused, why did you tell me everything?
Even if you know, shouldn't you follow the process and let me make these demands?
Now what's the matter if you snatched all my lines?
Fortunately, I also prepared a long paragraph and wrote a lot of reasons to recite, just to convince you.
Even when I go to the bathroom, I recite these words in my dreams. Is it easy for me?
Now you stole it all from me!
You Qi was inexplicably sad and angry, but this is Qin Feng, the Son of Heaven.
Even if he was full of complaints, he could only swallow them obediently.
"Yes, it is……"
You Qi, who was a little sad and angry in his heart, answered Qin Feng mechanically.
"Ok?"
Qin Feng was a little surprised, this envoy looked very clever, why is he now dull?
Could it be that my Longwei is too heavy?
Qin Feng rubbed his chin, silently reflecting on himself.
In fact, the reason why Qin Feng didn't follow the procedure was that he had had enough of those red tapes.
Since I already knew it, why should I listen to you again, isn't this a waste of everyone's time?
When I have this time, I will talk to my sister in the harem about my life ideals, imagine the future, and understand each other deeply. Isn't it delicious?
I'm going to waste my time with you here!
"But there are other important things?"
Qin Feng asked again.
"This……"
You Qi has a headache, it seems that you have finished all the important things, do I have to repeat it?
"No, I can't just waste the words I have worked so hard to memorize!"
Thinking of this, You Qi became ruthless, and knelt down to Qin Feng with a "plop".
"Your Majesty, since we became a vassal state of the great Han, our whole country is cheering, and the whole country is jubilant."
"However, His Majesty has not exchanged credentials with us for a long time. Our people are in panic, lest the kingdom of heaven will abandon us!"
In order not to be interrupted by Qin Feng, You Qi decided to stop where he should have stopped, and continued in one breath, so as not to have a chance to say it!
"So we decided on our own, prepared a little gift, and came to exchange credentials and tributes for you. By the way, I beg you to save our country."
