First Section 346
First Section 346
"Your Majesty, in April, the grasslands will be warm and spring blossoms. At that time, the Turkic troops will pose a greater threat to our soldiers. Sending troops at this time is no different from the best opportunity."
"General Xu, what you said is indeed reasonable, but do you know how many people are needed to transport food and grass in the cold weather? How much consumption? This is not something to talk about. It takes 10,000+ people to supply the soldiers with sufficient food and grass. .”
"The general is only concerned with arranging troops, marching and fighting. Food and grass are the affairs of your household department and military department."
"Fool."
"Sour Confucianism."
Right Prime Minister Tong Sansi stood up: "Your Majesty, it is indeed not the best time to go on an expedition. Please think twice, Your Majesty, the country is the most important thing."
Li Zheng tapped the dragon case lightly with his finger: "Since you can't reach an agreement, I have a way. You should listen to it first."
Prince Li Baiyu's face brightened, he knew that the business war was coming.
All the civil and military officials listened with bated breath, and Li Zheng gently repeated what Young Master Liu had said that day, watching the reactions of the lower officials from time to time.
When Li Zheng finished speaking softly, the expressions of all the officials were different.
"Your Majesty, opening up business is to compete with the people for profit, no."
"I said that it is to encourage private business. Officials and merchants only trade war horses and livestock with Turks and the Kingdom of Jin. If any of you can get me Xiong Jian's war horses for me, I won't be able to do business."
A group of officials looked at it with big eyes and small eyes. They knew better than anyone about the emperor's desire for war horses, and they made it very clear that I only trade war horses and livestock in business, and do not compete with the people for profit.
"Your Majesty, the matter of opening a commercial road is of great importance. It is definitely not something we can decide alone. If there is no contract signed by Jin Guo and Turkic, it will be impossible to establish a border market."
"My minister seconded the proposal. Now that the Turks have been defeated, they have not yet sent envoys to deliver the letter of surrender. If the Dalong merchants wantonly leave the customs for trade, once the Turks turn back, it will be a disaster for them. Just return some of their property. Who will take responsibility for the loss of life?"
"That's right, Mr. Jiang is right. Opening up business can indeed increase the income of the common people, but this matter involves a lot. Although the Kingdom of Jin did not participate in the battle in the northern border, Chen Bing is still waiting outside Jeju." However, whether Jin Guo agrees to jointly build a mutual market is still a matter of debate.”
"Then send envoys to the north to persuade the Turks and the Kingdom of Jin to agree to trade with each other."
"Who should His Majesty send to the two countries?"
"Where is the official minister of Honglu Temple?"
"Honglu Temple Minister Wang He is attending Your Majesty."
"Wang Aiqing, Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign affairs, and you will prepare for the mission."
Wang Hezheng, the Minister of Honghe Temple, looked embarrassed. Honghe Temple is indeed in charge of diplomatic affairs, but this diplomacy is definitely not a good job.
Not to mention the fact that the two countries have not stopped fighting and made peace, who knows how bad the mission will be, Jin Guo is better off talking about it, and has learned a lot of rules from the Central Plains. The place is hard to say.
The reason why the Turks are called barbarians is because the Turks are barbaric and disrespectful, and they only rely on their own selfishness to act against the rules. In addition, the war between the two countries has just ended. Now the Turks will not say whether they have any credit or not. what to say.
Although the two countries are not going to fight each other, Wang Hezheng has deep doubts about the credibility of the Turkic people.
"Your Majesty, envoys from Annan, Goguryeo, and the Western Regions will pay pilgrimage soon, and Honglu Temple will be responsible for the reception. There is really no manpower to send envoys to the Kingdom of Jin and the Turks."
Wang Hezheng could only find a non-excuse excuse to shirk this matter.
Li Zheng frowned, knowing that what Wang Hezheng said was true, Goguryeo and Annan were going to worship the dragon, and Honglu Temple did have a lot of burdens.
Li Zheng couldn't help looking at Young Master Liu, who was sitting at the end of all civil and military officials, nodding his head and saying nothing.
"My loves, do you have any recommendations for those who are envoys to the Kingdom of Jin?"
The civil and military officials all looked at each other, none of the officials who could sit here was not a human being, not a cunning and cunning person, and they naturally understood what the Minister of Honglu Temple could understand.
There is no problem with going to the Kingdom of Jin, it is indeed a good job, but this trip to Turkic is indeed a matter of narrow escape.
In case the Turkic people became angry because of the war in northern Xinjiang, and their heads fell to the ground with a scimitar in their hands, it would be too late to cry.
"Why, isn't one of you loves willing to take on this burden?"
"Your Majesty, Zhao Fengshou, a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, recommended a person."
Because of the affairs of the scholars of the Kingdom of Jin, Zhao Fengshou, a member of the Ministry of Officials, was also promoted to a higher level, and became a doctor in the Ministry of Officials.
Qi Run raised his brows, secretly thinking that it was not good, glanced at Zhao Fengshou who was in the same row, and secretly thought that he didn't want his son-in-law to go on an envoy, did he?
Chapter 4 Eleven
Li Zhengrao looked at Zhao Fengshou with interest: "Who does Zhao Aiqing recommend as a messenger?"
Zhao Fengshou looked at Eldest Young Master Liu who was lowering his head and smiled lightly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I recommend the new foreigner Liu Mingzhi Liu, a member of the Juehu Department of Tongyuan County."
Li Zheng narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that Zhao Fengshou's thoughts coincided with his own. He just had the idea of sending Young Master Liu as an envoy. In Li Zheng's view, Young Master Liu is a well-rounded figure with a lot of ghost ideas. The most important thing is that this guy is not a person who follows the rules, and he is more tactful than these ministers who stick to the rules.
"Report to Your Majesty, Qi Run, the minister of the household department, thinks this matter is inappropriate."
It was the 'first time' that Li Zheng saw Qi Run. After all, Qi Run only participated in the first court meeting after he was promoted.
"Oh? What does Qi Aiqing think is wrong?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Liu has only been an official for less than a month. He has acted ill-consideredly and needs to be adjusted. Coupled with his youthful vigor, he is afraid that things will backfire. He is definitely not the best candidate for an envoy."
"One of you said that Liu Aiqing is suitable for a mission, and the other said that Liu Aiqing is not suitable for a mission. I am very embarrassed."
"Your Majesty, the minister's recommendation of Lord Liu is definitely not a hot-headed thing. Your Majesty does not know. Although Lord Liu has not been an official for a long time, when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, Lord Liu single-handedly thwarted the conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom's mission to fight unannounced. Liu Your Excellency’s mission to the Kingdom of Jin will make the ministers of the Kingdom of Jin feel pressured, and secondly, Lord Liu and the prince of the Turkic Huyan Tribe, Huyanyu, have had a drinking relationship, and with this relationship, they can protect themselves and their families in Turkic.”
"The minister waits for a second opinion."
"The minister also agrees."
"Master Zhao's words are correct, and Master Liu is definitely the best candidate for the mission."
"You bastard, talk!"
Qi Run's face was a little anxious, and he sent a message to First Young Master Liu who was bowing his head not far away.
Those officials held the idea that it had nothing to do with themselves, and agreed to Zhao Fengshou's suggestion with the idea that as long as it was not their own mission to Turkic, anyone who went to Turkic as an envoy would second the proposal.
But Qi Run can't do it, this is his son-in-law, Qi Run is not worried about Jin Guo's affairs, he is worried that the Turkic people will not obey the rules, if that happens, his daughter will be widowed.
Doesn't his grandson even know what his father looks like, even if the chance is only half, Qi Run can't watch his son-in-law take risks.
Song Yu, who was in the second row, also looked a little worried. He looked at Du Chenghao, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Zhao Fengshou, a member of the Ministry of Officials, recommended Young Master Liu as the envoy. Could it be that he was instructed by Du Chenghao?
You must know that Young Master Liu was lying on the side of the official department at the beginning, and it exploded..... He served some areas of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the two servants. It cannot be ruled out that Du Chenghao ordered Zhao Fengshou to send Young Master Liu to die. possible.
"Bastard, you should say something!"
Qi Run's face became anxious.
But First Young Master Liu still lowered his head and remained motionless, there was a slight vesicle under his nose that grew bigger and smaller sometimes with Young Young Master Liu's breathing.
