The next evening, Shaofang and his party arrived in Wancheng and stayed in Wancheng for one night. The next morning, Shaofang entered Yancheng.
Fengguo and Mozambique are allies. Fengguo welcomed Shaofang's arrival. The welcoming ceremony was very grand, and Tang Yin also went out of the city to welcome Shaofang.
After the meeting, Shao Fang's first words were congratulations to Tang Yin. Tang Yin was stunned by his congratulations. Shao Fang said with a smile: "when I was still in Mo country, I heard that Feng country defeated Du Jijun in Tiya, and good news came frequently. According to the calculation of time, Feng country should have won Tiya now?"
He smiled as he spoke, but his tone was sour. Tang Yin certainly understood Shaofang's jealousy and jealousy. He smiled and said, "Brother Shao misunderstood that our army is going to assist Tiya, not invade and annex. Even if we win dujijun, Tiya is still Tiya, and the wind country is still the wind country."
Shao Fang smelled yanle, showed an expression I knew, patted Tang Yin on the arm and said, "does brother Tang still use these false polite words with me?"
Tang Yin stopped explaining. He understood that it was useless to say more. He turned sideways, waved his hand and said, "Brother Shao, please come to the city!"
"Please!"
Tang Yin and Shao Fang both sat in the prepared carriage and slowly entered Yancheng under the protection of a large number of Feng troops and guards of the state of mo.
After entering the city, Shao Fang couldn't help sighing. It hasn't been a year since he came to Yancheng last time, but now Yancheng is much more prosperous than when he came last time, and many tall buildings have been built in the city. Looking at the roadside, there are many shops, rows and pieces, so it's not lively.
At the foot of the emperor, the rapid development is amazing! I'm afraid that if Shao fang had been in Yancheng Town, he would regret it now?! There is no medicine to regret. Even if Shao Fang saw the benefits of accepting the emperor at this time, it was too late.
On the way, Shao Fang asked, "brother Tang, shall we go to see the emperor first or to your Palace first?" According to the rules, when the prince enters the capital, no matter for what reason, he must first visit the emperor, which is also a respect for the emperor. Although Yancheng is not in Beijing, the emperor is here after all.
Tang Yin was happy and asked, "does Brother Shao think it is necessary to see the emperor?"
Shao Fang smiled up and didn't ask much. Through Tang Yin's understated rhetorical question, he can feel the position of the emperor in Tang Yin's mind, but no wonder how it is possible to depend on others and not be controlled by others? Thinking of this, Shao Fang is secretly angry. The ministers under him are short-sighted and lack foresight. What is acceptance of the emperor is equal to pressing a mountain on his head. Look at Tang Yin now. He continues to sit on the throne of the king of wind, while firmly holding the emperor and giving himself the absolute right to speak.
Alas! Shao Fang sighed darkly. The country of Mo is full of talents and capable ministers. Why did he lose to the country of Feng in accepting or not accepting the son of heaven?
When he arrived at Tang Yin's palace, Shao Fang looked up and said in surprise, "brother Tang still lives here?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "the wind country has been fighting for years. The country has long been weak and the people are poor. Where can we have spare money to build the palace?" He didn't pretend to be poor, but now the wind country is really not rich. It's not that the strategy of supporting the war with war is inappropriate, but that there are too many towns rebuilt in the wind country, which greatly consumes the wind country's treasury.
Shao Fang blinked, and suddenly turned the conversation and said, "it's actually good here. If you live comfortably, there's no need to build a palace."
Tang Yin looked at him strangely. He didn't know what he was up to. His words changed so fast.
He took the lead in getting off the carriage. When Shao Fang came down, they walked into the palace side by side.
Shao Fang first went to visit his sister Shaoxuan. During this time, Shaoxuan has been living in Tang Yin's palace. There are few opportunities to meet Tang Yin, but there are specially assigned personnel to wait carefully. I haven't seen Shao Xuan for such a long time. Shao Xuan has changed a lot, at least much better than before. Seeing that her sister is very comfortable here in Tang Yin, Shaofang is also secretly relieved.
After saying goodbye to Shao Xuan, Tang Yin and Shao Fang come to the study and take their seats. In addition, Qiu Zhen, the right and left Prime Minister of the state of Feng, Yuan Ji, the Shangguan, and Lian Ge, the senior general of the state of Mo and Zhang Rong, the Taifu, were present.
After simple politeness, the two sides gradually came to the point.
First, Tang Yin opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Shao came all the way. Isn't he going to visit the wind country?"
Shao Fang looked positive and said, "I'm here to discuss something with brother Wang of Tang!"
Sure enough, Tang Yin said with a smile, "Brother Shao, please tell me something."
Shao Fang pondered for a moment and said, "I hope brother Wang of Tang can join hands with me to send troops to the jade country."
Tang Yin doubted whether he had heard wrong. Shaofang came not for Chang sun Yuanhong, but for fighting the jade country, which was too unexpected. He turned his eyes to Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. They obviously didn't expect Shao Fang to make such a request, which seemed somewhat stunned. Tang Yin asked with a smile, "Brother Shao is going to fight the jade country?"
"That's not true." Shaofang thief smiled and said, "does the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty know who the monarch of the jade state is?"
This is an idiot's problem. Tang Yin asked, "isn't it lingshuang?"
Shao Fang nodded and asked, "has brother Wang of Tang ever seen lingshuang?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath and said patiently, "it's not."
Shao Fang smiled, but only * smiled. He said, "I've seen the face of lingshuang, the monarch of the jade state. It can be said that it is beautiful and beautiful. It looks like a fairy! I've loved all kinds of women, but I haven't touched the monarch of a country, so I want to propose marriage to the jade state."
Tang Yin looked at Shaofang inexplicably. Tang Yin knows that Shao Fang likes women. Shao Fang hasn't covered up this all the time. If lingshuang is as beautiful as he said, Shao Fang's heart is normal, but what does it have to do with sending troops to Yuguo?
Seeing his doubt, Shao Fang sighed gently and said, "I want to marry lingshuang, but it's a pity that people may not be willing to marry me. If Mo Feng and the two countries join hands to send troops, they don't need to enter the jade country, they just need to hoard troops at the border. At that time, if I propose marriage again, lingshuang won't accept it."
Oh! Tang Yin almost sneered. The two countries sent troops together and made such a big noise just to marry him and satisfy his selfish desires. It's too childish. Tang Yin felt that he was crazy enough, but he was still far from Shaofang.
He shook his head and said, "Brother Shao, you can also see the current situation of our country. The army is fighting in Tiya, and cities and towns are being built in all counties and counties. The Treasury is cleaner than his face. Now it is too difficult for us to send troops."
The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass are moving forward. Even if there is no war, the long journey of the army is a great consumption, and it also needs a huge amount of money and food to support it.
Shao Fang was not surprised by Tang Yin's refusal. He said with a smile: "please rest assured, brother Tang, I won't let brother Feng Jun work in vain." After a pause, he continued: "the money and food for brother Fengjun's expedition will be guaranteed by our country mo. if it is successful, I will give it to brother Tang from the eight counties in Ningnan!"
Yo! Shao Fang was so generous for a woman that he even offered a county in exchange. It's incredible. Just send troops to frighten the jade country and you can get a county. It's a great bargain! Tang Yin raised her eyebrows and looked straight at Shaofang.
It can be said that Tang Yin has never believed in the good thing of pie falling from the sky in his life. Shao Fang is willing to pay such a high price. What idea is he making in his heart? Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji. The former frowned and hung his head silent, while the latter winked at him, scratching his head and face, fidgeting.
When was Shangguan Yuanji such an old man so impetuous? Tang Yin saw this and immediately understood that he had something to say. Now Shao Fang is present. He can't ask directly and ponder a little. Tang Yin smiled at Shaofang: "sending troops is a big event. Moving one will lead the whole. I have to think about it more carefully!"
Shao Fang's smile disappeared and asked suspiciously, "is brother Tang dissatisfied with my conditions? One county is not enough, but those two counties are always enough? Now Chang sun Yuanhong occupies two of the eight counties in Ningnan. As long as brother Tang can fight down, I can give you both counties!"
The more generous he was, the more suspicious Tang Yin became. The latter smiled up and said, "first of all, I thank Brother Shao for his kindness, but Fengguo is really in trouble now. Can I send troops? I'll give Brother Shao an accurate answer tomorrow. In only one day, Brother Shao can't wait?"
Shao looked lonely and said, "I thought that with the friendship between my two brothers, as long as I spoke, even if it was not good, brother Wang of Tang would help each other. I think at the beginning, when the wind country was suffering, didn't our country try to help at the risk of destroying the country?"
When he said this, Tang Yin had nothing to say. Indeed, the wind cutting alliance is threatening. If Mo country does not remain neutral, it is not certain whether there is a wind country now. Tang Yin smiled and said, "I will not forget the benefits of Brother Shao to the wind country. I will try my best to help Brother Shao in this matter."
"So brother Tang agreed?" Shao Fang changed his face like turning a book. He said he would change. Just now his face was gray. After hearing Tang Yin's words, his face immediately showed brilliance.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "although I want to help Brother Shao, it is unknown whether the ministers will agree, but Brother Shao can rest assured that even if the ministers object, I will try my best to persuade them." His words still didn't give Shaofang a definite letter. The latter was about to speak. Tang Yin made a ha ha, interrupted the topic and said, "I know Brother Shao has always liked singing and dancing. I've wrapped up the largest restaurant in Yancheng. You and I might as well go to the restaurant and listen to music and dance while eating wine instead of sitting here and chatting."
Secretly, Tang Yin was cunning. After all, he still didn't finalize the matter on the spot. However, Shao Fang was not good enough to insist again and again. He could only follow Tang Yin's words and say, "OK! This journey really makes me feel hard. It's better to have fun."
