Shu Chen

Chapter 312 Shaking Tongues
Zheng Pu, who knew that he was inevitably made things difficult by harsh words, put down his wine cup, and returned in a leisurely manner, "If you don't think I'm vulgar and ignorant, you can ask me about it. If I know it, I'm bound to talk about it."

"good!"

It was said that Zhu Yi smiled, and after bowing his hands to salute, he asked again, "Liu Yan in your country is a romantic, and dozens of maidservants in his family can make vocal music and recite the Fu of Lu Lingguang Palace. He is a celebrity. And he is in your country. The first emperor of the country was established by Yuzhou when she was a herdsman. He was close to him by his ancestral surname. He traveled from north to south and never left him. The emperor of the country actually punished the evil?"

As soon as these words fell, Zheng Pu felt displeased.

Without him, Liu Yan was punished for insulting the reputation of the emperor Liu Chan. Zhu Yi actually mentioned that there was a vague meaning of saying that the palace of the Han Dynasty was dirty.

There is a saying that the master humiliates his ministers to death.

How can the two countries insult the reputation of the emperor in front of the envoy?
Therefore, Zheng Pu restrained his face, with a sullen expression on his face, and said in a slightly agitated voice, "Our country has strict laws and regulations. Those who are loyal to the time will be rewarded even if they are loyal, and those who break the law and neglect will be punished even though they are relatives! Liu Yan, who was romantic first, was punished. The late emperor of our country invited him as a guest, and there was nothing wrong with him when he was a dignitary. Now he is proud of being favored, and he should die if he commits a crime, and he is governing according to the law. There is no doubt about it!"

After speaking, he paused for a while, still feeling uneasy, and said again, "Furthermore, like Li Si in the Qin Dynasty, he planned for Qin to unite the six countries. Helping Zhao Gao to abuse, coercing and punishing Su Li and Hu Hai, and finally being cut in half by the city and the barbarians, it is not his own fault! So the so-called one time, the other time, how can we generalize? Such a superficial view, my lord Unaware of evil!"

Such honest words, and Zheng Pu's faint tendency to get angry, made Zhu Yi speechless again.

Zhu Ji, who had spoken out just now, was also silent for a while, even Zhang Cheng, who was present with the old god, opened his eyes slightly, as if he was planning to speak to ease the atmosphere in the meeting, but Quan Xu, who had been silent all this time, preempted him.

The prestige of the whole family is now very high in the state of Wu.

Not only because of the merits of Quan Cong and the rich family in Jiangdong, but also because Sun Luban, the eldest daughter who was favored by Sun Quan, lost her husband (Zhou Yu's eldest son Zhou Xun), and was allowed to marry Quan Cong.Sun Luban's mother's family is Wu You General Bu Zhi, so the whole family is one of the few families in Wu that connects the three powers of Wu's imperial family, Huaisi scholars and Jiangdong wealthy families.

Therefore, Quanxu, who has not been crowned for a long time, is usually quite expensive.

Seeing now that Zheng Pu, as a foreign minister, was acting flirtatiously and reprimanding the rich and powerful families in Jiangdong, he couldn't help saying indignantly, "I heard that the noble envoys in Bashu have the same reputation as the old law, filial piety, and grievances, but looking at it now, it is true! Ji Wen said Ask, but I am usually eager to learn and admire the style of famous scholars, so I am just posting my feelings! Your envoy speaks well, and Ji Wen will definitely thank you with courtesy. But why is your envoy still aggressive, and despise me as a backward person in Jiangdong who does not know the story of Qin Lisi?"

When the words fell, he did not wait for Zheng Pu to answer, but satirized with a sneer on his face, "Could it be that the noble envoy was insulted by Liu Yan before, so now he mentions it, and he is angry? This is because there is no appearance, so the heart is always free." Cruel!"

He was actually talking about Zheng Pu's hurt face.

"An Neng said such rude words!"

Zhang Cheng, who had always been at ease, immediately reprimanded Zheng Pu, stood up and bowed his hands to Zheng Pu, and said in a slow voice, "The younger generation is rebellious and speaks without restraint, and I hope that your envoy will not be blamed. After returning from the banquet , I will report to the adults in his family to take responsibility!"

However, who is Zheng Pu!
Under Wei Yan, who is known for his unruliness, who is still stern, how can he gently expose it after being humiliated?

Immediately, he stood up and spoke indignantly.

"I, Marquis Yi of the Han Dynasty, although I must retaliate, I can help the late emperor secure Shu and seize Hanzhong!"

"Although I am not famous for my virtue and I don't have a good appearance, I can still help my great man defeat Wei Zhifeng, assist our prime minister to open up territories, and take the land of Longyou and Hexi!"

"Your country is full of people with high morals and high prestige, and there are many people with beautiful appearance and beauty, but the battle of Xiangfan is the reason for the previous expansion of territory!"

Just as these words fell, not to mention Quan Xu, Zhu Yi and Zhu Ji's eyes were all cracked, and even Zhang Cheng had an angry look on his face.

Because Zheng Pu scolded all the officials in Jiangdong with his words.

Moreover, he first praised Gao's beauty and beauty, and then accused him of betraying his alliance and rebelling against him. Such a shameless irony is no less than Xiang Yu's ridicule in the past that "all Chu people are crowned with monkeys".

Therefore, Zhang Cheng waved his hand to stop Quan Xu and the others who wanted to argue, and with a gloomy face, he asked in a deep voice, "Is your envoy here ordered to discuss war horse trade? Or break the alliance between the two countries?"

"Heh~~~"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Pu laughed when he heard the words.

Shi Shiran sat down, still facing tit for tat, "As the so-called crime of wanting to be punished, there is no excuse. Xi Lu decided to be insulted, Zhong Ni passed through the ranks; Zhao played the Qin Zheng, and Xiangru entered the fou. The ministers of your country first questioned our country. In the name of the first emperor's benevolence and righteousness, and then put the reputation of our country's heavenly palace, and the ministers slander the emperor, how can you deceive me for not following the righteousness of the master, humiliating the ministers and dying?"

Uh.
Zhang Cheng was silent, staring fixedly at Zheng Pu.

Although the anger on his face has faded away, the non-angry and majestic man who has held military power for a long time is even more palpitating.

But obviously, Zheng Pu, who has also been in the army for a long time, has no fear at all.

On the contrary, he still held the small meat-cutting dagger and ate like no one else was around.During the banquet just now, they were all pushing and changing glasses, his stomach was already empty, he didn't seem to be waking up hungry in the middle of the night.

There was a long silence.

Zhang Chengcai withdrew his gaze, took his seat again, and waved his hand, "Your Majesty ordered me to discuss the trade of war horses with the Han envoys. It is inconvenient for you to attend the banquet, so let's go back first."

Although Quan Xu and the others were still indignant, they did not dare to disobey and turned around to leave.

Seeing them leave, Zheng Pu also put down the chopsticks and bowed his hands to Zhang Cheng, "Pu is a native of the mountains, and his nature is vulgar. Just now, he spoke indiscriminately and slandered your country's officials. Please forgive me." .”

"Um"

With an inarticulate nod of his head, Zhang Cheng's expression softened slightly.In any case, just now, after all, it was one's own slip of the tongue first.Su Rong also asked, "I don't know how much your country's war horses cost? Your country won Liangzhou, and there should be no shortage of war horses."

"Hey"

Hearing this, Zheng Pu smiled wryly, "To tell you the truth, although our country returned to Liangzhou, all the war horses in the Shandan Ranch were taken away by Wei Wei. War horses can't be said to be lacking, but there are not many of them. But The emperor and the prime minister of our country knew that the two countries of Han and Wu were in a desperate situation, and they also hoped that your country could build cavalry, break Hefei Xiashouchun, and invade the hinterland of Wei and Central Plains. Therefore, the price of each war horse was set at [-] Dendrobium grain fodder .”

After that, he added another sentence.

"Hexi's good horses are priced so cheaply when the world is in peace, let alone the land of Jiangdong, which has always been short of war horses, so you can't compete with me with pennies. Besides, you are a member of the army, and I don't need to say it clearly. , it can be seen that our great Han has repeatedly conquered and there is a shortage of grain and fodder. Therefore, our country only accepts grain and fodder in exchange, and does not use other materials as equivalents.”
