Yang Bo smiled slightly, of course Xu Jie would not understand why he and Yan Song came together.

Because of interests.

Yang Bo, a treacherous and cunning political animal, can stand with Yan Song only because of his own interests.

The interests of the two are so deep that even Xu Jie can't see clearly.

During the construction of Kaihai in Tianjin, Yan Song took care of a lot of the business of Shanxi merchants, whether it was Huiliansheng of Qian Guangjin, the leader of Shanxi merchants, or Shanxi merchants' shareholding in steel and cement factories, as well as contracting projects, shop sales, trade with Mongolia, etc. In all aspects, Shanxi merchants have received huge benefits and benefits!

The so-called economic base determines the superstructure.

The relationship between Shanxi merchants and the Jin party is inseparable.Shanxi merchants supply the Jin Party and are also the objects that the Jin Party serves.

The political pursuit of the Jin Party is completely based on the interests and needs of Shanxi merchants!

Today, Shanxi merchants have gained huge benefits from Kaihai. From Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, to ordinary members of the Jin Party, everyone has made a fortune. How could they not have a good relationship with Yan Song?

However, on the surface, Yang Bo still maintained an independent state, often fighting with Yan Song.

Xu Jie failed to tease Yang Bo, turned to look at Shen Shixing, and said with a smile: "I am a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and I should have the integrity of a scholar! You can't be attached to Yan Song, right? Old Shen Ge?"

Shen Shixing glanced at Xu Jie coldly, smiled and said nothing.

Xu Jie once again touched his nose, and his face was full of anger.

How come one or two are both of this virtue?

So what kind of medicine did Yan Song give them?How can they be so?No matter how provocative or flirtatious.

Xu Jie looked dazed, and he didn't know the reason, so he could only vomit blood in depression all the way to Tianjin.

As soon as he arrived in Tianjin, Xu Jie became active again, took Ma Sande, and went straight to the place where Yan Song "detained" the "envoy of the friendly country".

When he arrived at the place where the envoy lived, Xu Jie didn't look at Yan Song at all, like a child who had been separated for many years, seeing a long-lost relative, he walked up vigorously and grabbed Hashiba Hideyoshi's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "If you dare to ask, is this Japanese envoys? We are late, you are suffering!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked black and confused.

wtf? !

At the side, Ma Sande watched Xu Jie's performance too hard, which scared the noble envoys to jump, and hurriedly added:

"This is Xu Jie, Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and the next official is the head of the Lifan Academy of the Ming Dynasty. He is the person who receives your foreign envoys. As for the others, they are all acting on their behalf!"

Without fear, he glanced at Yan Song.

Now that Ma Sande has joined the princeling party and became a member of it, not only is he not afraid of offending Yan Song, but he is a little excited.

Thinking of my little Li Fanyuan, even the Taiyuan Hospital dared not to take us seriously, and now I finally got a serious errand, and I can beat the chief assistant Yan Song!

When he thought of taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime diplomatic opportunity to make Yan Song ashamed, his fame would rise from then on, his status in the crown prince's heart would skyrocket, and he would embark on the road to happiness in life.

He was even more exaggerated than Xu Jie. He looked at the bewildered envoys with grief and indignation, and said sincerely: "The emperor heard that some officials of our Ming Dynasty actually detained the envoys and your credentials. I am very angry." , ordered some of our imperial envoys to come and find out the truth, and report back according to the facts! Messengers, what wrongs you have suffered and how wronged you have suffered, don’t be afraid, tell us everything, and naturally we will make decisions for you!”

Ma Sande paused for a moment, and said even more vigorously: "I, Daming, have always been hospitable. Is it okay to have friends coming from afar? Detaining an envoy, how can you treat a guest? Not to mention using dirty tricks just because of profit. The interests of the allies of all countries are damaged! This is absolutely unfeasible! Don’t listen to some people’s words, my Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, how can I make money from allies? My Ming Dynasty has always been generous to the tribute of various countries! Hahaha! If you don’t make money, how can we feel at ease?”

··········

Ma Sande and Xu Jie performed very hard, as if they were ordered by heaven to come to support justice.

But there is a little problem with the performance of these two.

It's just too xenophobia.

We must know that the mentality of the people of Ming Dynasty at this time is much healthier than that of later generations, "the moon is round in a foreign country".Now Xu Jiegui is Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Ma Sande is the director of the Lifan Academy in charge of this matter, but he looks like he is kneeling and licking the Japanese. The reverence from the heart makes the officials and common people of the Ming Dynasty who are watching are very dissatisfied .

Hai Rui is one of them.

Although Hai Rui doesn't approve of Yan Song's violent detention of these envoys, which is disintegrating each other, coercing and luring, and the snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's benefit, but Hai Rui just thinks there is something wrong with this method, and never thinks that it is wrong for Yan Song to deal with foreign envoys like this Should!

.................

In the final analysis, Hai Rui still has the mentality of a big country - we are nobler than them, so we shouldn't count them like this, right?

But now seeing Xu Jie and Ma Sande, he was almost on his knees to lick the Japanese, and Hai Rui was the first to quit.

He stood up and said coldly: "Xu Shangshu, Ma Yuanzheng, what are you talking about? What do you mean I should be generous when the Ming Dynasty is rich? What does it mean not to damage the interests of allies? We are doing business in the sea, Since it is a business, of course it is to make money! This is the national interest! If you want to engage in diplomacy, you can only do it in terms of etiquette, but the actual negotiation is under the control of our city shipping department! What right does your Ministry of Rituals have to announce the conditions we propose? invalid?"

How can Xu Jie think that Hai Rui is a sixth-rank official?He said coldly: "Dignity is important in the Ming Dynasty! Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Diplomacy comes first! You are a mere vice-president, what do you understand? My coming to the court of all nations in the Ming Dynasty is a symbol of a prosperous age. The sage said that a gentleman does not talk about profit! Full of copper stink, dogs and flies camp, how can I be an upright person like me?"

This Xu Jie has been preparing for a long time, and he launched an impromptu attack, using the hat of diplomatic supremacy to suppress others everywhere.

Hai Rui was trembling with anger for a while, but it was hard to scold Xu Jie on the spot.

Chapter 610 Famous quote: The servant is a dog [3]

Yang Bo and Shen Shixing looked at each other, thinking that this is really difficult.

Xu Jie was in charge of diplomacy, and even the cabinet couldn't directly deprive him of his powers. He justified it and said that Daming's face was the most important thing, and they really couldn't say that face was not as important as inner face.

It seems that Xu Jie and the princelings are determined to muddy the water.

Yang Bo looked at Yan Song, ready to see how Yan Song would attack Xu Jie.

Unexpectedly, Yan Song just watched Xu Jie's performance with a smile, without the slightest sign of being anxious.

Xu Jie thought he had a plan, laughed, turned to the envoys, bowed and said, "How is it? What is wrong with the envoys? Did someone force you to sign some unreasonable agreement? As the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, I I won’t sit idly by! How could Ming compete with allies for profit?”
