After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Due to the urging of the "board and lodging fee" with a very wonderful price...

Of course, it is also possible that the Daxia monarchs and ministers were different from the previous fierceness, which frightened the Oala envoys.Wala did not dare to delay for a moment, so he wrote a letter immediately, sent his confidants back to Wala, and handed it to the Great Khan.

"Why don't you leave?" Seeing his confidant dawdling, just not moving, his heart was already annoyed, so the words he said were naturally not polite.

"My... my lord," the confidant was full of embarrassment, "you must give your subordinates some trouble, right?"

Envoy: "..."

— Where did I get the money for you?

Master Hong saw that the Ministry of Rites worked so hard, and he was willing to go all out. Once he made a plan, he beat the entire Oala envoy group into paupers.

At this moment, the entire Oala envoy group, from the envoy to the deputy envoy to the entourage, except for the clothes and self-defense weapons, only the horses in the stables are left.

Of course, what the horses eat is the forage provided by Honglu Temple, which also has to be counted as money.

As he had no choice, he got a horse from the stable and sold it to an official of Honglu Temple at a price.

"When you come back, don't forget to bring some gold and silver, and lead two horses." Zheng Shi patted his confidant on the shoulder and urged earnestly.

"Yes." The confidant wiped away bitter tears, carrying the money he got from selling the horse, straddled the horse and left, his back was particularly desolate.

Infected by the emotions of his confidants, his eye sockets are also a little hot.

—Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo share

The desolation of the Wala mission was regarded as a joke by everyone in Honglu Temple.

Master Hong, Minister of Honglu Temple, was also inspired by it: in the future, we can adopt a fee system for receiving foreign missions.Not to mention generating income for the country, at least it can earn some extra money for Honglu Temple.

Hmph, from now on, who will dare to say that my Honglu Temple is a Qingshui yamen, without oil and water?

Here Master Hong hadn't finished talking, Shi Nai let him know: there is a phrase called "Extreme joy begets sorrow".

After learning that Honglu Temple charged the envoys of Wala, Shi Nai sent Liang Langzhong to come, and forcibly squeezed away half of the money that Lord Hong received.The euphemistic name is: generating income for the country.

"Our adults have said that the remaining half will be bought and drunk by colleagues in Honglu Temple."

Listen, is this human?

What do you mean being cheap and being good?

This is!

But that being said, in fact, the Ministry of Household Affairs sent people to collect half of the money, and everyone in Honglu Temple let go of their concerns.

After all, this was the first time that Honglu Temple had done such a thing as collecting board and lodging fees from the mission.I thought it was the meaning of the sage, but the sage didn't know it at all.

Although the sage didn't blame him when he knew about it, they were really worried.

Now, since the Ministry of Household Affairs has intervened, it has also given the title of "generating income for the country", which justifies their behavior.

At the same time, it also strengthened Mr. Hong's determination to catch the missionary group in the future.

Mr. Hong thought: I will not let you suffer, Honglu Temple will go to the largest restaurant in the capital to find some top cooks.Make sure you eat well.

******

Cough, leave the future alone, and take care of the present first, which is the most important thing.

There are no secrets in the capital, especially about Wala, if there is a slight disturbance, it will soon spread.

From the request of the Ministry of Rites to the Wara Khan for the funds for the departure, to the Honglu Temple charging the Wara envoys with board and lodging fees, this matter spread among the officials up and down before the next morning court.

To this, people reacted differently.

"Absurd, simply absurd! Since the founding of the country, has my Great Xia ever done such absurd thing of asking for money from the vassal state? No, I must not sit idly by. Tomorrow, I must attend the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple!"

Well, this is old school.

"It's so satisfying! It's so satisfying! I have worked so hard on the battlefield, this time is the most enjoyable time!"

This is the voice of the military attache group.

"It's good to let Wala know the lesson. Instead of leaving the silver to them to prepare military funds, it's better to give me Daxia. In this way, the two sides don't have to go to war, and each other will live forever."

Well, this is the unified caliber of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and it has also inspired many radicals.

In the early morning of the next day, before the conservatives could open their mouths to participate in the performance, the minister of the Ministry of Rites reported to the sage about the negotiations with the Oala envoys.

Of course, above the court, you must not speak nonsense, and you must be careful when speaking.Naturally, he would not and would not be ashamed to bring those intimidating words to the public.

So, the whole process came to the court, and it became extremely harmonious and friendly.

Daxia only made a suggestion, but Wala felt ashamed, and even said that it was right to pay, and they would have trouble sleeping and eating if they were not allowed to pay.It's just that 4000 million taels is a bit much.

Then, the Ministry of Rites kindly gave a solution: installment.

Then the Oirat envoy clapped his hands and praised: What a good idea!As expected of Heaven-Chaoshang Kingdom, it really has a lot of talents.We immediately sent people back to report to King Khan.

……

Hearing the number "4000 million taels", the conservatives were deterred.

After struggling for three seconds between filling the treasury and desperately saving face, the conservatives resolutely stuffed the folders back into their sleeve pockets, decided to go back and lit the fire.

——Since the victims feel happy, why should they meddle in their own business?

Until the end of the morning court, no one came forward to attend the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple. Chen Shangshu and Master Hong both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly wiped off their sweat.

The two looked at each other indiscriminately, and both had the same emotion: money is such a good thing!

However, scholars don't talk about money, this kind of thinking, they just think about it in their hearts.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to talk about their love money, that is, Shi Nai, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

However, Shi Nai was not born as a scholar.And they just pick a little bit, and they are not greedy for ink.Even if there are people who don't like it, they only dare to talk about it in private, and they can't tell others on the surface.

******

The confidants of Nawalazheng lived frugally all the way, hurried to the border, and specially observed the defense of Daxia border.

Because Kaiping, Xuanfu and other places had obtained the secret orders of the saints early, they did not relax their armaments just because they won the battle.It's just waiting for death.

Seeing this, the confidant felt that Daxia was going to use the 4000 million taels of silver to force them to tear up the surrender form, so that they could take the opportunity to destroy the Wala tribe and support other tribes on the grassland.

Therefore, after he returned to the khan tent, he reported the sudden toughness of Daxia and the fact that his frontier army was ready to march at any time and reported to the new Khan King Yeli.

Yeli Neng was elected as the new Khan King by the leaders when Oara was defeated and the people of the tribes were in panic, and he killed the original Khan King Jerry. It was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He is a smart man who understands the needs of the leaders of the various tribes in Oara, and also understands the needs of the Emperor Daxia.

Heaven-chao Shangguo needs face; the various ministries of Wala need a respite.

Yeli had already made up his mind to surrender to Daxia and give the Emperor Daxia face.Then, use the reward from the Great Xia Emperor to appease the leaders of the various ministries.

It can be said that Daxia's reaction caught him by surprise.

"Is Emperor Daxia's attitude very tough?" Yeli asked Zhengshi's confidant.

If Emperor Daxia's attitude is not very tough, there will be a turning point.

The confidant who was envoy said with a bitter face: "Khan, except for the fact that our lord met the Emperor Daxia when we first entered Beijing, the people who received me after that were all officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites. My lord has also asked Seeing the emperor, but the officials of the Ministry of Rituals pushed back and forth, looking easy to talk, but they refused to back down no matter what."

so tricky?

Yeli frowned, walked back and forth a few steps, and asked, "Which one of the officials in Daxia is more pleasing to the emperor?"

Zhengshi's confidant glanced at him, and said hesitantly, "You mean... to bribe Emperor Daxia's favorite?"

"Exactly." Yeli asked unhappily, "Could it be that you can't even think of this?"

"Thinking of it is thinking of it. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Just no money."

"What?" Yeli was shocked, "Don't you carry some money with you when you go to Daxia as an envoy?"

The confidant's face was almost twisted into a bitter gourd, "I brought it. However, the board and lodging in Honglu Temple are charged. The money we brought is posted in Honglu Temple."

Yeli gasped, "The Daxia people are too dark, right?"

Zhengshi's confidants nodded again and again, deeply agreeing.

But there was one more thing that he didn't dare to say.

That is, when they first arrived, they didn't know that there was a charge for board and lodging in Honglu Temple, what was good and what was expensive, and they were dumbfounded later.

Yeli was in a hurry, and after thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind, "When you go to Daxia again this time, bring some treasures and send them to the most trusted minister of the Emperor Daxia, and ask him to help you with a few good words." sentence."

"Yes, sweat."

Yeli took a deep breath and sent this confidant away. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he should make two preparations.

In case Da Xia refused to let go, they would have to lose money.

His Khan position is not stable now. After the defeat of Oara, many small and medium tribes attached to Oara are ready to move, intending to defect after biting a bite of Oara.

The most urgent task is to quickly stabilize Daxia's side, and then deploy troops to suppress those restless small and medium tribes.

It's just that not everyone in Wala accepts him, nor does everyone agree with him.There are always those restless main fighters, just around the corner.

"Come on, please come here, the high priest."

To fight outside, you must first be safe inside.

Although Yeli has never read the books of the Central Plains people, he still understands the basic principles.The Wala people are superstitious about Changshengtian, and to make the war fanatics obedient, they must rely on the power of Changshengtian.

Thinking of this, Yeli couldn't help frowning.

——The high priest has sat in the high position for too long, and his heart has grown.If it was not a last resort, Yeli did not want the high priest to show his strength again.
