Chapter 618: Stopping
A minister of the household department, Guan Tian's money and food, and settle accounts.
A national business director, Guan Tian, is a businessman who makes money.
Moreover, is the president of the National Chamber of Commerce among the bureaucrats of Chu State?
Can this also be used for peace talks?
Are they really here for peace talks?
For a moment, Yang Mingzhi trembled for Zhou Guo's treasury.
The other party came prepared!
Master Zheng and Xu Qing stood up and looked at Yang Mingzhi. Although their eyes were shining, they still smiled and said with cupped hands: "Master Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Yang Mingzhi could only bite the bullet and stand up, cupped hands said: "My lords, it's a pleasure to meet you...
After the peace talks between the two sides met, the Emperor of Chu looked at the crowd of civil and military officials and said, "My dear friends, this banquet is a celebration banquet, and we should reward the meritorious service at the banquet! Brother Huang, what do you think the number one hero in this battle should be?" people?"
All the civil and military officials in the house fell silent after hearing this, and turned to look at the virtuous king sitting beside him.
The virtuous king filled his wine glass with wine, picked up his wine glass, stood up, walked down the imperial steps, and said, "This king thought that the number one hero in this battle would be the soldiers who died for our great Chu. You are defending Dachuhe Mountain with flesh and blood, do you have any questions?"
Many civil and military ministers said one after another: "The prince is wise!"
This time, a group of more than a dozen envoys from the state of Zhou was restless.
Well said, please stop talking.
Even if you want to say, let's go out first, shall we?
Where is this rhetoric?
Every word is a nail stuck in their ears!
Naturally, the virtuous king would not pay attention to the thoughts of these envoys. He declared the war so vigorously at the beginning. If you don’t disgust you today, can the people of Chu be able to vent their anger?
Thinking of this, the virtuous king raised his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "This first glass of wine, I will respect the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country! The Chu country is victorious!"
After all, the virtuous king drank it all in one gulp.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also raised their wine glasses and said in unison: "Chu is victorious! Chu is victorious!"
After the civil and military officials of the Man Dynasty finished their first glass of wine, the virtuous king walked to Xu Qing's table, picked up the jug on his table and poured a second glass of wine.
After filling up, King Xian looked at Xu Qing who had stood up and said, "This king never thought that the second hero in this battle would not be on the battlefield over there, but in this capital. "
After all, it wasn't in private, Xu Qing hastily cupped his hands in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and said: "I don't dare to be a minister."
The virtuous king said: "This king said that you can afford it, so naturally you can afford it. This time, the National Chamber of Commerce created a thunderbolt and built a firearms department. Naturally, you, the president of the National Chamber of Commerce, have nothing to do with it. The imperial court has already given a reward for this matter, and this matter is well known, but this king feels that it is not enough."
Xu Qing cupped his hands again and said: "Returning to the lord, the Thunderbolt is not the work of only one person, but also the skilled craftsmen of the entire National Chamber of Commerce and the Firearms Department. It is these skilled craftsmen who have continuously improved and innovated to have today's Thunderbolt and Musket. Your Excellency Don't dare to monopolize it, Wang Ye knows."
Hearing this, King Xian nodded approvingly and said: "The Marquis of Anding County is right, so this award will be given to every skilled craftsman in the Firearms Department."
Xu Qing bowed and said: "I am on behalf of the craftsmen of the Firearms Department of the National Chamber of Commerce, thank you, my lord, thank you Your Majesty."
The virtuous king said: "This time the Firearms Department and its craftsmen are meritorious officials. The meritorious officials are rewarded for their meritorious service. Why should we say thank you? Even if you want to thank them, it should be my king and my great Chu generals who thank them."
Speaking of this, the Xian King continued: "However, there is another achievement that this king has never thought of anyway, that is, after we broke through the first city of Zhou State, the people lined up to welcome our army of Chu State. After investigation, I found out that it was because of the newspaper published by you and Princess Yongle's Qingxue Study. Although I knew the function of this newspaper, I never thought that it would still have such power in other countries. The second glass of wine This king thinks that he should respect the Marquis of Anding County."
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they raised their wine glasses and said, "Respect to Lord Hou!"
Xu Qing was covered in hairs, but he still had the courage to drink the glass of wine.
The Xian King stretched out his hand and patted Xu Qing's shoulder, and said with a big laugh, "In the future, you must cause more troubles for this King."
Sitting on the envoy's seat, Yang Mingzhi's eyes became more and more complicated.
He was also aware of the widespread public opinion in the state of Zhou, and the court had repeatedly ordered the government to suppress these public opinion voices, especially confiscating these newspapers from Chu State, calling them monsters to confuse the public.
But this newspaper seems to be endless, and more and more are being collected.
Moreover, the government also discovered something that made them quite helpless.
That is, the more the government explained, the more the common people and literati believed in it.
I don't know where the atmosphere was brought up, the more the local government refuted the rumors, the more true it proved!
More and more people believe!
It is understandable for you to say that literati believe it. After all, they can read and understand newspapers, but a bunch of tenant farmers and craftsmen who don't know a single character, they even know the news in the newspaper.
Although the imperial court knew that this was the work of the Chu people, and that only the Chu people could produce newspapers, there was nothing they could do about it, which was a real headache.
Can't fight on the battlefield, can't fight among the people, can't help but negotiate...
This Marquis of Anding County is really a strange person in Chu State, but it is a pity why such a strange person is not from their Zhou State?
The virtuous king in front of Xu Qing's table walked up to Xiao Ye again, filled a glass of wine, then raised the glass and said, "It is said that a virtuous person does not avoid relatives, and the third hero of the Chu Kingdom is the prince's son. The battle not only repeatedly defeated the powerful enemy and captured many generals of the enemy country, but also commanded and dispatched Zhen Tianlei to destroy the enemy army as quickly as possible, and even injured Zhou Guoguo's division, causing him to flee in embarrassment. This battle is indisputable!"
Many ministers raised their wine glasses and said, "We respect Your Royal Highness!"
Xiao Ye also raised his wine glass to respect the ministers.
King Xian went back to his original seat, filled the wine, and said, "As for the third glass of wine, it is to honor the soldiers of Chu who have returned from victorious battles for the country. Chu not only remembers the martyrs who died, but also pays homage to them." Remember the living heroes."
The virtuous king and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Chu State were toasting in full swing in the Great Hall, while the envoys of the State of Zhou wished to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.
Chu State is too bullying!
...
The celebration banquet lasted for more than an hour before it came to an end.
After the banquet, Xiao Ye and Xu Qing walked out of the hall together. Many people came to them to toast today. Fortunately, the wine at the banquet was not strong alcohol and Xu Qing tried his best not to get drunk.
At this moment, a voice came from behind Xu Qing, it was the voice of Hubu Shangshu: "Little Junior Brother! Stay!"
When Xu Qing and Xiao Ye turned around, they saw Mr. Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, walking over.
Xiao Ye cupped his hands and said, "My lord father-in-law."
Xu Qing also cupped hands and said: "Senior brother..."
