The attendant Da Kui tidied up Wang De's clothes and said, "Master, do I have a meal for you at noon?"

"Of course!" Wang De spread his arms and let Dakui arrange his clothes and belt. He remembered something and explained: "When I'm not around, you stay in the posthouse and don't go out!"

"Yes!" Dakui agreed, and tied the sword around Wang De's waist again, "Okay, sir!"

"Yeah!" Wang De walked out holding his sword hilt, followed by five military soldiers at the door, one of them was Xue Andu's nephew Xue Daogan, Xue Daogan's martial arts had been inherited by the Xue family, and he was young when he was young. Rare opponent in a generation, this time he was appointed as Wang De's guard captain by Xue Andu.

Wang De is the long history of Xue Andu. After Xue Andu received the secret decree from Zhao Junsheng through the black guard, he discussed with Wang De. In the end, Wang De himself asked to be sent to Jiankang. He came to Jiankang already It has been two days, and he was notified by the court of Song Dynasty last night to go to see him today.

After walking for two minutes in a carriage, they arrived outside the palace gate. The carriage stopped outside the palace gate. Wang De got off the carriage. An eunuch came up to him and asked, "Is this the envoy of the Qian Kingdom, Mr. Wang De?"

Wang De cupped his hands: "It's the next official!"

The eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty and the court ministers are already waiting for Your Majesty Wang, please follow me into the palace quickly!"

"Okay, Mr. Lao will lead the way!"

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Wang De was escorted by Xue Daoqian and other five soldiers to the outside of Xuande Hall.

The eunuch stopped and turned around and said, "My lord, please wait a while, let us go and report to His Majesty!"

Wang De bowed: "Thank you!"

After the eunuch left, Xue Daoqian stepped forward and clasped his fists and asked, "Chang Shi, if the guards won't let me in when I enter the palace later, how should I respond?"

Wang De said: "General Xue, don't worry. I am an envoy. No matter how angry the Southern Dynasty is, they dare not do anything to me! This is their territory. We still abide by their rules. If they don't let you enter the palace, You just stay outside the hall and wait, and you must not conflict with them, they dare not do anything to this official, but they don't care about your life or death, understand?"

Xue Daoqian clasped his fists and said, "The general will understand!"

The role of Xue Daogan's guards is mainly to protect Wang De from the conspiratorial attacks of the contemptuous people, but if the Southern Dynasty court wanted to deal with Wang De, their role would be limited, especially in the palace, where several of them No matter how high the martial arts are, it is for nothing.

Soon the eunuch's scream came from the hall: "The envoy of Xuangan Kingdom has an audience!"

Wang De straightened his clothes, then walked up the steps with his sleeves swayed. Xue Daoqian and other five soldiers followed behind him holding their sabers tightly.

What surprised Xue Daoqian and others was that the guards outside the main hall did not stop them, and let them protect Wang De into the Xuande Hall, but when they entered the hall, they found that the four walls of the main hall were standing by the walls. Quite a number of soldiers, all of them heavily armed, mighty and majestic, did not worry about them committing crimes here at all.

Wang De walked to the middle of the main hall and stopped to bow: "Daqian Envoy Wang De invites His Majesty the Emperor to come to see His Majesty the Emperor of Song!"

"Excuse me, your envoy!" Liu Jun raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although Liu Jun was only in his teens, he looked very mature and calm, and asked, "Dare to ask your envoy, I wonder why the Emperor Qian sent you to see me?"

"Not long ago, the lord of Qiuchi, Yang Rare, sent an envoy to Qianjing to present himself as a courtier, honoring me as the overlord of the country. My lord was very angry when he learned that your country sent troops to attack Qiuchi and captured the entire territory of Qiuchi. The country's attack on Qiuchi is tantamount to invading our Daqian. This is an act of blatantly breaking the peace treaty. Your Majesty hereby solemnly protests to Your Majesty and the court of Song Dynasty. I hope that Your Majesty will immediately order the soldiers who captured Qiuchi to withdraw from Qiuchi and hand over Our country sends troops to take over the starting

Liu Jun and the ministers of the Song Dynasty were very surprised. The news that Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming led the army to defeat Yang Nandang and capture the whole territory of Qiuchi was sent to Jiankang by Kuaima only yesterday. They also got the news yesterday. The envoys of the Qian State came earlier than the fast horse messengers of the Song State?

But at this time, the king and ministers of the Song Dynasty have not paid attention to this detail. The problem now is that the envoys of the Qian State came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. The meat comes out.

All the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty were shrewd people, and they immediately understood the intention of Qian Guo.

Liu Yiqing, the king of Linchuan, stood up and scolded Wang De righteously: "When the peace treaty was signed, Qiu Chi was attacking Liangzhou in our country. Why didn't the Qian State restrain Qiu Chi's troops at that time? Now that our country has defeated the Qiu Chi State, you will fight It's really unreasonable to want to pick peaches with such a trick!"

Liu Yiqing is the nephew of Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. His most talked about achievement is that he gathered a group of literati to compile the book "Shi Shuo Xin Yu". In addition to "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", Liu Yiqing He also wrote "You Ming Lu" and "Xuan Yan Ji".

Dr. Pei Songzhi stood up and criticized: "Your country is too careless to do this. Up to now, we still have not received the news that Yang Nandang sent an envoy to profess his vassal to your country. This matter came from the mouth of your envoy. The court officials suspect that this is just your country's one-sided words, and your country's purpose is to seek revenge from our country!"

Beginning with Liu Yiqing and Pei Songzhi, the courtiers of the Song Dynasty stood up and bombarded Wang De one after another. Some even pointed at Wang De's nose and scolded the monarchs and ministers of Qian for their shamelessness.

No matter how the courtiers of the Song Dynasty accused, abused, and ridiculed, Wang De remained motionless with a calm expression.

Knowing that no one would speak up again, Wang Decai said, "Are you all finished? If you haven't finished, then continue. If you have finished, then it's my turn to speak!"

After a pause of two seconds, Wang De's eyes swept across the faces of Song Guojun and his ministers, "Qiu Chi Kingdom is now my Dagan's vassal state, Di Wang Yang is hard to be a minister to my Dagan Emperor, this is an iron fact , Your country’s monarchs and ministers don’t know this news doesn’t mean it’s fake, this envoy is an envoy appointed by Emperor Daqian, and every word and sentence he utters represents the attitude of Emperor Dagan!”

"The problem now is that your country has sent troops to capture the Qiuchi vassal state of our Dagan, and openly violated the peace treaty. On behalf of me, the emperor of Dagan is notifying your monarchs and ministers. It is also an ultimatum. One month later, our Dagan army arrived On the border of Qiuchi, the soldiers and horses of your country who captured Qiuchi must hand over Qiuchi to my Dagan army to complete the transfer of garrison, otherwise I will definitely send troops to fight back and vow to take back Qiuchi. It is not ruled out to send troops to attack other areas of Song State!"

"This envoy will not stay in Jiankang for too long this time, and will leave for the country tomorrow. Regarding this matter, your country can figure it out for itself, and I will not notify your country separately when I dispatch troops! Your Majesty, Your servant bids farewell!"

After all, Wang Deyang left.

All the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty were pale with anger, and the emperor Liu Jun clenched his fists until they turned white.

Chapter 747 Unwilling

"Blackmail, this is blackmail! Too much deception, too much deception!" Emperor Liu Jun was so angry that he couldn't help roaring loudly. He overturned the imperial case, drew out his sword and stabbed at random. Holding his breath, some timid officials trembled with fright.

When Liu Jun got tired of chopping, the imperial case was cut to pieces and fell to the ground. He dropped his sword and sat down on the ground, panting loudly.

The Shangshu ordered Liu Yigong to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, calm down, the body of the dragon is important! From my point of view, the territory of the Chou Chi Kingdom is not worth mentioning. It is just a big place. There is not much output. The court still has to station a lot of troops. I am afraid that the output is not as good as the investment, so it would not be a pity to lose it to the Qian State. Besides, if the Qian State uses this method to swallow the Qiu Chi State, Yang Nandang can see it no matter how stupid he is. The role of Xiangyu, he will definitely feel upset in his heart, we will secretly send someone to provoke him afterwards, and let him cause some troubles for Qianguo, I think this is more beneficial than getting the land of Qiuchi!"

Zang Zhi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Shang Shuling said is very true. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is not appropriate for us to confront the Qian Kingdom for the time being. Your Majesty, please bear with it for a few years. When the national power of the Great Song Dynasty recovers, we will find Qian again." It's not too late for the country to settle accounts!"

Liu Jun said angrily: "I understand the truth, but I just can't swallow this bad breath! This Wang De actually bullied me in the Xuande Palace. When did I, Song Dynasty, be bullied like this?"

As the saying goes, the Lord humiliated his ministers to death. Seeing the emperor like this, the ministers knelt down on the ground to plead guilty: "Let Your Majesty suffer humiliation, and I will wait for death!"

Pei Songzhi said: "Your Majesty, in ancient times, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, endured humiliation, endured humiliation, and worked hard to become stronger. Only then did he defeat Wu and return home in victory! My great Song Dynasty needs time to recuperate and restore its national strength. We need strong soldiers to select generals!"

Liu Jun sighed and raised his hand: "Pass the decree, order Liu Zhendao and Pei Fangming to hand over the land of Qiuchi to the dry army to garrison, and lead the army back to Liangzhou. If there is nothing else, let's go away!"

The eunuch shouted: "Retire!"

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" The ministers bowed down again and shouted.

Wang De, who had just returned to the post house, was preparing to have lunch, when a guard outside the door came in, cupped his fists and bowed to report: "Reporting to Chang Shi, someone from outside the door sent this and said he would hand it over to you!"

Wang De took a small paper roll from the guard and opened it, with a smile on his face, he called his attendant Akui: "Master Japan is happy today, go and ask the kitchen to get two hard vegetables and a jug of good wine, Ben Master wants to drink two cups!"

Seeing that the master was happy, Akui smiled and got up and agreed: "Okay!"

Wang De successfully completed his mission this time, and did not stay in Jiankang, and set off for Yicheng the next day.

······

The capital of Yuanqiuchi, Wudu.

Pei Fangming hurried to Liu Zhendao's residence, Liu Zhendao asked him when he saw him: "Why is General Pei here, what's the matter?"

Pei Fangming clasped his fists and said, "I just received the news that your lord, the Gan army has increased its troops in Tianshui and Chencang areas, and the increased strength is about [-] people!"

Liu Zhendao frowned, stood up unknowingly, and walked down from behind the desk with his hands behind his back, saying: "It's normal for the army to react in the border areas, but it's a bit overwhelming for them to increase so many troops at once. It's not normal! General Pei, it seems that we still need to prepare for the battle to avoid being suddenly attacked by the Gan army, what do you think?"

Pei Fangming clasped his fists and said: "What the envoy said is true. The last general has ordered the defenders of Baima (Yangping Pass), Chiting, and Zhuoshui City to strengthen their guard!"

A few days later, Liu Zhendao was discussing matters with Pei Fangming, and the yamen under the account would report: "Report to the envoy, an edict from the imperial court has arrived, and the envoy who announced the edict has arrived outside the city!"
