Chapter 582 Longyan Dingding
The people of Yan are good tea, just like the people of Wei are good wine. This is something that everyone in the world knows. Three of the eight famous teas in the world come from the country of Yan. The apricot tea, a black tea and green snail smoke are famous good teas in the world...
Moreover, the slightly higher-end teahouse in Yan State presented to guests not the tea water they had already brewed, but the items for cooking tea, tea stoves, tea leaves, tea sets, etc. are very exquisite. The teapot is placed on the tea stove and the tea fragrance slowly emerges in the fine fire. Then it becomes more and more fragrant, and the tea fragrance fills the room.
What I taste in the teahouse is not tea, but elegance!
Han Mo was sitting on the teahouse at this time, looking through the half-open windows at the sparse pedestrians on the street.
I was going to go to the Leopard Camp to take a look early in the morning, but before I left the mansion, I was pulled here by the unexpected guy on the other side to taste tea.
Yun Canglan was wearing a loose brocade robe and leaned on the chair, staring at the teapot on the tea stove with interest. He didn't know whether he was waiting for the tea or was appreciating the sculptures of the tea girl picking tea on the teapot.
Han Mo took his eyes back from the street, looked at Yun Canglan, and said lightly: "You invited me here early in the morning, was it really just to invite me to have a cup of tea?"
"Of course!" Yun Canglan smiled and said, "Does Lord Han think Canglan has other meanings?"
Han Mo sighed and said, "It's better not to call him an adult here, it's very awkward."
Yun Canglan smiled and said, "If Lord Han doesn't mind, Canglan will call him Brother Han. I wonder if he is disrespectful?"
"It's nothing to lose or respect." Han Mo said calmly: "But I always feel that Brother Yun looks polite on the surface, but he looks like the most rude person in his bones!"
Yun Canglan smiled again: "This is the first time Canglan has heard someone comment like this, but I wonder if Brother Han has said anything?"
Han Mo leaned on the chair, smelling the fragrance of tea floating from the teapot in his nose, and slowly said, "The first time I saw Brother Yun, I entered my mansion in the middle of the night, which surprised me. Today, I went to the mansion early in the morning to invite me out, which surprised me again. Both times surprised me. It was naturally something beyond etiquette. So I feel that Brother Yun is not a person who receives etiquette in his bones!"
"What Brother Han saw is really unique!" Yun Canglan smiled. These two young men with beautiful appearances looked at each other. "But if you don't invite Brother Han out to drink a cup of tea today, I'm afraid you will never have another chance in this life. Canglan is a person who doesn't like to leave regrets, so you can't leave this regret before leaving." He gently stroked the emerald ring worn by the index finger of his left hand, and said leisurely: "At least in the future, we must always let people know that I, Yun Canglan, had also drunk wine and tea with the young talent of Yan State Lord Han. When he went to Yan State, he did not leave much regret!"
Han Mo refused to comment. He smelled the fragrance of tea in the teapot, stood up, picked up the teapot, poured tea into Yun Canglan's teapot first, and then poured half of his teapot, then put the teapot back on the teapot, and smiled faintly: "Brother Yun is going to return to Qingguo now?"
Yun Canglan sighed, picked up the teacup, sniffed it slightly, but did not drink tea. It seemed that he just sniffed the tea fragrance. Then he gently put down the teacup and said, "If no miracle happened, today at dusk, my Daqing delegation would leave Yanjing... So Brother Han should also understand that there is no way to invite you out early in the morning!"
"Miracle?" Han Mo stared at Yun Canglan and said, "What is the miracle Brother Yun refers to?"
Yun Canglan smiled bitterly and said, "Canglan treats Brother Han with sincerity, but Brother Han pretends to be confused with Canglan here!"
Han Mo shook his head and said, "Brother Yun, don't misunderstand it. In fact, I have to think too much about it every day, but I always have no clues about many things, so... Sometimes you can make your words clearer so that we won't be too tired when we speak." He pointed to the closed door of Yashi's room and smiled and said, "And it's very quiet here, and there will be no other ears listening. Even if there is, with Brother Yun's ability, I'm afraid I'll find it immediately!"
Yun Canglan laughed, without taking a turn, and said directly: "The so-called miracle means simple. If you can form an alliance with your country this time, Canglan will probably stay for a few more days. Otherwise, Canglan will lead a group to leave today!"
Han Mo held the teacup and savored the fragrant tea, and said leisurely: "The so-called miracles, usually, are almost impossible to achieve. Does Lord Yun think that it is impossible for us to form an alliance?"
Yun Canglan sighed: "If Canglan is seventy-sixth of confidence in his first fashion, then now he is not even 10% sure!"
"Why did Brother Yun say this?"
"Internal and external troubles come from the heart!" Yun Canglan smiled bitterly and said, "When Canglan was young, he was full of energy and always thought that people were able to overcome nature. Sometimes, with personal power, they could turn the world around. But today, the sea is flowing, Canglan gradually understood that the so-called people were conquering nature, usually it was just a luxury. Things in the world were impermanent, the wind and clouds were changing, and human power... how could human power overcome nature!"
Han Mo thought about it and nodded solemnly: "You seem to be saying it makes sense!" After a pause, he said slowly: "The court is discussing the court, but the result has not yet come out. Brother Yun has at least some chance!"
Yun Canglan smiled and said, "Maybe that's the case. Brother Han, today he is friends with you and has the same taste of fragrant tea. But he wants to meet you on the battlefield, and he will compete with you. At that time, he will really have to learn about Brother Han's ability!"
In the battle between Yan Qingruo, in addition to the flesh-and-blood battle on the battlefield, the dark confrontation behind him is also indispensable.
Han Mo is the director of the West Flower Hall of Yan State, and Yun Canglan is also the deputy commander in the Purple-in-law of Qing State's Purple Guards. The dark yamen led by the two must have a contest in the rear.
Han Mo smiled faintly, and did not speak immediately. He just savored the tea and thoughtful. After a while, he asked: "Brother Yun, I really have no possibility of alliance between us?"
Yun Canglan pondered for a moment and finally said, "Brother Han, I will tell you that my deputy envoy An Yuqing died in Yanjing City, Yan State. Until now, you Dayan has not been able to give a clear statement, and even failed to hand over the murderer. In the eyes of many people in my Qing State, this is a great humiliation. Many people took advantage of this matter to attack and obstruct negotiations." He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Tell me the truth, even if you want to talk to Yan State now, my Qing State mission has no responsibility.
He has a trump card. When we go to the capital, we have expressed our unwillingness to continue the negotiation. In this way, it is naturally impossible to give the mission any help. Even if you, Yan State, lower the negotiation conditions now, and even if you don’t want me to cede land in Daqing, and just put forward some other reasonable conditions, our mission can no longer make the decision. However, Wei State is full of confidence, and our mission can no longer compete with them... In this case, do you think it is possible for us to form an alliance?"
Han Mo frowned.
He understood what Yun Canglan meant, that is, even if Yan State is willing to form an alliance with Qing State and greatly reduce the negotiation conditions, the Qing State mission is no longer qualified to agree.
Because the idea of negotiating in Qingguo was just a matter of negotiating, it was impossible to give Qingguo delegation any negotiation capital.
"Wei State has a large amount of negotiation capital, and the prince and I have no trump card to give. Even if we want to form an alliance with our country, we cannot issue an edict." Yun Canglan stroked the big ring and said slowly: "He can't choose a Qing State that cannot provide any benefits, and abandon the Wei State that can provide many benefits to Yan State, right? If you do this, you Yan State will naturally have a large number of court officials opposed it..."
Han Mo leaned on the chair. After Yun Canglan said this, he finally realized that Yan Qing had almost no hope of forming an alliance.
"Unless...!" Yun Canglan said unexpectedly: "Unless your emperor really uses the last move, it may change the current situation...but it is very unlikely to ask your emperor to do that!"
"What trick?"
Yun Canglan's eyes flashed, but he did not speak immediately. He just turned his head and turned his eyes on the long street.
...
In the Taiping Hall, everyone was waiting for the emperor's will.
The emperor glanced sharply over the court officials and said slowly: "I thought about it over and over again, and finally I felt that now my country is peaceful and the people are safe and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so it is not appropriate to fight for war..." His eyes were fixed on Mr. Qingyuan and said calmly: "Wei State rushed its troops eastward. In my opinion, it will surely trap the soldiers and people of Wei and Qing in the fire and the lives of life are in trouble. This is not what I want to see, but this is the business of you two countries. I don't need to say much, but I will not be involved in the war."
The emperor's words spread clearly in the Taiping Hall, and Tai Shi Xiao's brows were already frowning, while everyone in the court had different expressions, but they were colorful.
"You two countries entered our Yanjing with great sincerity, but their plans were different." The emperor's voice was majestic and low: "What Wei planned was to advance and retreat together and get involved in the war, but what Qing State planned was nothing more than thinking that our Da Yan would not use swords and weapons to avoid worries. I feel that what Qing State planned was consistent with the interests of our Da Yan, so... I decided to form an alliance with the Qing State and not use swords and weapons!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Mr. Qingyuan's expression changed drastically, while Prince Xihe seemed a little surprised, surprised and happy, but for a moment, deep in his eyes showed a deep look of worry.
The court was suddenly a little annoying, and the officials were whispering.
Master Xiao looked gloomy and was about to get up, but the emperor had already seen his movements. He reached out to stop and said in a deep voice: "Of course, if I want my Dayan to not use my sword, Qingguo will always show more sincerity..."
The so-called sincerity in the emperor's mouth naturally means that Qingguo has to put out a lot of money.
This is exactly what Prince Xihe is worried about, because now, the Qing State mission has no trump card in hand and is not qualified to agree to any conditions of Yan State.
Although he heard the order of Emperor Yan to form an alliance with the Qing Kingdom, Prince Xihe was not happy for a moment. If the party in the capital was blocked and did not agree to take out money, the alliance would still not be accomplished.
However, the next words of the Emperor of Yan made Prince Xihe ecstatic, but also made the courtiers exclaim.
"In order to express my sincerity in forming an alliance with Qing Kingdom, I would like to betroth Princess Shuang and the Prince of Qing Kingdom, to make the love between Qin and Jin Kingdom, to continue the harmony between Yan and Qing Kingdom. I hope that my Dayan and Qing Kingdom will have diplomatic relations for generations and live in peace!" The emperor said word by word, but deep in his eyes, there was an undetectable pain.
