Originally, Wu Haogu planned to rest in his house for a night and then meet Ma Renwang again, and Zhang Jue met in private. However, now Su Che sent someone to invite him, and he couldn't delay it. After instructing Ximen Qing to settle Pan Qiaolian and others for a few children, he changed into an official uniform and took Mi Youren, Wu Chengjiu, Wu Chenglan, He Tianran and others to get on the horse to the Maritime Control Department Office in the south of the city.

He entered the castle where the Maritime Control Department was located. Zhang Kangguo, Su Che and Lin Rong were all there, waiting outside the yamen. After seeing the ceremony, they joined hands to enter the central hall of the yamen. This yamen is actually Wu Haogu's official yamen, and he should have lived here with his family. However, in Jiehe Shang City, the head of Wuhan University had the final say, and he could not control him if he wanted to live in the city.

The two sides exchanged a few greetings, and without waiting for the officials of the establishment department to serve tea, Su Che talked about the latest progress of the peace talks. The emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty first arrived at Jiehe Shang City, and Yelu Yanxi seemed to have admitted it. He proposed the conditions for occupying the Hetao grassland, which originally belonged to Xixia, and increasing the tax on Jiehe Shang City by 150,000 yuan for one year.

The former is nothing. Anyway, the Hetao grasslands and Hebei are not from the Song Dynasty, so it doesn’t matter if the Da Liao takes it. However, the latter has a little problem with a tax of 150,000 yuan a year... Now the tax of Jiehe Market for Da Liao is only 100,000 yuan a year, and it is not a small amount of money to increase it to 250,000 yuan a year.

However, Wu Haogu did not show any painful expression, but just said with a smile: "It is easy to deal with the Khitans when they ask for money. They ask for prices everywhere and bargain on the ground. This matter will be left to the officials."

Su Che never dared to underestimate the Liao people. "Chongdao, don't underestimate the Liao people. It would be nice if you could spend some money to settle things... If the market is tight, you can report to the famous emperor and exempt the Song Dynasty from the tax."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ziyou, I have my own opinions and will definitely not cause any war." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "In the current situation, our Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty are likely to be in-laws. They are all family members, and there is a happy event to be done soon. How can a war start?"

"In-laws? Happy event?" Zhang Kangguo was stunned and said, "Can the court have a marriage kin with the Khitan?"

"Impossible?" Lin Rong shook his head and said, "This dynasty never gets close to the barbarians."

"There are always exceptions in everything," Wu Haogu smiled, "I will definitely marry you this time!"

"Who and who?" Su Che asked.

"The prince of the official family, Qianshun, and Princess Cheng'an of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty... This is a marriage that has been decided long ago. All three media and six recruitment have been passed. It's impossible not to ignore it, right?"

"Prince Qianshun?" Su Che was stunned, "Isn't this a Western thief!"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "He is no longer a thief. Now he is the son of the official family. King Xiping, Taiwei, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the procurator-in-chief, the chief sect, the governor of Hexi and the archivist of Anxi."

Just before Wu Haogu left Kaifeng Prefecture, the envoy who enthroned Zhao Qianshun had already set out. They must have left faster than Wu Haogu, who was with his family. At this time, they had probably arrived at Xingqing Prefecture.

Since Qianshun is now Zhao Ji's son, and Princess Cheng'an of Liao Kingdom Yelu Nanxian is the nominal daughter of Yelu Yanxi. Therefore, their marriage was theoretically the prince of the Song Dynasty married the princess of the Liao Kingdom.

"You can still catch up with relatives like this!" Su Che smiled bitterly, "Wu Chongdao, even if the Liao Kingdom and us are relatives, this money may not be saved."

"No problem." Wu Hao Gu Dao, "It's all for the younger generation. I will go to Ma Renwang tomorrow. Zhang Jue will have a close conversation when meeting and discussing the betrothal gifts."

"Bet gift?" Zhang Kangguo continued to ask, "Is this what the official means?"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "The official did not say it clearly, but he has issued an edict to let the King of Xiping come to the palace to meet. The wedding of King of Xiping and Princess Cheng'an should be done in Kaifeng Prefecture. The Shuxiang felt that we could not help with this matter?"

"That's right," Su Che nodded, "The official family is the father of King Xiping, and the mother of King Xiping, Mrs. Liang is also in Kaifeng Prefecture. Both of these parents are in Kaifeng Prefecture, so of course the marriage between King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an should be held in Kaifeng Prefecture."

"But is King Xiping willing to enter the court?" Lin Rong asked.

"Of course I'm willing," Wu Haogu replied, "Now isn't there a Western great country who enthroned the Black Khan Uighurs as the governor of China, and the Taohuashi Khan, who wants to seize the world of the Song Dynasty? The officials are already furious and are preparing to order the King of Xiping to attack the Black Khan Uighurs and send envoys Baghdad to question him. Is the King of Xiping still afraid that he can't return to Xingzhou?"

Su Che nodded. However, Zhang Kangguo and Lin Rong both shook their heads. This idea was a bit wishful thinking. Su Che has always liked to calm people. The Western thieves were willing to call themselves fathers and had cut so much land. The court should not kill them anymore. If they want to go to Anxi to grab territory, let them go. But Zhang Kangguo and Lin Rong knew that this was not that easy. The Zhao family was the most shameful military officers who had to hold troops to separatist! The civil servants in the court were not that easy to talk to, and they would definitely yell to ask for a glass of wine to release their military power.

Zhang Kangguo and Lin Rong looked at each other, and Zhang Kangguodao said, "No matter what, if the marriage between King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an can be held in Kaifeng Prefecture, it will be a great achievement."

Lin Rong also said: "Even if you give me more betrothal gifts, you can explain them in the court."

If the marriage between Zhao Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian was held in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Qianshun must have entered the court! Otherwise, what should I do? Let Brother Cha replace him? Can someone be replaced when entering the bridal chamber? As long as Zhao Qianshun can be deceived to Kaifeng Prefecture, this great achievement will be achieved! As for whether Zhao Ji will let him go, it has nothing to do with Zhang Kangguo, Su Che, Lin Rong and others.

Wu Haogu didn't care whether Zhao Ji would invite Zhao Qianshun to drink a glass of fine wine to release military power in Kaifeng Prefecture. Of course, his short-sighted businessman was only concerned about his eyes!

Now that Zhang Kangguo and Su Che have already spoken, they naturally no longer delayed. The next morning, accompanied by Ximen Anguo, the residence of Marenwang, located on Majiayuan Street, Nancheng, Jiehe Shang City, because at the beginning, the market was divided equally (the yard without the walls) for thirty-three shareholders, so there was no concentrated luxury residential area, but there were several bright mansions in each market.

Because he was visiting privately, the Ma Renwang did not open the door of the house to greet him, but asked Wu Haogu and others to enter from the side door, and he and Zhang Jue greeted him at the door of the inner hall.

He invited Wu Haogu and Ximen Anguo into the inner hall, and then left the left and right. Without exchanged greetings, he went straight to the topic and said, "Has the Song Dynasty officials agreed to hand over the two checkpoints of Goryeo to me?"

Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass seemed unimportant in the Song Dynasty, and not many people even knew about it. However, in the eyes of the Liao Kingdom, it was a sign of "losing" the Goryeo Kingdom, Goryeo may gradually become a vassal of the Song Dynasty. Originally, when the Goryeo Kingdom and the Jurchens fought, the Liao court only thought that this had not happened. But now the victory and defeat on the battlefield have been decided, and the Goryeo Army was defeated by hundreds of Jurchen cavalry, which could not pose any threat to the Liao Kingdom.

On the contrary, the Jurchens showed their aggressive strength, which attracted the great Liao court to be very vigilant. In this case, the Liao court naturally thought of being responsible for the Goryeo to restrain the Jurchens. However, the Jiehe Maritime Bureau of the Song Dynasty controlled the Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass of the Goryeo. Although it did not receive much tariff, it brought the relationship between the Goryeo and the Song Dynasty closer.

This made Yelu Yanxi very worried, fearing that the Song Dynasty would take the lead in forming a Jurchen alliance with Goryeo, the Song Dynasty. So in Xiao Delid, Yelu Yan reported that he could get Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass, and Yelu Yanxi immediately issued an order.

Now that Goryeo is newly defeated, it is a time for the country to be frightened. If the Liao Dynasty has the name of entering again and is given some appropriate military aid, the king of Goryeo would have to kneel down no matter how reluctant he is.

However, the mission of Song State was not notified. After all, this matter has not been put on the table, so Su Che and the others did not know about it.

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty agreed," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "but the Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass of Goryeo will be handed over to the Daliao as betrothal gifts."

"Bet gift?" Ma Renwang was stunned, "Who should I hire?"

Zhang Jue also said: "Is it possible that the Emperor of Song Dynasty wanted to accept the daughter of the royal family of the Liao Dynasty as his concubine?"

"It's not an official," Wu Haogu shook his head and said, "It's the prince."

"Prince?" Ma Renwang said, "How old is your official family? His prince is about to get married?"

"It's Qianshun," Wu Haogu stopped keeping it and said with a smile, "Qianshun is now the son of the official family. Isn't he going to marry Princess Cheng'an, the daughter of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty?"

Yelu Nanxian was not the daughter of Yelu Yanxi. Yelu Yanxi was not old and could not give birth to such a big daughter. So now Zhao Ji's godson is going to marry Yelu Yanxi's goddaughter. In name, Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi have really become in-laws.

Ma Renwang and Zhang Jue looked at each other and nodded.

"That's fine," said Ma Renwang, "As long as you can get Haizhou Pass and Busan Pass, it will be done."

Zhang Jue added: "But you still have to add a little more to the tax, at least 100,000 yuan a year."

"At most 50,000 yuan," Wu Haogu immediately bargained.

"50,000 twelve..." Ma Ren looked at Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue stretched out two slaps, "Give 100,000 slaps at a time... This is for clearing."

It's a bribe of 100,000 yuan!

Wu Haogu stretched out two fingers and said with a smile: "I'll give you 200,000 yuan! But there are two conditions. One is that the wedding of King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an must be held in Kaifeng Prefecture; the other is that the person arranged by Ma Erge and I have to contract the Goryeo Haizhou Concession and Busan Concession."

Of course, the bribes from the tyrant Wu Dalang were not given for nothing!

I won’t mention the contribution of the wedding of King Xiping and Princess Cheng'an in Kaifeng Prefecture. Just talking about the expenses of the wedding, Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an will be divided. With Zhao Ji’s Fengheng Yuda, why does his son’s marriage have to be spent millions?
