Chapter 2228 The purpose of the Chinese envoy
Wei Han’s current relationship is very delicate. On the one hand, he just finished the national war and there is still hatred between them. On the other hand, they are all relatives. When no one can eliminate each other, they have to maintain some decentness. After all, neither side wants to fight.
Another point is that as the two most powerful countries in the world, if they keep fighting to the death, they will definitely give Rome a chance to develop. This is something that neither Wei nor Han wants to see, so they can only join forces to kick out the disliked ones first.
The pseudo-Han envoy came to the capital, and the princess of the Great Wei accompanied him. The court attached great importance to this. Yang Xiu, the Minister of Rites, personally went out to welcome him and invited the delegation to the inn specially arranged by the Ministry of Rites. Princess Cao Xian was taken into the palace.
Cao Ang had already ordered that the princess's car frame could be directly driven into the palace, and Cao Cao's family had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.
After waiting for a while, the car finally entered the sight and slowly drove to everyone. The eunuch stepped forward and opened the car door. A woman wearing a gorgeous dress with a bun got out of the car, stepped forward and knelt down and bowed: "The unfilial daughter Cao Xian bowed to her father, mother and queen."
Before he finished speaking, his voice was choked.
Empress Dowager Bian also had tears in her eyes, bent down and helped her up and said with sobs: "Get up quickly, child."
Cao Xian stood up and looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's good to come back. Your royal brother will keep your bedroom for you. Let's live at home when you come back this time."
Cao Xian wanted to say something but couldn't say a word, so he had to nod his head desperately.
After many years, I can't be unhappy.
Cao Ang patted Cao Xian on the shoulder to comfort him, turned his head and said, "Dad, Aunt Bian, don't be afraid here, go into the palace and talk."
"Yes, go into the hall."
Empress Dowager Bian took Cao Xian's hand and walked into the hall, sat around the sofa and let Cao Xian cry and vent. Empress Dowager Bian and other female relatives also wiped their tears and struggled for a long time before they started the conversation.
When a woman chats, the man can't get in the conversation. Cao Cao and Ang and his son left tactfully without a few words, walked out of the hall and looked at each other, sighing helplessly.
To be honest, in this era, transportation is inconvenient, and any separation can be a farewell. Cao Xian was snatched away by Liu Feng's bastard. Everyone thought they would never see each other again in this life. Now they finally meet again. Who can not be excited? They will feel relieved when they see Cao Xian's good looks. Just leave the rest to Queen Mother Bian and Lu Xin to deal with.
Cao Ang smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that although the envoy of Sun Wu, Yan Jin, left, he left a person to be responsible for communicating with the pseudo-Han court before leaving. That person also came with Deng Zhi this time."
Isn’t this the prototype of the embassy abroad in the pseudo-Han period? Jiangdong Biyan Er is really good at playing.
Cao Cao said: "It seems that the relationship between the two families is much closer than we imagined, but it's better. The three families sat together to explain the matter clearly. The government was really incompetent along the way. It took so long for them to figure out the purpose of their coming here."
Cao Ang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Deng Zhi is Jian Yong's successor. Last time he came to Chang'an with Jian Yong, he obviously had a familiar face with us. If he could be selected by Jian Yong, his ability should not be underestimated. Why don't you ask your daughter?"
Cao Cao snorted coldly and turned his head and left. His daughter just came back and was crying to his family. Is it appropriate to tell you this?
Cao Ang turned around and went to the study. Today, Cao Xian was the protagonist of the palace, so the upper and lower parts of the palace naturally surrounded her.
No words all night.
In the morning, Cao Ang specially held a grand dynasty meeting, but the purpose was naturally to receive the pseudo-Han envoy.
In the hall, Cao Ang sat high on the dragon throne, and Baiguanshan shouted long live. After the ceremony, Yang Xiu went out and bowed to worship, "Your Majesty, the Ji Han envoy Deng Zhi and Li Hui were asking for a meeting outside the hall. I dare to ask if Your Majesty met."
Cao Ang said without looking sideways: "Xuan."
The eunuch of the Yellow Gate took two steps forward and shouted in the duck's voice: "Deng Zhi, the special envoy of Xuan Jihan, and Li Hui entered the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, two men in their thirties, wearing Jihan's costumes walked into the hall, came to the steps and bowed to him and said, "Foreign minister Deng Zhi (Li Hui) pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei."
"No gift."
Cao Ang waited for them to get up before he asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, don't you know how good your Majesty the Emperor of Han has been in recent years?"
Deng Zhi bowed and said, "Trust your Majesty Wei to bless you, everything is fine for my emperor."
The two sides talked about nonsense that had not been nutritious for a long time, Cao Ang got into the topic and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Gui is there for the two Han Emperors to come."
This is a question that everyone is concerned about. All officials looked at Deng Zhi and the other two, and Deng Zhi bowed again: "Reported to Emperor Wei, since the Yellow Turbans broke out and the Dong thief was in chaos for more than 30 years, the people were displaced and miserable. Now it has finally been pacified and should rest and rest and restore peace to the people. Therefore, my emperor specially ordered foreign ministers to come and establish a peaceful alliance with the Great Wei, divide the borders, and never violate each other from then on."
Is this really the case?
Diplomacy negotiations also pay attention to skills, and what is thrown out first is definitely not the other party’s true intention.
Knowing this, Cao Ang chose to cooperate and asked with a smile: "Oh, let's talk, where does Ji Han want to take as the boundary?"
Deng Zhi had a long time in his heart and said, "Of course, Panqi County is the boundary, but the North Island of the Strait on the north bank of the Songzhou Strait must belong to our great Han."
The so-called Strait North Island is the section from Bangkok to Singapore in later generations. The terrain is as long as Yingzhou, but it is much smaller than Yingzhou.
Cao Ang shook his head and said, "This is not possible. Malay Island must belong to our Great Wei. There is no room for negotiation on the issue of territorial sovereignty. Since Ji Han said that Panqi County should keep his promise. I don't care about your South Island, and you should not care about my North Island."
The Songzhou Strait is the only maritime channel in the East and the West. You have occupied the North Island. In the future, if the merchant ships of the Great Wei Dynasty want to go there, they have to pay protection fees. I am stupid.
Deng Zhi argued with reason: "The Emperor Wei Mingjian, Beidao is the jurisdiction of our Great Han Dynasty and Songzhou, and is not among the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. It should be returned to our Great Han Dynasty."
Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Sorry, it's my territory in Jiaozhou, the same thing, there is no room for negotiation on the issue of territorial sovereignty. The Han envoy should not worry about it, just say something else."
Deng Zhi sighed, "Since the Emperor Wei is so determined, foreign ministers will not take away the love of others. The North Island of the Strait belongs to the Great Wei. From now on, the Wei and Han countries jointly control the Songzhou Strait. What does the Emperor Wei think?"
This matter is indeed just a bait thrown out.
Cao Ang smiled and said, "Where are the conditions?"
The diplomatic relations between the two countries are always the first priority, and it is all false to build friendships and play the emotional card.
At present, both sides of the Songzhou Strait are in the hands of the pseudo-Han. The distance between that place is too far away, and along the way there are wild forest roads that are difficult to move. The power of the Great Wei Dynasty is still far from reaching it. If it is not clear, it will continue to be run by Ji Han. If you want to conquer it in the future, it will definitely take some trouble. Now that the pseudo-Han is willing to give up, it will definitely have greater plans.
Deng Zhi bowed: "The Emperor of Wei is wise. The north bank of the strait can belong to the Great Wei, but the Tibetan area is a Qiang territory and does not belong to the Great Wei. I believe that Emperor of Wei has no objection to this place."
Cao Ang: "..." It turns out that it was for this, and the small north strait was exchanged for the entire Tibetan area. How dare you open your teeth? Do you think I, Cao Zixiu, is the idiot who "why not eat meat minced" in Emperor Hui of Jin?
