Chapter 144 Diplomatic Rhetoric
"Think, think about it!" Jiang Fang quickly replied.
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Then at the third update tonight, you will wait for me under our treasure ship, and I will take you up to see the sea whale bones."
Jiang Fang, who was quite excited, was hesitant when he heard that she wanted to find Chen Zheng at the third update.
"What? Are you scared?" Chen Zheng teased.
Jiang Fang frowned and asked, "Why should we do it at the third update?"
"I just said that this sea whale bone is a tribute for our Majesty Daliang. If you want to see it now, you must avoid the eyes and ears of others. So choosing at the third update is the best choice for you and me, and for both of us." Chen Zhengdao.
Jiang Fang pondered silently, obviously thinking about what Chen Zheng just said.
After a long time, Jiang Fang raised his head and said to Chen Zheng: "Just meet under the treasure ship as Brother Chen said."
This time, Chen Zheng was expecting. He thought Jiang Fang would retreat when he saw the trouble, so he stopped pestering him to see the sea whale bone.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Fang was so persistent that he actually agreed to his request, which caught Chen Zheng off guard.
"What's wrong? Brother Chen has repented?" Jiang Fang asked instead when he saw Chen Zheng's hesitant expression.
Chen Zheng took a deep breath and asked, "Aren't Miss Jiang afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Fang pretended not to know.
Chen Zheng deliberately used a nearly plundering look, looked Jiang Fang carefully up and down, and smiled: "This moon is dark and the wind is high, and the lonely man and the widow are lonely. If there is any accident, then it will not be an accident."
It can be seen that Jiang Fang's eyes flashed with concern after hearing this, but she quickly covered it up and smiled indifferently: "My identity is the attendant of the Song envoy. If there is any problem with Liang Kingdom again, it will be a big deal. Will anyone do so recklessly?"
Chen Zheng smiled and said, "If there was a ungrateful person who had no intention of being ungrateful, and was tempted by Miss Jiang's beauty, regardless of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, even if Liang punished the thugs severely afterwards, the harm the girl would be irreversible."
Chen Zheng’s words are heartfelt words. Once some harm is caused, it will be difficult to eliminate for the rest of his life.
Sure enough, Jiang Fang began to hesitate again after hearing this.
Chen Zheng was a little proud, and at this time, the rest of the dishes at the banquet were served one after another.
"Will Brother Chen not protect me?" Jiang Fang next to him suddenly said.
Chen Zheng was stunned and subconsciously replied: "I will naturally protect you!"
After hearing this, Jiang Fang burst into a bright smile and said, "Then let's make a decision. Let's meet under the 3rd-hour treasure ship tonight!"
"What? Did you agree?" Chen Zheng asked back, "I won't think about it anymore? This is not safe!"
Jiang Fang shook his head and said, "First of all, this is in Kyoto, Liang State. I don't think that thief dares to cause trouble in Kyoto; secondly, Brother Chen said just now that he would protect me, so what else am I afraid of?"
Chen Zheng secretly felt annoyed and regretted not using sea whale bones to tease Jiang Fang, but now he is making it difficult for him to ride a tiger.
"What? Brother Chen is not playing tricks on me, right?" Jiang Fang asked.
Chen Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not. Since Miss Jiang is not afraid, then we will meet under the treasure ship at the third update tonight. See you all!"
Jiang Fang's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Chen is really wonderful to use words. Let's just say one thing."
As soon as the two made an appointment, the bell rang in the hall, which indicates that the banquet began and you can use your chopsticks.
Li Shuang next to her was almost hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and swallowed them voraciously.
Chen Zheng also tasted a few bites of the dishes. To be honest, except for the unique taste, it was not very delicious. It was far inferior to the Juquande Restaurant opened by him and Li Shuang, and even worse than Haidaiyuan in Dongyang County.
As he was eating, Chen Zheng suddenly missed Dongyang County a little, and even more missed his wife waiting for him in Dongyang County.
"What kind of dish is this? It's so unpalatable?" Li Shuang next to him suddenly complained.
Chen Zheng looked at Li Shuang's side and saw that he was eating a blocky thing, black and not very good-looking.
After looking at the dish in front of me, Chen Zheng picked it up and put it in his mouth to taste it.
It's salty and dry, and tastes like fish, but it's so delicious. It's really not delicious.
"This dish is called mackerel, which is steamed from pickled salted fish." Jiang Fang introduced to Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng, who is used to eating fish, frowned when he heard the recipe of this dish and steamed salted fish. What the hell is this cooking? No wonder it is so unpalatable.
At this moment, on the other side of the head, He Ji suddenly said to the Song envoy Li Qian: "During the time of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, the princes of five directions used this dumpling to entertain guests. The princes of these five directions had the right to conquer the four directions!"
Chen Zheng heard it and was a little confused. He Ji was obviously citing the scriptures and the matter was in the previous dynasty, so it was not surprising that Chen Zheng didn't understand it.
However, Jiang Fang next to him was a little unhappy and snorted coldly: "You Daliang, the Minister of Honglu Temple, really look down on others!"
"How do you say this?" Chen Zheng asked if he didn't understand.
Jiang Fang was very patient and explained to Chen Zheng: "Then He Ji used this marinade to lead out the five-sided marquis. Besides, these five-sided marquis conquered the four sides, which implied that you, Daliang, have strong soldiers and horses, can conquer our Song Kingdom at any time."
After listening to Jiang Fang's explanation, Chen Zheng realized that these scholars could not think of any strategy to govern the country, but this book bag is really powerful in satirizing people.
Just using one dish can achieve the goal of despising people. If you don’t read more books, you really won’t understand it.
Seeing that the Song envoy Li Qian obviously frowned and his face was a little unhappy, but when he was in Tongtai Temple just now, he also made people like Honglu Temple unable to hide their faces, so he understood.
Diplomacy between the two countries is nothing more than a verbal battle, and Li Qian is not afraid of this.
Li Qian smiled slightly and said, "The five-sided marquis are indeed powerful in conquering all directions, but after all, they are just princes and want to obey the orders of Emperor Wen."
A few simple words without too much explanation. After hearing this, He Ji's expression changed and he didn't know how to answer it.
Chen Zheng was also confused. Jiang Fang saw that he didn't understand, so he continued to explain: "He Ji just urged the Five-Plane Marquis to suggest that Liang could conquer Song at any time, so Lord Li used this to retort. He Ji had just compared Liang to a prince, so He Ji was speechless now."
After hearing Jiang Fang's explanation, Chen Zheng let out a long sigh. This diplomatic rhetoric sounded really hard.
