This move was somewhat unkind, but Qin Feishi has never been a kind person, so after careful planning, and with the help of Zi Jin and Feng Zheng, Tan Luo fell ill that night, breaking out in cold sweats and shaking uncontrollably. His heartbeat increased, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The next day, I saw many doctors being invited, and then leaving one by one, shaking their heads. Liu Yunxiang knew how Tan Luo was suffering from the disease without asking around.
"After taking this kind of poison, it is very similar to wind-chill syndrome. Most doctors can't detect poisoning at all. The symptoms are very severe. Taking ordinary medicine will not make them better. Instead, they will become worse and worse. He must have a splitting headache now. I wish I could smash my head in." Qin Feishi said while leaning on his chair and sipping tea.
At this time, Feng Zheng also came back. He said that the local officials in Longcheng and the envoys were guarding outside. The doctors they invited said that he was suffering from cold, but the disease was so severe that they really had no way to deal with it.
As soon as Feng Zheng finished speaking, an envoy came to see him.
Liu Yunxiang glanced at Qin Feishi, and then asked Feng Zheng to ask. Feng Zheng came back soon. As expected, the envoy came because of Tan Luo's illness and begged Qin Fei to see their first assistant.
"You said that I also caught wind and cold last night. I'm afraid that the illness will be transferred to Tan Shoufu and make him sicker. Please ask them to hire Gao Ming."
Feng Zheng went back, and the envoy had no choice but to leave first.
"Just wait, Tan Luo will show up before noon." Qin Feishi said firmly.
In fact, before noon, Tan Luo was helped by someone. His face was pale, his lips were purple, his feet were soft, and his eyes were straight.
Liu Yunxiang pretended to be surprised and hurriedly asked Tan Luo to sit down, "Shoufu Tan, I also said that during the peace talks yesterday, you deliberately did not show up and used illness as an excuse. In fact, you were delaying us. I didn't want you to be really sick and still be sick." It has to be so heavy.”
Remember https://m in one second.
Tan Luoyan turned to look at Liu Yunxiang, took a long breath, and then said: "Elder Princess, you think too much... I... how dare I... let you wait... you are really... too sick …”
"Tsk tsk, I believe it now."
"I heard that King Qing has excellent medical skills... Can you please ask him to treat the lower official..."
"Oh, unfortunately, he is also sick."
Liu Yunxiang said with a look of regret on his face. When he looked at Tan Luo again, his face turned even uglier after hearing this. He was probably so sick that he couldn't sit still. The man in his forties, looking at his body shape, should have been very strong, but now he was as sick and weak as a puddle of soft mud.
"If Prince Qing refuses to save Xiaguan... I'm afraid Xiaguan won't be able to survive today..."
"No way, it's just typhoid fever."
"This disease is too severe..."
"Tan Shoufu should go back and have a good rest. Xu will recover after a good sleep."
Tan Luo trembled all over, "I'm just afraid that if I fall asleep... I'll never wake up again..."
"Hey, is it really that serious?"
"yes."
"Then we can't talk?"
"No... no... just wait until Xiaguan's illness is relieved... let's talk right away..."
"Is that settled?"
"yes."
After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to go inside to invite Qin Fei. Qin Feishi coughed and came out. He checked Tan Luo's pulse first, and then shook his head like the doctors. Tan Luo was so frightened that his pupils dilated when he saw him like this.
"It's not that difficult to treat. I'll write a prescription and send your people to get the medicine. Then I'll brew the medicine myself and keep two doses of the medicine. Your illness will be much less severe."
"Then there is His Highness Prince Lao Qing." Tan Luo said hurriedly.
"Sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. This disease needs to be nursed back to health slowly. But Tan Shoufu doesn't need to worry. We are all in this post anyway. We can just treat the disease while talking."
Tan Luo paused and said, "That's fine."
Tan Luo's people brought the medicine, and Qin Fei was cooking it in the kitchen while someone was watching outside, probably because they were afraid that he would poison it. After the medicine was boiled, Qin Fei handed it to Tan Luo's people.
Feng Zheng took a sneak peek and said that Tan Luo was indeed cautious and asked his subordinate to take a sip. Seeing that he was fine, he drank the medicine.
After taking one at noon and one at night, Tan Luo felt much better.
On the second day, the two sides finally sat down at the negotiating table. Tan Luo's face wasn't very good yet, but compared to yesterday, it was much better.
"Is Tan Shoufu feeling better?" Liu Yunxiang asked.
Tan Luo bowed his hands and saluted, "Thank you very much, eldest princess, for your concern. I also want to write that His Highness Prince Qing has treated me. The lower official is much better."
"That's good." Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Since Tan Shoufu is unwell, let's not beat around the bush in today's negotiations. I would like to ask, will the marriage between the two countries continue? Can we still talk about the alliance? ?”
As soon as these words came out, the envoys on Tan Luo's side looked at each other. It was obvious that they were not unified within themselves.
"The marriage can go ahead and the alliance can be discussed easily," Tan Luo said.
"oh?"
Tan Luo paused for a moment and said: "After all, we are not Beijin who is adjacent to Southern Jin. You are anxious, but we really can't be impatient, but we can't stand idly by if we want to have good relations between the two countries."
Having said this, Tan Luo picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Beijin and Darong had a lot of verbal disputes in the past over the ownership of the Zhenbei and Zhenxi boundaries, and they even used their power. If they want to form an alliance now, they must be of the same mind. Since they are of the same mind, , then we have to explain these old things clearly."
"How can I explain it clearly?"
"Using Yunmeng River as the boundary, the north belongs to our Beijin, and the south belongs to your great glory."
Before Liu Yunxiang could speak, Qin Feishi slapped his palm on the table, "Are you here to negotiate? Why do you have the nerve to say it when we ask Da Rong to cede such a large area of land!"
"Prince Qing..."
"Shut up, I should let you die of illness so that you don't have to talk nonsense today!"
Tan Luo's face darkened, and he sighed: "This is not the idea of the official, but the result of the discussion of the ministers in the court, and the emperor also nodded, so no matter how you two scold the official, there is nothing the official can do." .”
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Then there's no need to talk about it."
"you!"
"Whether we need to talk about it or not, it's not you who has the final say, and certainly not ours." Liu Yunxiang pulled Qin Fei to sit down, "Tan Chief Fu, you can express your attitude to the court, and we will also treat you The conditions will be communicated to the Da Rong court, what do you think?"
"Of course, as it should be."
"But Tan Shoufu must convey our intention clearly. We will not give up an inch of ground to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and we will not give up an inch of ground to the Northern Jin Dynasty."
"and you……"
"There is no need to discuss this matter. I can make the decision. What we want to convey to the court is that since Beijin has insulted me, Da Rong, should I, Da Rong, sever diplomatic relations with Beijin and form an alliance with me?" Give up."
"Oh, don't forget that it was you, Da Rong, who begged us, Beijin, to form an alliance."
"Did we beg you?"
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Cooperate." Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "If cooperation fails, then we will not cooperate. Beijin is indeed not in a hurry, but if Southern Jin can eat Da Rong, it can definitely eat Beijin. We are both prey, so what do you have to be proud of? . We at Dayong at least have the backbone and tried our best. As for you Beijin, in the end you just ended up with the word 'stupid'."
After saying that, Liu Yunxiang stood up and left without any hesitation.
Back in the backyard, Qin Feishi raised his chin at Liu Yunxiang, "Are we done talking now?"
Liu Yunxiang shrugged, "They made it clear that they were going to discuss the matter."
"It really is."
North of the Yunmeng River is their border defense line of Darong, with several passes. If the large area of land in the north is ceded to Beijin, it will mean that the door to the north of Darong will be opened, just like soldiers taking off their armor and having no defense. What's more, the Yunmeng River nurtures large areas of fertile soil on both sides of the river, and is an important food production area in the north. The Da Rong court cannot agree, so the talks are bound to collapse.
"I'm thinking, if this is the case, this negotiation is meaningless, then why did Leng Yuxie send a chief minister of the cabinet to negotiate."
Totally unnecessary!
