One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver and ten thousand stones of grain.
In terms of weight, not much.
Wu Nian gave Chen Ding a thousand-household infantry as a bodyguard, and a thousand civilians were responsible for escorting him. They formed a team and walked along the Longshan Road, and once again arrived at Jieting City.
Street pavilion city, the city gate is open.
Han Lin sent thousands of cavalrymen and prepared some wine by the roadside to welcome Chen Ding. No one knows what will happen next.
But it's different now.
Now the Han family is the king of Xiliang, and they have to be polite on the surface.
After the Han army arrived, Chen Ding asked the team to stay away to avoid misunderstanding. He led more than ten cavalry and rode to see Han Lin.
"General Han."
"Master Chen."
Both parties dismounted their horses and bowed in salute.
"Sir Chen, you have been working hard all the way. I have prepared wine and food for you to sit down and enjoy." Han Lin pointed to the wall next to him and said.
"Thank you, General Han." Chen Ding thanked him. Entered the siege with Han Lin.
There was a round table standing around, and a cook was busy beside it.
The food is hot and so is the wine.
Han Lin and Chen Ding sat at the table together. Han Lin raised his glass and said to Chen Ding: "Master Chen. From now on, Xiliang and the Han Dynasty are one. We are officials in the same dynasty. Master Chen is a close minister of the emperor, so please take good care of me."
"General Han is serious. There are as many bachelors as the stars in the sky around the emperor. I am just one of them. And General Han is a general under the command of the King of Xiliang, one in ten thousand. General Han should take care of me." "Chen Ding shook his head, raised his glass to Han Lin, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Master Chen is being humble. There are indeed many scholars around the emperor, but Master Chen went to Xiliang twice as an envoy, and it was Jane who was at the heart of the emperor."
Han Lin shook his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
The two sides talked politely and waited for Chen Ding to eat and drink. Han Lin then bid farewell to Chen Ding and watched Chen Ding lead his team to Lanzhou.
After Chen Ding left, Han Lin turned to ask the generals beside him, "What do you think?"
"The emperor sent an angel to confer the prince the title of King of Xiliang, with the same treatment as the emperor's eldest son, King Qi. The golden book and seal also fully agreed to the prince's conditions. One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, ten thousand stones of grain. Full of sincerity, which is really gratifying. Congratulations."
"Yes. The prince can use the name of Xiliang to legitimately command Gansu and care for his subjects. Even his subordinates can be promoted to high positions."
The generals all looked happy, their faces glowing red.
One person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
This time it was 120,000 taels of silver and 10,000 shi of grain. From now on, there will be one hundred thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand stones of grain every year. Everyone will share the profits and live a good life.
Han Lin nodded and said: "The emperor's sincerity is indeed full, I have nothing to say about it."
Wu Nian brought so much money and food this time, which he did not expect. Originally, he guessed that Wu Nian might be prevaricating, delaying, or perfunctory.
Especially due to the drought in Shaanxi this year, Wu Nian had too many excuses. But Wu Nian still took out 10,000 shi of food, full of sincerity.
"The military victory at the street pavilion made Wu Nian realize the reality. He felt that Gansu would not be defeated in a short time. So he was full of sincerity and just wanted to appease the Han family."
He secretly thought in his heart, with a serious look on his face, and said: "But. We can't take it lightly. Street pavilion, street pavilion, street pavilion. As long as we guard the street pavilion, we can prevent the Han army from taking a step beyond the thunder pool. On the contrary, If we lose the street pavilion, the good times will come to an end.”
"Remember?"
"Yes." Just as he was happy, a basin of cold water was poured on him. The generals were stunned for a moment, then immediately cheered up and responded loudly.
That's right.
Wu Nian is full of sincerity, but we cannot take it lightly.
Street booths are everything.
"Yes." Han Lin was very satisfied when he saw this and nodded heavily. Since ancient times, pride and arrogance will lead to disaster. Put down your pride and keep a normal mind.
Only then can you have peace and long-lasting peace.
This time we won. But if you want to keep winning, you must not make a wrong step.
Gansu.
No.
Xiliang's national power is too weak, while Han's national power is too strong.
One wrong move and you could lose everything.
............
In the morning, Lanzhou City.
The sun is shining today and the weather is excellent. But there was not a single commoner in the city. There were civil and military officials and soldiers wearing armor everywhere.
There was originally no royal palace in the city.
Han Laocheng renovated the Governor's Yamen and acquired some land for houses, turning it into a barely acceptable palace.
The south gate of the city is open.
Han Laocheng, who is currently the governor, is wearing regular clothes and leading civil and military officials to greet the angel at the city gate.
He gave the Han Dynasty enough face.
There is no way, Wu Nian gave too much.
King title, money and food.
Similar to Han Lin's idea, he also thought that Wu Nian would procrastinate, but he did not expect to give him 120,000 taels of silver and 10,000 shi of grain.
It's so refreshing.
After a while, the Han Dynasty team appeared on the horizon.
Han Laocheng looked as usual, and the civil and military officials bowed their heads slightly to show respect.
When the team stopped, Chen Ding got off the carriage, stepped forward quickly, bowed to Han Laocheng, and said, "Your Majesty."
"Angel." Han Laocheng bowed and returned the greeting.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After some pleasantries, the two of them entered Lanzhou City and came to the palace together with the civil and military officials.
In the main hall of the palace.
Chen Ding took out the imperial edict, and all the civil and military officials of Xiliang Kingdom knelt down. Even Han Laocheng was ready to kneel down. Chen Ding waved his hand and said: "The Emperor said. Although the whole world is the land of the king, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers. But the king of Xiliang is a guest in the Han court. The prince is exempt from kneeling."
"Thank you, Emperor." Han Laocheng got what he asked for. He immediately stood up straight and bent down to salute.
Chen Dingxian read out the imperial edict in Mandarin, with a loud voice that could be heard throughout the hall. There are a lot of words, but they are all nonsense.
To summarize simply, Mr. Han was granted the title of King of Xiliang. Afterwards, Chen Ding asked the eunuch who came with him to take out the treasure seal, gold book, and the prince's crown robe, and gave them to Han Laocheng.
Han Laocheng was also unambiguous. After thanking him, he immediately went to the side hall. After changing his clothes, he ascended the throne in the main hall surrounded by the eunuchs of Xiliang Kingdom.
All civil and military officials knelt down and shouted: "My king is a thousand years old."
Even Chen Ding bowed and saluted to show respect.
Han Laocheng, with his big horse and golden sword, was sitting on the throne with a strong momentum and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
All civil and military officials stood up and waited on both sides.
Han Laocheng added: "The emperor treats the lonely king favorably and allows the lonely king to lead the northwest. Wang Jin, the lonely king orders you to be an envoy and bring treasures, beauties and horses to thank the emperor."
"Send an order to grant amnesty to the Xiliang Kingdom. Give rice, meat, and cloth to the widowed and elderly people."
"Yes." Wang Jin and the civil and military officials all bowed and saluted.
"It's really well-organized. It's not like a crowing dog or a thief." Chen Ding looked aside and thought to himself.
To harmonize the great powers externally, and to appease the people internally.
Han Laocheng is really a hero in troubled times.
