"Emperor Daliang, I know you are on the wall right now. Our general feels that we can talk to you before we capture Xuzhou. These court officials are the meeting gift that the general returns to you!" the Dijon envoy pointed. Grand Master Jia and other civil servants explained their intention.
Taishi Jia was also unambiguous and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please open the city gate. The ministers have already drawn up a peace negotiation plan with Dijon. It may be possible tonight without a bloody battle!" Liao Heng clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and said: " It is this old man who caused the fall of the capital. Not only did he deceive the emperor, but he also wants to deceive me! Bring me the crossbow and I will kill this national traitor with my own hands!"
"Hey, your Majesty, don't be anxious. You might as well let them in first and listen to what the plan is, and then we can weigh the pros and cons before talking." Liao Heng listened to Song Che's words, so he had to hold back his anger and clicked. nod.
Song Che waved to open the city gate and welcomed the Dijon envoy, Master Jia and others in. The moment all the officials entered the city, they all knelt down in front of Liao Heng and cried bitterly.
"Everyone, get up!" Liao Heng shouted: "As a minister of the Liang Dynasty, how unbecoming it is to cry and cry!" All the officials had no choice but to wipe their tears and stand up.
The Dijon envoy called himself Ao Gui. From a diplomatic point of view, he dared to enter Xuzhou alone, which was considered quite courageous.
As a diplomatic envoy, his toughness and arrogance are inseparable from the fact that there is a powerful country behind him.
"Emperor Daliang, not to mention these ministers, from the Supreme Emperor Zhao Sui to the millions of people in the capital, are crying all day long. They are so sad that they cry." Ao Gui smiled with a smile on his face.
"You are looking for death!" Jiang Yuntian was about to draw his sword.
"You dare to kill me!" Ao Gui said proudly: "Our general said that if I go out and leave Xuzhou this time and lose a hair, I will slaughter a whole city and be buried with him!" How arrogant?
How helpless? The fists of the generals in Daliang clenched loudly. Song Che asked: "Since the envoy is here for peace talks, don't talk any more nonsense and just state your demands directly, right?"
"Hey, there's no rush." Ao Gui waved his hand and raised his voice: "I heard that there are wise men everywhere in your country. Ao is not talented. He has a few questions in his mind. I want to ask for advice. I wonder if your country dares to answer?"
"Let's talk about peace. If we don't want to talk, get out of Xuzhou. Where do you come from so much nonsense!" Jiang Yuntian cursed. Ao Gui glanced at Jiang Yuntian and said contemptuously: "Anyone can be a wise man, but you, a reckless man, cannot be one."
"Okay, then I'll play with you." Song Che took a step forward, confronted Ao Gui, and gestured for him to ask.
Ao Gui raised the corners of his mouth slightly, twirled his beard, pointed to the ground and asked, "They say the earth is vast and rich in resources, and the sky is round. So, where is the center of the earth?" Song Che was so disdainful, this question was really... too retarded.
"Ambassador Ao, do you know the answer to this question?" he asked. Ao Gui said: "If I knew the answer, why would I come to ask you?" Song Che said matter-of-factly: "That's right, with your brains, it is really difficult to think about this kind of problem... But in our Daliang, even three people Even a 20-year-old child can answer smoothly." Then, he walked around the hall, and finally returned to the same place, stamped his feet, and said to Ao Gui: "The center of the earth is under my feet." Ao Gui. Laughing loudly,
"How smart do I think you are? There is no end to the world. How do you know that the center of the earth is under your feet?" Song Che said: "If you don't believe it, just take a ruler and measure it. If the center of the earth is not under my feet, , on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I will give you Dijon." Ao Gui wanted to argue, but was speechless. He sneered lightly and pointed to the sky: "Excuse me, how many stars are there in the sky? ?" Song Che turned around and walked to the incense burner, grabbed a handful of incense ashes and said, "There are as many stars in the sky as there are incense ash particles." Ao Gui stared at the incense ashes in Song Che's hand and shouted angrily: "How can I count these? How many grains of incense ash are there?”
"Ahhh... sneeze!" Song Che sneezed, and happened to spit out the ashes, turning his face into disgrace.
"Hahaha……"
"Look, he looks like a country dog!" The whole room laughed.
"I'm sorry, Messenger Ao, this incense ash is too pungent, I really can't bear it," Song Che smiled and apologized first, then said,
"When I just sprayed the incense ash, I had already counted it. There are 16,823,075 in total. Then there are so many stars in the sky. If you don't believe it, you can fly to the sky. Count." Ao Gui wiped his face while sneezing, but the more he wiped it, the more messy it became, and the more he wiped it, the funnier it became, just like a clown.
"Messenger Ao, I answered two questions for you, how about you answer two questions for me?" Song Che asked.
Ao Gui gritted his teeth.
"You ask!"
"Excuse me, how high is the sky?"
"This...this...heh! Do you want to stump me with such unanswerable questions? Let me tell you, the sky is...the sky is a hundred thousand feet high!"
"No, the sky is 110,000 feet high! I measured it myself. You will definitely ask me how I measured it. I will tell you that I measured it with my hands, and you will question, how can I measure the sky with my hands? Tsk tsk, You, a small country in Dijon, dare to offend the great power of Heaven, why can't I measure the sky with my hands?"
"This this……"
"You ask again, how thick is the ground?"
"I...how did I know how thick the ground is!"
"This time I will answer you with scientific data. From the crust, to the mantle, to the core, the thickness of the entire earth is 12,742 miles! If you don't believe it, then try your best to live to a thousand Years from now, you will understand how accurate my answer is!" Song Che stared aggressively, he took a step forward, and Ao Gui took a step back.
"You, a ignorant guy, dare to show off your knowledge in front of me. The knowledge in my head is unprecedented in the past thousand years and will never be seen in the next thousand years! Compared with me, are you worthy?"
"You! You, you... you are cruel!" Ao Gui pushed Song Che away, straightened up his clothes, and pretended to be calm: "I just wanted to test it out to see if you have any smart people in Daliang - since it is a peace negotiation , Naturally, we need to talk to smart people, so that we can save our words!" He paused, no longer trying to be pretentious, and said bluntly: "The Liang Dynasty needs to pay tribute to Dijon five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, and cattle and horses. Thirty thousand heads, one million pieces of silk, and then surrender to us Dijon, and cede Taiyuan, Zhending, and the sixteen states of Yanyun; if you can agree to these demands, we will return the emperor and at the same time withdraw our troops and return north. !" Simply, the lion opened his mouth!
