The first meaning of Zhou Heng's words is to tell the Northern Qi emperor that the Northern Wei Dynasty has wolf ambitions and the heart of tigers and wolves, and cannot ally with the Northern Wei Dynasty; the second meaning is to refute Tao Xun's words; Block it.
Guan Le looked at Zhou Heng, as expected of King Qi.
Zhou Heng's words were so sharp, and there were so many tricks contained in one sentence.
Hu Shizhi, Lu Wa and others stood still and dared not speak.
Tao Xun originally wanted to use Hu Shizhi, Lu Wa and others to facilitate the alliance, but he didn't expect Zhou Heng's words to completely reverse the situation.
Tao Xun became a loner, and Tao Xun felt like he was abandoned.
"Master Tao, do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing Tao Xun's flustered expression, Zhou Heng asked very calmly.
"His Royal Highness Qi Wang is really sharp and sharp. Do you really think that with a solid tongue, you can resist our Northern Wei and Northern Qi alliance?"
Tao Xun asked Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng shook his head slowly, his eyes fell on Tao Xun, Zhou Heng still had a smile on his face.
"It's not me, Zhou Heng, who resists the Northern Wei and Northern Qi alliance, but the fact that if you, Northern Wei, can really come up with something substantial, Northern Qi will naturally choose Northern Wei, but I'm sorry, you can't come up with it, you just want nothing. Wolf, you just want to stabilize the Northern Qi, once the Northern Wei recovers in the future, can they still be as friendly as they are today?"
Zhou Heng narrated a fact. Zhou Heng was right. The Northern Wei and Northern Qi were allies, but not equal allies. The Northern Wei took the initiative, while the Northern Qi was passive.
"How many times have envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty come to Northern Qi? That time they spoke calmly, aloofly? Aggressive? I, Zhou Heng, don't feel this point, but the Northern Qi lords should know."
Zhou Heng looked at everyone in Northern Qi and said.
At this time, there must be no hesitation. It is the best choice to directly break the alliance with the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Then what is the sincerity of His Highness King Qi?"
Hu Shizhi asked.
"If it's just the 50,000 army's ordnance, it would be too little." Lu Wa followed Hu Shizhi's words. If he wanted to use 50,000 ordnance to make the Northern Qi offend the Northern Wei Dynasty, in Hu Shizhi's opinion, Lu Wa didn't think it was worth it.
Zhou Heng looked at Hu Shizhi and Lu Wa.
"The 50,000 ordnance is indeed short. The 50,000 ordnance is a gift from my Dazhou to Beiqi. I hope we can reach an alliance, and an alliance will be reached between Dazhou and Beiqi. Of course, there are rules in this mutual market, and both parties are equal. , have taxes on each other.¡±
Zhou Heng mentioned the first benefit.
Mutual market.
Over the years, although the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty had contacts, there was no mutual market. Merchants on both sides had to pay a lot of money if they wanted to do business.
? As a result, the commerce and trade between the two countries have not communicated for a long time.
"If there are taxes, it's better to form an alliance with us in the Northern Wei Dynasty!" Tao Xun said with a sneer.
"The emperor's taxation is the basis and the rules. There is no rule without rules, and the mutual market must have rules. When both parties are equal, we establish taxation to check, balance, and control the mutual market."
Zhou Heng explained to the Northern Qi Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I feel that what His Royal Highness Qi Wang said is reasonable. There is no rule without rules. What His Royal Highness Qi said is to open a mutual market, but there must be rules."
Guan Le also felt that what Zhou Heng said was very reasonable, there must be rules in opening a mutual market.
"Secondly, Northern Qi can open up the southern market through my Great Zhou Dynasty. Southern Tang, Southern Liang, Southern Chu, the southern region is rich in products, and Northern Qi can just make up for its own shortcomings."
Zhou Heng continued to explain.
This is the real key to Northern Qi after the alliance between Northern Qi and Great Zhou. Only when Northern Qi opens up the markets of Southern Chu, Southern Tang, and Southern Liang can Northern Qi truly develop its business.
Otherwise, Beiqi would still work behind closed doors.
After Zhou Heng finished speaking, Tao Xun noticed that no one was talking in the hall, and the Northern Qi Emperor also fell into deep thought.
Is it really necessary to choose Da Zhou?
"Your Majesty, please think again. Northern Qi and Northern Wei have been allied for many years and have established trust with each other long ago. However, Da Zhou and Northern Qi are still very unfamiliar."
Tao Xun began to shake the Northern Qi Emperor's inner thoughts.
"trust?"
Zhou Heng suddenly laughed.
"Master Tao, do you believe in trust? I don't believe it, your trust is too muchIt sucks. "
Zhou Heng said.
Tao Xun's words, in Zhou Heng's view, are already the last struggle, want to trust, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty have never trusted each other in these years, they are always wary of each other.
"Your Majesty, I, Zhou Heng, want to say something more. You will only get anything back when you become stronger. Don't always think that others will give it to you voluntarily."
Zhou Heng reminded the Northern Qi Emperor.
In fact, Zhou Heng also saw the Northern Qi Emperor's thoughts to some extent.
He Da Zhou wanted to form an alliance with the Northern Qi and use the Northern Qi to contain the Northern Wei. The Emperor of the Northern Qi wanted to use this alliance to raise some conditions with the Northern Wei.
But in Zhou Heng's eyes, these are just nonsense.
The current situation in the Northern Qi Dynasty is that internal troubles are serious, and the Jiedu Envoys of all parties are ready to move. The Northern Qi Dynasty is not the opponent of the Northern Wei Dynasty at all, even if the Northern Wei Dynasty has been severely injured at this time.
Therefore, it was really just wishful thinking for the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty to blackmail the Northern Wei Dynasty.
If it hadn't been for the Great Zhou's choice to form an alliance with the Northern Qi, would the Northern Wei have attached so much importance to the Northern Qi? The emperor of Northern Qi still didn't fully realize who was Northern Qi's best partner.
"That's all for today."
The Northern Qi Emperor said flatly.
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
The Northern Qi Emperor left the hall.
"Your Highness!"
Guan Yue came out of the hall and caught up with Zhou Heng.
"Xiangguo, I'm very disappointed with you Northern Qi. I'm really disappointed. A strong country should be self-improving. If you can't become strong yourself, you want others to recognize you. It's wishful thinking. Don't always look at short-term benefits. Northern Wei can promise you things now. , I will go back in the future, even doubled."
Zhou Heng said a few words to Guan Yue before turning and leaving.
Three days.
If Bei Qi does not reply after three days, Zhou Heng will leave.
Could it be that they can't do anything without Northern Qi, and the alliance with Northern Qi is just one of the best ways among many ways.
If you take yourself too seriously, you will only get yourself into trouble.
Guan Le also understood what Zhou Heng said. Guan Le did not leave the palace, but came directly to the Imperial Study Room.
The Northern Qi emperor just sat down.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiangguo, please see me!"
"Xuan!"
The Northern Qi Emperor said.
"Your Majesty!" Guan Yue walked in and immediately saluted the Northern Qi Emperor.
"Xiangguo didn't leave, so he must have something to look for me when he came to the Imperial Study!" The Northern Qi Emperor looked at Guan Le, who must have something to look for when Guan Le came to him at this time.
"That's right, I came here to ask the emperor why he didn't agree to Da Zhou today?"
Guan Le expressed the doubts in his heart. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
