"Master Fang is so loyal. I just gave Master Fang a hand. Master Fang really doesn't have to be like this." Lu Zhishan was so busy that he helped Fang Ze lift it up. "Now that we are all a family, Master Fang doesn't have to follow me." Out of sight."
Zheng Zuoyang brought tea and said hurriedly: "General and father-in-law, let's sit down and talk."
"Yes, is there any reason for us to stand and talk?" Lu Zhishan smiled and pulled Fang Zeduan to sit down.
Zheng Zuoyang poured tea for them, and then sat down at the bottom with Du Heng.
Fang Zeduan couldn't wait to drink tea, so he frowned and said to Lu Zhishan, "Has the Lord heard about today's palace banquet?"
"I heard that," Lu Zhishan nodded and looked at Fang Zeduan, "As soon as I heard Du Heng said that Mr. Fang would come over in person in the evening, I knew that Mr. Fang must be very anxious."
"Who says it's not the case?" Fang Zeduan sighed, "Then Siam and Tubo have gone too far. They are so greedy that they want to increase the annual compensation of 100,000 taels of silver to 500,000 taels! It's even bigger! Li sends 400 beauties to each of the two countries every year. This is really too much! Forget about the silver, how can it be that Li is sending 800 beauties to Tibet and Siam every year? Are you so incompetent? Do you have to rely on these 800 innocent women every year to buy this humiliating peace? If Siam and Tubo realize that Dali is so weak and easy to bully, wouldn’t it be 800 next year? If you are destined to have a thousand beauties in the year after tomorrow, it will be two thousand in the year after tomorrow!”
Lu Zhishan nodded and said: "I have always despised sacrificing women for peace. Whether it is a high-sounding royal marriage or such a naked and naked robbery of beauties, it is a disgrace to Dali."
Zheng Zuoyang also had an indignant look on his face: "Back then, the general served as a soldier and went to southern Xinjiang. He was loyal and patriotic with all his swords and swords. However, he was accidentally killed by the treacherous and evil villain in the capital. Not only did he hurt his leg, but... he also injured seven people. Wan Dali's soldiers died in southern Xinjiang. If it hadn't been for the defeat of Hue, why would Dali have signed this humiliating treaty with Siam and Tubo! After all, it was all because of the Dali royal family! "
"The soldiers shed their blood for Dali on the front line, but they were killed by the Dali royal family. How can we not make people feel cold?" Du Heng also sneered, "When I just learned about all this, I definitely didn't dare. Believe it or not, how could such a shameless thing happen? It’s ridiculous that Long Live the Lord would cover up the trouble!”
Lu Zhishan, however, had a calm look on his face, and Fang Zeduan said: "Wei Junchen was a peacemaker back then, and the deposed prince behind him was naturally also a peacemaker. The treaty signed between Dali and Siam and Tibet was also brokered by Wei Junchen, so there is The deposed prince and Wei Junchen were in the court for a day, and Siam and Tubo became more at ease. Now that Wei Junchen is gone, the deposed prince has also had his ups and downs. Now he has become the reclusive Prince Huai. The Dali royal family has gone through ups and downs in the past two years. Siam He and Tubo are inevitably uneasy. This time they sent envoys to Beijing to negotiate a new contract. I am afraid that they are deliberately testing the attitude of Lord Long Live. I wonder if Master Fang can speculate on Lord Long Live's intentions? "
"The royal family of Dali has been in constant trouble in the past two years. Naturally, Long Live Lord does not want to offend Siam and Tubo at this time," Fang Zeduan said, "Furthermore, Dali's poverty and weakness are no longer something that happens in a day or two. Apart from other things, just talking about the generals in the DPRK, it is said that thousands of armies are easy to get, but good generals are hard to find. If we want to go to war with Siam and Tubo, we will naturally choose good generals to lead the army. However, except for the Minister of War, Ma Ruilin, there is no one in the DPRK. There is no one to mention, but Ma Ruilin is the minister of the Ministry of War, so he cannot go to the battlefield now. Is it possible that the so-called military general in the court, who is weak and can only flatter others, should be used to take command in the southwest? "
