Chapter 774 Good Son
The two of them stopped a hundred feet away from the Yan army camp and sat there chatting.
Gong Yang Zhan said,
"Sir Wen, you have been rude to me all along the way, and I don't care about you, but you must remember that you are a guest, responsible for diplomacy, so you must be smart and sweet-talking.
The State of Yan is not like Chu, Sichuan, Wei, Qin and other countries, and the State of Qian is not a superior country in front of them. Put away your arrogant attitude.
The State of Yan is not comparable to those weak countries. This time we are asking them to do something for us. If the two countries can revise the alliance, it will be a great achievement for us.
If you mess it up because of me, be careful or I'll report you."
Wen Bo snorted coldly,
"I'm just targeting you. I know better than you how to handle diplomacy and conduct affairs. Have you ever seen a pig run before eating pork?
We should just follow the way those small countries treat us."
"Alas, we can't be too humble like them. When the envoys from those small countries come to our Daqian, they want to bury their heads in their crotches.
We should have a good attitude, but we can't lose our own prestige.
Our Daqian is not a small country."
"Well, Lord Gongyang finally said something I like to hear."
"Hey, you."
Gong Yang Zhan shook his head and sighed.
The two waited for a long time, and finally, a team of fast horses came out of Shishan County.
The leader was Gongyang Ge, who was wearing a general's armor.
Gongyang Ge saw Gongyang Zhan from a distance, and he ran all the way to the front of the carriage. He stopped his horse, ran forward, slid to his knees, and kowtowed.
"My son greets his father!"
When Gongyang Zhan saw Gongyang Ge kowtow to him so solemnly, the thought of scolding him disappeared in an instant. Looking at his son, he was left with only heartache.
He jumped off the carriage, lifted Gong Yangge up with both hands, and said,
"My son, you have suffered."
Gong Yang Ge's eyes were red as he looked at Gong Yang Zhan and shook his head.
"My child is not suffering, Dad. How are my mother, wife and children?"
"Everything is fine, don't worry, your wife and children have been taken back to our ancestral home, and no one dares to act recklessly.
Your mother cried for several days when she heard that you were defeated and captured.
Later, I heard that you were not dead and had become the commander-in-chief. I was relieved and my health improved a lot."
"Alas, I am an unfilial child and have caused my mother to worry."
"Alright, alright. Look at you. You've lost so much weight since you left home. How come the Yan people can't even provide food for their own commander? And they're letting him starve?"
Gong Yangge suddenly laughed and said,
"No, it was just half a year ago when we were fighting the Yan army. I was worried every day at that time and lost some weight. But I have regained my weight during this period."
Wen Bo on the side quickly said,
"General Gongyang, would the Emperor of Dayan be willing to see us?"
Gong Yang Ge saw Wen Bo and quickly saluted and said,
"Greetings, Master Wen, long time no see."
Wenbo also laughed,
"General Gong Yang, I haven't seen you for over a year, yet you still look so familiar. It's such a blessing to meet you in this foreign country.
Seeing the deep affection between you and your son, I couldn't help but shed tears. Seeing how outstanding Marshal Gong Yang is, and thinking about that useless son at home, I want to go back and teach him a lesson with a stick.
As a distinguished guest and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he naturally knows how to read people's expressions, is eloquent, and understands the art of speaking.
Now that they need Gongyang Ge, they naturally have to say more nice things.
Gong Yang Ge said modestly,
"Master Wen, you are too kind. I am just a defeated general.
By the way, His Majesty has agreed to summon you. He is in the county government office. Let me invite you over."
Gong Yang Zhan asked doubtfully,
"It's almost dark, and the Emperor of Dayan is still willing to see us? And she's a woman, so this is not in accordance with etiquette."
"Your Majesty is not particular about trivial matters. It just so happens that Your Majesty and the prince are both in the county office meeting to discuss military affairs. When they heard that you were coming, they took the opportunity to meet you.
His Majesty said that we have to march early tomorrow morning, so since you are here, you can meet her tonight."
"Okay, let's go then."
Gong Yang Zhan got on the carriage again.
Gong Yang Ge said quickly,
"Father, Lord Wen, I have something to say. His Majesty is pregnant for over four months. Please be careful when you speak and don't anger His Majesty the Great Yan.
If you cause miscarriage, not only Your Majesty, but also her husband, Lanling Prince, will not forgive you. Remember this."
"Don't worry about this. I, your father, can't even speak. We're here to ask for a favor. How can I say something unpleasant?
But you, Ge'er, you are now the commander-in-chief of the Yan army. If your father doesn't ask you to return to Qian Kingdom, you probably won't be able to go back.
But considering that you are from the Qian Kingdom and your whole family is from the Qian Kingdom, please speak up for the Qian Kingdom."
"sure."
Gongyang Ge led the way, and the carriages and cavalry behind him entered the city under the flag of Qian State.
The county town was not big, and we soon arrived at the gate of the county government office.
The cavalrymen were waiting outside, and Gong Yang Ge took them both into the county government office.
Inside the lobby of the county government office, the empress sat on the main seat under the plaque that read "A Bright Mirror Hangs High", with two kings on either side, and the two rows of seats in front were occupied by the generals of various armies.
Among them was a woman with a big belly.
After the two came in, they clasped their hands and bowed,
"Foreign minister Gongyang Zhan, the Minister of Grain of the Great Qian State, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Yan."
"Foreign minister Wenbo, the Imperial Guest of Daqian, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan."
Yan Fuyao said,
"The two messengers, please stand up. Come, please take a seat."
The guards brought two tables and chairs and asked the two to sit in the middle, while Gong Yang Ge sat back in his own seat.
Yan Fuyao looked at Gong Yang Zhan and said calmly,
"Master Gongyang has raised a good son. He has given me such an outstanding general. I should thank you."
Gong Yang Zhan quickly stood up and said,
"My son is not talented and suffered a defeat. I am grateful to His Majesty the Great Yan for not abandoning me and appointing me as the commander-in-chief of the army. I am deeply grateful to His Majesty the Great Yan for not killing me and for your kindness in recognizing my talent."
"It's a pity that I have acted like a villain this time, causing you and your son to have to fight each other in the future. I hope that Lord Gongyang can show mercy to our Marshal Gongyang on the battlefield in the future."
"In fact, there is another way to avoid war. This is exactly the purpose of my visit. I hope that our two countries can rebuild their alliance and help each other."
As he spoke, Gong Yang Zhan handed over the letter from the credential.
Yan Fuyao didn't even look at him, but looked at Ke Gongyang Ge with a playful look and said,
"Marshal Gong Yang, what do you think about this matter?"
Gong Yang Ge immediately stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, I believe we can incite these two gentlemen to rebel and use them as our internal supporters in Qian State, helping our army conquer Qian State."
