Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly smiled:

"Princess Yelu, what you just said is correct or incorrect."

"The reason why what you just said is right or wrong is because:"

"You said that I, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, was the most outstanding intelligent person in hundreds of years, but this is correct."

"As for what's wrong, it's wrong for you to ask our country for those five steel chariots."

Yelu Nanxian's face suddenly showed a trace of confusion:

"Why is that?"

"Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, just because of his stingy nature, would refuse this little girl's request?"

Zhao Ji slowly waved his hand in the direction of Yelu Nanxian:

"That's not the case."

"It's just that the steel chariot is not only extremely troublesome to manufacture, but its internal structure is also quite complicated."

"Even though our Song Dynasty produced many talented people, we have only produced five vehicles until now."

"As for these five steel chariots, the application range of our Song Dynasty is also extremely wide."

"First, to scare others, and second, I will occasionally use those steel chariots to hunt in the mountains and forests near Tokyo City."

"For killing boring time."

"Since Princess Yelu just said it, you are asking for those five steel chariots back this time just to kill time for your Lord."

"But I also need it here."

"I can't wrong myself just because I satisfy the preferences of the leader of your country, right?"

"What wise man in the world would do such a laborious and thankless thing?"

"However, if you don't want to, you can still talk about this matter."

"But before that, you have to show some sincerity, right?"

Yelu Nanxian frowned and said with a puzzled face:

"Sincere?"

"But before that, our Daliao Kingdom has already shown our sincerity to your country."

"If this were not the case, how could I have agreed to donate large amounts of gold and silver to your country every year?"

"Isn't it enough to be so sincere?"

Zhao Ji waved his hand slowly:

"It's not that it's not enough, it's that these are two different things."

"The sincerity that Princess Yelu just said was just the sincerity that your country used to show when you wanted our country to send troops and form an alliance with your country."

"And now, what the two of us are talking about is no longer about the alliance between the two countries, but about the five steel chariots you want to ask for from our country."

"Since they are no longer the same thing, how can the sincerity shown just now be counted?"

"You can't just use a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to exchange a steady stream of various benefits from us for your country, right?"

"How can such a beautiful thing be accomplished?"

"If you want to put it another way, our country only uses a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and it continues to benefit from your country."

"The first is the population of soldiers and horses, the second is wartime resources, the third is a large number of beauties, and the fourth is countless territories?"

"But I don't know if your country can agree?"

Yelu Nanxian sighed helplessly:

"This little girl really didn't expect this before she came to your country."

"I didn't expect that you, the Great China and the Great Kingdom, would be so realistic in such details."

"It is really contrary to what the little girl has heard before, such as being charitable, benevolent and generous, and other foreign strategies."

Just when Zhao Ji was thinking about how to answer such a question.

Su Yuanjing, who stood under the jade steps and had not answered for a long time, slowly walked out from the queue of civil servants:

"Princess Yelu, we, the great Chinese people and the mighty Song Dynasty, are kind, charitable, benevolent and generous, but it is true."

"It's just that our two races have different understandings of these two points."

"The so-called benevolence, benevolence, kindness and generosity of our country have always been given to the friendly neighbors and subordinate states with which our country has extremely close relations."

"Princess Yelu, please listen carefully to those two special words."

"One is a friendly neighbor, and the other is a dependent country."

"But what is the attribute of your country to our country?"

"Although they are neighbors, it is true that they were not friendly decades ago, right?"

"If not, our country has presented national gifts to your country every year before this, but what is the reason?"

"If two neighboring countries are equal, harmonious, and have good relations, will one party pay tribute to the other party year after year?"

"I don't think so, right?"

"As for the second one, that's out of the question."

"Since your country and our country do not have the two relationship conditions of friendly neighbors and subordinate states, then there is no need for our country to be kind, benevolent, and generous to your country."

"Princess Yelu, what do you think?"

Perhaps it was not until this moment that Zhao Ji truly experienced Su Yuanjing's outstanding eloquence.

That is indeed quite clear logic and quick thinking.

As soon as Su Yuanjing's words came out, he couldn't help but render Yelu Nanxian speechless.

He stood there blankly, the expression on his face changed, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

After a long time, he just said helplessly:

"Well, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, please tell me, what kind of sincerity do you need from us before you can discuss with us about the five steel chariots?"

Maybe it's because he sat on the dragon chair for too long.

At this time, Zhao Ji only felt that his neck was quite sore.

After shaking his neck slightly, he said as a matter of course:

"The first point is, Your Highness Princess Yelu, should you also take off the veil that shines on your face?"

"How can a person be sincere if he doesn't dare to show his true colors to others?"

"Is it possible that our Highness, Princess Yelu, is extremely ugly?"

"Are you so secretive because you're afraid of scaring the civil and military officials of my dynasty?"

"If this is really the case, then please ask Her Royal Highness to put on the veil."

"Lest everything that follows becomes undiscussable."

Yelu Nanxian, who was wearing a purple gauze scarf, stood under the jade steps and stared blankly at Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon chair for a long time before he chuckled:

"Although many of the customs in your Central Plains region are unacceptable to us as people from the Liao Kingdom."

"But one sentence was cited as a classic by the little girl."

"That is, everyone has a love for beauty."

"Since His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is so curious about the beauty of the little girl, and wants to see the face of me, a foreign princess."

"That little girl, as a tolerant and generous person, how can she not agree at this moment?"

As Yelu Nanxian spoke, he gently took off the purple gauze that shone on his face.

It was a very charming face.
