Five hundred thousand taels, compared to the annual tax revenue of the imperial court, is nothing, but it depends on the timing.
Maintaining the operation of the imperial court and supporting military expenditures requires a lot of silver. The imperial court is already poor and just waits for the restoration of farming after the beginning of spring and breathes a sigh of relief.
The original intention of peace talks was to survive. Yunzhou wanted to pass peace talks and force the great power to death, but the court would definitely not agree.
Emperor Yongxing said lightly:
I intend to negotiate with Yunzhou. It seems that Yunzhou is unwilling to negotiate with the court.
Ji Yuan frowned:
Your Majesty makes me embarrassed. My Yunzhou army is as powerful as a rainbow. If my father hadn't cared about the people of the world, he would probably have already come to the city.How come our sincere peace talks in Yunzhou are like giving alms to beggars in the eyes of the court?
He once again mentioned the Yunzhou Army's advantages on the battlefield, implying an asymmetry between the two sides.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxing and the Dukes frowned.
At this time, Ji Yuan suddenly changed his mind and sighed:
Forget it, I am good at making decisions. If you take a step back, you can get half of the annual tribute this year, but you will need to make up for it next year.
Your Majesty, my dear sir, what do you think?
Emperor Yongxing breathed silently and said with a smile:
In terms of the details, the Honglu Temple and the Envoy Ji were handed over to consultation.
The so-called detailed rules are to continue bargaining and arguing.
When discussing matters in front of the palace, only discussing one general topic, not discussing the details.
Xu Yuanshuang listened silently and almost understood Ji Yuan's routine. Last night, Ji Yuan and Ge Wenxuan sent a message, discussing and analyzing the hearts of Emperor Dafeng and the Dukes in advance, as well as their approximate ability to bear it.
The conclusion is that the limit is between 200,000 and 250,000 taels of silver (silver is counted separately).
On the way out, Xu Yuanshuang was still thinking that this first condition might be a fierce battle, but with Brother Jiu's eloquence, there must be no big problem.
Now I realize that I still underestimated Ji Yuan.
Why did his estimates so accurately... Xu Yuanshuang felt aroused, and guessed that it was related to the fact that she was putting on airs outside the capital yesterday.
After the initial finalization of the first condition, Ji Yuan continued:
The second condition is that the father hopes that Your Majesty can post a notice to recognize that our Yunzhou lineage is also the orthodox Central Plains.
The dukes were still calm about this, and no one jumped out to criticize him with a harsh voice.
Too much bullying!
Prince Gan, who was wearing regular clothes, and Emperor Jing of Yuan, stepped forward, glared at Ji Yuan, and shouted:
Are you the rebels worthy of being called the orthodox Central Plains?But the bandits who took the mountain as king.
Immediately, several kings and princes came out and followed suit.
The reactions of the princes were completely different. The attitudes of the royal family were extremely fierce. The Central Plains lineage was considered the orthodox Central Plains. What about us?Are we thieves?
If you have to go into it in depth, it is true, but because of this, the royal family of Dafeng will never admit or give in.
Ji Yuan's face turned cold, he swept over several princes and princes, and said lightly:
You don’t know how Emperor Wuzong won the world back then?We just want to return to our identity and status, which is human nature.
The prince who stood up just now reprimanded:
Five hundred years ago, the foolish monarch was incompetent, and he was close to the virtuous ministers and stayed away from the villains, and harmed the loyal and kind. In order to protect the foundation of his ancestors, Emperor Wuzong stood up and followed the people's hearts.
Ji Yuan faced each other with tit-for-tat, and raised his voice:
The former emperor Yuan Jing was foolish and incompetent, obsessed with the beauty of the Taoist leader in the people, and ignored the government's affairs for twenty years, which led to the people's misfortune.Our Yunzhou lineage cannot bear to be destroyed by the foundation of our ancestors by the tyrant king. It is also a clear law of nature and conforms to the will of the people.
Several princes and princes were furious:
Say crazy words!Your Majesty, this son should be killed!
If you let the Dukes choose, this is a condition that you can agree without hesitation, because there is no need to pay a substantial price.
Of course, it's not without a price.
Once the court admits this matter, the Yunzhou rebellion will become legitimate, and the people will surrender second. I am afraid that the gentry and landlords will be afraid that the local officials will rebel with confidence and surrender to Yunzhou.
Since it is the orthodox Central Plains, it is not considered betrayal. It is even hard to be a loyal and martyr.
But these are all small things, because in the current situation in Dafeng, you can't win the fight. Since you can't win, it will be a matter of time before the officials rebel and surrender.
Therefore, the Dukes did not have much resistance to this.
But in the eyes of the royal family, the recognition of Yunzhou as the orthodox Central Plains is more difficult to accept than 500,000 taels of silver, because it was a betrayal of the ancestors.
Emperor Yongxing frowned and said slowly:
This matter will be discussed later!
He does not intend to make a decision at this time. Anyway, the discussion in front of the palace is to set the tone. The negotiations between the two countries involve complex details and cannot result in a short period of time.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yuan was extremely strong and shook his head:
Before coming, my father specifically explained that if Your Majesty does not agree to this matter, the peace talks will not be continued.
This is equivalent to blocking the words.
Emperor Yongxing either agrees or stops the peace talks, and Yunzhou will never give in on this matter.
wishful thinking!
King Yu also stood up and said in a deep voice:
I can also tell you that the court will never give in to this matter.
Ji Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and sighed:
This official has made such a great concession on the annual tribute, giving the court enough face, but unexpectedly he got such a reward.
His face darkened and he said sternly:
Are you really not afraid of our 100,000 cavalry in Yunzhou!
First take advantage of the reason, then use momentum, straighten your waist, and make the strong words set off by the princes and princes, and do not know how to elevate them.
A prince shouted:
Then kill you first!
Ji Yuan sneered:
If this official is afraid of death, he will not enter the capital.
In fact, the real purpose of this peace talks is to force Dafeng to cede land and seek peace without bloodshed, and fighting for territory is the core goal of Yunzhou.
Because the more territory you get, the more luck the national teacher Xu Pingfeng condenses, the closer he will be to the Tianming Master.
Ji Yuan bit the second condition and refused to give up. At first glance, he was trying to lose his foundation, but in fact he was sure that Emperor Yongxing would agree.
Compared with actual interests, life and death, the reputation of the clan must be leaned back.
This matter is more of a dispute between the two royal families of the Dafeng royal family, which does not affect the core interests, and the opposition from the officials is not high.
Then, no matter how many royal relatives shouted, they were just incompetent and furious.
Emperor Yongxing stared at Ji Yuan for a moment, and said word by word:
OK, I agree!
As soon as these words came out, the royal family in the hall changed their faces and shouted:
His Majesty...
Emperor Yongxing raised his hand and forced the princes and princes to retreat with his sharp eyes:
My idea has been made!
Including King Yu, the royal family looked at Emperor Yongxing with disappointment.
Emperor Yongxing turned to Ji Yuan and asked:
What is the third condition?
Ji Yuan stretched out his palm, spread his five fingers and said loudly:
To cede the land, Dafeng wants to cede Yongzhou, Yuzhou and Zhangzhou to us.
In the Golden Palace, there was a moment of silence, and then a noisy discussion arose the next moment.
Although the Dukes and the Yongxing Emperor Capital guessed in advance that Yunzhou might speak out loud and demand compensation and cede land, they really didn't expect that their appetite would be so big.
After fighting for so long, Dafeng lost a Qingzhou.
Then I want to take away the land of the Three States through peace talks without bloodshed?
The chief minister Qian Qingshu came out of the list, his eyes swept over Ji Yuan and others with cold eyes, and said:
Although Qingzhou is lost, Dafeng still has eleven continents, with many soldiers and wide generals. I really think I am afraid that you are a small place in Yunzhou?
Your Majesty is willing to negotiate peace with you, but he is also unable to bear the people's poisoning again, and he is not afraid of your Yunzhou.
Ji Yuan laughed and said:
If you remember correctly, before the autumn harvest, Wei Yuan led 100,000 elite troops to attack the Witch God Sect, and almost wiped out the entire army. This is one of them.
After the beginning of winter, the court once again assembled 90,000 troops and fought with our Yunzhou soldiers in Qingzhou, with more than half of them losing. This is the second one.
The troops in the three northwest prefectures should be used to resist the harassment of the Western Regions coalition forces, and no troops should be dispatched to rescue the war in the south. This is the third one.
There are many soldiers and generals, and there are many soldiers and generals. How dare you ask Qian Shoujiao, if the court still has troops to fight with our Yunzhou?
Every time Ji Yuan said something, the faces of the men in the hall looked a little ugly.
They would not admit it verbally, but they knew in their hearts that every sentence Ji Yuan said was true and every sentence hit the point.
The war in Leizhou in the west was not serious. The coalition forces of the Western Regions mainly harassment, with small wars constantly, and large wars not occur. After all, Buddhism is restrained by the demon clan in the southern border.
But in case of precautions, it is indeed impossible to deploy troops on a large scale.
Qian Qingshu was speechless for a moment, and he naturally disdained to make excuses and snorted coldly.
Seeing that the prime minister was angry and silent, the officials looked at each other and wondered how to refute.
At this time, the Minister of Revenue came out and said slowly:
If you remember correctly, in the 30th year of Yuanjing, Yunzhou recorded 830,000 registered households. How dare you ask the envoy Ji, would Yunzhou raise one army with ten households or twenty households raise one army?How to get a hundred thousand iron cavalry?
How many elites in Yunzhou can be considered a reason.A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how weak Dafeng is, it is no problem to fight the elite of your Yunzhou.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is the most sensitive to data such as money, grain, household registration, and population.
The left censor Liu Hong immediately stepped out of the line and echoed:
The final outcome is just a loss-making loss, and don’t forget that the Witch God Sect is eyeing you, and the allies of Buddhism are not really heart-wrenching towards you Yunzhou.
He just tried to continue to state the situation and convince the young man from Yunzhou.
He was interrupted by laughter, Ji Yuan laughed and said:
Lord Liu, these words are enough to fool a three-year-old child. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to play with your lips and tongues in front of me and change your concepts?
He looked at the Minister of Revenue:
This adult is right, but so what?Now Qingzhou is under our control, and all refugees can be used as soldiers. If you want to fight for the elite of Yunzhou, you are here to try it.
In addition, the supervisor has been killed in Qingzhou by our national teacher. Without this guardian saint, how can you be confident to say that you can fight all the elites in Yunzhou?
Finally, this topic is inevitably mentioned.
It was precisely because of the loss of supervision that Emperor Yongxing and his two kings were scared out of fear. A while ago, they didn't dare to sleep at night, for fear that the terrible group of extraordinary people would enter the capital, enter the palace, and take away their heads from their dreams.
After hearing this, Shangshu Sun of the Ministry of Justice retorted:
Although the supervisor died, Dafeng is not without extraordinary powers, including Sun Xuanji of Sitianjian, Luo Yuheng, national teacher Zhao Shou, director of Yunlu Academy, and... Xu Qi'an!
That’s right, we still have Xu Yinluo.It seemed like I was cheering myself up again, and someone echoed.
Ji Yuan smiled without saying a word, and a robe official behind him sneered:
Even the supervisor died at the hands of our national teacher. Xu Qi'an is worthy of competing with him?It seems that the Ninth Prince was too humble, which made you think that my Yunzhou was afraid of Dafeng.
If you want to negotiate peace, you agree to our conditions.If you don’t want to negotiate peace, naturally, the strong men from Yunzhou will come to the capital and destroy you first.Then the Yunzhou army came to the city and entered the Central Plains.
Are there any other options?
The picture shows the truth. Tearing apart is a necessary process in negotiations. The powerful party holds the bargaining chips in his hand, which is used to put pressure on it.
Cutting the land is necessary, and the more you cut, the less you cut, the details of negotiation.
Ji Yuan gently shook the silver bone fan and said lightly:
Your Majesty and the Dukes may not know the details of the day when the jianzheng died. Then again, the jianzheng is extremely powerful. If the national master had not invited the legendary divine beast White Emperor in Yunzhou and the Dao Master Hei Lian, the Dao leader of the Earth Sect, to kill the jianzheng, it would be as hard as heaven.
He slowly told the process of the powerful men siegeing and killing the supervisor on that day. Of course, it was all Hu, but this was not important. What was important was that through the so-called process, Emperor Yongxing and the Dukes understood how terrible the extraordinary strong men behind Yunzhou were.
The royal family, civil servants and military generals in the hall all looked extremely ugly, either gloomy, clenched their fists, or helpless and depressed.
humiliation!
Emperor Yongxing couldn't help pinching his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:
The land of the three continents is absolutely impossible. I will discuss this matter later. What is the fourth condition?
It means that if you agree to cede the land, you still have to discuss the quantity.
Ji Yuan raised his lips and his goal had been achieved. As of now, the negotiations went smoothly without much twists and turns.
Don't worry, Your Majesty, this fourth condition is nothing, it's just a big deal.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxing's face calmed down slightly and said:
But it doesn't matter.
Ji Yuan closed the silver bone fan:
This official wants to ask Your Majesty for the supervisor's weapon refining letter.
Compared with the first three conditions, this is indeed a big deal. Although the weapon refining letters of first-grade warlocks must be extremely precious, items with too high levels are actually not of personal interests.
……
A complete defeat!
The first confrontation between the imperial court and the Yunzhou delegation was defeated.
This peace talk is inequality itself. It is inevitable that Dafeng wants to seek peace and he will endure the pain of cutting his wounds. However, the feeling of powerlessness shown by the Duke and Emperor Yongxing during the process still made many middle and low-level Beijing officials feel disappointed and disappointed.
And those four conditions, in the eyes of some scholars, are simply disgraceful of power and humiliating the country.
Ceding land to seek peace, a great shame and humiliation!
The first thing that started was the Hanlin Academy. These scholars who had no real power at hand, but were the most noble scholars in the court gathered in the Meridian Gate and cursed.
The tyrant monarch, the fall of Qingzhou alone will scare you.
Once a person dies, we scholars would rather die standing than live on kneeling.
Is the Yunzhou lineage orthodox?Then what is the royal family today? What are the loyalty of scholars like us? The foolish monarch who forgot his ancestors.
Then these people were pulled out to the court one by one, and beaten to death.
This indeed shocked some people, but it could not control the fermentation of rumors. Just after lunch, the students of the Imperial College stopped. The scholars were the most energetic, some wrote articles to mock him; some gathered crowds to criticize him; some hit the high priest's office and asked to hand him a blood letter to His Majesty...
What happened in the morning court was first spread in the officialdom of the capital and the upper class, and then slowly spread to the lower class people. By dusk, rumors spread in the market that the court ceded land and sought peace, and recognized the rebels as the orthodox Central Plains.
Yesterday, when I saw the man from Feizhou entering the city, I knew that the court had asked for peace.
Alas, it is best not to fight. The world is chaotic... But when I think about it, I always feel unwilling to accept it. Why did the court lose if it says it is defeated? When I sent troops to fight the Witch God Sect last year, it was so glorious.
I heard that even the supervisor was dead, but he was an old god in the Sitian supervisor.Alas, the weather is about to change.
Where is Xu Yinluo?Did Xu Yinluo watch the court cede land and seek peace?
Xu Yinluo also tried his best. A while ago, the court posted a notice saying that Xu Yinluo formed an alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the Gu clan. If we have no ally of Buddhism, we will have other allies.
Alas, who would have thought that Qingzhou would lose it if it was lost? Isn’t it hopeless? Xu Yinluo would always stand out if there was anything in the past.
……
Station.
Ji Yuan took out the magic weapon and supported a sound-insulating formation. After listening to his subordinate's report, he smiled:
It's quite lively outside. These nerds who don't know the world are just irrelevant little people. Our next goal is to test Xu Qi'an.
When Xu Yuanshuang heard that it was related to Xu Qi'an, she asked:
How to test it?
Ji Yuan turned the silver bone fan in his hand and said:
For example, when the negotiations were about to end, I suddenly added a condition to marry Dafeng, and the target must be one of the two princesses, Lin'an, Huaiqing.
Xu Qi'an and Lin'an had an engagement, which he found out from people sent by Concubine Chen.
Xu Yuanshuang frowned and said:
Are you looking for death?
If you really want to do this, it is the same as whether the peace talks can be achieved. Whether Xu Qi'an will leave the capital alive is another matter.
Ji Yuan laughed:
The two princesses and I are of the same clan, so marriage is naturally not our lineage, but Yuan Huai Ah.How do you think Xu Qi'an will react?Can he attack his own brother?
He will!Xu Yuanhuai's face suddenly changed, and he was forcing him to death.
Just kidding, look at you nervous.
Ji Yuan smiled like a bad taste, and suddenly sat upright and said:
Xu Qi'an has not shown up yet. We don't know what he has made behind his back.
Although the supervisor was sealed, it was supervisor Ah. Who knows what trump card would be left behind?The national master didn't know either, so he wanted to test Xu Qi'an and test Xu Qi'an through peace talks to understand the supervisor's backup plan.
Xu Yuanshuang's face improved slightly and she asked:
Brother Jiu thinks he will have any trump card?
Ji Yuan thought for a while and laughed:
Dead!
This is a dead end for Xu Qi'an.If it were him, I would always turn a blind eye to the peace talks, and then take advantage of the time the peace talks have won, begging grandpa and suing the extraordinary and powerful people as allies.
So Ah, our trip to the capital was a free reward and there would be no danger.
The folding fan in Ji Yuan's hand rotates:
Even if he has the ability to do things, he can only pinch his nose and recognize it.Ah, I really want to see his dead end, but now is not the time, and I have to wait for us to break through the capital.
……
Jingxiu Palace.
Mother, I heard from Huaiqing that once the land is cedeed and seek peace, Dafeng will be completely helpless.
Lin'an said worriedly, his oval face no longer became clear, and he was stained with a layer of haze.
Concubine Chen said anxiously:
There is no other way. If you don’t seek peace, should you continue to fight with Yunzhou?If you have a chance of winning, will Your Majesty and the guilds focus on peacemaking?
Now only peace talks are the way out, otherwise would you expect your fiancé?
Lin'an bit his lip and was about to cry:
Mother, why do you hate him so much?
A figure in white flashed through Concubine Chen's mind and gritted her teeth:
No one with the surname Xu was good.
She immediately softened her heart and held Lin'an's hand:
Huaiqing has been a slut since childhood and cannot believe her words.Lin'an, you don't understand. Now, no one can save the court except peace talks.
……
The palace.
Qian Qingshu, wearing a thick cloak, headed straight to Wang Zhenwen's bedroom.
When Wang Zhenwen saw him coming in, he waved his hand and took off the maid and asked directly:
What are the conditions?
Qian Qingshu recounted the four conditions in Yunzhou.
Reverse party!Reverse party!!
Wang Zhenwen cursed several times and suddenly started coughing violently.
Qian Qingshu sat beside the bed, gently stroked his back, helping him to calm his anger, and sighed:
Now that things have come to this point, Your Majesty has agreed, but it is impossible to cede the land of the three continents.Your Majesty’s bottom line is to cede Yuzhou.
I admit that Qianlong City is the orthodox lineage of the Central Plains, and I am very committed to the hearts of the people. I ask for money, squeeze out my wealth and financial resources, cede the three continents, and completely become a powerful force...
Wang Zhenwen murmured:
It's over, Huitian is powerless, Huitian is powerless.
Even if Wei Yuan is resurrected, he will not be able to play this game.
Qian Qingshu sighed:
But who can convince Your Majesty? Besides, peace talks are the only way to follow the trend.Now only Xu Qi'an can go against the trend.
But Brother Wang Ah, forcing Xu Qi'an to break up with the court, isn't it a conspiracy of the Yunzhou rebellion?He hasn't appeared yet, just understands this.
I have found out that he is in Sitianjian and sent someone to send a message. If he wants to come, he would have come long ago.
……
Sitianjian, large bedroom.
Xu Qi'an was soaked in a bathtub, leaning against the wall of the bucket, sitting in his arms that was nearly forty years old, and his body was softer than that of a girl.
She sat softly in Xu Qi'an's arms, her head resting on his shoulders, her face flushed, her eyes blurred, and she had no strength in her body.
What, when is it...
After finally having a break from the middle, Mu Nanzhi asked weakly.
Just after lunch.
Xu Qian pinched Mu Nanzhi's willow waist and refused to let her leave her arms for a moment, and was full of energy.
The beauty in her arms is plain white and soft, and her skin is like ivory, delicate and elastic.
Lunch has passed... Mu Nanzhi cursed in a crying voice:
Are you a livestock?I won't let me sleep all night, I won't double practice with you...
Compared with Xiaoyu, your combat power is really too weak... Xu Qi'an said:
The first dual cultivation is the best effect. My energy is still growing and I will stop until it reaches its limit.The energy in your body is also powerful. Nan Zhi Ah, do you know how many people are eager for this kind of practice with a surge in their cultivation.
At the edge of the bathtub, water stains were splashing everywhere, and the clothes and bellybands on the screen had already slipped to the ground, soaked by the overflowing bath water.
The spacious and sturdy bed was in a mess, the quilt fell to the ground, the sheets were wrinkled and messy, and the pillows were not on the head of the bed, but in the center of the bed.
Thanks to the depth of the flower god's essence, Xu Qi'an only took one night to stabilize his foundation.
In normal state, it takes about one tenth of the time after promotion to stabilize the state and adapt to strength.
At this time, he felt a familiar palpitation.
Waving to call out fragments of the earth book from the scattered clothes.
1: The Yunzhou mission has already met Yongxing, and Yunzhou has given four conditions.
Huaiqing sent detailed messages to the local book chat group for the speech at this morning's court meeting.
Finally, a brief review:
1: After defeat, Ji Yuan was an extremely powerful character. In addition, he was overwhelmed by his power, Yongxing and the Dukes had no bargaining chips to negotiate with him.
7: Crazy!
The Son commented.
After reading Huaiqing's retelling, Li Lingsu felt frustrated for Dafeng, let alone Li Miaozhen, who was jealous of evil.
2: If this waste emperor really ceded the land of the three continents, wouldn’t Xu Pingfeng be like a tiger and wouldn’t Yunzhou army be like a tiger?Dafeng still has a chance of winning?
Xu Ningyan, what should I do, whether to fight or what, you say something.
Xu Qian has rarely sent letters to speak recently, which seems extremely negative, which makes Fei Yin's female hero so anxious that she can't sleep or eat.
The other members of the Tiandihui Association were also anxious, and Dafeng slid step by step into the abyss but could not do anything.
3: Don’t worry, do your business with peace of mind, I will handle the peace talks.
After a brief explanation, he hugged the soft and weak Mu Nanzhi while chatting with the top princess.
3: Your Highness, are everything ready?
Maintaining the operation of the imperial court and supporting military expenditures requires a lot of silver. The imperial court is already poor and just waits for the restoration of farming after the beginning of spring and breathes a sigh of relief.
The original intention of peace talks was to survive. Yunzhou wanted to pass peace talks and force the great power to death, but the court would definitely not agree.
Emperor Yongxing said lightly:
I intend to negotiate with Yunzhou. It seems that Yunzhou is unwilling to negotiate with the court.

He once again mentioned the Yunzhou Army's advantages on the battlefield, implying an asymmetry between the two sides.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxing and the Dukes frowned.
At this time, Ji Yuan suddenly changed his mind and sighed:
Forget it, I am good at making decisions. If you take a step back, you can get half of the annual tribute this year, but you will need to make up for it next year.
Your Majesty, my dear sir, what do you think?
Emperor Yongxing breathed silently and said with a smile:
In terms of the details, the Honglu Temple and the Envoy Ji were handed over to consultation.
The so-called detailed rules are to continue bargaining and arguing.
When discussing matters in front of the palace, only discussing one general topic, not discussing the details.
Xu Yuanshuang listened silently and almost understood Ji Yuan's routine. Last night, Ji Yuan and Ge Wenxuan sent a message, discussing and analyzing the hearts of Emperor Dafeng and the Dukes in advance, as well as their approximate ability to bear it.
The conclusion is that the limit is between 200,000 and 250,000 taels of silver (silver is counted separately).
On the way out, Xu Yuanshuang was still thinking that this first condition might be a fierce battle, but with Brother Jiu's eloquence, there must be no big problem.
Now I realize that I still underestimated Ji Yuan.
Why did his estimates so accurately... Xu Yuanshuang felt aroused, and guessed that it was related to the fact that she was putting on airs outside the capital yesterday.

Too much bullying!
Prince Gan, who was wearing regular clothes, and Emperor Jing of Yuan, stepped forward, glared at Ji Yuan, and shouted:

Immediately, several kings and princes came out and followed suit.

Ji Yuan bit the second condition and refused to give up. At first glance, he was trying to lose his foundation, but in fact he was sure that Emperor Yongxing would agree.
Compared with actual interests, life and death, the reputation of the clan must be leaned back.
This matter is more of a dispute between the two royal families of the Dafeng royal family, which does not affect the core interests, and the opposition from the officials is not high.
Then, no matter how many royal relatives shouted, they were just incompetent and furious.
Emperor Yongxing stared at Ji Yuan for a moment, and said word by word:
OK, I agree!
As soon as these words came out, the royal family in the hall changed their faces and shouted:
His Majesty...
Emperor Yongxing raised his hand and forced the princes and princes to retreat with his sharp eyes:
My idea has been made!
Including King Yu, the royal family looked at Emperor Yongxing with disappointment.
Emperor Yongxing turned to Ji Yuan and asked:
What is the third condition?
Ji Yuan stretched out his palm, spread his five fingers and said loudly:
To cede the land, Dafeng wants to cede Yongzhou, Yuzhou and Zhangzhou to us.
In the Golden Palace, there was a moment of silence, and then a noisy discussion arose the next moment.
Although the Dukes and the Yongxing Emperor Capital guessed in advance that Yunzhou might speak out loud and demand compensation and cede land, they really didn't expect that their appetite would be so big.
After fighting for so long, Dafeng lost a Qingzhou.
Then I want to take away the land of the Three States through peace talks without bloodshed?
The chief minister Qian Qingshu came out of the list, his eyes swept over Ji Yuan and others with cold eyes, and said:
Although Qingzhou is lost, Dafeng still has eleven continents, with many soldiers and wide generals. I really think I am afraid that you are a small place in Yunzhou?
Your Majesty is willing to negotiate peace with you, but he is also unable to bear the people's poisoning again, and he is not afraid of your Yunzhou.
Ji Yuan laughed and said:
If you remember correctly, before the autumn harvest, Wei Yuan led 100,000 elite troops to attack the Witch God Sect, and almost wiped out the entire army. This is one of them.
After the beginning of winter, the court once again assembled 90,000 troops and fought with our Yunzhou soldiers in Qingzhou, with more than half of them losing. This is the second one.
The troops in the three northwest prefectures should be used to resist the harassment of the Western Regions coalition forces, and no troops should be dispatched to rescue the war in the south. This is the third one.
There are many soldiers and generals, and there are many soldiers and generals. How dare you ask Qian Shoujiao, if the court still has troops to fight with our Yunzhou?
Every time Ji Yuan said something, the faces of the men in the hall looked a little ugly.
They would not admit it verbally, but they knew in their hearts that every sentence Ji Yuan said was true and every sentence hit the point.
The war in Leizhou in the west was not serious. The coalition forces of the Western Regions mainly harassment, with small wars constantly, and large wars not occur. After all, Buddhism is restrained by the demon clan in the southern border.
But in case of precautions, it is indeed impossible to deploy troops on a large scale.
Qian Qingshu was speechless for a moment, and he naturally disdained to make excuses and snorted coldly.
Seeing that the prime minister was angry and silent, the officials looked at each other and wondered how to refute.
At this time, the Minister of Revenue came out and said slowly:
If you remember correctly, in the 30th year of Yuanjing, Yunzhou recorded 830,000 registered households. How dare you ask the envoy Ji, would Yunzhou raise one army with ten households or twenty households raise one army?How to get a hundred thousand iron cavalry?
How many elites in Yunzhou can be considered a reason.A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how weak Dafeng is, it is no problem to fight the elite of your Yunzhou.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is the most sensitive to data such as money, grain, household registration, and population.
The left censor Liu Hong immediately stepped out of the line and echoed:
The final outcome is just a loss-making loss, and don’t forget that the Witch God Sect is eyeing you, and the allies of Buddhism are not really heart-wrenching towards you Yunzhou.
He just tried to continue to state the situation and convince the young man from Yunzhou.
He was interrupted by laughter, Ji Yuan laughed and said:
Lord Liu, these words are enough to fool a three-year-old child. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to play with your lips and tongues in front of me and change your concepts?
He looked at the Minister of Revenue:
This adult is right, but so what?Now Qingzhou is under our control, and all refugees can be used as soldiers. If you want to fight for the elite of Yunzhou, you are here to try it.
In addition, the supervisor has been killed in Qingzhou by our national teacher. Without this guardian saint, how can you be confident to say that you can fight all the elites in Yunzhou?
Finally, this topic is inevitably mentioned.
It was precisely because of the loss of supervision that Emperor Yongxing and his two kings were scared out of fear. A while ago, they didn't dare to sleep at night, for fear that the terrible group of extraordinary people would enter the capital, enter the palace, and take away their heads from their dreams.
After hearing this, Shangshu Sun of the Ministry of Justice retorted:
Although the supervisor died, Dafeng is not without extraordinary powers, including Sun Xuanji of Sitianjian, Luo Yuheng, national teacher Zhao Shou, director of Yunlu Academy, and... Xu Qi'an!
That’s right, we still have Xu Yinluo.It seemed like I was cheering myself up again, and someone echoed.
Ji Yuan smiled without saying a word, and a robe official behind him sneered:
Even the supervisor died at the hands of our national teacher. Xu Qi'an is worthy of competing with him?It seems that the Ninth Prince was too humble, which made you think that my Yunzhou was afraid of Dafeng.
If you want to negotiate peace, you agree to our conditions.If you don’t want to negotiate peace, naturally, the strong men from Yunzhou will come to the capital and destroy you first.Then the Yunzhou army came to the city and entered the Central Plains.
Are there any other options?
The picture shows the truth. Tearing apart is a necessary process in negotiations. The powerful party holds the bargaining chips in his hand, which is used to put pressure on it.
Cutting the land is necessary, and the more you cut, the less you cut, the details of negotiation.
Ji Yuan gently shook the silver bone fan and said lightly:
Your Majesty and the Dukes may not know the details of the day when the jianzheng died. Then again, the jianzheng is extremely powerful. If the national master had not invited the legendary divine beast White Emperor in Yunzhou and the Dao Master Hei Lian, the Dao leader of the Earth Sect, to kill the jianzheng, it would be as hard as heaven.
He slowly told the process of the powerful men siegeing and killing the supervisor on that day. Of course, it was all Hu, but this was not important. What was important was that through the so-called process, Emperor Yongxing and the Dukes understood how terrible the extraordinary strong men behind Yunzhou were.
The royal family, civil servants and military generals in the hall all looked extremely ugly, either gloomy, clenched their fists, or helpless and depressed.
humiliation!
Emperor Yongxing couldn't help pinching his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:
The land of the three continents is absolutely impossible. I will discuss this matter later. What is the fourth condition?
It means that if you agree to cede the land, you still have to discuss the quantity.
Ji Yuan raised his lips and his goal had been achieved. As of now, the negotiations went smoothly without much twists and turns.
Don't worry, Your Majesty, this fourth condition is nothing, it's just a big deal.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxing's face calmed down slightly and said:
But it doesn't matter.
Ji Yuan closed the silver bone fan:
This official wants to ask Your Majesty for the supervisor's weapon refining letter.
Compared with the first three conditions, this is indeed a big deal. Although the weapon refining letters of first-grade warlocks must be extremely precious, items with too high levels are actually not of personal interests.
……
A complete defeat!
The first confrontation between the imperial court and the Yunzhou delegation was defeated.
This peace talk is inequality itself. It is inevitable that Dafeng wants to seek peace and he will endure the pain of cutting his wounds. However, the feeling of powerlessness shown by the Duke and Emperor Yongxing during the process still made many middle and low-level Beijing officials feel disappointed and disappointed.
And those four conditions, in the eyes of some scholars, are simply disgraceful of power and humiliating the country.
Ceding land to seek peace, a great shame and humiliation!
The first thing that started was the Hanlin Academy. These scholars who had no real power at hand, but were the most noble scholars in the court gathered in the Meridian Gate and cursed.
The tyrant monarch, the fall of Qingzhou alone will scare you.
Once a person dies, we scholars would rather die standing than live on kneeling.
Is the Yunzhou lineage orthodox?Then what is the royal family today? What are the loyalty of scholars like us? The foolish monarch who forgot his ancestors.
Then these people were pulled out to the court one by one, and beaten to death.
This indeed shocked some people, but it could not control the fermentation of rumors. Just after lunch, the students of the Imperial College stopped. The scholars were the most energetic, some wrote articles to mock him; some gathered crowds to criticize him; some hit the high priest's office and asked to hand him a blood letter to His Majesty...
What happened in the morning court was first spread in the officialdom of the capital and the upper class, and then slowly spread to the lower class people. By dusk, rumors spread in the market that the court ceded land and sought peace, and recognized the rebels as the orthodox Central Plains.
Yesterday, when I saw the man from Feizhou entering the city, I knew that the court had asked for peace.
Alas, it is best not to fight. The world is chaotic... But when I think about it, I always feel unwilling to accept it. Why did the court lose if it says it is defeated? When I sent troops to fight the Witch God Sect last year, it was so glorious.
I heard that even the supervisor was dead, but he was an old god in the Sitian supervisor.Alas, the weather is about to change.
Where is Xu Yinluo?Did Xu Yinluo watch the court cede land and seek peace?
Xu Yinluo also tried his best. A while ago, the court posted a notice saying that Xu Yinluo formed an alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the Gu clan. If we have no ally of Buddhism, we will have other allies.
Alas, who would have thought that Qingzhou would lose it if it was lost? Isn’t it hopeless? Xu Yinluo would always stand out if there was anything in the past.
……
Station.
Ji Yuan took out the magic weapon and supported a sound-insulating formation. After listening to his subordinate's report, he smiled:
It's quite lively outside. These nerds who don't know the world are just irrelevant little people. Our next goal is to test Xu Qi'an.
When Xu Yuanshuang heard that it was related to Xu Qi'an, she asked:
How to test it?
Ji Yuan turned the silver bone fan in his hand and said:
For example, when the negotiations were about to end, I suddenly added a condition to marry Dafeng, and the target must be one of the two princesses, Lin'an, Huaiqing.
Xu Qi'an and Lin'an had an engagement, which he found out from people sent by Concubine Chen.
Xu Yuanshuang frowned and said:
Are you looking for death?
If you really want to do this, it is the same as whether the peace talks can be achieved. Whether Xu Qi'an will leave the capital alive is another matter.
Ji Yuan laughed:
The two princesses and I are of the same clan, so marriage is naturally not our lineage, but Yuan Huai Ah.How do you think Xu Qi'an will react?Can he attack his own brother?
He will!Xu Yuanhuai's face suddenly changed, and he was forcing him to death.
Just kidding, look at you nervous.
Ji Yuan smiled like a bad taste, and suddenly sat upright and said:
Xu Qi'an has not shown up yet. We don't know what he has made behind his back.
Although the supervisor was sealed, it was supervisor Ah. Who knows what trump card would be left behind?The national master didn't know either, so he wanted to test Xu Qi'an and test Xu Qi'an through peace talks to understand the supervisor's backup plan.
Xu Yuanshuang's face improved slightly and she asked:
Brother Jiu thinks he will have any trump card?
Ji Yuan thought for a while and laughed:
Dead!
This is a dead end for Xu Qi'an.If it were him, I would always turn a blind eye to the peace talks, and then take advantage of the time the peace talks have won, begging grandpa and suing the extraordinary and powerful people as allies.
So Ah, our trip to the capital was a free reward and there would be no danger.
The folding fan in Ji Yuan's hand rotates:
Even if he has the ability to do things, he can only pinch his nose and recognize it.Ah, I really want to see his dead end, but now is not the time, and I have to wait for us to break through the capital.
……
Jingxiu Palace.
Mother, I heard from Huaiqing that once the land is cedeed and seek peace, Dafeng will be completely helpless.
Lin'an said worriedly, his oval face no longer became clear, and he was stained with a layer of haze.
Concubine Chen said anxiously:
There is no other way. If you don’t seek peace, should you continue to fight with Yunzhou?If you have a chance of winning, will Your Majesty and the guilds focus on peacemaking?
Now only peace talks are the way out, otherwise would you expect your fiancé?
Lin'an bit his lip and was about to cry:
Mother, why do you hate him so much?
A figure in white flashed through Concubine Chen's mind and gritted her teeth:
No one with the surname Xu was good.
She immediately softened her heart and held Lin'an's hand:
Huaiqing has been a slut since childhood and cannot believe her words.Lin'an, you don't understand. Now, no one can save the court except peace talks.
……
The palace.
Qian Qingshu, wearing a thick cloak, headed straight to Wang Zhenwen's bedroom.
When Wang Zhenwen saw him coming in, he waved his hand and took off the maid and asked directly:
What are the conditions?
Qian Qingshu recounted the four conditions in Yunzhou.
Reverse party!Reverse party!!
Wang Zhenwen cursed several times and suddenly started coughing violently.
Qian Qingshu sat beside the bed, gently stroked his back, helping him to calm his anger, and sighed:
Now that things have come to this point, Your Majesty has agreed, but it is impossible to cede the land of the three continents.Your Majesty’s bottom line is to cede Yuzhou.
I admit that Qianlong City is the orthodox lineage of the Central Plains, and I am very committed to the hearts of the people. I ask for money, squeeze out my wealth and financial resources, cede the three continents, and completely become a powerful force...
Wang Zhenwen murmured:
It's over, Huitian is powerless, Huitian is powerless.
Even if Wei Yuan is resurrected, he will not be able to play this game.
Qian Qingshu sighed:
But who can convince Your Majesty? Besides, peace talks are the only way to follow the trend.Now only Xu Qi'an can go against the trend.
But Brother Wang Ah, forcing Xu Qi'an to break up with the court, isn't it a conspiracy of the Yunzhou rebellion?He hasn't appeared yet, just understands this.
I have found out that he is in Sitianjian and sent someone to send a message. If he wants to come, he would have come long ago.
……
Sitianjian, large bedroom.
Xu Qi'an was soaked in a bathtub, leaning against the wall of the bucket, sitting in his arms that was nearly forty years old, and his body was softer than that of a girl.
She sat softly in Xu Qi'an's arms, her head resting on his shoulders, her face flushed, her eyes blurred, and she had no strength in her body.
What, when is it...
After finally having a break from the middle, Mu Nanzhi asked weakly.
Just after lunch.
Xu Qian pinched Mu Nanzhi's willow waist and refused to let her leave her arms for a moment, and was full of energy.
The beauty in her arms is plain white and soft, and her skin is like ivory, delicate and elastic.
Lunch has passed... Mu Nanzhi cursed in a crying voice:
Are you a livestock?I won't let me sleep all night, I won't double practice with you...
Compared with Xiaoyu, your combat power is really too weak... Xu Qi'an said:
The first dual cultivation is the best effect. My energy is still growing and I will stop until it reaches its limit.The energy in your body is also powerful. Nan Zhi Ah, do you know how many people are eager for this kind of practice with a surge in their cultivation.
At the edge of the bathtub, water stains were splashing everywhere, and the clothes and bellybands on the screen had already slipped to the ground, soaked by the overflowing bath water.
The spacious and sturdy bed was in a mess, the quilt fell to the ground, the sheets were wrinkled and messy, and the pillows were not on the head of the bed, but in the center of the bed.
Thanks to the depth of the flower god's essence, Xu Qi'an only took one night to stabilize his foundation.
In normal state, it takes about one tenth of the time after promotion to stabilize the state and adapt to strength.
At this time, he felt a familiar palpitation.
Waving to call out fragments of the earth book from the scattered clothes.
1: The Yunzhou mission has already met Yongxing, and Yunzhou has given four conditions.
Huaiqing sent detailed messages to the local book chat group for the speech at this morning's court meeting.
Finally, a brief review:
1: After defeat, Ji Yuan was an extremely powerful character. In addition, he was overwhelmed by his power, Yongxing and the Dukes had no bargaining chips to negotiate with him.
7: Crazy!
The Son commented.
After reading Huaiqing's retelling, Li Lingsu felt frustrated for Dafeng, let alone Li Miaozhen, who was jealous of evil.
2: If this waste emperor really ceded the land of the three continents, wouldn’t Xu Pingfeng be like a tiger and wouldn’t Yunzhou army be like a tiger?Dafeng still has a chance of winning?
Xu Ningyan, what should I do, whether to fight or what, you say something.
Xu Qian has rarely sent letters to speak recently, which seems extremely negative, which makes Fei Yin's female hero so anxious that she can't sleep or eat.
The other members of the Tiandihui Association were also anxious, and Dafeng slid step by step into the abyss but could not do anything.
3: Don’t worry, do your business with peace of mind, I will handle the peace talks.
After a brief explanation, he hugged the soft and weak Mu Nanzhi while chatting with the top princess.
3: Your Highness, are everything ready?
