Chapter 87 Negotiation
The spies from Jiangcheng came to report: the emperor of Jiang wanted to take back the jade seal, and was going to send an army of [-] to attack Youzhou City.

The imperial concubine immediately summoned the ministers to discuss how to fight against the [-] army of the Xinjiang Emperor. When the ministers heard about the [-] army, their faces turned pale and their whole bodies trembled.You must know that Youzhou City has a maximum strength of [-] troops, and [-] of the [-] troops are old, weak and disabled. Think about it, how can only [-] soldiers fight against a [-] army?
Some timid and timid ministers actually saw their opinions and returned the jade seal to the Emperor of Xinjiang.

Nan Guozhen couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "The jade seal is the national treasure of our southern country, how can we return it, besides, the jade seal was guarded by Prime Minister Jiang with the lives of the whole family, and now it is going to be given to Emperor Jiang How can an old thief stand up to these dead loyal ministers and righteous men. I, Nan Guozhen, will protect Yuxi to the death."

"The little prince said it lightly. We only have [-] troops, how can we fight against the [-] army of the Emperor of Xinjiang. Once the army arrives in Youzhou City, the whole city will be wiped out." The timid and fearful representative of the opposition, Mr. Shi, replied.

Liu Taiwei sneered at Lord Shi's cowardice, and said: "Master Shi, don't spoil your own prestige with other people's aspirations here. Before that, you also advised Lord Hou to negotiate a peace. Don't resist. At that time, Lord Hou only used [-] soldiers to fight against the Emperor of Xinjiang. With [-] soldiers, the Marquis has not won yet."

"That's because the Marquis is brave and good at fighting, so he can fight against the Emperor's [-] soldiers with [-] soldiers. The question is, who will lead the troops now that the Marquis is gone?" Master Shi counterattacked, not to be outdone.

"I, I will be the pioneer!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure flew down from the hanging beam, and everyone fixed their eyes, it turned out to be the young master of General Yuwen's mansion—Yu Wenyan.Although he is only ten years old and has infinite strength, even ten adults can't match him, and his lightness kungfu is so good that the high hanging beam 'swish' flew up.

It is really rare for Yu Wenyan to have good martial arts at such a young age. The imperial concubine appointed him a general guard to protect the safety of Youzhou Prefecture.In recent years, Youzhou Mansion has not been so peaceful. Assassins sneaked into the mansion to assassinate, and Youzhou Hou was unfortunately assassinated.The spies of Emperor Jiang sneaked into the mansion and poisoned, and Mrs. Hou was poisoned and died, causing panic in Youzhou mansion.

After Yu Wenyan was named a general guard, Youzhou Mansion returned to Taiping.He set up a strict guard post, and he often hid in dark places, such as on high hanging beams, black roof tiles, door cracks or corners of cabinets where no one noticed, and intercepted and killed assassins who came into the house.

Master Shi saw that it was Yu Wenyan, the young master of General Yuwen's mansion, and said with a contemptuous smile, "You? You're just a child, and you've been frightened to the point of shit before you've even beaten him."

Yu Wenyan was so angry at Mr. Shi's words, he yelled like a little wolf, pointed at Mr. Shi and cursed: "You old bastard, you know how to negotiate peace all day long, so you're so frightened that the shit out of you?"

The minister of justice who supported the Anti-Japanese War to the end took the opportunity to laugh at Mr. Shi, who was as courageous as a mouse but pretended to be fearless. Shi Da was instantly ashamed and flung his sleeves back to his stand.

The imperial concubine, who had been silent all this time, said: "Okay! Don't laugh, gentlemen. The most urgent thing is how to fight against the [-] army of the Emperor of Xinjiang."

At this time, Jiang Shangshu stood up and said: "I believe that a country cannot be without a king for a day. The most urgent thing at the moment is to let the little prince be the king, and if the jade seal is returned, you can call on the princes from all over the world to attack the elder Mu Wu (Jiang Huang). Recover the Great Southern Kingdom."

"No, the little prince is still young, isn't doing this the same as telling the people in the city that the Marquis is gone? Wouldn't that make the army's morale more unstable, and how can we resist the Emperor's [-] troops?" Liu Taiwei stood up and objected. .

"It is a fact that Lord Hou has passed away. There is no impenetrable wall. The news of Master Hou's death is leaked out, but it is still panic. It is better to announce it with great fanfare. Emperor Jiang is suspicious by nature, which makes him dare not attack the city decisively." And why did the Emperor Jiang insist on getting the jade seal from the southern kingdom? Doesn’t he also have the imperial seal? Yiweichen guessed that the tribes and princes were dissatisfied with the emperor’s statistics, so the emperor wanted to take back the imperial seal from the southern kingdom For the jade seal of its border country, I want to change the 'Jiangguo' back to 'South Country'." Jiang Shangshubo said.

The imperial concubine also felt that Jiang Shangshu's words were reasonable, so she couldn't help but nodded.

Taiwei Liu here strongly disagreed. "Uh, this is all Lord Shangshu's guess, how can Lord Shangshu make such a guess based on the lives of the people in Youzhou?"

"If Liu Taiwei has a good way to say it, Jiang Shangshu should learn from it."

Liu Taiwei was stunned by Jiang Shangshu's question, and he couldn't do anything for a while.

Shi Da looked at Liu Taiwei and Jiang Shangshu expressing their views, but finally did not argue for a conclusion.He also stretched out one foot and said: "My minister also disagrees with Jiang Shangshu's opinion. The little prince is still so young, how can he call on the princes from all over the world to fight against the emperor? In my opinion, peace negotiation is the best policy."

"Negotiating and negotiating, you are an old man who knows about negotiating peace. This general even suspects that you are the spy of the old Jianghuang thief?" Yu Wenyan angrily drew out his long sword and pointed at Mr. Shi and asked, causing Mr. Shi to curl up in a ball and kneel down. On the ground, he said in a trembling voice: "General Yan, you are swearing, the old minister is loyal to the king."

Lord Shi, Prime Minister Jiang, and Taiwei Liu were all important ministers of the southern monarch, and the elders in Muwu elected Concubine Meng Shu's son as emperor, and the three unanimously opposed it.When Concubine Meng Shu became the empress dowager, she would have to give birth to three people, Lord Shi, Prime Minister Jiang, and Taiwei Liu.Mr. Shi, who has a keen sense of smell, was the first to go to Youzhou City and join Youzhou Hou. Following Liu Taiwei, seeing that the situation was over, he also ran to Youzhou City and joined Youzhou Hou.In order to protect Yuxi, Prime Minister Jiang fled to Youzhou City without coming.

"Loyal? Every time Nanguo is in trouble, you run faster than a rabbit?" Nanguo Zhen said.

Ah... Nan Guozhen gritted his teeth in anger when he heard Mr. Shi say that he was still so young, and he couldn't help but slap Mr. Shi twice.The Empress Dowager who was sitting next to her was calm enough to persuade Nan Guozhen.

"The little prince's words really wronged my minister, and Liu Taiwei also ran away..." Liu Taiwei was dragged into the water by Mr. Shi, and stared back: "Mr. Shi, what do you mean by this? The old minister has a heart for the monarch. The humble minister defected to the Marquis because the Marquis is the successor..."

"Then me too? When I went up to the court, I also elected Lord Marquis to succeed the throne." Master Shi hurriedly replied.

"Okay! Okay! Your loyal family knows." The imperial concubine hurriedly persuaded Liu Taiwei and Mr. Shi to quarrel over these old matters.

After the imperial concubine finished speaking, Taiwei Liu and Mr. Shi each snorted coldly, ignoring each other.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine turned to face Master Shi and continued: "The Ai family knows that Master Shi is loyal, but the Ai family also thinks that Master Shi's opinion is really inappropriate. Master Shi may have forgotten that Concubine Meng Shu and her son are What a tragic death! Do you think that if you give the jade seal to the Emperor of Jiang and kneel down to be a vassal, the Emperor of Jiang will not attack Youzhou City and will let us go? Don’t think too easily about Shi Da, the Emperor of Jiang is a tyrant , he will not allow us to live, attacking Youzhou City in the name of recapturing Yuxi is the best proof."

Only then did Mr. Shi suddenly realize that he was on the ant boat, so there was no way out?
