The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 173 Negotiation Conditions
For these ministers who were about to discuss the terms of the peace, the Ghost King had solidly presented them with a difficult problem.On the list that the ghost king gave them, in addition to requiring the Three Kingdoms to hand over a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass, various strange conditions were added.

Chi Yan's condition added that the eldest prince should come to Moyun as a hostage for three years. This was done by only two princes of Moyun before, and there is no such precedent in other countries.It can be said that this is an insult to the Chiyan Kingdom, and it would be a ghost if the Chiyan Lord would agree.However, thinking of the arrogant expression on the eldest prince's face when he left, many people still wanted to see how unlucky this prince was.

Ruifeng's condition added that he would exchange the border city of Kuncheng for the captured third prince.Many people think that such a condition is too harsh. The dispute between several countries starts with the dispute over land. Which country will easily cede land and pay compensation. After all, Mo Yun has not even made a step forward in Kuncheng. It's still possible, but right now, ask for it directly. . .I heard that there are more than a dozen princes in Ruifeng Kingdom, if the ruler of Ruifeng wants to choose between the third prince and an important border city, the result can be imagined.

Of course, this question was also raised by the minister on the spot, and Yun Yuhong asked lightly: "If you want to say that the requirement to cede the territory of the border town is not the first thing I put forward, it was the envoys of the Three Kingdoms who said it first, and I did it first." I remembered this incident. Didn’t you all want to negotiate a peace at that time? How can you say that Mo Yun would abandon the border town before he was defeated, and Ruifeng refused to agree for a prince? What’s the reason for this?”

None of the ministers dared to speak anymore. Yun Yuhong was waiting for them here. They really didn't think about it at the time. They just wanted to pressure the emperor to agree to the peace talks. They really didn't think carefully, and they were caught by the ghost king today. The reason is that they deserve it.

Zeyu's conditions were even more unacceptable. Yunyuhong asked for twice as much gold, silver and food as the other two countries.Originally, the three countries formed an alliance. Although they proposed to negotiate peace one after another, the envoys came together, and the peace negotiations were also discussed together. It is only fair that the requirements of each other are consistent or almost the same. Now we only need Zeyu to pay more, and Zeyu can agree. There are ghosts.

Just because these ministers have accepted the imperial decree, they can only talk according to the ghost king's request. They can be said to be in dire straits in the days to come.The envoys of the Three Kingdoms are not given for nothing. The first requirement of being an envoy to other countries is that they must be sneaky. They lost on the battlefield, but they cannot lose to Mo Yun in terms of verbal guns and swords, so this war without gunpowder smoke will be drawn. The prologue has begun.

Yun Yuhong was busy with the military affairs of all parties, and didn't care much about the peace talks, but she had a word first, and she would not be able to sign if her request was not met. These ministers had exhausted their authority in the end, and could only talk softly with the envoys, of course Well, the unique skill of "remonstrance with death" that they used to blackmail Qian Zong is useless now, and when it comes to actually doing business, they are really inferior to others.

It has been nearly a month since returning to Beijing, and Yun Yuhong has arranged all the military affairs properly, and finally remembered that he seemed to have heard nothing about the peace negotiation, so he mentioned it to Bai Ziyu at dinner, and Bai Ziyu smiled wryly: " I heard that they did not persuade others, but were persuaded by others. These officials are usually eloquent and have a good posture, but they really don't know anything about the national economy and people's livelihood.

Yun Yuhong frowned: "There is no way to continue like this. They are useless and occupy official positions, which is not good for the country and the people. I will take the opportunity to replace them. It's just that the continuation of the manpower... brought over from Yuxue last time How are people doing?"

Bai Ziyu sighed, "Jiang is still old and hot, but Yu Shangshu has crushed these people so hard that they can't get ahead."

"Why are they all so bad, it seems that none of them can be entrusted with important tasks." Yun Yuhong said angrily.

Bai Ziyu shook his head: "You can't say that. When we were selecting people, we were looking for people who were willing to put their minds on doing things. These schemes and tricks are not their forte. Besides, if they just come How can the sky take Yu Shangshu who has a foundation of more than [-] years, such people, you and I dare not use them."

Yun Yuhong thinks about it carefully, but this is also the reason, but now that Mr. Ning, Mr. Liu and others are no longer by her side, this also makes her feel that there is a shortage of talents, and she no longer has to worry about the military officers who protect the family and the country, but this She still lacks civil servants to govern the world.

Bai Ziyu saw Yun Yuhong's troubles, patted her hand and comforted her, "Leave me to deal with the official matters, so you don't need to worry, it's important to think about how the Golden Palace will deal with the envoys of the Three Kingdoms tomorrow. "

Yun Yuhong smiled slyly, "Yulang, since I arranged the peace negotiation, I can also finish it naturally. If I, Yun Yuhong, don't peel off their skins, I will write my name upside down."

In fact, compared to Yun Yuhong's anxiety, several ministers were more anxious. They consulted Zhou Dashi and Yu Shangshu overnight, and they both agreed with each other, admitted their mistakes, and kicked the matter to the Ghost King to solve it.The ghost king can't sign such a clause, so the ghost king will make a big joke.Even if she had the ability to achieve it, they would try to keep them.

On the second day, there was indeed another disturbance in the court over the matter of reconciliation with the envoys.Several ministers reported the results, and they focused on expressing their guilt. They failed to complete the tasks assigned by the Holy One because they were incompetent, especially compared with the King of Ghosts. , Please ask the Holy One to send another capable person. Of course, judging from what they said, the ghost king deliberately made things difficult for them. Even the ghost king may not be able to do it himself.

Yun Yuhong ignored them, but directly said to Chi Yan's envoy: "Chi Yan thinks which of the conditions I offered is unreasonable, please tell me, sir."

Chi Yan envoy said: "Returning to the ghost king, our country can agree to gold, silver, grain and grass, but the matter of the eldest prince as a hostage must absolutely not be done. This will damage our country's face."

Yun Yuhong nodded: "It's fine if the eldest prince doesn't come, so let's keep the [-] Chiyan soldiers captured by us. This way Chi Yan's face will look much better." In order to protect the prince and the [-] soldiers, Chi Yan What is not lost is the morale of the people and the morale of the army.

The envoy Chi Yan was in a daze at the time, saying that he couldn't say that. If he really did this, he wouldn't have to live after returning.But the ghost king is obviously threatening, in a word, if you don't follow my routine, I will only make you pay more attention, and the loss will be even greater.

Yun Yuhong turned her head and asked Ruifeng's envoy, "What is your Ruifeng for?"

Ruifeng's envoy said: "There is no problem with our country's money and food, but the matter of ceding the city is absolutely unacceptable. Kuncheng is of great significance to Ruifeng. Losing Kuncheng is tantamount to losing our family."

Yun Yuhong nodded, "Well then, I'll exchange Chi Yan's conditions with you. I don't want your city, and I'll invite your country's third prince, Mo Yun, to play for three years. He also happens to be in my army. "Duanmu Tiancheng is still in my hands now, it doesn't matter if I don't let him go, you sign it or not.

Both Ruifeng and Chiyan envoys were dumbfounded. Is this a child's play, and can they be exchanged at will?They can't accept the ghost king's threat.

Yun Yuhong seemed to see the question in their eyes, smiled and said: "Well, three conditions, proton, city, double the money and food, give you a chance to choose for yourself, everyone must choose the same, and you can't repeat it , you decide. In the past two days, I have deployed the army again. If you don’t want to negotiate a peace, it’s not impossible for us to continue fighting. Everyone is ready and ready.”

What is this, this is a threat, this is a naked threat.The envoys of the Three Kingdoms scolded Yun Yuhong in their hearts, this is not a princess and prince of a country, this is a rascal.

Several people made small calculations in their hearts, and they all felt that the conditions offered to their own country were not so unacceptable.They quickly gave up on the matter of reasoning with the ghost king. The ghost king is obviously an unreasonable person. She only talks about fists, and the chips in her hand make them bow their heads.

Chi Yan's envoy was the first to shout, "Actually, the monarch of our country thinks it's okay to send the eldest prince to Moyun as a guest, but I just need to trouble the emperor and the ghost king to take care of him."

Yun Yuhong took out two documents from his bosom, and said to Chi Yan's envoy: "Then please sign these two papers, my lord. The arrival of Qian Liang and the eldest prince is when the hundred thousand soldiers return home." .”

The envoy Chi Yan read it, and after a little thought, he signed it.He secretly said in his heart: Fortunately, this condition has been known in advance, and the monarch has already prepared for the worst, and this time he will not be told when he goes back.Of course, in his heart, he felt a little pity for the eldest prince. Being arrested twice made him lose face in front of his father, and his son who was originally valued has become a disgrace to the country and the royal family.Lord Chiyan has already given up on the eldest prince. Of course, how can a useless prince compare to a [-] army, and because of the [-] army, the emperor has a good reputation of loving the people like a son.

Chi Yan bowed his head so quickly that the other two envoys were so angry that they wanted to bite him to death. The three kingdoms agreed to stick together and hoped that things would turn around. Why did he succumb after a few words from the ghost king? land.

The two envoys glanced at each other, and the envoy Ruifeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, King of Ghosts, I, Ruifeng, would like to pay double the money and food, and please avoid the matter of the hostage and the land." Compared with sending the prince as a pledge and ceding the city, It's much easier to send money and food, and you can get it back if you increase the tax a little bit after you go back.But he didn't agree to additional conditions, he just increased the money and food, and he should be able to pay the difference when he goes back.

In the end, only Zeyu's envoy was left alone. What's the situation? These two are definitely allies, aren't they bad friends?How could Ruifeng snatch the conditions originally offered to him? Sending him to the city is not a trivial matter, and it is even more impossible. Is it too late for him to agree now?
