After the first fool

Chapter 267 Argument in the courtroom
"Everyone loves you." Bai Mo raised his head high and signaled all the officials to stand up. Then, he looked at the envoys on both sides, with a faint smile on his resolute face, and said, "Today, During the peace talks between the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Xuanyuan and Lan Yu's auxiliary prince came in person, and I am quite happy in my heart."

"Your Majesty, Guxiang might need to speed up the time to discuss the peace talks." Xuanyuan Wushang said, his dark eyes lightly swept over the frost-faced Bai Qingluo on the opposite side, his thin lips slightly curled up, implying something.

Bai Mo frowned secretly: "Oh? What does Emperor Xuanyuan mean by this?"

"I heard that early this morning, King Qing had already ordered to start preparing for the wedding. If the Three Kingdoms peace talks delayed his wedding, wouldn't Gu be guilty of a serious crime?" Holding a knife, he satirized Bai Qingluo's double-mindedness, that he still cared about his own private affairs when the Three Kingdoms Peace Talks were so important.

There was a faint displeasure in Bai Mo's eyes, and he was very dissatisfied with Xuanyuan Wushang's behavior of pestering Bai Qingluo, but because of his identity, it was really hard to blame him, so he could only hold back.

"Uncle Huang, what's your explanation?" Bai Mo could only ask, after all he had heard about this matter, and it was proposed by Xuanyuan Wushang, even if it was for face, he should ask.

Bai Qingluo raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xuanyuan Wushang, "When will this king get married, what does it have to do with you? It's the early court, and it's time to discuss the peace talks of the Three Kingdoms, why are you talking about my private affairs?"

"Yes, yes, it shouldn't be announced in the morning when King Qing will hold his wedding." Some officials reconsidered loudly. They didn't have a good impression of Xuanyuan Wushang. Yao Ren, but what about him?I don't know how many evil ideas there are in secret, and I want to annex Dongyao all day long, and my heart can be punished.

Xuanyuan Wushang was unmoved by everyone's accusations, and narrowed his eyes with great interest, with an uninhibited smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Gu is meddling in other people's business, King Qing should not take it to heart."

"If this king takes everything to heart, how much will this heart hold?" Bai Qingluo sarcastically said, "Your Majesty, I have already listed out the compensation agreement between the two defeated countries. Please have a look."

"Sure." Bai Mo nodded lightly. Although the emperor was busy preparing for the wedding, he did not ignore the business.

Following Bai Qingluo's order, Sui Lang walked in from outside the hall holding a memorial in both hands, and handed it to Bai Mo, "Please review it, Your Majesty."

The memorial lists the terms of compensation for the defeat of Xuanyuan and Lanyu. The compensation is 500 million taels of gold. The situation of the three kingdoms.

Bai Mo took a closer look and found it feasible. He asked the eunuch to send the booklet to the envoys of the two countries, and waited for their reply. Now, Dongyao is a victorious country. With this capital, he can ask the two countries to cede land and pay compensation. This is strength !Back then, when the Three Kingdoms clashed, Dongyao had always been at a disadvantage, but now?Feng Shui took turns, and it was finally their turn to stand up and call the shots.

After reading the memorial, the assistant prince of Lanyu Kingdom has no objection to ceding the land, but 500 million taels of gold?He frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, is five million taels too much? Why don't we exchange gold for silver? Apart from that, our country has no other objections."

"Switching gold into silver? Wouldn't that be a total loss of more than 100 million?" Some ministers were whispering, talking about the feasibility of this matter. To be honest, because the war suddenly broke out, Dongyao Kingdom's treasury was empty, and this money was needed. Replenish the treasury.

"Where is Emperor Xuanyuan?" Bai Mo did not reply to Lan Yuguo's request immediately, but instead looked at Xuanyuan Wushang, waiting for his opinion. However, he himself agreed to Bai Qingluo to cede the five cities, in black and white Xuanyuan Wushang had no way of objecting to the signed contract, so he could only make a fuss about it.

He smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling, he threw the booklet on the table, and said: "Gu also thinks that 500 million taels is too much, not to mention why I Xuanyuan ceded five cities, but he Lan Yu only Ceded three? Your Majesty, is this a bowl of water for you? Or do you think Xuanyuan is easier to bully than Lan Yu?"

Bai Mo frowned suddenly, and before he could make a sound, the envoy of Lanyu Kingdom was the first to quit: "Xuanyuan Wushang, if you hadn't sent a letter to my emperor privately, how could we join hands with you this time? You He is the real mastermind behind the scenes, what's more, Xuanyuan has always been rich in territory and has a huge territory, and I, Lan Yu, am a small country on the border, so naturally I can't compare to you, so why not cede the land to Xuanyuan?"

Bai Mo leaned lightly on the dragon chair, sitting and watching the two countries below quarreling with each other over land cession.

Facing Lan Yu's accusation, Xuanyuan Wushang smiled nonchalantly: "If Gu remembers correctly, this war seems to be because your country used Dongyao's people to test poison in secret, but Mo Xiaoran saw through it by accident. , and thus was captured by your country's general, so that the servant girl beside him died tragically, and King Qing led his troops to rescue, which caused the Three Kingdoms to fight. In the final analysis, who is the culprit?"

Bai Qingluo's face darkened slightly, his expression was extremely displeased, he rolled his eyes with the waves, and looked outside the hall. He knew that Qingfeng, who was responsible for protecting Xuanyuan's safety, was just outside the hall.

Listening to the evil voice coming from inside, Qingfeng felt a sharp pain in his chest, like thousands of ants gnawing.

Xiaozhu...

Closing his eyes, he seemed to see that Xiaozhu was naked and silent, his five fingers were slightly clenched, and there were a few bloodstains on the palm of his hand, but he didn't seem to feel it either.

What is this slight pain compared to the pain in my heart?Xiaozhu, this name is what Qingfeng has been desperately trying to forget. He dare not think about it, he is afraid, unwilling, afraid, to think of that last memory, but now, the wound that has just scabbed has been brutally tortured again. Uncovered, heart throbbing.

"You!" The envoy of Lan Yu Kingdom was speechless by Xuanyuan Wushang's words. After all, Lan Yu was at fault for this battle, but could Xuanyuan be right? "All in all, I, Lan Yu, can come up with 500 million taels of gold, but three cities is already the limit."

Xuanyuan Wushang raised his brows, "Since this is the case, then Gu only admits to take out three cities. As for silver taels, 500 million taels of gold, Gu also admits."

Why does Xuanyuan have two more cities than Lan Yu?It's not fair at all.

Bai Mo's cheeks darkened, and he reminded in a deep voice: "The five cities of Xuanyuan were promised by Emperor Xuanyuan himself. Do you want to go back on your word at this moment?"

"No," Xuanyuan Wushang shook his head, "If Lan Yu also admits to ceding the five cities, he will be alone, and immediately agree to all the above conditions, but now, people who seem to have no sincerity are not lonely." He said Looking at the blue feather envoy opposite him with leisure, the demons danced wildly with laughter.

"Xuanyuan won't pay a penny more than Lan Yu. Naturally, it won't pay less. It all depends on what Lan Yu wants." Things, fighting each other, it is best to tear the face, then he will be able to reverse the entire unfavorable situation.

How could Bai Mo and Bai Qingluo not be clear about his little calculations? Immediately, the two looked at each other from the air, and their eyes fell on the envoy of Lanyu Kingdom.

Bai Mo spoke first: "I don't know what the prince is thinking now?"

Now Lan Yu's envoys were forced to the point of no return by Xuanyuan Wushang, he made it clear that he would follow Lan Yu, and he would give as much as Lan Yu gave, wouldn't this be a problem for him?The envoy had one head and two big heads, and he only felt throbbing pain in his temples.

Seeing his hesitation, Xuanyuan Wushang chuckled lightly, and suggested: "I wonder if the prince is undecided?"

Yes, he should indeed discuss such a big matter with the monarch. The envoy's eyes lit up, he raised his head with a swipe, looked fixedly at Bai Mo, and clasped his fists and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Dongyao Kingdom, this matter is in fact a matter of course." The king must first ask my emperor before he can give an answer."

Bai Mo was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly had an illusion, it seemed that Xuanyuan Wushang made such a big commotion just to let Lan Yu delay the time, but what was the reason?Bai Mo thought about it carefully, and finally made a thought. Could it be to stop the royal uncle and Mo Xiaoran from getting married?

The more he thought about it, the more Bai Mo felt that this idea might be right!He looked down carefully at Xuanyuan Wushang who smiled more than Huajiao, his sharp eyes seemed to see through him.

It wasn't just Bai Mo who thought this way, even Bai Qingluo had a vague feeling that Xuanyuan Wushang was deliberately delaying time.

"My lord," Bai Qingluo said indifferently, looking at the envoy of Lanyu Kingdom, "How many days do you need?"

The envoy thought for a while, "Up to three days."

"One day," how could Bai Qingluo wait for three days?He originally planned to get married immediately after retiring from the court, but now, the peace talks are at a stalemate. It is impossible to withdraw the conditions proposed by Dongyao Kingdom. Clenched into a ball on his knees, Bai Qingluo's face became gloomy again, "After a day, if the two of you still can't give an answer, then you don't have to think about the fate bestowed by Lan Tian. Not only that, my king Just put the words here today, one day later, if the peace talks cannot be successful, Dongyao cavalry will break through the border between the two countries on that day! This king will do what he said."

After all, Bai Qingluo stood up with an extremely angry expression on his face. His wedding was interrupted for the second time, and Bai Qingluo was lucky to kill Xuanyuan Wushang without any impulse.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at King Qing, who left behind such strong words and led the hidden guard away, and couldn't recover for a while.

Is what Qing Wang said true or false?One day later, if Lan Yu can't give an answer, is he really going to send his troops to conquer the two countries?

Bai Mo was also taken aback, he never thought that Bai Qingluo would say such words in a hurry.

The envoy of the Blue Feather Kingdom wanted to die. If he could not persuade the emperor and cede the five cities, not only the crown prince would die, but the three kingdoms would also continue to confront each other!this……

With a mournful face, he looked up at Bai Mo pleadingly, hoping that he could make decisions for himself.

"The words of the emperor's uncle are what I mean." Bai Mo immediately expressed his opinion. Since the emperor's uncle dared to speak, he must be [-]% sure. Let's go, the envoys of the two countries, let's go back to the palace by ourselves."

After finishing speaking, he turned around on his own, leaving only the pair of astonished and surprised complex eyes behind him.

Couldn't come back to God for a long time.
