Soon.
The Ministry of Rites of Great Wei sent someone to inform the amba*sadors.
When they heard that Xu Qingnian had chosen an inn as the venue for the talks, all the amba*sadors were somewhat furious.
Since ancient times, where have we ever had peace talks in an inn? How much do you despise us?
Some of them were furious and wanted to get angry, but when they saw the officials from the Ministry of Justice brought by the Ministry of Rites, they all dared not speak.
They couldn’t help it, they couldn’t beat Wei in the war, and now they were on other people’s turf, so even if they didn’t want to, what could they do?
So what?
That’s right.
The fact that the venue was arranged in an inn is a clear humiliation to you.
There was no nonsense, as the Ministry of Rites came down with the notice, basically without giving any face to the amba*sadors, they were herded to the inn like a duck.
The place of the inn was really a rather ordinary inn.
But at this moment, outside the inn, there were all the people of Great Wei.
When they heard that Xu Qingnian was going to negotiate at this inn, they were naturally excited and wanted to hear how Xu Qingnian was going to negotiate.
They were shocked that Xu Qingnian had put this kind of thing out in the open, which was a first for the world.
After all, since the emissaries of the hundred countries were coming here to negotiate, the common people naturally did not dare to come in for fear of causing any trouble.
When the innkeeper heard about this, he was so frightened that he would not have dared to accept the job if not for the persuasion of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment.
However, the innkeeper took the job, and the innkeeper’s second-in-command put the tables together and arranged them neatly.
The table was set up with some melon seeds and peanuts, but not the rest.
When this meaning was uttered, all the people outside laughed loudly, inexplicably with a sense of pride and pride.
“Here they come, here they come, the amba*sadors of the nations are here.”
“Look, you guys, it’s an emissary from the Kingdom of Chen.”
“There is also an emissary from the country of Siron.”
“The emissary from Qiha purpose has also come.”
As a voice rang out, the people began to boil as the emissaries from various countries came, their heads bowed in shame as they faced the shouts of the people of Kyoto.
They did not dare to look up.
And in fact a large part of the factor in the people gathering here was that they wanted to throw rotten eggs and rotten leaves, but unfortunately, the Ministry of Penalty had given an order not to allow the people to do so.
It was not so much that they were giving the messengers face, but that it affected the city’s appearance and the prestige of Great Wei.
Inside the inn, which was instantly packed, there were over four hundred amba*sadors from various countries combined. These were all the more famous va*sal states of Great Wei, some of which, I believe, were completely small tribes, perhaps one or two thousand people, and called themselves countries.
There was no need for such countries to come, just send a message back.
The main target was the four hundred va*sal states.
When the amba*sadors had arrived, the envoys from the Tusi Dynasty were the last to arrive.
Yelimu’s expression was calm, he wasn’t angry, while Yuta, the great general of the Tusi Dynasty, kept his face sombre.
They were the Prime Minister and the General of the Sudden Evil Dynasty, so even if they were to meet the Empress of Wei, they were still qualified to speak.
But what they didn’t expect was that Xu Qingnian would ask them to come to the inn for talks?
If Xu Qingnian had not set up an elegant room for them, Youta would never have come over.
But even if it was an elegant room, Yuta did not intend to come over at first, but was completely pulled in by Yelimu.
This incident was caused by them, although the main responsibility was not on them, but on the Emperor of Sudden Evil, but the problem was, they dared not say anything wrong about the Emperor.
They could only admit that they were unlucky.
Who made their own mouths drop?
So this trip over, its purpose was to settle things, not to make fearless arguments here.
The two of them walked inside the inn.
Although they were relatively low-key in the face of Great Wei, when they looked at the foreign nation inside the inn, the aura and gaze of the two men instantly changed drastically.
The eyes were filled with contempt and disdain.
Contempt from on high, and contempt from the heart.
These foreign nations, in their eyes, were not even considered to be mere ants.
If it were not for the First Yuan Dynasty, it would have been easy to destroy Wei.
Naturally, what are these foreign nations? They were just dogs.
“Prime Minister Yelu.”
“You have come too.”
Someone rose, an emissary from the Si Long Kingdom, and came to fawn over Yelu Mu, greeting him.
But in the face of the other person’s greeting, Yelu Mu’s gaze became even colder.
He didn’t know this person at all, what a mishmash.
Without looking back, the two went straight upstairs, to the elegant room. Staying with this group of people, the two only felt sick and uncomfortable.
Watching the departure of Yelimu and Yuta, the messenger of the Si Long Kingdom, was immediately embarra*sed, he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
And just then, finally the clamour rang out from outside.
“Lord Xu is here.”
“It’s Lord Xu who has come.”
“Get out of the way, get out of the way, Lord Xu is here.”
The crowd was so loud that for a moment, even the emissaries of the nations inside the inn could not help but look over.
Not far away.
Xu Qingnian slowly came, followed by Chen Zhengru, the Minister of Officials, Wang Xinzhi, the Minister of Rites, and Zhang Jing, the Minister of War, as well as Gu Yan, the Minister of Household, including the Duke of An and the Duke of Lu, while they were followed by hundreds of capital soldiers, all looking murderous.
Negotiating with soldiers?
In a flash, everyone knew what this meant, Xu Qingnian meant that everything was fine if we could negotiate, but if not, don’t leave.
“Lord Xu is powerful!”
“Lord Xu, punish these foreign countries properly.”
“Move aside, you guys, don’t block my Lord Xu’s way.”
When Xu Qingnian appeared, the people were incomparably excited, a voice rang out, some even blocked the road and were directly scolded back by various curses.
Now Xu Qingnian’s prestige in Great Wei was, to put it mildly, even higher than that of the emperor.
The situation made the noble princes only smile in embarra*sment, after all, standing beside Xu Qingnian was really a bit dull.
But it didn’t matter, Wei really needed a fresh blood.
Facing the people like this, Xu Qingnian arched his hand towards them and said.
“Everyone, later on this official will negotiate within, everyone should not make too much noise, lest people say that our Great Wei does not know how to be polite.”
Xu Qingnian said smilingly, asking the people to be quieter later and not to make too much noise.
When he said this, the people laughed and responded.
Soon, Xu Qingnian walked inside the inn, and the innkeeper personally came and bowed respectfully towards Xu Qingnian and the Shang Shu State Dukes.
“You are most welcome, innkeeper.”
“The silver spent on borrowing your shop will be paid out by the court later.”
“But remember, all the food and drink that these foreign amba*sadors come to eat, let them pay for it, this cannot be counted to the court.”
Xu Qingnian said seriously, once this was said, the people outside really could not help but laugh.
Xu Qingnian is indeed doing things in line with the people’s tastes, ah, is to be so calculating, this bunch of foreign fans, usually just too spoiled.
“Lord Xu don’t worry, I understand.”
The shopkeeper gave a sarcastic smile.
And Xu Qingnian glanced at the emissaries of the nations, and then looked at Chen Zhengru, Wang Xinzhi and the others.
“Gentlemen, let’s go up and talk to the amba*sadors of the sudden evil first.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and asked for the opinions of the crowd.
“Fine, it’s fine if you make the decision.”
“His Majesty has asked you to choose, we will listen to you.”
The crowd spoke up, His Majesty had decreed that Xu Qingnian should be in charge of this negotiation, they were only here to calm the scene, any choice would be made by Xu Qingnian.
After receiving the crowd’s reply, Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything and headed straight upstairs.
This negotiation must be with the big shots first, these small players, let’s put them aside first.
As he went upstairs, Xu Qingnian’s gaze was calm, Wang Xinzhi had already informed himself of the matter of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, so Xu Qingnian was sure of this negotiation.
The inn’s elegant room.
Yelu Mu and Youta were sitting quietly, Yelu Mu still looked calm, while Youta was sulking, looking extremely unhappy.
But at that moment, as the sound of Xu Qingnian and the others’ pace rang out, Yelu Mu suddenly came back to his senses, and he glanced at Youta, who also collected some of this displeasure, and then waited for Xu Qingnian.
Not long afterwards.
The door to the elegant room opened and Xu Qingnian was the first to walk in, while Duke An and Duke Lu entered in turn, followed by the four Shang Shu.
“Yelu Mu, meet Lord Xu, meet the two State Dukes, and also meet the Shang Shu.”
As the Prime Minister of Tusi, Yelu Mu could not be unaware of the identity of the other party, and with a smile on his face, he bowed towards the crowd, showing all his manners.
As for Yuta, he arched his hand and counted it as having met him.
“Mister Xu, I have met Prime Minister Yelu, and I have also met Grand General Youta.”
“Alas, there is really no other way, this is the condition of Great Wei, the treasury has no silver, so we can only arrange to meet in such a place, the two of you will not be angry, right?”
Xu Qingnian smiled and returned the gesture, while deliberately asking if the two would be angry.
When this was said, Yuta’s feelings became even more complicated, could you not be so direct in lying? Even if Wei was poor, it was not necessary to arrange a restaurant like this, right?
But he didn’t say anything more, he was here, so there was no need to argue over such matters.
As for Yelu Mu, on the contrary, he smiled and said.
“No, no, this is fine, at least it’s quiet.”
“All of you, take your seats quickly.”
“I’ll have someone serve some good wine and food.”
Yelu Mu said with a smile, entertaining Xu Qingnian and the others, those who didn’t know would think this was a sudden evil.
“Prime Minister Yelu, forget about the wine and food, after all, the treasury is going to be empty.”
Xu Qingnian said with an uncomfortable face.
But this expression was extremely irritating in Yuta’s eyes, but he still didn’t say anything.
“Hahaha, no harm, no harm, this time when I came over, His Majesty gave me some silver, I can still afford to pay for the food and drinks.”
Yelu Mu said with a smile, composed and not disgusted by Xu Qingnian.
“That’s fine, since that’s the case, then Mister Xu won’t be preachy.”
“Xiao Er, make a trip to the Peach Blossom Anchor, have their people, prepare the finest delicacies, regardless of the price, Prime Minister Yelu pay, bring the best, and say it’s Xu’s intention.”
Since the other party insisted on treating him, Xu Qingnian was not polite at all, and directly asked the junior to make a trip to the Peach Blossom Nunnery.
This operation immediately caused several Shang Shu and State Dukes to freeze.
The first thing you can do is to invite people to this kind of place for dinner, and then let them treat you, and you go directly to another restaurant to order food.
You’re still a tart or you’re Xu Qingnian’s tart.
Good tactics.
Chen Zhengru and the others naturally did not feel anything, they slowly sat down, anyway, this time they were just here to accompany, mainly to calm down the scene, the rest was all left to Xu Qingnian.
The rest was left to Xu Qingnian. In the face of Xu Qingnian’s tactics, Yelu Mu was still calm. Is 1,000 taels enough? Not enough for 3,000 taels?
No one would think that the Prime Minister could not afford to pay, right?
When he called Xu Qingnian and the others to sit down, Chancellor Yu Qi did not say anything.
He got straight to the point and said.
“Lord Xu, this is how it is, a few days ago, the Sudden Evil declared war on Great Wei, in fact, it was deceived by the State of Chen, and we did not investigate clearly, which is why it led to such a stalemate.”
“My Sovereign of the Sudden Evil has investigated the causes and consequences clearly, the matter is not the fault of Great Wei, and the Sudden Evil and Great Wei are considered good friends, His Majesty does not want the relationship between the two countries to be affected because of the provocations of petty people.”
“So, this declaration of war, can it end here?”
“Of course, as a sign of good faith, the sudden evil dynasty is willing to a*sist Great Wei and deter these curmudgeons, which is a way to return peace to Great Wei.”
Yelu Mu was straightforward, indeed without any hint of beating about the bush.
He was willing to make peace, and even offered terms to help Great Wei suppress these scourges.
When this was said, the four Shang Shu as well as the State Duke could not help but be pleased in their hearts. They did not care about the sudden evil dynasty sending troops to a*sist, what they really cared about was, the attitude of the sudden evil dynasty.
What they really cared about was the attitude of the Sudden Evil Dynasty. Originally, all these foreign nations were looking at the Sudden Evil Dynasty, expecting it to help them, but now that the Sudden Evil Dynasty has turned its back on them, these foreign nations will definitely hold a grudge against them.
For Great Wei, it is a good thing, and at the same time, with the Sudden Evil Dynasty taking a stand, then when the time comes, they can pinch them as much as they want.
It was good.
Everyone was satisfied with what was being said, but Xu Qingnian shook her head.
“No, no, no!”
“The matter of declaring war, how can it be changed just by saying so? Xu knows that the Great Wei Dynasty is indeed failing and dares to say this, and that Great Wei’s national strength is indeed inferior to that of the Sudden Evil.”
“But since I have declared war, there is no way I can just let it go, otherwise, wouldn’t the declaration of war by Great Wei become a joke?”
“The public opinion of Great Wei is cohesive to turn into a dragon, next time there will be no such morale.”
“Furthermore, the Sudden Evil Dynasty claims to have been provoked by villains, but I would like to ask, if next time, someone says something about my Wei, will the Sudden Evil Dynasty declare war again?”
Xu Qingnian spoke up, and the crowd froze at his words.
It was true that the sudden evil dynasty had gone too far in declaring war, but now that the other side had come over to make peace, plus being willing to help Great Wei suppress the foreign kingdom, this was already a great benefit to Great Wei.
However, it was unexpected that Xu Qingnian was still so aggressive. Looking at this situation, Xu Qingnian was not here to make peace with the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
This is to ask for favours from the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
It’s F**king.
Hiss!
The four Shang Shu and the two State Dukes were a bit alarmed.
Xu Qingnian was really a tiger.
This was something they hadn’t thought of at all.
“But you guys, of course, did slaughter the city.”
At this moment, Grand General Yuta spoke up, looking at Xu Qingnian and saying these words coldly.
Ever since he had arrived in Great Wei, he had been extremely upset, and now that he had been placed in this tavern to discuss such a big matter, he felt even more that Xu Qingnian was insulting him and humiliating him.
If it were not for His Majesty’s decree, he would definitely not be here to make peace with Xu Qingnian.
If the worst comes to the worst, we will fight, is the Sudden Evil really afraid of the Great Wei?
Boom!
The next moment, Xu Qingnian slapped the table and looked at Youta angrily.
“Then when the northern barbarians slaughtered my people in Great Wei, why didn’t you, the Turk’s Evil Dynasty, stand up for yourselves?”
“Why didn’t your Sudden Evil Dynasty accuse the barbarians? Why didn’t you declare war on the barbarians?”
“Farting around here?”
Xu Qingnian’s voice was loud and clear as he looked at Youta, his eyes cold and even revealing a killing intent.
When this was said, Youta was a bit speechless, but his eyes, however, became a bit icy.
In just an instant, the four Shang Shu as well as the two State Dukes also had gloomy faces at this moment, their gazes looking at You Ta icily.
“How dare you!”
Duke An roared out, like a lion roaring, and looked at Youta with murderous intent in his eyes.
D*mn it, how dare you be so arrogant in the territory of Great Wei? Whether Xu Qingnian was right or wrong, you, a F**king Grand General of the Sudden Evil, dare to show such a look in front of so many of us.
You want to die, don’t you?
Duke An rose straight away, his gaze oozing with murderous aura, giving the impression that he was about to strike out and kill this Youta the next moment.
The scene was instantly tense.
“Gentlemen, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.”
“Youta! Don’t apologise to Lord Xu yet.”
Yelu Mu first spoke out to round up the situation, then looked at Youta viciously and told him to apologise.
It wasn’t that he didn’t favour his own people.
Rather, this was Great Wei, someone else’s territory, so there was indeed no need to be so arrogant, and besides, who was the person facing him?
It was Xu Qingnian ah.
He had just been studying for a month, but he had disliked the great scholars, and he had just come to the capital, but he had made a scene at the Ministry of Justice, and then he had killed the county king.
It can be said that this person, Xu Qingnian, is a variable, you simply do not know what Xu Qingnian really thinks, if you think of Xu Qingnian with common sense, then you can wait for death.
He was really afraid that if Xu Qingnian got hot-headed and really cut the two of them down, what would happen if he turned around and declared war on Sudden Evil? Who would be the ones to suffer? It would not be the two of them.
In case Sudden Evil lost the war, or if the dynasty was stolen by the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, then the two of them would be even worse off, and they would probably be whipped by the Sudden Evil Emperor.
So, they had to endure.
Faced with Yelimu’s rebuke, Yuta became even more furious, but seeing Yelimu’s icy gaze, Yuta finally took a deep breath and suppressed all his anger, suppressing it.
“It was my fault, I hope Lord Xu will forgive me.”
Youta opened his mouth, and by saying these words, he was already making the biggest concession.
“Humph.”
Xu Qingnian snorted coldly, then nodded as he turned his gaze to Lord An Guo, who also slowly sat down and collected his killing intent.
And at that moment, Yelu Mu’s voice rang out.
“Then according to Lord Xu’s wishes, how can we make peace?”
Yelu Mu asked.
This issue needed to be resolved no matter what, it was just a matter of paying a price, and as long as the Sudden Evil Dynasty could accept it, everything was fine.
After all, it was a difficult situation for the dynasty.
How about a fight? It’s not that you can’t fight, but the Primordial Yuan Dynasty is watching you closely.
If you do, will they let you go, or will the Tusi Dynasty become the next Great Wei Dynasty?
So you can only refrain from fighting, but you can’t even say that you will offer any impossible conditions.
All countries have dignity, and if you go too far, the Tusi Dynasty will not agree.
If we are really desperate, we will fight, and the big deal is to drag the Chu Yuan Dynasty into the water, and no one will be able to get away with it.
This is the difficulty of the peace talks.
We must not take a big loss, but we must also make peace, and a decent one at that.
Yelimu felt a lot of pressure and only hoped that Xu Qingnian would not make any conditions.
When it came to this point, Xu Qingnian was not ambivalent.
He looked at Yelu Mu and slowly spoke.
“Three conditions.”
“First, the Sudden Evil Dynasty does not need to help Great Wei put down the scourge, but the Sudden Evil Dynasty must issue a decree to strongly condemn the matter and denounce the actions of the foreign kingdoms, and withdraw all trading in the foreign kingdoms, and not allow Sudden Evil Dynasty merchants to do business in the foreign kingdoms for a hundred years.”
“Of course I, the Great Wei, will also station troops at the border and not allow the foreign kingdoms to travel to the Sudden Evil Dynasty to do business, this is to protect the safety of the merchants of the Sudden Evil Dynasty, so that this kind of thing does not happen again, how about that?”
Xu Qingnian stated the first request.
When this was said, Yelu Mu immediately frowned a little, not only him, but also the Shang Shu and the two State Dukes were also a little curious, what kind of condition is this? What kind of condition is this? This is not necessary, after all, the merchants do not rely on foreign countries to earn money.
However, the Minister of Household Affairs, Gu Yan, had some understanding of what was going on, but was still a bit confused.
“This will do!”
Yelimu thought for a moment, and then directly agreed to it, this condition was indeed nothing.
Although it was true that there was some loss for some merchants of the Turkic Dynasty, but it was not a big problem. To be honest, the merchants who were in the foreign countries now were also crying out to come back, although silver was good, but life was more important ah.
This can be promised.
Hearing the other party’s promise, Xu Qingnian nodded at once.
This condition was not as simple as it seemed, he wanted to solve the problem of the rebellion in the major foreign countries once and for all.
As soon as the Sudden Evil merchants withdrew, Xu Qingnian immediately planted a large number of Great Wei merchants to control the food, drink and food of all the people in the foreign countries, so that if something like this happened again.
Before the fight, directly cut off food and water and resources, not even need to rely on the siege, directly besiege your city, see how long you can supply?
And if you dare to stockpile grain, these merchants will be able to detect it and report it to Wei immediately, and immediately send someone to investigate.
If you have any problems, you will be chopped off directly and see if you are still arrogant.
The first condition was agreed to by the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Xu Qingnian continued to state the second condition.
“Secondly, since this is a misunderstanding, the Great Wei Dynasty and the sudden evil dynasty continue to maintain goodwill, so I hope that the sudden evil dynasty, set up a court chamber of commerce, and friendship with our Great Wei, both sides trade with each other, and keep trading with each other for a long time, what preferential treatment benefits the sudden evil dynasty gives them, Great Wei also gives them what preferential treatment benefits, in this way, it is also considered friendly witness, Great Wei The people of Wei will not be too angry.”
“Otherwise, I dare not guarantee that the people will not be angry?”
Xu Qingnian stated the second condition.
Mutual trade and the establishment of a court chamber of commerce for each.
Once this was said, Yelu Mu’s eyes lit up, this was a good thing, although some of the state power of Great Wei had declined, but Great Wei was still Great Wei after all, merchants from each other came and went to do business with each other to promote economic development, this was something that Yelu Mu could not possibly not know.
So this is not a loss, but rather a good thing. It is indeed a good thing for everyone to be honest with each other and make money together.
Therefore, Yelu Mu agreed on the spot.
“This matter, can be!”
Yelimu said so.
But the face did not show too much happiness.
And Xu Qingnian also just nodded his head.
To open this mutual market trade, Xu Qingnian was considered to have dug a big hole for the Sudden Evil Dynasty, oh, and also the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, import and export economic trade, how big was the fishy inside, only Xu Qingnian knew.
The story of the tulips at a high price, Xu Qingnian remembers it very well.
This is a good thing for Great Wei, a great thing.
“Thirdly, this time, Great Wei pacified the rebellion, the casualties were as high as 210,000, to my Great Wei, this is an unbearable wound, so I hope that the Sudden Evil Dynasty, as an ally country, can a*sist Great Wei with some financial support in terms of silver, food and gra*s.”
“I wonder if I can do that?”
When it came to the third condition, Xu Qingnian was much simpler, this one didn’t dig a hole, he was actually looking for money from the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
But instead of compensation, it was a different word: financial support.
This is like a friend who has not been in touch for a long time, suddenly came to say, brother is there? I’ll lend you some money and pay you back, and when you’re in trouble in the future, I’ll help you, the same thing.
When this was said, Yelu Mu frowned and looked at Xu Qingnian and said.
“Lord Xu, how much do you need to fund? To tell you the truth, the treasury of the Sudden Evil Dynasty does not have much silver left.”
Yelu Mu said so, at this time, definitely have to pretend to be poor ah, do not pretend to be poor can not wait for others to rip off their ah.
“Don’t worry, no, 100,000,000 taels of silver and 10,000,000 quintals of grain and gra*s, it’s not too much, right?”
Xu Qingnian said with a smile.
Minister of Six Ministries: “…….”
Duke of State: “…….”
Yelu Mu: “…….”
Yuta: “……”
That’s not much?
D*mn you, this is already half a year’s income of the treasury of the sudden evil, 100,000,000 taels, plus 10,000,000 quintals of grain and gra*s, this is really a lion’s mouth.
Yelu Mu was a little depressed.
But he took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qingnian and said.
“Lord Xu, this amount is too large, I’m afraid I can’t agree to it.”
Although Yelu Mu’s tone was euphemistic, his eyes were very certain.
100,000,000 taels of silver, plus 10,000,000 taels of grain and straw?
Let’s wash our hands of it.
If they really gave that much, who in the Soviet dynasty would be willing to agree to it? They would even prefer to fight a war.
What does this matter to the Tusi dynasty? What’s it to do with the Sudden Evil? It’s a lot of money for the Hundred Kingdoms, isn’t it? Now it’s all going into your pockets and you’re asking us to take it?
Are you treating us, the Sudden Evil Dynasty, like a big shot?
Hearing this, Xu Qingnian frowned slightly, but he didn’t push too hard.
After just thinking about it, he continued.
“Let’s put it this way, the grain and gra*s transportation is a bit troublesome, and for the silver, if the Sudden Evil Dynasty really doesn’t have it, then 100,000,000 taels, we can write an IOU, and once we wait for the Great Wei Dynasty to develop, we guarantee to pay it back.”
“This country’s credit, you can’t possibly not believe it, can you?”
“Any less won’t do.”
Xu Qingnian said so.
Yelu Mu sighed, he wasn’t stupid, he still had the credit of the country, maybe the two countries would be at war that day, this silver would definitely go out without return.
There was no need for this, it was not disgusting.
“10,000,000 taels, right? Sudden Evil can’t get that much, Lord Xu.”
Yelu Mu wanted to continue bargaining.
And Xu Qingnian rose straight away and said, “Since your country is not willing to make peace, then I will not be the peacemaker, Prime Minister Yelu, I will retire, you have a good journey.”
Xu Qingnian got up.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was not much for the Tusi Dynasty, and Xu Qingnian did not believe that the Tusi Dynasty lacked this hundred thousand taels.
For the Tusi Dynasty, silver was not very useful anymore, after all, there were not many projects to invest in, unlike the Great Wei, where there was a shortage of money everywhere.
Therefore, this 100,000 taels should be the bottom line of the dynasty.
Xu Qingnian was very accurate: if it was more, the dynasty would definitely not agree, but if it was less, he would not agree.
Indeed, as Xu Qingnian rose, so did the rest of the Shang Shu and State Dukes.
At the sight of this stance, Yelu Mu was somewhat displeased.
“Lord Xu, why is this necessary?”
“100,000,000 taels, such a huge amount, on what basis does the sudden evil give it?”
“This time, it’s true that the Evil Empire didn’t check the situation and was a bit offended, but it doesn’t mean that the Evil Empire is really afraid of the Great Wei.”
“If we really want to fight, the evil empire is not afraid of war.”
At this moment, Yelu Mu was somewhat angered.
The previous two conditions were nothing, but the third condition, asking for 100,000 taels, was actually not bad.
But the question was, why should he give it? Why should it be given?
What right does Wei have to ask for 100,000,000 taels of silver?
Is it because Wei is not afraid of war? But he wasn’t afraid either, was he?
If he is forced to do so, he will be burned to the ground.
As the voice of Yelimu rang out.
Xu Qingnian didn’t think much about it, but took out a letter, which had four words written on it.
[Primordial Yuan Dynasty].
“Prime Minister Yelu, this letter is a secret letter sent to my Great Wei from the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.”
“With your wisdom, you should be able to guess, the content of this secret letter, right?”
“The sudden evil does not fear war, I know that, but Great Wei will not be humiliated, I believe Prime Minister Yelu also knows that.”
“This battle, why Xu slaughtered the city, is not only a battle for a foreign nation, but also a warning to the barbarians.”
“Great Wei, will never treat a friend poorly, but will never let an enemy go either.”
“Do you, understand?”
Xu Qingnian gripped the letter tightly, the meaning in his words was extremely clear.
Once the Great Wei Dynasty went to war, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty would definitely do their utmost to help Great Wei, because Great Wei was vulnerable, and when the two sides fought, without using first-grade martial artists, you, the Sudden Evil Dynasty, wanted to crush Great Wei?
Impossible.
And if you use a First Grade martial artist, you, too, will be ready to die.
All of this is because of who? Isn’t it because the two of you have cheap mouths? You had to declare war.
The one who is riding the tiger now is Tusi.
It is the Wei dynasty that is moving forward.
The one who is reaping the benefits is the Chu Yuan Dynasty.
You say I dare not fight?
The Dragon of Public Opinion has already appeared, and you still think I dare not fight? The Holy Order of the State is dead?
This moment.
Yelu Mu was silent.
He looked unusually quiet.
After a while, Yelu Mu took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.
“Lord Xu, 100,000,000 taels of silver, I have agreed to this on behalf of the Sudden Evil Dynasty.”
“But I also hope that the two countries will get along well with each other in the future and not start any more chaos, otherwise, when they really fight, it will only be the people who suffer.”
Yelu Mu said with a smile.
He agreed to do so, and the letter from the Primordial Yuan Dynasty had indeed crushed his confidence.
Xu Qingnian was right, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty must be helping Great Wei unconditionally, and in this case, Great Wei and the Tusi Dynasty would just lose both sides.
At that time, he and Youta would definitely die, because it was the two of them who were so cheap-mouthed that they had to initiate and ask the Emperor of Sudden Evil to declare war.
Once he was angry with himself, he would be out of luck.
So, 100,000,000 taels of silver was not much, and it bought his and Yuta’s lives.
This was indeed a good deal.
What can I do if I am not happy? He had to accept it.
When Xu Qingnian heard Yelu Mu’s words, he smiled and spoke.
“Prime Minister Yelu is wise.”
“In that case, then it is up to Prime Minister Yelu to discuss the details with my Great Wei Shang Shu, the Duke of State.”
“Mister Xu has to go down to attend to other matters, so for these two days Lord Yelu have a good time in Great Wei and buy whatever you like, things in Great Wei are good and inexpensive, as long as you abide by the laws of Great Wei.”
“Alright, farewell.”
Hearing the other party’s promise, Xu Qingnian nodded in satisfaction, he had nothing more to say and left the elegant room directly.
Right now, he still had to deal with this bunch of foreign nations downstairs.
There was no time to waste on such matters.
The rest of the matters here would be left to Chen Zhengru, Gu Yan and the others to handle.
Looking at Xu Qingnian who had left, everyone was a bit silent.
Whether it was Chen Zhengru or Gu Yan, or Yelumu or Yuta.
They were all shocked by what Xu Qingnian had done.
Chen Zhengru and the others had never imagined that Xu Qingnian would force Tui Xie to promise 100,000,000 taels of silver, although he said that he would help them, but silver was always depreciating in value.
It would not be a loss to give it back to them in fifty or a hundred years.
What’s more, in case there is a war one year, they will simply tear up the IOUs and give you back the money.
So this 100,000,000 taels of silver is purely for nothing.
Xu Qingnian, he is really fierce.
He was so fierce.
As for Yelu Mu, he was shocked that Xu Qingnian’s negotiation tactics were simply perfect, and he had a firm grip on their bottom line.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was indeed a bit much, but when combined with the secret letter from the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, it was a completely different story.
But Wang Xinzhi was the only one who knew that the secret letter was a fake, because ……. The first thing you need to do is to write a secret letter to the first Yuan Dynasty, and send someone to inform you.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
How about I step down? Let Xu Qingnian become the Minister of Rites?
Wang Xinzhi said secretly in his heart.
At the same time, Xu Qingnian had arrived downstairs.
Xu Qingnian had already arrived downstairs.
More than four hundred amba*sadors from foreign countries had been waiting for a little over half an hour.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
And when Xu Qingnian appeared, the crowd was finally relieved, and as for the people outside, they were all excited and thrilled.
“We have met Lord Xu.”
More than four hundred people rose in unison and bowed towards Xu Qingnian.
“Sit.”
Xu Qingnian was very straightforward, his face cold, and told the people to sit down.
At that moment, the four hundred people sat back down.
“There are some words, so I won’t be long-winded, let’s be direct.”
“First, the foreign countries that have participated in the impeachment of this official this time, within five days, the king of the country will issue an edict of guilt, go to Great Wei, bow three times to the empress, perform a great salute and beg for sins, and at the same time, abdicate, and have the Ministry of Officials send someone to review the royal son of his country as the new king.”
“Secondly, all the kings of the foreign kingdoms who are participating in this war will take their own lives to thank themselves for their sins, the civil and military officials will take their own lives to thank themselves for their sins, and those who withdraw in the middle of the war, including those who submit in the middle of the war, will not be subject to their sins.”
“Third, all foreign nations open their gates wide, and the number of their armies is reduced by seventy percent, so as to avoid any unrest in the future, but to protect the safety of the nations, the reduced number is filled by the Great Wei army.”
“Fourthly, all the foreign nations will establish the position of the Great Wei Heavenly Officials to a*sist them in dealing with national affairs, and to avoid civil unrest due to the lack of civil and military officials.”
“Fifth, each foreign nation will pay an annual tribute of thirty percent of its national treasury to the Great Wei Dynasty for all eternity.”
“Sixth, the merchants of Great Wei who travel to the foreign nations to do business must enjoy priority treatment.”
“Seventh, when the people of Great Wei go to the foreign countries, they must have security as well as preferential treatment in all aspects, and if any people of Great Wei encounter any problems in the foreign countries, the countries must deal with them at the first opportunity to solve them, otherwise the layers of responsibility will be pursued.”
“Eighth, all officials of Great Wei who go to foreign countries are amba*sadors and must be treated as royalty and must not be disrespected.”
“Ninth, each foreign country will set up a Great Wei Academy, where Great Wei scholars, will go to the foreign countries to preach and receive education, all at the foreign countries’ own expense.”
“Tenth, tentatively! It will be formulated accordingly, depending on the situation of each country.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and stated the ten conditions, which were the ten conditions for the surrender of Great Wei.
Each condition, which could not be said to be too harsh, could only be said to be something that was not done by human beings.
In a flash, the foreign nations were dumbfounded.
They knew that Great Wei would definitely not let them go, but what they did not expect was that Great Wei would be so ruthless!
Ten conditions were offered in one breath, especially the last one.
And a tentative decision?
Isn’t this a knife hanging over their heads? Who would be able to stand it if they set a demand for you and chopped you off on the spot if you messed with the Wei dynasty?
“Lord Xu, isn’t this a bit much?”
“Lord Xu, we have already surrendered, do you still want our king to cut his own throat?”
“Kill all the civil and military officials? Lord Xu, I’m afraid that won’t do.”
“Garrisoning our country, wouldn’t that make our country …….”
A voice rang out, seemingly overwhelmingly noisy.
It was also at this moment that Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
“Shut up!”
His gaze was cold as he swept a glance at the crowd.
And then said in an icy tone.
“This officer is not here to negotiate, but to inform you.”
“You are given one day to inform your king.”
“Accept, and tomorrow the Ministry of Rites will sign the terms with you.”
“If you do not accept, tomorrow the Great Wei Army will personally approach your king to talk it over.”
“Also, remember one thing.”
“There is no diplomacy in a weak country.”
Xu Qingnian was indifferent.
Each of these ten conditions was indeed unacceptable, simply a treaty that disgraced the country.
But so what?
Did this bunch of foreign nations have the qualifications to negotiate?
Xu Qingnian did not give them the time to continue nagging.
He left the place directly.
Did this group of people deserve to waste their time?
The answer was obvious.
They did not deserve it.
Xu Qingnian left, to the astonishment and unparalleled shock of the people.
These ten articles are simply inspiring to the people.
It was a great victory for the people of Wei, a great victory for the country, and a great victory for the people of Wei.
In the inn.
Gu Yan was standing at the entrance of the stairs, he had come out to get some things.
After hearing Xu Qingnian’s ten terms, he didn’t know what to say.
If this foreign country had agreed.
Gu Yan just wanted to immediately run to the empress and say.
Your Majesty! Great Wei has really made a fortune this time!
A military garrison! Tribute! Privileges! Privileges!
Any one of these would have made all the foreign nations cry out for help.
Any one of these would have fed Wei to the hilt.
This time, Wei.
We’re F**king rich.
