: 102 Is everything ready? (20,000/100,000)

Five hundred thousand taels is nothing compared to the imperial tax revenue for one year, but it also depends on the timing.
To maintain the operation of the imperial court and support military expenditures, a lot of silver was needed. The imperial court was already "poor and destitute", and waited for the resumption of farming after the beginning of the spring and breathed a sigh of relief.
The original intention of the negotiation was to "live". Yunzhou wanted to push Dafeng to death through the negotiation, and 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 is embarrassing me. My Yunzhou army is like a rainbow. If it weren't for my father to care about the world, I am afraid that I would have already come under the city. Our Yunzhou sincere peace talks, how in the eyes of the court, it is like a beggar?"
He once again mentioned the advantages of the Yunzhou Army on the battlefield, implying the unequal relationship between the two sides.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxing and the public frowned.
At this time, Ji Yuan suddenly turned around and sighed:
"Nevertheless, this official is adept at advocating, step back, this year's annual tribute can be half, but the next year will be made up.
"Your Majesty, sirs, what do you think?"
Emperor Yongxing exhaled silently and said with a smile:
"As for the detailed rules, it will be handed over to Honghe Temple for consultation with the envoy Ji."
The so-called detailed rules are to continue bargaining and wrangling. .
The discussion in front of the temple only discusses a general outline, not the details.
Xu Yuanshuang listened silently, and almost figured out Ji Yuan's routine. Last night, Ji Yuan and Ge Wenxuan Faluo Chuanyin discussed and analyzed the hearts of Emperor Dafeng and the public in advance, as well as their general bearing capacity.
The conclusion is that the limit is between two hundred thousand and two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver (silk is not counted).
On the way out, Xu Yuanshuang was still thinking that this first condition might be a "bad battle", but with Jiu Ge's eloquence, there must be no big problem.
Only now did I realize that I still underestimated Ji Yuan.
Why did he estimate so accurately............. Xu Yuanshuang's heart moved, and guessed that it was related to putting on airs outside the capital yesterday.
After initially finalizing the first condition, Ji Yuan continued:
"The second condition is that the father hopes that his majesty can post a notice, acknowledging that my Yunzhou line is also the orthodox of the Central Plains."
Zhu Gong was still calm about this, no one jumped out to criticize harshly.
"Too much bullying!"
Prince Qian, who was wearing ordinary clothes, the younger brother of Emperor Yuan Jing, strode out, glaring at Ji Yuan, and shouted:
"You wait for the anti-thief, worthy of being called the orthodox Central Plains? But it's just the bandits who occupy the mountain as the king."
Several kings and princes came out immediately and followed suit.
Quite different from the reaction of the public, the attitude of the royal family members is extremely fierce. The Central Plains line is regarded as the Central Plains orthodox. What about us? Are we anti-thief?
If you have to go deeper, it is true, but because of this, the Dafeng imperial clan will never admit or give in.
Ji Yuan's face became cold, and he swept past several princes and county princes, and said lightly:
"How did Emperor Wu Zong get the world, you don't know in your heart? We just want to regain our own identity and status, it's human nature."
The prince who had just stood up scolded:
"Five hundred years ago, the ignorant king was innocent, the virtuous minister was far from the villain, and the loyal and loyal were brutalized. The Emperor Wuzong stepped forward to protect his ancestor's inheritance. It was a matter of conforming to the people's will."
Ji Yuan tit-for-tat, raised his voice:
"The first emperor Yuan Jing was incompetent, charming and charming, and was fascinated by the beauty of the ancestor. He has been cultivating for 20 years and ignored the government, so that the people have no life. My Yunzhou line can not bear the destruction of the ancestor's foundation by the hands of the faint king. "
Several princes and county princes were furious:
"Kantan! Your Majesty, this one should be cut!"
If you let the public choose, this is a condition that you can promise without hesitation, because you don't have to pay a substantial price.
Of course, it is not without a price.
Once the imperial court admits this, the Yunzhou Rebellion Party will be "justified." The people will be the next best thing. They are afraid that the squires and landlords and local officials will rebel rightfully and take refuge in Yunzhou.
Since it is the Orthodox Central Plains, then it is not a betrayal, it is to be a loyal martyr, it would be harder to die than to surrender.
But these are trivial matters, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the fight cannot be won. Since the fight cannot be won, it will be sooner or later for the officials to defect and seek refuge.
Therefore, Zhu Gong did not have much resistance to this.
But in the eyes of the imperial family, it is more difficult to accept that Yunzhou is the orthodox of the Central Plains than 500,000 taels of silver, because this is 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 temple is to set the main tone. The negotiation of the "two countries" involves complicated details and cannot produce results in a short time.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yuan was extremely strong, and shook his head:
"Before coming, my father specially explained that if your majesty does not agree to this matter, the peace talks will not continue."
This is equivalent to blocking the conversation.
You emperor Yongxing either agrees or suspends the peace talks. Yunzhou will never give in on this matter.
"wishful thinking!"
King Yu also stood up and said solemnly:
"This king can also tell you that the court will never give in in this matter."
Ji Yuan stood with his hand in his hand and sighed:
"The official has already made such a big concession on the annual tribute, giving enough face to the court, and I didn't expect to get such a return."
He darkened his face and said sharply:
"You are really not afraid of my Yunzhou 100,000 cavalry!"
First take the reason, and then use the momentum, the waist is straight, and the strong words set off by the princes and county princes are unreasonable, and they don't know how to promote.
A county prince shouted:
"Then kill you first!"
Ji Yuan sneered:
"If the official is afraid of death, he will not enter Beijing."
In fact, the real purpose of this peace talks is to force the land to seek peace without blood, and to fight for territory is the core goal of Yunzhou.
Because the more territories he gets, the more Qi Luck that the national teacher Xu Pingfeng condenses, and the closer he is to the Tianming Master.
Ji Yuan insisted on the second condition. At first glance, it seemed that he had sacrificed the basics, but in fact, the Emperor Yongxing would agree to it.
Compared with actual interests and survival, the reputation of the clan will lag behind.
And this matter is more of a dispute between the two lines of the royal family. It does not involve the core interests, and the mood of opposition from the public is not high.
Then, no matter how many royal family members clamored, it was just incompetent and furious.
Emperor Yongxing stared at Ji Yuan for a moment, and said every word:
"Okay, I promise!"
As soon as these words came out, the clan's expression in the hall changed, and he shouted:
"His Majesty......."
Emperor Yongxing raised his hand and forced the princes and county princes back with sharp eyes:
"I have decided!"
Including Yu Wang, the eyes of all the clan families looking at Emperor Yongxing were full of disappointment.
Emperor Yongxing turned to look at Ji Yuan and asked:
"What is the third condition."
Ji Yuan stretched out his palm, spread his five fingers, and said loudly:
"Ceding land, Dafeng wants to cede Yongzhou, Yuzhou and Zhangzhou to us."
Inside the Jinluan Temple, there was a dead silence for a moment, and then noisy discussions arose in the next moment.
Although Zhu Gong and Emperor Yongxing had guessed in advance that Yunzhou might open a big mouth, demanding compensation and cede land, Wei Shi did not expect that his appetite would be so great.
After fighting for so long on both sides, Dafeng only lost a Qingzhou.
Then want to take away the land of the Three States through peace talks without bloodshed?
Qian Qingshu, the first assistant, walked out, his eyes were coldly sweeping Ji Yuan and others, and said:
"Although Qingzhou is lost, Dafeng still has 11 continents with many soldiers. Do you really think that you are a small place in Yunzhou?
"Your Majesty's willingness to negotiate a peace with You and others is also unbearable for the people to be poisoned by the war again, not because you are afraid of Yunzhou."
Ji Yuan laughed loudly and said:
"If you remember correctly, before the autumn harvest, Wei Yuan led one hundred thousand elite to crusade against the Sorcerer Sect and almost wiped out the entire army. This is one of them.
"After the winter, the imperial court once again assembled an army of 90,000, and fought fiercely with my Yunzhou soldiers in Qingzhou, losing more than half, which is the second of them.
"The forces of the three northwestern states must be used to resist the harassment of the Western Region coalition forces, and they cannot deploy troops to support the fighting in the south. This is the third.
"There are many soldiers, and one soldier has many generals. I dare to ask Qian Shoufu, if the court still has the strength to fight my Yunzhou?"
Every time Ji Yuan said, the expressions of the public in the hall looked ugly.
They would not admit it verbally, but they knew in their hearts that what Ji Yuan said was true, and each sentence was critical.
The war in Leizhou in the west was not serious. The coalition forces of the Western Regions mainly harassed them. There were continuous small battles and no major battles.
But just in case, it is indeed impossible to deploy troops on a large scale.
Qian Qingshu was at a loss for words, he disdaind sophistry, and snorted coldly.
Seeing Shoufu's anger and silence, the public looked at each other and wondered how to refute.
At this time, the household servant came out and said slowly:
"If you remember correctly, in the 30th year of Yuanjing, the number of registered people in Yunzhou was 830,000. Dare to ask the envoy Ji, does Yunzhou have ten households with one soldier or 20 households with one soldier? How about 100,000 cavalry? Come?
"There are so many elites in Yunzhou, it can be counted as the reason. The skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how weak Dafeng is, it is always a matter of fighting all the elites of Yunzhou."
The household servant is the most sensitive to data such as money, food, household registration, and population.
Liu Hong, the Yushi Zuodu, immediately went out and echoed:
"The final outcome is nothing more than losing both. Don't forget, the Sorcerer God is watching around. Buddhism's allies are not really heartbroken to Yunzhou, right?"
He just tried to continue to state the situation and persuade this young man from Yunzhou.
He was interrupted by laughter, Ji Yuan laughed, and said:
"Master Liu, these words are enough to fool a three-year-old child. Isn't it too ridiculous to play around in front of the official and secretly change the concept?"
He looked at the housekeeper:
"This adult is right, but what about it? Now Qingzhou is under our control, and the refugees can be soldiers. If you want to fight for the elite of Yunzhou, please try it.
"In addition, Jianzheng has been beheaded by our national teacher in Qingzhou. Without this patron saint, how can you be confident to say that you are the elite of Yunzhou?"
Finally, it is inevitable to mention this topic.
It was precisely because they had lost their supervision that Emperor Yongxing and the princes were frightened. A while ago, they dared not sleep at night, for fear that those terrifying and extraordinary powerhouses would enter the capital, enter the palace, and take them away in their dreams. Own head.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry retorted:
"Although Jianzheng is dead, Dafeng is not without extraordinary powers, Sun Xuanji of Sitianjian, Luo Yuheng, the national teacher, Zhao Shou, the dean of Yunlu Academy, and...Xu Qi'an! "
"Yes, we still have Xu Yinluo." As if to cheer himself up, someone agreed.
Ji Yuan smiled without saying a word, a scarlet official behind him sneered:
"Even Jianzheng died in the hands of our national teacher. Xu Qi'an is the third grade in the district, and he is worthy to fight with him? It seems that the Nine Young Master is too humble, making Er et al. think that Yunzhou is afraid of Dafeng.
"If you want to negotiate a peace, you will agree to our terms. If you don't want to negotiate a peace, naturally some of our Yunzhou experts will come to the capital and kill you first. Then Yunzhou's army will come down to the city and take control of the Central Plains.
"You have other options?"
Seeing the poor, tearing the skin is an inevitable process of negotiation, and the strong side holds a bargaining chip to put pressure on it.
It is necessary to cut the land, and cut more and cut less is the rule of negotiation.
Ji Yuan lightly shook the small silver bone fan and said lightly:
"Your Majesty and the princes may not know the details of the day that Jian Zheng's body fell. Anyway, Jian Zheng is really powerful. If it is not for the national teacher to invite the legendary beast of Yunzhou, the white emperor, and the head of the sect, the black lotus, they want to kill. Supervising Zheng, it’s as difficult as climbing to the heavens."
He slowly told about the process of the powerful people besieging Jianzheng, of course, it was all Hubian, but this is not important. What is important is that he used the so-called process to let Emperor Yongxing and the public understand the back of Yunzhou. How terrible is the extraordinary powerhouse.
The royal family members, civil servants and military commanders in the hall were extremely ugly, or their faces were gloomy, or their fists were clenched, or they were helplessly depressed.
humiliation!
Emperor Yongxing couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, and said solemnly:
"Three continents is absolutely impossible, this matter will be discussed later, what is the fourth condition."
This means that the land has been agreed, and the quantity has to be negotiated.
Ji Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and his goal had been achieved. As far as the situation is concerned, the negotiation went smoothly without much setbacks.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this fourth condition is nothing but an addition."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxing’s expression on Shen Ning's expression eased slightly, saying:
"But it doesn't matter."
Ji Yuan "pop" closed the small silver bone fan:
"This official wants to ask your majesty for the refining handbook for supervision."
Compared with the first three conditions, this is indeed an addition. Although the refining handbook of a first-grade warlock is bound to be extremely precious, items that are too high-level are really not as important as personal benefits.
...............
A complete defeat!
The first encounter between the imperial court and the Yunzhou mission was a complete defeat.
The negotiation itself was unequal. Dafeng wanted to ask for peace, and it was inevitable to cut his flesh with pain. However, the powerlessness shown by Zhu Gong and Emperor Yongxing in the process still made many middle and low-level Beijing officials chilling and disappointed.
And those four conditions, in the eyes of some scholars, are simply a loss of power and insult to the country.
"It is a shame and a shame to cede land for peace!"
The first to make trouble was the Hanlin Academy. These had no real power at hand, but were the first-class scholars in the Central Committee of the Central Government, who gathered at the Meridian Gate and yelled at them.
"Fun Jun, just the fall of Qingzhou makes you scared."
"People are inherently dead. Scholars of my generation would rather stand to die than kneel to live."
"The Yunzhou line is orthodox? So what is the imperial family today, and what is my allegiance to the scholars, the faint monarch who has forgotten his ancestors."
Then these people were pulled out of the staff one by one, and they were dying.
This really shocked some people, but could not control the fermentation of the rumors. Just after lunch, the students from the Imperial College dropped out. The book business is the most sharp, some writing articles ridiculing; some gathering crowds to criticize in the downtown area; there are shocks. The Great Jijiu Office, who requested to hand a blood book to His Majesty.........
What happened in the early dynasty was first spread in the officialdom of the capital and the upper class, and then slowly spread to the people at the bottom. At dusk, there were rumors in the market that the court seceded the land to seek peace and recognized the rebels as the orthodox of the Central Plains.
"Yesterday, when I saw the gangster entering the city, I knew that the court had asked for peace."
"Oh, it’s best to be able to fight without fighting. The world is chaotic... but I always feel unwilling to think about it. Why did the court lose when it said that it was defeated? When it sent troops to fight the Sorcerer Sect last year, it was so beautiful. what."
"I heard that even Jianzheng is dead, but that is the old in Sitian Prison. Alas, it's going to change."
"Where's Xu Yinluo? Did Xu Yinluo watch the court ceding land for peace?"
"Xu Yinluo has done his best. The court recently posted a notice saying that Xu Yinluo had formed an alliance with the Ten Thousand Demon Nation and the Gu Clan. Without the ally of Buddhism, we also have other allies."
"Oh, who would have thought that Qingzhou would fall into the ground when he said it was lost. I don't have any hope. If something happened before, Xu Yinluo will always come out."
.............
Inn.
Ji Yuan took out the magic weapon, propped up a soundproof formation, listened to the report of his subordinates, and laughed:
"It's very lively outside. These nerds who don't know how to be high and earthy, nothing more, they are all insignificant little people. Our next goal is to test Xu Qi'an."
When Xu Yuanshuang heard about Xu Qi'an, he asked:
"How to test?"
The small silver-bone fan in Ji Yuan's hand turned around and said:
"For example, when the negotiation was about to end, I suddenly made up a condition and asked to marry Dafeng. The target must be one of the two princesses of Lin'an Huaiqing."
Xu Qi'an and Lin'an have a marriage contract, which he inquired from someone sent by the concubine Chen.
Xu Yuanshuang frowned and said:
"Are you looking for death?"
If you really want to do this, it is one thing whether the peace talks can be achieved, but it is another thing for Xu Qi to let him leave the capital alive.
Ji Yuan laughed loudly:
"The two princesses and I are of the same race. The marriage is naturally not in our line. It is Yuan Huai. How would you say Xu Qi'an would react? Can he act on his own brother?"
"He will!" Xu Yuanhuai's expression changed abruptly, which was driving him to death.
"Just kidding, see what makes you nervous."
Ji Yuan smiled like amusement, and suddenly sat down tight, saying:
"Xu Qi'an hasn't shown up, and we don't know what idea he made secretly.
"Although Jianzheng is sealed, it is Jianzheng. Who knows what trump cards will be left behind. The national teacher does not know, so he will test Xu Qi'an through peace talks, in order to understand the future of Jianzheng. hand."
Xu Yuanshuang's face improved slightly and asked:
"Brother Nine thinks, what hole cards will he have?"
Ji Yuan thought for a while and laughed:
"Dead end!
"This is a dead end for Xu Qi'an. If I were him, I would always turn a blind eye to the peace talks, and then take advantage of the time gained from the peace talks to ask my grandfather to tell my grandmother and win over the extraordinary and powerful as an ally.
"So, our trip to the capital is a waste of credit, and there will be no danger."
The folding fan in Ji Yuan's hand rotates:
"Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can only recognize it by pinching his nose. Ah, I really want to see his dead end posture, but it's not the time yet. We have to wait for us to break through the capital."
.............
Jingxiu Palace.
"Mother concubine, I heard Huaiqing say that once the land is ceded to make peace, Dafeng will be completely hopeless."
Lin'an said worriedly, the oval face was no longer bright, and it was stained with a layer of haze.
Chen Guifei said anxiously:
"There is no other way than to ask for peace. Do you want to continue to fight Yunzhou? If there is a chance of winning, will your Majesty and the guilds discuss peace with one mind?
"Now only peace is the way out, otherwise you count on your fiancé."
Lin'an bit her lip and wanted to cry:
"Mother, why do you hate him so much."
A white figure flashed in Chen Guifei's mind, gritted her teeth and said:
"There is nothing good about Xu."
She immediately softened her heart and took Lin'an's hand:
"Then Huaiqing has been a dark-hearted person since she was a child, and she can't believe what she said. Lin'an, you don't understand, now no one can save the court except for peace talks."
............
Palace.
Dressed in a thick cloak, Qian Qingshu went straight to Wang Zhenwen's bedroom.
Seeing him coming in, Wang Zhenwen waved his hand, held back the maid, and asked straightforwardly:
"What are the conditions?"
Qian Qingshu relayed the four conditions of Yunzhou.
"Rebelling against the party! Rebelling against the party!!"
Wang Zhenwen scolded several times and coughed violently.
Qian Qingshu sat on the edge of the bed, caressed his back to help him flow, and sighed:
"The matter has reached 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."
"Acknowledging that Qianlongcheng's line is the orthodox of the Central Plains, chasing my heart, asking for money, squeezing my great financial power, ceding the three continents, and becoming a force..."
Wang Zhenwen murmured:
"It's over, I am powerless, I am powerless."
Even if Wei Yuan was resurrected, he would not be able to play this game.
Qian Qingshu sighed:
"But who can persuade your Majesty, besides, the negotiation is to comply with the general trend. Now only Xu Qi'an can go against the trend.
"But Brother Wang, forcing Xu Qi'an to break with the court, isn't it a conspiracy to rebel against the party in Yunzhou. He hasn't shown up, just understands this.
"I have found out that he is in the Sitianjian, and sent someone to pass the letter. If he were to come, he would have come a long time ago."
............
Si Tianjian, big bedroom.
Xu Qi'an was immersed in the tub, with his back leaning against the wall of the tub, and sitting in his arms, the flower who was nearly forty years old and softer than a girl.
She sat limply in Xu Qi'an's arms, with her head resting on his shoulders, her cheeks flushed, her eyes blurred, and she didn't have any strength.
"Wh, what time is it..."
After finally taking a break, Munanzhi asked weakly.
"Not long after lunch."
Xu Qi'an pinched Mu Nanzhi's willow waist, never letting her leave her arms, full of energy.
The beauty in her arms is white and soft, her skin looks like ivory, delicate and elastic.
Lunch is over... Mu Nanzhi cursed with a crying voice:
"Are you a farm animal? You played with me for a day and a night, and I, I won't double repair with you..."
Compared with Xiao Yu, your combat effectiveness is really too weak.......... Xu Qi'an said:
"The first double repair works best. At present, my Qi machine is still growing. When it reaches the limit, I will stop. The Qi machine in your body is also vigorous. Nan Zhi, do you know how many people yearn for this kind of soaring cultivation."
By the bath tub, water stains were everywhere, and the clothes and apron 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 quilts fell on the ground, and the sheets were crumpled and messy, with irregular marks remaining.
Thanks to the vigorous spirit of the flower god, Xu Qi'an only took one night ~EbookFREE.me~ to stabilize the foundation.
In a normal state, it takes about a decade after promotion to stabilize the state and adapt to the strength.
At this time, he felt a familiar feeling of palpitations.
He beckoned to call the fragments of the book from the scattered clothes.
[1: The Yunzhou Mission has already visited Yongxing, and Yunzhou has given four conditions. 】
Huai Qing gave a detailed account of what he said at the meeting this morning in the local book chat group.
Finally, a simple evaluation:
【One: A complete defeat, Ji Yuan is an extremely powerful character, coupled with the overwhelming power, Yongxing and Zhugong have no bargaining chips with him at all. 】
[Seven: Useless! 】
Shengzi commented.
After reading Huaiqing's report, Li Lingsu felt aggrieved for Dafeng, let alone Li Miaozhen, who was jealous and hated.
[2: If this waste emperor really cedes the land of the three continents, wouldn't Xu Pingfeng be like a tiger with more wings? Wouldn't the Yunzhou army be like a tiger with wings. Dafeng still has a chance?
[Xu Ningyan, what on earth should I do, if I fight it or something, say something. 】
Xu Qi'an has rarely passed on books to speak recently, and has appeared extremely negative.
The other members of the Heaven and Earth Society were equally anxious, and Dafeng slid into the abyss step by step but was helpless.
[3: Don't worry, do your thing with peace of mind, and I will handle the peace talks. 】
After a brief explanation, he held a soft and feeble Mu Nanzhi while chatting privately with Princess Xueba.
[Three: Your Highness, is everything ready? 】
