Chapter 1580: Rebellion (22 000/100000) _1

In the Royal study.

Emperor Yongxing opened the document and carefully reviewed the ‘agreement’ of both parties. The content of the agreement was complicated and it involved many details. The first condition remained the same:

Since the first year of Yongxing, the great Feng dynasty had paid five hundred thousand taels of silver and six hundred thousand rolls of silk to Yunzhou every year.

Extension and changes in the rules:

In the first year, they only needed to pay one hundred and fifty thousand taels and three hundred thousand rolls of silk.

The second condition remained unchanged. After the peace talks, the Imperial court of Dafeng would immediately send a public announcement to all the local Yamen, acknowledging that Yunzhou was the Orthodox lineage of the Central Plains. A notice would also be put up to announce it to the world.

The third condition took the longest time to negotiate.

Yunzhou requested the Imperial court to give up Yongzhou, Yuzhou, and Zhangzhou.

Further north of Yongzhou was the capital city. Therefore, it was impossible to give up Yongzhou. This was a matter of principle.

During the negotiation, Ji Yuan once again used Yunzhou’s transcendents to pressure them. However, it did not work this time. The minister of rites and the Minister of Honglu temple refused to give in.

Yuzhou and Zhang Zhou, the former was rich in iron resources, while the latter was one of the three granaries of Da Feng. If these two states were ceded to the Yunzhou rebel army, one could imagine the consequences.

However, if he protected Yongzhou, he would have to give up Yuzhou and Zhangzhou. From a geographical point of view, these two provinces were still far from the capital city, not as fatal as Yongzhou.

The fourth condition, Jian Zheng’s refining manual.

Emperor Yongxing had already sent people to the Directorate of Celestials to get it yesterday. Unexpectedly, Song Qing of the Directorate of Celestials gave it out very quickly.

He was so happy that it was as if this was not the relic of his dead master.

“Your Majesty, although the peace negotiations have been successful, the rebels in Yunzhou have wild ambitions. We can’t trust them easily.”

The old king Li was also in the Imperial study at the moment. He was the only one present who had been given a seat.

“Don’t worry, granduncle!”

Emperor Yongxing’s face finally had some of his usual smile and he said in a relaxed tone, ”

“I’ve already discussed this matter with you. After we send off the Yun state’s diplomatic mission, I’ll personally look for Xu yinluo and ask him to go to the southern border to get reinforcements. The Gu clan and the demon clan had many transcendent experts. He would just ask Xu yinluo to invite them over.

the Spring Festival will be in a month. After the festival, spring will return to the earth and the cold will be resolved. The situation will definitely be better.

King Li nodded slightly,

“This Prince heard that a few days ago, His Majesty and Xu yinluo had an unpleasant argument?”

Emperor Yongxing waved his hand, ”

“It’s just a small matter. I usually respect him, but I have my own ideas for national affairs. We can’t allow him to show off his courage.”

As for asking for reinforcements, Emperor Yongxing did not think about how Xu Qi ‘an would ask for help. It seemed that everything was Xu Qi’ an’s duty.

Just like how he developed the Gu clan and the monster race into allies.

Prince Li replied with a “hmm.” His expression relaxed a little as he slowly said,

“So Your Majesty already has a plan, then this Prince can be at ease.”

Emperor Yongxing’s plan was clear. He would first negotiate peace and stabilize the rebellion, and then let Xu yinluo go to the South to ask for help. At the same time, they were waiting for the beginning of spring to subside the cold.

Similarly, Prince Li did not consider the difficulty of the mission.

……….

Outside the city gate, six cavalrymen galloped in. They were wearing cloaks and riding fast horses, whistling through the city gate.
