Chapter 1576: Is everything ready?(20000/100000) _3
“Do you have any other choice?”
When the dagger was revealed, a fall out was a necessary process in a negotiation. The chips in the hands of the stronger party were used to exert pressure.
It was necessary to cut off land, and the details of the negotiation were how much land to be cut.
Ji Yuan waved his small silver bone fan and said indifferently, ”
Your Majesty and the rest of you may not know the details of Jian Zheng’s death that day. Speaking of which, Jian Zheng was indeed very powerful. If the Imperial advisor didn’t invite the legendary divine beast white Emperor of Yunzhou and the head of the earth sect, Black Lotus, to kill Jian Zheng, it would have been as difficult as ascending to heaven.
He slowly told the process of how the experts besieged and killed the supervisor. Of course, it was all made up, but it was not important. What was important was that through the so-called process, he let Emperor Yongxing and the other officials understand how terrifying the extraordinary experts behind Yunzhou were.
The members of the royal family, the civil and military officials in the hall all had extremely unsightly expressions. Some had gloomy expressions, some clenched their fists, and some were helpless and depressed.
Humiliation!
Emperor Yongxing couldn’t help but pinch his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, ”
it’s impossible to obtain three provinces. We can discuss this matter later. What’s the fourth condition? ”
He meant that he had agreed to give up the land, but the quantity had to be discussed.
The corner of Ji Yuan’s mouth twitched. He had achieved his goal. As of now, this negotiation was going smoothly without too many twists and turns.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. The fourth condition is nothing much. It’s just a bonus.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongxing’s solemn expression eased a little and he said, ”
“Just say it.”
Ji Yuan closed his small silver Fan with a snap.
“I would like to ask His Majesty for Jian Zheng’s tool refining manual.”
Compared to the first three conditions, this was indeed a bonus. Although the refining Handbook of a first-grade Warlock was bound to be extremely precious, an item of too high a level was not as important as his personal interests.
……………
He was utterly defeated!
The first confrontation between the Imperial court and the cloud region’s diplomatic mission had resulted in a crushing defeat.
This peace negotiation itself was not equal. Da Feng wanted to seek peace, so it was inevitable to cut his own flesh. However, the powerlessness shown by the Lords and Emperor Yongxing in the process still made many middle and low-ranking officials feel cold and disappointed.
As for those four conditions, in the eyes of some scholars, it was simply humiliating.
“Ceding land for peace, what a great humiliation!”
The Hanlin Academy was the first to cause a ruckus. These scholars, who did not have any real power in their hands, but were still the first class of the court, gathered at the meridian Gate and began to curse.
“Fatuous ruler, just the loss of Qingzhou has scared you out of your wits.”
everyone is bound to die. We scholars would rather die standing than live on our knees.
“The cloud Prefecture is the Orthodox lineage? Then what is the current imperial family? what are we scholars loyal to? a fatuous ruler who forgets his ancestors.”
