Chapter 439: Pushing the envelope!
Wanyan Wushu and Taishi Tong looked at each other, then looked at the young emperor above, and chuckled.
"Don't worry, we are definitely here for peace talks."
Boss Li Ge had a face on his face, and he angrily scolded the crown prince Cheng Guo to the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.
Finally, we were able to have peace talks with the Tatars on an equal footing. However, due to this being done by Prince Cheng, Zhou fell into a disadvantage again!
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was silently calculating in his heart, how much money will be taken out of the treasury this time? Where should I move it from?
The Minister of War's heart was like frying in a frying pan. During the peace talks in previous years, the Tatars wanted both money and women.
The women given here can’t just be given to folk women, but some officials’ daughters will also be selected and given the title of princess!
The jewel in the eye of the Minister of War has just turned fifteen this year, and he originally wanted to send her to the palace.
The Minister of the Ministry of War silently prayed in his heart, don’t increase the number of girls given away!
Cui Sanlun looked at this group of people coldly, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
The Tatars clearly came for peace talks, but as a result, the imperial court, from top to bottom, acquiesced in negotiating in accordance with past practices. What is the difference between this and handing over protection money?
The local gangsters collected protection fees to ensure that the vendors would not be bullied by other gangsters.
This Tatar will renege on his promise if he turns around after receiving protection money!
Wanyan Wushu has been in Kyoto for a while, so he can naturally see the virtues of civil and military officials.
If it weren't for Gu Nanxi, Wanyan Wushu was sure that under the leadership of his father, he would be able to capture this rich land!
However, Gu Nanxi was like a high mountain, a barrier, firmly guarding this group of people behind her!
Wanyan Wushu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Don't worry, Emperor, I, Wanyan Wushu, am not that dishonest or rogue person. My request is very simple, as long as you agree to two We will not pursue this matter again!”
The young emperor: “What’s the matter?”
“First, I want Prince Cheng to sacrifice his life!”
The cultural relic officials breathed a sigh of relief.
This request is not too much. If the laws of the Zhou Dynasty were strictly implemented, the prince Chengguo would be sentenced to exile.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance asked: "What is the second thing?"
Wanyan Wushu suppressed the smile on his face, and a low magnetic voice sounded, containing an imperceptible coldness. The breath, the tightened eyes revealed a hint of danger, and the eyes were full of turmoil.
He said word for word: "I want Yunzhou's boundary markers to be moved five hundred and one miles southward!"
Why five hundred and one miles?
Because the last time Gu Nanxi made a plan to integrate many large grassland tribes, the Yunzhou boundary monument was moved five hundred miles north.
Wanyan Wushu is going to take advantage of this and get the five hundred miles back!
The remaining mile is an insult to Gu Nanxi!
He wants to use this incident to tell people all over the grassland, what is the Yunzhou boundary monument? ! That's just a rock!
After hearing Yan Wushu's second condition, all the civil and military officials raised their heads in disbelief.
That’s it? !
The Minister of War almost laughed out loud. The Yunzhou boundary monument had nothing to do with him. He could place it wherever he liked.
The Minister of Hubu also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wanyan Wushu did not open its mouth like a lion. This year, the officials also plan to build a rockery. They want to use West Lake Taishi, but this will cost money!
There was a sound of whispers in the main hall.
With this little condition, why are you hesitating? Agree quickly.
But the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne did not speak for a long time, and the hall slowly became quiet.
The civil and military officials then remembered that Yunzhou was Gu Nanxi’s territory!
For the sake of these five hundred miles, Gu Nanxi used her own body to lure the enemy and tried all the traps. In the end, she offended the emperor because of this and was granted the title of Marquis of Zhongyi.
Will she willingly spit out these five hundred miles?
If the emperor agrees, but Gu Nanxi doesn't do it... "Despicable villain!" Cui Sanlun blew his beard and glared!
This stupid Wanyan Wushu is trying to sow discord, right? !
......
Soon, the two conditions proposed by Wanyan Wushu spread in the capital.
Countless fast horses carried the news to all directions in Zhou Dynasty.
After hearing the news, Su Yunyan got angry in the study: "I should have killed Wanyan Wushu directly from the beginning!"
Li Yixuan knocked on the door and came in, sharing the same enemy: "This bastard is just playing conspiracy one after another. It doesn't look like a Tatar at all!"
< br>He stroked his chest: "Ah, I am so angry that my chest hurts! If my godmother does this, I will feel so aggrieved!"
"And it will also affect my grandma's layout in Yunzhou. Yun The majesty of the state is achieved with real swords and guns. Once we retreat like this, all the blood shed before will become a joke!”
Su Xuanming frowned tightly. If he were A Niang, how could he break this situation?
If you insist on not retreating, then all the blame for the failure of the peace talks will be placed on A Niang, and if you resist the order, isn't it equivalent to an open rebellion? !
Wanyan Wushu’s move is a bit cruel, it’s like stepping on my mother’s face and doing crazy damage.
Many people in Kyoto can see these points.
"Excessive! It's not easy for General Gu Nanxi to take these five hundred miles! Wanyan Wushu wanted to take it back with just one flirty word!"
"Why are you still hesitating, Your Majesty? The Tatars are going too far to bully others. They clearly don't want to talk sincerely! They must reject him and show them some color!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole teahouse fell silent. .
The person who spoke looked around in confusion: "Why don't you speak? Aren't you the ones who usually make the loudest noise?"
"Ah, this. What you say. , how can it be taken seriously? , How can fighting be such an easy thing? Not only do you have to pay for it, but you also have to sacrifice your life!”
“Yes, last time the Holy Spirit said that we would fight in person, I was on the list and almost didn’t cry. Blind!”
"That's right, if we really want to start a full-scale war, with our weak bodies, ten Tatars combined are not enough to kill one person!"
"For the sake of the dawn of the world, the general can accept a little grievance. Well..."
This sounds a bit unconscionable. Don't they know how much General Gu Nanxi has paid and how much he has endured?
It’s not that they don’t know how hard life is at the border and how cruel the war is.
It is precisely because they know so well that they don’t want to go to the battlefield themselves!
The people at the border have long been accustomed to that kind of life, but others have not!
Why let others suffer at the border just for a little dignity?
In the private room on the second floor of Fuquan Tea House, many officials from the lower court took off their official robes and gathered here.
Seeing this scene, some people sneered: "It is said that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, but the hearts of the people have changed too quickly."
"Gu Nanxi is a woman after all, too much Emotional.”
"Shang Jun once said that there are five skills to control the people: fooling the people, weakening the people, tiring the people, humiliating the people and the poor! Gu Nanxi didn't believe it, but he wanted to open up the people's wisdom and hide wealth among the people. Aren't you being slapped in the face by reality?" br>
“If I were her, I really don’t know how to break the situation.”
