The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1040 Emperor Yuan is ill
Zhou Xingyan didn't think about it.

Although Kublai Khan is already 70 years old, in recent years, Kublai Khan's physical condition is still very good.It is no exaggeration to say that old and strong.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Xingyan said: "I am here to discuss the matter of peace by the order of my emperor. Dare I ask the envoy of the General Council to make the decision?"

Sang Ge cupped his hands and said: "If I can't make the decision, I will report it to the emperor."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Xingyan no longer had any worries in his heart, and said directly: "My emperor is willing to agree to your court's peace, but your court needs to transfer the Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, and Jiangnan East Road that originally belonged to our dynasty. , Liangzhe East Road, and Liangzhe West Road are all returned to our court.”

Sang Ge didn't show any surprise.

He knew that the little emperor of Song would definitely make such a condition.

It is no secret that the officials of the Song Dynasty do not want to take back the territory all the time.

Brother Sang frowned slightly, and said: "Then those officers and soldiers of our Yuan Dynasty who were captured in the Gui Dynasty..."

Zhou Xing said: "Your dynasty withdraws its troops, and after our dynasty takes over the territory, we will naturally send those soldiers to the border of your dynasty in good condition."

Sang Ge nodded slightly.

This was within his and Kublai's tolerance.

All in all, Zhao Dongting just wants to take back Huainan West Road and other roads, which is far from being a lion's mouth.

Because with the current military front of the Great Song Dynasty, if the new Song Dynasty and Dali are not destroyed, but the military front is directed at the Yuan Dynasty.It may even be possible to directly destroy the Yuan Dynasty.

Seeing Brother Sang nodding, Zhou Xingyan said, "Then the envoy of the General Institute agreed?"

Brother Sang frowned slightly again, "Your court lost land, and I am willing to return it. It's just... How long can your court promise not to invade our territory?"

It's embarrassing to say that.

From the development of the Yuan Dynasty to the present, there has never been such an experience.Of course, Fu's suggestion and that time don't count.

But Sang Ge had to say it again.

Because the power of the Yuan Dynasty is no longer comparable to that of the Song Dynasty.

The reason why this matter was not mentioned in the peace appeal letter is because there is too much room for bargaining on this matter.

Zhou Xingyan said: "How long does the General Council envoy want?"

There is always a faint smile on his mouth.

Since he passed the imperial examination, he was sent to the Yuan Dynasty, and he was constantly stared at by these Yuan officials.Never been so comfortable.

This taste is really refreshing.

Sang Ge pondered slightly, and finally said: "Ten years."

"Ha ha."

But Zhou Xingyan smiled, "Does the envoy of the General Institute think that my majesty will promise to give you such a long time to recuperate?"

An angry look appeared on Sang Ge's face.

He seemed to see a little disdain and mockery in Zhou Xingyan's eyes.

And how had he been treated like this before?

It has always been only their Yuan Dynasty officials who are domineering.

After more than ten seconds, Brother Sang's chest slowly calmed down, and he said in a deep voice, "Then, Lord Zhou, how long is your Great Song Emperor willing to maintain peace?"

Zhou Xingyan smiled and said, "Since Fu suggested peace, as long as there is left in the five-year period, peace will be maintained for as long as it is."

"Too deceiving!"

Brother Sang finally couldn't help complaining, "You guys are too insincere. If Fu suggests a settlement, isn't there only two years left?"

"But at the beginning, it was your Yuan Dynasty who broke the agreement first. No matter how long the negotiation took, what's the point?" Zhou Xingyan didn't get angry, but said quietly.

These words made Desang Ge's expression froze for a moment.

That's right, what Fu proposed and agreed upon at the beginning was a five-year peace.But as a result, didn't their Yuan Dynasty send troops to attack Song Dynasty in just over two years?

They can break the contract, but Song Dynasty can't break the contract?
The two countries are confronting each other, and the words on these documents are actually meaningless at all.

Even if Emperor Song promised ten years of peace, the national power of the Song Dynasty would far exceed their Yuan Dynasty.Song Emperor wants to break the contract, what can they do?
After a long while, Brother Sang said slowly: "What does Master Zhou mean, that in this peace negotiation regulation, there is no need to negotiate a peace time at all?"

Zhou Xingyan nodded directly, "Indeed."

Sang Gefu was silent again.

Suddenly the discussion reached this point, and he realized that he couldn't make up his mind.

Although Zhou Xingyan was young, he was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"I need to ask the emperor for instructions."

In the end, Sang Ge said so.

Zhou Xingyan cupped his hands, "Then I'll wait in the mansion for your news from the Headquarters?"

Sang Ge nodded slightly, "Okay."

Then, Zhou Xingyan left Zhongshu Province and went outside the palace.Sang Ge went directly to the depths of the palace.

He met Kublai Khan in Kublai Khan's bedroom.

Although it was only two days, Kublai Khan was much more haggard than before.The whole face is full of old age, and there is not much blood to be seen.

Seeing Sang Ge approaching the bed, Kublai waved his hands weakly.All the eunuchs and maids in the bedroom went out.

Kublai Khan said softly: "Is there a result in the peace negotiation?"

Sang Ge shook his head slowly, "I didn't dare to make a decision on my own."

Then, he told Kublai Khan the whole process of his discussion with Zhou Xingyan.

This made Kublai Khan's face flush again, "Your child is bullying me..."

Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth.

"emperor!"

This frightened Sang Ge to change color.

However, Kublai Khan's tone continued after all, and he said as if talking to himself: "It's just that the situation is not as good as others, and I can't blame others..."

He lightly patted Sang Ge on the shoulder, just like the two of them did when they were young, "Let's tear up the agreement first and send troops to attack Song Dynasty. It really doesn't make sense to negotiate a peace period this time. It doesn't matter if the time limit is indefinite, Song will be destroyed and stabilized." Dali, Xinsong, and even the Yueli Dynasty always take several years. In these few years, as long as we develop firearms that surpass them, we will not be afraid of them. However, if we can delay, it will always be a delay The longer the better..."

Sang Ge was slightly puzzled, "What does the emperor mean?"

Kublai Khan said: "I heard that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty loved beauties, and he traveled far away in the middle of Sichuan and entered Baicao Valley for beauties. If you are like this, marrying Mingzhu to him may make him feel a little worried."

"Can……"

Sang Ge said in surprise: "But would the little emperor of the Song Dynasty be willing to take His Royal Highness Princess Mingzhu as his concubine?"

Kublai Khan said quietly: "If he doesn't agree, we won't discuss peace. I think the little emperor of the Song Dynasty is actually unwilling to continue fighting with us."

Sang Ge nodded slightly.

Then there was a few minutes of silence in the room.

Kublai Khan's spirit was extremely bad, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

"emperor……"

Sang Ge said softly again: "Do you want to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Mingzhu about this matter? If she doesn't want to marry...she is your most beloved princess, and she is the daughter of the crown prince..."

He obviously still has a lot of concerns.

Kublai Khan slowly opened his eyes, but waved his hands and said: "No need. That girl will not refuse. She has already regarded this place as a place of sadness."

"correct."

As he said that, he suddenly changed his voice: "I asked you to send an order for the prince to return to the court quickly, what's the matter?"

Apparently Kublai Khan didn't want to talk too much about Turandot.

After such a long time, Turandot has always neglected him, and he also understands in his heart that it is impossible for Turandot to be as close to him as before.

Even though Kublai Khan was ambitious and known as the Iron and Blood King, at this age, it was inevitable that he would feel a little heartbroken.

But in this matter, I really can't blame Turandot.

After all, he was the one who gave up on Turandot.

Brother Sang also heard that Kublai Khan did not want to talk too much about Turandot, so he hurriedly replied: "The letter has already been sent out. When the prince receives it, he will definitely return to court immediately. The emperor can rest assured."

"Ugh……"

Kublai Khan suddenly sighed softly, "Brother Sang, do you think Yeluzhu and Ashu can come back alive?"

Sang Ge just shook his head.

He wanted to say that the two of them would definitely come back, but he really couldn't say it because the hope was too slim.

Even though the two may not have died, the Song Dynasty might be willing to let those soldiers go back to the dynasty, but probably would not let Yeluzhu and Ashu go.The status of the two of them in the Yuan Dynasty was too high.

Kublai Khan sighed softly again, "There are not many of our old brothers left now, right?"

Sang Ge remained silent.

Thoughts seem to drift to the distant past.

On the grassland, more than a dozen horses and more than a dozen brothers galloped on the horses...

But now, most of them have passed away, and some are standing on the opposite side of the emperor.
