Please, let me be a fool

After saying this, the smile on Zhang Zhengming's face remained the same.

But whoever was present could feel the threat in this speech.

Song Gongwen especially sighed in his heart.The teacher who has always been kind in front of me unexpectedly has such a side.

But this is also a very normal thing. The teacher can stand in the officialdom of the Great Wei for such a long time without falling down. He is deeply trusted by the late emperor, and even the Marquis of Shenwu admires him very much. It is also very normal for him to behave like this.

Neither he nor the several cabinet scholars next to him said anything. Knowing this, let the Tai Tuo handle it.

And they also agreed with what the Taifu said, after all, Tiandu Kingdom provoked and invaded Wei.

Even though King Ah Li has stepped down.

But the accounts that should be settled must also be settled.

At this time, Tiandu Xiangguo's expression was very ugly. He wanted to refute, but it was difficult to find enough excuses.

Those things that King Ah Li did are well known to the whole world, and it seems that they have nothing to do with the present, but even so, they can be regarded as causing harm to Wei, so it is impossible to ignore them, right?
In fact, he knew very well from the beginning that Wei would use this reason to say a few extremely harsh conditions.

So in their hearts, they have accepted this, but now these conditions really make them don't know what to say.

After all, these are to be explained to the people of Tiandu.

"My lord, I know all this."

"Can't we talk about it? For example, the share of the gold mine is too much, can it be reduced? Everything can be discussed." At this time, Tiandu Xiangguo said that the conditions are acceptable, but it is true Too harsh.

As for arguing with reason, he didn't want to. The situation in the country has not yet been completely calmed down.

If he provokes such a terrible enemy as Da Wei again.

The situation ahead will be difficult.

Even if there is a snow-capped mountain, can it really stop Wei's army?

Not to mention other people, the great Wei Wusi protects Yue Ziyi, is both civil and military, and once caused Tiandu all kinds of troubles, which was very troublesome.Even if this person leads the army, those soldiers on the frontier of Tiandu are unable to resist.

So at this time, the most important thing is to appease the other party. Conditions are all negotiable.

"No, since we have listed these conditions, they must have been carefully considered."

"In order to explain to the people of Great Wei and to His Majesty, no matter what."

Zhang Zhengming shook his head, and bit on these.

He is very clear that the current Tiandu is actually afraid of Wei and doesn't want to make enemies.

As for myself, I can use this opportunity to let them make the biggest concession and let Da Wei strive for more benefits.

Tiandu is a rich country with various mines, especially gold mines.Even Zhang Zhengming has coveted these things for a long time. Now that he finally has the opportunity, how could he give up.

At the same time, in his heart, he also admired His Majesty's foresight more and more.

Tiandu is not as good as Wei now, and it seems that he is coming to conclude a covenant.

But in fact, it is just a stopgap measure.

Between two countries, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

This generation, Tiandu and Dawei can fix it, what about the next generation, the next generation?It's hard to tell.

That being the case, it is better to seek more benefits when gaining the upper hand, so as to make Wei stronger and richer. Only when one's own country is stronger, will it be handy when doing anything in the future.

He felt that His Majesty must have thought the same way, that's why he proposed those extremely harsh conditions.

Talking to them about these conditions now, Zhang Zhengming knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for Tiandu to insist.

As long as one's own side pushes hard enough, the other party will always give in.

Because of the current Great Wei.

Both economically and militarily, it was extremely powerful, and in its heyday, the Eastern Continent had no rivals.Those people in Tiandu have opinions in their hearts, so what if they are not convinced?Just hold it in.

So now, he didn't continue to pay attention to Tiandu Xiangguo, but turned his eyes to Ah Qin III.

Ah Qin III frowned tightly, and was also planning in his heart.

As Chen Xuance knew.

He is not a strong and ambitious monarch, and he will not really put Tiandu's interests above his own life.

Otherwise, at that time, he would not have chosen to rebel and bring down King Ah Li who was obviously beneficial to Tian Du. In fact, at that time, Ah Qin III felt the threat to his life.

Now, the domestic situation is unstable, and he has to rely on Wei. As long as he can consolidate his power and save his life, nothing else is important.

It's just that Aqin III still hesitated in his heart, and wanted Chen Xuance to say a few words to him.

But at some point, Chen Xuance just left.
He knew that no one could count on him now.

Therefore, after a short period of thinking, Ah Qin III took a deep breath, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Teacher Zhang is right, since it is a covenant, both parties must show sincerity. Concession, let the previous things be written off."

"As a big country in the East, I can't be stingy in this regard. Therefore, the conditions for concluding the covenant should be dictated by the Grand Tutor. I have no objection to this!"

As soon as these words came out, Tiandu Xiangguo next to him was shocked, a little unbelievable, and wanted to speak.

After all, once these conditions are agreed and the agreement is signed, it almost feels like a loss of power and humiliation to the country.

But he just wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, because now, it seemed that he could only agree to Da Wei.

For today's Great Wei, their national power is strong, there is absolutely no need to help Tiandu.

When Aqin III raised troops to fight against the former King Ali.

Dawei has already given corresponding support.

Let Wu Sidu protect Yue Ziyi's border, so he has already fulfilled his promise. If he wants the other party to choose to support him, he must pay a price. Although the price is a bit high, it can only be so.

And Song Gongwen and others, after hearing this, all smiled, knowing that this negotiation, the Wei side won a big victory.

Zhang Zhengming smiled even more, and hastily bowed to Lord Tiandu and said, "Your Majesty Tiandu's demeanor is really extraordinary, and the ministers admire him. Okay, let's have a drink together for the sake of the covenant we are about to successfully conclude! "

His appearance was completely different from before, which opened the eyes of Song Gongwen and the others.

As for Aqin III, he also lamented the rapid change in the attitude of the Great Wei Taifu.

simply.
However, although my heart was a little bit bitter, I had no choice but to endure it, so I complied with the other party's request and said, "Where, there, it's absurd, but I still want to ask, since we share those gold mines together , there must be a time limit, right?"

There is no time limit, is it still possible for Dawei to share the gold mine of Tiandu for generations.

Even Ah Qin III knew.

There is an old saying in Central Plains that the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time.

But looking at the current appearance of the Great Wei, it will not collapse for at least 100 years in the future
"The time limit, let's say 33 years." Zhang Zhengming thought for a while, and felt that this time was just acceptable to the other party.

Not too long, not too short, just about right.

heard.

Ahqin III exchanged glances with Xiangguo next to him, and said, "Okay, that's the way to go, but I still hope that this covenant can be signed as soon as possible, so..."

"Don't worry, the foreign ministers are going to request His Majesty's orders now!" Zhang Zhengming nodded, knowing that it should not be too late.

Afterwards, he took Song Gongwen and left the banquet hall together.

"teacher."

"Shall we go to see His Majesty now?"

On the way, Song Gongwen was in a good mood. After all, this time, he won great benefits for Wei.

He knew that those few gold mines, although not the largest in Tiandu, produced a considerable amount of gold every year, [-]%, which could bring a huge extra income to Wei.

This money can be used for many things in Wei, and there is no need to worry about the treasury running out of money.

And he also felt that this was a major matter, and he should report it to His Majesty face to face.

However, after Zhang Zhengming heard these words, he shook his head: "Aqin III must hope that the covenant will be signed as soon as possible, so that he can feel at ease, but we will not let him do what he wants, so let him Wait a little longer, so let's directly write a memorial and submit it to His Majesty, and come back after His Majesty's reply, it's okay to delay a little longer."

It will take at least an hour to come and go, but so what?
Dawei can afford energy consumption completely, but Tiandu is the one who can't.

It is best to make the other party anxious.

"Sure enough, the teacher is far-sighted." Hearing this, Song Gongwen was extremely impressed.

If it were me, I would definitely think that the sooner the better, what if Ah Qin III repents, but after thinking about it carefully, the other party will definitely not be like this, after all, he still needs to borrow the power of Great Wei.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not agree to the teacher's resignation, so that I can learn more from the teacher.

"In the game between the two countries, sometimes every second counts, but sometimes, there is no rush." ​​Zhang Zhengming smiled, and then came to Wenhua Palace with Song Gongwen to write notes together.

After finishing these, let someone present it to His Majesty.

It's still early, and His Majesty will definitely deal with it immediately.

the other side.

Wei Yunyi and Zhao Lingying are still working on the memorial.

But most of the time, Wei Yunyi just sat on the side slumped, and almost didn't care about it.

Many memorials were handled by Concubine Ying herself, and there was no difficulty.

After all, the big things have been done, and some small things don't need to be asked for instructions.

"Your Majesty, empress!"

But at this time, Wang Jin came in from the outside, took out a memorial, and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, Madam, this is the memorial just presented by the Taifu and the head of the country, and it seems to be related to Tiandu's conclusion of the covenant. It is said that His Majesty should deal with it immediately."

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi frowned tightly, but quickly relaxed it.

If this matter goes on for a long time, he may become more worried, afraid that Ah Qin III will really agree.

But now that there is news so soon, it is obvious that the other party may be irritated by those extra conditions.

Those two people are presenting the memorial now, it must be because they don't know how to deal with it, so they deliberately report to themselves.

At that moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked Wang Jin to deliver the memorial, but he did not open it, but handed it to Zhao Lingying, saying: "My concubine, just take a look, what is written in this memorial. "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Ying bowed slightly, then took the memorial and glanced at it roughly.

Soon, she stretched her eyebrows, and with a sweet smile on her face, she knelt on one knee and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Taifu and the head of the state said in the memorial that Ah Qin III has agreed to all of us. Therefore, the two adults would like to ask His Majesty to decree and approve the conclusion of the covenant!"

"what?"

this moment.

Wei Yunyi was stunned, and stood up directly, his eyes full of astonishment.

Aqin III, he... He actually agreed to such a harsh condition, some conditions that humiliate the country and humiliate the country, the other party actually agreed.
"This" he didn't know what to say, he picked up the memorial directly, and looked at it carefully.Sure enough, as Concubine Ying said, Ah Qin III fully approved of those conditions.

Wei Yunyi knew very well that the Taifu and the old man would never dare to lie about this.

But why did the other party agree?
Doesn't he know what that means?How can I explain to the ministers of Tiandu and the people of Tiandu at that time?
"Your Majesty." At this time, Concubine Ying walked forward and said, "Now our Great Wei is rich and powerful, and it is in its heyday. Presumably Ah Qin III is also intimidated by the majesty of our Great Wei, so dare not disagree."

"After all, he needs to rely on my great Wei to stabilize the domestic situation, and he doesn't want to make enemies with my great Wei. This Ah Qin III is a character, and he knows how to advance and retreat."

These words made Wei Yunyi's heart tremble suddenly.

Yes, I almost forgot that the current Great Wei has become stronger and stronger during this period of time.

Although Tiandu is also a big country, it has already been left behind, and Aqin III has just come to power, so if he wants to stabilize the power in his hands, he may choose to agree to even some harsh conditions.

I can bear it!

Wei Yunyi couldn't help but sigh, this Aqin III has deep thoughts.

Since that's the case, then I'd like to see how far and how long you can endure it!
At this point in his thoughts, he stood up directly and slapped the memorial directly on the table: "No, absolutely not, I have already said, I have to increase the price on these conditions, and increase the price! How can [-]% of the year be enough, I want [-]%, yes, It is [-]%, and at the same time, how do I know that Ah Qin III will fulfill the above conditions after signing the covenant?"

"So, we need to send an army of our Great Wei to garrison these gold mines, and at the same time open up trade in these gold mine areas, so that our merchants from the Great Wei can enter. Also, how long is 33 years? Add, add to me By 99."

"Tell the Taifu and the head of the state that they must do what they want. As long as Aqin III agrees, they can sign the covenant directly on behalf of me."

"If you don't agree, then let Ah Qin III take the ministers under him and leave tomorrow!"

"Wang Jin, you go and deliver the decree to the two of you, go now!"
