Liu Chan looked at the civil and military ministers in the main hall, all of them were excited, but when he turned around, he found that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang looked calm, and the imperial censor Xu Shu was also calm.
Wang Su looked panicked.
It seems that this mission will only return in vain.
"Your Majesty!"
While the ministers were noisy, Wei Yan suddenly saluted Liu Chan and said: "Please kill this Cao Wei traitor quickly. I, the Han Dynasty, both civil and military, will fight to the death and will never stand against the traitor."
"Yes!"
Other courtiers followed and echoed: "Your Majesty, General Wei is right. Han and traitors are not at odds with each other, so we must not agree to them. Your Majesty, kill him."
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
This completely frightened Wang Su, and big beads of sweat on his forehead suddenly covered his pale face.
The courtiers in the main hall were a little angry, and Liu Chan was also a little excited. He just wanted to follow the advice of all the civil and military officials and kill the historical grandfather of Emperor Wu of Jin.
However, at this time, Xu Shu, the imperial censor, suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the two armies are fighting without killing the envoys. I am a great Han Dynasty, and naturally I will not be as ignorant of etiquette as Cao Wei."<
/p>
Xu Shu stood up and spoke at this time, which surprised everyone.
He previously served in Cao Wei, and now he has just joined the Han Dynasty. If he says this now, is he still looking towards Cao Wei?
Just when other ministers were about to attack Xu Shu, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang also echoed: "Your Majesty, what Yuan Zhi said is absolutely true. If the two armies are fighting, they will not kill the envoys. At this time, the two countries are not at war, so they cannot be killed.
Envoy."
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the main hall immediately gave up attacking Xu Shu and retreated to the side.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and Wang Su also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Shu Han still has two sensible ministers. If not, my life will be at stake today.
The tense atmosphere eased slightly, and Liu Chan stopped talking, waiting quietly for Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu to see what else they would say. After all, this is a big matter, and it would be more appropriate to let them make the decision.
Seeing that Liu Chan didn't say anything, Zhuge Liang turned around and asked Wang Su: "Your Majesty said that your lord wants to make peace with me, a big man, but I don't know how to make peace with him. You might as well tell me and wait for a while, which will save your Majesty from traveling a long distance."<
/p>
When Zhuge Liang asked this question, Wang Su was immediately overjoyed.
People say that Zhuge is very resourceful, but now I find that this statement is indeed true. He is willing to listen to the method of cultivation, and maybe there is still room for this trip.
Wang Su first saluted Liu Chan, then saluted Zhuge Liang, and said: "If the Han Dynasty is willing to cease the war, my lord, as a sign of sincerity, will not only transfer the land of Yongliang to the Han Dynasty, but also marry the late emperor's only daughter, Princess Dongxiang.
With Your Majesty, we have established a harmonious relationship between the two countries."
Hiss——
This stunned everyone.
It seems that Cao Rui really spent a lot of money this time. In order to temporarily reconcile with the big man, he actually used his sister to form an in-law relationship with the big man.
All of Cao Wei's trump cards were revealed.
Now the choice is in the hands of the big man.
Zhuge Liang immediately smiled and said: "I am a big man who already knows your lord's sincerity. Your envoy might as well go to the post to rest first and allow my lord to discuss it before replying to your envoy."
Zhuge Liang did not immediately veto it, Wang Su was naturally very happy, so he hurriedly turned to Liu Chan and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The foreign ministers will retire."
As soon as Wang Su left, the civil and military affairs in the main hall immediately exploded.
Shang Shulang Qiao Zhou took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other, and the royal family is not in harmony. This is the legacy of the late emperor, and marriage between Han and Wei is absolutely unacceptable."
"Qiao Shangshu's words are reasonable," Wei Yan echoed: "Your Majesty is the emperor, how can you marry the daughter of a traitor who has usurped the Han Dynasty?"
"Hahaha!" As soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, Xu Shu, the imperial censor, burst into laughter and said, "General Wei's words are reasonable, but..." He paused suddenly before saying, "I am a big man. We first captured Guanzhong. Among the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei is still strong. If we do not accept Cao Wei's peace proposal, we, the Han Dynasty, will have difficulty finding a chance to recuperate. If Cao Wei wants to capture Guanzhong, he will continue to send troops to invade..."
Hearing this, Liu Chan nodded slightly.
The other civil and military ministers were also silent.
Because although the Han Dynasty won three great victories in the Battle of Guanzhong, it was also because of this that he forced Cao Rui to trade his sister for some rest time.
Cao Wei needs time, but doesn’t the Han Dynasty need time to recuperate?
After two years of fighting in Guanzhong, the Han Dynasty suffered a huge loss. At this time, the Han Dynasty had not yet left Tongguan east to compete with Cao Wei.
Xu Shu went on to say: "If we accept Cao Wei's call for a truce, we, the Han, will have a chance to breathe. We can take this opportunity to recuperate and develop our national strength. In just a few years, we, the Han, will surely have strong troops and horses. Then we can march east out of Tongguan. War can determine the world."
"What Yuan Zhi said is true!" Zhuge Liang agreed: "Although the Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other, in order to unify the world, why not temporarily make peace with Cao and Wei."
After speaking, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty has the authority to accept Cao Wei's marriage alliance and seek peace, so as to gain a rare opportunity for the Han to recuperate."
Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu sang in harmony, and Liu Chan naturally understood what they meant.
As for the incompatibility between Han and traitors, the ancients really cared about it.
But Liu Chan is a time traveler, and he cares more about the final result.
He is now the emperor of the Han Dynasty. As long as the world eventually returns to the Han Dynasty instead of to the Jin Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with shaking hands with Cao Wei for a short time and making peace.
In the main hall, the Han courtiers were discussing the final decision on whether to make a temporary peace with Cao Wei.
Wang Su, who left the palace and returned to the posthouse, was not at all calm.
He is no stranger to Chang'an.
Before the Battle of Guanzhong, he also visited Guanzhong and Chang'an.
But this time he saw a different Chang'an.
The market was busier, and there were also Han army sergeants, which was very different from what he had imagined before.
The military appearance is neat and the morale is very high.
As for the other purpose of his trip, to explore the Han Dynasty's new powerful crossbow, no progress was made because no one, whether it was the people of Chang'an or the officials of the post office, knew what this weapon looked like.
Of course, it was just his side mission to find out about this big man's new type of crossbow.
His main task is to achieve the marriage between Han and Wei and cease the war.
But in the Weiyang Palace, the reaction of the Han courtiers made him still uneasy, even though Zhuge Liang agreed to discuss it before telling him the answer.
Can Zhuge Liang really convince the Han monarchs and ministers to accept the armistice between Wei and Han?
He's not sure.
Wait——
All he can do now is wait.
We have to wait until Liu Chan summons him again.
......
AD 231, the 22nd day of the first month.
Wang Su, who had been waiting for several days, began to worry that his mission might not be completed because the emperor and ministers of the Han Dynasty discussed the matter for so long and still did not make a decision.
I'm afraid it wasn't Zhuge Liang who said they would discuss it before, but it was just a delaying tactic.
Just when Wang Su was anxious, Liu Chan summoned him to the palace again.
Wang Su entered Weiyang Palace somewhat nervously.
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Su saluted and asked, "I wonder, Your Majesty..."
Before Wang Su could finish speaking, Liu Chan smiled and said: "Han and Wei will cease fighting and give the people of both countries a chance to recuperate. Of course I can agree, but..."
Wang Su immediately tensed up when he heard Liu Chan's words.
I, the great Wei, are willing to marry the princess to you, what else do you want?
Don't go too far.
Da Wei wants to make peace with you, but he’s not really afraid of you.
Liu Chan looked at Wang Su, smiled and said, "If you want me to accept the peace negotiation, you still need to accept one of my conditions."
Hiss——
Wang Su was stunned and asked: "I wonder what other conditions your Majesty has?"
......
