"The person who came to knock him out of the hall!"

At the order of the eunuch, the imperial guards on both sides of the palace immediately stood up, waiting for the final order of Emperor Mikhail, which instantly dropped the atmosphere of negotiations to freezing point. The nervous Genoa envoys also subconsciously leaned against each other, fearing that the two sides would really cause conflict and cause disaster. Many people even complained that Andrea Doria was too young after all and did not know the importance of his words.

After dealing with these Greeks in front of them for many years, the Genoese knew very well that the other party’s orthodox valuation of imperial power was not at the same level than their city-state republics. Even though Epirus was just a separatist, since the two countries decided to reach an alliance, they should be decent and should give it to each other. These are the negative scales that touched the other party, and it is difficult to say whether the negotiations could continue.

However, beyond everyone's expectations, Emperor Mikhail, who should have been angry, raised his hand and stepped back the guards who were about to step forward, looked at Andrea Doria calmly and asked, "How do you say this? There is no direct conflict of interest... Is there any difference between you and Bulgaria? Do I have any concerns about my allies?"

"Of course you should have this concern. Unlike us, Bulgaria has only been divided from the Empire for twenty years. In a sense, they are just separatist rebels of the Empire. If there is an opportunity at hand, would the Bulgarians really not interested in the crown of Constantinople at all? And Sophia seems to be closer to Constantinople than you. If you do not have our help, then you will have to choose land to enter the Constantinople Empire.

I want to be able to feel at ease when you want to be the only allies like the Bulgarians guarding you on your march, can you really feel at ease?" Andrea said incisively, analyzing the situation in front of him cleanly. If Justinian was also present, he would be shocked by his prophet of the uncertainty, because Epirus was in a slump in later generations, and when he was one step away from Constantinople, he turned against Bulgaria and was seriously injured. He lost the opportunity to enter Constantinople.

Finally, Mikhail Ducas's face changed slightly. He had not realized this before. Thinking about it at this moment really made him worried. He could not say that he trusted Bulgaria, but just wanted to use the other party, but if it was really as the young Genoese in front of him said, then if he had a skin to the tiger, the conditions proposed by the Genoese would be nothing.

Looking at Constellation, who was calm and composed, Emperor Mikhail said meaningfully: "Your Excellency really has an amazing nephew. This is my eyes open."

"You are so mischievous. Come back, Andrea. Now that I see this, I think the negotiations between us should be able to continue, His Majesty Mikhail!" After accepting the other party's praise, Constance suggested, and the atmosphere of negotiations was much easier at this moment.

Mikhail nodded, but did not continue to be tough. His attitude finally relaxed a little. He nodded and said, "Except for the Black Sea navigation, other conditions can be discussed. After all, Constantinople is not in my hands. It is too early to talk about these things."

His words fell into Constantoria's ears with obvious other meanings. The old man smiled playfully and nodded immediately: "Since His Majesty has said that, we are naturally not going to make things difficult for us anymore. We are willing to make some concessions on the issue of Galata."

"Mr. Doria!"

The Black Sea affairs were the top priority of this mission. The other Genoan nobles did not expect Constance, the host of this mission, to give up so neatly. They were about to say something to stop them, but the old man stopped them with his eyes. This made them puzzled, but they still held them back.

"Very good. Since this is the case, you can discuss other things slowly. As long as the matter is accomplished, your country will help me ascend to the throne of Constantinople. The empire will definitely thank you very much. It has been getting late for so long, so let's go here for now. Come and send Genoese messengers to rest first, and other things will be discussed tomorrow." Seeing that the Genoese were not pressing step by step, Mikhail understood that the old fox in front of him had already understood the implicit sound of his just now, so he ordered the people below to prepare to arrange Genoese messengers to go out to rest. Constance had no objection to this. Then, under the leadership of the palace servants, the Genoese messenger, who was still a little confused about what was going on, was taken out of the palace together to the embassy to prepare to settle down.

Along the way, almost everyone was confused, but only Andrea Doria followed his uncle, his heart was as clear as a mirror.

"Do you don't want to ask me why, Andrea?" Constance asked at a glance at his nephew, seemingly carelessly.

And with a low voice, Andrea shook his head calmly and said, "Emperor Mikhail had already made it very clear just now, so naturally there is no need to ask anymore."

"Oh, how do you say it?" The old man pretended to be an accident, and was actually competing for his nephew.

Andrea Doria did live up to Constance's expectations and said: "He only said that he would not give up the right to sail in the Black Sea, but he did not mention the cedent of the Galata District, which means that his attitude was a little shaken. Since his uncle's goal has been achieved, it would be no longer difficult to lure the man to surrender." The Galata District guarded the strait. Once they really controlled there, the entry and exit of the Black Sea would be unobstructed, and the so-called right of passage would be unnecessary. The Emperor Mikhail actually missed such an important thing in the negotiations just now. If it weren't for a bad memory, it would have done it intentionally. So Andrea concluded that his uncle's goal of leaving him so happily was probably achieved.

After hearing this, the old man looked at his nephew with praise, smiled and said, "It's really you! You can be so capable at such a young age. It seems that you may be able to take over my old bones in a few years."
