Chapter 188 The Ten Major Terms of the Peace Negotiation, Your Majesty, the Wei Dynasty is really
Making crazy money
soon.
The Ministry of Rites of the Great Wei Dynasty sent people to notify envoys from various countries.
When they heard that Xu Qingxiao had chosen an inn as the venue for the meeting, all the envoys were a little angry.
Since ancient times, where have peace talks been held in inns? How much do you look down on us?
Some people were furious and wanted to get angry, but when they saw the officials from the Ministry of Justice brought by the Ministry of Rites, none of them dared to speak.
There is no way, we can't defeat the Wei Dynasty in the national war, and now we are on other people's territory. Even if there are ten million reluctances in our hearts, so what?
Frustrated, right?
It's okay to feel frustrated.
They arranged the location to an inn. This is Chi Guoguo's humiliation to you.
There is no nonsense. After the notice from the Ministry of Rites came down, basically no face was given to the various countries, and they were driven away to the inn like they were chasing ducks.
As for the location of the inn, it is really just a relatively ordinary inn.
But at this moment, outside the inn, everyone is the common people of the Wei Dynasty.
Everyone heard that Xu Qingxiao was going to negotiate at this inn, so naturally they were very excited and wanted to hear how Xu Qingxiao negotiated.
And it was also shocking that Xu Qingxiao actually put this kind of thing on the surface. This was the first time in the world.
Compared with the crowds outside the inn, it was much quieter inside the inn. After all, envoys from hundreds of countries were coming here to negotiate, so the common people naturally did not dare to come in for fear of causing trouble.
When the shopkeeper heard about this, he was so frightened that if it hadn't been for the various persuasion from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment, he would not have dared to take on this job.
But no matter what, the innkeeper still came over, and the waiter of the inn put the tables together and arranged them neatly.
On the table, there are some things like melon seeds and peanuts, but the rest are left alone. In the words of Mr. Xu, if you want to add something, you have to pay.
When this meaning was revealed, the people outside all burst into laughter, feeling an indescribable sense of pride and pride.
"Here comes, people come, envoys from various countries are coming."
"Look, this is Chen Guo's envoy."
"There are also envoys from Silong Kingdom."
"The envoy from Qihamu is also here."
As the voices rang out one after another, the people began to boil, because the envoys from various countries arrived. They lowered their heads and faced the shouts of the people in Kyoto, and they were all ashamed.
He was so stunned that he didn't dare to raise his head.
In fact, a large part of the reason why the people gathered here was because they wanted to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Punishment issued an order not to allow the people to do this.
It's not that it gives face to these envoys, but it affects the appearance of the city and the dignity of the Wei Dynasty.
The inn was instantly crowded. There were more than 400 envoys from various countries in total. These were the more famous vassal states of the Wei Dynasty. Some of the vassal states were just small tribes, with maybe one or two thousand people calling themselves a country.
.
There is no need to come to such a country, just go back and make an announcement.
Just focus on these 400 dependent countries.
When the envoys arrived one after another, the envoys from the Tuxie Dynasty arrived last.
Yelumu's expression was very calm, he was not angry, but Yuta, the general of the Tuxie Dynasty, had a gloomy face all the time.
They are the prime ministers and generals of the Tuxie Dynasty. Logically speaking, they are qualified to speak even if they meet the Empress of Wei.
But what they didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao actually asked them to come to the inn for talks?
If Xu Qingxiao hadn't set up a private room for them, Youta would never have come.
But even if it was Yajian, Yuta didn't intend to come over at first, and was completely held back by Yelumu.
This incident happened because of them. Although the main responsibility is not on them but on Emperor Tuxie, the problem is, how can they dare to say anything wrong about the emperor?
You can only consider yourself unlucky.
Who makes himself a bitch?
So the purpose of coming here is to resolve the matter, not to have a fearless quarrel here.
The two walked into the inn.
Although they kept a low profile when facing Da Wei, when they looked at the alien nation in the inn, their demeanor and eyes suddenly changed drastically.
His eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
Contempt from above, and contempt from the heart.
In their eyes, these foreign countries are not even ants.
Tu Xie regarded the Wei Dynasty as an enemy, but he never thought that Tu Xie could not defeat the Wei Dynasty. It was just an influence of the situation. Without the Chu Yuan Dynasty, it would have been easy to destroy the Wei Dynasty.
Naturally, what are these foreign countries? They are just like dogs.
"Prime Minister Yelu."
"You're here too."
Someone stood up. It was an envoy from the Silong Kingdom. He looked at Yelumu flatteringly and said hello.
But facing the other party's greeting, Yelumu's eyes became even colder.
He didn't know this person at all, what a miscellany.
The two of them went straight upstairs to the private room without looking back, and stayed with this group of people. They just felt sick and uncomfortable.
Seeing Yelumu and Yuta leave, the envoy from Silong Kingdom suddenly felt embarrassed. He lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, the noise finally sounded from outside.
"Master Xu is here."
"Master Xu is here."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Master Xu is coming."
There was a buzz of people, and for a while, even the envoys from various countries in the inn couldn't help but look over.
not far away.
Xu Qingxiao walked slowly, followed by Chen Zhengru, the Minister of Personnel, Wang Xinzhi, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Jing, the Minister of War, and Gu Yan, the Minister of Hubu, including An Guogong and Lu Guogong, and behind them were hundreds of Beijing soldiers, one by one.
It looked murderous.
Negotiate and lead troops?
Suddenly, everyone knew what this meant. What Xu Qingxiao meant was that if we can agree on something, it's easy to talk about it, but if we can't, don't leave.
"Master Xu is mighty!"
"Master Xu, we must punish these foreign countries."
"Get out of the way quickly, don't block my way, Master Xu."
When Xu Qingxiao appeared, the people were extremely excited. Voices rang out one after another. Some people even blocked the way and were immediately scolded by all kinds of curses.
Xu Qingxiao's prestige in the Wei Dynasty is now, to be honest, even higher than that of the emperor.
Such a scene made all the ministers and princes smile awkwardly. After all, standing next to Xu Qingxiao, it was really a bit gloomy.
But it doesn't matter, Wei really needs a new blood.
Facing the people like this, Xu Qingxiao bowed her hands towards the people.
"Everyone, I will be negotiating here later. Don't make too much noise, lest people say that we, the Wei Dynasty, don't know etiquette."
Xu Qingxiao said with a smile, asking the people to be quiet for a while and not to make too much noise.
As soon as he said this, the people laughed and responded.
Soon, Xu Qingxiao walked into the inn, and the owner of the inn came over in person and bowed respectfully to Xu Qingxiao and all the ministers.
"The shopkeeper is very polite."
"Borrow the money spent in your shop, and the court will pay you back later."
"But remember, these foreign countries come to bring food and drink, and they have to pay for it. This cannot be counted towards the imperial court."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously. As soon as he said this, the people outside couldn't help laughing.
Xu Qingxiao's work is indeed in line with the taste of the people, but he has to be so fussy. These foreign tribes are usually too used to it.
"Don't worry, sir. I understand, little one."
The shopkeeper laughed sarcastically.
Xu Qingxiao glanced at the envoys from various countries, and then looked at Chen Zhengru, Wang Xinzhi and others.
"Gentlemen, let's go up and talk to the Tuxie envoy first."
Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and asked everyone for their opinions.
"Okay, you can make the decision."
"Your Majesty lets you make a choice, and I will listen to you."
Everyone spoke, His Majesty had decreed that Xu Qingxiao should be in charge of this negotiation. They were just here to calm down the situation, and any decision would be made by Xu Qingxiao.
After receiving everyone's answers, Xu Qingxiao didn't waste any time and walked directly upstairs.
This negotiation must be done with the big shots first, and these small characters should be put aside for now.
When he went upstairs, Xu Qingxiao's eyes were calm. Wang Xinzhi had already informed him about the affairs of the Chu Yuan Dynasty, so Xu Qingxiao was sure of this negotiation.
Inn elegant room.
Yerumu and Youta sat quietly, Yerumu still looked calm, while Youta looked sulky and extremely unhappy.
But at this moment, as the footsteps of Xu Qingxiao and others sounded, Yelumu suddenly came back to his senses. He glanced at Yuta, who also restrained his displeasure, and then waited for Xu Qingxiao.
Not long after.
The door of the private room opened, and Xu Qingxiao walked in first, followed by An Guogong and Lu Guogong, followed by the four ministers.
"Yelumu, I have met Mr. Xu, the two princes, and all the ministers."
As the Prime Minister of Tuxie, how could Yelumu not know the identity of the other party? He suddenly had a smile on his face and bowed to everyone, showing his courtesy.
As for Jutta, he bowed his hand and regarded it as having met.
"Xu, I have met Prime Minister Yelu and General Youta."
"Oh, there is really no other way. The Wei Dynasty has this condition and the treasury has no money, so we can only arrange to meet in this place. You two won't be angry, right?"
Xu Qingxiao smiled and returned the favor, and at the same time specifically asked the two of them if they would be angry.
As soon as he said this, Yuta's mood became even more complicated. Could he not lie so directly? No matter how poor Wei was, he wouldn't be able to arrange a restaurant like this, right?
It's just that he didn't say much. He had already come and there was no need to quarrel over this kind of thing.
As for Yelumu, he smiled and said.
"No, no, this is good, at least it's quiet."
"Everyone, please take your seats quickly."
"I'll ask someone to serve some good wine and food."
Yelumu said with a smile, entertaining Xu Qingxiao and others, but those who didn't know thought this place was Tuxie.
"Prime Minister Yelu, let's forget about the food and wine. After all, the treasury will be empty."
Xu Qingxiao said with a sad look on her face.
But this expression was extremely unpleasant in Yuta's eyes, but he still didn't say anything.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Your Majesty gave me some money when I came here this time. I can still afford the food and drinks."
Yelumu laughed and said, keeping his composure and not being disgusted by Xu Qingxiao.
"Okay, if that's the case, then Xu won't be particular about it."
"Xiaoer, go to Taohua Temple and ask their people to prepare the best food, regardless of the price. Prime Minister Yelu will pay for it and bring the best. Say it's Xu's wish."
Since the other party insisted on treating him, Xu Qingxiao was not polite and asked the waiter to go to Taohua Temple.
This operation immediately stunned several ministers and Dukes.
Good guy, it’s okay to invite people to a place like this for a meal. If they treat you later, you can just go to another restaurant and order food.
It’s you, Xu Qingxiao, who is so sexy.
Good means.
Chen Zhengru and others naturally didn't think anything of it. They sat down slowly. After all, they were here to accompany them this time, mainly to hold the show, and left all the rest to Xu Qingxiao.
But facing Xu Qingxiao's method, Yelumu could still keep his composure. To put it bluntly, how much money can we have for food? Is one thousand taels enough? Is not three thousand taels enough?
No one thinks that Prime Minister Tuxie can't afford the money, right?
After asking Xu Qingxiao and others to sit down, Prime Minister Tuxie stopped talking nonsense.
Let’s get straight to the point.
"Sir Xu, it's like this. A few days ago, Tuxie declared war on the Wei Dynasty. In fact, he was deceived by Chen Guo, and we didn't investigate clearly, so it became so stiff."
"My Lord, Tuxie, has investigated the cause and effect. Wei is not at fault in this matter, and Tuxie and Wei are on good terms. Your Majesty does not want the relationship between the two countries to be affected because of the instigation of villains."
"So, can this declaration of war end here?"
"Of course, to show sincerity, the Tuxie Dynasty is willing to assist the Wei Dynasty to scare these young people, which can also be regarded as giving peace to the Wei Dynasty."
Yelumu went straight to the point without any mincing words.
He was willing to negotiate peace and even offered conditions to help Wei suppress these evils.
As soon as these words were said, the four ministers and the Duke couldn't help but feel happy. They didn't care about the Tuxie Dynasty sending troops to assist, but what they really cared about was the attitude of the Tuxie Dynasty.
Originally, these foreign countries were looking at the Tuxie Dynasty, hoping that the Tuxie Dynasty would help them. Now that the Tuxie Dynasty has turned its back on them, these foreign countries will definitely bear their grudges.
This is a good thing for the Wei Dynasty. At the same time, the Tuxie Dynasty has expressed its stance, so when the time comes, you can control them however you want.
This is pretty good.
When talking about this, everyone was very satisfied, but Xu Qingxiao shook her head.
"No no no!"
"How can the declaration of war be just a matter of change? Xu knows that the Wei Dynasty is indeed in ruins, but he dares to say this. The national power of Wei is indeed not as good as Tuxie."
"But since we, the Wei Dynasty, have declared war, we will never let it go like this. Otherwise, wouldn't Wei Wei's declaration of war become a joke?"
"The public opinion of the Wei Dynasty has condensed into a dragon. There will be no such morale next time."
"Furthermore, the Tuxie Dynasty keeps saying that it is provoked by villains, but Xu wants to ask, if someone says something about Wei Wei next time, will the Tuxie Dynasty declare war again?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke, and everyone was stunned by what he said.
The Tuxie Dynasty's declaration of war was indeed a bit excessive, but now that the other party has come for peace talks, and is willing to help the Wei Dynasty suppress foreign countries, this is already a huge benefit to the Wei Dynasty.
But I didn't expect Xu Qingxiao to be so aggressive. Looking at this posture, Xu Qingxiao didn't come to negotiate peace with the Tuxie Dynasty.
This is to ask for benefits from the Tuxie Dynasty.
Damn it.
hiss!
The four ministers and the two princes were a little frightened.
Xu Qingxiao is a real tiger.
This is something they didn't even think about.
"But you guys did massacre the city."
At this moment, General Juta spoke up. He looked at Xu Qingxiao and said these words without hesitation.
He had been extremely unhappy since he arrived in Dawei. Now that he was arranged to go to this restaurant to discuss such a big matter, he felt even more that Xu Qingxiao was insulting and humiliating him.
If it weren't for His Majesty's will, he would never have peace talks with Xu Qingxiao here.
The worst case scenario is to fight. Is Tuxie really afraid of Wei?
Bang!
The next moment, Xu Qingxiao slapped the table and glared at Youta.
"Then when the Northern Barbarians massacred my people in the Wei Dynasty, why didn't your Tuxie Dynasty stand up?"
"Why didn't your Tuxie Dynasty accuse the barbarians? Why didn't you declare war on the barbarians?"
"Fart here?"
Xu Qingxiao's voice was loud, and she looked at Yuta with cold eyes, even showing murderous intent.
As soon as he said this, Yuta was a little speechless, but his eyes became a little cold.
Just for an instant, the faces of the four ministers and the two princes also became gloomy at this moment, and they looked at Yuta with cold eyes.
"Be bold!"
Duke An Guo roared loudly, like a lion's roar, and looked at Yuta with murderous intent in his eyes.
Damn it, how dare you be so arrogant in the territory of Wei Dynasty? Regardless of whether Xu Qingxiao is right or wrong, you, a damn general Tuxie, dare to show such a look in front of so many of us.
You want to die, right?
An Guogong stood up directly. His eyes were murderous, making people feel that he was going to take action and kill Yuta at the next moment.
The scene suddenly became tense.
"Everyone, don't be angry, don't be angry."
"Yota! You still haven't apologized to Mr. Xu."
Yelumu first spoke out to smooth things over, then looked at Yuta fiercely and asked him to apologize.
It's not that he doesn't favor his own people.
But this is the Wei Dynasty, and it is their territory. There is really no need to be so arrogant. Besides, who are you facing?
It's Xu Qingxiao.
Yelumu knew this guy's deeds very well. He had just been studying for a month, and he was angry with the great Confucian. As soon as he came to Kyoto, he made a big fuss in the Ministry of Punishment, and then beheaded the king of the county.
It can be said that Xu Qingxiao is a variable. You have no idea what Xu Qingxiao is thinking. If you think about Xu Qingxiao using common sense, then you can wait to die.
He was really afraid. If Xu Qingxiao got hot and killed the two of them, what would happen if he turned around and declared war? Who would suffer? It wasn't the two of them.
If Tuxie loses the battle, or if the Chu Yuan Dynasty steals the dynasty, then the two of them will be even worse, and they will probably be whipped to death by Emperor Tuxie.
So I can only endure it.
Facing Yelumu's rebuke, Youta became even more angry, but seeing Yelumu's cold gaze, Youta finally took a deep breath and suppressed all his anger.
"It's my fault, I hope you can forgive me."
Jutta opened his mouth. His words were already the biggest concession.
"snort."
Xu Qingxiao snorted coldly, then looked at An Guogong and nodded. The latter also slowly sat down and restrained his murderous intent.
At this time, Yelumu's voice sounded.
"Then according to Mr. Xu's wishes, how can we negotiate peace?"
Yelumu asked.
This problem needs to be solved no matter what, and there is nothing more than paying a price. As long as the Tuxie Dynasty can accept it, everything will be easy.
After all, the Tuxie Dynasty is now riding a tiger and is in a difficult position.
Let's fight? It's not that we can't beat you, but that the Chu Yuan Dynasty is watching eagerly. If we really fight, will the Chu Yuan Dynasty let you go to the Tuxie Dynasty?
Will the Tuxie Dynasty become the next Wei Dynasty?
So I have no choice but not to fight, but you can't even offer conditions that are impossible to agree to.
All countries have dignity. If you go too far, the Tuxie Dynasty will not agree.
If you are really anxious, just fight. If the Chu Yuan Dynasty is dragged down again, no one will be able to think about it. At worst, we will all be destroyed.
This is the difficulty of this peace negotiation.
We can't suffer big losses, but we still need peace talks, and they should be decent peace talks.
Yelumu felt a lot of pressure and just hoped that Xu Qingxiao would not impose any conditions.
Speaking of this, Xu Qingxiao was not ambiguous.
He looked at Yelumu and spoke slowly.
"Three conditions."
"First, the Tuxie Dynasty does not need to help the Wei Dynasty to quell the chaos, but the Tuxie Dynasty must issue an edict to strongly condemn this matter, condemn the behavior of the foreign country, and withdraw all sales in the foreign country. It will not be allowed for a hundred years.
Merchants from the Tuxie Dynasty went to foreign countries to do business."
"Of course, I, the Wei Dynasty, will also station troops at the border and will not allow foreign countries to go to the Tuxie Dynasty to do business. This will protect the safety of the merchants of the Tuxie Dynasty and prevent this kind of thing from happening again. How about that?"
Xu Qingxiao made her first request.
As soon as he said this, Yelumu suddenly frowned. Not only him, but also the ministers and the two princes were a little curious. What kind of condition is this? Suppress Tuxie merchants? This is not necessary, after all, Tuxie merchants
Don't rely on foreign countries to make money.
However, Gu Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, somewhat understood something, but still couldn't understand it.
"This is acceptable!"
Yelumu thought for a while, and then agreed directly. This condition was indeed nothing.
Although it is true that some businessmen in the Tuxie Dynasty suffered some losses, it is not a big problem. To be honest, businessmen in foreign countries are also clamoring to come back. Money is good, but life is more important.
This can be agreed to.
Hearing the other party's promise, Xu Qingxiao nodded immediately.
His condition is not as simple as it seems on the surface. He wants to completely solve the rebellion problem of the major foreign countries once and for all.
As soon as the Tuxie merchants evacuate, Xu Qingxiao will immediately deploy a large number of Wei merchants to control the eating, drinking, and drinking of all the people in the foreign country. If this happens, something similar will happen again.
Before the attack, cut off food, water and resources directly. There is no need to rely on siege. Just besiege your city and see how long you can supply it?
Moreover, once you dare to collect grain, these merchants will notice it immediately and report it to the Wei Dynasty. They will immediately send people to investigate. If they find that there is such a phenomenon, they will arrest your monarch and ask him about it.
If there is a problem, just cut it down and see if you are still arrogant.
The Tuxie Dynasty agreed to the first condition.
Xu Qingxiao continued to state the second condition.
"Second, since this time is a misunderstanding, the Wei Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty will continue to maintain good relations, so Xu hopes that the Tuxie Dynasty will establish a court chamber of commerce and have good relations with the Wei Dynasty. The two sides will trade with each other and maintain long-term trade with each other.
, Whatever preferential treatment and benefits the Tuxie Dynasty gave them, the Wei Dynasty also gave them whatever preferential treatment and benefits they had. In this way, it can be regarded as a friendly witness, and the people of the Wei Dynasty will not be too angry. "
"Otherwise, Xu can't guarantee whether the people will calm down their anger?"
Xu Qingxiao said the second condition.
To trade with each other, each established a court chamber of commerce.
Yelumu's eyes lit up when he said this. This is a good thing. Although some of the national power of the Wei Dynasty has declined, the Wei Dynasty is still the Wei Dynasty after all. Businessmen from each other do business with each other and promote economic development. Yelumu cannot possibly not know this truth.
.
So this is not a loss, but a good thing. It is indeed a good thing for everyone to be honest with each other and make money together.
Therefore, Yelumu agreed on the spot.
"This is okay!"
Yelumu said this.
But he didn't show too much happiness on his face.
And Xu Qingxiao just nodded.
By starting this mutual trade, Xu Qingxiao dug a big hole for the Tuxie Dynasty. Oh, and also for the Chu Yuan Dynasty, the import and export economy and trade. Only Xu Qingxiao knew how complicated this was.
Furthermore, as long as the other party establishes the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, it will be regarded as the prototype of a 'National Trade Bureau'. Once formed, businessmen will be able to penetrate everywhere, and they can also do something themselves. Xu Qingxiao remembers the story of sky-high price tulips very clearly.
The Tuxie Dynasty agreed, this was a good thing for the Wei Dynasty, a great good thing.
"Thirdly, this time the Wei Dynasty put down the rebellion, the casualties were as high as 210,000. For me, the Wei Dynasty, this is an unbearable pain. Therefore, I hope that the Tuxie Dynasty can provide some assistance to the Wei Dynasty as an ally.
Support in the form of silver and grain."
"I wonder if that's okay?"
When it comes to the third condition, Xu Qingxiao is much simpler. This one is not digging a hole, but is really asking the Tuxie Dynasty to get money.
But it's not compensation, but another word, subsidy.
It's like a friend who hasn't been in touch with you for a long time suddenly said, "Brother, are you here? Lend some money to pay back the debt, and I will help you when you are in trouble in the future." It's the same principle.
As soon as he said this, Yelumu frowned, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Master Xu, how much funding do you need? To be honest, the Tuxie Dynasty's treasury doesn't have much money left."
Yelumu said this, at this time, you must pretend to be poor. If you don't pretend to be poor, you will be waiting for others to kill you.
"Don't worry, it's not much. One hundred thousand taels of silver and ten million dans of grain and grass. That's not too much, right?"
Xu Qingxiao laughed and said.
Six Ministers: "."
Duke: "."
Yelumu: "."
Jutta: "."
Isn’t that much?
Your uncle, this is Tuxie's treasury revenue for more than half a year, one hundred thousand taels, plus ten million dans of grain and grass, this is really a lion's mouth.
Yelumu was a little depressed.
But he took a deep breath, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.
"Master Xu, this amount is too big, I'm afraid I can't agree to it."
Although Yelumu's tone was tactful, his eyes were very determined.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, plus ten million taels of grain and grass?
Take a shower and go to sleep.
If we really want to give so much, who in the Tuxie Dynasty would be willing to agree? They would even rather fight.
What does Guan Tuxie have to do with this matter? You didn't do anything, so you just took out so much? You used to support hundreds of countries a lot, right? Now basically everything has to go into your pockets, and you have to ask us to get it later?
Do you think our Tuxie Dynasty is being taken advantage of?
Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao frowned slightly, but he was not too tough.
He just thought about it and continued.
"Let's see, transportation of grain and grass is a bit troublesome. As for the silver, if the Tuxie Dynasty really doesn't have it, then I can write an IOU for one hundred thousand taels, and once the Wei Dynasty develops, I promise to pay it back."
"It's impossible for you not to believe in the credit of this country, right?"
"Nothing less will be enough."
Xu Qingxiao said this.
Yelumu sighed. He was not stupid. He was repaying the country's credit. Maybe the two countries would start fighting that day. The money he took out would definitely never be returned.
There's no need for this, it's not disgusting.
"Ten million taels, maybe. Tu Xie can't afford that much, Mr. Xu."
Yelumu wanted to continue bargaining.
And Xu Qingxiao stood up directly and said: "Since your country is not willing to negotiate peace, then Xu will not be the peacemaker. Prime Minister Yelu, Xu will resign. You are on your way."
Xu Qingxiao got up.
One hundred thousand taels was definitely not much for the Tuxie Dynasty. Xu Qingxiao did not believe that the Tuxie Dynasty was short of these one hundred thousand taels.
For the Tuxie Dynasty, money was no longer very useful. After all, there were no projects to invest in. Unlike the Wei Dynasty, money was lacking everywhere.
Therefore, these one hundred thousand taels should be the bottom line of the Tuxie Dynasty.
Xu Qingxiao was very sure. If it was too much, the Tuxie Dynasty would definitely not agree, but if it was too little, he wouldn't agree.
Indeed, as Xu Qingxiao stood up, the other ministers and Dukes also stood up one after another.
Seeing this posture, Yelumu was a little unhappy.
"Master Xu, why is this necessary?"
"One hundred thousand taels, such a huge amount, why should Tuxie give it to me?"
"This time, it is true that Tuxie did not find out the situation and was a little offended, but it does not mean that the Tuxie Dynasty is really afraid of the Wei Dynasty."
"If you really want to fight, you will not be afraid of fighting when you are in trouble."
At this moment, Yelumu became a little angry.
The first two conditions are nothing. The third condition is to ask for one hundred thousand taels. In fact, these one hundred thousand taels are indeed not bad for Tu Xie.
It is indeed affordable, but the question is why should it be given? Why should it be given?
What qualifications does the Wei Dynasty have to demand one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Tuxie Dynasty?
Is it because Wei is not afraid of war? But he is not afraid of sudden evil either?
If you are in a hurry, both the jade and the stone will be destroyed.
As the sound of Yelumu sounded.
Xu Qingxiao didn't think much, but took out a letter with four words clearly written on it.
【Early Yuan Dynasty】
"Prime Minister Yelu, this letter is a secret letter sent to me, the Great Wei Dynasty, from the Chu Yuan Dynasty."
"With your wisdom, you should be able to guess the content of this secret letter, right?"
"Tuxie is not afraid of fighting, Xu knows it, but the Wei Dynasty is not humiliated. I believe Prime Minister Yelu also knows it."
"This battle, why Xu massacred the city, was not only a battle between alien nations, but also a warning to the barbarians."
"Da Wei will never treat a friend badly, but he will never let an enemy go."
"Do you understand?"
Xu Qingxiao held the letter tightly, the meaning of the words was extremely clear.
Once the Wei Dynasty goes to war, the Chu Yuan Dynasty will definitely try its best to help the Wei Dynasty, because the Wei Dynasty is weak. If the two sides fight, without using first-level warriors, do you, the Tuxie Dynasty, want to crush the Wei Dynasty?
impossible things.
And with the use of first-grade warriors, your Tuxie Dynasty is also prepared to die.
Who is all this because of? Isn't it just because you two are mean-mouthed? You must start the war and let Tuxie declare war.
Now it is Tuxie who is riding a tiger but cannot get off.
It was the Wei Dynasty that was moving forward inexorably.
It was the Chu Yuan Dynasty that reaped the benefits.
You said I dare not fight?
The dragon of public opinion has appeared, but you still think I dare not fight? Is the imperial edict of the national destiny dead?
this moment.
Yelumu fell silent.
He seemed unusually quiet.
After a while, Yelumu took a deep breath and smiled on his face.
"Sir Xu, one hundred thousand taels of silver, I agree on behalf of the Tuxie Dynasty."
"But I also hope that the two countries can get along well in the future and not cause trouble again. Otherwise, if we really fight, we will only suffer for the people."
Yelumu said with a smile.
He agreed, and the letter from the Chu Yuan Dynasty really crushed his self-confidence.
Xu Qingxiao was absolutely right. The Chu Yuan Dynasty must have helped the Wei Dynasty unconditionally, but in this case, both the Wei Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty would suffer.
At that time, he and Yuta will definitely die, because they are the two foul-mouthed people who insist on asking Emperor Tuxie to declare war.
Once you get angry at yourself, you will be gone too.
Therefore, one hundred thousand taels of silver was not much, but it also bought his and Yuta's lives.
This is indeed a good deal.
What can I do if I feel unhappy? I can only bear with it, who can let myself be such a mean person.
And when Xu Qingxiao heard what Yelumu said, she couldn't help but smile and speak.
"Prime Minister Yelu is wise."
"In that case, let Prime Minister Yelu discuss the details with me, the Minister of Wei and the Duke of the State."
"Xu needs to go down to deal with other things. Lord Yelu has been having a lot of fun in Dawei these past two days. You can buy whatever you like. Things from Dawei are high quality and cheap. As long as you abide by the laws of Dawei."
"Okay, I'll take my leave."
Hearing the other party's promise, Xu Qingxiao nodded with satisfaction. He had nothing more to say and left the private room directly.
Now we still have to deal with the alien nation downstairs.
There's no time to waste on this kind of thing.
The remaining matters here will be left to Chen Zhengru, Gu Yan and others to handle.
Looking at Xu Qingxiao leaving, everyone was a little silent.
Whether it's Chen Zhengru or Gu Yan, or Yelumu or Youta.
Everyone was shocked by what Xu Qingxiao did.
Chen Zhengru and others never imagined that Xu Qingxiao would force Tu Xie to agree to give him one hundred thousand taels of silver. Although it was said to be aid, things like silver have been depreciating in value.
It won't be a loss to pay them back in fifty or a hundred years.
What's more, if there is a war some year, I will just tear up the IOU and give you a cent.
So these one hundred thousand taels of silver are purely for nothing.
Xu Qingxiao is really fierce.
It's so fierce.
As for Yelumu, he was extremely shocked. Xu Qingxiao's negotiation skills were simply superb, and he firmly grasped their bottom line.
One hundred thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot, but with the secret letter from the Chu Yuan Dynasty, it is completely different.
But only Wang Xinzhi knew that this secret letter was fake, because where could there be a secret letter? No matter how stupid the Chu Yuan Dynasty was, they would not have written a secret letter, but sent someone to inform them.
Tsk tsk, Xu Qingxiao is really a talented person in the Ministry of Etiquette.
How about I abdicate? Let Xu Qingxiao be the Minister of Rites?
Wang Xinzhi thought to himself.
And at the same time.
Xu Qingxiao has already arrived downstairs.
More than four hundred envoys from foreign countries have been waiting for less than half an hour.
The atmosphere is somewhat depressing.
When Xu Qingxiao appeared, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the people outside also became excited.
"I have met Mr. Xu."
More than four hundred people stood up and bowed to Xu Qingxiao.
"sit."
Xu Qingxiao was very direct, with a stern face, and asked everyone to sit down.
At that moment, the four hundred people sat back down.
"I won't be verbose about some words, just be more direct."
"First, within five days of the foreign country that participated in the impeachment of this official, the king of the country issued an imperial edict to go to the Wei Dynasty, kowtow and bow to the empress three times, make a big gift and beg for guilt, and at the same time abdicate, and the Ministry of Personnel will send people to review his country.
The prince is the new king."
"Second, when participating in the war against a foreign country, all the kings of the country committed suicide and all the civil and military officials committed suicide, so as not to harm their families. Those who quit midway, including those who surrendered midway, will not be punished."
"Third, all foreign countries will open their city gates and reduce the number of troops by 70% to avoid unrest. However, in order to protect the safety of all countries, the number will be reduced and the number will be filled by the Wei army."
"Fourth, each foreign country should establish the post of Great Wei Tianguan to assist each country in handling national affairs, so as to avoid civil strife due to the lack of civil and military officials."
"Fifth, each foreign country should pay 30% of the national treasury every year and dedicate it to the Wei Dynasty for eternity."
"Sixth, Wei merchants who go to foreign countries to do business must enjoy preferential treatment."
"Seventh, the people of the Wei Dynasty must have safety guarantees and preferential treatment in all aspects when they go to foreign countries. If any people of the Wei Dynasty encounter any problems in the foreign countries, all countries must deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise they will be held responsible at all levels.
.”
"Eighth, when officials from the Wei Dynasty go to foreign countries, they are all envoys. They must be treated like royalty and must not be disrespected."
"Ninth, each foreign country should set up a Great Wei Academy, and students from the Great Wei can go to foreign countries to preach and receive vocations. All expenses will be paid by the foreign countries themselves."
"Tenth, tentative! It will be formulated accordingly according to the different situations of each country."
Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth and stated ten conditions, which were the ten conditions for the Wei Dynasty to surrender.
Each condition cannot be said to be too harsh, I can only say that it is not something humans do.
For a moment, all the foreign countries were dumbfounded.
They knew that Da Wei would definitely not let them go, but what they didn't expect was that Da Wei would be so cruel!
Put forward ten conditions at once, especially the last condition. If you can't think of it, don't think about it.
Still tentative?
Isn't this a knife hanging on your head? That day you provoked the Wei Dynasty, and they made a random request for you and cut yourself off on the spot. Who can withstand it?
"Master Xu, isn't this a bit too much?"
"Master Xu, we have already surrendered, do you still want the king of our country to commit suicide?"
"Kill all civil and military officials? Master Xu, I'm afraid this won't work."
"Garrisoning troops in our country, then wouldn't our country be the same?"
Voices sounded one after another, making it extremely noisy.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded.
"Shut up!"
He glanced at everyone with cold eyes.
Then he said in a cold tone.
"I am not here to negotiate, but to inform you."
"I'll give you one day to inform your monarch."
"Accept, the etiquette department will sign the terms with you tomorrow."
"If you don't accept it, the Wei army will personally talk to your monarch tomorrow."
"Also, remember something."
"Weak countries have no diplomacy."
Xu Qingxiao was extremely indifferent.
Indeed, every one of these ten conditions is unacceptable. It is simply a treaty that humiliates the country and humiliates its rights.
But so what?
Are these foreign countries qualified to negotiate?
Xu Qingxiao didn't give them any time to continue talking.
Just left here.
Do these people deserve to waste their time?
The answer is obvious.
Not worthy.
Xu Qingxiao left, leaving the people in shock and shock.
These ten major clauses are simply exciting to the people.
Not only did he exaggerate the prestige of Wei Guo, not only made him angry, but more importantly, he made a lot of money.
Among the inns.
Gu Yan was standing at the top of the stairs. He had come out to get something.
After listening to Xu Qingxiao's ten clauses, I didn't know what to say.
If this foreign country agrees.
Gu Yan just wanted to run to the empress immediately and say something.
Your Majesty! Wei is really making crazy money this time!
