Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth temptation and value

"What Khan Tian said is right."

Cheng Mu nodded.

By dividing the Yellow River and governing it, that would mean that most of the prosperous areas of the Qing Empire were assigned to the Tang Empire.

The famous Tang Empire indeed seemed to need this kind of superior treatment.

However.

Just after Cheng Mu nodded, his tone changed again: "Although this proposal is reasonable, we do not accept it!"

Why?

Are you going to give up the vast territory that you have conquered like this?

The area south of the Yangtze River alone was much larger than the provinces Li Jing and his companions captured.

Giving up all the areas south of the Yangtze River to the Tang Empire was Cheng Mu's greatest sincerity.

"Um?"

Li Shimin was satisfied when he heard Cheng Mu's first sentence.

But Cheng Mu's second sentence made him feel dissatisfied.

What qualifications does the Apocalypse Kingdom have to negotiate conditions in front of the Tang Empire?

Think back to the beginning, when all the people surrendered and all the nations came to court.

Only he, Li Shimin, can negotiate terms with others, and no small country dares to negotiate terms with him, Li Shimin.

After all, in Li Shimin's eyes, the strengths of the two sides are still unequal.

"With the Yangtze River as the boundary, Datang and Tianqi Kingdom established a friendly alliance!"

"Both countries jointly defend against powerful enemies and advance and retreat together!"

Cheng Mu knew that Li Shimin would be dissatisfied.

But he was not satisfied with giving away the land he had finally conquered in vain.

If we don't agree, let's talk about it again.

"What do you think is the strength of your Apocalypse Kingdom?"

Hearing Cheng Mu's words, Li Shimin wanted to laugh in his heart.

His tone was cold: "What kind of strength do you have to become an ally with me, the Tang Dynasty?"

As he spoke, a huge imperial power burst out from his body.

The crowd around him lowered their heads.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there were only a few countries that formed allies.

Those small countries must surrender to have a chance of survival.

To put it simply, if you want to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, you need to have the same strength as the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, we can only become a vassal of his Datang Empire!

"strength?"

Cheng Mu was not affected by Li Shimin's imperial power at all. No matter how young the emperor was, he was still an emperor.

He looked straight at Li Shimin and said: "Didn't General Li Jing tell you about the strength of our Tianqi Kingdom?"

Although Tian Khan is an honorific title, it is just a way for him to address Li Shimin.

There is no intention of surrender.

"It seems that you are very confident in the strength of your country!"

Li Shimin suddenly felt very interesting.

No small country dared to speak so confidently in front of him.

"You need to know."

"Your Tianqi Kingdom was able to capture the capital of the Qing Empire because of the wedding dress I made for you!"

If there was no clone of Yuan Tiangang who forced Nurhaci to be seriously injured, how could he, the Apocalypse Kingdom, kill Nurhaci?

It is even possible that Nurhachi will be killed by Nurhachi!

This is the reason why Li Shimin, the lion, opens his mouth so loudly.

"In this case, after our two countries have a battle, Tian Khan, you can see if I have this strength!"

This time, Cheng Mu was not showing off.

Since Li Shimin questioned his Tianqi Kingdom's strength, he would let Li Shimin take a good look at his own strength.

At the beginning, people in the Qing Empire were also aloof and looked down upon the Apocalypse Kingdom.

But now, it has not been destroyed in the hands of Cheng Mu.

The emperor needs to be proud, but being too proud is arrogance.

Those who are arrogant are not far from destruction.

"Haha! He is indeed a young man!"

Cheng Mu originally thought that Li Shimin was going to challenge him angrily.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin just laughed and said, "Okay! I believe you have the strength."

Intimidation and testing are inherently a negotiation tactic.

But he didn't expect that Cheng Mu was not afraid of the Tang Empire.

This young man is determined!

Generally, there are only two possibilities for this situation to occur.

First, Cheng Mu is bragging. Second, Cheng Mu does have this strength.

From Li Jing's conversation, Li Shimin already knew Cheng Mu's strength.

If you do have capital, negotiate terms with him.

"So, Khan Khan agreed to the proposal of dividing the river to control it?"

Cheng Mu was a little surprised. He sighed in his heart that the emperor's heart was truly unfathomable.

One second he looked angry, the next he laughed and seemed intimate.

A fake one!

"I agree. But I also have a condition."

It only covers a few provinces, and the Tang Dynasty is not a scarce land.

What he wants is something else.

"Oh? Tian Khan, you said."

Cheng Mu nodded.

As long as we can divide the river and control it, everything is easy to say.

My goals and requirements have been achieved, and agreeing to Li Shimin on one condition is within the acceptable range.

"That's the condition."

When Li Shimin said this, he stared directly at Cheng Mu: "I want you to marry my Princess of the Tang Dynasty!"

As he spoke, a fox-like smile appeared on his face.

It seems that this is the real purpose that he has been plotting for a long time.

Those words just now were all temptations.

What is an alliance? Marriage is the most stable covenant.

"Wha...what?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Cheng Mu was immediately confused.

Which show is this being played in?

Is it because I am too charming? Everyone loves me?

"This...this...isn't right. Besides, I'm already married!"

This was so fast that Cheng Mu was not mentally prepared. Moreover, he already had Li Shishi and Hua Mulan!

You, Li Shimin, do have many children, but there is no need to give them away like this.

"What's wrong!"

This time, Li Shimin was really dissatisfied.

He scolded: "What do three wives and four concubines mean to a man when he is alive?"

"What's more, you are the emperor, and every woman you fancy is her gift!"

Which emperor doesn’t have three palaces and six courtyards?

If you don’t have more wives and don’t have more sons, how can you choose the most suitable heir?

Survival of the fittest is the law of nature, and it is also the cruel law of the imperial family.

"Well, it's still not appropriate."

Cheng Mu shook his head and refused.

Once they get married, Li Shimin will be his father-in-law.

When the time came to do something to my father-in-law, I felt a little guilty.

In the final analysis, he, Cheng Mu, still did not succeed in cultivation and did not master the true art of the emperor.

Otherwise, if it were someone else.

I have agreed long ago, and at worst, I will turn against you later. Or even use it to covet the Tang Empire!

"Women's kindness!"

Li Shimin was already very dissatisfied. He wanted to tell Cheng Mu: "As an emperor, you must abandon most of the benevolence, kindness, and compassion of women!"

"What you have to face are the people of the entire country. You cannot let down the trust of the entire country in you!"

"Anything that involves national interests is the most important!"

The emperor must have a compassionate heart and love for the people.

But in this way, you can only be a benevolent king.

However, there is no shortage of benevolent kings in this world.

In this world, whether it is other human races or demons, they are all eyeing humans.

Being too kind will make people feel weak and easy to bully!

"Been taught a lesson."

After listening to Li Shimin's teachings, Cheng Mu hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Indeed, what he said makes sense.

Although a benevolent person is good, he may not be able to survive in this chaotic world surrounded by powerful enemies.

Only the hero is the king in troubled times.

"If that's the case, then let's create a document of national independence!"

Li Shimin was finally satisfied and said, "I will betroth Si'er to you!"

Si'er, also known as Princess Jinyang, is Li Shimin's most beloved daughter.

She died early in her last life, but she still followed Li Shimin in this life.

The betrothal of Si'er to Cheng Mu is enough to show that Li Shimin attaches great importance to Cheng Mu!
