After glancing at the ministers and the aloof Qi Gaozong, Zan Mo said proudly: "Edict from the Emperor of Jin! If we want to negotiate peace, the Qi people must meet the following conditions!"
Qi Gaozong smiled kindly: "It doesn't matter what Jin said. This is all for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the two countries to never have war again. I am a benevolent king. I should try my best to fulfill the few conditions."
Zan Mo looked at the monarchs and ministers in the court with cold eyes. For him, the smoky atmosphere here made him feel uncomfortable.
Even for the Jin people, they looked down on sycophants like Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi. Even though these people could bring them many benefits that they could not get on the battlefield, looking down on them was still looking down on.
Otherwise, these golden envoys would not have scolded these core figures in the Qi Dynasty's court in front of all the civil and military officials.
"You better not use the word "I" in the future. Because the first rule is that Qi will submit to the Jin Dynasty and will always be the southern barrier of the Jin Dynasty!"
Qi Gaozong's face stiffened slightly. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to declare himself a minister.
But after all, he had made psychological expectations before, so although the situation was a bit embarrassing at this time, he still laughed twice: "I am willing to serve as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and will always be our barrier to the Jin Dynasty, guarding the south of the Yangtze River.
Secure your borders!”
Zan Mo had long expected that the Emperor of Qi Dynasty was a soft persimmon, but he never expected that he could say these words so shamelessly in the court, and could not help but deepen his contempt for him.
"Okay, the second clause is also simple. The Qi Dynasty pays me a large amount of annual coins, 250,000 taels of silver, and 250,000 pieces of silk."
Regarding this, Qi Gaozong was much more comfortable agreeing to it.
"It's natural."
He didn't say much, but everyone present knew what he was thinking.
Isn’t it just Sui coins?
It's not like I haven't given it before.
Even Xixia gave them old coins in the past, so what's the big deal now if they give some to the Jin Kingdom? It's nothing more than "temporarily burdening our people for ten years". Anyway, they are just exploiting the people. Maybe when the border trade is opened, the Qi Dynasty will
The court could also get some money back from trade.
Although upon closer inspection, the Qi Dynasty could have made money from border trade without giving them any coins, but it didn't matter. For Qi Gaozong, it was enough to have a spiritual victory method. The risk of victory with real money and silver was too great for his small body to bear.
Sorry.
Zan Mo regretted it a little and even felt that the money would be less.
However, it was too late to change my words at this time, so I had to continue.
"The third article is to cede the land. Qi Jin will use the Huaihe River and Dashan Pass as boundaries. The south will return to the south, and the north will return to the north. All northerners who have fled to the south will be sent back, and they are not allowed to take them in without permission!"
Qi Yingzong's face turned ugly again: "This...
"Jin Envoy, I...oh no, I am also from the north. If I return from the south to the south or from the north to the north, will I return safely?
"What's more, if the northerners fled south voluntarily, if they were to arrest and deport them one by one, this would not only be a bit unkind, not to mention it would also consume a lot of manpower and material resources..."
Zan Mo snorted coldly: "It turns out that your Qi Dynasty has no sincerity in negotiating peace!
"How about I return right now, let my army go south again, and send you to Five Kingdoms City to reunite with your father and brother?"
Qi Yingzong's expression suddenly changed: "What the Jin envoy said is wrong! Isn't it just to repatriate the northerners who fled to the south? Our government will do our best."
Zan Mo couldn't help but sneer, the Emperor of Qi Chao was really a soft persimmon.
No matter what you say, I will accept it completely.
For Zan Mo, his role as the Golden Envoy was too satisfying.
If you go to serve as an envoy to another place, it often takes a long time to reach an agreement. What is even more frightening is that some arrogant grassland tribes may chop or cook the envoy when they are angry. It is a high-risk occupation.
But coming to the Qi Dynasty to be an envoy was a very lucrative job.
From the emperor to the officials of the Qi Dynasty, they could not wait to kneel down to greet him. The standards in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation could directly match the emperor. Moreover, the Qi Dynasty did not even say that he killed the envoys, and even was scolded by the Jin envoys in the court.
Dare to talk back.
There was no need to bargain for all the conditions put forward by the Jin envoy. The Qi Dynasty accepted everything as ordered.
Is there any better job in the world than this?
Seeing that the Qi Dynasty accepted the three peace talks of ceding territory, becoming vassal, and paying tribute, Zan Mo made his final request.
"There is another condition, which I, the Emperor of Jin, have personally agreed with you Bojilie. If this condition cannot be met, then even if you all agree to the first three conditions, the peace negotiation will not be concluded!"
Qi Gaozong felt that the peace negotiation was just a step away, so he hurriedly asked: "Jin Envoy, please speak!"
Zan Mo squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Han Fuyue, must die!"
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Qi Gaozong laughed twice: "Ahem, envoy Jin, it's better not to talk about this kind of thing in the court... I still need to discuss this matter with Prime Minister Qin, and I can give envoy Jin an answer soon."
In fact, before the Jin envoy arrived, Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi had already discussed this matter, and had already thrown General Han Fuyue into prison.
It's just that this kind of thing cannot be said openly in the court, otherwise where will the emperor Qi Gaozong's face be?
That's why Qi Gaozong reluctantly said that he wanted to discuss it some more.
But in fact, Qin Huizhi knew that Han Fuyue was going to die sooner or later, and although Qi Gaozong was still wavering, he had probably acquiesced.
But I didn't expect that the Jin envoy Zanmo would not give Qi Gaozong any face: "I have already said that this condition was personally agreed upon by our Emperor Jin and Bo Jilie. If you Qi Dynasty does not agree to this condition, other
There is no need to discuss the matter!
"Farewell!"
After Zanmo said that, he turned around and left.
He obviously understands Qi Gaozong's virtue very well, and knows that the tougher his attitude is, the weaker Qi Gaozong will be. And this is exactly his mission as the Jin envoy: to use extreme pressure to get Qi Gaozong to agree to something beneficial to the Jin people as soon as possible.
Peace negotiation.
In fact, for the Jin people, they were also anxious to sign the peace agreement.
Because there is already chaos in the rear, Wan Yansheng is quelling the chaos in the rear, and it is impossible for the Jin people to mobilize a large army to invade the south. On the contrary, if the Qi Dynasty changes its mind and General Han Fuyue returns, then things will be a little bit complicated.
Tricky.
Therefore, the Jin people hoped to take advantage of these achievements as soon as possible, not only to obtain the legal principles of the land north of the Huaihe River, but also to finalize the matters of yearly coins and vassalage.
But compared to the weak Qi Gaozong and the traitorous Qin Huizhi, the Jin people obviously knew the secret of negotiation better.
Seeing that Zan Mo was about to leave, Qi Gaozong was really panicked.
"Your Majesty, please wait!
"Prime Minister Qin, what happened to Han Fuyue? Please tell me quickly. I wonder if there will be a result before next month to give an explanation to the world?"
At this time, Chu Ge, who played Qin Huizhi, was heartbroken.
This dog emperor didn't dare to come forward personally at this time, but let Qin Huizhi take the blame.
Okay, now that the topic has come to this...
It's time for the players to show up.
Thinking of this, Chu Ge stood up and said: "Return to the official's house. It doesn't take next month. The matter of General Han Fuyue has been finalized."
Qi Gaozong raised his eyebrows, obviously a little pleased: "Oh? The case has been finalized? What is the crime?"
Chu Ge was calm and said calmly: "General Han Fuyue is loyal, full of enthusiasm, behaves upright, and has outstanding military exploits. He is not guilty, so he is acquitted."
As soon as he said this, Zan Mo almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.
What's the situation? Shouldn't Qin Huizhi be with him?
He looked at Qin Huizhi, then at Qi Gaozong, and asked sharply: "What does this mean?"
Qi Gaozong was also a little confused and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please be patient and wait for me to ask.
"Prime Minister Qin, what do you mean? Didn't you say that Han Fuyue conspired to rebel?"
Chu Ge smiled slightly: "I also misunderstood the villain's slander. Now after a thorough investigation, I have found that General Han Fuyue is loyal and has no intention of turning back. Therefore, it is not too late to make up for the situation."
The corners of Qi Gaozong's mouth twitched slightly, and he was obviously on the verge of going crazy.
Qin Huizhi, why are you acting like me?
It was he who said General Han Fuyue was treasonous, and it was he who vowed to kill Han Fuyue to negotiate peace with the Jin people. Although Qi Gaozong was the one who made the final decision, Qin Huizhi's instigation was indeed indispensable.
As a result, the instigator suddenly jumped out and plucked himself clean?
Qi Gaozong originally wanted to ask Qin Huizhi to take the blame and handle this matter in a down-to-earth manner, but he didn't expect Qin Huizhi to suddenly slip up and put the blame on himself again?
That’s not true!
Although Qi Gaozong was weak, he was weak towards the Jin people. As an emperor, he was still very temperamental towards these officials of the Qi Dynasty, including Qin Huizhi, who had not yet received the "cannot serve as prime minister without guilt".
"Qin Huizhi, what do you mean? You first said that Han Fuyue must be killed, and then you said you couldn't kill him... Why on earth couldn't you kill him!"
Facing the emperor's thunderous wrath, Qin Huizhi showed no fear at this time, but rather wanted to laugh.
"I reported it back to the officials, but General Han couldn't kill him because...someone didn't agree."
Qi Gaozong's face turned grim: "Who disagrees?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone among the ministers say loudly: "Your Majesty Li Ruopu, I guarantee with my life that General Han Fuyue is not guilty!"
Immediately afterwards, more voices responded in unison.
"Your Majesty, Li Guang, pleads grievances for General Han Fuyue!"
"Your Majesty He You, I sincerely request the officials to reinstate General Han Fuyue to his post and continue to mobilize troops for the Northern Expedition!"
Voices sounded in the hall one by one.
After these officials finished speaking, they stepped forward one after another.
Soon, most of the important ministers in the court moved forward!
The remaining ministers were all stunned at this time.
They looked at each other in horror, wondering what they had missed.
When did these ministers get together secretly? Is something wrong?
There are obviously many sworn enemies here? Moreover, why did Qin Huizhi speak for Han Fuyue?
They instantly had the illusion that a month had been stolen out of thin air and that they would not be able to make it in time.
The most shocked person was naturally none other than Qi Gaozong.
Qi Gaozong, who originally thought he had complete control over the court, now discovered that most of the important ministers in the court were united against him and openly sang the opposite tune!
For him, who was timid and suspicious, this was simply a more terrifying scene than a general's rebellion.
"Rebellion, rebellion! You are all rebelling...
"Qin Huizhi! Who is instigating these people? Investigate! Investigate thoroughly for me!"
Chu Ge looked at the emperor with some pity: "Guan, have you forgotten who was the first to say that General Han Fuyue was not guilty?"
Qi Gaozong's expression changed several times, and his eyes almost burst out with fire. He pointed at the ministers in the court: "You... you have colluded long ago to force me into the palace! You, what on earth are you going to do! You are planning to usurp the throne.
!
"Come here! Where are the Imperial Guards!"
Chu Ge smiled in a low voice: "We are not interested in officials, trying to usurp the throne or anything like that.
"Do you really think that everyone is covetous of your ridiculous throne?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a minister in the crowd stepping forward: "What nonsense are you talking to him about? We won't talk about it until we beat him!"
He rushed directly to the dragon chair and dragged Qi Gaozong down with one hand.
The other ministers obviously couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward, surrounded Qi Gaozong and started kicking him in a circle.
"Emperor Dog! Go eat shit!"
"Are you Qi Gaozong? Where is your Gao Nima!"
"I wanted to beat you when I was trying out the illusion before, but I never got the chance!"
"Let me give you a kick too!"
The entire Jinluan Palace was instantly in chaos.
The other ministers who were not possessed by the player all looked at the scene in front of them in stunned silence.
The emperor was actually pulled down from the throne, then surrounded and beaten with punches and kicks. He couldn't stand up during the battle...
As for Zan Mo, he was also stunned by the scene in front of him.
In fact, strictly speaking, although he had never seen a similar scene with his own eyes, he had heard of it.
It is said that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom once used money from the treasury to buy wine. As a result, Bo Jilie, led by Wan Yansheng, dragged him from his throne and beat him with twenty military sticks.
But that is the Kingdom of Jin after all!
Jin and Qi have different systems. In the Jin Kingdom, Bo Jilie like Wan Yansheng was not only a prince, but also an important minister with military and political power. He had a high say in front of the emperor.
But it was different in Qi Dynasty!
The status of a military general is simply lower than that of a dog. Although the status of a civil servant is much higher than that of a military general, who dares to openly drag the emperor down and beat him?
He felt that the first half of his mission was quite normal, but when he arrived at the Jinluan Palace, his style suddenly changed...
Some ministers had already noticed that something was wrong, and secretly wanted to run out and call the imperial guards over.
However, before he even took two steps, he was stopped.
Zhao Haiping and Fan Cun each acted as a military general and stopped at the entrance of the court.
Although they were using their bare hands, with their skills, it was not easy to deal with these civil servants.
"Everyone, where are you planning to go?" The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, were like two door gods, showing kind smiles.
These ministers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads: "We...are not going anywhere, not anywhere."
Fan Cun and Zhao Haiping looked at each other, then smiled and said: "To be honest, I also have some medical skills. You all seem to be in poor health, otherwise why would you be so pale and sweating all the time? Why don't you let me give you some advice?
Let’s get some diagnosis and treatment?”
These ministers were a little confused: "Diagnosis and treatment?"
The next second, they understood what "diagnosis and treatment" meant.
Fan Cun had already kicked him directly!
Not to be outdone, Zhao Haiping used his fist as big as a sandbag to beat him hard.
“Here’s to all you gentlemen out of trouble! Cure all diseases!”
…
Outside the palace.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard came in a hurry.
When they heard that there seemed to be a commotion in the main hall, they naturally did not dare to neglect it.
However, they had just arrived in front of the main hall, and before they had time to see clearly what was going on inside, they saw Yang Zhengfu, the military attache in charge of the front department of the hall, walking over as if nothing happened.
"There is nothing to do in the court, please leave."
The soldiers looked at each other. Although they still had some doubts, the person in front of them was their immediate superior and the most trusted person by the current emperor, so there was no need for these soldiers to ask any more questions and they retreated honestly.
After driving away these soldiers, the player playing Yang Zhengfu hurried back to the court with small steps, hoping to take this opportunity to kick Qi Gaozong one more time.
…
There was chaos in the court, and a group of important ministers suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason, kicking the emperor and other officials in circles.
Other ministers are also trying to resist, but their resistance is doomed to be in vain.
There were only forty-five players this time, and several of the characters possessed by the players were not qualified to participate in the court meeting, so the actual number of players present was even less than the forty-five.
But they firmly occupied the initiative in the court.
The reason is that when choosing their identities, these players deliberately chose those who were physically strong.
After all, when boxing in the court, what does your status matter? Whether you will get beaten or not depends entirely on your physical fitness.
Therefore, the ministers chosen by the players are all young, strong and in good health, so they can easily defeat other ministers.
What's more, there are Zhao Haiping and Fan Cun. After possessing the generals, they can beat at least ten of these powerless ministers.
In addition to the scribe players, the players, whether they are rangers, assassins or soldiers, all have very superb fighting skills, and they are even more comfortable fighting at this time.
In addition, the players are well prepared and cooperate well...
The situation in the court instantly became one-sided.
Except for the players who were still standing, Qi Gaozong and other ministers were basically all knocked to the ground and kicked in circles.
Zanmo froze completely.
He trembled and said: "You, you all come together, you..."
He didn't know what to say.
Chu Ge, who played Qin Huizhi, was so angry that he suddenly realized that the players had forgotten about him.
"Don't let this guy go! Come on!"
With an order, the players were thrown to the ground and Qi Gaozong, whose face was bruised and bruised, was kicked to the ground, and surrounded Zan Mo.
Although Zanmo is a Jin man and has good physical fitness, how can he withstand the siege of so many people?
He was kicked to pieces on the spot and couldn't take care of himself.
…
Half an hour passed, and the players were each breathing heavily, and some of the possessed ministers were of average physical fitness. They were already holding on to the pillars in the palace.
Qi Gaozong and the ministers all fell to the ground and groaned.
A player gave a thumbs up to the minister played by Meng Yuan: "This is a great idea! I have wanted to beat Qi Gaozong for a long time!"
He paused and then said: "But... what should we do next?"
Chu Ge chuckled: "Isn't this simple?
"The Jin envoy Zanmo spoke rudely to the officials in the palace, and took action first and got into a fight with many ministers. Although Zanmo was beaten to death in court afterwards, the officials and ministers were also injured and were unable to handle political affairs.
, can only rest in the palace.
"Major matters in the DPRK will be handled by us for the time being.
"Come here! Put the officials into the cold palace and imprison them. We are going to do something big!"
