Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

shameless!

Ling Tian gave his own opinion in his mind. Tuoba Ke had obviously made preparations for both scenarios.

No humiliation.

Aid weakened.

It was really a good plan.

Emperor Wu's expression softened a lot now. As long as he gave something, he could exchange it for peace, which was not bad.

Some of the civil officials who advocated peace all nodded at this time: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have come from afar. After resolving the past grievances, it is only right that we provide them with assistance."

"Your Majesty, although there have been disasters in the past three years of Daqian, it is much better than the bitter cold land of Northern Zhou."

"Peace is the best policy for nations."

"I hope Your Majesty will make a wise decision."

Ling Yu's mind turned quickly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Father, I think what Princess Tuoba said makes sense."

"After all, as a vassal state of Daqian, Beizhou should make a statement."

Emperor Wu glanced at Ling Yu and said, "I have my own plans."

Ling Yu felt that he was being looked down upon and felt a little embarrassed.

next second.

Emperor Wu frowned and glanced at Ling Tian: "Sixth Brother, what do you think?"

Brush brush!

Almost everyone's eyes turned to Ling Tian.

"Cough cough."

Ling Tian cursed the bastard in his heart, but he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Father, I beg you to fight me!"

"absurd!"

Xiao Yuanshan shouted softly: "Sixth Prince, do you know how many soldiers of Daqian will be sacrificed if you ask for a fight?"

"How many families in Daqian were broken."

Ling Tian felt amused in his heart, and the next second he held his head high and said, "Duke Xiao, as a superior country, does our great Daqian need to rely on charity in exchange for peace?"

"To put it bluntly."

“This is no longer charity.”

"But begging for peace."

"If you really do this, it will chill the hearts of Daqian soldiers."

“As the ancients said, one punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming.”

The words of requesting to fight were sonorous and powerful, and many generals on the scene cheered.

Tuoba Ke raised her eyebrows, and a different light flashed across her beautiful eyes: "Why is this Sixth Prince different from what the outside world says?"

"But he was so eager to prove himself."

"His failure is doomed."

"You..." Xiao Yuanshan was speechless for a moment. Ling Tian saw the opportunity and raised his voice: "Let's not talk about the Northern Zhou envoy today, who kept calling us the superior country."

"But there was not the slightest courtesy between the monarch and his subjects."

"So it can be seen that the Northern Zhou Dynasty called it rescue."

"In fact, they are taking this opportunity to weaken Daqian's national strength. Once the disaster expands, there will be a civil uprising."

"The Northern Zhou can easily break through the gates of our Daqian country."

Ling Tian's words caused the whole place to fall silent. Even many civil officials bowed their heads and kept silent.

Xiao Yuanshan thought to himself, "Damn it, why is this Sixth Prince so aggressive? It's like he's a different person."

"Could it be that everything he did before was actually forbearance?"

"If that's the case, then this opponent is really scary."

Xiao Yuanshan understood that if this continued, Ling Tian would really be able to hold the emperor's flag and rule the border. It wouldn't be long before he would have his own team.

The calculations are so deep that it is frightening.

"Sixth Prince, this is just your guess." Xiao Yuanshan was also a little confused: "Besides, the envoys of Northern Zhou have already recognized our Daqian's status as a superior country, so there will be etiquette between the monarch and his subjects."

boom!

Just as Ling Tian was about to speak, the Emperor slapped the table with his hand. There was a dull sound and no one dared to speak. His deep eyes swept across everyone present and no one dared to look into the Emperor's eyes.

Xiao Yuanshan tried to calm himself down: "Your Majesty..."

"Back off." Emperor Wu said softly, his expression did not fluctuate at all, and his eyes swept over Tuoba Ke; "Princess Tuoba, what do you think of what Lao Liu just said?"

"Your Majesty, what the Sixth Prince said makes sense."

Tuoba Ke did not hide anything and admitted it openly.

kindness?

Emperor Wu was surprised, as if he had not expected it to be so straightforward.

next second.

Tuoba Ke took a step forward, then knelt on one knee and whispered, "Tuoba Ke, the Third Duke of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, leads the Northern Zhou delegation to meet the Emperor Daqian."

Nima!

Ling Tian was stunned when he saw this: "Why doesn't Tuoba Ke play by the rules?"

"Did she just give up on treatment?"

"They don't care about the face of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at all."

Ling Tian also understood in his heart that a mere courtesy could be exchanged for the lifeblood of Daqian.

worth!

Cruel person.

Ling Tian took another look at Tuoba Ke in his heart: "I didn't expect this beautiful woman to be so decisive when she goes crazy."

"If this thing grows up in the future, it will definitely be Daqian's number one rival."

Emperor Wu also felt a little surprised and pretended to be happy: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Daqian."

Tuoba Ke then stood up, without any anger on his face, as if kneeling down to salute was just a very small thing.

"Ah."

Emperor Wu whispered: "Princess Tuoba, as a superior country, when Northern Zhou is in trouble, Daqian should provide assistance."

"But now we also have internal troubles in Daqian."

"Why don't you tell me about your Northern Zhou's demands?"

Although Emperor Wu understood the other party's evil ambitions, Daqian could not withstand the turmoil.

A cunning look flashed across Tuoba Ke's eyes: "Your Majesty, the most scarce minerals and food in our Northern Zhou territory."

"But the ore is a weapon of the country and cannot be given away as a gift."

"I hope that His Majesty Daqian will be magnanimous and give Northern Zhou millet seeds."

"After I return, I will also let the people cultivate the land and grow millet to thank Your Majesty for his kindness."

seed!

Killing is heartbreaking.

Ling Tian's eyelids twitched, he never thought Tuoba Ke was so vicious. Now Daqian was in a disaster year, and it seemed that it was unable to fill the stomach, and the seeds for next year were also greatly reduced.

Once the seeds are given now.

Isn't that just digging your own grave!

And 70% of the people in the court will agree.

Emperor Wu was also relieved: "Princess, why don't you tell me how much millet the Northern Zhou needs?"

"not much."

Tuoba Ke smiled and gently stretched out five fingers: "Fifty thousand stones."

Fifty thousand stones!

Ling Tian's eyelids trembled violently. In the history of the past, each dynasty had a different definition of the weight of a stone, and most of them were above 100 jin. According to the national strength of Daqian, one stone was approximately equal to 120 jin in the past.

Fifty thousand stones!

It is approximately equal to 6 million kilograms in the previous life.

This is not chaff but seed.

Six million kilograms of seeds can at least plant three million acres of fertile land, which will be a terrifying income.

Just one year.

The national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty reached an unprecedented level.

However, it was not difficult for Daqian to obtain these 50,000 stones of seeds.

Although Daqian suffered from disasters such as drought, floods, and locusts, the tax revenue from Jiangnan alone was more than one million shi.

"Your Majesty, I think these 50,000 shi of seeds are not much." Xiao Yuanshan stepped forward first: "At this time of national crisis, I am willing to use my personal strength to raise 10,000 shi for Your Majesty."

With Xiao Yuanshan's statement, some civil officials followed suit: "Your Majesty, this old minister is also willing to raise 5,000."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to raise funds as well."

In just a moment, the amount raised had reached 40,000. It was obvious that this deal was worthwhile in their eyes.

Emperor Wu's frown also relaxed a little: "Third Princess, since the Northern Zhou is sincere, I will consider it."

Although Emperor Wu did not express his opinion directly, he had already tacitly agreed in his heart that 50,000 shi of millet was exchanged for the well-being of both countries.

Worth it!

Only Ling Tian frowned, thinking to himself: "Foolish."

"His Majesty!"

Chu Wan'er, who had been silent all this time, finally stepped forward and went straight to the center.

"Wan'er, is there something wrong?" Emperor Wu was a little surprised, but he felt guilty towards the Chu family, so his tone was inevitably a little tactful.

thump!

Chu Wan'er knelt down without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, 50,000 shi of millet will be donated to Northern Zhou."

"Within a year."

"Daqian will surely perish."
