Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"The Yan Dynasty Imperial Court must have bad intentions when they speak out at this time!"

“I think we can get in touch with them.”

"What can they give us? Nothing at all. As long as Your Majesty can seize the Imperial City, the entire Yan Dynasty will be ours. What else do we need from the Imperial Court?"

Everyone was talking at once, and the discussion was extremely heated.

They split into two factions.

The major local families were unexpectedly pro-war.

They felt that as long as they could defeat the other side, it didn't matter whether they negotiated or not.

But the other party said that this was not the case.

So he kept urging Qin Ming to go to war, and was even willing to lead the troops himself to fight against the Yan Dynasty's troops.

In contrast, the generals of Daqian were not so fierce.

They feel they should listen to the other party's ideas first.

There are quite a few generals who hold this view.

The reason is also very simple.

They have experienced too many wars. If they can win by reducing losses, there is no need to let the brothers fight again.

"Let's meet first."

What Qin Ming paid more attention to was the opinions of his brothers.

The reason why those local big families asked for war at this time was that they felt a sense of crisis.

If Qin Ming, Yan Guangshou and Xue Taiping reach an agreement, he will not even have the chance to contribute.

If the high-ranking royal officials of the Yan Dynasty were given a break, they would definitely put internal affairs in order.

The first ones to be targeted are fence-sitters like them!

"Wait!"

Just as Qin Ming was about to make up his mind, a voice suddenly broke the situation.

Chang Baishan stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, before they arrive this time, should we retreat and not fight, or continue to defend?"

The issue he mentioned is quite important.

Generally speaking, a temporary truce can be achieved during the peace talks between the two armies.

If he was sincere, Qin Ming would need to withdraw the front-line troops in advance and stop fighting.

However, like Chang Baishan, he was worried that this was a delaying tactic by the other party.

"Continue to defend."

Without any hesitation, Qin Ming announced his decision.

"Row."

A few days later, Yan Guangshou and Xue Taiping arrived at Qin Ming's military camp.

Although he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else in the entire Yan Dynasty.

They came here specifically to seek peace and acted very low-key.

After all, the purpose of his coming this time was to sell a large part of Yan Dynasty's interests to Qin Ming.

After doing this, the two people who seek fame and reputation will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

The historians' records of them must have been bad.

When they thought of this, neither of them wanted to come.

With this mentality, they were forced to come to the military camp reluctantly, and they were not as good as they had imagined. Even after sitting down, they were unusually silent.

Qin Ming called Yan Ziqiong back from the back early. After all, this was a very formal occasion, so Qin Ming only brought her and the mature and steady Ye Shoujiang to negotiate with the other party.

I didn't expect to encounter this situation.

He looks half dead. Are you here to negotiate?

After realizing that something was wrong with these two people.

Qin Ming immediately looked at Yan Ziqiong. Yan Ziqiong shook her head, indicating that it was not convenient for her to start.

After all, she betrayed the Yan Dynasty.

Taking the initiative to negotiate at this time would seem too hasty, and if it gets out, people would probably say that you are being too greedy.

Qin Ming nodded slightly and took the initiative to speak:

"You two, I have prepared some side dishes, all of which are Daqian's meals, you can try them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xue Taiping and Yan Guangshou nodded, and at this time they were actually preparing to eat openly.

Xue Taiping glanced at Yan Guangshou and found that Yan Guangshou didn't think about anything. He just sat there eating and didn't even have the intention to do his business.

If he eats, then you can eat too!

Xue Taiping took the chopsticks and reached out to pick up the food.

As the food enters your mouth, the aroma lingers in your nose. The taste is moderate, neither salty nor bland, with a long aftertaste.

Xue Taiping's heart moved, and he immediately lowered his head to look carefully.

I discovered that what I had just eaten was actually a piece of snow-white tofu.

I've heard that the food in Daqian is delicious.

There was also trade between the Yan Dynasty's imperial court and Daqian.

There were not enough places for each ship trip, and some people even came to ask Xue Taiping and Yan Guangshou to use their connections to get a place.

The food is so delicious, which shows that Daqian is indeed unique.

goodong...

goodong...

The swallowing sound seemed a bit harsh in the silent tent.

Fortunately, this sound, like a symphony, came alternately from Yan Guangshou and Xue Taiping.

It won’t be awkward if someone eats with you.

It seems that their main task today is to come here and eat.

Ye Shoujiang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he snorted coldly and signaled to Qin Ming that he wanted to stand up and say a few words.

Qin Ming was not in a hurry and shook his head slightly at him.

He wanted to see what these two old guys were up to.

There are limited dishes on the table.

No matter how focused or slow you are in eating, it will eventually end.

Finally, almost all the food on the scene was eaten.

Qin Ming still had his arms crossed and looked at the two of them with a smile.

It seemed that he could not survive this young man.

Yan Guangshou wiped his mouth, and with an embarrassed look on his face, he had no choice but to speak:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am exhausted from the long journey and haven't had a full meal in several days."

"No problem, let's get down to business."

Qin Ming smiled and nodded.

But as soon as Yan Guangshou heard the word "business", he immediately turned to look at Xue Taiping.

"Master Xue, this is a serious matter. You are the head of the Land Affairs Department. Would you please discuss it with His Majesty first?"

Xue Taiping, who was still wiping his mouth, was stunned.

I thought Yan Guangshou couldn't hold on any longer, and finally he took control of the matter.

I didn't expect this guy to turn around and put the blame on me.

With a sneer, Xue Taiping immediately shook his head and said:

"Chief Yan, what you said is wrong."

"Your Majesty originally arranged for you to come and negotiate with Daqian. He only brought me along to increase your bargaining chips and satisfy the people of Daqian. I certainly don't dare to make the decision on such a negotiation!"

As soon as the two of them spoke, Qin Ming and the other two understood why the meal took so long.

It turns out that he was afraid of taking responsibility and afraid that his reputation would be ruined.

No one was willing to make a promise to Qin Ming and give up the interests of the Yan Dynasty.

The Yan Dynasty, which established the aristocratic fiefdom system and cultivated thousands of private lords, was prone to producing such people.

Faced with the two people's shirking of responsibility, Qin Ming did not urge them. The internal strife among the enemies could easily allow him to obtain more information.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the matter, Yan Guangshou was too lazy to argue anymore.

"Your Majesty, whatever you want, if we can agree to it, we can agree to it."

"Ok?"

When these words were spoken, both Qin Ming and Xue Taiping were stunned.

It was the first time they had seen someone negotiate like this.

Just ask them what they want and agree to everything you can do. What else is there to talk about?

There was no talk of negotiation methods, and there was no probing between the two sides at all.

Isn't this a pure gift?
