Li Xuan leaned back on the dragon chair and let out a long sigh: "General, tell me about their conditions." ”

When Zhou Fei finished saying all the conditions, Li Xuan smiled.

"It's no wonder that the emissaries of the temple have been very calm these days, and no matter how hard we shout, they have not responded. It turned out that I had foreseen today's result a long time ago, generals, Lu Aiqing, Jiang Aiqing, you say, can I sign such a clause?"

Jiang Ziyi took the lead in speaking: "Naturally, I can't sign it, how can Your Majesty's name fall on such a clause that humiliates the country." ”

The minister thinks so, too. Lu Tiansuo said: "The name written on the clause will inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame and will be left for 10,000 years." So Your Majesty, you must not sign. ”

Li Xuan glanced at Zhou Fei, but Zhou Fei didn't say anything, so the little emperor continued: "Those two Aiqing also agreed to the conditions proposed by the temple?"

Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi glanced at each other, and then knelt down in unison: "Your Majesty......"

"Just say agree or disagree, kneeling and doing nothing. Li Xuan said.

Jiang Ziyi's fist hidden in the cuff of his official robe clenched tightly, and only after a moment did he say: "Your Majesty, the situation has developed so far, and there is no second way for Datang to go. Either the fish dies and the net is broken, or it survives. The minister is willing to shed the last drop of blood for Datang, but the person outside Chang'an City is not even willing to give Datang such an opportunity. ”

Lu Tiansuo said: "The Tang Dynasty man is not afraid of sacrifice, but the current situation is no longer something that mortals like us can reverse. After the master ascended to the sky, Guangyue was shocked and the fish alone had exhausted the power of Chang'an City. Now another blacksmith appeared, and I heard Mr. Six say that the blacksmith also has a companion carpenter, these two are masters who have survived the winter, they will not die, and the hall will never be peaceful. ”

Li Xuan said: "Speaking of which, your meaning has not changed, and I will not blame you, so why talk around and around." ”

Jiang Ziyi said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't dare to speak out, but if you say something like this, just saying it will make the minister extremely tormented." ”

Lu Tiansuo followed up and said: "The other terms are tolerable, but there is one thing that we must not agree to. ”

Li Xuan asked, "That one." ”

"Green Cone Ranch. Lu Tiansuo said: "It is not only the cultivation place of my Datang Xuanjia Army's war horses, but also the most important source of my Datang iron ore." By asking us to cede the Cone Ranch, the Temple wants to extinguish our hope of revival at the root. All of this must not be agreed. ”

Jiang Ziyi said: "The minister also thinks so. ”

Li Xuan's fingers slowly tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, and after a while, he said, "The two Aiqing should stand down, I want to talk to the general alone." ”

Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi glanced at each other and bowed down.

Only Li Xuan and Zhou Fei were left in the imperial study.

"General, sit down. Li Xuan said.

Zhou Fei said: "Your Majesty, you also heard Lu Tiansuo's words, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?"

Li Xuan said: "The general has tested me again." ”

"The minister just wants to know His Majesty's truest thoughts on this clause. Zhou Fei said: "In this way, the minister can make a decision." ”

Li Xuan walked up to Zhou Fei and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "General, like you, I know very well why the blacksmith appeared in Chang'an City. The battle has come to this, and it will not be beneficial for both sides to continue fighting, but after all, the temple is the strongest sect in the Great Wilderness, except for my Tang Dynasty and the Qin State, the other five countries are all dependent countries of the temple, and the temple needs to give an explanation to the five countries. ”

Zhou Fei said: "This explanation is the Green Cone Ranch. ”

Li Xuan said: "The most frightening thing about them in my Datang is the Xuanjia Army. And the most important component of the Xuanjia Army is the war horse and the armor. However, the raw materials of these two important components are produced in the green cone ranch. It's also magical, my Tang Dynasty has been a country for thousands of years, and the land is vast, but I can't find a place that can replace the existence of Qingcone Ranch. The temple has been trying to get the attention of the Blue Cone Ranch all these years, but without success. This time, the blacksmith came out of the mountain, and they were bound to win. In my opinion, all the other Clause Temples may be able to give up, but the Green Cone Ranch Temple will never give up. ”

Zhou Fei sighed: "It seems that Your Majesty has made a decision. ”

"Let's. Li Xuan said: "Infamy through the ages, let me bear it." Anyway, I am young, and whatever decision I make is normal in the eyes of historians. Being young means being mentally immature, it means being blinded, and it means being suppressed by power. ”

Zhou Fei shook his head: "No, Your Majesty can't sign this treaty." ”

"If I don't sign, do you want you to sign it?" Li Xuan smiled: "The general is a hero of the Tang Dynasty and a master who defeated the master, so there must not be any stain on your name." I am different, after all, there are still many people who insist that my blood is not pure, and my position is not right. I signed and abdicated, and gave up the throne to the sixteenth brother, he is the orthodox blood of the Li family, and he will be the emperor, which is also a matter that many people yearn for. ”

Zhou Fei gritted his teeth and said: "The minister advised His Majesty to dispel this idea, if Your Majesty insists on doing this, then the minister will go and kill the sixteenth prince." ”

"General, why are you so troubled? Li Xuan said: "Compared with the death of the country, what is the reputation of one person." ”

Zhou Fei said: "The truth can't be counted like this. In short, the minister did not agree with His Majesty's decision, and at the same time advised His Majesty to dispel this idea. The matter of the Green Cone Ranch, Rong Chen is thinking about it. ”

"Then the general should think quickly. Li Xuan said: "After all, the time left for us in the temple is running out. ”

Zhou Fei bowed his hand: "The minister will retire first." ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Leaving the imperial study, Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi were still waiting outside, and after seeing Zhou Fei, the two of them immediately greeted them: "How? Your Majesty has made a decision?" ”

Zhou Fei shook his head: "This matter will be kept secret for the time being, don't mention it to outsiders." ”

"But sooner or later, the ministers of the DPRK and China will know. The temple will inevitably release news to shake the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Tianshuo said.

Zhou Fei rubbed his swollen temples: "Let me think about it, maybe there are remedies." ”

Jiang Ziyi clenched his fists: "Fortunately, Mr. Six." ”

Zhou Fei waved his hand and walked out of the palace step by step.

Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi looked at his back.

"When did Mr. Six get hunchbacked?"

"Because Mr. Six is carrying a mountain. ”

"Will we survive this?"

"It's hard. ”

After Zhou Fei left the palace, he staggered back home.

The joy of defeating Yue Jingyu has long been gone.

Right now, he is like a tattered fishing net, full of holes.

The huge pressure was about to completely crush Zhou Fei from the inside out.

Maybe he should have let Yue Jingyu kill himself in the first place, so he wouldn't have to suffer such pain.
