However, it was said that the imperial shadow landed from Tianjin, and all the way over, he found that the situation in the Central Plains was indeed similar to what Ji Yang's holy decree described. Because Ji Yang recovered the Nine Border Region, and the Emperor and Nameless only hit Suzhou, so Tianjin happened to be under the control of Wushuang City and the Dongying people.

These Toei people called themselves the Iga faction and had nothing to do with the emperor, so they surrendered to the emperor and they were still unscrupulous here. When the emperor came, he encountered more than a dozen times along the way when the Dongying people oppressed the people of the Central Plains, looting hard and doing all kinds of evil. The angry Emperor Ying killed those Dongying people, but he killed one stubble after another, and in short, he didn't meet a good one.

"The King of Shu is conclusive, the compensation is understandable, but Dongying really can't afford to pay it." Huangying followed the guards into the palace, still thinking about how to tell the King of Shu about the indemnity and the cession of power.

"It's here, you can go in." The guards brought the Imperial Shadow to the entrance of the main hall.

"Thank you." Huangying put away the heart of the strong and tried to be as polite as possible.

The guards ignored him, and went to the door of the main hall, with one hand on the hilt of the sword, and the other hanging down, not squinting and motionless. Huang Ying was bored, turned around and walked into the main hall, he had already seen Ji Yang sitting directly above.

"Dongying Huangying, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu." The Imperial Shadow didn't bow down in the end, but just bowed his hands.

"Bold, don't kneel down when you see the King of Shu!" Pojun scolded.

The Imperial Shadow stood in the hall with a stubborn head, responding to the accusations of breaking the army with silence.

"Don't be reluctant, if you don't kneel sincerely, you can't do it." Ji Yang waved his hand and motioned for Pojun to sit back, but in fact, he was just too lazy to dwell on such a trivial matter.

"King Shengming of Shu." Huangying rarely slapped a sycophant, there is no way, there is a request for others.

"You must have come here to accept the surrender, and this king will not change once he opens his Chrysostom." Ji Yang said.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, I have questions." Imperial Shadow said.

"Say." Ji Yang said.

"According to your holy will, the emperor must abdicate and relinquish power, and hand over all military and political power to the admiral of the Central Plains. In this way, Dongying is equivalent to a province in the Central Plains, and the people of Dongying are subjects of the Celestial Empire. Since you are a subject of the Celestial Empire, you still ask for compensation of one billion taels of silver, don't you trap these subjects in life and death. The Imperial Shadow said.

Before he came, he thought of a lot of ways, begged for coercion, and even coerced the king of Shu, but in the end, Huang Ying thought of a way that he thought was very clever. Dongying has become a province in the Central Plains, and it is a family, so what compensation do you need?

As long as the compensation of one billion taels of silver is subtracted, the imperial shadow's trip can be said to be a complete success. Because he is most concerned about the people of Dongying, not the military and political power of the emperor, sacrificing power for the people's livelihood, the emperor does not think there is anything wrong.

"Don't change the concept, as long as Dongying still has the position of emperor, he is not a subject of the Central Plains. At most, the king replaced the admiral with the military and political ambassador in Dongying, and the other requirements remained the same. "What kind of person is Ji Yang, how can he be fooled by the people of ancient times.

"This..."Huangying was dumbfounded, the plan he had worked so hard to come up with was broken by Ji Yang.

Jing Xiulian nodded secretly, Ji Yang had already gained his respect in martial arts, benevolence, righteousness and ability. Now it seems that Ji Yang's political literacy is also very high, and he is definitely a master.

Po Jun looked at the imperial shadow with a sneer, and he also wanted to fool His Royal Highness the King of Shu.

Huangying's thoughts turned sharply, and he couldn't think of a way to refute it, he was not good at political communication. In the end, Huang Ying sighed in his heart, knelt down on his knees, and said with a sad face: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, your army has already punished Dongying enough, if you pay another billion taels of silver, even if you take out the money of everyone in Dongying, I am afraid you will not be able to make up so much money, you are forcing the people of Dongying to die." ”

Ji Yang smiled and said, "Huangying, you don't have to pretend in front of me for this little bit of acting skills." As for the issue of reparations, I could have been a little more lenient and would not have let your people die. ”

Huangying was embarrassed at first, and then said with great joy: "Is this true? ”

Jing Xiulian, Pojun and Xiang Pingdong were a little anxious, should the King of Shu be moved like this.

"I can't take out a billion taels of silver, so I can use other things as collateral. As far as I know, Dongying is very rich in gold and silver minerals, and you can use the mine as collateral. If the mine is not enough, you can use the samurai as a mortgage, and a samurai of the fivefold realm will count you as a hundred taels of silver. If you don't even have enough samurai, ordinary people can do it, and I just need a lot of labor to build a road. Ji Yang said.

Huangying almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, which is a grace limit, it is clearly trying to dig up Dongying's old bottom.

Jing Xiulian and the three of them relaxed and smiled again, which was very much in line with their hearts.

Beside Ji Yang, an internal historian worked hard to record the conversation between Ji Yang and Huangying, and even Jing Xiu's expressions of the three of them. Historians are usually very upright, truth-seeking, and will never scribble as long as they are not particularly oppressed.

In history, even some historians were reluctant to rewrite history even if they were beheaded by the emperor.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the Emperor Ying implores you to raise your noble hand and reduce some compensation slightly." Huangying lowered his head again, he had an urge to draw his sword at that moment just now, but he sensed Ji Yang's unfathomable aura and held back.

Moreover, You Tanzhi next to Ji Yang, Jing Xiulian, who was sitting on both sides of His Royal Highness, broke the army and went to Pingdong. The four of them are all first-class congenital masters, especially Jing Xiulian, who was originally very high in martial arts, and has reached the late congenital stage after more than ten years of refined cultivation.

Coupled with Ji Yang's five innate masters, Huangying is not sure at all.

"You shouldn't come to plead with me, what you want to plead with is the people of the Central Plains, if the people of the Central Plains forgive you, I will raise my noble hand." Ji Yang said with a solemn expression, and slapped the next request of the imperial shadow back into his stomach.

Huangying rarely talks to people, not to mention that a person like Ji Yang who is quick and forward-thinking, will be scolded back by Ji Yang every time.

Huang Ying showed the death of struggle, and suddenly took down the Silent Knife on his back, held it in both hands and said: "This Silent Knife has accompanied me all my life, it is a peerless divine weapon, a priceless treasure, and it can be given to His Royal Highness the King of Shu." ”

He once gave up his wife and daughter for the sake of the Silent Knife, which shows the status of this knife in his heart.

"Present it and have a look." Ji Yang was a little interested in the Silent Knife.

You Tanzhi walked down and took the stunned knife and presented it to Ji Yang, Ji Yang took the knife and held the handle of the knife, and pulled it out with a sonorous sound. The Silent Knife trembled violently, emitting a sharp and silky sword, trying to force Ji Yang back.

"The name of the knife is shocking, and it is sharp and restrained because of a hundred years of loneliness, so the person who holds the knife is not injured. Even if the martial arts team competed with the knife with internal force, they still ended up with a broken meridian. Ji Yang said.

"You know the Silent Knife!" The Emperor was shocked.

"It's just a knife, why does this king need a sharp weapon." After Ji Yang pulled out the Silent Knife, he did not urge the internal force, but only used his power to deter the spirit of the Silent Knife. Like the Kaifeng Long Yuan and Chengying Sword, the Silent Knife is also a weapon of Kaifeng, so it can automatically hurt people.

Ji Yang has been in retreat for ten years, practicing the Supreme Gong, Zhu Xianjue, Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, Tai Chi Gong, and the four martial arts are all peerless martial arts that shake the past and the present, and surpass the existence of peerless martial arts.

The strength of his true element, the tenacity of his body, the enormity of his primordial spirit, the power of his will, and the pinnacle of his spells are not something that a silent knife can compete with. Even if he didn't urge Zhenyuan, the Silence Knife wouldn't hurt him in the slightest, and Ji Yang's will had the Supreme Sword Qi in his will, completely suppressing the Silence Knife.

However, after a cup of tea, the Silent Sword quieted down and surrendered to Ji Yang's might.

"How is that possible!" The Emperor's eyes cracked.

In order to become the strongest sword hegemon, the first swordsman in Dongying - Huangying. After a day and a night of hard work, blood stained his arm, and finally he got the famous knife that destroyed people's fingers - Shock.

It took Huangying a day and a night to subdue the Silent Knife, and Ji Yang only used a tea hour.

The light of fireflies, how can it compete with the vast moon.

"A good treasure sword, it can be counted as 100 million taels of silver." Ji Yang exclaimed.

"It's priceless." Huangying was not convinced, if it weren't for Dongying, he would not have exchanged a billion taels of silver.

"Hmph, it's polite to give you 100 million taels of silver, since you don't want to, take the knife back." Ji Yang snorted lightly, put the Silent Knife back into its sheath, and threw it to the Imperial Shadow like garbage.

In the original book, Nameless once used his hair infused with true qi to cut off the Silent Knife. Ji Yang knew this plot, how could he take the Silent Knife too seriously, 100 million taels was really bleeding.

Huang Ying took the Silent Sword, and his heart was extremely humiliated, his beloved sword was so underestimated.

Jing Xiulian and the four of them secretly said that it was a pity, this Silent Knife was really powerful, Ji Yang didn't need it, if they took it, their combat power could be greatly increased. Especially Xiang Pingdong, among the four people, Jing Xiulian and Pojun both use swords, You Tanzhi is empty-handed, but he is an expert in using swords.

"The Central Plains has always been based on benevolence and righteousness, is there really no room for it?" The Imperial Shadow is making the final persuasion.

"The people of the Central Plains do pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, if we are friends, I am willing to tell you benevolence and righteousness. However, there is no emphasis on benevolence, righteousness and morality between countries, only interests, because I am carrying tens of millions of people. ”

Ji Yang said in a serious tone: "Marshal Jing, there is still Commander Xiang of the broken army, you all listen." We must not talk about personal feelings or empty words in major national affairs, and we must put national interests first in everything. ”

Jing Xiulian and a few people immediately walked out, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will remember the instructions of the prince!" ”

Hearing Ji Yang's words, Huangying woke up in his heart and was completely disappointed at the same time. It turned out that Ji Yang's request for compensation was not arbitrary, but to implement the will of the country, and the will of the country was not something he could change.

"Huangying, it is undeniable that there are indeed good people in Dongying, but the country of Dongying is like a jackal. It is not peeping at the Central Plains all the time, when the Central Plains is strong, it will hibernate, and once the Central Plains reveals a flaw, this jackal will pounce. I have seen through the will of the country, and its will cannot be changed by you alone. Ji Yang said.

There is a saying in the Green Religion that just because the Green Church has many terrorists, the entire Green Religion cannot be discriminated against.

So some people believed it, thinking that they should be friendly to the Green Church, unless they were killed by the terrorists of the Green Church, otherwise they had to be treated equally.

Dongying people have a saying: You can't discriminate against the entire Dongying just because there are many jackals in Dongying.

So some people believed it, thinking that they should be friendly to Dongying, unless they were bitten to death by Dongying's jackals, otherwise they had to be treated equally.

Westerners say that personality is equal and that all people should be treated equally.

So some people believed it, they were despised because of poverty, they couldn't find a girlfriend, and when they were turned away from the hospital, they still shouted not to abuse criminals, not to discriminate against foreign races, not to belittle Japan and South Korea.

What a noble group of people, and we should really learn from them. It's a pity that they all ignore that the equality of personality only applies when it is in the mother's womb, and after the mother's womb, there is too much inequality.

"I see, the Imperial Shadow is retiring." Imperial Shadow suffered a great blow, and how much he wanted to argue for Dongying, but he couldn't.

The imperial shadow walked out of the Taiyuan Admiral's Mansion in despair, looking at the stunned knife in his hand and sighing. But soon, he became firm again, as Ji Yang said, the country can't be emotional, and Huangying will not give up saving Dongying because of Ji Yang's evaluation.

The king of Shu was unwilling to change his will, and the emperor, Huangying rushed to Suzhou with hope.

"If the world is compared to an island, then the country is the person who survives on the island. These people are struggling on the islands where there is a limited supply of freshwater, food and timber, and you say, what do they need most? Ji Yang asked.

"The last general thought that they needed a knife the most." Pojun said.

"Yes, they need a knife above all else, because it is dangerous to fall asleep on a dangerous island, and you must always hold on to the hilt of the knife and be vigilant. If you sleep too hard, then even a weak person can sneak up on him to death. On the island, they may ally with you, they may befriend you, or they may say nice things about you. But when it comes to vital interests, any feelings are fake. Ji Yang said.

"The words of the King of Shu are alarming, but it is a pity that there are too many sour Confucians in the Central Plains, and they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality if they don't do the right thing." Jing Xiulian fully recognized Ji Yang's concept, and had the idea of supporting him to become the emperor in his heart.

The three of them also nodded in approval, and had a deeper understanding of the relationship between countries.

The reason why Ji Yang said this to them is because these people may become pillars of the country in the future. They must clearly understand that national diplomacy cannot be kidnapped by the sour benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Like the law of the jungle in the three-body problem, between countries, the law of islands can be compared. Especially in ancient times, when information was not so developed, it was definitely the stupidest thing to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality between countries.

Many Han people have such a mentality, that is, they can't do it first, otherwise they will be unreasonable, and they can't bully other countries, for fear of retaliation. In fact, there is no such thing at all, if you force you to bully him, he will still be obedient. If you are weak and you stand still, even if you were a friend before, people will still bully you.

"People talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, because we are all a group, a family. Since ancient times, Confucianism has been talking about grace and subduing the world, but in fact, it is cruelty outside and cruelty inside, and this king must ban this diplomatic method in the future. "Ji Yang is categorical.

"The last general is willing to go to the soup and fire, drive the way for the prince, and achieve his ambition!" Jing Xiulian couldn't hear it, and immediately stood up to make a statement.

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't give up!" The three of them also knelt down on one knee and expressed their hearts to Ji Yang.

Ji Yang nodded secretly, Jing Xiulian and the four of them were completely surrendered, and they could become his ministers. He thought to himself: Huangying should go to the emperor, and with the emperor's way of thinking, he will definitely agree to Huangying's request.

I hope that the emperor is a little more brain-dead and directly cancels the compensation and the cession.
