1040. Emperor Yuan was sick

Zhou Xingyan didn't think about it.

Although Kublai Khan is 70 years old, Kublai Khan's physical condition has been very good in recent years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is old and strong.

After a little silence, Zhou Xingyan said: "I came to discuss the matter of peace with the emperor on the order of my dynasty, and I dare to ask the envoy of the General System to make the decision?" ”

Sang Ge arched his hand and said: "If this official can't make the decision, he will report it to the emperor." ”

When Zhou Xingyan heard him say this, he no longer had any worries in his heart, and said directly; "The emperor of our dynasty is willing to agree to your dynasty's request for peace, but your dynasty needs to return all the Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Liangzhejiang East Road, and Liangzhejiang West Road that originally belonged to our dynasty."

Sang Ge didn't show any surprise.

He knew that the little emperor of the Song Kingdom would inevitably put forward such a condition.

It is no secret that the ministers of the Song State did not want to take back their territory all the time.

Sang Ge frowned slightly, and only said: "Then those soldiers of our Yuan Dynasty who were captured in the territory of the Gui Dynasty ......"

Zhou Xingyan said: "The Gui Dynasty withdraws its troops, and after our dynasty receives the territory, we will send those soldiers to the border of the Gui Dynasty intact. ”

Sang Ge nodded slightly.

This was within the reach of him and Kublai Khan.

Thinking about it, Zhao Dongting just wants to take back Huainan West Road and other roads, which is really far from being a lion's mouth.

Because with the current soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, if they do not destroy the New Song Dynasty and Dali, but the soldiers are directed at the Yuan Dynasty. It is even very likely that the Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed directly.

Zhou Xingyan saw Brother Sang nodding and said, "Then did the envoy of the General System agree?" ”

Brother Sang frowned slightly, "Your dynasty has lost land, and I am willing to return it." It's just that...... How long can your dynasty promise not to invade our territory? ”

It's really shameless to say this.

The development of the Yuan Dynasty to the present, there has never been such an experience. Of course, Fu suggested that it was not counted that time.

But Sango had to say again.

Because the current strength of the Yuan Dynasty is no longer comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty.

The reason why this matter was not mentioned in the peace letter was because there was too much room for bargaining in this matter.

Zhou Xingyan said: "How long does the General System Yuan want it?" ”

There was always a faint smile on his lips.

Since the imperial examination and the first, he was sent to this Yuan Dynasty, and he always endured the white eyes of these Yuan Dynasty officials. I've never felt this comfortable.

It's a refreshing taste.

Brother Sang groaned slightly, and finally said, "Ten years." ”

"Huh."

Zhou Xingyan smiled, "Do you think that the envoy of the General System will promise to give you such a long time to recuperate?" ”

There was a hint of anger on Sang Ge's face.

He seemed to see a little disdain and mockery in Zhou Xingyan's eyes.

And how could he have been treated like this before?

It has always been only their Yuan Dynasty officials who are domineering.

It took more than ten seconds for Brother Sang's chest to slowly calm down, and he said in a deep voice: "Then may I ask Lord Zhou, how long are your Great Song Emperors willing to keep peace?" ”

Zhou Xingyan smiled; "Peace will remain as long as there is left in the five-year period from the time of the blessing proposal."

"Too much deception!"

Sang Ge finally couldn't help but shoot the case, "You guys are too insincere." Isn't there only two years left for Blessed Suggestion and Reconciliation? ”

"But at the beginning, it was your Yuan Dynasty who tore up the agreement first. What's the point of deliberating for a long time? Zhou Xingyan was not angry, but said quietly.

These words made Desangge's expression stunned for a moment.

Yes, what was proposed and agreed upon was five years of peace. But as a result, didn't their Yuan Dynasty send troops to attack the Song Dynasty after just over two years?

They can break the contract, but the Song Dynasty can't break the contract?

The two countries are in confrontation, and the words on these documents are actually meaningless at all.

Even if the Song Emperor promised ten years of peace, the power of the Great Song Dynasty far surpassed that of their Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Song wants to break the contract, what can they do?

After a while, Sang Ge said slowly: "What does Lord Zhou mean, in this peace regulation, there is no need to discuss peacetime at all?" ”

Zhou Xingyan nodded very directly, "That's true." ”

Sango was silent again.

Suddenly, the discussion reached this point, and he realized that he couldn't make up his mind.

Although Zhou Xingyan is young, it is much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"I need to ask the emperor."

Eventually, Sango said.

Zhou Xingyan arched his hand, "Then I'll wait for your news from the General System Institute in the mansion?" ”

Sang Ge nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

Then, Zhou Xingyan left Zhongshu Province and went outside the palace. Sang Ge went directly to the depths of the palace.

He met Kublai Khan in his chamber.

Although it was only two days, Kublai Khan was much more emaciated than before. The whole face is full of age, and there is not much blood in sight.

Seeing Sang Ge to the bedside, Kublai Khan waved his hand a little weakly. All the eunuchs and maids in the palace walked out.

Kublai Khan said softly: "Has the peace negotiation come to fruition?" ”

Brother Sang shook his head slowly, "The minister didn't dare to make a decision on his own. ”

Then, he told Kublai Khan the story of his negotiation with Zhou Xingyan as it was.

This made Kublai Khan's face flush again, "The child deceived me......"

Blood was slowly flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Your Majesty!"

This scared Sango into discoloration.

However, Kublai Khan's tone finally went down, and he said as if talking to himself: "It's just that the situation is not as good as people, and I can't complain about people......"

He patted Sang Ge's shoulder lightly with his hand, just as the two of them did when they were young, "Let's tear up the agreement first and send troops to attack Song, this time it is really meaningless to discuss and negotiate a peace period." No matter the time limit, it always takes several years to come to the Song Kingdom to fall, stabilize Dali, the New Song Dynasty, and even the Yue Li Dynasty. In the past few years, as long as we have developed firearms that surpass them, we will not be afraid of them. However, if you can delay, the longer you delay, the safer it is......"

Sang Gewei was a little puzzled, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Kublai Khan said: "I heard that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty loved beauties, and went to Shuzhong for the beauties and broke into the Valley of Hundred Grasses. You are like this, marrying Mingzhu may make him a little worried. ”

"......"

Sang Ge exclaimed: "But will the little emperor of the Song Dynasty be willing to accept Her Royal Highness Princess Mingzhu as a concubine?" ”

Kublai Khan said quietly: "If he doesn't agree, we won't negotiate peace." Come to think of it, the little emperor of the Song Dynasty actually didn't want to continue to fight us. ”

Sang Ge nodded slightly.

Then there was silence in the room for several minutes.

Kublai Khan was in a very bad spirit, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

"The Emperor's ......"

Sang Ge said softly again: "Do you want to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Mingzhu about this matter?" If she doesn't want to marry...... She's your favorite princess, and she's the daughter of the Crown Prince......"

He clearly had a lot of concerns.

Kublai Khan slowly opened his eyes, but waved his hand and said, "No need." That girl won't refuse. She's made it a sad place. ”

"That's right."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed his voice: "How about letting you order the prince to return to the court quickly?" ”

Apparently Kublai Khan was reluctant to say much about Turandot.

After such a long time, Turandot has always snubbed him, and he also knows in his heart that Turandot can no longer be as close to him as before.

Even if Kublai Khan was ambitious and known as the iron-blooded king, at this age, it is inevitable that he will feel a little sad.

But this matter, but I really can't complain about Turandot.

After all, he was the one who gave up Turandot in the first place.

Sang Ge also heard that Kublai Khan was reluctant to talk too much about Turandot, and hurriedly replied: "The letter has been spread, and when the prince receives it, he will definitely return to the court immediately." The emperor is relieved. ”

"Alas......"

Kublai Khan suddenly sighed faintly, "Brother Sang, do you think Yeluzhu and Ah Shu can come back alive?" ”

Sang Ge just shook his head.

He wanted to say that the two of them would definitely come back, but he couldn't say it, because the hope was too slim.

Even though the two may not have died, the Song Dynasty may be willing to let those soldiers return to the dynasty, but it probably won't let go of Yeluzhu and Ashu. The status of the two of them in the Yuan Dynasty was too high.

Kublai Khan sighed again, "At the beginning, we were old brothers, and now there are not a few people left, right?" ”

Sango remained silent.

Thoughts seem to drift to the distant past.

On the grassland, more than a dozen horses and more than a dozen brothers galloped on horseback......

And now, most of them have passed away, and some are also on the opposite side of the emperor.
