After a while, the next person sent pen and ink, Liu Yuan lifted the brush, and began to write, and after he put down the pen, he couldn't help but blow the ink lightly, and handed it to Chu Xiangdao: "Lord Xiangguo, please take a look." ”

Chu Xiang took it and looked at it carefully.

On the silk book, it was naturally written that the two countries of Feng and Chu had a gold and silver compensation issue after the war, and after reading it, Chu Xiang said with a look of embarrassment: "This, Lord Liu, can there be any less?" ”

"Oh, I said the old prime minister, didn't you and I already discuss it just now, 60 million taels of silver, 10,000 horses of silk, and five carts of jade and jade, which is very little." Liu Yuan said.

"Hey! All right! Chu Xiang sighed helplessly, and then reluctantly took out the phase seal.

Seeing him take out the photo seal, Liu Yuan's eyes immediately widened, staring tightly, and the expression was undoubtedly saying: You should press it.

Because at that time, Xiangyin's right was undoubted, and he could even cut the land, as long as Chu Xiang pressed it, this matter would be done, and Chu would no longer have room to regret it.

But Chu Xiang took the seal, but he refused to whereabout, and after hesitating for a long time, he looked at Liu Yuan and said, "Lord Liu, I think you and I can discuss this matter again......

Ah! Seeing this, Liu Yuan immediately became anxious, he couldn't help but stand up, came to Chu Xiang's side, and said: "Lord Xiangguo, how can you regret the things that were discussed just now, you know, you are the prime minister of a country." ”

"This ......" Chu Xiang was still embarrassed, but the matter had come to this point, Liu Yuan was in a hurry, and in the end, he was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and pressed Xiangyin on the silk book.

Seeing that it was done, Liu Yuan hurriedly took the silk book, then quickly glanced at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he hurriedly put it into his arms as if he was a baby, and then smiled with a smile on his face, and said to Chu Xiang: "In this way, I won't bother the old prime minister in the future." ”

He left when he finished his errand, leaving Chu Xiang there sighing. And after he left the Prime Minister's Mansion of Chu State, he also went directly to find Lu Chen to recover his life.

In the Chu Capital Post House, after reading the silk book, Lu Chen also nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, Chu Xiangxiang is here, and this matter is decided." ”

As he spoke, he also handed the silk book to Liu Yuan again, and said: "The following things are still up to you, you can transfer some Pingzhou soldiers from Hanyang to escort the gold and silver back to China as soon as possible." ”

"Wechen takes orders." Liu Yuan hurriedly said.

The next day, the Chu State was in the early dynasty.

In the court, Chu Xiang was also the first to come out and report the matter to the prince of Chu.

After hearing this, the latter's eyes widened on the spot and said, "What did you say!? Sixty million taels of silver! Five carts of jade jade!? ”

"This ......" Chu Xiang swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "This is still the result of the old minister's hard work, and before, the price of the Wind Country was higher." ”

"You!" Prince Chu was extremely angry, but he had no choice, and besides, he couldn't blame Chu Xiang. After taking a deep breath, he said angrily, "Forget it! I can afford this money! This matter will be arranged by the prime minister! ”

"No." Chu Xiang hurriedly responded.

Then, he said: "King, compensate for the gold and silver of the Wind Country, this is what it should be, although the asking price is high, but our country is still acceptable, but it is only a matter of territoriality, which is the most important thing." ”

"Is this still up to you? The king is also considering the matter. Prince Chu said.

Chu Xiang said: "But right now, even Princess Shaoyang went to deal with this matter, but there was no result, and the old minister also asked to see the Wind King, but was perfunctory by the Wind King. In addition, the two counties of Dongyang and Guiyuan in our country are also occupied by the Qing army, and if our country does not react in any way and chooses to remain silent in this matter, I am afraid that it will ......."

When he said this, there was no sound, Prince Chu couldn't help glaring at him, and said angrily: "Then what do you say!" Do you want to let the two saber soldiers of Ben Wang and Feng Chu meet!? ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiang was startled, and hurriedly lowered his body, not daring to speak.

At this time, another minister came out and said: "King, over there in the Wind Country, the Wind King is perfunctory, my country can ignore it for the time being, and now we should send an envoy to Qingwang to ask for Dongyang and Guiyuan counties." ”

"The envoy must be sent, but in the eyes of this king, I am afraid that this time the envoy will be sent to Qingqing in vain." Prince Chu said helplessly.

After finishing speaking, he looked around at the ministers in the palace again, and continued: "The territory of my Chu State must be complete!" In the territory of my Chu country, he will never be allowed to be stationed in the ** team! If you ask for it from the two countries like this, they will definitely not give it, rather than this, it is better to find a way to provoke a war between the two countries, at that time, my Chu country will become very important, and if you ask for the territory from it, they will not dare not give it. ”

Yes!? Hearing this, the ministers of the Chu State in the palace couldn't help but gasp.

Prince Chu sneered, and then said, "This is the way of checks and balances!" ”

The people looked at each other, and then shouted in unison: "I am Wang Yingming"

Don't look at the Prince of Chu as if he was standing on the side of the Wind Country, but after he ascended the throne, his national policy was exactly the same as that of the old King of Chu.

After the Chu side asked the Feng army to withdraw from Hanyang to no avail, it also sent an envoy again and entered the Qingguo.

However, after his envoy entered the Qingguo court, although the Qingwang treated him politely, in the two counties of Dongyang and Guiyuan, he was exactly the same as Lu Chen, perfunctory and prevaricated.

In this regard, in fact, it had long been expected by Prince Chu, and he did not have any hope for the envoy at all.

After the disappointed resignation of the Chu envoy, King Qing immediately began to discuss this matter with the ministers of the court.

He frowned slightly, and said with some worry: "This time, my country refuses to return Dongyang and Guiyuan, and this king is a little worried, will it be because of this matter that the two countries will meet each other." Although this king is not afraid of the Chu army, he has to consider the alliance of wind and Chu. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister stood up and said: "My king doesn't have to worry, the internal turmoil in Chu has just been settled, the situation is unstable, at this moment, the new King of Chu will definitely not dare to use troops lightly, not to mention, the Fengguo side, didn't Hanyang and Sanjiangkou also not be returned." ”

"Yes." Qingwang nodded slightly, and then subconsciously looked at Shangguan Jin, the prime minister of Qingguo, and asked, "What is the prime minister's opinion on this matter?" ”

Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, in fact, if you don't return the two counties of Chu, the effect is the same, because if we return it, it doesn't mean that the state of Chu will stand on our side, rather than this, it's better not to pay it back." ”

"This king understands." Qingwang nodded.

Shangguan Jin continued: "The most important thing at the moment is not to return the two counties, but to find a way to make Feng Chu evil. ”
