Chapter 264: The Joy of Peace Talks
In the early morning of the next day, not long after the East Garden opened, Zhu Yuanzhang came in person, and as soon as they met, he said attentively: "Several ancestors came to Yingtian, I ordered someone to make dim sum, and invited the ancestors to enjoy it!"
"Okay, if you have a heart, you can go! Tell Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen that we will start peace talks in the afternoon, you are very anxious! Haha! Taiping, tell our Marshal Yingxue that she should restrain the army, unless she escapes, no one can be killed, hehe, their lives are worth a lot!" Mengjing smiled proudly.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was a little relieved, but he quickly retreated, speculating in his heart: This Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen are really clever, and they have almost counted their thoughts! It seems that humiliation is inevitable, and spending money is also necessary, but it must be within a reasonable range! Otherwise, everyone will not be able to eat, so what else will the country see?
Thinking of this, he also had a fixed opinion, and finally, his face was shiny, and the whole person was relaxed.
When the ministers saw it, they were naturally surprised, but they were also overjoyed, so that everyone's life would be better, at least, his face would not be so stinky, and everyone could talk;
"Well, at present, everything in our Daming affairs is back to the old! Berwyn, Shanchang, you are responsible for making peace talks with Princess Liyue of Dayuan, remember, they give whatever they want, of course, I am eating, drinking, and having fun on the day! As for the silver, you must calculate carefully! By the way, you can go to the peace talks this afternoon!" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly ordered.
Li Shanchang hurriedly responded: "Yes, don't worry, the emperor can rest assured, we will handle things properly! However, when it is time to drink at night, the emperor still has to be present in person to suppress the formation of Weichen and others!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be there in the evening, alas, we're all going to be busy during this time! Okay, let's go our separate ways!
With just one sentence, almost everyone understood what was going on: It seemed that the treasury was about to be emptied again! The bitter days of the Ming Dynasty had just begun!
Let's say that Mengjing checked the refreshments sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, tasted it, and felt good, but when she was about to give it to Princess Taiping, she smiled: "Sister Meng, it's good to taste it herself! This thing sent by Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't suit my appetite, it's hard, and it's not a good thing at first glance!"
"You're right, this Zhu Yuanzhang likes to eat baked cakes the most, so, haha, his hobby is definitely not to your taste! Good brother, Han'er, do you want to try it?"
Xiao Han took one, but gave half of it to Princess Taiping, and smiled: "This baked cake is also very delicious, it must be made by Ma Dajia himself, she is a queen, and the things made are still a little expensive!"
Princess Taiping reluctantly ate two bites before laughing: "This taste is really not good, it's just that what is this green, it looks pretty good, haha!"
"Haha, you girl also has something you don't know? Let me tell you, this is a leek, the people's favorite thing to eat, haha, we also planted it in Sanhe Town!" Xiao Han spoke, with a nostalgic and sad expression.
Seeing this, Princess Taiping stopped smiling, kissed him, and then sighed: "Brother, did you remember that Master Zhou again?" Forget it, it's all over, hehe, don't be sad!"
"Got it, thank you, sister, you think I'm Wan'er? haha!" Xiao Han smiled proudly.
Li Xuanyue looked at them with interest for a while before she smiled: "It's so good, you two boys are really good, the relationship is too deep, hehe, it seems that Xiaohan and Yu'er have a very good relationship with her, it's all good!
"Yu'er, just like Sister Yue, I'm not ashamed to say it, it's my brother's dream, haha!" Princess Taiping had already seen through the relationship between them and smiled proudly.
Li Xuanyue was stunned for a moment, and shook her head unconsciously, but she smiled heartily, as if she completely understood her thoughts.
Mengjing is even more happy: "You girl is the most well-behaved, okay, Yu'er is like our Yue'er, it's very good, it's good material to be a queen, haha, but we are the best!" After speaking, he smiled proudly.
Princess Taiping smiled, and immediately kissed her and Li Xuanyue's faces for a while, before she smiled: "Hehe, thank you ancestors for your appreciation, haha, let's have breakfast, my Mei'er brought a delicious breakfast!" After speaking, she personally served them.
"Taiping, why are you so enthusiastic about serving today? Taiping has come out of the west!" Lin Xuemei was surprised when she saw it, and quickly asked her, looking puzzled.
Princess Taiping laughed, but she didn't explain, looked at Xiao Han proudly, and asked him to speak.
Xiao Han was happy, hugged Lin Xuemei in his arms, kissed her a few times, and then smiled: "Our stupid girl compares herself to Sister Meng, so she is very proud, haha, do you say she is amazing?"
"Oh, that's it, that's Taiping, it's amazing!Hehe, who am I?" Lin Xuemei smiled and hurriedly asked Princess Taiping, looking forward to it.
Princess Taiping was happy, kissed her, and then smiled proudly: "You are my Mei'er girl, my number one bodyguard, hehe, you are also my brother's number one beauty, look, my brother takes you with him wherever he goes! So, you are our best accessory!" After speaking, he quickly kissed her on the pretty face a few times.
When Lin Xuemei heard this, she also smiled proudly, her face was charming, which attracted Xiao Han's happiness, and she quickly kissed the two of them a few times before starting to eat breakfast.
But he was stunned by Zhang Cuishan: "You are like this every day, aren't you tired?
"Hehe, old ancestor, you owe a lesson! Okay, don't talk about this, this is your little beauty's responsibility, not ours! Okay, after breakfast, let's talk about business! In the afternoon, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang are coming, we have to continue to play with them, don't we?" Princess Taiping has returned to the topic.
Mengjing sighed, glanced at her appreciatively, and then smiled: "How many hearts do you have this girl? It's so fast that I can't keep up! Haha, are you also practicing swords in your life? This speed, strength, and rhythm are almost like playing a game!"
"Aren't we just playing a game?" Old Ancestor, this time, I'm afraid that I have to give Zhu Yuanzhang a way to live, otherwise, it's going to be boring!" Xiao Han thought and said.
Li Xuanyue admired Xiao Han even more, and smiled: "Xianggong, you have to be positive, you have to keep up with the rhythm of Xiao Han and Princess Taiping, hehe, this is what we have to learn from them!"
In the afternoon, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen really came! This time, their faces looked much better than last time!
As soon as they met, the two hurriedly said goodbye: "The ancestors are well, let's listen to the instructions of the ancestors, please show the ancestors!"
"Hehe, you two seem to be very happy, why? Is it that we want too little, so you two think we are too kind? Do you want us to double the chips again?"
When Li Shanchang heard this, he suddenly felt a little distracted, a little crying and laughing, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no! Old Ancestor, we have long been so frightened by you that almost everyone is in danger! Just to see Old Ancestor, we are happy, happy! Haha, Old Ancestor, don't you play with us, who are our opponents? Please Ancestor raise your noble hand, raise your noble hand!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Ancestor Shengming, we are now serving our ancestors, and we strive to satisfy our ancestors!" Liu Bowen also hurriedly smiled.
Princess Taiping looked at them for a moment, and then smiled: "It's about the same, Sister Meng, hehe, I see that these two boys are also well-behaved enough, then, let's start negotiating! Hehe, if my brother doesn't want to listen, you can drink, Mei'er, Xiaogao, Xiaoyun, you wait for my brother!"
"Yes, Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, hehe, fortunately, it's afternoon, Xiao Gao, Xiao Yun, let's drink! Let them be busy! Brother Yu, why don't you take your beauty to drink with us Han'er, how about it?" Lin Xuemei smiled.
When Zhang Cuishan heard this, he smiled: "Let's go, Yue'er, you help Meng'er deal with the matter here, let's drink!" After speaking, he proudly took a few Mongolian beauties and left.
Seeing them go, Li Xuanyue smiled: "Two adults, please, haha, now, one of you is a prime minister and a middle minister, all of you are Zhu Yuanzhang's first-class celebrities! Haha, then, Sister Meng, let's start negotiating, Taiping, let's serve tea!"
After speaking, he and Princess Taiping began to pour tea.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Then Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen hurriedly thanked and smiled: "I don't know what Her Royal Highness Princess Lianyue has to say?"
Mengjing sighed, then took out the terms they had drafted earlier, and smiled: "Simple, just these three articles, the most important thing is that you don't make mistakes anymore, peace between the two countries is the most important! Otherwise, once a fight starts, your Central Plains will be blue and white porcelain! What are we afraid of in the prairie? We are the sea on the prairie, we all laugh at how many you come, we are very wide there, haha!" After speaking, his face was also cautious.
Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen looked at it, and sighed unconsciously, Li Shanchang smiled bitterly: "Ancestor, we have relied on the other two, but this compensation is too much, 10 million taels of silver, 3 million taels of gold, we really can't take it out! Even if we sell the Ming Dynasty, we can't change it!"
"This is just our proposal, haha, this is to do business, the two sides must negotiate! You think, hehe, if there are no four King Kongs, this Ming is afraid that the days will be numbered! Don't talk about us, even Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's subordinates can resurrect themselves, and they can also finish you playing!" Mengjing smiled.
Princess Taiping liked to play with them the most, and smiled: "Hehe, this condition, let's open it, you can negotiate with Zhu Yuanzhang, haha, as for how much to give, how to give, you look at it! The money is not enough, you can make an IOU! Haha, we are not afraid that you will pay the debt!"
As soon as she said this, Liu Bowen's eyes suddenly lit up: Can you learn from Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou? But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, she immediately denied their idea, and they made it clear that they were playing with the Ming Dynasty, the purpose was to make Zhu Yuanzhang have a good life!
"Well, the old ancestor is right, but this amount is too big, even our emperor, who heard it yesterday, was also scared stupid, so, old ancestor, can you cut half of the price? Five million taels of silver, gold, one million taels of silver! It's just that I'm afraid that our Ming Dynasty won't be able to come up with it at present! As for the IOU, there is only one way!" Li Shanchang began to bargain.
When Princess Taiping heard this, she smiled: "You kid is really a big expert in business, haha, then negotiate slowly! Sister Meng, maybe our Yue'er is not here, otherwise, that girl can bargain for you!"
"Forget it, we don't need her! Let's just talk about it idlely, haha, this business, it doesn't matter! Then talk slowly, good man, you cut half with us, it will definitely not work!"
