Chapter 224: The Man Who Disappeared from the Horizon (Part II)

At the negotiation table, Yuan Bolang opened the instructions given to him by the emperor, which listed several conditions in addition to some negotiation limits, and also set out several conditions, which he looked at and did not feel too harsh, or in his opinion, these conditions were quite reasonable.

People have different situations and very different positions.

"Article 1." Yuan Bolang glanced up at Meng Chuliang, lowered his head and read, "The Huai army will withdraw from Jiangbei immediately, and it will not be allowed to set foot in Jiangbei from now on." ”

Reading this, although Yuan Bolang felt that it was reasonable, he also felt that Liu Yu was a little too taken for granted. Even if King Huai really agreed to this condition, would he really abide by the treaty and never violate the border again? But it's okay to think about it, anyway, negotiations are based on mutual trust, and setting some conditions that others are easy to repent, in fact, is to clarify your own position.

Meng Chuliang said: "This one can be considered, how many are there next?" ”

"Two more. Second, Huaidi was incorporated into the official body of the imperial court, and the appointment and dismissal of officials were all based on the orders of the superiors. "Yuan Bolang thinks this is the most relieving, if King Huai agrees to this condition, it is equivalent to relieving the worries of Huaidi from the root, as long as the appointment and dismissal of officials in Huaidi is handled by the imperial court, then King Huai will not be able to make trouble." Huai Xiang, this must be done, you Huai Wang...... No problem, right? ”

Meng Chuliang didn't say much, but was silent for a moment and then said: "This is not the master, and I have to go back and ask King Huai." Let's talk about the last one. ”

Yuan Bolang nodded and said: "This third rule is very simple, that is, when the prince of Huai returns to Jiankang City, King Huai must personally go out of the city to greet him." Still...... Let King Huai go to Xuzhou City to meet the Son of Heaven. ”

Yuan Bolang didn't feel anything at first, but after reading it, he felt that something was wrong. If you think about it, isn't this clearly telling King Huai that the Son of Heaven is now in Xuzhou City? Do you want King Huai to go to the court? It's good that he doesn't send troops. The city of Xuzhou was already crumbling under the onslaught of the Huai army. Isn't it to put the Son of Heaven in danger?

Yuan Bolang scolded Liu Yu for his stupidity in his heart. The battle situation is unknown, but now the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven are exposed, if King Huai immediately sends troops, now Xuzhou City is empty of defense, and it is likely to fall. Without the Son of Heaven, what will the imperial court rely on to fight in the future?

The meaning of this article is actually that if the King of Huai wants to meet the Son of Heaven, the Luan of the Son of Heaven will move to Xuzhou City. Received the King of Huai. ”

Yuan Bolang's general explanation of wanting to cover up made Meng Chuliang very disdainful, as a Huai Xiang, he had long known that Lu Daoluan was in Xuzhou City now, which was not a big secret, but this Yuan Bolang was playing smart here.

"Finished?" Meng Chuliang asked.

"It's over." Yuan Bolang nodded.

"Since the conditions of the imperial court have been opened, then King Huai also has two conditions for the prime minister to convey on his behalf." Meng Chuliang didn't give Yuan Bolang a chance to refuse, and said directly, "The first one, the prince of Huaidi, that is, the lord of Minjun." It must be returned to Huaidi immediately and unconditionally. The so-called two armies do not fight each other, does the imperial court not even understand this rule? ”

Yuan Bolang said angrily: "Then Su Min went to persuade the guards of Tongguan to surrender." Can this also claim to be a messenger? If you don't kill her, it's already the emperor's grace, and if you say more, the old man will leave, and there will be no need to talk about it. ”

Meng Chuliang glanced at the envoy of King Ding next to him, and the envoy hurriedly got up to persuade him, and after talking for a long time, Yuan Bolang's anger still couldn't be swallowed, but he also knew that it was too hasty for Lu Dao to leave like this, so he sat down angrily, wanting to hear what King Huai's second condition was.

"Second, the king of Nayu must return the throne to the king of Huai, so that the king of Huai can recognize his throne and accept it with the gift of Zen. He could be his king in the future. ”

If Yuan Bolang can barely accept the previous article, after all, he doesn't care about the life or death of the county lord of Namin, just as a bargaining chip to delay time. The next day, Yuan Bolang almost wanted to go up and tear this Meng Chuliang apart. Is this a condition that a courtier should make? The condition for recognizing the new emperor's throne is to let the new emperor take the throne, doesn't that mean that the new emperor should be the "emperor"?

Yuan Bolang slapped the table and immediately scolded, while Meng Chuliang'an over there sat as before, turning his head to the side and not listening. The envoy who set the king next to him was still admonishing.

In the first negotiation, the two sides obviously could not reach a consensus, and it can even be said that King Huai had no sincerity in negotiating. The two sides could only break up unhappily.

When Yuan Bolang entered the post house, when he inquired, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, he got the news that the lord of Min County had been rescued by the secret envoy of Huaidi.

"How is this possible? It must be fake, probe again! ”

But no matter how he probed, the result was like this, so Yuan Bolang could only write a letter from a secret channel to ask the new emperor about the authenticity of this matter. On the third day, waiting for the exact news, the second negotiations also began. Because of the uncertainty of the situation, Yuan Bolang's momentum was not as turbulent as the first time.

The people and places involved in the negotiations remain the same as the first time.

"Yuan Xiangguo has been thinking about it for the past two days, I don't know what to think about?" Meng Chuliang looked like he was in his chest, which made Yuan Bolang feel even more confident. In other people's territory, if even the chips in his hands are taken back by force now, then his situation will be very dangerous.

"Don't think about it, what you're talking about is delusional!"

Meng Chuliang suddenly said aggressively: "Delusional? I'm afraid you've already secretly killed Lord Min, right? ”

"Nonsense! Lord Mingmin was rescued by you! ”

"We got it back?" Meng Chuliang was also stunned, when did this happen, could it be that Xuzhou had already succeeded? Even he didn't know about this news, or rather, Yuan Bolang was playing tricks again.

Meng Chuliang sneered: "So, don't you want to pay it back?" ”

"You rebels, sooner or later, you won't die well! Wait for you! Yuan Bolang pointed at Meng Chuliang's nose and scolded.

The second negotiation was successfully concluded in such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The two sides went back separately, and the more Yuan Bolang thought about it, the more angry he became, and now it was clear that the King of Huai was going to go through crooked ways instead of going through formal negotiation channels, and now he actually accused them of killing people. Thinking about it, it's not quite right, maybe I didn't expect it in my anger just now, and now Lord Min's life and death have not been confirmed after all. Was he rescued, or was he killed?

And Meng Chuliang over there informed King Huai of the news, and King Huai was also puzzled.

Meng Chuliang said: "What the surnamed Yuan said is conclusive, not like a lie. ”

"If he didn't lie, he deliberately let out the wind to confuse the public!" King Huai thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "It must be that Liu Wenyan, he is planning everything behind his back, this surnamed Yuan has always been at odds with him, it seems that Liu Wenyan wants the surname Yuan to come and go." ”

Zhou Ying, who accompanied Meng Chuliang to participate in the two negotiations, said: "This surnamed Yuan is not a good product!" It's better to kill him and avenge the county lord! ”

King Huai suddenly said angrily: "Not dead! What revenge? ”

Zhou Ying felt speechless and immediately pleaded guilty. King Huai was thinking about the whole thing, on the one hand, Xuzhou had to save people and also lost a lot of secret agents, on the other hand, there were rumors on this side, King Huai got the news that the lord of Min County was killed, and Yuan Bolang got the news that he was rescued, which seemed to be going on the road to the intensification of contradictions between the two sides.

Thinking about it, Liu Wenyan is not the biggest beneficiary of this matter. It seems that some people with ulterior motives deliberately want to make the relationship between King Huai and the court deteriorate and start a war.

"It's not the Turks, it's the intriguing vassal kings! Want to see the jokes of our Dashun royal family? Let's have a good time! King Huai clenched his fists and continued, "Inform the person surnamed Yuan, negotiate and then talk, according to the original conditions, but see what kind of person this king's imperial nephew is!"
