Chapter XXXVI Peace Negotiations
The next day, the foreigners sent envoys to the city of Caigu to prepare for peace and escort Ercha by the way. Seonan returns home.
When they arrived at the Li Mansion, they sent a word that the envoys of the foreign tribes had come.
When they entered, they saw that in the lobby, there were Lan Huang and Lan Guo Princess sitting directly above. On the left and right sat General Li and General Wan.
I saw the envoy kneeling down to pay respects, "See the emperor, princess!" Sima Xunye raised his hand and motioned for them to get up.
The envoy's tone of awe, "This is a peace document drafted by my imperial family, and I also ask Emperor Lan to look at it." ”
The second brother's personal guard, Han Yun, stepped forward to take the paperwork, and then handed it to the second brother, and after the second brother read it carefully, he gave it to Zhen Rong, who was sitting next to him.
He said gently, "Third sister, take a look! ”
Zhen Rong took it and read it one by one, and the content of it was all beneficial to Lan Guo, but I felt that this was just a helpless move after they were defeated, and I didn't like this kind of peace suppressed by power.
So, I looked up at them, and my tone was light and tactful, "It says that it bows down to my Lan Kingdom, is it sincere?" ”
When the messenger heard her voice, his body softened for some reason, and when he looked up and saw her watery and star-bright eyes, he was fascinated for some reason.
Seeing them looking at themselves in fascination, Zhen Rong's voice suddenly became a little colder, "What do I ask you?" ”
When several people heard this angry voice, they finally reacted, "Princess Hui, this is written by the emperor himself, of course, from the bottom of my heart." ”
Zhen Rong hooked her lips and sneered, "Really? As soon as she finished speaking, she took the peace book that she had supposedly written with sincerity, tore it in half, and threw it on the ground.
This scene directly shocked everyone, only to see Sima Xunye ask in shock, "Third sister, what are you doing?" ”
Zhen Rong smiled at him, "Second brother, do you think this is from their sincerity?" ”
After he asked, his second brother didn't speak, because who would really bow down to other countries!
Zhen Rong's soft smile and gentle tone, "Messenger, don't fool me with those high-sounding words, I'm not stupid, one country bows down to another, it will be sincere, you treat me as a three-year-old child, so easy to coax." ”
The envoy was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Gong, princess, my foreign people bow down to him, bow down to him, and bow down to him, it is really out of sincerity, and please princess Mingjian!"
Zhen Rong sneered, "Mingjian doesn't need to, I asked you to negotiate peace today, but I just want to tell you one thing." Your foreign clan is a neighbor of my Lan country, but you took advantage of the turmoil in my Lan country to invade my borders and kidnap my people, this account is not so easy to settle. ”
The messenger's face was full of fear, "Then how does the princess think this matter should be resolved?" ”
Zhen Rong smiled and said in a firm tone, "If this matter wants to be resolved, it is actually very simple, my country does not need you to bow down to your vassals, nor does it need your country to pay tribute every year, but only your emperor needs to personally write down the edict of his guilt and sincerely apologize to the tens of millions of people in my Lan country, and this matter can be written off." ”
Zhen Rong continued: "Also, the Lan country and the foreign tribe are neighbors, they should not meet each other in arms, they should be mutually beneficial, from today on, your foreign tribe cannot issue a ban to restrict our merchants from going to the foreign tribe to buy and sell, of course, your foreign merchants will not be restricted from coming to the Lan country."
At this time, the messenger seemed to be unable to believe that such a good thing could happen in this world, "Princess, what you said is true. ”
Sima Xunye next to him had an incredulous face, "Third sister, if you do this, it will cause the resentment of the people of Lan Kingdom." ”
Zhen Rong shook her head, "Second brother, you are wrong, not only will I not cause the people of Lan Kingdom to complain about doing this, but it will also be greatly beneficial to the development of Lan Country in the future." ”
"Second brother, think about it, if you let the foreigners claim to be vassals to our country, will they be sincere? The answer is definitely no, if the emperor of the foreign tribe personally writes an edict of guilt and apologizes to the people of Languo, then the resentment of the people will be reduced, and then, the trade between our two countries will be carried out for a long time, and the exchanges will be secret, which will only make the development of the two countries more stable, and the possibility of war will be reduced, what do you think? She asked sincerely.
She went on to say: "Besides, if the second brother doesn't want to be a strong foreign clan in the future, they are making a comeback and letting the Lan Kingdom fall into war here, this is the best way."
Zhen Rong thinks so, trade with foreign tribes, let the two countries continue to communicate, for a long time, no one can do without each other, and the two countries will be more stable, because once the war is bad, the economy and culture of the two countries will be affected, at this time, if a country wants to start a war, he has to think about it.
Sima Xunye thought about it carefully, and felt that what Zhen Rong said was quite right, after all, it was not out of sincerity, and the foreign tribes might still invade the Lan country at that time, not that they were afraid of his foreign tribes, but it was indeed not a good way to let the people of the Lan country fall into the abyss of war. But the third sister's method can make the chance of war between the two countries smaller, but it is also feasible.
So he nodded, "Third sister, you're right, then according to what you say." ”
So I took out the peace book I had written, and gave it to the envoys.
So, after the envoy saw it, he immediately didn't say a word, and stamped the national seal, of course, there must be the national seal of Lan Guo on it.
And so they came to this agreement.
When they were about to leave, Zhen Rong's soft voice said with majesty, "Messenger, please stay, I still have a word to say." ”
The messenger asked respectfully, "Please also make it clear to the princess!" ”
Zhen Rong said in a majestic voice: "Those who offend my Dalan will be punished even if they are far away!"
When the messenger heard this, he understood that this was a warning, and if anyone dared to invade the land in the future, he would be destroyed.
The messenger's tone of awe, "The envoy remembers!" ”
And then they went. This sentence surprised everyone, but they didn't expect it to come from a woman's mouth.
Everyone couldn't help but admire and admire.
