To be honest, at this moment, Yaxiong Fuqiang was not prepared for Ivan to suddenly stand up, and he did not expect such a thing to happen in advance. Now it can only be a move.

"Second brother, you said you were going to peace talks, but are you prepared? You know, this is a military event, and it's not a child's play. At this time, Yaxiong Fuqiang was still asking tentatively, which shows that he also likes this second son very much.

Feeling his father's love, and more importantly, Ivan knew that it was because of his performance that he had won his father's love, so think about it, just stand up and do nothing, and get such a praise, if you really do this, how much of a reward you will receive.

At this moment, Ivan has never felt so good, and with his father's love, he must also do things well.

"Father, please rest assured, the son of the minister stood up, he knew what he was going to face, and I was sure to do this well, and I was saying that going as a son of the son shows our sincerity, please allow the request of the son and the king." Ivan fell to his knees and slammed his head to the ground again.

Ivan knew what he was going to face, but he still didn't hesitate, which made Emperor Axiongfu very happy and relieved, his son should be like this, no matter what kind of difficulties he had to face in front of him, he had to have the courage to face them bravely.

"Okay, even if the second child is so loyal, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, as long as it does not endanger the territorial security of the country, then it doesn't matter if we pay some money." Yaxiong Fuqiang has already thought about it, as long as he can not lose face, it doesn't matter if he pays some money to the Celestial Empire this time.

It has to be said that it can be seen from this incident that at that time, the Rus' country had a deep understanding of the territory, and under what conditions, it was also based on the premise of not losing the territory.

"Nope." Who knew that at this moment, Ivan really raised his head and said in a very confident tone. "The retainer only asks his father to allow the Tiantian Dynasty to continue trade with us, and we don't need to make concessions on the rest."

"What? Say it again, second child. At this moment, Yaxiong Fuqiang was once again shocked by the words of his second son.

At this time, not only the emperor, but also everyone else was confused. To say that it is guaranteed that the lost territory will be returned, it is a matter of thanks. After all, as long as the territory is complete, it means that the face is still there, and as for the money, can it be earned back if it is lost?

Even if the Rus Kingdom knows this truth, there is no reason why the Celestial Empire is not clear. But the second prince actually said that he only needed to trade with them, could this small request really satisfy them? At this moment, even the eldest prince had a surprised expression on his face, and he began to wonder if his second brother had something to do and went crazy.

Feeling the surprise that everyone was looking at him, Ivan felt so good at this moment. He knew that it was time for him to behave well, so he knelt down and continued: "Father, ministers. Who we are, we are the most powerful Rus' nation. What is the most powerful, that is, only we can bully others, and no one else will bully us, even the Celestial Empire is the same. ”

"Although we lost on the battlefield this time, we have not lost our true colors as a great power. As I said, this time it was also the Celestial Empire that took the lead in provoking us, and the war was also initiated by them, so they should return and seize our land free of charge, which is the consciousness that a small country should have, and even not only that, if there are any prisoners of war in their hands in the war, they should also be returned. If not, then we can only raise troops to fight, and then not only the second legion, but also the other seven legions, all of them will be attacked, who can be the enemy? Presumably, as long as he told the emperor of the Celestial Empire about this powerful relationship, he should know how to choose. Of course, in order to show our friendship, we can allow them to continue to send caravans to our country, and we can give them the most favorable policies, and we can not collect or reduce their taxes, and I believe that with such good conditions, they will have no reason to be our enemy. And once we have recovered and cleaned up the enemy from the west, we can march south at any time, and then they will know what a powerful Rus' Empire is. Although Ivan was kneeling on the ground, his voice was indeed loud at the moment, and even a little unstoppable.

As soon as Ivan's voice fell, the hall became silent, and even for a while, no one made any sound.

It wasn't until they didn't know who it was, and they stumbled in their footsteps while being frightened, causing a sound, and then everyone came back to their senses.

Oh my God, what did the second prince just say? How can you listen to his words, the Rus country is so powerful? If it is really as said, then taking the initiative to truce is really giving face to the Celestial Empire.

Of course, this is just the words of the second prince's family, including the eldest prince, everyone knows that things are not so simple, and some things are easy to say but difficult to do. It's just that Ivan has such confidence, at that moment, the eldest prince seized the opportunity to take a step, and also knelt on the ground, and said to Yaxiong Fuqiang: "Father, the words of the second brother are heart-stirring, I am also proud to have such a younger brother, and I also ask my father to immediately order, order the second brother to be the ambassador of peace, and negotiate with the Celestial Empire before, as for the matter of allowing the Zhangjia Trading Company to enter the Ross just now, the sons also raised their hands in favor, and agreed not to collect a cent of taxes for five years, After five years, we will only accept 50 percent of other people's sincerity for our peace talks. ”

The eldest prince was afraid that his younger brother would regret it, so he tried his best to promote this matter. As for the tax reduction and exemption of the Zhang family trading company, in his opinion, this is simply impossible, so it is impossible to say it too much.

Originally, Ivan was still hesitating whether the tax reduction for the Zhangjia Trading Company could be passed, but he didn't think that the eldest brother would say such a thing, and such a thing could be done. Of course, this is also because he met Zhang Qiang in advance and made a deeper understanding, otherwise, he would not dare to say what he just said.

In other words, the eldest prince is causing Ivan's death by doing this.

Ivan knew this in his heart, but he really didn't say anything, because even he could see it, and his father must be more perceptive to people's hearts. He believes that his father will give him an explanation, no matter what, he stood up when no one dared to stand up, just by virtue of this, courage is commendable, and there is no merit and hard work.

This time, Ivan finally got his analysis right. After hearing the words of the eldest prince, Yaxiong Fuqiang's face became a little difficult to look at.

Is this his eldest son? The matter was provoked by him, and now that the second son is willing to come out to settle the matter, he really wants to add fuel to the fire, is this the future emperor who has always been humble and exemplary, at this moment, Yaxiong Fuqiang's heart began to doubt his decision.

In fact, on the surface, Yaxiong Fuqiang has been hesitating about who will inherit his throne, but in fact, he made a decision very early, that is, to pass on the mantle to his eldest son, which is why he knew that Anatoly was fighting against the second son's power in the military department, but he did not say anything. He wanted to use his second son to sharpen his eldest son.

But now it seems that at least in the matter of dealing with the Celestial Empire, the eldest son's approach is far less wise and responsible than the second son, so it is no wonder that he has doubts about his previous thoughts.

Of course, one thing doesn't determine everything. Having said that, Ivan hasn't done it yet. Yaxiong Fuqiang did not directly reprimand the eldest prince, but just looked at the second prince and said: "Second brother, your request is approved by the emperor, but some things are not so simple to say, if in the actual operation process, the Celestial Empire has any other requirements, as long as it does not hurt the foundation of the country, I will allow you to agree." ”

Although Ivan already knew from Zhang Qiang's mouth that things could be done, and there was no need to pay any price, but now his father still has to give himself the right to act cheaply, which is a good thing, at least a point of trust, and now he will not be full of words, just do things beautifully, and he will naturally have his own benefits when he looks back.

"Yes, the son obeys the emperor's command." Ivan slammed his head to the ground again, officially accepting the errand.

Finally, someone was willing to stand up and solve the trouble of the Southern Celestial Empire, and all the ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As for whether Ivan can solve this matter well, it is not something they need to consider. Of course, no one took a good look at the second prince, they all thought that this matter was very tricky, and I was afraid that it would be a little difficult for them to do it, let alone the flower royal who had been in the greenhouse.

is talking about Ivan, but no matter what other people think, he can see the things in the court very clearly today, except for his father, who loves him, no one speaks for himself, are they already attached to the eldest prince? Even so, this matter must be done well, otherwise once the father is a hundred years later, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.

In today's situation, the eldest prince and the second prince have long been like fire and water, and some things are indisputable and have to be fought for.

Fortunately, today's events also made the second prince understand, what kind of benefits would it have for him if he did this? This is definitely a chance for him to rise.

Not much to say, after Ivan returned to the mansion, he immediately ordered someone to secretly go to Teregin's mansion to summon Zhang Qiang, and then went to the military headquarters to order 3,000 cavalry, and then went out of the city.

The second prince went out of the city, and this matter quickly reached the ears of the powerful emperor of Yaxiongfu, at this moment he was resting in the palace of Natasha, and after hearing the report of the next person, his face was full of emotion, "I didn't expect that the second child was also a person who did great things." If this is done, there must be a lot of rewards. ”

Naturally, these words were heard by Natasha on the side, but she only laughed, and now the matter has not been done, and it is not yet time for her to speak for her son. But it is conceivable that it will not be long before Ivan's triumph will be rewarded.
