Chapter 1193: In exchange for tranquility
And the emperor of the Eclipse Country here received the battle report and urgently summoned the ministers to discuss.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here today to discuss the matter of the Tiansheng Dynasty's attack on my border town, what can you do?" The emperor's majestic gaze swept over the ministers.
The ministers looked at each other, and after a while, an old minister stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, our army is far inferior to the other party, if it is tough, it will definitely anger the Tiansheng Dynasty." ”
The emperor replied with no expression on his face, and motioned for the minister to continue. The old minister said: "So, according to what the old minister saw, if you give this small city to them directly, maybe as soon as the other party is happy, they will no longer attack, and in this way, our losses will be relatively small, and we will preserve our strength as much as possible." ”
To exchange a small city for the tranquility of the Eclipse Country, no matter how you look at it, this deal is a good deal. The emperor glanced at the old minister appreciatively, worthy of being an old man who had been with him for several years, and sure enough, he understood his thoughts, "What about the others?" ”
The ministers saw that the emperor's trusted ministers all said that, and the emperor was very appropriated, so why bother to dislike people again, so they all said: "The ministers all think that offering a small city is the best policy." ”
"Then let's do it." The Emperor of the Eclipse Country made a decision on the matter.
On the second day, the emperor of the Lunar Eclipse Kingdom sent people to the small city to convey the emperor's order, and opened the city gate to welcome the people of the Tiansheng Dynasty.
Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu drove straight in with people.
"What tricks does this old fox want to play?" Zhuang Mingyue said in a low voice.
Long Yuanxiu smiled lightly: "No matter what tricks he plays, he can still turn out flowers." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the Eclipse Country and the Tiansheng Dynasty have been friends since ancient times, and our Majesty has always hoped that the friendship with your country can last for a long time, so we hereby dedicate this city to your country." The person sent by the Emperor of the Eclipse Country was very able to say that the people around the old fox were indeed old foxes.
Long Yuanxiu smiled lightly and did not answer. The messenger was a little drumming in his heart, and hurriedly signaled to his subordinates, and respectfully sent the transferred documents up, Long Yuanxiu took it, looked at it casually, and then put it aside.
The envoy Yu Guang had been paying attention to his movements, not knowing what he meant, and not daring to ask, Zhuang Mingyue spoke at this time: "Your Majesty is a handsome man." ”
The messenger knew that this was not a good word, and laughed, but did not know what to say. Long Yuanxiu shook the paperwork in his hand and said, "This, we accepted it." ”
"Then ......," the envoy said with joy in his heart, "the country of the lunar eclipse is willing to reconcile with your country forever." ”
Long Yuanxiu was noncommittal, and said, "Please go back, we still have some things to do." ”
The messenger did not get permission to speak, and Ai Ai left step by step. As soon as he left, Zhuang Mingyue immediately said, "The Emperor of the Eclipse Country is not credible. ”
"Naturally, a small city wants to send us away, when we are called Hanako." Long Yuanxiu also sneered slightly.
Therefore, before the envoy had left far, he heard the news of the attack again, and the people in the city were panicked, and the envoy almost fell to the ground, and said in disbelief: "How is it possible, even though they have handed over the sovereignty of the small city to them, why don't they stop fighting?" ”
He couldn't care so much, so he hurried back and reported to the emperor. And the Tiansheng Dynasty was obviously far from satisfied, they had to plan early.
The heart of the messenger is like that of the people, and every one is in a state of panic.
"Did you hear, the Tiansheng Dynasty has come in."
"Oh my God, really, what should we do, let's run for our lives."
"Where can you flee to, you will inevitably suffer from war anywhere, alas, the Tiansheng Dynasty is so powerful, the Lunar Eclipse Country is in big trouble this time, it would be nice if we also had a strong country."
"Let's go and surrender the Tiansheng Dynasty! I heard that they are good to the people, and we will not be killed if we surrender. ”
In almost every corner of the Lunar Eclipse Country, such discussions can be heard, and some timid people have already packed their things and are ready to run away at any time.
People have no intention of doing anything else, but are eagerly concerned about the situation ahead, no one is serious about opening shops, no one is serious about work, and there is chaos everywhere.
These situations were handed to the top layer by layer, and finally put on the emperor's desk. "How can this be, how can this be, they are the people of the Eclipse Country!" The emperor was furious, looking at the letter of the letter, his face was blue with anger.
The ministers didn't dare to come out, and they all bowed their heads. The emperor pointed his finger at them one by one, and said with hatred: "What do I do to raise you waste, there is no useful person at the critical time, it is all rice buckets." ”
The ministers who were scolded as rice buckets bowed their heads deeply, allowing the emperor's spittle to fly everywhere.
"Talking, are you dumb?!" The emperor scolded tiredly, took a sip of tea, and glanced at the ministers with a gloomy face.
At first, the old minister spoke again, trembling: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the reason why the Tiansheng Dynasty continues to attack is that our chips are not enough. ”
The emperor almost laughed angrily: "It's not enough to give a city, do you want to give him the entire Eclipse Country?" ”
Then what kind of emperor is he?! The old minister didn't dare to say anything more, and shrunk his neck and stepped aside. The Emperor was panting, anxious and angry, and just at this moment, another urgent letter arrived, and as soon as the Eclipse Kingdom saw the envelope, he felt a headache.
This is the battle report from the front line, the emperor is too lazy to read it, and the waiter said: "Go and pick it up, read it aloud to me!" ”
The waiter agreed and stepped forward to take the letter, opened it and looked at his face bitterly, how to read this letter?
The situation is so miserable, wouldn't the emperor be angry and give him two kicks directly after reading it? !
"Are you dumb too?!" When the emperor looked at it, the waiter's expression was grim, and he stumbled and read: "...... Yesterday, the opponent attacked the city, and after stubborn resistance, our side was finally defeated, with a total of ...... casualties"
The emperor rubbed his forehead with his hand, only to feel a splitting headache, "Okay, okay, don't read it." With an angry roar, the chamberlain hurriedly put down the letter, bent down, and gave him a kick for fear that the emperor would not like him.
The emperor paced back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, and there were words on his lips: "Siege of the city, siege of the city, siege of the city, Tiansheng Dynasty is forcing me to die......"
At this time, among the extremely silent ministers, one of them suddenly walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the Moon Eclipse Country is not as good as the Tiansheng Dynasty, and they are determined to beat us, no matter how much benefit they give, it is useless, and we can't blindly retreat." ”
"Oh? What are Aiqing's good ideas? The emperor hurriedly asked.
The minister said: "Weichen thinks that we can't beat it, but we can find an ally." ”
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly: "You said island country? ”
"That's right, the island country and the Tiansheng Dynasty are not in harmony, if we unite, maybe we can make the Tiansheng Dynasty retreat, otherwise, even if he can't fight, let him weigh the consequences."
The ministers said, "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
The emperor tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, as if to gauge whether this method was feasible, and after a while, he slapped the table and said, "Okay, just do it." ”
In order to show his sincerity, the emperor deliberately wrote a long letter himself, which vigorously exaggerated the relationship between the two countries, indicating that if the lunar eclipse country is gone, the island country will not end well, it is better to take this opportunity to unite, and maybe there is a glimmer of life.
In addition, he said that if the two countries cooperate this time to resolve the crisis of the Eclipse Country, in the future, the two countries will be brothers, but whenever something happens to the other party, as long as they say hello, the Eclipse Country will go all out.
The letter was quickly delivered to the Emperor of the Island Country, who glanced at it, threw it aside, and cursed, "What kind of thing?" I can't protect myself, do I care if you live or die? ”。
The letter was pressed to the bottom, and there was no chance of seeing the light of day.
The Emperor of the Eclipse Country was very anxious, he asked himself that the letter had been written very sincerely, and after the Emperor of the Island Country saw it, he should give a reaction no matter what, but what is going on now?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are a lot of affairs on the island side, maybe their Majesty hasn't seen it yet." A minister comforted.
The Emperor of the Eclipse Country sighed and said, "I hope they can give a reaction sooner, the Eclipse Country can't wait any longer." ”
"It's better for the emperor to write another letter, firstly, to express the urgency of the matter, and secondly, it also shows our sincerity, and the emperor of the island country will inevitably react when he sees it." Another minister came up with an idea.
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, then I will write another one." ”
Island country.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by the Eclipse Country, and it is said that you must check it out." The eunuch held the letter in both hands and said respectfully.
The emperor of the island country glanced at it and said coldly: "It's not endless, here's one, another, how can I have so much time to care about their." ”
The eunuch said softly: "Why don't you take a look, Your Majesty, there has been an endless stream over there." ”
The emperor of the island country felt that what he said was reasonable, so he said, "Take it, I'll take a look." ”
This time, the letter was no different from the last time, but the tone was more urgent, begging the island nation to help.
"It's still the same old thing." The emperor of the island country saw it, threw it aside casually, and said coldly, "I don't even change my words, this emperor of the Eclipse Country is really trying to save trouble." ”
After thinking about it for a while, he found someone to come over and ordered: "You go to the Lunar Eclipse Country, spread my words, and let them come if they have nothing to do." I'm busy! Tell them that whether the Eclipse Country is dead or alive has nothing to do with me, and no amount of letters is useless! ”
The envoy of the island country brought the emperor's words in their original form, and after hearing this, the emperor of the lunar eclipse country darkened his face on the spot, and said gloomily: "Your emperor really said this? ”
The envoy of the island country thought that he was superior to others, and did not take the emperor of the eclipse country in his eyes, and said contemptuously when he heard this: "That's right, this is what our majesty meant. ”
