"This matter is very important, have you ever told the Queen Mother?" Lu Chengqing thought about it, and finally felt that it seemed a little inappropriate for him to end up in person, so he threw the question to the palace, presumably now they are more anxious than themselves.

Chen Jing'an heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and said at the moment, "Xia Guan only remembered the matter of discussing and silver today, but he neglected these, tonight... Oh no, tomorrow the next official will return from the camp in the northern kingdom and enter the palace to report to His Majesty. It was inevitable that he would enter the palace as soon as he came out of Lu Chengqing's mansion, so he changed his plan slightly.

On the second day, Chen Jing'an rushed to the camp outside the city again, and reported to Yuan Zhang the figures that the imperial court had worked hard to make up, Arubu was still expressionless, Yuan Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Great Wei has four seas, do you want to use this bit of silver to fool us?" After Chen Jing'an's many explanations, he finally relented a little, "Even so, the specific amount is not negotiable, but one million ingots of gold, two million ingots of silver, and one million pieces of cloth are still a little less, so it will be changed to seventy percent as I said last time!" Thus shall thou shalt repay the court; In addition, yesterday there was an army of King Qin attacking our Mobei army, this time the national division will not wait for care, if it is committed again next time, my Mobei 200,000 troops will immediately begin to attack the city. ”

After speaking, Yuan Zhang also ordered Chen Jing'an to take Chen Jing'an to the artisan camp outside the city to see the huge number of trebuchets, battering rams, pointed wooden donkeys and other siege equipment, which frightened Chen Jing'an and agreed again and again.

"National teacher, is Da Wei really willing to give so much money?" Yuan Zhang, who returned to the big tent, was greeted with a surprise inquiry from Arubu, which was more than he had accumulated over the decades of raiding the tribe since he could remember, and he was once again glad for his wise choice to save Yuan Zhang in the capital.

"These are just the accumulations of the Great Wei court, and the wealth of those high-ranking officials' families is much more than that of the imperial court." Yuan Zhang sneered and said, if the court of Great Wei was willing to spend half of the silver on the soldiers, it would be enough to drive them back to Mobei, but now it would cost several times the price in exchange for an illusory peace, he really didn't know what to say about these people.

Chen Jing'an rushed back to the capital and came to the palace non-stop to report the results of today's peace negotiation to the Queen Mother, and heard the huge price of seven million ingots of gold, 14 million ingots of silver and 700 pieces of cloth, but the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that they are willing to back down, Chen Qing's family has worked hard, and I hope that the Qing family will negotiate peace with their hearts, and the mourning family will be rewarded generously after the matter is completed." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to get up and convene the ministers to discuss the matter, Chen Jing'an hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing for me to wait for the national teacher of the northern country to do, if it is not done well, I am afraid that this peace matter will not be successful after all." ”

"Oh? What is it? Why don't you tell us about it? The Queen Mother immediately became nervous, for fear that the other party would put forward any harsh conditions, but Chen Jing'an closed her mouth and glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids on the left and right. ”

"Yes, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but this matter is not trivial, and it is really not appropriate for more people to know." After Chen Jing'an confessed, she asked slowly, "Does the Queen Mother remember that Yuan Zhang was selected as the champion in the palace examination in the past?" ”

"Mourning family remembers!" The Queen Mother suddenly gasped, the champion was taken away and ordered not to go out for life, this Yuan Zhang just voted for the northern country, which led to the fact that since the defeat of Haoshuichuan, the palace test of the Great Wei no longer dared to depose any scholars, and was previously entangled in the huge cost of peace and discussion, the Queen Mother forgot about this matter for a while, but now it is terrifying to think about it, "Chen Qing's family is saying that Yuan Zhang still remembers this matter?" ”

"Exactly!" Chen Jing'an replied, "The minister also heard that Yuan Zhang's mentor was Mr. Longxi, a famous scholar, Mr. Longxi was expelled from the court because he offended Yang Xiangguo, and Yuan Zhang used to write poems on the Xiyuan Yaji run by the lord of Taiping County to commemorate this incident, perhaps it was because of this that Yang Xiangguo was evil, causing Yang Xiangguo to find out the place of guilt in his palace examination and take the opportunity to dethrone. He told the grievances of Yang Jiefu and Yuan Zhang's master and apprentice in one breath.

"It is indeed not appropriate for outsiders to know about this matter." The Queen Mother seems to have heard of Yang Jiefu's power, "So wait for the mourning family to choose important ministers of the court to enter the palace to discuss this matter after the court." ”

The two went out of the Changle Palace, where the Queen Mother now lives, and came to the main hall of the discussion, Chen Jing'an reported the results of today's peace meeting, and the ministers also seemed to see the possibility of success in the peace discussion from Yuan Zhang's concessions; Since the other party has retreated from 10 million to 7 million, is there any hope for the subsequent retreat to 5 million or 3 million? When it reaches two million, maybe the imperial court will squeeze it again.

"In addition, there is another incident, yesterday there was an attack on the army of the northern kingdom by King Qin, and the Great Khan and the national teacher were quite angry, saying that if they committed it again, they would immediately attack the city." Chen Jing'an spoke in detail about the siege equipment he had seen, and then made a suggestion, "In view of this, the imperial court must strictly guard the Qin Wangjun, and do not let them cause trouble at this time and affect the overall situation of the peace talks." ”

"It's just that now the capital is surrounded by the northern army on all sides, and the government decree is not out of the capital, even if we have the intention to restrain it, we can't do anything?" Hu Songnian's face was embarrassed.

"The lower officials think that they can send their ministers out of the city to supervise the army, and strictly order the departments not to move, presumably the Great Khan of the Northern Kingdom and the national teacher will also agree, right?" There was always no shortage of smart people in the court of Great Wei, and soon someone gave advice and obtained unanimous approval, and soon sent Chen Jing'an out of the city to negotiate with Yuan Zhang.

"This matter is a good thing that will help negotiate peace, and the national division should help, you should go back and screen the ministers now, and the national division will send them to various armies." Although there were quite a few outstanding ministers in the beginning of the Great Wei Dynasty, there is no eunuch who can compare with the sages now, and Yuan Zhang does not have to worry about them having the ability to collude with the Qin Wang army outside the city.

At this time, the Great Wei court showed unprecedented speed, and waves of carefully selected eunuchs left the city with His Majesty's holy decree, and with the help of the Mobei soldiers, they came to the outer-farther camp of the Qinwang army, but their purpose disappointed these loyal Great Wei officers and soldiers.

"What! Strictly order me not to go to war? Otherwise, the punishment will not be granted? Zhang Guo listened to the words of the holy decree and was suddenly blinded, he couldn't imagine why those important ministers of the court could make such an incredible decision, he had observed the camp of the Mobei army in the past two days, and had found a few flaws, and was about to practice Li You to attack together, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by this holy decree, "The minister doesn't dare to obey the edict!" Zhang Guo stood up. (To be continued.) )
