Chapter 92 - The Conference (7)
Long before the start of the peace conference, Mr. Eighteen privately found the people of the Six Divisions of the Heavenly Sect and the Immeasurable Sect, and after some discussion, the three major forces decided to divide the boundary west of the Huai River to the Snow Country, which was a tacit matter for everyone to each other, but what was the matter with the annual rent of one million gold? Mr. Eighteen did not mention this to them.
Looking at Zhou Gongjing with a resolute face, everyone instantly understood what was going on?
It must have been Zhou Gongjing's harsh conditions deliberately put forward in order to prevent the peace conference.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Snow Country to send troops to encircle and suppress those rogues in the Great Desert, so west of the Huai River, it seems to be a large area, but in fact the usable land is only thirty miles.
The rent of a million gold a year, only 30 miles of land, is a bit excessive.
If the Seven Princes used to be a lion with a big mouth, then Zhou Gongjing is now asking for a sky-high price, and one is more ruthless than the other.
However, Zhou Gongjing also found enough reasons, although it was a crooked reason that was difficult for some strongmen, such as letting the Snow Country encircle and suppress the rogues in the Great Desert, but the crooked reason is also a reason, as long as he stands on the reason, Zhou Gongjing will be unforgiving.
The Seventh Prince's face turned pale, "Brother Zhou, one million rents west of the Huai River, your conditions are too harsh." You asked me before where is the sincerity of the peace talks? What is the sincerity of your peace talks?"
Zhou Gongjing said lightly: "My sincerity is here, if you don't believe it, the Seventh Prince can ask everyone here, is there a problem with the conditions I offered?"
There was silence.
Naturally, no one will oppose him, because the original purpose of these people is to suppress Snow Country, since someone has taken the lead and become this evil person, they just need to conform casually.
Zhou Gongjing looked at Ming Zhao: "Senior Brother Ming, what do you say?"
Ming Zhao snorted coldly: "Senior Brother Zhou is right. ”
Although he knew that the conditions were unfair, and although he looked down on Zhou Gongjing, Mingzhao still agreed with Zhou Gongjing's statement, because this was the explanation of the master behind him.
Zhou Gongjing looked at Sprite again, "Senior Sister Xue, what do you say?"
Sprite touched the white cat in her arms and said with a light smile: "Senior Brother Zhou is reasonable. ”
The Seventh Prince's face became more and more ugly, and these people clearly joined forces to deal with him, opening their eyes and talking nonsense, making things difficult for him everywhere.
Zhou Gongjing asked one by one, and none of the representatives of the six divisions of Tianzong put forward the slightest opinion, and they stood on the same front with a tacit understanding.
When he asked Qiye, Zhou Gongjing's tone sank, "Mr. Seventy-three, what do you think?"
Qiye said calmly: "Brother Zhou is right, Seventh Prince, you might as well think about it seriously and agree to Brother Zhou's conditions." ”
The Seventh Prince looked at Qiye in surprise, he thought that his ears were hallucinating, such harsh conditions, Qiye actually let him agree? Is this pushing him up the fire pit?
Not only the Seven Princes, Meng Tian, Zhou Gongjing, Wei Qingshan, etc., but anyone who knows the cats between Qiye and the Seven Princes stared at Qiye in surprise, not understanding what he was thinking?
Is this kind of condition acceptable? Dare to accept it? Is it crazy?
How is it possible to grow millions of gold worth of grain every year in just 30 miles? Is it possible to take this money out of the treasury of the Snow Country?
That's absolutely impossible, not to mention that the Snow King won't agree, let alone the millions of people in the Snow Country.
The reason why the people of the Snow Country agreed to negotiate peace was that they wanted to earn food and feed themselves, so how could they not get food and have to pay out of their own pockets and contribute to the human race? In that case, it would be better not to negotiate peace.
Therefore, the Snow King will not agree to Zhou Gongjing's conditions, and the millions of people in the Snow Country will not agree.
Once the Seven Princes agreed, it would be tantamount to opposing the Snow King and the millions of people in the Snow Country.
If he is just against the Snow King, the Seven Princes are not afraid of anything, after all, the two have already stood on opposite sides, but he must not go against the people of the Snow Country.
Because the reason why the Seven Princes have survived until now and can promote peace between the human and demon clans is completely dependent on the support of millions of people in the Snow Country, and the people's hearts.
The people's heart is his biggest reliance to save his life, once he loses the people's heart, the Snow King will not hesitate to kill him and eradicate the Mengshi clan, even if they are biological father and son.
This is royal ruthlessness!
Zhou Gongjing's move cannot be described as not evil.
The Seven Princes agreed, even if the peace negotiation was successful, he would return to the Snow Country, and he would become a sinner in the Snow Country, and the Snow King would definitely kill him, tear up the peace treaty, and make the people resentful.
If he doesn't agree, the peace negotiation fails, and the Seven Princes are afraid that they won't even be able to get out of the academy, and the Sixth Department of Tianzong will not let him go.
The seventh prince stared at Qiye angrily, he thought that Qiye had a way, because Qiye said to him last night that if something happened at the peace conference, something unexpected, everything would depend on his eyes.
The million-dollar rent thing is the biggest change!
But he never expected that Qiye would let him agree to such a strict request.
Qiye, who said this, still looked indifferent, leisurely, as if he didn't care about everything.
Furious for a moment, the Seventh Prince almost stood up, and questioned Qiye on the spot, asking him what he wanted to do?
Fortunately, Meng Tian put one hand on the shoulders of the Seventh Prince and held down the Seven Princes in time.
Meng Tian leaned on the ear of the Seventh Prince and whispered, "Your Highness, promise him first." ”
The Seventh Prince: "What are you talking about? How can I agree to such conditions? If I agree, how will I go back and explain to the millions of people in Snow Country? Without their support, I will be killed by my father immediately." ”
Meng Tian: "If Your Highness doesn't agree, I'm afraid that we won't be able to pass this hurdle in front of us." ”
The Seventh Prince's heart sank, and only then did he calm down.
Meng Tian was right, he agreed, now that he can save his life, the Snow Country can still find a way to deal with it, after all, there is still a period of time from Yangshan Academy to Snow Country. But if they don't agree, their lives will be immediately threatened, the knife is already on the neck, and they dare to pop out of their mouths.
The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agreed." ”
Zhou Gongjing smiled proudly, his sword eyebrows flew, this result, as he expected, the situation was such that the Seven Princes could not be allowed not to agree.
Since the conference was held in advance, he has been suppressed by Qiye and is in a passive state, this move finally made him raise his eyebrows, gain the upper hand, sweep away the previous decline, and find back the demeanor of being a proud disciple of the Dao Heavenly Master.
But he soon became suspicious again, Qiye agreed so simply, and didn't even say a word of bargaining to reduce the rent, this is too strange, could it be that he fell into the trap of the other party again?
Thinking of this, Zhou Gongjing began to fidget again.
If Qiye knew what Zhou Gongjing was thinking at this time, he would definitely snicker. This Zhou Gongjing can't help but think too highly of himself, and he is not a god, how can he expect everything?
The reason why Qiye agreed so simply was because he had long expected that if Zhou Gongjing couldn't stop the peace conference, he would definitely open his mouth and put forward very harsh conditions to force the Seven Princes to their deaths.
Therefore, Qiye had already prepared in his heart, waiting for Zhou Gongjing Lion to open his mouth, not to mention one million gold a year, even if it was two million gold a year, or even three million gold, Qiye had to agree. Because Zhou Gongjing is the presiding officer of this peace conference, the initiative is in his hands, and there is no room for reversal at all.
All in all, Qiye is a human, not a god, he can't calculate everything, it's just that he has prepared for the worst before doing things.
If you don't succeed, you can only be invincible if you think about defeat first.
Then there was a fierce debate.,The matter of dividing the region was finally determined.,Although there was a little accident in the process.,But fortunately, the general direction is expected by Qiye.,Qiye also got the territory he wanted.。
On the whole, the conference was a successful success.
Next, it is to negotiate some trivial treaties, after all, in name, the territory is rented, or the territory of the Terrans, and the rules of the Terrans must be observed.
But these are not difficult problems, even such harsh conditions Qiye agreed, are these small problems still problems?
It took a full hour for everyone to finally list all the rules and regulations, every article, every line, and write them on the contract, which is as much as eight pages.
The six divisions of the Heavenly Sect, the two factions of the Immeasurable Concept, the Seven Leaves, and the Seven Princes, signed and sealed them one by one. Of course, Zhou Gongjing, on behalf of the Tianzong Heavenly Division, was the presiding officer of the conference and the first to bear the brunt, and his name was written in the most conspicuous position.
I believe that it will not be long before the content of this paper contract will spread all over the world and be known to the world, setting off a monstrous wave. As a notary public, the College is responsible for keeping the contract.
Zhou Gongjing: "Seventh Prince, the contract has been decided, I hope you ......"
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud earth-shattering sound at the bottom of the mountain, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Judging from the fluctuation of the vitality, it is clear that someone is fighting, and both sides are masters, and their cultivation is amazing.
"What's going on?" everyone's hearts froze, this is Yangshan Academy, there are seventy-two sages of the Confucian Garden, and someone dares to do it here?
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Qiye.
As Mr. Seventy-Three of the Confucian Garden, he had just taken over the academy and became the head of the academy, and this kind of thing happened, which was undoubtedly a slap in his face. They want to see what will happen to this Mr. Seventy-Three.
Qiye is still sitting there, his eyes slightly closed, the old god is there, as if he didn't hear the sound, his index finger taps on the table, the rhythm is distinct, and he is not flustered.
Zhou Gongjing praised from the bottom of his heart: "What a seventy-three gentleman, no wonder he can sit in the position of the head of the academy, just this concentration is far beyond the reach of people." Master is right, this person is really my fierce enemy. ”
Ming Zhao couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Seventy-three, there seems to be a master fighting outside. ”
Nanaba: "I know. ”
Mingzhao: "Do you know why don't you hurry up and take a look? You are the master of the academy." ”
Nanaba: "It's because I'm the head of the academy that I can't go out now." ”
"Why is that?" Mingzhao wondered.
Qiye smiled mysteriously, not intending to explain.
Everyone was curious and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but seeing that the owner of Qiye hadn't moved, they couldn't do it without permission, so they could only be patient and wait for Qiye to make a statement.
After a while, Mr. Two hurriedly ran in and whispered in Qiye's ear, not knowing what to say?
Everyone was confused, not knowing what the hell this seventy-three gentleman was doing?
