Session 34: Negotiation (Part 1)
(Ask for counting tickets and flowers)
The second year of Tianyun in the Great Song Dynasty was the most valuable year for both the court ministers and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, because the arrival of the delegation of the Qingtian Divine Sect made concessions on the compensation for the incident of private collusion between the southern countries at the end of the first year of Tianyun, which also marked the first concession made by the Qingtian Divine Sect to the Great Song Dynasty.
In order to appease the shame of the Qingtian Divine Sect, the Great Song Dynasty signed the Plain Agreement, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty and the people deeply remembered the shame given to the Great Song Dynasty by the Qingtian Divine Sect.
On the street, the people of the Great Song Dynasty watched coldly as the carriage of the mission entered Lin'an City, and everyone's faces had cold expressions. And the monarch at that time also conceded to the emperor because of the signing of the Plains Agreement, although the people of the Great Song Dynasty did not blame the monarch and the four kings at that time.
The embassy was received by Li Wei, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and stayed in the state guesthouse, and in the early morning of the second day, the Senate announced the location of the negotiations with the southern delegation and the personnel representing the Great Song Dynasty.
In the early morning, there was an endless flow of people on the street, and countless teahouses were already full of friends, all discussing what benefits this negotiation would bring to the Great Song Dynasty and what concessions the Qingtian God Church would make.
"The Senate has just released news that the officials who negotiated with the Qingtian Divine Sect on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty this time are Lord Yang, the head of the Yuanyuan of the Household Department, headed by the elder of the Dragon Pavilion, and several other adults. Someone in a teahouse said.
"This time, the Qingtian Divine Sect and the southern countries sent an embassy to negotiate, and the imperial court will definitely exploit it fiercely," said another person
"That's right, the Plains Agreement of the year made the Great Song Dynasty lose face, and now it must be all recovered," said a person in the teahouse, and after saying this, countless people in the teahouse responded to what the man said just now.
During the period of the Great Song Dynasty and Mingzong, the Zongmen Holy Land in the Great Song Dynasty launched a rebellion and attacked the imperial city at night, and at that time, the Qingtian Divine Sect thought that the soldiers of the border city had mistakenly killed the soldiers of the southern countries on the grounds that the Great Song Dynasty had used troops on a large scale. Sent envoys to the Qingtian Divine Sect to negotiate, and then signed the Plains Agreement, so that the Qingtian Divine Sect and the southern countries gave up the use of troops against the Great Song Dynasty, and finally quelled the rebellion of the sect with the help of the ancestors in the territory of Lan Wanmi, and destroyed dozens of sects in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty also suffered heavy losses, and the ancestors in the territory of Lan Wanmi basically went nine times out of ten.
The content of the Plains Agreement is that the Great Song Dynasty compensated 1 million gold and silver treasures, 50,000 catties of precious cultivation materials, and ceded the Jintong Plain to the Qingtian Divine Sect and the southern countries, and the most embarrassing thing in the Plains Agreement was to cede the plain that gave birth to countless Jintong.
Because of the cession of the Jintong Plain and the rebellion of the sect, the economic regression and the decline of practice in the Great Song Dynasty in the past fifty years also gave the Buddha an opportunity.
The Hubu Hall was the site of the negotiations, and now the lobby is filled with negotiators from the Great Song Dynasty and envoys from the southern countries. On the Great Song side, there were more than a dozen Great Song officials led by the elder of the Dragon Pavilion and Lord Yang, the head of the Hubu Yuan, and the southern countries sent Ji Lan, the prime minister of the Qing State, the largest country in terms of strength, and a red-clothed priest of the Qingtian Divine Sect, as well as more than a dozen other officials from the various countries.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time, the southern countries privately used troops against my Great Song Dynasty to openly tear up the Plains Agreement, do you think that my Great Song is very easy to bully," Long Ge Lao looked at Ji Lan and the red-clothed priest on the opposite side and said.
"Old Long Ge, this time it was the lords of the countries who listened to the slanderous rumors of the villains of the family to make a mediocre decision, and the countries did not feel that the Great Song Dynasty was easy to bully, and this time I came to give the Great Song a reasonable compensation" Ji Lan, who was an official of the Qing Dynasty, said a little bitterly in his heart.
The Qingtian Divine Sect's control of the southern countries is supported by believers all over the world, and this time the use of troops against the Great Song Dynasty thought that the Central Plains could change hands, but he did not expect that the Great Song Dynasty had already taken precautions to make this failure. In the end, the Qingtian Divine Sect could only clear all responsibility and blame the countries for this use of troops against the Great Song Dynasty.
After hearing Ji Lan's words, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty sneered in their hearts, but there was no expression on their faces, what Ji Lan said was just an excuse, and everyone knew the real reason, but everyone would not say it, and they all knew it.
"Since the countries have given compensation to the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty will not pursue the use of troops this time," said Lord Yang, the head of the household courtyard, who was sitting next to the old side of the Dragon Pavilion.
"This is a detailed list of the compensation given by the countries to the Great Song Dynasty," Ji Lan finished speaking, and an official from the countries behind him handed over a piece of paper, and an official from the Great Song Dynasty took it and gave it to the elder of Long Ge.
Long Ge Lao took the detailed compensation list of the countries and read it, and even looked slightly displeased and didn't say anything, so he passed it to Lord Yang and the Great Song officials present, and when Lord Yang and the Great Song officials present read the detailed compensation list, they all had unhappy expressions, obviously dissatisfied with the compensation on the list.
"I don't know, the Dragon Pavilion is always satisfied," Ji Lan said as he looked at the Dragon Pavilion Elder's unhappy expression.
"I don't accept this compensation," Long Ge Lao directly said what he thought in his heart, and before negotiating, the emperor specially summoned Long Ge Lao and said that this compensation can not go back to the Jintong Plain, but it is necessary for the countries to recover within ten years.
And after hearing this, a slightly angry expression appeared on the faces of the countries and the Blue Angel Regiment, although the things on this compensation list are acceptable to the Qingtian Divine Sect, but the countries are difficult to bear, but like this, the Great Song Dynasty is unwilling to accept it.
"I don't know if the Dragon Pavilion Elder can represent the Great Song Emperor?" asked the red-clothed priest coldly.
"Naturally," Long Ge replied.
"That's good, then tell the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty," said the red-clothed priest.
"The kingdoms will return the Jintong Plain, compensate two million taels of gold, silver and jewelry, and 100,000 catties of cultivation materials, and the princes of the kingdoms will send them to the Great Song Dynasty to be protons for ten years," said the elder of Long Ge.
"Impossible" Before the red-clothed priest could speak, the officials of the countries behind him objected, not to mention the gold, silver, jewelry, and cultivation materials, and it was unacceptable to just cede the Jintong Plain and send the princes of the various countries to the Great Song Dynasty as protons.
The Jintong Plain is the basis for the current countries to maintain their military strength, and sending the prince to the Great Song Dynasty as a proton will make the royal families of the countries lose face. And the red-clothed priest angrily released the breath of the acquired destiny realm in his body, but it was useless for the Great Song Dynasty officials, who had been cultivating Haoran Qi all their lives, although they had no force, they could resist the breath of cultivation.
"No matter which one of them, we can't agree to it," Ji Lan said with a gloomy face.
"Then let the kingdoms prepare to wait for my Great Song Dynasty's troops," Long Ge Lao finished speaking, and got up to leave.
"Wait, except for the Jintong Plain, you can't cede anything else, you can all negotiate" The red-clothed priest saw the Dragon Pavilion Elder who was leaving, and hurriedly said, Now the Qingtian Divine Sect does not want the Great Song Dynasty to use troops against the southern countries, because now there are some problems within the Qingtian Divine Sect.
Elder Long Ge turned around and said, "I want to ask Your Majesty for this."
"Okay, then we'll wait for the opinion of the Great Song Emperor," the red-clothed priest waved his hand and left the household hall after speaking.
The Great Song officials looked at the departing envoys of the various countries and the priests of the Qingtian Divine Sect and sneered in their hearts, both the Great Song officials and the envoys of the various countries knew that this must be a long-term negotiation.
