Chapter 63: Crisis May Be Opportunity
Bei Rangan turned his head and stood at the bottom of the imperial staircase and glanced at the ministers in the council hall. He said in a deep voice: "Now you must know this situation, this king has been strict before, if Daqian wants to destroy the Sky Eagle Empire, it will be easy!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the door, raised his voice a few degrees and continued: "You have all seen it just now, and there are millions of heavenly soldiers, and they are hanging above our heads at this moment. This king can tell you that as long as we refuse the request of the Great Qian, he will give an order, and this huge Aquila City will be reduced to ruins in an instant! At that point, I'm afraid I won't even have time to deal with the aftermath! Cold sweat broke out on the top of the ministers' heads at the words of the North Madman, and most of them were pale, and their bodies were trembling.
No one is not afraid of death, especially these high-ranking and powerful people, one by one, they are even more afraid of death, and they are even more reluctant to lose if they have too much. It was only at this moment that they realized that their own lives and even the lives of the entire people of Aquila City were in the hands of that young emperor, and they could take it whenever they wanted, and they would die as much as they wanted!
"Some of you should know very well that Emperor Daqian is merciful!" Bei Yan'an's voice resounded in the council hall again, and at this moment his voice was a little low, and it could even be said that there was an inexplicable depression: "He gave us a chance to live." 10,000,000 taels of silver? Then may I ask you, if Emperor Daqian captures this Heavenly Eagle City, will he get more than 10 million taels of silver? So, Ministers, let us be content! This is clear.
Zhuang Yue waited for Bei to finish roaring, and hurriedly stood up and said in a deep voice: "What King Wen'an said in the world is reasonable!" The minister agreed to pay Daqian a compensation of 10 million taels of silver every year. However, we must also strengthen friendly exchanges with the Great Qian, and if the two countries intend to increase day by day, it is not certain that one day the Emperor of the Great Qian's heart will relent, and this compensation will be cancelled. Not only will we not have to pay this additional expense, but we will also have an incredibly powerful ally! This is a two-pronged thing, what does the emperor think? ”
Bei Wild Roar, who had been silent, finally had a smile on his face when he heard Zhuang Yue's words, nodded and said, "But that's the case, Lord Zhuang Yue is reasonable." As King Wen'an said, there is no room for us to bargain in the current situation. Therefore, the emperor has decided that starting from this year, he will pay 10 million taels of silver to Daqian every year, plus 30 maids, and some specialties of the Sky Eagle Empire. Don't worry about these expenses, if you want to make friends, you naturally have to be sincere. Speaking of this, Bei's roaring gaze fell on Mao Zhengjie's body, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Mao, 10 million taels of silver should be prepared quickly." ”
This 10 million taels of silver is like cutting meat for Mao Zhengjie, it hurts. But what can be done, the emperor has decided. And he didn't know that the pain was a little painful, and it would be a matter of dying. Thinking in his heart, Mao Zhengjie said respectfully: "The minister receives the order, the emperor can rest assured, after the minister returns, he will step up his preparations, and it will definitely not delay your negotiation with Emperor Daqian." ”
Hearing this, Bei Wild Howl nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's all disperse, and the two adults, Zhuangyue and Qin Chuan, will stay." ”
After hearing the words and saluting, the ministers left the council hall, and for a while, there were four people left in the hall: North Howling, North Crazy, Zhuangyue and Qin Chuan. Bei Wild Howl only breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and walked down the imperial steps to the three of them: "To be honest, the emperor didn't expect the ending to be so good. Ten million taels of silver to resolve all the crises of the Skyhawk Empire, the Skyhawk Empire is still the Skymoon Empire. Speaking of this, his eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at the three of them deeply and said, "And this time it seems to be a crisis in the Sky Eagle Empire, but maybe it can turn the crisis into a turning point!" The three of them all looked confused when they heard Bei's wild roar, and they didn't know what he meant by this.
"Do you remember what the dream of the sixth emperor of my Aquila Empire was?" Bei Roar said slowly, "My Heavenly Eagle Empire, from the Zhuang Lie Eagle Emperor to the First Emperor, the goal of the six generations of Heavenly Eagle Emperors is to unify the Northern Ming Continent. Even if it is the emperor, this ambition has not changed! But now, it seems that the long-term reality tells us that it may be a sweet dream. At this point, his voice became somewhat excited, and he continued: "However, the sudden arrival of the great cadre may be the turning point of all this. There is no doubt that the purpose of Emperor Daqian's coming here is to take revenge. However, if we can resolve this crisis with 10 million taels of tax and silver every year, and sincerely make friends with the big cadres, and then use the power of the big cadres to unify the Northern Ming Dynasty, it is not impossible. And at that time, the national strength of my Heavenly Eagle Empire has become extremely powerful, and the tax revenue has increased several times, and ten million taels of silver will seem a little insignificant. Do you think this is a good deal? North Roar looked smug at the moment.
Whether it is Bei Yan'an, Zhuangyue and Qin Chuan, they are all very excited at the moment, their eyes are full of hope and fanaticism. But hearing Qin Chuan, he couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful." If it can really be as the emperor said, then the arrival of the Great Cadre Army cannot be said to be revenge at all, it can be said that it is to help our Sky Eagle Empire fulfill the dream of the previous emperors, haha......"
Zhuang Yue also nodded and said with a smile: "The emperor is wise, if it is true as the emperor said, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my Sky Eagle Empire." Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's just that Emperor Daqian is so strong, whether he is willing to let us use the power of Daqian to unify the Northern Ming Dynasty is unknown." What can you do to convince him, Emperor? ”
"It's man-made, or that sentence, sincerity is the most important." Bei roared and said in a deep voice: "First of all, we must try our best to eliminate the adverse effects of the first emperor's invasion of Daqian, and at the same time, let the Daqian Emperor see the growth of our Heavenly Eagle Empire and see the sincerity of our Heavenly Eagle Empire." In this case, I believe that our Sky Eagle Empire can at least be fifty percent sure that this thing can be done. After all, in terms of national strength, I, Tianying, am the strongest person on the Beiming Continent, and Emperor Daqian wants to choose a spokesperson, so we are naturally the most suitable. ”
Bei Yan'an nodded and said, "Yes, we can only say that the chances are relatively big." I'm afraid the two adults don't know yet, the king of the Giant Stone Empire, Sun Kunyou, has already set foot on the land of Daqian many years ago, and has studied in Daqian for many years, I heard that before returning to the Beiming Continent, he can already freely enter and leave the palace of Daqian, and he can also meet the emperor of Daqian freely! ”
Zhuang Yue's brows couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and she said in a deep voice: "In that case, the Great Stone Empire is the main opponent of our Heavenly Eagle, and I don't know if the Great Qian Emperor will give this opportunity to the Great Stone Empire because of this." If that's the case, that's a bit of a bad situation! Qin Chuan couldn't help but nod when he heard this, he didn't expect the Giant Stone Empire to strike first.
Bei Roar heard this, but said calmly: "We can't stop this kind of thing, we can only show our strength." Emperor Daqian is the one who buys things, we are the sellers, and the buyers are naturally whose things have been bought for a long time. ”
