The secretary of the military department waved his hand: "Do you understand or this official understands, this official is the secretary of the military department, if you don't even know how many soldiers there are in Daxing, how can you mix?" This official directly let you deserve it! ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department wanted to pinch the Shangshu of the Military Department to death angrily, and raised his hand and gave Shangshu of the Military Department a cap: "You know a chicken!" Lao Tzu said that if you don't know, you don't know! ”

The military department is still going to be strong, and King Chen spoke: "The military department has drunk too much at noon, and he is a little unconscious at this time, come on, send the adults back to rest." ”

The military department was reluctant to leave, and in the end, it was King Chen's guards who personally dragged him out.

King Ming Xuan was also shocked, in the past few years, Xirong has not been without people in Daxing, but the secret report he got is that Daxing has about 1.8 million soldiers on the bright side, stationed in various places.

Nanzhao has been attached to Daxing and has become a subject country of Daxing, they have sent people to contact, that country is scared, and there is really no rebellion, therefore, the 300,000 troops stationed in the southwest can be deployed, and the rest can basically not be moved.

But if Daxing has more than 1.8 million soldiers, but a full 3 million soldiers, then their Darong daring to start a war against Daxing is simply hitting a stone with an egg!

Smart people think more, and if they think more, they will worry more, and King Mingxuan's momentum is visibly leaked.

The next negotiation has been going according to the rhythm of King Chen and Gu Xian, King Ming Xuan no longer said that the amount of compensation is wrong, or that Daxing cannot have such a large casualty, he directly lowered his posture, Rong Guo is not unwilling to compensate, but Rong Guo's national strength is limited, because the treasury of this battle is empty and cannot take out so much silver.

Daxing has always been a state of etiquette, and in the future, Rongguo must be a friendly neighbor of Daxing, watch and help each other, and never give up, so can this compensation be lower?

But King Chen did not let go, and the progress of the negotiations was very slow.

The next day, Xirong's envoys heard the news that the warlord who had been making a lot of nonsense at the negotiating table yesterday had been dismissed.

This result further confirmed some of the speculations of the envoys of Xijon, and their attitude became more honest.

In the next two days, there was no longer a figure of the military department Shangshu on the negotiation table, but the progress was still slow, but after such tossing and turning, His Royal Highness the Prince of Xirong was in a hurry.

Although he lived in the Daxing palace and was not abused, he lived extremely depressed all day, and he had heard about the envoys of Xirong coming to the capital, but he didn't expect that after so many days, a peace talk had not been negotiated, and that night he shouted that he had to see King Mingxuan.

The emperor was a very empathetic emperor, so he naturally agreed to meet the two.

So when everyone saw King Ming Xuan again the next day, everyone found that his forehead was injured and wrapped in gauze, and the injury was not light.

The next negotiation was very easy, and King Ming Xuan made the biggest concession, he reported the bottom limit of Xirong, "The maximum is two million taels of gold, which is the maximum limit given by the emperor of our country."

Of course, there will be no shortage of local products in the tribute every year, and there are ten beauties as well.

The pact of inviolability can also be signed immediately, but your country must promise us to release our crown prince as soon as possible. ”

Gu Xian said: "King Ming Xuan doesn't mention the contract, the official has to forget, almost every emperor of your Darong has signed such a contract of two never invaded, but in fact, you are tearing up the contract every time, and you can send troops if you want to fight, so our saint said, just discount it, we don't want more, just two million taels of gold." ”

Silent! Silence!

King Ming Xuan was speechless......

For the first time in his lifetime, King Ming Xuan saw the contract signed between the two countries be discounted.

However, silence is the main theme at the negotiating table today!

Gu Xian's words continued, "Actually, this official still thinks that the discount is of great benefit to you Darong, first, as long as you welcome back the prince, you can continue to wage war without feeling guilty, second, you don't have to bear a reputation for treachery, and third, if you Xirong wins, you can ask for compensation with us, what do you think?" ”

King Ming Xuan felt speechless!

This Lord Gu almost engraved a few big words in his mind that he would like to welcome you to continue to come, what's the matter? Why didn't you pit enough gold for them once, and you still want them to do it again?

Now King Ming Xuan is more and more convinced that the Daxing Dynasty does have more than three million troops!

Only a country with a strong military force would dare to say such arrogant words!

Today's negotiations are over again, because because of a shameless request to honor the peace contract between the two countries, King Ming Xuan can only write a letter to the emperor of Xirong State, so that he can get an idea.

This is a compensation issue involving nearly four million taels of gold, although the emperor said that he was solely responsible for the negotiation, but Daxing's appetite was too great, and it exceeded the minimum limit given by the emperor by a full double, and it was really not for him to call the shots.

After the negotiation, King Chen took the Criminal Department Shangshu, Gu Xian, and Ye Hanyu to Chaoyang Hall together.

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone heard a cough, and Ye Hanyu immediately stepped forward: "Father, are you not feeling well, but you can call the imperial doctor?" ”

King Chen also said nervously: "What else is uncomfortable besides coughing, brother Huang?" Li Changhai, how did you take care of the imperial brother, it was only the end of September, and the imperial brother was actually frozen? ”

The emperor hurriedly waved his hand, "I have nothing to do, it's just that Tiangan is a little hot, how is the peace talks?" ”

Don't you have to eat those bitter medicine soups when you see the imperial doctor? It's just two coughs, and it's over.

What the emperor said was calm and clear, King Kechen and Ye Hanyu were still very worried, but there were outsiders, and both of them held back their worried words in their hearts, "If you go back to the emperor's brother, the amount we want is too big, and King Mingxuan can't be the master, so I can only wait for Emperor Xirong's reply." ”

"Then wait, anyway, we have time."

The most important thing is that if this matter is really negotiated, it will definitely deter the surrounding countries that are ready to move, and if they want to attack Daxing, they must be prepared to compensate a huge amount of money.

Compensation is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that no matter which country comes up with so many tens of millions of taels of silver, it can take out the family's money, how will you live in the future?

In case of a natural or man-made disaster, you will have to wait for death.

The emperor really didn't expect that he could really ask for so much compensation this time, and he was happy in his heart, when suddenly a little eunuch came in and said something in Li Changhai's ear, and Li Changhai showed embarrassment on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Li Changhai took a few steps forward, and then whispered: "The guard at the city gate came to report that the lord of Furou County had returned from the fiefdom, saying yes, saying that he wanted to congratulate you on your birthday." ”
