"Did Your Majesty misunderstand the meaning of the discussion?" Xie Xuelong's face was strange.

"The meaning of the discussion is that we can make demands, you can raise objections, and we naturally have the right to refuse, don't you say? Like what you just said, what you think is unreasonable, that's exactly what makes the point of cooperation. You rejected all of us, what kind of judgment are you talking about? ”

"But what you put forward is not a condition at all, but a humiliating treaty that humiliates the country! How do you make me agree!? Felipe IV said with a little excitement.

"Your Majesty, don't get excited. Keeping a clear head is the essence of negotiation, don't you say? Xie Xuelong still looked calm. Also, Your Majesty should be clear first. Anyway, it's not good, do you think we will do it? ”

"Then it can't be so harsh, right?"

"Harsh?" Xie Xuelong raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "I don't know if Your Majesty believes it or not, as long as we can't negotiate, I'll let it out when I go back.

The Dutch people of your mouth, who were desperate to kill me the day before, will immediately welcome me to their place with a bang of gongs and drums. And I, too, will be Frederick Hendrik's guest! At that time, did you still think these conditions were harsh? ”

"You're threatening me." Felipe IV's face turned cold, and his hand on the arm of the chair was clenched.

As the ruler of the most powerful country in the entire West, no one dared to speak to him like that.

This thin middle-aged man from the East has already touched his scales and offended his dignity!

"I'm just stating one thing, if Your Majesty really thinks I'm threatening Your Majesty, then I can't help it." Xie Xuelong smiled noncommittally.

When Felipe IV heard this, his face sank and he was about to drip water.

If you get closer, you can tell from the clenched fists that he is trying to restrain his anger.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense.

The guards standing on the side also put their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waists, ready to take down Xie Xuelong and kill him at any time.

"Your Majesty, again, negotiation requires a cool head. Since there is no consensus today, then I will retire first and talk again tomorrow. ”

Xie Xuelong also saw Felipe IV's anger and restraint, so he took his leave.

Felipe IV looked at him deeply, nodded, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xie Xuelong turned around and walked out.

It wasn't until Xie Xuelong walked out of the main hall that Felipe IV let out a long sigh of relief, and his clenched fists were released.

He was really afraid that he would kill this hateful Xie Xuelong if he couldn't help it, but thinking of the consequences of killing him, he had to force himself to stay calm.

"Your Majesty, Akito, it's too arrogant! How dare you threaten Your Majesty! ”

The Marquis of Babus looked at Xie Xuelong's back and gritted his teeth and said, and the other officials in the palace also responded one after another, scolding Xie Xuelong for his audacity! Only Franco remained silent.

No matter how arrogant Xie Xuelong is, he is already used to it.

If he commands an invincible armada, he's mader than anyone else. This is something that no one who has never had close contact with the First Fleet cannot experience.

"If you had their strength, you might be crazier than them, wouldn't you?" Felipe IV glanced at him. It's all gone, I can't talk about it today, I will talk about it tomorrow, I don't believe that Daming will not give in at all. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, most of the people in the hall were empty.

Only Franco was left behind by Felipe IV.

"Franco, this Xie Xuelong is also so arrogant on weekdays? Or are they all like this? ”

"Not really. The number of times I have been in contact with them is not short, Xie Xuelong is a person with great ambitions, but he is easy-going, and he is not as unpopular as he is today. ”

Felipe IV nodded thoughtfully.

"In this way, he is testing our bottom line. What do you think their bottom line is? Are these conditions true and cannot be changed at all? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't think it's likely that the general direction will change. But we can start with the details and try to mention some of the conditions that are favorable to us. But Your Majesty, if you make some concessions, it would be better to reach an agreement. Otherwise, if the Ming Dynasty falls to the side of the Dutch, I'm afraid we will be really tricky. ”

"I know, you can go back too. If it is possible to have more contact with him, we will continue to talk tomorrow. One day does not accomplish two days, and two days does not accomplish three days. In any case, they must not be allowed to fall on the side of the Netherlands. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the other side, Xie Xuelong went out of the palace all the way to see Xiao Wu, who was waiting a little anxiously.

Since Felipe IV was frightened by their repeating pistols, he was allowed to enter the palace alone, and a strict body search was carried out before entering the palace.

Xiao Wu was originally reluctant and wanted to protect Xie Xuelong closely.

But Xie Xuelong's words changed his mind.

Now they are in other people's territory, surrounded by other people's people, not to mention just the two of them. Even if they have ten or a hundred times more manpower, as long as they want to kill, they will have nowhere to escape.

"Inspector, have you negotiated?" When Xiao Wuyi saw him, he stepped forward and asked eagerly.

"Nope." Xie Xuelong smiled and shook his head. "How can it be so fast, after all, it is cooperation between two big countries, even if it seems to be an inconspicuous thing, the impact will not be small. What's more, the conditions set by His Majesty are indeed somewhat unacceptable. ”

Although he also knew that all the policies formulated by Zhu Youzhen were absolutely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, it was absolutely unacceptable from the perspective of the other party.

The two returned to their accommodation together, and after lunch, neither of them left the house. It wasn't until the evening that Franco visited Xue Long again and brought two bottles of sherry, which he called precious.

"Inspector Xie, we've known each other for a short time, haven't we?" After three rounds of drinking, Franco changed his words and asked Xie Xuelong.

Xie Xuelong has been immersed in officialdom for so many years, and he couldn't guess that he was going to play the emotional card.

"Franco, I know what you're going to say. But no matter what our personal relationship is, after all, you represent two different countries at this time. What you want to know, I can't tell you. Xie Xuelong looked at Franco sincerely and said.

Franco nodded, picked up his glass and silently drank the wine.

"There's one thing you can rest assured of, though. Spain and I will cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, and we will benefit greatly from you. But in the same way, you, Spain, will surely get out of the current situation and become stronger. Cooperation, if you just look at how much others have gained, without thinking about your own gains, then there must be no soil for success! You tell me? ”
