Chapter 1402: Sharp Turn
Eleven Niang quietly listened to the one, two, and three conditions offered by Su Yuan Jianyong.
"The prefect of the country's envoy Yuanzhi is still being detained and imprisoned by your country, and it is thought that this has seriously damaged the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and Her Royal Highness should immediately release the prefect of the source and send the prefect of the source back with the mission."
"In addition, in order to show that your country is ashamed of violating the diplomatic relations between the two countries, we should give compensation to our country, pay tribute to gold and silver treasures and copper and iron minerals, and make special exceptions for trade between the two countries, exempt our merchant ships from taxation, and give preferential purchase to sufficient benefits."
"Furthermore, in order to declare your friendship with the nations, Her Royal Highness the Empress must immediately reprimand the Silla envoys and expel them from the country."
This is really a lion's mouth!
He Zhan, Tao Baoyi and other officials were already angry on their faces, and even Qin Ming, the king of Yan, had already turned his eyebrows into a cold air, even including some courtiers who were still standing in Feng Jizheng's party camp, and they were all furious when they heard these words of the Dongying envoys - obviously, because of the Baijiangkou Battle this time, Dongying, a small island country, had already puffed up its claws, thinking that their naval army was strong enough to dominate the world, where is this attitude to maintain diplomatic relations? If Da Zhou agrees to these three conditions, how is it different from bowing to Dongying and being a minister?
Feng Jizheng was calm, drooping his eyelids, planning to listen to how the queen bargained, in his opinion, as long as he could retain some face, the queen should be able to show favor to Dongying, if she was replaced by the abolished queen mother, she would do so, Queen Liu could not be worse than the abolished queen mother, for the sake of the so-called dignity, she dared to start a war again, and it was a war with no chance of winning.
However, I heard a sneer.
"Envoy Awata seems to have misunderstood this banquet in the main palace?"
Feng Jizheng's spine suddenly straightened with tension, and he couldn't help but look at the queen.
His face was indeed sneering, and the sharp edge hidden in his eyes was suddenly like a long sword unsheathed, and even Feng Jizheng felt a little shocked when he saw it!
Such a queen is even more fierce than when she learned that day that He Zhan went to Dali Temple to "make the head" and suddenly held a palace meeting.
"This palace thinks that the reason why the monarch of the country has sent an envoy to visit is because he is well aware of the crime of destroying diplomatic relations, and my country has always been courteous to diplomatic relations, and I also know that peace is precious.
"Her Royal Highness! Your Highness claims that the Great Zhou is a state of etiquette, so dare to ask, the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys, but the country detains our envoys to death prison, what kind of etiquette is this? ! "Awata Kenyong actually took the case.
"The envoy of the country, Awada Mayang, first made the fine work to spread the poison of the epidemic, causing deaths and injuries to our soldiers and civilians, and then then instigated the Turks to massacre our people, all kinds of crimes, which greatly violated the courtesy of the envoys." It was Yin Shen who retorted, of course, he was no longer sleepy at this time, and his words were very sharp: "Awatian Ma should be executed for his crimes, and the monarch of the country should also confess his guilt to our country, otherwise, the Great Zhou will be the enemy of Dongying!" ”
"Has Her Royal Highness the Queen insisted on striking off with my country?" Awata Mayang's expression was very ugly: "I have entered the Zhou realm, and I have heard a lot of discussions, the Empress Dowager Wei was abolished by His Royal Highness, and she is still suspicious, thinking that the Great Zhou has always governed the country with filial piety, and the state of dignified etiquette, how can she behave in a rebellious way?!" Now that he personally understands the arrogance of His Royal Highness and his party ministers, he knows that the rumors are indeed true, if Empress Dowager Wei is still in power, how can she be so arrogant and shallow. ”
At this time, even Tao Baoyi couldn't bear it: "The master of Awada disrespects our queen and talks about our country's national politics, which is arrogant and rude!" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need for any theory about such rebellious people as Dongying, and this palace has also understood the determination of the king of Dongying, since this is the case, our country will announce that it will no longer negotiate with Dongying, and Awata Mayo and other criminals will be immediately beheaded in public, and in the future, no matter whether the Dongying mission or the merchants, they will not be allowed to land, otherwise, they will be exterminated as enemies!" Eleven Niang has already gotten up: "As for the envoy of Awata, the palace is limited to leave Beijing immediately within five days, and I promise you to return to China unscathed, this is my Great Zhou, the state of etiquette, the last courtesy to the country." ”
After saying that, he walked away, even if he heard that Aoki Ziya pleaded with "His Highness to stay", he also ignored it.
Following the meeting, Feng Jizheng was very anxious: "Your Highness, forgive the ministers, Your Highness is too impatient today, and now in this situation, how can you provoke the Dongying envoy and declare war rashly?" ”
Tao Baoyi said angrily: "Then according to Feng Shilang, should we agree to the unreasonable conditions of the Dongying madman?" This makes me a big week, where is the prestige? ”
"Now we should focus on prosperity and governance, and we should focus on social and people's livelihood......"
"To prosper and govern the world, do you have to give in and surrender to a small country, and the society and the people's livelihood!" Tao Baoyi's chest rose and fell sharply: "If it weren't for the instigation of Awada Mayang, Ashina Qisang might not have indulged in the soldiers to slaughter our subjects, and Dongying harmed our people, my country will not punish him heavily, but will compensate and retreat, if he is released to Awatian Mayang and others, how to explain to the courtiers of the world, this is to ignore the society and the people's livelihood!" ”
"But if you go to war with Dongying again......"
"There will be no fighting." Only then did Eleven Niang interrupt the dispute: "Didn't Feng Shilang realize that there were disagreements within the Dongying Mission, Deputy Envoy Aoki obviously did not agree with the stubborn attitude of Lord Awata, Awata is a minister, but Aoki is a favored minister, Feng Shilang thinks that the minister can better represent the will of the monarch of Dongying, or is the favored minister more representative?" Bengong dared to conclude that although the battle of Baijiangkou was a victory for Dongying, they did not have the strength to offend our Great Zhou, and the intention of the monarch of Dongying was by no means to force Great Zhou to retreat. ”
Feng Jizheng still wanted to refute, but helplessly, he found that many party members were silent about this matter, and obviously agreed with the queen's proposition.
He could only be silent.
Eleven Niang later said to Wang Huaizhun, Yu Wensheng and Xue Qian and other important ministers: "For Feng Jizheng, the saint and I did not mean to completely abandon it at first, and always considered it, after all, the accumulation of shortcomings in officialdom is not a day's cold, so I am willing to give the opportunity to correct it, but now it seems that Feng Jizheng is indeed not a minister of the society." ”
She has no intention of killing them all, but she has already expressed her mind that it is impossible for Feng Jizheng to stay in the center for a long time, and his career is already over.
Selfishness can be had, but it must be talented, and Eleven Niang has seen that Feng Jizheng has no talent and no virtue, so he is not allowed to continue to eat in the corpse.
Wang Huaizhun and others agreed with the queen.
With the advent of the new era, the old decay must be eliminated, and the important positions in the political hall and the three provinces need to be taken by real capable ministers, no one doubts that the queen's snub of Feng Jizheng is out of the struggle for power, and no one doubts the queen's intention to gain power and suppress dissidents.
What made the ministers even more convinced was that before the five-day deadline arrived, Awata Kenyong had already relented, first "called himself sick", and handed over the power of deliberation to the deputy envoy Aoki Ziya, and Aoki was very humble, repeatedly saying that the Japanese emperor did have the sincerity to reconcile with the Great Zhou and hoped to continue to maintain diplomatic relations, and the emperor was also willing to formally apologize and make amends for the various crimes of Awata Mayo and others, and promised the Great Zhou to make compensation conditions.
