The reaction of the six ministers was in Xiao Tianyao's expectation. Although these six people belonged to the emperor, they were timid and fearful of trouble.
It was they who went out of the city with the right minister to welcome him into the city, and they were the ones who stumbled him secretly and caused trouble. Such a person, Xiao Tianyao is very contemptuous, disregarding the face of the six people, Xiao Tianyao said with disdain: "The corpse is a vegetarian meal, it can't be used!"
These six people considered themselves to be the emperor's people, and they caused him trouble because of their position, regardless of the overall situation of the country. Although he was angry, he could accept it. After all, officialdom is like a battlefield, and everyone has their own position.
These six people should never, never should, did not respond when he took the emperor's order to stand up. You know, his move can be said to be hitting the emperor in the face in public. As long as he is on the emperor's side, he should not ignore it, and even come out to stop him if he dies.
But what did these six do
They did not change their positions, but they did nothing to maintain the dignity of the master.
What's the use of keeping such a person, but not insisting when they should stand, and insisting desperately when they shouldn't
"Plop!" The six of them knelt down in fright and shouted tremblingly, "Your Highness, forgive me."
"Hmph..." Xiao Tianyao snorted coldly, closed his eyes and ignored them, and did not intend to send someone to help the right minister.
If you can't handle even such a trivial matter, the Prime Minister of the Right will not have to have a foothold in the DPRK, and the Right Family will not have to have a foothold in the East.
The famous family is not just talking about it. The biggest advantage of the famous family is his deep-rooted and flourishing power.
Xiao Tianyao was not in a hurry, he sat patiently on the main seat and closed his eyes, completely ignoring the six ministers kneeling on the ground. King Xiao didn't shout, and the six ministers didn't dare to move.
After another moment, there was a sound of footsteps of different severity outside the door. The six ministers kneeling on the ground felt uneasy when they heard the sound, and quietly raised their heads to look at Xiao Tianyao, feeling that Xiao Tianyao didn't look at them, so they quietly turned their heads back. Look.
When they saw Prime Minister Right and Prime Minister Lin, escorted by the Imperial Army, walking toward the Council Hall one after the other, they couldn't tell what it was like.
There is no need for King Xiao to appear in person, and only a right-hand minister can bring out the person who has been detained by the emperor's order. How terrible is King Xiao's power
"Old minister pays respects to the prince, Lord Lao has been waiting for a long time." The right minister walked in first, bowed his hands, and bowed in salute.
"What happened?" Xiao Tianyao waved his hand and signaled that the Right Prime Minister would be excused.
"Mrs. Lin Xiang is unwell, and the old minister invited the imperial doctor on his own initiative and sent someone to send them back." The right minister could somewhat guess the emperor's intention to hold Lin Xiang's family, and before Xiao Tianyao could speak, he finished the matter.
Lin Xiang was late and You Xiang came in one step. At this time, Lin Xiang was no longer as elegant and calm as before. He was nearly twenty years younger than You Xiang, but at this moment he was standing next to You Xiang, but he seemed to be about the same age as You Xiang. It can be seen that the house arrest life during this period has dealt a great blow to him.
"Prince, see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old." Lin Xiang came in and saluted respectfully, without the slightest arrogance in the past.
"Well." Xiao Tianyao nodded and said coldly, "Since you are here, let's start."
Xiao Tianyao never mentioned the matter of letting the six ministers get up. You Xiang and Lin Xiang are both old foxes, so naturally they won't talk too much. Under such circumstances, the six ministers did not dare to ask for mercy, so they had to continue kneeling.
"About the Northern Li peace talks, do you all have a draft?" After establishing the prestige, Xiao Tianyao accepted it as soon as he saw it, and brought up the main business.
Right Xiang hesitated for a while, and then said: "The emperor verbally said that he would give Northern Li 100,000 shi of grain and 5,000 pieces of cotton cloth. Northern Li gave us three silver mines and one gold mine under the royal family's name. Dongwen, and signed a 20-year treaty not to violate our borders, and the prisoners acted as my Dongwen slaves, but before we had time to discuss the emperor with Northern Li, an accident happened."
"Food for Beili?" Xiao Tianyao chewed these five words lightly, and said with a cold face: "Do you think this method is feasible?" He had written the treaty for peace talks with Beili, but he still had to listen to others. How to say.
"If I go back to the prince, we can't get 100,000 shi of grain. After the battle with the Northern Calendar, there is not much left in the national stockpile." The Minister of the Ministry of Housing said daringly.
It's not that he wants to come forward, but that he is in charge of food, grass and money. When the peace negotiation agreement is reached, Dongwen can't get food, grass and cotton cloth, and it is his fault.
"Northern Calendar invades my border only because of lack of food. If they don't get enough food and grass, I'm afraid they will fight again." The Minister of War said with a worried look.
It's a fact, it's not like this hasn't happened in the past. Dongwen won the Beili, and everyone negotiated peacefully. Dongwen refused to give food, grass and cloth. The Beili people had no choice. They agreed to negotiate a peace agreement. 's belongings.
Northern Li is located in a cold and barren land. There are very few places in the country suitable for planting grain and grass, and there are not many wild animals in the mountains and forests. The food produced by the king of Bei Li is completely unable to feed the people of the country.
In Northern Li, every year old people, women and children starve to death in Dali, and many people take risks for their lives. Even if there is no state organization, tens of thousands of troops can be gathered to attack Dongwen or Nanman and Seiwu to snatch food.
The land of Dongwen is fertile and the people are prosperous, which is the first of the people of Beili.
However, although the land of the Northern Calendar is not suitable for planting, there are many iron ores, copper mines and even gold and silver veins in the territory.
"We have been at war with the Northern Calendar for decades. Whether it is a victory or a defeat, we have to give the Northern Calendar food and grass. The Northern Calendar has also signed an agreement not to infringe on our Eastern and Western borders, but it has never been implemented." After a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth.
"Yes, yes, Beili people have always been untrustworthy, they are a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, no matter how much food and grass we give them, it will be useless to feed them, feed them fat, and finally attack them in turn, It's not worth it to give them food."
There is no real power in the hands of the Minister of Rites, but at this moment the peace talks are led by them. It should be said that they are leading the peace talks with the Northern Calendar every time. But they broke the contract again and again, and every time the Northern Calendar broke the contract, the emperor would blame the people of the Ministry of Rites for incompetence, so the people of the Ministry of Rites had the deepest resentment towards the Northern Calendar.
"If you don't give food and grass, do you want to continue fighting? The Beili people are going to starve to death. If they want to use the army again, they will definitely fight with us. We have no food in the treasury, and we can't support the army to fight again." Up, roaring at the Minister of Rites.
"Giving food and grass can't solve the problem. The Beili people have enough food and grass this year. What will they do next year
Xiao Tianyao didn't say a word, and tapped his fingers on the table casually. He didn't seem to be listening carefully, but he listened to everyone's every word. When the six ministers were almost arguing, he said coldly, "My lords. Everything makes sense, of course, it's useless to talk about it, you want to come up with a solution?"
Besides arguing, what else do these people do
Such a person is only used by his royal brother.
After all, it is only when they disagree with each other that they can play a balance...
