Li Xuan leaned on the dragon chair and sighed for a long time: "General, please tell me about their conditions."
When Zhou Fei finished all the conditions, Li Xuan smiled.
"It's no wonder that the envoys of the temple have been very calm these days. No matter how strong we yell, they have not responded. It turned out that we had foreseen today's results long ago. General, Lu Aiqing, Jiang Aiqing, you said, this is the case. Terms, can I sign it?"
Jiang Ziyi was the first to speak: "Naturally, you can't sign, how can your majesty's name fall on such a clause that humiliates the country."
"The minister thinks so too." Lu Tiansuo said: "The name written on the clause will inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame, and it will be stinking for thousands of years. Therefore, your Majesty, absolutely cannot sign.
Li Xuan glanced at Zhou Fei, but Zhou Fei did not express his opinion, so the little emperor continued: "The two Aiqings also agreed to the conditions put forward by the temple?"
Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi looked at each other, then knelt down together: "Your Majesty..."
"Just say you agree or disagree, what do you do on your knees." Li Xuan said.
Jiang Ziyi's fist hidden in the cuffs of his official robe was tightly clenched. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the situation has developed so far. There is no second way for Datang to go. Either the fish die, the net is broken, or the minister is willing to survive. Tang Liu ran out the last drop of blood, but the man outside Chang'an didn't even give Datang such an opportunity."
Lu Tiansuo said: "The Tang man is not afraid of sacrifice, but the current situation is no longer the mortals that I can reverse. After the Master ascended to the sky, Guangyue Jingyu alone has exhausted the strength of Chang'an City. Now a blacksmith has emerged, I heard Mr. Six say that the blacksmith also has a companion carpenter. Both of them are masters who have survived the winter. They are immortal and there will be no peace in the lobby."
Li Xuan said: "Speaking of speaking, your meaning has not changed. I won't blame you, so why bother to talk."
Jiang Ziyi said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister dare not speak bluntly, but such words will make the minister extremely tortured just by saying it."
Lu Tiansuo immediately said: "Other terms can be tolerated, but there is one we can never agree to."
Li Xuan asked, "That one."
"Green cone pasture." Lu Tiansuo said: "It is not only the training place for my Datang Xuanjia Army war horses, but also
It is the most important source of our Datang iron ore mine. The temple wants us to cede the Green Cone Ranch, just to wipe out our hope of rejuvenation from the root. All this must not be agreed. "
Jiang Ziyi said: "The minister thinks so too."
Li Xuan's fingers slowly tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, and after a moment he said, "Both Aiqings will leave. I want to talk to the general alone."
Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi looked at each other and bowed back.
Only Li Xuan and Zhou Fei remained in the Imperial Study Room.
"General, sit down." Li Xuan said.
Zhou Fei said, "Your Majesty, you have heard what Lu Tiansuo said. I wonder what your Majesty do you think?"
Li Xuan said: "The general has tried me again."
"The minister just wants to know your majesty's most true thoughts on this clause." Zhou Fei said: "In this way, the minister can make a decision."
Li Xuan walked to Zhou Fei's side and patted his shoulder lightly, "General, like you, I know why the blacksmith appeared in Chang'an City. When the battle is over, we will continue to fight. Neither side is good, but the temple is the strongest sect in the Great Wilderness after all. Except for my Datang and Qin, the other five countries are considered to be the temple's subordinate countries, and the temple needs to give an explanation to the five countries."
Zhou Fei said: "This explanation is the Green Cone Ranch."
Li Xuan said: "The most feared thing in my Datang is the Xuanjia Army. The most important component of the Xuanjia Army is the war horse and the armor. However, the raw materials of these two important components are all produced in Qing Cone Ranch. It’s also magical. My country was founded for thousands of years, and the country is vast, but I couldn’t find a place that could replace the Green Cone Ranch. The temple has been trying to pay attention to the Green Cone Ranch, but it failed. This time, when the blacksmiths come out of the mountain, they are bound to win. In my opinion, all the other clause temples may be able to give up, but the Green Cone Ranch Temple will never give up."
Zhou Fei sighed: "It seems that Your Majesty has already made a decision."
"Let." Li Xuan said, "Let me bear the infamy for the ages. Anyway, since I am young, it is normal for historians to make any decisions. Being young means that my mind is immature, which means You will be deceived, which means you will be suppressed by the power."
Zhou Fei shook his head, "No, your Majesty cannot sign this treaty."
"I don't sign, do you let the general sign you?" Li Xuan laughed: "The general is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, a master who defeated the Lord, and there can be no stains on your name. I am not the same. After all, there are still many people who insist that my bloodline is impure and the position is not right. I abdicated after signing and gave the throne to the sixteenth brother. He is the orthodox bloodline of the Li family, and he will be the emperor. What people want."
Zhou Fei gritted his teeth and said: "The minister persuaded your majesty to dispel this idea. If your majesty insists on doing this, the minister will go and kill the sixteenth prince."
"General, why are you so troublesome?" Li Xuan said: "Compared with subjugating the country, how good is my reputation alone."
Zhou Fei said: "The truth cannot be calculated like this. In short, the minister disagrees with your majesty's decision, and at the same time persuades your majesty to dispel this idea. About the Qingzhu pasture, Rongchen is thinking about it."
"The general must think quickly." Li Xuan said, "After all, the time left by the temple is running out."
Zhou Fei bowed his hands to salute: "The minister will retire first."
Li Xuan nodded slightly.
Leaving the Imperial Study Room, Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi were still waiting outside. After seeing Zhou Fei, the two immediately greeted him: "How? Has your Majesty made a decision."
Zhou Fei shook his head: "This matter will be kept secret for now, don't mention it to outsiders."
"But the ministers of the Central Government will know sooner or later. The temple will inevitably release news that will shake the hearts of my Datang people." Lu Tiansuo said.
Zhou Fei rubbed his swollen temples: "Let me think about it, maybe there are some remedies."
Jiang Ziyi clasped his fists: "Fortunately, Mr. Six."
Zhou Fei waved his hand and walked outside the palace step by step.
Lu Tiansuo and Jiang Ziyi looked at him from behind.
"When did Mr. Six hunch back?"
"Because Mr. Six is carrying a mountain."
"Can we survive this catastrophe?"
"It's hard."
After Zhou Fei left the palace, he staggered back home.
The joy of defeating Yue Jingyu has long since disappeared.
He is like a tattered fishing net with holes everywhere.
The huge pressure was about to crush Zhou Fei completely from the inside out.
Perhaps Yue Jingyu should have killed himself in the first place, so he didn't have to endure such pain.
