“I’ve already sent someone to invite him.”

Emperor Yongxing retracted his gaze and said lightly, ”

“Let’s wait another fifteen minutes.”

“Yes!” Zhao xuanzhen replied in a low voice.

Although the officials in the hall did not hear the conversation between the Lord and the servant, they could guess what had happened. The envoy from Yunzhou had arrived “late,” so they were late.

All of them had experienced great storms and waves, so they didn’t show it on their faces, but they secretly evaluated in their hearts.

The leader of the cloud state’s diplomatic mission was a young man named Ji Yuan. He called himself the ninth young master and was the ninth son of the hidden Dragon city’s city Lord.

In terms of bloodline, they belonged to the great Feng imperial clan.

Everyone was well aware of the ninth young master’s style of doing things. He was sharp and overbearing.

Fortunately, in less than 15 minutes, Ji Yuan and the others stepped into the throne room under the lead of the eunuch.

Everyone turned around and looked at the young man who stepped into the hall.

He was wearing a moon-white robe embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns. His sleeves hung down naturally, and the pendant around his waist jingled. He had handsome facial features and excellent skin.

Behind him was a young man and a young woman who looked somewhat similar. One was cold and the other cold.

Further back, of the six old men in official robes, two were in Crimson robes embroidered with cloud geese, while four were in green robes embroidered with white egrets and egrets.

The official’s robes on their bodies undoubtedly pierced the sensitive hearts of Emperor Yongxing and the Dukes. It was just a mere Yunzhou, what did it mean for the diplomatic corps to wear official’s robes?

“Yunzhou envoy Ji Yuan greets Your Majesty.”

Ji Yuan smiled and bowed slightly, exuding a sense of nobility and calmness.

Emperor Yongxing nodded and said in a loud and calm voice, ”

“Lord Ji has come to the capital to negotiate peace on behalf of Yunzhou. I have given you the greatest courtesy, but you are late.

“Is this the sincerity of Yunzhou’s peace negotiations?”

His expression was serious as he looked disdainfully at His Highness Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan didn’t panic at all. He smiled and bowed.

“It wasn’t my intention, but before I set off today, a silver Gong from the relay made things difficult for me and insulted me, which delayed my departure.

“I came with sincerity, but I didn’t expect that a mere silver Gong would dare to treat me coldly and curse at me. If I may be so bold as to ask Your Majesty, is this the sincerity of Dafeng’s peace negotiations?”

Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai listened by the side. The siblings were well aware of Ji Yuan’s eloquence. Even if he was late for two hours, he could still reason with them, let alone being late for 15 minutes.

He made himself sound reasonable.

He had turned the tables on him and, at the same time, in front of the Emperor and the Dukes, had pinned a hat on that reckless silver Gong.

If Emperor Yongxing didn’t deal with it, it would be a solid act of neglect and making things difficult for him, leaving behind a handle.

Sure enough, Emperor Yongxing frowned and muttered, ”

“Who is unruly and dare to curse envoy Ji?”

Ji Yuan replied with a calm tone, ”

“Song tingfeng, the silver Gong.”

Emperor Yongxing went through the name in his mind but he had no impression of it. His first reaction was that there might be someone behind the arrogant silver Gong who was ordered to destroy the peace negotiations.

There was naturally no need to hesitate in dealing with a silver Gong. Just as he was about to speak, the left imperial censor Liu Hong stood out and said, ”

“Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding.”

An official in a red robe behind Ji Yuan retorted, ”

“Does this Lord mean that our Lord Ji is just making things up?”

Liu Hong ignored him and continued, ”

song yinluo was loyal and courageous. When they were annihilating the rebellion in Yunzhou, he fought alongside Xu Qi ‘an. After that, he made many contributions and was Xu Qi’ an’s right-hand man when he was appointed as yinluo. Why would they purposely insult and make things difficult for the cloud state’s diplomatic mission?

“There must be a reason behind this. Your Majesty, please investigate it thoroughly.”

Emperor Yongxing said indifferently,”Minister Liu is right. I will investigate the situation and give envoy Ji an explanation.”

Investigate what? There was no need to check!

Liu Hong had made it very clear that the man surnamed song, Yin Gong, was Xu Qi ‘an’s man.

With such a powerful backer behind him, as long as he didn’t commit murder or arson, he could basically rest easy.

Naturally, Emperor Yongxing would not be on bad terms with Xu Qi ‘an over such a small matter. He would send someone to warn that Yin Gong and then transfer him back to the Yamen.

Ji Yuan was stunned and suddenly understood why that guy dared to be so unscrupulous.

It turned out that he was backed by the number one martial artist of Da Feng.

“Then I thank you, Your Majesty.”

He knew when to stop and didn’t insist on it.

It was obvious that the little emperor would not offend Xu Qi ‘an over such a small matter. If he kept harping on it, he would only be asking for trouble.

The six officials who came along for the audience looked at each other in shock. No wonder Yin Gong was so arrogant and despotic.

He was still unhappy in his heart, but the peace negotiations today were huge, so he didn’t bother with that small person.

After some chit-chat and wrangling, Ji Yuan said in a clear voice, ”

“Since the beginning of winter, Yunzhou has been at war with Dafeng for two months, causing the people to suffer and the people to be in great misery. I have been ordered to come to the capital to negotiate peace. Your Majesty and the rest of you have agreed to the peace talks …”

The process of the peace talks was to first set the main tone, and then the Honglu temple would be in charge of negotiations and confirming the details. If the matter was particularly important, the Ministry of Rites would also be involved.

During this process, he had to hand over the daily negotiation process to the Emperor.

The final result could only be decided after the Emperor and the Dukes had a discussion.

Today, the “main tone” would be set, and the framework of the negotiation would be established first.

After Ji Yuan finished his long speech, he said, ”

“The Army of Yunzhou is unstoppable and has occupied Qingzhou. The great Minister of Justice died half a month ago. However, Imperial father is benevolent and can’t bear to see the people face another war. He is willing to negotiate with great Feng, and great Feng has to agree to four conditions.”

The master of Hidden Dragon City had already proclaimed himself as the Emperor of cloud Prefecture.

Father … The supervisor had fallen … Emperor Yongxing glanced at the officials of Yunzhou behind Ji Yuan. He took a deep breath and said, ”

“Please speak, envoy Ji.”

Ji Yuan said, ”

first, every year, Da Feng will pay a tribute of 500000 taels of silver and 600000 rolls of silk to Yunzhou. This will take effect immediately after the peace negotiations. I want to bring back this year’s tribute first.

Just as he finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue jumped out and reprimanded, ”

“Ignorant child, you’re lying through your teeth.

“500000 taels of silver? Six hundred thousand rolls of silk? Aren’t you afraid that the wind will cut your tongue?”

There was a reason for the Minister of Revenue’s anger. This money was not much in times of peace and prosperity.

However, the National Treasury was currently empty. In order to maintain the operation of the Imperial court and the military expenses, it was already struggling to support itself. It did not even have any money or food to help the disaster victims.

If they wanted 500000 taels of silver at once, Yunzhou would not even need to go to war. They could just wait for the Imperial court to collapse.

How was this a peace negotiation? this was a hidden evil intention to force Da Feng to death.

The Minister of Revenue was afraid that Emperor Yongxing didn’t understand “economics” and would agree rashly, so he jumped out first to criticize.

Ji Yuan opened his fan and shook his head.

“The Central Plains is rich and prosperous. A mere 500000 taels of silver is nothing.”

His eyes brightened and he said, ”

“Could it be that the Imperial court can’t even produce five hundred thousand taels of silver?”

The Minister of Revenue’s heart trembled and he coldly snorted.

“My Da Feng is a powerful country, how can a little brat like you estimate it.”

Ji Yuan asked, ”

“Oh, if that’s the case, then great Feng has no intention of making peace.”

This kid has. sharp tongue … The Dukes frowned.
