I’ll Be the Male Lead’s Sister-in-Law

Xie Xuanchen kept thinking about how to tell Mu Mingtang the truth about the afternoon while washing himself. He had planted Yeluyan and Xie Xuanji's words before they were fully compiled, and suddenly he saw Yeluyan stand up from the northern army seat.

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall was magnificent, and the Jiaofang Division arranged a grand dance, and a group of palace ladies with sleeves and thin waists danced on the high platform. Yeluyan made peace with the music in the background, holding a wine bottle aloft to toast to the emperor: "Rong Ye two countries negotiated a peace, this is a grand event in the world, it will definitely affect the overall situation of the world. With this cup, I wish our two countries a smooth peace talks, and wish both countries Your Majesty will come for generations."

The emperor smiled when he heard these words, and raised his glass to respond. Yeluyan drank a glass of wine in public. Suddenly, the conversation changed, and he said: "We Darong sincerely want to form an alliance with the Ye Dynasty. However, along the way, too many people want to interfere with the overall situation of the negotiation. Your Majesty, why don't outsiders talk about it for the time being, the court of Ye State should advocate peace talks?"

The emperor promised: "This is natural. The prince can rest assured of this."

"That's good." Yeluyan said, "May the two countries of Rong and Ye be a brotherly state forever. The monarchs of the two countries are worthy of brothers, and the white-haired old man on the border does not know how to fight.

Yeluyan publicly proposed the content of the peace talks today, which means that the prelude to the peace talks will officially begin.

Of course, the real contract is bound to be extremely complicated, and there are many small regulations, but today, the two parties must first set the tone. If one thinks that we are a celestial country and we should let each other pay tribute to congratulate each other, and the other thinks of equal coexistence and truce, then there is no need to discuss the next treaty.

Even after talking, it’s better to save some effort. Today, Yeluyan is the first to throw the touchstone, and both sides are testing each other's attitude and bottom line.

The emperor mentioned the **** slightly and said, "Of course, I would like to have a good relationship with Bei Rong forever, sitting on an equal footing, and the younger generations will use the preface."

The emperor agreed to the first condition proposed by Yeluyan. This is undoubtedly the consensus of many people. Today is different. With the current size of the Ye dynasty, it is unrealistic to imagine that all nations will come to the dynasty like the previous dynasty, and the vassal state will be the subject. Negotiating peace with Bei Rong on an equal footing is a good thing for both countries.

The first condition is the prerequisite. Only when the general attitude is consistent can the latter conditions continue. Yeluyan also said: "We are here for peace talks with sincerity. After the armistice, Ye dynasty will not station troops on the border, nor will it build city gods and observatories. Our two countries will open borders to each other to allow businessmen to come and go freely."

No garrison or construction of city defenses was allowed, and the emperor frowned, feeling that doing so was risky. However, the emperor changed his mind to the fact that the contract is mutual. If Bei Rong also withdrew, it would not hurt, but it would promote commercial circulation.

The emperor said: "It is possible to withdraw troops, but Bei Rong must also agree to the same conditions, otherwise it will be unfair for me to be alone without defense."

This was within Yeluyan's expectation, and he readily agreed. After two consensuses were reached, the people on the Ye side undoubtedly relaxed a lot.

Judging from this momentum, reaching a settlement is not difficult. It would be great if there is no need to fight again in the future.

Yeluyan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, already very confident about the next few conditions. The first two are temptations. Since the Ye Dynasty really has the intention to agree, they will definitely agree to the latter conditions.

Because Xie Xuanchen was born, Yeluyan discussed with the messenger urgently this afternoon, and specifically relaxed several conditions. Yeluyan thought that they had been very sincere after modifying the conditions, and it was strange that Ye Chao did not agree.

Yeluyan was steady in ten, and her voice became calm: "His Majesty also sincerely negotiated peace. This is really great. Except for the border exchanges, Ye Guodang will fund 300,000 taels of military expenses and 200,000 horses of silk from Darong every year. Delivery to Xiongzhou."

Funding military expenditures?

The emperor frowned slightly, Yeluyan said nicely, and subsidized Beirong's military expenses, but in other words, isn't this just Suibi.

But 300,000 silver and 200,000 silk are not too much. If there is a war, military expenditures can be much larger than this. It's worth buying peace with half a million.

The emperor has already agreed in his heart, but he is the king of a country after all, and now it is embarrassing that he cannot maintain the decentness of the sovereign state. If he agrees to the coins, he may be pointed by the historian. The emperor pretended to decline and said: "Since it is a country of brothers, it is necessary to help each other and help each other in difficulties. However, there are too many 500,000, and there is too much pressure on the government."

"For others or many, but for Emperor Ye, 500,000 is just a small number." Yeluyan said, "Tokyo is densely populated and commerce is prosperous. I don't know how much it will be in a year, but 500,000 is for you. In other words, it is really trivial. If there is a war, then there is nothing, but if you can exchange 500,000 for peace, your court can earn far more than this 500,000."

What Yeluyan said is reasonable, and the emperor has basically agreed, but these words cannot be said by a monarch. In the final analysis, Suibi is not a glorious thing.

Prime Minister Song knew the elegant intentions when he heard the song, and he immediately answered the conversation, and talked to Yeluyan kindly in Mandarin, both in and out of the words revealed the meaning of compromise. Others who were sitting close heard that Beirong had to be given 500,000 coins every year. Although they were saddened by the absence of the sovereign state, they felt at ease.

Five hundred thousand is not a lot for a country. Anyway, it is finally taken away from the account of the court. It is not painful for them, but they can enjoy the rare peace. Why not do it.

The sleeves on the stage were still floating softly, and the others couldn't hear what the emperor and Yeluyan said, but looking at the expressions of the big figures above, they probably guessed that they were discussing business. Prime Minister Song frequently relented, seeing that he was about to agree, Xie Xuanchen suddenly put the wine bottle on the table. He used too much force, and saw the wine bottle crack open and smashed with a bang.

The others were taken aback by the movement, and the palace ladies dancing on the high platform also took a break, not understanding what happened on the court. Xie Xuanchen was already holding back his anger, he glanced at the dancing girl coldly, his thin lips opened slightly: "Get down."

These two words are not loud, but the air-conditioning inside seems to have substance, and the whole palace is spreading and freezing, silent. The dancer from Jiaofang Division was startled, and subconsciously stepped aside, panicking.

Xie Xuanchen's movements were not small. From the emperor and Yeluyan above, to the ordinary officials below, and even the ladies and ladies who gathered to chat, all looked towards Xie Xuanchen.

Yeluyan's expression changed, and she became cold, and asked, "What does Wang An mean?"

Xie Xuanchen seemed to be really angry. His face was jade-like. At this moment, he completely narrowed his smile. The tearful mole under his eyes was cold and decisive, and murderous: "I have been in the founding of the Ye dynasty, and I have been fighting both internally and externally. But I have never surrendered without a fight. The people are the most valuable, the society is the second, the emperor is the light, and the worst is the worst. Anyway, the Ye dynasty does not make peace, does not cut the land, does not pay tribute, and the year of the currency. "

The atmosphere in this hall was frozen. Especially Song Jae and others who advocated peace talks were a little dumbfounded at the moment.

It's only half a million, what is Xie Xuanchen doing? Why do you have to make trouble with Beirong people in public for a little money?

Yeluyan's expression quickly sank when she heard Xie Xuanchen's words, and the other Beirong people also stared like bells, showing a guarded posture.

Yeluyan didn't want to make the scene too extreme. It would have been negotiated. If it were a complete collapse, it would be ugly to continue afterwards. There was room in Yeluyan’s words, and he sighed slightly, and said: "An Wang is very strong and righteous, and I am impressed. But the problem cannot be solved by fighting. The cost of fighting is huge. It is far worse than peaceful coexistence. Both countries are beneficial. Five hundred thousand yuan is really insignificant to your court. I am afraid it is less than one-tenth of your military expenditure. It is very cost-effective to exchange such a small amount of money for border peace. It has been long heard that King An has rich trophies and extravagant expenses. Could it be that he is not willing to even 500,000?"

Five hundred thousand is of course not too much for Xie Xuanchen. Mu Mingtang knows the financial situation of his mansion, not to mention the court, Xie Xuanchen can immediately get five hundred thousand. However, this is not a question of money.

Xie Xuanchen sneered. Although he was smiling, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes were still cold: "Five hundred thousand is really not much, but although I have a lot of money, no one is superfluous. Take the common people. It is impossible for people from foreign countries to have money."

Yeluyan was completely annoyed. He jerked his sleeves, threw the wine glass on the ground, and said gloomily: "King Yi'an said that he didn't agree with the negotiation and wanted to go to war?"

Xie Xuanchen was still sitting upright, his posture was like a sword, and his eyes were awe-inspiring.

"Then go to war."

Xie Xuanchen's voice was powerful and his eyes were cold, and the whole palace was quiet.

Yeluyan was not light, and looked at Xie Xuanchen gloomily. The eyes of the two crossed, and the sound of soldiers could be heard faintly. Yeluyan said in a harsh tone, "My army is strong and strong, and the warriors are not afraid of death. Father Khan only made peace in the face of the Ye Dynasty. We are not afraid of fighting, but can you afford it?"

Xie Xuanchen smiled and said, "If you can't afford to fight, you will know if you come and try."

No one in the main hall dared to speak, Song Prime Minister Xin raised his throat. In fact, Yeluyan was right. They Beirong were originally nomads and were not afraid of fighting, but the court really couldn't afford it.

Xie Xuanchen's gaze was squinting, not giving way. After a while, Yeluyan took the lead and said: "Since the peace talks are the consensus of the two countries, the details can be discussed. The issue of the currency will be discussed later."

All the officials present, including Jiang Honghao, who is in charge of the finances of the three departments, were surprised. They were already ready to pay for Taiping, but Xie Xuanchen suddenly got into trouble, let alone, Yeluyan turned out to regress in the end?

One step at a time when negotiating concessions is one step at a time. At the very beginning, it shows a sense of compromise, exposing one's bottom line, and then it is impossible to come back. Yeluyan said that it was the annual currency to discuss it again, but the officials knew that if it was discussed again, it would be no more.

The hundreds of officials looked at each other, and no one thought that it was this development.
