The Jagged Empire of Daqin
Page 187
Fortunately, the dragon chair was made of pure gold, otherwise, it probably wouldn't be able to bear the weight of Yan Diliu.
"call!"
Yan Diliu, who was sitting paralyzed on the black carved dragon throne, panted angrily, stared at the officials with red eyes, and roared in a hoarse voice: "Let me find a way for you, if you can't figure it out, don't even think about leaving!" Chengqian Palace!"
As soon as the words fell, Song Qian, the minister of rites in his forties, stood out of the official queue, bent over with a dignified expression, and made a report: "Your Majesty, I believe that we should immediately send envoys to negotiate a peace and truce with Emperor Qin, and Emperor Qin proposed I, Dayan, will satisfy all the requirements, of course, I will not agree to excessive demands!"
"Okay, then do as Aiqing says!" Yan Diliu agreed without hesitation.
If it was before the time of Yizhuxiang, he would not have agreed so quickly, but now that Huaicheng has fallen, he dare not not agree. If he does not agree, the imperial capital will be gone, and the emperor will be gone. He, the emperor, will be captured!
In 800, the Great Yan Dynasty inherited 38 emperors, and none of the 38 emperors was captured. He Yanliu didn't want to be the first captured Yan Emperor, otherwise he would have no face to sit on this black dragon throne, ruling People!
"Where is Liang Kuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites!" Song Qian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, shouted solemnly.
"The next official is here!" Liang Kuan, the left servant, immediately stepped out of the official queue and responded.
"Where are Pang Qiu, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Wei!" Song Qian continued to shout.
"The subordinate is here!"
Pang Qiu and Zhu Wei, doctors of the Ministry of Rites, stepped out of the official ranks one after another to respond.
"This time we are negotiating with Emperor Qin, Liang Kuan, the left servant, is the main envoy, and Pang Qiu and Zhu Wei are the deputy envoys. Hurry up now!" Song Qian ordered decisively.
"Obey!" The three of them bent down in unison, and quickly turned around and left Chengqian Hall.
After the three of them left, Emperor Yan opened his mouth and shouted: "Until the results of the negotiation come out, no one is allowed to leave Chengqian Palace, eat and drink to the right side hall, and lax to the left side hall!"
The reason why Yan Diliu refused to let Baiguan leave was because of two worries. First, he was worried that the Qin army would kill him and no one could rely on him. He felt a little safe when Baiguan was here. Some of the ministers of Wu secretly voted for Emperor Qin and secretly opened the city gate at night. Wouldn't he just have to catch him without a fight?
If Minister Wu knew that Yan Diliu thought this way, he would definitely be chilled. They worked hard for Emperor Yan, and the result was indeed suspicion. Moreover, a majestic emperor needs courtiers to bring him a sense of security. He is simply a failure and useless mediocrity Jun.
Time passed slowly, and the days passed by!
Flash forward three days, at noon on November 14th, [-]th year of Shengqin!
Fifty miles northeast of the capital of Emperor Wuyang, in an open space, the Qin army camped!
Since the road from Huaicheng to Emperor Wuyang is very flat, the three thousand Xuanjia troops raided day and night for three consecutive days, covering more than [-] miles, only [-] miles away from Emperor Wuyang, and they can reach Emperor Wuyang in half a day!
It was noon at this time, and the officers and men of the Xuanjia Army were lighting a fire and cooking, and in the commander's tent, Ying Chang was wearing the dragon emperor's armor and sitting high in the commander's seat, while Bai Qi stood on the right side of the tent, and the two brothers looked at the tent The three swallow envoys in the center.
Ying Chang took a careful look at the three envoys, and then said with a blank expression, "It's so hard to wait for the three of you!"
The three envoys of Yan made Ying Chang unhappy for a while, not because they provoked Ying Chang, but because the three envoys of Yan had been waiting for him here. When he learned about this, the corners of Ying Chang's mouth twitched. What kind of people are the officials? It is obvious that the Yan Empire suffered a defeat, making it look like Daqin was in a hurry to see the Yan envoy after losing a battle.
These three envoys from Yan are the chief envoy Liang Kuan, the deputy envoys Pang Qiu, and Zhu Wei. Because they didn't want to ride horses, they simply camped on the official road and waited quietly for the Qin army to attack. To them, As long as you can meet and discuss with Emperor Qin, the process is not important.
"It's a blessing for foreign ministers to wait for Emperor Qin!" The main envoy, Liang Kuan, had no idea what Yingchang really meant.
"Yes!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Deputy envoy Pang Qiu Zhuwei hurriedly smiled and saluted and flattered him.
Are these three people weird?I was so obvious, I didn't realize what I meant, and I still climbed up the pole. Yingchang was extremely speechless in his heart, feeling that the Great Yan Empire was hopeless. I really want to destroy the Yan Empire in one fell swoop.
Bai Qi looked at the three of them very much like looking at a fool, as if to ask again, these three were sent by that fool.
"Tell me, why did you come here!" Ying Chang went straight to the point, and didn't want to get entangled in the envoy Yan waiting for him.
His time is precious.
The main envoy, Liang Kuan, bowed down respectfully and saluted and said with a smile: "This time, I came here to discuss the truce with His Majesty the Emperor of Qin. My Majesty said that as long as His Majesty Qin is willing to cease the war, we will withdraw. Within the territory of the Great Yan Empire, the Great Yan Empire is willing to pay for all the losses of the Great Qin Empire!"
"Really willing to pay?" Ying Chang's mouth slightly raised.
The chief envoy Liang Kuan was overjoyed, feeling that the truce was hopeful, and immediately replied sonorously: "Yes!"
"Okay!" Ying Chang yelled, "When Yan He, the commander-in-chief of your soldiers and horses, was standing on the wall of Huai City, he also told me that as long as I am willing to stop the war and withdraw from the territory of the Great Yan Empire, the Great Yan Empire will I am willing to pay for all the losses of the Great Qin Empire!"
"I told him that as long as the Great Yan Empire can give you [-] million taels of silver, I will withdraw my troops immediately. Unfortunately, your General Marshal disagreed. As a result, Huai City was broken in less than half a stick of incense time, and he was also killed." I will die!"
"Originally, this matter could be solved with [-] million taels of silver, but it can't be done now. I want [-] million taels of silver. Without [-] million taels of silver, Daqin will never retreat, and tomorrow he will break through Wuyang City and enter the palace. , By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that I have already promised the soldiers that after entering the palace, they will be exempted from military discipline for three days!"
"what!"
"Three hundred million?"
"This... Where did Dayan get so much money!"
They were shocked when they heard 3000 million taels of silver, but they were shocked when they heard that Daqin had to give [-] million taels of silver to retreat, let alone [-] million taels, Dayan Whether the empire can spend [-] million is a question.
PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a full order, keep the recommendation ticket for me, and keep the monthly ticket for me, as long as I get enough recommended tickets and monthly tickets, the author will add updates, ten updates a day is not a problem !"
Chapter 482 Emperor Qin's Revenge!
Seeing the shocked and embarrassed looks of the three Yan envoys, Ying Chang smiled disapprovingly and said, "Don't tell me that I can't get it out, you know, I am in Huaicheng, and I have seized 400 million taels from the Huaicheng family. Baiyin, I believe that Wuyang City, as the capital of the Dayan Empire, must have richer families, and spending [-] million yuan will not be a problem!"
The main envoy, Liang Kuan, frowned, raised his hand in salute with a solemn expression, and said, "His Majesty Qin Emperor, 3000 million taels of silver is too much, and Dayan can only give [-] million taels of silver!"
"Can't you give it?" Ying Chang asked back.
"I can't!" Liang Kuan shook his head without hesitation.
"Come here!" Ying Chang shouted lightly.
As soon as the words fell, the two soldiers of the Xuanjia Army quickly lifted the curtain, strode into the handsome tent, bent down respectfully and shouted together: "What is your majesty's order!"
Liang Kuan, Pang Qiu, and Zhu Wei stared wide-eyed, with a hint of panic flashing in their eyes, and Liang Kuan couldn't help asking: "What does Emperor Qin mean by this? Could it be that the negotiations cannot be concluded, and the threat of life and death is threatened?" Us? If the two countries do not fight each other, the Emperor Qin cannot risk the displeasure of the world!"
"Hehe!" Ying Chang smiled sarcastically, "You Yan Empire is not qualified to say this at all. When you killed my Great Qin envoy, why didn't you say that the two countries fought without beheading the envoy? Do you think the Yan Empire is so powerful? Only the county Order to set fires and not allow people to light lamps?"
"Come here, drag these two out and cut them off. This one will cripple his arm, and leave him with his life to report the letter. In a word, if there is no three hundred million taels of silver, I will enter the palace. There will be no military discipline for three days." Arrived!" Ying Chang shouted coldly.
"As ordered!"
The two soldiers of the Xuanjia Army responded solemnly and respectfully, and then dragged Pang Qiu Zhuwei down, and then two more soldiers of the Xuanjia Army came in from outside the tent and dragged Liang Kuan out as well.
"No!"
"do not want!"
"what!!"
The screams sounded one after another, Pang Qiu Zhuwei's two heads fell off, Liang Kuan's arm was twisted off, it was directly crushed, and he couldn't even pick it up.
Later historical records: At about noon on November 14th, [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Emperor of the Holy Qin retaliated against Yan and killed the envoy of Qin. Take it to the extreme.
After Liang Kuan was crippled, Ying Chang sent someone to send him back. At the same time, he also told Liang Kuan that Daqin gave the Yan Empire two days to consider, and after two days, attack the capital of Wuyang!
Night, Haishi, Wuyang Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace, Chengqian Hall!
Chengqian Hall has always been open only during the day, but late at night today, the Chengqian Hall is brightly lit, the military officials in the hall changed from standing to sitting, Yan Diliu also sat on the black dragon throne on the high platform, Wu Baiguan and Yan Diliu didn't say a word, which made the atmosphere in Chengqian Hall strange.
They have been in Chengqian Palace for three days, and they have come here in this way for three days. They eat, drink, and scatter all in the left and right side halls of Chengqian Palace. night scent.
"Report!"
At this moment, a Marquis of the Imperial Forest Army rushed into Chengqian Hall, and all the military officials looked at him in unison. Yan Diliu was also shocked. He walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down on one knee with a respectful expression, and wrote a report: "Your Majesty, the main envoy Liang Kuan came down to the west gate under the escort of several Qin soldiers, whether to open the city gate and let the main envoy Liang Kuan enter the city! "
Qin Jun escort?
The military officials were slightly taken aback, and after that, many ministers showed a hint of joy, why?The fact that Liang Kuan was escorted by Qin Jun shows that the negotiation was good, otherwise why would Qin Jun send someone to escort Liang Kuan and give Liang Kuan a face?
This is a good sign!
Yan Diliu also agreed with Yixi, and quickly said: "Do you still have to report this? Let him in quickly. By the way, don't let Qin Jun enter the city, not even one of them. Let Qin Jun go first, and then let Liang Kuan enter the city!"
While Emperor Yan was delighted, he did not lower his vigilance.
"Obey!" The Marquis of the Imperial Forest Army responded respectfully, then stood up from the ground, turned around and quickly left Chengqian Hall!
After the imperial guards left, Yan Diliu looked at Deng Huazhen, the Minister of the Household Department. Deng Huazhen is 52 years old this year. He has served as the Minister of the Household Department for 18 years. Money?" Yan Diliu looked at Deng Huazhen expectantly and asked.
Deng Huazhen stood up from the ground, bowed down respectfully and reported: "Return to Your Majesty, the treasury still has 800 million taels of silver, 120 million taels of gold, and a total of 6000 million taels of silver!"
"Phew!" Yan Diliu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, the treasury has 6000 million taels of silver, and I'm not afraid that the damn Emperor Qin's lion will open its mouth!"
Deng Hua really didn't say a word. In fact, he was not worried that Qin Emperor Lion would open his mouth. As long as Qin Jun was willing to retreat, he could give [-] million yuan. Although the treasury didn't have that much money, it would be almost [-] million yuan if the big families in Wuyang pooled it together. Two silver.
What he was most afraid of was that Emperor Qin forced Dayan to cede the land. If the money is gone, he can earn it back. If the land is gone, it will be gone.
As the saying goes, the green hills left behind are not afraid of lack of firewood!
Not only Deng Huazhen thinks so, but other ministers of Wu also think so, because behind every minister, there is a family background, and they don't worry about money at all.
After a while, Liang Kuan staggered into the Chengqian Hall with the support of two imperial guards. At this time, Liang Kuan's face was pale, and he was holding his left shoulder to suck in the air-conditioning, and his arm was twisted to pieces. This pain was worse than death. It was still painful, he had been in pain all day, and his shoulder had swollen into a big bag.
Seeing Liang Kuan's miserable appearance, all military officials were dumbfounded, no, wasn't he escorted by Qin Jun?Why such a ghostly look!
Yan Diliu was also taken aback when he saw Liang Kuan's left hand hanging down weakly, and the Erzhang monk couldn't touch it immediately, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart.Enduring the severe pain, Liang Kuan walked to the center of the hall. He really wanted to raise his hand to salute, but he lost control of his left hand, so he bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin is abominable. He executed Pang Qiu and Zhu Wei. The left hand of this minister was twisted to pieces by Qin Jun..."
Liang Kuan's voice was weak and his figure was unstable. If it wasn't for the imperial guards supporting him, he might have fallen to the ground.
"what!"
"Emperor Qin beheaded to kill?"
"Emperor Qin is taking revenge, this is taking revenge!"
"Alas, the matter of killing the envoy of Qin finally leaked out!"
PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a full subscription, and ask for three daily requests. I hope you guys can agree to the humble author's request!"
Chapter 483 Donate money to pay for compensation!
"Paper can't wrap fire. These things were in my expectation, but I didn't expect that Emperor Qin is a villain who will take revenge!"
"Who leaked it?"
"Does it need to be said? It must be Zhao Shan, the envoy of Zhao who met with the envoy of Qin last time. He is really shameless. He took advantage of me, Dayan, and didn't help Dayan keep the secret. He should be damned!"
The military officials discussed a lot, with different expressions. Some ministers showed shock, some showed worry and fear, and some lamented and dejected.
"Qin Emperor killed my envoy, didn't he mean that he was unwilling to cease fighting with Dayan?" Yan Diliu didn't care at all about Pang Qiu Zhuwei being killed. Yan envoy, abolishing a Yan envoy, this is enough to show that Emperor Qin had no intention of truce with Dayan.
Thinking of this, Yan Diliu couldn't help feeling panicky, and the fat all over his body trembled because of fear. At this moment, he was full of regrets, regretting that he should take revenge on the Qin envoy, and even more regret killing the Qin envoy, otherwise, things would have happened. It will not develop into an unmanageable situation.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, Emperor Qin...Emperor Qin said...Dayan must pay Daqin [-] million taels of silver, otherwise, he will enter the palace and be exempted from military discipline for three days..." Liang Kuan's face was pale and his face was full. Fear, the tongue is like a knot, and he hesitates to speak.
As soon as Emperor Yan heard that he had entered the palace and was exempted from military discipline for three days, he was so frightened that his whole body went limp, dripping with cold sweat, and he quickly replied without hesitation: "Pay! Dayan compensate!"
The palace is full of concubines, princesses and members of the royal family. If the Qin army enters the palace and is exempted from military discipline for three days, won't the Yan royal family face a catastrophe?When the time comes, the concubine and princess will be humiliated, what will be the face of the Great Yan Empire, and the face of the emperor will be left there again!
Not to mention [-] million, [-] million will be given!
What to do if there is no money in the treasury, search, and turn Emperor Wuyang upside down, you have to collect [-] million!
"Three hundred million!"
"Emperor Qin is really a lion with a big mouth, one mouth is [-] million!"
"Too many, it's an astronomical number!"
"This is my Dayan's financial income for more than ten years!"
Minister Wu's face was full of shock, obviously frightened by the astronomical figure of [-] million.
Hubu Shangshu Deng Huazhen frowned, turned his head to look at Liang Kuan in the center of the hall with a solemn expression, and asked, "Liang Zuoshilang, is the three hundred million the bottom line of Emperor Qin? Can it be lower?"
Enduring the severe pain, Liang Kuan replied feebly, "Back to Mr. Deng, you can't...can't be lower, this is the bottom line of Emperor Qin..."
When Wu Baiguan heard this sentence, his face showed disappointment, while Deng Huazhen looked helpless, the hall was silent for a while, Deng Huazhen stood out of the official queue, faced Wu Baiguan, and took the lead in breaking the silence: " Colleagues, if the imperial capital falls, Dayan will lose face, and you will be stabbed in the back by the people when you go out, and once the Qin army captures the imperial capital, they may raise their butcher knives at us!"
"So colleagues, don't hide it. The fall of the imperial capital will be a disaster for you and me. I, Deng Huazhen, donated 2000 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Households in the name of the Deng family. You can watch the donation according to your own family situation. !"
When Yan Diliu heard these words, his face turned red immediately, and his voice was full of gratitude and relief: "Deng Aiqing is really a national scholar, I am very pleased!"
Deng Hua was bleeding from the inside, but he didn't show it. He turned around and bowed to Emperor Yan to salute, and said righteously: "This is what a courtier should do!"
On the surface, it looks righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact, you are already scolding your mother. If it weren't for you, a stupid pig, would you have ended up in this situation? 2000 million, the savings of the Deng family for hundreds of years!
No, something has to be done, otherwise today's incident will happen a second time!
Deng Huazhen gradually developed a different heart, and a conspiracy against Yan Diliu gradually took shape.
"Ugh"
The military officer let out a long sigh, his face full of distress and reluctance.
Ji Yong, Minister of the Ministry of War, slowly stepped out of the official queue, raised his hand expressionlessly and said: "Return to Your Majesty, minister Ji Yong, in the name of Ji's family, donated 2000 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
