Please, let me be a fool

But no matter what, this time I have something to ask for, so naturally it is impossible to care about such a trivial matter.

"That's good." Zhang Zhengming nodded, then took out a booklet from his sleeve, and said, "Tiandu and I, Great Wei, are about to conclude an alliance, but there are some things that must be agreed in advance. Your Majesty Tiandu, you Take a look, here are a few suggestions from my great Wei."

Hearing this, Ah Qin III smiled, but did not take it, but asked Tian Du Xiangguo beside him to watch first.

He came to Dawei to conclude the covenant, so naturally he couldn't come alone.

Tiandu Xiangguo, placed in the Great Wei, has almost the same status as Zhang Zhengming, and is also a think tank brought by Ah Qin III.

This person took the booklet with a smile, then opened it, and after a cursory glance, his smile subsided immediately, and his expression changed drastically: "This... the Grand Tutor of the Great Wei Dynasty, the head of the country, these conditions, this... ..Your Majesty, look."

Tiandu Xiangguo originally wanted to scold and refuse directly, but he didn't dare to speak directly, and instead asked his Majesty to watch.

Ah Qin III also realized that it was not good, but on the surface he remained calm, and then took a look.

His expression was exactly the same as that of Xiangguo.

Because these conditions are really too harsh.If it's just some trade priorities, there are others, it's nothing, he can accept it, the problem is that Dawei has taken a fancy to many iron mines in Tiandu territory, and even gold mines.

What do you say that the two parties should jointly mine, and then divide it into three or seven...

Tiandu III couldn't help coughing, and said: "Master Taifu of Great Wei, I can accept those trades. After all, there are some things in Great Wei, and I, Tiandu, also need them, but the iron ore and gold mine belong to me." God, if you don’t send people to mine by yourself, it’s fine, and after we’re done mining, we’ll share [-]% of it with you, which makes it very difficult for me.”

These words made Song Gongwen's heart tighten. When the conditions were agreed on the road, he felt that the conditions were not good.

After all, if you don't send someone to mine, but you have to take it out and hand it over to Dawei, isn't this equivalent to paying tribute?

And it's still [-]%, even if Tiandu has a lot of resources, it can't be like this.

What's wrong with the teacher?

But soon, Zhang Zhengming's words made him almost faint.

The other party smiled in between, and then said: "Your Majesty Tiandu misunderstood, what our Great Wei wants is not [-]%, but [-]%. If these conditions are acceptable to His Majesty Tiandu, the ministers will immediately report back to His Majesty and conclude an alliance with you." .”

Not [-]%, but [-]%?

At this moment, not only the people on Tiandu's side were shocked.

Even Song Gongwen didn't know what to say, the teacher is simply talking like a lion...

"Your Majesty the Grand Tutor of the Great Wei, although my Tiandu is not as strong as the soldiers of the Great Wei, but I am also a big country in the Eastern Continent. I have an equal relationship with your Great Wei. It is simply too rude for you to do this. My Tiandu and Your Majesty unacceptable."

At this time, Tiandu Xiangguo spoke directly, [-]%, if he could really get help from Wei, he could accept it with gritted teeth.

Now [-]% is directly equivalent to betraying the country and seeking glory. How can there be such a reason?

Isn't this the resource of that day, to supply Wei?

Even if it's just a few mines.

"Since it is a covenant, both parties must have sincerity." Zhang Zhengming's expression turned cold. Who is he?It is the current Tai Tuo, who has stood in the Great Wei Dynasty for decades, and his methods and schemes are all superhuman. How could he be frightened by such a sentence.

Immediately, he continued: "I, Great Wei, can help, fully support His Majesty Tiandu, and conclude a covenant of eternal friendship, but this premise is that Tiandu can pay the conditions that satisfy my Great Wei."

"At the beginning, when King Ah Li was in power, he coveted the land of my Great Wei and invaded many times. My Great Wei was very restrained, but it does not mean that my Great Wei can be bullied by others. The so-called debt repayment is justified. My people and soldiers of the Great Wei have an explanation, these conditions are already regarded as the mercy of His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor, this is still for the sake of Emperor Taizu Gao and King Aqin back then!"

"Perhaps you all know what happened to those places that provoked my great Wei during this period of time. Now my great Wei has not yet reached the time when the country is weak and the people are poor, so there are some battles. It’s still worth it.”

"As for whether you accept it or not, I don't care, but the ministers will report everything to His Majesty Wei!"

Chapter 236 The Harsh Conditions Aqin III Compromise 【Ask Monthly Pass】

After saying this, the smile on Zhang Zhengming's face remained the same.

But whoever was present could feel the threat in this speech.

Song Gongwen especially sighed in his heart.The teacher who has always been kind in front of me unexpectedly has such a side.

But this is also a very normal thing. The teacher can stand in the officialdom of the Great Wei for such a long time without falling down. He is deeply trusted by the late emperor, and even the Marquis of Shenwu admires him very much. It is also very normal for him to behave like this.

Neither he nor the several cabinet scholars next to him said anything. Knowing this, let the Tai Tuo handle it.

And they also agreed with what the Taifu said, after all, Tiandu Kingdom provoked and invaded Wei.

Even though King Ah Li has stepped down.

But the accounts that should be settled must also be settled.

At this time, Tiandu Xiangguo's expression was very ugly. He wanted to refute, but it was difficult to find enough excuses.

Those things that King Ah Li did are well known to the whole world, and it seems that they have nothing to do with the present, but even so, they can be regarded as causing harm to Wei, so it is impossible to ignore them, right?

In fact, he knew very well from the beginning that Wei would use this reason to say a few extremely harsh conditions.

So in their hearts, they have accepted this, but now these conditions really make them don't know what to say.

After all, these are to be explained to the people of Tiandu.

"My lord, I know all this."

"Can't we talk about it? For example, the share of the gold mine is too much, can it be reduced? Everything can be discussed." At this time, Tiandu Xiangguo said that the conditions are acceptable, but it is true Too harsh.

As for arguing with reason, he didn't want to. The situation in the country has not yet been completely calmed down.

If he provokes such a terrible enemy as Da Wei again.

The situation ahead will be difficult.

Even if there is a snow-capped mountain, can it really stop Wei's army?

Not to mention other people, the great Wei Wusi protects Yue Ziyi, is both civil and military, and once caused Tiandu all kinds of troubles, which was very troublesome.Even if this person leads the army, those soldiers on the frontier of Tiandu are unable to resist.

So at this time, the most important thing is to appease the other party. Conditions are all negotiable.

"No, since we have listed these conditions, they must have been carefully considered."

"In order to explain to the people of Great Wei and to His Majesty, no matter what."

Zhang Zhengming shook his head, and bit on these.

He is very clear that the current Tiandu is actually afraid of Wei and doesn't want to make enemies.

As for myself, I can use this opportunity to let them make the biggest concession and let Da Wei strive for more benefits.

Tiandu is a rich country with various mines, especially gold mines.Even Zhang Zhengming has coveted these things for a long time. Now that he finally has the opportunity, how could he give up.

At the same time, in his heart, he also admired His Majesty's foresight more and more.

Tiandu is not as good as Wei now, and it seems that he is coming to conclude a covenant.

But in fact, it is just a stopgap measure.

Between two countries, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

This generation, Tiandu and Dawei can fix it, what about the next generation, the next generation?It's hard to tell.

That being the case, it is better to seek more benefits when gaining the upper hand, so as to make Wei stronger and richer. Only when one's own country is stronger, will it be handy when doing anything in the future.

He felt that His Majesty must have thought the same way, that's why he proposed those extremely harsh conditions.

Talking to them about these conditions now, Zhang Zhengming knew very well in his heart that it was impossible for Tiandu to insist.

As long as one's own side pushes hard enough, the other party will always give in.

Because of the current Great Wei.

Both economically and militarily, it was extremely powerful, and in its heyday, the Eastern Continent had no rivals.Those people in Tiandu have opinions in their hearts, so what if they are not convinced?Just hold it in.

So now, he didn't continue to pay attention to Tiandu Xiangguo, but turned his eyes to Ah Qin III.

Ah Qin III frowned tightly, and was also planning in his heart.

As Chen Xuance knew.

He is not a strong and ambitious monarch, and he will not really put Tiandu's interests above his own life.

Otherwise, at that time, he would not have chosen to rebel and bring down King Ah Li who was obviously beneficial to Tian Du. In fact, at that time, Ah Qin III felt the threat to his life.

Now, the domestic situation is unstable, and he has to rely on Wei. As long as he can consolidate his power and save his life, nothing else is important.

It's just that Aqin III still hesitated in his heart, and wanted Chen Xuance to say a few words to him.

But at some point, Chen Xuance just left...

He knew that no one could count on him now.

Therefore, after a short period of thinking, Ah Qin III took a deep breath, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Teacher Zhang is right, since it is a covenant, both parties must show sincerity. Concession, let the previous things be written off."

"As a big country in the East, I can't be stingy in this regard. Therefore, the conditions for concluding the covenant should be dictated by the Grand Tutor. I have no objection to this!"

As soon as these words came out, Tiandu Xiangguo next to him was shocked, a little unbelievable, and wanted to speak.

After all, once these conditions are agreed and the agreement is signed, it almost feels like a loss of power and humiliation to the country.

But he just wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, because now, it seemed that he could only agree to Da Wei.

For today's Great Wei, their national power is strong, there is absolutely no need to help Tiandu.

When Aqin III raised troops to fight against the former King Ali.

Dawei has already given corresponding support.

Let Wu Sidu protect Yue Ziyi's border, so he has already fulfilled his promise. If he wants the other party to choose to support him, he must pay a price. Although the price is a bit high, it can only be so.

And Song Gongwen and others, after hearing this, all smiled, knowing that this negotiation, the Wei side won a big victory.

Zhang Zhengming smiled even more, and hastily bowed to Lord Tiandu and said, "Your Majesty Tiandu's demeanor is really extraordinary, and the ministers admire him. Okay, let's have a drink together for the sake of the covenant we are about to successfully conclude! "

His appearance was completely different from before, which opened the eyes of Song Gongwen and the others.

As for Aqin III, he also lamented the rapid change in the attitude of the Great Wei Taifu.

simply...

However, although my heart was a little bit bitter, I had no choice but to endure it, so I complied with the other party's request and said, "Where, there, it's absurd, but I still want to ask, since we share those gold mines together , there must be a time limit, right?"

There is no time limit, is it still possible for Dawei to share the gold mine of Tiandu for generations.

Even Ah Qin III knew.

There is an old saying in Central Plains that the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time.

But looking at the current appearance of the Great Wei, it will not collapse for at least 100 years in the future...

"The time limit, let's say 33 years." Zhang Zhengming thought for a while, and felt that this time was just acceptable to the other party.

Not too long, not too short, just about right.

heard.

Ahqin III looked at Xiangguo next to him, and then said: "Okay, let's do this, but I still hope that this covenant can be signed as soon as possible, so..."

"Don't worry, the foreign ministers are going to request His Majesty's orders now!" Zhang Zhengming nodded, knowing that it should not be too late.

Afterwards, he took Song Gongwen and left the banquet hall together.

"teacher."

"Shall we go to see His Majesty now?"

On the way, Song Gongwen was in a good mood. After all, this time, he won great benefits for Wei.

He knew that those few gold mines, although not the largest in Tiandu, produced a considerable amount of gold every year, [-]%, which could bring a huge extra income to Wei.

This money can be used for many things in Wei, and there is no need to worry about the treasury running out of money.

And he also felt that this was a major matter, and he should report it to His Majesty face to face.

However, after Zhang Zhengming heard these words, he shook his head: "Aqin III must hope that the covenant will be signed as soon as possible, so that he can feel at ease, but we will not let him do what he wants, so let him Wait a little longer, so let's directly write a memorial and submit it to His Majesty, and come back after His Majesty's reply, it's okay to delay a little longer."

It will take at least an hour to come and go, but so what?

Dawei can afford energy consumption completely, but Tiandu is the one who can't.

It is best to make the other party anxious.

"Sure enough, the teacher is far-sighted." Hearing this, Song Gongwen was extremely impressed.

If it were me, I would definitely think that the sooner the better, what if Ah Qin III repents, but after thinking about it carefully, the other party will definitely not be like this, after all, he still needs to borrow the power of Great Wei.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not agree to the teacher's resignation, so that I can learn more from the teacher.
