How could those envoys not be in a hurry?

They came to the court this time just to ask for money and food. They wanted people just by the way and deliberately humiliated the court.

Since last year, they have encountered unprecedented natural disasters. There was drought in the summer and heavy snowfall in the winter. As a result, they were almost unable to survive, so they invaded the border regardless of the consequences, just to force the imperial court to surrender as soon as possible and let them Can get enough money and food to solve their survival problem.

But now, their second prince has to give up all this money and food for a woman, which they cannot accept under any circumstances.

"Your Highness, this matter is not a trivial matter, and is not something to be trifled with. Please think twice, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, this is not allowed."

Others also looked at Tuoba Xuan with burning eyes, full of disapproval.

Tuoba Xuan squinted his eyes and his face was dark.

Zhou Chen glanced at the atmosphere, stood up after a moment of silence, and said slowly: "It seems that His Highness the Prince and your lords do not have the same opinions. I am afraid it is not suitable to continue talking today. When the Prince and all of you After the adults’ opinions are unified, let’s continue the discussion.”

After saying that, Zhou Chen turned around and walked out.

As soon as Zhou Chen left, the room exploded with accusations against Tuoba Xuan.

"Your Highness, don't you know what our country is like now? How can you put the lives of thousands of people at risk for a woman?"

"Before coming to the capital, Wang Qian told us to bring back money and food, but how can you give it up so easily now?"

"Just for a mere woman? Your Highness, you are confused!"

Tuoba Xuan's face became increasingly ugly as he listened to their accusations. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and slapped his hand on the table.

With a bang, the room instantly became quiet.

Tuoba Xuan looked at everyone with a cold face and said through gritted teeth: "Do you really think that the imperial court will give us money and food as agreed? You are so naive! This peace talk is a big show from beginning to end. It is for the purpose of stabilizing stability. Our drama. That tyrant doesn’t want peace, he just wants to go to war with us. Why don’t you understand?”

Tuoba Xuan reached out and grabbed the peace treaty, slapped the terms on it, and said sternly: "Even if I give up the marriage and don't want anyone else, the conditions you are talking about now will not be fulfilled!"

The other envoys turned pale at Tuoba Xuan's roar and stood there in shock, unable to speak for a while.

The only sound left in the room was Tuoba Xuan's heavy breathing.

After a while, someone said cautiously: "Your Highness, you have mentioned this issue before, and we have also thought about it seriously... We feel that you are worrying too much, Your Highness. Now, His Majesty's style is indeed better than that of the previous emperor." Tough, but he can't just fight a war if he wants to. After a war, the consumption of money is huge. His ministers have been comfortable for too long, and it is impossible to let him take such a big risk to start a war. of."

"Yes, once the war starts, the wealth accumulated by the imperial court over the years may be destroyed. How could those ministers who have long been accustomed to a comfortable life allow the emperor to do this?"

"So, even if he is reluctant, the peace talks must continue. Your Highness, it is your first time to come to the capital and you don't know much about things here. It is normal for you to make mistakes in judgment."
