After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Wanyan Wushu and Master Tong looked at each other, then looked at the young emperor above and chuckled.

"Don't worry, we are definitely here to negotiate."

Boss Li Ge had a sullen face, and angrily cursed the Prince of Chengguo to his entire ancestors.

It was so hard to have a chance to negotiate with the Tartars on an equal footing, but after being manipulated by the Prince of Chengguo, Dazhou fell into a disadvantage again!

The Minister of Finance was silently calculating in his mind, how much money should be taken out of the treasury this time? Where should it be taken from?

The Minister of War's heart felt like it was frying in a frying pan. During the peace talks in previous years, the Tartars demanded both money and women.

The women who are sent here cannot just be common women. Some daughters of officials will also be selected and given the title of princesses!

The daughter of the Minister of War just turned fifteen this year, and the original plan was to send her to the palace.

The Minister of War prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the number of women sent would not increase!

Cui Sanlun looked at this group of people coldly, feeling extremely sad.

The Tartars clearly came to negotiate, but the court, from top to bottom, all agreed to negotiate according to previous practices. What's the difference between this and paying protection money?

The local thugs collect protection fees and also ensure that the small vendors are not harassed by other thugs.

This Tartar collected the protection fee, but he went back on his word!

Wanyan Wushu had been in Kyoto for some time, so he could naturally see the moral character of the civil and military officials.

If it weren't for Gu Nanxi, Wanyan Wushu was sure that under the leadership of his father, they would be able to conquer this rich land!

However, Gu Nanxi was like a mountain and a barrier, guarding this group of people firmly behind him!

Wanyan Wushu smiled, but didn't smile, and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am not the kind of person who goes back on my word and plays rogue. My request is very simple, as long as you promise me two things, we will not pursue this matter any further!"

Young Emperor: "What's the matter?"

"First, I want the life of the Duke of Chengguo to be exchanged for his life!"

The cultural relics officials breathed a sigh of relief.

This request is not excessive. If the laws of the Great Zhou were strictly enforced, the Prince of Chengguo would be sentenced to exile.

The Minister of Revenue asked, "What is the second thing?"

Wanyan Wushu put away the smile on his face, and a deep, magnetic voice sounded, containing an imperceptible cold breath. His narrowed eyes revealed a hint of danger, and there was a turbulent sea in his eyes.

He spoke word by word: "I want Yunzhou's boundary marker to move 501 miles south!"

Why is it five hundred and one miles?

Because the last time Gu Nanxi used a trick to integrate many large grassland tribes, he moved the Yunzhou boundary marker five hundred miles to the north.

Wanyan Wushu will take advantage of this incident to get those five hundred miles back!

The remaining mile is an insult to Gu Nanxi!

He wanted to use this incident to tell the people of the entire grassland, what is the Yunzhou boundary monument?! It's just a piece of stone!

After hearing Wanyan Wushu's second condition, all the civil and military officials looked up in disbelief.

That’s it?!

The Minister of War almost laughed out loud. The Yunzhou boundary marker had nothing to do with him, so he could put it wherever he wanted.

The Minister of Revenue also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wanyan Wushu did not ask for too much. This year, the government was planning to build a rockery and wanted to use the Taishi stone from West Lake, which would cost money!

There was a whisper in the hall.

Why are you still hesitating about this little condition? Hurry up and agree to it.

But the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne did not speak for a long time, and the hall gradually became quiet.

The civil and military officials then remembered that Yunzhou was Gu Nanxi's territory!

In the beginning, Gu Nanxi had lured the enemy with his own body and made all kinds of calculations for the sake of these five hundred miles. In the end, he angered the emperor because of this matter and was named Marquis of Loyalty.

Would she willingly give up these five hundred miles?

If the emperor agrees, but Gu Nanxi doesn't do it...

"Despicable villain!" Cui Sanlun blew his beard and glared!

Is this damn Wanyan Wushu trying to sow discord? !

……

Soon, the two conditions proposed by Wanyan Wushu spread in the capital.

Countless fast horses carried this news to all corners of the Great Zhou.

Su Yunyan got angry when she heard the news in the study: "I should have killed Wanyan Wushu directly at the beginning!"

Li Yixuan knocked on the door and came in, saying, "This bastard, when it comes to conspiracy, he has one scheme after another, he doesn't look like a Tartar at all!"

He patted his chest and said, "Ah, I'm so angry that my chest hurts! If my godmother did what I said, she would feel so upset!"

"It will also affect my mother's layout in Yunzhou. Yunzhou's prestige was earned through real swords and guns. If we retreat like this, all the blood shed before will become a joke!"

Su Xuanming frowned tightly. If he were A'niang, how would he break this situation?

If they insist on not retreating, then the blame for the failure of the peace talks will be placed entirely on A Niang, and if they disobey the order, wouldn't that be tantamount to open rebellion? !

Wanyan Wushu's move was a bit cruel. He was simply stepping on A Niang's face and attacking her madly.

Many people in Kyoto can also see these points.

"You're pushing your luck! It was not easy for General Gu Nanxi to take these five hundred miles! And Wanyan Wushu wants to take them back with just a few words!"

"Your Majesty, what are you still hesitating about? The Tartars are going too far, and it's clear that they don't want to negotiate sincerely! We must reject them and teach them a lesson!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire teahouse fell silent.

The person who spoke looked around in confusion and said, "Why aren't you talking? Aren't you the ones who usually shout the loudest?"

"Ah, this. How can you take what they say seriously? Besides, fighting a war is not an easy thing. Not only do you have to spend money, you also have to risk your life!"

"Yes, last time the emperor said he would lead the army himself, I was on the list. My mother almost cried herself blind!"

"That's right. If we really want to start a full-scale war, with our weak bodies, even ten of us combined wouldn't be enough for the Tartar to kill alone!"

"For the sake of the dawn of the world, it's okay for the general to suffer a little..."

It sounds a bit heartless to say this. Don't they know how much General Gu Nanxi has paid and how much he has endured?

They knew how hard life was at the border and how cruel the war was.

It is precisely because they know it too well that they don’t want to go to the battlefield themselves!

The people living in the border areas have long been accustomed to that kind of life, but others have not!

Why should we let others suffer at the border just for a little dignity?

In the private room on the second floor of Fuquan Teahouse, many officials who had just returned from court took off their official robes and gathered here.

Seeing this scene, some people sneered: "It is said that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, but the people's hearts change too quickly."

"Gu Nanxi is a woman after all, she is too emotional."

"Shang Jun once said that there are five ways to control the people: to make them stupid, weak, tired, humiliated and impoverished! Gu Nanxi didn't believe it and insisted on enlightening the people and keeping the wealth for them. Didn't he get slapped in the face by reality?"

"If I were her, I really wouldn't know how to break the situation."
