After rebirth, I became a national teacher

I hope they can work with the court to deal with the Du'e Army.

To this end, the imperial court was willing to recognize the land they occupied and allow them to establish an independent country.

Especially the King of Shu, he had high hopes for him.

No matter what, both of them are of the same bloodline of the Wei royal family, and they cannot let outsiders take advantage of the situation.

However, the rebels in Qin Province scoffed at the God of Du'e, thinking that this was a trick of Emperor Yong'an to use the power of others to defeat them, and ignored it completely.

They also thought that if Emperor Yong'an was in trouble, they could take advantage of the situation to rob him.

The King of Shu agreed to talk, but he made an exorbitant request, demanding that Emperor Yong'an withdraw his troops from Gui and E provinces.

This is equivalent to asking Wei to cede all the territories of the two provinces to him.

E Province is the last granary of the Wei Dynasty. Emperor Yong'an would never be willing to cede it, and the negotiations between the two sides immediately came to a deadlock.

In addition to this, Emperor Yong'an did one more thing, which was to have someone send a threatening letter to the God of Du'e.

Chen Qingzhu received this letter before the Chinese New Year.

"God, the cabinet sent someone to deliver a message that an envoy from Wei insisted on seeing you in person. He said he brought an important letter that can only be opened by you in person. If you don't read it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Outside the quiet room, a maid from the Huangji Palace delivered a message.

This aroused some curiosity in Chen Qingzhu, who was busy practicing.

She wanted to see what kind of letter could be so important.

"Bring people in."

The visitor was a eunuch from the Wei imperial palace. He was still very afraid of the God Du'e, so he knelt down and kowtowed obediently before handing over the letter.

Chen Qingzhu had the letter presented to him. He unfolded it and quickly scanned the contents. Then he snorted and cast a small fireball to burn the letter in front of the eunuch who delivered the letter.

"God?"

The eunuch looked at her in doubt and then quickly lowered his head.

Chen Qingzhu was still sitting on the gilded dragon throne, his expression showing no worry, anxiety or fluctuation, but rather a look of contempt that looked down upon the world:

"Go back and tell your emperor that I will not accept coercion from anyone."

Emperor Yong'an wrote in the letter that her only son Pei Xuan was in his hands. If she wanted her son to return to her safely, she must return all the territories south of Nandu to the Wei Dynasty.

Chen Qingzhu just found this ridiculous.

What on earth gave Emperor Yong'an the illusion that Pei Xuan was very important to her, even so important that he could be exchanged for half of his kingdom?

What's more, someone had already reported Pei Xuan's situation in Beijing to her.

Because he was suddenly valued by Emperor Yong'an, he was quite proud and satisfied and didn't want to leave.

If that was the case, why would she waste manpower to bring him back to Nandu?

With his personality, if he doesn't learn a lesson, he'll think the world revolves around him.

As for his safety, she believed that Emperor Yong'an only had this bargaining chip in his hand and would not dare to easily hurt Pei Xuan to anger her.

If there is really something good or bad, we can only say that it is fate.

The eunuch sent to Nando by Emperor Yong'an returned before the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

Upon learning of Chen Qingzhu's reply, Emperor Yong'an's already gloomy expression became even gloomier.

The conditions he proposed originally meant to ask for an exorbitant price and then pay a low price.

Moreover, he felt that he had already given a lot of face to the evil demon Du'e. Even when he made the initial offer, he left her many territories south of Nandu.

However, he didn't expect that the evil demon Du'e would not even offer a bargain, but simply refused to negotiate so arrogantly.

In this case, if he doesn't make Chen Qingzhu pay the price, he really has no imperial dignity at all!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong'an gritted his teeth and said:

"Someone, cut off one of Pei Xuan's hands and give it to that evil demon Du'e!"

His methods were too gentle before.

He just didn't believe that a woman like Du'e Xiemo could really not feel sorry for her son.

Wang Zhong, who was standing by, heard this and quickly advised:

"Your Majesty, you must not do that! Second Master Pei is devoted to your Majesty and is quite talented. There is no need to let him lose interest in you so early!"
