This is an indescribable world.
Gunpowder was prepared, but when ignited, it produced pixels.
Boiling water produces steam, yet it cannot even lift the pot lid.
Are the sun, moon,...
Therefore, if we want to eliminate the invading Qinghe Army, we must integrate the power of all Cambodians. In other words, we must get rid of Xin Yuetu!
His Majesty! "
As Yang Yizhen spoke, his emotions seemed to be rising. Perhaps, based on his years of acting experience, he knew he needed to stir up the fire with some high-class words to bring the speech to a climax. So, he knelt down with a thud, raised his hands high, and bowed down fiercely, saying loudly:
"Your Majesty, to conquer foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the country, and Cambodia needs time. I beg Your Majesty to give Cambodia some time. I will lead you and clear the country for you. We will certainly lead our troops north to avenge your majesty!"
Yang Yizhen shouted out the last sentence as loudly as possible with a firm expression and surging emotions.
I have to say that if we don’t consider what kind of person he is, then what he said cannot be said to be without reason.
However, the scene was full of smart people, and everyone just watched his performance quietly. The only one who wanted to respond to him was the crown prince. When he was about to kneel down, he found that no one moved. So he relied on his youth and good health to stop kneeling, and then straightened up as if nothing had happened.
It would be very embarrassing if the atmosphere became dull.
Yang Yizhen kowtowed again, then stretched his right hand behind his butt and waved it twice, which roughly meant that if you continue to be shy and refuse to join in, then I won't care anymore, do whatever you want.
The first person to respond to Yang Yizhen was actually his arch-enemy, Nguyen Shihao, the Minister of Revenue, who was known as the Khmer hero.
On the day that Qinghe launched a full-scale attack on Cambodia, Nguyen Shihao was directly imprisoned, and even he himself felt that he might not be able to survive this hurdle.
After all, everyone knows which side he is on, and keeping him around on a daily basis is purely for the "diplomatic needs" of "good neighborliness and friendship."
Now that good neighborliness is no longer friendly and diplomacy is no longer needed, it naturally has no value in existence.
However, the imperial edict to kill him as a sacrifice never came, and he was very puzzled at first. But he was released early this morning, and the eunuch who came to the death row to greet him not only brought him a brand new official uniform, but also helped him explain the current situation.
Then he understood that from the very beginning, the Cambodian side lacked confidence in the war, so they did not dare to really kill him.
And now, it was obvious that he was called to such a high-level and confidential court meeting.
So Ruan Shihao knew from the beginning that this group of people were acting. If it wasn't for peace talks, there would be no need for them to call him.
There is no reason in the world to discuss military and national affairs in front of an open spy.
So even though he wanted to see Yang Yizhen's joke again, he still had to focus on his work. So Ruan Shihao took a step to the side, knelt down immediately, and said, "Your Majesty, the Right Prime Minister's words make sense. I second your opinion."
He took the lead and was a great encouragement to the Cambodian side.
After all, the Cambodian court did not know what Nguyen Shihao's status in Qinghe was. However, Nguyen Shihao was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Cambodia, so his status in Qinghe should not be low. At least he could not still be in the probation period.
Then Ruan Shihao's "seconding the motion" may not only mean that he personally thinks peace talks are good, but also that Qinghe also has the willingness to negotiate.
That's easy.
Everyone knelt down and praised Yang Yizhen's plan in all directions, saying that even if the gods came down to earth, there would be no better plan.
As expected, ordinary people cannot become officials.
Xin Yueping remained silent on the throne, and without the usual "Everyone, please stand up" command, he asked calmly, "Then, which of you would be willing to go out of the city and talk to Lin Hai to find out what he wants in exchange for withdrawing his troops?"
That's a good question.
This is also a fatal problem.
First, everyone ruled out Ruan Shihao.
You can't send someone from Qinghe to negotiate with Qinghe, right? Wouldn't he help Lin Hai to conceal the truth and ask for an exorbitant price?
After all, we are all subjects of Cambodia, and the most basic loyalty is still required.
Otherwise, if Cambodia were to collapse, where would everyone go to get their money?
Then theoretically the best candidate is Yang Yizhen.
He has a high enough position and authority, so he can make decisions on many things on the spot without having to run back for instructions.
At the same time, he is the person who knows Qinghe best besides Ruan Shihao.
Of course, the most important thing is that he had just suffered a defeat and had to pay a price. Your Majesty was reluctant to kill him, so he let him go to negotiate. If he angered the said moody Lin Hai and was killed by someone, it would be just a deserved punishment and not a big deal.
However, Yang Yizhen's entire family was killed by people from Qinghe.
Although he has worked hard, Lord Yang now has a new family.
But others didn't know, but everyone at the scene knew very well that Yang Yizhen hated Qinghe to the core and was also a die-hard hardliner.
Although he was the one who proposed the peace talks today, perhaps he was the only one who really wanted to "reorganize the troops and then fight a decisive battle", while the others really wanted to just talk.
Therefore, if Yang Yizhen were allowed to negotiate, regardless of whether the talks went well or not, the grudge between him and Qinghe would probably cause complications.
Who else can go?
As the one who wanted the war to end the most, Wei Shuma looked around and a flash of inspiration occurred to him. He ignored his position, which was at most to be an observer at the meeting, and stepped out of the group and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most suitable person to be sent as an envoy to the Qinghe Camp!"
