The second prince of Goryeo was still frightened after watching this. The Pixiu had a really bad temper.
"So the Pixiu doesn't like you. You lose. This time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince won't deny his debt, right?"
Gao Zhijun looked at the miserable Goryeo Kingdom with great contempt.
The second prince of Goryeo felt extremely embarrassed. His guards were so useless that they were almost beaten to death by the Pixiu. It was so humiliating.
Everyone in the hall looked at the second prince of Goryeo to see if he would default on his debt again.
With so many eyes watching him, it would be embarrassing to deny his debt. After all, he was also afraid of being ridiculed by the mainlanders. If that were the case, the emperor would have killed him.
"I am not that kind of person at all. I will accept the loss. When I return, I will tell my father and hand over the power to you as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Second Prince of Goryeo."
Seeing that the other party was quite acceptable, Gao Zhijun didn't dare to default on the debt anymore.
"Now all that's left is for the Tatar Crown Prince, the Second Prince Boluodian, and the Third Prince of the Western Regions to make corresponding promises. Now, please kneel down and call me Princess Aunt!"
The second prince of Goryeo kept his promise, and then it was the turn of the princes of the other three countries to call her aunt.
"Princess Daliang, let's forget about this. I will compensate you with an extra 100 taels of gold."
"Yes, Princess Daliang. I will give you one hundred taels, no, two hundred taels of gold, as compensation, and I will not scream."
"Princess Daliang, if two hundred taels of gold is not enough, I will give you three hundred taels, and you will forgive me."
The Crown Prince of Tatar, along with the Second Prince Bolodian and the Third Prince of the Western Regions, pleaded with Gao Zhijun, hoping that she would let them go and not call them "auntie".
You have to know that they are all princes and represent the face of the royal family. Asking them to recognize a princess younger than them as "aunt" is not a slap in the face of the royal family.
"I'm sorry, but this princess has plenty of silver. I don't even look down on your little gold. Just call me Auntie."
If you want to use silver to exchange for the name of "aunt", who are you insulting? She has plenty of silver, so she doesn't need it.
"Call me auntie! Call me auntie!"
Murong Yuanbo led the others in stirring up trouble. He simply wanted them to call his daughter "Auntie," which would make him his great-grandfather. Wouldn't that make their father, the Emperor, his son in disguise? Just thinking about it made him happy. It must have been a great honor to have the ruler of one of the Three Kingdoms countries call him grandfather.
The Second Prince of Polodian, the Tatar Crown Prince, and the Third Prince of the Western Regions were so enraged that they could only hold back their scalps and shout, "Auntie!"
"Hey, my dear grandson!"
Gao Zhijun responded very readily!
A burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.
The three princes' faces turned red and they wished they could find a hole to crawl into. It was so embarrassing.
They glared at Gao Zhijun fiercely and ran away in shame.
"Hey, dear grandson, don't go! The party hasn't started yet. Why are you running so fast?"
"My dear grandson, remember, there is still some gold that I haven't given you yet. It must be delivered to the princess's residence by tomorrow at the latest. Otherwise, I will punish you on behalf of your father."
Gao Zhijun was calling out from behind, and the four princes wished they could fly so that they wouldn't have to hear the words "good grandson" and "auntie", let alone the laughter from behind.
After they left, all that remained in the hall were officials from Daliang and their families.
"Today, Princess Xiangyun won eight cities for Daliang, expanding its territory. I am very pleased and have decided to reward the princess. Of the eight cities, the two cities in Goryeo will be given to the princess. Also, the Pixiu was tamed by the princess. I will keep my word and give the Pixiu to Princess Xiangyun."
"Your Majesty, you must not give the city to the princess. It belongs to Daliang. If you give the city to the princess, what if she rebels?"
"Your Majesty, even if the princess won, you can't give it to her. She is a princess from another family, and she is a minister. It is her duty to win the city for Daliang."
"Your Majesty, please reconsider and do not give the city to the princess."
Those ministers became active again and advised the emperor not to award the two cities of Goryeo to Gao Zhijun.
Gao Zhijun couldn't help rolling her eyes. She just couldn't understand where the book they were reading was going.
With their intelligence, how could they sit in such a high position? They didn't buy it, did they?
When they are needed, they are all like dumb people. When they are not needed, they all come out and are the most active, like the resurrected indestructible cockroaches.
They are just a bunch of fence-sitters, they will side with whichever side offers profit.
It is worrying that there are such termites in the beams.
"Shut up! You talk so grandly, why don't you win a few cities for me? I'll give you even one, not to mention a few. You're just short-sighted and can't stand seeing others do better. The princess won eight cities without a single soldier. Such cleverness is unprecedented and will never be repeated."
"Just now you were the ones who were talking so much, saying that the princess had ulterior motives and wanted to harm Daliang, and that she was a spy sent by another country. I think you are the spies, and you can't stand seeing Daliang prosper. You actually wanted to prevent Daliang from winning the city, and you also wanted to sow discord between me and the princess. You deserve to be killed. Since you are old and can't distinguish right from wrong, why don't you resign and go home to grow sweet potatoes."
The emperor was really pissed off by those conservative, old-fashioned and useless ministers.
Why didn't he realize that there were such ministers before? They had no talent themselves, so they were jealous of others' intelligence and didn't want others to have a good life.
