Because the several conditions they had previously formulated were all well thought out.
Thinking that if I could put pressure on Aqin III, the other party would definitely accept it.
But the other party will definitely be dissatisfied in his heart.
Of course, this doesn’t matter to the Great Wei. As long as they can gain benefits in the process, nothing else matters.
But now, after seeing His Majesty's decision, they didn't know what to say for a moment, because it was too harsh. If Aqin III did not accept it, things would become difficult.
"My Lords," Wang Jin smiled. "These are all decisions made by His Majesty. His Majesty said this is for the sake of the Great Wei and the people."
"Although the Tiandu Kingdom has a new monarch now, King Ali invaded our Great Wei not long ago."
"This kind of thing definitely can't be let go like this. We must settle the account that caused this."
"Also, His Majesty said that this is his decision and cannot be changed."
When Wei Yunyi said those words again.
Wang Jin was also there.
Therefore, I feel it is necessary to convey Your Majesty's intentions accurately.
He didn't care about state affairs, nor did he care how Aqin III would react after seeing these conditions, and of course he didn't care how harsh the conditions would be.
In Wang Jin's eyes, carrying out His Majesty's orders was the most important thing. Besides, he wondered, when had His Majesty ever made a wrong decision?
As subjects, they only need to carry out the orders.
"this..."
Upon hearing this, Song Gongwen couldn't help but frown.
Because in his heart, he really felt that there was something wrong with this condition.
But this is His Majesty's decision, and I certainly can't say much. What if His Majesty is planning something more important and it gets disrupted?
"Okay, Eunuch Wang, you go and report to His Majesty, we will definitely get this done." At this time, Zhang Zhengming suddenly spoke up, telling Wang Jin not to worry, he would definitely follow His Majesty's wishes.
"Yes, Master Taifu, thank you for your hard work." Wang Jin bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Teacher, will Aqin III accept this condition?"
After Wang Jin left.
Song Gongwen couldn't help but speak, feeling unsure about this.
"Since His Majesty has made the decision, even if Aqin III doesn't accept it now, we must find a way to make him accept it." Zhang Zhengming thought for a moment and continued, "As His Majesty said, what Tiandu did before violated the dignity of the Great Wei. If the Great Wei wants to truly dominate the Eastern Continent, it must be domineering in certain matters."
"Well, the banquet should be almost over. Let's follow His Majesty's instructions and talk to Aqin III."
After saying that, he left without paying attention to everyone's reactions.
After seeing this, Song Gongwen and several other cabinet ministers followed.
His Majesty has decided, and the Grand Tutor supports it, so naturally they must also take it as their goal once, otherwise why would they choose to oppose it? That would be too stupid.
at the same time.
In the banquet hall.
After Chen Xuance finished toasting, he saw Zhang Zhengming and the others had returned and immediately announced the temporary end of the banquet, telling everyone who was not involved to go and rest. Only Aqin III and several important officials of Tiandu remained.
"Your Majesty Tiandu, is the food in our Great Wei to your liking?" Zhang Zhengming asked with a smile as soon as he arrived.
"Not bad, not bad, it's worthy of being a Central Plains delicacy. I like it very much."
Aqin III looked very happy.
In fact, he certainly couldn't get used to the food of Wei, even though it tasted good.
But no matter what, I need help from others this time, so it is naturally impossible for me to care about such a small matter.
"That's good." Zhang Zhengming nodded, then pulled out a booklet from his sleeve and said, "Tiandu and my Great Wei are about to sign an alliance, but there are some things that must be discussed in advance. Your Majesty Tiandu, please take a look. Here are a few suggestions from my Great Wei."
Hearing this, Aqin III smiled, but did not take it. Instead, he asked Prime Minister Tiandu beside him to take a look first.
It was impossible for him to come alone to sign an alliance with Wei.
Prime Minister Tiandu, in the Great Wei, has a status similar to Zhang Zhengming, and is also the think tank brought by Aqin III.
The man took the booklet with a smile, then opened it. After a cursory glance, his smile immediately faded and his expression changed drastically: "This... Your Excellency the Grand Tutor of the Great Wei, Your Excellency the Father-in-law, these conditions, this... Your Majesty, please take a look."
Prime Minister Tiandu originally wanted to scold and refuse directly, but he did not dare to speak directly, so he asked his own emperor to come and see.
Aqin III also realized that something was wrong, but he remained calm on the surface and then took a look.
His expression was exactly the same as the Prime Minister's.
Because these conditions were too harsh. If it were just some trade priority and other things, it would be fine and he could accept them. The problem was that the Great Wei had set its sights on many iron mines and even gold mines in Tiandu.
They said both sides should jointly mine and split the profits 70%...
Tiandu III coughed and said, "Master Taifu of the Great Wei, I can accept any of these trades. After all, there are things in the Great Wei that Tiandu also needs. However, the iron and gold mines belong to Tiandu. It's fine if you don't send people to mine them yourself, but you also want us to give you 30% after we mine them. This makes it very difficult for me to do so."
These words made Song Gongwen feel nervous. When they were negotiating the conditions on the road, he felt that these conditions were not acceptable.
After all, instead of sending people to mine, we still ask the other party to take it out and hand it over to Wei. Isn't this equivalent to paying tribute?
