...
"Eunuch Wang, are these His Majesty's exact words?"
At this moment, in Wenhua Hall, Song Gongwen was looking at the memorial that was sent back.
Then he recalled the message the other party had just conveyed, and for a moment he was confused about the situation.
Weren't the terms of the alliance already agreed upon? We had just reached an agreement with Aqin III, and he had just agreed, but why did His Majesty suddenly change his mind?
"Of course, we will convey your majesty's words to the father-in-law and the Grand Tutor without missing a word. Your majesty hopes that the two adults can act accordingly." Wang Jin, who was standing opposite, bowed slightly with a smile on his face.
This made Song Gongwen turn to look at Zhang Zhengming and said, "Teacher, the previous conditions were already very harsh. Now they are increasing them... Especially sending troops into Tiandu and allowing my Wei merchants to enter Tiandu, this..."
He really didn't know what to say, because this condition was a slap in the face of Aqin III.
Especially when both parties have already agreed on some terms.
His Majesty suddenly increased the stakes again...
"Eunuch Wang!"
Zhang Zhengming did not respond to Song Gongwen's words. Instead, he turned to look at Wang Jin and said, "I will report to Your Majesty on your behalf. I will definitely complete Your Majesty's instructions. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Master Taifu." Wang Jin bowed slightly and left Wenhua Hall.
He only needs to complete the tasks assigned to him by His Majesty.
As for the rest, naturally, I don’t care at all.
Even though he knew that he had great power now, he could not cross the line no matter what.
"Teacher, Aqin III will definitely not agree to these conditions. They are too harsh, especially sending troops into Tiandu. This... is too difficult." After Wang Jin left, Song Gongwen turned around and looked at his teacher. He felt that these conditions were definitely not acceptable.
"Of course I also know that once these things are raised, Aqin III will definitely have some thoughts, and Prime Minister Tiandu will definitely be furious."
"But you and I must not disobey His Majesty's order. As for whether the other party will agree to these conditions, it depends on your ability and mine."
Zhang Zhengming smiled at this and continued, "Actually, I know why Your Majesty did this. Your Majesty initially proposed those conditions to test Aqin III's reaction and understand his bottom line. Now that he has agreed, it means we can continue to increase the offer."
"Gong Wen, think about it. If Aqin III agrees to these conditions, how much benefit will it bring to our Great Wei? Not to mention the profits from the gold mines, just the fact that our Great Wei will send troops to Tiandu will have a huge impact."
"This means that no matter what happens in the future, our Great Wei will be able to take the initiative. Whatever Tiandu wants to do in the future will be within our sight."
He knew that once these conditions could be met, the benefits would not stop there, there would be many more.
Of course, now is not the time to discuss this, and Zhang Zhengming only hopes that the other party can understand this.
As for Song Gongwen, he didn't say much about it.
Indeed, he understood the benefits.
I am just worried that Aqin III will not agree, which will lead to the failure of this alliance.
But on second thought, he suddenly felt that even if the alliance failed, it would not be a big loss for Wei.
It's nothing more than returning the relationship between the two parties to what it was before.
Therefore, Song Gongwen finally nodded.
Zhang Zhengming knew that it might be difficult to get Aqin III to agree to this, but whether for His Majesty or for other reasons, he had to do it.
Perhaps, this peace talk between Dawei and Tiandu is the last major thing he will do in his life.
Ronin from Douluo
The two of them said nothing more and went to the banquet hall immediately.
Chen Xuance and several other cabinet ministers.
Entertaining Aqin III.
Talking about some trivial matters such as the customs and culture of the Wei Dynasty.
Without the Grand Tutor around, no one would turn the topic to the relationship between the two countries.
Even though Prime Minister Tiandu had this idea, all the Wei officials present just laughed it off and did not respond at all.
Soon, Zhang Zhengming returned with Song Gongwen. And Chen Xuance disappeared at this critical moment.
He was sent as an envoy to Tiandu, and Aqin hinted that he was also brought by Chen Xuance.
It is naturally not appropriate to be present at such a time.
Such an action.
This left Prime Minister Tiandu speechless. He felt that every one of these people in Wei was a shrewd person.
It is simply impossible for Tiandu to gain an advantage in this alliance.
"Master Taifu, Master Father-in-law."
Aqin III also noticed the two of them and walked forward, saying with a smile, "Has His Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei responded? Can we sign the alliance now?"
"Of course the treaty must be signed. However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei has made some minor revisions to it. How about letting an external minister tell His Majesty Tiandu and the Prime Minister first?" Zhang Zhengming said.
Although those conditions were proposed by Wei Yunyi before, in fact, Aqin III and the others did not know about them.
So now, Zhang Zhengming spoke up and said that it was His Majesty's approval and revised opinions.
The purpose is to make Aqin III believe that the signing of the alliance is not far away.
really.
After hearing this, the other party smiled and said, "Since it is the Emperor of Wei who proposed it, I must listen carefully."
The reason why Aqin III did this was that he felt that the four words "a small opinion" were no big deal.
