A few days later, Su Zan led the Xiqu delegation to the Dagan Imperial City as quickly as possible.
This was Suzan's second diplomatic mission to the imperial city of Dagan.
However, his mood now was completely different from the first time he went on a diplomatic mission to the Dagan Imperial City.
Along the way, they passed through many places where there was a lot of activity.
Although Dagan experienced a huge turmoil, there was no chaos within Dagan.
The power of Da Gan was transferred smoothly, and Xiqu had no chance to take advantage of the situation.
Looking at the prosperous and bustling Dagan Imperial City, even Su Zan, who was determined, felt a little desperate.
He could understand Qinpu's despair and unwillingness too well.
Chinpu can be considered a man of great talent and strategy.
If Qinpu is given a few decades, Xiqu will surely become powerful under his governance.
...
...
Unfortunately, he had the misfortune to meet the genius Yun Zheng.
One Yun Zheng, suppresses a generation of heroes!
So far, except for Jia Yao, who has become Yun Zheng's concubine, no enemy of Yun Zheng has ever gained any advantage at his hands.
The key point is that this powerful emperor was not senile.
With great courage, he avoided internal strife in Dagan.
Faced with such a huge event, who wouldn't despair?
Moreover, he heard along the way that Dagan was going to move the capital!
Dagan’s new capital seemed to be in Juzhou.
Su Zan already knew the map of Da Gan by heart.
With just a little thought, you will know the purpose of Da Gan moving the capital to Juzhou.
This is to strengthen control over the north and surrounding areas!
Xiqu is naturally included in the surrounding areas!
Not to mention that Xiqu is not truly submitting now, even if Xiqu is truly submitting, Dagan will definitely want to completely annex Xiqu!
Just when Su Zan was worried, a horse galloped towards them suddenly.
Soon, the man stopped his horse in front of their team and said, "Your Majesty, please invite the Prime Minister of Xiqu to the tower for a chat. The rest of the Xiqu delegation, please go to the posthouse to rest first!"
City tower?
Su Zan subconsciously looked towards the tower of the inner city.
Is Yun Zheng waiting for me on the city wall?
Are you going to talk to me before I even lead the delegation to meet the Great Emperor?
I guess Yun Zheng is trying to persuade me to surrender?
Su Zan sighed softly and rode forward immediately: "I am Su Zan, please take me to see the prince!"
"Please follow me, Prime Minister!"
Having said that, the man led the way.
Su Zan's followers wanted to follow, but Su Zan raised his hand to stop them.
This is the imperial city of Dagan!
If Yun Zheng wanted his life, what difference would it make whether they followed him or not?
Under the man's guidance, Su Zan came to the city wall of the inner city.
At this moment, Yun Zheng was already waiting.
There are seats next to it.
There was also fine wine and delicious food on the table.
Su Zan straightened his clothes a little, stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite, Prime Minister."
Yun Zheng laughed, "Prime Minister, we meet again."
"Yes, we meet again."
Su Zan showed a bitter smile on his face, "I haven't seen you for two years, and Your Majesty is even more charming than before!"
Su Zan was not trying to flatter Yun Zheng.
Now, Yun Zheng has an indescribable sense of oppression, whether it is because of his high position or because of his age, and he looks more noble.
Even if others don't know his identity, just standing there, I'm afraid few people would dare to act rashly.
The royal family is no more than this!
"The Prime Minister has aged a lot."
Yun Zheng smiled and raised his hand to invite Su Zan to sit down.
Su Zan walked to the table and sat down, saying with a wry smile: "Time is merciless. I am already an old man at the end of my years, and I don't know how many years I have left to live."
"You're not interesting anymore."
Yun Zheng looked at Su Zan with a smile, "We haven't even had a glass of wine yet, and you're already talking about life and death. If someone doesn't know, they'd think I'm going to ask you to drink a glass of poisoned wine!"
Su Zan's face twitched slightly, and he smiled apologetically: "Your Highness, you are joking. I have no other intentions. I just speak out my feelings! Every time I see Your Highness, I feel that I am really old..."
As Su Zan spoke, he couldn't help sighing.
Isn't it old?
Too many heroes of their generation have been buried by time.
Today, the world belongs to young people like them.
This great struggle in the world is also a competition between them.
And Yun Zheng is undoubtedly a winner, and very likely the final winner.
In other words, the only winner!
"Alright, stop sighing. If you really accepted your age, you wouldn't appear in front of me."
Yun Zheng smiled calmly, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Su Zan, and said to himself: "If it were in the past, I would have made you drink a few glasses first and made you dizzy."
“…”
Su Zan laughed in silence, "The prince is really a... wonderful person."
Yes, it’s a wonderful person!
When they are insidious, they are more insidious than wolves.
When he is serious, he acts like a modest gentleman.
Be noble but not arrogant, be strong but not proud.
People like this are so difficult to deal with.
Yun Zheng picked up the wine glass and joked with a smile on his face: "Fortunately you didn't tell me that I am a birdman, otherwise, I would have thrown you off this tower."
"Bird...man?"
Su Zan was puzzled.
Yun Zheng explained: "People like my third brother and Lou Yi are birdmen."
As he spoke, Yun Zheng clinked glasses with Su Zan again.
Su Zan was stunned for a moment, then he drank the wine in the cup and asked with a smile: "Then in the prince's mind, is King Qinpu what you call... a birdman?"
"Not yet!"
Yun Zheng drank the wine in his glass and put it down, revealing a meaningful smile: "I also hope that he will not become a birdman in the future."
Su Zan picked up the wine glass and poured wine for Yun Zheng and himself, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.
Yun Zheng’s meaning is very clear!
Birdman, perhaps can be understood as an enemy!
He doesn't want Xiqu to become his enemy!
As he expected, Yun Zheng was trying to persuade Xiqu to surrender.
But Yun Zheng didn't know that both Qin Pu and he had thought about surrendering.
But they were unwilling to give in.
There have been countless dynasties throughout history.
Even facing powerful enemies, how many dynasties would be willing to collapse?
No matter how strong the enemy is, there are countless people who want to seek survival in desperate situations.
Su Zan sighed silently in his heart, then turned to ask Yun Zheng: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know the purpose of my mission this time?"
Yun Zheng smiled: "I guess you want to paralyze me and buy some time for Xiqu so that you can complete your arrangements as soon as possible."
So cunning!
Su Zan sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Hasn't your Highness ever thought that Xiqu might voluntarily offer its land and surrender?"
"I thought about it, but I didn't dare to hold out hope."
Yun Zheng said seriously: "If Qin Pu is a wise leader, I can probably guess some of his thoughts and understand his ideas."
"oh?"
Su Zan became interested, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Yun Zheng did not rush to speak, but picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
As he put down his wine glass, Yun Zheng slowly spoke: "If he is a wise leader, he probably doesn't want Xiqu to suffer a devastating blow. He may also want more people to survive."
"But he should also have his own ambitions and want to lead the Xiqu army to victory."
"So, he should be very unwilling!"
"If it were me, I would not be willing to accept this either..."
