After glancing at the ministers and the aloof Qi Gaozong, Zan Mo said proudly: "Edict from the Emperor of Jin! If we want to negotiate peace, the Qi people must meet the following conditions!"

Qi Gaozong smiled kindly: "It doesn't matter what Jin said. This is all for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the two countries to never have war again. I am a benevolent king. I should try my best to fulfill the few conditions."

Zan Mo looked at the monarchs and ministers in the court with cold eyes. For him, the smoky atmosphere here made him feel uncomfortable.

Even for the Jin people, they looked down on sycophants like Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi. Even though these people could bring them many benefits that they could not get on the battlefield, looking down on them was still looking down on.

Otherwise, these golden envoys would not have scolded these core figures in the Qi Dynasty's court in front of all the civil and military officials.

"You better not use the word "I" in the future. Because the first rule is that Qi will submit to the Jin Dynasty and will always be the southern barrier of the Jin Dynasty!"

Qi Gaozong's face stiffened slightly. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to declare himself a minister.

But after all, he had made psychological expectations before, so although the situation was a bit embarrassing at this time, he still laughed twice: "I am willing to serve as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and will always be our barrier to the Jin Dynasty, guarding the south of the Yangtze River.

Secure your borders!”

Zan Mo had long expected that the Emperor of Qi Dynasty was a soft persimmon, but he never expected that he could say these words so shamelessly in the court, and could not help but deepen his contempt for him.

"Okay, the second clause is also simple. The Qi Dynasty pays me a large amount of annual coins, 250,000 taels of silver, and 250,000 pieces of silk."

Regarding this, Qi Gaozong was much more comfortable agreeing to it.

"It's natural."

He didn't say much, but everyone present knew what he was thinking.

Isn’t it just Sui coins?

It's not like I haven't given it before.

Even Xixia gave them old coins in the past, so what's the big deal now if they give some to the Jin Kingdom? It's nothing more than "temporarily burdening our people for ten years". Anyway, they are just exploiting the people. Maybe when the border trade is opened, the Qi Dynasty will

The court could also get some money back from trade.

Although upon closer inspection, the Qi Dynasty could have made money from border trade without giving them any coins, but it didn't matter. For Qi Gaozong, it was enough to have a spiritual victory method. The risk of victory with real money and silver was too great for his small body to bear.

Sorry.

Zan Mo regretted it a little and even felt that the money would be less.

However, it was too late to change my words at this time, so I had to continue.

"The third article is to cede the land. Qi Jin will use the Huaihe River and Dashan Pass as boundaries. The south will return to the south, and the north will return to the north. All northerners who have fled to the south will be sent back, and they are not allowed to take them in without permission!"

Qi Yingzong's face turned ugly again: "This...

"Jin Envoy, I...oh no, I am also from the north. If I return from the south to the south or from the north to the north, will I return safely?

"What's more, if the northerners fled south voluntarily, if they were to arrest and deport them one by one, this would not only be a bit unkind, not to mention it would also consume a lot of manpower and material resources..."

Zan Mo snorted coldly: "It turns out that your Qi Dynasty has no sincerity in negotiating peace!

"How about I return right now, let my army go south again, and send you to Five Kingdoms City to reunite with your father and brother?"

Qi Yingzong's expression suddenly changed: "What the Jin envoy said is wrong! Isn't it just to repatriate the northerners who fled to the south? Our government will do our best."

Zan Mo couldn't help but sneer, the Emperor of Qi Chao was really a soft persimmon.

No matter what you say, I will accept it completely.

For Zan Mo, his role as the Golden Envoy was too satisfying.

If you go to serve as an envoy to another place, it often takes a long time to reach an agreement. What is even more frightening is that some arrogant grassland tribes may chop or cook the envoy when they are angry. It is a high-risk occupation.

But coming to the Qi Dynasty to be an envoy was a very lucrative job.

From the emperor to the officials of the Qi Dynasty, they could not wait to kneel down to greet him. The standards in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation could directly match the emperor. Moreover, the Qi Dynasty did not even say that he killed the envoys, and even was scolded by the Jin envoys in the court.

Dare to talk back.

There was no need to bargain for all the conditions put forward by the Jin envoy. The Qi Dynasty accepted everything as ordered.

Is there any better job in the world than this?

Seeing that the Qi Dynasty accepted the three peace talks of ceding territory, becoming vassal, and paying tribute, Zan Mo made his final request.

"There is another condition, which I, the Emperor of Jin, have personally agreed with you Bojilie. If this condition cannot be met, then even if you all agree to the first three conditions, the peace negotiation will not be concluded!"

Qi Gaozong felt that the peace negotiation was just a step away, so he hurriedly asked: "Jin Envoy, please speak!"

Zan Mo squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Han Fuyue, must die!"

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Qi Gaozong laughed twice: "Ahem, envoy Jin, it's better not to talk about this kind of thing in the court... I still need to discuss this matter with Prime Minister Qin, and I can give envoy Jin an answer soon."

In fact, before the Jin envoy arrived, Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi had already discussed this matter, and had already thrown General Han Fuyue into prison.

It's just that this kind of thing cannot be said openly in the court, otherwise where will the emperor Qi Gaozong's face be?

That's why Qi Gaozong reluctantly said that he wanted to discuss it some more.

But in fact, Qin Huizhi knew that Han Fuyue was going to die sooner or later, and although Qi Gaozong was still wavering, he had probably acquiesced.

But I didn't expect that the Jin envoy Zanmo would not give Qi Gaozong any face: "I have already said that this condition was personally agreed upon by our Emperor Jin and Bo Jilie. If you Qi Dynasty does not agree to this condition, other

There is no need to discuss the matter!

"Farewell!"

After Zanmo said that, he turned around and left.

He obviously understands Qi Gaozong's virtue very well, and knows that the tougher his attitude is, the weaker Qi Gaozong will be. And this is exactly his mission as the Jin envoy: to use extreme pressure to get Qi Gaozong to agree to something beneficial to the Jin people as soon as possible.

Peace negotiation.

In fact, for the Jin people, they were also anxious to sign the peace agreement.

Because there is already chaos in the rear, Wan Yansheng is quelling the chaos in the rear, and it is impossible for the Jin people to mobilize a large army to invade the south. On the contrary, if the Qi Dynasty changes its mind and General Han Fuyue returns, then things will be a little bit complicated.

Tricky.

Therefore, the Jin people hoped to take advantage of these achievements as soon as possible, not only to obtain the legal principles of the land north of the Huaihe River, but also to finalize the matters of yearly coins and vassalage.

But compared to the weak Qi Gaozong and the traitorous Qin Huizhi, the Jin people obviously knew the secret of negotiation better.

Seeing that Zan Mo was about to leave, Qi Gaozong was really panicked.

"Your Majesty, please wait!

"Prime Minister Qin, what happened to Han Fuyue? Please tell me quickly. I wonder if there will be a result before next month to give an explanation to the world?"

At this time, Chu Ge, who played Qin Huizhi, was heartbroken.

This dog emperor didn't dare to come forward personally at this time, but let Qin Huizhi take the blame.

Okay, now that the topic has come to this...

It's time for the players to show up.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge stood up and said: "Return to the official's house. It doesn't take next month. The matter of General Han Fuyue has been finalized."

Qi Gaozong raised his eyebrows, obviously a little pleased: "Oh? The case has been finalized? What is the crime?"

Chu Ge was calm and said calmly: "General Han Fuyue is loyal, full of enthusiasm, behaves upright, and has outstanding military exploits. He is not guilty, so he is acquitted."

As soon as he said this, Zan Mo almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

What's the situation? Shouldn't Qin Huizhi be with him?

He looked at Qin Huizhi, then at Qi Gaozong, and asked sharply: "What does this mean?"

Qi Gaozong was also a little confused and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please be patient and wait for me to ask.

"Prime Minister Qin, what do you mean? Didn't you say that Han Fuyue conspired to rebel?"

Chu Ge smiled slightly: "I also misunderstood the villain's slander. Now after a thorough investigation, I have found that General Han Fuyue is loyal and has no intention of turning back. Therefore, it is not too late to make up for the situation."

The corners of Qi Gaozong's mouth twitched slightly, and he was obviously on the verge of going crazy.

Qin Huizhi, why are you acting like me?

It was he who said General Han Fuyue was treasonous, and it was he who vowed to kill Han Fuyue to negotiate peace with the Jin people. Although Qi Gaozong was the one who made the final decision, Qin Huizhi's instigation was indeed indispensable.

As a result, the instigator suddenly jumped out and plucked himself clean?

Qi Gaozong originally wanted to ask Qin Huizhi to take the blame and handle this matter in a down-to-earth manner, but he didn't expect Qin Huizhi to suddenly slip up and put the blame on himself again?

That’s not true!

Although Qi Gaozong was weak, he was weak towards the Jin people. As an emperor, he was still very temperamental towards these officials of the Qi Dynasty, including Qin Huizhi, who had not yet received the "cannot serve as prime minister without guilt".

"Qin Huizhi, what do you mean? You first said that Han Fuyue must be killed, and then you said you couldn't kill him... Why on earth couldn't you kill him!"

Facing the emperor's thunderous wrath, Qin Huizhi showed no fear at this time, but rather wanted to laugh.

"I reported it back to the officials, but General Han couldn't kill him because...someone didn't agree."

Qi Gaozong's face turned grim: "Who disagrees?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone among the ministers say loudly: "Your Majesty Li Ruopu, I guarantee with my life that General Han Fuyue is not guilty!"

Immediately afterwards, more voices responded in unison.

"Your Majesty, Li Guang, pleads grievances for General Han Fuyue!"

"Your Majesty He You, I sincerely request the officials to reinstate General Han Fuyue to his post and continue to mobilize troops for the Northern Expedition!"
To be continued...
