Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 466
[Chapter 466 Measure]
“The emperor is at Qinguan, I need to report these conditions to him.”
Dou Wei glanced at the imperial soldiers behind him from the corner of his eye.
Despite his high spirits, these soldiers stared, and he couldn’t show it.
Tie Muta nodded, “Say to Emperor Dasong, Beidi didn’t lose this peace negotiation, but the great Khan didn’t want to see the two countries fight again, and his life was ruined.
” Even in all the battles, we did not lose.” Dou Wei said.
Naturally, he didn’t say this to Tiemu Pagoda, but to Zhao Heng, King Yan, the ministers of the court, and even the common people of Dasong.
They forced Beidi to negotiate a peace, but they wanted to sign such a contract as if they were defeated.
The news spread that he, Dou Wei, was going to be scolded by someone pointing his spine.
Be moderately aggressive, at least it will make him less harsh.
Tie Muta had a sneer on his face.
He didn’t think that Beidi had lost this time, they were indeed frustrated in the east.
But West, they won.
If it wasn’t for King Yan’s tricks to rescue Emperor Dasong.
They will definitely let Da Song perish under Beidi’s iron cavalry.
The only reason for the peace talks was that King Yan had thoroughly annoyed them.
If the king of Yan is not eliminated, it will be difficult to destroy Dasong.
Therefore, in addition to negotiating peace with the Dasong court, alleviating the situation from Xiliang to Jinzhou, freeing up hands to focus on dealing with King Yan.
His father Khan also decided to take advantage of the conflict between the powerful family and the royal family and take the opportunity to support the powerful family.
Let the powerful families in Dasong be able to suppress the royal family, and make King Yan uncomfortable in Dasong.
Of course, it would be even better if there is a power among these powerful families that secretly joins them like the Yuan family.
But he also knew that it was difficult.
The Dasong family is different from Yuan Li. For the Dasong family, it started from the establishment of the country.
This world is ruled by the powerful clan and the royal family.
Dasong’s country also has their part.
Although there are endless internal disputes, they will not let Beidi take over the Central Plains until the end of the mountain.
After all, any of them has the hope of replacing the Zhao royal family and aspiring to become the king of the world.
But the small chance does not mean that there is no chance at all.
Beidi will keep trying.
Thinking of this, facing Dou Wei’s scolding, he decided to give Dou Wei only face, so he chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Dou Wei showed a faint smile, and took the opportunity to refute several contents of the contract.
Tiemu Tower is either silent, or quarreling with Dou Wei.
Half an hour later, Dou Wei turned around and walked towards Qin Guan after the stalemate.
Ascending to the city wall, he presented the parchment to Zhao Heng, “Your Majesty, this is the whole body condition proposed by Beidi.”
Zhao Heng unfolded the parchment, glanced slightly and his face changed, “They Beicheng first came to us to discuss peace. , Why are you still so arrogant!”
“I scolded them that way too. This time, there were winners and losers in this battle, so why did Da Song pay him five million taels of silver yearly tribute to Beidi, and the truce did not include Yanzhou ?” The first line is simply hateful.” Dou Wei was filled with indignation.
Zhao Heng asked him to meet Tiemuta, no doubt wanting him to bear the infamy.
But Zhao Heng would never have thought that his Dou family had private contacts with Tiemu Tower.
This time the peace talks were quite cooperative for him, and he gave him a sharp reprimand.
Now, it is only Zhao Heng himself who decides whether to accept the peace agreement.
Thinking of something, he added, “Tiemuta said that the five hundred and two-year-old tribute was promised by the emperor when he was in Xiancheng.”
Zhao Heng’s old face was slightly red. At that time, Xiancheng was besieged, and he had no choice but to compromise with Beidi.
Now that Tiemuta brought this matter up, he couldn’t help but feel guilty for a while.
“It’s not impossible for Beidi to ask for annual tribute, but five million taels is too much, you tell him, only one million taels.” Zhao Heng snorted.
When he was in Yancheng, Bei Di included the annual tribute among the conditions proposed.
He also accepted it from the bottom of his heart, but he felt distressed when he really took out so much money, so he wanted to bargain.
“As for Qinzhou and Yongzhou, I will cede them to them, but if they cause trouble in the northwest, I will not recognize this condition again.”
Ma Han was also on the city wall, and he was furious when he heard this, “Your Majesty, Qinzhou and Yongzhou are mine. Great praise for the territory, how can you cede it just by ceding it.”
“Hmph, the appearance of Qinzhou and Yongzhou is not a good thing that your Ma family has done. Are you wiping your Ma family’s ass now, or are you saying that your Ma family has the ability to take back these two places ?” State.” Zhao Heng snorted angrily.
In his heart, he has always kept the account of losing Qinzhou and Yongzhou on Ma’s head.
After the Ma Jin Rebellion, the Ma family declined completely, and he was no longer afraid of the Ma family.
He would not pay any attention to Mahan’s opinion on the cession.
Mahan was at a loss for words, and he couldn’t refute Zhao Heng’s accusation.
I was so angry that I could only swallow hard.
But looking at Zhao Heng and Dou Wei, he couldn’t help but feel a little more disdain in his eyes.
“It’s no problem for the two countries to send princesses to marry each other. When I return to the capital, I will choose another princess.” Zhao Heng said.
For marriage, he would naturally not choose his own daughter, as it has been the case throughout the ages.
But a daughter of the clan is still necessary, otherwise it is tantamount to humiliating the other party.
“A truce is a truce, why stay in Yanzhou alone?” Bei Di raised many conditions.
But the result of the peace talks was a truce in some places, which made him very dissatisfied.
“What Beidi Khan means is that he has a personal enmity with the King of Yan now. This is not aimed at Dasong, but just like the folk gangs fighting fiercely. Even if they make peace, some gangs will fight because of personal enmity.” Dou Wei was giving Find a suitable reason for Beidi’s proposed condition.
Among Beidi’s many conditions, apart from the border market, this one excited him the most.
In this Northern Expedition, King Yan once again made great efforts to turn the tide, which will inevitably increase his reputation in Dasong.
The damage to the royal prestige caused by Zhao Heng’s failure in the Northern Expedition will be made up for by King Yan’s illustrious military exploits.
And that’s something he absolutely didn’t want to see.
Therefore, even if Beidi doesn’t make a move, after the peace negotiation, whether it is to pave the way for the third prince to ascend the throne in the future, or for the benefit of the powerful family, he will unite with several other families to further suppress King Yan.
Beidi made a move just as he wanted.
The two consume each other, which is in his best interest.
“It makes sense, but if King Yan loses to Beidi, wouldn’t Yanguan be in danger?” Zhao Heng frowned, thinking of King Yan’s reminder to him, he hesitated even more.
After thinking for a while, he said, “I don’t agree to this matter for now.”
Dou Wei didn’t continue to persuade him, he knew that any further persuasion would arouse Zhao Heng’s suspicion.
“The other one is the border market. Beidi requested to open a border market outside Wuguan.” Dou Wei looked at Zhao Heng’s expression.
“This is also a trivial matter. I can promise that you will fight against the Iron Tower again, Ma Han. You will also go this time.” Zhao Heng waved his hand.
Regarding Beidi’s peace negotiation conditions, he mainly disagrees with the number of annual tribute and the truce.
Dou Weiyi reconciled to the Lord, in his opinion, maybe not tough enough, so this time let Ma Han go too.
The two responded, turned around and went down the city wall.
Immediately, he heard the faint sound of arguing.
Not long after, Dou Weiwei looked depressed, and Ma Han came back angrily.
“Your Highness, the Tiemu Pagoda is gone. He said that he will continue to attack Wuguan until His Majesty agrees.” Dou Wei said.
Mahan didn’t speak, just nodded.
Zhao Heng’s face was a little ugly, and he seemed to have some regrets.
But he didn’t say anything, and walked down the city wall in a lack of interest.
He still had a little luck, Beidi was just bluffing to scare him.
Wait and see.
Seeing Zhao Heng coming down the city wall, Ma Han called for the law and secretly ordered him to send the news to Yancheng quickly.
