When Wang Cezhi and Jiang Tian arrived at the palace hall, the eldest prince and a group of ministers had been waiting here for a long time.
As soon as the two entered, they saw the eldest prince standing at the door, holding a huge garland of flowers in his hand, and the waiter beside him held another in his hand.
When he saw the two people coming in, the eldest prince was about to hang the garland of flowers that was almost mopping the floor on Wang Cezhi's head, but suddenly noticed the dirty appearance of the two people, and his expression immediately changed.
However, it quickly returned to a full smile. He came to Wang Cezhi holding the garland with a smile and put it around Wang Cezhi's neck.
At the same time, he grabbed Wang Cezhi's hand with an apologetic look and said, "Ambassador Wang is so sorry. I was negligent some time ago. I was so negligent!"
Wang Cezhi, who had focused on him as soon as he came in, naturally saw the change in his face. The corners of his lips curled up, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing him suppressing his emotions and making such a flattering appearance, Wang Cezhi's sarcasm overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
He did not stop him and allowed him to put a garland of flowers on his head. After he backed away, Wang Cezhi suddenly sneered in a sinister manner:
"Your Majesty did not neglect us and allowed us to stay with good food and drink for more than half a month. The foreign minister is really grateful!"
Jiang Tian on the side also followed the sound of the urn and said:
"It's really delicious and delicious. I've been eating Shendu Feifei Pancake for almost a month.
People are almost turning into poisonous flying cakes! "
The smile on the eldest prince's face suddenly froze, but everyone who could sit in this position had excellent adaptability and thick skin, and his stiff face quickly changed back.
He forced a smile and said with a smile: "It seems that you two are hungry, so we will prepare the banquet immediately. Please wait a moment!"
After saying this, he immediately ordered the waiter to start preparing.
Wang Cezhi and Jiang Tian looked at each other, nodded to each other, and walked into the palace in a swagger. Jiang Tian also had a waiter bring him a long wreath of flowers.
Following the instructions of the eldest prince, the main hall that was originally used for King Shendu's meetings was soon transformed into a huge restaurant.
Similar to the meal-sharing system used when the emperor of the Song Dynasty gave banquets, the left and right sides of the main hall were filled with low tables and cushions.
Each person has his own seat, and all the ministers have taken their seats one by one.
Wang Cezhi and Jiang Tian unceremoniously took the two seats on the top left, forcing the poisonous prime minister and military minister to move two seats back to them.
His arrogant attitude was no longer concealed at all, which made the poisonous ministers and the eldest prince in the hall feel itchy but they were helpless!
Now that the situation has reversed, and you are demanding others, you can only allow others to be arrogant, and you can only support them.
If they had known today, they should have calmly thought over half a month ago before deciding to go to war with Tianyun Kingdom, so that the entire army of more than 600,000 people would not be completely destroyed!
Now they still believe that based on the expeditionary force's past style, they must have killed all the more than 600,000 troops sent out this time. No one thought that many people would survive.
Under the eldest prince's strict order, the food was served shortly after sitting down.
Everyone is provided with a set of tableware, which is actually a gold or plate and a cup for drinking water.
There was also a glass cup, but the water in the cup looked very turbid, like muddy water, so Wang Ce subconsciously placed it in the corner of the table.
And on the gold and silver plates, there were rice filled with curry and large pieces of mutton!
But they were not given tableware. Wang Cezhi frowned, took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms, washed the chopsticks with water in the cup in front of everyone in the hall, and then started eating with the chopsticks.
The same is true for Jiang Tian.
The two of them were really eating like people who had been imprisoned for a long time.
This appearance also made the eldest prince and others heave a heavy sigh of relief.
The meal lasted for two-quarters of an hour, and the two of them wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs and concluded the meal.
"I wonder how your meal went, you two? Are you satisfied?"
The eldest prince who had been waiting for the two of them saw that they had finished eating at noon. His face immediately showed joy and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Wang Cezhi and the two nodded, and then said: "It's not bad, I'm full after eating."
The eldest prince smiled and nodded repeatedly: "As long as you are full, it will be good."
Immediately afterwards, the two sides suddenly fell silent, and the eyes of many of Shendu's ministers also shifted to the eldest prince, the current Supreme Head of State.
After taking a few deep breaths, the eldest prince finally made up his mind. He looked at Wang Cezhi and said cautiously: "Ambassador Wang, regarding the relationship between my body and your country, we have considered it for a long time and decided to agree, so..."
The eldest prince originally wanted to say, so can you send a message asking your people to withdraw from the current Shendu territory, not to invade Shendu country, and the two countries maintain friendly relations.
As for the conditions that had been considered harsh before, the eldest prince and the poisonous officials now felt that they were acceptable, so they agreed without too much entanglement.
However, Wang Cezhi snorted coldly, stood up, patted himself, and said proudly: "That was the previous condition, but it is no longer enough!"
"What?!"
All the poisonous ministers and the eldest prince all stood up.
He looked at Wang Cezhi angrily.
However, Wang Cezhi didn't take it seriously at all, and even licked his ears leisurely, not taking these people seriously at all.
The eldest prince also had a livid face and spoke in a difficult voice. He tried hard to suppress the anger that was about to burst out in his heart and asked calmly: "Ambassador, this is not what we agreed before!"
Wang Cezhi smiled coldly and said: "That was just a condition of what you agreed to at that time, but you didn't agree, right?
Well, now that you are fighting and fighting, and we are also wasting our hands and feet, do you think the original conditions are enough? "
Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
The eldest prince's chest was rising and falling rapidly, his chest was hot, his cheeks were red, and his whole body was like a red-hot boiler, as if it would erupt in the next moment!
A full quarter of an hour later.
The eldest prince then suppressed the anger in his heart and asked:
"Then what are the ambassador's current conditions?"
He had no intention of continuing to talk in circles, and simply asked directly:
"How can your Tianyun Kingdom retreat from our body poison?"
Seeing that he was straight to the point, Wang Cezhi also smiled and said with a smile: "It's very simple! Didn't you originally pay tribute to my Tianyun Kingdom of one million taels of gold, five million catties of spices and ten million stones of grain every year?
Double that number!
In addition, the land we occupied now belongs to us!
The two countries have opened up trade, and the merchants of the Tianyun Kingdom enjoy diplomatic immunity. In other words, if a merchant from Tianyun commits a crime against you, you have no right to try him. You can only hand him over to us, and we will judge him. Dispose of it yourself.
You cannot harm our businessmen at all.
Moreover, you cannot stop the products from our Tianyun Kingdom from entering your country, and you cannot collect commodity tax. However, if the products from our Tianyun Kingdom are to be sold to our Tianyun Kingdom, they need to be reviewed and approved, and half of the entry tax must be paid. Only in this way can you enter Tianyun Kingdom to do business.
In addition, when necessary, our military has the right to send troops into Shendu Country to ensure the interests of our Tianyun Country, and Shendu Country cannot stop it.
Of course, this number will not be too large, just about a thousand people.
besides……"
Wang Cezhi talked about a lot of unequal treaties eloquently, and the eldest prince and all the poisonous ministers looked so gloomy that they could even shed tears after hearing this.
But he could only agree one by one.
This is how people work as swordsmen and I work as fish and meat.
They are helpless and have no choice!
