Before Liu Mingzhi finished his cup of tea, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xia Gongming, Wei Yong, and Tong Sansi, the second assistant, and the Minister of Household Affairs, Jiang Yuanming, walked into the back hall.
Zhou Baoyu followed closely, staring cautiously at Spiesmult who was following him a little tremblingly.
"I will see you, Your Majesty."
"Little Khan joins His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."
"Everyone is free of charge, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, His Majesty Emperor Dalong."
"Baoyu, let me show you some tea with my dear friends and Khan Spieth."
"yes."
Zhou Baoyu picked up the teapot and walked towards the group of people, while Liu Mingzhi gently moved the tea lid and caressed the tea leaves floating on the water.
His mind seemed to be on the tea in his hand, but his eyes were always lingering on the trembling Spiesmult.
Liu Mingzhi hesitated, wondering whether he should spare Spiesmult's life.
After she and Huyan Yunyao achieved positive results, Liu Mingzhi accidentally mentioned the past events while chatting. More than once, Liu Mingzhi heard Huyan Yunyao say that she still had a deep hatred between her brother and the former Great Khan of the Western Turks, Spismult.
That is a blood feud that insults and kills one's mother!
If I spared his life, I don't know what they would think if Yao'er and her uncle Hu Yanyu found out about it in the future!
Especially Yao'er, I'm afraid she will be very sad that her husband actually let her mother-killing enemy go.
Maybe she won't complain about anything, but being bored in her heart will not do any good to her body and mind.
Liu Mingzhi has seen things like depression and illness happen more than once or twice.
Moreover, Yaoer's mother, who has passed away for many years, is also one of her mother-in-laws.
Although he had never met her, and he didn't even ask her her name carefully because he was afraid of mentioning Yao'er's sad story, but his relationship with Yao'er still couldn't change her identity as his mother-in-law.
But if he is killed, the treasures he buried will become a problem.
The national treasury consumed so much gold, silver, grain and grass, and only captured so little loot. It was really beyond its means and out of proportion.
What if you find out where the treasure is buried, dig it out, and then kill him?
If it were the past, I would definitely not have any psychological burden, let alone any pressure.
But things are different now. Jun Wuxi said that the shackles are not as heavy as usual.
If the criticism is left behind and someone takes advantage of it, it will inevitably cause some trouble.
Um? etc!
What is this young master struggling with here?
I can promise him not to kill him, but that doesn't mean others have promised not to kill him!
For example, my uncle Hu Yanyu.
When he returns from the Western Expedition, being able to kill his enemies with his own hands, this should be the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish for Hu Yanyu himself, right?
After thinking about this, Mr. Liu's eyes flashed with a fox-like smile, he took a sip of tea and put it back.
"Spith Khan!"
"Xiaohan is here."
"You know my purpose of talking to you alone, and I also know it in my heart.
Although your request is not stated out loud, I already have a rough idea in my mind.
It's just that one code is the same. What I guess is what I guess, but I still want to hear your own request.
Tell me, what are the requirements for you to honestly reveal the location of the buried treasure? "
Spiesmult was stunned for a moment, looking at Young Master Liu in surprise, unable to react.
He originally thought that Liu Mingzhi would talk about the treasures he buried in a subtle way, but he didn't expect that he would be so straightforward and not follow common sense at all.
All the drafts I prepared after being escorted back to Beijing, and even after meeting Liu Mingzhi at Qinzheng Hall, were useless.
Involuntarily, Spiesmult became a little flustered, and began to secretly reorganize some of the requests he wanted to mention.
Hiding his thoughtful gaze with the action of drinking tea, Spieth was silent for a long time. He glanced at Xia Gongming and others who were sitting around with their heads eagerly waiting to stare at him, and then fixed his gaze on Young Master Liu. on the body.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, can you agree to Xiao Khan's request?"
"certainly--"
Before the surprise on Spiesmult's face could be fully revealed, Young Master Liu blurted out the following words.
"It's impossible!"
Spismult's face froze, and he cursed shamelessly. However, the form was inferior to others, and he was a prisoner. He could only sneer and nod: "Xiaohan understands."
“Khan Spieth, if you want to negotiate, you have to talk first to know whether it is feasible or not.
Even if I don’t know Khan’s request, how can I make the final decision?
What do you think? "
"Yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor is right. It was the little Khan who lost his composure.
So Xiaohan first tell me about his bold request? "
"please!"
Spiethmulter drank the warm tea in one gulp, the fragrance of the tea seemed to calm him down.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the little Khan can tell His Majesty the Emperor where the little Khan buried all the treasures of our Western Turks when he fled from the rebellious ministers and traitors in the Huyan Court.
But Xiaohan ventured to mention a few trivial requests.
The first is just a simple task for you, the Emperor, and that is to hope that His Majesty the Emperor can forgive Xiao Khan's life.
Xiao Khan is over fifty years old, but His Majesty is still in the prime of his youth.
Xiaohan will never have any dissatisfaction with His Majesty until the end of his life, and he will not have the ability to cause trouble in His Majesty's hands.
Sparing Xiaohan's old life, allowing Xiaohan to linger and enjoy his old age, is nothing more than a trivial matter to you, Your Majesty.
It can also demonstrate the benevolence and kindness of His Majesty the Great Dragon Emperor, and make the Khan and the subordinate countries sincerely convinced.
Secondly, Xiao Khan hopes that Your Majesty will allow Xiao Khan and his old, weak, sick and disabled people to return to their hometown and live out the rest of their lives in peace.
They are all the old tribesmen of Xiao Khan, and they have followed him through life and death.
Xiaohan no longer hopes to let them live a life of glory and wealth. He only hopes to take them back to their roots, return to their former homeland, and return to the embrace of the Wolf God until they die.
Thirdly, Xiaohan escaped to the desert of Yinshan Mountain and strayed into Tsarist Russia. He came back twice just to take back the grassland and pasture that belonged to Xiaohan.
That was the ancestral foundation built by Xiao Khan's ancestors with their lives. How could Xiao Khan be willing to fall into the hands of rebellious officials and traitors like the Huyan tribe and remain indifferent.
However, as of today, now that His Majesty the Emperor has unified the world, the little Khan no longer dares to hope to take back that piece of grassland as his own.
I just ask His Majesty the Emperor to take pity on the little Khan and reward the old land of Spies to the little Khan and his subordinates.
Give me a place to settle down and live out my life.
We, Shi Bisi, are willing to bow our heads to the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, pay tribute year after year, and be our ministers from generation to generation.
You are guarding the territory for His Majesty the Emperor as a token of my gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor for his great kindness.
Xiao Khan boldly mentioned these three requests, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor's grace would grant Xiao Khan's request. "
Liu Mingzhi tapped his fingertips gently on the table, looking at Spiesmulter who was bowing in front of him with a frightened expression, half-smiling but not smiling.
“The three demands made by Khan Spieth are indeed just small demands and not excessive.
When people get old, they hope to be able to return to their roots. It is human nature and completely understandable. "
When Wei Yong, Tong Sansi, and Jiang Yuanming heard this, their expressions changed suddenly, and they subconsciously wanted to stand up to dissuade them, but Xia Gongming, who was the leader, raised his hand to stop them.
"Be calm and don't be impatient.
Your Majesty is not the kind of king who will be happy with a few soft words and flattery. "
Xia Gongming's soft muttering made the three of them stunned. They sat down quietly with hesitant expressions, and their complicated eyes lingered on Liu and Young Master Liu.
Spismult looked at Young Master Liu with surprise and inexplicable surprise: "Did His Majesty the Emperor agree to Xiao Khan's request?"
Young Master Liu picked up the tea and shook his head with a smile.
"It's understandable, but it's a pity that I don't agree."
"Ah? Why...why?"
“Khan Spieth!
The grasslands that you Western Turks occupied back then were the territories conquered by the Han family's hussar general, Champion Hou.
But later, due to some reasons, I was borrowed by you for a period of time and used it as a temporary residence.
Now that I have spent a lot of effort to regain it, how can I give it away again?
The territory that our ancestors laid down with their lives and blood.
The ancestors fought one after another, spilling blood on the battlefield and trying their best to recover it.
How can we give the land of our ancestors to others? "
