After the war, peace talks were the top priority. Daliang and Beidi sent envoys to each other to conduct preliminary negotiations, agreed on a date for negotiations, and then Beidi sent envoys.
Compared with rushing to report thousands of miles away, peace envoys will inevitably be a little slow.
After all, for Beidi, the longer the negotiation is delayed, the better it is for him. He can take the opportunity to wait and see and look for bargaining chips that are beneficial to him.
As the main contributor to this national war, the Qin family naturally played an important role in the peace talks.
Although the peace talks were led by the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple and Taichang Temple, the Qin family also had to send people to participate.
Only in this way can the effect of "attack with force and intimidation, both soft and hard" be achieved, and seek the greatest interests for Daliang.
Once the Qin family withdraws, the Liang Guo peace talks delegation will be much softer.
Beidi, on the other hand, happens to be a martial artist. Facing a group of civil servants and peace envoys from Daliang, he despises them from the bottom of his heart before they even negotiate.
By then, it will be even more difficult for Beidi to bow his head and cede territory to pay compensation.
Qin Feng suddenly announced his withdrawal from the peace talks, which undoubtedly defeated Emperor Liang's army.
Emperor Liang slowly sat back on the throne. The anger in his eyes had dissipated, replaced by a cautious yet sharp look.
The entire Chaohui Hall became increasingly silent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Feng and Emperor Liang.
Compared with the second prince's false accusation just now, at this moment, the smell of gunpowder finally broke out.
No matter how noble Li Qian is, he is just a prince.
The prince and the saint may seem to be only a hair apart, but in fact they are thousands of miles apart.
Emperor Liang stared at Qin Feng quietly, seeming to test and warn Qin Feng with his eyes.
Qin Feng stood proudly among the ministers, neither humble nor arrogant, and took the initiative to meet Emperor Liang's eyes.
Even the six ministers, including the Three Dukes, would never look at Emperor Liang rashly.
There are two reasons.
First, the minister looked directly at the saint, and he was suspected of assassinating the king.
Secondly, anyone who dares to look directly at the saint is challenging the authority of the saint.
Qin Feng, who had always been cautious and tried his best to avoid getting involved in the struggle for imperial power, was uncharacteristically different.
Confronting the saint in the most fierce and tough way.
The palms of all the civil and military ministers present were sweating.
No one knows what will happen next, but one thing is certain: this is a king and a minister, a master and a servant, an old man and a young man.
They all have the ability to subvert the existing structure of Daliang and put everyone in purgatory.
Needless to say, saints hold the most extreme power in their hands and can decide anyone's life or death.
Including Qin Feng!
As long as the saint kills Qin Feng or orders Qin Feng to be taken into custody, even the soldiers and horses in the north will not be able to retaliate in a short time.
Correspondingly, Qin Feng has the support of the entire northern border military force, should something unexpected happen.
Xu Mo, Zhao Yulong, Ming Wang, Li Zhang... and the family members of the Qin family who stayed in Beixi County.
A civil war will be launched that can destroy the prosperous age of Daliang.
Even though Emperor Liang controlled the two major military trump cards of the city garrison and the Central Plains Imperial Party.
But facing the northern soldiers and horses who defeated Beidi head-on, what are the chances of winning?
Moreover, the wealthy families in the south have been dormant, waiting for opportunities to move. Who can predict that the wealthy families in the south and the soldiers in the north will not join forces to defeat the emperor?
Above this court, a 'balance of terror' has been maintained since ancient times.
Once the balance is broken, it means that the entire country will be dragged into the abyss of endless internal friction.
The civil and military minister's heart almost rose to his throat, and he could only pray in his heart. The saint and Qin Feng each took a step back.
The Chaohui Hall was filled with a chilling atmosphere, as if even time had stopped.
I don't know how long it took before Emperor Liang's voice broke the silence.
The moment the voice sounded, the majesty of the king was fully displayed.
"Qin Feng, are you trying to threaten me with the peace talks between Liang Guo?"
Qin Feng, who had sharp eyes and a tough hawkish attitude just now, also reacted immediately.
Stretch your arms flat and join your hands together, performing a very standard etiquette.
"I, Qin Feng, my loyalty to Daliang can be learned from heaven and earth, and my loyalty to saints is like the bright moon in the blue sky."
"The peace talks between the two countries are the top priority at the moment, and it is related to whether the soldiers who died in the north can rest in peace."
"It is about whether the lost national strength of Daliang can be restored, and it is more about avoiding another war between the two countries and allowing Daliang to continue its prosperity."
"How can I make a fuss about peace talks? Put personal interests above national interests?"
"It's just a peace negotiation delegation. Only when everyone is united can they frighten Beidi."
"If there is a gap in it, it will be counterproductive and even make the Beidi mission aware."
"In this case, it is better to avoid risks from the beginning."
Qin Feng's remarks not only respected Emperor Liang, but also provided the most reasonable explanation for his withdrawal.
Qin Feng is loyal, but he is never foolishly loyal.
For the sake of the country and the common people, Qin Feng could squeeze out the last bit of potential in Beixi County without hesitation.
But in order to blindly consolidate power, the loyalty of the Li family, which is willing to sacrifice anyone, will be greatly reduced.
How could Emperor Liang not understand the profound meaning of Qin Feng's words?
No matter how high-sounding it is, no matter how reasonable it is.
Ultimately, Qin Feng was threatening or even constraining Emperor Liang by withdrawing from the peace talks.
Emperor Liang's eyes were always focused on Qin Feng, and his mood became increasingly gloomy.
"What Marquis Qin said is not unreasonable."
"The Marquis of Qin took the initiative to withdraw in order for the peace talks to proceed smoothly. I have understood this loyalty."
"However, there must also be someone from the military in this peace negotiation mission."
"After all, Beidi is a warrior. It is difficult for civil servants alone to make Beidi surrender."
"As for the candidate to replace the Marquis of Qin, it is not difficult to choose. The generals stationed in Kyoto and the loyal ministers of the Central Plains Imperial Party are all qualified."
Emperor Liang's words were undoubtedly reminding Qin Feng.
Don't hold yourself too high, there are many people who can replace you, Qin Feng!
This beam can continue to function no matter who leaves it.
Since I can replace you Qin Feng, I can naturally destroy you Qin Feng.
Emperor Liang has issued an ultimatum to Qin Feng. If Qin Feng continues to be arrogant, he will surely be destroyed!
Qin Feng was in awe of Emperor Liang's clear warning.
But you must never lower your head. If you lower your head this time, you can never expect to raise your head again.
Qin Feng's body maintained the most humble posture, giving Emperor Liang the highest respect.
His tone became more sharp and tough.
"The garrison in Kyoto, the imperial party in the Central Plains, and the garrison in various states, naturally there are many capable people, and there are countless people who are qualified to serve as envoys."
"It's just that these people lack experience in contact with Beidi, so they need to be more cautious."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials present broke into a cold sweat.
Even Li Qian's eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Because Qin Feng's words were clearly threatening Emperor Liang.
This is the first time since the founding of Daliang!
