The news of the Qin family's happiness soon spread throughout Changshui County. Shen Qingci rushed in with Niu Er in his arms. Looking at Li Xiaolan lying on the bed, Shen Qingci looked extremely excited and hurried to the bed. Putting the sleeping Niu Er aside, he held Li Xiaolan's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Xiaolan, you are a great contributor to the Qin family."
As the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Shen Qingci knows best the weakness of the Qin family, which is nothing more than the weakness of the family.
Although the four girls sincerely regard themselves as members of the Qin family, it is still a fact that the Qin family has no descendants. Without descendants, no matter how powerful the Qin family is, it will ultimately be nothing.
And now, the biggest weakness of the Qin family has been successfully compensated with the help of Li Xiaolan. Shen Qingci is naturally sincerely happy.
Xiao Xiangxiang and Shufeng stood at the door, looking at the two eldest ladies hugging each other and crying, and they felt extremely happy in their hearts.
Ning Hu and Zhang Zhenhai, as well as Liu Ming, who had just recovered from his serious injury, also came to congratulate him.
Ning Hu hugged Qin Feng's shoulders and said excitedly: "Brother Qin, as expected of you, you are indeed walking in front of our brothers."
Qin Feng touched his nose. After all, Qin Feng had almost zero experience in this area. Although he was excited, he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Zhenhai and Liu Ming were just holding fists in joy for Qin Feng, while the rough guys just kept giggling.
Because of this incident, Qin Feng was in a good mood. When he learned that Zhang Chao was still waiting in the lobby, he stopped "stretching" him and walked away immediately.
When Qin Feng opened the door curtain and appeared in the lobby, Zhang Chaozheng was drowsy with his hungry belly in his arms.
Qin Feng coughed lightly, and Zhang Chao woke up instantly. When he saw Qin Feng standing in front of him, Zhang Chao was first surprised, then cautious, and he quickly bowed and saluted.
"Zhang Chao, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, pays homage to the Marquis of Qin."
At first, Zhang Chao thought that it would take at least a few days to see Qin Feng, and he didn't know whether his old bones could bear it. Unexpectedly, he met Qin Feng as he wished not long after he arrived. Fortunately among misfortunes.
Qin Feng raised his hand and motioned to Zhang Chao to sit wherever he wanted, and he picked a chair casually. He didn't care about any concerns about elders or inferiority. When he was in a good mood, he could do whatever he felt comfortable with.
"Master Zhang, I heard that you brought an apology gift when you came this time? I wonder what these gifts are?" Qin Feng asked straight to the point.
Zhang Chao was caught off guard by Qin Feng's question. He had never seen anyone ask for a gift first. This was too rude.
However, considering that the other party was Qin Feng and could not reason based on common sense, Zhang Chao did not hesitate and answered quickly.
"The old thief Lu Li assassinated the Marquis of Qin. Your Majesty was extremely angry. In order to make up for the Marquis of Qin, he has drawn up an imperial edict and sent a hundred thousand taels of silver, three thousand taels of gold, two boxes of pearls, emeralds, agates, etc., and five hundred high-quality war horses. Thirty maids between the ages of thirteen and eighteen.”
Qin Feng couldn't help but feel funny when he heard the price offered by the other party.
It seems that the Beidi King has spent a lot of money on the peace talks, and since this is a national-level negotiation, he naturally has to prepare generous gifts.
However, these things pale in comparison to the funds Qin Feng invested in this winter war.
Qin Feng nodded with a smile: "I thought your country was at the end of its rope, but I didn't expect that you could still come up with so much gold and silver. It seems that the food and grass for the march and the pockets of celebrities and powerful people in your country are not lost. It’s just an account.”
Hearing this, Zhang Chao couldn't help but blush.
How could he not understand what Qin Feng meant? It is clearly a satire on Beidi. He has no money to fight, but he is very rich in giving gifts.
But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor Da Di is, he can still get this little gold and silver.
Zhang Chao pretended not to understand Qin Feng's sarcasm, and just spoke in a precise manner according to the details agreed with King Beidi in advance. He was worried that it would take too long and he would not even have a chance to speak.
"The death of old traitor Lu Li is not a pity. On behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in Dadi, I sincerely request the Marquis of Qin to raise your noble hand and allow the southern army to retreat."
"Now that Sangzhou has fallen into the hands of the Marquis of Qin, our country is willing to sign a hundred-year contract with the Marquis of Qin. During these hundred years, Sangzhou will be temporarily handed over to the Marquis of Qin, but Zhuozhou also asks the Marquis of Qin to return the complete jade to Zhao."
"It's freezing cold, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the people are in dire straits. Facing the offensive of the southern army, our army can only continue to prepare food, causing the people all over the world to suffer. It is rumored that the Marquis of Qin has a heart of a Bodhisattva, even if he doesn't care about us and others. , I also implore the Marquis of Qin to pay gold and withdraw his troops for the sake of the people of the world."
As he spoke, Zhang Chao knelt down on the ground with a pop. For the sake of the people and the country, there was nothing wrong with kneeling down.
It's a pity that Qin Feng didn't even blink.
"Master Zhang, I can feel your sincerity, but I am not the only one who decides everything."
"If your country really wants to negotiate peace, then I can draw three clear paths for your country."
"First, the monarch of your country abdicates, and the throne will be inherited by the late emperor Princess Yushu."
"Secondly, your country will be responsible for all the expenses of this winter war, totaling 10 million taels of silver, which will be paid off within half a year."
"Third, disband the Eagle Brigade garrison on the spot, leave Zhuozhou undefended, and pay tribute of three million taels of silver to our Daliang every year."
Upon hearing the price offered by Qin Feng, Zhang Chao froze on the spot, staring blankly at Qin Feng, unable to recover for a long time.
It is absolutely impossible to meet any of these three requirements.
In other words, it is impossible for Qin Feng to retreat.
Zhang Chao had long expected that this negotiation would not go smoothly, but he did not expect Qin Feng's attitude to be so resolute.
Zhang Chao refused to give up and almost begged: "Isn't it true that the Marquis of Qin must let the mountains and rivers of Dadi be shattered? There will be no corpses of hundreds of millions of people?"
Is this considered moral kidnapping?
Qin Feng laughed: "Mr. Zhang, you are serious. I am only targeting the monarch of your country. I have absolutely no hostility towards the people of the world. I would like to ask, is this Dadi the emperor of your country, or the emperor of the world?" The common people’s Dadi?”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Chao couldn't help but be speechless.
If he admits that he is the emperor's Dadi, then Qin Feng's attack on Dadi is only aimed at the imperial power.
If the latter is admitted, then the problem can be solved by the emperor's abdication. If you insist on clinging to the imperial power, you will only drag the people of the world to be buried with you. On the contrary, it is unjust to the imperial power.
After a long time, Zhang Chao took a deep breath: "A family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day."
Qin Feng nodded and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Princess Yushu directly inherits the throne and will definitely work hard to govern the world. Naturally, the position of monarch will not be vacant."
