Chapter 412; Last request

"His Majesty."

As soon as an official from the Han family opened his mouth, Emperor Hongwen's cold eyes swept away.

"Drag him out and behead him."

These bitches are eating Dongzhou and actually helping Xirong. They are simply worse than pigs and dogs.

It was these guys who came out to stop them just now, which made the Xirong trio feel proud, and now they are like this, and they are jumping out.

"Whoever dares to say another nonsense will be killed without mercy."

Emperor Hongwen glanced coldly at the ministers who had jumped out to stop him.

They are all dressed like shit, they only want security, they have been bullied to death, they have no blood at all, and they are not as good as a woman.

Disappointed, really so disappointed.

It seems that it is time to clean up these bastards in the court who ignore national issues and only care about their own safety.

There was no rush to speak now.

"Your Majesty, I want to personally handle such an arrogant Xirong monkey. Is it possible?"

Just after the imperial guards captured the Xirong trio, the Duke of Zhen suddenly stood up.

After all, there are still smart people. Emperor Hongwen just said that he would kill these three people, but in fact it was just a scare.

Given the current situation, it would not be wise to start a war with Xirong.

Even if there is a certain probability that Dongzhou can withstand it in the end, as Lu Yaoyao said, the national strength will at least drop by several levels.

By then, how will Northern Chu and Southern Xinjiang let them go?

So he doesn't want to start a war with Xirong. He won't kill these three people, but he won't let them go for the time being. He still needs them to do some things.

Duke Zhenguo had obviously thought of this, and came out to do the killing himself, just to save these three people from being chopped down by the Imperial Guards after they were pulled down.

"allow."

The Duke of Zhen Guo bowed his hands and led the three of them out.

Not long after, three screams were heard outside.

Many people in the hall were frightened.

"Today's New Year's Eve banquet is really boring, so let's break up."

"The Prime Minister on the left, the Prime Minister on the right, the Duke of Zhenguo, the King of Jin, and Princess Wanfu are staying."

His Majesty spoke, and all the ministers and women's family members stood up and left.

After a while, everyone left.

The few people who were named and left behind followed Emperor Hongwen to the Imperial Study Room.

At this time, in the imperial study room, the Xirong trio were all tied up.

"You have all heard clearly what Wanfu said just now."

"The reason why I won't kill you is because I don't want the people of the two countries to suffer, and I don't want Northern Chu to reap the benefits."

"Now tell me about your choice. Should you continue to fight head-on to destroy the country and exterminate the species, or should you go back?"

Emperor Hongwen sat majestically on the dragon chair, looking down at the three people below.

At this time, the three of them looked at each other, and finally the third prince of Xirong said feebly: "You can want us to go back, but the Emperor of Dongzhou must agree to our three requests."

"Requests, you are not qualified to discuss demands."

At this time, Emperor Hongwen would not give these three people any face at all.

"In this case, we will choose to fight head-on. Even if Xirong is destroyed, it will not make things easier for you in Dongzhou."

The third prince of Xirong said coldly.

"In that case, let's try it."

"Mr. Zhen Guo, you immediately abandon your troops and head to the border. I want to see how powerful Xirong's national power is."

Duke Zhenguo quickly raised his hands and said, "Old minister, go now. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to stop Xirong. Even if they want to reach Changlin River in the end, it will take at least two or three months."

"That's very good. Prime Minister Wen and Dong, starting from tomorrow, you will immediately arrange for people to build fortifications near the river."

The two of them also responded quickly.

When the Xirong trio saw the situation, they felt a little panicked.

Is this really a head-on confrontation?

"Wait a minute."

Hu Yanlan spoke quickly.

This thing can't really be fought head-on. In fact, what they just said about using the power of the whole country is bullshit, and it is also meant to scare Dongzhou.

To put it bluntly, they just want to get some benefits from Dongzhou so that they can be used to resist Beichu's attack.

Is it so easy to do it with the efforts of the whole country?

Just taking food and grass is an astronomical figure. In fact, the number of soldiers they actually mobilized on the Dongzhou border was less than five thousand. The real main force was all defending Beichu.

"Emperor Dongzhou, we have just one request. As long as you agree, we will go back immediately."

Emperor Hongwen smiled coldly, and just as he was about to object, Lu Yaoyao's voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, let's hear what the request is first."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded.

"We only want peace, but under the current circumstances, if we want peace, we can only get married. Therefore, we sincerely ask His Majesty the Emperor of Dongzhou to agree to our Lord's request and marry Princess Wanfu to Xirong."

"In this way, our two countries can have peace and even have permanent diplomatic relations."

"dream."

King Jin was not happy when he heard this.

Likewise, Lu Yaoyao's face darkened.

"You want to ask for peace, but you want me, a girl from Dongzhou, to marry into Xirong. You are so insincere, so let's fight."

It is impossible for Emperor Hongwen to agree. You have to know how much Dongzhou will lose if he agrees?

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. Since Xirong has made up his mind, I think we can strike first."

"Be the first to make a surprise attack, attack Xirong, and seize an opportunity."

As soon as Duke Zhen opened his mouth, panic flashed across the faces of Hu Yanlan and the third prince of Xirong.

Although he quickly covered it up, Lu Yaoyao still saw it.

I saw her brows furrowed, her mind working rapidly, and suddenly she seemed to have thought of something.

At the same time, Emperor Hongwen and King Jin also noticed the changes in their expressions, and their eyes twitched slightly.

"Your Majesty, I feel that what the Duke of Zhenguo said is very true. Since Xirong is about to fight, we should indeed seize the initiative. This can also delay a little more time."

"Princess Wanfu is right. Please give your Majesty the order."

King Jin quickly responded. He also noticed that there was something wrong with the panic of the two people.

"That's all, that's all. Since His Majesty the Emperor of Dongzhou doesn't agree, how about just pretending that I've never been here?"

Hu Yanlan spoke again.

"Why, do you still want to go back to Xirong?"

Emperor Hongwen smiled coldly.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, we must not let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Wen Songtao said quickly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in accordance with your opinion, would like to temporarily detain him before making a final decision."

Prime Minister Dong also spoke.

"Well, press it down."

"No, you can't treat us like this. We are envoys and you are so out of line."

However, no matter how they shouted, Emperor Hongwen and others ignored them.

Soon the three of them were taken down by the imperial guards and sent to the prison.

"What do you think of what the three of them just said?"

"bluff."

The Duke of Zhen Guo was the first to speak.

"I also feel that what they say is not very credible."

Prime Minister Dong also spoke.

"Although it is somewhat untrue, I think we still need to be prepared."

Wen Songtao is still relatively conservative.

"My dear brother, I think Wen Xiang is right."

King Jin was also a little unsure. After all, this matter could be big or small, so it was better to be on the safe side.
