Chapter 873 Text Peace Negotiation Conditions
Just look at Yeluqi who deliberately looked dissatisfied, exhaled a long breath from his nostrils, frowned and said: "Princess Anping, Princess Anping, the two cities must be the largest, the richest, and the most populous, but since it was you who proposed If you want to replace someone, you will have to dowry another one million silver!"
"One million silver? You are really bragging!"
Jin Deqing, the Minister of Household Affairs, was so angry that his face was green with anger. They raised millions of soldiers in the country, and their annual military salary was only 300,000 taels. Plus the required military supplies such as food and grass, military doctors, weapons, and rewards, it was just More than a million!
But Yeluqi asked for one million silver. If they, Qianguo, could pay for it, why would they negotiate a peace with them?
According to the temper of the Supreme Emperor Li Zongchao, he will have to fight with them for another year and a half!
"Why, does this mean that the dowry is too much? Don't the cattle and sheep from our country of Hu not be enough? Or are the war horses, leather and ores from our country of Hu not enough?"
In order to propose marriage to Li Jinshu, they had prepared a gift list and presented it in advance. Now that the marriage partner has changed, of course they have to add some conditions, otherwise wouldn't they lose money?
Jin Deqing was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he naturally knew Hu Guo's sincerity in negotiating the peace. However, Qian Guo's treasury was empty, so how could he get so much money?
Turning his attention to Li Hongkuo, they had been monarchs and ministers for many years. Li Hongkuo could naturally understand Jin Deqing's eyes and immediately gave him a look of approval.
Jin Deqing got the approval and started bargaining with Yeluqi.
This grueling discussion of interests lasted from day to night, and from day to night to dawn. Even during this period, Li Hongkuo took out his hand and sent people to clean up the Chongde Hall inside and outside, and put it in place again. feast.
They also sent troops to capture the rebels and rectify the safety of the imperial city.
Li Jinshu and Bei Minling watched carefully as the people from Qianguo Hubu and Honglu Temple took turns to fight, and had a good war of words with Hu Guoyi and the ministers of the mission. From the beginning of listening and learning, to the end they were exhausted. I couldn't even open my eyes, and the four of them, Fifth Shangyou and Su Luoyu, were trapped in a ball.
In the end, the state of Qian promised a series of dowries such as 100,000 taels of silver, 80,000 bolts of cloth, 50,000 jins of tea, 30,000 jins of grain seeds, and 10,000 volumes of books as a condition for peace, and betrothed Princess Li Jinling of Anping to Xihu. King Yeluheng of Yu.
"Princess An Ning, although you and I are not destined to be together at this time, it does not mean that we have no destiny in this life. I hope that when we meet again in the future, you can have a different view of me. I would like to toast you with this glass of wine!"
Just as the peace talks were coming to an end, a pair of leather high boots appeared in front of Li Jinshu's desk.
A familiar voice came to her ears. The girl in red clothes raised her eyelids dejectedly, stood up with strength, raised a glass with them, and said with a smile: "King Yu has come all the way, I should toast you with this cup." That’s right, I hope to see you again someday as you said!”
The peace talks were finally concluded. People from the Ministry of Rites respectfully sent the envoys from Hu State out of the palace, temporarily arranging for them to live in the guild hall, waiting for the Qin Tian Jian to choose an auspicious day to welcome Princess Yu back to Hu State.
Along the way, the officials of the Ministry of Rites kept reminding them that the Hu people must not spread the secrets in the palace today. The Hu people's ears were about to get calloused.
"It's not good, it's not good, Your Majesty!"
A girl who looked like a palace maid stumbled in. Li Hongkuo took a closer look and saw that she looked familiar.
She tripped over the threshold of the hall and fell to the ground. The girl simply couldn't get up. As if she didn't know the pain, she crawled into the hall and cried towards Li Hongkuo's position: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the princess is dead!"
