Chapter 1025 Big man, shameless
After understanding her request, both sides spoke:
"The Yue Kingdom exchanges grain for Hao Kingdom for the people; why do you want to be a betrothal gift for arms and weapons? Do you want to start a war?"
"The Yue Kingdom will not go to war, but we must beware of the Hao Kingdom's war. I opened my mind that this betrothal gift is about guarantee, first the villain and then the gentleman."
"What about the guarantee of my country of Hao? If the Yue Emperor does not comply with his promise to marry Emperor Hao in five years, wouldn't this betrothal gift be given in vain?"
"The negotiation agreement, the marriage agreement is guaranteed. If Emperor Yue doesn't marry at that time, he will lose his trust in the world and the people in the world can defeat him!"
"I'll give you this again: Negotiation agreements and engagement documents can also be used as a guarantee for Yueguo. Haoguo promised that he would never attack behind his back!"
“That’s different.”
“Why are the difference?”
During the quarrels, Jiang Rulan stood up suddenly and questioned Dongguo Wuming in a fierce manner: "Will you give a betrothal gift if you marry a wife?"
Dongguo Wuming's heart was beating, and he suppressed the heat on his face and said in a deep voice: "Of course I want to give it away."
Jiang Rulan slapped the table and said, "Any betrothal gifts will be taken to her husband's house when she gets married. If her parents' family is rich, they will have to add another dowry. It would be fine if it was gold, silver and jewelry. Now it involves the country, we are not allowed to ask for some weapons as a guarantee? Are you asking for a bride? You are robbing a bride! Big man, shameless!"
Dongguo Wuming: "..."
He was sprayed on his face again.
Jiang Rulan's attack was too wide, and "men" such as Zhao Chaozong felt that they had been violated and were unhappy, so they all wanted to fight back.
Seeing that it was not good, Wang Jun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sister Yan wants to add some arms and weapons as a betrothal gift. Let's talk about it, so everyone can discuss it."
Jinhai also said: "Yes, let me tell you the number first."
When Dongguo Wuming was facing Dongguo, he winked: If the other party wants a small number of arms and weapons, it would be impossible to agree.
Jiang Rulan sat down angrily.
Yan Yun smiled and said, "It's still Brother Jun who is reasonable. What do you say about Mr. Dongguo and Lord Zhou?" She looked at Dongguo Wuming and Zhou Heizi.
Dongguo Wuming and Zhou Heizi looked at each other, nodded slightly, and quickly reached an agreement: first explore Yan Yun's bottom line and try their best to promote marriage.
Dongguo Wuming said, "Mr. Yan doesn't want territory, just arms, it's not impossible, but I don't know how much it takes?"
Yan Yun looked at him and said, "Young Master Dongguo, don't misinterpret my official's meaning. I didn't say I didn't want territory, but territory is just useless to Yue Kingdom at the moment. Now that Hao Kingdom divides more territory to Yue Kingdom, I will take Hao Kingdom with Yue Emperor to five years later. Why divide it? Besides, after demarcating the territory, Yue Emperor still has to worry about appointing officials to govern it. He worked hard and worked hard. In the end, he made wedding clothes for Hao Kingdom, and Yue Kingdom would not get much benefit."
Dongguo Wuming said: "So do you want it or not?"
Yan Yun said: "It depends on you. If the territory is divided according to the terms agreed by the Yue Emperor and Emperor Hao, the number of arms weapons will be added to the opposite side-" She pushed a document to the hand of Dongguo Wuming-"If the territory is not divided to the Yue Kingdom, the number of arms weapons will be tripled..."
Dongguo Wuming picked up the document and read it.
Zhou Heizi approached and looked at it together.
Before he finished reading it, he screamed: "So many, there are still craftsmen!"
So, the dispute recurs:
"This is quite a lot? Even if it is too much, I will take it to Hao Country in the future. You will not suffer any losses, but if you leave, you will feel at ease."
"If you give it, you will be at ease, and we will be unable to sleep or eat."
"Yes! You even need craftsmen!"
"These craftsmen were rescued by Yuehuang from Cui Hua. They didn't want them to repay their kindness, but they only borrowed them for a few years to be considered cheap."
"It's easy to say! How many arms can you build in a few years?"
"As you are so stingy, you can't bear to give up any betrothal gifts, and you still want to get married? It's so embarrassing!"
"That's not to say that, this is not a little betrothal gift. You can ask for gold, silver and jewelry, whatever you want, and your territory is fine. Why do you need so many arms and weapons? They are all delicate girls' homes, so how bad are they shouting and killing."
"Of course I'm guarding you."
"Yes, you have no credibility."
"Why are we not credible?"
"The Moon Emperor helped you before, how did you treat her?"
...
After a day of quarrel, the two sides did not reach a consensus.
So, it was agreed to continue the talk the next day.
That night, Yan Yun did not report to Li Hanyao.
First, there is no progress in the negotiations today and there is no way to report. Second, she is unwilling to ask for instructions every day and ask Li Hanyao for advice on big and small matters. How can she be the prime minister if she has no proposals? I am afraid that Li Hanyao will be disappointed in her.
Dongguo Wuming and Zhou Heizi did not go to find Wang He either. In addition to the similar reasons as Yan Yun, they were also worried that after telling Wang He that Wang He would intervene because he favored Li Hanyao, which would lead to their disadvantage in the negotiations.
Therefore, Wang He still didn't know about getting engaged.
Li Hanyao is so angry that she is willing to delegate power, and she has not interfered in Yan Yun's negotiations. When the negotiations are over, Yan Yun will come to report.
But for several days, the negotiations were in stalemate.
Both parties to the negotiation have a lot of talents, the chief officials are smart and capable, and their subordinates have their own strengths. At the negotiating table, they are matched with each other.
Dongguo Wuming and Yan Yun both knew very well: they represented the will of Emperor Hao and Emperor Yue, and the two hoped to marry each other, so they first determined the basis of the peace talks - engagement; on the premise that the marriage was determined, they would talk about the betrothal gift and future marriage, which was enough for them to argue.
Because each of them is their own masters, both sides will fight for an inch of land; and because both sides are in the goal of marriage unification, they do not want the negotiation to collapse, and at the critical moment, they have to give in a little, slowly approach the other party, striving to satisfy both parties.
Although the negotiations were getting closer and closer, Wang Jun still felt that it was slow.
He was very anxious and thought to himself:
No, I have to help my brother!
He looked around the negotiating table, including Yan Yun and others, and weighed it for a while, feeling that he wanted to persuade Yan Yun to help with his past relationship, and there was little chance of success, so he could only focus his attention on his own camp.
Flying over Dongguo Wuming and Zhou Heizi, he looked at Zhang Jinyan and Zhao Chaozong - these two must be directed at their brothers. Among them, the prince's cousin is real and not as clever as Brother Zhao. This matter has to be discussed with Brother Zhao.
He took advantage of the quit between the two sides and drank tea and looked for an opportunity to pull Zhao Chaozong aside, whispering: "Brother Zhao, this is not possible."
Zhao Chaozong glanced at Dongguo Wuming and Zhou Heizi with a squinted look on his face, his lips moved slightly, and he squeezed out his words from his teeth, "It's not possible. If this continues, Brother Na is afraid that he will not be able to marry Yuehuang."
Wang Jun hurriedly said, "What should I do?"
Zhao Chaozong said: "Brother, there is nothing he can do."
Wang Jun was immediately discouraged.
"However," Zhao Chaozong changed his subject, "We can go to see Brother Na and tell him the negotiation situation. He must have the idea to turn the situation around and promote a marriage."
Wang Jun was happy again and hurriedly said yes.
