Chapter 364 Strength First
"Your Highness, this was sent by Miss Cen." As soon as Yun Mohan stepped out of the hall, Gu Fan delivered the small orange lamp containing the notes to him.
The content on the note is very simple, just one sentence: Everything goes well, and Qingxing has taken the bait.
As he swept his eyes on the note, Yun Mohan's mouth curled up and a smile appeared: "I finally heard good news today."
"Your Highness, those people inside still refuse to give in?" Hearing this, Gu Fan's gaze subconsciously turned to the hall.
The light in the hall was dim, and only a few figures gathered together, whispering to discuss something.
However, even if you can't see the situation clearly, Gu Fan knew what these people were discussing together.
These people are messengers from the south to find a country.
Miguo has always been incompatible with Daqi, and the southern border was also due to the unfriendly relationship between the two countries, and the big fights every three years and every five years.
It was not until twenty-one years ago that the Qi army won a great victory and defeated several cities of Miguo. The army directly pointed to the capital of Miguo, which forced the king of Miguo to admit defeat and surrender and bow down to his subordinates.
After finding the country and surrendering to the vassal, the southern border finally settled.
The two countries also began to recuperate.
However, Miguo, which gradually recovered his vitality in these twenty-one years, has begun to become dishonest again in the past one or two years.
This time, they sent envoys to visit Daqi, which was to pay homage to the king of the country, and to show respect and loyalty. However, in fact, they were self-reliant in recent years and wanted to bargain with Daqi for the tribute.
Today, they gathered with His Highness and must be discussing the reduction of tributes again.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan couldn't help but feel anger in his eyes: "When the peace talks were negotiated, the two sides clearly agreed on the contract for a hundred years.
"Now, in just twenty-one years, why do they ask for a reduction of tribute? Your Highness directly asked for a contract and refused them in one go?"
In his opinion, this matter is the other party's mistake.
Even if Your Highness refuses the proposal, it is reasonable, and the other party can't say anything at all.
"You're thinking too simple." Yun Mohan sighed lightly and said helplessly, "The contract is just a thin piece of paper. What restricts both parties is not this piece of paper or the text on it, but strength.
"If our Daqi's strength can always crush them, then it will be valid even if it is a hundred years or a thousand years.
"But once we can't suppress them, no matter how long it would take for them to surrender, they would be able to leave it behind."
Strength is the only key to determining the relationship between the two countries.
As for the others...
Haha…Yun Mohan pressed down on the corner of his mouth, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Nowadays, these people bargain, aren’t they just recovering their own vitality and think they can fight with the Great?
As for why I didn’t dare to ask my father to refuse to offer sacrifices, but instead played a bitter scene with him here. Isn’t it because Miguo was ultimately inferior to Qi, so I had to bow my head?
While Yun Mohan and Gu Fan were talking, the people who gathered together to discuss seemed to have a general result. Although the few people still said a few words from time to time, one of the young girls had turned around and came to Yun Mohan.
"Your Highness, several adults in our country have discussed the tribute again." The girl stood in front of Yun Mohan and suggested in a humble and arrogant manner, "We are willing to replace the things that cannot be taken out."
