In order to stand out among the princes in his youth, Mingye, who was young, knew that when he did anything, he did not focus on interests, but on needs.

If you weigh the pros and cons of a relationship, even if you go against your original intention, you should choose the option of choosing the lesser of the two evils.

There is no unfairness, no unwillingness. If you want to achieve a certain goal, you naturally have to make corresponding choices.

It’s like now that Li Guan sent envoys to discuss peace talks, no one can tell what kind of thoughts he was.

The tribes in the northern border have now been suppressed by the Su family army and have no power to backhand, but this does not mean that they will not counterattack the moment they fall off the cliff.

This time, what was Li Guan and others fighting? Mingye had to be careful and had to beat them with timely words.

They are just one of the many tribes in the north. Even if the population is large, how can they compare with the prosperous Central Plains?

Are you still saying that they are ill-gotten and have ulterior motives?

Xiurong's face changed a lot, but fortunately, she was not seen by a group of people and others: "Your Majesty is a lot of gentlemen, come here, come on."

A humble old man slowly walked out of the Hu people's team. He was struggling, but he looked very pious and respectful when holding things in both hands.

"The book in this book is specially prepared for Shangbang this time by the Li Guan clan. You are also asked to see it." Xiurong's eyes signaled to the old man.

The old man understood and moved a few more steps towards the hall with a page of booklet.

The eunuch beside Mingye obediently took it from the other party. After standing in his position, he began to read according to usual habits: "Thirty pairs of high-end ponytail huqin, fifty jars of horse milk wine, and one hundred cattle and sheep selected..."

After chanting about half a cup of tea, it sounded horrible. But after chewing it carefully, the court was in an uproar.

Finally, one or two impatients stood up first: "Since ancient times, those who entered the Central Plains have all dominated one side. If Sheng is the lord of the Central Plains today, there is no reason for you to oppress arbitrarily."

The atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense, and the official's words were equivalent to putting all his secret thoughts on the surface.

Xiurong Xiaoxiao, she had expected all the situations before coming: "What do you mean by sir? I, Li Guan, sincerely took out specialty products, will Shangbang still look down on you?"

Mingye said nothing, not only because he was dissatisfied with Li Guan's move, but also because he wanted to see what his civil and military officials in the court made.

You should know that the northern land is rich in grass and water, and their nomadic peoples control many elite cavalry. This is something that cannot be compared with the history of the Central Plains, which has been traced back to decades or even hundreds of years.

If sincerity means being friendly, why not choose a few unique BMWs?

At first glance, Li Guan’s gift list has many names, but in fact it cannot stand scrutiny. They simply want to use these resources all over the north to exchange for a large amount of silver in the Central Plains.

If they really fulfill their wishes casually, it would be a disaster for raising a tiger and personally brought their Ming family's foundation to the guillotine.

Mr. Pingyang, who has always been a little taciturn in the court, took a step forward, "Why did Li Guan come to Kyoto, why didn't he mention the word "tribute"? It would be fine if he didn't say tribute, but why could he forget about peace and friendship?"

This is a question, but the Marquis of Pingyang did not wait for the other party's answer: "I'm afraid I don't want to surrender, I just wait for the goods to exchange for gold to unify the northern tribes and... to compete for the position of overlord of the Central Plains?"

Ger's face immediately showed panic, and his rough voice sounded: "The Central Plains has a lot of things, we just exchange things for things, absolutely nothing you said..."

Xiurong could no longer listen and interrupted Ger: "I have a vicious eye for goods to trade gold."

Ger is just a sign of nothing. Before leaving, he told him several times that he could say less. If he could, he would say less. The more he described his words, it would be better to find a mute to follow him.

"Your Majesty!" Xiurong put his palm on his chest again and gave a slight gift: "The two countries communicate with each other and get what they need. It's normal, but how can we deceive our superiors and hide our subordinates?"

Li Guan never said from beginning to end that he would be a minister and pay tribute every year.

"Do you mean we are self-indulgent?" Deputy General Yang, a subordinate of General Su, shouted loudly.

Unexpectedly, after they had been stationed in the north for many years, these Hu people had the courage to come to their territory to threaten and clamor.

Yang Pan was so angry that he couldn't help but twitch. In his opinion, countless comrades died in the northern border, just to gain a rare peace for places far away from the war.

He admitted that he had neither the hospitality and ambition of His Majesty nor the mighty heart of the veteran general. All he thought was the word "stability".

Therefore, he didn't want to come to the court today. He would rather stay at home while sick than see his former enemies in the Central Plains.

"Do you know why you have made great achievements in your military, but you can only stop at the position of the deputy general?" Old General Su patted Yang Pan's shoulder with his calloused palms.

Deputy General Yang shook his head and said bluntly: "Is it because Mr. Su, you are the one who is in front of you?" It would be difficult for him to express these four-character idioms.

General Su giggled, but there was a kind shadow of an ordinary old man, and he became more open-minded: "If someone else said this, I would think it was a false statement. But you Yang Pan, I believe it."

The answer has not been revealed yet, and Yang Pan is unable to handle himself.

He has many shortcomings and can't even hold a basket. If he can be a deputy general, he will be the ancestral tomb. Isn't it?

Thinking of this, Yang Pan was a little nervous and a little hopeful. What exactly was the reason that made General Su point it out?

"For generals, this place must be wide." Old General Su poked Yang Pan's heart with his hand, and continued earnestly: "It can beat the enemy to the point of being too fartful, and it can also accept the other party's weakness and seek peace."

It was this conversation that made Yang Pan suppress his unwillingness in his heart. However, the situation in the court changed rapidly, and when he heard Xiurong's words, he finally couldn't help it.

"Deputy General Yang, you go back." Mingye, who was above the high position, finally spoke.

His eyes were circulating, and no one could see the expression in his eyes: "Princess Xiurong, General Geer, you two have something to say."

In the cold northern part, there are now about five tribes of all sizes, and Li Guan is neither the weakest nor the strongest.

However, from their attitude, we can see the current situation in the North.

He answered with a smile, his words were natural, without deliberate pretentiousness, but his words were word by word, meaningful.

I saw her plump figure standing under the steps, with a look of neither humility nor arrogant: "It is true that as Your Majesty said, there are countless people in the north who are in turmoil and have ulterior motives."

She paused and glanced at the officials around her: "If anyone is willing to establish diplomatic relations with Shangbang, will he lose one hostile force? Will he invisibly invest an opportunity to become an ally at any time for the war in the frontier?"

As soon as this statement came out, the hall was terrifyingly quiet. However, Xiurong's words were not finished: "Li Guan is such an opportunity."
