After Pei Zhang Xi received the news that the emissary from the Zhao empire had arrived, he immediately returned to the palace. And found that all the generals as well as the ministers had been in the palace after being summoned by Emperor Pei An Long.
After delivering his message. The war envoys did not go home immediately but waited for a decision from Emperor Pei An Long because they had great confidence that seeing the magnitude of the power they had, they had, The Shao Empire would definitely not dare brandish a weapon at them. At this moment, they waited at the resting place and relaxed there.
Inside the hall of the Court this time the atmosphere was extremely tense. The officials began to argue over their decision to choose to agree to the enemy's request and become an empire that was under the control of the Zhao Empire's control or they would fight against the Zhao Empire to defend their sovereignty.
Pei Zhang Xi came at the time the war envoy from the Zhao Empire relayed their demands. He was so angry that he could hardly resist beheading the arrogant messenger. He was just a lowly envoy. He even dared to say that Lu Jing Yu was not worthy of him and was simply not comparable to their daughter. Does he know what? Who is he to say whatever is in his heart!
But indeed usually a war envoy had an arrogant temperament and looked down on anyone. Because when they become war messengers to the kingdom that has less power than them, in order to keep the condition stable and awake, they would treat her very well like they treated an honored guest.
However, even though it seems like the status of a war envoy is very prestigious and has a lot of income, but their risk is also not playful. If their enemy did not accept, his head could be sent to the Shao Empire and be the reply of the enemy that they chose to fight.
Pei Zhang Xi was still trying to be placated by Mo Han and Pei Qin Yang when he heard some ministers put forward their opinions which further enraged him.
"Your Majesty, their request is indeed outrageous. How could they ask for some areas that are in our territory just like that? They think those areas are just a piece of cake torn up? But even if we fight them, it seems like we will be greatly outnumbered given the number of their troops which amounted to five times the number of our troops. What if we make an offer?" Minister Jun expressed his opinion.
"What Minister Jun said was right. If we fight back, the impact will definitely be very bad, right? Making an offer with their side was the right choice." The other minister nodded his head.
"Your Majesty, please order me to be the envoy to the Zhao Empire to conduct negotiations." A minister came forward and bowed his body.
"Minister Zhu has already agreed to become a negotiating envoy. If minister Zhu, the negotiations will go smoothly. That way we can survive the danger of this terrifying war." A minister looks very happy. His previously tense face was not visible at all at this moment.
"Ooh.... Looks like you guys made a deal. Real nice. I don't know if my ministers have progressed this far." Sindir Pei An Long lazily on his seat of greatness. His face seemed unhappy at all.
"Please forgive your servant Your Majesty." All the ministers immediately knew their mistake and apologized by prostrating themselves on the floor.
"Huh! Already have. You can wake up now." Emperor Pei An Long let out a long sigh. He moved the position of his body which made these ministers tremble in fear.
"Negotiation can be done. But tell me what are we going to offer them as a consideration? As for their will, nothing is easy." Emperor Pei An Long looked at everyone. They were talking about negotiating, but negotiating with what?
"Your Majesty, isn't their last demand that they want the position of Crown Princess for their daughter?" Minister Jun said the intention he had been nurturing since the beginning. After all, if the one who became the Crown Princess was no longer Lu Jing Yu, wouldn't it be impossible to include the daughter of her family? Just waiting for time.
However Emperor Pei An Long had yet to respond when a loud buzzing sound rang out from the front. The place where Pei Zhang Xi sat. He looked at Minister Jun sharply and full of anger. "If you dare to say it again!" Challenge Pei Zhang Xi while appointing minister Jun.
"Please forgive Your Majesty's servant. But now I think this solution is the most suitable to choose. Having a Princess from the Zhao Empire was also not a bad thing. Given the marriage relationship between the two Empires, the peace between the two Empires would be well preserved. Isn't that how it is? The current Crown Princess is only from the Ministerial family, compared to Imperial Princess Zhao, isn't her status already well discernible? Being a concubine is not a bad thing either. As long as it can win His Majesty's Heart, it will still gain his affection. " Said Minister Jun with a smile. Convince everyone of what he says. He even dared to look into the eyes of Prime Minister Lu who looked very angry. How could he possibly accept if his daughter was treated in such an unfair manner like this!
"In addition, if we insist on fighting them, no one guarantees that we will win. And if they lose the war, it is not only those territories that they control but the whole empire. Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty's discretion to prioritize the interests of the Shao Empire over the interests of His Majesty's Person." He continued while looking at Emperor Pei An Long with a hopeful look.
He had great confidence that this proposal was a good proposal. Especially if this negotiation ends well. Since she was the one who proposed this negotiation, wouldn't the Princess From the Zhao Empire have a good look at her and it would be easier to include the daughter from her family to become a concubine in the future?
By this time one of his nephews had become one of the Emperor's concubines, if any other maiden entered the palace again and even became the concubine of the Crown Prince who would later inherit the throne, wouldn't the future of his family be assured in the future?
"If you think being a concubine is a good thing, why don't you ask all the girls in your family to be concubines in the Zhao empire? Isn't this what you want Minister Jun?" Pei Zhang Xi's words silenced Minister Jun's mouth which was almost frothy after spewing nonsense earlier.
