According to Qin Rushuang's guess, although King Dayan did not like Da Wanlie's son, he would definitely negotiate terms with Da Qi if the prince was captured.
Although the conditions offered can be called a joke, it also shows his attitude.
In her opinion, the secret letter to Emperor Qi must have been made jealous by someone.
After all, no matter how arrogant King Yan was, he would never ask Da Qi to withdraw his troops, otherwise the whole country would be guilty of such a crime.
The King of Dayan is now in poor health. I heard that the eldest prince of Dayan has full authority to handle government affairs.
This letter, which seemed to redeem Da Wanlie, but actually pushed Da Wanlie into a place of eternal destruction, must have passed through the hands of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince definitely did not want Da Wanlie to return to Dayan Kingdom, and even his final provocation seemed to hasten Da Wanlie's death.
It's just that there is Yu Zaizhong in Dayan Kingdom. Although Yu Zaizhong is struggling alone, he should be able to help Da Wanlie to deal with it.
Within a few days, Qin Rushuang received the news from Dayan.
But this news shocked Qin Rushuang for a long time.
He thought that Yu Zai Zhong would do something to fight for Da Wan Yeol, but he didn't expect that Yu Zai Zhong would do something so ruthless.
The battle for the throne of Dayan ended early.
Because Yu Zaizhong killed the eldest prince.
Qin Rushuang thought that Yu Zaizhong, who was in desperate situation, might do something drastic, but he did not expect that Yu Zaizhong would directly kill the eldest prince!
That is King Dayan’s favorite son, the next emperor of Dayan Kingdom!
I heard that he made an appointment with the eldest prince, drank with him, and pretended to surrender.
The eldest prince was too thoughtful and exchanged wine glasses with him, but he never thought that Yu Zai Zhong was determined to die. Both glasses of wine were poisonous, and Yu Zai Zhong exchanged his own life for the death of the eldest prince.
King Dayan was in mourning and his health was getting worse. He thought about holding Yu Zaizhong accountable, but Yu Zaizhong had been lurking in Daqi for decades and had no relatives for a long time.
Even if you whip the corpse ten thousand times, you can't get the eldest prince's life back.
He only has two sons. The eldest prince is dead. Even if King Yan doesn't like Da Wanlie anymore, he can only redeem him.
Therefore, the conditions offered by King Yan this time are very generous——
They were willing to give up three cities of Dayan in exchange for Wanlie's freedom.
Qin Rushuang touched her chin and looked at the news. This concession was really...
The cities that King Dayan gave up were three very barren cities on the border of Dayan Kingdom. If they were placed in Dayan, Emperor Qi would not look down on them at all, but if he didn't want them...
It's impossible to let Da Wanlie go for free.
Anyway, this condition...
Those who open and give away are not happy, and those who receive are also unhappy.
The news should have been sent back to Kyoto soon. It depends on how Emperor Qi makes his decision.
In the palace.
Emperor Qi has not been in good health recently.
In order to show his filial piety, Xie Yang kept waiting in front of the bed and made a perfect appearance of filial piety.
On this day, he served Emperor Qi as usual, drank medicine and went to sleep. After that, the people around him sent a secret message from the border.
Xie Yang frowned and ordered his men, "Tell someone to drive the carriage over to Grandpa's house."
Xiao Mansion.
Xie Yang rushed to Xiao Yishan's mansion overnight
After meeting Xiao Yishan, Xie Yang respectfully presented the secret message from the border to Xiao Yishan.
Xiao Yishan looked at it for a moment, touched his snow-white beard and said, "I thought that Yu Zaizhong might help Da Wanlie to deal with it, but I didn't expect that he would succeed and the eldest prince would die."
Xie Yang looked a little anxious.
"This Great Yan Kingdom is really useless!"
"I originally thought that they could deal with Xie Xun at the border for a while. Xie Xun is at the border, so far away from the palace. If my father is really... I will be in the imperial city and can seize the throne from the water tower. Xie Xun
It will be easier to deal with over there..."
"I didn't expect that the eldest prince of the Yan Kingdom would disappear like this!"
Xiao Yishan waved his hand and said, "It's understandable. He's too smooth. King Yan has two sons and only loves him. He probably didn't expect to die in such a way."
Xiao Yishan paused, looked at Xie Yang, and asked, "Then King Yan must have redeemed Da Wanlie. Have you got the news? What are the conditions offered there?"
Xie Yang said with a look of disdain, "What other conditions can be offered? The land of Dayan is barren. Is there anything that we, Dayan, don't have? After all, if we want to show sincerity, we can only cede the land."
"It's just this land. They don't want to give it to us. We don't want it yet. It's so far away and the land is barren and the borders are sparsely populated. It's useless to give it to us!"
He brought a cup of brewed tea and handed it to Xiao Yishan respectfully.
"Grandpa, do you have any ideas? It's just a good time to show your face in front of your father through this matter. It's best not to let Xie Xun have an easy time at the border."
Xiao Yishan thought for a long time and said: "If the Yan Kingdom really intends to cede the city, then let's persuade your majesty to agree."
Xie Yang hesitated.
"In my opinion, Qin Rushuang's ability to capture Da Wanlie alive was just a mistake. If he really agrees to them, even though we don't covet this city, it will still be regarded as a victory in the end, and it will be regarded as Xie Xun's.
Achievements, I'm afraid that after he returns to Kyoto..."
Xiao Yishan raised his eyebrows, "What? Are you afraid that you can't compete with him?"
Xie Yang quickly shook his head.
"That's not true, but it's important to be on guard against others! He already has a lot of prestige in the court. Although there are only a few supporters, most officials still admire him from the bottom of their hearts. If he gets this chance again,
This feat, when he returns to Kyoto, he will probably shine so brightly that he will surpass me!"
Xiao Yishan sighed and looked at his grandson.
Still too scheming.
"You, you said that the premise of all this is that he can return to Kyoto."
"What does grandpa mean by this? Please enlighten me."
"Think about it, if the city is ceded... It's autumn now, and the last batch of officials who passed the imperial examination have already taken office in Kyoto. There are no officials who can be sent to the border, and among the border are all his lieutenants, fighting in the war.
It’s okay, but I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to manage the city.”
"If Da Qi really takes over the ceded city, Xie Xun, as the prince, will definitely stay and finish it off. As long as the operation is done properly, it is not impossible to let him stay at the border for a year and a half."
"It would be better if we could keep him at the border completely and not be able to come back... Then it won't be too late to deal with him when you are in charge."
"After much calculation, Dayan ceding the city is the best way to keep Xie Xun at the border and unable to return to Kyoto."
Xie Yang thought for a moment and understood the meaning.
He bowed deeply to Xiao Yishan and said, "Thank you so much, grandpa, for your advice. Grandpa thinks long term!"
"I'm old, and the world will belong to you in the future. As long as you listen to grandpa well, glory and wealth are still to come..."
A trace of greed and ambition flashed in Xie Yang's eyes.
"My grandson knows! My grandson will tell his father tomorrow that if Dayan cedes the city, we will not be dissatisfied with the land!"
Emperor Qi was now addicted to the elixir given to him by Xie Yang and had no interest in political affairs. He also obeyed Xie Yang's words.
A few days later, envoys from the Yan Kingdom arrived, and indeed they ceded three cities.
Seeing that Emperor Qi was a little unhappy, Xie Yang immediately came up with a bunch of rhetoric and flattered him to great effect.
"The former emperor was brave and opened up new territories, and he is still praised by the people a hundred years later. Although my father worked hard to govern, he didn't have so much time to fight in the north and south. Isn't this a good thing? It will also be written in the history books in the future!"
