They are looking forward to it because starting early can end early, and they are panicking because they know they are about to be ripped off, and they will be ripped off very hard.
Finally, Mu Qianyu appeared in a brand new bright red dragon robe, with her hair tied in a bun on top of her head and a golden dragon-shaped crown on top, making her look like a female emperor.
The red robe and gold crown worn on Mu Qianyu didn't look tacky at all, but made her even more dazzling and full of aura. Just sitting there calmly, she had a deep aura that made people dare not look directly at her.
When the four emperors saw Mu Qianyu, who was so glorious and confident, their hearts became even colder. They had never felt that they were useless as emperors, except when they saw Mu Qianyu...
His momentum was crushed in an instant, and he felt a little fear in his heart.
How can we talk if we lose from the beginning?
And Mu Qianyu didn't mean to talk nonsense. After greeting him, he directly laid down the conditions:
"Considering that your national power is about the same, the standards for the peace talks are also unified. Each of them has 300 billion spiritual stones plus the loan of your 500,000-strong army for two years. Please think about it."
"Three hundred billion?"
"You want an army?"
The four emperors were so frightened when they heard this number that they almost lost their lives. This would cost them their lives.
Even if a country's finances are normal, 300 billion is tax revenue for many years, and the debt must be repaid over many years. In this way, they will not be able to develop during the years of repaying the debt, and they will always be in a state of lagging behind and being beaten.
While it is easy to lend out an army of 500,000, it is not so easy to take it back. In two years, there will be too many variables.
"You can rest assured that I am borrowing troops only to build the empire and will never take the initiative to attack you." Mu Qianyu promised.
A few people were cursing in their hearts. Originally, it was impossible for you to occupy any more territory. It would take some time to stabilize an empire. No matter how much land there was, there would probably be no officials and soldiers left.
"Emperor Zhou, 300 billion is too much." Emperor Dayuan said with a bitter look on his face: "I really can't afford it."
"It's hard to figure it out. Dayuan is good at breeding spiritual horses. Ten thousand horses are worth one hundred billion. According to the market price, you can make a lot of money."
"And Emperor Zhao, your ore production, iron ore, copper ore, rock ore can be paid to me at a hundred times the price."
"Emperor Wei, your productivity is very good and you can send a large number of craftsmen to deliver the spiritual stones."
"Your Majesty, your soldiers have fallen into disgrace. I can spare your troops, but the price of 300 billion is already very fair. I can't save any more."
The more the four emperors heard about it, the more they became disheartened. Unique resources were always more precious than spirit stones. If they really sent the resources over, it would be equivalent to hollowing out their own country. This was terrible.
"Emperor Zhou, you have gone too far to deceive others." Emperor Daxing was the first to get angry: "You have killed 700,000 of my people to the point where no bones are left, and now you dare to ask for so much money? Do you really think that I am Daxing?
unmanned?"
Mu Qianyu looked at the furious Emperor Daxing, his eyes always calm: "Did I order you to send an army of 700,000 to the territory of our imperial dynasty?"
"you……"
"It was you who wanted to kill those 700,000 people instead of me. Also, if you are not convinced by my conditions, it's okay, you can only waste your time." Mu Qianyu's voice was also quite relaxed, not angry at all.
"Mu Qianyu, you little woman, you are really evil-hearted." Emperor Daxing was so angry that he cursed in the street.
Naturally, they cannot waste time here. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. The people in the country must have been panicked for the past few days since they were trapped. If they waste any more time, there is no guarantee that ambitious people in the government will launch a rebellion.
Even if no one rebels, the ministers will inevitably establish a new king in order to stabilize the situation. Either way will directly threaten their dominance.
The risk is simply too great.
"Although it doesn't sound good, it's all true." Mu Qianyu said seriously.
She wanted to retort at first, but she was indeed a little woman. As for being evil-hearted, she could barely handle it.
They were just stating the facts, and even if the tone was bad, she had no way to refute it, because it was unreasonable after all.
Emperor Daxing felt like he had been punched on the cotton, and he became even more angry.
"Everyone, think about it slowly. I'll come back after you think about it." Mu Qianyu informed and decided to leave.
"Emperor Zhou, please be patient. Let's discuss this condition again." Seeing that she was really going to leave, the Emperor of Wei hurriedly spoke.
Mu Qianyu had already turned around at this moment, and left behind a message as he walked away: "No objection, either agree or waste it, you make your own choice."
Although these words were said without force, they were extremely domineering. They had never heard that peace talks were not negotiated at all. This was a slap in the face.
The four emperors all turned pale, feeling that this was the darkest moment in their lives.
After Mu Qianyu agreed to the terms, she returned to the palace. The other party had no leverage to negotiate terms with her, and it was only a matter of time before she agreed.
Her idea was right. On the third day after she left, the four countries submitted letters of surrender, which clearly stated the conditions Mu Qianyu requested.
At this time, Mu Qianyu gave them another heavy blow, sending the Minister of Finance to intervene in the finances.
Compared to taking out a large amount of spiritual stones, this would mean losing their sovereignty, but with the army in their territory, they had no choice but to take a step back.
After the agreement was signed, Mu Qianyu did not release them immediately. Instead, he ordered them to split up their troops and leave some of them to disarm and remove their armor, reducing their combat effectiveness to the lowest possible level.
Then the four emperors were released.
The four emperors were so high-spirited when they came, but now they are so downcast.
It truly explains what it means to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Daxia and Dayu, the two dynasties manipulated by Mu Qianyu, had struggled before whether to get involved, drink soup while other dynasties were eating meat, and get rid of Dazhou's control in the future.
However, given that they had been suppressed too hard by Mu Qianyu before, they now had psychological shadow. Although they did not want to give up the opportunity, they still did not send troops immediately.
Their armies had been assembled, and they were waiting for news of the chaos in the imperial dynasty. As a result, they saw the armies of the four dynasties defeated and the emperors of the four kingdoms fleeing.
The emperors of the two countries suddenly felt very happy. Fortunately, they did not go there rashly, otherwise their situation might be worse than that of the four countries now, because the basic national strength was much weaker.
However, this imperial dynasty was held firm by Mu Qianyu, and they were trembling in their hearts, because they were sandwiched between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, and they felt that they were in danger all the time.
Emperor Dayu even put complete surrender on the agenda, summoned all ministers, and continuously discussed the pros and cons of this matter.
