Master Cao, please stay here. I come here this time naturally because of our sincerity. Our Eastern Empire wants to cooperate with your Cao's firm. In the past, there may be some misunderstandings between us. Since it is a misunderstanding If we do, we can resolve this matter. We both sit down and talk about something that cannot be resolved. Your Cao family firm cooperates with the Linghu family. I don't know what conditions the Linghu family promised?Our Eastern Empire imperial family is very sincere. What I said just now, Mr. Cao, must have been empty talk, big talk, and there is no factual basis. Now I can tell our sincerity. The third prince sees Li Tong really going out. He stood up and said, he can't let the big fish in front of him be let go. It's related to the lives of himself and his Laozi. How can he not be sad?

Seeing Li Cong pause, the guy said quickly, Master Cao, our Eastern Empire royal family can be said to be in crisis this time. Even if I don’t say much, you can understand our situation. I know that we are in the middle of the negotiation. Disadvantages, although you are a chamber of commerce and we control the entire empire, I can clearly say that we do not have an advantage in this negotiation. It is different from the last time. Last time we signed the Southern Sea Treaty with you, we Recognizing that you can just harass us at the beach. What can you do about our inland areas?But this time is different from the last time. We can clearly see your strength, just like now. You can't stop our army from going. We need a way out.His Highness the Third Prince said, looking at the current situation, this guy is still telling the truth.

Since people have already begun to bow their heads, we don’t need to look for our own face all the time. Li Cong looked at the three princes in front of him, and he had already forced them to a certain extent, so he just took advantage of the trend. If it is too much to make the other party anxious when the fish is dead, it is Li that regrets it. Tong she will not let things be done to that extent, because that would not benefit Li Cong.It is impossible to betray the Linghu family.Li Cong himself knows very well, but if you want to pass these ten days, delaying time during negotiations is much better than other things, and Li Cong has already thought of a win-win solution.It can also preserve the Linghu family.It can also make oneself obtain huge benefits.It can also give the court enough face, so why not do things that benefit all three parties?At least much better than the current state of war.

Your Royal Highness, I know all these things you said.Negotiations between us have also started on this basis. Our Cao’s house is a peace-loving organization. In normal times, I am fine and will not provoke any changes. On the contrary, if there is a war in a region, we will still Will play a role of mediation to end this war, just like now, the Linghu family and your court can be said to be incompatible with each other, but if you have me, there is hope for peace. I will definitely put this Things went well and satisfied both of you. Li Tong thought for a while and said. His words surprised the three princes. He used to say that Li Tong must have the lion open his mouth, but he did not expect that he would say it. In this case, this is nothing more than a scene. It means "peace" and I did not misheard these two words.

Your imperial family is at war with the Linghu family. I know that the face of your imperial court has suffered losses, including some other things. Now what you want is to cut the Linghu family out of the grass. It is best to kill them all. Yes, but I hope you can see now that if your court wants to wipe out the Linghu family, you will pay a lot of price. At least your price is already very high now. The Eastern Empire has not entered for a long time. After the state of war, I have seen the impact on the entire empire after entering the state of war. I don’t need to say more about these things. I have a very good idea. I don’t know if you will consider it. I lower my head and think about it. Said, he also had an idea to turn this passive negotiation into an active one, and it would be profitable if it could be resolved.

If Master Cao has any ideas, you can just say it straight. I'm here to solve problems. I heard that Master Cao always likes to go straight when solving problems. Although I don't like such things, I still want to listen to things like this. Listening to Master Cao’s suggestion, what is better than our Eastern Empire?The world says that Master Cao’s method of solving problems is top-notch, and this thinking is not something that ordinary people can catch up with. Today, it really deserves its reputation. I came to ask Master Cao to ask for some requirements that our Eastern Empire could not agree to. Adults have their own opinions and admire them very much. Flattering things can be done, especially flattering people who need to ask for it. This kind of thing can be said to be taught without a teacher, and the three princes in front of them are like this. In one situation, he never wanted to flatter others, but now he has to do it.

Your Royal Highness really praised him. In fact, I am an ordinary person, but I have traveled more places, I have seen more people, and I have seen more things. You can sum up these things and bring your own. There will be a little more in mind. The Yan Xiang Linghu family is also very happy. I don’t tell lies in front of you. In fact, they retreated to their fief, and the loss was very huge. Now the Linghu family’s power is less than the original Liucheng. Their power in the capital and all over the country has lost too much. It took tens of thousands of years to manage these, but it took only half a year to lose them. Enough, these fiefs where they can't give up, they will definitely resist desperately. The first thing Li Tong wants to say is the determination of the Linghu family to resist. Everyone will do this at the moment of life and death. The third prince also nodded.

I also said just now that it’s okay for you to destroy them. Even if the Cao’s family firm helps him with all their strength, they will only delay their elimination and it is impossible to change the real result, but as far as I know. The interior of the Eastern Empire is not very stable, if you put all your energy in such a region.Then you may lose the overall situation. Can you find a balance between the two sides so that both sides can meet their own requirements, and then the entire empire can be well? When Li Tong said this, he was also observing the three princes. His complexion, seeing that his complexion has not changed, I know that this method is very likely to be successful. It's a coincidence that you are observing words and colors. It is still very easy to deal with such a stinky guy. Yes, I just don't know this little fool.What's in my mind.Do you really want to drink too much, or do you use this to achieve what purpose?

What Master Cao said is really right. Now that we have reached this point, I will not hide it.The imperial court cannot support it now.My father's brothers in the capital are all about to move.When my father ascended to the throne, he also experienced hardships. The biggest difficulty facing us now is not the country’s counter-insurgency.It’s the question of my father’s prestige. He must end this war beautifully and quickly. Our original idea was this. I didn’t promise that Cao’s family firm could be fully integrated within the Eastern Empire. To develop your business, the condition is that your Cao family firm does not intervene in the matter between the sins committed by the Eastern Empire to the Linghu family. I know this will not work anymore, but if I speak out, it can be used as a basis for mediation. His Royal Highness said frankly, his words gave Li Tong a glimmer of hope, this guy is indeed not simple.

In fact, I have also said that Linghu and I are very good friends. When I do things, I value my interests, but sometimes the relationship between friends is more important than my interests. Power and money are on my own. It is obtained through hard work, but the friendship between friends depends on talent, and luck depends on some other things that we can’t grasp. Just like now, aren’t we friends too?We were still fighting on the battlefield just now, but now we are here to talk and drink, which shows that we have something in common. You want to end the war with dignity. The Linghu family wants a place to survive. This can be resolved for both parties. I have such a discussion. After Li Cong poured a glass of water for the third prince, this is also an aspect of expressing his sincerity.

Of course, we are very clear about the friendship of Master Cao. I am also a person who values ​​love and righteousness. Everyone in the whole mainland knows this very clearly. The three princes smiled and said, he did not know that Li Tong said this. What does it mean?It seems that the entire empire is really going to hemorrhage. It may be even more than the requirements that came out just now. But now the Eastern Empire is really at a more dangerous time. To be precise, it is not that the Eastern Empire has reached a more dangerous time. The time is his father, and their princes have reached a more dangerous time. If the war cannot be ended quickly, it is really hard to say what they will become in the future, so they must come well. To do these things, do this thing well to make everything possible.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Three Princes really praised me too much. In fact, it's nothing. Sometimes I am a little more nosy. This kind of thing also makes many people hate it. Okay, we are superfluous. Let’s not talk about it. Can we talk about our affairs now? My thoughts are like this. You need to go down a step. You need to give some explanations to the people in the capital. Your Majesty must give it to yourself. Just to explain the face, you who are princes must also guarantee this place now, can you do that? Now the Linghu family has 100 provinces, but now they are willing to give up 25 provinces. , And you can directly attack these places. Even if you fought here, we can completely fight a fake war, but you must leave the remaining dozens of provinces to the Linghu family. In history, such counter-insurgency has some, and it doesn’t end all at once. I don’t think the empire’s high-level officials need to say anything. The empire’s pens are very powerful, and they are also very good at talking. Yes, it is very easy for them to do this. Simply put, the Linghu family uses a quarter of their land in exchange for the current peace, in exchange for their family’s continued survival, I I feel that this method is okay." Li Cong thought for a while and said, the third prince also looked at Li Cong in surprise.I really didn't expect that Li Cong would offer such a condition. Isn't this guy afraid that the court will move on immediately after acquiring so much land?At that time, it was not the time now. As long as the court won such a victory, their confidence would increase greatly. It is hard to say what the situation will really be.

"Master Cao, please forgive me. I've seen some things, and I can't say that I have never seen someone in the world, but I was really in vain when I talked to Master Cao for such a long time. , Master Cao can also think of such a thing. It really is a talent. If our empire has a talent like Master Cao, I think the entire continent will be ours. Master Cao is still a magical genius that has not been produced for tens of thousands of years. It's really enviable to speak of it." The guy said admiringly.At least half of this statement is true.This is no wonder.His words are indeed like this, and Li Cong is indeed very enviable, but Li has never been criticized by his words.He knew that this guy would definitely have the following words, and now the most important thing is to listen to the following words, not these flattering words, he is not listening to these words, an empire's prince will definitely have some of his own For opinions, that's what Li Cong needs now. He didn't expect the guy in front of him to agree to it, because he was the one who came to the front stand. Even if they didn't agree, Li Cong would not suffer. At least this A few hours passed so smoothly. At the beginning, I promised to keep people in the city for ten days. Isn’t these few hours also very important? It’s also very cost-effective to save it on my own lips. .

"I'm very satisfied with this discussion about Master Cao, but as you know, the power structure of the Eastern Empire is much larger than that of the other three empires. Don't say I am a root without a title. The prince, even if I’m the prince today, I can’t express my opinion on such a thing. Can Master Cao talk to the Linghu family once? Although they will teach a city to manage it, I think it’s not so easy for the Linghu family to give up on dozens of provinces. Just now, they said that this is their last place. It’s impossible for them to give up.” It turned out that this kid didn’t believe Li. From now on, they have such rights, and they are indeed the same. In any case, the Linghu family was once half a royal family, and it was also the largest thing in this empire. How could it be possible to hand over its destiny to an outsider? It seems to them that Li Cong is nothing more than the role of a housekeeper. Now he is in charge of the master. These things are a bit unreasonable. It is also very normal to say that Li Cong is not believed. All are correct.

"Hehe, it is normal for His Royal Highness to have this idea. I am indeed the person who the Linghu family invited to defend this city. However, my relationship with Young Master Linghu is also very close. I talked to him once, now that he is the ruler of the Linghu family, you can rest assured about this. My words are his words. The person who signed with you in the end is not mine, because after all, I am an outsider, you It’s a family. We’ll discuss what we have and let them sign.” Li Cong said with a smile. His words made the third prince understand that the entire Linghu family seemed to be doing things for Li Cong. His feeling was also very uncomfortable. After all, the Linghu family belonged to the royal family before, and this guy is also in the same family. What does Li Cong mean by saying this?Say he can control the Linghu family?Will be able to control the royal family in the future?It’s also uncomfortable for anyone to change this, but this guy’s city mansion is still very okay. He didn’t continue to say anything about Li Cong’s words, nodded, he should go back, and the other person’s words are based on himself. I know, what should I do? This is beyond my control. I am a microphone. Let Li Cong talk to the Emperor of the Eastern Empire for specific matters. The two of them are the most capable of making decisions. Don't mix yourself up.

"Okay, since Master Cao said that, I will go back and reply to my father. To be honest, my right now is to know these things. If I want me to be the master, it is absolutely impossible. Yes, I have my father and princes above me, there are so many princes, I am just a prince without a title." This guy said twice that he has no title.Li Cong is also a sensible person. It seems that the guy in front of him needs his own help. No matter when, these two people or two organizations need to cooperate. Now the relationship Li Cong wants can be It's not a relationship with the Linghu family or the royal family alone. All local relationships are the next step of Cao's business. This is the most important thing.

"His Royal Highness, this is only temporary. In the future, I believe there will be many opportunities for His Royal Highness to get all of this. I have some good things on my side recently. The two of us are so congenial. We will give it to His Royal Highness. I hope you can like it. I heard that His Royal Highness is an archer. It’s a coincidence. The best thing I have made in the Cao family business is these magic arrows. I hope I like them." Li Cong delivered it after he finished speaking. A small space ring.The value of this thing alone was more than 300 million silver, and the faces of the third prince were surprised, even without those magic arrows.This guy’s heart was also very shocked. It seems that he didn’t come in vain this time. Although he has a two cubic meter space ring, who in this world will dislike this thing too much, so many people don’t have it. Although the value of such a thing is 300 million silver, you can take out 300 million silver and see if anyone has called you for this?That is absolutely impossible, unless that is a fool.

"Master Cao, don't worry. According to the statement, Ke Ke and I are both friends, and we are peace-loving people. I will take care of these things." This guy smiled and took Li Cong's things from this moment. At the beginning, Li Cong had his own person at the top of the Eastern Empire. As long as this person is an ambitious person, as long as he wants to be on the throne, then things will be easier to handle in the future, and he is scared. It's just that this guy is a mediocre person. If that's the case, Li Congke will have nothing to use. For this guy, he can only shook his head helplessly. We have done this very badly.

"This thing my wife did is a right bet. The three princes in front of you will regard you as a backer after returning. He is very clear about his own status in the country. Many people say He has a chance to inherit His Majesty the Emperor, he will not know, but in the game, he himself knows that His Majesty has high hopes for that Thailand. If the Emperor has a love for a woman in this life, it is the Prince’s. Mother, yes, the mother of the prince is gone. No one helps her to take care of her in the harem, but he is the crystallization of the mother of the emperor and the prince. The reason why the prince can wait in this position For such a long time, that is, relying on the love of His Majesty the Emperor. If you want to get to that position, you have to go another way, and you cannot hope that His Majesty will change his mind.

His Royal Highness is a very tolerant character. In the past, many people wanted to support him ascending the throne, but this guy did not accept the support of those people, because he knew that those people had no strength to support him. If you don’t say anything else, I’ve met with Li Cong today. This is a huge gain. If you want to be crowned prince, you must have your own people in the court. If you want to get these people, you must give them benefits, senior officials. , Hou Lu, these things need to be given to them by themselves, and these all need money, but where the silver comes from, where do I have so much money, I am a prince without a title, and looks good on the surface , If the emperor didn’t give himself a chance in his life, then he would go, then he would give one to him. Now it makes no difference. Are there still few men like this in the capital?

This guy was thinking about this problem along the way. He finally got an opportunity like this. Of course he wouldn’t let Li Tong lose that way. He had to give Li Tong confidence, and he had to let his backstage watch. Only when he has hope. Suddenly he thought of the proposal Li Tong made. It can be said that he has gained a great deal from going back this time. He knows very well that His Majesty the Emperor might agree to this proposal, but many people will also. To achieve this, they believed that a great empire in the East Empire would not be able to bow to a rebel army, even if part of the territory is returned, most of the land is not injured by the Linghu family. ?In that case, they would still be unwilling. His Majesty's face still hadn't been fully recovered, and it would be a shame for them to be able to recover part of it.All I have to do is to convince her that she will not agree to this condition.

The conservative people in the court are also very powerful. They have some conservative ideas in their minds. It is not that simple to want them to agree to their own arguments. Of course, it is not impossible. , If they don’t agree, a cold light flashes in the eyes of the third prince. He touched his newly acquired space ring. There are a lot of better magic arrows inside. If you don’t agree, I will take your heads. Just cut off.If you have no life, you have no mouth to express your opinions.At that time, she could do whatever she wanted. Then go to the underworld to do your thing. I don’t know how the people who become big things are so cruel, how can they be the prince. No How can the position of the prince become the emperor himself?Among so many princes, they have done this step by themselves. It can be said that they have worked very hard.

His Majesty, the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, can be said to be eager to see.She very much hopes that her son can bring good news to herself.Does he know how many sons he has?That's impossible. Of course, she can't be blamed for this matter, but his harem is so huge.When he was the prince, he had hundreds of wives. Now this number has increased hundreds of times. After becoming the emperor, new people will come in every year. A certain wealthy businessman can quickly sacrifice his family when he becomes the emperor. This is a very normal thing for the girls in your own family. His Majesty the Emperor will not show any mercy to him. It is a very normal thing that your family can quickly sacrifice the girls in your own family, the emperor. Your Majesty will not have any mercy on him, only after you give birth to the prince or after the princess, you will have your own position in the palace.

There may be thousands of sons. His Majesty the Emperor suddenly thought of this at this moment. Some sons have never seen him once since they were born. This father is really a failure. It seems to outsiders that the Emperor is Ruthless, but she herself knows these things best. She has so many sons and daughters, and wherever she has time to pick them up, if everyone is very close to herself, no one will take care of this imperial event. Just go back to take care of the little things at home, but for most of the grown-up sons, he still chooses to suddenly two more capable ones, one is His Royal Highness, and the other is the Three Princes in front of him. Both of these sons When I was young, I was very alike. I was able to ascend to the throne when I was able to survive in the army. Those brothers were not fuel-efficient lamps. He also wanted to see these two sons in the end. How did it do?Others say that they prefer His Royal Highness. Actually, they don’t prefer His Royal Highness at all. They can be said to be very sympathetic to the Prince's mother. The woman’s policy to change the empire was achieved. Her most powerful competitor back then was her mother-in-law. I still remember that when my father was dying, he said that if there is no competition, then you will wear off your spirit. , Even if you can successfully become the emperor, you don’t have the fighting power anymore. Without that thought, you will definitely be eaten by others after you become the emperor. Now, the emperor arranges the prince to give the three princes. In the struggle, only the one who comes out of strong competition and strong disputes is a competent emperor and can hand over the empire to him.It can be said that the empire is in danger. It is very difficult for His Royal Highness to work here in the capital. His Majesty the Emperor knows very well that the strength in the capital is already ready to move even when this war has not started. The big family handled by His Majesty, but he himself has no way to touch some hidden forces within the royal family. On the surface, those palaces have driven out their sons, but those princes are really so obedient. ?That's impossible because people in the royal family are really not ambitious?

For so many years, it is only in the era of peace that they have seen their obedience. Once there is such a war, they first think that they can come to power. If a few people unite, they may have forces against the court. For these royal families As far as children are concerned, they will have no future if they don't struggle. They may be tired of eating, drinking and having fun.

The greatest power is what they are pursuing now. If it weren't for them to do one after another, the Emperor would not have thought of compromising with the Linghu family.In his opinion, the compromise of these Linghu family members is a very failed choice, but he has no other choice now. If this war can be ended quickly, it would be good that he can bring a loud voice. The only way to return to the capital is, but it is too difficult to end this war. Now that we have lost nearly 20 million people, if we continue to fight, we still don’t know how much we will lose?I don’t know how many cities are in front of my eyes. Although not every city will eat so many people, after calculation, if you want to use force to recover the land of the Linghu family, it has brought it. All these troops have to die here.

The small scroll is one-fifth of the entire Eastern Empire. If you continue to serve as a soldier, it will have a serious impact on the power of the entire Eastern Empire. It is the emperor of the Eastern Empire that shakes the foundation and shakes the country. I would never do that.If he did a bag of problems inside the empire, he wouldn't have enough power to solve those problems. In the end, he would leave sadly.I will leave this world sadly. This is definitely not what he wants. The other three empires are also staring at them and they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Although the war for them a while ago has ended, the two sides have been injured by the quarrel. The matter is resolved. Short-term cooperation and everyone are on the same road. If there is one less empire, the other emperors are very willing to see. Who wants to have one more person in this world who is on his own?

Your Majesty, the Three Princes are back.You are 500 meters away from Daying.But want him to come in and talk to you?An eunuch next to him interrupted the emperor's thoughts.When His Majesty heard that his son had returned, his first thought was not about his son's safety, but what news he had brought from Li Cong Li and Tong Li?It should be negotiated, right?Otherwise, he would not come back so quickly.He hurriedly asked the eunuch to go out and called the three princes. Now he wanted to know that he was too tormented. From becoming the emperor to the present, he has never played such a thing that way. It was a kind of torment. I could master the whole world before, but now he can't master anything.

I saw the emperor father and the son came back, and the three princes came in and gave the emperor’s luggage. This is the time when these tedious etiquettes are unnecessary. The emperor waved his hand to get it up and said eagerly. What on earth did Bian get that Li Cong did anything too much?If that’s the case, please tell me as soon as possible. Let me see if we can take care of them. His Majesty’s voice is already very urgent, and the three princes can already tell from his voice, his Mentality, when the emperor has been for a lifetime, the most important thing is not to let others fail to see his own state of mind. This was given to them when the emperor took their son when they were very young, but now he can't help it. His Majesty the prince took a surprised look at his father. It is indeed like this now. He is already messed up. It seems that this matter can succeed.

To get the support of Li Cong, he had to make this thing happen. If this thing cannot be done, it will prove that his three princes are useless with a root and such a useless person. How could Li Cong deal with it? He looked at it differently, and he would not support this guy to get the throne. Now it is easy for someone who can support him to appear. The third prince will not give up this person who supports him. He absolutely must do this thing. His Royal Highness the third prince was thinking now. He sorted out his thoughts, thought about some of what Li Tong said, and then figured out in his own heart what to say, so that his father could accept this matter. This is now. The main thing?He glanced at the people in this room. They were all the more important people in the court. It's better to tell the truth, don't bring too many decorations, they are all human beings who can't hide from them.

Your Majesty, this time I went to sit with Li Cong of Cao’s House of Business for a while. The man made a condition, which was not what we thought before. His condition was that we end the current war. He had no other thoughts. What to get, the powerful family wants to exchange for our truce, they will take out their current quarter of the territory in exchange for our retreat, they will also call our subjects and pay tribute, and promise not to form an empire, even if Our court's punishment of the Linghu family, that area is still talking about the territory of our Eastern Empire, don't know how the Emperor feels like this?The third prince said it. Many of the things he thought in his heart were things that did not get the consent of President Li. If Li Cong's words are brought out, there will definitely be a 50% chance that they will not be accepted, but now It's not the same. This condition is so euphemistic, it should be acceptable!

Many people in the court heard the three princes talking about these things, and they were whispering one by one. They recognized this as an acceptable condition. After all, most of the people didn’t know that the Linghu family was a rebel, so they reduced it. In the 25 provinces, the emperor has punished them to a certain extent. If this does not quell the anger within the empire, then the war can only be continued. Now let’s see if we continue to fight. It is very unwise. Not only that, but they also don’t have the strength to continue fighting, unless it is to shake the country. After listening to her, the emperor’s face will remain the same, but the three princes’ His Majesty Tong's eyes caught a trace. Even the Emperor felt that this method was possible. Compared with the dozens of provinces on the front line, the power in the capital was the most important thing.

His Majesty the Emperor is weighing all of this, what should he do, just retreat after gaining 25 kung fu?Isn't that a bit unfinished? Isn't this thing too imperfect?The emperor’s things have been perfect since he was a child. Isn’t it different now from before?Is he still an emperor now?How can he think about so much when he does things? Why do he have to think about so much? He really thinks about the time before, when he didn't need to think about so much.(To be continued...)
