Tai Chi Temple.

Li Er couldn't wait to call all civil and military officials to gather in the main hall, ready to take a good look at the treaty drafted by Du He.

Li Er said with a smile on his face: "My dear friends, when it comes to negotiating with Dongying, Du He has done a great job. I have already had many copies copied. Let's all follow me to have a look. I am also very happy." I want to know how simple Du Heti's condition is, but Su Woyazi agreed without hesitation!"

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, if Du He's conditions for Dongying are not painful, what should we do? It is impossible for Dongying to learn a profound lesson, and it will lose the original intention of negotiation!"

"My lord Changsun is right. Any negotiation between the two countries must be fierce. You come and go, it's extremely fierce! But Fang Caichen waited on the shore to see clearly, Su Woyazi didn't say anything, and signed the agreement very happily. The treaty, according to Yichen, this treaty must be very simple!"

"At the beginning, the treaty should be reviewed by the Ministry of Rites. It is best to let His Majesty read it. Although Huyi County Duke is a good negotiator, he is too young, not prudent, not prudent!"

"Yeah, it's too young. Instead of letting Dongying learn a lesson, it will make Su Woyazi laugh at our Tang Dynasty for being stingy!"

Everyone said something to each other, but they all thought that this negotiation was too smooth, and it took less than a stick of incense time, it was too hasty, and they didn't pay attention to it at all, and Su Woyazi signed the contract so readily, it must be Du He The conditions mentioned are too simple.

Hearing this, Li Er regretted handing over the negotiation to Du He.

He pondered and said: "Okay, dear friends, since I have decided to let Du He take full control of this matter, it is useless to regret it now, Xuanling, distribute the copied treaty to everyone!"

Fang Xuanling immediately ordered people to bring up dozens of copies of the treaty and distribute them to the ministers.

The original copy of the treaty was handed over to Li second-hand.

Everyone picked it up and saw four large characters written on the cover: Bahe Treaty!

Bahe Treaty?

This treaty was signed on the Bahe River, so there is nothing to say.

Everyone opened the content one after another.

Chen Shuda said: "Oh, I knew that the conditions proposed by Du He were too simple. The negotiation between Datang and Dongying only consisted of half a piece of paper. ..."

Chen Shuda screamed suddenly, his expression was like seeing a ghost.

Chapter 642 Fight to Fame

Seeing this, the people next to him looked curious, and just about to ask Chen Shuda what happened, when they lowered their heads and saw the content of the "Bahe Treaty", they were also stunned.

For a moment, the entire Tai Chi Hall was extremely silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Everyone's expressions were surprisingly consistent, and they were all dumbfounded.

A jaw-dropping one!

The maids and eunuchs next to her were also dumbfounded.

These ministers have never seen anything before, and it is common for them to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, but what happened to each of them now?Why such an exaggeration?

Looking at His Majesty again, he has the same expression!

Is this really the hell?

half an hour.

"hiss……"

There was a sound of breathing in the hall.

"This……"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't speak.

Li Er asked: "My dear friends, what do you think of the "Bahe Treaty", is the punishment too light?"

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Du He, you are too ruthless. This is not a treaty. It is clearly intended to subjugate Dongying. 500 million yuan is not much for Tang Dynasty, but Yichen is not a big deal for Dongying." As far as I know, the annual tax of Dongying is only about 100 million guan, which is the tax of Dongying for five years!"

"My lord grandson, what are taxes? From now on, all the emperors of Dongying need His Majesty's consent to ascend the throne. This seems to be nothing, but if His Majesty does not approve of a newly enthroned emperor, and Dongying still forcibly ascends the throne, our Tang Dynasty You can send troops to attack Dongpu!"

"500 million guan, bowing your head and bowing your head is already ruthless enough. I didn't expect that 40% of the profits from Dongying's transaction with Datang would be handed over to Datang for free. This means that Datang will have a continuous source of income in the future. Ah, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already calculated that in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the trading profit between Dongying and Datang is about [-] guan, which is almost half of Dongying's domestic taxes, so Dongying has been actively cooperating with Datang over the years. Tang trade, [-]% of it, that is [-] guan, [-] guan, enough to spend a year in the court and Chang'an..."

……

Suddenly, someone from Yushitai jumped out: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I think that Du He's actions really hurt the face of the Tang Dynasty. China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. I pay attention to convincing people with virtue and treating others generously. Now Du He, the Duke of Huyi County, actually forced Dongying to sign such a power-threatening and humiliating treaty. What is the difference between this and a robber? It is a robber, a thief. If Datang recognizes this treaty, how will Datang convince the public? Public outrage, Your Majesty, think twice! Especially the last one, Dongying pays tribute to our Datang one hundred young women every year, how do we arrange these girls? Is my Datang going to force young girls into prostitution and put all these girls in Pingkang Fang? "

"Master Zhang is right. This treaty is too harsh. As Master Changsun said, this is to force Dongying to destroy the country!"

"Seconded!"

"My minister agrees!"

Immediately, more than a dozen people jumped out to accuse.

Yang Yuhua finally seized the opportunity and said angrily: "Your Majesty, if you accept this treaty, then those states that have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty will all rebel. At that time, all these small countries will unite. Many generals, but two fists are no match for four hands, when the time comes, how will it end?"

"Yes, Master Yang is right!"

"In this matter, Dongpu's resistance is second. I'm afraid that other countries will resist and even rise up against Datang. At that time, it will be troublesome!"

"Seconded!"

Situ Wanggui said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think that you must guard against what your lords said. If small countries such as Goguryeo, Nanzhao, and Uighur know the content of this treaty, they will definitely resist to the end. It will not end well at that time. I implore Your Majesty to think twice, destroy this treaty, and send an old and prudent minister to renegotiate with Su Woyazi and sign another treaty!"

"Support Wang Situ!"

"Wang Situ is right!"

There are quite a few supporters of Wang Gui. At present, many people stand up and support Wang Gui.

At this moment, a guard rushed in and said, "I report to Your Majesty, the envoys from Goguryeo, Nanzhao, and Uighur, a total of eighteen countries, all gathered at the gate of the imperial city, saying that they have something important to see Your Majesty!"

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone panicked.

Does this mean that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive?

An official from the Ministry of Rites said: "Your Majesty, this treaty has probably been circulated in the process of copying. Now that so many envoys from small countries are gathered together, they must come to oppose this treaty!"

Li Er was not flustered, his expression was normal, he waved his hand: "Let them in!"

Not long after, envoys from eighteen small countries came to the Tai Chi Hall in a mighty manner and saluted Li Er one after another.
