Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

Eight in the morning.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs Building.

Young Master Chu, dressed in military uniform, walked into the solemn and dignified building.

Under the guidance of the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Young Master Chu came to the Shangshu's office.

"Hello, General Chu!"

When Shangguan Yunyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Daxia, saw Young Master Chu being led into the office, he immediately stood up from his office chair, extended his hand enthusiastically, and smiled.

"Hello, Shangguan Shangshu!"

Young Master Chu saluted, smiled and shook hands with Shangguan Yunyi, his dark eyes sizing up the second-rank official in front of him.

This is an elder in his sixties. Although his face is marked by the traces of time, his eyes are full of wisdom and determination. His hair is already gray, but still combed neatly. He is wearing a dark suit, with a tie neatly tied on his shirt, and his cuffs are neat and without a wrinkle.

Young Master Chu was looking at Shangguan Yunyi, and the other's pair of weathered but bright eyes were also looking at Young Master Chu.

"General Chu, please take a seat!"

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Shangguan Yunyi invited Young Master Chu to the reception area.

The secretary respectfully brought two cups of hot tea, gently placed the cups on the glass coffee table in front of him, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

"General Chu, time is short, so I will get straight to the point."

Shangguan Yunyi spoke first: "Regarding the negotiations with the White Elephant Asan Kingdom on the return of territory, I wonder what the rules are in your mind? How do you need my Lifan Department to cooperate?"

Young Master Chu smiled slightly, reached into his jacket pocket and took out the negotiation draft he had written last night, gently placed it on the coffee table in front of Shangguan Yunyi, and pushed it over.

"This is the minimum goal I hastily drafted last night. Please correct me, Shangguan Shangshu."

Shangguan Yunyi took the draft, walked to his desk, put on his glasses, and read it carefully.

Young Master Chu's draft was only a short page, with neat handwriting and concise content. However, as Shangguan Yunyi read it, his expression gradually became solemn, his brows furrowed, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

"General Chu!"

Shangguan Yunyi exhaled lightly, looked up at Young Master Chu, and said slowly with a serious expression: "Is your condition... too harsh?"

Shangguan Yunyi paused, glanced at Young Master Chu, and organized his words: "Based on my many years of diplomatic experience, I don't think the White Elephant Asan Kingdom will agree."

"General Chu, your draft does reflect Daxia's firm stance and inviolable national sovereignty,"

Shangguan Yunyi continued, with a complex emotion in his voice: "But I must remind you that diplomatic negotiations often require finding a balance between compromise and concessions on both sides. An overly tough stance may lead to a breakdown in negotiations and even increase tensions between the two countries."

Young Master Chu picked up the teacup and blew the hot air gently. Hearing this, he looked up at Shangguan Yunyi with a firm gaze and an unquestionable determination in his tone:

"This condition is just my minimum requirement. If we can't get it at the negotiation table, then my Daxia military will go and get it ourselves."

"hiss!"

Shangguan Yunyi took a deep breath, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He put down the draft in his hand and re-examined Young Master Chu. After a long while, he slowly asked, "Is this the military's decision?"

"Not bad!"

Young Master Chu put down his teacup and said with a serious face: "If Singh had not come to Beijing in person, perhaps our army would have recovered all the homeland by now."

"Is the military really ready for a war?"

Shangguan Yunyi's face changed drastically. As the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this was the first time he heard this shocking news.

"Daxia soldiers are always ready!"

Young Master Chu responded in a decisive tone.

The office fell silent.

A trace of worry flashed across Shangguan Yunyi's brows.

Since ancient times, the governing philosophies of Daxia's civil and military officials have been full of contradictions.

As a civil servant, Shangguan Yunyi has always handled affairs with other countries with gentle diplomatic means, trying his best to maintain peace.

He knew very well that the country's prosperity could not be separated from internal and external peace and stability.

Therefore, when he heard that the military was determined to retake the homeland by force, he felt conflicted.

On the one hand, he supports the military's firm stance on the country's territorial integrity; on the other hand, he does not want war and loss of life to result from it.

Shangguan Yunyi gazed at the young, heroic, and energetic face of Young Master Chu, and his solemn expression slowly relaxed.

No matter what, as a descendant of Da Xia, it is our duty to recover our ancestral land.

Moreover, this opportunity was entirely created by the military itself. It is reasonable and understandable that the entire incident was led by the military.

I think that's what godfather meant.

Daxia has been cultivating culture and putting aside military power for decades.

No matter how big a country is, it will perish if it loves war!

However, even if the world is at peace, forgetting war will lead to danger!

The battle between dragon and eagle will come sooner or later!

White Elephant Asan, the guy who calls himself "Liu Chang", can be used as a whetstone.

After figuring this out, Shangguan Yunyi's frown completely relaxed. He took a deep breath and then said softly:

"General Chu, since you are the one leading this negotiation, our Lifan Department will fully support your decision and assist you in successfully completing this task."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, a trace of gratitude flashed in Young Master Chu's eyes. He nodded slightly and said firmly: "Shangguan Shangshu, I, Chu Yuchen, am not an arrogant or unruly person. I will seriously consider your good advice..."

Shangguan Yunyi nodded, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

The door of the office was gently pushed open, and Wu Qingzhu walked in with Shangguan Yunyi's secretary. After she saluted the two, a clear voice rang out: "Report, Dimo ​​and his group have been arranged to the conference room."

Young Master Chu raised his wrist, checked the time, then turned to look at Shangguan Yunyi and said with a smile: "Minister Shangguan, it's almost time, let's go meet Prime Minister Dimo ​​together."

"Okay, General Chu, please!"

Shangguan Yunyi nodded, stood up, and walked out of the office side by side with Mr. Chu. Their figures gradually walked away, leaving the room in silence.

Along the way, the two did not talk much, but just moved forward silently, each of them had deep thoughts in their hearts about the upcoming negotiations.
