Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1112
“What a great country.”
Rod exclaimed sincerely, Brook and Henry looked complicated, and they had a foreboding what would happen next.
The car continued to speed, and fifteen minutes later, the convoy stopped at the gate of the imperial city.
At this time, the envoys still got off the bus with some intentions. The comfort and speed of the car left a deep impression on them.
If possible, they are willing to continue to take a car in Qingzhou Rao.
“Everyone, please!” Tang Wenjie made a please gesture, and everyone followed him into the palace and walked along the winding road for ten minutes, and they arrived at a beautiful garden.
Here, hundreds of flowers bloom, and bees and butterflies stomped, like a paradise.
Long tables have been set up in the square in the garden. The court ladies and eunuchs are setting up tableware. The Cabinet Minister and Xiao Ming are already waiting here.
There is no doubt that this negotiation is also very important to the empire, because it means how much oil and water the empire can squeeze out of Europe.
“His Majesty!”
Under Tang Wenjie’s guidance, he went to Xiao Ming, and Luo Luo saluted him to show his respect, and the other envoys followed Luo Luo to make the same actions.
“Hahaha… everyone, please sit down.”
Xiao Ming laughed heartily and motioned everyone to go to the table. Although he was a winner, he still had to do it with his polite appearance.
As for you and me at the negotiating table, it’s a different matter.
Everyone was seated, and the dishes were served one by one. Pang Yukun and other cabinet ministers immediately used the empire’s wine table culture to routinely pour wine on Rod and others.
Noon is just a mere luncheon, not a time for negotiation. After all, when you want to talk, you need to talk at home.
But it would be great if these messengers were drunk and swallowed the truth.
The enthusiasm of the cabinet ministers of the Eastern Empire made Brook and Henry a little flattered, after all, the losers in the war will always be aggrieved.
It’s just that they don’t understand that they are being caught.
After drinking for three rounds, Rod and the others were all drunk under the ravages of high-concentration liquor, and their tongues bend when they spoke.
Seeing everyone swaying around, Xiao Ming winked at Pang Yukun. The ministers knew it and immediately took the envoys to leave. Of course, they did not forget to take the trump card of the negotiation.
Everyone left, leaving the table full of chaos. At this time, a sixteen-year-old boy stood up from his seat.
It is Xiao Yi.
“Emperor Father, why bother with these defeated warriors and just show the conditions of the empire?”
Xiao Ming glanced at Xiao Yi, and before he knew it, Xiao Yi had slowly grown up. Now, the sixteen-year-old Xiao Yi is already studying at Qingzhou University. In two years, he will be able to graduate and formally handle some Prince-related affairs.
“I remember telling you that affairs between countries must not be chaotic on the basis of their temperament. A Japanese country can cause many moths, not to mention having half-footed into civilized Europe. It is simple to make these envoys ugly. But the consequence may be that the empire will have to sacrifice thousands of soldiers to achieve it, and this only needs to be discussed to achieve different results.”
Xiao Ming’s words were a little serious.
Xiao Yi is now the prince. The reason why he established the prince was because of the instability within the empire and he was worried about his safety.
Because at that time, if you have any accident, the empire will be in chaos, and having a prince can stabilize people’s hearts.
But now the meaning of the prince’s representative is different.
After all, with the development of empire education, the knowledge of the people of the empire has become wider and wider, and the thinking among the people has become more and more active.
The Renaissance is no longer verbal, but is booming, and the result of this is that the culture of the empire has also got rid of the feudal ignorance that it once was, and is moving towards modernization.
The deified imperial power gradually faded from its mystery and became the supreme power accepted by the empire.
In this way, it is one thing for the empire to accept his rule, and whether it can accept Xiao Yi’s rule is another matter.
After all, he created the empire, and his prestige is beyond the reach, and no one can replace him, and Xiao Yi has no merit, it is difficult to convince the crowd.
Therefore, if his genetic technology has not broken through when his deadline is approaching, even if he passes Xiao Yi, it is still unknown whether these empire veterans who followed him can support him.
But no matter what it is, he hopes Xiao Yi is good enough. After all, Xiao Yi is his eldest son, and he has always had high hopes for Xiao Yi.
What he really expects is whether Xiao Yi can inherit Datong by his own ability, rather than relying on his father’s influence.
Xiao Yi narrowed his neck when he heard the words, and dared not say any more.
Xiao Ming frowned when he saw this. He said, “Also, in front of me, you have to tell your true thoughts and don’t pretend to be very tough.”
When Xiao Yi spoke, he realized that this was not Xiao Yi’s original intention, but Xiao Yi said it to follow his temper, because he often criticized Xiao Yi for being kind to women.
“Yes, Father.” Xiao Yi immediately recovered his gentle and elegant appearance. He said: “The sons and ministers thought that the empire should not go to Europe to fight for years after years of war. Siberia is already very difficult, not to mention that it takes more than 30,000 kilometers from the empire to Europe. Even if the empires ships are used to provide supplies, it is quite difficult. In the eyes of the sons, it will be enough if they can obtain sufficient benefits in this negotiation. Now, its not too late to think about it when you have the strength for expeditions in the future.”
Xiao Ming nodded, and he said, “This is what it looks like. You are right. It seems that you have learned well in government affairs these years.”
Xiao Yi was happy. In his eyes, Fei Yue’er and his father and emperor were truly strict fathers and mothers.
Because of this, he was a little afraid of his father.
“Erchen has never dared to relax.” Xiao Yi said honestly.
“Well~~ but you still need to learn too much. The father will get old one day, and one day you will fight alone in the whirlpool of political struggle.” Xiao Ming said, “you go back. I will let you attend the negotiations tomorrow. When you graduate from college, I will arrange a position for you to start from an early age. It is not easy to manage a country.”
“Yes, Father Father.” Xiao Yi responded and turned to leave.
Watching Xiao Yi’s figure disappear, Xiao Ming looked at the rockery on one side and shouted, “Not out yet!”
His voice fell, and two teenagers of the same age came out.
“Father.” Two teenagers who looked similar to him said with some fear.
“It’s really bold, who told you to eavesdrop here.” It was not others in front of him, but the second prince Xiao Tong and the fourth prince Xiao Xian.
“The second brother Fei brought me here, and he said that he also wants to learn from his father’s way of governing the country.” Xiao Xian was scared to cry.
When Xiao Tong heard this, Xiao Xian rolled his eyes, “Coward, I won’t take you to play again next time.”
