The courtiers at the bottom of the steps were stunned by his natural appearance.
The little prince had only used a few words to bring all of the Xiongnu into Great Qin's territory.
What shameless boasting!
However…
Why did these words sound so good!
Even the First Emperor couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the child beside him, who was acting completely different from before.
In fact, he had already noticed during their last conversation that this child had an inexplicable hostility towards the Xiongnu.
Although he didn't know why, it didn't stop him from agreeing to Ying Chu's suggestion.
To be honest, he did not have any opinion about the tiny Xiongnu.
If it wasn't for the war a few years ago, he wouldn't have remembered the Xiongnu at all!
Therefore, whether the other party was willing to submit or willing to start a war, he did not care.
In any case, they did not pose much of a threat to Great Qin.
Since that was the case, why not follow Chu 'er's wishes?
After all, when he was happy, she was happy too.
Even his lifespan would increase.
Why not?
Seeing that the First Emperor did not speak for a long time, Acton and the others became anxious.
They had not chosen to make peace with Great Qin just to listen to a child's nonsense.
But then again, who was this child?
He could actually sit next to Great Qin's Emperor?
Why didn't they have any information about this child?
Could it be…
Did Great Qin's Emperor not want to agree to the Xiongnu's request for peace, so he specially found a child to humiliate them?
But this wasn't right.
Back then, in the official letter from the Great Qin Imperial Court that the Chief had received, it had clearly written the words "looking forward to the arrival of the emissary".
Acton and the others looked at each other in confusion.
This child was really too much. He didn't interrupt earlier or later, but he just had to interrupt when he was about to say the most important part.
Now that things had come to this, how could they still have the face to say the request that the Chief had made?
"Haha, this prince must be joking.”Acton smiled awkwardly, but he couldn't think of any good ideas to change the topic.
"I'm not joking. Your Xiongnu has only taken out so little, and you want to submit to Great Qin?”
"Then tell me, what benefits do you want from Great Qin?”
Ying Chu waved the list of gifts in his hand and casually swept his gaze across the group of Xiongnu envoys.
Although his attitude was unpleasant, in Acton's opinion, this was a good opportunity.
He could use this opportunity to talk about the Xiongnu's current situation and praise Great Qin's prosperity.
As long as he could make everyone present happy, wouldn't they have everything they wanted?
Thinking of this, Acton quickly said," Respected Prince, it's like this. Our Xiongnu is sandwiched between Donghu and the Yue family. It's already difficult for us to move forward. In addition to the natural and man-made disasters in the past two years, our Xiongnu people..."
"The northern frontier, which is filled with cows and sheep, definitely can't compare to the prosperity of the Great Qin Empire. There's nothing there except grass, unlike the picturesque scenery of the Great Qin Empire…"
"Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can help the Xiongnu people on the account that we have sincerely come to surrender! Once the Xiongnu become your vassal kingdom, the Xiongnu people will also be your people…"
"Ha! You guys sure know how to daydream!”Ying Chu interrupted Acton again.
Looking at the other party's face that still had traces of acting, he revealed his big white teeth."Using such an insignificant thing in exchange for Great Qin's protection?”
"Let everyone see if it's worth it!
For some reason, Akto felt that every word the prince said was like a needle in his throat.
If he listened to the other party say a few more words, he felt that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Damn it.
If he hadn't seen Chanyu empty out more than half of the national treasury for this peace, he might have really believed that child's nonsense!
What did he mean by that insignificant thing?
No matter how vast Great Qin was, there was no need to humiliate people like this, right?
If you don't even care about the best gold, silver, jewelry, and thousands of horses, what else can you care about?
Could it be that they were really going to do as he said and offer up all of the Xiongnu's good horses and give a few grasslands to Great Qin?
How was this possible?
The grasslands weren't dominated by the Xiongnu alone.
There were still the Yue clan, Donghu clan, and other clans eyeing him covetously.
If they gave the grasslands to Great Qin, where would the Xiongnu people live?
"This…"
Just as Acton was panicking like an ant on a hot pan, Ying Chu stood up again."What's wrong? Do you want to refute me?”
"Let me tell you, Great Qin isn't something that just anyone can submit to. I'm giving you a chance, do you understand? You don't even know how to cherish it?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood!"
Acton couldn't afford such a big hat.
He quickly smiled and said in broken Chinese,"Prince, you must be joking. It's just that our Xiongnu territory is small and we don't have many treasures. We can't compare to Great Qin's vast territory and rich resources. It's indeed…"
"Imperial Father, the Xiongnu are coveting the land of Great Qin!”
Ying Chu suddenly changed his attitude.
The arrogant look from before instantly became aggrieved."They say that the Xiongnu are small, but as far as I know, the grassland stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and you can't see the end at a glance!”
"Your son only wanted to ask them for a few plots of grass so that he could have a chance to admire the scenery of the northern frontier, but they refused and even used the small area as an excuse.”
"Not only that, but this fellow also said that our Great Qin is vast and prosperous. If they did not covet it, how could they understand our Great Qin's situation so thoroughly?”
The corners of the courtiers 'mouths twitched when they heard this.
Why did they hear the complete opposite of the little prince from Acton's words?
Wasn't the Xiongnu messenger praising Great Qin?
Compared to the courtiers, the Xiongnu emissary and the rest turned pale after hearing the translation.
This child, why did he suddenly change his attitude?
They could not understand how this child could twist a compliment into another meaning.
These words were really heart-wrenching!
If Qin Shi Huang took these words seriously, then the purpose of these Xiongnu envoys would be blind.
"Your Majesty, we really didn't mean it that way!”
Acton, who wanted to cry but had no tears, hurriedly tried to explain to the First Emperor.
However, the other party did not give him the chance to continue speaking.
The awe-inspiring Qin Shi Huang directly took the list of gifts from Ying Chu's hands.
"You came all the way here to make peace. It's better to bring enough sincerity! If the Xiongnu really want to become a vassal state of Great Qin, they have to give Chu 'er the gift she wants!”
"If not, why would I take you in?”
