After a while, the envoy of the Mo Kingdom entered the hall.
He bowed to Lin Beifan and said," The envoy of the Mo Country, Qi Mu, greets Your Majesty of the Xia Country. I wish you a long and healthy life. The country will be stable forever!"”
"Thank you!" Lin Beifan said straightforwardly. Ambassador of the Mo Country, what is the purpose of your visit?”
The envoy of the Mo Kingdom, Qi Mu, said loudly,"Your Majesty, Qi Mu is here on Your Majesty's orders with goodwill! First, I wish you the joy of ascending to the throne. Second, I want to conclude a friendly agreement between the two countries. Third, I want to do business with His Majesty!”
"I have received the goodwill of the Mo Kingdom's Emperor! Now, let's talk about the third matter. What kind of business does the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom want to do with me?”Lin Beifan said.
The entire hall quieted down and listened carefully, because everyone knew that the third matter was the most important.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, our Desert Country has always been short of iron, so we can only import weapons!" The envoy of the Desert Country said loudly. Because of this, His Majesty is very worried! Therefore, His Majesty hopes that the Xia Country can cede the iron mines in the Flower Prefecture and the surrounding 300 miles to the Mo Country. Our Mo Country will pay you a satisfactory sincerity!”
As soon as he said this, the faces of all the civil and military officials in the court changed as they berated him.
"Presumptuous! You actually want our country to cede territory?"
"Is this your sincerity?"
"Get lost. Our country will never agree to this!”
……
The envoy of the Mo Kingdom did not mind. Instead, he looked at Lin Beifan calmly.
Lin Beifan narrowed his eyes.
Hua Zhou's iron mine was an iron mine on the border between the two countries. The two sides often had friction because of this and even fought two small wars.
In the end, it was still snatched away by Xia Country, but the Mo Country did not give up.
Obviously, they wanted to take advantage of his unstable situation to snatch the iron mine.
Lin Beifan's tone was cold." Envoy of the Mo Kingdom, your request is so rude. What if I don't agree?"”
"Your Majesty, I advise you to agree. This is a good thing for both sides! Otherwise, we can only fight each other. Your Majesty, please think twice!”The envoy of the Desert Kingdom had a hint of arrogance and coldness on his face.
"Impudent!"
"You actually dare to threaten His Majesty?"
……
The officials berated again.
Lin Beifan waved his hand and said calmly,""Dear ministers, calm down! Let's hear what kind of sincerity your Desert Country is prepared to offer in exchange for our iron mine!”
"His Majesty is still the most reasonable one. Then Qi Mu will be straightforward!”"First of all, our Desert Kingdom is willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver!" The envoy of the Desert Kingdom said loudly.”
Lin Beifan sneered." Although our Hua Zhou Iron Mine isn't big, the annual output of iron ore is worth 100,000 taels!" The weapons produced every year can equip tens of thousands of people, greatly increasing our country's military strength! Your Mo Kingdom only wants to spend a mere 300,000 taels of silver to take down the iron mine in the Flower Prefecture. It's simply wishful thinking and a fool's dream!”
"Your Majesty is right. You want to exchange 300,000 taels of silver for an iron mine?”
"He's clearly trying to take advantage of the situation!"
"Even if it's a million taels of silver, we won't agree to it!”
……
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. We still have more!”"Other than the 500,000 taels of silver, our Desert Kingdom is also willing to pay 2,000,000 catties of grain!”
Lin Beifan's expression didn't change." Although our country's land is barren and we lack food, it's impossible for you to exchange 2,000,000 catties of food for our iron mines!"”
"That's right! You can't change it!"
"This is the foundation of the country. No matter how much food you give, you won't exchange it!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
……
"In addition, our Desert Kingdom is also willing to offer a pair of top-grade jade ruyi, 20 top-grade agates, 100 dragon eye pearls, and 1,000 taels of gold. The total value is 200,000 taels!”the Mo Kingdom envoy said.
Lin Beifan was a little angry. Other than corroding my soul and tarnishing my noble character, what else can these things you give me do? Therefore, I will never agree!"
"Your Majesty is right. I will never agree!”
"No matter what they offer, we won't agree!”
"We can't cede our land!"
……
The officials clamored and refused to compromise.
Under this aura, the envoy of the Mo Kingdom was a little frightened. He said fiercely,"Your Majesty of Xia Country, we have already shown our sincerity by giving so much! If you still don't agree, aren't you afraid of war? Our country's 200,000 troops have already been deployed at the border, ready to enter China at any time!”
"He's actually threatening me?" Lin Beifan smiled coldly and shouted without fear,""Go and tell the Mo Kingdom's Emperor that if there's a war, then so be it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?”
"Your Majesty is wise!" The officials said in unison.
At this moment, Baiguan was looking at Lin Beifan in a new light.
They did not expect that the little Emperor who had just ascended the throne would not change his expression from the beginning to the end in the face of the threats and promises of the Mo Kingdom's envoy. He was unyielding and unyielding.
Could it be that Xia Country was going to produce an iron-boned wise ruler?
The Prime Minister and the General looked at Lin Beifan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and felt very gratified.
"Brother, there's hope for China!"
Lin Beifan slammed the table and stood up. He said in a dignified manner,""What other tricks does your Mo Country have? If I frown, I'm definitely not a good man!”
"Your Majesty is wise!" The officials bowed again.
The envoy of the Mo Kingdom said unwillingly,""Originally, we were planning to offer the number one beauty of the Mo Kingdom to you! But now, it seemed that there was no need! Qi Mu will take his leave now…"
"Wait!" Lin Beifan shouted.
"Your Majesty, is there anything else?" The envoy asked in confusion.”
"The number one beauty of the Mo Kingdom that you mentioned, is it Wang Xiangjun, who has the beauty to sink fish and fall geese?" Lin Beifan asked.”
"Yes, what's wrong?" The envoy of the Mo Kingdom was even more puzzled.
Lin Beifan sat down happily." I didn't expect the Mo Kingdom to be so generous. You're so sincere. I like this gift very much!" Isn't it just an iron mine?”
"F * ck!"
"F * ck!"
Everyone was stunned!
After saying so much just now, I thought you were a man of iron and steel, a wise and divine emperor!
He didn't expect to collapse when he met a beauty. It was too unexpected!
And he agreed so readily!
They couldn't do anything about it!
The envoy of the Mo Kingdom was still confused. He stuttered,""Your Majesty, is what you said true? You are willing to use the iron mine of the Flower Prefecture to exchange for the number one beauty of our Mo Kingdom, Wang Xiangjun?”
Lin Beifan frowned." You're not joking. Do you think I would joke?"”
" No, no…" The envoy of the Mo Kingdom waved his hand and opened his mouth."Then we…have a deal!”
"Wait, we can't miss out on the things in front!”Lin Beifan shouted," I want the silver, I want the food, and I want all the gold, silver, and jewelry you gave me. I want everything! Nothing less!"”
"Yes, yes, yes…Your Majesty of Xia Country!" The envoy of the Mo Kingdom quickly responded.
The officials finally came to their senses and said in fear,"Your Majesty, you must not!"
