He Tianzhao kowtowed nine times: "This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for your kindness! Long live the Emperor! "

Tyrant said: "Both of you, please rise!"

"Thank you, your majesty!"

Tuoba Yun and He Tianzhao both stood up happily!

Tuoba Yun had jumped from the secondary commander of the Imperial Guards to the first rank prime minister in a single jump. He was the leader of the civil and military officials, it could be said that he had reached the pinnacle of the world!

He Tianzhao immediately promoted the title of the Great Commander of the Imperial Guard from a small governor who was only at the third tier. He was in charge of thirty thousand imperial guards and received a rank of General! In actuality, he was only at the same level as Zhuo Gongfu, the world's marshal of war!

These two had the same thing in common!

That was the Emperor's confidant!

He Tuwang was secretly surprised!

This young and deep emperor's methods were so vicious and his style was so bizarre that it was rare in the world!

With a single order, he burned down the hundreds of years of history and legacy of the Prime Minister!

In the blink of an eye, he had the Prime Minister's rights firmly in his hands. He had even sent his trusted aides to control the military forces in the capital and in the palace!

He was so confident!

Between advancing and retreating, it was subtle yet indescribable …

"Father-in-law!"

Tyrant called out softly.

He Tuwang was already nervous and anxious, what orders did the emperor have to him?

Tyrant said gently: "Just now, my father-in-law and I were talking about the truce between the River Slaughter Nation and the imperial government, but we were interrupted by our subordinates. My father-in-law, please do not be offended! Now, let's talk! What do you think, father-in-law? "As long as it's a reasonable request, I can fulfill them all!"

Tyrant suddenly acted calm and collected. It seemed like it was trying to rope him in …

He was obviously trying to show his goodwill by addressing his father-in-law like "father in law".

This made He Tuwang even more flustered!

He was clearly taking a step back!

Would the reasonable requirements be met?

What is reasonable?

What is unreasonable?

Isn't that up to you alone?

Humph!

Even the dignified Prime Minister's residence has been annihilated by your words!

The strength of a powerhouse of the ninth step only brought about a delicate balance of power, but this delicate balance was enough to overturn the entire world's current situation!

The three great families!

The Bai Family ruled Jiangnan as its own nation.

The Residence of Zhuo had one hundred thousand elite soldiers, and some families had one hundred thousand soldiers as well!

These two families were both extremely tough characters!

The Prime Minister's Palace was the most famous place in the world, but there was a saying, "Shoot the bird in the head!"

The Prime Minister's Palace used the control of the economic lifeline of the world as a threat, and all generations of emperors had no choice but to give this position to the people of the Domoto's family to ensure the smooth functioning of the imperial court!

Furthermore, the Prime Minister's Estate had the Imperial Palace's Imperial Guard under their control, and they also had a Ninth Order expert as their backer!

Even if the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the strength of the Domoto's family!

Unsatisfied? They could only swallow their front teeth in one gulp!

Because if they angered the Domoto's family, they would at least resign and leave the imperial government in a semi-paralyzed state!

If the consequences were serious, they would directly charge into the palace and kill you, the emperor!

One must know!

A powerhouse of the ninth step was a god-like existence!

No one could escape if they wanted to kill someone!

Therefore, the Emperor had no choice but to give in!

But now, with the Emperor possessing the power of a Ninth Order warrior, the Domoto's family had lost all of his advantages.

In this dynasty that was founded with martial prowess, without the support of powerful martial forces, there would be no guarantee of enormous wealth!

The powerful army of the Zhuo King's Manor and the Bai Family were still on equal footing with the imperial government, but the Domoto's family was the first to suffer!

This was the biggest thing that happened in Tian Song Dynasty for the past few hundred years!

Although it was far away from the border, He Tuwang still had some understanding about the matters between the imperial government and the three great families!

Tyrant urged softly: "Why do you not speak your father-in-law? Do you have any reservations about the truce? "

He Tuwang said: "No! No! Your Majesty is overthinking it! "

Tyrant said: "Then let's talk about the terms of the truce! Our father-in-law and I are already as close as family. Harmony and peace are naturally what the people of the imperial court and He Tuwang hope for the most. "

"Your Majesty is right."

"We deeply appreciate Father-in-law's contribution to pacifying the King of Tsushi's rebellion. This is also proof of Father-in-law's loyalty to the imperial government. Those rumors and rumors about Father-in-law wanting to rebel have been shattered by him! "

"Yes!" Yes! The Emperor is wise! "

Upon hearing about the rebellion, He Tuwang was immediately fearful.

When he thought about the fate of the Prime Minister's family, how could he not have a lingering fear?

The emperor was deep and wise.

Savage and cold-blooded!

What was even more frightening was that he was a powerhouse of the ninth step!

"We have decided to grant Father-in-law the title of the new King of Tsushi and to help us take charge of the large and small tribes at the borders. Father-in-law is one of us, I believe that I can trust you, right? "

"Yes." Your Majesty, rest assured. This humble subject absolutely does not dare to have second thoughts towards Your Majesty. "

Tyrant nodded slightly and replied indifferently: "Very good! The loyalty of father-in-law, I, as well as the imperial government, will never be forgotten! I will never treat those who are loyal to me lightly! I wonder how many cities Father-in-law would like as compensation for the armistice? "

"This... Yan Zhou, Cloud Dragon City … "

What He Tuwang wanted the most was the two important border cities, Yan Prefecture and Cloud Dragon.

These two cities were once He Tuwang's fiefdom more than a hundred years ago!

After that, it was taken down by Zhuo Tianhang and had always been under the jurisdiction of the imperial government and had never been returned to them.

The reason why He Tuwang had declared war on the imperial government after becoming a strong soldier, was because his most important wish was to take back the two cities.

Before arriving at the capital, He Tuwang had already decided that he would have to make a big demand, and would need at least ten different cities in order for the imperial government to be willing to stop the war.

How could he dare to ask so openly now?

He only wanted to bring back two cities that originally belonged to the River Slaughter Nation.

Such a savage Emperor should have provoked him less.

Without batting an eyelid, he exterminated the rebellion of the King of Tsushi and slaughtered the entire family of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a single order.

It would not be beneficial to go against someone like him.

He Tuwang had already recognized the truth, and lowered the compensation clause to the minimum …

As soon as Tyrant heard him talk about the two cities, Yan Zhou and Yun Long, she immediately said, "Father-in-law, are you talking about the two cities, Yan Zhou and Yun Long? I remember that these two cities seemed to once be the feudal fiefdom of the River Slaughter Nation? "

He Tuwang nodded in surprise: "Yes! Yes! Your majesty is wise. Your majesty's memory is truly good. "If the emperor is willing to return …"

Tyrant interrupted him again: "I seem to recall that more than a hundred and thirty years ago, two generals of the River Slaughter Nation killed the King and fought for their own lives. Yan Zhou and Cloud Dragon City are two important cities located between the imperial government and the River Slaughter Nation. They are easy to defend and hard to attack.

He Tuwang suddenly had an uneasy feeling in his heart …

Tyrant continued, "Those two generals relied on these two cities as their strongholds to attack the imperial government, causing heavy losses. If General Zhuo Tianhang was not invincible and powerful enough to take down these two cities, the imperial government would have been in grave danger. "

He Tuwang nodded his head, "The Emperor is right."

Tyrant continued, "The military power of these two cities is so great that it is enough to affect the harmonious relationship between the imperial government and the River Slaughter Nation … That's right. Just a moment ago, father-in-law wanted to say something, will the imperial government give these two cities to the River Slaughter Nation? "

"NO!" No! Your Majesty has misunderstood! "

He Tuwang was so frightened that he quickly explained, "What I wanted to say was that after these two cities were under the jurisdiction of the imperial government, the people of the country lived a life of prosperity. "Under the governance of the imperial government, there is no need to surrender."

Tyrant's eyes flashed with a subtle cunning look. His charming mouth curled into a sharp smile: "Father-in-law, you mean you don't need to give up your land?"

He Tuwang had difficulty speaking, and could only nod his head: "Of course! Of course! Of course! A harmonious and stable relationship between the imperial government and the River Slaughter Nation is the most important! "

Tyrant continued, "The compensation for the armistice is huge. The five million that Father-in-law mentioned earlier is indeed …"

He Tuwang said in fear, "Your Majesty! Just take it that this humble subject has never mentioned it! "

Tyrant pretended to be angry: "How dare you? I had promised that as long as Father-in-law and the imperial government stayed out of the war and sent troops to rebel against the King of Tsushi, the imperial government would give the River Slaughter Nation the greatest compensation and reward! I am the king of a kingdom, how can I go back on my word? Moreover, to pacify the King of Tsushi's rebellion, the River Slaughter Nation had to expend their military and financial resources. They should be compensated! "

He Tuwang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He thought to himself, "Although the city is gone, it is not bad to be able to pay a huge sum of money! Judging from the Emperor's intentions, five million silver should be in his hands! "

Tyrant continued: "We heard that the River Slaughter Nation is in a cold land. The land is barren and the security is in chaos. We intend to dispatch an envoy team, under the jurisdiction of craftsmen, masons, carpenters and more than five hundred people, to teach the citizens of River Slaughter Nation all kinds of skills, to create towns and settle the inhabitants. To help the citizens of River Slaughter Nation establish a peaceful and prosperous place to gather in. With a peaceful home, the citizens would no longer be wandering around, have survival skills, and would no longer be able to rob and steal because of the barren and barren land. The imperial government would allocate a total of ten million silver taels for three years! I wonder what Father-in-law is thinking? "

"This... This humble subject and the citizens of River Slaughter Nation thank the Emperor for his love! "

When He Tuwang heard the ten million silver, he was so happy that he didn't even hear the words clearly.

Tyrant smiled and said: "Father-in-law is indeed righteous! This was the main terms of the truce agreement. As for the other additional agreements, let the representatives of the two sides draw them up in detail. In short, the imperial government will greatly satisfy the needs of the citizens of the River Slaughter Nation! "

"Thank you, your majesty!"

He Tuwang finally had time to regret!

Unfortunately, he had already … Too late!

10 million silver?

It sounded like a double the amount of silver!

But the emperor has already pointed out that this money can only be used to build houses, town materials, and craftsmen!

In other words, the more money there was, the more towns there would be created.

River Slaughter Nation was a nomadic people.

The land was barren!

The people have little habit of farming and working, and often travel far away to graze and disperse.

Therefore, there were often cases of robbing cattle and sheep.

Since nomads do not have a fixed place of residence, the population is highly mobile.

Not easy to manage.

This was an extremely troublesome place!

But this was also a great advantage of the River Slaughter Nation's military power!

The nomads came and went like the wind. They were mobile and brave, and they were very advantageous in battle!

The policy of robbers harassing the border had always been the biggest headache for the imperial government!

These nomads turned into bandits, robbing things to burn down the village and run!

They had no base, so they wandered around everywhere.

No one knows who did it.

He knew he couldn't catch anyone.
