Chapter 360 If you don’t take a concubine, you are not allowed to go!
“It’s an isolated place!”
Zhao Heng also said: "That's right, Your Majesty!"
"Then you will be surrounded by enemies on all sides!"
Seeing the ministers becoming more and more excited, Qin Yun quickly waved his hand to stop them.
He said, "We are worried that Wang Min will use his army to surround Hangu Pass. Isn't Wang Min afraid that I will send troops to surround Hangu Pass?"
"Since this is a Hongmen Banquet, then the two sides must be fighting with hidden strength and preparation!"
He put his hands behind his back and said confidently, "I plan to write back to Wang Min and agree that each side can only bring 3,000 people."
"If an unknown army appears within a 20-mile radius of Hangu Pass, the meeting will end immediately, and there will be no chance for any further discussion!"
Hearing this, the cabinet ministers fell silent and were no longer so excited.
But they still frowned. The emperor was standing under a dangerous wall, negotiating with others. If something went wrong, what would Daxia do?
Qin Yun said again: "You can think so."
"I am using myself as bait to lure Wang Min into the trap."
"To be frank, Wang Min agreed to meet because he thought the same way."
"It just depends on who wins!"
Gu Chuntang's mouth twitched, and helplessness appeared on his handsome face: "Your Majesty, this time, please forgive me for not agreeing."
"I don't agree either."
"And there is my humble servant."
The six ministers of state spoke up one after another, saying that it was impossible unless Wang Min came to the imperial capital to meet them.
The attitude is extremely firm!
If Qin Yun hadn't glared at Xiao Jian and other military leaders, they would have said they disagreed.
At this moment, he rubbed his brows. He couldn't threaten the six ministers and the prime minister in this situation, right?
But this Hongmen Banquet must be held!
Moreover, he was confident that Wang Min would come.
This is an opportunity to capture Wang Min alive at the lowest cost.
He thought for a moment, smiled, and said in a negotiating tone: "My dear ministers, I think this matter can be considered for a while."
"They are accompanied by the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards. In addition, there are three grassland tribes in the south, 200,000 troops just transferred from Jiangnan in the east, and the Shenji Camp is waiting."
"I guess there is no danger index."
Gu Chuntang and the six ministers all looked at their noses and their hearts, standing there like wooden sticks.
The imperial study fell into a brief silence.
Use silence to express your protest!
Qin Yun curled his lips and had no choice but to use his ultimate move and said, "My dear ministers, I have to go to Hangu Pass."
"If you don't agree, then the heir apparent that I promised you last time will probably have to be extended indefinitely."
"Eunuch Xi, from today on, I will not enter the harem."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian and the others were dumbfounded. How could the emperor coerce his ministers by not giving birth to a prince? !
The cabinet ministers all looked up, surprised and speechless.
"Your Majesty, aren't you being a rogue?"
Gu Chuntang couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, are you threatening us?"
"The issue of the crown prince has not been settled yet. You can't threaten us to agree to everything, right?"
The imperial study suddenly became noisy, and everyone was furious as if their tails had been stepped on.
The lack of a crown prince is a source of worry for many loyal officials.
And now, Qin Yun actually used it as a bargaining chip to threaten!
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "That's right, I am being a rogue, I am just forcing you."
"You can figure it out yourself."
He raised his head, not looking at everyone, and hummed: "If you, my dear ministers, agree to this, then I promise you that by this time next year, I will appoint a crown prince!"
The ministers' faces turned red, like angry roosters.
But they didn't dare to provoke Qin Yun. If he really didn't enter the harem and didn't give birth to a crown prince, it would be troublesome.
long silence.
Qin Yun glanced at them and said with a deliberately stern face, "My dear ministers, how is the discussion going?"
Gu Chuntang smiled bitterly and bowed: "Your Majesty, will you keep your word?"
"Of course!" Qin Yun grinned, thinking that these old guys were quite cute.
The cabinet ministers looked at each other.
Then he said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is a major issue for the country, and your guarantee alone is not enough."
"We plan to ask the Queen to find you a concubine."
Qin Yun was overjoyed when he heard this. There is such a good thing? !
But he pretended not to care, and even said embarrassedly: "Alas, why do you want to take another concubine? I think they are enough."
"If one person gives birth to a dragon son for me, there will be nearly ten in the future."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites became anxious.
"Your Majesty, throughout the dynasties, there must be at least dozens of princes and princesses!"
"You don't even turn over the cards in your harem, and you only visit a few palaces every day. How can this be possible?"
Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Lord Li is right. If Your Majesty is unwilling to take a concubine, then I will not agree to the trip to Hangu Pass."
"Correct!"
"You must take a concubine!"
The cabinet ministers were glaring and demanding that Qin Yun take a concubine, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"I have a niece who is very graceful and well-read. She is well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics. People who read her face say that she is a good woman who will have many children."
"Your Majesty, how about I send her to the palace?"
"And I, your humble servant, have a young daughter who is eighteen years old. She will definitely give birth to many children for your majesty!"
"..."
The cabinet ministers are getting more and more biased the more they talk.
Maybe they are a little selfish, but their starting point is good, for the sake of the prosperity of the Great Xia nation.
Qin Yun waved his hand and was able to go to Hangu Pass and take a group of beauties as concubines. Why not?
"it is good!"
"I agreed!"
"I will take a concubine, my dear ministers, do not regret it, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You are the ones who said that. I am not threatening you!"
After Qin Yun finished speaking, he immediately issued an order to expel them, fearing that they would regret it: "Okay, my dear ministers, please leave. I am tired and need to rest."
The cabinet ministers were dumbfounded, looking at each other.
Why do I feel cheated?
Gu Chuntang opened his mouth but no words came out.
In the end, he could only smile bitterly and retreat helplessly, thinking that at least it would make His Majesty feel at ease about the issue of the crown prince.
The cabinet ministers were able to send their daughters and nieces to the palace, which was considered a consolation prize, and they were also happy that Qin Yun did not act on his own and listened to the cabinet's opinions.
He didn't say anything more, but just reminded me to think of a foolproof plan.
Wait until people leave.
Qin Yun immediately took out paper and pen.
He wrote a letter to Wang Min, stating that they would meet at Hangu Pass ten days later. Each side would have a maximum of 3,000 followers, and no soldiers would be allowed within a radius of 20 miles.
Now, everything can be discussed.
If they don’t come, the army will launch a general attack on Xiliang on the 11th!
After having someone send the envelope away.
Qin Yun smiled slightly and could start preparing for Hangu Pass.
"Mr. Feng, who is the commander of Hangu Pass?"
"Your Majesty, it's General Han Yu," said Feng Lao.
"Pass on my imperial decree and have him impose martial law on Hangu Pass, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and wait for me to arrive."
"Yes!"
"Oh, and there are many strange people around Wang Min. Tell Mu Le and others to be careful and station troops 20 miles away from Hangu Pass."
"Also, have Cha Mingmu and others pay close attention to the movements of the various tribes on the grassland to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack me..."
"..."
