Chapter 1633 Test Each Other's Bottom Line
Su Peisheng, who was behind him, gritted his teeth angrily.
This William, I haven't seen him talk about this with the emperor before.
Now that the emperor is in their country, he is talking about the border.
The key point was that when the emperor put pressure on William to use his status as king to find the queen, he only mentioned the need to draw up a treaty.
The emperor came to him not because it was in William's territory.
In this way, William, as the king, used his connections to find the queen, which was faster than those who were unfamiliar with the place, and there were only a few hundred people below.
Another thing is that William also seems to be spying on the queen, maybe even if he tied the queen up.
Anyway, no matter which point, the emperor had to put pressure on him, the king.
But the emperor talked about looking for someone with William, but William talked about the border between the two countries. This is clearly threatening the emperor and taking advantage of the fire!
This is also forcing the emperor to make a choice between the queen and the division of the country.
It can also be said that it is a major decision between the country and the beauty.
A long time ago, when he knew that the emperor treated the empress differently from the concubines in the harem, he wondered whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for the emperor.
On the one hand, he thought that it might be a good thing for the emperor to have a woman who is close to him.
However, he worried that this would become a stumbling block for the emperor.
Because for the emperor, it is too common for those who want to love not to love, and those who don't want to love to have to love.
The emperor favoring only one woman will cause jealousy and struggle in the harem, and it will also cause unrest in the previous dynasty.
He was worried that the emperor would pervert the law because of the queen's favoritism and lose justice.
And what the emperor taboos the most is falling in love with a woman.
Once the emperor has made his heart to a woman, it is equivalent to having a weakness, giving that woman a sharp edge that can hurt him.
At the same time, it also gave others the opportunity to threaten the emperor.
William grasped the weakness of the emperor, so when the emperor came to ask him to find the queen, he proposed to divide the national border.
This made him seriously suspect that William knew that the emperor cared about the queen, so he tied the queen up on purpose.
And he has thought of this level, and the emperor must have considered it too.
But even if there is such doubt, there are some things that cannot be clarified.
If you don't make it clear, maybe you can talk about the conditions to satisfy William's ambition.
But if it is made clear, it is not something that can be resolved by signing a treaty.
And everything pays attention to evidence, and this is simply a matter of no evidence.
If you speak too much, it is likely to annoy the other party and cause the queen to be hurt.
At this time, only by meeting the needs of the other party as much as possible can the queen be preserved.
Just when Su Peisheng was in a hurry to get angry, he only heard the fourth master say: "I don't know what kind of treaty you want to draw up."
William: "At the beginning of the year, I considered the border chaos, so I ordered someone to draw up a treaty. I wanted to send envoys to the Qing Dynasty to negotiate, but I never thought that your Excellency would go directly to our country, so let's have a good interview. "
As he spoke, he made a gesture and ordered his subordinates to get the contract.
After a while, William's subordinates handed over the treaty to Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng looked at the contract written in his hand, and it seemed that it had been planned long ago.
Although he felt resentful in his heart, he still handed over the treaty to the fourth master.
After the fourth master took it, he flipped through the thick contract.
During the period, William still said there: "In fact, there is not much content. The most important thing is the division of land. The east reaches the Eqing River, the west reaches Zhanfengling, the south belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and the north belongs to the Yueshang Empire."
Su Peisheng sneered from the bottom of his heart, who doesn't know that the land south of Eqing River in the east and Zhanfeng Mountain in the west is not that wide at all, it is the land of other neighboring countries.
In the direction to the north, there is nearly 200,000 kilometers of land, and it is the Junggar tribe.
A long time ago, he had heard from the emperor that the Yueshang Empire often allyed with the Junggar tribe and encouraged the Junggar tribe to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.
Compared to Su Peisheng's anger, Fourth Master just continued to look at the contract.
As William said, there were other treaties of equality besides the demarcation of border lands.
Of course, only land division seems to be equal, but it is actually an unequal treaty.
After reading the treaty intently, the fourth master closed the booklet and handed it to Su Peisheng who was beside him, saying indifferently: "To be honest, the treaty on yours does not attract me, especially the trade between the two countries. You are not interested in things like the fur of the Moon Empire."
The Moon Empire did not have any good resources. On the contrary, they always exchanged fur and other goods to the Qing Dynasty for gold, silver, brocade, cotton cloth, herbs, etc., and gained huge benefits.
Hearing this, William had a slight smile on his face, "So, you are not willing to sign this treaty? Thanks to me, I added one later, as long as you sign the treaty, the Moon Empire will not accommodate the Qing Dynasty." Those who want to be captured will actively cooperate in the capture, I am full of sincerity, but you seem to be ungrateful."
These words are to remind Fourth Master: Don't forget that your queen is still in the Moon Empire, and her whereabouts are unknown. As long as you sign this treaty, I can cooperate with you to find the queen. Otherwise, forget it!
It has to be said that this is the only point in the treaty that attracts fourth master.
Otherwise he can't come here today.
Not to mention that after William mentioned the treaty, he could calmly read the treaty.
If this were normal, he would have left long ago because of his violent temper.
But he couldn't act like he cared, or he would become a passive party.
Fourth Master held his lips, "It's not impossible, it's just that this treaty still needs to be re-drafted."
Since neither side showed their hole cards, Fourth Master and Wei Lian slapped each other sideways and tested each other's bottom line for the next time.
But the key to negotiating this kind of thing is to see who cares more about the content of the treaty and who is more excited.
Don't look at fourth master's calm look on the surface, but he is in a hurry to find Ruoyin, and he is more anxious and anxious than William.
An hour later, Fourth Master and William finally reached a consensus and signed the contract.
Since then, the border between the Qing Dynasty and the Moon Empire has been divided.
He also said that it would be good to use Manchu and Huwen to publish the treaty in stone, and place it at the junction of the two countries, and it will always be a mark.
The Moon Empire will no longer instigate or encourage quasi-parties to rebel, which can make the frontier peaceful.
If there are still disputes in the border area in the future, it is necessary to declare the monarchs of the two countries.
As for the entire treaty, the contributions of both parties to Daqing meant that Daqing lost 150,000 kilometers of border land.
Although it has been reduced from the original 200,000 kilometers to 150,000 kilometers, a lot of land is still missing.
But William seemed to know that Ruoyin was very important to fourth master. He was sure that fourth master would sign the treaty, and after he gave in a step, he would never make any more concessions.
