Chapter 54 Ask the Emperor to Establish the Family Instructions
Zheng Xuan listened to Ning Fan's sarcasm, his face turned red and purple, his body trembled uncontrollably, his lips turned purple with anger, and he pointed at Ning Fan for a long time without being able to speak.
"What?"
"Sir Zheng, you are not convinced?"
"I have established my country for more than a hundred years, and the war has never stopped. I have won and lost. I was even attacked by the southern barbarians to the banks of the Li River!"
"But looking at the emperors of all dynasties, have they ever negotiated peace with foreign countries?"
"Have they ever been soft to the powerful people in all directions?"
"Now, my father has worked hard to govern and stabilize my borders in all directions. Why do you want me, Dayu, to cede land and pay compensation?"
"I just want to ask, Sir Zheng, whose minister are you?"
Ning Fan's face was cold. If the words just now were naked humiliation, then this remark was undoubtedly a heart-breaking one.
Zheng Xuan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he bowed to Ning Fan and said: "Your Highness, I am naturally a minister of Dayu. Whether it is peace talks or ceding land, I am loyal to Dayu!"
"Now the main force of Dayu is deeply trapped in the battlefield of the East. If we negotiate peace at this time, we can still preserve our strength!"
"If the main force of Dayu is annihilated, Donghuai will march straight in. At that time, the loss of Dayu will not be comparable to the land of two states!"
"If your Highness can resolve the danger in the East, what does it matter if I offer my wife and daughter?"
Zheng Xuan's words were passionate and awe-inspiring.
"Haha!" Ning Fan's face was full of sneers: "Today I will cede two states, tomorrow I will cede three states, and then I can sleep peacefully for one night."
"If Donghuai comes to attack again, will I, Dayu, fight or make peace?"
"One day, when my land is ceded, what can I use to fight when one side is growing stronger and the other side is declining?"
Looking at Ning Fan's aggressive eyes, Zheng Xuan was speechless for a moment. Ji Sui listened to Ning Fan's remarks and nodded in agreement, with a glimmer of light in his eyes!
"If I, Dayu, can cede land to seek peace today, then tomorrow, my descendants will be able to make peace with foreign countries and pay compensation!"
"I, Dayu, have an ancestral precept that all royal descendants can be granted the title of prince only if they have made military achievements. And every emperor of Dayu has held a long spear and subdued a fierce horse. It can be said that the prince guards the country and the king dies for the country!"
"Now, Lord Zheng actually wants to cede land to negotiate peace. I wonder if my ancestors knew about it. Will they be so angry that they will crawl out of the ancestral mausoleum and curse their descendants for being unfilial!"
"Father, I, your son, will die in front of all the civil and military officials today!"
"Please establish an ancestral precept that all emperors of Dayu's descendants will not marry, pay tribute, cede land, or pay compensation. They would rather perish than seek peace!"
Ning Fan knelt directly on the ground, looking at Emperor Yu with a burning gaze, his face very firm!
"Your Highness said it well!" Ji Sui was the first to stand up, stepped forward to pay his respects, and knelt down beside Ning Fan: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. I, Dayu, established the country with military force, and we should establish this ancestral precept to unite the hearts of the people!"
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Lin Qiushi also pondered for a moment, stepped forward to second the proposal, and Emperor Yu just came back from his shock at this moment: "The prince guards the country, and the king dies for the country!"
"Well said!"
"It suits my heart very well!"
"Approved!"
Emperor Yu waved his hand directly, looking at Ning Fan with admiration in his eyes. In a trance, he seemed to see the shadow of his eldest son!
Zheng Xuan was silent on the side, only to feel a burning sensation on his face. What happened today would probably be known to the world in no time!
Once Emperor Yu established the ancestral precept, he would definitely announce it to the world. By then, when the scholars of the world understand the cause and effect of the matter and the remarks made by King Xuanyong today, Zheng Xuan would definitely be scolded by people!
"Father, you are wise!"
Ning Fan flattered loudly, stood up and stood aside, looked at Zheng Xuan, and whispered: "Just now, Lord Zheng did not second the proposal, but is he still thinking about peace talks?"
Now that he has torn his face with Zheng Xuan, he might as well offend him to the end, but he doesn't care, he is just a puppet supported by a noble family!
If you don't like him, just offend him!
It's over with pleasure!
As for whether he resents or not, Ning Fan doesn't care at all. Anyway, he is a dying man, and he will be dealt with directly when the opportunity arises!
"Your Highness's remarks today are ear-splitting!"
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Zheng Xuan directly apologized to Emperor Yu, but his eyes looked at Ning Fan: "I think Your Highness seems to be confident, and he must have a way to resolve the crisis!"
Emperor Yu did not rush to speak, but looked at Ning Fan with interest. He also felt that if this kid didn't have a corresponding strategy, he would never be so ostentatious today!
"Haha, Lord Zheng is right, you don't have to offer your wife and daughter!"
"The danger in the East Territory has been resolved by this king!"
When Zheng Xuan heard Ning Fan talking about his wife and daughter again, he suddenly felt angry and almost fell to the ground.
"Hmph, Your Highness, this is in front of His Majesty, you must not speak without thinking!"
"I would like to ask you, how did Your Highness resolve the danger in the East Territory?"
"Who did you send again?"
When this was said, not only Emperor Yu showed curiosity, but all the civil and military officials also looked at Ning Fan. Was he bluffing to save face, or did he really resolve the danger in the East Territory quietly?
"It seems that Lord Zheng is not very happy to hear that this king resolved the danger in the East Territory?"
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. I am just concerned about state affairs. It involves the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. There is no room for falsehood!"
Zheng Xuan's face was filled with a sneer, and he even felt a sense of pleasure in getting revenge!
The crisis in the Eastern Territory can be solved by a little playboy like you?
Now Huaining City must have been lost, and Dayu's main army must be in deep trouble, unable to protect himself!
As for Ning Fan's suggestion of sending someone to resolve the issue, Zheng Xuan even scoffed at it!
The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty are at a loss what to do. You, a young boy, have no good ideas.
"King Xuanyong, have you really solved it?"
Emperor Yu seemed to be a little unable to hold back at this moment, and looked at Ning Fan with burning eyes. Although he also had a little doubt in his heart, he also looked at Ning Fan's confident look with a look of hope.
"Reporting to my father, I have just seized the Red Sleeve Move..."
Ning Fan narrated what happened in the Red Sleeve Move, while Emperor Yu and others looked in amazement. In the end, they couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hahaha, great, you are worthy of being my Qilin'er!"
"I didn't expect that Donghuai's plan for half a year was resolved by you in an instant!"
"Cai, big color!"
Seeing the joy on Emperor Yu's face, he felt relieved. Ning Fan said leisurely: "Father, I dare not say that I am 100% sure about this matter. If General Donghuai has doubts and takes risks, I, Huaihuai, will Ningcheng is still in turmoil!”
Ning Fan's words directly poured cold water on Emperor Yu. He looked at Wei Ying next to him and said: "If there is any military information from the front tonight, report it immediately no matter when!"
"According to the order!"
