    Yuan Cang stood proudly and said calmly: "Prime Minister Qu, before we talk about the conditions, let me explain one point. Whether it was Xiong Tai's murder or Xiong Yuanxiang's capture alive, it was all caused by the Chu State's first provocation. He is self-inflicted and deserves the blame.  ."

    "In the beginning, Xiong Tai quietly sneaked into Lujiang County and led Gu Kang to attack Jiujiang County of Qi State, and even died on the battlefield. Then our king counterattacked, Gu Kang also surrendered, and Lujiang County was brought under the rule of Qi State."

    "The Chu State was unwilling to be defeated and sent Xiong Yuanxiang to sneak attack our king. Thanks to my king's incredible power, we were able to block Xiong Yuanxiang's attack, capture Xiong Yuanxiang, and stabilize the situation."

    "All of this was caused by Chu State itself. All responsibilities lie with Chu State. This is a prerequisite for negotiation, do you agree with it?"

    Yuan Cang¡¯s words are neither humble nor overbearing.

    But the words contained great power, and they even shifted all the responsibility to Chu State.

    The state of Qi is the master of benevolence and righteousness.

    The state of Chu has its own fault.

    Qu Ping narrowed his eyes.

    Examining Yuan Cang, because Yuan Cang's words seemed to have no impact, but Yuan Cang turned around and announced the matter, which became the Chu State's lack of justice, and it was Chu State's own fault.

    When the news spreads, it will easily affect the people's hearts and minds, and it will easily affect the Chu State itself.

    After Qu Ping thought clearly, he said directly: "Mr. Yuan, it is meaningless to talk about these prerequisites for the two countries to fight. In my opinion, it is most appropriate to directly negotiate the conditions. What does King Qi want to do before he is willing to release Xiong Yuanxiang?"

    Yuan Cang had the initiative, and he was unwilling to give up. He said: "How could it be meaningless? What I just mentioned is the prerequisite for negotiation. Otherwise, even though Qi State released Xiong Yuanxiang, the people of the world will think that His Highness the King of Qi  , it¡¯s extortion. My king does not agree with such things. Even this negotiation must form a document and be signed by both parties. "

    "impossible!"

    Qu Ping flatly refused.

    Once the signature is signed, the news cannot be concealed.  After this news came out, I am afraid that countless people in the Chu Kingdom would think that the Chu Kingdom's court was useless and that it was provoking a war for no reason.

    This is extremely inappropriate.

    Yuan Cang shrugged, shook his sleeves, and said calmly: "In this case, Prime Minister Qu can detain me or kill me. Anyway, the negotiation failed. According to the style of Chu State, killing is normal."

    "you¡­¡­"

    Qu Ping felt anger rising in his heart.

    What the hell!

    Yuan Cang seems to be a polite and elegant person, but he looks like a piece of meat.

    "I don't want to listen to advice at all."

    Qu Ping took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then said: "Mr. Yuan, our country of Chu negotiates with great sincerity. Otherwise, it is impossible to let the prime minister negotiate. In this case, why do we need to do this?  Things that affect the negotiations between the two parties?"

    Yuan Cang flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "Prime Minister Qu, the reason why I mentioned the conditions is to tell the people of Chu State to stop engaging in such underhanded tactics and make people look down on them. Next time Chu State wants to do this, then  You have to weigh it up."

    "It is normal for the two countries to fight. After all, there are always fights between countries. The Chu State wanted to deal with the Qi State and sent troops to attack the Qi State. No one blamed it. But it was really bad to secretly send people to attack and assassinate.  "

    "Your State of Chu has arranged for Zhang San to attack the officials of our State of Qi today. In order to retaliate, our State of Qi will arrange for Li Si to go to the State of Chu to kill the officials of the State of Chu tomorrow. What effect can such an approach have?"

    "At most, it will only cause some panic and make the people suffer. Can it affect the pattern of the two countries? Impossible. Even after such a beginning, the war became completely terrifying."

    "This cannot be allowed to happen."

    "So what happened this time must teach the Chu State a lesson and leave a deep impression on the King of Chu. The responsibility this time lies entirely with the Chu State, not with me, the Qi State. If you want to start a war, I, the Qi State, will accompany you to the end.  This kind of deceitful means is looked down upon by everyone in our country."

    Yuan Cang had a righteous look.

    We are already standing on the moral high ground and directly have the upper hand.

    Qu Ping suddenly became speechless.

    As a wise man and the prime minister of a country, he also agreed with Yuan Cang's words and understood Yuan Cang's words better.  When the two countries are in conflict, it is okay to start a war, but it is indeed inappropriate to send people to attack and assassinate.

    Under normal circumstances, officials will not be assassinated on a large scale.  Because you did it,The other party may retaliate accordingly, and the final result can only be a lose-lose situation for both parties.

    Of course, there are exceptions to special circumstances, or the execution of a beheading plan.

    The Chu State arranged for Xiong Yuanxiang to deal with Wang Qi. The actual purpose was to execute the beheading plan. It was not to affect innocent people, nor to target officials of the Qi State. This was not a large-scale assassination or a large-scale massacre, but was only aimed at Wang Qi.  .

    Yuan Cang confuses the two through verbal sophistry and some words.

    It would be difficult for Qu Ping to defend himself.

    It is true that after Chu State killed Xiong Tai, it asked Xiong Yuanxiang to carry out a sneak attack and assassination. This is what it did.

    Qu Ping thought clearly and said slowly again: "Mr. Yuan, when it comes to signing documents, it is a serious matter. The truth needs to be met by your Majesty for your judgment."

    Yuan Cang snorted and said sarcastically: "Since the Prime Minister cannot make a decision, why don't you let me meet the Emperor of Chu? Instead, arrange for someone to pick me up at the city gate and take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion. You can't make a decision, and you will have to wait for me.  There are many conditions, do you ask the Emperor of Chu to decide everything?"

    The words were even more direct.

    Qu Ping was so shocked that he had nothing to say.

    At this moment, Qu Ping was even more afraid of Yuan Cang.  This Yuan Cang is very difficult to deal with, and it is impossible for him to directly let Yuan Cang see the emperor. In this case, there will be no room for turning around.

    Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty is busy with many things and does not have so much time to negotiate. Therefore, this matter can only be done by the Prime Minister. Mr. Yuan, if this is not the case, I will propose a solution."

    Yuan Cang said: "What can we do?"

    Qu Ping said: "Let's talk about the conditions first, and then we'll talk about it after the negotiation is over. We will shelve the disputes for the time being. For example, the signing of documents will be shelved for the time being, and we will continue to negotiate the conditions. After all the conditions are negotiated, the disputes will be  I will immediately ask His Majesty to make a decision, what do you think?"

    "not good!"

    Yuan Cang shook his head and refused.

    As an envoy, he knew very well that envoy negotiations meant fighting for every step and not giving up any benefit.  If you give in a little now, you will tolerate more in subsequent negotiations.

    Yuan Cang said in a deep voice: "Qu Xiang, either you make the decision directly, or I directly meet with the Emperor of Chu. Or you can't make the decision, find someone who can make the decision. I am an envoy to negotiate, and I can make the decision with full authority. Prime Minister Qu's actions  Does the Prime Minister of Chu State have no power at all?"

    He just wants to gain the upper hand now.

    Comprehensively suppress Qu Ping.

    This is so that you can invisibly take the initiative in negotiations.

    Qu Ping himself was given the order to make the final decision, and he even had to bring Xiong Yuanxiang back.

    He pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Yuan, the prime minister has agreed to the conditions for signing the document. We, the Chu State and the Qi State, are willing to sign the negotiation documents, form a written text, and sign with a seal."

    There was a hint of smile on Yuan Cang's slightly cold face, and he said: "Qu Xiang, since you can make the decision, why do you have to be so coy? Asking the Emperor of Chu for instructions is nothing more than delaying time and a waste of time.  That¡¯s all.¡±

    Qu Ping said: "Mr. Yuan misunderstood. I said I wanted to ask for instructions. It is indeed a big and important matter. I don't dare to make the decision casually on such a matter. But now that Mr. Yuan has said this, he has overstepped the truth."  ."

    Yuan Cang chuckled.

    He didn¡¯t believe Qu Ping¡¯s words. This was just trying to coax a three-year-old child.

    Qu Ping continued: "Mr. Yuan, let's get down to business. Let's talk about the specific conditions of Qi State."

    Yuan Cang said: "Prime Minister Qu, Qi's conditions have four aspects."

    "so much?"

    Qu Pingrao has a good heart. When he heard the other party ask for four conditions, he looked like he was going to rip him off, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry and helpless in his heart.

    He is being bullied!

    Because of Xiong Yuanxiang, negotiations are hampered and suppressed everywhere.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
