Shen Youlong already looked down on these obedient thieves, but this time they actually made such unreasonable demands.
It was really intolerable.
The Emperor will definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request, and neither will the Imperial Envoy.
"Don't be angry, Shen Duxian.
I will definitely not agree to their request to be crowned king.
They are asking for an exorbitant price, and we will just pay them back on the spot."
Wen Anzhi also calmed down and began to comfort Shen Youlong.
"The Imperial Envoy is still very magnanimous.
If I were to refuse to recruit him, I would directly send troops to suppress him."
At this moment, Shen Youlong was supported by Huang Degong's tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and his back suddenly stiffened, completely forgetting how panicked he looked before Wen Anzhi led his troops to Guangdong.
"It's better not to fight each other unless it's absolutely necessary."
After some testing, Wen Anzhi has basically determined that the other party does not want to fight.
In this case, there is the possibility of sitting down and talking.
Wen Anzhi knew that this kind of in-depth negotiation must be face-to-face and cannot be transmitted by letter.
So he planned to arrange a banquet and invite the main generals of the Shun army to the banquet.
After Wen Anzhi told Shen Youlong this idea, the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi were very surprised.
"The traitors are very treacherous.
Will they agree to come to the banquet?"
"Of course we are not coming to Guangzhou for a banquet.
We can choose a middle ground and have a banquet in the wild."
Wen Anzhi said calmly.
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Shen Youlong was very excited at this time and repeatedly tried to dissuade him: "If you are in the wild and the bandits suddenly attack, what should you do?"
Wen Anzhi said with a straight face: "I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers and retinues, so why should I be afraid?
Didn't Shen Duxian just now say that he would send troops to suppress thieves?
Why don't you even dare to have a banquet in the wild now?"
Being so aroused by Wen Anzhi, Shen Youlong was speechless, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
"But listen to the imperial envoy's orders."
Shen Youlong has no say in the decision-making of this kind of matter.
"I want to see how the traitor will respond."
Wen Anzhi gently stroked his beard and said resolutely.
"Yufeng, Wen Anzhi sent someone to deliver a message again.
This time he wants to invite us to a banquet."
Yuan Zongdi was very concerned about the peace talks and came to tell Tian Jianxiu as soon as there was news.
Although everyone didn't say it, they seemed to regard Tian Jianxiu as the leader of the remnant of the shun army.
After all, most of us are rough warriors, and there are really not many people like Tian Jianxiu who are both civil and military.
"oh" Tian Jianxiu was also a little surprised.
Wen Anzhi's move was contrary to the normal behavior of the imperial court.
In the past, governors from various places also recruited peasant armies.
But without exception, court officials maintained a proud attitude from the beginning.
Regardless of whether the governor or the governor was a feudal official, they would naturally not condescend to negotiate peace with the leader of the rebel army at a banquet.
Wen Anzhi set a precedent.
Tian Jianxiu took the letter, read it for a moment and said with a smile: "This Wen Anzhi is really brave."
"Yufeng, how do we reply that we are going to the banquet?"
"Go, of course I want to go" Tian Jianxiu raised his eyebrows and said: "If he dares to go to the capital of civilization, why should we dare not?

Besides, the two sides will meet in the wild with their troops.
Even if something happens, they will have time to withdraw."
Yuan Zongdi nodded and said: "That's true.
If our cavalry really starts running, the Ming army can only follow behind and eat dust."
"So we not only have to go but also show our strength, so that we can take more initiative in the peace talks."
Tian Jianxiu tapped his fingers and said harmoniously: "Bring all the elite soldiers, preferably all cavalry."
Although Tian Jianxiu felt that the possibility of Wen Anzhi hosting a Hongmen Banquet was very small, he still had to take precautions.
Bring cavalry with you for easy evacuation.
If anything happens, just get back on the horse.
"You should also make this clear to your brothers.
I won't force you if you don't want to go."
Yuan Zongdi knew that Tian Jianxiu was talking about Liu Tichun, so he sighed and said, "You know Old Liu's temperament.
He's a sharp-tongued man, but he's just a bit stubborn.
I'll talk to him again, and I believe he will change his mind." of."
"Then give it a try."
Tian Jianxiu has no hope for this.
If Liu Tichun really didn't want to surrender, he would respect his brother's choice.
Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun had the best personal relationship, so the task of persuading Liu Tichun was naturally taken over by Yuan Zongdi.
Yuan Zongdi went to Liu Tichun's tent and explained his purpose straight to the point.
Xiaozhi responded with emotion and reason, hoping that Liu Tichun could change his mind.
But who knew that Liu Tichun came up and scolded Yuan Zongdi.
"Old Yuan, please stop talking.
If you want to lick the Ming Emperor's buttocks, go ahead and don't drag me along.
I, Liu Tichun, will never accept an imperial edict in such a muddle-headed way."
Seeing what he said was so vulgar, Yuan Zongdi frowned and said: "Old Liu, what are you talking about?
Who is going to lick his buttocks?
Besides, it was Yufeng who proposed the peace talks.
If you want to scold him, I will."
I don’t understand, why are you making trouble here when everyone obviously agrees.”
"You think I don't want to scold him.
Among these old brothers, who is the most respected by King Chuang?
It's Tian Jianxiu.
But how did he do it?
King Chuang's bones were not even cold yet.
He climbed up on the pole and wanted to surrender.
He only surrendered.
That’s all, you are still deceiving the public with your monstrous words in the army, and bewitching a group of old brothers to surrender together, bah” Liu Tichun's accumulated anger finally broke out.
In his anger, Tumo Xingzi was the first person to spit on Yuan Zong's face.
"Where is the Queen?
Where did he put the Queen?"
The queen in Liu Tichun's mouth is of course Gao Guiying.
Although Gao Guiying also supports the Ming Dynasty, she must feel uncomfortable in her heart.
"The court will definitely not treat the queen badly."
Yuan Zongdi looked gloomy and said.
To be honest, the person who suffered the most after returning to the Ming court was Gao Guiying.

The other brothers just changed their allegiance to another emperor, and the flag they flew was changed from Dashun to Ming Dynasty.
But for Gao Guiying, she lost her identity as Queen Dashun.
Although this identity is no longer in name only, at least it still exists.
And she was willing to give up this identity for the sake of Shunjun's future.
What is certain is that the imperial court will grant Gao Guiying a first-grade imperial concubine at most.
Can she really accept this gap?
"Do you believe what you say?"
Liu Tichun sarcastically said: "That's all for others, but the queen is the wife of King Chuang.
King Chuang attacked the capital and forced Chongzhen to death.
This jealous little emperor can't avenge King Chuang.
Then who do you think he will find?"
Yuan Zongdi exclaimed: "No, I will not allow the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty to kill her."
"You will not allow that if you really surrender, you will be just an ordinary general under his command.
How can you resist his imperial edict?"
