Tarasius was a little confused about Zhao Ziliang's background.
He tried to ask: "Her Majesty the Queen Mother and I are here today to hear what requests and suggestions your Majesty the Holy King has."
Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea, looked at Tarasius and asked: "Let me tell you first, you must be mentally prepared."
Tarasius swallowed secretly, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Zhao Ziliang said: "I have five conditions.
If you agree, this matter will be settled.
First, one hundred and sixteen of my people died last night and forty-one were injured.
These people are all from me, the King of Western Qin."
Each of the Shiryu Guards was carefully selected from each standing army.
Every one of them has made great achievements in battle, and every one of them can be worth ten.
The military expenses of raising one Dragon Guard soldier can support twenty standing army soldiers, and the pension is ten times that of the standing army soldiers.
These one hundred and sixteen pensions for dead soldiers and their All the expenses after joining the army, as well as the medical expenses and spiritual comfort expenses for the 41 wounded, totaled 1.58 million gold yuan; second, the mastermind behind the scenes, Viscount Chitra Seldot, was handed over to us for disposal.
The third , your Foreign Minister represented your country in public Officially apologize to our country, Western Qin; fourth, all goods exported from our country to your country will have their original tariffs reduced by half; fifth, your country’s officials must promise to immediately track down the assassin organization that besieged our commercial bank office and bring them to justice.
All its members in one fell swoop” After Zhao Ziliang said these five conditions, Irina and Tarasius were already livid.
Irina suppressed her anger and said: "Except for the fifth, the other four are too much.
We don't want to May agree” Zhao Ziliang glanced at Irina, but ignored her at all, only looking at Tarasius.
Irina was very angry, "Are you ignoring me?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course I have to ignore you.
Although you are still the empress dowager, the governing power is no longer in your hands.
What you say can no longer represent the Eastern Roman Empire.
Wouldn't it be useless for me to talk to you?"
"you" "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please calm down."
Tarasius hurriedly comforted Irina.
He now understood that Zhao Ziliang had left Irina to talk to him, so he could only go into battle shirtless.
Although he was worried that Zhao Ziliang would fall out, he was also very angry at this time.
Only Zhao Ziliang could say such harsh conditions, and only he had such a thick skin.
"Your Majesty the Holy King, if you are truly sincere in trying to reach a settlement between us on this matter, I hope you will come up with conditions that are acceptable to both of us.
Our Majesty the Queen Mother has also said that the five terms you just mentioned are only We can accept Article 5, but the other four are too harsh.”
Having said this, Tarasius said: "Yes, we should apologize to Your Majesty and your country.
Someone among the city guards accepted bribes from the Assassin organization, so they did not show up for two hours, causing this place to be invaded by the Assassin organization. siege, the city guards took bribes The officer is guilty, we should try him, but the other city guard soldiers are innocent, right?
Your men not only killed them all, but also violated the dignity of our country.
Our country has more than 1,200 city guards in Lagata.
They were all killed by you, so how can we settle the account?"
Zhao Ziliang said with a cold face: "In my opinion, these people deserved their death.
Our caravans are not even safe in your Eastern Roman Empire.
Shouldn't you be responsible?
Since these city guards cannot fulfill their responsibility of maintaining law and order." , what's the use of keeping them?
They all deserve to die.
We only killed more than a thousand people, which is already considered very merciful.
If you make me angry, I will fucking demolish all of Constantinople.
Do you believe it?
Don't believe it" Tarasius took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart and said: "Your Majesty the Holy King, can we calm down and have a good talk?"
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to talk about.
I don't think you can make the decision.
You should go back and convey my conditions to Constantine."

Tarasius was filled with hatred, but even if he couldn't show it, he didn't dare to show it.
He even tried his best to hide some of his emotions, lest Zhao Ziliang would see through that he was the assassin leader last night.
He said: "Holy Your Majesty, I do not have the right to make the final decision.
You can convey your conditions to His Majesty the Emperor of our country, but in this way, your affairs in Constantinople must have been exposed.
None of the five conditions you proposed should be put forward by a businessman.
I think We should discuss another feasible solution, what do you think?"
Zhao Ziliang was stunned.
He really didn't expect this, but he quickly made a decision and threatened: "The only people who know my identity now are you two.
If my identity is leaked, I will not find anyone else.
I will only I put forward these five conditions for you two, but I will not talk to you.
You go to Liu Chongwen to talk about these conditions.
If he puts forward these conditions, I don’t think anyone will doubt my identity."
Irina and Tarasius came out of the Qin's Trading Company office, got on the carriage and took the boat back to Constantinople.
On the carriage, Irina's face was terrifyingly gloomy, "This person is too much, too much."
No one is more arrogant.”
Thalassius said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying something offensive.
If you were him, I'm afraid you would have gone too far.
This matter itself is our fault.
We failed to protect the business here." activities of foreign businessmen, themselves The enemy was defeated, the losses were heavy, and the city guards were bribed.
Anyone else would be furious.
What's more, he was still Zhao Ziliang, the Holy King of Western Qin, and the Western Qin country was stronger than us.
A king who dominated the world was offended.
Yes, can you tolerate it?
I'm not To speak for Zhao Ziliang, there is no benefit in fighting Zhao Ziliang now, and you are no longer in power.
Even if you want to worry about this, he will not buy it.
Constantine may not appreciate it.
Moreover, I think this matter may a good thing for you , we leave this matter to Constantine and see how he handles it.
If he doesn't handle it well, it will be a huge blow to his prestige, and the subjects will begin to miss your reign.
As long as he Keep making mistakes and your chances will come.”
Irina closed her eyes and said: "It's not that I haven't thought about what you said.
I'm worried that Constantine is too young to handle this matter, which will bring huge losses to the empire, and this kind of loss at this stage, The empire cannot bear it.”
Tarasius shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the East that care leads to chaos.
If our empire wants to regain its glory, it must experience some painful lessons, let its subjects know the shame, and let them understand who He is the one who can truly restore this empire to its glory."
The carriage stopped at the side entrance of Saint Sophia Cathedral, but Irina did not get out of the car.
She said to Tarasius: "You can handle this matter.
I will go back and talk to the person named Zhao to try to reduce the number of us."
It’s a loss” Tarasius was stunned and advised: "Your Majesty, is this useful?
You should not go.
Zhao is very angry right now.
I don't think you can make things turn around if you go back now."
Irina's attitude was very firm: "I know in my heart that I will be back soon.
You don't have to worry anymore.
You should go to see Constantine and tell him the conditions of Zhao and see what his attitude is."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang did not expect that Irina, a woman, would come back again.
He turned to look at her and asked: "What are you doing here again?

I'm telling you, if you want me to take back or change those conditions, I advise you to save it." , don’t waste your breath.”
Irina looked at the Dragon Guard soldiers and maids on the left and right sides, and said, "I want to talk to you alone."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "You all go down."
The soldiers and maids retreated in an orderly manner, and Irina said: "These conditions you proposed are too excessive.
More than a hundred people died and more than forty were injured, and you actually asked for more than one hundred and fifty compensation."
Ten thousand gold yuan, you are as big as a lion Are you talking?
Also, if you want Constantine to hand over Serdot to your disposal, you are slapping Constantine in the face.
Although you are more than one generation older than him, aside from all the things you know in the East, In terms of seniority, he and you are in the same position. , do you think it is great to humiliate an emperor?
You want the foreign minister to apologize in public.
This is even more excessive.
There are indeed problems with public security here, but from this matter alone, this is not the case for the entire Eastern Roman Empire.
You made a mistake, but you want the entire Eastern Roman Empire to apologize.
Is this possible?
And the most outrageous thing, you actually want us to reduce the import tax by half.
I dare to guarantee you that if Constantine agrees to this condition, I dare Choke him to death with your own hands."
Irina finished speaking in one breath, and she was out of breath.
Her chest heaved violently, and she continued: "I heard that there is a saying in the East that dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious.
If you push us to a dead end, , I think all the subjects of the Eastern Roman Empire will never be willing to be humiliated, and they will definitely stand up and resist."
Zhao Ziliang sneered: "If you want to scare me, I tell you, I will not accept any threats."
Irina gritted her teeth and said: "Don't you just have a bad breath in your heart that you can't let out?
I have long disliked this woman Seldot.
If it weren't for Constantine's feelings, she would have been dead for more than a hundred years. times or more.
Now that what happened last night has happened and her days are over, I will let her live no more than three days, but I will never leave it to you to deal with the bribed assassin organization.
I will let the Sheriff track it down until the end.
Are you satisfied with this until this organization is eradicated?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Not satisfied."
Irina walked over, scratched her head and said with a smile: "You still have fire in your heart, I'll help you let it out."
After saying that, she took off her belt, revealing her smooth body.
"Before I left Constantinople, your body was originally my plaything.
If you want to use this method to make me take my life back, I think you have made the wrong calculation."
Zhao Ziliang said and grabbed Yilin.
Na pushed her down on the table
