In the evening, Tang Yin called a few important ministers over to his study room so that they could discuss the peace of the Ning Country.

Last time they negotiated, Qiu Zhen's opinion was' definitely not allowed ', but this time, Qiu Zhen's attitude took a 180 degree turn, and said to Tang Yin: "The King should agree to a compromise."

"Why?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The King welcomes the Son of Heaven into the wind, and has already offended the two great powers, Chuan and Zhen, and although the allied armies of the two countries dare to attack now, it does not mean that they will not dare to come in the future. So, the King should agree to negotiate, accept the marriage, and first consolidate our relationship with the Ning Country before making other preparations." Qiu Zhen said with a serious expression.

The other ministers nodded their heads as they listened, feeling that Qiu Zhen's words were logical.

Tang Yin did not accept it, but changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Qiu Zhen, I heard that you spent the entire afternoon secretly meeting Princess Ning Country! It can't be that you're interested in the princess? "

Qiu Zhen's heart trembled, but he maintained a calm expression, and continued: "First, this subject follows the orders of the King to settle the princess, and leads the princess to familiarize her with the mansion's environment, and arrange for her food and shelter, this is what this subject should do. Secondly, the princess wants to marry the king and not this official. This subject does not dare to have any presumptuous thoughts, much less be tempted by her. "

"Is that so?" Tang Yin laughed and raised his eyebrows. If you don't have a ghost in your heart, then you really would be a ghost! Being together with Qiu Zhen for so long, how could he not understand Qiu Zhen's personality? If he did not have that kind of thought, he would only snort disdainfully at his own questions.

So it turned out that Qiu Zhen was not a saint, but there was a time he could be tempted! The more Tang Yin thought about it, the more he found it funny. In the past, Qiu Zhen had always caused him trouble.

Thinking about it, Tang Yin's mood turned good.

"Ai!" He sighed lightly and said: "All the ministers in the empire have made a family, with a large group of wives and concubines, but the Prime Minister Qiu is still alone, it really makes me worried! Originally, I wanted to betroth the princess to you, Prime Minister Qiu ? "

Ah? Hearing this, Qiu Zhen's eyes lit up, and looked at Tang Yin without blinking. Could it be that the king was not joking in the imperial court this morning, but really wanted to betroth Yan Yinghan to him?! His heart began to beat faster, and blood kept rushing to his head.

Seeing his eager look, Tang Yin almost burst out laughing, but he immediately held it in and sighed: "Everyone should also be clear, our biggest enemy is not Chuan Country, nor is it Zhen Country, rather, it's the Ning Country that is just around the corner. If I were to give Princess Ning Country to Prime Minister Qiu, I am really afraid that she would feel pity for us, and her stance would also change! "

Qiu Zhen was the person he trusted the most. If he wanted to stand from the Ning Country's standpoint and think about things, to come up with ideas for himself, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Qiu Zhen shuddered and without saying a word, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed: "Your majesty has killed this humble subject! This official had already made an oath a long time ago to protect the king and the wind. If this humble subject has second thoughts and second intentions, I am willing to die without a burial! "

Hearing that, Tang Yin and the other officials were all moved, they all cupped their hands and bowed: "Great King, Prime Minister Qiu is very loyal to Great Wang Zhong, the heaven and earth can be seen!"

Tang Yin got up, walked to Qiu Zhen and supported him up, then smirked and said: "Qiu Zhen, why are you so nervous? I just have this concern, and I didn't say that you would actually do that. " Pausing for a moment, he shrugged his shoulders and feigned helplessness, "In order to dispel my doubts, I will have to reluctantly accept the princess."

"Pu!" Qiu Zhen was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

He frowned and asked, "I wonder, what rank does the King want to give to the princess?"

"What kind of name is this ??" Tang Yin held his chin and thought for a while, then asked: "Zong Yuan, according to the rules, how is the Sovereign King's harem divided?"

Zong Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "One after the other, third wife, ninth concubine, twenty-seven generations of wives, eighty-one women."

Tang Yin casually said, "Oh, then we'll give the princess to the eighty-first female imperial palace!"

Qiu Zhen's brows were about to scrunch into a knot, and he said softly: "Great King, let the great princess be your wife, this ? "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?!"

Tang Yin laughed, looked at Qiu Zhen with disdain, and said slowly: "With this duke, letting Princess Ning Country be this king's female ruler is actually praising her!"

"?" Qiu Zhen fell silent and sighed in his heart.

He didn't want to talk anymore about this matter, so he sat back down on the collapsed table, placed the contract flat on the table, then waved his hands towards the ministers and said: "Everyone come sit here, let's see if there is anything on the contract that needs to be amended."

Shangguan Yuanji said: "Great King, this agreement only said that Ning Country is given to my country, this humble subject does not think it is appropriate."

"Oh?"

"This humble subject feels that Ning Country should be allowed to publicly admit that Hedong County is my Feng Country's territory and that we will never offend each other."

"Hm!" "Makes sense." Tang Yin raised the brush and drew a circle in the place that Shangguan Yuanji pointed out.

Zhang Zhe then continued, "As for the compensation, there should still be room for Ning Country, the King does not need to add anymore gold and silver, she only needs to ask for another five thousand horses, and for ten thousand cows and sheep!"

War horses, cows, and lambs were all lacking in Feng Country. Tang Yin nodded as he listened, and drew another circle on the promise of peace.

After all the suggestions and additions had been made, the peace treaty had been spread all over the place.

When they reached the end of the discussion, everyone checked again and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, they finalized the agreement and entrusted Zhang Huan to go and discuss it with Great Hongluo Luo, the Ning Country.

Even though he was only in his early forties, he was a knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and ancient man. Furthermore, he was quick of thought and could speak clearly, and the most important thing was that he was not arrogant, friendly, courteous, and did not have a hint of the sour taste of a scholar. He also did not have the airs of a high ranked warrior, which was what Tang Yin liked the most, and he felt that it was most suitable for Zhang Han to negotiate matters of peace with Hong Luo.

After giving Zhang Han an explanation, Tang Yin then turned to Finance Minister Zhang Xin and said, "Zhang Xin, go to the Hedong County tomorrow and carefully inspect the annual rations there. In the future, our country's military rations will mainly come from Hedong. I do not wish for loopholes and worms to exist there, so when you go and check, you cannot be careless at all! "

Zhang Xin was one of the few old officials of the Wind Nation in the imperial court. He was a tactful person and gradually gained the trust of Tang Yin. Although he was not a very good man, he was a true scholar. He had been in the inner circle of the Wind Nation for so many years, and he was experienced. There was no room for sand in his eyes.

He respectfully bowed deeply to Tang Yin, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your humble servant will definitely investigate the production of the Hedong County Grains thoroughly, and will definitely not let Your Majesty lose a single grain!"

Zhang Xin was an expert at delivering goods to others, he knew that Tang Yin valued food the most. For him to go to the Hedong County to examine it this time, it showed how much trust he had in him. He was already full of energy in his heart and was prepared to go all out in the Hedong to further win the King's favor. In addition, there were also many benefits that could be earned from the places that the ministers of the imperial court had ordered them to stay.

After discussing all the important matters, Tang Yin heaved a sigh of relief, but then he remembered about Spiritual Martial Academy. He asked Qiu Zhen: "Qiu Zhen, how is the progress on the Spiritual Martial Academy?"

Qiu Zhen cupped his hands and replied, "This humble subject has already chosen the address of the academy. It is at the Eastern City, not too far from the Imperial Palace. As for the teachers who will pass on the skills, this humble subject wishes to filter them out in the army. "

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded: "After deciding on the final candidate, let me see the list of names."

"Yes!" "Great King!"

Tang Yin looked around at the crowd, and suddenly thought of something, he asked: "You guys know of Defence Minister Meng Tian, right?"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding why the King would ask such a question. The crowd nodded in agreement, "This subject knows."

Tang Yin's eyes narrowed, and said faintly: "If we get rid of this person, what do you think?"

Not knowing how Meng Tian had offended the King, everyone looked at each other, no one daring to reply.

If he didn't say anything at this point, it would be equivalent to disagreeing. Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and asked: "You feel that's not right?"

Qiu Zhen said: "King, Meng Tian is the son of Meng Luo, his identity is special, what crime does the King want to commit to execute him?"

What crime? Tang Yin really didn't know what kind of crime he could be charged with. This person was too dogmatic and knew how to conduct himself according to the rules. It wasn't easy to catch a hold of his weakness.

After thinking for a while, he said, "What should we do with Dark Arrow?"

To send out the hidden arrow was to assassinate him in the dark. The frown on the officials' faces deepened.

Shangguan Yuanji said: "Great King, the Son of Heaven has just settled down in Yan City, and suddenly a official was killed. Isn't this too brazen? It's also easy to make a living! "

Tang Yin frowned and waved his hand: "Don't reason with me, I understand the reasoning. It is precisely because of this that I have discussed with you guys, and how can we get rid of this fellow without any trouble!"

All the officials fell silent again.

In the end, Shangguan Yuanji still said, "There's no other way, unless he makes a mistake. If the King has any grudges with Meng Tian, I hope the King can endure for a period of time.

Saying it was the same as not saying it at all. Tang Yin waved his hand distractedly, and said: "Alright, alright, I got it. If there's nothing else, you can all go back now."

"Yes!" Great King! This official shall take his leave! " Seeing that the King did not insist on her decision, everyone let out a sigh of relief and left the study room one after another.

After the officials left, Tang Yin called for Shangguan Yuanwu and told him to look for Cheng Jin.

Not long later, Cheng Jin walked into the study and bowed to Tang Yin: "Great King, do you have any orders?"

Tang Yin really wanted to give Cheng Jin a secret order to quietly settle this problem with Meng Tian, but he knew that the worries of the other officials were not unreasonable, and he could not do whatever he wanted. He asked: "Where is Yuan Ziyi being held?"1
