Le Van Thanh was a well-known minister in the Cochin court who knew the North.

After the Xining War, he participated in many rounds of negotiations with the Northern Dynasties, and led the return of the Song Dynasty to the five states of Cochin during the Yuanfeng era and subsequent rounds of border negotiations.

This person is well versed in poetry, etiquette and music, and is good at finding problems from the meaning of scriptures.

Just like last year, it was he who relied on his sharp tongue to convince Song Dynasty's envoy Chengzhuo to take the initiative to cede Jiaozhi to the other six counties besides Wuyang, Wue and other Dong counties.

Today, Cheng Zhuo has been demoted to the Nanping Army.

And Li Boon Thanh became the hope of the whole village of Cochin people.

Before leaving, Li Qiande summoned Li Wen Sheng alone in the palace.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the old minister's departure?" Li Wen Sheng asked Li Tai De.

Li Qiande sighed and said: "Now the northern troops are approaching the country and occupying the city. Zhenla is raising troops one after another. At this time, when the country is destroyed, there is not much to worry about."

"You can agree to all the conditions previously ordered by the Northern Dynasty."

This means that he fully accepted all the conditions in the imperial edict brought by the Northern Envoy Li Feng to the Northern Dynasty Emperor.

Hand over Li Changjie (no longer needed), hand over the poet who wrote poems to slander the late emperor of the Northern Dynasties (this person has been arrested and "actively committed suicide" in prison. Just hand over the body.)

At the same time, the annual tribute of rice is 500,000 shi.

Li Wensheng's eyes twitched as he listened: "What about the states in Jiangbei?"

Li Qiande looked up at the sky and said, "Please Li Qing try your best to fight for it!"

"If the Northern Dynasty can be persuaded to return the land to the states, I can increase the tribute rice."

The country of Dai Viet may be lacking, but the fertile Fuliangjiang Plain has three crops per year and can produce millions of tons of indica and japonica rice.

Champa, Chenla and other places are also places rich in rice.

If that doesn't work, then we can lead our troops to the south and make up for the losses in the north.

Li Wensheng lowered his head and asked, "What if it can't be done?"

Li Qiande sighed: "I can only admit it."

The land north of the Yangtze River is not as rich as the south of the Yangtze River. It is still dominated by local officials and wealthy families. The rule of Jiaozhi is basically unstable.

Now, since we have lost the battle, we can only give up and admit the status quo.

Otherwise, what else can be done?

If the Northern Dynasty really sent a navy across the sea to attack Shenglong Mansion, the foundation of the Li family for several generations would be ruined.

Li Wen Sheng raised his head and continued to ask: "What if the Northern Dynasty wants to increase the terms?"

Li Qiande also knew in his heart that if he lost the battle, the other party would definitely raise the price.

If you want the Northern Dynasty to stop its troops, you will have to pay a higher price.

But he looked at the figure of his younger brother Chongxianhou Li Taide, who seemed to be loyal and led his troops to guard outside the palace.

Li Qiande knew it very well.

Now, in fact, both the ministers and the clan have recognized Li Taide as the next emperor.

As for him?

He is just a scapegoat, a puppet who bears the responsibility for defeat.

That is to say, Li Taide was unwilling to take responsibility for the defeat, and he was even more unwilling to become the sinner who bowed to the Northern Dynasty, and he was also wary of the Northern Dynasty's interference.

That's why I didn't attack him.

Once the peace negotiation is successful, I'm afraid it won't be a good outcome for him.

However, Li Qiande also understood that if he refused to take responsibility.

So, the poet who was arrested and then 'took suicide to apologize' was the fate of the emperor.

Li Qiande could only nod his head in resignation: "Yes!"

"Promise them!"

He can only play his role well.

To prevent his brother from 'helping' him make a choice.

Li Wen Sheng sighed and bowed to Li Qiande again.
