I Won’t Sign!
Chapter 1640 I won’t sign!
At the Yankang Wendao Temple, Yu Chenzi, Wei Suifeng and others welcomed the negotiation envoys from the Heavenly Court and said, "Five Taoist brothers, please come in."
This time, it was the Inner Seat of the Five Emperors who led the people to negotiate on the orders of Emperor Haotian.
The Inner Seat of the Five Emperors is an important position in the Heavenly Court, with great power, second only to the Seven Dukes.
There are many powerful people who sit on the Emperor's Throne in Heaven. The Seven Dukes, Four Prime Ministers, Three Masters, Two Assistants, Five Emperors' Thrones and Five Emperors' Inner Seats are all official positions that can only be held by the strong people who sit on the Emperor's Throne.
The Five Emperors' Thrones and the Five Emperors' Inner Thrones are supplements to the Four Colors Great Emperors. If the Four Colors Great Emperors die in battle or rebel, the Five Emperors' Inner Thrones will replace them.
For this negotiation, Heaven sent the five most important ministers from the Five Emperors' inner seats, which shows how much importance it attaches.
Each of them brought with him hundreds of followers, and they were very powerful. These followers were not there to serve them with food and daily life, but were masters of divination or negotiation elites from the heavenly court.
Nian Guanhe, who was sitting in the inner seat of the Five Emperors, suddenly stopped and looked at a young girl walking quickly towards him. She hung a mirror on the door plaque of Wen Dao Yuan and then left in a hurry.
Nian Guanhe was surprised. He looked at Yuchenzi, Wei Suifeng and others who came to greet him and said with a smile, "Yankang hung a mirror when we arrived. Could it be a magic mirror? Is he trying to force us to show our true identity?"
Wei Suifeng laughed loudly and said, "Brother Nian, you are too suspicious. You are the descendant of the beast Nian. Everyone knows that. There are Dao Questions in this mirror. It is a custom of Wen Dao Temple. It is used for communication. If someone encounters difficulties in cultivation, they hang up the mirror and talented people from all over the world will try to answer them. The emperor also allocated some money from the national treasury to give generous rewards to those who can answer the difficult questions."
"I see."
Nian Guanhe looked up, sized up the mirror, and said, "No wonder Yankang's academic atmosphere is so prosperous that even the Heavenly Lord wants to reincarnate to study in Yankang."
Suddenly, Meng Xianqiu, who was sitting in the inner seat of the Five Emperors, laughed and said, "The money in the Yankang Treasury is also the money of the Heavenly Court. How can Emperor Yanfeng take out the money of the Heavenly Court and give it to others at will? He should be executed according to the law!"
Wei Suifeng's face changed slightly, and he sneered: "Xiao Meng, Yankang has not surrendered yet. You come to kill the emperor of Yankang. Do you believe that I will kill you first?"
"Emperor Yunluo, Yankang has surrendered. It should be just a matter of a word for me to kill you, right?" Meng Xianqiu said with a smile.
Yu Chenzi said quickly: "The people of Yankang are also the people of Heaven. The emperor gave the money of Heaven to the people of Heaven, but the meat still rotted in the pot and did not flow out. Everyone, please!"
The five powerful ministers in the inner seats of the Five Emperors laughed loudly. Meng Xianqiu praised: "Yu Chenzi is still good at talking. Please!"
Yu Chenzi bent down and raised his hand, smiling, "The five envoys please come first."
Everyone filed in and walked into Wendao Temple.
Meng Xianqiu sat down with a majestic look and said, "The progress of the previous negotiations was slow, and His Majesty was very angry, so he ordered us to work overnight to copy down His Majesty's will. This time, we are not here to negotiate, but the contract has been signed, and Yankang just needs to sign it!"
Wei Suifeng flew into a rage, slammed the table and stood up, saying sternly: "Is the Heavenly Court so powerful? They didn't even bother to talk, and just sent the contract over. Have I surrendered? I haven't surrendered yet! Even if the damn Mu Tianzun surrenders, I won't!"
The five emperors in the inner seats all changed their expressions.
Yu Chenzi slammed the table and said angrily: "Wei Suifeng! Shut up! This time, Lord Mu Tian ordered me to be fully responsible for the negotiation with the Heavenly Court. You are my subordinate. I didn't give the order. Why are you complaining?"
Wei Suifeng sneered, "Who doesn't know that Yu Chenzi is a traitor? Mu Tianzun is blind and asked you to take responsibility. You can sell out Yankang! You are a spy planted in Yankang by the Heavenly Court!"
Yu Chenzi was so furious that he was shaking with anger.
Wei Suifeng said coldly: "The Heavenly Court directly sent the contract to me. Did it leave me the territory? Did it leave me any benefits? In addition to me, there is also Di De Yuan Jun. Can't he ask for some benefits? Prince Youming is also a well-known emperor. Can't he ask for some benefits? They don't say anything. Just talk about Tianzun, Yue Tianzun, Ling Tianzun, and You Tianzun. Where did their benefits go? If you sign it directly, I won't kill you, but they will kill you! What's more, I am the leader of the Yulin Army, with no less than 100,000 elite Yulin Army under my command. If you let us go to starve, we can just go out and occupy the mountain as kings!"
Yu Chenzi was furious: "Someone, get this guy out!"
Wei Suifeng slapped him and knocked him over. Prince Youming hurriedly stopped him and said slowly: "You guys, stop making noise..."
Yu Chenzi climbed up and hid behind Prince Youming: "Prince Youming, you and the guy surnamed Wei are both my deputies. The guy surnamed Wei is rebelling, take him down!"
Prince Youming said slowly: "Yuchenzi, it is indeed inappropriate to sign the contract directly. It is difficult to convince the public..."
Wei Suifeng was murderous and shouted, "Old You, get out of the way. I'll kill him and ask Mu Tianzun to replace him with someone else!"
Prince Youming said slowly: "Don't make trouble..."
The five emperors frowned, and Nian Guanhe turned sideways and asked his followers, "Did the contract Your Majesty made leave enough benefits for the people in power in Yankang?"
The attendant shook his head and whispered, "Your Majesty has taken all of Yankang's wealth and power, leaving nothing good behind."
Nian Guanhe frowned and said to the other inner seat emperors: "No wonder Yankang reacted so strongly. The contract your majesty made is indeed inappropriate. I am afraid it will cause Yankang to rebound."
Meng Xianqiu said: "If Yankang rebounds, then just kill him."
Nian Guanhe shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is not afraid of Yankang, Your Majesty is afraid of the one who lives in seclusion."
He suddenly stopped talking and did not continue, saying: "Your Majesty wants to take it all in one go, but there are many heroes in Yankang. If you don't leave some benefits, I'm afraid you won't be able to sign the contract."
"I'm rebelling!"
Wei Suifeng shook his cape, turned around and left, shouting, "This time it's Qin who wants to surrender, not Wei. The people in Yankang are already complaining! If Qin doesn't want to fight, I will fight for him! I'm going to find Yue Tianzun, Ling Tianzun, You Tianzun, and unite with Wuyou Township to rebel!"
The five emperors looked at each other, and Nian Guanhe stood up and said loudly: "Emperor Yunluo, please stay!"
Wei Suifeng stopped, snorted angrily, and said with a bad face: "Why do you want me to stay? Do you want to kill me? You, the Five Emperors, may not be able to stop me!"
Nian Guanhe smiled and said, "Since we are discussing this, there is still room for discussion. Emperor Yunluo, don't worry. Let me go back and report to His Majesty, and then we will make a decision."
Wei Suifeng relaxed his expression, glanced at Yu Chenzi, and then flew into a rage again, saying sternly: "If you dare to betray Yankang's interests again, I will kill you, the spy from the Heavenly Court!"
Yu Chenzi said angrily: "I am a spy from the Heavenly Court? What good can I get from being a spy?"
"How should I know? I just heard that the Heavenly Court gave you a few heavens, and people said that after this negotiation, you will hide away and become a rich man!"
…
The two of them started arguing and were about to fight again. Prince Youming tried to mediate and said slowly, "Say less..."
Nian Guanhe ordered a civil servant under his command to go to the Heavenly Palace to report to Emperor Haotian about the difficulties they had encountered. Emperor Haotian was talking to the newly promoted master of Zaofu Palace, Xing'an Tianzun, in Zaofu Palace, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
It was not until more than ten days later that Emperor Haotian walked out of the Zaofu Palace, looking radiant and obviously in a good mood.
The civil servant hurried forward and told Emperor Haotian about the Yankang negotiations, saying, "Mu Tianzun doesn't care about the matter, but those in power under his command are unwilling to admit defeat and are clamoring for rebellion."
"The quarrelsome children get candy. This is because I didn't share the benefits with them, so they quarreled."
Emperor Haotian saw it very accurately and said with a smile: "Then I can make some concessions and not push too hard. If you push too hard, Mu Tianzun will rebel. You go back and tell the Five Emperors to relax some of the conditions. But, you must give them a deadline!"
His face turned cold and he sneered, "By the end of this year, they must sign it for me! If they don't sign it, don't blame me for being ruthless and wiping out Yan Kang!"
The civil servant left in a hurry, returned to Yankang, and repeated the words of Emperor Haotian to the Five Emperors.
The Five Emperors breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If Your Majesty is willing to give up some benefits, then it will be convenient for us to discuss."
However, once this opening was made, various interested parties within Yankang jumped out, intending to get a piece of the pie. Inside the Wendao Academy, there was a huge quarrel, with the bigwigs of Yankang quarreling with the messengers of the Heavenly Court, and also quarreling among themselves.
The five emperors sitting in the inner seats of the Five Emperors felt dizzy and confused. Each of them had hundreds of followers, which added up to two to three thousand people, but they were exhausted by the noise and had no way to cope with it.
The matter was discussed until the end of the year, but it still hadn't been finalized.
Emperor Haotian was furious and ordered the recall of all envoys in preparation for war.
Just as this order was issued and the envoy from Heaven had not yet returned to Heaven, news came that Mu Tianzun was no longer in seclusion. He came out of the mountains and came to Yankang, submitted a letter to Heaven, saying that he was willing to surrender, and personally led the envoy from Yankang to Heaven to continue negotiations.
Emperor Haotian ordered the Heavenly Court to reorganize the army and be ready for war at any time to exert extreme pressure. At the same time, he ordered Mu Tianzun to lead Yankang's envoys to the Heavenly Court to continue negotiations.
After the Spring Festival, Qin Mu led Yankang's envoys to the Heavenly Palace. As soon as they arrived at the Heavenly Palace, Emperor Haotian invited Qin Mu over to chat and did not allow him to meet the envoys.
On the other hand, the Yankang envoys were imprisoned in the Jinxiu Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Court sent tens of thousands of civil servants to not allow the Yankang envoys to rest, sleep, or give them food and water. They took turns negotiating with them, causing chaos in the Jinxiu Heavenly Palace.
The Yankang envoys led by Yu Chenzi, Wei Suifeng, Prince Youming and others could not hold on any longer and signed the contract one after another. More than half a year had passed.
Emperor Haotian ordered his men to load the thick contract into a palanquin and send it to the harem. It took seven palanquins to load the contract. He smiled and said, "Lord Mu, the surrender of Yankang has been discussed. I will not treat you unfairly. I have given you all the benefits that I can give you. Now it's your turn to sign."
Qin Mu flipped through the contracts of the seven vehicles and read them one by one. His expression changed slightly. The more he read, the gloomier his expression became.
Emperor Haotian couldn't help but frown when he saw that his face was becoming increasingly ugly.
Qin Mu finished reading the Seven Car Contract, waved his sleeves, and sneered, "I won't sign this contract! If I don't sign it, it's useless even if someone else signs it!"
Emperor Haotian was furious. He stood up straight. A Qi Daluotian emerged from the ultimate void, covering the heaven and earth, and enveloped the heavens. He said coldly: "Lord Mu, you don't want to sign? Are you kidding me?"
Qin Mu said calmly, "Your Majesty took away most of the benefits of Yankang, while others only got a little bit of soup and water, and I got nothing. Does Your Majesty admit that I am your greatest opponent? Am I not even worth a little bit of soup and water? Your Majesty despises me, and you despise yourself."
Emperor Haotian's eyes fell on his face and looked him straight in the eyes: "You have already retired, why do you still need so many benefits? You should let me rest assured and let me sleep soundly, instead of preparing to make a comeback!"
Qin Mu said awkwardly: "I still have a large family to support..."
Emperor Haotian laughed angrily: "If you don't sign today, I will issue an order and let Xu Tianzun exterminate half of your Yankang population!"
The sealed Dao Heart in Qin Mu's body was gradually unlocked, and he was filled with fighting spirit: "As many as you can kill, I can revive as many as you can!"
Emperor Haotian was furious and sneered, "Do you think I can't deal with your resurrection ability? I sent their souls to the Ultimate Void, sent them to Guixu, and stuffed them into the ancestral court Yujing City to let them be completely annihilated. Which one can you save?"
Qin Mu's breath became weak.
At this moment, the prime minister suddenly came hurriedly, his face full of anxiety, and when he saw Qin Mu, he stopped talking.
Emperor Haotian said coldly: "Speak! There are no outsiders here!"
The Prime Minister hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Ji, Shi Xiu, Ling Shu, and Ling Yuan, the four rulers of the heavens, rebelled. If you kill these four rulers of the heavens, you will swear to attack the Heavenly Court..." After that, he glanced at Qin Mu again.
Emperor Haotian waved his sleeves and said calmly: "Today, the world is clear and bright, and I am an unparalleled wise ruler. They actually rebelled for their own selfish desires. They are really courting death. Pass on my order and let Xu Tianzun destroy them."
He looked at Qin Mu and smiled, "Lord Mu, come with me to the four great heavens to see the fate of the rebels."
