Chapter 681: Worried and in a mess, want to negotiate?

He, the chief guard, can be regarded as a confidant promoted by Nangong Ji.

Even if the other party has doubts now, as long as he works hard and behaves the same as before, these are not a problem.

Nangong Ji has nothing to say about his confidants, and he will never doubt those he should trust.

Outside the imperial study.

Ding Yi is guarding outside as before, not letting anyone get close to the imperial study.

He looks no different from before, but Nangong Ji always feels that something is wrong.

Whether it is an illusion or a quick intuition, Nangong Ji is still unclear.

But since Ding Yi cannot be fully trusted, he will stay by his side for the time being and observe. If there is anything wrong, he will find a way to eliminate it.

It is not easy to cultivate a strong confidant, but he will never allow anyone to betray him.

Especially those who have been trained by himself, as long as they betray themselves, they must pay a heavy price.

At this time, Nangong Ji is not the only one in the imperial study. Left Prime Minister Wang Ming, Right Prime Minister Qin Qingren and some other key ministers are here.

The reason why all these ministers were summoned was to discuss the matter against the Slaughter Palace.

Should we continue to take hard measures or adopt a soft approach?

At this time, the Slaughter Palace was already a huge monster.

Although no force could prove what level of power the other party was, since it was able to destroy the 100,000-strong army of the Liuli Dynasty, it proved that the other party's power was at least a first-class power.

Maybe the other party has surpassed the first-class power and even reached the level of the seven major powers.

"My dear ministers, please sit down first."

Upon hearing this, the ministers did not hesitate and found a chair to sit down, sitting upright, not daring to be negligent.

Seeing that all the ministers had sat down, Nangong Ji said this.

"I called you here today to discuss the matter of the Slaughter Palace.

I want to hear if you have any different ideas.

Is it possible for the Liuli Dynasty and the Slaughter Palace to coexist peacefully? You can express your ideas and discuss them one by one."

Nangong Ji himself thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't get an accurate answer.

During this period, the left prime minister Wang Ming has been trying to contact the major first-class sects, but with little success.

The attitudes of these first-class sects are very unified, that is, they are not interested in these things, and they don't want to participate in the struggle of the Liuli Dynasty.

Obviously, these first-class forces have reached a consensus.

They don't take the initiative to provoke the Liuli Dynasty, but they don't plan to help the Liuli Dynasty.

This makes Wang Ming, who is doing this, feel very distressed.

These guys are stubborn. Once there is really any problem with the Liuli Dynasty, can they stay out of it?

What's more, the way that the Slaughter Palace does in the Endless River Basin is to directly subdue all forces, and will not give other forces any independent living space.

Either choose to surrender or choose to be destroyed, there is no middle option.

"Wang Qing, tell me about the situation on your side."

The first person to be called was Wang Ming, and Nangong Ji wanted to hear what the situation was like on his side.

Upon hearing this, a flash of embarrassment flashed across Wang Ming's face.

After all, he did not do this well, which was considered dereliction of duty, but it was not that he did not want to do it well, but that he could not do it.

He quickly stood up and took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, regarding the various first-class sects and forces, their attitude is not to help either side, and they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

The most important thing is that their attitude is surprisingly unified, as if they have united.

If we want to move them, I'm afraid... it will affect the whole body."

Although the Liuli Dynasty is powerful, it is still unable to fight on multiple fronts at the same time and eliminate all the first-class forces.

Moreover, these sects are all within the sphere of influence of the Liuli Dynasty. Fighting them at this time is just internal consumption. There is no need for this.

Even if we want to deal with these first-class sects, we may have to wait until the matter of the Slaughter Palace is dealt with.

After listening to Wang Ming's words, many ministers showed a look of indignation.

"Wolf ambition! Don't these sects want to think about it. If we fight with the Slaughter Palace and both sides suffer losses, what should they do if other forces get involved?"

"That's right, it's so stupid! They don't know how to judge the situation and just want to take advantage."

"That means we can't do anything to them now. If we have time, they will do it first!"

"Now is not the time to say these things. There is no point in saying harsh words. What we should consider is how to solve the current situation."

...

Hearing the voices of the ministers arguing, which was completely unhelpful to this discussion, Nangong Ji frowned fiercely.

He didn't come here to listen to these gods quarreling, making it like a vegetable market.

"Enough!"

Nangong Ji shouted loudly, his voice drowning out all the ministers.

All the ministers really quieted down, not daring to continue making trouble.

"I have also thought about a question before, that is, whether the Slaughter Palace really has ill intentions towards our Liuli Dynasty?

The other party only expanded in the Endless River Basin and did not affect our Liuli Dynasty. Instead, we rashly launched an attack and ended up in such an embarrassing situation.

Do you think it is necessary to go to war with the Killing Palace?

If the Killing Palace itself has no intention of going to war, I think, why not arrange for the envoys to talk to the other party. "

As soon as Nangong Ji finished speaking, Qin Qingren immediately stood up and said seriously.

"Your Majesty, this is not possible! The Killing Palace has grown up suddenly and is right next to our Liuli Dynasty. Regardless of whether it has any ill intentions towards us, we must be careful.

Since the fight has already started, the Killing Palace will probably not easily accept our peace talks. Are you going to compensate the other party?

Once we take the initiative to choose to negotiate with the other party, how much impact it will have on our Liuli Dynasty, don't you know? "

What Qin Qingren said is true.

The party that actively asks for peace talks usually belongs to the defeated party, and the defeated party can only accept the conditions proposed by the other party.

The peace talks are secondary, the most important thing is that this is equivalent to indirect surrender.

The Liuli Dynasty admitted that it was not as good as the Slaughter Fairy Palace.

Once this matter spreads, I am afraid that the position of one of the seven major forces of the Liuli Dynasty will not be maintained.

Although it is just a false name, in the fairyland, sometimes reputation is much more important than other things.

Originally, these first-class sects were ready to move, and if something like this happened, I am afraid that these first-class sects would not be able to sit still.
