"They can't talk about it, the loyal and courageous prince has already sent me a message, unless the right minister is in person, otherwise it is useless for anyone to negotiate peace." The lark who said this with great confidence smiled at Dhorn, who was sitting opposite.

"Oh? Haha, then thank you for your uplift, come, I toast with tea, a glass of Mr. Yun, I wish us a happy cooperation. Doon laughed, sweeping away the worries and apprehensions he had come. But he didn't know that the reason why the lark wanted to talk to him so much, and the reason why Yang Chendong wanted this person to go to peace talks was also based on wanting more benefits. As for what kind of benefits can be obtained, the performance in the next few days will naturally be known.

Satisfied, Doon left the small courtyard where the lark lived, and went back to the bedroom to sleep peacefully, and when he opened his eyes once, it was already dawn. While he was having breakfast in the palace, the butler suddenly came to report that the scouts sent to Ava and Siam had rushed back and joined the palace, and at the same time brought the great news that the armies of those two countries had been defeated and were mercilessly blocked by mercenaries from the gates of Laos Province.

In other words, the information provided by the lark is extremely accurate, and this time Doon was right.

"Haha, hahahaha." Listening to the news provided by the butler, Doon grinned and laughed, everything was as the lark said before, then he also needed to rest according to the plan. So he called to the butler and said, "Tell the news outside, and say that the prime minister has fallen ill due to mental exhaustion, and it is not easy to see any guests." ”

"Huh?" The housekeeper looked puzzled, this time his master won the victory, isn't it time to shine in the court? Why do you have to stay at home and not come out?

But after all, he was just a housekeeper, and he couldn't understand what the old man was thinking, and after seeing Dune's stern eyes, he immediately agreed, and then retreated to release the news.

At this time, the palace has already become a pot of porridge. The scouts had just returned, and had brought news from the front that the military plan of the armies of Ava and Siam to take advantage of the emptiness of Laos had failed. Not only that, but the Siamese army was also heavily damaged, losing three games in a row, and countless grain and grass were destroyed.

As soon as the news entered Poramo's ears, he knew that things were going to be bad, but fortunately, he did not send reinforcements to the front line, which meant that he did not expose his intention to fight to the death with the mercenaries, so there was still the possibility of peace talks between the two sides.

Ding Dingwei, the left minister, stood there with his head down, and there were many courtiers standing in the entire hall. But they all seemed to keep a certain distance from him, intentionally or unintentionally, and it could be seen that this time he made a mistake and lost to the right prime minister, Doon. According to the previous agreement, he was going to give up his position and return to his hometown.

If this is the case, who will take a person who has no power or power in his eyes? Not to mention respect.

As if feeling the questioning gazes of everyone, Ding Dingwei gritted his teeth, suddenly clasped his fists and saluted to Hiroma and said: "Your Majesty, the minister lost, and the minister immediately resigned as the left minister, and then packed up and left the royal capital a day later."

"What? Has the king allowed you to leave? It was just a joke before, how can you take it seriously, you won't be serious if you want to come to the right minister, by the way, why didn't the right minister come? "Polamo is having a headache about the situation in front of him, and Dindingway has come to resign, how can he agree in this mess?

Revealing the previous events in a joke, this is from the mouth of Parama, presumably even if Doon is standing here, it is difficult to say something, let alone that others are not here.

As soon as Parama asked, everyone noticed that the right minister did not appear in the hall, and for a while, many courtiers were talking to each other, and some even thought that the right minister must be taking the opportunity to improve his status. Wait, he will appear in a moment, and then stand here as a victor to guide the country.

There were more than one of them who thought so, and when they all thought that Doon was going to appear in the finale, one of the eunuchs gently walked into Poramo's ear and whispered something.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Is the right phase really sick? After hearing the eunuch's words, Poramo turned his head and asked in surprise. From the moment he got the news of the scouts, he thought about giving Doon some praise and even substantial benefits, after all, this time he heard that he did not send reinforcements immediately, which was equivalent to using a buffer zone with the mercenaries, which was equivalent to saving the Phnom Penh dynasty and not pushing them into a place of no return.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical time, Doon actually fell ill, which was too coincidental, at least he didn't believe it.

"The eunuch we sent to summon him to the palace replied, and the right minister's face was ugly, his whole body trembled, and he was lying in the bed, as if he was really sick. But in order to find out the matter, we have sent the imperial doctor to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and I think there will be news soon. The old eunuch replied respectfully.

"Okay, if you have news, notify this king as soon as possible." Polamo nodded, this time it was understandable that he would not punish Doon whether it was a real illness or a fake illness. After all, isn't it human affection for people who have been wronged to vent?

But this time, Borama still underestimated Doon's determination, a man who could be ruthless to his enemies and even more ruthless to himself. In order to reach the point of being really sick, he actually asked the butler to get some ice cubes from the cellar, and then turned it into ice water and poured it on him, so that he really caught a cold, and he couldn't afford to be sick with chills.

The Scout's return has confirmed that what the Skylark said is true, and even if so, what's the harm in believing the other person once? I just hope that the next development can be as the lark said, otherwise, it will be a little worthless to make myself sick this time.

The imperial doctor came, and found out that Du En was indeed suffering from a cold, and the cold was quite serious, so he hurriedly prescribed medicine immediately, and then went back to the palace to recover his life.

"What? Really sick? After the news was told by the old eunuch himself, King Polamo was shocked, thinking in his heart, it seems that the pressure on the right minister this time is really great. Of course, he just thought about it, and after instructing the old eunuch to send the imperial doctor to see the right minister from time to time, he put his mind on the government affairs. I didn't make a decision just now, I was waiting for the right minister to come, even if he couldn't come, then the matter of peace talks could only be handed over to others to do.

It's said that it's someone else, but there aren't many people who can really choose. How powerful are the mercenaries, and the official position of the person who sent the peace talks is too low, how can they talk to others on an equal footing? When the time comes, isn't it a shame that the envoys sent out will not be able to see even the Lord in front of him?

After thinking about it, Polamo still put the candidate for the peace talks on the left minister Ding Dingwei. Prime Minister Zuo also wanted to take the opportunity to make meritorious service in order to repay His Majesty's kindness, so of course he agreed without hesitation. Only two hours later, Ding Dingwei, who had made some preparations, left Phnom Penh City and headed straight for Su Weng City.

The reason why he is so anxious is naturally because Ding Dingwei also knows the truth of the speed of soldiers. Now that both allies have lost the battle, if the Phnom Penh dynasty does not bow its head, who knows if the other side will gather all their troops to attack the Phnom Penh dynasty in a fit of rage? Once they do make this decision, it will be even more difficult to go to peace talks.

The carriage was speeding all the way, and I don't know how many horses had been changed on the road, which normally took five or six days to reach Suweng City, but Ding Dingwei arrived in only three days. As soon as he came here, he asked people to go to the mercenary barracks outside the city to express that the Phnom Penh dynasty wanted to negotiate peace and stop the army.

At this moment, Su Weng City is already full of holes.

In the past few days, when the mercenary cannons have not stopped, there will be powerful cannonballs falling at some point, and each time it falls, it can cause a lot of damage in the city. It is normal for dead people and houses to be destroyed.

For this reason, the people of the city have almost moved, and only the soldiers remain, who dare not leave without orders, and are afraid every day for fear that the next shell will fall on their heads.

General Dahn personally went out to greet Ding Dingwei, and as soon as they met, the general began to complain constantly, and said that he had sent countless requests to the royal capital, either to send reinforcements, or to prepare for peace talks, why there was no response until now, and so on.

Facing the grievances on Dahn's face, Ding Dingwei asked with displeasure on his face, "You generals who have lives abroad, always thinking about asking for help from Your Majesty when something happens, why didn't you try to fight a battle with the mercenaries, if you can win, do you still need to suffer these grievances?" ”

"Hey! Lord Zuo Xiang, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk. Hearing this, Dahn was also a little angry, he was a general of the dynasty, and he belonged to the existence of the military leader, and his authority did not need to be said. Although Ding Dingwei is the left minister, he is actually not much stronger than him, not to mention that it is now a war year, and the status of soldiers has been greatly improved, how can he be afraid of the other party?

"Lord Zuo Xiang, why don't you know that we didn't try to launch a counterattack, but the mercenaries have repeating muskets in their hands that can kill people hundreds of zhang away, and our bow and arrow range is only more than 30 zhang, how can we fight against others. General Ben also ordered two attacks, but both of them were killed and wounded without seeing a single one, how can such a battle be fought? Please also teach me Zuo Xiang-sama. Of course, if Lord Zuo is willing to personally lead the army to send troops, then I will also give you a good armor, how about it? ”

Letting a civilian official go to the battlefield to fight is clearly nonsense. How could Ding Dingwei answer, he snorted coldly at the moment and said: "Okay, even if the army can't win the battle, then let us civil officials negotiate with our mouths." ”
