The Caogou who returned to the palace received two pieces of news from Jinshi. First, the Jin Dynasty hopes to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty;

Second, the two emperors of the former dynasty, Zhao Ji, the father of Zhao Gou, and Zhao Huan, as well as the concubines of the harem,

were all returned together and are now waiting for handover at the northern border.

Upon hearing these two pieces of news, Caogou's expression turned cold.

Back then, Cao Cao defeated the powerful enemy Yuan Shao, but when faced with Yuan Shao's two sons, he chose not to attack and instead returned to his base.

Someone asked Cao Cao why he did this?

He said, "If I push too hard, they will unite against me."

"If I relax, they will fight among themselves."

Sure enough, later on, without Cao Cao as a major threat, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought each other and were ultimately killed, their heads sent to Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, now the Jin people are using the same tactic against him.

When it comes to conspiracies and tricks, Caogou has seen plenty in his past life.

He clearly understands the intentions behind the Jin people returning the two "saints" at this time.

Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan stood by, waiting for Caogou's instructions.

What do the two ministers mean?

Wang Boyan spoke up first: "I believe that peace talks at this time would be a benevolent act for both countries. After years of war, the nation is exhausted and it is time to stabilize."

Huang Qianshan also agreed: "I concur, Your Majesty."

The two ministers are truly dedicated to the country... The Emperor approves!
