Everyone else couldn't help but curse, "Shameless!"
When an emperor leads troops into battle, it is called a personal military campaign, and there are examples of this from very early times.
Some emperors did indeed disregard life and death, but others simply found it amusing. After messing things up and being arrested, those who were afraid of death still were.
Zhou Tiancheng's words clearly demonstrate his shamelessness to the very end.
Kazan's expression changed at this point.
Arrogant?
He certainly has the right to be arrogant.
The Great Qian Dynasty's emphasis on filial piety and the rigid hierarchical system of ruler and subject held him back. As long as he produced the gold medal and the letter, he didn't believe the Great Qian Dynasty would dare to kill him.
But he happened to encounter a prince who was extremely murderous and impervious to reason.
He couldn't help but say something.
"That letter was authenticated!"
Zhou Tiancheng remained calm.
"Letters can be forged. One letter proves nothing. Unless my grandfather stands before me personally and tells me that he wrote it, I will not admit it!"
What is this?
To act shamelessly.
But in their hearts, Qin Zhiang, Zheng Rong, and the others had to admit that this scoundrel was quite good at playing dirty tricks.
if not?
Otherwise, would they really listen to Kazan and become dogs for Beixia?
Did they really go to welcome the retired emperor back and seize their power?
Kazan frowned upon hearing this, suddenly realizing that he seemed to have made a mistake.
If someone wants to destroy him, no matter what he produces, the other party can completely deny it.
Kazan hesitated for a moment, his mind already starting to back down, and quickly came up with one last reason.
"Since Your Highness claims this letter is fake, what proof do you have?"
"Putting everything else aside, at least this letter has been verified by your people. Now it's your turn to produce proof, isn't it?"
"Otherwise, if you say it's fake and I say it's real, neither of us can convince the other, so we might as well just keep arguing here every day."
Zhou Tiancheng smiled slightly.
Are you kidding me?
He has played countless roles, including some in the gritty tech industry.
How to prove a letter is fake?
He has plenty of methods and means.
Hearing Kazan's words, Zhou Tiancheng's lips curled up. Far from being angry, he was confident.
"You're the one who produced this letter, aren't you?"
Kazan didn't understand what Zhou Tiancheng meant and thought the prince was going to make trouble again. After nodding slightly, he added a sentence.
"So what if I produced it? This letter has been verified by your people!"
Zhou Tiancheng shook his head.
That's not what I meant.
"You produced this letter, so you must recognize it. Since you're so sure it's genuine, how about this: I'll have a few letters forged. If you can find the real one among them, I'll admit that no one can forge a letter to this extent, and that this letter is definitely real."
"But if you can't find it, or you find the wrong one, then it proves that someone can indeed forge something that can deceive the world. This letter may also have been forged by you. The Great Qian will not take the words on it seriously. Whether the Emperor Emeritus is still alive or really in Northern Xia is still up for debate."
Kazan's face turned black.
He had already produced a genuine letter, yet the Crown Prince still insisted on making such harsh conditions; it was clear he was trying to renege on his promise.
But he simply couldn't explain it.
After all, the retired emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty is not actually here.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally gave it a try.
Why should I agree to that?
Zhou Tiancheng appeared indifferent.
"Your reluctance to agree only proves that the letter is fake, doesn't it?"
Kazan frowned and began to ponder.
If he doesn't agree, it means he's admitting the letter is fake, and the Crown Prince will have him beheaded.
If he agrees, the letter might be genuine, and he might still have a chance.
This is, after all, the imperial court of the Great Qian Dynasty; he seems to have no other choice.
This moment.
He was already starting to regret it; he shouldn't have been so arrogant in the first place.
But it's too late to regret it now.
Kazan gritted his teeth and finally agreed.
"Then let's do as His Highness the Crown Prince says. If I don't choose the original, I'll admit that the letter might be a forgery. In that case, I'm willing to kneel down and apologize to your Great Qian Dynasty. I'll do anything you ask!"
"However, I must also remind you that this letter has been with me all this way, and I've seen and touched it countless times. There's virtually no chance you can forge it and fool me!"
What does that mean?
In other words, he doesn't want to die. If he makes the wrong choice, he can kneel down and apologize to make amends for his previous arrogance. This is Zhou Tiancheng's ultimate goal: to demand an equal negotiating environment.
Zhou Tiancheng smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"Those who understand the times are wise."
"I won't make things difficult for you. If you choose the original, we can continue negotiating the matter of welcoming back the Emperor Emeritus, as if nothing happened before. How about that?"
He didn't mention the deal, nor did he accuse Kazan of being rude; instead, he let the other party off the hook.
Because the retired emperor might actually be alive, if he were too aggressive, people would say he wanted to kill the retired emperor.
The only solution is for both sides to compromise.
However, it can be said that Zhou Tiancheng single-handedly erased the insults that Beixia had done to Daqian!
The idea of the retired emperor kneeling or treating him like merchandise will no longer be discussed at that time. Even Kazan will have to obediently follow the rules for envoys and negotiate terms with the Great Qian.
Zhou Tiancheng's actions already demonstrate that of a mature crown prince.
Zhou Rui nodded to Zhou Tiancheng with satisfaction.
Zhou Tianze witnessed this scene, and his face turned ashen.
The fake prince has once again stolen the limelight.
This is worse than killing him!
But at this moment, he couldn't say anything and could only stand there pretending to be a block of wood.
In contrast to him, Zhou Tiancheng took the original letter, then turned to look at Kazan and, in front of Kazan, wrote the word "true" on the back of the original letter.
"Wait a moment, I will send ten letters. You must not turn them over. Of all the originals, only one letter has the word 'true' written on the back."
"If you are chosen, then we will negotiate according to the terms in the letter, and we will do our best to welcome back our grandfather."
"If you are not chosen, you will have to kneel down and kowtow to my father to apologize. The terms of the negotiation have nothing to do with this letter. Whether my grandfather lives or dies is not up to you. You have to bring him here to prove it."
Kazan took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
He had no other choice; this was his only option.
Zhou Tiancheng didn't say much, and took the letter and went downstairs.
Fake?
He's somewhat of an insider.
To put it another way, he made movies about counterfeit money and fake antiques in later years.
He had a fairly good grasp of the ins and outs of this, if not a complete understanding.
The only shortcomings are practical experience and attention to detail.
Zhou Tiancheng may not know how, but there are other people in the world who do!
Upon returning to the East Palace, Zhou Tiancheng immediately summoned Huang Chen and instructed him to find some people who specialize in making counterfeit goods.
These people often live in the shadows and seem difficult to find, but in reality, the imperial court can find them with ease.
Steward Liu went directly to the Jingzhao Prefecture, found several prisoners in related industries in the prison, tortured them, and immediately obtained the address.
Following closely behind, large numbers of imperial guards and imperial guards acted together and directly arrested the man and brought him to the Eastern Palace.
Five people knelt before Zhou Tiancheng, looking at the so-called crown prince in terror.
Zhou Tiancheng didn't waste any words.
"I need you to help me forge several letters, and every detail must be perfect, with absolutely no mistakes."
"I also have some procedures here. You use your skills, along with my procedures, to create the letter for me!"
The five men kowtowed repeatedly.
They dared not refuse!
