Chapter 1001 Besieged on all sides
Because it was on the outskirts of the metropolitan city, the house that had just been rebuilt by the honorable family of the Jin Dynasty could be used after a little repair by the Ministry of Industry, so the girls' school went very smoothly. The ministers sent their girls to the school one after another.
Shen Tianzhi was sitting opposite Bai Qingyan, having lunch with Bai Qingyan, while talking about the grand occasion of the women's school.
"Girls from the families of important ministers and officials in the court go first, and then when the girls' school expands, more girls can come to the school..." Shen Tianzhi said.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Master Shen, please take care of the expansion..."
"Your Majesty..." Wei Zhong approached Bai Qingyan with small steps, and said in a low voice, "Please see King Yan of Xiliang, he seems to want to resign and return home."
Seeing this, Shen Tianzhi hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and walked to the center of the hall to salute Bai Qing: "Your Majesty, I have finished eating, so I will take my leave first..."
Bai Qingyan nodded, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "Master Shen, please take care of the blueprint of the expansion, so I won't look at it again."
Shen Tianzhi hurriedly bowed to Bai Qingyan to salute, and then exited the hall.
"Take it!" Bai Qingyan put down the veil, took the honeydew from Chuntao and rinsed her mouth.
After tidying up a bit, Nanny Tong and Chun Zhi waited on Bai Qingyan to change clothes, and then accompanied by Wei Zhong and Chun Tao went to the front hall to meet Yan Wang Li Zhijie of Xiliang.
In the main hall, Li Zhijie held his folding fan tightly. Today is his last fight for Xiliang. Since Yan Guo dared to tell him that the ghost-faced general Rong Di was from the Bai family, why couldn't he just use it as his own? How about this news to Empress Da Zhou? If Da Zhou and Dayan can be picked to fight, Xiliang will be at least temporarily stable.
He tried his best to try once, if it really didn't work, he had to go back to Xiliang and find another way.
Hearing the eunuch singing the report, Li Zhijie got up and bowed to the chief outside the hall.
Bai Qingyan glanced at Li Zhijie, whose eyes were downcast and his complexion was not very good-looking, he raised his foot and stepped across the threshold, and said, "You don't need to be polite, King Yan, I heard that King Yan is here to say goodbye?"
Li Zhijie bent down respectfully until he heard Bai Qingyan take his seat, then he straightened his back, nodded and said: "Now Yan Guo stays in Dadu City for the purpose of marriage, while Xiliang stays in Dadu City." The capital city is for an alliance, but... the foreign minister got a message, hesitated for nearly a month, and decided to bid farewell to the empress. If the empress really wants to form an alliance with Xiliang, the empress is asked to send an envoy to accompany the foreign minister Go back to Yunjing to sign the covenant."
She looked at Li Zhijie's serious tone, and asked with a low smile: "But because... the Prince of Dayan Nine told you that the prince of Rongdi ghost face is a matter of the Bai family?"
Li Zhijie raised his head suddenly...
Seeing Li Zhijie's surprised expression, she stroked the armrest of the seat with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Because Dayan signed a covenant with Rong Di not to attack Xiliang within three years, Dayan's army was able to return to the country, so there is no It is a legitimate excuse to attack Xiliang, let me guess... Did the Ninth Prince of Dayan tell you... the way to save Xiliang is to pay tribute to Dayan?"
Li Zhijie's palms were covered with sweat, and he even suspected that when he was talking with the Ninth Prince, Bai Qingyan sent someone to eavesdrop.
"Is King Yan planning to go back to the country after being frightened by the Nine Kings of Dayan, and tell the Empress of Xiliang that he wants to pay tribute to Dayan?" She took the azure blue sweet porcelain wide-mouth teacup from Chuntao with a half-smile, Seeing Chuntao winking at her, she waved her hand to signal Li Zhijie to sit down, "Sit down, King Yan, let's talk after drinking some tea."
Li Zhijie stood still and resisted very much. She didn't force it, just smiled and said: "Let's not talk about it, if Xiliang wants to pay tribute and become a vassal, will the Empress of Xiliang agree? Will the family agree? Even... according to what Lord Dayan Jiu said, Lord Rong Di Guimian belongs to my Great Zhou, then... if you really want to pay tribute, wouldn't it be more important for Xiliang to pay tribute to Da Zhou? good?"
Hearing this, Li Zhijie's feeling of meat on a chopping board became even stronger. He pursed his lips, and finally sat down at Bai Qingyan's lower seat.
"What does King Yan think? Let's hear it..." Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Li Zhijie only felt that Xiliang is already besieged by internal and external troubles, so he looked up at Bai Qingyan with a wry smile, and said, "I think about it, the conditions for your Majesty's peace negotiation will change again?"
She nodded with a smile: "Since both Rong and Di belong to my Great Zhou, Dayan can even ask Xiliang to pay tribute and become a minister, why can't Da Zhou?"
Li Zhijie closed his eyes, full of... the words "Da Yan Jiu Wang Ye killed me".
"Paying tribute and claiming that the general is not here, Li Zhijie dare not be a sinner through the ages of Xiliang!" Li Zhijie straightened his back and bowed to Bai Qingyan, "Therefore, the foreign minister can only bid farewell to His Majesty, and return to the country to meet with you." Xiliang will live and die together."
"King Yan, don't worry, I have already sent my third younger brother Bai Qingqi to Yunjing, Xiliang, to discuss an alliance with the Empress of Xiliang, and I think it is already on the way back, so King Yan can wait for the news with me in the capital city. "Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Li Zhijie was stunned, and then remembered that the Ninth Prince of Yan said earlier that the cousin Bai Qingqi, who had just returned from the Empress of the Great Zhou, went to the direction of southern Xinjiang. It turned out that... she went to Xiliang!
"Why, have you never heard His Majesty mention it before?" Li Zhijie asked with a frown.
"Of course, in order to prevent Dayan from listening to the news..." Bai Qingyan put down the teacup in his hand.
"If the envoys sent by Your Majesty... want us to pay tribute from Xiliang and become ministers." Li Zhijie looked at Bai Qingyan firmly, "Then, the foreign ministers can definitely tell Your Majesty that I, the Empress of Xiliang, is absolutely won't agree."
"Can you agree, let's just wait! After all, even if King Yan returns to the country now, it won't help. Staying in the capital city... can still deal with Dayan, oh...or discuss with Rong Di's ghost-faced prince, Can the battle between Rongdi and Xiliang be avoided." Bai Qingyan looked indifferent, and slowly blew into the teacup, "Yan Wang, try it, this is the cloud tea sent by Mr. Xiao. I remember that there are not many shops in Mr. Xiao in Xiliang, so he probably didn't send such good tea there."
Bai Qingyan's seemingly innocuous words made Li Zhijie's heart skip a beat...
Perhaps, you can try to talk to Lord Rong Di about making an alliance. It is reasonable to say that weak countries should unite to resist the strong, but why did Rong Di insist on Xiliang? This point made him believe that Rong Di's ghost-faced prince was from the Bai family.
In vain of his self-proclaimed wisdom, he never thought of seriously asking this matter in front of Rong Di's ghost-faced lord.
Thinking of this, Li Zhijie forced himself to stand up calmly, and saluted Bai Qing slowly.
