Chapter 1315 Eternal Peace
Xiao Rongyan spread his hands towards the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty: "The city that has been taken down by force needs to be rebuilt, and the people have also been beaten! Why did you come here?"
The angry courtiers of the Great Zhou yelled one after another, saying that the Yan Kingdom was forced to do so, and they said it so grandiosely.
"My king admits..." Xiao Rongyan turned to look at Bai Qingyan again, "These two countries have no choice but to decide whether to win or lose based on the national policy. If it weren't for the fact that the country of Yan has nothing to do now, it would not have proposed such a strategy. Bet on Monday! After all, if there is a real fight, no matter whether it is the Great Zhou that destroys the Yan Kingdom, or the Yan Kingdom destroys the Great Zhou, it will become a country. If this is the case, why don’t we choose one without the bloodshed of the soldiers? Don't you need to separate the wives and children of the common people?"
"Whether it's His Majesty the Great Zhou, or our Emperor Yan, we all want to unify the world, or for the achievements that have left a name through the ages, or for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and to return the people to a world of Haiyan and Heqing. Then we There is no need to destroy the cities of the two countries and slaughter the people of the two countries! Instead, the cities and the people should be left intact!" Xiao Rongyan looked at Lv Taiwei again, "Even if the achievements of the ages cannot be achieved, A name left in history... can be regarded as an unprecedented good talk between our two countries."
"Furthermore..." Xiao Rongyan did not wait for the courtiers of the Great Zhou to react, and then continued, "Our Emperor Yan knew that the Emperor of the Great Zhou cherished the people and the lives of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and that the Kingdom of Yan was ashamed of the Great Zhou, so our Emperor Yan After discussing with the empress dowager, the emperor and the queen mother made concessions to make up for the one or two emperors of the Zhou Dynasty. They were willing to use the national policy to determine the outcome and merge the country! Your Majesty must know... our Murong family of the Yan Kingdom has been the royal family for generations, and the Yan Kingdom is their own for the royal family It must not be changed. If it hadn’t been for this mistake, Da Zhou treated our soldiers well during the alliance period. Neither the Emperor Yan nor our Empress Dowager Yan, nor me, the regent, would agree to the national policies of the two countries. The strategy of winning or losing, after all, at present, our country of Yan is weaker than Da Zhou in all aspects, and the possibility of losing is extremely high."
It was the first time Bai Qingyan knew that Xiao Rongyan's eloquence was so amazing.
"If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask our old uncle of the country of Yan, the brother of the queen mother..." Xiao Rongyan turned sideways, exposing Zhong Xingxiao who had been hiding behind him.
Zhong Xingxiao felt suddenly one head and two big, and hurriedly stepped forward, saluting with Bai Qing: "The ministers have seen His Majesty, and what the regent said is true. We regret that we fell in love with that old man in Cui Shanzhong. Dang, accidentally leaked the plan for the merger of the two countries. It was originally for General Chu to send a letter to the regent to prevent King Zhen and Yinghuihou of the Great Zhou from going to lure the enemy, but who knew that General Chu... actually violated the law... Although General Chu is also for the country of Yan, it is really hateful to destroy the alliance between our two countries. The Queen Mother and His Majesty feel guilty after thinking about it. Shedding blood and sacrificing to prevent the common people from dying, to unite into one country in harmony and friendship."
Seeing that the officials of the Great Zhou court were not as excited as before and were whispering to each other, Bai Qingyan cleared his throat and waved his hands to signal the courtiers of the Great Zhou to be quiet.
In the huge hall, it soon became quiet, and the courtiers all looked towards Bai Qingyan.
Only then did she speak slowly: "This matter is of great importance. After our monarchs and ministers have discussed it, we will give an answer to the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom, and ask the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom to go to the post house to rest first."
"Then... the king will wait for the good news from His Majesty!" Xiao Rongyan led the accompanying envoys to bow to Bai Qingyan.
"Wait!" A military general stepped forward to salute Bai Qing, "Your Majesty, the queen mother of Yan betrayed us Dazhou, causing the king of Zhen to fall into a coma. This time they sent the brother of the queen mother of Yan. Let us handle it!"
Zhong Xingxiao's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Xiao Rongyan nervously.
Bai Qingyan waved his hand to signal the general to step down, and then said: "The regent first go to rest!"
"The foreign minister bid farewell..." Xiao Rongyan nodded.
Yue Shi was so anxious that the eldest girl didn't find an excuse to say that she wanted to have a detailed chat and leave the master behind, so the master would be able to see the two young masters as soon as possible!
"Please..." Wei Zhong hugged Fuchen, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Rongyan, inviting him out of the hall.
Yue Shi could only hide her thoughts and walked out of the hall with Xiao Rongyan.
As soon as he left the main hall, Zhong Xingxiao's legs were weak. Fortunately, his colleagues supported him. He knew in his heart that the regent's identification of his identity just now was clearly out of good intentions!
As soon as Xiao Rongyan led the Yan envoys away, Liu Rushi's face darkened, and he stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, our Great Zhou's morale is now at a high level, and their Yan State has made mistakes first, so this time it has never happened." Tell us Da Zhou how to deal with betraying the king of the town and Ying Huihou, and then he proposed the strategy of merging the two countries, which seems to be surrendering to our Da Zhou, but in fact, Yan Guo is clearly a delaying measure! Your Majesty must never agree!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Our Great Zhou Army has already sent troops to the border of the Yan Kingdom, and we can invade Yandu at any time!" The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall agreed with Liu Rushi's words, "Yan Kingdom is already the meat of our lips, and we must not let it go this time. Pass!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Duanning also stepped forward and said, "We gave Yan Guo the opportunity, but Yan Guo made it clear to us and secretly delayed the time for Yan Guo. Now we should take advantage of Yan Guobai's absence. After recovering, we should immediately send troops westward to take Yandu! Although we have just destroyed Xiliang in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now we are a little tight to fight the Yan State’s military rations, but... for my humble minister, I believe that Mr. Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Households, will definitely Will find a way! The opportunity to destroy Yan is close at hand, Your Majesty must not be lenient!"
Zhang Duanning turned to look at Wei Bugong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Wei Bugong stood quietly at the side, not daring to speak, and not daring to look into Zhang Duanning's eyes, only looking down at his own toes.
In fact, he already knew from Lu Jin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, that His Majesty had already finalized the strategy of merging the two countries with the State of Yan. At first, he was also worried that this was a delaying policy of the State of Yan. Later, he found out that this strategy was originally proposed by His Majesty , and the time was set before the two countries destroyed Xiliang, so they were reluctantly relieved.
Therefore, at this moment, he really couldn't go forward with Zhang Duanning to persuade His Majesty to go to war with the Yan Kingdom.
Seeing that Wei Bugong stepped forward to persuade His Majesty together with him, Zhang Duanning was puzzled, and simply looked up at Bai Qing and said: "My minister is also from the military, so I understand...but if you want to unify the world, there will be bloodshed Sacrifice, the soldiers are actually not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but are afraid that the sacrifice is worthless."
