Chapter 1317 Bullying

"We have a lot of soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if the hostages are in the Yan Kingdom, what's the problem? When it's time to fight...we will not lack good generals!" The general cupped his hands in the direction of Bai Qingyan, " Not to mention that our Majesty, who is good at fighting, is the God of War of our Great Zhou."

"Right now, the country of Yan is begging our Da Zhou to agree to this gambling strategy, and it is the country of Yan who is in danger of subjugation. It's not the two countries who signed an equal alliance. Why does Yan ask our Da Zhou to send a hostage to Yan?" Bai Qing Yan smiled and said, "Since we are strong in the Great Zhou Dynasty, we have to show a strong posture... The strong bullies the weak, why are our courtiers still talking about fairness with Yan Guo, uncle, you are too sincere..."

When Bai Qingyan said this, the atmosphere in the courtroom eased up, and some courtiers laughed out loud because of Bai Qingyan's phrase "bullying the weak".

"Yes! What Your Majesty said is true! We are a strong country... we must show the aura of a strong country, what is a strong country if you don't bully the weak! Dong Situ, you are too sincere!"

Dong Qingping also laughed out loud when he heard this, touched his nose and said, "It's my fault! Let's just follow His Majesty's instructions and bully and bully the country of Yan..."

The tense atmosphere in the court disappeared, and even Lu Taiwei couldn't help but curled up his lips, and looked at Shen Sikong.

"Naturally..." Bai Qingyan paced unhurriedly on top of the high ranks, "If you bully the weak, you have to relax, and you can't go too far. What I mean is... Yan Kingdom must send their regent The king, the prince Murong Ping, and the general Xie Xun have pledged to our Great Zhou, and our Great Zhou can send Yunjing to the Kingdom of Yan."

"Yunjing is not a big deal, it's a city... What we gain today is lost tomorrow, anyway, sooner or later it will belong to our Great Zhou!" A general said confidently, "However, it is the King of Zhen who is almost in danger for this Yunjing... this Yunjing is like this After giving it to the country of Yan, I still feel uncomfortable."

He, a military general who was not able to participate in the battle to destroy Xiliang in the capital city, felt uncomfortable, let alone those soldiers of the Great Zhou who fought in Xiliang and managed to take down Yunjing, let alone... The soldiers under the command of Bai Qingyu, the king of the town.

"Don't get cheap and act like a good boy!" Bai Qingyan looked at the general and said with a smile, "One Yunjing can be exchanged for Yanguo, this is a good deal!"

"What Your Majesty said is right!" Shen Sikong nodded, "As long as Yan's capable generals are detained in the capital city, even if there is a fight in the future, our Great Zhou has nothing to fear! This opportunity to bet on the country... ...well worth a try."

"But can the country of Yan agree?"

"Yan Kingdom has no choice now, either Dazhou can send troops to destroy the country now! Or... obediently send people to the capital city, and live on for three years." Shen Sikong looked at Lv Taiwei, "Taiwei, you Say, it's you... how do you choose?"

"If I were the country of Yan, these three years... would be an opportunity to gather strength and fight to the death. Why not?" In the future, if we really win our Da Zhou in the state affairs, our Da Zhou will obediently offer Da Zhou with both hands."

"However, the old minister feels that it is more likely that Yan Guo wants to use three years to build up his strength!" Lu Taiwei said.

Bai Qingyan also nodded: "No matter what, it's the country of Yan, not my Great Zhou, that is imminent now. The country of Yan must be more anxious than us, and let them wait!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Qingyan looked at Liu Rushi again: "Master Liu..."

Liu Rushi stepped forward quickly: "My minister is here!"

"This time, I will leave it to you to discuss the matter of the alliance between the two countries. Let us say that Emperor Yan's national policy bets on the country. We Da Zhou agreed, but the prerequisites and requirements must be clearly explained with Yan! If Yan does not agree We have no other choice but to fight! It also prevents the Yan Kingdom from saying that our Da Zhou does not care about the lives of soldiers, does not care about the lives of the people, and is militaristic."

"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry!" Liu Rushi responded.

"By the way...the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Yan is also in the Yan embassy this time, so let's keep the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Yan too!" Bai Qingyan said with a smile, "Don't worry about talking, let's hang out first." Go to them for a few days."

"I understand, Your Majesty and I are together!" Liu Rushi said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Mr. Liu to be in charge of this matter."

Liu Rushi's mouth never disappoints Bai Qingyan, so let them talk!

Bai Qing said that if he opened his mouth, he would keep the Regent of Yan Kingdom as a hostage in Dazhou, and I am afraid that the entire court of Yan Kingdom would not agree.

But Da Zhou agreed to Murong Lek's plan of merging the two countries smoothly without causing problems for Yan Guo. I am afraid that it will make the court of Yan Guo and Queen Mother Yan suspicious. The Emperor Zhou and the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all idiots.

The more difficult it is for Yan Guo to talk this time, the Empress Dowager Yan will understand how stiff the quarrel between her and Xiao Rongyan is.

If... If the Empress Dowager Yan really allowed Xiao Rongyan to stay in Dazhou in order to preserve the country, that's fine... then their family can also be reunited in advance.

However, if Empress Dowager Yan didn't argue with reason and tried every means to get Xiao Rongyan to go back, she might hurt Ah Yan's heart.

She knew that Ah Yan had always respected her sister-in-law.

Soon, the news that Yan State came to Zhou this time and wanted to judge victory or defeat based on national policy and determine a strategy for the merger of the two countries spread.

Not only the students of the Guozijian were talking about it, but even the people in the streets and alleys who cared about political affairs were talking about it.

Most of the students in this matter do not agree with the national policy of determining winners and losers and merging the two countries. After all, Da Zhou’s army is now on the border of Yan State and is ready to go. It can destroy Yan State at any time. Why don’t you eat the meat of your mouth? Don't have to wait three years.

But the common people felt that it would be a good thing if the two countries could be merged into one country without fighting, and the unification of the world would be achieved. In this way, there would be no more things that hurt the people in the frontier fortresses for the respective interests of the two countries.

Naturally, there are also some people who think that the two countries have their own affairs, and they don't necessarily have to be unified, just non-aggression.

The capital city is under the feet of the emperor, and the common people will naturally be more concerned about political affairs.

In order to show off to the Yan State Mission, Xiao Rongyan sent people out to inquire about the news in various places in the metropolis, to find out the views of the servants of the honored families on this matter.

The views of the servants are often influenced by the master, so from the servants, it can be revealed whether some nobles agree with the merger of the two countries, and then let Zhong Xingxiao go to take care of it.

Zhong Xingxiao even claimed that it was true, and also sent someone to investigate in private. He was afraid that Xiao Rongyan would not agree with the merger of the two countries, and was forced by the Queen Mother to come to the capital city. He gave him the wrong news about the bet between the two countries this time, and finally asked him to take the blame.
