Chapter 1363 Pillar of Ding Guo

Feng Yao served Xiao Rongyan a cup of hot tea, then stood aside without saying a word.

"I heard that Liu Rushi came out today?" Xiao Rongyan asked.

"Exactly..." Wang Hanbing nodded, "Master Liu is truly amazing."

Xiao Rongyan picked up the teacup and asked: "Apart from talking about the hostage of the eldest prince to Da Zhou today, what else did you talk about?"

"In the words of the Regent, we have already talked about drawing up several connected cities to compete with. After all, if the two countries are completely liquidated, it may not be easy." Wang Hanbing replied respectfully.

Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes and used the lid of the teacup to press the floating tea leaves inside, but he didn't intend to take off his mask to drink tea: "Then...how did the matter of Da Zhou's hostage go?"

"Prince Regent! Speaking of this, I will be angry..." An envoy from Yan State stepped forward and gave Wang Hanbing a white look, and cupped his hands, "Da Zhou is not only unwilling to host someone to our Yan State, but also what... the weak have no qualifications." Making demands with the strong is simply too deceitful!"

The flickering candles in the main hall reflected Xiao Rongyan's gleaming mask, and those bottomless black eyes became more and more gloomy.

He pondered for a moment before saying: "Although I feel humiliated, what Da Zhou said is not wrong."

"But the two countries are now negotiating peace and gambling about the country, how could Da Zhou be so disregarding the etiquette of diplomatic relations and humiliating!" The envoy of the Yan Kingdom was still upset.

"Etiquette in diplomatic relations, to put it bluntly, is a saying that the strong are humble and fool the weak. From ancient times to the present, I have never seen any strong people really give in at the peace negotiation table. It is the weak who bow their knees and endure humiliation to beg for peace." Xiao Rongyan held His teacup was placed on the small table at hand, and his voice could not hear any emotion.

"My lord, now Dazhou is unwilling to host people and the country of Yan, which is too dangerous for our country of Yan." Wang Hanbing's voice was as calm as his eyes, "It's easy to ask for soldiers, but difficult to ask for generals! So we have to do the best." Bad plan, if the second prince and General Xie Xun are all pledged to Da Zhou, the main force of our Yan Kingdom will be able to return from Xiliang, but Da Zhou suddenly regrets sending troops to attack, my lord...can you fully dispatch our Yan army to resist Big week?"

Xiao Rongyan knew in his heart that Bai Qingyan wanted to be gentle and unified, and knew that as long as Yan Guo agreed to the hostage, Bai Qingyan would not send troops, but he had to be on the safe side.

As Bai Qingyan, as Xiao Rongyan and Murong Li, they are willing to gamble and admit defeat, but in case something happens to the people below, they still need to clean it up.

Xiao Rongyan knocked on the table with his fingers, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Since Da Zhou doesn't want to host someone in the Yan Kingdom, let's change the name, change the title..."

Wang Hanbing couldn't understand Xiao Rongyan's meaning for a while, so he got up and bowed to Xiao Rongyan: "Please enlighten me, my lord."

"Since the cities have been designated and these cities are used to gamble on the country, then Da Zhou must send people to supervise them...in case we, the Yan Kingdom, play tricks on them!" Xiao Rongyan looked up at Wang Hanbing, and Wang Hanbing's eyes lit up Then he knew that Wang Hanbing understood what he meant.

"What the prince said is true!" Wang Hanbing admired Xiao Rongyan's ingenuity, why he never thought of it at the time, "Emperor Da Zhou wants to send someone to supervise, of course he has to send someone he can trust."

"At that time, you don't have to say that you want Da Zhou to send people there, you just need to say that our country of Yan needs to send people to supervise, in case Da Zhou tampers with it, if you ask... then you must say that you must send the emperor's relatives, and it is temporarily inconvenient to ask Da Zhou revealed that if Da Zhou is worried, he can send someone to Yandi for supervision." Xiao Rongyan shook the non-existent dust on his clothes, stood up and said, "Let's talk about it! Let's settle this matter as soon as possible , His Majesty will be at ease!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rongyan raised his foot and walked out of the main hall, Feng Yao also followed.

The envoys of the Yan Kingdom hurriedly bowed to Xiao Rongyan to say goodbye, and when they heard that Xiao Rongyan was walking away with the guards, they stood up and discussed a lot, all of them were excited.

"You said why didn't we think of such a good idea at the time!" An envoy of the Yan Kingdom excitedly said, "We sent people to supervise the city of the gambling kingdom of Dazhou. It is reasonable, since we sent people to supervise...naturally. Da Zhou also wants to send people to our country of Yan to supervise these cities, and the emperor of Da Zhou has so many younger brothers and sisters, so he naturally wants to send someone he can trust to go there!"

"Nonsense, if you can think of it...then you can be the regent too!" The Minister of Yan State excitedly finished speaking, quickly covered his mouth with his hands, looked out, and smiled, "I made a slip of the tongue! A slip of the tongue Yes! But if this matter can be finalized, His Majesty, the Queen Mother... and the Regent can rest assured."

"The Prince Regent is really the pillar of our Yan Kingdom!"

In the next few days, the negotiations between the two countries went very smoothly, but they couldn't negotiate after many discussions when planning the city.

Bai Jintong sent back news one after another, and analyzed the various cities of Yan State.

As for the country of Yan, not to mention Xiao Rongyan has been in the Great Zhou for many years, he also has a foundation in the Great Zhou, so he naturally has some understanding of the general situation of the Great Zhou city.

The cities selected by the two countries must be similar in strength to the cities selected by the other side, even if they are different, they must not be too far apart, and they must be connected together, so that it will be easier to manage and liquidate.

Bai Qingyan called Liu Rushi to the palace and had dinner with her.

Liu Rushi knelt and sat at the seat of Bai Qingyan's head, talking with Bai Qingyan about the entanglement that happened at Honglu Temple today about the city they chose.

The palace maid came forward to add hot rice wine to Liu Rushi. Liu Rushi held the cup, nodded lightly and signaled to the palace maid that it was all right, then knelt down and spoke to Bai Qing, "I am looking at the state of Yan. What the envoys said when we chose the city of Great Zhou seemed to know something about the city of Great Zhou, especially the old land of Daliang. I'm afraid he knew it better than the minister. Your Majesty... Our Great Zhou There are spies from their country of Yan in the territory!"

"This is natural. Our Great Zhou also has spies in the country of Yan, otherwise...how did the situation of those cities in the country of Yan be sent to Mr. Liu!" Bai Qingyan smiled and pinched an elbow, knowing very well in his heart. What the hell is going on, there is Xiao Rongyan behind the Yan State Mission, can you not know the situation of the Great Zhou City?

Originally, Bai Qingyan understood the nails that Xiao Rongyan planted in the old land of Jin, but Bai Qingyan really didn't know so clearly the manpower that Xiao Rongyan placed in the old land of Daliang.

Seeing that Bai Qingyan didn't seem to be paying much attention, Liu Rushi put down his chopsticks, bowed to Bai Qingyan, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty should take this matter seriously!"

"Master Liu, don't worry, this is a matter of the school affairs office. The school affairs office is now checking the eyes and ears of these Yan kingdoms." Bai Qingyan smiled and said to Master Liu, "Besides, when the water is clear, there will be no fish...so there are Keep these eyes and ears for a while, maybe they will come in handy, so don’t worry.”
