Chapter 1497 The First Four Hundred and Ninety-Three: Vassal

Above the main hall, the Dongyi Kingdom presented the alliance agreement with the Yan Kingdom that was urgently discussed with the Seventh Prince just now, and it turned out that it was handed over to Xiao Rongyan after first showing it to Bai Qing .

Xiao Rongyan stared at the alliance letter for a long time before stretching out his hand to take it. Before he saw it, laughter came from behind the mask. He said: "The seven princes of Dongyi Kingdom really value love and righteousness. The alliance letters of Dongyi Kingdom and Yan Kingdom must first be read by the Emperor of Zhou."

There was a smile on Bai Qingyan's face: "The regent wanted to go wrong. Before the regent came, the courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom and the Seventh Prince had negotiated a peace treaty with Yan Kingdom. I'll take a look at it." At first glance, I felt that I had treated Yan Guo poorly, and I wanted to let him add some more, but if it was added... and then according to the compensation covenant made between Dazhou and Dongyi, Dongyi might leave a huge mess ! It is the common people who suffer! The common people are innocent!"

As he said that, Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan again: "The regent knows that I... I don't want to see the people suffer the most, so even if I could easily destroy Yan, I still agreed to Yan's promise to bet on the country! Therefore... I The compensation that Dongyi Kingdom gave us to Great Zhou was reduced, and Dongyi was asked to pay to Yan Kingdom, and the Seven Princes of Dongyi Kingdom let me take a look."

"In that case, this king has to thank Emperor Da Zhou!" Xiao Rongyan nodded towards Bai Qingyan.

"Yan Guo sent troops to give us a strong reputation in the Great Zhou. How could the Great Zhou make Yan Guo's hard work in vain." The smile in Bai Qingyan's eyes deepened.

Xiao Rongyan understood the meaning of Bai Qingyan's words. Now Dongyi Kingdom is under Da Zhou's name...with Da Zhou's protection, let them accept Yan Guo as soon as they are happy.

Bai Qingyan said this to the officials of Dongyi Kingdom's court when he read the peace treaty written by Dongyi Kingdom to Yan Kingdom. Living in Dongyi Kingdom, how could the courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom be unhappy?

They were so happy that they didn't care about the Emperor Zhou's attack on Dongyi. After all, it was the second prince of Dongyi who provoked him first. He killed King Hancheng and chopped up King Hancheng's body to feed the dogs.

Now that the Emperor of Great Zhou was able to send the Seventh Prince back, and was willing to give up his own interests to stabilize the Yan Kingdom for Dongyi, it was not bad.

The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom folded her hands on her lap, tightly clutching the handkerchief.

Xiao Rongyan unfolded the peace treaty and looked at it. The above compensation is not too much, but it is passable.

"Since the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has read it, there is naturally no problem!" Xiao Rongyan said with a smile, and asked Yueshi to send up the book of the alliance for the Queen of Dongyi Kingdom and Emperor Dongyi to read, "This is for two The covenant that the country has established forever, after the Seventh Prince ascends the throne, the covenant is signed, and our country of Yan should withdraw our troops back!"

"Do you want to pay tribute to Yan? Do you want to station troops in Dongyi?" The queen of Dongyi raised her head in disbelief.

Xiao Rongyan nodded calmly, asking Dongyi to pay tribute... Xiao Rongyan rewrote it after he guessed that Bai Qingyan might steal the dragon and turn the dragon into a phoenix, and arranged for someone who could be controlled by Da Zhou to become the emperor of Dongyi.

It's not that Xiao Rongyan insisted that Dongyi should pay tribute to Yan to become a vassal... But the matter of stationing troops in Dongyi is absolutely non-negotiable, so as to curb the possibility of Dongyi wanting to make trouble.

The idea of ​​paying tribute and becoming a minister is just to take a step back so that Dongyi Kingdom can better accept the matter of garrisoning troops.

"How can this be? We have already surrendered to Da Zhou!"

"Yeah, this... there is no precedent for paying tribute to the two countries!"

The courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom talked a lot, and the person who was proficient in Dongyi language who was beside Xiao Rongyan bent down to whisper in Xiao Rongyan's ear, but Xiao Rongyan raised his hand to stop him, the man immediately retreated to the back and stood with Yue Shi.

"There is no way! Seeing that Dazhou treated Dongyi pretty well before, but Dongyi navy took the lives of King Hancheng of Dazhou and so many sailors of Dazhou in one battle. Our country of Yan is no better than Dazhou... in a fit of anger The national power can support the army to destroy Dongyi!" Xiao Rongyan spoke in Dongyi language, and his voice was calm, which was really surprising, "Our country of Yan also cherishes the lives of our soldiers. We have learned from the past, so it is natural to have guarded against!"

"That was also what the second prince who conspired against him did. Now that the second prince has been punished and our seventh prince ascends the throne, it is too much for the Yan Kingdom to propose such a condition! Our Dongyi Kingdom has surrendered to the Great Zhou... Then we will never be able to surrender to the Yan Kingdom again! It is absolutely impossible!" The courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom raised their voices, trembling with anger.

"What do you think of the new emperor of Dongyi Kingdom?" Xiao Rongyan turned to look at the Seventh Prince of Dongyi who was wearing a mask and sitting on the emperor's seat, and changed his address.

Tuoba Yao turned to look at Xiao Rongyan, and said slowly: "Dongyi has already surrendered to Da Zhou, so he is naturally protected by Da Zhou. I am afraid that His Majesty Da Zhou will not agree to such an unreasonable request from the Regent of Yan Kingdom. What's more... Da Zhou and Yan are gambling, so it doesn't matter if Dongyi is a vassal to Yan or not, when the gambling ends, Da Zhou and Yan will become one, and Dongyi will naturally remain a subsidiary state."

Tuoba Yao withdrew his gaze from looking at Xiao Rongyan, looked straight ahead, looked at the courtiers standing under the high ranks, and continued: "We don't want Dongyi Kingdom to be a vassal state, but to do it... only to be the strongest country vassal state."

What Tuoba Yao said made people unable to tell whether he hoped that Da Zhou's betting country would win or that Yan country would win, but his words were reasonable, and it seemed that there was a little bit of intention to provoke Da Zhou and Yan country, which made Dong The courtiers of the Yi Kingdom were very cheered up. They did not expect that His Majesty was young, but it was not a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch.

The courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom looked at the new emperor who was sitting beside Bai Qingyan, talking slowly, as if they saw the hope of Dongyi Kingdom's future.

Their seventh prince was more like an emperor than the courtiers imagined.

"Exactly! We don't want Dongyi to be a vassal state of other countries. If we want to be a vassal state of the strongest country! If the Regent of Yan wants us to be a vassal state, please wait until you win the bet." After the country, our Dongyi country will definitely bow down respectfully!"

"Yes! Great Zhou is the strongest country now, so I, Dongyi, am willing to be a subsidiary country of Great Zhou, but... the strength of Yan Kingdom will depend on three years from now."

The Empress of Dongyi Kingdom smiled slightly at Xiao Rongyan, and asked, "Prince Regent, have you heard what our new emperor and courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom have said?"

Xiao Rongyan pondered for a moment, and said: "This king is not an unreasonable person. What the new emperor of Dongyi Kingdom said to the courtiers, after thinking about it, this king is somewhat reasonable."

Bai Qingyan, who was sitting in the middle, adjusted her sitting posture and looked towards Xiao Rongyan...
