Chapter 1505
The Regent of the Yan Kingdom and the Empress Dowager of the Dongyi Kingdom sat opposite each other at the lower heads of the two emperors.
As the host, Tuoba Yao held up the wine glass in front of him, and respectfully toasted Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan: "Dongyi Kingdom is really difficult now, and the hospitality is not good enough. Please also invite His Majesty Zhou Haihan, and please regent Haihan!"
There was a slight smile between Bai Qingyan's eyebrows: "It's reasonable, Emperor Dongyi is being polite. His Majesty has injuries and is still young, so there is no need to drink wine."
Said Bai Qingyan and drank the glass of wine.
After Xiao Rongyan raised his glass to signal, he said: "It's not convenient for me to drink alcohol, so I hope... the new emperor of Dongyi, Haihan."
After Tuoba Yao nodded, he continued: "Your Majesty Zhou and Regent Yan have also seen that our Dongyi Kingdom is in dire straits. Today, I dare to ask His Majesty Da Zhou and Regent Yan here for a merciless favor. Our Dongyi Kingdom Can the promised compensation... be paid within three years, such a one-time payment is too heavy a burden for the Dongyi Kingdom."
This is something that Tuoba Yao discussed with the courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom. Originally, the courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom did not want their new emperor to beg for help, but Tuoba Yao said... Compared with Dongyi Kingdom, what is his dignity? The country is gone, so there is no dignity.
Tuoba Yao said these words from the bottom of his heart, with the Great Wei gone, what dignity does he have as an emperor!
Dongyi Kingdom said before that a doll ascended the throne as the emperor, and when Dongyi left a mess, they might have to count on the Queen Mother of Dongyi, but they didn't expect this baby emperor to impress them. Different is different.
Now the whole court of Dongyi Kingdom is either Da Zhou's own courtiers, or they have already been subdued by Tuoba Yao.
Tuoba Yao knew in his heart that the empress dowager of the Dongyi kingdom pinched her nose to recognize her fake son, and he felt uncomfortable. If he were the empress of the Dongyi kingdom, even though he was afraid of being a rat, he could be put under house arrest to ensure that he would not be hurt. Take his own life, and make a fake one to replace him, put on his mask, and control the court of Dongyi Kingdom.
Therefore, Tuoba Yao must hold the entire Dongyi court in the palm of his hand, so that the court cannot be separated from him, and the empress dowager of the Dongyi country dare not do the thing of changing people midway.
Although the Great Zhou Emperor gave him this opportunity and the available manpower, he still had to strive for it himself.
Bai Qingyan understood that Tuoba Yao was about to win over the hearts of the courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom step by step, and felt very relieved. After thinking about it, he said: "In this way...60% of the compensation will be paid first, and the remaining 40% will be paid within two years. ,how?"
"Yan Kingdom is not as wealthy as Dazhou, but it is not impossible to make concessions. It's just... about the garrison. Yesterday, this king told the court of Dongyi Kingdom to discuss the time. I don't know how the negotiations of Dongyi Kingdom are going?" Xiao Rongyan Gently shaking the fine wine in the glass, but without taking off the mask, he looked like he didn't like the wine of Dongyi country.
Bai Jinzhi glanced at his elder brother-in-law, then at his seventh brother, and motioned for his seventh brother to look at his brother-in-law. This bullying posture was so well-crafted that no one could see any flaws, he was too good at acting! Bai Jinse, the seventh younger sister of their family, is even better at acting. It's really time for the seventh younger sister to come and see how good the eldest brother-in-law is.
Bai Jinzhi didn't know why he thought of King Liang of the Jin Dynasty. Looking at her eldest brother-in-law now, she was better at acting than King Liang. Just look at the condescending attitude of the Regent of Yan Kingdom. Who can compare her with himself? The eldest brother-in-law who is so graceful and gentle to everyone is connected.
If Bai Jinzhi didn't know Xiao Rongyan's identity, and someone else came to tell him that the Regent of Yan Kingdom was Xiao Rongyan, she probably wouldn't believe it and would beat that person up, thinking that he was mocking her for being stupid and deliberately fooling her.
"The matter of stationing troops..." The little emperor of Dongyi Kingdom put down the cup in his hand, faced his enemy, the regent of Yan Kingdom, with a respectful attitude, and said slowly, "Yan Kingdom wants to garrison troops, and Dongyi Kingdom does indeed." There is no room for resistance, but...is the number of troops stationed in the Yan Kingdom too large? Moreover, all the military funds come from the Dongyi Kingdom, so it is really hard to do."
"Yesterday, I think the King, His Majesty and the Queen Mother have made it very clear that the garrison is the bottom line of the Yan Kingdom, and we will never back down..." Xiao Rongyan put the wine glass on the table heavily, leaned against the table lazily, and looked eastward. Empress Dowager Yi, "The emperor is young, what does the Empress Dowager say?"
"The harem...is not allowed to interfere in politics, so why does the Regent make things difficult for my mother?" Tuoba Yao said that the harem should not interfere in politics to protect his mother, but in fact, he wanted to tell the courtiers of Dongyi Kingdom. In the future, Tuoba Yao didn't intend to let the Queen Mother of Dongyi Kingdom use his young age as an excuse to create an auxiliary political queen to rule him and make him restrained.
"Since that's the case, Yan Guo has nothing to say." Xiao Rongyan cupped his hands in Bai Qingyan's direction.
"The King Regent of Yan brought less than 3,000 armored soldiers, but I think...it's okay to garrison troops. Could it be possible that 3,000 armored soldiers can still invade the capital of Dongyi Kingdom?" Bai Qingyan said with a smile. , "There are soldiers from Dazhou watching on the left and right. Dongyi Kingdom is also a subordinate state of Dazhou. If one day Yan Kingdom really attacks the capital of Dongyi Kingdom for no reason, is it possible that Dazhou's army can still watch?"
"Three thousand?" The Empress Dowager of the Dongyi Kingdom glanced at the Regent of the Yan Kingdom, and then looked at Bai Qingyan with a smile, "I'm afraid the Emperor of Great Zhou heard it wrong. The Yan Kingdom wants to garrison eight thousand troops."
But Bai Qingyan smiled and said: "I said three thousand... that's three thousand. General Cheng has led people to investigate this amount, and there will be no mistake."
After speaking, Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan again: "What did the regent say?"
Xiao Rongyan narrowed his eyes, Bai Qingyan never said useless words, and then he thought that since entering the city, the 5,000 men who nested in the valley beside the Emerald River had never reported a letter, and immediately understood... the 5,000 men of his own It must have been discovered by Bai Qingyan, and he had already controlled it.
But when did this happen? Originally... these 5,000 troops were his backhand to deter Dongyi Kingdom, and he specially hid the army there, when did Bai Qingyan find out?
Although surprised, the corners of Xiao Rongyan's lips under the mask couldn't help but twitch, a sense of pride arose in his heart, he didn't expect Ah Bao to be so powerful.
"It seems that His Majesty has trapped the five thousand troops of our Yan Kingdom..." Xiao Rongyan could not hear any joy or anger in his voice.
Bai Qingyan picked up his wine glass and raised his glass to Xiao Rongyan: "The col next to the Emerald River is a good place to camp, the regent is very good at choosing a place, why not... the country of Yan's camp is located there! "
Bai Qingyan pointed out the place where the Yan army was stationed with a smile, which made the Yan generals sitting on the seats restless and looked at their regent.
