Chapter 1550 Military Power
Liu Pinggao held the sword at his waist and smiled proudly and honestly: "Our Anping Army has finally stolen the limelight from the Bai Family Army. If we can come out with His Majesty, we naturally have to do everything well to be worthy of Your Majesty's attention."
Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded.
"Your Majesty! The people are here!" Liu Pinggao saw a fast horse approaching in the flying dust in the distance. At the front was their own flag of Zhou Dynasty. He stretched out his hand to show Bai Qingyan.
This place has been heavily protected by the soldiers brought by Liu Pinggao.
Xiao Rongyan, wearing a big cloak, came quickly. When he saw Bai Qingyan's slender and upright figure standing in front of the tent, he raised his hand to signal the guards following him to stop, and went to meet him with only Yue Shi. Bai Qingyan.
"Prince Regent!" The captain of the escort team raised the reins and stepped forward worriedly. "The tent is surrounded by heavy soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are going with only Yue Shi. I'm afraid it's not safe. Why not...ask the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to stay with you in an open place?" Speak, we can see and protect you at any time.”
"No need, Emperor Zhou is not a sinister person!"
After saying that, Xiao Rongyan grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the tent.
"Your Majesty!" The captain of the escort team did not call Xiao Rongyan, his eyes full of sadness.
Bai Qingyan stood in front of the tent with her hands behind her back. Looking at Xiao Rongyan coming towards her, she couldn't help but clenched her hands behind her back.
The meeting with Xiao Rongyan today is for both private and public reasons.
Just now, Bai Qingyan received news before entering Anshun City that the Yan army stationed in Dongyi State seemed to have clashed with the local people. Dongyi State sent troops to protect its people. The two sides fought, and Dongyi State was furious. Zhongshao claimed that it was already a vassal state of the Great Zhou Dynasty and refused to pay the next compensation to Yan State, and officially went to war with Yan State's garrison.
Bai Qingyan didn't know whether this was Tuoba Yao's plan, or whether the Yan garrison was really in conflict with the Dongyi people, so Tuoba Yao followed the trend.
However, Bai Qingyan can see from the letter that Tuoba Yao has indeed taken control of the Dongyi Kingdom's court now, and the important officials of the Dongyi Kingdom's court who have been arranged to enter are not allowed to participate in politics in the future palace, and the emperor is young. As your intelligence is outstanding and you are worthy of such a big job, please feel free to accompany the late Emperor.
It was the emperor who came forward to protect the empress dowager, saying that he would follow the late emperor's decree and invite the empress dowager to accompany the late emperor after he came of age. Everyone in the court praised the emperor's benevolence and filial piety. The empress dowager Dongyi was completely abandoned by the courtiers. Tuoba Yao sent people to keep her under strict house arrest in the harem. Among them, the news spread that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and bedridden.
Perhaps because the current situation of the Dongyi Kingdom is the same as that of the Yan Kingdom when it was most difficult, and because although the young emperor is young, he is very decisive, it is rare for the Dongyi Kingdom to work together. Emperor Jianfeng of the Dongyi Kingdom pointed out... …The whole Dongyi Kingdom went ahead and succeeded without hesitation.
According to Tuoba Yao's temperament, if the Empress Dowager Dongyi stays on her own terms, he might still keep the Empress Dowager Dongyi alive and allow her to meet the real seventh prince of the Dongyi Kingdom in the future. If the Empress Dowager of the Dongyi Kingdom gets into trouble again... I'm afraid... He will not keep the Queen Mother of Dongyi!
Bai Qingyan had seen that child's determination for revenge. That child could do anything cruel to him for revenge, let alone the Queen Mother of Dongyi Kingdom.
Bai Qingyan wanted to see if he could find out from Xiao Rongyan today whether Xiao Rongyan planned to split up his troops in Dongyi.
"Xu..."
Xiao Rongyan saw Bai Qingyan's eagerness and came flying towards him. When he was approaching, he reined in the horse as fast as he could. The black horse stood upright and stood firm. The heroic man on the horse jumped off the horse and walked towards Bai Qingyan's direction.
Yue Shi followed Xiao Rongyan closely, the smile on his face could no longer be hidden.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Rongyan saluted Bai Qingyan with a long bow.
"Yue Shi has met His Majesty!" Yue Shi quickly followed and saluted.
"Prince Regent, please get up!" Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded at Yue Shi, "Yue Shi followed the Prince Regent, are you okay?"
Yue Shi understood that in front of outsiders, he was still the bodyguard of the eldest daughter of the Bai family, her husband Xiao Rongyan. It was natural for the eldest daughter of the Bai family to care about him first, so she cooperated with Bai Qing's words and said: "Your Majesty, the regent is right to Yue It’s good to pick it up, so you don’t have to worry, big girl.”
Bai Qingyan nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Rongyan: "Please, Prince Regent..."
"Your Majesty, please!" Xiao Rongyan couldn't hide the smile in his voice and greeted Bai Qing as usual, "Your Majesty seems to be in a very happy mood."
"Yes! The epidemic in the cities under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty has been controlled. I think... this is God's favor for the Zhou Dynasty. God also believes that the unification of the world by the Zhou Dynasty is the general trend, so the government of the Zhou Dynasty is clear and clear, from the Queen Mother to the subjects, they work together. Unlike the Yan Kingdom, it is really hard for the regent to be so tired and tired!" Bai Qing said with a faint smile, "The regent must understand that destiny cannot be violated! Da Zhou... is where destiny belongs. !”
Xiao Rongyan could understand Bai Qingyan's words.
Indeed, as Bai Qingyan said, the new dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, new laws were implemented, and it was officially ready to go.
As for the Yan State...the influence of the royal clan in the court is intertwined, and the Yan State does not dare to make big moves like the Great Zhou Dynasty to cut down the vassals, it is inevitable that there will be scruples and constraints in any action! It's not like Bai Qing said he had complete control of the military power of the Zhou Dynasty, and he said exactly what he said!
In addition, because he and A Li were soft-hearted and cared about the Queen Mother, they could not bear to drive the Queen Mother away from the capital of Yan. As a result, the Yan Kingdom had made mistakes every step of the way since the Battle of Xiliang and the Zhou Dynasty. Like a trapped beast fighting.
If he had not met Bai Qingyan, Xiao Rongyan would not have such a reverence for life. He would have killed the clan as early as when Ah Li ascended the throne, and killed the vassal kings in the hall when Ah Li ascended the throne, even if he killed no one alive. !
The internal affairs of Yan should be broken first and then established.
But since the fall of the Jin Kingdom, with a powerful enemy like Da Zhou on its side, Xiao Rongyan wondered whether Da Zhou would give them time to establish the Yan State after the Yan State was so destroyed.
It was this brief hesitation and his reverence for life that prevented him from making a decisive decision...
The wheel of history never gives anyone time to hesitate. It always rolls forward, enveloping everyone involuntarily. If you cannot seize the opportunity, you will never be able to hold it back.
Perhaps, before Xiao Rongyan even noticed it, he had already agreed in his heart that Zhou's national policies were more beneficial to the people than those of Yan.
Because Bai Qingyan implemented the New Deal and made changes that his mother, Empress Ji, once wanted to make but could not... did not dare to make.
Not only Xiao Rongyan, but also his nephew Xiao A Li must have felt this way. Otherwise... how could A Li send people to Dongyi Kingdom.
Before the two of them had time to enter the tent set up by Liu Ping's high-ranking people, they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching quickly in the distance.
The galloping horse was stopped by a Zhou general. The general wearing the armor of the Yan army pulled the reins and reined in the horse. He impatiently shouted: "Prince Regent! Prince Regent..."
