Chapter 975: The Best of Both Worlds

Chapter 975: The Best of Both Worlds

After hearing this, many widows in the metropolitan city who live by guarding their husband's memorial tablets were inevitably moved, and tried to take the step of remarrying one after another.

Couples from poor families are different from couples from high-ranking officials and nobles. Almost all poor families marry blindly. There are not many people who are so dependent on life and death.

And even if the husband and wife have feelings, after losing their wives, men will feel that life is difficult, and it is too difficult to be with no one to accompany them, and then marry a second string, while women lose their husbands and need to stay chaste until death.

Now there is a new method to rely on. They are thinking about taking that step bravely either for the children they cannot raise alone, or because they don’t want to endure loneliness anymore. Some people have the courage to discuss with their mother’s family first.

Since Bai Qing said that the son of the country supervised the students and dealt with the old Bai clan who wanted to sink his daughter-in-law into the pond, the speed of the new law has gradually accelerated.

The nobles in the metropolitan city watched the wind and let their widowed daughters-in-law go back to their mother's house one after another, allowing them to remarry.

Dong Changyuan seized the opportunity and communicated with all the matchmakers in the metropolis, and asked the matchmakers to focus on matchmaking for widows, and if they made a marriage, they would reward the matchmaker three golds three times.

For a while, widows became very popular marriage targets, especially those who were young and still in childbearing age, and the matchmaker almost broke the threshold.

Li Zhijie was very disturbed when he saw the implementation of the new law in full swing.

From Bai Qingyan's ascension to the present, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty has not given a clear reply. Whether it is... to make an alliance with Rongdi or Xiliang, both sides are dragging their feet.

Besides, the ghost-faced prince of Rong Di did not leave, and Li Zhijie did not dare to leave...

Li Zhijie rested on the crooked couch, resting his elbows on the hidden sac embroidered with ginger flowers, staring at the tulle curtain swaying gently in the wind. It has been 18 days since I came to Dadu City, and it has been 8 days since Empress Da Zhou ascended the throne, but the covenant cannot be finalized, what suggestions do you guys have?"

The counselors from Xiliang brought by Li Zhijie sat on both sides of Li Zhijie, obviously helpless about this matter.

"I heard that Master Liu Rushiliu, who presided over the peace talks, handed over all the generous gifts that the prince gave him that day to Lu Taiwei. It seems that this person is very stubborn."

"Master Liu brought our Xiliang envoys and Rongdi envoys together because he wanted the one with the highest price to win the covenant, but now we in Xiliang are willing to cede twenty cities and pay countless treasures. Miss Zhou has not made an alliance with us for a long time, but someone thinks...the Great Zhou Empress seems to intend to intervene in the war between Xiliang and Rongdi!" The counselors around Li Zhijie analyzed.

"If this is the case, I will return to China immediately and live and die with Xiliang!" Another Xiliang counselor said.

Li Zhijie paused for a moment as he tapped his palms with a fan, pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, send someone back to deliver a letter to His Majesty, saying that Da Zhou seems to have no intention of forming an alliance with us in Xiliang. We can't leave until we get definite information!"

The oldest counselor next to Li Zhijie said to Li Zhijie: "Perhaps the prince can meet Dayan's Ninth Prince. If Da Zhou really wants to attack Xiliang with Rong Di in the end, let's see if Dayan is willing." Constrain the Great Zhou in the west of the state of Jin."

Li Zhijie had thought of this method as early as the day when Bai Qingyan's enthronement ceremony ended, but...it was a last resort.

Li Zhijie, with deep eyebrows, put down the fan in his hand and picked up the teacup, pursed his lips and remained silent, apparently not wanting to use this trick yet.

"My lord, in my humble opinion, it's better to go straight in and meet the ghost-faced lord of Rong Di. Actually, Rong Di has no deep hatred for us in Xiliang. I'm afraid that if he wants to attack Xiliang, it's the same as what the prince said before. He wants Rong Di to form as soon as possible. It’s the same situation as the three kingdoms of Da Zhou and Dayan.” Seeing that Li Zhijie didn’t object, the counselor went on to say, “They’re just trying to grab the land. A chance to breathe, try to delay the three-year period of the covenant between Dayan and Rongdi! When the covenant with Rongdi is established, if Rongdi attacks Xiliang again, it will be unfair. We will ask Yan for help at that time It's a matter of course!"

Li Zhijie raised his eyes, and his eyes became colder and colder: "According to what you mean, it's better for us Xiliang to pay tribute to Dayan... Isn't it safer?"

Seeing that Li Zhijie was talking ironically, the counselor quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "This subordinate made a mistake..."

"Get up!" Li Zhijie said in a calm voice, sat up after putting down his teacup, "I'm going to see the Great Zhou Empress in person, this time I need the Great Zhou Empress to give us Xiliang an accurate word, and we have decided to fight Da Zhou... ...or reconciliation, and we will discuss countermeasures later."

"My lord is wise!" The counselors bowed to Li Zhijie.

Li Zhijie doesn't think he is wise, Xiliang's strength is really too weak now...

When the first emperor was alive, Xiliang was at the peak of its national strength, and he felt that he could compete with Jin. Although Li Zhijie had persuaded him, the first emperor insisted on going his own way and insisted on attacking Jin together with Nanyan, but the result... Wan Jingrui all fell on the southern border battlefield, and the people of Xiliang trembled when they heard the name of the Bai family army.

That battle turned Xiliang from prosperity to decline, and it has not been slowed down until now.

If there hadn't been the battle in southern Xinjiang, why would Xiliang be afraid of Rong and Di today? !

Liu Rushi was sitting under Bai Qingyan, reporting to Bai Qingyan about the alliance with Rongdi and Xiliang.

Bai Qingyan poured himself a cup of tea with the teapot, put the bamboo slips aside, and listened carefully to what Liu Rushi had to say.

"Although the official has not responded to Rongdi and Xiliang's alliance with anyone according to His Majesty's instructions, it is not appropriate to drag it on like this. After all, diplomatic relations between the two countries are not a trifling matter." Bravely said to Bai Qing, "Your Majesty, I know that your Majesty has a deep hatred with Xiliang Yun Poxing, but...for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the conditions offered by Xiliang are indeed beneficial to my great Zhou. Your Majesty may as well Think about it!"

Wei Zhong personally served Liu Rushi tea with hot tea, then stepped aside, and whispered to the little eunuch to raise the lamp wicks in the palace higher.

"Our Dazhou can completely wait for Xiliang and Rongdi to lose both, and then make a profit..." Liu Rushi was afraid that Bai Qingyan would not be able to let go of the hatred of the Bai family in his heart, so he said, "We have made an alliance with Xiliang, revenge is only too late In one or two years, it can weaken the troops of Rongdi and Xiliang! Then we will send troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty... and we will be able to avoid unnecessary casualties of soldiers, I think this is the best of both worlds."

The second update, continue to ask for monthly tickets...
