Chapter 979: Still Coming
Chapter 979: Still Coming
Li Zhijie tightened his fists, forced a smile, and was organizing words in his heart, but before he could speak again, Bai Qingyan continued: "Does King Yan really not know the reason why the covenant has not been finalized?" ?”
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!" Li Zhijie saluted.
"Princess Li Tianfu of Xiliang sent people to Shuoyang to assassinate her. Now... King Yan jumped up and down after arriving in Dadu, lent Xiliang killer to King Baishui, intending to cause chaos on the day I ascended the throne, Xiliang is so disturbed How can Da Zhou dare to sign this covenant if he has such great malice towards Da Zhou?"
"Your Majesty!" Li Zhijie was sweating slightly on his back, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The foreign minister knows nothing about the princess's assassination! The white water king rebelled, and the foreign minister never participated in it, let alone lent it to the white water king. Killer of Xiliang, please be enlightened by Your Majesty!"
"Li Zhijie..." Bai Qingyan put down the teacup and looked at Li Zhijie who seemed to be in awe, "Although the killers are dead, King Baishui is still alive, do you really think you can deny the past? Seeing you, you have already given Xiliang Tian a big face, how should you negotiate a peace... what kind of sincerity should Xiliang show, you'd better send someone back to ask the Xiliang Empress!"
Speaking of this step, if Xiliang used Jintong as a gamble, it should have come out at this time.
"Your Majesty..." Li Zhijie raised his head, even though he tried his best, he couldn't hide his panic.
"Don't worry, as long as the ghost-faced prince is kept in the capital city by Da Zhou and does not return to Rong Di, Rong Di will not go to war against Xiliang for a day. Although Da Zhou will not be stable for long, King Yan can send someone back to Xiliang Yunjing to fight again." There is still some time to return to the capital city, no matter how long it takes... Da Zhou can't guarantee it! Naturally, Xiliang must also guarantee that during this period, Rong Di cannot be attacked, otherwise... Rong Di's ghost face prince is Da Zhou staying in Da Zhou The capital city is a guest, our covenant has not yet been finalized, Xiliang attacked Rongdi because of the absence of the ghost-faced prince, Da Zhou naturally cannot stand by and watch."
When Li Zhijie came out of the hall, his back was already soaked, but his heart was relieved a lot...
According to what Bai Qing said, he was dissatisfied with the city that Xiliang gave to Da Zhou, and wanted to use Xiliang to help King Baishui to get more benefits from Xiliang. Give him time to send someone back to Yunjing to inquire about the empress, and for these benefits... Bai Qingyan is willing to help Xiliang keep the ghost-mask prince in Dadu.
Therefore, Bai Qingyan still wanted to negotiate a peace with Xiliang, but he felt that there were too few benefits.
Li Zhijie clenched his fists tightly, that's all... At least Bai Qingyan still has the heart to negotiate a peace, and if it can be delayed for a day, it just gives him time to plan, and see how to save him if he can't make an alliance with Da Zhou in the end. Xiliang.
Li Zhijie raised his head and looked at the Dadu Imperial Palace shrouded in the golden light of the scorching sun in the early morning. The red walls and green tiles were shining brightly, and he felt a cold sweat for Xiliang.
Before he came to the capital city to see the Great Zhou Empress, and before he knew about the various actions of the Great Zhou Empress, Li Zhijie thought that Xiliang was reforming now, and would definitely become a powerful country again in the near future, even if it was not as good as Da Zhou and Dayan ...At least to make Da Zhou and Dayan dare not easily start a war with Xiliang.
But now I know that I am a frog in a well.
One wrong step, one wrong step...
If it hadn't been for Xiliang's forcible attack on the state of Jin, which lost hundreds of thousands of elites, and had an enmity with the Empress of the Great Zhou, but secretly sought strength like the state of Yan, would they still be afraid of Rongdi now?
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Although the empress of Xiliang took various measures to strengthen Xiliang after she ascended the throne,... there are eight major surnames, not the six major surnames now, but the speed at which Xiliang became stronger was far behind the speed at which Da Zhou became stronger.
Both Dayan and Dazhou have the heart to annex the world. Today's Xiliang...is like meat on a chopping board, how should Xiliang be saved, how should it be saved!
Li Zhijie's heart ached, and he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. His heart was full of sadness. He didn't know what strategy to use to save the country from danger, and he didn't know where the way out for Xiliang...
Seeing Li Zhijie standing at the entrance of the main hall without moving for a long time, a little eunuch stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What else is there for King Yan?"
This King Yan of Xiliang has always had a lot of money, so the little eunuchs like to go to King Yan's side, and they can always get a reward or two, and the amount is full.
But this time, Li Zhijie came back to his senses, but only took a deep look at the little eunuch, and walked towards the high steps.
The little eunuch didn't get the reward, he was a little puzzled, he sighed and returned to his place to guard.
Li Zhijie had just left the palace and got into the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated, when he heard his guard whisper beside his carriage: "My lord, it seems that the ghost-faced lord is also going to the palace to ask for an audience!"
Hearing this, Li Zhijie opened his eyes, and opened the curtain with an iron bone fan, just in time to see the ghost-faced prince of Rong Di coming down from the high horse, his eyes seemed to be looking in his direction, with a chilly look .
He tightened his hand holding the folding fan, and simply nodded to the ghost-faced prince, and then put down the curtain of the carriage, and the smile on his face sank.
He just came to see the Great Zhou Empress, and the Rong Di people also came on the back foot, so it was obvious what he was here for.
It seems that Li Zhijie has to send another person back to ask the empress if she can make two preparations while making concessions in the covenant.

Bai Qingyu got the news last night that the Empress of the Great Zhou would meet Li Zhijie after the morning court...before having breakfast with the Empress Dowager, and he understood that the Eldest Sister was looking for a legitimate opportunity for him to meet A Niang... See sister.
So from the moment he got the news that Li Zhijie had entered the palace, Bai Qingyu was restless. He was worried that if Auntie asked him to take off the mask, how would he use this broken and incomplete face to face Auntie.
He didn't want to see A Niang crying, and he didn't want to see A Sister crying.
The time waiting in front of the palace gate was very difficult for Bai Qingyu.
But despite being overwhelmed, he still couldn't hold back his desire to see A Niang and A Sister, so he still came.
Bai Qingyu followed the eunuch leading the way through the long palace road...
Thinking back to the past, I walked through this passage with my grandfather, father, uncle, and brothers countless times, looking at the half-person-high candle pavilions on both sides of the passage, looking at the red walls and green tiles, but never once did I feel like I do today complex.
The little eunuchs looked at this masquerading ghost-faced prince who was wearing a mask, and they couldn't help talking in low voices, and compared this ghost-faced prince with Dayan's masked Ninth Prince.
Shouhe Palace.
Dong Shi has been fidgeting since the morning court, Bai Qingyan came to tell her last night that maybe she could see Ayu today, Dong Shi almost stayed up all night, and her mental state was a little haggard.
Bai Qingyan saw that the lady who was eating breakfast was holding her chopsticks, she couldn't help looking out, and turned her head to signal Nanny Qin to let the other palace maids go out so that they don't have to wait by her side.
The third is to continue to ask for monthly tickets! Try to give an update to the little ancestors tomorrow...
