Chapter 244 Covenant
The purpose of Ji Weiyu's visit was indeed for the diplomatic relations between the two countries, otherwise how could he, the newly enthroned prince, leave Chu so easily?
Originally, the emperor was half-believing and half-doubting about this, thinking that the powerful country of Dayong had no reason to be friendly with Chu, and even if it was friendly, Chu needed to show enough sincerity.
But Ji Weiyu said that he didn't need to say anything, as long as he, the crown prince, took his two royal brothers and envoys to Dayong, there would naturally be a way to make the Queen of Dayong sign a friendly treaty with him.
The emperor saw that he was full of confidence, although he didn't know what method he would use, but he could only choose to believe it.
After all, this son was once the son of God respected by everyone in Chu, and he also helped him deal with the queen mother. Even if he was not strong enough and his foundation was not stable after becoming the crown prince, he had more prestige than any other prince.
The words of His Royal Highness the Son of God were believed by all the civil and military officials in the court, so this mission to Dayong was surprisingly smooth, and the emperor also wanted him to make some contributions and take this opportunity to establish the prestige of the crown prince.
After entering the Qinzheng Palace, Ji Weiyu delivered an impassioned speech on the safety of the two countries and the people. His words were righteous, emotional, and sincere, showing a great heart that was concerned about the world, which moved everyone present.
Especially the envoys of Chu, they all nodded involuntarily, thinking that His Highness, the Son of God, who was concerned about the country, was really thinking about the people and the two countries.
It was really hard for a young man like him to think so far and so deeply.
Such a person who cares about the world and the people will definitely be diligent and love the people when he becomes an emperor in the future, so that the people of Chu can have no worries about food and clothing, live and work in peace, and the national strength of Chu will become stronger and stronger, prosperous and endless.
Yan Qing sat on the dragon chair, listening to Ji Weiyu's performance in front of her calmly. After he finished speaking passionately, she nodded: "It is a blessing for the country and the people that the State of Chu has a crown prince like the crown prince. I admire him."
The envoys smiled with satisfaction when they heard this. Her Majesty was right. His Royal Highness the Son of God is indeed a qualified crown prince.
"The signing of a friendly treaty between the two countries will benefit Dayong without any disadvantages." Wen Jin said calmly, "In the future, trade between the two countries will be conducive to economic recovery and enhance national strength. The long-term friendly coexistence between the two countries will also be a blessing for the people of Dayong. The people will live and work in peace for a long time without being invaded by war, which will be conducive to the development of people's livelihood and make the people feel more at ease."
Yan Qing nodded: "That's right."
Ji Weiyu automatically ignored Wen Jin's words and only looked at Yan Qing's face: "Since Your Majesty agrees with what I said, shall we sign the alliance now?"
Yan Qing nodded: "Sign. But we have to wait until tomorrow to sign it. It is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries and needs to be signed under the witness of the civil and military officials of the court."
"Yes. I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen Sympathy for the people of the two countries. "Ji Weiyu bowed and thanked him in a formal manner, "After returning to Chu, I will burn incense and bathe every morning and evening to pray for Her Majesty the Queen and the people of the two countries. May Her Majesty be healthy, may the two countries prosper, and may there be no more wars in the world. "
The envoys breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "May Her Majesty be healthy! May the two countries prosper! May there be no more wars in the world!"
Compared with the national strength of Dayong, the benefits of this alliance to Chu are obvious. Chu's national strength is not as good as Dayong. There are no four vassal kings who are good at fighting, and there is no strategy like the regent of Dayong that makes all countries in the world tremble. Chu, which has just ended a civil war, needs a few years to recover.
In these years, if Dayong wants to go to war with Chu, Chu, which has just ended the civil war, will have no power to fight back.
The envoys were really surprised at how smoothly the treaty was signed. Before that, they were worried that the queen, who was known as a star of misfortune, would be obsessed with war after ascending the throne?
Would she ask for too much before signing the treaty and make unreasonable demands to the State of Chu?
Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was completely different from what they expected.
"Your Majesty." Ji Weiyu sighed sadly, "After signing the alliance tomorrow, I should go back. It is my great honor to come and see your majesty this time. After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again. Although I am reluctant to leave you——"
"Family and country are the most important." Wen Jin spoke slowly, with a gentle tone and no emotion. "Your Majesty and I look forward to the prince's achievements and the prosperity of Chu. I hope that one day, Chu and Dayong can become truly equal allies."
As expected of the Emperor of Dayong, these words... really touched the hearts of the ministers of Chu.
Her Majesty and the Emperor of Dayong are kind-hearted people.
They really hope for the good of Chu. Thinking of their own gentleness, the envoys of Chu really feel ashamed.
"I remember that in addition to the crown prince, two princes from Chu also came." Yan Qing raised his eyes, swept his gaze across Ji Weiyu's face, and glanced at Ji Chenghao who had been standing aside and had not said much, "Why didn't Prince Jing come?"
"Prince Jing is not used to the climate and has been vomiting and having diarrhea for the past two days. He can't even get up from the bed." Ji Weiyu said so, but he sneered in his heart. Ji Chengyin, that bad guy, has bad intentions, so he won't let him come and get in the way.
Ji Weiyu brought him here for the purpose of letting him see the style of Her Majesty the Queen, so that Ji Chengyin can see how much he weighs and whether he is worthy of carrying the Queen's shoes.
His greatest joy was to slap Ji Chengyin's face until it was swollen. After that, he did whatever he wanted. He had no time to care about him.
"Is Prince Jing sick?" Yan Qing frowned slightly, "Do you need me to send a doctor to take a look?"
"No need." Ji Weiyu waved his hand, "He will not die after a thousand years of harm. Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Your Highness?" The envoys were stunned.
Ji Weiyu realized that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "What I mean is that Prince Jing is in good health. A lucky person will live a long life. This little setback will not knock him down easily."
A lucky person will live a long life?
Ji Weiyu sneered. People like Ji Chengyin should be taken away by God earlier. It's a waste of food to live.
The alliance was settled. Ji Weiyu wanted to have a good talk with Yan Qing, but there were too many people waiting, and there was also a jealous person who was waiting to interrupt him at any time. Ji Weiyu said he was tired.
"My prince will take his leave for now. Your Majesty, please have a good rest." Ji Weiyu had no choice but to bow respectfully. "Tomorrow morning, my prince and the envoys will come to the palace to pay respects to Your Majesty."
Yan Qing hummed, and there was more concern in his voice: "The return journey is long and the long journey is very tiring. Go back today and have a good rest. Don't be too tired."
"Yes." Ji Weiyu felt warm in his heart, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
How nice it would be if he could stay here forever?
When Ji Weiyu thought of someone who relied on persistence and self-torture to win the majesty's heart and occupied a legitimate status as the emperor's husband, he was furious.
Wen Jin was clearly a cunning fox. When he calculated people, he could make the other party have no bones left. He was as cruel as a jackal. I don't know how much blood was stained on his hands. In front of His Majesty, he was good at pretending to be weak and innocent... It was really annoying.
But Ji Weiyu always believed that people's hearts would be revealed over time.
When he walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, looking at the bright autumn sun outside, he was still thinking that Wen Jin's fox skin would not be able to hide it sooner or later, and His Majesty would definitely discover his true face. By then, in addition to his preference for him decreasing little by little, he might even develop disgust and alienation until he was banished to the cold palace.
After all, His Majesty hated people lying to her the most.
Ji Weiyu couldn't help laughing as he thought about it. What would it be like if Wen Jin was banished to the cold palace?
It must be very interesting.
