Chapter nine hundred and ninety seventh: embattled
Because it was used in the outskirts of the Great Metropolitan City, the newly rebuilt house of the Jin Dynasty's noble family and it could be used after a little repair, so the Women's School was very smooth. On August 13, the first year of Yuanhe, the Central Court Ministers sent their girls to the school one after another.
Chen Tianzhi was sitting opposite Bai Qingyan, having lunch with Bai Qingyan, while talking about the grand occasion of the girls' school.
"The girls from the families of important officials in the court went first, and then waited for the girls' school to be expanded, so that more women could be accommodated in the school..." Chen Tianzhidao.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Please worry about the expansion, Lord Shen..."
"Your Majesty..." Wei Zhong walked towards Bai Qingyan in a broken step and whispered, "Please see King Yan of Xiliang, as if he wanted to resign and return to his country."
Seeing this, Chen Tianzhi hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth with a veil, got up and walked to the center of the hall to salute Bai Qing: "Your Majesty, I'm done eating, I'll take my leave first..."
Bai Qingyan nodded, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "I'll ask Lord Shen to worry about the expansion drawings, so I won't look at them anymore."
Chen Tianzhi hurriedly bowed to Bai Qingyan and then retreated outside the hall.
"Come on!" Bai Qingyan put down the handkerchief and took the honey dew handed to Chuntao to rinse his mouth.
After a little tidying up, Mama Tong and Chunzhi served Bai Qingyan to change their clothes, Wei Zhong and Chuntao accompanied him to the front hall to meet Li Zhijie, the King of Yan of Xiliang.
In the hall, Li Zhijie held his folding fan tightly. Today is his last attempt for Xiliang. Since Yan State dared to tell him that the Ghost-faced General Rongdi was from the Bai family, why couldn't he turn it off. What is the news telling the Queen of Great Zhou? If we can choose the Great Zhou and Great Yan to fight, Xiliang will at least be temporarily stable.
Try it all the way. If it really doesn't work, he has to go back to Xiliang and find another way.
Hearing the eunuch singing the news, Li Zhijie stood up and bowed to the outside of the hall.
Bai Qingyan looked at Li Zhijie, who had his eyes hanging down and his face was not very good-looking, raised his foot and stepped into the threshold, saying, "Your King Yan doesn't have to be too polite. I heard that Yan King is here to say goodbye?"
Li Zhijie bent respectfully until he heard Bai Qingyan take a seat, and then straightened his back and nodded, "Now Yan State stayed in the capital for marriage, while Xiliang stayed in the Great Wall." The capital was for the purpose of establishing the alliance, but... the foreign minister got a news and hesitated for nearly a month, but decided to say goodbye to the empress. If the empress is really willing to establish the alliance with Xiliang, please send an envoy to follow the foreign ministers. Return to Yunjing to sign an alliance.”
She looked at Li Zhijie's serious look and asked with a smile: "But because... Prince Jiu of Dayan tells you that the Ghost Face of Rongdi is the Bai family's business?"
Li Zhijie suddenly looked up...
Looking at Li Zhijie's unexpected expression, she stroked the armrest of the seat with her fingers and said with a smile: "Dayan has signed a covenant with Rong Di to not attack Xiliang within three years, so she has not been able to return Dayan's army to the country. I'll guess...Does the Ninth Prince of Dayan tell you... the way Xiliang can protect it is to pay tribute to Dayan?"
Li Zhijie had a slight sweat on his palms, and even suspected that when he was talking to the Ninth Prince, Bai Qingyan sent someone to eavesdrop on the side.
"After being scared by the Nine Prince of Dayan, King Yan planned to return to China and tell the Queen of Xiliang that she would pay tribute to Dayan?" She smiled and took the sky-blue sweet porcelain wide-mouth tea cup handed to Chuntao. Seeing Chuntao winks with her, she waved her hand to signal Li Zhijie to sit down, "Sit down, take a sip of tea before talking."
Li Zhijie stood still and refused very much. She did not force her to do so, but said with a smile: "Let's not talk about it, if Xiliang wants to pay tribute and pay tribute to the Empress of Xiliang, would she agree? Xiliang truly controls Xiliang.
Will the Eight Great Family agree? Even if... as the Ninth Prince of Dayan said, the Ghost Face Prince of Rongdi is from my Great Zhou, then... I really want to pay tribute and pay tribute to the Great Zhou, how can Xiliang pay tribute to the Great Zhou?
Not better?”
Hearing this, Li Zhijie felt even more like the chopping board meat. He pursed his lips and finally sat down at the bottom of Bai Qingyan.
"How does King Yan think? You can tell me..." Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Li Zhijie felt that Xiliang was now surrounded by internal and external troubles. He smiled bitterly and looked up at Bai Qingyan, saying, "I think that the conditions for His Majesty's peace agreement will change again?"
She smiled and nodded: "Since Rongdi is all from my Great Zhou, Da Yan can propose to ask Xiliang to pay tribute and surrender, why can't Da Zhou?"
Li Zhijie closed his eyes, his stomach full of... The words "The Ninth Prince of Dayan harmed me."
"Li Zhijie dared not be a sinner in Xiliang for the past thousand years!" Li Zhijie straightened his back and bowed to Bai Qingyan, "Therefore, the foreign minister could only say goodbye to His Majesty and return to the country.
Xiliang survived and died together.”
"Don't worry, King Yan, I have sent my third brother Bai Qingqiong to Yunjing, Xiliang to discuss the alliance with the Queen of Xiliang. I think it's time to return. King Yan can wait for news with me in the capital city first.
"Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
Li Zhijie was stunned, and then he remembered the incident that Prince Jiu of the Great Yan said before that Bai Qingqi, the cousin of the Empress of the Great Zhou, who had just returned, rushed to the south Xinjiang. It turned out that... he was going to Xiliang!
"Why, I haven't heard from Your Majesty before?" Li Zhijie asked with a frown.
"Of course, in order to prevent Da Yan from exploring the news..." Bai Qingyan put the teacup in his hand.
"If the envoy sent by Your Majesty... wants us to pay tribute to the emperor." Li Zhijie looked at Bai Qing's words, "Then, the foreign minister can tell Your Majesty with certainty that I, the Empress of Xiliang, is the absolute.
I won't agree."
"Can you agree or not, let's wait! After all, even if King Yan returns to China now, it will be useless. He stays in the capital... and can still deal with Da Yan, oh... or discuss with Rong Di's Ghost Face Prince,
Can the battle between Rongdi and Xiliang be avoided?" Bai Qingyan looked at him not caring at all and blew into the teacup, "Your King Yan can try it, this is the cloud tea sent by Mr. Xiao, I
I remember that Mr. Xiao from Xiliang has few shops, so he probably didn’t send such good tea.”
Bai Qingyan's seemingly unreasonable words made Li Zhijie's heart suddenly move...
Perhaps, you can try to talk to the Ghost Face Prince of Rongdi about the alliance. According to the principle, the weak country should unite to fight against the strong, but why did Rongdi want to bite Xiliang and not let go? The Ninth Prince of Dayan took advantage of it.
This made him believe that the Ghost Face Prince of Rong Di was from the Bai family.
He claimed to be wise, but never thought of asking about this seriously in front of Rong Di's Ghost Face Prince.
Thinking of this, Li Zhijie stood up calmly and slowly bowed to Bai Qing.
