King Chaqin looked at Bai Jingrong and said in a deep voice: "I want half of the territory of the Qi people, as well as several small countries in the northwest, and they will all switch to Chaqin in the future."
Bai Jingrong's face darkened when he heard this, and he said coldly: "King Chaqin's appetite is too big."
King Chaqin did not feel dissatisfied and laughed loudly: "Mrs. Rong, cooperating with you requires me to spend most of Chaqin's family wealth. You don't think that as long as you can bring down your son, you can sit back and relax, do you? Forgive me for speaking frankly, King Qi is still your biological son. If it were someone else..."
Bai Jingrong said: "You don't need to worry about it now."
King Chaqin looked at her and said: "I know that you have a son. But your son may not be recognized by the Qi nobles. When the time comes, I will definitely need my help. Shouldn't I get more?" benefit?"
Bai Jingrong looked at him, sighed quietly and said: "It's not that I'm ungrateful, but if I really agree to your conditions, where will the Qi tribe have a place for our mother and son in the future, and how can we talk about cooperation?"
King Chaqin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What do you want, madam?"
Bai Jingrong said: "The small country in the Western Region can give two to King Chaqin. As for the land of the Qi people, it is absolutely impossible. But I can make the decision and give the land of Rouran to King Chaqin."
"This..." King Chaqin thought about the power of this and was speechless for a long time.
Bai Jingrong was not in a hurry, just sat quietly and waited.
After a while, I heard King Chaqin chuckle and say: "Madam is so cheerful, I shouldn't be stingy, so it's settled?"
Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Of course, it is my honor to cooperate with King Chaqin."
King Chaqin looked at Bai Jingrong thoughtfully.
Bai Jingrong asked: "What else does King Chaqin want to say?"
"Madam is a princess from the Central Plains. Do you plan to stay outside the Great Wall all your life?" King Chaqin suddenly asked.
Bai Jingrong was stunned for a long time before sighing softly and said: "Now that the Central Plains is strong and powerful, even if I want to restore the country, what can I do? Not to mention me, even Dayin was so majestic and powerful in the Western Regions..."
Before Bai Jingrong finished speaking, King Chaqin's expression changed and he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
The so-called Da Chen of the Bai family only lasted for more than ten years from the founding of the country to the fall of the country. However, the Da Yin established by the Yin people at that time was the overlord of the country along with Dongling in the Central Plains.
At that time, Dayin's territory even included part of what is now the northwest of Dasheng. Unfortunately, it later fell apart and fell into ruin. Not to mention maintaining a strong empire, it could not even maintain its rule in the Western Regions, so it had to move all the way westward.
In recent years, the Yin people have been unable to unify, partly because they could not reach a unified opinion internally.
Some people believe that the Central Plains dynasty has always been strong and it is almost impossible for Dayin to restore its former glory. It is better to expand to the west. However, people such as King Chaqin believe that the Western Region is their homeland, and only by capturing the Central Plains can the country be restored. Yin's glory reached its peak.
The fall of Dayin has always been a hateful thing in King Chaqin's heart, so it was natural that Bai Jingrong was not happy when it was mentioned.
Bai Jingrong seemed not to see his anger, and smiled sweetly: "Why is King Chaqin angry? I have also heard about your ambitions, and Bai Jingrong admires him deeply. It's just... with the current strength of the Chaqin Department, you want to I'm afraid it's impossible to conquer the Central Plains."
King Chaqin looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, "What do you want to say, madam?"
Bai Jingrong said: "King Chaqin wants the Central Plains, and I, the Bai family, also want to restore the country. In this case, why don't we cooperate?"
"cooperate?"
Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Exactly, a closer and deeper cooperation than now. If King Chaqin wants to plot the Central Plains, he must cross the Qi tribe. Although the Qi tribe is not what it used to be, it is not necessarily afraid of the Chaqin tribe. "
"What do you mean, madam?"
Bai Jingrong said: "If you two become one family, everything will be easy to talk about."
Late at night, after Bai Jingrong left, King Chaqin had not rested yet.
"gone?"
Seeing the young man who escorted Bai Jingrong out come in, King Chaqin asked calmly.
The young man nodded in agreement, and King Chaqin snorted coldly and said: "This woman Bai Jingrong really deserves her reputation."
Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but frown and looked at King Cha Qin who was about to speak but hesitated.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
The young man said: "King, this woman is very ambitious and we have to guard against her."
"Of course I know her ambitions. Does this woman think that I am Ji Sui's lecherous person?" King Chaqin said disdainfully, "If Ji Sui was not obsessed with lust and married this woman back then, I'm afraid the Qi people wouldn't be able to marry her now. He would be reduced to this situation, and he would die young. It's a pity that Ji Sui can be regarded as a hero for a while..."
The problem of the Qi people today is not only that they were forced to migrate after losing to Dasheng, and their power is not as strong as before. The biggest problem is internal divisions, and the various nobles of the Qi people have their own agendas.
After all, King Ji Zhan of Qi still has half of the Central Plains blood, and not everyone is willing to buy it.
Even Bai Jingrong and Ji Zhan, mother and son, have begun to break up. Can the Qi people be better off?
At such an opportunity, if you don't take the opportunity to take a bite, wouldn't it be a big loss?
"Send someone to send a message to Regent Dasheng, saying that I want to have an interview with him."
The young man was startled, "What does the king mean, is he not planning to cooperate with Bai Jingrong?" The regent of Dasheng would never allow them to try to tread two boats. But the conditions that the king just negotiated with Bai Jingrong were enough. Heartbeat.
King Chaqin smiled and said: "Bai Jingrong has great ambitions, but unfortunately Dasheng is stronger in terms of strength. If we cooperate with Bai Jingrong, do you think Xie Yan will turn to support Ji Zhan?"
"This..." This is really hard to say.
It is true that the Qi people and Dasheng are feuding, but the exchanges between countries are not just as simple as grudges. What's more, given Ji Zhan's current and future situation, he may become a puppet in the hands of the Dasheng people. .
In this case, they might as well cooperate with Dasheng first and carve up the Qi people.

"Xie Yan personally came to the royal court of the Qi clan, I'm afraid he came with the intention of destroying the Qi clan." King Chaqin said thoughtfully.
The young man's mind was more flexible. He thought about it and couldn't help but said: "King, if we give Xie Yan to the royal court of the Qi people..." He made a murderous gesture and looked at King Chaqin expectantly.
It is actually very dangerous for Xie Yan to take the risk of sneaking into the royal court of the Qi tribe alone. If Xie Yan can be killed here, the hatred of Dasheng people will only be attributed to the Qi tribe. For them, it is natural to kill two birds with one stone.
.
"Do you think I haven't thought about this?" He was considering this possibility the first time he saw Xie Yan in the Chaqin Department, but he still didn't take action in the end.
"Xie Yan would not be unprepared if he dared to risk his life. If we can't kill him, we will be in trouble in the future." King Chaqin said with regret.
Luo Junyao got up early in the morning. Now she did not have to participate in the study and work of the palace maids, but she needed to study a series of courses arranged for her by Bai Jingrong.
Bai Jingrong seemed to really intend to train her as his future successor, although Luo Junyao always felt that it was unreliable.
If Bai Jingrong didn't even believe in his own son, how could he believe in a stranger like her whom he had just met for two days?
Just because she was helpless and had to rely on Bai Jingrong?
Although thinking this way, Luo Junyao still carefully memorized the various booklets Bai Jingrong asked Bai Ning to give her.
Written on it are the identities and relationships of the noble families of the Qi clan, as well as the identity information of some important figures within the Bai family army today.
While Luo Junyao was memorizing, he compared it with what he knew in his memory and thought about how reliable these things were.
She was a little surprised to find that the accuracy rate was as high as over 80%, which showed that Bai Jingrong had put some thought into it and was not all trying to fool her.
"Miss Chu Chu." Ji Rong's voice came from behind. Luo Jun turned around and saw Ji Rong walking over from not far away.
Luo Junyao still remembered his hatred for leaving him in the garden yesterday, so he rolled his eyes at him, turned around and continued to read the booklet in his hand.
Seeing this, Ji Rong chuckled lightly, walked to the table and stood still. Looking at the girl who was memorizing the information seriously, she said, "Does Chu Chu know what the use of memorizing these is?"
Luo Junyao said: "Sister Bai Ning said that the most important thing for me to follow the empress in the future is to recognize the dignitaries in the royal court first, so as not to be rude to others when I meet them in the future."
Ji Rong sneered and said: "In here...it's not just the information about the nobles, but also a lot of secrets about the nobles, right?"
"Is there something wrong?" Luo Junyao asked.
Ji Rong sighed softly and sat down opposite her.
"A simple little girl."
Luo Junyao stared at him without saying a word. It was an interesting experience to sit in front of someone like Ji Rong as another person.
Luo Junyao was a little curious, how would Ji Rong behave differently in front of Chu Chu and Ji Rong in front of the regent princess.
After a moment of silence, Ji Rong said: "My mother told me just now that if you want to gain the power in her hands, you must marry the woman she designated."
"So?" Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly and asked in confusion.
"Aren't you curious about who mother appointed?" Ji Rong asked.
Luo Jun said: "A daughter of a Qi noble who obeys your empress, or a daughter of a general of the Bai family who loyally follows your empress?"
Ji Rong slowly shook his head and said, "Wrong guess."
Luo Junyao raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't think she had guessed wrong.
It is impossible for Bai Jingrong to fight Ji Zhan on her own. Even though she has a heart to be a queen, reality will not give her this chance.
It is possible that she is from the Qi tribe. The Qi tribe will not accept a pure Central Plains woman as the queen of the Qi tribe.
Since Bai Jingrong was unable to complete this step while Ji Sui was alive, it became even more impossible after Ji Zhan came to power. Therefore, Bai Jingrong must have a son, and there is no doubt that this son can only be Ji Rong at the moment.
It is not difficult to guess the wife Bai Jingrong hopes Ji Rong will marry. Ji Rong needs power to confront Ji Zhan, and the best way is to marry.
Ji Rong looked at her and said, "Chu Chu is indeed very smart, but you don't understand your mother."
Luo Jun asked: "Then who do you want you to marry?"
Ji Rong curled her lips slightly and looked at her with a smile. Luo Junyao suddenly felt his scalp numb and couldn't help but swallowed and said, "Did you mean to say... me?"
Ji Rong nodded.
"Why?" Luo Junyao was really puzzled this time. Bai Jingrong wanted to support Ji Rong and Ji Zhan to seize power. No matter what he thought, Ji Rong should not be allowed to marry a foreign woman who had no power and power, and did not even have a family.
The best choice is to marry a noble Qi girl, like Ji Zhan.
If you want to be the king of others, you must always show your intention to become their family.
Otherwise, Ji Sui doesn’t only have two sons, Ji Zhan and Ji Rong. Why would the nobles of the Qi tribe choose you?
Ji Rong said: "So I said, you don't understand mother."
Luo Junyao blinked and said, "Please give me some advice from Prince Ji Rong."
Ji Rong said calmly: "Do you think my mother really wants to help me rise to power, and really wants to hand over her power to you?"
Luo Jun shook his head again and again. The nod was that Bai Jingrong really needed to support Ji Rong to become the leader, but the shake of his head was that she really didn't believe that Bai Jingrong would give her the power in his hands.
Ji Rong smiled calmly and said: "I guess what my mother is thinking now is that even if she supports me to the throne, there is no guarantee that I will not betray him like my elder brother."
Luo Junyao hesitated and said: "Could it be that the empress would choose... other children of the late king?" Is this possible?
"Of course she won't make wedding clothes for others."
Luo Junyao looked at Ji Rong and said nothing. When Ji Rong said this, she felt that she could no longer guess what Bai Jingrong was thinking.
Ji Rong stood up, leaned slightly close to Luo Junyao and whispered in Luo Junyao's ear: "She doesn't want me to be in power, nor does she want to give her power to anyone. So, she plans to replicate what happened thirty years ago and start a new one.
Bureau."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Junyao blinked slightly and said nothing, as if he was frightened by Ji Rong's words.
Ji Rong raised his hand and patted her shoulder and said: "My mother has hinted to Ji Zhan that if she wants to have the power in her hands, she must marry you. Be careful."
"Why?" Luo Junyao asked, "Why does the empress do this?"
Ji Rong said: "Because she wants to, she is willing. You can also think that she is taking revenge on Ji Zhan. If Ji Zhan wants to take over the power in her hands smoothly, even if she asks Ji Zhan to marry a beggar, Ji Zhan can only
Do as you are told. Although Ji Zhan is now the King of Qi, his position is not stable and he cannot withstand any turmoil. And although her power is not as powerful as before, she still has many followers. As long as she is willing, she can always
It can cause a storm in the royal court, but Ji Zhan cannot afford the consequences."
"Chu Chu, you have to be careful." Ji Rong smiled and said, "Do you think Ji Zhan wants to marry you or kill you more now?"
Luo Junyao looked at Ji Rong and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you?"
Ji Rong looked at her with a smile and asked, "Do you dare to tell her?"
"..." If she was just Chu Chu, she really wouldn't dare.
Luo Junyao watched Ji Rong go away, and after a long time he slowly said: "Both mother and son are madmen! No, mother and son are not normal people."
Luo Junyao's movements were not strictly restricted in the Bai Jingrong Palace. After all, at least in name, she was not a maid, but the future daughter of the Queen Mother. However, the maids in the Queen Mother's Palace did not dare to get close to Luo Junyao. Instead, they kept a distance.
On the other hand, the steward named Yun Chang, who had been offended the first day he entered the palace, had always treated Luo Junyao with a nose other than his nose and eyes other than his eyes.
Luo Junyao heard Bai Ning talk about it and found out that Yun Chang's father was originally a middle-level general under the Bai family army, but he later died in battle. Yun Chang came to serve Bai Jingrong when he was a teenager, and gradually grew up to be Bai Jingrong's steward.
Not to mention that Luo Junyao had a grudge against Yun Chang on the first day. Even if the two had not grudged each other, Yun Chang would have disliked Luo Junyao.
She had worked hard to serve the Queen Mother for more than ten years, but she had only managed to get into a management position. Luo Junyao, a little girl who was sold into slavery, was about to be adopted as an adopted daughter by the Queen Mother when she first arrived. How could Yun Chang like it?
Can you get up?
Yun Chang originally recommended her niece to Bai Jingrong, but unfortunately Bai Jingrong did not take a fancy to her.
"Chu Chu." Yun Chang came over with a gloomy face and called out coldly before she even got there.
Luo Junyao immediately shouted in unison with a bright smile: "Aunt Yun Chang, what's the matter?"
Yun Chang looked her over and asked, "I just saw Prince Ji Rong leaving here, what did you say?"
Luo Junyao said innocently: "Prince Ji Rong came over to see how I was doing in my studies. He gave me a few words and asked me to study hard and not let down the high expectations of the empress."
"That's all?" Yun Chang frowned, obviously not believing it.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "That's it. What else does Aunt Yun Chang think there is?"
Yun Chang snorted softly and said: "I advise you not to have too much contact with Prince Ji Rong. You must always remember that the Queen Mother is your only master."
Luo Junyao nodded obediently, showing no sign of anger or dissatisfaction.
Seeing her like this, Yun Chang was not happy, but her face became even more ugly. She had already determined in her heart that Luo Junyao was a troublemaker. The more she pretended to be nice, the more she believed that Luo Junyao was hiding a traitor.
Yun Chang placed the things in her hands heavily on the table in front of Luo Junyao, and said angrily: "The Queen has told you that it has been a few days since you entered the palace, and it's time to go out for a walk. She asked you to take someone with you and send this to the queen.
.”
Luo Junyao said in surprise: "I? Send it to the queen?"
Yun Chang said sarcastically: "What? You don't think you have really become a princess, do you? One day the king disagrees, and you are still a maid in the Queen Mother's palace. You go to give something to the Queen Mother, and you still
Do you want to be lazy?"
"No, I'll go right away." Luo Junyao said quickly. She was just about to go out for a walk. It would be much better to go out openly than to take risks and figure out a solution on her own.
"I wonder if the Queen Mother has any other instructions?" Luo Junyao asked.
Yun Chang glanced at her coldly and said: "Just give the things to the Queen Mother, you don't need to worry about the rest." After that, she knocked on the box and said: "Go quickly, don't delay the Queen Mother.
"
Luo Junyao glanced at the box thoughtfully, nodded and said, "I understand, Aunt Yun Chang, don't worry, I'll go right away."
Yun Chang sneered, turned around and left without looking back.
