He sighed helplessly, turned around, picked up the paperwork on the table, and handed it to Hyun himself:
"This is the document indicating that Kunyu became a vassal state of Wei." He took another box and said, "This is for King Kunyu."
Hearing this, Xun's heart sank. He took the documents and the box, opened the box and looked inside. There was a gold seal engraved with "Kunyu King's Seal". From now on, documents dealing with the Wei State could no longer use the Kunyu State Jade Seal. No, I can only use this royal seal.
Although many Chinese dynasties adopted a soft policy toward vassal states, favoring favors over others and rarely intervening in their internal affairs, but provided them with free protection. However, Huan still felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had seen those treaties in the late Qing Dynasty that were humiliating and humiliating the country.
She couldn't help but think of Ning Sheng, Ning Yu, Ning Min, Ning Yan, Lezheng family, Huo Jiu, Jiang Wu, Ru Yuan and others' efforts to make the country prosperous, as well as the craftsmen, soldiers and Kun Yuguo. All people.
Through years of unremitting efforts, we managed to survive the most turbulent and chaotic years and overcame the danger of being destroyed. However, after the situation stabilized, we did not avoid becoming a vassal state.
Hyun looked at the golden seal in bewilderment. It was she who created the current situation. If she were not shackled by history, she would definitely do her best to make the Kunyu Kingdom stronger, stronger, and even stronger. Even if she could not overtake the Northern Wei Dynasty, she must still work hard. Equally equal to it.
Thinking about it, I fell into the previous deadlock again: Why did I come to this era? Is it better to be a bystander from the beginning? But I want more people to survive the turmoil, should I continue Try harder? But I can't change history, so why are you here?
Although Hyun's face was smeared with black ash, Tuoba Tao couldn't see her expression, but she could feel the heavy mood from Hyun's sudden change in aura. Tuoba Tao could understand that from a girl as wide as a noodle to a noodle Generally speaking, for a weak country to work hard to reach this level, the hardships cannot be described in a few words. However, Tuoba Tao had to take the Kunyu Kingdom into his hands. The Kunyu Kingdom was an existence that could not be ignored. Although the country was not as big as Tuyuhun, it was Just like Tuyuhun, it should not be indulged. If you swallow it in one gulp, your teeth will break, so take it under your command and keep it under your nose.
From a national level, Tuoba Tao didn't think he had done anything wrong, but when he saw Xun's appearance, he couldn't help but think "forget it". However, in the end, rationality prevailed. He wanted to comfort Xun, but After thinking for a long time, I didn't have the right words to say, so I stayed with her silently until she left.
Hyun returned to the place where she stayed, and everyone was sitting in the hall, looking at her with heavy eyes. Hyun was not as full of energy and high-spirited as before in front of everyone, but was as dejected as a defeated rooster, barely squeezing out a A very ugly smile.
Ning Fang stood up and pulled Hyun back to the room, held her in his arms, and stroked her head.
Ning Yu used to think that Xu was very ambitious and wanted to dominate the world, but later he realized that Xu was not ambitious, but had a heart of fraternity. The reason why he worked so hard to make Kun Yu strong was just to make the country stronger. The refugees have a place to live, but on the other hand, they are grateful for Ning Sheng's love for her and help him defend this territory.
Precisely because she had no ambition, her efforts stopped after everything was on track. Although they are still working hard, the knowledge that Hyun possesses has been proven through 1700 years of practice. It is currently the most advanced and scientific system. They can think of nothing, so no matter how hard they try, they can only do it according to Xun's method.
Although the country of Kunyu is growing stronger, it now shows its lack of ambition.
However, Ning Yu knew that becoming a vassal state made Xu feel uncomfortable, and he could not blame her. If it were not for Xu's efforts, Kun Yu would have been destroyed during the Five Husty period, but it could have come to this day and become a Lian Wei state. The degree to which a country needs to weigh things up is already very good.
He comforted softly:
"It doesn't matter. It's just a vassal state in name only. Moreover, Wei State can protect us for free. If we encounter a strong enemy attack, we will provide multiple layers of protection. We have also successfully negotiated cooperation. Kun Yu State will be more powerful in the future. The better, no matter how young you are, you won’t be able to get married. Haven’t you always been worried about this problem? Now it’s all solved, it’s good, it’s really good.”
As soon as Ning Fang said these words, Hyun's tears overflowed. From sobbing softly to bursting into tears, her emotions poured out.
Ning Fang hugged her silently, still stroking her head. He felt sad and happy at the same time. He was sad because Hyun cried like this and felt distressed. Fortunately, he was here and could be Hyun's support and no longer had to worry about it. In the past, I suffered in silence alone.
The journey back was relatively silent. Although the decision was discussed by Ning Yan and others, they still felt like sinners. When they saw Longban City, their eyes looked heavy.
After entering the city, the soldiers did not make things difficult for them, but were very considerate. Although they did not say any words of comfort, their words and deeds gave them great comfort, which made everyone both surprised and puzzled.
Shi Cen served Ning Yu, Xun, Jiang Wu, and Ru Yuan. During the dinner, Jiang Wu asked about the matter. Shi Cen retired and waited in the room before saying that it was because of Ning Yan. Ning Yan announced the huge disparity in national power between Kun Yu and Wei. , of course, did not publish detailed data, but just briefly talked about it, and analyzed the consequences after the war started and what kind of situation we would face after the war ended. He said a lot of words with sincerity and sincerity. In addition to letting the people understand that this is a last resort, In addition to saying good things to them, I also wanted to encourage the people to continue working hard to one day get rid of the situation of a vassal state.
Back in the capital, after finishing their official business, Ning Yu and Xun went to the palace to see Lin Hua. There was only one thing they were happy about this time, and that was Ning Yang. Ning Yang had not discussed marriage until she was seventeen years old. , everyone knows what Ning Sheng means.
Now Kunyu State is surrounded by Tuyuhun except Wei State, and Kunyu State is sandwiched between the two countries.
The reason why Tuyuhun did not touch the Kunyu Kingdom was firstly because he was afraid of the weapons of the Kunyu Kingdom, and secondly, Tuyuhun was a vassal state of the Wei Kingdom, and the Kunyu Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom had always had a good relationship, and Tuyuhun did not want to find trouble.
Therefore, Kunyu State does not need to please it, it only needs to maintain superficial friendship. In addition, in order to prevent the two countries from colluding, Wei State has also implemented a series of measures, so that the two countries can only have superficial exchanges.
As for the Wei State, it is an existence that cannot be ignored.
Kunyu State borders Wei State on three sides, and its national power is so strong that when you look at Kunyu State, it's like looking through your nostrils.
If it weren't for the fact that he had saved Shi Yijian before, had always taken care of Tuoba Gui, and had always had a good reputation among the people of Wei, I am afraid that Kun Yu would have been pinned to death by Wei.
As for those countries in the Western Region, although they have contacts with them, because they are too far away and there is Wei State in the middle, even if they want to unite, it is super inconvenient to travel with them.
It takes a year and a half for a letter to pass through five levels and kill six generals. Even if it can be successfully delivered to the other party, even if the other party can actively cooperate, even if the other party's strength can break through Wei's defense, the day lily will be cold when the support comes. All over.
Therefore, if there is someone we need to please, it is the State of Wei. If we want to get married, we can only do it with the State of Wei. Even the children know that Ning Yang was left to the State of Wei.
But because Tuoba Tao brought up the matter of the vassal state, the marriage issue was muddle-headed and was not mentioned again. Tuoba Tao later thought about it and did not mention it again. What he wanted was Yun. If not Yun, how could she be a vase-shaped woman? No, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. Moreover, the purpose of keeping Kun Yuguo under his nose has been achieved. It doesn't matter whether they are reconciled or not. Furthermore, he has designated that Hyun will be responsible for running errands in the future, and he will find something to meet every now and then. Meeting Hyun was more interesting than getting married. Tuoba Tao hid in the corner and covered his mouth and snickered because of his little plan.
Ning Yan and Hyun entered the palace to tell Lin Hua and Ning Yang that the marriage was cancelled, and that Ning Yang would not have to worry about being married in the future. Although they must have known about it, they felt it was necessary to tell them personally.
Just as the eunuch finished reporting, he saw Ning Yang running out, crying and throwing herself into Hyun's arms, calling "Auntie Huang" inarticulately. Hyun didn't say anything, but patted Ning Yang's back again and again and looked up. When Lin Hua and Ning Xu stood at the door, Lin Hua silently wiped her tears.
After Ning Yang's mood stabilized, several people entered the room. It was a happy thing, so after Ning Yang vented, he immediately smiled, as beautiful as flowers swaying in the spring breeze, chatting very happily, but everyone was heartbroken It is tacitly stated that the affairs of the vassal state are not mentioned.
Lin Hua took Hyun and rubbed her rough hands:
"Let's have dinner in the palace. Min will come over when he's done with his work. It's been a long time since we've had a good time together."
Hyun is a little reluctant. She is afraid of seeing Ning Sheng. When things were not going well in the past, Ning Sheng always said this to her and that to her. Now it can be said that the country has been sold. How can Ning Sheng let her go? Maybe he will take her away soon. The Imperial Guard came to arrest her.
Somewhat embarrassed he said:
"The four foodies at home are still waiting, so let's not eat. Instead, the Emperor's Wife, Xu, Yang and Prince Yun will come to the house."
Then he looked at Ning Yu for help.
Of course, Lin Hua knew why Ning Sheng didn't want to stay. Although Ning Sheng's attitude seemed to have changed after his illness, Lin Hua couldn't tell whether Ning Sheng's attitude had changed since he didn't encounter much trouble after his illness. allow.
Just as he was about to say something to dispel his doubts, he suddenly heard the eunuch calling Ning Sheng from outside. His movements were faster than his thoughts. Everyone saw a flash of something and saw that Hyun had climbed out of the window with unprecedented agility. He jumped out of the wall with the help of bushes.
When Ning Sheng came in, he saw everyone looking at a window in surprise and asking in confusion:
"What are you looking at?" He looked around and said, "Where's Hyun?"
Everyone looked at him with a "What do you think?" expression.
As a generation of emperors, after a little observation, I understood what was going on, and coughed a few times in confusion:
"This child..."
Becoming a vassal state was beyond Ning Sheng's expectation, but after learning the details of the matter from Ning Yu, and recalling the scene of his mission to the State of Zhao, he sighed helplessly and felt distressed. (To be continued)
