Chapter 859: Isolated and Helpless

On August 16, a state banquet was held in Dongling to entertain kings and dignitaries from various countries.

A prince, Duanmu Yu, came from northern Xinjiang. He was already a frequent visitor to Dongling. Although the last time he came here was not pleasant and even a little scary, this time Dongling took the initiative to invite kings and nobles from various countries to visit Dongling. He was not worried. Another accident occurred, and this time there were five thousand guards escorting the prince.

In fact, it was not Duanmu Yu who wanted to come, but the emperor's health had become weaker and weaker in recent years, and he could not bear the hard work of traveling and traveling, so he, the prince, could only be sent as an envoy on the emperor's behalf.

Duanmu Yu did have hesitation, struggle, and hesitation before coming to Dongling. Ministers from various factions in the court expressed their opinions. Some people thought that Dongling was now a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the prince should not take risks. Others thought that if the prince did not go, it would give people a sense of fear. The impression of Dongling.

Northern Xinjiang was once the most powerful cavalry country among the nine countries. If it fell to the point where it did not dare to even be invited by the king of other countries, it would only make people laugh.

So after months of deliberations, discussions, and debates in court, Duanmu Yu finally set foot on this land that he didn't like very much.

This was originally expected by Rong Yu.

Not only Duanmu Yu, but also Xiqi thought that Dongling's invitation was a Hongmen Banquet. The battle between Lin Ao, the regent of Xiqi, and the young emperor was ultimately defeated. The Lin family was executed by the entire clan. Xuanyuan Yao was still alive when this happened at the end of last year. During the conquest of South Vietnam, all countries were paying attention to the war in South Vietnam, so the cessation of the civil strife in Xiqi seemed a bit insignificant.

After the New Year, the situation in the Western Qi Dynasty has just stabilized, but it is undeniable that although the little emperor finally won this internal fight and successfully took control of the real power, his own injuries were also extremely serious. The generals in charge of the military in the DPRK were previously killed by Lin Ao's uncle and nephew suppressed him severely. After the little emperor came to power, there were not many people he could use. He still needed enough time to stabilize his throne and cultivate his cronies.

Therefore, he actually thought about Dongling's invitation for a long time, and finally decided to give in. He directly sent an eloquent censor from the court with several ministers, and clearly informed Her Majesty the Queen Dongling and the Regent. , There have been many incidents in Xiqi recently, and the emperor really can't leave. I ask your majesty and the regent to forgive me.

Naturally, Nan Xi and Rong Yu wouldn't mind this little thing.

The one who came from the Great Zhou Dynasty was Rong Chuxiu. In order to express his respect for the emperor's uncle and the Great Zhou Dynasty's congratulations on Dongling's destruction of South Vietnam, Rong Chuxiu not only came to congratulate him in person, but also brought very grand congratulatory gifts, each of which was heavy. Although boxes and long gift lists are common to all countries, taking out so many lavishly is enough to cause heartache for any country.

So is Shu.

The newly appointed regent princess and the prince-in-law came in person, followed by a team carrying generous gifts. At first glance, they thought it was Shili Hongzhuang, and they only brought the treasury of Shu.

"Originally, I wanted to present a few beautiful young men to Her Majesty the Queen." Ye Qingcheng's attitude was very sincere, "But my prince-in-law was timid and was afraid that I would be splashed with blood and never be able to return to Shu, so I had to give up and hope that Her Majesty the Queen would forgive me. "

The ministers of Dongling stared at this elegant woman with open mouths, secretly thinking that she is really brave. In front of the regent of Dongling, she bluntly offered a beautiful boy to Her Majesty the Queen?

The blood splattered on the spot was probably minor. Doesn’t she know how South Vietnam was destroyed?

Yunting stood aside with a helpless smile on his face.

He also felt that Ye Qingcheng was brave enough to dare to provoke the tiger.

"Princess Qingcheng is so kind and I accept it with my heart." Nan Xi smiled gently, "Thank you so much to the Kingdom of Shu for sending such a grand congratulatory gift. Please take a seat, both of you."

Rong Yu said nothing, his eyes were cold and threatening, and he was unparalleled in dignity.

Ye Qingcheng bowed slightly: "The territory of the world is Dongling's largest, and the military strength of the world is Dongling's strongest. From now on, the Shu Kingdom is willing to respect Dongling and pay tribute every year to show its sincerity. I only hope that the world will be stable and there will be no more wars."

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Prince Duanmuyu of Northern Xinjiang and the envoys of Western Qi Dynasty all had stiff expressions on their faces, and were caught off guard by the sudden singing of this song by the Shu Kingdom.

Is Dongling the largest territory in the world?

Is Dongling the strongest military force in the world?

Although these are all facts at the moment, why should other countries respect Tanglin from now on?

Shu could just do it quietly on its own accord, so why should it express its position in public? What do you want to do? Are the female streamers too cowardly, or do they want to force other countries to follow suit?

Duanmu Yu clenched his wine glass tightly, wishing he could kill Ye Qingcheng on the spot to vent his anger.

"The eldest princess of Shu has good intentions. Her Majesty, the Queen of Dongling, also really likes to have good relations with other countries, so that the world can be stable and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." A leisurely and pleasant voice sounded during the dinner, "The only question is whether the world can be stable, war Whether it can be completely stopped still depends on the attitude of each country. If someone always makes provocations regardless of life and death, then isn't it like South Vietnam's own destruction? "

After the words fell, the ministers of Dongling nodded one after another, "Yes, Dongling has always been a country seeking stability and will never take the initiative to start a war. However, there are always some people who think that Dongling is easy to bully and make stupid provocations time and time again. Why don’t you give them some color to show that Dongling’s cavalry army is vegetarian?”

"The destruction of South Vietnam is a warning to other countries. I hope that everyone present should restrain their ambitions. Of course, if you can sincerely make good friends with Dongling like the eldest princess of Shu, it will definitely be a pleasure. things.”

This is indeed a Hongmen Banquet.

Duanmu Yu, the prince of Northern Xinjiang, who was holding a wine cup, thought so, and the envoy of Xiqi also thought the same.

Using the attitude of Shu to force other countries to surrender, willingly pay tribute to show sincerity, and respect Dongling as the master from now on, is this considered greedy and ambitious?

"In fact, what the Princess of Shu said is also my idea." Rong Chuxiu, the Emperor of the Great Zhou sitting in the first seat on the left, spoke loudly, "This time, the Great Zhou presented a gift, firstly to celebrate Dongling's great victory in the battle with Nanyue, and secondly to show my attitude, from now on, Dongling will be respected, only for the stability of the world and no more wars in the world."

The envoys of the Great Zhou nodded one after another: "With Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent, Dongling will surely prosper and prosper, and the country will last forever."

The Great Zhou and Dongling were originally a family, and one family naturally supported one family. In order to ensure the stability of the territory of the Great Zhou and the well-being and prosperity of the people, it is necessary to hold on to the thigh of the Regent.

Duanmu Yu suddenly realized that since the destruction of Nanyue, the Northern Frontier has been isolated and helpless.
