The most important thing is that no prince dares to do anything to him.
His current status is that of the foreign minister of Dashang, and he is extremely noble. Anyone who dares to touch him will definitely incur the wrath of Dashang.
Now, Nangong Yi suddenly spoke in the court hall. He must have thought of a way to deal with Nan Qi.
The envoy's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his whole body became more energetic. He seemed to be thinking about how to guard against Nangong Yi.
"I wonder what Nangong Xiangguo has to say?"
Nangong Yi immediately turned around and walked to the map of the world hanging above the main hall.
"Since it is a vassal state, it must pay tribute to the Emperor of Shang. Thirteen cities can be exchanged with you, but the remaining seven cities must be supplied to the Emperor of Shang in the name of the King of Southern Qi!"
The Southern Qi envoy's pupils suddenly dilated. He thought Nangong Yi was going to use some means, but he didn't expect that he would be ordered to pay tribute so nakedly.
Although Southern Qi would lose a lot in this way, everything gained from sending troops to attack Liang some time ago would be in vain. Fortunately, it was able to take back the thirteen cities in the north.
With a helpless sigh, the Southern Qi envoys could only agree to make an alliance.
Nangong Yi turned around and bowed to Zhao Rui: "His Royal Highness, King Zhao, you and your Majesty still need to decide whether to establish a covenant or not."
Zhao Rui chuckled, and he understood what he meant as soon as he looked at Nangong Yi's eyes.
"Then we will make a covenant on the spot, but Southern Qi often goes back on its word. After they hand over the household registration of these cities and withdraw their troops, we will return those thirteen cities."
The envoy of the Southern Qi Dynasty was stunned. The two parties signed an alliance and must withdraw their troops at the same time and give up the city. There is no reason for one side to give way first.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, this is absolutely impossible! If this happens, won't it break the rules among the vassal states?"
Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, with a domineering look on his face.
"We, the Great Shang, are the suzerains of the world. How can we act according to the rules of the vassal states?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Dachang Court burst into laughter.
"A small vassal state comes to my great merchant court to act arrogantly without even weighing itself."
"It's better to go back quickly and let your King Qi hand over the twenty cities first."
...
The Southern Qi envoy was immediately panicked, but he quickly calmed down and stared at Zhao Rui with an extremely fierce look.
"His Royal Highness, King Zhao, is so aggressive. Aren't you afraid that our country, Qi, will send troops?"
Zhao Rui's face was full of contempt: "You Nan Qi are just meat on the chopping board of my Dashang. You come here to bargain. I have already tolerated it. Now you actually want to threaten my Dashang?"
The Southern Qi envoy immediately took several steps back, his whole body filled with terror.
Today's Dashang has long been different from the past. Just Lesheng's army could have destroyed Southern Qi, not to mention that Dashang had just defeated the 800,000-strong army of Xishu, and the army was at its peak.
If Zhao Rui is really angered, the troops will be sent out, and Nan Qi will disappear from the world while talking and laughing.
Being able to receive them in the court now is already the greatest grace.
