The enthronement ceremony will not change depending on whether kings and envoys from various countries arrive early or late.
The palace was visibly busy with preparations on the eve of the ceremony, so busy that there was almost no time to pay attention to the prince and princess of Mobei.
On the fourth day of September, envoys from the Southern Qi Dynasty arrived in Dongyou. I don’t know whether it was because of a tacit understanding or a tacit understanding and understanding between the countries. In addition to the prince, a beautiful princess also came from the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Moreover, the Prince of Southern Qi and the Prince of Mobei almost said the same thing, both wanting to dedicate their princesses. Of course, they also received the same reply.
Sicang had no interest in letting any women join his harem.
"I already have a married wife, and Dongyou also has a noble and sage queen, and I have no interest in marrying anyone else." Sicang always refused decisively and would not leave anyone with any unrealistic hope.
, "I deeply welcome the prince to come, and we can discuss the marriage again."
As the most powerful country in the world, the country that the new emperor wants to marry after he ascends the throne, the purpose is self-evident, it is nothing more than to achieve a good relationship between the two countries.
The marriage between Dongyou and Dayong is unsettling, especially for Southern Qi, Xijiang and Yan Kingdom. Mobei has long been a vassal state, but I don’t feel this deeply. Being a vassal of Dongyou and completely becoming a territory on Dongyou’s territory
The fiefdom had little impact on them - at least less than the impact of the annexation of a large country.
The Southern Qi, Xijiang and Yan Kingdoms had witnessed Dongyou's ambition to unify the world twenty years ago. They did not believe that a change of people on the throne would curb such ambitions. Instead, they believed that the marriage between Dongyou and Dayong
, it was the beginning of his quest to conquer the world.
So Nan Qi tried to achieve a temporary friendship with Dongyou through marriage, so that they could have more time to form an alliance and fight Dongyou's ambitions together.
However, the new emperor Dongyou actually rejected the marriage proposal, which was not in line with Southern Qi's expectations.
Pei Yicheng sat on the table and was silent for a long time: "I think marriage is the best way to promote good relations between the two countries. I hope the emperor will consider Nan Qi's sincerity."
"Marriage is not the best way. There are too many heartless and unjust people in the world. How can Prince Pei be sure that a man who marries a wife can guarantee that he will be loyal to his wife for the rest of his life?" Yun Zishu smiled unhurriedly, "
There are high-ranking officials who pamper their concubines and destroy their wives, and there are people who are addicted to gambling and sell their wives and daughters. Marriage cannot absolutely guarantee the harmony of a family, nor can it guarantee the long-term friendship between two countries."
Pei Yicheng's expression changed slightly. He could understand what Queen Dongyou said. It was simply saying that the marriage between the two countries meant nothing. If Dongyou was really ambitious, it would be impossible for them to stop their conquest just because they married a princess.
The footsteps of the world.
However……
"Peace is actually not only the wish of the people, but those in power are not completely willing to go to war." Yun Zishu smiled, "The conclusion of friendship can be implemented by signing a covenant. If the king of a country wants to keep his promise, the weight of the covenant is enough
"If a king reneges on his word, he can still renege on his promise even if he stuffs the princesses from all over the world into his harem."
As soon as Pei Yicheng said this, the expressions of Dongyou's ministers changed slightly before Pei Yicheng said anything. They signed an alliance and concluded friendship?
Dongyou's ultimate goal is to become the overlord of the world, so how can he sign a friendly alliance with them? Did the Queen deliberately say this to Prince Pei, or did she really mean it?
"What the Queen said is absolutely true." Pei Yicheng nodded slowly and picked up the wine cup in front of him, "I come here with sincerity. Kings from all over the world hope that the country will be rich and powerful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. May we work hard to create a prosperous world.
Work together.”
Yun Zishu turned to look at Sicang.
Si Cang picked up the wine cup and said in a calm but coercive tone: "What Prince Pei said is true. What the king wants is for the country to be prosperous and prosperous, and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. The losses caused by the war are immeasurable. I hope that during my reign
It will allow all countries to live in peace and there will be no war within thirty years."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Pei Yicheng said, raising his glass and drinking it down in one gulp.
Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, he would not question it, but he would still be on guard. He would not think that Dongyou had really given up his ambitions just because of such a frivolous promise.
The ministers of Dongyou thought in their hearts that although Dongyou is currently the strongest, if they really want to conquer the world, they still need to continue to strengthen their troops. There must be enough money in the treasury to continuously support the war.
Since the emperor had just ascended the throne, it was impossible to start a war immediately.
Dongyou still needs at least three to five years to prepare, so these words must be to reassure the Crown Prince of Nan Qi.
Both sides had their own Xiao Jiujiu, but Sicang and Yun Zishu didn't care what they thought. The palace banquet was over and they continued to arrive at Qinzheng Palace.
"In a few days, Dayong's envoy will arrive." Yun Zishu stood in front of the window, her expression as indifferent as snow, "The restlessness of other countries comes from the marriage between Dongyou and Dayong, but they don't know.
The person we most want to deal with is Dayong."
As she said at the palace banquet, marriage doesn't mean anything. She still falls out when it's time to fall out, and no one can stop it.
Si Cang stood beside her and put his arm around her shoulders: "Dayong will eventually become Shu'er's Dayong."
Yun Zishu turned to look at him: "Sicang."
"Um."
"Before your father abdicated the throne, we always felt that it would take a long time to do what we had to do." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "But you became the emperor so quickly, and I also became the Queen of Dongyou."
Sicang's words were gentle: "I believe that not long after, we will set foot on Dayong's territory again."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "When I become the Empress of Dayong, can we have a real marriage again?"
Si Cang was silent for a moment, then frowned: "Shu'er still remembers my promise?"
"What promise?"
"I am betrothed by Jiangshan to marry Yun Zishu, the legitimate princess of the Great Yong Dynasty." Sicang pursed his lips, "Now I have changed my mind."
"What's the idea?"
"It should be Shu'er who asked Jiang Shan to marry Dong Ling Cang, the emperor of Dongyou." Sicang raised his lips, "In this way, I can enter Shu'er's harem openly and become the royal husband that Shu'er is marrying."
Yun Zishu's expression was subtle and she didn't speak for a long time.
"Shu'er?"
"Sicang, you are truly the most wonderful person in the world." Yun Zishu laughed, "I'm afraid I will never find another person like you among men."
"Things are rare and valuable." Sicang said, "There are too many mediocre people in the world, but a unique man like me is doubly precious."
Yun Zishu couldn't bear it anymore, hugged his face and kissed him, with a smile in her voice: "Sicang, you are so cute."
