Chapter 467 Dongyou Document

"After the summer?" Prime Minister Wei, who was sitting in the first place on the left, looked slightly changed. "So, we still have to wait for the first half of the year?"

King Jing and Prince Jing came back half a year later? No, he was trying to win over the ministers of the court for King Qi. He must not let Prince Jing and King Jing have a chance to come back, otherwise all the achievements he had made in the past few months would be wasted.

"Because Queen Dongyou has just given birth to the eldest son of the royal family, and the child is still young, they are worried about leaving him alone in the palace." Emperor Zhaoming held the document and turned to look at the courtiers on the left, "What do you think, dear ministers?

"

Gu Qiubai frowned: "Has the Emperor Dongyou ever explained why the Crown Prince and Prince Jing were left in Dongyou?"

"The document mentioned that King Jing went to conquer the Western Xinjiang." Emperor Zhaoming looked gloomy and handed the document in his hand to the chamberlain beside him, asking him to pass it on to the ministers for review. "The queen was pregnant before, and her mood was ups and downs during that period, so

He left the prince Yun Chen in Dongyou to express his homesickness. Now that the queen gave birth to the prince safely, a big stone fell in his heart. The emperor of Dongyou was so happy that he decided to bring the queen to Dayong as a guest in autumn.

, Yun Chen will come back with him, so I don’t have to worry."

"Your Majesty!" the Southern Qi envoy said urgently, "I can confirm that King Jing did not go to Western Xinjiang at all! My Crown Prince saw King Jing appear at the coronation ceremony of the new emperor with his own eyes. King Jing was detained for several months. After the coronation ceremony,

He intended to cooperate with our prince, but Emperor Dongyou didn't give him this opportunity at all. He quickly sent someone to send King Jing to Guanyi and put him under house arrest. What I said is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no lie! For now

Only by forming an alliance between our two countries and jointly dealing with the unruly Dongyou can we curb their ambition!"

The faces of the ministers in the palace were solemn, and they didn't know for a moment whether to believe the envoys of Southern Qi or the documents written by Emperor Dongyou himself.

"Please be patient, General." Emperor Zhaoming spoke gently, with a hint of comfort, "I didn't say that I definitely believed what they said, but Prince Pei didn't know much about the situation in Dongyou, and maybe he himself had some situations.

I don’t know either.”

General Nan Qi was displeased: "Your Majesty, do you mean that our prince lied to you?"

Emperor Zhaoming quickly smiled and said: "That's not what I meant -"

"Emperor Dongyou is not only ambitious, but also cunning and treacherous. The emperor has no idea of ​​their purpose." The Southern Qi general said solemnly, "If our two countries do not unite, sooner or later he will defeat them one by one!"

Prime Minister Wei said: "General, don't be so arbitrary. Our Dayong and Dongyou are related by marriage. Princess Dayong became the queen of Dongyou, and now she has given birth to Dongyou's eldest son. This is enough to prove Dongyou's attitude towards Dayong.

."

Emperor Zhaoming's eyebrows moved. Yes, Dongyou's attitude towards Zishu was impeccable. Not only did he accept the title of queen, but his eldest son was also the daughter of Zishu, and Dayong was the maternal ancestor of Dongyou's eldest son.

Family, which other country has such a close relationship with each other?

Did the prince of Nan Qi know about this close relationship, and was worried that if Dongyou and Dayong formed an alliance, Nan Qi would completely lose its ability to resist, so he took advantage of their lack of information to try to sow discord between Dayong and Dongyou?

However, when he thought about it again, Emperor Zhaoming thought of the deteriorating relationship between himself and Zishu, and couldn't help but wonder if Zishu was deliberately making things difficult for him to retaliate, and wanted to make him worry and uneasy?

"Your Majesty, what I just said is true. My prince has seen it with his own eyes——"

"Okay." Emperor Zhaoming raised his hand to interrupt him, "Let me think about it carefully."

The envoy of Nan Qi wanted to say something more, but when he saw the other party's expression that he clearly didn't want to talk more, he had to shut up temporarily, but he couldn't help but cursed an idiot in his heart.

His two sons were detained in Dongyou, but he still thought that Dongyou really regarded them as in-laws?

How ridiculous.

After the palace banquet was over, Emperor Zhaoming returned to the palace alone. He did not summon anyone to discuss business matters, but quietly leaned on the dragon couch, closing his eyes and meditating.

My heart is also in confusion, I don’t know who is right and who is wrong.

Emperor Dongyou's documents were quite satisfactory and his attitude was not inappropriate. There was neither the arrogance of a powerful country nor overly sincere words. It was just like a normal exchange of letters between the two kings.

If the king of the country of Dongyou really plans to bring the queen to Dayong in person, he will undoubtedly give Dayong the greatest respect and the most reassuring approach.

After all, this means that the two countries will only live in friendship and cannot easily start a war. Otherwise, if the king of a country easily steps into a hostile country, wouldn't it be like entrusting his life to the hands of others?

If they really have other motives, at worst they will imitate Emperor Dongyou and trap people in Dayong to see if their troops dare to move.

But what if this instrument is just a stopgap measure?

If what the Crown Prince of Nan Qi saw is true, what the envoy of Southern Qi told is true, King Jing and the Crown Prince are trapped in Dongyou together, and this document from the Emperor of Dong You is just to fool them... this is the worst possible outcome.

Intend.

So how should they respond?

Emperor Zhaoming raised his hand to wipe his face, his brows and eyes filled with gloom.

It was only then that he deeply realized the importance of strong military strength. If Dayong had troops as powerful as Dongyou, he could have led his troops to demand King Jing half a year ago——

In other words, it can be said that Dongyou simply did not have the confidence to leave King Jing there.

The only thing he can pray for now is that Dongyou is not a bandit country with no rules, otherwise many things in the future may be without rules.



Because of his inner resistance to war, after careful consideration for several days, Emperor Zhaoming finally chose to believe in Dongyou's covenant.

The two envoys of the Southern Qi Dynasty tried their best to talk but to no avail. They couldn't help but feel a little angry: "There are always people who don't follow the rules at all. Why does the emperor trust them so much?"

Emperor Zhaoming's explanation was that he believed in his daughter, but he knew very well that war was not necessarily a losing situation, but it was not a risk he wanted to take.

As long as the Feng family's army is not fighting, the Feng family has to figure out all the military supplies and supplies themselves. But as long as there is a war, military pay, food, grass, and equipment need to be allocated money from the treasury.

This is a huge expense.

What's more, once the Feng Family Army has made a contribution, their reputation will surely rise again, and it will be more difficult to deal with them in the future.

Emperor Zhaoming calmed down his emotions and said calmly: "I am very grateful to several of you for coming from afar, and I am willing to entertain you warmly, but the others -"

"Even if His Majesty the Emperor believes in Dongyou and is unwilling to turn against Dongyou, there is nothing to lose by forming an alliance with Nan Qi." General Nan Qi interrupted him, "If all countries in the world are allies, does that mean a closer relationship between them?

, and a more stable and peaceful country?"
