"What if I don't agree?" The emperor spoke these words slowly, his rich voice filled with dignity.
Shangguan Bu was very dissatisfied: That old bastard Zheng Yi, even at his age, actually took up Feng'er's idea. Besides, there is no reason for me to be afraid of you.
The emperor's answer seemed to be what everyone expected, and the atmosphere in the palace obviously returned to what it was before. Although it was quiet, it was not tense.
When Shangguan Feng'er heard that her father rejected Prince Chu Guoshuo's marriage request, her nervous heart relaxed and she respected the emperor even more.
She looked at the emperor and Concubine Liu in the palace. At this time, the emperor was holding Concubine Liu's hand, and Concubine Liu was looking at her with a sad face. She smiled at them to show that she was fine.
Shangguan Feng'er didn't realize that Liu Shishi was holding her hand tightly from the beginning. When she realized it, she gave Liu Shishi a reassuring look.
"Isn't Emperor Yan worried that your words will plunge the entire Yan Kingdom into war?" Zheng Sheng's tone was tepid, but every word struck the nerves of everyone present, and the atmosphere in the palace became tense again.
.
"Prince Shuo, you are now in the court of Yan State, threatening the Emperor of Yan State with war between the two countries. Everyone in the world can see clearly what is right and wrong." The queen spoke quietly, her voice was neither loud nor quiet, but
The meaning of the blame is self-evident: everyone in the world today knows that you threaten Yan with war between the two countries. If one day Yan and Chu really go to war, then you will be the world's sinner.
Shangguan Feng'er glanced at the queen and couldn't help but have a different view of her: before the incident in which Concubine Jing framed Shangguan Feng'er happened, Shangguan Feng'er only felt that the queen had taken care of the entire Yan harem in an orderly manner and balanced various aspects.
The power in the palace is a peacemaker who insists on the word "harmony" in everything.
However, since she learned that Shangguan Han's death was planned by her and she also tried to drive a wedge between Concubine Jing and Concubine Liu, she commented on the queen: This woman is too cruel and ruthless.
The Queen's words today made Shangguan Feng'er begin to re-examine the Queen: Regardless of the previous plot to kill Shangguan Han or the instigation of the relationship between Concubine Jing and Concubine Liu, in the end, this woman was still the wife of the Emperor of Yan and the Queen of Yan.
It is said that the three great kingdoms of Yan, Chu, and Qi can be said to be three kingdoms standing in opposition to each other on the Yas Continent. Although the relations between the countries are always in a state of tension, they all want to dominate the Yas Continent and unify the world.
However, the countries are evenly matched. If they really fight, both sides will lose, and the side watching will reap the benefits. Therefore, no one is willing to provoke a war in advance.
Now this envoy from Chu State dared to threaten the Emperor of Yan State with war between the two countries at the Yan State Hall. This was naturally under the instruction of the Emperor of Chu State. Otherwise, how could he dare to be so presumptuous? The ministers in the court knew it.
, so he was even more angry at the arrogance of the Emperor of Chu.
Zheng Sheng did not feel a trace of guilt, but instead smiled, "Queen Yan, what you said is wrong. Now it is Chu who wants to reconcile with Yan, but you have also seen that it is your Emperor Yan who rejects Chu's good intentions. If
If the war breaks out, how can it be regarded as the fault of our country of Chu?"
Shangguan Feng'er saw the shamelessness and smell of conspiracy in his smile. Why on earth was the Chu State so arrogant?
The emperor of the Chu State was lustful, but he was by no means so lustful that he lost his mind. Considering that the Chu State had wantonly annexed surrounding small countries in the northwest in recent years, its power expanded rapidly, and its ambition to unify the Yas continent gradually emerged.
Now the envoys from Chu State are so arrogant, just to provoke war, but Shangguan Feng'er doesn't understand why Chu State doesn't take action against Qi State, which is experiencing civil strife, but instead wants to provoke Yan State, which has a stable government.
If Chu wanted to attack Yan this time and did not take the opportunity to attack Qi, which was in civil strife, because the two countries were related by marriage more than ten years ago, it is impossible, because it was less than a year after Chu and his princess arrived in Qi.
After the death of the princess, the two countries almost came to war, so the alliance between the two countries was in vain.
It is said that the right can prevail all over the world, but the unreasonable cannot move forward. Regardless of ancient and modern times, if a country wants to launch a war, it will inevitably find a reason. Even if the United States attacks Iraq, it must first make the world "think" that Iraq is hiding biological and chemical weapons. In fact, everyone knows
In fact, Iraq was wronged, and everyone knew the purpose of the United States in provoking the war.
At this time, the Chu State's reason was that the Yan State did not agree to the marriage because the Yan State did not want to reconcile with it, and if it did not want to reconcile with it, it would lead to a war. This reason was too far-fetched, and the logic was too strong.
Shangguan Feng'er glanced at Zheng Sheng, Prince of Chu Guoshuo, and thought to herself, there are countless ways for the two countries to reconcile. Why did you, the Chu State, choose to get married or do it forcefully? She couldn't swallow this anger no matter what, and now it's
I don't offend everyone but they offend me. Naturally, she won't show weakness.
She walked up to Zheng Sheng and looked directly at Zheng Sheng with her phoenix eyes, "Prince Shuo, have you ever thought about how the people of the world would think of the Emperor of Chu if the Chu State started a war because the Yan State did not agree to the marriage?"
As he stood, a smile actually broke out on his face.
Prince Zheng Sheng was stunned when he saw Shangguan Feng'er's smile. She was the most beautiful woman in the world. She was like a fairy. No wonder the emperor wanted to get married. As a brother, Zheng Sheng knew how lustful Zheng Yi was.
, this is also an open secret in Yas continent.
"Prince Shuo, what do you think?" Shangguan Feng'er saw Zheng Sheng staying there without responding and called out as a reminder.
Zheng Sheng looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say. He was speechless for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this?"
"Lewd and immoral." Shangguan Feng'er's voice was not loud, but it seemed to hit Zheng Sheng's eardrums hard.
Zheng Sheng glanced around and felt a little guilty, "Where do you start with this?" Why did the emperor find such an excuse to attack the Yan Kingdom? Didn't this just leave an excuse for the world, and now he has to let himself
It is true that I am being ridiculed by a little girl here.
In fact, Zheng Sheng didn't know that Zheng Yi's marriage was not an excuse to fight against the Yan State. Its purpose was Shangguan Feng'er, but Zheng Sheng didn't know it. This is why Shangguan Feng'er couldn't figure out why Chu State didn't fight the civil strife.
The reason why the State of Qi came to attack the State of Yan, which had a stable government.
Shangguan Chen stepped forward at the right time and said, "My lord, you know that outside the palace, everyone calls my imperial sister the most beautiful woman in the world. Emperor Chu and his relatives have good intentions, but if they go to war because of our refusal to make peace, the world will be in trouble."
Don't people think that the marriage proposal proposed by the Chu Emperor was not really about making good friends with the Yan State, but the real purpose was to get the most beautiful woman in the world? Isn't this considered debauchery?
Isn’t it unethical for the emperor of a country to plunge the country’s people into chaos for a woman?” After saying that, he turned around and looked at Zheng Sheng with a smile, “Your Majesty, you think this prince is right.
