Chapter 829: Marriage
Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Zhang Zhao didn't want to sell anything more, so he said: "Eternal Dynasty, there is absolutely no problem in forming an alliance with them. ”
As soon as they heard this, the dignitaries of the Eastern Kingdom fell into deep thought. After a while, the king raised his head and said, "This immortal dynasty is a superpower, it has directly annexed two dynasties not long after its rise, and now it is a strong army, and the land area is unprecedentedly large. Do you say they'll agree to an alliance with us, a little eastern country?"
"If they will, will you, the king?"
"Haha"
The king couldn't help laughing, looked around at the dignitaries, and said, "That must be something that cannot be sought, and you say that if I have the slightest way, I will not send someone to the north to form an alliance with those barbarians, right?"
"Well, from now on, you and the Immortal Dynasty are in an alliance."
"Huh?"
The king was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard, he looked at Zhang Zhao to the side, and said in surprise: "What did the hero just say? ”
Zhang Zhao's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "I said, from now on, your Eastern Kingdom and the Eternal Dynasty are in an alliance relationship. ”
As soon as he heard this, the king looked at Zhang Zhao again, and asked with a serious expression: "Dare to ask about the identity of the hero." ”
"My name is Zhang Zhao, and I don't have any identity now, if I really want to say it, it is the founder of this immortal dynasty, the first king. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence at the scene, and everyone thought that they had heard it wrong, and how could a young and strong young man be the king of this immortal dynasty?
Before this, no matter which dynasty people had imagined in their minds what the king of the Immortal Dynasty would look like, either a middle-aged man who was only eight years old, or an old man.
Whatever it looks like, it can't be such a young man as he is now.
After a moment of silence, everyone began to talk about each other. Until a voice whispered, "I remember someone said that the king of the Eternal Dynasty is called Zhang Zhao."
"Everyone, be quiet!"
No matter how he talked about it, the king still couldn't believe that Zhang Zhao was the king of this immortal dynasty, and it was impossible for him to put the fate of the entire dynasty on a young man.
"This hero, you said that you are the first king of the Eternal Dynasty, is there any evidence?"
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "There is nothing to prove, if you are willing, then say your own conditions, if you are unwilling, just let me make a joke with everyone." I still have something to do to make a trip to the East China Sea, and I can't stay here for long. ”
Zhang Zhao's attitude put the king of the Eastern Kingdom in a dilemma, if what he said was true, if he didn't believe it, then it was undoubtedly a waste of an opportunity to form an alliance with the Great Dynasty. But then I thought about it, even if what he said was false, it didn't seem to have any impact on his dynasty, and he would be cheated out of some money if it was a big deal, and he would still have the opportunity to form an alliance with the Eternal Dynasty in the future, wouldn't he?
The king chose to believe Zhang Zhao for the time being, so he asked: "It's no problem to form an alliance, I haven't thought of the conditions for the time being, why don't you talk about your conditions first, and I'll see if it's reasonable?"
"Very good"
Zhang Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "You chose to form an alliance, not to form a direct alliance with the Eternal Dynasty, but to join the Eternal Alliance. There are four sects in it, and their strength is gradually expanding. Of course, the affairs of the cultivation realm are handled by cultivators, and the ordinary realm is handled by ordinary people. If you join the Eternal Life Alliance, the Eternal Dynasty will immediately send 200,000 troops to come and station them to contribute to the defense of the Eastern Kingdom, but you will be paid. ”
"Okay, that's totally fine. ”
After seeing that the king agreed, Zhang Zhao spoke again: "For other dynasties, the royal family will directly remove the title of prince, and for your eastern kingdom, I can relax my strategy and continue to retain your royal family, but the annual supply and demand are twice that of other princes, what do you think of this condition?"
"Then what are the standards of the other princes?"
"300 million taels a year"
Three hundred million taels of gold is easy for a cultivator to earn, even for a small dynasty. The eastern kingdom needs to supply double, that is, 600 million taels of gold a year, which is not worth mentioning for a country at all. More importantly, the 600 million taels of gold is just a standard, not that 600 million gold must be paid, and it can also be replaced by goods.
"Is there anything else?"
Zhang Zhao shook his head, indicating that there were no other conditions.
After thinking for a moment, the king nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, that's no problem, I can form an alliance with you and join the Eternal Alliance." But you have to promise me one condition. ”
Without waiting for Zhang Zhao to speak, the king first looked at Xue Wu on the side, and said lightly: "You need to marry Xue Wu as a wife, and our two countries will marry to make the relationship stronger." ”
"Ahh
Zhang Zhao was also stunned, and hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, this is absolutely not good, I already have a wife and children, and I can't marry Princess Snow Dance again." ”
Seeing Zhang Zhao's refusal, the king frowned slightly, and then said: "If you can marry Xue Wu as a wife, I am willing to offer double, and it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that you are still a king." ”
Looking at the appearance of the king, he was determined to give Xue Wu to Xu to Zhang Zhao, so as to establish the friendship between the two countries.
But Zhang Zhao and Xue Wu didn't want this kind of thing, and kept prevaricating.
But who knows, just after Zhang Zhao refused for the third time, the king stood up directly and said excitedly: "King Zhang, if you don't agree, I won't get up." ”
As soon as the words fell, the king actually knelt down directly for Zhang Zhaohui. As soon as he knelt, the dignitaries next to him also knelt down.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhaozhen didn't know what to do.
Accept it, I already have three wives, what's the matter with marrying another one now?
If you don't accept it, you are also the king of a country, and you are kneeling down and begging with so many important people, which is a bit too cold-blooded.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Zhao helped the king up, and said earnestly: "I understand what you mean, I can agree to this family business." ”
"King Zhang is really benevolent and righteous, and I thank you on behalf of the people of Dongguo. ”
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "Thank you for no need, I will state to you in advance that I already have three wives and two children, if Xue Wu marries me and wrongs her, then I can't be responsible." ”
"I'm sure you won't be that kind of person, and you will treat any wife with the same affection as ever. ”
