Chapter 178: Marriage (1)
The banquet was in the middle of the month, and finally reached the climax, Kang Yi walked forward with Kang Lan to pay homage to Emperor Chengwu, and then said the task of coming over this time - marriage!
"Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, this time our brother and sister came to make peace with the Great Jin Dynasty on the order of my Emperor Beiyu, hoping that the two countries will make good relations between Qin and Jin, and then the two will support each other and help each other!" Kang Yi said impassionedly.
Although others know these words, and everyone present also knows that the purpose of Beiyu's visit this time is to get married, but in terms of form, they still have to go through that way.
After Kang Yi finished speaking, the people behind him presented the gifts they brought this time, and those people had a box in each hand, and the scene was really grand, and it was also obvious that Beiyu attached great importance to this marriage.
Beiyu's strength is more than a little worse than that of Dajin, and it is also facing Daliang.
Although it is now a few big countries, with several small countries, the Great Jin, the Great Liang, the Beiyu, the Guanmo, and other small countries are dependent on these big countries.
Although among the four major powers, Beiyu and Guan Mo's strength is weaker, it does not prevent them from being in the four major powers, because their strength is not comparable, but they are better than the unique geographical advantage, even if other countries want to capture them, according to this geographical advantage, the other party will suffer heavy losses.
This is one of the reasons why both sides have been safe and sound for so many years.
The reason why Beiyu can't wait to form an alliance with Dajin is because his spies in Daliang received news that Daliang and Guan Mo have formed an alliance!
This is not good news for Beiyu, who lives near Daliang. Originally, Beiyu's strength was much worse than that of Daliang. Now, if Guan Mo also comes to intervene, wouldn't it make Beiyu fall into a trap.
Therefore, for this reason, Beiyu will beg for help like the Great Jin who lives on the other side, in order to seek a way to form an alliance and solve this urgent need.
If you want to talk about the geographical location of these four countries, it is also very interesting, Beiyu is sandwiched between two powerful countries, but relying on the superior terrain, tenaciously persevered to this day.
And Guan Mo is also in this situation, he is also sandwiched between Daliang and Dajin on the other side, but the two countries are not so similar. The distance between Guan Mo and the two countries is not as close as that of Beiyu to the two countries, and the people of Guan Mo are fierce, few but brave.
Regarding the alliance between Da Liang and Guan Mo, Emperor Cheng Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty naturally knew about it, after all, the Great Jin Dynasty would also send spies to inquire about the situation, and it was impossible to be beaten passively.
Emperor Chengwu's concerns are nothing more than two points, this alliance between Daliang and Guan Mo, if there is no intention to infringe on their two countries, Emperor Chengwu will never believe it......
Although they now seem to be aiming at Beiyu, fools know that if they solve the stumbling block of Beiyu, the next one will be the big fat of Dajin.
In terms of strength, Dajin and Daliang are comparable, but there is one thing that Daliang can't compare, that is, Dajin's god of war - Ye Zimo, if nothing else, Ye Zimo is a teenager, but he is like a god with soldiers, and he has not lost a battle in his hands, under his leadership, Dajin's army will only get stronger and stronger.
And the leader of Daliang is already in his twilight years, although he is a veteran, but no matter what, even if the two can be evenly matched now, the age of the general is impossible to change, maybe it will be fine in the past five years, but after five years, if the general dies, to be honest, Daliang will not find anyone who can replace him and lead the Daliang army......
At that time, the strength of the beam will be severely weakened.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Emperor Daliang is moving so quickly now...... It is to swallow other countries while the old general is still alive.
It's just that this matter can't be so easy at all, and it won't happen overnight...... Is the emperor of this Great Liang so anxious? In fact, even if the old general dies, Da Liang will not be able to find someone who can replace him so quickly, and his strength will be weakened, but Da Liang is also a big country with a deep heritage...... No other country would attack so quickly, unless there was some compelling reason, or ......
Emperor Chengwu and Kang Yi talked happily, and their faces were peaceful, but Xin Yan fell into deep thought......
She was thinking about the reason why Emperor Daliang did this, in fact, as early as a few months ago, she knew that Emperor Daliang was secretly dealing with Guan Mo's people, and it seemed that he had the intention of forming an alliance.
It's just that this matter naturally can't be only known to her, whether it is Dajin or Beiyu, they have their own forces, and each country sends spies to go deep into other countries, although this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, but it is also acquiesced by others.
No matter which emperor is, it is absolutely impossible for his country to be monitored by the emperors of other countries, but there is no way to do it, the territory is so large, if those people deliberately hide, it is impossible to find out all of them......
If you provoke people from other countries because of this, I am afraid that the people you send will not hide from them so easily...... This is more than worth the loss for both sides.
Don't look at Beiyu now showing favor to Emperor Chengwu of the Great Jin Dynasty, but Emperor Beiyu will naturally send people to monitor the situation of the Great Jin Imperial Court, after all, if there is anything unfavorable to them, they can also prevent it as soon as possible...... Don't be caught off guard, just like this time Da Liang and Guan Mo formed an alliance!
While knowing that there are spies from other countries in his country, Da Liang must be cautious and cautious about the alliance with Guan Mo, but although they are very protective of Dajin and Beiyu, they have also relaxed the surveillance of others, such as Xin Yan-
Xin Yan naturally not only focused on Dajin, for all unknown factors, Xin Yan would prepare in advance, and this matter was also expected by Xin Yan......
As for why he said that, in fact, Xin Yan knew more than outside...... Maybe he knows more than Emperor Chengwu......
On the surface, the reason may be guessed, that is, the old general who led the army of Daliang is old, and if it is a few years later, maybe he will return to the west, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the time when he can fight and lead the troops to remove all obstacles.
But if it is because of this, I can't help but feel that Emperor Liang is too hasty.
The old general's grandmother is already tall and it is not a matter of time, Emperor Daliang has long known that there is no one who can afford to lead the troops in his imperial court, so it is impossible to still do nothing, and not to train the next candidate, but to let it develop without worrying at all. Moreover, with the understanding of Emperor Xin Yan Daliang, he is not such a heartless person......
It can only be said that there are other reasons why he has to do that......
Suddenly, a clue flashed in Xin Yan's mind, his eyes flickered, and he had an epiphany, I see......
Xin Yan thought: If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be a fight soon......
Emperor Daliang has been fighting horses all his life, but now he has ended up like this. As early as a few years ago, she went to Daliang, and Daliang already had that trend, although it was not obvious at that time, but it was already faintly that trend.
She narrowed her eyes, remembered what happened before, the wine glass in her hand shook slightly, and Chang Ruan on the side saw her voice, so he called her: "Ah Yan? ”
"Huh?" Xin Yan's eyes were hazy, and when she looked at Chang Ruan's eyes, she thought she was drunk.
With a reproachful look, he said, "You drink so much? Now it's still at the banquet, what if you get drunk and get out of trouble? Quick, stop drinking! As he spoke, he snatched the bottle from her hand, and the wine bottle on her desk.
is like a mother who cares for her children, which made Xin Yan stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the wine glass in her hand and the wine bottle on the desk were gone.
Laughing for a while, he knew in his heart that Chang Ruan had misunderstood, and said: "Ruan'er, you think too much, I'm not drunk, I'm just thinking about things, not what you think." ”
Then he took back his wine glass, poured a glass of wine and said: "Besides, my alcohol consumption is not so bad, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaochun." Besides, I haven't taken a few sips yet—"
Chang Ruan looked at Wei Xiaochun with half-belief and suspicion, and was relieved when he got a nod from Wei Xiaochun.
However, he still said: "Even if you drink well, don't drink too much, it's not good for your health." ”
Xin Yan shook his head and said: "Wine is not necessarily a bad thing, he can dispel sorrows, warm up, and have a few drinks appropriately, which is also good for the human body, don't worry, I am measured." It's just you-"
Chang Ruan saw that Xin Yan was looking at her and that something was wrong, looked at himself and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"Have you been with Xiao Chun for a long time, why do you think you are getting more and more verbose, this is not good-"
Xin Yan's words were quickly recognized by another party.
"That's right, that's right, my sister and she, she just loves to worry too much, she can keep thinking about one thing, and there is no repetition of !!" Chang Nuan couldn't wait to raise his hands and feet in favor of what Xin Yan said, and finally someone said a fair word.
However, her words quickly won Chang Ruan's eyes, and Chang Ruan was glared at like that, Chang Nuan didn't dare to make a sound, turned her body to the other side, and didn't participate in the chat.
Chang Ruan was not polite to her, and said directly: "Just the tip of your ear." ”
Their bickering made Shao Yunqing can't help but chuckle.
It stands to reason that Shao Yunqing shouldn't sit here, but everyone knows that she has a good relationship with Xin Yan, and this banquet was also hosted by the queen mother.
In addition to Xin Yan's identity as the head of the Yan family, she also has another identity, that is, the righteous daughter of the queen's mother, so no matter what, it is not a matter for Xin Yan to sit on the throne.
The queen mother arranged Shao Yunqing here, perhaps because she felt that the two of them had a good relationship and found her a companion.
It's just that this behavior still aroused the jealousy of many nobles present.
