Chapter 758: It's both a sister and a queen
"I can persuade Your Majesty to write a letter to the Byzantine Emperor in your own handwriting, mediate the conflict between you and the Byzantine Empire, and hope that you can work together to deal with the Great Cannibals, I don't know what you think?" Li Xiu squinted his eyes at this time and glanced at Mysia and Bahra in front of him, and said in a soft tone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Bahra couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, if Datang was willing to mediate, it was indeed a way to repair relations with Byzantium, but at this time, he couldn't help but look at Misia next to him again, because he didn't know who Li Xiu would give this opportunity to? After all, from the beginning to the present, Li Xiu has not clearly expressed his support for one of them.
"Yan Guogong, Byzantium is even farther away from your Tang Dynasty, do you think that just a letter from the Tang Emperor can make the Byzantines give up their hatred of our Persia?" At this moment, Misya, who had been silent, suddenly raised her head and asked.
"Indeed, Byzantium is too far away from our Datang, and most of the Byzantines may not have heard of our Datang, but I believe that if the Byzantine emperor really has vision and foresight, he will definitely pay attention to our Datang's suggestions, and in addition, this matter cannot rely on our Datang alone, the most important thing is the sincerity of your Persians, after all, the alliance is good for you, otherwise you will all become the sacrifice of the great cannibals in the future!" Li Xiu first nodded when he heard this, and then said very seriously.
"Yan Guogong is right, the letter of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can only be an opportunity for us to Persia, the most important thing is to see if we can seize this opportunity, if Yan Guogong can give us this opportunity, I, Bahra, am willing to ask the general for his life, personally send an envoy to Byzantium, strive for an alliance between the two countries, and fight against the Great Eclipse!" Bahra is worthy of being a businessman, and he is very good at seizing opportunities, so he immediately expressed his attitude to Li Xiu.
"I ...... I am also willing to take the initiative to send an envoy to Byzantium, and I also ask the Duke of Yan to give us this opportunity! When Misia heard Bahra's words, she immediately became a little flustered, and hurriedly remedied.
However, as soon as Misia's words came out, Alda next to him showed an anxious performance, and it was too late to stop him, because Misia's words did not have any sincerity at all, and he was just repeating Bahra's words, which not only did not play any role, but would make Li Xiu have a bad impression of them.
"Hehe, I have already understood the thoughts of the two of you, and I will also persuade Your Majesty as soon as possible, and then there will be not only a letter to the Byzantine Emperor, but also a batch of supplies to support you, you can go back and wait for news!" Li Xiu chuckled again at this time, and didn't seem to care about Misia's words.
"Yan Guogong, you haven't told us who His Majesty's letter and support materials are going to give to, I came on behalf of the king of Persia, I hope Yan Guogong can think carefully!" Seeing that Li Xiu did not make a clear statement, Misia was also a little anxious, and said again preemptively. In fact, she also realized that she had a little gaffe just now, but when she was in a hurry, she became more and more flustered, and she didn't realize that her words were already a little impatient, and she might even anger Li Xiu.
Seeing that Misia was so out of shape, Alda next to her finally couldn't help but open her mouth to save her: "Don't misunderstand Yan Guogong, we ......"
"That's it!" Before Arda finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xiu's somewhat displeased words, "I am still very sympathetic to you Persia, and I will also help you intercede with Your Majesty, as for Your Majesty's decision, it is not up to me to control it, so you better go back and wait for news!" ”
After Li Xiu finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and at the same time raised the tea bowl to send off the guests, Bahra knew the etiquette of the Central Plains, and he also knew that he had successfully occupied the advantage, so he also stood up very simply, smiled and said goodbye to Li Xiu, although Misia was a little unwilling, but in the end he was persuaded by Alda to leave.
After watching Misia leave, Li Xiu couldn't help but sneer, originally he and Misia, a group of Persian envoys, had known each other before, and he was actually a little biased towards them psychologically, but today's performance of Misia was really disappointing, whether it was eloquence or ability, Misia, a woman, was far from being able to compare with Bahra.
In addition, the most important thing is that behind Bahra is a big warlord who holds the real power of Persia, and behind Misia is just a group of nobles who have lost their military power, with the current situation in Persia, the people who hold the real power are naturally more worthy of wooing, no wonder Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji were more inclined to Bahra before, and now Li Xiu has finally experienced it himself.
However, the most satisfying thing for Li Xiu was the Persian envoy Bahra, who was not only proficient in the culture of the Central Plains, but also an important figure in the Persian real power, and the general Khavad behind him was the most powerful warlord in Persia, and if he could really cooperate with Byzantium, maybe it might really be possible to curb the rise of the Great Cannibals.
Li Xiu didn't have any special grudges against the Great Cannibal, but he knew that with the expansion of the Great Cannibal, it would threaten the Tang Dynasty's future rule over the Western Regions, especially the Battle of Hengros more than a hundred years later, which led to the Tang Dynasty's withdrawal from Central Asia, of course, the Great Food was unable to go west, but after the Great Food controlled Central Asia, it would affect the security of the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty, which was the biggest impact on the Tang Dynasty.
It is precisely in consideration of the above that Li Xiu wants to take this opportunity to set up more obstacles on the road to the rise of the Great Food, if the Persians and the Byzantines can join forces to completely curb the expansion of the Great Food, even if it can't be contained, it can slow down the pace of the expansion of the Great Food, and all the Tang needs to pay is a little material, and a letter from Li Shimin, such a cost-effective deal, presumably Li Shimin is also very willing to do it.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu also began to think in his heart to find an opportunity to enter the palace again, and talk to Li Shimin about his thoughts, last time he suggested to Li Shimin that instead of wasting materials to support Persia, it is better to invite the king of Persia to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, because he thinks that Persia has no possibility of turning the tables, but after seeing Bahra today, he feels that his previous thoughts are a little too simple, Persia, as a great empire that has existed for thousands of years, may not be so easy to perish?
"Master Qiqi, the Persian envoy is gone and returned!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw a subordinate rushing to report.
"Huh?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the report of his subordinates, and then frowned and asked, "Which Persian envoy is it?" ”
"It's the woman!" The next person reported again.
"Sure enough, it's her!" Li Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, he guessed just now that it was Misia who went and returned, and estimated that the other party was probably unwilling, so he ran back and wanted to say something more.
"Let her ......" Li Xiu didn't want to see Misia again, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind again, and said helplessly at the moment, "Forget it, let her in, I want to hear what else she has to say?" ”
The subordinate left, and after a while, he saw Misia and Alda walking in again, but Li Xiu keenly found that Alda was full of anxiety at this time, and seemed to want to dissuade Misia when he came in, but was strongly rejected by Misia.
"Yan Guogong, I hope you can carefully consider my opinion just now!" As soon as Misia entered, she immediately spoke again, and her expression was very serious, as if she was very solemn.
"I have made it very clear that how to decide is your majesty's business, not that I, a courtier, can decide!" When Li Xiu heard Mixia's words, he replied in a stiff tone at the moment, and the expression on his face was also a little unhappy, if it weren't for the sake of acquaintance, he probably wouldn't agree to see them again.
Seeing the change in the expression on Li Xiu's face, Alda became even more anxious, and immediately whispered a few words to Misia, and even wanted to pull her away, but was pushed away by Misia, and then saw her stride forward and speak again: "Yan Guogong, I am not talking to you as a Persian envoy now, but as the sister of the king of Persia and the future queen of Persia, I plead with you, I hope you can help us Persia!" ”
"Hehe, sister of the king of Persia? Do you think ......" Li Xiu had already guessed that Mi Ben's background was not simple, and he was not surprised to hear that she was the sister of the king of Persia, and he just wanted to say something, but then he felt a little awkward, and it seemed that something was wrong?
"Sister of the King of Persia, you are still the queen of the King of Persia? Why can't I figure out your relationship a little bit? Li Xiu said to himself with a confused expression at this time, although he had a vague answer in his heart, he was a little emotionally unacceptable, because it was simply too lost.
"Is there anything wrong with me being the only sister of the king of Persia, and naturally my wife in the future?" Mi originally said with a natural face, as if marrying her own brother was a normal thing in her opinion.
"His Royal Highness Yan Guogong, most of our Persian royal family believe in the God of Light, according to our teachings, the royal bloodline cannot be defiled, so most of them are intermarriages within the royal family, which is different from the customs of the Tang Dynasty, please understand Yan Guogong!" At this time, Alda said with an embarrassed face, he not only learned Chinese during this time, but also learned a lot of customs of the Tang Dynasty, so he also knew that the Central Plains region was completely unacceptable for sibling marriage, let alone mother-son, father-daughter marriage.
Li Xiu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, and after a long time, the Persians even paid attention to the marriage of close relatives, maybe the Misia in front of him was probably the product of a close marriage, which was really unacceptable.
