Chapter 226: The Wind Comes from the Southeast Coast
Seeing the prince and envoy of the Baizhi Kingdom coming in, Emperor Xuande sat up a little straighter.
In front of outsiders, he has always maintained the demeanor of a monarch, even better than ordinary monarchs.
Because he is always afraid that what he has done is not good enough, after all, he has not been raised to be the successor of the empire since he was a child.
What he could have taken over was just the identity of a clan and a few silk shops.
Unexpectedly, my father's illness consumed the last few shops in the family, and only some unsellable silk was left, piled up in the wings.
At that time, he didn't think about what kind of monarch he needed to be, what kind of emperor he needed, what demeanor he needed, and what manners he needed.
However, the pride from his bones and blood makes him unable to lower his head, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you are still struggling, that thing cannot overwhelm you.
Today, the same is true.
To outsiders, he seems to be on top of the ladder, disdainful of the small countries on the border.
However, if a war starts in the south, even if it is just a gesture of starting a war, it needs to be supported by a strong variety of rear hands.
After the flood in Hongqing in the second year, all parts of the country are still recovering, and in the past three years, it has only just recovered to the way it was before the flood, and the state treasury has just had a little bit of a foundation.
At this point, a small decision can disrupt all previous arrangements.
Heng Ying made herself the co-ruler of Borneo, and she allowed herself to continue to be a bystander to Bai Zhiguo, rather than by using force.
Heng Ying repeatedly said that the real hidden danger is in the Wuyan Kingdom, no matter how deferential and peace-loving the lord of the Wuyan Kingdom is, as long as the time comes, they will become evil wolves, become border troubles, and become the biggest enemies of the Hongyin Dynasty.
Before, he always didn't understand, he wanted to argue with her, but as time passed, he understood her heart more and more.
But after understanding, the two became more and more estranged.
It's better that he doesn't understand, don't want these calculations, as long as the two of them sincerely promise, it's enough.
Why do you want more? Why do you want more when you sit in this position?
He felt that there would probably never be an answer to this question, and there was no way to turn back his life after being disciplined by power.
Emperor Xuande saw the prince of Bai Zhiguo, solemnly wearing the official court clothes worn by the audience, with three layers inside and three layers outside.
However, the face of the prince of Bai Zhi was very deferential, and he couldn't see any resentment.
I saw that he bowed empty-handed according to the etiquette of the envoy, and had no intention of asking for a chief.
At this time, this kind of small country still plays this spirit, which is a little interesting.
He thought that the prince of Bai Zhiguo would prostrate at his feet, weeping bitterly, begging him with a handful of snot and tears to save his mother country, to save his father.
But no, not only did the prince of Bai Zhi look calm and abnormal, but also the envoy Duyou, who had been in Haojing for a few years and had quietly converted to the god of fire, also looked indifferent.
It is as if, whatever awaits them, they will think that it is a rain and must bear it, and they themselves cannot do anything at all.
Therefore, they have also accepted this fate.
Looking at the sad appearance of the two people, Emperor Xuande's heart felt a little unbearable.
If you continue to watch from the wall, let these two people down.
Tonight, they were afraid that they would hug each other and cry again in the inn.
Emperor Xuande looked at those two people, and infinite sympathy welled up in his heart. Niuniu Chinese Network
"Your Majesty the Emperor, on behalf of the subjects of the Bai Zhi Kingdom, I request that the Hongyin Dynasty send troops to help us clear the rebellion.
There is also the Hujing Kingdom that took advantage of the great chaos in our country to invade our royal city, which was treacherous and disgraceful, so please ask the king to cut it off together. ”
The prince of Bai Zhiguo finally showed a look of resentment on his face, but that anger was obviously directed at the Hujing Kingdom.
This kind of ingenious rhetoric, this kind of expression in place, this is just right to match together, making Emperor Xuande feel that if the prince of Bai Zhi Kingdom is to beg for a living, I am afraid that he is also a good hand.
Seeing that Emperor Xuande didn't speak, just looked at them silently, a trace of panic began to appear in the eyes of the prince of Bai Zhiguo, he didn't think that if the other party didn't agree or refuse this state.
Perhaps, they need more reasons, they need more opportune timing.
Du You walked out slowly, he bowed down in the middle of the main hall, and saw more of the other courtiers, and he also learned seven or eight points.
"His Majesty the Emperor, please listen to a few heartfelt words from the minister."
Emperor Xuande nodded, still not speaking, all he could do now was listen.
Although I have already made a decision in my heart, it is also a pleasure to watch their performance.
Otherwise, what is the point of being this high emperor, on the top of this lonely ten thousand people?
Emperor Xuande suddenly had the idea of teasing them, "What you have to say, I understand, I just want to know, how many troops do you still have in your country?"
Do you want the people of our Hongyin Dynasty to help you pacify the thieves and help you appease the wolf smoke in vain? ”
Du You was angry for a while, but Emperor Xuande's words didn't seem to be wrong.
If there is no combat power in the country, the Hongyin Dynasty has gone far away, and there is not even a person to answer, how to fight, there is indeed no chance of winning.
The prince of Bai Zhi responded and said, "Your Majesty, the military strength of our Bai Zhi Kingdom has been weakened, but there are still 10,000 troops guarding the lighthouse on Seba Island.
This is our country's last secret in Borneo, but if you are willing to save our Angelica Kingdom from hanging upside down, we are willing to offer a lighthouse. ”
Du You tugged at the sleeve of the third prince, "Third prince, how can you easily agree to this?"
The secret of the lighthouse on Seba Island cannot be told to outsiders, otherwise how will we build a country in the future?
We, Bai Zhiguo, have never won by force. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Xuande snickered in his heart, it's all this time, and he is still holding on to the treasure of his ancestors.
The third prince waved his sleeves vigorously, "Duyou, how can you be so pedantic."
When is this coming, we are going to lose our country and plant, and what do we want that Rausch lighthouse to do? ”
Du You was in a hurry for a while, regardless of the fact that this was above the main hall, he was about to step forward and cover the mouth of the third prince.
"Third Prince, why did you start talking nonsense?"
Saying that, he hurriedly said goodbye to Emperor Xuande, and was about to pull the third prince away.
"Why, before you finished speaking, you left in such a hurry?
So this rescuer, do you still borrow it? ”
The third prince struggled and said, "Borrow, of course you have to borrow."
I am the third prince of Bai Zhiguo, listen to me. ”
Du You hurriedly covered his mouth again, "Your Majesty, the minister is the envoy of Bai Zhi Kingdom." ”
