Chapter 0203: The Game of Nations

The strength between the three countries, at present, the grassland tribes and the Great Xia Empire are indistinguishable, but the combat effectiveness of the grassland tribes is stronger, but the economic strength of Great Xia is the strongest, and the Ximu Empire can be said to be the most subordinate existence among the three. [Full text reading]

Now that the Great Xia Empire has decided to go to war with the steppe tribes, the Ximu Empire will definitely come over to wave their flags and cheer, lest Great Xia will destroy their cities when they pass by the border of their country.

In Princess Yinyue's heart, she wished that both sides would lose the battle, so that the Ximu Empire would be able to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, of course, this could not be said to Yu Shaoxi explicitly.

As for the matter of coming to the Great Xia Empire to choose a horse, Princess Yinyue has another layer of consideration.

If the Great Xia Empire had no worries, or even more help from the Ximu Empire, the probability of winning the war would be quite high.

If the Great Xia Empire can successfully defeat the grassland tribes this time, then the strength and territory of the Great Xia Empire will undoubtedly more than double compared to now, and then the Ximu Empire will be in danger, and Princess Yinyue also understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Anyone who knows a little bit of diplomacy knows that contracts or favors are the most unreliable things. After discussing with the mother, Princess Yinyue felt that she still had to find a colt in the Great Xia Empire who could speak in front of Yu Shaoxi.

At that time, if the Great Xia Empire really annexes the grassland tribes and becomes stronger, she can also use the reason of harmony to make the Ximu Empire at least a vassal state of the Great Xia Empire.

And if Great Xia is wiped out by the grassland tribes, he can also take the horse out and treat it as a remnant of the country, and he can bargain in front of the grassland tribes.

Although it is very unkind to say, when it comes to the interests of the empire, a princess like her must not have the right to choose love by herself.

Fortunately, the Ximu Empire is a queen system, and even if there is one more colt that exists for checks and balances, the impact will not be too great.

However, Princess Yinyue also knew in her heart that it would be good for these men in Great Xia not to ask them to have three wives and four concubines, and they also had to share themselves with other men, and it was estimated that this alone could scare off a lot.

But no matter whether he can recruit a colt this time, at least he has shown this sincerity, and Yu Shaoxi must be understandable.

"Princess Yinyue has a heart, originally I also wanted to send someone to the Ximu Empire to talk about the border dispute between Great Xia and Ximu. But now it seems that there is no need for this. Princess Yinyue's sincerity, I feel it, and I recognize it. Yu Shaoxi didn't question where Princess Yinyue knew about her expedition plan. After all, each empire has its own intelligence department, and the things that he wants to go on the expedition have been said in the court himself, so it is not surprising that he is known.

The intelligence department of the Great Xia Empire was run by Zheng Shixiang. A few days before Princess Yinyue decided to visit the Great Xia Empire, Zheng Shixiang's eyeliner had received relevant information and had already reported it to Yu Shaoxi, so Yu Shaoxi had already prepared, and he was not surprised by what Princess Yinyue said.

What's more, Princess Yinyue's advice coincides with his. Originally, there were some small frictions between Great Xia and the Ximu Empire, but in normal times, if Great Xia and the grassland tribes started a war, then this small friction would become like a thorn in the back, and it would be a troublesome thing.

Since the Ximu Empire is willing to preemptively show goodwill, then it is better to go with the flow and agree, as for her to choose a colt, she can choose it! As long as she is not too sensitive.

"That's great, I've been worried about what else Your Majesty will have on the way to Great Xia. Since Your Majesty also has this plan, then I can rest assured. Princess Yinyue smiled and nodded, but suddenly covered her mouth and coughed lightly, and this small action was immediately seen by Yu Shaoxi.

"Princess Yinyue doesn't look good, is there any discomfort? He didn't really care about Princess Yinyue's body, but he didn't want anything to happen to her in his own territory.

After all, the other party is here to visit to show goodwill, if something goes wrong in the Great Xia Empire during the visit, then don't say that good things turn bad, it will be difficult for him to explain to the queen of the Ximu Empire, and it will be troublesome at that time.

Princess Yinyue replied softly: "Your Majesty Xie cares, and it's not a big deal, it's just that the journey to the imperial capital is a little tiring, and it seems that he is infected with the wind and cold." It should be fine to rest for a few days, Your Majesty does not have to worry. ”

That being said, Princess Yinyue still frowned slightly, she always felt weak these days, and occasionally coughed twice, but in order to hurry, she didn't bring the accompanying pharmacist. And she didn't have much confidence in the medical skills of those Jianghu Lang on the road, so she delayed it like this.

"I see. If Princess Yinyue doesn't dislike it, there are a few good imperial doctors in my palace, and I will send them over to diagnose and prescribe a prescription for you! I have a daughter named Hongsheng, who should be as old as you, and when you are completely recovered, I will let her accompany you to have a good time in the imperial capital, which can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord. Yu Shaoxi said very kindly.

If Daxia and Ximu want to coexist peacefully in the future, they need to leave a good impression at this time.

"In that case, then I will thank Your Majesty in advance, and if nothing else, I would like to retire and rest first. Princess Yinyue said a little tiredly, and then stood up with the help of the maid beside her, and saluted Yu Shaoxi.

"Okay, Princess Yinyue, let's have a good rest! Xiao Chunzi! Take Princess Yinyue to the palace that I have arranged, and then go to find Princess Hongyi, and ask her to bring the imperial doctor to diagnose Princess Yinyue. Yu Shaoxi didn't hold back, with a wave of his big hand, the father-in-law of Xiaochunzi, who was standing behind him, immediately trotted to Princess Yinyue, respectfully led the way for them, and took them away from the Jinluan Palace.

After seeing Princess Yinyue walk away, Yu Shaoxi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then looked at the civil and military officials standing under the dragon case.

Although no one intervened when he was talking to Princess Yinyue just now, Yu Shaoxi knew that they all stretched out their ears to listen! Regarding today's matter, Yu Shaoxi also wanted to hear the opinions of these courtiers, so he didn't directly announce his retreat from the court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have been listening to it for so long, what do you think of the suggestion made by Princess Yinyue just now?" Yu Shaoxi put down the teacup, and saw that everyone was bowing their heads thoughtfully, so he had to name Situ Wuji and said, "Situ Aiqing, it's up to you to talk about it first!"
