Chapter 59: The Empress's Choice
Ice Country, Queen's Castle, Van Serl Palace, Golden Hall.
The resplendent Golden Hall, with a history of thousands of years, is definitely the most gorgeous place in the entire Ice Proud Country. But at the moment, the atmosphere here is so oppressive that people can't breathe! The Muse Empress's face was a little pale, and her breathing was even a little rapid. Raising the letterhead in her hand, the Muse Empress said in a calm tone as much as possible: "This is a letter from Emperor Longwu of Daqian, I think the content of this letter may decide the fate of our Bingao Kingdom!" The Empress spread out the letterhead and read the contents of the letter: "Your Majesty the Empress of the Ice Proud Country, Sauron is here, intending to attack your country on both sides with me, and her lord Bill the Great says that after the matter is completed, he will equally share the territory of your country with me!" I thought about it again and again, remembering that your country has been a good neighbor and friendly with me for a long time, and I am unwilling to break my promise, so I wrote a letter to inform the Empress of this! Although the empress is a woman, she is a talented woman who does not let her eyebrows, and she hopes to cherish it in this eventful autumn of the family and country! On the eighth day of the first month of the fifth year of the Great Qianlongwu, Li Yunqing respected! ”
As soon as the letter was finished, the Marquis Paul shouted hysterically: "Shameless Emperor, shameless Oriental, Your Majesty, he is clearly threatening you!" His intentions are very obvious, if you don't want him to send troops, we Bing Ao Kingdom will have to pay a great price! Oh, oh, I have never seen such a shameless person, how can such a person be an emperor! ”
Duke Charles was also frowning at this moment, he would never have thought that in order to win this war, Emperor Bill would actually get in touch with the Great Qian Empire, which they had never been in contact with, and also made such a bold request. Importantly, this is a very tempting request, and sadly, the feasibility of this proposal is very high. If the Bing Proud Kingdom is attacked by two huge empires at the same time, there is no chance of victory, and the final outcome can only be divided!
Charles looked at the empress on top of him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although the truth is very cruel, but Marquis Paul is good, although the emperor Daqian expressed it very tactfully, but the fundamental meaning is that if we don't want Daqian to send troops, we must pay the corresponding price, you must respond to this, otherwise it will cause a big trouble!" ”
The Muse Empress sighed and said, "I know the seriousness of this matter, the question is, what exactly does the Great Qian Emperor want to do?" Or, what exactly does he want? ”
Duke Charles smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the letter he wants is actually very clear, the Great Qian Emperor Sauron Empire promised to give him half of the land of the Bingao Kingdom after the matter is completed, that is, we have to pay a similar price so that the Great Qian will not send troops to help the Sauron Empire!" ”
Before the Empress could speak, the Marquis of Paul roared loudly again: "Duke Charles, are you crazy? Nearly half of the land of the Bingao Country, do you mean to give nearly half of the land of the Bingao Country to Daqian?! It's absolutely impossible! The men of the Ice Proud Kingdom are all brave warriors! We are to protect this great kingdom with our own flesh and blood! I, Paul, will never allow anyone to defile this beautiful land! No matter who he is, I won't hold back in the slightest! ”
Facing the angry Paul, Charles showed a sad look on his face, and said softly: "Paul, my child, of course I don't want the land we love to become Bespah's territory, but now the Bingao country has been forced to the edge of the cliff, if we don't make sacrifices, the whole country will be reduced to Berao's territory, and our people will be reduced to Berao's territory!" Charles was a little excited, turned his head to look at the Muse, and said loudly: "Even our queen may be humiliated!" Paul, answer me, would you like to see this happen? I know that you are very brave, and I also know that there is no shortage of brave men in Bing Aoguo, but many times being brave cannot solve all problems, so I hope you can calm down! ”
Paul turned his head sharply to look at the somewhat pale muse, his face changed several times, and finally fell silent. At this moment, the atmosphere in the Golden Hall was even more depressing, and everyone lowered their heads, like frost talking about eggplants. I don't know how long it took, but the somewhat tired voice of the Muse Empress sounded again: "Do we really have to sacrifice nearly half of the land in exchange for our peace?" Isn't there any other way? We can negotiate with the emperor of Daqian! ”
Charles said helplessly: "Your Majesty, all rulers are fanatical about land beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and having a large enough land means that the country has a strong army and inexhaustible wealth, which is the ambition of the ruler!" I think you know very well what kind of ruler Emperor Daqian is, he is only nineteen years old, and he rules a huge country that stretches thousands of miles from east to west! His army was so brave that he had the absolute support of the people! Therefore, his ambition must be very great, do you think he would give up this good opportunity to expand his territory for such a terrible ruler? ”
Seeing that the empress's face turned a little paler, Charles said with some distress: "Maybe things are not so bad, but at least we have to give thirty percent of the land to Emperor Daqian, and promise to share the Sauron Empire with him equally after the matter is completed!" If we do this, I think that instead of helping the Sauron Empire attack us, the Great Qian Emperor is willing to help us deal with the Sauron Empire, and if we can defeat the Sauron Empire, we will not only be compensated for the land we lost, but we will gain more! ”
Hearing Charles's words, Muse's eyes, which had lost their brilliance, changed a little color, and he reluctantly showed a smile and said, "This idea sounds pretty good, but can you be sure that Emperor Daqian will agree to our request?" ”
"I think he will, and this letter in your hand is the best proof of that! I have to, he is a young and promising emperor, he is very smart! Charles's face couldn't help showing a hint of reverence, and then said: "He doesn't know the Sauron Empire, let alone the Bill Great. The best thing to do in the face of an unknown opponent is not to provoke. Compared to the Sauron Empire, Emperor Daqian believed in knowing more about the Ice Proud Country, so he chose to cooperate with the Ice Proud Country, which was a very wise choice! ”
There was a hint of grief on the beautiful face of the Empress of the Muses, and he thought of the handsome young man, whose smile was like a warm sun, which melted the snow and her heart. But he didn't seem to be interested in himself at all, only his own queen, although the queen was indeed very beautiful, but the muse was still very unwilling! Thinking in his heart, Muse said lightly: "Okay, just negotiate with Emperor Daqian according to yours!" ”
Charles nodded and said: "Yes, my Majesty, but if this matter is to be done, you must personally participate in this negotiation, only in this way can you show the sincerity of our Bing Proud Country, and only in this way can the negotiation be successful, are you willing?" My Majesty! ”
"Of course I'm willing to negotiate with Emperor Daqian, it's not a difficult thing!" Muse smiled and said, although it was such a cruel time, but she was still very happy to see the emperor of Daqian and the man she liked!
The look of worry on Charles's face did not subside, he pondered for a moment and then said: "If you agree to participate in the negotiations, then we have to leave for Daqian as soon as possible!" ”
"What?! Are you going to take our noble empress with you again? What do you want to do at such a dangerous time for the empress to go to Daqian?! Duke Charles! Paul's roar nearly knocked the roof of the Golden Hall down.
