On the royal steps, the Empress Dowager Chu Yan also lost her face, and she stood up from the soft seat in shock, pinched her hands together, and pinched a gold and jade hollow nail set in half.

Facing the mighty emperor like the wrath of the sky, Mi Yan felt like he was facing a terrifying tsunami that connected the heavens and the earth, and the strong sense of suffocation made people tremble from the heart.

She didn't know what was going on, she didn't know why a holy decree could carry such a terrifying coercion, and she didn't know why Emperor Xia's phantom could be revealed.

But she knows one thing, she is the queen mother of Da Chu, the ruler of Da Chu, and the last face of Da Chu!

So, she must not mess up!

Mi Yan pursed her red lips tightly, forced herself to maintain a serious and solemn expression, and stared at the proud figure that dominated the audience.

"Emperor Xia, what do you mean by this?"

Mi Yan gritted his teeth and asked, in fact, he was also tempting.

Because she didn't know if this phantom was a sealed isolated thing, or if it was some kind of Dharma Body manifestation of the Great Xia Emperor, who was able to communicate and feedback everything that happened here in real time.

If it is the former, then she will fight not to lose face and break her promises, and she must also force this matter down so that she can't leak half a word!

Because once this matter spreads, the majesty of the Great Chu Dynasty will be greatly lost, and the superiority of the ceremonial state, which the Great Chu nobles have always been proud of, will also become a big joke!

Think about it, the Emperor of Great Xia just sent a holy decree, and he almost overturned the court hall of Great Chu, and scared the hundred officials of Great Chu to the point that their buttocks were urinating and chaotic, and the little emperor was scared to cry......

Isn't all this going to make the world laugh out of their big teeth?

But if it's the latter, it's extremely tricky.

Because she didn't know if Emperor Xia had any means, this scene survived and spread throughout Tiannan.

At that time, if she denies it to death, she will only lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot, and let herself and the dignity of the entire Great Chu Dynasty be nailed to the pillar of shame!

"You are the Empress Dowager of Great Chu?"

Xia Ao's phantom turned his eyes and glanced at Mi Yan from head to toe, making Mi Yan feel uncomfortable.

Because she felt that those eyes were like a fiery sun, as if they could burn her clothes and look directly at her body.

"Well, he looks really good, and his heart is stable enough."

"As for your question, when we meet for the first time, I should always leave a deeper impression on you, right?"

Hearing Xia Ao's laughter, Mi Yan's pupils shrank, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

Because this sentence has truly proved that this illusory image of the Xia Emperor is not an isolated thing that cannot be communicated, but a certain manifestation of the Dharma Body that can communicate with the Xia Emperor in real time.

"But Empress Dowager Chu can rest assured, as long as Da Chu honestly abides by the gambling contract, I promise that there will not be the slightest rumor leaking from my Daxia side about today's matter!"

"In addition, I appreciate the style of Great Chu and the style of the Empress Dowager Chu. You and I should be neighbors, not enemies. ”

"If Great Chu is interested in making friends with my Great Xia, I can consider giving the output of the Crescent Bay mixed vein to your dynasty for 20%!"

"My heart is clear, I hope the Empress Dowager Chu will consider it carefully."

After speaking, Xia Ao's phantom looked at Mi Yan deeply with an inexplicable smile, and then turned into a point of light and disappeared.

It was only at this time that the vast coercion disappeared completely, and everyone felt that their bodies were light, and the strong sense of suffocation receded.

As far as the eye could see, the temple was almost full of figures slumped on the ground, sweating profusely, gulping for fresh air.

Lai Yongqing was also a little embarrassed, but his eyes were extremely excited.

He never imagined that His Majesty's holy decree would be so miraculous and terrifying!

Experiencing this scene himself is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime!

It's a pity that listening to His Majesty's intentions, he may not have a chance to brag about it......

"Queen Mother!"

A Great Chu courtier suddenly stood up, his expression extremely angry.

Mi Yan raised his hand to interrupt, took a deep breath and slowly sat down, regaining his dignified calm.

"Come on, please ask the Great Xia envoy to rest."

"No!"

When Lai Yongqing and his entourage were taken out of the hall, the hundred officials of Dachu could no longer bear it, and stepped out of the train with red faces.

"Queen Mother! This, this is simply a great shame! ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, look at Your Majesty, he is all injured! We can't bear this breath! ”

"Queen Mother, it's tolerable, it's unbearable! Great Xia used despicable means to insult me like this, and I must settle accounts! ”

"Nope! Everyone, calm down, the top priority is not to settle accounts, but to suppress this matter, block the news, and never let the matter get out! Otherwise, our Great Chu will become the laughing stock of the entire Tiannan! ”

"That's a good point! Queen Mother, please make an order to let all those in the know strictly keep secrets, and at the same time kill the Great Xia envoys to prevent the possibility of news leakage! ”

“……”

For a moment, the hall was filled with indignant and anxious shouts.

"Enough!"

At a certain moment, Mi Yan suddenly screamed, his face sank like water, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Isn't that shameful enough?"

The civil and military officials of Dachu were startled, and hurriedly returned to the train and stood with their heads bowed, but their expressions were still not angry.

"Vain Er is still my great talent in Great Chu, can't you see that everything is under the control of the Great Xia Emperor?"

"Although the mourning family doesn't know what happened to that phantom, the Great Xia Emperor must have used it to preserve the events that happened here into an image."

"The mourning family dares to say, if we kill the Great Xia envoy today and refuse to admit it, what happens here tomorrow will spread throughout Tiannan!"

"At that time, what face will my Da Chu still have in the world?"

After listening to Mi Yan's scolding, the ministers of Great Chu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

In fact, it's not that no one among them has taken this layer into account, it's just that today's ugliness is too big.

Not to mention that the little emperor was scared and cried bitterly, it was them, and some people dropped their black gauze hats and rolled into a ball like turtles......

For such an ugly thing, the first thought is naturally to cover it up.

"But the Queen Mother, although the Great Xia Emperor made a promise, his brain grows on his head, if he wants to repent, we can't stop it at all......"

"He is also an emperor anyway, how can he easily go back on his word?"

Mi Yan said in a deep voice, the expression in his eyes changed.

"He is using this matter to coerce us in disguise, if we don't abide by the gambling contract on the national letter, he will naturally disclose this matter, so that it will be difficult for my people of Dachu to raise their heads again!"

Hearing this, Da Chu Baiguan's expression became even more bitter.

I thought that they would win this bet, but where did they think that it would be such an ending?

After a long while, another long sigh sounded.

"Queen Mother, do we really want to withdraw our troops and give up the Crescent Bay Mixed Vein?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the crowd changed slightly, and their eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

But even if they are unwilling, they seem to be unable to toss this matter anymore.

After a few breaths of silence, an old minister with a gray beard stepped forward.

This person's name is Lian Sansheng, and he is the imperial historian of Dachu.

"Queen Mother, the old minister thinks that the words of the Great Xia Emperor actually have some truth."

"Great Xia is now the most extensive country in Tiannan, and the army under its command is extremely powerful, and it has the strength of the first power in Tiannan."

"If my Da Chu insists on being an enemy of evil, most of them will not be pleased."

"In that case, why don't we reconcile with it, or even form an offensive and defensive alliance?"

Speaking of this, Lian Sansheng paused slightly, seeing that Mi Yan was not angry, and the ministers also showed contemplation, they couldn't help but perk up and continued to speak.

"Queen Mother, in view of the situation of facing the enemy three times before, my Da Chu has not been able to show his strength."

"But now, Dajin has become a vassal of Daxia, if we form an alliance with Daxia, then we can concentrate our forces on attacking David in the south!"

"David, whether it is national strength or military strength, is not as great as me. If I can swallow David, then my Great Chu can stand side by side with Great Xia, and even surpass it! ”

What's more, the Great Xia Emperor also made a promise. If the two dynasties can repair the alliance, Great Xia is willing to give us 20% of the output of the Crescent Bay vein. ”

"We don't need to exert the slightest effort to get such a rich and endless amount of resources for nothing, we have no reason to refuse!"

Hearing this, a military general suddenly stood up with a cold snort.

"It is undeniable that Dr. Lian's words in some aspects do make sense."

"But about the annexation of David, Dr. Lian can't help but take it for granted, right?"

"Why would Great Xia sit back and watch my Great Chu grow? Even if they were willing, they would most likely use the excuse of the alliance to go out and pick peaches halfway. At that time, wouldn't it be a cheap Great Xia for nothing? ”

Lian Sansheng smiled calmly, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he stroked his beard and said confidently: "This is a bad word. ”

"Today's situation is in a period of drastic upheaval, and many things can easily trigger a chain reaction."

"The strength of Great Xia has already aroused the fear of all parties. If my Great Chu and Great Xia form an offensive and defensive alliance again, then the Great Liang, David, Qingqiu, and Yunbo Quartet Dynasty will inevitably form an alliance! ”

"Because they all know that if the four of them are still fighting on their own in such a situation, they will inevitably be broken one by one!"

"After all, Great Xia annexed Dayue and made Dajin a vassal, plus our alliance of Great Chu, it is equivalent to half of the original Eight Kingdoms of Tiannan!"

"And if those four countries form an alliance, Great Xia will face enemies on all sides!"

"In this case, even if Daxia forces Dajin to contain the Yunbo Dynasty alone at all costs, they still need to deal with the two dynasties of Daliang and Qingqiu, where do they have the energy to plot against David?"

"Da Liang used to be a tyrant in Tiannan, and Qingqiu has always been mysterious, neither of these two opponents is a fuel-efficient lamp, which is enough to keep Daxia busy!"

After listening to Lian Sansheng's analysis, the eyes of the hundred officials couldn't help but brighten.

If you think about it, it seems like that's really the case!

The alliance between Great Chu and Great Xia seems to be mutually beneficial on the surface, but in fact, Great Xia has been put together without a trace!

In this way, they can also let out a bad breath......

"No way!"

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the sound and found that it was Chu Lixuan, who was stained with blood in the royal robe and had a pale face, who spoke.

Seeing this, many people's eyes showed different colors.

They knew that the reason why Chu Lixuan wanted to oppose it was not out of the overall situation, but because of personal enmity.

Emperor Daxia had already forcibly seized the woman that King Xiu was obsessed with, and now he used a cold snort to hit King Xiu hard, causing him to lose face.

How can King Xiu swallow this breath easily?

It's just that although they understand, they don't agree with it, and they are also a little unhappy.

In the face of the interests of the entire Great Chu Dynasty, what is this personal grudge of King Xiu? It's not a deep hatred like killing your father.

"The Queen Mother?"

Lian Sansheng could only ask for help and looked at Mi Yan expectantly, the color of the catalog consultation.

Mi Yan glanced at Chu Lixuan, whose face was blue and his eyes were red, and after a long silence, he spoke slowly.

"Regarding the gambling contract, it must be strictly observed, I Da Chu can't lose both the battle and the loser! Spread the decree of mourning and ordered all the front-line troops to retreat, and not to quarrel with the Dajin or Daxia armies. ”

"Besides, no one is allowed to confide even half a word about what is happening today! If not, the three tribes! ”

The ministers were in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed their heads and handed them over.

"Obey the Empress Dowager's decree!"

"As for the matter of forming an alliance with Great Xia, the matter is very high, and this palace needs to consider it carefully, and it cannot be decided rashly."

Hearing this, Chu Lixuan's face softened slightly, and his eyes looking at Mi Yan softened a little.

Although the officials were a little disappointed, they could only comply.
