Chapter 609: Show Sincerity

"I wonder if His Majesty has anything else to ask? If you know below, you must know everything. ”

After McGee sat down with Shao Xi and Alia, she seemed to hesitate for a moment and looked up at Shao Xi and Alia.

"Actually, I just mentioned that I want to recruit you as a colt, in addition to the fact that I think you are a very good young man, there is another reason."

"Another reason?"

Shao Xi knew that things were not so simple, this old king suddenly proposed to recruit himself as a colt for some reason, and it was impossible just because he felt that he was very suitable for his eyes.

"Alia has already told me that in fact, you are an official in the Jingyuan Empire in the Central Plains, and I have this idea because I want to make the two countries have a marriage relationship by recruiting you as a concubine.

"Over the years, the relationship between my Wuhai Kingdom and your Jingyuan Empire has not been harmonious, and we, as a great power in the Western Regions, do not want to easily submit to the Jingyuan Dynasty, but over the years, the White Night Kingdom bordering your Jingyuan Empire is taking advantage of this and constantly causing trouble for us.

"In recent years, the White Night Kingdom has sent frequent envoys to the Jingyuan Dynasty, and it must have established a certain relationship with your Jingyuan Empire, which is very unfavorable to our Wuhai Kingdom, so recently I have decided to improve the relationship with your Jingyuan Dynasty after consultation with the ministers.

"We urgently need an opportunity to establish contact with the Jingyuan Dynasty, but due to years of tension in the relationship, coupled with the obstruction of the White Night Kingdom, this matter is not as easy as imagined.

"At this time, young man, your appearance gives me hope, your excellence is fully worthy of Alia, and your identity in the Jingyuan Dynasty also happens to be able to help Wuhai Kingdom and the royal family of the Jingyuan Dynasty talk, so I am so presumptuous.

"I don't know if you're willing to do us a favor in Wuhaiguo, young man? As long as you are willing to help, you can mention the conditions, as long as it is owned by our Wuhai country, we are willing to give it with both hands. ”

When Shao Xi heard this, he really didn't expect it.

Let's just say it! There are more outstanding young people in the world, why should they just look at themselves? In the final analysis, this old guy still uses his daughter as a political tool.

How affectionate the royal family has been since ancient times! It turned out that this McGid still had his own political agenda.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am an official in the Jingyuan Dynasty, and Princess Alia will definitely tell you, but I did not tell the princess about any position in the Jingyuan Dynasty.

"Your Majesty decided to marry Princess Alia to me in such a hurry, didn't you think about it, if I was just making a small county order in the Jingyuan Dynasty, Your Majesty's hasty decision not only failed to achieve his own goals, but also took the happiness of the princess, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

McJid laughed when he heard this, and said to Shao Xi very confidently: "Young man, you must think that I used Alia as a bargaining chip to establish contact with the Jingyuan Dynasty, so I proposed the marriage of the two of you, if you think so, then you are really wrong."

"First of all, I do think that you are a very good young man, worthy of my daughter, and secondly, from your extraordinary bearing, I can also see that even if you don't have the talent of a unicorn, you are definitely not a thing in the pool.

"If you can travel to the Western Regions with an official position, just for personal matters and not for Emperor Jingyuan, then you can only be two people.

"Either you are a secret agent of the Jingyuan Dynasty, but if you are this kind of person, you will not be able to confess that you are an official in the Jingyuan Dynasty after knowing Alia's identity?

"Then you are the second kind of person, you have won deep trust in front of the emperor of the Jingyuan Dynasty and are reused by him, so you are so free to leave the Central Plains and travel far away at will, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary officials can do.

"As far as I know, as an official in the Central Plains, unless there is an imperial order to envoy to another country, you will not be allowed to leave the Jingyuan Empire for life."

Shao Xixin said that this matter really couldn't be hidden, and he knew that Alia would definitely tell McJid about her identity.

And this old king is indeed not simple, he can guess his status in front of the emperor of the Jingyuan Dynasty at once, it seems that he has thought it through.

Now think that this McGid is also an old fox, and he marries Alia Xu to himself as an introduction, so as to lead the conversation to his own identity.

In this way, Arria's sudden appearance is not an accident, maybe it is the father and daughter who sang a double reed in front of them.

But even if this is really the case, Shao Xi will not feel any discomfort in his heart, even if the monarch and princess of a country use some means for the future fate of their kingdom, it is not an exaggeration.

Thinking about it from another angle, they actually did it with their own feelings in mind.

If you directly point out your identity, both parties will be embarrassed, and they may not agree to what they want, so it is reasonable to have this concern.

It is a matter of relations between the two countries, and there is really no need to think too much about such small measures.

Now that the other party has told each other frankly, there is no need for him to hide it anymore.

"Since His Majesty the King is so frank, then he might as well say bluntly that in the lower is the Jingyuan Dynasty's 'Jing Chengsi' four-grade supervision history, and he can indeed say a few words in front of the saint.

"However, what Your Majesty said is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and this is not a trivial matter, and it is not something that I can convince the Holy One in a few words, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run.

"Since Your Majesty intends to be friendly with the Jingyuan Dynasty, how does Your Majesty intend to show some sincerity? As His Majesty said, the White Night Kingdom goes to our dynasty every year to pay tribute, and it has indeed established some relations with the dynasty.

"Your country and the White Night Kingdom are now in the same situation, if you want to improve relations with our dynasty, the White Night Kingdom will definitely get in the way, Your Majesty has thought of any way to improve relations with the Jingyuan Dynasty and suppress the White Night Kingdom at the same time?"

What is "Jing Chengsi" and what is the history of supervision and inspection, McJid may not know, but he knows these four products.

In the Jingyuan Dynasty, the four-rank officials were no longer an ordinary official rank, and it could even be said that the four-rank officials were basically a rank that was relatively close to the center of power.

And Shao Xi himself admitted that he could speak in front of the emperor of the Jingyuan Dynasty, which also proved that his previous guess about Shao Xi was accurate.

Although Shao Xi did not directly promise to help McJid, the two questions raised by Shao Xi are already clearly directed, and they are already reminding McJide of the key to dealing with this matter.

Diplomatic relations between countries, to put it bluntly, are the same as between people, and they are all exchanges of interests.

So now that Wuhai wants to establish a friendly relationship with the Jingyuan Dynasty, it has to come up with some benefits, and these benefits must be enough to impress Xiao Changyi and the entire court.

Of course, if you want Shao Xi to speak in front of Xiao Changyi, you also need to be able to impress Shao Xi's interests.

The second is how to deal with the White Night Kingdom in the process of this matter, and even how to take this opportunity to destroy the relationship between the White Night Kingdom and the Jing Yuan Kingdom, so as to suppress the White Night Kingdom.

However, this was only Shao Xi's suggestion to McJid, and he himself didn't want the relationship between Bai Yeguo and Jing Yuanguo to be ruined.

However, this did not affect the ability to exert some pressure on the White Leaf Kingdom by establishing a relationship with the Wuhai Kingdom, so that the Jingyuan Dynasty could squeeze out more benefits from the White Night Kingdom.

Since everyone wants to hug the thigh of the Jingyuan Dynasty now, then you have to take out the family foundation, whether it is Wuhai Country or Baiye Kingdom, it is the same for the Jingyuan Dynasty.

However, in comparison, Shao Xi seems to be more inclined to Wuhai Kingdom, because now that he and the White Night Kingdom have formed a bond because of Sun Poyun's death, he will definitely not let the royal family of the White Night Kingdom have a good time.

Therefore, it is also a rip-off, and he will definitely kill when he knocks on the White Night Kingdom.

Although Shao Xi appeared to be nosy on the surface, in fact, when Shao Xi learned that McJid wanted to improve relations with the Jingyuan Dynasty, he already knew that he had an unexpected joy on this trip.

After all, Wuhai is a big country in the Western Regions, if the relationship between the two countries can be improved because of his trip to the Western Regions, and even become a friendly ally, then the influence of the Jingyuan Dynasty in the Western Regions will be further expanded, so that it can better implement the policy of connecting the countries in the Western Regions.

At the same time, in this process, you can also take the opportunity to promote the reconciliation between Wuhai Kingdom and Jingyuan Dynasty to avenge the killing of Sun Poyun by Bai Yeguo.

When Shao Xi was investigating the murder of the envoys of the White Night Kingdom, he had already discovered that there was a secret connection between the envoys of the White Night Kingdom and Xiao Yuzhi.

This shows that while the White Night Kingdom is ostensibly subservient to the Jingyuan Dynasty, it is also looking for agents within the Jingyuan Dynasty, deliberately creating chaos for the Jingyuan Dynasty.

With such a disobedience, I believe that Xiao Changyi has also noticed it, but it is not good to show it too obviously without absolute evidence, but it can be determined that Xiao Changyi is now dissatisfied with Bai Yeguo.

If the Jingyuan Dynasty and the Wuhai Kingdom were friendly at this time, then the White Night Kingdom between the two countries would feel pressure, and no matter what they thought in the future, they would not dare to make too much trouble.

Because the relationship between them and Wuhai Kingdom is difficult to reconcile for a while, if they offend the Jingyuan Empire again, this small country that is sandwiched between the two big countries will only have to pay for it in the future.

Therefore, if this matter can be promoted this time, it will not only allow the Jingyuan Dynasty to add a vassal country, but also allow the White Night Kingdom, which is adjacent to the western border of Jingyuan, to keep to itself from now on, and dare not think about it again.

When the royal family of the White Night Kingdom felt this pressure, Shao Xi went to knock him on a bamboo pole again, not only to avenge Sun Poyun, but also to seek some benefits for himself, so why not do it?

Shao Xi and McJid each have their own plans, but now the goals of both sides are the same.

McJid also knew very well that if he wanted to make this matter a Wuhai country, he would have to pay a lot of price, not only to give enough benefits to the Jingyuan Empire, but also to treat the young man in front of him badly.

Otherwise, under the obstruction and destruction of the White Night Kingdom, it may be difficult to achieve the desire of the Wuhai Kingdom and the Jingyuan Dynasty to improve relations.

"If the emperor of your country is willing to accept it, my Wuhai country is willing to form a friendly alliance with the Jingyuan Empire, pay tribute every year, and take the Jingyuan Dynasty as a brother's state.

The conditions offered by McJid, Shao Xi felt that he was already very sincere, as a powerful state in the Western Regions, it was very rare for Wuhai to be able to do this.

His sincerity is even better than that of Southern Zhaoguo.

The reason why the two countries also formed a friendly alliance with the Jingyuan Dynasty and offered different conditions was because the Southern Zhao State was a dominant country in the Nanling area and had no competitors.

At the same time, because Nanzhao occupies the advantage of the terrain, it is natural to talk about the conditions with more confidence.

The Wuhai Kingdom is different, over the years, the countries in the Western Regions have been pinched all over the place, and they have all run to hug the thighs of the Jingyuan Empire.

At this time, it depends on whose performance is sincere enough to hug this thigh tighter, so the conditions offered are naturally much richer.

Shao Xi didn't rush to make a statement, just nodded silently.

McJid knew that if Shao Xi's personal benefits were not enough, it would be extremely difficult to do this, and the person in the middle was very crucial.

He came forward to say good things may not necessarily work, but if he says two bad things, it will definitely be able to mess up the matter.

So McJid also said to Shao Xi with a sense of current affairs: "Now that I know that you are a fourth-grade official of the Jingyuan Dynasty, I will call you Lord Shao!"

"I know that this matter is not easy to do, and I am afraid that Lord Shao will have to bother to deal with it after he goes back, and our Wuhai Kingdom will never let you go home empty-handed.

"Lord Shao, you can only open your mouth if you want anything, as long as it is owned by my Wuhai country, I will not be stingy!"

Shao Xi blinked, and smiled faintly at McJid: "I'm not very interested in gold and silver treasures, I don't know if there is anything in His Majesty's hands that can interest me?" The value of the thing itself is not important, it is important that I can see the sincerity of His Majesty. ”

The implication of this sentence is already obvious, Shao Xi is a courtier of the Jingyuan Dynasty, money is important to him, but more important is his status in the court.

If he can promote the Jingyuan Empire and Wuhai Kingdom to form a friendly alliance this time, it will naturally be a great achievement, but Shao Xi made it clear that this is not enough, what he needs is an extra surprise.

Because when he went to the Southern Zhao Kingdom, he knew that Xiao Yuzhi and the other forces in the court intended to collude with the real power faction of Southern Zhao.

Then Wuhai Kingdom is a powerful state in the Western Regions, Shao Xi doesn't believe that no one will fight his idea, so the person who fights his idea will not make any moves.

Now that McJid is so eager to repair relations with the Jingyuan Dynasty, then he can no longer think about stepping on two boats, even if he has not yet boarded the ship, now in order to be able to catch the big ship in front of him, at least the person who once wanted to pull him on the boat must be handed over.

If you want to hug the thigh of the Jingyuan Empire, you must accept the name.

As the king of Wuhai Kingdom, McJid naturally understands what Shao Xi is referring to, and since Shao Xi has expressed his position now, it means that Shao Xi is planning to take over this matter, and of course there can be no more hesitation at this time.

It could be seen that McJid was also a decisive person, so he smiled mysteriously at Shao Xi and said, "I don't know if the thing Lord Shao wants is this one in my hand?" Lord Shao, please wait a while, I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

After saying that, McJid turned around and left the room, leaving only Shao Xi with an indifferent look and Alia with a surprised face.
