Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Wuheya was silent for a moment.

Of course she knew how strange the words she said were.Thrall's army invaded Cold Yin City, and even burned, killed and looted, but for this, his father asked him to propose such a solution to the other party.

The Saar Dynasty has no money?How stupid would you be to believe such a thing.And using cattle and sheep to compensate those families whose families were destroyed because of this attack... This is really too ironic.

"Big Xia didn't want to target your country of Saar. The first emperor allowed Tuva to rule the northern grasslands in order to stabilize the border and the people of the two countries to live and work in peace and contentment. But you have invaded the border several times. Even if I forgive you, my subjects will forgive you." I am afraid that those people who were killed by you will not be able to forgive you."

When she said this, Xia Yuxiao tapped the armrest of her seat lightly.

She was very sure that the other party would not dare to really use force against Xia Guo. Although the reputation of Thrall cavalry spread far and wide, it was only more effective than most of the surrounding small countries. If there was a real fight, Xia Guo was worried. What matters is the cost of the war, not whether it can be won.

Wuheya's breathtaking eyes lingered on Qin Ji for a moment.

This movement was naturally captured by Xia Yuxiao.

She looked at the other party's bold eyes on Qin Ji, and it seemed that this Wuheya still had a good impression of Qin Ji.What did this guy do in Thrall?

Naturally, Qin Ji also noticed it. One thing to say, Qin Ji couldn't stand being swept around by such a graceful woman with provocative eyes.

But if you can't stand it, you have to suffer.This is a formal diplomatic occasion, and the historian is standing next to him.

At that time, the official historian gave him a sentence: "On a certain day, a certain month, and a certain day in a certain year, I went to the main hall with Princess Saar of the Anguo Guild. Wuheya, the princess of Saar, seduced him with her eyes, and Duke Anguo lost his soul and was addicted to beauty..."

Then he would lose face.

Thinking of this, Qin Ji decisively chose to stand up and show his selflessness:

"Your Majesty's words are very true. Our Great Xia is now rich in products. How can we not use those cattle and sheep? The Saar people have repeatedly violated the border, and they have not repented despite repeated warnings. They should be severely punished..."

All of a sudden, Wuheya's eyes became resentful.

I said sister, you don't really mean that we had a little friendship when we were young, and now I can help you talk to your country, right?

Qin Ji let out a sigh of relief, this girl is really a bit reckless, or... She was planning to provoke the relationship between herself and Xia Yuxiao?

Tsk, we don't know, and we dare not ask.

"Since His Majesty and Lord An both think so, please allow us to consider it. At present, I, Saar Kingdom, still hope that the two countries will continue to repair. I will also inform my father about this matter, and let him make a decision."

"That's fine. After all, it's a major issue involving the two countries. How about this? I'll tell you the conditions that our Great Xia wants first. Your Royal Highness can directly inform the King of Tuva and let the King of Tuva make a decision."

After Qin Ji finished speaking, he stood up.

He winked at the old prime minister, who smiled knowingly, then stroked his white beard, and took out a letter that had already been written.

Qin Ji took the letter and handed it into her hands.

Wuheya opened the letter and read it through.

Her gaze became a little ugly.

"Please..." She took a deep breath and calmed herself down, "Please allow me to think about it."

Chapter 43 Dinner

One of the characteristics of Daxia is the diplomatic dinner.

Dinner parties seem to be a regular social event in many countries.The meals are mainly exquisite, but the actual taste is second.

But the dinner in Daxia does not have to focus on socializing. Although there are discussions at the dinner, the food is extremely strict.

The dinner menu tonight is very rich, the most typical ones include deer tendon soup, venison, roast lamb, etc., carefully mixed with mutton and fish stewed dishes and so on.

The banquet for the envoys was different from the real state banquet in Great Xia. The envoys—especially the envoys of Saar Kingdom, were a little lower in status as the vassal state, so they didn't bring out too many dishes.But even so, the level of precision is far beyond people's imagination.

It is precisely because of this that in the human world, being an envoy to the Xia Kingdom for communication is basically equivalent to being a food blogger along the way.After most of the envoys came back, they would specifically mention the delicacies of Daxia.

At this time, Wuheya ushered in such a sumptuous dinner.

However, Wuheya was not in the mood to taste the delicious food in front of her.

Daxia's diplomacy pays attention to discussing the matter as it stands. No matter how dissatisfied with the other party, the etiquette should be done, especially Wuheya. As the princess of Saar Kingdom, Daxia did not treat her as an envoy just because she is an envoy. , but increased the hospitality specifications in accordance with the standards for entertaining members of the national royal family.That's why tonight's dinner is just a little lower than a regular state banquet.

But Wuheya couldn't be happy about the other party's treatment like this.

She saw the document handed over by the prime minister.The conditions written on it are too harsh - the Saar Dynasty must make up the tribute that has been reduced in the past ten years within one year; provide the list of officials of the Great Xia who colluded with the Great Xia court; execute the generals who attacked Hanyin City He and his lieutenants; compensation for the loss of the people in Hanyin City, compensation for the pensions of the soldiers killed in battle in Daxia, and funds for the reconstruction of facilities.

If the first things were acceptable, then the rest was completely unacceptable to her.

The Kalashige area was ceded to the Suolqin tribe, and Daxia guaranteed its ownership of the Kalashige area.Saarland must acknowledge in writing that it relinquishes control of the area.

In order to promote peace between the two countries, the Xia Kingdom is willing to provide a long-term study exchange in the Xia Kingdom for a legitimate son/daughter of King Tuva of Saar. The prince/princess will receive preferential treatment in Daxia to show the friendship between the two countries.

This is almost a cessation of land for the Suolqin tribe!And it is also the treasure land that the Saar Dynasty has always valued the most.Moreover, the prince/princess of the country must be taken as a pledge!

It's nice to say, learning to communicate, giving preferential treatment to princes and princesses... These words are indeed true, but everyone knows that taking the other party's princes and queens to Xia Kingdom, learning and communicating for a long time... To put it bluntly, it is for this purpose. hostage.

This……

In addition, some disputed areas that used to be Saar and Da Xia, Xia Guo also requested that their areas be controlled by Xia Guo.

If it was my idiot brother who saw it, he would draw his sword out of anger and prepare for a fight.

"Ah, Wuheya," the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and Qin Ji walked in with a smile on his face, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"Where is there, Your Excellency An Guogong, it is really an honor to meet you."

Wuheya saluted solemnly.

She looked behind Qin Ji, but found that the door of the banquet hall had been closed, indicating that there was no one else behind Qin Ji.

Looking at her puzzled expression, Qin Ji immediately guessed what she was thinking: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs at night, and it is difficult to get away. Please entrust me to entertain you well."

"I'm sorry, it's rare that His Excellency An Guogong is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to attend the banquet for me."

"Hey, you don't need to be so restrained. What kind of etiquette should you pay attention to? We are not the kind of people who like red tape."

Qin Ji smiled and waved his hands. There were not many people at the dinner party this time. Qin Ji only brought Lingyan, while Wu Heya brought a few followers, but most of them couldn't get in the way—this time Wuheya is mainly responsible for coming to the diplomacy, and most of the other attendants are actually just acting as the atmosphere group.

"By the way, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Qin Ji looked at Wuheya.

After so long, Wuheya is no longer the wild girl who rode on a horse and led him across the grasslands. I don't know if it is because of her exposure to Daxia culture that her current temperament has changed qualitatively.

However, Qin Ji knew that a wolf had always lived in this girl's seemingly gentle and elegant body.

"Yeah, things are different."

Wuheya scooped up the soft and rotten deer tendon that had been stewed and put it in her mouth. The strong aroma spread in her mouth in no time, and the rich taste of the deer tendon made people chew a few more times.

"Your father sent you here this time, and it seems that he has high hopes for you." Qin Ji looked at the other party, facing this friend with whom he was still on good terms, he didn't want to bring up the bad things that happened during the day, so let's chat Personal topics are better.

However, upon hearing this, Wuheya just sneered: "Qin Ji, what if I said that it wasn't my father who was responsible for sending me here?"

"Oh? By the way, I remembered that King Tuva of the Saar Kingdom has been sick since last year and is physically exhausted. It seems that His Majesty the King has handed over the government affairs to his children."

The matter of King Tuva's illness was actually not a private matter.Moreover, King Tuva's illness was not a serious illness, and it did not threaten his life, but it was enough to make it difficult for his body to concentrate on handling political affairs for a long time.

Therefore, it is normal for King Tuva to decide to transfer part of his power to the heir to the throne he has appointed.If I guessed correctly, the king will gradually retreat to the background and hand over his seat to his children.

"My fourth brother, Brother Ban." It seems that Wuheya doesn't like her brother very much. When she mentions her brother, she just continues to eat her food with a blank expression, "He inherits his father The position of the king is quite normal. Among the male heirs of the father, he is basically the most capable. At least the father thinks that my fourth brother looks a bit like him when he was young."

Aha, when King Tuva was young...

Is it considered young to be hammered by Da Xia...

Of course, Qin Ji wouldn't say it directly. It's not good to complain about someone's father in front of them.

"So, your brother sent you over to deal with this matter, which shows that he attaches great importance to you."

"Qin Ji, if you make fun of me, you can use another method," Wuheya said with a bit of resentment in her eyes, "My brother specially sent me here, why don't you know what the hell is going on?"

Chapter 44 Private Meeting

happy.

Qin Ji really knew.

According to the information obtained by Qin Ji, the guy named Ban Ge accepted his father's appointment to supervise the country.

If there are no problems, he will most likely be firmly seated as the king of the Saar Dynasty after the prison.

However, it's not that Qin Ji has never seen this brother before, how can I put it...

The force value of this product is about ten times its ability to govern the country.

Qin Ji is not from Saar, so he doesn't know how well this buddy is currently in power.But at least Brother Ban really has a hand in infighting.

It seems that letting his sister serve as a diplomat...ah no, an envoy, it seems that he thinks highly of his sister.After all, in the thinking of the Saar people, women are not capable of holding official positions at all, and allowing Wuheya to serve as an envoy has overcome a lot of resistance.

But actually?

This time the Saar Dynasty came, and you will definitely not get any benefits. After all, your Saar Dynasty did not win at all, and you must sign a defeat treaty when you come to Xia Kingdom, and whoever goes to this kind of thing will be unlucky--just like the Saar people Reckless, they don't care who started the war, nor who defeated the war, they only care who signed those defeat agreements with Xia Guo in the past.

It can be said that on this trip, she, Wuheya, will be the target of public criticism once she returns.

This time it can be said that the pressure is great, and now she can only try her best to win back a little interest for the country.

"I know the reason, but I'm still very curious," Qin Ji asked with a smile, "Although I know that the Saar people have always looked down on women in their thinking, but in this way, shouldn't your brother be more at ease? Are you right? After all, no matter how you look at it, you don't seem to be able to compete with him for the throne, so he shouldn't put you in his eyes."

"Hehe, this is the kindness of the father."

Wuheya's expression turned cold, she muttered a few Sal words to the followers around her, and those followers retreated obediently.

"this……"

Wuheya looked at Lingyan beside Qin Ji, and hesitated for a moment.

Qin Ji realized something, he lightly patted the shoulder of Lingyan who was sitting next to him: "I'm on my own, don't worry, she won't say what she shouldn't say."

Wuheya paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you the truth—my father is treating me like my brother's sandbag."

"Sandbags?"

"You know, Qin Ji, how chaotic our royal family is. Some of my brothers are flawed and some are healthy, but they don't know how to govern a country. So, my brother is the only one who can I'm probably the one who can be regarded as the opponent. Although I don't have the innate conditions to compete with him... But my father is very happy to use me to operate on my brother."

Oh, I got it.

Qin Ji understood King Tuva's "hard work".

Although the king of Tuva was the ruler of the famous Saar Dynasty, in the final analysis, he still couldn't escape the ideological shackles of the Saar Dynasty.In fact, in terms of ability, Wuheya must be stronger than his brother.But it is impossible for King Tuva to let his daughter inherit the throne.

Since Wuheya could not be inherited and Wuheya had certain abilities, that old guy in Tuva would naturally choose to find a way to suppress Wuheya.

how to say.
