The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1052: boldness
Chapter 1052: Courage
Xiao Rongyan slowly told Bai Qingyan what happened that day…
That day, Murong Li knelt down in front of Xiao Rongyan and said to him, “Now that the elder sister of the Bai family has Uncle Jiu’s child, that child… is the blood of the royal family of the Great Zhou and the Great Yan! Uncle Jiu’s flesh and blood! The throne was given to Ah Li by Uncle Jiu, and Ah Li has always been thinking… that one day, the throne will be passed on to Uncle Jiu’s child! But… Ah Li knows that Uncle Jiu is deeply in love with the elder sister of the Bai family, and that the elder sister of the Bai family has difficulty in having children, so… she has been worried for a long time!”
In Murong Li’s opinion, the throne of Great Yan was originally intended to be passed on by his father to his uncle, but his uncle gave the throne to himself… and was willing to be the bad guy to make Great Yan stronger and to make him the emperor of Great Yan. This was the sacrifice that his uncle made for Yan and for him. As a person with a kind heart like Murong Li, he was willing to hand over the powerful Yan in the future to the hands of his uncle’s flesh and blood.
“Ah Li believes that the fact that Sister Bai is pregnant is a revelation from heaven to our two countries. So… as Sister Bai said to Uncle Jiu, if the two countries merge and the world is unified, in the future… it is not impossible for Uncle Jiu and Sister Bai’s bloodline to ascend the throne!”
Although Murong Li is young, his mind is indeed so broad that Xiao Rongyan admits he is inferior to him.
In Murong Li’s opinion, what Bai Qingyan said was indeed right. The Murong family was not born to be emperors. They had seized the throne of Yan from others.
And now their Yan State has the ambition to dominate the world. It is true that they want to establish eternal achievements, but they also want the world to be peaceful and the people to live and work in peace.
Murong Li looked at Xiao Rongyan calmly and said, “If the two countries decide the winner based on whose national policy can make the people rich and strong, and avoid the suffering of the people from war, and unite into one country, this will surely be passed down through the ages for future generations! After all, no emperor has such a broad mind. If Yan State and Great Zhou dare to set a precedent, they will surely be admired by all generations, and the Murong family… will also be remembered by future generations for its courage!”
“Uncle Jiu, this country… has never belonged to one family! Who of us can guarantee that our Murong family will not be replaced by another family in the future?” Murong Li looked at Xiao Rongyan solemnly, and said solemnly, “But if the two countries unite as one country for the prosperity of the people, and rename the country, and the blood of Uncle Jiu and the Queen of the Great Zhou inherit the throne, this country will be supported by the people and will surely last longer! The longer the peaceful days last… the more the people will remember the achievements of the emperors of the two countries in their determination to unite as one country for the people!”
After listening to Murong Li’s words, Xiao Rongyan had a new understanding of his nephew.
Although Murong Li is young, his mind and foresight… are now much better than his.
Perhaps, the word “Dayan” was too heavy on Xiao Rongyan’s shoulders. He always regarded Dayan as his own and cared too much about his own gains and losses.
When Murong Li was young in the palace, he was more influenced by the books left by his mother, Queen Ji. He saw the hardships of the people of Yan State at a young age. Although he was a prince… he also suffered together with the people and saw what price the people of Yan State paid for the survival of their country, because the people believed that the national politics of Yan State could allow them to live a good life!
Murong Li had set an ambition in his heart since he was a child, which was to let the people live a good life.
Seeing that Xiao Rongyan didn’t say anything, Murong Li continued, “And Uncle Jiu, Ah Li also has this confidence. I believe that our Murong family has been a royal family for generations, and our Yan State’s national politics… must be better than the national policies set by the Bai family sister who became the emperor halfway through!”
Murong Li’s eyes were firm: “Therefore, Ah Li is willing to bet with Sister Bai on the outcome!”
If Yan wins, then in the future… wouldn’t it be better if Great Zhou belonged to Great Yan? Murong Li would still give the throne to the descendants of Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine, and the officials of Great Zhou would not have any objections.
Xiao Rongyan looked at Murong Li’s confident look and said to him, “Ah Li, it’s a good thing that you are confident, but… it is precisely because Qing Yan became the emperor halfway that he is more hardworking and attentive than anyone else, and… the Bai family tradition of protecting the people and serving the people has long been deeply rooted in the blood of the Bai family, so… the new policy of the Great Zhou will definitely start from the interests of the people. Do you understand this?”
“I understand, and I also understand the family tradition of the Bai family, and I understand Sister Bai even better…” Murong Li paused, looked up at Xiao Rongyan, and smiled and changed his words, “I understand Aunt Nine’s mind and her heart to protect the people, but… Looking through the history books and the books left by my grandmother, as my grandmother once said, the laws of governing the country left by my grandmother are too advanced for today’s world! They may not be really implemented, at least they cannot be implemented in Yan State!”
“So, if Aunt Nine really implements the new law in the Great Zhou and makes the people of the Great Zhou rich and strong, then merging with the Great Zhou will be a good thing for the people of Yan!” Murong Li said frankly, “A Li is willing to lose, and the people will benefit in the end.”
Ever since talking with Murong Li that day, Xiao Rongyan has been thinking about this matter. He came to Da Zhou today and wanted to discuss this matter in more depth with Bai Qing.
Bai Qingyan underestimated Murong Li. He didn’t expect that although he was born in a royal family, at such a young age… he was willing to stop the war for the people.
She lowered her eyes to look at her belly, and asked Xiao Rongyan, “Did you come here this time to talk to me about this?”
Xiao Rongyan nodded: “Xiao A Li is confident in Dayan’s national politics, and he also cares about the people…”
Another reason was that Murong Li wanted to return the throne to Xiao Rongyan’s child in the future.
“So, I have an idea. Let me tell you about it…” Xiao Rongyan sat down next to Bai Qingyan, holding Bai Qingyan’s hand and kneading it gently.
Bai Qingyan nodded.
“Zhou and Yan… why don’t we set a date to hold a meeting at the border between the two countries? The Queen of Zhou will bring her important officials, and the Emperor of Yan and the Ninth Prince will bring their officials to sign a treaty at the junction of the two countries. Set a term of several years… How can we determine whose government will make the people richer and stronger in a few years!” Xiao Rongyan said seriously.
When Bai Qingyan heard Xiao Rongyan say this, her heart beat rapidly. She really didn’t expect that Murong Yan and Murong Li would really make this decision.
“But will the court officials of Dayan agree? Will the royal family of Dayan agree? Once this matter is raised… the voice of opposition from the Yan court will definitely be huge, and perhaps… it will shake the Yan State! The same goes for Dayan!” Bai Qingyan said.
Initially, Bai Qingyan meant to do this after the two countries were stable, but from what Xiao Rongyan meant… it was to settle this matter as soon as possible.
Xiao Rongyan nodded, indicating that he understood Bai Qingyan’s concerns, and said: “So we need to put on a show! Whether it is Yan State or Da Zhou, it is natural for the emperor to be tempted to conquer another powerful country without bloodshed!”
