The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 1065: Groping
“I understand, Uncle Jiu. If I want to meet Aunt Jiu… at least on the surface, I should meet her as the emperor of the two countries, instead of going there rashly. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives finds out, they might make a big fuss about it.”
“Especially…” Murong Li tightened his fist on his knees, “This time, I should be an emperor controlled by the regent. The regent controls the government with one hand, so there is no way he will take me to see the emperor of the Great Zhou.”
Murong Yan nodded, he raised his hand and touched Murong Li’s head: “Don’t worry, this time… you will definitely meet your ninth aunt.”
Murong Li nodded. He was just being childish.
“Uncle Jiu, are you going?” Murong Li looked up at his Uncle Jiu.
“Of course I will go.” He nodded slightly to Murong Li, “Great Zhou and Yan have always intended to form an alliance. The last time I sent an envoy to the capital of Yan, I made it very clear. I am the regent who controls the Yan court. Naturally, I have to meet with the Queen of Great Zhou before the four-nation alliance begins. I will take this opportunity to explain the alliance in detail and let Tianfeng and Xiliang know that Great Zhou and Yan are one.”
Just as Murong Yan said, when the Ninth Prince of Dayan led a group of people to Pingyang City, the news reached the tent of the Emperor of Tianfeng Kingdom in less than two hours.
In the tent, the red-hot brazier made a “pop” sound of sparks exploding. Li Tianfu, the new emperor of Xiliang who replaced Li Tianjiao, knelt beside the small table, tightly holding the cup in his hand.
“I don’t care whether Dayan and Daye have united or not. You imprisoned my sister and released me… When I replaced my sister as the new emperor of Xiliang, I had already made it clear that Xiliang could listen to you, but you must help me destroy Daye Zhou, otherwise… don’t expect me to listen to you again!” Li Tianfu stood up and walked out of the tent without looking back.
“This Xiliang Emperor!” The general of Tianfeng Kingdom slammed the table and stood up, “I’m going to capture her!”
The monarch of Tianfeng State, who was sitting on a chair covered with white tiger skin, stared at Li Tianfu’s back as he left in anger with a cold gaze. He rubbed the jade cicada in his hand, waved his hand to signal his general to sit down, and then lazily leaned back on the tiger skin chair: “This woman is only after a moment of pleasure, while we are after the future. Our goals are different. Why bother with her? As long as she listens to us, that’s enough.”
After hearing what their monarch said, the generals of Tianfeng Kingdom finally swallowed their anger.
“If we want to plan for the future, first… we must let our Tianfeng Kingdom gain a firm foothold in this place. We have no land here, and we have to face big countries like Da Zhou and Yan whose foundations are still unknown. We can only nibble away at them step by step.” said the eldest disciple of the Great Witch.
“Our ancestors of Tianfeng Nation have always relied on war to support war. As time goes by, they have acquired land and slaves. Kill those who are disobedient and keep the obedient ones to serve. Our Tianfeng Nation will still be strong. Why make so much trouble?”
The general of Tianfeng Kingdom became more and more angry as he spoke.
“Now we have to buy food from these lowly people at a high price! Not only are we getting less and less, but the price is also getting higher and higher! Why don’t we let our elephant army trample these lowly people to death and take away their food!” A general of the Tianfeng Kingdom said indignantly, “We Tianfeng people are strong! How can we bow to the lowly people?”
Thinking of the faces of the merchants from Zhou and Yan these days, they wished they could kill these bastards right now.
“It is indeed fast to support war by fighting. I know this is the fastest way! But the master chosen by the gods for this land is still alive. Do you want to disobey the gods?” Another general looked at the mumbling general.
When everyone in the big tent heard the word “God”, they all acted respectful.
After a while, the king of Tianfeng said, “Recently, control your subordinates and don’t cause trouble during the alliance!”
As he spoke, the monarch of Tianfeng looked at the disciple of the Great Witch and said, “Tomorrow, I’ll trouble you to go to Yan State and Da Zhou in person and ask the Emperor of Da Zhou and the Regent of Da Yan… Since they don’t want Tianfeng State to set the time and place for the alliance, let’s see if they have already discussed the place and time when they met today and finalize this matter as soon as possible.”
For the Tianfeng Kingdom, this piece of land is simply fertile land given by God. If you want to cultivate the land, you have the land to cultivate it. If you want people, you have the people! As long as the master chosen by the gods dies, they can kill those who are disobedient and make the people on this land afraid, so that they can rule this land well.
However, what is even more troubling for the monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom is whether killing the master chosen by the gods for this land will also bring punishment from the gods.
Now the Great Wizard has been punished and fallen, and his disciples are too young to listen to the oracle. Trouble!

At night, Bai Qingyan was leaning on the couch reading a book when he heard Shen Qingzhu report that many people who had packed up their belongings and planned to leave Pingyang City to seek temporary refuge had settled down. Before, there was no smoke from cooking in every household because the people had prepared dry food and were ready to escape at any time. But today, when Bai Qingyan arrived, the people breathed a sigh of relief and started to make fires and cook. Smoke was also rising above Pingyang City.
Bai Qingyan put down the bamboo slips in his hand, pinched his brows, and picked them up again to continue reading: “That’s good…”
“Miss, don’t look at it…” Shen Qingzhu felt sorry for Bai Qingyan and frowned as she said, “Miss, you are in a bad condition now. You have been traveling a long way. You need to rest more now.”
Bai Qingyan was amused by Shen Qingzhu. He looked up at Shen Qingzhu who was frowning and said, “It’s not easy. Our Qingzhu, who is usually quiet, was infected by Chuntao… and became so talkative?”
Although he said so, Bai Qingyan still put down the bamboo slips in his hand as he was told.
These books left behind by Queen Ji… left behind more than one philosophy of governing the country, but there was no framework. Even Bai Qingyan, who was well-versed in history, could not find a country in history that governed the country with such a philosophy.
For example, the constitutional monarchy recorded in the books of Empress Ji only means the word “constitutional”… It is to establish the outline of national laws. While retaining the imperial power, the constitution protects the rights and interests of the people and limits the power of the monarch. The actual supreme leader of the country is the prime minister, and the emperor becomes a ceremonial existence. In this way, there will be no situation where a mediocre ruler ruins the country.
Queen Ji also said in her book that there is another way to govern a country, a republic… The supreme leader of a republic is elected, and the republic is divided into a parliamentary republic and a presidential republic.
Bai Qingyan had been reading these paragraphs for a long time, and seemed to be stuck in some kind of bottleneck. She recognized every word, but was confused when they were put together. She could roughly guess a little bit of the meaning, but she could not understand it completely. Empress Ji’s book did not record how to implement it in detail, so Bai Qingyan had to grope among the lines of words.
First update, tomorrow will be the last day for updates… Please keep voting for me!
