The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1072: 167th: Covenant
Chapter 1072: Covenant
“What does the Ninth Prince of Dayan mean?” Li Tianfu clenched his teeth.
Xiao Rongyan said slowly, “The identity of Princess Xiliang is unknown. If the Queen of Xiliang proves in the future that… it was Princess Xiliang who usurped the throne, then our Great Yan and Great Zhou… wouldn’t they become Princess Xiliang’s reliance in vain! Therefore… Xiliang cannot be included in the alliance today.”
After saying that, Murong Yan lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down next to Murong Li.
Murong Yan spoke with reason, gentleness and composure.
Li Tianfu’s face was twisted with anger, and he stood up suddenly: “Why… Da Zhou and Yan Kingdom want to rely on their strong national strength to interfere in the politics of Xiliang?!”
“Your Majesty, Emperor Yan…” Liu Rushi stood up and bowed to his own Majesty and the Emperor of Great Yan, then looked at Li Tianfu and said, “Since Princess Xiliang said that she doesn’t want other countries to interfere in your Xiliang affairs, then don’t bring your Xiliang affairs… to the alliance tent of the various countries!”
“Princess Xiliang came here alone, claiming to be attending the meeting as the Empress of Xiliang, but the other nations don’t know when you ascended the throne. You don’t have the King Yan who is responsible for foreign relations by your side, nor the Xiliang Auxiliary General Yun Poxing by your side. Could it be that Princess Xiliang can transform herself into the Empress of Xiliang just by talking? If Princess Xiliang is really the Empress of Xiliang… then the politics of Xiliang are too much of a joke!”
Liu Rushi bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “Your Majesty, I have a humble opinion. During this alliance between the four countries, our Great Zhou must not form an alliance with Xiliang. Xiliang treats state affairs as a joke, so the alliance will certainly be a joke as well. Our Great Zhou cannot believe it.”
Li Tianfu clenched her fists and hated Liu Rushi more and more. When she first saw Liu Rushi, she wanted to tear Liu Rushi’s mouth apart.
Bai Qingyan raised the corners of his lips and looked in the direction of Murong Yan and Murong Li: “What do Emperor Yan and Ninth Prince think?”
Sar Khan sat down at the table next to Li Tianfu, turned his head and glanced at the disciple of the Tianfeng Kingdom who was kneeling behind him. The disciple nodded and looked in the direction of Murong Li…
Murong Li looked up at his uncle, acting like an ignorant young boy who completely relied on his uncle for everything. Ninth Prince Murong Yan nodded: “This lord is right, but since we are here, we can’t come here in vain…”
Murong Yan raised his hand, and the old eunuch Feng Yao, who had been following Murong Li, hurriedly bowed his waist, respectfully held the peace agreement in his hand, and walked to Bai Qingyan’s desk in small steps, and handed the peace agreement to Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong took the alliance letter, nodded, and returned to Bai Qingyan’s desk, handing the alliance letter to Bai Qingyan…
Liu Rushi and the others had already read the contents of the alliance letter, and they were only here to go through the motions.
Bai Qingyan took a quick look and ordered Wei Zhong: “Show the treaty to Shen Sikong, Lord Liu, and Lord Shen.”
Wei Zhong immediately handed the alliance letter to Shen Jingzhong and others for them to circulate and read.
“The content of the alliance is the same as what was discussed before. After the two countries form an alliance, they will become one… If someone attacks either the Great Zhou or the Great Yan, the other country will have to fight and help with all its strength.” The Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Great Yan said.
After Great Zhou and Yan State seemed to have excluded Xiliang, they had no intention of signing the alliance with Tianfeng State.
Sar Khan raised the corners of his lips and his eyes were cold. How could he not see that Great Zhou and Great Yan were going to completely exclude Tianfeng Kingdom and Xiliang.
He went to so much effort and created such a grand scene. Could it be that it was just to provide an occasion for Yan State and Zhou to sign an alliance?
There was nothing to gain, could it be that the Tianfeng Kingdom had nothing better to do? !
Sar Khan looked at Li Tianfu and motioned for him to sit down.
Li Tianfu then sat down reluctantly.
Sar Khan’s lips curled up into a smile: “Today is the alliance of the four countries. The treaty should be signed by the four countries together. Although Tianfeng is not big, its elephant army is fierce, and it intends to form a permanent alliance with Dazhou, Yan, and Xiliang.”
Sar Khan raised his hand to the guards standing behind him. The guards behind him placed three copies of the covenant in front of Li Tianfu, Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan respectively: “I also have a copy of the Four-Nation Covenant here. I hope that Emperor Zhou, Emperor Yan and the Ninth Prince can take a look at it. We can discuss what is appropriate and what is not. Please…”
Sar Khan, who was looking at Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan with a smile, made a gesture of invitation, but did not see Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan open the letter of alliance.
“Whether we read this treaty or not, we can’t sign it. So… let’s not waste your Majesty’s time.” Liu Rushi lifted his official uniform and stood up. He handed the Great Yan treaty in his hand to Bai Qingyan’s desk and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, the Great Yan treaty… Shen Sikong has discussed it with us, and we can sign it.”
Seeing that Liu Rushi did not take the king of Tianfeng Kingdom seriously at all, the soldiers of Tianfeng Kingdom were already furious. They gnashed their teeth and wished they could tear Liu Rushi to pieces alive, but Liu Rushi seemed to be blind to it.
“Our Great Zhou has always been in alliance with the Kingdom of Yan. Before my husband passed away, what he most hoped to see was an alliance between the two countries…” Bai Qingyan turned to look at Shen Jingzhong, “Shen Sikong, please sign and stamp…”
“Yes!” Shen Jingzhong respectfully took the treaty and stamped and signed it as Bai Qingyan instructed.
As expected, Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom were completely excluded. Sar Khan suppressed the murderous aura in his eyes and said, “Wait!”
Murong Yan raised his eyes and looked at Sar Khan, looking at him with a gloomy gaze under the mask: “Could it be that the king of Tianfeng Kingdom wants to interfere in the national affairs of our two countries?”
“I dare not! But this is a four-nation alliance. How can it be that only Great Zhou and Yan sign the treaty?” Sar Khan smiled and looked up at Bai Qingyan, “Emperor Zhou… is unwilling to sign an alliance with Xiliang. Could it be that he once made a three-year agreement with Xiliang’s auxiliary general Yun Poxing, and the three-year period is about to expire, and Emperor Zhou still wants revenge?”
Without waiting for Bai Qingyan to answer, Sar Khan continued: “This meeting is to help the nations resolve their hatred and seek peace together…”
“If I remember correctly, the territory of Tianfeng Kingdom does not border Dazhou and Yan Kingdom, and is even separated from Xiliang by the majestic Baishen Snow Mountain…”
Hearing the words “worship the snow mountain”, the other soldiers of Tianfeng Kingdom, including Sar Khan, bowed their heads in a respectful manner, and their gesture was more pious than that of the people of Xiliang.
Murong Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Qingyan. Seeing Bai Qingyan nod at him, he continued, “If it weren’t for a merchant named Cui Fengnian from the Great Zhou who arrived in Tianfeng Country, Tianfeng Country wouldn’t even know about this side of the snow mountain… and the existence of Dayan, Great Zhou, and Xiliang. Since the territory is not on this side of the snow mountain, I wonder if Tianfeng Country has a strong sense of crisis, or has other purposes, to sign an alliance with Great Zhou and Dayan?”
