Chu State.
Shouchun.
With the high-pitched voice of the eunuch, he shouted loudly: "The envoy of the State of Qi is here to see you!"
Yan Ying was wearing court clothes, walking steadily and leisurely into the hall.
ahead,
Chu Yuyi, the empress of Chu State, sits high on the dragon chair, looking graceful and noble.
Wearing a phoenix crown and a red and black dragon robe.
Although she is a woman,
But the look in his eyes gave people a majesty that dominated the world. Coupled with the exquisite and beautiful face, it was enough to overwhelm all the beauty in the world.
"The envoy of the State of Qi, Yan Ying, pays homage to His Majesty the State of Chu."
Come to the front of the hall,
Yan Ying bowed slightly, his voice neither humble nor arrogant.
It not only gave the Chu State enough face, but also did not lose the majesty of the Qi State.
Chu Yuyi looked calm and said in a calm voice: "I don't know why the envoy from Qi State visited Chu State?"
Yan Ying smiled slightly and said, "I came here this time not for anything else but to save the Chu Kingdom."
Save Chu?
As soon as he finished speaking,
The civil and military officials on both sides of the hall were stunned, and some of the grumpy people even stared angrily.
Although Da Chu does not have the strength to swallow up the world and sweep across the world in its heyday, it has not fallen to the point where it needs help from other countries.
Even Chu Yuyi's pretty face, as cold as ice, flashed a hint of displeasure.
At this time,
Sun Shuao took a step forward, looked directly at Yan Ying, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Chu State has experienced a new defeat, it is still rich from all over the world, with a population of millions and fertile land thousands of miles away. I don't know where the rescue of Chu that the gentleman mentioned can come from. Speaking of?"
Yan Ying still had a smile on his face and said in a calm tone: "Since the reform of Shang Yang, the Qin State has fought for six generations in more than a hundred years. Now it has the power to devour the world, and it has already revealed its fangs and ambitions. I don’t know if all of you here are unwilling to admit it, or are you just taking a chance, thinking that you can avoid Qin’s troops by hiding in Shouchun?”
On the dragon chair,
Chu Yuyi couldn't help but clenched her delicate hands on the armrest.
In fact, it’s not just her,
The entire court of Chu State was worried about a problem during this period.
That is,
When will Qin continue its attack?
after all,
No one simply thinks that the Qin State will stop here.
Even if the Queen Mother of Qin is from Chu,
It is impossible to stop Qin's military front.
Chu Yuyi said coldly: "So, why did you come here this time?"
Yan Ying responded: "Of course I have to save Chu."
"Your Majesty has specially sent me to invite the State of Chu to become an ally with the State of Qi. By then, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Wei will be in full force to resist Qin's eastward advance."
Chu Yuyi's frown relaxed just now.
The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and a hint of joy flashed across her iceberg-like pretty face.
At this time,
Sun Shuao asked: "If Chu and Qi can become allies, everyone will be happy, and there will be no need to worry about Qin's military peak from now on."
"I just don't know if there are any other conditions for this alliance?"
In the end, he is very scheming.
Nothing is free in this world.
After all, it had been some time since the Chu State had moved its capital, and the Qi State had only now sent people to form an alliance. There were no other ideas in the process, and Sun Shuao would never believe it.
after all,
Judging from the current world situation,
It is true that the Qin State has the ambition to swallow up the world, but your Qi State does not seem to be a good thing.
Just when Qin and Chu were fighting,
Qi State also used all its troops to attack Zhao State.
Annexed half of the country of Zhao.
And before that,
It even annexed Yan, Wu, Yue, and many other small countries.
It can be said,
Even a blind or deaf person can see Qi's ambition from Qi's actions.
The only difference from Qin is that
Qin is a powerful country with reforms.
Moreover, since the beginning of the Reform, the Qin State has had successive Mingjuns.
Even Emperor Wu of Qin, who reigned for the shortest time, expanded his territory and made great achievements during his three years in power.
It was just because he lifted the cauldron that he lifted himself to death.
As for the state of Qi,
Getting stronger seems very abrupt.
Or rather suddenly,
It was so sudden that it caught people off guard.
After all, just five years ago, it was still a small and low-ranking country that was stepped on by the Yan State.
It was not until Han Lin ascended the throne that Qi gradually developed and grew.
But it is different from the wise, mighty, talented and strategic emperors of the Qin Dynasty.
The emperor of Qi seemed...very different.
In fact, regarding the rise of Qi,
Many countries have taken notice.
But,
There's one thing they still can't figure out,
This problem has actually troubled Ye Qingqiu for a long time.
That is,
As a foolish king who never paid attention to government affairs, indulged in beauty and enjoyed all kinds of pleasures every day, how could Han Lin bring Qi to its current scale?
This is outrageous.
Even if I scratch my head, I still can't figure it out.
The kings of some small countries even asked their souls, why?
I work hard and work hard, not daring to slack off even a little bit every day. I just want my country to survive a little longer in this turbulent and chaotic world, or have a little bit of the ability to protect itself.
But even with such a small request, I don’t know how many emperors have been unable to fulfill it despite their hard work.
Finally, we arrived at Han Lin's place.
Eat, drink and have fun every day, be arrogant and licentious, and live in debauchery.
Then......
Qi has now become a first-class powerful country second only to Qin.
Looking at the world,
With the successive defeats of Chu and Zhao.
It seems that only Qin and Qi exist on the same echelon.
.......
Faced with Sun Shuao’s problem,
Yan Ying smiled faintly, raised his head and looked directly at the Empress of Chu, "Actually, Qi has only one request, and it only requires a nod from His Majesty Chu."
Chu Yuyi frowned slightly, and for some reason, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
But she still asked: "What conditions?"
Yan Ying said loudly: "His Majesty, the Emperor of Da Qi, is willing to use the world as a betrothal to marry His Majesty the Chu State. At that time, His Majesty the Chu State will become the Queen of Da Qi. From now on, Qi and Chu will be as close as one family!"
Chu Yuyi: "!!!"
All the civil and military officials of Chu State: "!!!"
The words fell,
Everyone present, except Yan Ying,
Everyone looked at Yan Ying with disbelief.
Some people's mouths twitched wildly, their scalps felt numb, and their eyes were full of horror.
As for Chu Yuyi himself,
I even suspected that there was something wrong with my ears.
His eyes were equally unbelievable,
My brain even stopped functioning, as if it was down.
At this moment,
In the entire hall, it was as if time had stood still.
Everyone stood there blankly, their expressions frozen, and the silence was terrifying.
