The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The fifth-rank martial artist state is honored as "Hundred People Slayer", and the cultivation base of this level is no small matter, and the proficiency of skills cannot be competed by a large number of people.

So facing Zhuge Yuanba who was in the fifth rank, the assassin leader looked horrified. But he couldn't help thinking about it, because Zhuge Yuanba's berserk attacks followed one after another.

In addition, there was Wu Zhanfa of the fourth rank, and Wei Guang and Shao Yao of the third rank who shot cold arrows, so this group of assassins did not cause any trouble, and they were chased by four people one by one without even approaching Yan Linglong within ten feet. annihilate.

Originally, Zhuge Yuanba deliberately left the leader of the assassins behind, but seeing that the mission failed, he feared that there would be no chance of escape, so he committed suicide directly.

Yan Linglong watched the corpses of the assassins lined up among the chrysanthemums, the blood splashed on the chrysanthemums, and the little spots of blood reflected the yellow and white chrysanthemums, bloody and glamorous.

Xiao Rui also came out of the pagoda, and first thanked Zhuge Yuanba for his great help.

Zhuge Yuanba smiled and said: "You owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back when you have a chance!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Naturally, Princess Linglong will definitely not be stingy!"

Zhuge Yuanba ignored his little Jiujiu and left here straight away.

Xiao Rui walked to Yan Linglong's side and asked, "See who is the black hand?"

"One is confirmed! The other one is yet to be confirmed!" Yan Linglong said.

"Can I know who it is?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Linglong smiled: "This is a private matter of my Great Yan Kingdom, so I don't need your Highness to worry about it."

Xiao Rui shrugged and said: "Well, anyway, I said that I only provide help and won't ask too many questions. Do you still need me to send someone to escort Her Highness the Princess back?"

Yan Linglong put on the bamboo hat, turned around and left while saying, "No need!"

Looking at the back of her leaving, Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing, what a proud little temper!

"Battle method, go to inform Dongchang, say that you have killed a group of assassins and let them deal with it. A corpse in the Buddhist sect, my Buddha is merciful, my Buddha is merciful." Xiao Rui said with emotion.

Wu Zhanfa went to Tongchuan immediately.

Xiao Rui returned to the mansion and sent people to the other courtyard to inquire about the situation. Yan Linglong did not do anything after returning, everything was normal. Even when Baiyun Mountain returned, it was still very peaceful.

It seemed that Yan Linglong had no intention of doing anything against the underworld.

"Sir, it seems that I underestimated this Linglong princess!" Xiao Rui said.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "It seems that not only will she not kill the mastermind behind the scenes, but she is also ready to use it. This is the resourcefulness and magnanimity that should be possessed in doing great things. This woman is indeed not simple."

Xiao Rui agreed: "It is naturally Crown Prince Yan who wants to kill Yan Linglong. I heard that this Crown Prince Yan is fatuous, doesn't like government affairs, but has a ruthless mind. Such a person is not suitable to be a crown prince, but he is suitable to be a steward similar to Dongchang. Haha, if Yan Linglong becomes the emperor, it will be a good thing for Dayan."

"What about Da Xia?" Jia Xu asked.

Xiao Rui thought about the pros and cons, and said: "Dayan asked us to form an alliance because he wanted to rip off the tiger's skin and drive away the wolf, and it was a safe back for Daxia. So forming an alliance is a good thing, but Yan Linglong is the emperor. , may not be a good thing. If Crown Prince Yan becomes the emperor, although he may form an alliance, he is vicious and very likely to backtrack. So I think it is better to let the two fight, even if Yan Linglong really becomes the emperor in the end, he will have to Find a way to keep her from being quiet. Dayan must be weak, which is in the best interest of Daxia."

"As for how not to be quiet, when a woman is the emperor, Dayan's family is the biggest resistance force! Even Emperor Wu Ying, who was unparalleled in the world, killed most of the family and made the entire Dayan family tremble before they could sit firmly The emperor became the only empress. Yan Linglong is not enough."

Jia Xu smiled, stood up and cupped her hands: "His Highness's analysis is very thorough."

In fact, Jia Xu was so formal because he was excited because he saw that Xiao Rui was getting better and better, and he was moving towards a monarch.

Xiao Rui hurriedly asked Jia Xu to sit down, and then said: "The real negotiation will start tomorrow, and Dayan definitely disagrees with Daxia's proposed alliance conditions."

According to the results of preliminary negotiations in the early stage, the Daxia side proposed that in order to form an alliance, Dayan must meet Daxia's three conditions:

First, Dayan pays five million taels of alliance fees to the Great Xia Kingdom every year, which cannot be delayed.

Second, if the Great Yan Kingdom encounters an enemy attack and needs Daxia's support, then all the expenses of the Great Xia Kingdom's support will be borne by the Great Yan Kingdom.

Third, in order to promote a stable alliance, Dayan needs to unilaterally send a prince as a proton.

After these three conditions are met, the next step is the formal content of the alliance between the two parties, and the formal content is very equal.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Five million taels is not a small amount for Dayan! They will naturally oppose it with reason, and the second point is that once there is a war, the cost of sending troops in Daxia must be a huge sum of money! As for the third, it is irrelevant."

The reason why the negotiations between the two countries take a long time is because one is demanding and the other is not giving, and this back and forth takes a long time.

Tomorrow's negotiation, Xiao Rui will have to participate in person, and argue hard, so that Da Xia can make money.

Nothing to say all night.

The next day, the weather was gloomy, with clouds gathering, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.

Xiao Rui went to the other courtyard in a carriage, Honglu Temple and other officials from the Ministry of Rites had already arrived, the eldest prince Xiao Lie and the fourth prince Xiao Feng also came to participate in person.

When the rain fell, the negotiations between the two sides officially started.

Xiao Rui and Du Juan were sitting at the forefront of both sides, and the negotiations were naturally left to the people below.

I only heard Lan Junbo from Dayan Kingdom say: "Masters of Daxia, the three prerequisites you put forward are too excessive, even harsh! We came here for the sake of mutual assistance and mutual benefit. This process is equal. My Dayan The country did not come to compensate for the defeat in the war! Please put your attitude right!"

An Beishan, the Shaoqing of Daxia's Honglu Temple, immediately retorted: "Lord Lan's words are wrong. Your country begged for an alliance, not my Daxia's initiative. Now your country is facing enemies on both sides. If you lose your friend Daxia again, Have you thought about the consequences? Now you only need to pay a small amount of money in exchange for the strongest support of the Great Xia Kingdom, Lord Lan, you should understand this truth!"

Huang Qiusheng retorted: "That's not true. I heard a saying in the Daxia Kingdom that there will be no eggs under the cover of the nest! If I, Dayan, are destroyed, the next one will be Daxia! Because Dawei's ambitions are not trivial, and Daqi and Daqi There is quite a gap between Zhao You and your country, don't you understand this truth?"

The eldest prince Xiao Lie immediately retorted: "I, Great Xia, are united as one, how can I be afraid of Da Qi and Da Zhao? Even if the war starts at the same time, I can handle it with ease!"

"What about the Great Wei Kingdom? The Great Wei Kingdom is the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms!"

"Big Wei? Haha, he dares to come across Dayan? Let him come! You can't beat him to death!"

"His Royal Highness Duan, although you are the prince of Great Xia, please respect your opponents. If Great Wei knows that you despise them like this, he will definitely march north!"

"The king is looking forward to his coming! All in all, five million taels must not be less!"

"I'm still talking about it, five million taels is too much, and this precedent cannot be set!"

"Five million taels is too much? Well, 4.99 million taels, no less. It's enough to give your country face!"

"What? Only 10,000 taels? Where does your country put my Dayan's face! There is also the second item, which is even more unacceptable! Daxia sent troops not only to aid Dayan, but also to protect himself. Why? All the expenses of dispatching troops will be borne by our Great Yan Kingdom?"

"My lords of the diplomatic corps in your country, please be clear. Of course, we send troops to help you. Don't we need to charge a certain fee? There is no free lunch in the world, and brothers have to settle accounts!"

...

Don't think it's too solemn for a major national event. In fact, it's just a quarrel. When the two sides back down to a point of balance, the negotiation is completed.

Xiao Rui listened to the arguments of both parties, and felt that the negotiation was boring. Looking out of the window, the sky is getting darker, the rain is getting heavier, and shallow water has formed in the courtyard. According to the rain, it is estimated that it will not stop for a day.
