The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Yan at the side watched Xiao Rui's changing expression, and was very moved in his heart, and said, "Seventh brother, you don't have to worry about me, Hangzhou is so close to the capital, I can come back to see you anytime!"

Xiao Rui came back to his senses, looked at him and blinked.

"Oh! Yes, now that you're gone, we two brothers won't be able to see each other often, and my brother is very sad!" Xiao Rui responded, actually wanting to applaud in his heart, and send you away, this funny guy.

The corners of Xiao Yan's eyes were moved, and he said sincerely: "Seventh brother is so kind to me! It's worthy of my younger brother's portrayal of the holy monk Xiao Qirui so perfectly, just like Seventh brother's copy!"

Xiao Rui:...

Next, Xiao Rui didn't have time to accompany him to cultivate brotherhood, because Shaoqing from Honglu Temple sent someone to invite King Xian, and Ye Wendao suddenly wanted to see Xiao Rui urgently.

It seemed that Ye Wendao had already known about Yuan State's attack on Qi State. He was anxious to see him. It must be that Emperor Qi wanted to reach an equal consensus with Xia State in order to ensure the stability of the southern border!

So Xiao Rui immediately returned to the other courtyard of Honglu Temple.

At the same time, news of the two appointment orders spread in Kyoto.

Xiao Yiheng held the imperial decree in his hand, and sat there stupidly, with a listless and dull expression.

"Father...Father... sons and ministers are descendants. The other six countries in the mainland of China all set up sons as princes. This is the rule. Why is it different for Xia Kingdom? Why?"

"Is it because you are not a direct descendant, and your throne was won by fighting for it, so we let us fight? Is this what you admire to be king and loser?"

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

……

Xiao Yiheng was devastated, he didn't want to admit that he was defeated, he didn't want to escape from the capital in such a mess!

At this moment, the steward of the mansion came in cautiously, and said: "Your Highness, the empress has sent someone to ask you to come to the palace to pay a visit."

Only now did Xiao Yiheng's eyes focus. He came back to his senses and said, "Yes, this king is going to see his mother. She is a queen and the mother of a country. She will definitely ask my father to take back her life!"

After all, Xiao Yiheng hurried into the palace regardless of his appearance.

For the other princes, the elimination of King Chu was both a joy and a heavy awakening.After all, even the queen's legitimate son was ruthlessly eliminated, so what about the others?

All in all, at this time in Kyoto, some people are happy and some are sad.

At this time, Xiao Rui had already returned to the other courtyard of Honglu Temple and met Ye Wendao and Ye Qianqian. The two had important matters to meet with Xiao Rui.

Ye Wendao's face was slightly solemn, and he went straight to the point, saying: "His Royal Highness, Ming people don't speak dark words. Presumably your country has received the news that the Yuan Dynasty has invaded our country in a large scale. This king has just received the letter of credence from the lord of our country." , order this king to have in-depth negotiations with your country, hoping to ensure the peaceful coexistence of the border between the two countries."

It seems that because Ye Qianqian is here, Ye Wendao is using an official identity.

That being the case, Xiao Rui didn't give face at all, and said: "In-depth negotiations are fine! But the performance of your country's mission during this period of time does not look like it hopes to in-depth negotiations!"

At this time, Ye Qianqian smiled and said: "The front is an exchange, because of the differences in culture and customs between the two countries, there will naturally be friction. Now we, the Qi State, have corrected our attitude and sincerely hope that the two countries can coexist peacefully. I also hope that His Royal Highness King Xian can understand us. mind!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and asked again: "Junwang Ye and Princess Qianqian, can you really represent your majesty in making decisions?"

"Yes!" Ye Qianqian nodded.

Ye Wendao smiled and nodded.

Xiao Rui immediately understood that when it comes to real negotiations, Qi Huang still doesn't trust Ye Wendao, and instead entrusts the decision-making power to his righteous sister, Ye Qianqian.

"I don't know what conditions your country needs from our Qi country to maintain peace and friendship on the border?" Ye Qianqian asked back: "I wonder if His Highness King Xian has decision-making power?"

Xiao Rui looked at Ye Qianqian, and saw that she had a smile on her lips.

"Of course we have the right to make decisions! If the talks go well today, we can finalize the content of the alliance on the spot!" Xiao Rui said.

Ye Qianqian said in admiration: "Your Majesty really trusts His Highness King Xian, good! Then, can Your Highness state the conditions?"

In fact, even if Qi State does not form an alliance with Xia State, Xia State will not attack Qi State from behind. This is the ethics and virtue of Emperor Xia. I want to hit you, which is absolutely justified, and I don’t bother to take advantage of it!But Qi Guo is afraid, so he would rather treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

So this time Xia Guo took the initiative.

But compared with the alliance of Yan State, Qi State does not have what Xia State needs!As for the greater benefits sought, it is impossible for Qi to agree!

So there's a degree involved.

It can be accepted by Qi State, but it can't make Qi State feel too disadvantaged.

Xiao Rui immediately began to pretend: "To tell you the truth, Princess Sissi, there is nothing in your country worth asking for from our Xia country!"

That's right, that's how arrogant it is!

Ye Wendao nodded in agreement: "Although the Qin State is the strongest in the mainland of China, in terms of wealth, no country can compare to the Xia State! Especially your craftsman skills, the Seven Kingdoms are the strongest, and the only thing that is restricted is the ore Yes, your country was greatly restricted in the past, coupled with the struggle of your country's powerful and powerful, your country lost most of its territory. It can be said that your country's previous weakness was lost in the hands of its own people. But now your Majesty's civil and martial arts, means Amazing, not only regained the lost land, but also created a thriving Xia country, and now even the shortcoming of ore shortage has been eliminated, admiration."

Ye Qianqian also had to nod her head in agreement, but she still had to say: "Although your country is strong, I believe there must be something worthy of demand."

"I want Muye Ranch!" After thinking for a while, Xiao Rui made the only request.

Muye Ranch is a natural grassland pasture on the border between Xia State and Qi State. It can raise [-] horses in captivity, so neither country is willing to give it to the other. Now the two sides have divided the land, but Qi State occupies [-]%. Xia Guo only has [-]% and the middle [-]% is a hollow area.Why are there so few Xia Kingdoms?It was also because [-]% of the Muye ranch was within the territory of Qi State, in other words, Xia State took advantage of it.

His Majesty used to use the Muye ranch to study the prince's studies. Xiao Rui still remembers that the strategy he gave at that time was to open up the mountains connecting Kunlun to the west, dig canyons and rivers, and then flood the ranch and severely damage Qi.

At that time, Xiao Rui's method coincided with that of Champion Hou, but later, considering the amount of construction and the time to meet with Qi Guojun, this method was not implemented on a large scale, but simply sent people to carefully detect the terrain.

"No!" Ye Qianqian immediately refused.

Her attitude was within Xiao Rui's expectations, Xiao Rui added: "Five years! This king only needs five years of management rights. ability!"

Ye Qianqian and Ye Wendao looked at each other, and Ye Wendao nodded.

Ye Qianqian said, "Impossible for five years! Two years!"

Xiao Rui sneered: "How many good horses can I raise in two years? A good horse doesn't live forever in two years! Four years! Take a step back, my lord!"

"Three years! This is my final deadline!" Ye Qianqian said firmly.

Xiao Rui sighed, and said: "Princess Sissi really knows how to bargain! Good! Just three years!"

Ye Qianqian felt that she was at a disadvantage, so she said: "It's okay to hand over the Muye Ranch to your country for three years, but within these three years, the Xia country cannot invade our Qi country. I hope the two countries can issue a letter of alliance!"

"Of course! But if your country takes the initiative to invade Xia Kingdom, then our Xia Kingdom cannot sit still!" Xiao Rui reminded.

Ye Qianqian nodded and said, "Okay!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "That's a happy cooperation! This king will go into the palace now to report to my majesty, and bring the letter of credence when he returns."

"His Royal Highness, please." Ye Qianqian and Ye Wendao watched Xiao Rui leave.

Xiao Rui only went to the palace in the morning, and hurried into the palace in the afternoon.

Just after the Meridian Gate, I saw Xiao Yiheng.
