Chapter 367 A weak country has no diplomacy

The Royal Palace of Yue Kingdom.

Royal study room.

The Vietnamese Emperor Murong Zhengming and the Taiwei Chen Shiheng were drinking tea and playing chess.

"Your Majesty is superb at chess, but I lost again."

Murong Zhengming smiled and said, "Chen Aiqing's chess skills have improved greatly recently!"

Chen Shiheng quickly stood up and cupped his hands, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Cao Chun, the eunuch in charge of the Yue Kingdom Palace, walked in from outside the imperial study room with a fly whisk in hand, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Zhongshu Ling are asking for an audience outside the palace."

Murong Zhengming immediately stood up and sat on his dragon chair, "Let them come in!"

"Old slave obeys!"

After a while, Murong Haotian and Gao Yanqing walked in from outside the study.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Murong Zhengming nodded, "I'm free of charge!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Gao Aiqing, you were traveling in the same car with Jin Hong. Did he reveal the purpose of your trip to you?"

Gao Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, Jin Hong is very cautious. The several times I made insinuating remarks, he always ignored me and did not answer my questions directly."

"Father, the coalition forces of Yuan and Sheng are currently attacking Qingzhou of Yan State. I think that Jin Hong's mission to Da Viet at this time is just to let us send troops to contain Yan State's troops on the border of Yan Yue." Murong Haotian said.

Murong Zhengming nodded, then looked at Taiwei Chen Shiheng aside, "What do Chen Aiqing think?"

Chen Shiheng immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I agree with His Highness the Crown Prince's opinion. Jin Hong is sending us as an envoy to Dayue at this time. The purpose is very obvious, which is to persuade His Majesty to send troops to Yan State. For this reason, Emperor Yuan Jin Zhen will definitely not hesitate to do so." I promise your Majesty a huge profit."

"Heavy profit? Chen Aiqing, please tell me in detail, what kind of heavy profit will Jin Zhen promise me?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Emperor Yuan Jinzhen's ultimate goal is for us to send troops, so as long as Your Majesty is willing to send troops, Jin Hong will eventually agree to whatever conditions we put forward, which even includes the joint carving up of Yan State by Yuan and Yue."

Murong Zhengming nodded, "Then do you think I should agree to Jin Zhen's request to send troops to Yan State?"

As soon as Murong Zhengming asked this question, Murong Haotian, Gao Yanqing, and Chen Shiheng all raised their hands and said in unison: "Your Majesty, you must not send troops."

The three of them had the same attitude towards this matter. In fact, Murong Zhengming would not send troops. The military strength of the Yue State was the weakest among the three kingdoms of Yan, Yuan and Yue. It was a blessing to be able to stay in a corner. If it were not for the natural danger of the Nanjiang River on the Yanyue border, Yan State's The army must have been here a long time ago.

The country of Yue is rich in rice. Since its founding 269 years ago, it has sent a large amount of rice to the Central Plains Dynasty every year under various excuses. This is actually paying tribute in disguise in exchange for the Central Plains Dynasty recognizing the existence of the country of Yue. They simply didn’t have the guts to attack the Central Plains Dynasty.

The successive emperors of the Dasheng Dynasty and the Dayan Dynasty were very happy to have good relations with the South Yue Kingdom when they saw that the Yue Kingdom was so interested. Coupled with the natural obstacles of the Nanjiang River and the eager eyes of the nomadic countries in the north.

"Your Majesty, conflicts will break out between Yuan and Yan on the border every ten or twenty years. Every time it is Yuan Guo who starts it, and each time it ends with Yan Guo's victory. Yuan Guo is too far away from our country, and Yan Guo But it is across the river from us, so no matter what benefits the Yuan Kingdom promised us, they are all fake. Please think twice, your Majesty." Gao Yanqing said.

"Your Majesty, the State of Yan has a large territory, abundant resources, a large population and a strong military. The Yuan State seems to have the upper hand at the moment. This is all because the Yuan State unexpectedly cooperated with the Zhao family and caught the Yan State off guard."

"Now that the Zhao family is on the bright side, the advantage of internal cooperation and external cooperation is gone. I dare to conclude that in this battle of Qingzhou, the two countries Yuan and Sheng will definitely fail. We in the Yue Kingdom only need to watch the excitement from the sidelines." Chen Shihengdao.

"Father, some time ago we agreed to cooperate with the Yuan State in order to obtain Lin Feng's advanced technology, and we have already offended the Yan State. If we send troops to the north again, once the Yan State has pacified the north, we will definitely send our troops south. Then we will be in danger. , for the sake of the country and the country of Dai Viet, I sincerely ask my father to think twice." Murong Haotian said.

Gao Yanqing and Chen Shiheng cupped their hands again, "Your Majesty, please think again!"

Murong Zhengming nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not an old fool, so I have no plans to send troops."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

As soon as Murong Zhengming said these words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, the Yue Palace.

In accordance with diplomatic etiquette, Murong Zhengming met with the Beiyuan delegation in Tianhe Hall.

"Xuan, the Yuan Dynasty envoy is here to see you!"

Cao Chun's voice came, and Luo Hong led the delegation slowly into the Tianhe Hall.

"Foreign Minister Jin Hong pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Yue!"

Murong Zhengming raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please bow down without any courtesy."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of Yue!"

"His Majesty the Emperor of Vietnam, this time our emperor ordered his foreign minister to go to Dai Viet to fight against the State of Yan together with the Dai Viet Alliance. To show his sincerity, our emperor specially ordered his foreign minister to bring the Yuan Kingdom's national treasure Longyou Nine Heavens Gold Market. The market is now at Outside the palace, please ask His Majesty the Emperor of Vietnam to allow him to enter the palace."

As soon as Luo Hong said this, the civil and military ministers of the Yue Kingdom were shocked by the generosity of Emperor Jin Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty.

Eight hundred years ago, Liu Yu, the great ancestor of Qian Dynasty, unified the Central Plains. To commemorate his achievements, he invited Lingxuzi, the great master of gold and silverware at that time, to cast the dragon's nine-day golden plate.

After the fall of the Qian Dynasty, Da Pan's whereabouts were unknown, and he unexpectedly ended up in the Yuan Kingdom.

Murong Zhengming's face was filled with joy and he couldn't wait to see this legendary national treasure of the Qian Dynasty.

Cao Chun understood and immediately shouted loudly: "Xuan, the national treasure of the Yuan Dynasty enters the palace."

After a while, four guards carried a huge wooden box to the front of the temple. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Luo Hong slowly opened the wooden box, and a huge golden plate appeared in front of everyone.

The large plate is made of ten thousand taels of gold and embedded with 360 gems of various colors. Inside the large plate is a five-clawed golden dragon flying in the clouds and mist, with a lifelike shape as if it is about to fly out of the plate at any time.

Upon seeing it, all the civil and military ministers of the Yue Kingdom marveled at Lingxuzi's superb casting craftsmanship.

Luo Hong was very satisfied with the performance of the civil and military ministers of the Yue Kingdom, and immediately stepped forward and offered his hand, "Your Majesty the Yue Emperor, the Yuan and Sheng two countries have now occupied the sixteen northern states of the Yan Kingdom, and more than 200,000 allied troops have also invaded. At the border of Qingzhou, the decline of Yan State is imminent."

"What our emperor means is that His Majesty the Emperor of Yue has declared to the outside world that the Yue Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom have formed an alliance. In the future, the Yuan Dynasty will unify the Central Plains, and the Yuan and Yue countries will be allies."

Luo Hong knew very well that the strength of the Yue State was too weak, and the relationship between Yue and Yan had always been very good. It was okay for the Yue State to participate in the kidnapping of the princess, but it was simply unrealistic for the Yue State to send troops to the Yan State.

So Luo Hong simply retreated and did the next best thing and asked the Emperor of Yue to announce the alliance between Yuan and Yue. In this way, even if the Yue State did nothing, the Yan State would not dare to dispatch the Huwei Guards and Qianniu Guards stationed on the Yanyue border to go north. Combat.

As soon as Luo Hong said these words, the entire Tianhe Palace suddenly fell silent. Luo Hong's words were full of threats. In other words, if the Yue Kingdom did not agree to form an alliance with the Yuan Kingdom, the Yuan Kingdom would be the next to be destroyed after the Yuan Kingdom destroyed the Yan Kingdom. country.

As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. The weak Yue State did not dare to offend the powerful Yuan State. Luo Hong was arrogant and tough, hoping to force Yue State to agree to form an alliance.

As long as the Yue Emperor agrees to form an alliance under pressure from the Yuan Kingdom, Luo Hong's mission will be completed.

Luo Hong thought to himself that Murong Zhengming didn't have to do anything. He only had to nod and agree to form an alliance to get the Longyou Jiutian gold market, the national treasure of the Qian Dynasty. This deal would make the country a huge profit.
