Fortunate enough to transmigrate, and born into a landlord's family, I will never lack food or clothing in this life, yet I don't want to just drift along. So, Fu Xiaoguan casually did a fe...
Yelu Dan's pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
Because the words of the Emperor of Daxia were clearly biased towards Western Xia. He said that the Liao Dynasty should compensate Western Xia for all its losses, which clearly meant that he was standing behind Western Xia.
It seems that Tuoba Wang and Fu Xiaoguan have reached some kind of consensus at Guanyuntai, and the Liao Dynasty is in an extremely unfavorable situation.
Everyone's eyes were turned towards the Liao Dynasty delegation.
They naturally understood the meaning of Fu Xiaoguan's words - on the surface, the Emperor of Daxia seemed to be trying to stop the fight, but if you think about it carefully, this attempt to stop the fight was very meaningful.
He seemed to have other intentions.
If the Liao Dynasty agreed to his request, it would mean that the Liao Dynasty was willing to respect Fu Xiaoguan as the common ruler of the world, but what if the Liao Dynasty did not agree?
Could it be possible that this young emperor would really start a war against the Liao Dynasty just because of Xixia?
Daxia was thousands of miles away from the Liao Dynasty, and in the eyes of other countries, this war was extremely unlikely to happen.
It’s too far. The army will have to march for several months. The cost of the route alone is difficult to estimate. What good will it do even if we win?
Once the Great Xia army retreated, the Liao Dynasty continued to attack the Western Xia. Are you going to come again?
Besides, every war has its purpose. Unless Daxia wants to occupy the Liao Dynasty, it is not worth it for a small Xixia.
But the Liao Dynasty was so far away. Even if the Liao Dynasty was occupied, how could the central court effectively control it across thousands of miles?
If it weren't for the occupation of the Liao Dynasty, Western Xia was so poor that it would probably have to give the entire country to Daxia to make up for the losses of this war.
Is Xixia willing to submit to Daxia?
No emperor would make such a choice, because it means that the country no longer exists and has been destroyed. This is a path that the Western Xia emperor would never choose.
Fu Xiaoguan had never officially spoken about the Liao policy, and the three prime ministers of Daxia had only guessed at it from fragmentary remarks. Now it seemed that their emperor had clearly chosen a tough policy.
Although Daxia had been unified for less than a year, in the eyes of Daxia's civil and military officials, the Liao Dynasty... was nothing special.
As long as Your Majesty is willing, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the army of Daxia can immediately attack the Liao Dynasty!
This is the empire's confidence and their absolute loyalty to Fu Xiaoguan.
Two completely different viewpoints.
The Liao Dynasty's Crown Prince Yelu Hua also thought a lot at this moment.
He firmly believed that Daxia would not travel thousands of miles to support a meaningless country, and he did not believe that Fu Xiaoguan would have the intention to destroy the Liao Dynasty - Daxia did seem to be prospering, but such a large country must have many unstable factors within it. After all, it had only been established for a year!
What Fu Xiaoguan should do is to complete his first five-year plan and formulate the next five-year plan to take Daxia's development to a higher level and make the various regions of Daxia more stable.
So he is just pretending!
Yelu Hua raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you want me to do what you want?"
Do you want to embarrass the Liao Dynasty in front of so many monarchs and envoys from other countries?
Do you want to establish your great image by stepping on the body of the Liao Dynasty?
Fortunately, the king is here!
How can I fulfill your wish!
Just when Yelu Dan wanted to step forward and smooth things over, Yelu Hua took the lead and stepped forward.
He put his hands behind his back and looked up at Fu Xiaoguan on the podium.
Yelu Dan took a deep breath and looked at Yelu Hua who was standing in front of him.
Yelu Hua did not salute. At this moment, he was the focus of the whole audience, because his posture said a lot.
Fu Xiaoguan also looked down at the young prince in front of him with a smile on his face - Tianji Pavilion had already found out his identity and his character.
"I am the crown prince of the Liao Dynasty!"
"Now I stand up!"
"What I want to tell you is that the conflict between the Liao Dynasty and Western Xia is between our two countries. It has nothing to do with Daxia, and even less so with you."
"This king believes that as the Emperor of Daxia, you should be more concerned with the people's livelihood and national affairs. As for meddling in places thousands of miles away... This king feels that your reach is not long enough!"
These words were spoken calmly and confidently in an extremely loud voice. Fu Xiaoguan heard them clearly, and so did everyone else.
As soon as Yelu Hua finished speaking, the ministers of Daxia were immediately furious. They glared at the prince with their sleeves rolled up and their fists clenched. If they were not stopped by the guards, they would have rushed over and torn that damn prince to pieces alive.
People from other countries were also quite surprised at this moment. They originally thought that the Liao Dynasty would at most argue with the Emperor of Daxia, and finally bargain and make it look like everyone would step down and that would be the end of it.
After returning, we will continue to fight those who need to be fought. As for Daxia, we can just pretend that we don’t know anything.
After all, it is so far away that it may take more than a month for the intelligence to be transmitted back and forth. By the time the intelligence is delivered, the war may have been over.
But now the prince has come forward and said something like this... This is totally disrespectful to the Emperor of Daxia in front of everyone!
Is he so sure that Daxia can't do anything to the Liao Dynasty?
Yes, Daxia probably has no good way to deal with the Liao Dynasty.
Just as we thought before, a meaningless war would only cause Daxia to waste a lot of food, silver and money.
This business will result in huge losses. Unless the Emperor of Daxia is extremely concerned about his reputation, he will probably be forced to make concessions by the prince.
Fu Xiaoguan laughed, his smile was very bright, revealing a row of white teeth!
He looked at Yelu Hua deeply, then turned his gaze to the Western Xia Emperor Tuoba Wang.
"Look, the prince is right. This is a battle between your two countries, and they don't recognize me as the mediator..."
Is the Emperor of Daxia scared?
As soon as Fu Xiaoguan said this, all the foreign monarchs and envoys thought so. He was passing the buck to Tuoba Wang and finding a good way out.
On the contrary, when the ministers of Daxia saw their emperor's expression and heard their emperor's words, they all fell silent.
Everyone is familiar with this. Your Majesty is usually so calm when he wants to take advantage of others.
As for face... in the eyes of the people of Daxia, face is far less important than interests.
Therefore, the country that was once known for its etiquette has now been led astray by their emperor who does not follow the rules.
Tuoba Wang took a deep breath. Fu Xiaoguan was forcing him to express his opinion in front of everyone!
What a good trick!
This has brought shame to Xixia to the whole world!
But what can we do now?
Just when Tuoba Wang was about to stand up and express his surrender, he saw the smile on Fu Xiaoguan's face suddenly fade - he stared at Yelu Hua in the audience and spoke.
The voice was as loud as a bolt of thunder:
"You make me very angry, now I will show you how long my hands are!"
"I will destroy the Liao Dynasty right now and let the world see it!"
