Jiang Wan'er had no expression on her face, and her voice became colder and colder: "Rather than saying that what they handed over was a letter of credence, it would be better to say that it was a declaration of war!"
Princess Yongning immediately stood up and said, "Royal sister, they are robbing me. I was the one who made the thunder bomb. Why are they asking for it?"
“It’s so shameless!”
Zhao Hao also frowned slightly. He didn't expect things to have reached this point.
However, he is not as naive as Princess Yongning.
Between countries, strength is the key.
This is normal.
In the previous life, there was a very famous saying on the Internet that was almost known to everyone.
[The truth is only within the range of cannon].
Without strength, you can only be bullied.
After a brief pause, Zhao Hao calmly said, "Your Majesty, so the possibility of a war has reached 80 to 90 percent?"
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly: "That's about it. Do you know who is coming to the Wu Kingdom delegation this time?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "I heard about it from Princess Li Ge, or the third prince of Wu?"
Jiang Wan'er said: "That boy is just a straw bag. I don't take a straw bag seriously."
Zhao Hao: "Then I don't know."
As for the State of Wu, he only knew the third prince. He didn't even know who the emperor of Wu was, let alone which minister he was.
Jiang Wan'er said, "The leader of the delegation is not the incompetent Third Prince, but Xie Daoxun, the female prime minister of Wu."
"Xie Daoxun?"
"It's her?"
Zhao Hao was completely confused, but Princess Yongning next to him exclaimed, and an incredible look suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness knows this person?"
Princess Yongning couldn't help but be surprised: "Don't you know?"
Zhao Hao suddenly smiled awkwardly.
Princess Yongning said, "This Xie Daoxun is from a prominent family in Wu State and has been extremely intelligent since childhood."
"When he was fourteen years old, he wrote a memorial to the Emperor of Wu."
"The memorial not only criticized the current problems of the entire Wu Kingdom, but also made extremely detailed plans for the future development of the Wu Kingdom."
"This memorial caused a huge shock throughout the Wu government and the country."
"Moreover, in addition to the content of the memorial, the entire memorial also demonstrates its unparalleled literary talent."
"It was also because of this memorial that not only did the name Xie Daoxun enter the Wu court, but it also spread throughout the world."
"Because she wrote it when she was fourteen, at the prime of her youth, people later called this memorial the 'Spring Cardamom Memorial'."
"However, although this memorial made her famous, she was only fourteen years old at the time, and was still a girl."
“So it soon became silent.”
"Until she was 21 years old, she had not yet married and went with her father to Baishazhou in the southwest of Wu State."
"But at that time, her father fell seriously ill."
"She had no choice but to disguise herself as a man and become her father's staff member."
"Finally, he led his father to govern Baishazhou."
"There are many barbarians in Baishazhou, Wu State, and bandits are rampant. For more than a hundred years, it has been an area that the imperial court has no jurisdiction over."
"But such a place, in the hands of Xie Daoxun, has completely turned into a peaceful place in just over two years."
"Even the taxes paid to the imperial court have increased several times compared to before."
"The newly reclaimed fertile land has reached tens of thousands of hectares."
"At that time, the earth-shaking changes in Baishazhou shocked the entire Wu court and the public."
"Xie Daoxun's talent has really attracted the attention of His Majesty the Emperor of Wu."
Zhao Hao immediately interrupted and said, "Even if that's the case, as a woman, Xie Daoxun can't sit on the high position of Prime Minister of Wu State, right?"
Princess Yongning nodded and said, "Of course, the etiquette of Wu is much more rigid than that of our country."
"However, the Emperor of Wu was very foresighted. He quickly let the eldest prince of Wu, also known as the Crown Prince of Wu, marry Xie Daoxun."
"She directly became the Crown Princess of Wu."
"However, within less than a year, the Crown Prince fell seriously ill and passed away."
"This is also the reason why the princes of Wu are competing for the throne."
"Let's talk about Xie Daoxun."
"After the death of the Crown Prince of Wu, she should have been criticized and had a lot of trouble."
"After all, the original Crown Prince of Wu was very strong and courageous, and was the undisputed successor."
"But she died of illness after being married to him for a year. She can't escape the reputation of being unlucky in marriage."
"But at this time, she asked to go to Yuxianzhou, the southernmost part of Wu State."
"That's where the Wu Kingdom exiled its criminals. It's a completely barren land."
"And it's also filled with refugees from other countries."
“Bandits are rampant.”
"It was in a place like this that she completely changed the face of Yuxianzhou with her own efforts in just four years."
"In addition, a sea protection force of more than 10,000 people was formed in Yuxianzhou."
"We have completely wiped out a large number of pirates who were entrenched on the sea."
"After this incident, the Emperor of Wu fully realized her talent for governing the country, and against all odds, he allowed her to join the government and gave her a real official position."
“And she lived up to expectations.”
"It took only three short years for him to enter the imperial court."
"Three years ago, the Emperor of Wu personally appointed her as Prime Minister, and she became the first female Prime Minister of Wu."
"It is precisely because of her existence that the Wu Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom have become closer."
“Even tied together.”
"It can be said that all over the world, not only in Wu, but also in our other countries."
"The name Xie Daoxun is also well-known to everyone."
"Her deeds were even made into songs and stories by opera troupes."
After listening to Princess Yongning's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but let out a long breath.
This female prime minister of Wu...
It’s too powerful!
Is this the heroine's script?
That's not right!
This is obviously a book for men, and I am the protagonist!
Such an explosive existence shocked Zhao Hao to the point of being almost speechless.
It's true as the saying goes, a tough life can't be explained by just being a kid!
Jiang Wan'er also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This Xie Daoxun is indeed a rare genius."
"With her coming this time, our room for maneuver will be very small."
"I'm afraid that the talks will eventually fail and we'll have no choice but to fight!"
Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, they handed over the letter of credence and stated their requirements in it, so why did they come?"
"Moreover, it was this lady prime minister who brought the Third Prince here in person."
"Why don't you just let us do it and give us an answer?"
"If you agree, then we won't fight. If you don't agree, then we'll fight."
"Isn't it a simple matter?"
