Chapter 235: The lion opens his mouth too wide, is Tiandu selling out his country for personal gain?



Wei Yunyi's appearance at this moment.

He is like an emperor who has conquered the world.

In order to safeguard the dignity of the country and the interests of the people under its rule, we must not be afraid of powerful enemies.

Especially his words, which were full of majesty, made Zhao Lingying beside him stunned for a moment.

Zhao Lingying had always admired heroes like her father, great men who were victorious in every battle and never feared death. However, many men found it difficult to do this.

After all, there are very few people like Shenwu Hou, even in the Wei Dynasty.

Especially in recent years, the Wei Dynasty has fought fewer and fewer battles with foreign enemies, and the court has focused its energy on domestic affairs.

During this period, many young talents did emerge, but almost all of them were civil officials who wanted to make achievements in governing the country.

Zhao Lingying was the daughter of a general. Although she admitted that those people were good and needed by the country, she did not like or care about them, even though she herself was such a person.

But since she entered the palace and met the current emperor, she found that she was slowly being influenced by him.

Your Majesty, not only is your imperial mind extremely superb, but you are also extremely skilled in governing the country.

More importantly, in the face of provocations from foreign enemies, he showed the dominance that an emperor should have, directly went to war and destroyed Gaoyang. In the process, he also used various conciliatory tactics to govern.

Especially the last time when the emperor led the army in person, although Zhao Lingying was really reluctant to let him go, she was very supportive in her heart.

And in the end, Your Majesty conquered the Baiyue people, who had never been conquered by any dynasty.

He made Meng Jue, a rare genius among the Baiyue people, surrender.

This kind of method was beyond her imagination.

Now, facing Tiandu's request for peace, any other emperor would at most choose to impose some conditions and then agree. After all, no one wants to have a powerful enemy by their side.

It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to turn enemies into friends. This is the safest and most correct way.

But the current His Majesty did not do so at all. His Majesty thought of the soldiers guarding the border.

He also thought of the people in the Wusi area who were slightly weaker than the Tiandu army.

I thought of the dignity of Wei as the most powerful country in the Eastern Continent.

For these, Your Majesty will make Tiandu pay a huge price, even at the cost of angering Aqin III.

Zhao Lingying admired such a person, and this person was her man, the emperor whom she served day and night. How could she not be happy?

Although she knew very well that His Majesty's actions were not wise, because of her inner joy and love for her Majesty, Zhao Lingying walked out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you are right. I will support you at all times!"

These words startled Wei Yunyi beside him, because he had never expected that such a lame excuse could actually convince the other party.

Yes, to ordinary people, those words would indeed make their blood boil and inspire admiration.

But you have to know that this concerns the relationship between the two countries.

Such an important matter is not black or white. It is a struggle between interests. How can we make a decision casually because of momentary passion?

However, Wei Yunyi hadn't intended to completely convince Zhao Lingying; he was just looking for an excuse. So, he quickly calmed down, sat down, and said, "My beloved concubine, you understand me. Very well, my beloved concubine, as I wish, please review this memorial and have it delivered as soon as possible."

"I think the Grand Tutor and the Emperor's father-in-law are still holding a banquet to welcome Aqin III. If there is no such thing, we should start talking quickly."

"So before we officially begin, I must let them understand my intentions and my decision."

At this point, he added: "Even if they have opinions, they are not allowed to raise them. We must resolutely implement them and tell them that this is for the sake of the Great Wei and the people."

"Yes, I will do it now."

Beside him, Zhao Lingying nodded and started to review it immediately.

After finishing the work, Wei Yunyi immediately asked Wang Jin to send it over without wasting time.

The purpose of having Wang Jin, the director of the Imperial Household Department and the director of the Eastern Depot, deliver the memorial personally was to show the importance attached to this matter.

After everything was done, he looked at Zhao Lingying with a smile on his face and continued, "My beloved, although there is a saying that governing a large country is like cooking a small fish, sometimes, when it comes to national interests and dignity, even a matter of proportion cannot be compromised."

"Now that the power of our Great Wei nation is growing rapidly, we are poised to dominate the Eastern Continent. Under such circumstances, we must safeguard our national dignity. Do you understand?"

"Chengqie naturally understands." Zhao Lingying replied with a smile on her face.

She felt that she could learn a lot from His Majesty's side, which she could not learn even from history books.

"Um."

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi nodded with satisfaction.

For the next period of time, the two continued to review other memorials.

Of course, during this period, Wei Yunyi showed a lack of interest.

Because for him, anything that cannot curb his luck will not arouse his interest.

As for the smallest of small things, let alone the smallest of them.

...

"What? His Majesty said that he wants to increase the pressure on those conditions and ask us to come up with a few more conditions to encourage Aqin III to accept them."

At this time, in a hall in the capital specially used to entertain foreign envoys, when Zhang Zhengming, Song Gongwen and others saw the memorial just delivered by Wang Jin, they were immediately shocked and at a loss.
