"Now you don't believe what this is? Could it be that I don't look like the one who drank poisonous scorpion wine?"
"It's not that Your Majesty doesn't like it, but have you ever considered the consequences? If you unfortunately died after drinking that poisonous scorpion wine, wouldn't the left and right factions be the same age as the emperor? That's why I was silent just now. It's not because I don't believe it, but because I feel it goes against common sense."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eunuch beside him glared at Su Lie fiercely.
"What do you mean His Majesty's unfortunate death? Now His Majesty is surrounded by the glory of heaven and is the true dragon emperor. Of course, His Majesty will be fine!"
"Look at you, a Qin person, how can you not speak? Did the emperor of Qin fail to discipline you well?"
“…”
The left-wing king glared at the eunuch.
This is obviously the House of Evil, but it is not under the jurisdiction of anyone. It is a pity that the eunuch has never heard of it before.
Before, the Evil Mansion was also a popular figure, able to guard half the sky.
Before, he was on equal footing with the late emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Although his family fortune has declined a bit, it is still more than enough compared to that family.
If they don't want to come out, that's purely their own problem. I'm afraid no one can stand you throwing dirty water on them for no reason.
"I, your servant, accidentally said something wrong, so please don't blame me. And you, your servant, why don't you get out of here quickly? What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me to send someone to kick you out?"
Of course, Su Lie didn't care about so many things. Since he was so easy to talk to, he was giving face to his own Evil Mansion.
As far as the friendship of the martial arts world is concerned, since you have been given face, you have to give it back, otherwise it would be against common sense. So he listened carefully to what the Left King said afterwards, and took the opportunity to bring some information back to Zhao Xin.
"So, if His Majesty sent you here, does that mean that our agreement has been reached? After he conquers Xinzhi, he will still keep the throne for me?"
Although His Majesty didn't say anything, this definitely doesn't mean what Zhao Xin meant.
"That's not the case. Your Majesty said that if you truly conquer this newly governed area, then you will be granted the status of a vassal state. Although the country will still be under your control, the ultimate responsibility will still be for the Qin Dynasty."
"In other words, if I cooperate with the King of Great Qin, then I will be able to obtain the status of a vassal state, right?"
"Yes, it is a vassal state. However, His Majesty can order you to not pay taxes for three years. Xinzhi can still collect the subsidy. After three years, all taxes and other monies must be paid."
Before leaving, Zhao Xin had an idea and specially gave him this improved law of the vassal states.
Zhao Xin also set a precedent for the left-wing king. The conditions he had were much better than those of other vassal states. It all depended on whether he was willing. After all, Zhao Xin didn't force him. Whether he was willing to come was his own business.
Whether Zhao Xin attacks or not is up to Zhao Xin.
Anyway, from what he saw, Zhao Xin was probably trying not to be too friendly to the right wing, but he couldn't quite grasp the intentions of the left wing.
"In that case..."
The left-wing king put down his chopsticks and flipped through the Great Qin Code to see what was written on it.
This first point made him feel that the Qin Dynasty was a good country and that he felt it necessary to join the Qin Dynasty.
As stated in Article 1, one can continue the customs of one's own country, such as annual chess games and other folk customs passed down from the imperial palace over the years.
Second, you may pay respects to His Majesty the Great Qin according to the customs of your country.
This meant they could use their long-standing etiquette to pay their respects to the Great Qin Emperor, without the need for three kneelings and nine kowtows, which they usually performed when addressing their parents.
This obviously did not apply to the emperor, and his place also continued this custom. Naturally, the posture used by his left-wing king did not require three kneelings and nine kowtows. He only needed to cross his index fingers and make a praying gesture.
"That's right. I've now surrendered to your Great Qin, but I heard there's a fight going on at your border. How can you find the time to win over the people?"
"How can you say you're winning over people's hearts now? Your Majesty knows the strength of the Great Qin. And given the strength of the Great Qin, Your Majesty, ask yourself, do you really need to win over the people of Xinzhi?"
Too.
But they in the Great Qin don’t know.
Although Xinzhi looks like a small country, it is related to the Zhu family, one of the ten major families.
It is mixed with the grudges of different generations.
"So since His Majesty has agreed, that's all. Actually, now that I know the secret of Xinzhi's winemaking, I'll take my leave! After all, His Majesty said before that he was extremely curious about this and wanted me to come and ask. Now that I've found out, His Majesty has generously helped me escape this disaster."
"You're such an interesting person."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. In that case, I will go first."
"Don't go yet. I have something I need you to take to His Majesty the Great Qin. Since you've already said you want to join the Great Qin, it would be disrespectful of Xinzhi to not bring anything with you. Although Xinzhi is a small place, you can't be so rude, right?"
Finally, he took out a box from the box that had been placed aside for a long time.
This time the box is the size of a jade seal.
Not to mention the carvings of dragons and phoenixes next to it, he thought it contained some royal treasures.
It has to be said that the appearance is really deceptive. Not only are there dragons and phoenixes, but the small night-shining pearls inlaid on the side also look particularly dazzling.
"Your Majesty, I have to ask you, could it be that you took the wrong thing? It looks like the same thing as the Imperial Seal..."
"Oh, you're worthy of being from this evil mansion. How come your eyes are so sharp now? You guessed what it was right away. There's not even a hint of surprise."
?
"No, Your Majesty, do you understand what I mean? Even if you are the Majesty of that vassal state, my Majesty the Great Qin is not competing with you for the throne. Why did you hand over this ordinary imperial seal?"
"There are two copies of this imperial seal. Besides, it's not unusual to give one of them to Your Majesty as a token of loyalty. Are you overthinking things? In Xinzhi, everything comes in pairs, and that's normal."
“…”
This is not a question of whether it is normal or not. If you give away the imperial seal, it means that there is a second person who can control you as a leftist. Can you really not realize this now, or do you really believe in the emperor of Qin?
*
"This is indeed what the new left-wing emperor said, and you didn't coerce or bribe him into handing over the imperial seal."
"Your Majesty, how could you think of me like that? You know what kind of person I am."
