Chapter 93
Chapter 93
Luo Yan's premonition was right. The envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty were indeed not friendly. Their new leader was indeed enthroned, but in the name of forming an alliance, he came to ask the Kingdom of Yu to pay them tribute. The lion said nothing. He even asked the prince of Yu State to personally escort the tribute to the Western Zhou Dynasty. It sounded like a guest, but in fact he wanted to imprison the prince of Yu State as a proton.The meaning of the words is that if the Yu State does not pay tribute or send the prince there according to the requirements of their new leader, it will be disrespectful to their new leader, and they do not want to form an alliance with them in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they want to go to war.
"If you fight, I'm afraid they won't succeed? Let us pay the tribute, but they even asked the prince to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty as a hostage. They are too deceitful!"
"I object. After a few years of war, Yu State has suffered a lot of damage. Now it is time for self-cultivation. It is not appropriate to start a war with the Western Zhou Dynasty at this time."
......
The court of Yu Kingdom immediately had a heated argument over this matter, the main war faction and the main peace faction had been arguing endlessly for a whole day, but there was no result. Emperor Yu was annoyed by them, so he waved his hand: "Okay, today is the day." It's getting late, let's discuss it another day, let's retreat first."
After Emperor Yu finished speaking, he stood up straight away, and said to Li Jingyao and Luo Mingxuan who stood first below and had not expressed their opinions: "Yaoer, Mingxuan, you two, come with me!"
After speaking, he turned around and left the hall.
All civil and military officials hurriedly saluted and sent Emperor Yu off.
Li Jingyao and Luo Mingxuan led the order to follow, and the three of them walked to Zhengyuan Hall.
Emperor Yu sat on the upper seat of Zhengyuan Hall, frowned at Li Jingyao and Luo Mingxuan and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Emperor Yu set his eyes on Luo Mingxuan.
Luo Mingxuan pondered for a while, then raised his hand and said: "My majesty, I think that no matter if we don't pay the tribute this time, or whether we send the crown prince, this battle is inevitable, it's just a matter of timing."
Emperor Yu nodded, so what they should discuss now should not be whether to fight this battle, but how to fight it.
Thinking of this, Emperor Yu subconsciously looked at Li Jingyao: "What do Yaoer think?"
Li Jingyao was silent for a while, and then he raised his head to look at Emperor Yu, opened his eyes and said, "I want to go to the Western Zhou Kingdom to be a hostage."
Emperor Yu and Luo Mingxuan were taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at Li Jingyao in disbelief. The Western Zhou Dynasty was just looking for an excuse to start a war. They didn't believe that Li Jingyao would not be able to see it, but what kind of crown prince Li Jingyao was to Emperor Yu? Love is heavy, it is impossible for the Western Zhou Dynasty not to have heard of it, and the Yu State was not weak enough to be bullied and sent the prince to be a hostage to beg for mercy. When the Western Zhou Dynasty sent envoys, they should have known that they would never send the prince there.Their request is actually tantamount to starting a war with Yu State.
"No, Yaoer, what are you talking about? Let alone sending you there, this battle cannot be avoided. Even if it can be avoided, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to send you to be a proton in the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Emperor Yu refused without hesitation.
Luo Mingxuan didn't say a word, and quickly calculated in his heart the pros and cons for Li Jingyao and Yu State if Li Jingyao went to the Western Zhou Dynasty to be a proton.
Since Li Jingyao opened his mouth, he had already made up his mind. Hearing this, he looked up at Emperor Yu and did not compromise. He pursed his lips and said, "Although with our current national strength, it is not impossible to fight Xi Zhou, but There is one thing, Father, don’t forget, we haven’t thought of a solution yet, so my son asked to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to be a proton.”
When Emperor Yu heard the words, he frowned suddenly thinking of the news that he hadn't heard in the past few years, but he was not willing to feel relieved if he was asked to send the prince he had finally found to be a proton in that kind of country that eats people and doesn't spit out bones.
Emperor Yu hesitated for a while, but still sternly refused: "No, I can't let you take risks. If something happens to you, how can I be worthy of the Wuxian who gave birth to you. Think of another way about that matter. There must be another way to solve it."
Li Jingyao frowned and said in a deep voice: "Father, it's too late. We might have had time before, but now it's too late. My son will definitely cherish himself and won't let anything happen to him. Please rest assured, Father."
Emperor Yu didn't know that as long as they went against each other's wishes this time, the two countries would immediately go to war, and that incident would become a hidden danger that could erupt at any time, but even if he really sent Li Jingyao as a proton, the other party would definitely If you want to go to war, is it an opportunity to let go of the scourge? Li Jingyao, who was the proton in the Western Zhou Dynasty, will be the first to suffer. How can he rest assured?
"Yao'er, you..."
Emperor Yu still disagreed, frowning.
Li Jingyao looked up at Emperor Yu with deep eyes and said solemnly: "Father, I have made up my mind. You should understand that if I don't go today, I may not be able to escape this catastrophe in the future. If so, if not Take a risk, maybe there will be a turnaround.”
Emperor Yu was speechless for a moment, according to Tuoba's ostentatious temper and what he said in the valley that day, if they were defeated in the future, they might be able to surrender and ask for peace, so as to prevent the land from being trampled on. In the eyes of Tuoba Zhaoyao, as long as he is still alive, he will definitely not be spared, and he will definitely be asked to be sent to the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the situation at that time must be worse than it is now. At least Li Jingyao can still be a guest now. At that time, Li Jingyao could only be a slave, and beating, killing and insulting him was not something that others wanted.
"Go down first, let me think about it."
Emperor Yu ended the conversation with a heavy heart.
"My son (chen) will leave first."
Li Jingyao and Luo Mingxuan saluted and exited the Zhengyuan Palace, each looked at each other with disgust, turned around and parted ways, one left the palace and the other returned.
When Luo Chi came back from the court, Luo Yan knew what the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty were here for. He knew that the woman had absolutely no good intentions. One day he will chop her up, chop her up, make buns and feed her to the dogs!
But the most urgent thing is to confirm whether his man can be kept, so when Luo Mingxuan came back, Luo Yan immediately ran over and asked anxiously: "Brother, what does the emperor say? You won't really let the prince go to the Western Zhou Dynasty as a proton?" ?”
Luo Mingxuan already knew that Luo Yan and Li Jingyao had been secretly having an affair outside for the past few years, but Luo Yan had been running outside for the past few years, and he couldn't watch it even if he wanted to. It's not that he didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to try it. Let's not say that Li Jingyao is not a fool, and the possibility of success is very small. Just say that if Luo Yan, a little fool like Luo Yan, is involved again, he may not be able to say that Li Jingyao will be fine. Something happened to Luo Yan first, and he didn't want to do anything that was not worth the loss.So in the past few years, I just turned a blind eye and closed my eyes.
But in the end I was still angry.
Now seeing that Luo Yan didn't even hide, and asked him directly, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said angrily, "What does it have to do with you whether you let the prince go on an envoy to the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
Luo Yan scratched his head embarrassingly. In the past few years, his eldest brother and fourth brother have been so naive, and they have secretly competed in various ways. The guards around him, until it was added to the point where no matter where he went, not even a mosquito could fly in, so that he went out for a while and used to follow hundreds of people around him. Every time Li Jingyao came, he would fight with the underworld. Interfering with his normal work, Luo Yan forced Luo Mingxuan to remove those people for him, and also ordered Li Jingyao to do his own work well, and don't run to him if there is nothing to do. In addition, he ran a long distance later, even if Li Jingyao wanted to run every day, he didn't have that free time, so the two of them stopped tossing and tossing less.However, Luo Mingxuan was still very dissatisfied that he and Li Jingyao were cut off.
"Then what, am I not concerned about the national conditions?"
Hearing this, Luo Mingxuan glanced at him, and replied: "Hehe".
This Luo Yan was not satisfied, and stared at Luo Mingxuan with wide eyes: "Brother, what do you mean? Do you question my patriotism?"
Luo Mingxuan was taken aback for a moment, what Luo Yan had done these years, even if he questioned anyone's patriotism, he definitely couldn't question Luo Yan's patriotism. If each of them had their own selfishness, only Luo Yan was He was really doing things for the country and the people wholeheartedly, and all he was thinking about was how to make the Yu Kingdom strong and prosperous as soon as possible, so that he could have a battle against the Western Zhou Dynasty today.
Thinking about it like this, Luo Mingxuan didn't bother to get angry with him anymore, besides, Li Jingyao was leaving, it was one thing whether he could come back, and he didn't need to get angry anymore, he frowned and snorted coldly: " Li Jingyao asked for his order to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to be a proton, and the emperor will most likely agree. He should leave soon, and then you will be able to serve the country and the people with peace of mind!"
Luo Mingxuan was somewhat relieved to think so, and rubbed Luo Yan's little head with his hand, turned around and went into his study to continue to analyze the pros and cons, as well as related matters such as how this war really started, how to fight it and so on.
Luo Yan was instantly dumbfounded when he heard the words, and when he reacted, he scratched his heart and lungs anxiously. The scene he saw in the valley three years ago was too impressive for him. Now, as long as he thinks of Li Jingyao Going to the Western Zhou Dynasty, Luo Yan's first reaction was that Li Jingyao would be swallowed alive if he was in doubt in the past, and his face turned pale with fright.Then run away.
When Li Jingyao received the news that Luo Yan ran to the gate of the palace like an ant on a hot pot, Li Jingyao was talking to Wei Yuan and the others about the related matters after he was told to leave. He stood up abruptly, suspended the meeting, arranged for someone to pick Luo Yan up to the place where they often meet, and then rushed there by himself.
In fact, Luo Yan has had a fixed place to have an affair with Li Jingyao in Yangcheng for the past few years, and he can contact Li Jingyao if he has something to do. He just ran to the gate of the palace subconsciously when he was anxiously thinking that Li Jingyao was in the palace.
After being picked up, he met Li Jingyao who came out to meet him on the way. After the two merged into a carriage, Luo Yan immediately raised an issue without saying a word: "How can you ask to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
Li Jingyao knew that he was frightened, so he quickly pulled him into his arms and comforted him: "I have a reason to go, have you forgotten how the mountain birds and beasts in the valley disappeared? I need to find out If we understand this, otherwise we have no chance of winning this battle.”
Luo Yan didn't forget about this, but he still calmed down after hearing this, frowning anxiously: "How did you find out about this? They can eat people, in case you are eaten before you find out Woolen cloth?"
Li Jingyao was dumbfounded by what he said: "No, Ah Yan, don't think they are too scary? Let's not say that there were only some primitive races who cannibalized people in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Not everyone cannibals, but those brutal races. Now It’s not like before, they have plenty to eat, and they won’t eat people at every turn. Taking a step back, even if they really wanted to eat people, they wouldn’t eat me.”
Li Jingyao's original intention was that he was now the prince of the Yu Kingdom, and if the Western Zhou Kingdom really devoured him, it would definitely cause panic among the kingdoms and attack him in groups. Tuoba Zhaoyao would not do such a thing that was not worth the candle.
Luo Yan misunderstood Li Jingyao's meaning when he heard the words, but he also calmed down, and glanced at Li Jingyao with a half-smile: "Yes, it's too late for that female beast in the Western Zhou Kingdom to hurt you? How can I be willing to eat you! Ah also No, she wants to eat you, but in a different way."
After a long absence, Li Jingyao once again saw Luo Yan because of his jealousy, feeling inexplicably sour, leaned into Luo Yan's ear and whispered ambiguously: "Are you jealous? If you don't want to give her to eat, then Ah Yan can eat it by himself? You can eat it for four hours." If I'm satisfied, I promise you that I won't give it to others, how about I just give it to you?"
Luo Yan blushed when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but pick it up. It sounds so exciting to just give it to you, but no matter how you think about it, it's impossible.Don't say that this time when Li Jingyao goes to the Western Zhou Dynasty, that female animal must have squeezed his fourth brother dry. Even if his fourth brother becomes the emperor in the future, he must marry a wife and have children for the sake of the country. Where can he not eat babies? Come?Will it fall from the sky?
Thinking of this, Luo Yan suddenly pushed away Li Jingyao, who came over to tease him, and sat in Li Jingyao's arms, humming lightly, very dignified, virtuous and generous, teaching his own man's experience in serving others: "Stop coming, Serious business. Let me tell you, don’t make a fuss when you go. Even if you don’t like that ugly woman, don’t put on such a face all day long. Be obedient and sensible like me, and know the current affairs. You can pose whatever you want, and you can call you whatever you want, you know? As long as you can come back alive, it doesn’t matter what you look like, don’t worry, I won’t despise you for selling out.”
Hearing this, Li Jingyao's good mood was destroyed in a short time, and he stared at the virtuous and generous Luo Yan with a dark face and gritted his teeth: "Really? Then I really thank you!"
Luo Yan's back felt cold, and he immediately turned around and flew into Li Jingyao's arms, staring at a pair of pitiful big eyes and crying: "Fourth, fourth brother, when I think of you wanting another woman, my heart hurts, it hurts so much , feel it, does it hurt?"
Li Jingyao watched him act coldly.
Seeing that Li Jingyao didn't like this anymore, Luo Yan curled his lips and said in a muffled voice: "I don't care about you, then I must feel bad if you have someone else, but the most important thing for me is that you can come back safely."
Only then did Li Jingyao calm down, he caught Luo Yan and pressed him on the carriage to kiss, and said viciously while kissing: "I won't have any other women, and you are not allowed to have any, honestly wait for me to come back, if I come back Knowing that you have someone else, I will smash that whore,|wife, and then kill you on the bed, do you hear me?"
What Li Jingyao said was fierce, but Luo Yan couldn't help but really feel relieved. Li Jingyao usually doesn't speak big words. He must be [-]% sure that he will come back safe and sound, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and hugged him tightly. Li Jingyao snorted lightly on his neck: "Well, that's what you said, if you dare to have an accident, I will marry ten or eight concubines to cheer you up every night!"
Li Jingyao felt that he was going to be pissed off before he got angry!
