The key is that no one can figure out what is going on between Niu Youdao and Xiaoyue Pavilion.
Niu Youdao directly ignored the three major forces of Yan State and sent troops, proving his influence on the Yan army. This is a very important key.
A letter was sent to Song State, letting Song State understand that he had found the wrong person before. It was useless to go to the Yan State court, the three major sects of Yan State, or even to the Shang Chaozong. At least Niu Youdao was fully capable of stopping Yan State. By sending troops to South Korea, I wonder how Song could possibly cause trouble for Niu Youdao now.
A letter was sent to South Korea, ordering South Korea to stop attacking the Song Dynasty. If they didn't listen, Beizhou would send troops to attack South Korea. As soon as they left the secret realm of Tiandu, they threatened South Korea. South Korea does not believe that the other party dares to fight on two fronts, but it does not dare to force the cow to jump over the wall. If you want to kill someone, the rabbit will bite when it is anxious. As long as the three major sects in South Korea have not taken the wrong medicine, it is impossible to go to the cow at this time. Youdao trouble.
As for Jin, Wei, and Qi, raising troops in Xiaoyue Pavilion is an important key.
Again, rabbits bite when they are anxious. Wei and Qi did not dare to push Niu Youdao to death before they understood the situation.
The Jin State was agitated by Niu Youdao's letter. At this time, it was impossible to cause trouble for Niu Youdao.
Yan Guo was delighted to see the change in the situation, and now he did not want anything to happen to Niu Youdao.
As for the State of Zhao, everyone now sees them as a lord, begging for the intervention of Piaomiao Pavilion, begging Wei and Qi to send troops, begging Yan State for peace talks, begging Niu Youdao for a cessation of war, etc. No one dares to offend anyone, and they can only ask for favors everywhere, regardless of the relationship. Whether the personnel can help, whenever possible, beauty and money will be sent everywhere.
Under such circumstances, Sihai actually wanted to invite other countries to deal with Niu Youdao who was at the center of the whirlpool, but naturally he could not succeed.
After this experience, Fu Hua, Lang Jingkong, Hong Gaitian, and Duan Wuchang were somewhat surprised and found that they had underestimated their sworn brother. They had heard something about Niu Youdao before, but they didn't expect Niu Youdao. It has such great influence among various countries.
The four people who met were all thoughtful and had to re-evaluate their relationship with Niu Youdao because they seemed to have seen new value.
As everyone knows, today's Niu Youdao is no longer the Niu Youdao who was hiding behind the scenes in Nanzhou. Instead, he jumped directly to the stage to flex his muscles and stir up the situation in the Seven Kingdoms.
In fact, it was helpless. He was forced to this point by the situation. There was no way out. Once he retreated, he would be in doom. How many people would not let him go. Niu Youdao and the world were all enemies, so he could only continue to move forward.
Now that they were already in Yan State, the four of them agreed and rushed to Maolu Villa together.
However, when they arrived, they discovered that the Thatched Cottage was completely empty of people, but instead there was a vegetable patch of green rice seedlings swaying in the wind.
…
"Oh, you live up to your reputation, and you are indeed the one who captivates the country!"
In the Imperial Palace of Yanjing, the Empress Dowager Shang Youlan of Zhao State was dignified and graceful, looking at the beautiful woman walking in front of her. Without waiting for the other party to greet her, she had already stood up and started talking with a smile.
The woman who came to see her was none other than the beloved concubine of Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong, and the beloved concubine of Emperor Mu Zhuozhen of the Song Dynasty. The latter gave the former a bird as a gift.
"A Que pays homage to the Queen Mother!" The slim A Que saluted with a half-crouched posture.
"No gifts, no gifts." Shang Youlan stepped forward and lifted the bird up with his own hands, looked at it up and down with a smile, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, no wonder Jianxiong likes it so much..."
There were a lot of compliments on his lips, but he murmured in his heart. He looked like this, but he could actually be held in the hands of kings of a country one after another. I really don't know what these men think about him.
She has the capital to be conceited. From her current appearance, you can see what she looked like when she was young. She was also extremely beautiful when she was young, and she was also very popular with the previous emperor of Zhao. Otherwise, she would not be the emperor of Zhao today. Queen Mother.
In fact, it may be due to bloodline reasons. Almost all women who are descendants of the Shang family are beautiful. From time to time, they will appear to be the most beautiful ones in the world. It is extremely rare to be as ugly as Shang Shuqing. After the collapse of the Wu Dynasty, princes from all sides were proud to marry the daughter of the Shang family. Of course, there is also the reason why the Shang family is a descendant of the royal family, so marrying the daughter of the Shang family can also show your status.
However, as the Wu Dynasty disappeared for too long, the latter reason gradually became unimportant.
Although Shang Youlan muttered in her heart, she still kept complimenting her on the surface. She had no choice but to do it because the situation was stronger than the person.
When she came, Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong also had a headache.
This is Shang Youlan's natal family, and Shang Youlan is Shang Jianxiong's elder and his biological aunt. This status cannot be erased. Ordinary people can do whatever they want, but as the emperor sets an example, some things should at least not be wrong on the surface.
What's more, Shang Youlan cried when she got married and almost hanged herself. She made sacrifices for Dayan to marry and get married. She suffered a lot of grievances for Dayan. Later, she really thought about her motherland. The State of Yan made many contributions. But later on, her status gradually changed. In the Zhao Kingdom's mother-in-law world, her position naturally gradually changed. Now even the Emperor of Zhao Kingdom has to go to pay her respects sooner or later. Zhao Kingdom is already her home.
Shang Jianxiong also had his daughter get married. If this embarrassed Shang Youlan, what would other married women think? Isn't it chilling? He is somewhat scrupulous.
But Shang Jianxiong knew what she was here to do, to be a lobbyist for Zhao State. The three major factions of Yan State had already made a decision on this matter. He could no longer make the decision and could not give Shang Youlan face, so he found reasons to hide. Without seeing it, people are being entertained with delicious food and drinks.
Shang Youlan would not give up until she saw the Emperor of Yan. She visited Tong Mo and other relevant ministers one by one, and she also visited the queen in the harem, all of whom were vague.
Although they all shied away, Shang Youlan had the status of both countries. No matter whether it was Tong Mo, others or the queen, they had to treat her respectfully and did not dare to neglect her.
Later, under the guidance of Zhao's envoy in Yanjing, he said who was the most useful person in the harem to speak in front of Shang Jianxiong.
So Shang Youlan found Shang Jianxiong's favorite concubine Aque, and this was the scene before her.
Ah Que smiled reservedly and said, "The Queen Mother is so impressed by the beauty of Puliu."
"It looks good." Shang Youlan held her hand and waved for someone to bring in a bunch of things. Each box was opened, and the jewels were all gifts for A Que. Appreciate each piece of hand.
After giving the gifts, he took the opportunity to complain and told the story of when he was betrothed, saying that women are pitiful and so on. Now when he returns to his parents' home, he is not welcome and cannot even see Emperor Yan. She cried at the end of the story and told Ah Que that she was extremely uncomfortable. He held her hand to comfort her.
It has to be said that Shang Youlan has found the right person.
Ah Que has never interfered in government affairs. After meeting Shang Jianxiong, he couldn't help but mention it. Is it too callous to say that Shang Youlan went back to her parents' home and couldn't even see the emperor? He said that Shang Youlan would not leave until he saw the emperor.
Although Shang Jianxiong said that he had no choice but to do so, he finally met Shang Youlan the next day.
It is inevitable to be polite when meeting, and some topics are inevitable. It is impossible for Shang Youlan not to mention the peace talks, but Shang Jianxiong shirks it because he does not want to talk to Zhao Guo. To put it bluntly, the Yan army wants to continue fighting.
Shang Youlan refused to give up, and Shang Jianxiong was forced to have no choice but to drive this person out, so he had to tell the truth, "Auntie, to be honest with you, I can no longer make the decision in this matter. The three major factions of the Yan Kingdom The conclusion has been reached, as soon as you arrived, the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom have already issued a warning to me, not allowing me to compromise, otherwise the throne will be replaced!"
Shang Youlan: "Jianxiong, I'm not unaware of the threat Shang Chaozong poses to you! The demise of the Zhao Kingdom will not be good for me, nor will it be good for you. Are you willing to see the Shang Chaozong continue to be powerful? Jianxiong, you Don’t you want to curb the expansion of the Shang Dynasty? After all, you are the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, and you still control most of the state capitals of the Yan Kingdom. No one dares to push you into a hurry. As long as you persist, the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom will I don’t want to see chaos in the Yan country!”
Shang Jianxiong shook his head: "Auntie, today is different from the past. Now there are no external threats to Yan State, and all forces are restrained. The three major factions are not afraid of civil strife at all. When civil strife breaks out, they can easily put out a large army. At this time, , whoever controls the military power controls the right to speak! If I dare to act recklessly, then I will really give the traitor of Shang Chaozong a chance, and I'm afraid I won't even know how he died. Auntie, this matter Please stop mentioning it, I’m not trying to shirk it, but I really can’t help you!”
Shang Youlan's eyes were red and she said with tears in her eyes: "Why, why does it have to be like this! I didn't want to get married back then, but you insisted on marrying me over. Now I have a family there, with a whole family of children and grandchildren. But you can't tolerate my family. You insist on fighting with each other and destroy my family alive. Jianxiong, I treated you very well when you were a child. I will protect you no matter what happens. Now you Are you trying to force me to death by refusing to save you?"
Unable to persuade with reason, he began to move people with emotion.
Shang Jianxiong sighed: "Auntie, don't worry. No matter what happens to the Zhao State, no one from the Yan State can force you to death. If you don't talk about me, even the Shang Chaozong will not dare to act rashly against you. You have to respect me." You. Auntie, whether you are in the Zhao Kingdom or not, whether you are in the Zhao Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom, I can guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing, and live in glory and wealth throughout your life!"
Shang Youlan said loudly: "Then can you let my son go? Can you let my grandson and the others go?"
Shang Jianxiong was silent. He could not give any guarantee on this matter because he knew that cutting off the grass would definitely eliminate the roots. How could there be any future troubles? He would definitely do the same thing in his place.
Shang Youlan's tears were streaming down her cheeks, she understood, understood, her children and grandchildren would not be let go.
She also wanted to try her best to fight for it. If Zhao Guo really couldn't save it, she could save her children and grandchildren, but the other party didn't even agree to this.
Finally, he laughed miserably and said, "Why should I be born into such a heartless and unjust family? From now on, the Shang family and I will never owe each other any favors!" After that, he turned around and left.
