Chapter 168 I Don't Trust You
After hearing what Shi Lidie said, the emperor said:
"Yun'an, think carefully. Marriage is no joke. The Great Yin Dynasty is not at the point where it needs to use women to buy peace."
"Your Majesty, the Great Yin Dynasty has indeed not reached that stage, but the people of the three border cities cannot wait." Shi Lidie said, "My subject's marriage is the way to minimize losses. Please grant your majesty's approval."
Seeing this, Ye Zhaonan couldn't help but smile:
"Xiaodie, it's good that you've figured it out. Don't worry, you're my savior, and I'll definitely treat you well."
"I have agreed to the marriage. Your Highness, can you send an order to the border, withdraw from the three cities, and leave the territory of the Dayin Dynasty as agreed?" Shi Lidie turned around and asked.
Ye Zhaonan shook his head and said with a smile:
"Even if it is an agreement, it is just words without proof. I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor of Dayin Dynasty to sign the letter of credence. It would be better if both parties write it down in black and white. What if I withdraw from the three cities and Princess Yun'an changes her mind?"
"Why not take advantage of the fact that all the civil and military officials are here today to resolve the matter all at once?"
The emperor and the empress both looked at Shi Lidie. They couldn't bear it, but Shi Lidie wanted to marry a foreign princess, so they still wanted to follow Shi Lidie's wishes.
"Then write it." Shi Lidie said, "But in the same way, after signing the letter of credence, Your Highness will withdraw the troops. I will have to hear the exact news from the Pei family in the northern border before I can go back to Ye State with you."
"If that's the case, the return trip would take too long." Ye Zhaonan frowned.
"I don't trust you." Shi Lidie said bluntly, "You keep saying that I have done you a favor, but you ignored my wishes and forced me to marry you. I doubt your character. Although I agreed to marry you, it was for the people of the three border cities of the Dayin Dynasty, not because of my feelings for you, so it is better to follow the rules for this transaction."
Ye Zhaonan looked hurt when he heard what Shi Lidie said:
"Princess Yun'an, I know my methods are not very decent, but I love you too much and want you too much. It doesn't matter if you don't understand me now, I will make you fall in love with me."
"Then we will do as the princess said. As long as the letter of credence is signed, I will immediately send people to the border and ask them to withdraw from the three border cities and leave the territory of the Dayin Dynasty. I will never break my promise."
Things had come to this point, and the emperor knew that Shi Lidie had made up her mind, and there was no point in saying anything. He could only follow Ye Zhaonan's wishes and have the court officials draft the letter.
The letter clearly stated that the Dayin Dynasty would enthrone Shi Lidie as Princess Yun'an and marry her to the State of Ye. The State of Ye would return the three border cities and withdraw from the territory of the Dayin Dynasty, and the two sides would not invade each other for the next ten years.
The emperor stamped the jade seal, and Ye Zhaonan also stamped the seal representing the State of Ye.
The emperor of Ye State is now old and seriously ill, and the power of the government is in the hands of Crown Prince Ye Zhaonan. He brought out the jade seal of Ye State and signed the letter of credence with Dayin Dynasty, and no one dared to say anything.
After signing the letter of credence, Ye Zhaonan sent his men on horseback to the border to deliver the message.
It would take about ten days to travel from the capital to the northern border, even if riding a fast horse. After Ye Zhaonan's people withdrew from the Dayin Dynasty, the Pei family had to send someone to take over and then pass the news back.
By this calculation, the round trip will take at least twenty days.
In other words, Shi Lidie can stay in the capital of Dayin Dynasty for at least twenty days, and Ye Zhaonan does not plan to leave immediately. He said that he wants to stay in the capital of Dayin Dynasty for a while.
Firstly, it was to cultivate feelings with Shi Lidie; secondly, it was to appreciate the customs and culture of the Dayin Dynasty.
After this matter was resolved, the little prince's full moon banquet continued.
However, the originally scheduled singing, dancing and performances were cancelled. After only a few fixed procedures, the emperor and the empress carried the little prince away and left the court officials to do as they pleased.
Before the Emperor left, he said:
"Yun'an, come with me."
Shi Lidie nodded and followed the emperor out. The other concubines and princes and princesses also left. The only people left in the Qing'an Palace were the civil and military officials in the court and Ye Zhaonan, the prince of Ye State who had just achieved his goal.
Ye Zhaonan led his men to sit down at the table, took the wine pot and poured a glass of wine. After drinking it, he immediately praised:
"This wine is good, Zhao Wei, buy some more before you leave and we can take it back to Ye State."
"Your Highness, you don't have to buy it. This wine should be sold in the Crown Princess's tavern. When the Crown Princess marries to Ye State, Your Highness can drink as much wine as you want." Zhao Wei said.
Ye Zhaonan smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
The reason why he was so persistent in wanting Shi Lidie was not only because of the life-saving grace a few years ago, but also because he had inquired about everything about Shi Lidie -
When Shi Lidie was established in the capital, the incident at Xuanyi Tower had not yet occurred. At that time, they collected information about Shi Lidie.
She invented a kind of military ration called instant noodles for the northern border military camp of the Dayin Dynasty. She grew potatoes with a yield of several thousand kilograms per mu, solving the famine in Fengping County. She brewed high-purity wine, which was sought after by dignitaries in the capital and made her a lot of money.
How could such a capable and intelligent woman be allowed to stay in the Dayin Dynasty?
As long as she is married back to Ye State, she will be a citizen of Ye State, and her heart will be with Ye State. Maybe she has more abilities and can help Ye State rise and go further.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Shi Lidie’s ability to make money, which businessman can catch up with her?
If she really went to Ye State, perhaps Ye State's treasury would be more full. At that time, he would have more military funds, more soldiers and horses, and enough strength to declare war on foreign countries.
Just as Ye Zhaonan was imagining the future, Shi Lidie had already followed the emperor and the queen to Fengqi Palace.
After the emperor sat down, he said to Shi Lidie:
"You are too impulsive. You asked for a marriage in front of the Crown Prince of Ye and the court officials. You didn't even have the slightest room for maneuver. The Crown Prince of Ye is pressing me step by step. Even if I want to delay time and find another way, I can't do it."
Shi Lidie asked for the marriage on her own initiative, not only because she didn't want anything to happen to the people in the three border cities, but also because she had to follow the plot.
But I cannot tell Your Majesty this reason, so I can only say:
"Your Majesty, I spoke only after careful consideration. My marriage will ensure that the people of the three border cities are safe and sound. This is a very cost-effective deal. Moreover, I am only marrying to the Kingdom of Ye, not going to die."
"Besides, doesn't your majesty have the ambition to unify the Central Plains? Why don't I go to Ye State and serve your majesty as an undercover agent?"
"Undercover?" The emperor was puzzled.
"Oh, it's a spy. I heard that the emperor of Ye Kingdom is now old and sick, and the power of the government is in the hands of the prince. If I get close to Ye Zhaonan, can't I get more information?" Shi Lidie said.
The emperor looked at Shi Lidie deeply and asked:
"You mean, you want to be my spy and bring back information about Ye State so that I can conquer Ye State and incorporate it into the territory of the Dayin Dynasty during my lifetime?"
Shi Lidie nodded and asked with a smile:
"Throughout history, which emperor didn't want to expand territory? Doesn't Your Majesty want to?"
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and you can definitely make unifying the Central Plains your goal. If you really achieve it, wouldn't it be a feat that will go down in history and be praised for thousands of years?"
