The First Tyrant of Daxia

If he had a meaningful reminder, it would be more terrifying than any threat.

Zhang Qing shuddered, nodded heavily, and then took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the Nanzhao Kingdom, I express my sincerity to you."

"It was indeed the Jurchens who took the lead in this visit by various countries. Not only did they send gifts, they also issued vague threats. If we don't come, we will be in trouble!"

"As for the joint military threat to Daxia, I'm not sure, because Nanzhao has never made an official statement, so it can't be considered to have entered the core of the Jurchens."

"But as far as I know, the Five Barbarians and Twelve Kingdoms, including the Persians, have basically sided with the Jurchens. If no agreement can be reached during this meeting, I'm afraid there's no guarantee what they will do."

Qin Yun's eyes turned cold!

He clenched his fists and made thumping sounds. He had already defeated the Turkic Khanate, but these people still dared to provoke him. Did they think that sticking together for warmth would be useful?

Zhang Qing saw his expression and became even more nervous. He said, "Your Majesty, I believe you also know that in addition to the former crown prince of the Jurchens, there is another thing that everyone is concerned about, the red cannon..."

"Its appearance, apart from the terrain and weather, had almost no enemies, which caused panic among the surrounding small countries."

"With the coercion of the Jurchens, the surrounding small countries will naturally all turn to the Jurchens. If Your Majesty can solve this matter, most of the small countries will choose not to interfere in your struggle with Emperor Wanyan. Otherwise, Daxia will be surrounded and isolated."

Hearing this, Qin Yun laughed and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha!"

Then he said sarcastically: "Is the solution to the problem to send out the red cannon? Do I need to care about these little characters? A group of hyenas want to beat up the lion king, they are overestimating their own capabilities!"

Zhang Qing shuddered and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

He was still a little bit lucky, but after feeling the toughness of Qin Yun above him, he didn't dare to say much, so as not to attract trouble.

"I have a mission for you. When you go down, show your loyalty to Xitibi and pretend to be willing to cooperate with them in asking for the Red Cannon and Wanyan Honglie, and take the opportunity to find out their plan."

"As long as you succeed, your Nanzhao Kingdom will be the only beneficiary among all the countries!" Qin Yun said.

Zhang Qing did not hesitate. Since he had chosen this step, there was no turning back: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will do my best in this matter."

"But tomorrow at court, I'm afraid Xiti will bring up the topic again..."

Qin Yun said with disdain: "That's not what you should worry about. No one can threaten me, no one!"

Zhang Qing was tense and inevitably nervous. After all, relying on Daxia meant standing together with Daxia. When one suffers, all suffer. When one prospers, all prosper.

In such a situation, does Daxia really want to declare war on the whole world?

Even if Daxia is powerful and has red cannons, can it really succeed without making compromises?

Nanzhao was already in awe of Daxia, but at this moment it still couldn't help but beat the drum.

The two of them discussed in secret for a long time before they dispersed.

The atmosphere at the envoy's post station, which was only three streets away from the imperial palace, was also strange at this moment. A meeting was started with Xitibib as the leader.

Except for a few small marginal countries such as Nanzhao, which failed to participate, other small countries participated under threats and inducements.

The Jinyiwei monitored them, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, they chose not to get close.

As night falls, the night sky of the imperial capital becomes hazy, and an invisible storm is gathering. It seems that all the countries are coming to pay tribute, and the occasion is prosperous.

In fact, this is a war without gunpowder that will determine the direction of dozens of countries.

Soon, the next day's court meeting began.

The morning light sprinkled on the white jade steps, awakening this ancient palace. An endless stream of ministers, including foreign envoys, entered in an orderly manner.

After a complicated ceremony, the atmosphere became noticeably more serious.

With yesterday's experience as a lesson, Sitibi obviously learned his lesson and started biting right away without giving the opponent any chance.

"Your Majesty, yesterday I expressed my sincerest sincerity to Daxia on behalf of the Jurchen Empire. Today, I want to bring up an old matter again. I wonder if Your Majesty can express your attitude in front of all the countries in the world!"

His words were calm, obviously he had been planning for a long time, and his sharp triangular eyes revealed a ruthless edge.

Faced with the direct and quick questions, the civil and military officials frowned. Gu Chuntang wanted to come out to deal with it immediately, but was persuaded by Qin Yun with a look.

He smiled and said, "Oh? Lord Xiti wants me to express my opinion. What is it? Is there something wrong?"

The envoys from various countries stood in more than twenty rows, and at this moment they all looked at Xitibib.

Xitibi was unhappy and cursed him for asking a question he already knew the answer for!

"Your Majesty, of course it happened a year ago. An important Jurchen prisoner, Hong Lie, was rescued by your country. This matter involved a lot of people and has caused a lot of criticism in the Jurchen country."

"The Jurchens are extremely respectful of Daxia and intend to establish a thousand-year friendship. I hope Your Majesty can express his attitude and not let the envoys of other countries feel cold. After all, respect should be mutual. I also believe that Your Majesty is only helping the Jurchens catch the criminal."

"I will definitely return it!" Xitibi smiled wryly and even found a way out for Qin Yun.

As soon as he finished speaking, another envoy spoke up: "Yes, Your Majesty, we all respect Daxia immensely. If the Jurchens are not returned, then we have to consider whether Daxia really regards its neighbor as a friend!"

"I agree too! If the Jurchens commit crimes again, Your Majesty will imprison them and then exchange them for the Jurchens, and everyone will be happy!"

"..."

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Qing, the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom, was also at the end and followed Xitibi to express his position, which shows that he has expressed his sincerity to the Jurchens and everything is going as planned.

Looking at this collusion scene, Gu Chuntang, Guo Ziyun, Zhao Heng, military officials Xiao Jian, Mu Le and others all had solemn expressions!

All the countries are colluding together to force Your Majesty to hand over Wanyan Honglie!

If you don't hand it over, you will be surrounded by enemies!

Although he was angry, he had to consider many issues. Daxia was not afraid of anyone, but could he go to war in four directions?

Qin Yun knew the attitudes of the various countries early on, so he was mentally prepared. He was not angry, but smiled faintly and began to fight back!

"Hong Lie? Who is Hong Lie? Envoy Xiti, I have never heard of a person with the last name Hong Lie. Are you mistaken?"

Upon hearing this, the Taiji Hall paused.

Xitibi clenched his fist, frowned and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, it was the Jinyiwei of Daxia and Prince Shunxun who rescued him. You won't deny it, right?"

Qin Yun curled his lips: "I have always been brave enough to take responsibility for my actions, but Hong Lie is definitely not like that!"

At this moment, Xitibi finally reacted, his heart was filled with anger, but he remained restrained: "Your Majesty, it is Wanyan Honglie from your country!"

Qin Yun smiled playfully, appearing to be extremely shrewd: "Oh? Wanyan Honglie? There is such a person."

"His last name is Wanyan, why didn't you say it just now?"

At this moment, everyone understood that His Majesty was trying to pick on the Jurchens' sore spot. Emperor Wanyan's throne was not obtained in a legitimate way and even had a dark history.
