Chapter 91 The Princess as a Hostage
The silence of the crowd made Jirimutu panic. He cursed in his heart: "Robbers, they are all fucking robbers! They already have fifty war horses, and they are still not satisfied. They are greedy!"
Even if they are angry inside and swear frequently, they still look humble on the surface. This is the cultivation of being an envoy. They must ensure that their expressions are perfect during negotiations and cannot let the other party see their emotions.
No matter how well Jirimutu hid, people's micro-expressions would always change, and Shen Yu was observant and did not miss it. It seemed that this was the best condition that Mobei Kingdom could offer.
"It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. Since the Mobei Kingdom is so sincere, my Yue Kingdom, adhering to the principle of friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries, will naturally agree to a ceasefire and conclude a friendly treaty." Shen Yu took out the agreement that had been drafted early in the morning, which was drafted entirely according to the letter written to him by Xu Zhao.
Seeing the person in front of him take out the agreement that had been prepared long ago so quickly, Jirimutu cursed the profiteer in his heart!
This was obviously premeditated. He didn't check it in time and fell into the other party's trap.
Shen Yu handed the agreement to Fang Xuren, who handed it to Ji Rimutu.
After Jirimutu took it, he read it carefully. The content was exactly the same as what he had just said: fifty first-class war horses, one hundred second-class war horses, and even the ten cities that were ceded were clearly written.
But what surprised him was that the Yue Kingdom was willing to accept the people of Mobei to live in these ten ceded cities. The Yue Kingdom would establish a protectorate in each of the ten cities to manage these ten cities. As long as the people of Mobei behaved themselves, the Yue Kingdom would never make things difficult for them.
Such an arrangement would not only surprise Ji Rimutu, but even Shen Yu and others were surprised when they saw the letter from Xu Zhao. However, he still did it because he believed that Xu Zhao must have her reasons for doing so.
"My Yue Kingdom is willing to be on good terms with Mobei. Only when the two peoples no longer have disputes, the country will naturally be at peace." Shen Yu said calmly.
After listening to Shen Yu's words, Jirimutu was moved.
But everyone knows that this friendly agreement in hand can only last for a few years, or even more than ten years.
One day, if one of the parties becomes stronger, it will definitely tear up this agreement, and then it will still be a fierce battle.
But what does this have to do with Jirimutu? What he has to do now is to sign the armistice agreement with the Yue Kingdom before he can go back to report. Any reluctance will be in vain.
The agreement was made in duplicate. After confirming again and again that there were no problems with the agreement in his hand, Jirimutu took out the seal he carried with him and stamped it on the agreement.
Every country has this kind of seal, which is used on agreements signed with other countries. As long as it is stamped, it will take effect. In diplomacy, only seals are recognized.
The two parties exchanged agreements and finalized the matter.
Jirimutu placed the armistice agreement and friendship agreement belonging to the Mobei Kingdom in a brocade box for safekeeping.
"Prince Shen, I have something else to tell you from the Mobei Kingdom." Jirimutu placed the brocade box on the table. He stood up and performed the Mobei Kingdom etiquette towards Shen Yu.
Just when Shen Yu and others thought that Ji Rimutu would leave after signing the agreement, they didn't expect that he actually had something to say.
Judging from the situation, it’s probably not a trivial matter.
"What's the matter?"
"I've heard that the daughters of high-ranking officials and noble families in the Yue Kingdom's Imperial City are all well-educated ladies. My emperor wants to send our Grand Princess Mobei to the Yue Kingdom to study. I wonder if Prince Shen would be willing to escort the Grand Princess to the Yue Kingdom's Imperial City?"
From what I heard, it seems that the new emperor of Mobei Kingdom is determined to send the eldest princess to Yue Kingdom. The meaning of this is self-evident.
They said they were going to the Moon Country to study, but in fact they were just sent to the Moon Country as hostages.
Since ancient times, two countries have exchanged princesses or princes as hostages for the sake of diplomatic relations. Once a war breaks out between the two countries, the first to suffer are the princesses or princes who are hostages.
There are many royal descendants, but generally speaking, the hostages exchanged are those who are not favored in the royal family. If a war really breaks out, they will be nothing more than useless pawns.
Shen Yu had also heard a little about the eldest princess mentioned by Jirimutu.
The eldest princess, Ugle, was the only daughter of the old emperor of Mobei and the sister of the crown prince. Her status made her willful and capricious since childhood. It was rumored that she loved beating and killing slaves and her methods were cruel and inhumane.
The reason given by the new emperor of Mobei is indeed consistent.
The other party has expressed this attitude. If they do not accept the princess, they will probably be criticized. Moreover, his royal brother will probably not miss this ready-made hostage.
"In that case, we will respectfully welcome the Grand Princess at the border of the Moon Nation." Shen Yu took on the task. They were all going back to the capital anyway, so this was just a side trip. "Deputy General Fang, escort the envoy."
Stay any longer and don't make any other requests.
"Your Excellency, please come this way," Fang Xuren stretched his hand back toward the door.
Seeing that the second task was also completed, Jirimutu performed a retreat ceremony and left the tent with Fang Xuren.
The Yue Kingdom commander's tent was some distance from the military camp entrance. On the way, Fang Xuren asked directly, "Does your emperor intend to torture the princess?"
It's not the first day that he has been an official in the court. Everyone knows that when he is a hostage in another country, he is a guest on the surface, but everyone knows that it is precisely because he is out of favor that he is sent as a hostage, so those hostages will be bullied by the princes and princesses in the palace to some extent.
On second thought, there is only one prince in the royal family of Yue Kingdom, and he is still in their military camp.
However, there are many other royal relatives or daughters of high-ranking officials in the imperial city, and they will not treat the eldest princess politely either.
"What are you talking about, Deputy General Fang? Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, this eldest princess will be canonized as the eldest princess soon. How could our emperor treat her unfairly?" When he was away from home, Jirimutu had to maintain the dignity of the Mobei royal family.
As outsiders, they were not supposed to know or inquire about what was happening inside the palace.
However, the eldest princess acted eccentrically and had no regard for the friendship of her compatriots. She would beat or scold those brothers who were not favored. The worst case was that of the new emperor, who was still the seventh prince. He was beaten by the eldest princess many times until his skin was torn and he could not get out of bed. This matter was brought to the attention of court officials many times.
The ministers of remonstration had made many suggestions, but the late emperor loved her so much that he reprimanded them instead. Therefore, all the court officials knew the eldest princess's character and everyone avoided her when they saw her.
"If you truly love this eldest princess, you should immediately make her the eldest princess. The new emperor of Mobei has been on the throne for some time, but he still hasn't made her the eldest princess. It's clear that he doesn't truly love her."
Fang Xuren was a straightforward person who spoke his mind, which made Jirimutu embarrassed.
"Deputy General Fang, be careful with your words!" Jirimutu's forehead throbbed as he tried to save face. "The eldest princess is a precious treasure, having lived a life of luxury since childhood, and has a somewhat unruly temper. I heard that the daughters of the Yue Kingdom are all well-bred, so I wanted to send the princess there to learn from them."
