The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 132 Peaceful Coexistence Agreement

Yun Zhi looked at the middle-aged man standing below, who was also the envoy sent by Ji Lingyan this time.

"So, your Majesty sent you here to sign this peaceful coexistence agreement?"

The middle-aged man bowed slightly. "That's right. If we continue to fight like this, it won't benefit anyone. Why don't we five countries sign a peace agreement? It will benefit everyone."

Yun Zhi lowered her head and chuckled. Ji Lingyan thought to herself that he was the leader of the five countries.

He initiated this peaceful coexistence agreement.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I won't sign?"

Hearing Yun Zhi's words, the middle-aged man remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, the current situation in the world is extremely complicated. Only through peaceful coexistence can the people be spared the suffering of war and both sides can recuperate and grow stronger. I'm sure Your Majesty doesn't want to see such devastation, right?"

The envoy's tone was as calm as ever, but his words were not.

Is this a threat?

Hearing this, Yun Zhi raised the corners of her eyes, what a calculated move.

If she disagrees to sign, she will be considered a sinner who does not care about the lives of the people.

He is the culprit who caused so much suffering.

At that time, Ji Lingyan will directly announce to the world that Yun Zhi disregards the lives of the people and refuses peace. This will not only give him a legitimate reason to attack her, but also make her lose the support of the people.

Yun Zhi tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair and pondered for a moment. "So what are the contents of this agreement?"

The middle-aged man pulled out a document from his pocket and presented it to him, "Your Majesty, please review it."

Yun Zhi took the agreement and glanced at it briefly.

She wondered why Ji Lingyan would bring up the agreement on his own initiative, and it turned out he was just playing word games.

Although it is an agreement on peaceful coexistence, it does not specify how long the peaceful coexistence will last. It is not mentioned at all whether it is one year, ten years, or a hundred years.

What a good calculation.

Not only did he win the hearts of the people, he also had time to deal with the trivial matters that had just been established, and he could also secretly prepare military forces.

When everything is ready, we can just find a reason to attack.

It really kills several birds with one stone.

This peaceful coexistence agreement is just for show to the people. If they want to attack, they can find countless excuses.

Who can be restrained?

However, doesn’t she have the same idea as Ji Lingyan now?

She also needs time.

Yun Zhi picked up the pen, wrote her name on the agreement, and stamped it with the imperial seal.

The envoy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the document stamped with the imperial seal.

The envoy quickly bowed to Yun Zhi and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will return and report immediately."

After saying this, the envoy prepared to go forward and get the document.

"Report? You don't have to go back and report. Someone will send it back for you."

The envoy's steps forward suddenly stopped, his expression turned cold, "I wonder what your Majesty means?

"what for?"

Yun Zhi leaned forward with a smile on her lips.

"Do you really think I didn't see your little trick? Are you looking down on me? You're so bold! Is this what your Majesty taught you? I want to ask, was this his will, or did you act on your own?"

The envoy's face turned pale. He didn't expect that such a subtle expression was also captured by her.

He just rolled his eyes and curled his lips when she lowered her head.

But how could he admit it now? He forced himself to remain calm, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting you."

Yun Zhi sneered, "Misunderstanding? I haven't even asked you to come up to get it yet, so how can you explain your impatient behavior of rushing forward to get the documents?"

Feeling the powerful aura and pressure emanating from Yun Zhi, the envoy broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare wipe it away. He quickly knelt down and explained, "I just want to complete my mission as quickly as possible and return to report to Your Majesty."

But Yun Zhi didn't want to listen to his explanation, "Catch him."

The guards rushed forward and dragged the envoy away.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to kill the envoy? We've just signed an agreement, and you're going to break it?"

"Who said I wanted to kill you? I just wanted to imprison you and ask the King of Yu what he meant by this."

The envoy looked at the faint smile on Yun Zhi's face and collapsed to the ground. He knew that he was finished.

Your Majesty will definitely not protect him. At this critical moment, he will definitely sacrifice the rook to save the king. It is his own decision to shirk responsibility.

He regretted it.

He shouldn't show it. Even though she is a woman, she is the ruler of An State.

The result was naturally as he expected.

After Yunzhi's people delivered the document and asked this question, Ji Lingyan directly evaded the question by saying that the envoy had acted on his own initiative and he had no intention of offending anyone. He asked Yunzhi to handle it on his own and not to jeopardize the friendship between the two countries.

All five countries are well aware of Ji Lingyan's agreement on peaceful coexistence among the five countries.

And now they really need to cultivate their character.

So they all signed their names and stamped their seals, but they didn't know how long this superficial peace could last.

At this time, Bingzhou.

Ji Xun naturally signed the Five-Nation Peaceful Coexistence Agreement, but what made him unhappy was that Ji Lingyan was the one who took the lead and got all the credit.

At this time, he was reviewing memorials.

"Your Majesty, General Ning requests an audience?"

Ji Xun stopped writing and said, "General Ning? Let him in."

After a few breaths.

"His Majesty."

"I wonder why General Ning wants to see you?"

"I'm here for my daughter's wedding. She's already 20, not young anymore. I wonder if this..."

Listening to General Ning's words urging marriage, Ji Xun concealed his dissatisfaction and said, "So it's about this matter. Even if General Ning didn't mention it, I would have come to you to discuss marriage in a while."

Ji Xun stood up and walked in front of him. "Qingwu is my fiancée. I promised you before that I would marry Qingwu as my queen as soon as I ascended the throne. It was just the trivial matters of establishing a country that held me back before."

"I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to choose a suitable day, and marry Qingwu as my queen in a grand ceremony."

General Ning finally smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful."

Ji Xun smiled and said, "General Ning, you are too polite. It is my blessing that Qingwu can marry me."

After General Ning left, Ji Xun sat back in his chair, his brows slightly furrowed.

In fact, he didn't like Ning Qingwu. Other women were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and were also good at needlework.

Ning Qingwu, on the other hand, was a carefree person who liked to wield spears and sticks. He was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or needlework, and was not gentle, which was not the type he liked.

But Ning Qingwu really liked him. As for why she liked him, Ji Xun didn't know.

It was because of her love that General Ning would follow him regardless of everything and serve him until his death.

So, even if he didn't like her, he would marry her as his queen.

After all, the country has not been unified yet, and he still has to rely on her father, so he can only compromise and marry her.
