Hearing this, Emperor Yuan Tai frowned and said in a dignified manner,""Our Great Zhou is a big country and a civilized country. We should show the demeanor of a big country.”
"Even if it's the northern barbarians, there's no problem in welcoming them with rites and music.”
"This is to let them know that our Great Zhou civilization is powerful.”
"As for those armies, don't worry about them.”
"As long as they don't run around, it's fine. It's just a few thousand Northern Barbarians.”
"Our Great Zhou Imperial City has tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers and martial grandmasters. How can we be afraid of not being able to deal with a few thousand Northern Barbarian soldiers?”
"But Your Majesty, if a fight really breaks out, the first victims will be the people in the city. I think we should keep a close watch on them."”
"We should also send troops to monitor them on their way back to prevent them from looting the people at our borders.”
However, Emperor Yuan Tai laughed and said,""My dear minister, you're so muddle-headed."
"We're already going to marry the Northern Barbarians. We'll be allies in the future.”
"How could they possibly plunder the people at our borders? This is completely groundless speculation.”
"Your Majesty, the barbarians of the north have wild ambitions. It's better to be careful.”a military official said.
Emperor Yuan Tai waved his hand.”
"Our Great Zhou is about to enter a period of prosperity and health. Everyone should think positively.”
"Moreover, in my capital, there are martial grandmasters protecting us. The northern barbarians definitely won't dare to cause trouble here.”
"Alright, don't say anymore. Inform the Ministry of Rites to prepare the ritual music. Tomorrow, we'll let the Northern Barbarians know the beauty of our Great Zhou's ritual music.”
After saying that, Emperor Yuan Tai flicked his sleeves and left.
The court officials looked at each other, and many of them sighed.
The Northern Barbarians had brought thousands of elites to camp at the entrance of the capital, but the Great Zhou still welcomed them with etiquette and music. Wasn't this slapping their own faces?
However, they had seen that Emperor Yuan Tai did not listen to their advice at all.
However, many people felt that what Emperor Yuan Tai said made sense.
Their Great Zhou was a country of etiquette and music, so they should show their strength to the barbarians.
Moreover, there were martial grandmasters in the capital. If those barbarian soldiers really started to cause trouble, they would definitely be the ones at a disadvantage.
After all, it would only take a grandmaster to destroy an army of thousands of ordinary martial artists in the blink of an eye.
After the retreat, everyone still had their own considerations.
However, the voices of discussion and opposition were much softer.
......
The next day.
Outside the Qilin Palace.
The Northern Barbarian Envoy entered the hall.
The leader was the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians.
From the moment they stepped into the palace, a beautiful melody rang out around them.
"I am the First Prince of the Eastern Moon Clan, Watson.”
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Northern Barbarian Prince bowed to Emperor Yuan Tai.
The official from the Ministry of Rites said sternly,""After entering my Great Zhou, you have to kneel before the emperor. Why don't you kneel?”
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians chuckled and said,""I was born in the Northern Barbarians, and I follow the etiquette of the Northern Barbarians.”
"As for the etiquette of the Great Zhou, I haven't had the time to learn it.”
"This is the Great Zhou. Since you're here, you should treat it as a courtesy.
"Seeing that Your Majesty is not noble is disrespectful!”
At this moment, a civil official with a different opinion stepped forward and said,""I think it's fine."
"The First Prince is a member of the Eastern Moon Tribe. It's understandable that he doesn't understand the etiquette of our Great Zhou.”
Emperor Yuan Tai waved his hand and said," You are right. In that case, we can stand and salute."”
This sentence shocked many of the court officials.
However, some officials felt that Emperor Yuan Tai had always had the bearing of an emperor.
Even when facing barbarians, he still maintained his magnanimity as an emperor.
Moreover, Emperor Yuan Tai had been insisting on peace talks for the sake of the people of Great Zhou.
Such an emperor seemed to be the fortune of their Great Zhou?
However, they had neglected one thing.
That was…
The Northern Barbarians were going to submit to them.
What kind of logic was it that the officials did not kneel when they saw His Majesty?
The Great Zhou usually welcomed all the foreign diplomatic missions. Which one of them did not kneel down to pay their respects?
How could Emperor Yuan Tai ignore their rudeness so casually? He was giving them too much face.
Emperor Yuan Tai ignored the officials 'expressions.
In his opinion, he was quite magnanimous as an emperor.
Moreover, many officials seemed to have changed their opinion of him.
As expected, everything he did was right.
"First Prince, I wonder if you've thought it through before coming here?”Emperor Yuan Tai asked.
" Your Majesty," the Great Prince of the Northern Barbarians said." The Northern Barbarians have already decided to negotiate and I will marry the Princess of the Great Zhou."”
"Very good. Tomorrow, we will prepare for the wedding ceremony.”Emperor Yuan Tai laughed.
"This is naturally for the best."
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians said respectfully.
However, there seemed to be a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth.
In his eyes, the women of the Northern Barbarians were the best. The women of the Great Zhou were all weak.
She couldn't do anything if she married him.
If it wasn't for the Northern Barbarians, he would never have married a weak Great Zhou woman.
"Since that's the case, then I'll ask the Eastern Moon Clan's envoy to retreat and rest.”Emperor Yuan Tai waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, I have another question.”
The First Prince of the Northern Barbarians suddenly said.
"The last time my Eastern Moon Clan's envoy was assassinated, did they find the murderer?”
Emperor Yuan Tai didn't know how to answer.
They couldn't possibly say that it was their Great Zhou's Third Prince, right?
If he told the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians, it would definitely cause conflict between the two countries.
Moreover, the Third Prince was also a member of the royal family.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Yuan Tai said,"The truth is about to be revealed. First Prince, there is no need to be anxious. The most important thing is to negotiate and escort the bride first.”
"Your Majesty, please find the murderer for my innocent clansmen.”
After saying that, the Northern Barbarian diplomatic group left, and the welcome ended.
However, many of the Great Zhou officials had ugly expressions on their faces. They felt that the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians was too impudent. He did not even have the slightest bit of courtesy when speaking to the Emperor.
However, he remembered that they were a group of barbarians and spoke rudely, so he did not say anything.
Emperor Yuan Tai didn't take it to heart.
Right now, his mind was filled with the idea of making the Great Zhou and the Northern Barbarians enter a peaceful stage and obtain this thousand-year-old achievement that would be sung by people for thousands of years.
However, this thousand years of achievements was only his thousand years of achievements.
As the emperor, Emperor Yuan Tai had heard a lot of flattery, especially from Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao had been following Emperor Yuan Tai's wishes and told him that the people were against the marriage because they were stupid.
His Majesty was doing the right thing, and the other officials who opposed him were also doing it for their own interests.
Now, it seemed that Zhao Gao's words were indeed very reasonable.
There were indeed fewer voices of opposition today.
Moreover, some neutral officials also spoke up for him.
Emperor Yuan Tai clenched his fists excitedly.
He did not do anything wrong!
As a person who ruled the world.
What he saw was not just a small profit in front of him.
This group of people had been blinded by the Lu family's performance all along!
......
In the imperial prison.
Lu Yu, who was cultivating, sneered when he heard the news of the arrival of the First Prince of the Northern Barbarians.
The wild ambitions of the Northern Barbarians would never change. From the way they talked to Emperor Yuan Tai in the imperial court, one could see their unwillingness.
It was fine if Emperor Yuan Tai was not clear-headed, but many officials were also confused.
However, this was also the result that Lu Yu wanted.
As long as Emperor Yuan Tai followed the route that Zhao Gao had arranged for him, he would only sink deeper and deeper.
In the end, he couldn't even crawl out.
After all, Lu Yu knew the wild ambitions of the Northern Barbarians better than anyone else!
If it wasn't for the fact that Emperor Yuan Tai had a master behind him, Lu Yu wouldn't have needed to lie low for so long.
But it didn't matter.
Lu Yu could afford to wait.
From the moment he obtained the check-in system, Lu Yu had already made up his mind to stay alive until the end.
However, no matter how hard he tried to convince himself.
He thought of the Great Zhou territory that he had sworn to protect, but now, the barbarians had swaggered in with their troops.
Lu Yu was still furious.
At this moment, a small black snake crawled out of Lu Yu's collar and stuck out its forked tongue.
After the little snake swallowed and digested the Nine Suns Essence Cultivating Pill, it had clearly grown a little.
The scales on its body became even brighter, and its body size also increased by 30%.
At this rate, he would probably shed his skin for the first time soon.
Lu Yu had yet to figure out the ability of the Heaven-Devouring Python, Xiao Hei.
However, from the name, it was definitely related to devouring.
At the moment, it was too small to see it. He would feed it for the time being. He believed that Little Black would be able to show its ability soon.
