March 26, the fifth year of Shenwu.

Emperor Shenwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued an order to the world, and officially established the government offices of Qian, Guizhou, Guang, Yunnan, Jiao, Su and other 13 prefectures and 253 counties in the southern part of the territory. The whole country was in full swing for a while, and the prestige of Ma Jin increased and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

On the same day, the special envoy sent by the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Shengde, the general manager of Shangjing, and Wuyan Guang, the minister of the royal court, also arrived in Shendu to meet the Emperor of Great Zhou, and brought the letter of the Liao Lord Yelu Qi, intending to marry Princess Changle of Great Zhou as his side room.

On the second day, Ma Jin summoned the envoy of the Liao Kingdom in Ganlu Hall.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Shengde, and the deputy envoy Wuyan Guang, are ordered to see him!" A clear singing voice came from outside the Ganlu Hall.

"Xuan!" Ma Jin sat upright on the throne with an expressionless face and said lightly.

Wang Chengen, who was standing on the right, heard this, hurriedly stepped forward and took a few steps, singing loudly:

"Xuan, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, come to the palace to meet!"

At this time, two middle-aged men wearing leather robes, tall and brown eyes with high noses and brown eyes strode into the hall from outside the hall, walked into the hall and knelt down on one knee. The leader held his fists and said:

"Minister, Wanyan Shengde! I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor on behalf of the Great Liao Dynasty. I wish His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor a blessing as good as the East China Sea, longevity with the heavens, and long life!" He said that he would bow down and continue.

Ma Jin did not let the two stand up immediately, but looked at them coldly, which made Wanyan Shengde and his two bodies feel cold, their hearts tighten, and cold sweats emerged from their foreheads. Wanyan Shengde sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being the master of the most powerful country in the Eastern Region, and even their king is inferior to their power.

Wanyan Shengde knelt there with some trepidation, not daring to do anything. If other countries dared to treat him like this, he might have jumped up and scolded him for being ungrateful.

But in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he dared not surpass it at all. After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty is different from other countries. Its national strength and military strength are even the Liao Kingdom, so he naturally dared not blow up the thorns here, so he could only kneel there honestly.

After a long time, Ma Jin's eyes moved away from the two of them and said lightly:

"Let's flat!"

Wanyan Shengde and the others were relieved and stood up quickly, but they were very unhappy. This time they came to Shendu to show their power to Master Zhou, but they didn't expect that Master Zhou gave them a power to give them a power to Master Zhou first. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel so much that I gritted my teeth in secret, but I didn't dare to show it, but instead became more and more respectful.

As for Ma Jin, he directly saved all the procedures and asked:

"You two come to my Dazhou, what's wrong?"

Wanyan Shengde listened to the Emperor of Great Zhou's inquiry, took a deep breath, bowed and bowed, and then said with a hard heart:

"Go back to His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, our Khan sent us and the other two to Shendu this time, but we came to Shendu for the sake of friendship between the two countries..." When Wanyan Shengde said this, he didn't know what he thought of, and a hint of pleasure suddenly flashed in his eyes. He pulled out a yellow scroll from his arms, held it high above his head and said loudly:

"This is the letter of the country of my Great Khan. In order for the two countries to live in peace, Khan will not launch any wars. He is willing to use 100 cattle and 500 sheep as a betrothal gift to marry Princess Dazhou Changle as his side room, to make friends forever and be close to the country. I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me the kindness..."

When the ministers in the palace heard that the lord of the Liao Kingdom wanted to marry Princess Changle of the Great Zhou as his side room, his breathing was suddenly stagnant. Although Your Majesty doesn't care much about other brothers, he is surprisingly good to this only sister. Perhaps because Princess Changle's childhood experience was too unfortunate, His Majesty felt guilty and was particularly fond of the princess, like a pearl in her hand. She can be said to give whatever she wants and do whatever she wants.

Princess Changle is so favored, how could Your Majesty marry her to a wilderness like the Liao Kingdom? She is not a family member, but just an insignificant concubine. When you listen to the betrothal gifts mentioned by the Liao envoy, you want to marry the princess of the Great Zhou for hundreds of cattle and sheep?

This is purely a naked humiliation to the Great Zhou!

For a moment, the ministers in the palace were full of thoughts and their faces became ugly. However, the emperor had not spoken yet, so they were not easy to have an attack. After all, no one knew what the emperor thought.

If they were asked to choose, it would be too cost-effective to exchange a woman with irrelevant importance for the peace between Zhou and Liao countries. They would never object, so they looked at the high-ranking Emperor and see how he reacted.

At this time, Wang Chengen had quickly walked down the stairs and took the letter of the country over. Then he turned back to the imperial stairs and handed the letter of the country over to the front of the saint. Ma Jin took it and glanced, but did not open it. Then he threw it aside, looked up at Wanyan Shengde and said in a low voice:

"I am not interested in reading your Liao lord's letter. If I don't agree to this marriage, what will your Liao lord..."

Wanyan Shengde saw that the Emperor of Great Zhou was like throwing garbage, throwing their Khan's handwritten national letter aside. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes and said with a fierce look:

"Our Khan naturally has no objection to the peace between the two countries.

It's just that the Emperor's Majesty learned that in recent times, many tribes in our Great Liao territory were a little uneasy and were drooling at the wealth of the Great Zhou. Although our Great Khan was willing to restrain him, our Great Liao territory was too vast, and it is inevitable that some tribes would slander and go south to harass the Great Zhou..."

When the ministers in the hall heard this, their faces changed and became even more ugly. This was simply a naked threat, implying that if the Great Zhou did not agree to the conditions of their king, the Liao Kingdom would immediately raise troops to go south.

"What does the noble envoy mean? Are you threatening me with the Great Zhou?" Changsun Wuji walked out of the Chaole and shouted sternly.

When Wanyan Shengde heard this, he glanced at Changsun Wuji with some disdain, ignored him at all, but looked at Ma Jin arrogantly and said:

"I wonder, your majesty, what are you thinking?"

Ma Jin looked at Wanyan Shengde coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, which made Wanyan Shengde immediately feel as if he fell into an ice cellar, his whole body was cold, and his heart couldn't help but pound wildly.

"Not really, what is Yelu Qi? What do you think of my Great Zhou as? Do you think it is Song State? Do you do whatever you want? Can he bully him at will?

Humph! Just by the millions of mobs in your Liao Kingdom?”

"What are I afraid of? Let me tell you the lords when I go back and tell you that I will personally raise the army and hunt for Liao. I want to see who is the lord of this eastern region!"

Speaking of this, Ma Jin suddenly stood up, glanced at the ministers in the hall, looked at Wanyan Shengde and the others, and said in a deep voice:

"Remember, if the barbarians from all directions dare to violate the power of my Great Zhou Tian, ​​I will destroy the country, destroy the seedlings, and eliminate the seeds!"

"Come!"

"Drag these two people out and blow them out of the world..."
