Chapter 244 Empress Dowager Xie Becomes Suspicious
An excited heart and trembling hands are not enough to describe the current state of the ruler and his ministers of Dong Chu.
When Su Jixue put forward those conditions just now, people began to doubt their ears.
And now, the King of War actually proposed to recover the nine states in northern Yan.
This is what every king of Dongchu since Emperor Cheng wanted to do, but is it going to be realized in the generation of Emperor Ming?!
Even Emperor Ming himself couldn't help but sit up straight.
Who doesn't want to leave a name in history? In fact, no matter how good the conditions Su Jixue just discussed were, they only happened during the reign of Emperor Ming.
Taking back the Nine Provinces of Yanbei would benefit more than one generation.
Emperor Ming could imagine how history books would evaluate him. He was definitely the emperor of the restoration.
Now all the kings and ministers of Dongchu are looking at Beisu, waiting for his answer.
Bei Su looked at King Zhan in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this is not something I can decide!"
Yanbei has nine provinces, and this matter is of great importance. Even Beisu would not dare to agree easily.
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Su Jixue was very decisive. In fact, the moment the War King spoke, Su Jixue had already thought about the matter of Yanbei Jiuzhou in her mind.
At first, Emperor Cheng was ambitious and used military force against the northern border during his reign, which resulted in the loss of the nine states north of Yan. From then on, the national strength of Eastern Chu never recovered.
Countless poets from Dongchu wrote poems and cried bitterly about this.
Generation after generation, the people of Dongchu in the Nine Provinces of Northern Yan suffered terribly, until the barbarians of the northern border ceded the Nine Provinces of Northern Yan to Southern Qing.
Now, these people from Yanbei Jiuzhou, who almost forgot that they were originally from Dongchu, finally have the opportunity to return to the embrace of Dongchu in this generation.
In fact, Nanqing occupied the nine states in northern Yan just to prepare for the future annexation of Dongchu.
In reality, the Nine Provinces of Yanbei have no meaning to Nanqing itself.
So, Su Jixue knew that this matter could be accomplished.
Today's Yanbei Jiuzhou is no longer the prosperous city it once was. It has long been in ruins. In the eyes of the people of Nanqing, the people of Dongchu in Yanbei Jiuzhou are no different from those of Dongchu.
Su Jixue didn't say much. She turned around and pushed Zhan Wang back.
"Miss Su?" Bei Su was stunned. Shouldn't things like this be negotiated? Why did Su Jixue leave after saying this and take the War King with her?
The War King proposed a condition, but now Su Jixue is taking this away with him, and the War King has no objection? !
Beisu said that it had no say in the Nine Provinces of Yanbei. Logically speaking, they should not reduce the number of provinces.
Should we say eight states, or six states, or five states?!
How could he just turn around and leave without even talking?
"If you can't make the decision, find someone who can. I'm tired and want to go back and rest." Su Jixue said without turning her head.
The War King allowed Su Jixue to push him out.
"Miss Su, this is not how negotiations are conducted!" Bei Su was almost unable to bear it any longer.
call out--
A hairpin was thrown directly at Beisu, who narrowly avoided it.
Su Jixue didn't even turn around, and said calmly: "A defeated country is qualified to negotiate terms?!"
"If you can accept it, then let it go. If you can't accept it, then stop dreaming."
Su Jixue looked at the night outside the Golden Palace. In the pitch-black night, it was like a giant beast with its endless mouth opened wide.
Her left eye twitched slightly, as if something had happened in this dark night that Su Jixue didn't know about, and it was definitely not a good thing.
This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
There was a hint of refusal in her back. As she was about to leave the throne room, Bei Su said helplessly, "Miss Su, please stay. We can still talk!"
Bei Su knew that Su Jixue was a ruthless person, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless that she dared to turn around and leave.
"Then go and sign a contract with Lord Qin now, and I will return your regent to you!"
Su Jixue said lightly, and turned the War King's wheelchair around again. The two stood at the entrance of the Golden Palace and looked inside.
"Miss Su, this matter is really not..." Bei Su felt that Su Jixue actually wanted to negotiate again to see if the conditions could be lowered.
However, before Bei Su could finish her words, Su Jixue interrupted her: "I will only count to three. You decide whether to agree or disagree."
"But remember, you only have this one chance!"
Su Jixue looked at Beisu with a sneer. This was what Ji Xue had said to Beisu before.
"one,"
Su Jixue stretched out a finger and looked at his former enemy from a distance.
Bei Su's eyes froze.
Because of the distance and the endless dark night behind her, Su Jixue looked a little different from before. It looked like she had a pair of black wings behind her, and her whole body exuded a devilish aura.
Just like someone.
"two,"
Su Jixue stretched out a second finger, and the sneer at the corner of her lips gradually deepened.
Bei Su's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the fear that had once dominated him by Ji Xue reappeared. What Su Jixue said in front of him seemed to be true, just like that witch.
Just as Su Jixue was about to count to three, Bei Su took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Okay, Nan Qing agrees to cede the Nine Provinces of Yanbei!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Dongchu court was in an uproar.
"Is it true that I can actually see the recovery of Yanbei Jiuzhou in my lifetime?!"
"Is this true? If my father knew, he would definitely jump out of his hospital bed!"
“It’s actually true!”
"This Miss Su is truly extraordinary!"
"It's not Miss Su, it's the War King! Don't forget that this was the War King's suggestion!"
……
At this moment, the War King, who was the killing god of the six countries, and Su Jixue, who was originally a useless girl, were directly deified in the hearts of all the officials in Dongchu.
After all, taking back the nine states of Yanbei with just a few words is an unprecedented achievement for Dongchu.
They deserve the highest praise.
Emperor Ming, sitting on the dragon throne, was also very excited. His fingers were tightly clasped on the throne, but his ears were focused on the movements behind him.
After all, the person behind Emperor Ming is the one who can make the final decision in Dongchu now.
Behind the pearl curtain, Empress Dowager Xie's face was no longer ashen. Although she was behind the pearl curtain, she could clearly see Su Jixue's expression just now.
From the beginning to the end, the girl knew how Bei Su would react.
Whether it was speaking, tone, or the rhythm of the intervals, Su Jixue was controlling all of Beisu's reactions.
It was as if she was very familiar with Beisu.
Moreover, just now in the court, Su Jixue was not suppressed by Empress Dowager Xie at all. She was even able to directly counterattack Empress Dowager Xie on a moral high ground. This is not a reaction that ordinary people can have.
Could Su Jian raise such a daughter?
Empress Dowager Xie glanced suspiciously at Su Jian, who was obviously sweating. Ever since Su Jian entered the Dongchu court, Empress Dowager Xie knew what kind of person he was and how to use him.
Such a person cannot teach Su Jixue, not even the Shen family can.
Then, Su Jixue is definitely not simple.
Empress Dowager Xie's fingers unconsciously rubbed the Buddhist beads in her hand. So, who taught her?
Or, who is she?!
