Princess Consort Is No Pushover

When the beard heard it, he suddenly snorted, "You, Chu, attacked Dayi fifteen years ago. It is not so much Chu that protects my Dayi, but it is my Dayi who pays tribute to you every year, so as not to It’s just being violated by the State of Chu. This was originally an unequal treaty. My Dayi has never been afraid of the small neighboring countries and does not need to send troops to protect it. Today, I have the mission of a monarch and come to negotiate with your State of Chu! My Dayi claims to the State of Chu again and again, and pays tribute to it is the humiliation of my Dayi people. This question I asked, if your Chu State talents can solve it, my Dayi will continue to claim and pay tribute; if not, then Please the State of Chu withdraw its troops stationed in our Dayi, cancel our vassal and pay tribute, and return our Dayi country to peace."

Luojihu is from Dayi, and he is used to speaking rudely, which is quite elegant.

He wanted to say what he said about paying tribute in exchange for asylum. These tributes were clearly the protection fee paid by Dayi to Chu State, and it was nothing more than protecting Chu State from attacking Dayi.

After all, weak countries have no diplomacy.

However, in recent years, the new king of Dayi Kingdom has tried hard to govern, train soldiers and horses, and its national power has grown stronger. On the contrary, under the leadership of Chu Yao, the national power of Chu State has gradually declined, and even the neighboring Tiansheng State has almost been defeated.

If Chu Xuanchen hadn't existed, the Kingdom of Chu would have been eaten away by the Kingdom of Tiansheng.

The Kingdom of Chu is now being watched by the Kingdom of Tiansheng, and after Emperor Hongyuan succeeds to the throne, the state of Chu's national power is weakened and the treasury is empty.

The people of Dayi are all nomads, they like to eat meat, they are born with good physical quality, have always been brave and good at fighting, are born sturdy, and have infinite fighting power. Now they are not afraid of Chu at all.

Therefore, they no longer want to be "protected" by Chu State, let alone pay tribute to Chu State.

But fifteen years ago, the old king of Dayi State and Emperor Qingyun, the first emperor of Chu State, signed a fifty-year tribute contract.

At that time, the people of Dayi were poor and weak, the old king was greedy for life and fear of death, and the state of Chu was strong. A small country like Dayi really did not dare to provoke Chu, so it was forced to sign this unequal treaty.

Not only did the state stationed the Chu State with soldiers and was constantly threatened, but also paid tribute to Chu a lot of fur, cattle and sheep, silk, yew trees, horses and other things every year.

Later, the young king succeeded. He was courageous and aggressive, tried his best to govern, and worked hard for ten years. He has been working hard to develop the economy and military for ten years. Now Dayi has become the overlord of the northwest, and even the small neighboring countries are afraid of them.

They became stronger, but the Kingdom of Chu became weaker after Emperor Hongyuan took the throne, so of course they didn't want to pay tribute in a low voice.

But he didn't dare to tear up the treaty directly, because he was afraid that people would say that Dayi was not trustworthy. That's why he thought of such a trick to make Chu withdraw its garrison and stop paying tribute to Chu.

"It's really a trifling matter. It is a treaty signed by the two countries. How can you tear it up just because you have one question?" Hong Yuan said coldly.

Now the Chu State's national strength is weak, and even a small country like Dayi State dares to be arrogant in front of him.

The beard glanced at Emperor Hongyuan contemptuously, and said with a beard: "My Dayi Kingdom signed a treaty with Emperor Qingyun, but I didn't sign with your Majesty. Since Emperor Qingyun has died, so many years have passed, There is no need to continue this contract."

"Emperor Qingyun is the first emperor of our country of Chu. It represents the country of Chu. The treaty you signed with him is equivalent to signing with the country of Chu. How can you divide him and the country of Chu into two? Dayi country doesn't talk about credit and doesn't want to pay tribute, so I found such an excuse. People in Chu country always abide by credit and will never do such a contradictory thing." Emperor Hongyuan said solemnly.
