Chapter 565 Do as the Romans do
As it turns out, it doesn't count.

Suzaku Kingdom is a small frontier country located to the west of Great Qi Kingdom, and a few years ago, when Daqi Kingdom was at war with other countries, it got involved.

The land area of ​​Suzaku Kingdom is very small, but only a quarter of the total area of ​​Great Qi Kingdom, and its population and economy are far less than that of Great Qi Kingdom.

Back then, they wanted to attack Daqi from behind, invade the country, and rob resources, but were beaten and killed by King Heshun all the way back.

King Heshun led his troops to attack the imperial court of Suzaku Kingdom, hacked to death His Majesty of Suzaku Kingdom at that time, and chopped off all those members of the royal family and ministers of Suzaku Kingdom who had wolfish ambitions.

Then he found a kind-hearted puppet who only wanted to attach himself to the Great Qi State and was willing to be a vassal in front of the Great Qi State to help him to the throne, and helped the puppet emperor to silence the court of the Suzaku Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, the puppet emperor of the Suzaku Kingdom dispatched most of the troops of the Suzaku Kingdom to be dispatched by the Daqi Kingdom in accordance with the regulations.

If it weren't for this, the Suzaku Kingdom back then would have been destroyed long ago and became part of the Great Qi Kingdom.

As for why King Heshun didn't swallow Suzaku Kingdom directly and gave them a chance to breathe, it was also forced by the current situation.

Later results proved that King Heshun's approach was correct.

The benefits of keeping Suzaku Kingdom are far greater than destroying them.

The pain and impact brought about by the war were too great. Countless people were devastated. After the Daqi Kingdom repelled the invasion of the neighboring country, it resorted to some means and sent people to sign a treaty of friendly coexistence with the neighboring country.

After that, everything gradually stabilized.

As Da Qi's dependent country, Suzaku Kingdom, every year according to the agreement, it will pay Da Qi a certain amount of spices, wood, silk and other products they are good at.

In addition, there is a certain amount of friendly tribute, which is the so-called protection fee.

As for the appearance of the people of Suzaku Kingdom, they are also the same as the people of Great Qi Kingdom, with yellow skin and black eyes, nothing special, but there is a big difference in clothing.

This point was discovered by Bai Jinli when he participated in the hunt.

The hunt was postponed for four days. During these four days, the palace of Daqi Kingdom had been receiving the envoys of Suzaku Kingdom and had friendly conversations with them.

I heard that the specific process is nothing more than the envoys of Suzaku Kingdom offering gifts, beauties, and tribute to Da Qi.

Then, he took the opportunity to propose that Suzaku Kingdom surrendered to Da Qi wholeheartedly, and it has not been easy in recent years. They are willing to send their country's most honorable princess to marry them, so that Da Qi Kingdom can reduce their tribute request, and proposed a series of conditions.

However, before the envoy of Suzaku Kingdom could finish his words, he was pushed back by the officials of Daqi Kingdom.

Then, there was a three-day exchange and discussion.

In the end, Shangshu of the Ministry of War proposed that the people of Suzaku Kingdom should witness with their own eyes the strength of the Daqi Kingdom's soldiers, and then see if they will continue to expand?

It's nothing more than a dependent country, so where is the qualification to negotiate terms?How dare you even think about sending a princess to make Da Qi give up so many benefits?dream.

After beating the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom in all directions, the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom finally stopped all kinds of thoughts, chose to be obedient and obedient, and expressed that they would definitely bring back His Majesty's wishes.

On the fourth day, it was a polite and hypocritical scene, accompanied by people from the Ministry of Rites.

After a while, the people of Suzaku Kingdom heard that His Majesty Daqi Kingdom originally wanted to go hunting, but the hunting was delayed because of their visit, so they expressed that they also wanted to participate in the hunting of Daqi Kingdom, and begged for His Majesty's permission.

In the end, His Majesty Qi Heng of the Great Qi Kingdom agreed, and ordered that all princes in the royal family and sons of all ministers can participate in this hunting, including all female relatives.

Then, after Bai Jinli appeared at the hunting scene, he saw the legendary envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom, and was instantly disappointed.

She thought she would meet that kind of crooked nut with a high nose bridge, blue eyes, and an exotic style, but she didn't.

However, disappointment is only momentary.

When she thought that the big hunting scene was about to start, she felt a little excited in her heart.

She came with Yan Shi and Bai Meng and sat together.

Of course, Zhao Ranran and Zhao Luomu, as well as Shen Wan and Shen Zhiyuan also appeared.

Because the hunting has just begun, His Majesty has not yet appeared, let alone announced the hunting rules for this year, so everyone who came to the hunting grounds behaved around their prescribed range.

Bai Jinli just glanced at them from a distance, made eye contact with them, and then turned his gaze around.

You don't know if you don't look at it, but Bai Jinli was taken aback.

She has always said that the capital city is a magical place, and officials are running everywhere, but she didn't find out much before.

It wasn't until today that her eyes opened wide.

There were not too many officials, their sons, and their wives who came to participate in the hunting, and it was dazzling to see.

This is still within the limits.

Only Beijing officials with a rank of five or above are eligible to participate in the hunt.

"Sister-in-law, do you know all these people?" Bai Jinli couldn't help asking Yan after observing the surroundings.

Yan Shi is the Princess of the Princess who was personally appointed by His Majesty, and she is also a superb embroidery worker, so she is quite famous in the capital.

It didn't take long to come, and several women came to say hello to Mrs. Yan to make things common.

For those people, Yan was able to call out their identities and greeted them with a friendly social smile.

It was also because of seeing these that Bai Jinli couldn't help asking her this question curiously.

"I don't know all of them, and I can guess some of them." Yan said with a light smile.

When she first returned to the capital, her mother had been telling her about the relationship and rules of the characters in the capital.

Later, there was a special education nun who told her how to recognize people, what kind of temperament people in the noble circle in the capital are, how people from which family should get along with each other, and so on.

It also took her a long time to write down those things.

Not only her, but even her daughter Bai Meng was forced to learn those.

"That's amazing!" Bai Jinli couldn't help clicking her tongue.

They sat in their respective places and didn't wait long when they heard someone shouting that His Majesty had arrived.

For a moment, all the people present knelt down on the ground, welcoming the arrival of the emperor.

Bai Jinli's position was not too far away, but not too close. She took advantage of the opportunity when His Majesty asked everyone to stand up and secretly looked up at the emperor.

Well, in the end, she felt that the emperor was worthy of being an emperor, and that he really had the aura of a superior person, and his aura was overwhelming.

In addition, the emperor seemed to be a beautiful uncle, and the members of the royal family standing behind him were also very good-looking.

After His Majesty took his seat, they took their seats one after another.

As for the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom, there seemed to be a total of three to forty people, sitting four or five meters away from His Majesty's seat.

His Majesty Qi Heng first started with a beautiful scene, and then encouraged all the young talents present to participate in this hunt.

It also added a certain amount of color to the hunting, so as to boost the morale of those people.

After His Majesty finished speaking, the princes, all the young courtiers who knew a little bit of martial arts looked excited and wanted to participate.

For them, this is a great opportunity to show themselves, and they must not let it go.

Once you perform well in hunting, you will definitely be able to enter the eyes of His Majesty, and when the time comes...

When the hunt officially started, His Majesty Qi Heng also went to change his clothes, and called King Heshun, Prince Mu, and the crown prince to accompany him to experience it.

The queen and the princes waited in place and maintained order.

At this time, Feng Li, the second prince of the Suzaku Kingdom's envoys, also stood up and volunteered to join in.

In the end, His Majesty allowed him to join.

A group of several people got on their horses and entered the range of the hunting ground under the secret protection of the Imperial Forest Army.

After His Majesty left, the oppressive atmosphere at the scene was relieved immediately, and the people who came to participate in the hunting started talking back and forth, left and right.

After all, it was not a serious scene, so the queen sitting on the top seat did not get angry, and still looked as usual.

At this time, the woman with outstanding appearance and high temperament sitting in the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom stood up, bowed her head and saluted, and then spoke.

"Dear Empress, Qinghuang has a suggestion. I don't know if I can say it or not?"

"Oh? Princess, but it doesn't matter." The queen looked over curiously.

Not to mention the queen, because Princess Suzaku stood up to speak, almost everyone in the hunting ground focused their attention on it.

Naturally, Bai Jinli was no exception.

The princess of the Suzaku Kingdom was wearing a flamboyant rose-red exotic costume, a belt with a ring of jewels on her waist, and a princess hat on her head, like a headdress full of pearls and fragrance.

But it means more expensive and refined than that.

"Qinghuang thinks that all of us sitting here are just waiting, so we might as well have some fun while waiting."

"Huh? The princess continued."

"I heard that there are many talents in the Great Qi Kingdom. Qinghuang liked martial arts since he was a child, so he learned some horseback riding and archery skills from the emperor's brother. Even if he is idle now, Qinghuang wondered if he could ask your country for advice?"

"Princess, what do you mean, you want to compete on horseback riding and archery with my female relatives from the Daqi Kingdom?"

The dignified princess of the Suzaku Kingdom, with a body of a thousand gold, doesn't cultivate her body well, so she actually likes these things?

Most of the women in Daqi State are as gentle as water, and they were raised in the back house since they were young. They learned some piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, etc., knew martial arts, horseback riding and archery... not many.

If it is a competition, it is also possible, but you cannot lose.

If you lose, it's not just about losing, it's about the face of Da Qi.

But if they directly refused, it would appear that they were afraid of the Great Qi Kingdom, and were afraid of the little Suzaku Kingdom.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help saying: "Princess, I have heard your suggestion, but I think that it takes some time to prepare for horseback riding and archery."

"Since the princess finds it boring, she can do as the Romans do, and play throwing pots."

"Putting the pot?" Feng Qinghuang's face was full of puzzlement.
