Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 7958



7958 Chapter 7956-

“Your Majesty, the fire Empire’s special envoy requests an audience!”

An official in charge of diplomacy stepped forward and reported,””They said that they must be summoned by Your Majesty today.”

“Impudent! Whether or not His Majesty summoned them, and when he would summon them, was it their place to dictate? Even the Emperor of the fire Empire wouldn’t receive such treatment!”

Instantly, the Prince of the long bang jumped out and berated!

Firstly, he was now the future Emperor’s father-in-law, so he naturally had to protect Liu Ziyu’s authority. Secondly … This matter concerned the fire Empire, so he was somewhat guilty.

The Civil official in charge of Foreign Affairs blinked innocently. He was just passing on a message. Why did it seem like he had committed a great sin?

Liu Ziyu had originally wanted to announce the news of his wedding in public, but he was slightly displeased that he had been interrupted.

He glanced at Lin Yi, who was still looking bored. Seeing that his cousin didn’t say anything, Liu Ziyu waved his hand.”Announce!”

“The emissaries from the fire Empire of Xuanji are here to see you!”

“The emissaries from the fire Empire of Xuanji are here to see you!”

“The emissaries from the fire Empire of Xuanji are here to see you!”

The emissaries of other countries were waiting a little far away, and the shouts were transmitted from the layers.

After a long while, the fire Empire’s emissary strode up to the palace Hall with a dignified expression.

“Fire Empire’s envoy, Tuoba tuo, pays his respects to the Emperor of the Hong Shang Empire!”

The messenger named Tuoba tuo only bowed slightly and greeted Liu Ziyu with a very ordinary etiquette.

Not to mention kneeling, it was completely the attitude of ordinary people greeting each other when they met.

However, Liu Ziyu did not think much of it, but those ministers could not take it anymore!

Immediately, someone jumped out and scolded,””How dare you, Tuoba tuan! You should pay your respects when you see his Majesty! Could it be that the fire Empire’s emissaries are all vulgar and unrefined?”

“Hehe, our fire Empire is naturally a state of etiquette. However, etiquette should only be shown to people with etiquette. What etiquette does your Hong Shang Empire have to speak of?”

Tuoba tuo stood up and said with a disdainful smile,””Let’s not talk about what kind of means you used to steal the territory of the Shanlian Empire. Just the fact that you let an untrustworthy person occupy a high position shows how ridiculous your Empire is!”

Hearing the words “untrustworthy,” Prince long bang’s entire body trembled. Although he was standing, he still felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles!

It was obvious that Tuoba Chou was talking about him!

“Impudent!”

The Prince of the long bang was not the only one in a high position. There were also a large number of ministers of fallen countries who had surrendered and were still in important positions. They automatically began to take their own positions, feeling that Tuoba tuo was scolding them for being treacherous. How could they tolerate it?

These people all rushed out to berate Tuoba tuo, instantly causing the hall to be filled with a foul atmosphere and extremely noisy!

“Silence!”

The Golden Palace guard in charge of maintaining order shouted and cracked the clean whip again. The clear and loud sound covered all the curses and attracted everyone’s attention.

After all the noise had died down, Liu Ziyu looked at Tuoba tuo indifferently and said slowly,””You are representing the fire Empire, so watch your attitude! If you want to start a war, I’m not afraid of you at all!”

Liu Ziyu said the last six words in one breath. Although his voice was not loud, it was deafening.

Even the old officials of the Empire could not help but feel their blood boil!

In the past, the Shanlian Empire and the fire Empire had been at war with each other, but it was difficult to suppress the other. Thus, they had never shown much of a strong side in diplomacy.

Most of the time, they would send emissaries to each other, and then push things around with some useless arguments. When had they ever seen Liu Ziyu’s unyielding attitude?

The bored Lin Yi revealed a satisfied smile. This was how an Emperor should be!

When it was time to be domineering, he would definitely not be afraid!

Lin Yi would be disappointed if Liu Ziyu became the Emperor and had to swallow his anger when someone stepped on his door.

Even if such an Emperor had the stronger blood ghost in his hands, he would not be able to do much!

It was a good thing that Liu Ziyu’s performance didn’t disappoint Lin Yi. At the very least, this was a good start for him to become a qualified Emperor!

“Your Majesty, you’re so bold, but it’s a pity that you can’t scare me!”

Tuoba tuo laughed and looked around indifferently.”The fire Empire wasn’t afraid of the Shanlian Empire in the past, and now they’re not afraid of your Hong Shang Empire either!”

In his opinion, the Shanlian Empire was destroyed in a very strange way. It was destroyed without using more than half of its military forces. There must be something fishy about this.

Now that the Hong Shang Empire was newly established, there would definitely be a period of turbulent transition. The fire Empire wanted to take this opportunity to take a piece of the pie. They would take it as a share of the pie when the Shanlian Empire was destroyed!

“So you’re going to fight? Are you here to declare war on the fire Empire?”

In the hall, a high-ranking general from the Imperial Ministry of War looked at Tuoba tuo with ill intentions, as if he was looking at a delicious prey.

To the high-ranking military officers of the Ministry of War, there was no merit without war!

They had surrendered to the new dynasty and had not made any contributions. They were also worried that they would be purged after the situation stabilized, so they were eager for a big war to give them a chance to make contributions.

Tuoba tuo’s arrogant attitude made the generals of the Ministry of War extremely happy!

Each of them was already thinking about how to fight, and at the same time, they were vigilantly watching each other, afraid that this opportunity would be snatched away by the other.

“Whether or not we declare war will depend on the sincerity of His Majesty the Emperor!”

Tuoba tuo was not afraid at all. He raised his head and looked at Liu Ziyu fearlessly.”Your Majesty, during the era of the Shanlian Empire, someone promised to give the huyue conferred Kingdom to our fire Empire. For this, our fire Empire used a large amount of resources and military strength. Now that the Shanlian Empire has fallen, the huyue conferred Kingdom still exists. Is the agreement still valid?”

Gah!

This time, the Prince of the long bang was not sitting on pins and needles, but was directly roasted on the fire!

At this moment, he was drenched in sweat, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth to explain. The more he said about this kind of thing, the more mistakes he would make!

Tuoba tuo did not mention the Prince of the long bang, nor did he mention that the long bang conferred Kingdom was originally going to merge with the fire Empire. His purpose was to bite off a big piece of fat meat, not to really start a war with the Hong Shang Empire.

The HU Yue conferred Kingdom was that piece of fat meat!

Of course, this was also a test to see where the bottom line of the new Hong Shang Empire was!

If they could really take down the HU Yue conferred Kingdom, that would mean that the Hong Shang Empire was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and would not dare to make a move against the fire Empire!

At that time, the new probing could continue!

Whether it was a conferred Kingdom of the Dragon state or another conferred Kingdom, it would not be a problem for them to slowly nibble away at the other conferred kingdoms or directly launch an all-out war.

“Nonsense! You already know that the Shanlian Empire has fallen, so why are you still bringing up the past? If you want to fight, then fight, why are you talking so much nonsense?”

The people from the Ministry of War could not wait to go to war. No matter what, they would definitely go to war. This had helped the Prince of the long bang out of his predicament.
