Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005

Emperor Mingde was right. After half a month of military parade, envoys from various countries had their own scales in their hearts to weigh their strengths and see which way the wind was blowing.

Especially for small countries and tribes, which have long relied on big countries for survival, they will pay tribute to anyone. The most important thing is not to be attacked by a powerful country and to get some protection from a powerful country.

Now that they have a deep understanding of all aspects of the Northern Wing's military strength, coupled with the Northern Wing's tough attitude towards Wan State, their confidence has greatly increased, and they have all expressed goodwill and alliance with the Northern Wing.

Some envoys had to return to their country to report to their lord, while some tribal leaders were able to make their own decisions and signed friendly agreements and alliances on the spot, which made the Wan Kingdom very angry.

Even among the countries led by Wan, most of them wavered and had ambiguous attitudes, unwilling to offend the northern wing or Wan.

Keeping them neutral is also one of the North Wing's foreign policies. Although they are not friends, they are not enemies either, so they can coexist.

Surprisingly, Liang State also showed its intention to get close to Beiyi. You should know that Liang State Ambassador Wu Xianwen and Wang Yi are very important in Liang State, and their statements will basically not change after returning home.

With the precedent of Liang State, the positions of Chi State and Wusong State also changed significantly.

The so-called front of nations had basically collapsed by the end of the northern wing parade.

Ever since the Wan Kingdom lost several secret guards and failed in the assassination attempt, it has become quiet and dared not to act wildly in the capital of Beiyi.

At this point, the front of various countries led by Wan has become an empty shell. This is the result of national strength.

But Emperor Mingde knew that this was due to the good deployment of the troops by the prince consort, and that the inside was far from as glamorous as it seemed on the surface.

So every time he sighed, he would frankly say that the prince consort's strategy was good.

The northern wing is still too weak. It needs to lie dormant and secretly strengthen its national strength to truly be worthy of the level of a great power.

The military parade lasted for half a month, and Emperor Mingde was proud of himself in his anxiety. He was in high spirits every day, full of energy.

His favorite thing to do is to summon his son-in-law into the palace... and chat.

It's the same few sentences over and over again. To sum up, the process is as follows: praise the son-in-law, compliment the son-in-law, win over the son-in-law, please the son-in-law, and finally wish the son-in-law was his own son.

No wonder he was pushing Cen Yuan like that, it was because... this young man was the little emperor of the neighboring country.

Even if he is a former emperor, he is still an emperor, and it is very likely that he will fight back and ascend the throne again one day.

Now the envoy of his motherland is in the capital of Beiyi. Will his son-in-law run away with the envoy? Will he just take his daughter and the whole family and leave?

These were the worries that always troubled Emperor Mingde.

Cen Yuan was so busy that she hadn't been home for several days. How could she have known that the old emperor was like a woman, thinking about these trivial things all day long? She was very annoyed, "Can you find someone else to chat with? I'm very busy."

"You have to eat even if you are busy." Emperor Mingde could hear his son-in-law's disgust, but he didn't care at all. "Today is not a wasted chat. I asked Xia'er to join us."

Upon hearing this, Cen Yuan couldn't bring herself to refuse to have dinner together.

Eunuch Qi made tea for the two of them and left the room. Then he saw the Second Prince Xiao Yong and Princess Yunlan coming hand in hand.

He looked friendly and smiled, "Meet the Second Prince, meet Princess Yunlan."

Xiao Yong glanced at the closed door of the imperial study and said, "Hello, Eunuch Qi. Is father still talking to someone?"

"Yes," Eunuch Qi did not hide it. It was no secret anyway. "The Emperor summoned the Minister of the Northern Propaganda Department to discuss matters."

Xiao Yong suddenly realized, "Oh, Prince Consort Haiyan is here, and he must have important state affairs to discuss. My brother and I will come to pay our respects to the Emperor later."

Princess Yunlan also nodded slightly to Eunuch Qi.

When the brother and sister turned around, they saw a young eunuch and a young girl walking towards them in the distance.
