After passing through the book, I recruited my deadly rival, the disabled prince

Chapter 322 323 Word Difference

"Secondly, Gu Jiuchen can continue to stay in Xize Country, but Xize Country must be ceded to Donglin Country. Only these two, please choose carefully."

The moment the little eunuch put down the imperial edict, that imperial edict was snatched away by Gu Yi.

He looked at the contents of the imperial decree with a look of surprise, how could this be possible.

Or is it that the people of Donglin Country like to play these word games.

Gu Yi was not the only one who was surprised, everyone present was shocked by this imperial decree.

Wang Zixiong also broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. He was wondering if the second princess had made a typo. How could this be a cession? Is the second princess crazy?

The envoys standing behind Wang Zixiong really wanted to ask Wang Zixiong if there was anything wrong with this edict.

The words "cede" and "subordination" do not seem to have much difference, but once they are placed in front of the national territory, this is the most fatal mistake.

At the very least, a subsidiary can have its own monarch, who contributes some precious things every year, every month, or every festival, and hand them over to his main country to show his respect for him.

At the very least, the country is still in the hands of its own people, and the host country has no right to change any system.

But the word cession is quite different. It means to hand over all the territory of the country, including the people of the whole country, as well as the monarch.

In addition to allowing everyone to live temporarily in this country, all rights belong to the main country.

The difference of one word is enough to cause a war.

So this is why everyone was shocked in place.

Even if everyone knew that they should choose the first option, no one would have thought that Donglin Kingdom would be so bold as to ask Xize Kingdom to cede itself.

Gu Yi circulated the imperial decree to all the courtiers of Xize Kingdom.

All the courtiers who had read the content of the imperial decree had solemn expressions on their faces. Wang Zixiong knew that there was nothing wrong with what was written in the imperial decree.

But now he is not enough to pursue the question of whether Song Nanyi made a clerical error. Now even if the imperial decree is wrong, he must persist.

Otherwise, once this incident happens, not only will Donglin Country lose face, but it will also cause Donglin Country to lose the initiative once.

When discussing the list of envoys, Song Nanyi said that the imperial decree this time is all because Gu Jiuchen fled to Xize Kingdom by himself, so we can grasp this initiative.

If something goes wrong with us in the follow-up, the initiative will return to Nishizawa if we are not careful.

At that time, it will be difficult to handle.

Wang Zixiong didn't know that Song Nanyi had been brainwashing him, instilling the consequences of making mistakes.

So he was able to keep his mentality unchanged until now.

"Dare to ask my lord, is there really no problem with this imperial decree?"

Gu Yi asked.

This problem was not his problem alone, including Gu Jiuchen, the envoys of the Eastern Kingdom, and all the courtiers present.

Countless pairs of eyes stared at Wang Zixiong in unison.

Wang Zixiong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said very calmly: "There is no problem with the imperial decree, please make your choice carefully."

Gu Yi: "Hahahaha!"

Wang Zixiong: "..."

Gu Yi went on to say: "What a Donglin country, it's a bit too courageous. You dare to ask me to cede Xize country to Donglin country, don't your stomachs be burst."

"Are you going to choose the second option?"
