A prostitute: a good wife provoked an evil husband

"Don't worry, I'm no longer interested in Princess Funing, it's just that I'm retreating again and again, how much sincerity do you, Da Zhou, have in making friends with Da Chu?"

The queen was overjoyed when he let go, and hurriedly said: "If there is any condition, your Highness can just ask, as long as Funing is not allowed to get married, it will be fine."

The emperor snorted coldly in anger, and the queen lowered her head and stopped talking.

Ye Qianjin smiled lazily and said: "Since the marriage failed, Da Chu will naturally not let go of Chiyan City. Moreover, this time it is Da Zhou Wuxin, and the Queen Mother promised some benefits earlier. It is true that Zhou Guo issued a document, and it will finally be fulfilled this year, and I am not the unreasonable person who insists on breaking up a good marriage, so this matter, that's it."

The emperor also knew that the marriage would not work out, and it would be difficult for Chiyan City to return to the Great Zhou territory, but this matter cannot be forced, let alone exchanged for Yunxi's happiness, there will always be a chance in the future to snatch back that sitting city, And this is at the expense of a woman's life.

It's just, this extra benefit...what exactly is it?

The emperor looked at the queen sharply, and the queen knew that she couldn't escape, so she whispered: "It's nothing, just open the trade roads of Chishui City to Da Chu, and allow Da Chu to pass through Chishui and go all the way to Da Yue Kingdom." ..."

After hearing this, Ye Qianjin raised her eyebrows again, and looked at the queen amusedly.

The emperor's face has already turned blue, Da Yue lacks iron, Da Chu lacks food, and Da Zhou is in the middle of the two countries, which happens to block the trade routes between the two countries, so that Da Yue's grain and Da Chu's iron can be transferred in Da Zhou. The money earned in a year is not a small amount, since the queen dares to agree to open Chishui City?

Didn't he know that Da Chu had been coveting Chishui for many years?Is this betraying the country?

"Is this the only one?" The emperor's voice was icy cold.

The queen finally got a little scared, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "We supply one hundred thousand stone salt to Dachu every year at a fair price..."

Da Chu is an inland country in the north and lacks salt, while Da Zhou is rich in sea salt and lake salt. Introduced by Zhou, if Da Zhou cuts off Da Chu's salt supply, Da Chu will be in chaos, and the queen... actually betrayed Da Zhou's interests in this way for a daughter! ! !

The emperor's mood could no longer be described as anger, the way he looked at the queen was almost cannibalistic.

Ye Qianjin, however, was still on the sidelines and added lightly: "What are you doing, empress? You can't say something good and change your mind. We have drafted an agreement. Although it is not a document, it is also a contract." Word, since you are too embarrassed to say it, then I will give you a showdown."

As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and read: "Open ten bargaining places on the border between Dazhou and Dachu, allow Dazhou and Dachu to conduct business normally, and Dazhou supplies [-] yuan of cotton to Dachu every year." catties, [-] catties of silk..."

The emperor couldn't listen anymore, the hand holding the teacup was shaking all the time, the queen mother finally couldn't help sneering, and said to the emperor flatly: "Even if Funing married, the dowry was too much, right? Is it worth tearing down the beams and buying tiles in Chiyan City? If things go on like this, the Great Zhou will belong to the Great Chu territory, and a lot of things will be saved.”

Ye Qianjin finally finished reading, but at the end, he turned around and said, "Actually, I am not such a greedy person, and I know that the empress is not in control, so I just mentioned it first and set the conditions. Put it aside for now, and formal negotiations will require your Majesty the Emperor to nod and agree."
