Chapter 345 Bet
Yan Jin, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but turn his head to look at her: "Imperial sister, what do you want Yufeng Pass for?"
Yan Li said in a light tone: "Because I can't think of a more suitable bet for the time being, I just said it casually."
Yan Jin nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Yan Li certainly didn't say it casually.
Yufeng Pass is indeed the most fertile land in the north of Yan State, with clear water, green grass, and a wide view, which is most suitable for raising war horses.
If you can take that piece of land, not only will you get a piece of precious land, but for Yan State, which has lost the precious land, Prince Dugu Qingyun will become a sinner who is the target of public criticism. After returning, it is hard to say whether he can keep his position as the crown prince.
"The Princess of Jin is so cute." Dugu Xue smiled gently, her smile was charming and moving, "Yan State and Jin State are not neighboring countries, but are close to the South State. Even the Yufeng Pass in the north is only adjacent to Zhao State. What's the use of the Princess getting that piece of land? Do you want to cross Zhao State and build a city at Yufeng Pass?"
When this was said, the envoys of Yan State laughed.
"Yes, the Princess may not know much about the terrain of Yan State, and it is useless to take Yufeng Pass."
"The Princess is still a child. She may have only heard of Yufeng Pass and really doesn't understand it at all-"
"It doesn't matter whether I understand it or not." Yan Li interrupted them, "What's important is whether Prince Dugu is willing to make this bet."
The envoys of Yan State were silent.
Dugu Qingyun frowned and looked at her unhappily.
"Royal sister." Yan Yun suddenly spoke, "Since Yufeng Pass is useless, why bother making this bet? Prince Dugu came all the way here to promote friendly relations with Jin State. We should forgive him and not be too serious."
Yan Li picked up the wine cup and smiled: "I don't seem to be too serious. After all, it was Prince Dugu who proposed the competition. It's not that I have to compete with him. Prince Dugu, don't you think so?"
Dugu Qingyun's eyes turned cold: "If I agree to this bet, I wonder what the eldest princess's prize is?"
"My prize-"
Dugu Ying said: "The prize that the eldest princess wants to offer must be equal to Yufeng Pass, otherwise It's not fair. "
Yan Li said: "Since I proposed Yufeng Pass, you can also propose my bet."
"How long has the princess been back? If we propose it, can the princess make the decision?" Dugu Ying sneered, "Although you are a princess, it is not good to ask for too much. Being too greedy will backfire. If we win your bet, I'm afraid the princess will not be able to explain to the emperor, the queen and the civil and military officials in the court, right?"

"The princess is wrong." Emperor Wen spoke first, "Since the queen and I let Yan Li be the princess, it is enough to prove her weight in Jin. Even if she loses the bet, she doesn't need to explain to anyone."
"Really?" Dugu Ying smiled slightly, "Then I'll be frank. Our bet is simple. I marry the eldest prince of Jin, and my younger sister marries the fourth prince of Jin, so that Yan and Jin can form a marriage alliance, which can also be regarded as the wish of our coming to Jin this time."
Prime Minister Ji frowned: "The eldest son of the royal family has committed an unforgivable mistake and has been deprived of the title of prince. Does the prince of Yan want us to make an exception and forgive the eldest prince in order to form an alliance with you?"
"I didn't make such an unreasonable request for no reason, but as a bet." Dugu Qingyun said, "In the final analysis, the reason is that this is the task given to me by my father. Before coming here, my father didn't know your country The eldest prince has been stripped of his title of prince, but if I fail to complete the task, I will not be able to explain to my father when I return. "
After a pause, he continued: "To be honest, although I am the eldest son of the royal family and have a legitimate right to ascend the throne, the other princes of Yan Kingdom are waiting to find fault with me at any time. If I cannot marry my eldest sister to the eldest son of your country, they will definitely make a big fuss about it when I return. I hope that the emperor and the queen will understand my difficulties. "
Hearing his words, Emperor Wen turned to look at Jiang Yi: "Queen, what do you think?"
Jiang Yi made a somewhat embarrassed expression: "This request is indeed embarrassing, and I still need to think about it. "
"Yan Li, what do you think?" Emperor Wen looked at Yan Li.
Yan Li nodded slowly: "The laws of the country are a very serious matter, and should not be used as a gamble, but Prince Dugu's words are indeed helpless. It's better to listen to the opinions of the three royal brothers and ministers on this matter."
After this, the three princes turned their heads to look at her, obviously surprised that she could say such a thing.
Listen to their opinions?
Since Yan Li returned to Jin, she has been used to doing things on her own and has a very strong attitude. When will she be willing to listen to the opinions of the civil and military officials and the royal brothers?
The sun really rises from the west.
