After a night of lingering together, the relationship between the two seemed to be sublimated. You and I were so happy.*

On the contrary, the government and the public in the Eastern Women's Kingdom are feeling uneasy. They are a nation with very unique characteristics, and they are completely opposite to any surrounding countries. Now they have to integrate into a new and unfamiliar world.

In a big family, if you say you don't feel uneasy, that's impossible.

The next morning, Li Qi was invited to the palace again.

But what is different from before is that this time Queen Dolma chose to meet with Li Qi alone. The location was in the imperial study room on the fourth floor. In fact, there was no imperial study room originally. After all, all the texts of their tribe could not be written together.

One page, let alone a book.

But after Queen Zhuoma came to the throne, she liked the culture of China very much, so the imperial study was filled with ancient Chinese books.

"It seems that the leader of Zhuoma is very familiar with our culture of the Song Dynasty!"

Li Qi sat opposite Queen Dolma, looked around, and said with a smile.

Queen Zhuoma still said coldly: "The Privy Councilor is right. I have been very fond of your country's culture since I was a child, especially the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and I also learned from it the principles of governing the world with benevolence."

Before she could finish her words, Li Qi said: "Unfortunately, what you saw is different from what you learned."

This person's reaction was really fast. Queen Dolma was a little stunned, nodded and said: "That's exactly it."

Li Qi smiled again and said: "Actually, why don't you look at it from the other side? If the emperor didn't have a benevolent heart, he wouldn't have sent me here. In fact, conquering your Dongnu Kingdom is just a snap of the fingers for me, the Song Dynasty.

matter."

Queen Dolma said: "But I don't think the Privy Council's method is any different from conquering by force. In the end, you still have to force us to surrender to you."

Li Qi shrugged and said: "Whatever you say is what it is. Since I came to your Dongnu Country, I have answered this question countless times. I don't want to answer it again. Let's get back to business. You should have discussed the result.

."

Queen Zhuoma nodded and said: "We all in the Eastern Lady Kingdom feel very sorry for the Privy Councilor's proposal---"

Li Qi then said first: "Are you going to say that your ministers have expressed their opposition one after another and would rather die than surrender and fight us to the end? Then you will show a determination to refuse to obey."

momentum."

Queen Dolma was stunned and speechless after saying this.

Li Qi smiled and said: "But in the final analysis, this is just your last effort, and it is just a test of our bottom line. I will tell you very, very clearly again that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. I

What I want to say was made very clear yesterday, and you will definitely agree to it. It is just a matter of time. The reason why your ministers objected is because they are worried that their power will be affected, but there is no need to use all the money they have.

Are the tribesmen here to make this fearless resistance? I don’t think it is really necessary. If this matter continues to be delayed, it will not be good for you or me."

This is the difference between women and men. Women are delicate in mind, but always hesitant when things happen, while men are more straightforward, like the Gaochang Uighurs. They know that the Jin Kingdom will never come back empty-handed, nor do they come here empty-handed.

If you scare them, you can't defeat them. Why bother? Those who surrender will be very straightforward.

In comparison, the problem of Dongnv Kingdom is much clearer. If it were other tribes, they would have surrendered a long time ago. It would be uncomfortable to hang them up like this, but they always procrastinate. Now Li Qi has come to talk to them in person.

After talking about it, they still responded with fantasies, which made Li Qi a little impatient. He had too many things to do now and couldn't spare much time to spend here.

However, Li Qi's aggressive momentum made Queen Dolma breathless. She really wanted to slam the table and die together, but is she qualified to die together?

Not at all. It would be too easy for the Song Dynasty to destroy their Dongnu Kingdom, and they couldn't even ask for a single reinforcement because they were surrounded by the forces of the Song Dynasty.

After struggling for a long time, Queen Zhuoma sighed softly, as if she was discouraged. He had made a last-ditch effort, but Li Qi really did not give her any illusions, and said: "Okay, our Dongnu Kingdom is willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

I hope the Privy Councilor can keep his promise yesterday."

Li Qi smiled and said: "It's not that I keep my promise, and you have to trust the court. To put it bluntly, you are just frogs in the well now and don't know what the outside world is like. If possible, you should go to Bianliang or Hangzhou to see it."

Zhuoma nodded and said: "If I have the chance, I will definitely go." At this point, she paused and suddenly asked: "By the way, Privy Councilor, have you met my sister?"

Li Qi was stunned and said: "I've seen him before, so I recognized the wrong person yesterday."

Zhuoma said: "Then what do you think of my sister?"

Li Qi snorted and thought to himself, this is the essence of your question. You are twins. If I say she is not beautiful, doesn't it mean that you are not beautiful? He said: "Very beautiful and smart."

Zhuoma said: "If the Privy Councilor likes my sister, I would like to betroth my sister to the Privy Councilor. Is that possible?"

"Wha---what?"

Li Qi's eyes bulged and he shook his head hurriedly: "No, no."

Zhuoma said: "Could it be that the Privy Councilor looks down on my sister?"

"This is not a question of whether you look at it or not."

Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I don't understand why you always like to play this trick. I know what you mean. If we get married, then you will think that you have support in the court. Are you doing this?

Make plans for the future.”

Zhuoma remained silent, acquiescing.

Li Qi was the first person in the Song dynasty, and could also be said to be the number one person. However, the Dongnu Kingdom was uneasy about the prospect of surrendering to the Song Dynasty. They thought that if they got married, Li Qi would definitely help them and the court would not exploit them.

they.

Li Qidao: "Let's put it this way, no matter whether there is a marriage or not, what the court will do will still be done. This is related to the policy of a country and cannot be decided by me alone, so you must not think too much."

Just kidding, you have to know that the King of Xixia was even planning to betroth his most beautiful daughter to Li Qi, who was said to be the most beautiful woman in Xixia, but Li Qi also rejected him. He didn't want his backyard to be full of political factors. Besides, Li Qi rejected it.

, he no longer has this idea. All the women in his family are as beautiful as flowers, and he has never had the chance to take a good look at them. Every time they meet, it is like meeting them for the first time. He feels that he is wasting those beautiful faces. As a businessman, this

It's not allowed.

Zhuolma suddenly asked: "What if I don't care about official business?"

"That won't work either." Li Qi said, "My tutor is very strict."

Zhuoma was surprised and asked: "Tutor?"

Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "Actually, my family is also full of feminism."

Zhuoma was stunned for a moment. Suddenly her eyebrows raised, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but unfortunately she still didn't smile, and said: "This---this really surprises me."

Li Qi waved his hands and sighed: "There's nothing surprising. This is all my own fault. What kind of show of hands is there? There are far more women than men in the family, which has led to my status getting worse and worse. Alas. Family scandals cannot be made public. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. No.

Just mention it.”

When Zhuoma saw Li Qi's refusal, he knew that the marriage was out of the question. He said: "In that case, I can't force the Privy Council to do it. Oh, I can't force it either."

Li Qi nodded gratefully and said, "Well, let's talk about surrender."

Zhuoma nodded.

Next, the two of them discussed the subject of submission in detail. In fact, Li Qi had discussed this matter with Zhao Kai many times. In order to preserve the characteristics of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, both Zhao Kai and Li Qi thought that their names should be preserved and they would just change their names.

Dongnuzhou.

Not only that, but also to create a very distinctive women's state, allowing all officials in Dongnvzhou, including yamen officials, to be women. As for whether men will appear in the political circles of Dongnvzhou, let nature take its course.

Not reluctantly, nor forced.

In addition, Li Qi also plans to spend a year to establish four colleges in Dongnu Prefecture to comprehensively popularize Han culture here. As for the teachers, they will be transferred from the Song Dynasty, and all of them will be women.

Li Qi then explained in detail the three departments of the Legislative Yuan, the Judicial Yuan, and the Commerce Bureau.

After such an explanation, Queen Zhuoma gradually accepted this fact, because to a certain extent, the Song Dynasty court was very likely to preserve their customs, which was a kind of respect.

After the conversation, Li Qi stood up and left. He knew that Queen Dolma had to tell her courtiers about the result. They had already reached the door. Li Qi suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, Chief Dolma,

I have a personal question I’ve been meaning to ask you.”

Zhuoma subconsciously said: "What's the problem?"

"Are you born unable to laugh?"

"ah?"

Zhuoma looked at Li Qi in astonishment.

"Pretend I didn't ask."

Li Qi chuckled, turned around and walked out of the door.

"Laughing? How can I laugh at a time like this?"

Dolma pondered for a moment and shook his head lightly.

.......

When he came outside, Li Qi suddenly saw a familiar figure standing not far away, looking at the empty beauty in front of him. He frowned and thought to himself, no, she was in there just now? He walked forward and waved:

"Xiao Wang Zhuolin."

This woman is really Zhuo Lin.

Zhuo Lin glanced sideways and looked at Li Qi coldly without saying a word.

Sure enough, she should have been in there just now. Li Qi chuckled and said: "If you look at me like this, it will easily make people think that I owe you something, but I don't owe you anything."

Zhuo Lin still said nothing.

Li Qidao: "If you don't speak, then I have to leave."

"stop."

Li Qidao: "What?"
