Chapter 399: A naked person!
Three days later.
Under the gaze of the Sakura Emperor who is looking forward to it day and night.
Makoto Ito, the current Prime Minister of Sakura Country, finally returned to the Imperial Palace from his visit to Dragon Country.
in the hall.
Makoto Ito, who was kneeling and gasping for breath, had not yet caught his breath when he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor.
Soon, the figure of Sakura Emperor walked out from the back of the hall.
The first thing he asked when he saw Ito Makoto was a hurried question.
"Ito Ai-sama, how is it?"
"Did the Dragon Nation... accept our apology?"
Upon hearing this, Ito Makoto took a deep breath and said with a happy face.
"May Amaterasu bless you!"
"Your Majesty, I have lived up to your trust in my mission to the Dragon Kingdom this time."
"Longguo not only accepted our letter of credence, but also our apology."
"Even the compensation offered by our Sakura Country was generously stated to be unnecessary..."
"Their leader even said that our Sakura Country and Dragon Country are neighbors separated by a narrow strip of water, and we should continue to maintain good relations..."
Upon hearing this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Sakura Tianhua's old face.
The smile blooms like a chrysanthemum.
"Ito Ai-sama, you did a great job! Great job!"
"Your actions will at least preserve peace in Sakura Country for thirty years!"
"I really don't know how to thank you!"
At this moment, the Sakura Emperor, who heard the news, was overjoyed and his eyebrows flew up with joy.
Well known.
Although the Long Kingdom is both vindictive and resentful.
But he has one good thing, that is he does what he says!
Since he accepted his apology today, it means that even if the Dragon Country becomes stronger in the future, it will not retaliate against the Sakura Country.
What he didn't expect was that Longguo was so generous that it didn't even want war reparations.
At this moment, Emperor Sakura realized that the things passed down from his ancestors were really useful.
Bowing and apologizing can really solve all problems...
However, just when the rulers and ministers of the Sakura Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief at the Dragon Kingdom's reply.
Inside the hall, a foreign minister named Sakura, who was quite knowledgeable about the history of Dragon Country, suddenly changed his expression.
He said it hesitantly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prime Minister..."
"Although I don't want to spoil the fun, but... aren't you two being happy a little too early?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Emperor Sakura frowned and looked at his Foreign Minister.
"Longguo has already accepted our apology. Could it be possible that they would go back on their word?"
"If the Dragons accept our war reparations and mock Prime Minister Ito's visit, then I will still think that the Dragons are truly interested in reconciliation with us."
"However, Longguo's behavior this time is too abnormal, especially insisting on emphasizing the word 'separate strip of water'..."
"I am afraid……"
"What's wrong with being close neighbors? Isn't this a good way to describe close neighborhood relationships?"
Hearing this, Ito Makoto on the side asked somewhat indignantly.
"For the country of Dragon, this word is indeed a good word."
"But now they've told us, and that's not so good."
Upon hearing this, the Foreign Minister of Sakura Country stammered and explained.
"'Yi Yi Dai Shui' is a Chinese idiom, originally meaning a narrow body of water like a strip of clothing. It later became a metaphor for two very close places separated by only a narrow strip of water."
"This idiom, however, comes from the Southern History: Chronicle of Emperor Chen Houzhu: 'Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said to his Minister of State Gao Ying: 'I am the parent of the people. How can I be so close to them as to not help them?'"
"During the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the southern Chen State were separated by the Yangtze River. After Yang Jian, the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, deposed Emperor Jing of Zhou and established the Sui Dynasty, he was determined to destroy the southern Chen State."
Yang Jian once said, "I am the father and mother of all the people of this country. How can I watch the people of the south suffer and not save them just because there is a Yangtze River as narrow as a belt between us?"
"The year after he said this, Emperor Wen of Sui sent troops south to unify the Dragon Kingdom."
"And now the Dragon Nation is using this allusion to implicate us. Their intention is self-evident..."
After hearing the Foreign Minister’s explanation.
Makoto Ito and Sakura Emperor, who were originally very happy, were completely stunned as if they were struck by lightning.
In fact, after several seconds, the Sakura Emperor collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away.
The last bit of hope in his eyes vanished.
It turned out that his hope of making Longguo give up the idea of revenge against his country with a letter from the country had failed!
Although Longguo has accepted his apology on the surface, he has already hated his country to the core and is determined to get rid of it as soon as possible!
In fact, if you put yourself in their shoes, the Emperor of the Sakura Country will understand.
The Sakura Country and the Dragon Country have been more than just brotherly countries since ancient times.
Since the Han Dynasty in Longguo, the people of Sakura have continuously sent people to Longguo to learn Longguo's advanced culture.
It can be said that if there had not been the influence and education of Confucian civilization brought back from the Dragon Kingdom.
The level of development of cherry blossoms is probably similar to that of some Southeast Asian countries.
Not to mention being a dog for the Eagle Sauce, I'm afraid there is not even a chance for them to be a colony or a blood bag for the Eagle Sauce.
And Long Guo was not stingy with this younger brother who had been learning from him.
Basically, everything that can be taught has been taught.
It can be said that the Dragon Kingdom is both a teacher and a leader for the Sakura Kingdom.
But how did the Sakura Kingdom repay the Dragon Kingdom?
In order to seize a foothold on the mainland, as long as Xiaoying becomes strong, she will inevitably covet the fertile land of Longguo, and repay kindness with enmity by launching an invasion war!
Faced with such an ungrateful person, Longguo has already given him two chances to reform.
But each time, he was able to cause greater damage to the Dragon Kingdom with a more ferocious attitude.
This time, the Dragon Kingdom was almost destroyed.
This deep hatred has already seeped deep into the soul of every Dragon countryman.
Such deep hatred cannot be washed away unless it is washed away with equal blood!
How could it be possible that they could just brush it off with a short letter and a small amount of war reparations?
