C1068 The Monarchs Test (1/2)

Yellow was the exclusive color for emperors in the Confucian cultural circles, and the Ryukyu was also the continent's civilized Subordinate States. Of course they knew this principle, but today, King Shang Tai had actually given them the bright yellow Twin Dragon Jade Rings.

Xiao Letian smiled and accepted the jade ring, gently stroking it, and listened to's introduction.

”The jade hoops from the Northern Song Dynasty, the national gifts bestowed to the Ryukyu by Emperor Hongwu … This is the symbol of your Ryukyu! You actually gave it to me? ”You are truly willing …” Xiao Letian laughed meaningfully, and stared at Shang Tai as if he had seen through his soul.

Shang Tai knew that he could not hide his little thoughts from his master. His back was covered in cold sweat, but at this moment, he had to hold on, ”Shang Fu is my Ryukyu Kingdom's reborn parents, if not for Shang Fu, my Ryukyu would have been swallowed by Japan already. Let alone this bright yellow jade ring, even a incense stick might not have been able to protect him …”

”If Shang Fu does not deserve this treasure, no one in the world can, please accept this!”

Wang Huaiyuan, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. He could already guess what Shang Tai was thinking, and amongst the crowd, many of the old subjects of the Ryukyu, who had obtained their titles before Xiao Letian came to the Ryukyu, had reddened eyes, but they still endured and did not dare to cry.

Shang Tai is really plotting something bitter! The Ryukyu was already powerless to fight against Xiao Letian, but what about King Shang Tai? Outside of the Han Qi Emperor who was being controlled by Cao Cao, there was still Uncle Liu waving his flag and shouting for him, but what about King Shang Tai? No reinforcements were willing to protect him in this world anymore, so the life and death of him and this kingdom was in Xiao Letian's hands.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Letian becoming the emperor right now would allow him to receive the congratulations of all the nations on the spot. The millions of citizens would immediately be fired on him to celebrate, the prestige of the prime minister had long ago become a myth.

Instead, Shang Tai decided to use dirty tricks. He released this gift, which represented the power of the Ryukyu, to force Xiao Letian to respond to this sensitive issue.

If Xiao Letian had not thought about annexing the Ryukyu, he would have definitely made a promise and comforted. If Xiao Letian had the intention to annex the Ryukyu, then Shang Tai might as well just surrender. Giving him the national treasure might even change it into a good ending and the wealth of the later half of the generation.

Everyone present gradually understood what King Shang Tai meant, and all of their gazes shifted towards him. Especially the military officers that Xiao Letian had personally brought out, even a fool could understand the look of desire in their eyes.

How they wished for Xiao Letian to take a step forward, to become the first king, and then struggle his way to the continent, and overthrow the Qing Dynasty so that he could become the prime minister.

Emperor! Haven't we all become ministers from the Long Family? Green History Name...

Xiao Letian smirked and placed the jade ring back on the plate. He didn't say that he didn't want it or not, but turned his head to look at Zai Chun: ”Your Majesty, you didn't come empty-handed did you?”

Shang Tai looked at Zai Chun. Zai Chun's face was a little pale, the two eunuchs behind him were both drenched in cold sweat, while Hairy Two was nowhere to be seen.

Zai Chun licked his lips, finally mustered the courage to take out a bright yellow colored edict scroll from his sleeve. ”Master! This disciple is alone outside, without a treasure seal, I can only feel a little filial piety, please accept me as your master! ” After which, he offered it up with both hands.

Xiao Letian did not even take it, and directly pointed to Qing Nation's Han Lin Luo Hao who was in the crowd and said, ”Great Han Lin whose stomach is full of poetic talent, read it! Don't just look at others, you, Luo Hao, are the famous Scholar Han Lin.

Luo Hao's face flushed red. Although he knew the Prime Minister early, he could not be considered as a core subordinate of him. He had been promoting the Journey to the West in the North and South Gang of Great Qing for the past few years.

Since the Prime Minister was able to order his name today, he was so excited that it was as if he was drunk.
