MTL - My Parents Are Omnipotent-Chapter 405 Persuade Zhao to surrender
After the public trial of the Queen Mother's party was over, Lin Xi had so many files that he had to use a big wooden box to pack and carry them.
He divided the dossiers into categories, one is the dossiers related to the less important party members of the Queen Mother, and the other is the dossiers related to the main members of the Queen Mother's party.
Although all these files had to be sent to Xie Yuan for review, but Xie Yuan really knew how to review them. In fact, only the empress dowager’s party’s main members were guilty.
This is why Lin Xi classified these files first.
"The empress dowager is sent to Huangjue Temple to be repaired, and the others will be dealt with according to the law." After reading the file, Xie Yuan decided on the disposition of the empress dowager's party with two simple sentences.
Lin Xi had expected it a long time ago, so she answered "Yes" and went to deal with the follow-up matters.
After he left, Xie Yuan sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Zongrong, who had been hiding in the southwest and pretending to be dead.
The letter was written by counselors under Xie Yuan's command, and it was a well-organized letter of persuasion.
Yes, Xie Yuan did not ascend the throne immediately, but first focused on Zhao Zongrong who was still occupying the southwest.
Zhao Zongrong had already given up on it a long time ago. The Xie clan was as strong as a bamboo, and the world was returning to the heart. Unifying the hinterland of the Central Plains was the general trend. He knew that he could no longer jump up.
There is also a difference between returning and surrendering. On the one hand, Zhao Zongrong didn’t want to drop the price too much and lose his bargaining chip and high profile with the Xie family.
He struggled back and forth, but he still couldn't figure out a way to surrender that could maintain his high profile without delaying his reaping benefits.
After receiving the letter from Xie Yuan to persuade him to surrender, Zhao Zongrong realized that he could not delay any longer. He recruited counselors and began to discuss how to reply to Xie Yuan.
Surrender is definitely going to be surrendered, but what conditions are put is very particular.
A group of people discussed urgently for nearly two days, and then one of Zhao Zongrong's counselors took the knife and wrote a reply letter to Xie Yuan for Zhao Zongrong.
There are many useless polite words in the letter, but the central idea expressed is very simple.
To put it simply, Zhao Zongrong has two meanings, one is, it’s okay to surrender, I know I have no chance of winning, and the other is, but if you want to take the Southwest without a single soldier, you have to give me enough benefits.
The counselor responsible for helping him deliver the letter, after meeting Xie Yuan, put forward two conditions for Zhao Zongrong, one is to crack the earth and give Zhao Zongrong the Southwest as a fief, and the other is to keep the original team of the Zhao family and let Zhao Zongrong surrender After that, you can still hold heavy soldiers.
Hearing this condition, Xie Yuan and the others were speechless for a while. If you want to crack the earth and seal the king, you also need to hold soldiers and horses. To put it bluntly, isn't this tantamount to asking Xie Yuan to acquiesce in Zhao Zongrong giving him a country within a country!
Thinking of something good, this is it? He Xie Yuan is not a fool!
Xie Yuan took a look with eagerness to try, wishing he could immediately blast the envoy sent by Zhao Zongrong with his mouth to kill something in his own family, and signaled that they could speak freely.
Xie Yuan's loyal fans headed by Lin Xi immediately opened fire, using their magical ability of swearing without swearing, they took turns spraying the envoy sent by Zhao Zongrong in all directions.
The envoys sent by Zhao Zongrong, after listening to the whims of their lord and colleagues, had already anticipated that this would be a difficult deal, and they would be mobbed and attacked. To be honest, they didn't think it was a surprise at all. ┓(`)┏
A group of people brazenly fought with Xie Yuan's advisers, causing Xie Yuan's temples to throb. In the end, Pei Yuanjiang took the initiative to stand up and speak out, blocking Zhao Zongrong's emissary completely speechless.
Zhao Zongrong does hold the states and counties in the southwest, but Pei Yuanjiang also holds the states and counties in the northwest.
Zhao Zongrong did hold tens of thousands of soldiers, but Pei Yuanjiang not only had more soldiers and horses than him, but because he was a frontier army and had been fighting **** battles with foreigners all year round, he was also more capable of fighting than him.
Zhao Zongrong did choose to surrender, but he was forced to choose to surrender only after Xie Yuan wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender. Unlike Pei Yuanjiang, he simply and neatly handed over the northwest land to the Xie family. He didn't raise any conditions with Xie Shi.
In such a comparison, Zhao Zongrong is obviously not as great as Pei Yuanjiang for the Xie family.
If someone like him can crack the earth to seal the king, hold a heavy army, and build a country within a country, then how will the Xie family settle down for Pei Yuanjiang?
From a fair point of view, does the Xie family have to give Pei Yuanjiang a regent?
If it is sealed, this Jiangshan will be surnamed Xie clearly and Pei secretly. Xie Yuan will definitely not be able to bear this situation.
But if it is not sealed, wouldn't the Xie family be treating the hero badly?
Because of negotiating conditions, people with little credit will threaten the lord with bargaining chips, so they can get more preferential treatment than people with great credit but full of sincerity and unreserved. If this behavior pattern is established, the Xie family will not be able to completely Bad atmosphere.
Thanks to Pei Yuanjiang, the counselors under Xie Yuan finally won the debate.
Zhao Zongrong, who originally wanted to crack the soil to seal the king and continue to retain his military power, ended up with the choice of either Xie's army suppressed the country, or he brought his family to Beijing to accept the canonization.
If he chooses the former, then Li Jing and Ye Anlan will be ordered to send troops immediately, and if he chooses the latter, then he must immediately set off from the southwest with his family to the capital to congratulate Xie Yuan on his ascension to the throne, and accept Canonized.
In order to perfectly answer a series of questions that Zhao Zongrong might have raised, the envoy sent by Zhao Zongrong bit the bullet and asked Xie Yuan's advisors carefully how Xie planned to confer Zhao Zongrong.
The counselors of Xie Yuan did not hide it from them. According to Xie Yuan's instructions, they carefully explained Xie Yuan's general plan to the envoy sent by Zhao Zongrong.
In Xie Yuan's plan, Pei Yuanjiang and Zhao Zongrong, who surrendered with a quarter of their land, would give each of them a hereditary throne with a different surname, but the premise was that they had to go to Beijing with their families and live in Xie Yuan for generations. Under the nose of the royal family.
Don’t even think about fiefdoms, let alone kings with different surnames like them, even Xie Yuan’s current brothers, uncles, future sons and daughters, Xie Yuan didn’t plan to divide them into fiefdoms.
Pei Yuanjiang is hard to say about military power, but Zhao Zongrong is definitely out of touch anyway.
Of course, regarding military power, Xie Yuan's counselors would definitely not tell the truth to Zhao Zongrong's envoy.
Although they all saw that Xie Yuan had the intention of reusing Pei Yuanjiang, but in order to prevent Zhao Zongrong from having the idea of comparison, and then produce any moths, Xie Yuan's counselors very tacitly concealed Xie Yuan's appreciation for Pei Yuanjiang meaning.
