Chapter 695: Pacifying Lingnan
Changsun Wuji said: "His Royal Highness the conditions offered by King Yan are very generous. If the King of Nanyue is willing to surrender, King Yan will confer him with the title of King of Nanyue, but he must go to the capital to accept the canonization. Moreover, the descendants of the King of Nanyue can also
Received the title of hereditary duke."
"As for the wealth accumulated by the King of Nanyue, King Yan did not take any of it. I don't know what he meant."
Gao Shilian thought for a while: "I heard what the king said just now, and it seems that he knows that continuing to fight will not bring good results. You can try to talk about it."
"good."
Gao Shilian did not dare to say too much to Changsun Wuji, as that would definitely arouse Ning Changzhen's suspicion, and he might make a pot of raw rice.
Immediately, he invited Changsun Wuji to come in.
Changsun Wuji immediately entered the palace, and after a while he saw Ning Changzhen. He hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Changsun Wuji kowtows to the King of Nanyue."
Ning Changzhen was also very humble: "Young Master Changsun is a queen of a famous family. Now he is a very popular minister in the Yan Kingdom. He is highly regarded by the King of Yan. Please take a seat quickly." Five
After Changsun Wuji sat down, Ning Changzhen started to serve tea, but he didn't speak for a long time after sitting down, just lowering his head and thinking about something.
Changsun Wuji also found it difficult to speak.
Gao Shilian was even more afraid to say anything.
After a long while, Ning Changzhen suddenly woke up from his meditation and sighed: "Sir, do you know why I established this South Vietnam Kingdom in the first place?"
Changsun Wuji nodded: "I don't know." In fact, he knew that he couldn't say it, because it was clear that this was Ning Changzhen's own question and answer.
Ning Changzhen sighed: "Young master, you don't know something. I really had no choice but to do it. At that time, the world was in chaos and thieves were everywhere. As the Minister of Honglu Temple in the Yu Dynasty, in order to protect myself, I had to organize the local soldiers and civilians to defend themselves. Little by little, it became a success
In the current situation, I have never had the ambition to be king, I was just pushed to the forefront by the current situation."
Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly. He knew that what Ning Changzhen said was half true and half false. For example, when he was the minister of Honglu Temple and was responsible for the vassal affairs, he was inspecting the Lingnan generation. He happened to catch up with the chaos in the world. In order to protect himself, he organized the local
There is nothing wrong with the army and the people resisting the bandits.
Later, he acquired a vast territory, which was unexpected. This does not mean that he had any ambitions.
"Now that the Holy Lord of the world has emerged, King Yan should replace the Yu Dynasty and become the common leader of the world. The Nine-Five Supreme Lord. I am grateful for the way of heaven and do not want to continue to resist. I just don't know how King Yan will arrange for us."
Changsun Wuji hurriedly repeated what he had just said to Gao Shilian, and finally said: "As for the officials under the king's rule, the military generals will follow the king into the court and be granted titles, while the civil servants will continue to stay in office, and each has a financial aspect.
If they receive rewards, King Yan will reward them on a meritocratic basis and treat them equally, so the king can rest assured."
Ning Changzhen nodded repeatedly: "King Yan has always been very trustworthy, and everyone in the world knows it. However, should we ask King Yan to issue an edict first? We also need time to prepare."
"Of course, I will write a letter back right away. The edict will come soon."
Ning Changzhen nodded again: "Well, in that case, I have decided to surrender to King Yan."
"Your Majesty is so upright and honorable. King Yan must like him very much. He will also rely on you very much in the future. Please rest assured." Changsun Wuji stood up and bowed.
A few days later, Qin Hu's edict arrived, and what it said was exactly what Changsun Wuji had promised. Ning Changzhen was relieved.
Ning Changzhen then drafted a message and circulated it to various places, stating that he would disband the army, respectfully invite General Li Jing to move in, and that he would go to Luoyang with Changsun Wuji to meet with Qin Hu.
Three days later, Li Jing's army took over the land of six counties of Nanyue Kingdom, while Ning Changzhen and his generals followed Changsun Wuji northward to Luoyang.
