Chapter 179 Persuading to surrender
The emperor did not expect that Prince Jin would bargain with him, and frowned, "What authority do you need?"
"After I persuaded the victims to surrender, the crimes they committed will not be punished as past events." King Jin said solemnly.
Before the emperor could speak, General Xiong started yelling, "No, how can we let bygones be bygones? They killed so many officers and soldiers, and now they hang my mother and my wife and concubines on the tower. They must be killed and shocked."
Others who dare to cause trouble."
The King of Jin didn't even look at him, "Natural disaster is unavoidable. I sincerely ask your Majesty to have mercy on the people's hardship."
"Your Majesty took pity on them, but they didn't know what was good for them and actually dared to cause trouble. Such thugs are no longer ordinary people. There is no need to treat them leniently. They should be killed." General Xiong once again got in front of the emperor and said with a fierce look.
The Minister of War couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Lord Xiong has already found a way to kill the mob, so don't let King Jin go to persuade them to surrender."
As for whether General Xiong can wipe out those people and rescue his mother and his wife and concubines, the Minister of War does not care.
The purpose of military generals to achieve great success is to protect the country, not to massacre unarmed innocent people.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as the saying goes, one thing never bothers two masters. What the mob is arresting is Mr. Xiong's family, and it is natural for Mr. Xiong to save it." Another adult also said.
A smile flashed in King Jin's eyes, and he quickly glanced at the emperor who was sitting behind the dragon table with a gloomy face.
I wonder if he regrets using such a foolish man?
"My lords, please don't say angry words at this time. Solving the problem is the key." The person who said this was the emperor's trusted civil servant.
"Mr. Lin, it's not the two of us saying angry words, it's Mr. Xiong who is messing around here and doesn't want to solve the problem."
"The reason why the victims turned into a mob is all the fault of Master Xiong. He bombarded the west of the city and killed people with firecrackers. Now the King of Jin wants to appease the mob and begs His Majesty to leave it alone. This is to solve the problem and eliminate hidden dangers. But Master Xiong just stopped.
The reason for the repeated obstruction is that Mr. Xiong does not want to solve the problem."
"Master Xiong, you are unfilial to your son, unkind to your husband, and unfaithful to your ministers. You only want to show off your strength and fight. Now you have caused a catastrophe. You still don't repent, and you are still here shouting about beatings and killings."
General Xiong was so scolded by these words that his face turned pale.
The emperor, who had been silent all this time, had no choice but to speak, "Prince Jin, I grant your request."
"Your Majesty is wise." The King of Jin complimented, "Please write down your decree so that I can read it in public so that the people can feel at ease."
There is no basis for what he says. If the emperor talks back while waiting for him to persuade those people, he will be the one who breaks the trust of others, which will be very harmful to his reputation.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that Prince Jin would not be dismissed so easily. He was waiting for him here.
The emperor didn't want to give this decree, but he had to give it.
King Jin went to Xizhimen with his decree.
Under the tower of Xizhimen, officers and soldiers were confronting the victims. King Jin walked over without fear and raised his voice: "I am the current prince of Jin, and by your Majesty's order, I am here to discuss with you heroes how to resolve this matter."
"There's nothing to talk about, get out." A person on the tower said very rudely.
"Do you think this stalemate can last for a long time?" King Jin asked.
The tower was silent, no one spoke.
The King of Jin added: "You are good people. The reason why you occupied Xizhimen to cause trouble is because you were forced by others. I know that all the heroes are innocent, so I am requesting an order from your majesty. As long as the heroes can surrender, the things they have committed will not be forgotten."
Study.”
"Do you really mean what you said?" asked another voice from the tower.
"If the hero doesn't believe it, the little king can go to the tower with the decree and talk to the hero in detail."
"Your Majesty, if you want to go up to the tower, aren't you afraid of being detained by us?"
"If a good man wants to solve this matter, he won't act so unwisely,"
"Your Majesty is so brave, please invite me."
The King of Jin took Cao Jiang up to the tower together.
The incident at Xizhimen soon reached the Jin Palace.
Jiang Changning strictly prohibited his servants from telling the concubine about this, but she was worried and hurried to Xizhimen.
Chang Youzhong saw the carriage with the logo of Prince Jin's Palace approaching, his heart skipped a beat and he hurried over.
With a crash, the car door opened. Chang Youzhong saw Xiulan and knew that it was the princess who was coming. He saluted and said, "I have seen the princess. Please give my regards to the princess."
"Where is the prince?" Jiang Changning asked eagerly.
"I've gone up to the tower, but I haven't come down yet." Chang Youzhong replied.
Jiang Changning frowned, "It's been so long, why haven't you come down yet?"
It had been at least an hour since the news had been sent back to King Jin, and by the time she came to Xizhimen, everything had been discussed clearly, right?
Of course, if the negotiation breaks down, the murderer will be killed.
So King Jin should still be alive now.
Jiang Changning asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the side, where she waited for King Jin to come out of the tower.
After waiting for about half an hour, King Jin came out with Cao Jiang. Chang Youzhong hurried forward, said something to him, and pointed in the direction of Jiang Changning.
King Jin strode over, opened the car door, and saw Jiang Changning holding a hand warmer and shivering, "Why did you come out here in such a cold day? What should I do if I get cold?"
"I came to see how the extremely courageous King Jin broke into the city tower alone?" Jiang Changning said.
"I'm not alone. I brought Cao Jiang with me." King Jin got on the carriage and stretched out his arms to hug the man into his arms. "I know in my heart that there will be no danger."
Jiang Changning groaned, "You know the number, but I don't. What if those people get jealous? I tell you, if you die, I will not be a widow. I will definitely remarry and give your son
Call someone father."
"You're talking nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about?" Prince Jin bit her lip hard.
"Ouch, it hurts." Jiang Changning touched his hand and found blood on it, "You can really bite so hard that it bleeds. Yong Zhou, are you a dog?"
"If I'm not a dog, I'll just bite you to see if you still talk nonsense."
"Who asked you to put yourself in danger?" Jiang Changning glared at him.
"There's no danger, the matter has been resolved." King Jin smiled.
Jiang Changning smiled, "That's good, this matter has been going on for a long time."
"I have to go to the palace, you go back to the palace first." King Jin said.
"Okay." Jiang Changning responded obediently.
"When I come back, I will have a son with you." King Jin teased her.
Jiang Changning blushed slightly and did not answer his words.
I was so excited just now that I didn't know what was going on in my mouth.
When they reached the fork in the road, King Jin got off the carriage and went to the palace.
When facing the emperor, King Jin did not tell the truth and succeeded in persuading him to surrender. The emperor would suspect that he was planning the incident behind the scenes.
"The Xiong family members, let them go first."
"Your Majesty, they promised me that they will no longer hang people on the tower, but they will release them after the matter is settled."
"What are you talking about? I've promised to let bygones be bygones, isn't that enough? Tell them not to go to Longwangshu."
"Your Majesty, they are victims of the disaster and are short of food and clothing. The reason why they are causing trouble is because the people from the Relief Department withheld relief food in order to seize wives."
