1179 If you meet the true monarch, you should return quickly
When the Wei Dynasty sent envoy Xuan to summon Qian Liu to Bianjing to pay homage, Gu Quanwu and Du Jianhui realized that their lord had actually become determined to surrender... Many officials from Wu and Yue also tended to make a surrender faction that proposed to join the Central Plains dynasty, after all, the gap in national strength between the two sides was right in front of them.
What's more, the Wei Dynasty destroyed Wu and Chu, and its power had already spread to the south of the Yangtze River. The Wu and Yue Kingdom remained unmoved at that time and did not take any military action against the expansion of the Wei Dynasty. How could it be the only one after a long time?
But the country and country of Wu Yue were all the ones that we followed our lord and fought with our lives. How could we easily give up people?
Because Gu Quanwu and Du Jianhui, the powerful heroes and meritorious officials of the Wu Yue army, reacted particularly fiercely, and strongly opposed the Wei Dynasty without any resistance. They also severely denounced the ministers who had already revealed the meaning of suggesting surrender to Wei, which was like selling their owners for honor, which suppressed the voice of the surrender faction in the Wu Yue court.
Although Qian Liu knew the current affairs and the general trend, he was also the founding king who immediately conquered the world. He could not be too cowardly and hesitated about the decision to directly surrender to Wei... In addition, Gu Quanwu and Du Jianhui and other old subordinates tried their best to resist the country and surrender to the Central Plains. If his most loyal ministers shouted out the jokes of "I am about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first", Qian Liu's old face would be really out of the way... So Wu Yue could not surrender immediately, and it would inevitably have to fight a few battles with the Wei Dynasty.
But Qian Liu is now talking about the old saying, Gu Quanwu knows that I have tried it, but the Wei Dynasty is indeed invincible... If his lord is unwilling to surrender, Gu Quanwu said that even if I am broken into pieces, I will die in the name of Quanzhen. But now the king has expressed his wishes, should I violate his ideas and continue to resist?
However, although Gu Quanwu was silent for a moment, Du Jianhui, who was standing beside him, was still full of resentment. After all, according to the historical trajectory, Du Jianhui served in Qian Liu, Qian Yuanguan, Qian Hongzuo, Qian Hongju, Qian Hongchu, and Qian Hongchu, the five kings of Wu and Yue, and died of illness at the age of 88. He served the Qian family for more than 70 years. It can be said that his whole life was firmly bound to the Wu and Yue Kingdom.
Du Jianhui's sons and nephews also intermarried with the Qian clan's clan, and all the high-ranking officials were noble. "Since the country was in existence, it was more than prosperous"... When the last king of Wu and Yue, Qian Hongchu, took the land and returned to the Song Dynasty, Du Jianhui had been dead for more than 20 years. When he was alive, he had never seen the country he had followed the Qian family to be annexed by the Central Plains dynasty. That's fine... But as the left prime minister of Wu and Yue, he had to watch his own forces be destroyed by the Wei Dynasty, how could Du Jianhui be willing to do so?
So Du Jianhui looked at Qian Liu with grief and shouted:
"Why did the King say this? Although the Wei Dynasty army is at the city, Qiantang, Hangzhou, has won the hearts of the people through the benevolent government of the king, and has sufficient food and fodder reserves. The soldiers of the three armies are willing to fight for the country! The city defense of the seventy-li Luocheng is strong and it may not be able to compete with the Wei people for a long time. There are also Su, Chang, Run, Yue, Qu, Wu, Wen... and other states are still under the control of our country, and can send troops to defend the king and harass the enemy. As long as the Wei people are exhausted and slack, they have to retreat. Our army is in a strong position, and will boost the determination of the military and civilians to fight against the Wei Dynasty!
What's more, although Wu Yue had watched the Wei Dynasty destroy Wu and his strong neighbors were there, he might not be lonely at the moment. The Min Kingdom was like our country, and he was careful in the Central Plains. He never violated the Wei Dynasty. But when he saw his neighbors being attacked by the Wei Dynasty for no reason, how could the King of Min sit down and ignore it? There was also the king of Yue in the south? The battle with the Wei Dynasty had begun. Therefore, his ally Chu and Wu had already been destroyed, so he was eager to share the same way with Wu Yue and Fujian to form the three countries to resist Wei.
So I hope the king will think twice... If he surrendered to the Emperor of Wei, those who died in battle for the sake of Rong Wei, Wu Yue, will their blood be gone in vain??"
"But if you continue to resist, you will only have more blood to shed in vain..."
Qian Liu shook his head, and said calmly:
"Although the King of Fujian is wise, I heard that he was sick and ill, his health has been getting worse day by day. His eldest son, Wang Yanhan, was the deputy envoy of the military governor of the mighty army, was commander-in-chief of the internal commander, and was specially promoted to the Taifu of the Procuratorate... and other important positions, it seems that he will inherit the position of the throne of the country. However, Wang Yanhan is said to be arrogant and cruel, and his conflicts with his brothers are becoming increasingly deepening. I am afraid that the chaos in Fujian will be approaching, so how can he have the strength to fight against the Wei Dynasty?
As for Liu, the young man in Yue State, he was arrogant. At that time, it was all because the Central Plains dynasty still had strong enemies on his side and had no time to look south. It was separated from the sea and the north. Liu was able to occupy the land of Guangdong and usurp the title and be called the Nine Five... But now the enemy of the Wei Dynasty, the Li family of Hedong, has been destroyed. Although there are still Khitan covetous in the north, the Emperor of Wei judged the situation and wanted to take advantage of the Khitan king Yelu Abaoji's eastward expedition to Bohai Kingdom and to march south to annex the countries.
The Wei Dynasty then swallowed Shu and destroyed Wu, and took advantage of the situation to annex Chu State, and the troops were able to reach Guangdong. The Yue State had joined forces with Wu, but Chu was defeated and was rebelled by Jiaozhijing Navy. It was already a rainy night. Based on the Lingnan area alone, how could it be able to compete with the Wei Dynasty? If Gu joined forces with Yue State, not only would they be separated from each other's territory and could not help each other... They were not accomplices with Liu, but they would be pulled into the furnace and charcoal with the generation... "
However, Qian Liu finished speaking, among the ministers in the hall, there were also important positions such as the Chief Secretary, the Secretariat, and the Jiedushi of the Zhendong Army. Qian Chuanguan, the seventh son of the Lord of Wu Yue (after inheriting his father's throne according to the official history line, he issued an edict to change the character of the Chuan in the name of himself and his brothers to the Yuan characters). He stood up with a firm mind and immediately advised:
"Father...the country of Wu and Yue, but your own efforts... I defend Qiantang, unite with Fujian and Yue, and intend to resist the Wei Dynasty and protect myself. Whether the matter is successful is still unknown, and it is also necessary to try it. But how can you give up and easily accept the power of the Wei Dynasty?"
As the second generation king of Wu Yue in official history, Qian Chuanguan, although according to historical comments, he had some disadvantages, but he was ambitious and knowledgeable, and was good at comforting the country. He could continue the reign of Wu Yue and the Qian family's foundation. He was a master of the Qian family's foundation and was able to protect the land and the people according to his father's teachings. He was good at serving the Central Plains dynasties such as the Later Tang and Later Jin, but he was more or less selfish.
After all, Qian Chuan was cautious before. In order to assist his father Qian Qing, he always worked diligently, and paid great attention to his relationship with his relatives and relatives of Wu and Yue. Therefore, he was highly praised by his brothers such as Qian Chuan Chuan and Qian Chuanjing, and unanimously agreed that this brother, who was only ranked seventh, was suitable to become the crown prince... When Qian Qing died, he once said, "I can't afford to get sick, and my sons are foolish and cowardly, and I'm afraid I can't be your commander. If you decide with me, the commander should choose your own choice." However, a group of close ministers still recommended Qian Chuan Chuan to be virtuous, benevolent, righteous and filial, and they all want to take it as their main.
So whether it is a person or nature, Qian Chuanguan has put in a lot of effort to win the recognition of the ministers of Wu Yue... As a result, Wu Yue, which was originally inseparable and would be ruled by me in the future, will be gone? Qian Chuanguan thought that if he, the future king, became a descendant of the royal family of the country, would be difficult for him to accept for a while.
In addition, according to historical records, Qian Chuan's "decision is quick and is attached to the military and civilians, but it is created more than his father." In other words, luxury and unqualified etiquette and illegality are not as good as his father. The throne and power he obtained will turn into a cloud of misfortune. Qian Chuan was not a transcendent who saw through fame and fortune, but a prince who had always assisted his father in governing state affairs. Of course, he could not hold back his mind, so he stood up and advised his father to surrender to the Wei Dynasty. Can't our Qian family's country and foundation try to defend it?
However, although Qian Liu was very polite to Gu Quanwu and Du Jianhui, the two close ministers, spoke very politely, when he saw that his son had already stood up to question him, his face suddenly sank to Qian Chuanguan:
"Silly! I taught my sons to meticulously understand affairs for my father. The sage said that those who follow the heavens remain. They also said that the people are the most important, and the country is the second... Do you forget the lonely words behind your mind?"
