1181 The flowers are blooming on the Mo, you can return slowly
After hearing Qian Liu's question, Han Xizai still smiled and replied calmly under the attention of the Wu Yue ministers in the hall:
"Our court and the Wu Yue army have indeed had several battles, and each of them has been injured. But although we have to give an explanation to Your Majesty, the king did not rush to Bianjing as a criminal minister and a fallen king. The subordinates followed His Majesty's oral orders to surrender as soon as possible.
This time, the king respects His Majesty's will and is willing to set off with his relatives and relatives as soon as possible. Our troops stationed outside Qiantang City will also treat each other according to the etiquette of the vassal kings and escort the king to Bianjing. As for the surrender of Wu Yue and the surrender of the king, and the negligence of the king, to explain to His Majesty, etc., etc.,... Haha, there is no need to discuss it in detail at the moment. It is not too late to discuss it with the king when he is pilgrimage."
After hearing Han Xizai's joking, Qian Liu immediately realized that Emperor Wei Li Tianqu would not accept the intention of surrendering to Wu Yue Kingdom for the time being.
As the king of the country who destroyed the country, he declared the destruction of the country under his own capital and was escorted to set off on his way; or as a subordinate vassal king, he would come to the capital of the sect leader and the capital to finalize such a big event, "Or let's merge", there are actually many things in it...
After all, according to the system of surrendering the kings of the country, the Cao Wei destroyed Shu and the Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu. Liu Chan and Sun Hao, the two last emperors, were both white horses, with flesh and blood, holding faces, holding jade, holding sheep, and carrying carriages and carrying coffins. Later, the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan, and the foolish father and son took off their shirts, wrapped them with freshly slaughtered sheepskin, and put on all sides, and allowed the Jin people to humiliate them.
Before the Wei Dynasty destroyed Shu, the last emperor, Wang Yan, also wanted to "wear white clothes, hold a wall and lead a sheep, tie a rope to the neck, and welcome the left side of the road" in front of everyone... and also had to prepare a coffin to follow him, meaning that he would disobey the country, and he deserved to die.
So Qian Liu is now going to announce his surrender to the Wei Dynasty. If he looks at it carefully, he will also wear plain clothes and lead aries, tie his neck with a straw rope, and follow a coffin behind him... For an elderly elder, he is undoubtedly a huge humiliation.
Li Tianqu then arranged that once the three Wei troops met in front of Qiantang City, the capital of Wuyue, the envoy sent by Han Xizai immediately set off and told Qian Li that we had indeed started a war. However, let’s not mention this matter for now. If you have any important matters, come to me to discuss clearly... After all, if you surrender before and the army was at the city, you will apologize for guilt and humiliation in public as a criminal minister;
But if you rush to Bianjing in person, we can discuss and finalize the major events of Wu and Yue's incorporation into the Wei Dynasty. You are a meritorious minister who offers land and deserves great rewards.
He thought about the intention of Wei Chao. Qian Liu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and a smile of relief appeared on his face. He suddenly stood up slowly, bowed slightly to Han Xizai, and said:
"Your Majesty is generous and compassionate with the subordinates. I am grateful to the grace of heaven and fearless. I dare not violate the tribute of the Holy Emperor. I will go to Bianjing as soon as possible. I will not be delayed. But I have many family members, and I hope the angels will convey it. After Xu Gu is ready to stop, he will set off immediately to meet the saint. I said that I, Wu Yue, would like to submit to the heavenly dynasty..."
Including Gu Quanwu, Du Jianhui, Qian Chuan, and other important officials who strongly rejected the surrender of Wu and Yue, the many officials in the hall were of course very clear about the process that the king of the devastated country had to take when surrendering... and then he knew some human nature and the world, and he realized that the Wei Dynasty did not accept surrender for the time being, but still asked the king of Wu and Yue to go to the capital in the name of Xuanzhao.
Seeing through and not saying it out, no one of the ministers present will stand up to oppose Qian Liu's decision to accept land and return to Wei... After all, the lord of Wu Yue has made up his mind, and Emperor Li Tianqu, as the victorious party, has given their lord the greatest respect as much as possible... In a little while, it seems that Wu Yue was not a foregone conclusion by the Wei Dynasty. Even if the previous pro-war faction has reached this point, what else can he have?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When Qian Liu and his wife and their family were summoned to Bianjing, the Wei Dynasty army camped outside the city gate west of Qiantang also gave up a road early. The troops of the troops were neatly arranged, and they didn't look like foreign enemy troops preparing to attack the capital of Wu and Yue. Now it is more like a ceremonial guard to greet Qian Liu and escort Qian Liu to set off.
Qian Liu only has thirty-five sons and many children. In addition, he, the king of Wu Yue, is already a grandfather. This family member also includes the servants, maids, and luggage, and carriages that he was carrying, so he was naturally attracted to the people of Qiantang. The king who watched them was summoned by the Emperor of the Central Plains and embarked on the journey to Bianjing.
On both sides of the long street, people gathered on the city and watched the crowd whispered and talked a lot. Although many people were glad that Wu Yue gave up resistance, this meant that they would not be affected by the war; however, more people shook their heads and sighed, lamenting that the period of rule by the Qian family of Wu Yue would soon pass and would become people under the Central Plains dynasty, but some people were still thinking about Qian Liu's goodness and showed a reluctant expression on their faces.
After all, what ordinary people hope is to live a peaceful life with their family and wives, without fear or struggle to survive... As the ruler of the separatist regime, Qian Liu pursues the way to recuperate with the people and can basically be sympathetic to the people, so the local people will be grateful for his kindness.
So seeing the car that Qian Liu was riding by the car, some people couldn't help but start to move with the slowly moving car. The people around were soon infected and followed each other...
Li Tianqu arranged to summon Qian Liu to meet in the name of his subordinate vassal kings to prevent him from being blatantly humiliated according to the practice of the king who lost his country surrendering to the conquered. It was not only to give enough face to this wise king of the Five Dynasties, but also to pacify the people and the people under the rule of Wu and Yue.
After all, since the turbulent times in the late Tang Dynasty, there have been wars and wars in all directions. Since Qian Liu took over one side, he has pursued the national policy of protecting the country and safeguarding the people. Overall, he can indeed be regarded as a wise ruler who can benefit the people. The people under his ruler praised the king of Wu and Yue very well. Li Tianqu thought that if Qian Liu was forced to surrender and was publicly humiliated... what would the people in Wu and Yue and even Liangzhe think?
In batches, the Wei soldiers who began to escort the carriage were also sensible. Although the queues separated Qian Li and the carriages where his family were from the people following behind, they did not scold the large number of people who were spontaneously accompanying to disperse quickly.
When Qian Li opened the curtain covering the window, he saw many people following him on foot, shouting gratitude and virtue, and some people knelt down... Qian Li nodded frequently and waved to show his hand. Thinking of his recruitment and enlistment in the past, he had worked hard to assist him, and at least he could be supported by the people under his rule, but he could not help but surrender to the Central Plains, and gave up the royal power and foundation he had mastered... and he wanted to stay away from his hometown, so he was very moved.
Qian Liu put down the curtain again and sighed continuously. His original wife, Wu, who was originally the daughter of Wu Zhongxin, the judge of Zhejiang West Observer, also rode in the carriage. Seeing that his husband's expression was a little lonely, Wu looked worried and couldn't help but say:
"The king took the land and returned to Wei, so he was thinking of the people of Wu and Yue, and was unwilling to use wars again. However, the king had always been supported by the military and civilians of Liangzhe, so he was allowed to be resettled by the Wei Dynasty, and he was afraid that the Emperor of Wei would be afraid... Can he really treat the Qian clan's relatives well?"
Although Qian Li has many children and has taken many concubines, the one he cared for the most was Mrs. Zhengde of Wu Yue... The saying that has been passed down through the ages, "Flowers bloom on the road, and you can slowly return" was done by his wife Wu. Now the old couple were sitting in the carriage with each other, and when they saw Wu asking some concern, Qian Li smiled indifferently and slowly held his wife's hand. They were already in their seventies, but they still said emotionally:
"Madam, I am the heroic ruler of the Emperor of Wei. Although I cannot say that I know the truth, I think about his past deeds... As long as my descendants of Qian surrender sincerely, they can live a peaceful life and have a good end. For nothing to do, I will be careless and have no trouble in the future. This is good. In the past, Master Taibai wrote a poem that said: The situation does not wait for others, and my wife and I are already gray-haired. In my old age, we should have more time to spend together..."
