Chapter 1637: Coercion and Temptation

"Are you going to kill all the people of Linyi?"

Bhadra Shura was devoured by thunder, his whole body was shaken, and he looked at Pei Xingjian, who was as warm as jade and smiled indifferently in disbelief.

Anyone who can become the minister of a country cannot be a fool, and he only understands the sinister intentions of the Tang people after a little pondering. At this moment, the personable Tang noble son in front of him seemed to him as vicious as the devil......

Bhadra Shura finally understood that the Tang people were not only trying to overthrow the regime of the Linyi State and oust Fan Zhenlong?

They are basically supporting all the forces in Linyi's country, letting these short-sighted guys attack each other and kill each other, and when the army in Linyi's country is exhausted and its vitality is greatly damaged, what difference does it make for the Tang people who is the king?

No one was able to prevent the Dons from completely occupying the land......

Pei Xingjian looked at Bhadra Shura in surprise again, but he didn't expect that this person really had some wisdom and could deduce the truth from his inadvertent words......

Interesting.

He likes smart people, smart people always take too much care of them, and they don't easily do such things as burning jade.

With a faint smile, Pei Xingjian said gently: "The Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and the Tang people have been familiar with the classics of the sages since childhood, and they are the most fraternity, benevolence and generosity. I came here today, not to turn my back on Lin Yi and become a lackey of the Tang Dynasty, but to persuade the Prime Minister to consider the future of Lin Yi and the well-being of Lin Yi people. ”

Bhadra Shura laughed angrily, gritted his teeth and sneered: "You want the people of Linyi to kill each other, and finally achieve the goal of embezzling this land without blood, and in turn I have to thank you, right?" ”

"No, no, no, it's a big misunderstanding."

Pei Xingjian was not annoyed, and said calmly: "Datang has no interest in the land of Linyi at all, and our move is for the sake of the people of Linyi." ”

Bhadra Shura looked at Pei Xingjian incredulously, how could this person be so thick-skinned?

Such bloody and brutal methods can still be said under the pretext of waiting for a high-sounding pretext......

Holding back the anger in his heart, Bhadra Shura asked, "How does Datang think about the people of Linyi?" I would like to hear about it. ”

Pei Xingjian said leisurely: "The people of Linyi must be Tang people, but they are an inferior nation, do you think so?" ”

But no? What a!

Who can admit that their own people are inferior to others?

Bhadra Shura shook his head and said: "Otherwise, although the Linyi Kingdom is not as strong as the Tang Dynasty, but even if the Tang Dynasty is as strong as this, there will be a day when the Linyi Kingdom is weak at the moment, but all the people of Linyi are united, and it may not be that there will be no time to rise." ”

Pei Xingjian shook his head and smiled: "The big picture is really hard-mouthed...... Your Linyi country is originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, but it is only because of the turmoil in the Central Plains that you have no time to look far away, so you can divide the land for the king and stand on your own. But hundreds of years have passed, and what kind of life have you lived? They have the richest land, but the people don't have enough to eat; It has the most accessible sea routes, but the people are destitute...... Believe me, only with the help of the Tang Dynasty can Lin Yi become truly wealthy, live a life as rich as the Tang people, read the same sage classics as the Tang people, and write the most beautiful words in the world...... If the prime minister can cooperate with the Tang army to stabilize the domestic situation in Linyi, and wait for a hundred years, people who live a happy life will worship and admire your tombstone and praise you as a hero of the people of Linyi, who will say that you collaborated with the enemy and committed treason? ”

Bhadra Shura was dumbfounded.

Is the land of Linyi fertile?

Of course!

The rivers in China are crisscrossed, the climate is warm, and there are fertile fields everywhere.

Are the people of Linyi poor?

Of course!

Lack of food and clothing is the norm, even if he is the prime minister of the Linyi country, the furnishings in his home are not as luxurious and elegant as a governor's mansion built casually by the Tang people......

It has the most fertile land and the smoothest sea routes, but why are the people of Linyi still so poor and hungry?

Bhadra Shura couldn't find the answer, maybe ...... Is it really because the people of Linyi are an inferior nation?

Or perhaps...... Can the people of Linyi really live a rich and stable life like the Tang people with the help of the Tang people?

Bhadra Shura's mind was a little confused.

On the one hand, he is a hero who is loyal to the king and loyal to Linyi, but he may die immediately; On the one hand, it is a collaboration with the enemy and treason to send the army of the whole country to death, but it is possible that the rich people of later generations will be firmly remembered and praised for merit......

How to choose?

Pei Xingjian did not force him, but stood up, looked at Bhadra Shura condescendingly with his hands, and said indifferently: "I know that the choice here is extremely difficult, so I am not aggressive, and the prime minister is still thoughtful in the world." However, I want to remind Daxiang that Datang will not put chips on one person, if someone cooperates with Datang before Daxiang, then the value of Daxiang will be reduced, so it is better to do it yourself. ”

After that, he walked away.

The oil lamp in the lobby was gently blown by the breeze through the window, and it was on and off, just like the mood of Bhadra Shura at the moment......

Pei Xingjian has been gone for a long time, but the entanglement of Bhadra Shura is getting deeper and deeper.

The last sentence pierced into his heart, yes, even if he wanted to be a loyal minister, would the ending change?

No, it won't.

Without him, Bhadra Shura, there is someone else who can take his place.

For example, the great general Gadu......

But if he falls to the Tang people, how can he be worthy of Fan Zhenlong, who is trusted by his heart?

As the night wore on, Bhadra Shura sat paralyzed in the lobby, tormented and unsure......

*****

At the same time, inside the Doge's Palace.

Liu Renliang had already changed into an ordinary cloth shirt, and his burly figure looked like a deep and lofty figure even when he was sitting on a chair.

Power is the best cosmetics for men, holding the power of life and death of hundreds of people in Da Nang, Liu Renliang has long lost the original "rustic atmosphere", with a powerful face in his eyebrows, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

And the middle-aged fat man in brocade clothes sitting on the chair opposite him was honestly afraid, and cold sweat trickled down his sideburns......

Liu Renliang looked at the embarrassed and frightened fat man in fancy clothes in front of him, and said with an indifferent smile: "This time the official invited you to come, it is a great good thing to discuss, Your Excellency does not need to be restrained. Your name sounds like a lineage of my Tang people, presumably the ancestors also have the blood of the Han family, since they are all a family, how can this official harm you? ”

The fat man in the fancy clothes wiped a handful of sweat stains on his cheeks, and said with a weak smile: "The governor's words are exact, the Xia family does have the blood of the Han family, and it is said that it was the two Jin Dynasty when they went south to avoid trouble, so they settled in Linyi country, but the age is long, and the ancestral home is already unsophisticated." But even so, I have admired the Heavenly Dynasty for a long time, and I can't wait to be a Tang person, take refuge in the invincible army, and enjoy the prosperity and prosperity of the ......"

Who wouldn't say good things?

In front of this supreme governor of the Tang Dynasty in Linyi State, the fat man in Huafu did not dare to slack off in the slightest, in case he was careless and negligent in his words, he probably didn't even know how he died......

Liu Renliang stretched out his hand to invite the fat man in Huafu to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is not only a descendant of the Han family, but also bears the blood of the Fan Dynasty. ”

As soon as these words came out, the fat man in Chinese clothes turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "The governor is false! Although Zaixia's mother is the younger sister of the former king, she was persecuted and had to live away from the royal capital......

At present, the arrest of the murderer in Da Nang is vigorous, and the people of the entire Linyi country are terrified, lest the Tang army send troops to war under the banner of revenge that day, how dare he get involved with the Fan royal family?

If there is a war, it is not good that he, an unlucky ghost with the blood of the Fan royal family, will have to be used by the Tang Army to sacrifice the flag......

Liu Renliang didn't care about his prevarication, let alone allowed him to take himself out, and said in a firm tone: "How can this kind of thing be denied? Your mother is the younger sister of King Xianlinyi, and Fan Zhenlong is your cousin, and she has the blood of the Fan royal family in her body, which everyone has to admit. At present, the country of Linyi is in turmoil, and it is a good time for people like you with royal blood to raise their arms and shout to stabilize the political situation. ”

"Lord Governor, I really have nothing to do with the Fan royal family, Fan Zhenlong's father and son persecuted my father in every way back then, if it weren't for my mother's desperate protection of me, I'm afraid that I would have been killed by those two vicious father and son by now, and the bones would probably be rotten! I'm ...... Well? ”

The fat man in the fancy costume hurriedly defended, but when the words were in general, he was suddenly awakened...... Wait a minute!

What does this Governor mean?
