Shihui's gift of three kneels and nine bows this time can be regarded as a complete division of their Shi family into the Jinwang Group.

After the ceremony was completed, Shihui got up with the words of the King of Jin, and then bowed down and said: "Minister, on behalf of my Shi family, I have come to hand over Jiaozhou to the king, and I also ask the king to have mercy on the hardships of the people of Jiaozhou." ”

As he spoke, Shi Hui took a box from the hands of the staff behind him, and held it flat with both hands in the direction of Hao Meng, the king of Jin.

The close attendant Shi Hui took the box and handed it to Hao Meng.

Hao Meng stood up from the throne and took the box with both hands to show respect for this behavior of the Shi family.

In the box, there is a map, a large seal of the princes, and a tiger talisman.

The map is the general mountain and river landform of the seven counties of Jiaozhou; The great seal of the princes is the seal of the Marquis of Nanhai of the scholar family; The tiger charm is the transfer and commander certificate of the army under the command of the Jiaozhou Shijia.

The Shi family sent these three items together, which means that from now on, Jiaozhou will also be the territory under the rule of King Jin; The official titles of the scholars will also be rewarded or degraded by Hao Meng, the king of Jin; Even the army originally controlled by the Shi family will also be a member of the army under the Jin King!

This is not a nominal surrender, or a mere superficial surrender.

From now on, Hao Meng not only has the right to rule Jiaozhou, but also has the right to appoint and dismiss officials in Jiaozhou, as well as the transfer of troops, etc. All this, the Shi family will no longer be able to interfere.

Of course, if the scholars are not satisfied, they can still set off some waves.

Not only that, they have been in Jiaozhou for many years, and the officials and troops in Jiaozhou are basically formed by their scholars, even if they are now given to Hao Meng, their scholars still have a great influence in Jiaozhou.

However, Hao Meng does not die, does not treat the Shi family harshly, and the Shi family naturally will not make small moves if he dies.

At this point, Hao Meng was sure that the rulers of the Shi family also thought so.

……

These three items, for Hao Meng, if they are really true, they are actually useless. But Hao Meng still checked them one by one seriously, not suspecting that the Shi family was cheating, but showing respect for the Shi family.

After all, the Shi family gave these to Hao Meng as a heavy gift, if Hao Meng treated them as garbage and didn't look at them, what do you make Shihui think, and what do you make the Shishu family think?

In the romance of later generations, Cao Cao treated Yizhou Don't Drive Zhang Song like this. So, Zhang Song sent the map of Yizhou to Liu Bei, so that later, Cao Cao had to do a battle with Liu Bei in Hanzhong.

This is a lesson!

Hao Meng put the box on the king's case and closed the lid with great importance.

"The Shi family understands the righteousness so well, and the people of Jiaozhou are very happy, but they are not very happy."

After giving the seat, Hao Meng smiled at Shi Hui.

"Now, since Jiaozhou has returned to Wanghua, there are already eleven of the thirteen states in the Han world that can enjoy peace. This is a great blessing for the people of the world, and it is also a great blessing for us. ”

"The Shijia has contributed so much, and there is nothing to repay, so I can only talk about gratitude."

Hao Meng said, and a close attendant brought a box and a canonization edict.

"The edict of the king of Jin, the head of the Jiaozhou Shi family, Shi Xie, is the Marquis of Nanhai and sits in Lingnan. The son of the Feng Shi family is the general of Zhennan, who can open the government and control the three armies of Jiaozhou. ”

In fact, the edicts of the Qin and Han dynasties were very straightforward.

Before Confucianism was not played by some so-called Confucians and scholars, Confucian questioning was actually very straightforward.

Therefore, the edict is not as difficult to read as the successive dynasties of later generations.

The attendant read out the edict of canonization, and then handed the box and the edict to the hand of the scholar who bowed down to listen to the edict.

There are only two things in the box, the seal of the Marquis of Nanhai, and the print of the general of Zhennan.

Compared with the Shihui sent, there is a missing map.

Accepting the map, it means that Hao Meng only needs the territory of Jiaozhou, as for the army in Jiaozhou, as well as the official positions and titles of the scholars, they are basically returned to the scholars intact. Even, Hao Meng also gave the Shi family an additional official position as a general of Zhennan.

The main purpose, Hao Meng, is still to maintain stability.

Before the entire Han world is completely cleared, Hao Meng should not remove the real power of those princes with real power.

……

After Shihui received the edict, Hao Meng smiled and said: "It is said that the Shi family is so well aware of the righteousness, and Lone should be rewarded heavily." ”

"It's just that right now, the Jin Kingdom is newly established, and the world has not yet been cleared. If the reward for your scholar family is too heavy at this time, how should Lone reward your scholar family when the world is cleared in the future? ”

"When it really comes to the time when there is nothing to seal and nothing to reward, what will be the result of your scholars?"

"So, right now, Lone can only leave it as it is, and make the head of your Shi family the Marquis of the South China Sea."

"I want to be able to understand this in the next life."

Regarding the reward of the scholars, Hao Meng directly explained to the scholars, which can be regarded as being open and honest, lest the scholars be dissatisfied with the official titles they have obtained now, so as to make any small moves in the strategy of attacking Yunnan from Jiaozhou in the future.

Yes, after Jiaozhou was included in his hands, Hao Meng got another springboard.

It can send troops from Jiaozhou to Shuzhong, and it can also send troops from Jiaozhou to Yunnan.

In this way, the barbarian king Meng Shu will not be able to jump for much time, and Liu Ranpao of Yizhou County will not be active for a few days.

……

If it weren't for the openness and honesty of Hao Meng, the king of Jin, Shihui might really have a little sense of loss.

After all, he Shihui urged the family to take the initiative to surrender to Hao Meng from the entire seven counties of Jiaozhou, and in the end, in addition to obtaining the title of a general in Zhennan, their Shi family had all the benefits.

As for the title of Marquis of Nanhai, and the military and civilians who continue to be in charge of the seven counties of Jiaozhou?

This was originally their scholar's family!

Hao Meng, this is the thing of their scholars, and in turn they reward their scholars.

Well, the only addition is the official position of General Zhennan.

Anyone will be a little disappointed in this matter.

However, as soon as Hao Meng explained this, all the loss in Shihui's heart disappeared, but he was grateful to Hao Meng.

The king can think of this step for his courtiers, and if he is still dissatisfied with his courtiers, it is because the people's hearts are not enough. In the end, the courtiers and their families, the absolute force is as the king of Jin said, the end after the seal is unsealed and the reward is unrewarded.

As a courtier, if he has a little foresight, he will not reach the point where there is no seal and no reward.

This point is still understood by the wisdom of the Emblem; The sense of loss just now was only something that did not meet psychological expectations, and after Hao Meng's explanation, Shihui woke up.

"Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en."

"Now, since my scholar family is a courtier under the throne, it is right to bathe in the grace of the king."

"Moreover, as the king said, a courtier should abide by the way of a courtier. When it really reaches the point where there is no seal and no reward, it is also the self-destruction of a courtier! ”

"From now on, my Shi family will be the king's liver and brain!"
