In April of the sixth year of the Marquis of Wei, the news of the Song monarch's visit to the Marquis of Wei came out.

Although the Song government was unwilling to accept the fact of the demise of the Song state, and had the intention of preventing the monarch from carrying out this policy, they were eventually persuaded by Song Xiang.

In the face of the general trend, the Song State has no ability to resist, and going against the current will only destroy the ship and kill people, which is a fact that the Song people cannot change.

Since the Song State is destined to be destroyed by the great powers, why not take the initiative to attach the great powers and get the same treatment as Xiao Guo's office?

As long as the interests of people in the office can be protected, then in the face of a cruel environment, reasonable people will make choices according to their own interests.

persuaded the office, what Song Xiang still needed to convince was the courtiers, and this was the easiest.

The Song State had been a vassal of the Wei State for many years, and all the clans in the country were devoted to the Wei State, and if the dispute was ended without a fight, it would also be a good way for them to protect the family.

So, at the beginning of April, Song Xiang embarked on a journey to Wei, and he had to go to Wu'an in person to negotiate with the Marquis of Wei.

Song Xiang was very confident in the success of his trip, and Wei had no reason to refuse him, which was a win-win situation for Wei and Song.

On April 13, Song Xiang and his entourage arrived in Wu'an and were welcomed into the building of Da Honglu.

The news of Song Xiang's visit to the Marquis of Wei had spread in Wu'an City a few days earlier, so the people in the city were not surprised by Song Xiang's arrival, they were just curious about the purpose of Song Bo's visit.

But in fact, there are not many people who know Song Bo's intentions, and only those big people in Wu'an know only a little about it.

On April 15, two days after Song Bo was in Wu'an, Wei Wuji summoned Song Bo at a great court meeting.

At the court meeting, Song Xiang, under the gaze of the Wei courtiers, officially expressed the intention of the Song State to annex the Wei State.

Wei Wuji was not surprised, he put Song Xiang at the court meeting, just to let the courtiers hear about it.

After repeated "resignations", Wei Wuji announced on the spot at the court meeting that he would accept the request of the Song State Office and accept the land of the Song State as Wei Tu.

Then the Great Dynasty Meeting ended successfully, and Song Xiang was also left by Wei Wuji and invited to the Yongming Palace, where he usually manages the government.

Along with Song Xiang, there were also several important ministers of Wei, and the next thing they had to discuss was the specific implementation plan attached to the Song Dynasty.

In the Yongming Palace, the distinction between monarchs and ministers has been established, and Song Xiang at this time is no longer the monarch of the Song State, but has officially become the courtier of the Wei State.

So at this time, Song Xiang took off his crown as a monarch to show that he was a minister.

In order to show his love for Song Xiang, Wei Wuji also deliberately asked Yu Zhong to move a stool for him in the hall, which made Song Xiang very frightened.

"Song Qing sit down, you deserve the gift of the widow!" Wei Wuji said calmly.

Wei Wuji spoke, and Song Xiang couldn't refuse, so he said, "The minister has thanked you!" ”

Song Xiang was as delicate as ever, and at this time, he directly called himself a minister and officially entered the role of a courtier.

This made Wei Wuji very satisfied, but at the same time, it also made Wei Wuji alert to Song Xiang, this person can bend and stretch, and he is a heroic figure.

Then, Wei Wuji turned his gaze to the other people in the hall, and then said, "Since the Song State is attached, how do you think the Qing should be governed?" ”

In fact, this question is very unnutritious, how can the courtiers not know the king's thoughts.

But this time, Zhao Yu, the court lieutenant, stood up first and said: "Your Excellency, in the opinion of the ministers, it should still be the case, set up counties in the Song Dynasty, and send capable officials to govern it!" ”

Song Xiang was not surprised by this result, and so was Xiao Guo, whom he emulated.

So Wei Wuji asked other important ministers again, but no one raised any objections, and then Wei Wuji asked Song Xiang himself.

Wei Wuji asked Song Xiang for his opinion, which was also a test of Song Xiang.

If Song Xiang was against it, it would be almost impossible; And if Song Xiang directly agreed, it would also fall in Wei Wuji's heart.

But on the contrary, Song Xiang is such a delicate person, and he also discovered the doorway inside.

Then he replied: "Everything is up to the prince alone, and the ministers act according to the edict!" ”

How good this is to say, Song Xiang really put himself in the position of a subordinate, and did not express his own opinion on the issue, but handed over the decision to Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Yu and the others were also impressed by this former Song Bo, at least this Song Bo could live like Xiao Ziji.

Subsequently, after Wei Wuji encouraged Song Xiang, he let him go to the palace.

There were still several prime ministers in the Yongming Palace, and Wei Wuji asked them to select outstanding people from among the county officials across the country, as he had done two years ago, and then he would appoint them as county lieutenants after selection.

It's just that in Wei Wuji's plan, among the officials of Song County this time, Wei Wuji plans to be one-third of the Song people, so as to win over the hearts of the Song people.

As for the county guard and the county lieutenant, Wei Wuji also planned to let the courtiers choose by themselves, as he did last time.

The small court meeting ended, Wei Wuji breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but when he looked at the prime minister who was trembling a little when he walked, his heart was alive again, is it almost time to change the prime minister?

To be honest, Wei Wuji and Guo Liangdong have gotten along fairly well in the past few years, but this old prime minister is really older, so Wei Wuji has the idea of letting him step down.

Just like Gao Chengde, who is also a general of the Zhuguo, this person has been physically better after being away from the battlefield in the past two years, and has become Wei Wuji's senior staff.

To tell the truth, Wei Wuji's current military and political ministers are all a little older, which is what Wei Wuji does not want to see.

If he wants to do great things, he needs a group of young and powerful courtiers!

But at this time, he was in a hurry, so Wei Wuji could only figure it slowly, and the road had to be walked step by step.

Outside the Wei Palace, Song Xiang, escorted by the guards, returned to the pavilion arranged for him, but at this time his expression was a little solemn.

He could feel Wei Hou's distrust of him, and because of this, he was frightened, but fortunately, he had just passed.

Thinking about these things, Song Xiang walked into the pavilion, and at this time, the clansmen and officials who accompanied him on the envoy were waiting for him to return in the room.

"Jun Shang is back!" Someone shouted after discovering Song Xiang.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, does the Marquis of Wei agree?"

For a while, a group of people surrounded Song Xiang and kept asking questions, which made Song Xiang very irritable, and he didn't want to see these people now.

Under the noisy voice, Song Xiang suddenly broke out: "Shut up......"

Even though Song Xiang decided to submit to Wei, the majesty of the monarch accumulated over the years was still there, and this roar made everyone terrified.

After scanning everyone and seeing that they all closed their mouths, Song Xiang slowed down and said: "Everyone, now there is no Song State, only Song County of the Great Wei State, and the title of the king is Hugh Hugh!" ”

This was Song Xiang's greatest concern, and if Wei Wuji learned that he was still called a king by his courtiers, it would cause him a lot of trouble.

was told by Song Xiang so solemnly, although everyone present had expected this, they still felt unacceptable for a while.

The status of the monarch and minister for many years will be the same palace from now on?

"Jun ......"

For a while, everyone didn't know how to call Song Xiang, and it was of course inappropriate to call him by his name directly.

"Okay, you go down first, let the old man talk to my nephew!" At that moment, an old voice rang out in the room.

Everyone looked at the sound at this time, but saw that it was Zongzheng Song Bin.

At this time, everyone present was also a little chaotic, after listening to Song Bin's words, they had no intention of staying here, and after saluting Song Xiang one by one, they all retreated from the main hall.

After everyone left, before Song Bin could speak, Song Xiang said heavily: "Third uncle, the Song Kingdom is gone!" ”

Song Bin was speechless for a while, as a member of the Song State Office, it was difficult for them to be happy in the face of this fact.

Afterwards, Song Bin said: "It's gone...... If it's gone, it's gone, as long as my office can be inherited, and the ancestor sacrifice can continue to be extinct, we will be worthy of our ancestors and ancestors! ”

At this time, as an elder, Song Bin is of course qualified to say this, and he also hopes that Song Xiang can cheer up.

After all, the first step in negotiating the attached things, the Song State Office requires survival, and there are many things that need to be busy in the future, and this is inseparable from Song Xiang.
