Chapter Twenty-Six: Please Surrender

Chen Guang was going to go into the city to meet Ge Wei, the emperor of Ge State. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he lost a gold medal last time, but this time, he brought a lot of gifts, after all, he had just scavenged from Chen Guo's palace, what gold and silver utensils were piled up, just pick some ones that are not easy to carry, and the cost performance is not high, give them to Ge Guo, that's it.

So, there were a lot of carriages behind him, and they were all packed up as gifts for Ge Wei.

Although I really want to knock down Ge Guo now, Hong Jiang will resolutely oppose it, and Chen Guang will not think about it, let's talk about it later, if I want to mix well in the future, I have to rely on this military department book.

This is a great gift for Ge Guo.

Preparing the gift and preparing for the capital, Chen Guang heard the bell ringing inside, and he suddenly felt very surprised, what's the matter? Then he remembered that he had heard this voice in Chen Guo not long ago, and he couldn't help but be even more surprised.

What the hell is this?

At this moment of surprise, the city gate opened, and the first thing I saw was two canopies, behind which was a golden dragon decorated carriage, and next to the carriage was a man dressed in white, holding a box in his hand, with the expression of a dead father and mother.

Chen Guang was very puzzled, this was the wrong time for him, just happened to meet the royal funeral? Make no mistake, it's so unlucky.

However, what was even more surprised than him was Hong Jiang next to him, seeing this scene, Hong Jiang was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "His Royal Highness King Jin, why did they surrender?" ”

"Surrender? What the heck? Chen Guang said that his head seemed to be unable to turn, this is a surrender?

Thinking back to the time when Chen Guo surrendered, it seemed to be a bit similar to this, but that one was much simpler than this, looking at this configuration, looking at this posture, I thought that someone in the palace was going to be funeral.

However, surrender is equivalent to the death of the country, and the funeral of the country has almost the same meaning.

Well, accept the fact that I don't know why he surrendered, but it doesn't matter.

The Ge Guo official next to Chen Guang also looked confused, what does this mean?

He saw that the person not far away was an acquaintance of his, so he ran over and whispered, "What is this for?" ”

When the guard saw him, he immediately looked sad and angry, and said: "This Qianguo is really too deceitful, we helped them to fight Chen Guo, not only did they appreciate it, but now they want to beat us, which is really infuriating." However, our emperor is kind-hearted and knows that the tigers and wolves of Qianguo will also suffer if they fight, so they decided to surrender and save the people. ”

The official was even more confused, and said, "They came by the way to thank our emperor for lending them the road, and they also brought a lot of gifts." ”

Guard: "...... Is it too late to tell the emperor now? ”

"It seems too late."

"Oh."

The two of them watched with regret the surrender ceremony of the emperor, who had thought a little too much.

The ancient Chinese surrender ceremony was not like the current international practice, which required the submission of a surrender document and the signing of a surrender treaty before it could be regarded as a formal surrender. Although there were also letters of surrender in ancient China, such as Sun Hao's surrender to Wang Jun, and the surrender of Li Shizhi, the lord of the Han Dynasty, to Huanwen, etc., but this can only be a written representation made by the loser to the victor.

Formal surrender must also have another set of rituals, which are comical and ridiculous. In addition, there is another way of surrender, which is called "Chan Rang", which is mostly a way for the ministers to force their masters to hand over power after their power is extremely inflated, such as Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi forced Emperor Han to offer the throne of Zen, and Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yan forced Wei Chen to stay on the throne of King Zen. As usual, the old lord issued a Zen edict, and after the new lord ascended the throne, he reversed the old lord as a certain prince. This polite form of civilization naturally has no descending ceremonies.

The comical surrender ceremony was founded in 206 B.C., when Liu Bang, the king of Han, led a rebel army into the pass to destroy Qin, and the Han army was recorded as supreme in history. Prince Qin (III) "plain car white horse, tie the neck to the group, seal the emperor's seal and ribbon festival, descend to the side of the road." "It means surrender to the king of Han. At that time, the generals asked to kill the king of Qin, and the king of Han said that when the king of Huai sent me west into the pass, he asked to be tolerant of others, and besides, the people had already surrendered, and it was not auspicious to kill him again. So the child was handed over to the custody of his subordinate officials, and the king of Han only accepted the seal ribbon festival, and the ceremony was over.

Prior to this, such as Shang Tang and Xia, Xia Wei fled to Mingtiao and was exiled to death. From Xia Wei's point of view, he did not surrender. King Wu extinguished, and King Wu went to Lutai to self-immolate and die, so naturally there would be no ceremony. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes annexed and Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and there was no such ceremony. But since Liu Bang destroyed Qin, this set of rituals has been endless, more and more complicated, more funny, and dramatic.

In the peasant war against Wang Mang during the new Mang, new content was added, such as the first emperor Liu Xuan descended to Liu Penzi, which was "the meat is in the Changle Palace, and the seal is in the basin". The Red Eyebrow Army surrendered to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, which was "Pan Chongnai surrendered more than 30 people under the basin and Prime Minister Xu Xuan, and obtained the national seal, the seven-foot sword, and the jade wall."

During the Three Kingdoms, Wei destroyed Shu, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui marched into Chengdu, and "Chan led more than 60 princes, kings and ministers, and the face was bound and the public opinion was cowardly and the military gate was surrendered. Wu Sun Hao descended to the Jin general Wang Jun, who was "a plain car and a white horse, a meat and a face binding, a sheep, a doctor in decline, a scholar and a coward, and led his pseudo-prince Jin, Jin brother Lu Wang Qian and other 21 people, built in the fortress". This set of ceremonies is much more grand, and the level of specifications is also higher.

When the former Zhao Liu Yao fell into Chang'an and captured Sima Ye, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, he was "a meat and a sheep, and a cowardly title". Lu Long descended to Yaoxing, and it was "a plain car and a white horse to meet the side of the road". Taiyo Liu and Yao are ethnic minorities, and they don't pay much attention to Han Yi, but are more casual. Along to the end of the Tang Dynasty five dynasties, the level can be said to have reached the peak, Tang Zhuang sect Li Jifa, Guo Chongtao to destroy the former Shu, Shu lord Wang Yan "white clothes, titles, sheep, straw rope lingering, vain, cowardly, crying for life". The more you play, the more you play, and the more you keep innovating.

Chen Guang watched the surrendered convoy slowly walking towards him, since he learned that they were here to surrender, Chen Guang had been waiting all day, of course he didn't know that Ge Wei had misunderstood, but even if he knew, what if he did? It must not be said, he is not so stupid that he can take a country without blood, why not?

Since he knew that it was them who surrendered, Chen Guang was not in a hurry, just waiting for them to arrive, and with Hong Jiang beside him to guide him, Chen Guang was very relaxed.

After a set of procedures, it took almost an hour, Chen Guang humbly accepted Ge Wei's surrender in the spirit of unity and friendship, and said that his spirit was very halal and could continue to be maintained and carried forward.

The two sides are just outside the city, although it is autumn now, but the weather is still very hot, and it has been exposed to the sun for so long, which makes Chen Guang very resentful, why is this surrender ceremony so complicated. But after all, it was a surrender, and it was impossible for him to interrupt others, and the two sides had not fought before, so they couldn't put on a face like Chen Guo.

This made him wonder which great god had come up with such a complicated surrender ceremony.

The general intention of the demotion was that the loser was willing to accept the blame for his sins and the guilt of his death, and to admit his guilt and to ask the victorious master to be punished whatever he wanted.

From the point of view of the victors, it is necessary to show tolerance and grandeur, to show the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, to eliminate violence for the heavens, to forgive the losers, to forgive their sins and grievances, often to personally untie them, burn cowardice, extend the invitation to meet, and give comfort and forgiveness.

The question is who came up with these new gadgets and tricks.

Chen Guang was thinking that the loser would probably never honestly admit that he had committed such a heinous sin, nor would he express his guilt so bitterly. The reason why he did that humiliating thing so despicably was purely out of helplessness, out of saving his life.

At the same time, this is often in the defeat of the city, panic and panic, who still has the heart to think of the wonderful ornaments, learning from the previous generation will only follow the cat and the tiger. And it is inconvenient for any minister to make such a despicable proposal. It seems that these masterpieces were conceived by the victors.

In order to boast of the prowess of the military and the man of meritorious deeds, the victor must deter the loser and make it completely disintegrate, so he demands insulting etiquette. And only when they are excited and joyful, will they have the heart to reverie.

But anyway, the surrender ceremony was over, and Ge Wei invited Chen Guang into the city, and then gave him a good reception. Subsequently, the two sides issued an announcement, confirming that the country of Ge no longer exists from today, and everything in the country of Georgia is under the control of the state of Qian.

At this time, the most depressed person was not Ge Wei, but the official who knew the truth and the guards with knives. People originally brought gifts to thank you, but you thought that others were coming to beat you, and you voted directly without resisting, which is very embarrassing. If he had told Ge Wei the news, Ge Wei would have vomited blood and died.

The next day, Chen Guang left the rest of his troops in Ge Guo, and then set off with his personal guards.

"I really didn't expect it." These five words, Hong Jiang has said dozens of times in the past two days, he really never dreamed that Ge Guo actually chose to surrender without even starting a war.

Although Chen Guang didn't expect it, but after careful reflection, he could still deduce Ge Wei's intention to do this. To be honest, he admired Ge Wei for building such a country from scratch. As we all know, there is no easy way to start a business.

However, under such a situation of great unification, such a small country is destined to not survive for long, as if it will not end well with the state monopoly industry to grab jobs.

But despite this, Chen Guang still replied: "I really didn't expect it." "I didn't expect it, I thought that persuasion would be coercive and tempting, but I didn't say a word and the other side had been obediently sent to the door, I really didn't expect it.

Yes, since Hong Jiang felt that he couldn't fight, Chen Guang decided to rely on his lips to defeat Ge Guo, which is why he wanted to see Ge Wei. Otherwise, do you really think that you have nothing to do after a full meal, and walk hundreds of miles more to thank you?

Are you trolling me? (To be continued.) )
