Chapter 149
Meng Chang was finally secretly sent to the Jinling Palace.
Baili Wuji arranged for a secret meeting in the study.
"Your Majesty." After all, Baili Wuji still gave Meng Chang the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
"The king of Chu can't, Chang can escape from the tiger's mouth and be reincarnated as a human being, and he has to thank the king of Chu for saving him with righteousness, and His Majesty never dares to mention the word again. After the king of Chu, it was called Changzi Baoyuan. ”
Meng Chang was captured for several months, and finally knew some truths, there are capable people living in this world, and he has obviously been abandoned, if he is forced, his life must be difficult to protect.
Baili Wuji looked at Meng Chang silently, this person is indeed not suitable to be an emperor, but he has a good literary talent, it's a pity. Meng Chang can take the initiative to Zen the position, and it also saves Baili Wuji, as Baili Wuji expected, since Meng Chang was able to lead more than 100,000 soldiers to surrender in order to survive before, then he will definitely not fight to the death with Baili Wuji for the throne, not to mention, Meng Chang still owes Baili Wuji the love to rescue him from Guo Wei.
It's just that this year's Guo Wei's extermination of Shu has completely disrupted Baili Wuji's previous plan, with Baili Wuji's plan, because Guo Wei and Chai Rong only have so many years to live, they originally planned to find an opportunity to annex Zhou and complete the national unification first.
And now that the Shu State is destroyed, forcing Baili Wuji to send troops to recover Shu and fight with Guo Wei once, it is now impossible to annex it, the territory of Chu State plus the territory of Shu State, Baili Wuji controls twice as much land as Zhou in his hands, at this time, if Baili Wuji proposes to annex Zhou State, it must be impossible for Guo Wei to believe it, and it is known by the subjects of Chu State. Baili Wuji will definitely be scolded as a traitor.
Baili Wuji originally wanted to change the war between the two countries into a civil war after annexation, so as to minimize casualties and losses. But now, Baili Wuji has to prepare for the final battle with the Zhou State.
Perhaps this is the so-called plan not keeping up with the changes.
Meng Chang is also silently watching Baili Wuji, this person, who started from the land of attacking the three states of Shu, although he is still the king of Chu, his territory far exceeds the self-proclaimed orthodox Zhou State, plus the territory of the Shu State now. is already twice the size of Zhou, I have to say that Meng Chang is still grateful for Baili Wuji's rescue.
For this annihilation. Meng Chang was already disheartened, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out by more than 70,000 Zhou troops in two months, this is not a joke, and himself. It's the hero of this joke.
Now. Meng Chang just wants to live peacefully, and the only hope in his heart is to let Baili Wuji help him avenge and destroy the revenge of Shu Kingdom. Meng Chang is convinced that after Baili Wuji, with the land of Shu, it will be like a tiger with wings, and it will destroy the Zhou State in the near future. Unify the Central Plains.
And yourself, take the initiative to concede. It's better than just assassination, after Baili Wuji unifies the Central Plains, he must be able to live a stable life.
Meng Chang knew that if he didn't take the initiative to concede, Baili Wuji just didn't want to usurp the throne, and his subordinates might do it, and then Baili Wuji would definitely not pursue the crimes of his subordinates, but often acquiesced. Meng Chang himself has been an emperor, and this is the way of the king, and he still understands some of it.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and many words were unspoken.
In the end, it was Meng Chang who said: "I have already decided that the current day Chan is located in the King of Chu, as for how to arrange me, it is all up to the King of Chu to make a decision, but I also hope that the King of Chu will let me live a peaceful life with Mrs. Hua Rui for the sake of Princess Xi." ”
Hearing this, Baili Wuji bowed his head slightly, and said: "Since Baoyuan has decided, Wuji will do it, Baoyuan can rest assured, if Wuji is alive for a day, he will let Baoyuan enjoy peace." Wuji arranged it like this, Bao Yuan came over to take a look. ”
Meng Chang heard the sound and looked at the map with Baili Wuji.
"Baoyuan, please see, this place is called Liuqiu, Wuji sent someone to investigate, the land is equivalent to the size of Gyeongju plus Nanping, there are nearly 200,000 people on it, and it is also close to Quanzhou in Chu State, but it is only half a day's boat journey. If Bao Yuan has no objection, Wuji will first arrange for the army to go over to pacify, and then immigrate 100,000, and when everything is ready, Bao Yuan can go here to be a king of peace, how about it? ”
Meng Chang was stunned, didn't he send himself to the ground? But what can be done, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads. Although he was reluctant, he could only bow his head and be speechless.
Baili Wuji saw that Meng Chang was not happy, and said kind words to comfort: "Baoyuan don't worry, when Wuji is arranged, you can go and see it in person, if you still feel that it is not suitable, Wuji will arrange another place, okay?" ”
Hearing that there was still hope for not going to the barbarian land, Meng Chang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Baili Wuji gratefully: "King Xie Chu." ”
Baili Wuji smiled helplessly, and said to Meng Chang: "Baoyuan has suffered these days, Wuji has already arranged a place to live, and when Baoyuan sees Mrs. Hua Rui, he will go to rest." ”
When Meng Chang heard that Mrs. Hua Rui was coming, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the great grace of King Chu." ”
Baili Wuji summoned someone to summon Mrs. Blossom.
When Madame Hua Rui saw Meng Chang, she exclaimed sadly: "Your Majesty ......." And he went forward.
Meng Chang was even more teary-eyed, pounced on him, and the two hugged each other and cried, completely ignoring the existence of Baili Wuji.
Baili Wuji didn't want to be a light bulb, sighed lightly, and went out.
……。
Baili Wuji made peace talks with Zhou without consulting the officials of Chu State, which caused an uproar in Chu State.
The officials of the State of Chu were not dissatisfied with Baili Wuji's private agreement, but were dissatisfied with the content of the peace treaty, and were very dissatisfied.
The two factions represented by Sun Guangxian and Feng Dao unanimously believed that Baili Wuji was suspected of betraying the interests of the Chu State.
Even Xu Shiming has a lot of complaints, thinking that Baili Wuji signed this contract for personal purposes.
And the officers of the northbound faction led by Liu Renzhen and Chen Yanzheng even accused Baili Wuji of being untrustworthy and saying that they would go north to resist Liao, but as a result, Baili Yi had already hit Dizhou, which was only separated from Cangzhou by the sixteen states of Yanyun, but was strictly ordered to withdraw by Baili Wuji.
There was a complaint from top to bottom in the Chu State.
Baili Wuji felt deeply angry and hid in the palace study every day.
At this time, more and more Shu officials asked for an explanation, and the arrival of the two envoys of the original Shu Yongping and Wutai made the Shu officials feel that their strength has increased greatly.
The ninth day of the seventh month of the fourteenth year of Shu Guangzheng (951).
Baili Wuji finally summoned officials from Chu and Shu who were above the five grades, including Shu Yongping and Wutai, two festival envoys Cao Guangshi and Han Jixun, to meet together in Jinling Mansion.
Just when the officials of Chu and Shu secretly speculated about Baili Wuji's intentions, when Meng Chang appeared in the court with Madame Hua Rui, the ministers were in an uproar.
Whether it is an official of the State of Chu or an official of the State of Shu, they all think that Baili Wuji is crazy.
How could someone who is not crazy come from such a ridiculous move. (To be continued......)
