Chapter 670: A Bargain
"There's only one thing here." Zixi said lightly, "Please ask the Murong family to stop the supply of grain and grass to the border army, withdraw all the forces of the Murong family, and submit to the court of the Ling Kingdom after the Empress of the Ling Kingdom recovers the territory of Beiling." ”
Murong Rin's eyes were slight: "Why?" ”
Why?
"I can quietly take off the head of the Ouyang family." Zixi took a leisurely sip of tea, and his tone was calm, "The Murong family is very powerful, and there are many people available around the head of the family, and those who are in charge everywhere are the wealth of the Murong family. Although these people have enough manpower around them to protect them, the head of the Murong family should know how to defend with a hundred secrets, and he will be completely defeated in the face of absolute strength. ”
Murong Rin didn't speak, and took a sip of tea in silence.
"Today's Xiaolu should let the head of the Murong family see the facts, it's not that I'm bluffing." Zixi smiled faintly, "The Beiling Imperial Family will be destroyed sooner or later, even if the Murong family is a big family, if the imperial court wants to deal with you, do you think you have room to compete?" ”
Murong Rin's expression was slightly cold: "If the imperial court wants to move the Murong family, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
"It's not that easy." Zixi nodded, "Even if you look at the entire Ling Kingdom, the Murong family can be regarded as the first court of the family. But if the imperial court really wants to make a move, the head of the Murong family has little chance of winning - or it can be said that it is a lose-lose situation. ”
Murong Rin didn't speak, he obviously agreed with the statement that both sides would lose.
"The Lingguo has an iron heart to recover its territory, and the Fengwang of Beiling and the prince of Nanling are now in the edict of Lingguo." Zixi raised his eyes and looked at Murong Rin, "Wen Renyuan once said that the submission of the royal family does not mean the submission of the family, but I don't believe it. ”
Murong Rin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were cold.
"The world is so big that it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Zixi smiled lightly, "Use the army to deal with traitors, and deal with disobedient merchants...... Does the head of the Murong family know what to use? ”
Murong Rin pursed his lips, his eyes were slight.
"The royal family has the Xuanyin Palace, which is the sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and he does not go to the battlefield, but does something for the Son of Heaven that cannot be done on the surface." Zixi narrowed his eyes, his eyebrows were calm and wise, "The head of the Murong family thinks that those dead soldiers who he raised can fight against the Xuanyin Guard of the Imperial Court?" ”
If you don't accept it, you will kill.
This is the attitude of the imperial court, the attitude of the empress.
Murong Rin heard it, and Murong Liufeng also heard it.
There was a moment of silence in the study.
Zi Xifu spoke again: "Of course, Your Majesty doesn't mean to let the Murong family fold the book, this time I can cure Ling Mei's leg disease, which can be regarded as a sincerity; In addition, His Majesty has promised that as long as the Murong family submits to the imperial court, the Beiling salt and iron business will still be controlled by the Murong family, and let the Murong family become the imperial merchants. ”
The empress's meaning is simple and straightforward, all she wants is the submission of the family and taxes according to the law, although the tax will be a lot of money for a big family like the Murong family.
But the empress did not mean to take advantage of it.
The promise she gave was almost a tie for the Murong family, even if it was a little unfair, Murong Xi's legs were enough to tie it out.
It's a good deal.
Long before coming to Beiling, Zixi had made up his mind about Murong Rin, and he would choose to lose both with the court unless his brain was in water.
