Ji Yuan came to negotiate with a delegation of envoys, but Emperor Min was ill for two days and could not quit the court.
Ji Yuan failed to go to the court to meet him, but he saw most of the important ministers of the court of Fujian in Chen Jian, and when Emperor Min saw this, he couldn't help but get sick, and quickly recovered from his illness and went to the court.
Then Ji Yuan saw Emperor Min in the court.
He is very old, and he covets women, his health is not good, he has not slept well since he knew that Ji Yuan was coming, and his eyes were blue and black at this time, but his expression was tense.
Ji Yuan smiled when he saw it, and after visiting the shrine, he went straight to the point and mentioned the purpose of his visit.
Chen saw that he hated iron and did not make steel, and glanced at Emperor Min, and circled with Ji Yuan.
He knew that the unification of the world was the trend, but he also had to strive for the greatest interests for Emperor Min and the people of Fujian.
Therefore, his request was that after Min surrendered to Liang, Min would become a vassal state and remain autonomous.
Of course Ji Yuan didn't agree, wouldn't Fujian still be a unique country?
However, he said that Liang had good intentions towards Fujian and would do his best to meet Min's demands.
His proposal was that Min could be a fief for the Min Emperor, and that the Liang Emperor would give him the title of prince and still enjoy a respected status, but that the officials of the Min would be appointed by the imperial court like other Daozhou.
In that way, Emperor Min has no real power, but he can enjoy Fujian food.
Ji Yuan has a three-inch tongue, and he can say ten points in his mouth, and Emperor Min, who was still resisting, was a little moved when he heard him count the benefits of lowering the beam for half an hour.
Ji Yuan smiled and promised: "Your Majesty should know that my Majesty Liang is famous for his kindness, and since he promised King Min, he will not break his promise." β
The chamberlain beside Emperor Min also whispered: "Your Majesty, after the Liang is lowered, you are still the biggest king of Fujian, but you can move around and go anywhere in the Liang Kingdom." It is said that there are beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River, but the little ones have never seen them, maybe they can see it with His Majesty in this life. β
Emperor Min glanced at him and said, "Nonsense, am I the kind of person who only thinks about beauty?" β
But it's very exciting.
The chamberlain whispered again: "Of course Your Majesty is not such a person, but state affairs are tiring, you are handed over to the Prime Minister now, and to Emperor Liang in the future, isn't it all the same, it's just that the person entrusted to you is different." β
Emperor Min squinted slightly, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he was about to ask a question, when he heard Chen Jian say angrily: "Your Majesty, you should think twice about this matter." Mr. Ji, if Fujian is your Majesty's food, and Your Majesty doesn't care about the actual government, where will the local finances come from? And where should we go from here? Do we still have to take the imperial examination with a group of children when we are old? β
Emperor Min was not happy when he heard it, it was you who wanted to descend, and it was you who did not descend, what do you want to do?
Mr. Ji smiled and said: "Chen Xiang rest assured, the imperial court naturally has an arrangement, my proposal is that every year, six of the Fujian land will become the local finance, and the remaining forty percent will be given to the king of Fujian." As for your Excellency,"
He smiled slightly and said, "Now that Daliang is in short supply, all of you are experienced people, so there will naturally be proper arrangements at that time." β
"Oh?" Chen Jian asked, "What kind of arrangement, the official character is not inferior to the present, or will it all fall?" Do you appoint them all, or do you choose them? β
Emperor Min became anxious, interrupted Chen Jian's words, and said, "Mr. Ji, isn't it too much to take sixty percent of the local finances. β
The ministers were silent, and Chen Jian also hated iron and steel, and after luck, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since Fujian has returned to Liang, this Liang court will definitely help Fujian in the future, and Your Majesty does not have to worry about the people." β
He doesn't worry about that, he worries about himself, what can he do with only forty percent of the food households?
Mr. Ji wished that Emperor Min would muddy the waters, and said with a smile: "King Min rest assured, in addition to the forty percent of the food, the Huangzhuang shop and other industries under your name will not be recovered." β
Then he talked to Emperor Min about how much he could spend less and how much he would benefit if he surrendered.
The expression on Chen Jian's face slowly calmed down, forget it, let's talk to Ji Yuan later, with Emperor Min here, it is just a loss to talk at this time.
Emperor Min was easy to coax, but Chen Jian and the courtiers behind him were not easy to fool, and Ji Yuan talked with them for more than two months before finalizing the negotiation results.
Emperor Min wrote to the Great Liang, and the people of Fujian were willing to surrender to the Liang State, and only hoped that the world would be unified and there would be no war.
When the letter of state arrived in Liangdu, the monarch and the ministers were overjoyed, and Emperor Liang immediately approved it, and named Emperor Min as the king of Fujian, hereditary replacement, and made arrangements one by one according to Ji Yuan's excerpts.
Fujian was re-incorporated into Jiangnan Province and was managed by Sun Huai, who was observed by Jiangnan.
Then he quickly appointed a series of Fujian ministers such as Chen Jian, and invited people to the capital to take important positions.
The prefectures of Fujian restored the title of the Tang Dynasty, and temporarily elected officials from the team of the Fujian court to serve as assassins.
These people are all recommended by Ji Yuan, I dare not say that they are absolutely good, but they are relatively suitable.
Because they are all from Fujian, there is a transition, and Emperor Liang did not rush into it.
Seeing that the king of Min was still a courtier he was familiar with, he was satisfied, and began to pack up his things and go to Liangdu to meet Emperor Liang, and specially asked people to stay in Suzhou and Yangzhou for a few more days.
It is said that there are beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Suzhou and Yangzhou, so he has to see more.
Because it was winter, King Min was old again, and everyone was afraid that something would happen to him, so he was not in a hurry on the road, walked leisurely, and stopped to rest once he was tired.
So when the news reached Shu, their group was still lingering in the south of the Yangtze River.
There is no way, the king of Min has never been out of Fujian in his life, and this is the first time he has seen the scenery outside.
Especially the beauties in Jiangnan, his eyes are straight.
The officials in Jiangnan were very respectful to him, he didn't feel any different from before, so he deeply felt that it was not bad to lower the beam, at least he could get out of Fujian, right?
Emperor Shu is much more promising than him, he has his own ambitions, and he also has scheming methods, and he is much stronger than Emperor Liang.
So after hearing the news of the surrender of the Min Kingdom, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
At that moment, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that Emperor Liang would be reincarnated and have a good father, stronger than him!
The resistance of the Shu soldiers was high, and Xiang Shan and others deliberately publicized this matter, which only made the other party's morale a little low.
But that's enough.
The three armies marched together and began to take the opportunity to suppress the Shu soldiers, as long as the other side lost a few more battles, it could always shake their military and people's hearts.
Emperor Shu immediately made a decision, led the troops to recruit in person, this battle was particularly difficult, and when the Liang army finally forced the Shu court to retreat to the border of Tibet step by step, it was three years later, and the king of Min settled in Jiangnan, built another courtyard, and played for two years.
Emperor Shu knew that the general trend had gone, so he called the generals and ministers who were still accompanying him, and then found the queen and the crown prince, and sighed: "The general trend has gone, you should go to the future." β
"Your Majestyβ"
Emperor Shu raised his hand, and said to the queen and the prince: "Emperor Liang is not as good as his father, but he is very similar, and his heart is quite broad-minded. β
