The terrible pressure hit like a mountain, making Guo Yan's back soaked in cold sweat.

It was only at this time that he really felt what the imperial spirit was, which was not something that his small ambitious feudal official could afford.

And he could feel more clearly that everything Sun Ning said just now was not a lie, and he really dared to do those threats.

But he surrendered like this, where did he put Taiwei Guo's face?

In the future, how should I gain a foothold in Liangzhou?

All kinds of worries, mixed with strong fear, made Guo Yan fall into silence in an instant, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Just when the atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense and solemn, it seemed that Sun Ning would order to drag people out and cut them down the next moment, but one person stumbled straight into the hall.

As soon as he arrived at the hall, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is gracious! I beg Your Majesty to spare my father's life...... My second uncle has been killed, and Liangzhou is already in your hands, we no longer have the power to dare to have two hearts! Please be gracious to Your Majesty......"

As he spoke, he kowtowed again and again, and in a few clicks, his forehead was already red.

Not only Guo Yan, but also Sun Ning and the others were also caught off guard by this moment, and only shouted after a while: "Stop him!" ”

When someone grabbed the person who still wanted to kowtow, Sun Ning stared at him: "Guo Chong, don't think that you can be proud of your achievements if you help me do something big this time, and you don't even take me seriously." ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just ...... I just don't want to see my dad have an accident. Dad, don't you understand, now Liangzhou has long been out of your control, if you want to keep more than 100 members of my Guo family, you can only confess your guilt......"

The expression on Guo Yan's face at this time was more complicated than just now, and after seeing the eldest son suddenly run in and plead with the emperor, he had immediately figured out some questions.

Obviously, Guo Chong must have made a great effort in Sun Ning's seizure of Liangzhou this time, that is to say, this guy betrayed himself and the entire Guo family from the beginning!

It's ridiculous that I've been ignoring his usefulness all along, and now it seems that I'm really completely blind.

"You...... You rebel! Guo Yan's anger burned, but in the end, it converged into such an angry reprimand.

"Dad, I just see deeper and farther than you...... Do you think this foundation can really be done now? I'm afraid that in the end, not only will I not be able to achieve what I want, but I will also put my Guo family's century-old foundation and reputation into it.

"Dad, wake up, if you don't face some things, it really doesn't exist? Do you think this Liangzhou has always been in our hands? ”

One sentence was like a slap in the face, which completely extinguished Guo Yan's anger and made his whole person fall into silence in an instant.

Some things that he had been avoiding and not thinking about for many years resurfaced in his heart at this time, and his confidence was weakened again.

At the same time, an idea was also born, that is, behind this change, there is also the participation of that force?

If that's the case, you won't lose unjustly.

After all, that force was something that he never thought he could defeat.

They are amazingly powerful, pervasive, and ubiquitous, and it is so easy to deal with themselves and change people to high positions.

Sun Ning also restrained the momentum just now at this time, and waited for a long time before he spoke again: "Guo Yan, let me ask you one last time, will it fall or not?" ”

"Your Majesty, are you really willing to let me go and no longer pursue my Guo family?" Guo Yan asked rhetorically.

But everyone understands that what seems to be a rhetorical question is actually already making a stand and wanting to surrender and soften.

"Of course, since I am a king, I still have this kind of heart. What's more, if it weren't for Guo Chong to help me this time, it would not be possible to set things right so smoothly, even if I only look at his credit, I will not pursue your Guo family's past mistakes. ”

"Can the minister ask His Majesty one more thing? How did you easily control the officials of the city and let them work for you? ”

"It's simple, because they have the handle in my hands, and they have no choice but to work with me."

Sun Ning was also real, and briefly said his previous planning methods, which made Yu Shiting and the others look worried and ashamed, and lowered their heads.

Guo Yan, on the other hand, became very calm at this time, and only sighed softly: "So from the very beginning, you have already made corresponding arrangements." It's me, who has always underestimated Your Majesty, and really wanted to treat you as a puppet, but I put myself in it.

"So to be honest, Your Majesty's mental means are actually far superior to mine.

"Even this unscrupulous son, whom I have always looked down on, is actually above me in terms of true mind and vision......"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Guo Chong again, making the latter look ashamed and bow his head.

But Guo Yan just sighed, and didn't mean to continue to investigate, but after a long breath, he said: "In this way, it seems that I am indeed not wronged to lose in such hands."

"There is a way that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, since you young people are so good, the front waves like me should indeed abdicate and make way for the virtuous, so that you can deal with the current situation.

"Your Majesty, I, Guo Yan, am willing to surrender here, and according to your wishes, recall the soldiers and horses, hand over the military power, and hand over the entire Liangzhou to you!"

After saying this, Guo Yan's originally upright body collapsed, and the whole person began to lose his spirit as if he was unburdened, and in the blink of an eye, he was as old as ten or twenty years old.

Sun Ning smiled and nodded: "Taiwei Guo can focus on the overall situation, it is really a blessing for my Dayue Imperial Court!" Don't worry, I will do what I say, and I won't embarrass you and the Guo family because of what happened before.

"Next, you can rest at home with peace of mind, and Guo Chong will manage the place on your behalf!"

While saying this, in fact, Sun Ning also felt a sense of relief.

Don't look at his aggressive momentum just now, he really dares to come to a dead fish and break the net.

But in fact, he was also afraid, after all, there were still hundreds of thousands of troops outside, as well as hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.

But now it's okay, Guo Yan finally gave up resistance and chose to cooperate.

In this way, as long as he sent a letter to the front line, recalled the army, and added his own arrangements, Liangzhou, and the more than 100,000 elites under his command, all fell into his own hands.

Coupled with the tens of thousands of people in Nanyang, this made him truly master the conditions and chips that he could gain a firm foothold in this troubled world and take another step.

And the other people in the hall also relaxed at this time, they were also very nervous, for fear that they would not be able to talk and bring disaster to their own family.

Now, it's a real joy for all.
