493, Negotiations
In fact, as early as the moment he stood in Baiyun Village, he had already realized that he had lost the initiative in negotiations, and directly let the draft he had made at the beginning also stillborn, so that now he can only lure him with fame and fortune.
But obviously, the Song family is not the kind of person who cares about power, fortunately, they still have a weakness, that is, the innocence of the Song family, which is their arrogance as loyal ministers.
If they want to clear their name, then the best way is to choose a new Ming monarch, based on what his imperial brother did before, presumably the Song family will never be loyal to him again.
And judging from the Song family's loyalty to the national court, they can't do anything to rebel, because that kind of good reputation will only fall for the old man Song.
But Chu Shenghuai is different, he has more of a righteous and bright identity than their Song family, and where the Song family is bound, he can do it with confidence.
This is also what gives him a little confidence to recruit the Song family, if the Song family joins, then he will be even more justified.
But now it seems that the Song family is far more capable than they imagined.
Will they really be able to do what they want?
But now, he desperately needs the help of the Song family, so even if they will be a very strong potential threat in the future, he can't care about it so much.
β.β Song Shaoqin silently listened to King An's heart-to-heart words, and he also laughed in his heart.
Is the other party too self-righteous? Or are their Song family too naΓ―ve?
He can still listen to the previous words, after all, what is said is the current situation and the truth, but the latter words, he can't listen to them.
Rapist? Qingjun side?
This banner is really loud!
In what capacity does their Song family have on the side of the Qing monarch? As courtiers, they are loyal to the king!
Even if this gentleman is mediocre, it can't be that their Song family took the lead in rebellion, and the meaning of this is different.
In this feudal dynasty whose reputation is greater than the sky, the morality of monarchs and ministers has never been just talk.
If they still want to take the orthodox road in the future, then these reputations are the standard for judging them, but if there is a little stain, it will become a handle for being attacked by the world.
This King An made a good calculation and used their good reputation to build momentum, but the bad things were for them to do, and if nothing else, they would definitely press the name of killing the monarch on the head of their Song family in the end.
And he got clean out of it.
It is true that their Song family is loyal to the monarch and the country, but they are not fools, and this is not a reason to fiddle with them at will.
Song Shaoqin slowly put down the teacup and said calmly, "King An's praise, our Song family is really ashamed, now the Song family is some guilty people, after this incident, they really can't stand the toss, I just hope to be able to live the second half of my life here in peace."
We have no intention of being in the struggle for power, and there is one thing that our Song family will not change, that is, we are from Eastern Chu, only loyal to the king of Eastern Chu, and have no dissenting intentions to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. β
It is true that their Song family can't do anything to expose the uprising, but it doesn't mean that their Song family is really inactive, according to the stigma on their Song family's head, they will naturally get rid of it, but not in this way.
They also don't want to be in the company of high-sounding people like King An, and they can prove it to the world in their own way.
It can only be said that Chu Shenghuai miscalculated.
They won't rebel so stupidly, what they want is for the people to send them to the door willingly, no, they should take the initiative to join their team.
The fragrance of flowers and butterflies comes, and the phoenix must come!
At that time, it will be the real time, place and people, and their Song family is the highest standard of morality.
"You!!"
King An suddenly stood up angrily, pointed at the other party with some annoyance, and was speechless for a while.
This is a good thing to say, but the meaning of the rejection is obvious, this result is greatly beyond his expectations, he did not expect that the Song family would reject his alliance at all.
He thought that the Song family cared so much about reputation, and now that they were stigmatized like this by the imperial brother, then they must be very aggrieved and unconvinced, as long as they were given a chance, they would inevitably fight back to clear their name.
However, now, Song Shaoqin's meaning is obviously that their Song family chose to remain neutral, not to rebel, and to reject the alliance.
At this moment, Chu Shenghuai really couldn't understand the Song family's thoughts.
What are they trying to do?
"Don't you really care about the stigma attached to you? Are you willing to live in this small mountain village for the rest of your life? The people outside are suffering, and you are also sitting idly by? β
Chu Shenghuai tried to use innocent people to move Song Shaoqin, because he knew that the Song family would care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people.
"This matter will be managed by the imperial court, and with King An's care, where is the need for us sinners? However, Baiyun Village can accept refugees from all over the world and will not sit idly by. β
Song Shaoqin still said unhurriedly, this King An doesn't want to think about it, how can this world still withstand internal wars?
It is not easy to deal with natural and man-made disasters, and the lives of ordinary people are in the midst of water and fire, how can they provide any food and manpower?
Even this conscription is also difficult, and there will definitely be many people fleeing from their place of residence, and I am afraid that the situation will be even more chaotic at that time.
Therefore, even if their Song family agreed to his proposal, there would not be enough grain and grass to support them to reach the capital.
Of course, this is on the premise of excluding the rich girl of his family.
With his family Ning Ning here, why do they still need to cooperate with King An, wouldn't they make a wedding dress for him in vain? In the end, you may not get anything.
With this ability, why can't they do it themselves? Therefore, he never considered cooperating with other forces.
"Bang!"
Chu Shenghuai slapped it on the table suddenly, and now he was really angry.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell my imperial brother about your situation here? Maybe the Xiao family will send troops to encircle and suppress this village, what will you fight against at that time? β
This Song Shaoqin is really a toast and doesn't eat and drink!
He begged them for an alliance with them in a good voice, and they were so ignorant of what was good or bad.
In addition to relying on him Chu Shenghuai, who else can they turn to?!
In the realm of Eastern Chu, in addition to his imperial brother, it is also his King An who can protect their Song family.
Song Shaoqin quickly bowed down, "King An is angry, our family has not done anything violated, the holy decree has exiled us here, we have honestly built houses and farmed here, and we have not stepped out of the Southern Barbarians, let alone the idea of recruiting troops and horses to rebel, what is the crime?"
As for the token that King Fang Cai An said, it was just a token for mobilizing the Song family's army, but it had already been taken away by the Xiao family as early as the time of the accident, and there was no so-called private guard at all, and we also made it clear that our family just wanted to live a stable life. β
Good night~
