Chapter 609: I, Li Ke, am a person who likes to be reasonable
When Li Ke walked here, the gate of Xianglin City behind him had already opened, and Shi Lang inside led more than a thousand soldiers to join Liu Yilong's Tang army, and sat on the side waiting for the adaptation.
The safety and security of the city was sorted out by a thousand soldiers led by Liu Yilong.
The two guards moved a chair for Li Ke, Li Ke sat down on the chair, and Fan Yanzhi knelt in front of him.
"Actually, I'm really here to talk about business, and the things in this city have nothing to do with me, do you believe it?" Li Ke looked at Fan Yanzhi helplessly and asked.
"I believe it." Fan Yanzhi didn't know what to think, but he agreed anyway.
Li Ke was a little speechless, "I don't think you believe it, let me tell you, I'm really here to talk about business, and my fleet is carrying all the materials that came over this time." ”
Fan Yanzhi: "......"
Isn't it important to talk about business? My country is gone, and you still tell me this?
"Your Highness, does this matter? I'm defeated now anyway. Fan Yanzhi was a little crying and laughing, he wanted to cry because he was defeated and his fate was in the hands of others, but Li Ke's tangled questions made him a little speechless, what you shouldn't care about at this time is how to deal with this country? Or ask Lin Yiguo if there is anything like that?
What's the point of you struggling with me, believe it or not?
"Important! Because that's the truth! Li Ke said seriously.
Fan Yanzhi: "Your Highness, it's like a murderer killing a person, and then the official in charge of the trial found out the truth more than a hundred years later, but this is meaningless, I have been defeated, is it important for Your Highness to come to talk about business?" ”
"Of course it's important, I, Li Ke, am a peace-loving person, how can I lead an army to fight for no reason? It's about my reputation, of course. Li Ke said seriously.
Fan Yanzhi looked at the heavily armed, steel-armored guards standing behind Li Ke, each of whom was equipped with Tang swords and bows and arrows. The soldiers in the distance were even more Tang swords, bows and arrows, and spears, and they seemed to be even made of stainless steel.
And such soldiers, at least more than five thousand!
"Your Highness, are you so peace-loving?" Fan Yanzhi pointed to the guards beside Li Ke and said.
"Of course! I'm a person who likes to be reasonable, and these guards around me are so that others can listen to me seriously, which is not a conflict. Li Ke nodded, "You see, just now I asked you to bring five people to see me, but you didn't go, and you dared to attack me, which led to the current situation, which is all your fault." ”
Fan Yanzhi: "......"
"Then Your Highness, if I go to see you, will you not take this opportunity to take down Lin Yi?" Fan Yanzhi paused, and then asked with a wry smile.
"Of course not." Li Ke said as a matter of course, "How could I let go of such a good opportunity, but at that time, these soldiers will not die, I will negotiate with you in a reasonable way, let you sell Lin Yiguo to me, and then go to Chang'an to be a free prince, isn't it good?" ”
Fan Yanzhi: "......" let your guards reason with Tang knives and bows and arrows, right?
"I may not have told you, I sold the whole country to me in one of the countries of the Western Regions, and then I am very happy every day in Chang'an, after all, if it is like your Linyi, what is there to do in the Western Regions? If you want to say it's fun, you have to look at me Datang Chang'an. Li Ke looked at him and said.
Fan Yanzhi: "...... "Of course you haven't told me, we haven't seen each other, how can you tell me?" Is there really such a fool in the world who sells his country?
"Your Highness, it's useless to talk more, what are you going to do with me." Fan Yanzhi said with a calm face.
"In this way, you write an edict yourself, saying that you listened to slander and took the initiative to provoke His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and launched an attack on His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty without authorization, and then led to such a result." Li Ke thought for a while and said.
Fan Yanzhi: "......"
"Yes." What else can he say, it can only be what His Royal Highness King Qin says.
"Then I won't kill you, you go to Chang'an, as for how my father arranges for you, that's my father's business, if your family and the like don't die, they will follow you to Chang'an. But there is one thing, you have to point out all the nobles of Linyi, then send troops to arrest them all, and then order them to be executed! and handed over their property to the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty to deal with. Li Ke said lightly.
"Yes......" The corners of Fan Yanzhi's mouth twitched, but he still agreed.
"Excellent! You see, I'll just say that I'm a person who likes to be reasonable, and you're also a person who likes to listen to reason. Zeng Zi said, I am three times a day, and I am not loyal to others? Fan Wang is indeed a humble and introspective, sensitive and studious person. Li Ke nodded with satisfaction.
Fan Yanzhi: "......" It's good if you're happy, anyway, now you have the final say.
"Alright, now Your Majesty, you can lead the army and arrest all the people who need to be arrested." Li Ke said lightly.
"Yes!" Fan Yanzhi didn't say anything, he was too busy to take care of himself, and it was difficult to protect himself, as for the others, what did it have to do with him? Even if he ordered the other party to be beheaded, it had nothing to do with him Fan Yanzhi.
Let Fan Yanzhi go down, and Li Ke asked people to bring the leader of the rebel army in the city.
Shi Lang quickly appeared in front of Li Ke, and after seeing Li Ke, Shi Lang directly gave Li Ke a Tang courtesy, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, Shi Lang, a remnant of the former Central Plains, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”
"What's your name?" Li Ke was stunned by his name for a moment, and subconsciously asked.
"Shi Lang." Shi Lang repeated.
"Which one?" Li Ke asked.
Shi Lang told Li Ke his name, Li Ke looked him up and down, and then said, "Not bad, good name." You organized this uprising? ”
Hearing the word uprising, Shi Lang was immediately relieved, and he said very simply: "Yes, Your Highness, the ministers are really forced to be helpless, we are all remnants of the Central Plains, and this was once the territory of my Chinese orthodoxy, but later my Huaxia Dynasty rebelled several times and fell into weakness, and some local wealthy nobles rebelled and established themselves as kings, so that they became this Linyi country, and the name came from the Xianglinyi of the Han Dynasty." ”
Li Ke looked at Shi Lang, this is a smart person, this is a good thing to say. Aren't most of the powerful dynastic names in this Southeast Asian country derived from Chinese influences?
For example, the famous Annan in later generations came from the Annan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, we don't want to be rich and noble, we just want to be ordinary people and be able to live well, but King Linyi disregards the suffering of the people and wantonly raises taxes, which is the reason for our uprising."
