Zhan Long pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about this person's merits and demerits for the time being. [No pop-up novel network] (first release) This king has some opinions on his final rebellion. If he is in the south and does not covet the Qing Dynasty, he may be able to spend his old age in peace. As long as the fief and title are not lost, no one can do anything to him. ”

Song Li knew that Zhan Long was substituted into Wu Sangui's role, although the previous experience was different, but after becoming the vassal king, Zhan Long's approach had many similarities with Wu Sangui. The same self-respecting army, the same disobedience to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the management of a country within a country.

Zhan Long said this completely unexpectedly for Song Li, he smiled faintly and continued: "Lord Wang, as the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop. Even if Wu Sangui had no objections, would the emperor of the Qing Dynasty allow him to favor the south? A strong imperial government would never tolerate anyone running a country within a state. ”

"Wu Sangui's fault lies in the fact that he doesn't know the current affairs, if he can hand over the territory and military power as soon as possible and accept the reduction of the imperial court, he should be able to be a prince of peace in the second half of his life, and enjoy all the wealth and glory in his life. However, power is poison, and once it is touched, it will be difficult to let him go. ”

It can be said that Wu Sangui knew that his rebellion would not succeed, and it would be a dead end, but he still chose to raise troops without hesitation. In the final analysis, isn't it that he can't let go of the word 'power'? So he died, and his death was worthless. The prince thinks that which choice is better, whether to be ruined or to be a prince of peace?"

With the wisdom of the war dragon, he naturally knew that Song Li was using this story to insinuate him. In fact, he naturally understands these truths, and he also knows that with the temperament of the Holy Emperor, he will never tolerate the three southern counties to become the ** kingdom outside his jurisdiction. If this continues, sooner or later there will be a decision between him and the imperial court.

Although they have 500,000 soldiers, they have more than enough troops to protect themselves, and if they really want to rebel, it is estimated that the probability of failure is far greater than success. Just like what he and his son analyzed earlier, they rebelled, without any justifiable excuse, since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, and the teachers have no name, that is, the rebels and thieves, who will stand aside with you?

The best way may be to accept the imperial court's reduction of the domain, hand over the territory and military power, and return to the imperial capital to become a rich prince. Although the Holy Emperor is not a good person, if he takes the initiative to accept the cutting of the domain, the Holy Emperor will definitely give him a lifetime of wealth and wealth. The emperor's mind is powerful and virtuous. If you kill all those who give in to you, your enemies will play with you in the future.

However, as Song Li said, power is like poison, as long as it is stained, it is difficult to let go. The three southern counties are so rich, he is like a fish in water here, although he is not the Holy Emperor, but among the three southern counties, his powerful position is no different from the Holy Emperor, and many people only know the King of Jingnan and do not know which onion the Holy Emperor is.

mixed up with him, and suddenly asked him to give up all this and return to the imperial capital to be a rich idler, which is inevitably too difficult for a strong person.

Select ...... Choose ......" War Dragon muttered, "This is a difficult choice......

"Actually, I think if I hadn't been so greedy in the early stage, the situation wouldn't have been so bad. Song Li glanced at Zhan Long deeply, as if he had seen it in his heart: "There are also some vassal kings, and they will not attract the suspicion of the emperor like Wu Sangui." ”

"Think about it, the vassal king has his own territory, has his own soldiers and horses, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and you also have to control the right to appoint and dismiss personnel and pay taxes in the territory, so where do you put the imperial government? You have done all the things that the Holy Emperor has done for him, so what do you let him do?

Therefore, greed is the root of evil. A wise vassal king knows how to advance and retreat. There are soldiers and horses, but not too many, self-protection is okay, but long-range attacks are powerless. The right to pay taxes is absolutely clear, what should be their own is their own, and it should be the imperial court that does not take much of it. even take the initiative to suffer a small loss. The right to appoint and dismiss personnel must not be touched, and the court will send whoever it likes, and do not install cronies at will. If the emperor summons him, he will never avoid it for any reason. ”

"In other words, you have to let the emperor see you at any time when he wants to. Make him feel like you're under his control and don't threaten the Empire's rule. In this way, there will be long-term peace and stability. Think about it, if Wu Sangui had done this from the beginning, would the emperor have moved him for no reason? Maybe he would have been his prince in the south for the rest of his life. ”

Zhan Long was slightly stunned, and then understood that Song Li's task on this trip should be to recruit him back to the imperial capital. He spared such a large circle and used Wu Sangui's story as a guide, which served the ultimate purpose. This kid has really become a human spirit.

"Lord Song, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, hide it and tuck it, it's not like your style. War Dragon said with a smirk.

"I'm not hiding it," Song Li said with a smile: "Talking to a person with great wisdom like King Jingnan, you can just click on it." If everything needs to be explained thoroughly to be clear, wouldn't it be too slight?"

Zhan Long smiled, he found that Song Li was becoming more and more interesting.

If others receive this task and come to Nanzhou, the first thing they think of must be to show weakness to him, and the result must be led by his nose. However, Song Li did the opposite.

After coming to Nanzhou, not only did he not come to Jingnan Wangfu to visit, but he saw the opportunity and quickly established his authority with thunderous means, and the purpose of his doing this was ultimately to obtain the right to speak on an equal footing with Jingnan King as he is now. Only in this way can King Jingnan, the proud tiger, listen to what he says.

These means of his turned out to be quite effective. When others come to Nanzhou, they have to grovel, and they may not be able to get things done, but Song Li straightened his waist and almost did it.

At the very least, King Zhanlong of Jingnan has already been impressed by him.

"Lord Song came to Nanzhou this time, did he bring the will of His Majesty the Holy Emperor?" Seeing that Song Li never mentioned this stubble, King Jingnan simply got straight to the point.

Song Li thought to himself, the old boy still couldn't hold his breath. With a slight smile on the surface, he said: "I can't talk about the will, His Majesty the Holy Emperor told me before leaving that the prince is his old friend for many years, and the birthday of the Holy Queen Mother, the prince must be present." If you give an order, it will have a coercive flavor and damage your friendship for many years. Therefore, I have been entrusted to come and deliver the message in person, inviting you back to the imperial capital to attend the birthday banquet. ”

Although he knew that these words were false, War Dragon still felt that it was quite useful. In the past, the old fellow of the Holy Emperor did not give a lot of orders to urge him to go back, but the holy decree that was as heavy as a mountain in others was not easy to use when he came here. It can't be hard, but now it's soft.

If it were someone else, Huairou's strategy might not really work. But Song Li had always been very strong before, and now he suddenly spoke with a pleasant face, and the effect was quite obvious. It's like being a domineering person, suddenly gentle, and always flattering. Human nature is cheap, and King Jingnan is no exception.

"The king is the king, the minister is the minister, I don't dare to call His Majesty the Holy Emperor a brother, a friend said, it is not enough to be a foreigner. Zhan Long waved his hand and said: "The birthday of the Holy Empress Dowager, it stands to reason that this king has to be present every year, but this side of the territory is not always peaceful, so that the trip is delayed." This time, the southern neighbors are quite honest, and they finally have time to go to the imperial capital to have a look. ”

Song Li said quietly: "The prince agreed to go to the imperial capital?"

Zhan Long asked rhetorically: "If I don't go, won't I become Wu Sangui's second?"

The two men looked at each other and burst out laughing.

War Dragon was definitely a smart man, and he knew that if he didn't resist the decree again this time, the Holy Emperor would probably take military action soon. Then he only had two paths, either to rebel or to disarm and surrender, neither of which he wanted.

He thought that Song Li's various powerful behaviors after coming to Nanzhou were more or less instructed by the Holy Emperor. Since the Holy Emperor had begun to be so tough on him, it meant that the relationship between the two sides had reached a very tense moment. This is a temptation for him, and it also gives him a strong signal: if he refuses to give in, I will start to move seriously.

In fact, the Holy Emperor only sent Song Li to Nanzhou to recruit Zhan Long back, as for what method to use, he didn't say anything at all, everything was Song Li's own idea. The Holy Emperor's prepared Divine Decree was lying in Song Li's storage ring, but he didn't plan to take it out at all.

Judging the situation, Song Li felt that it was a stupid practice to declare the decree at this time, King Jingnan's current mentality is very delicate, he is used to being the emperor of the soil in Nanzhou, and he is very unhappy with the big Buddha of the Holy Emperor on his head.

Song Li had a very accurate grasp of the psychology of the war dragon, and this method made this old boy feel very useful.

"When is the prince going to leave? This official will go back to give His Majesty the Holy Emperor an accurate answer. （http:／／.）。 Song Li smiled.

King Jingnan was about to speak, and Zhan Chunlei, who had been watching from the side, suddenly interjected: "Father, this matter is not in a hurry to decide, let's discuss it later." ”

Zhan Chunlei and his father don't think the same, his father doesn't want to rebel, he doesn't have so many concerns. Fools can see that it will not be a good thing for the Holy Emperor to invite them back to the imperial capital. In Nanzhou City, there is a large army to defend them, and the Holy Emperor naturally can't do anything to them, but when they arrive in the imperial capital, they can't be the masters. The Holy Emperor has already made a cutting board, just waiting for them to deliver it to the door to make fish. When it comes to people's one-third of an acre of land, isn't that a round and pinched flat, according to other people's wishes?

Song Li had already been mentally prepared for the Zhan Chun Thunder inserting a jar, and said quietly: "The little prince probably hasn't been to the imperial capital yet, right? The Holy Lion City has always had the reputation of being the first male city in the north of the mainland, and he is used to seeing the grace of the southern city, and appreciating the majesty of the imperial capital, it must have a unique flavor. Oh, by the way, when I came, I heard that in the direction of the Holy Lion Mountain, there was a red glow, magnificent and fantastic, graceful, such a wonder between heaven and earth is rare to see in a hundred years, if you miss it, wouldn't it be a pity?"
