From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 509

A bunch of bold words can only achieve a victory in momentum, but it has no effect on the real negotiation.

But Zhou Yuan wanted such an atmosphere. He wanted to build up expectations for Nurhaci so that he could have the subsequent conversation.

This is exactly the case. Nurhaci obviously did not buy it, but his expression was a little lighter.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "What a eloquent mouth you have. It is said that you are a loyal and eloquent Marquis and are good at poetry. Now it seems that you are not in vain."

"It's just that these words of yours are just self-praise. They have no practical value and can't deceive people."

Zhou Yuan said, "Okay! Then I dare to ask, if my words are valuable, do you, the emperor of the Great Jin, dare to accept my surrender? Do you dare to promise me a title!"

Nurhaci smiled and said, "That depends on whether your words are heavy enough."

Zhou Yuan stood up and said in a deep voice, "Unifying the world and achieving hegemony for thousands of years, is it heavy enough?"

Nurhaci put away his smile, and his body couldn't help but straighten up, and said solemnly, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yuan said, "With me here, the Great Jin can take Shanhaiguan without bloodshed, and the 90,000 troops can be defeated in Shanhaiguan rests and recuperates, accumulates strength, and sharpens its swords. "

"Under such circumstances, the northern Mongolia, the chieftains, and the island bandits will inevitably attack the Great Jin. The Great Jin treasury is empty and has no money to use, so it will inevitably impose taxes."

"In troubled times, the rules collapse, and the oppression of ordinary people by the gentry and nobles will suddenly intensify. The people will inevitably rise up, and at most three years, the Great Jin will collapse without attacking."

"At the right time, the army of the Great Jin will occupy the capital, change the dynasty, win over the gentry, suppress the peasants and soldiers, and pacify the world."

"Make laws, start reforms, rule the Han with the Han, suppress Mongolia, pacify the island bandits in the south, change the chieftains and return them to the people, and start a thousand-year hegemony and lay the foundation for eternity."

"By then, you will be a saintly monarch who stands shoulder to shoulder with the Qin Emperor and Han Zu!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Everyone says that I, Zhou Yuan, am good at fighting, but I am wrong! I am not the best at fighting! It's about governing a country!"

"I understand politics better than any of you. I understand national culture and class contradictions. I know how to truly conquer a piece of land. I know how to establish a perfect system. I know how to make the world peaceful and the country rich and the people strong."

"Do you understand tax laws? Do you understand land division? Do you understand corvée system? Do you understand opening up the sea and business, connecting the world, coal and iron mining, and weapon manufacturing?"

"I, Zhou Yuan, understand everything!"

"You get me, do you think you just get Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty? No! You get Jiang Shang of the Western Zhou Dynasty and Guan Zhong of the Spring and Autumn Period!"

No one at the scene could interrupt, only Nurhachi's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "You can actually govern the country?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Daichan, how much she spends with me Day, I know my ability very well. "

Nurhaci couldn't help but look at Wanyan Daichan and said, "Really?"

Wanyan Daichan smiled bitterly and said, "It only took him three months to make Shenjing look brand new. The one-whip law he formulated made the Central Plains achieve a miracle of recovery... To be honest, Zhou Yuan's ability to govern is higher than his ability to fight. "

Nurhaci took a deep breath and couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that our Dajin really needs you, but what we need is a loyal you."

Zhou Yuan said, "If you meet my conditions, you can get my loyalty."

Nurhaci said, "But first, you have to give us the opportunity to trust you. How can you surrender without a letter of surrender?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Of course there is a letter of surrender, but I hope you are clear that my surrender is not only my wish, but also your desire."

"Zhou Yuan doesn't want to die, and you also want to take Shanhaiguan without bloodshed, and in terms of demand, you are more urgent than me. ”

“Don’t act like I’m begging you. I, Zhou Yuan, don’t beg anyone for help wherever I go. I rely on my ability.”

“Just like my position in the Jin Dynasty, it was not awarded by the empress, but by my ability!”

“Because I have solved any difficult problems perfectly for her, and only I can solve those problems.”

Nurhaci was silent, nodded slowly, and then said: “You are very clear-headed and have a precise control of the current situation. I admire you very much.”

“Since you have this sincerity, we certainly welcome you with sincerity.”

“Here, I promise you as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty that as long as you can help us take Shanhaiguan without bloodshed, I will make you a prince.”

“After the Jin Dynasty pacifies the world, I can give you land and make you a first-class prince!”

Here, he paused slightly and said in a deep voice: “As for Daichan…”

He looked at Wanyan Daichan and said: “It depends on your opinion. Do you like Zhou Yuan? "

Wanyan Daichan blushed and lowered her headNodding her head.

Her heartbeat quickened. She was usually calm and composed, but now she was a little stuttering: "My...daughter...daughter has always put state affairs first, and I...I always listen to my father."

Nurhaci was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "It turns out that Daichan has already fallen in love with you. It's a pity that your father is still worried about you."

Everyone around couldn't help laughing.

Until this time, Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "In this case, Zhou Yuan will show his cards!"

"Tonight, Shanhaiguan will mutine! I will offer the heads of the garrison generals Wu Dingzhong and Pang Lixing as a token of surrender!"

"Tomorrow morning, open the gate of Shanhaiguan to welcome the King of Jin!"

When these words came out, Nurhaci couldn't help but be shocked. He stood up and glared: "You dare to mutiny? Offer the heads of the garrison generals?"

Zhou Yuan said: "If not, what kind of token of surrender is it? I, Zhou Yuan, never hesitate to do things, and I will do them thoroughly."

"Okay!"

Nurhaci said in a deep voice: "If you offer the heads of Generals Zhong and Pang, I will summon the royal army to help you flatten Shanhaiguan!"

"By then, you will be the first Han prince of my Great Jin! And also my Nurhaci's golden sword consort!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Daichan! If you are willing! I will give you the knife!"

Wanyan Daichan was stunned for a moment, then took out a short knife from her arms, which was gilded and inlaid with gems. It was extremely sharp. It was a symbol of identity and status, and also represented her chastity and dignity.

She walked up to Zhou Yuan, picked up the golden knife, and raised her hand to Zhou Yuan.

Her hands trembled slightly, and her cheeks were a little red.

Zhou Yuan held the knife steadily and said proudly: "I will use this knife to cut off the head as the first step for me to establish merit!"

There was only confidence and decisiveness in his tone. Wanyan Daichan glanced at him carefully, and for a moment she felt like she was in a dream.

"Your Majesty! Zhou Yuan is leaving! Let's use fireworks tonight!"

He bowed and strode out.

Wanyan Daichan blushed as she followed him out of the yard and sent him to the carriage.

Only then did she whisper, "Zhou Yuan!"

Zhou Yuan turned around and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Wanyan Daichan lowered her head and said, "It's like a dream... Keep my golden sword safe."

"No, it's my golden sword now."

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud and said goodbye to Wanyan Daichan who was in a sweet dream.

It wasn't until he returned to Shanhaiguan that Zhou Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He said in a deep voice: "Hand over the head tonight. Have you seen clearly the geographical location and route of Xiping?"

Li Yu'an nodded and said: "I have seen it almost clearly. I will set off after I finish my work. I will definitely find Cai Ni."

Zhou Yuan said: "You must tell her the truth. I don't want to hide it from her."

Li Yu'an frowned and said: "Is it unnecessary? I only need an internal force to make Cai Ni fall into the illusion of being possessed by a demon. It will last for at least ten hours, which is enough for you to accomplish your great task."

"If you tell her the truth, if she tells others..."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "Cai Ni will not betray me."

Li Yu'an said, "But this is a serious matter, so be cautious."

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, then whispered, "For a long time, Cai Ni has treated me sincerely, and I don't want to deceive her on the grounds that this is a serious matter."

"Virgin Mary sister, I have done my best in the Battle of Shanhaiguan. Life and death are determined by fate. I don't believe I will fall on Cai Ni."

Li Yu'an sneered, "But some people have to fall on the word 'love'."

Zhou Yuan had no expression on his face, and said calmly, "That is the fate she chose."
