After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

Xie Jue said, "The vassal system has been abolished and will not be changed for anyone. Even if Mudan City is governed by a magistrate, you are still a county king. With three thousand private soldiers, your clan will not be bullied by others in Mudan City." .I will follow your suggestions to choose a suitable magistrate of Mudan City and give you the maximum power in Mudan City. The people of Sangnan do not need to move south. Your authority will still be in the minds of the people of Mudan City. If The vassal system must be restored, which will be difficult. The decrees we implement will not be changed overnight in less than half a year."

"It sounds nice in name and gives me the maximum power, but you and I both know that if I die and my title is taken away, who will protect my descendants?"

"Your county king can be hereditary. I can promise you this. If you don't believe it, you can write it in the surrender treaty. It will be written in black and white. Emperors will recognize it for generations."

"Okay, since His Highness King Yan has promised, we are willing to believe you, but we still have one condition, which is that His Highness King Yan recognizes his identity as the Sangnan royal family." King Sangnan said, "After our royal family returns, we need someone to protect us. , I don’t trust others, I only believe in blood kinship.”

Master Gu was also shocked. He didn't know how to record it for a moment. Does the prince want to admit his identity as the Sangnan royal family? If he admits it, he will be attacked frequently in the court in the future, and his official career will almost be cut off. Even if Sangnan returns, for a long time, the Sangnan royal family will be the king in the hearts of the people. It will take time to slowly accept the surrender. If there is a high-ranking prince who responds to everyone's call, the people will even use him. Caused many riots in the name of Xie Jue, and admitted his identity as the Sangnan royal family, which would do Xie Jue no good at all. Xie Jue knew better than anyone.

He did not want the people of Sangnan or King Sangnan to cause confusion due to his identity after his surrender, so he did not admit his identity in public. Even if King Sangnan announced it to the world, he did not hear Xie Jue admit it.

Fang Chuning sneered, "When I was in Jiangnan, I often heard that the Sangnan people were shrewd and cunning. You are really no different from the rumors. Even if you sink into the sea, you will drag others with you to be buried with you. Tingfeng admits his identity. In the future, you Sangnan The turmoil caused by the Southern Royal Family can be blamed on him. Now the Xie brothers have a deep relationship, but no matter how deep the relationship between the brothers is, they can't stand up to repeated accusations of rebellion. If you don't want to live a peaceful life, then we will change it. way to negotiate.”

Han Ziqi said jokingly, "General Fang is such a protector. His Highness King Yan didn't say anything. Why are you jumping out in a hurry? We, Sang Nan, want a strong backer when we surrender. Is that wrong? You don't have to be petty." Human hearts, after we surrender, we want to live peacefully and just ask for protection. Besides, His Highness King Yan is a bloodline of my Sangnan royal family."

"King Yan was born in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and grew up in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Whether in Beining or Sangnan, the child will follow the father, not the mother. Don't mess around. No matter where his biological mother is from, he will His father is the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he is the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei." Fang Chuning didn't mind Han Ziqi's ridicule. He was a calf-protector and didn't want Ting Feng to be tainted by Sang Nan's darkness. In the future, he would be separated from Xie Xun, who was his only sibling. , if you get divided because of this, Tingfeng will be very sad.

The third prince said slowly, "General Fang, we have all surrendered, and hundreds of thousands of troops have also disarmed and returned to the fields. What kind of disturbance can it cause? It is just to ask the prince to recognize the identity of his mother's clan and provide us with shelter. This is nothing." wrong."

This is the first time for Prince Sangnan and his son to stand on a united front. Now that the peace talks have reached the final stage, they can only work together and speak to the outside world unanimously.

Xie Jue knew that the peace talks meant that you take a step back and I give in. Beining is strong enough. If King Sangnan insists on not giving up the land, he can also recognize the identity of his mother's clan.

Fang Chuning still wanted to argue, but Xie Jue took Fang Chuning's hand under the table and calmed his anger, "Okay, after the surrender, you go to Beijing to worship, and I will recognize the identity of my mother's clan in the court."

"Listen to the wind!" Fang Chuning shouted harshly. Xie Jue shook his head gently. In full view of everyone, Fang Chuning had no choice but to hold back his anger and pinch his nose to admit it. Next came the details of the peace talks. Mr. Gu confirmed with the Sangnan royal family one by one that the big terms were agreed upon, but the small details were not important. Xie Jue did not bother with them too much, he just gave them more power.

After the terms of the land and clan were negotiated, they signed and stamped the seal after mutual confirmation. The most important document of surrender in the entire peace negotiation was presented to Xie Xun, but the small details were written down in black and white, and they were signed first. A total of A dozen copies. After the several terms that King Sangnan cared about most were signed, he felt a little lackluster and looked languid. Han Ziqi and the third prince took the lead in the peace talks.

After Master Gu learned from the experience of the Northern Barbarian High Priest, he very sincerely asked High Priest Sang Nan if he had any requirements. However, the High Priest Sang Nan said, "The Priest's House retains its original regulations. Beining cannot interfere freely, and neither will our Priest's House." No more dealing with political affairs, from now on I will only care about the people’s prayers and the clan’s priests.”

Xie Jue was a little surprised. The high priest had the same status as King Sangnan, and he would naturally be abolished after his surrender. He almost lost all the power he had in Sangnan. He and Fang Chuning originally thought that the high priest might put forward excessive conditions like the Northern Barbarian high priest and wanted to use faith to control the people. Unexpectedly, the high priest had no such intention, which made it much easier for Xie Jue.

"Can!"

The high priest looked deeply at Xie Jue, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but his face was very calm. Xie Jue refused to inherit Sang Nan, and the high priest was extremely disappointed.

The existence of the high priest is to protect the Sangnan royal family. The royal family no longer exists, and their priests have lost their direction and meaning. Xie Jue is the best candidate for the Sangnan king in his mind, but it is a pity that he has no interest in the Sangnan throne. .

The peace talks continued into the night, and many details were gradually finalized. King Sangnan left Xie Jue and Fang Chuning to have a meal in the palace. Everyone in the Sangnan royal family felt heavy about this meal, especially the eldest prince who did not appear during the peace talks. , staring at Xie Jue almost with hatred.

Xie Jue and Fang Chuning did not care about the rudeness of the older prince. In their original plan, they could return to the post house after dinner. Master Gu could negotiate the next details with Han Ziqi in the next few days, and they would be ready within five days. After being able to return to Bac Ninh, Xie Jue began to worry about how he would face the commander's difficulties when he returned to Penang, and how the stalemate between the Fang family and his son would be resolved.

However, no one expected that something would happen at this ordinary palace banquet.

King Sangnan set himself on fire in the palace and was burned alive.
