Zhao Shan looked amiable and said softly: "You are my eldest nephew, so naturally I want to help you."
Yao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and regarded Zhao Shan as a life-saving straw. He pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar and knelt down. He kowtowed solemnly and said: "Uncle, please save me."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Get up, we are all a family, don't be so polite."
Yao Qian stood up and sat down again, and said quickly: "How can uncle help me?"
Zhao Shan looked calm and confident, and said: "Of course I have a way to help you, it just depends on whether you are willing to cooperate."
"Dagan people don't lie to Xiliang people, and I won't lie to you."
"Going further, you have become the emperor of Xiliang. As your uncle, I will help the diplomatic relations between the two countries and make the relationship between the two countries more stable. I will help you both emotionally and rationally, in public and private affairs."
Zhao Shan said with a smile: "Do you think so?"
The panic in Yao Qian's heart calmed down a little, and he quickly said: "I am willing to obey and cooperate."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "In that case, you will establish a written document. When you become the emperor, you will become my vassal and become a vassal state of Daqian again."
ah! !
Yao Qian exclaimed when he heard this.
His cheeks twitched. In the early days, Xiliang was a vassal state of Daqian. However, Xiliang has been an independent country for hundreds of years since it broke away from Daqian. If he surrenders to Zhao Shan, I'm afraid he will be scolded bloody.
This is very dangerous.
Yao Qian smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult."
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not difficult at all. Do you think Xiliang is Daqian's opponent?"
Yao Gan said: "No!"
If it were the previous emperor of Daqian, Yao Qian would have the confidence to overwhelm Daqian. However, Zhao Shan is so cunning and cunning that even an old fox like his father is plotted against him.
Xiliang is no match for Daqian.
Zhao Shan followed the temptation and continued to guide: "Xiliang is not my opponent. When I further restore the national strength, Daqian will be even stronger. If Xiliang does not surrender, do you think Xiliang can survive under my military front?"
"cannot!"
Yao Qian shook his head again and answered.
Zhao Shan said: "In this case, isn't it the best result to become a minister? Only by becoming a minister can Xiliang be preserved. What you, Yao Qian, did was not to humiliate the country by losing power, nor to betray the country for glory. It was to take the overall situation into consideration and to protect Xiliang. cold."
Yao Gan's eyes brightened.
yes!
Facing the strong Dagan, the young commander Tuoba Lie of the Xianbei Northern Wei Dynasty was killed, and his father Yao Guang also lost his army and generals. It was normal for him to become a minister.
Whoever objects will be allowed to fight Zhao Shan. If he wins, he will object again.
Yao Qian comforted himself, became confident, and said loudly: "Uncle, I am willing to become a minister and I am willing to establish a written document."
"Good boy!"
Zhao Shan smiled and praised.
With a wave of his hand, he asked someone to bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Yao Qian to sign his declaration of submission and press his fingerprints.
Yao Qian handed the receipt to Zhao Shanhou and said urgently: "Uncle, what can I do to keep my position as crown prince?"
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Not only do I want to keep your status as the prince, but I also want you to be the emperor. Do you dare to overthrow Yao Guang?"
"me……"
Yao Qian stuttered a little.
Zhao Shan flicked his sleeves and said seductively: "I can help you avoid being held accountable by Yao Guang. However, this is not a once and for all solution. The simplest way is for you to overthrow Yao Guang and become emperor."
"I dare!"
Yao Qian gritted his teeth and answered.
There was a crazy look in his eyes. The father wanted the woman to not want him, the father wanted the soldiers to not want him. In particular, Yao Guang has continued to draft talent shows to enrich his harem over the years, which has resulted in him having no beauties in the East Palace, and he is also very unhappy.
Zhao Shan looked approving and said, "I will give you three strategies."
"First, plead guilty with a painful flesh trick."
"After the prisoners are exchanged, you return to Yao Guang and immediately apologize. Not only do you express your hatred for me, but you also express your desire for revenge. You should also express your gratitude to Yao Guang and say that Yao Guang had high expectations for you, but you have failed to live up to him. Yao Guang’s trust.”
Zhao Shanti suggested: "Remember, you must kowtow crazily, be tough on yourself, and express your sincerity."
Yao Qian said happily: "I will keep my uncle's teachings in mind."
Zhao Shan looked like a child who could be taught, and continued: "Second, take the initiative to take responsibility."
"When you plead guilty, you only took on your problems and did not take all the responsibilities. You have to help Yao Guang show his face and take all his responsibilities, saying that it was all your fault."
"Yao Guang feels comfortable. Even if he deals with you, it will be a small punishment but a big warning, and it will not affect the status of the prince."
Zhao Shan talked eloquently and said: "Thirdly, Yao Guang still wants to be my enemy. As long as he is against Da Gan, he will be unpopular. You can clarify your attitude in private and say that you are not willing to be an enemy of Da Gan. We should not continue to be enemies.”
"There are many people in Xiliang who are unwilling to be my enemy, because peace will benefit both sides."
"War is detrimental to many people in Xiliang. This is the basis for you to win over people. Especially the people of the Jiang family and the people of your East Palace. With these people, you can launch a coup and force Yao Guangchan to Bit.""
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "You succeeded. Even if someone resists you, as long as I am here, I will send troops to support you at the border to ensure that you govern smoothly. Everything will naturally return to normal."
Yao Qian was ecstatic.
Zhao Shan is indeed an old fox, with deep calculations and clever methods. He was afraid of Zhao Shan from the bottom of his heart, and felt that he was so happy to have Zhao Shan's plan.
He is no longer afraid of his father.
Zhao Shan looked at Yao Qian and continued: "If you don't have the guts to make a coup and want to violate the agreement, just take the first and second clauses. It's good to be the prince anyway. But with Yao Guang's nature, there is always a thorn in his heart. Once you offend him, you will still be destroyed.”
Yao Qian's eyes rolled.
He wants to be emperor.
After being the crown prince for more than ten years, the following brothers are also eyeing him. Even if he is not deposed, his status will definitely be unstable.
How can there be a prince in the world who has been in power for more than ten years?
Yao Qian's eyes were burning and he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I must be the emperor."
Zhao Shan smiled brightly, told Yao Qian some details about the palace change, and arranged for someone to send Yao Qian off. Not long after, Zhuge Shang came to the camp and reported: "Your Majesty, some of the captured Xiliang troops have rebelled."
Zhao Shan asked: "Is it reliable?"
Zhuge Shangxin said: "There are many die-hards in the Xiliang army. I selected weak people and forced them to kill the die-hards and leave evidence of their crimes. When these people have something to do, they will naturally be obedient."
Zhao Shan smiled and nodded, and told Zhao Shan about the situation of plotting against Yao Gan.
Zhuge Shang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Yao Qian was bewitched and coerced, so he left the evidence. When he really succeeds in the coup, and there are objections from Jiang Gui, Kang Yongyuan and others in Xiliang, he may not be willing to surrender. Even if you Producing the written evidence, it can be said that he was coerced by His Majesty."
Zhao Shanxiao said: "Zhuge Qing, I don't need Xiliang to become a minister. What I want is to destroy Xiliang. After the change in Yao Qian's palace, I will release the handbook. When the prince of Xiliang gets the news, he will definitely launch an army to attack Yao Qian. .The Xiliang that is experiencing civil strife is the best Xiliang."
hiss!
Zhuge Shang took a breath.
His eyes were filled with admiration and he said sincerely: "Your Majesty has never thought of recruiting Yao Gan from the beginning to the end. He only used him to overthrow Yao Guang and provoke civil strife in Xiliang. Your Majesty is wise and I admire you."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "The Xiliang generals you instigated rebellion must also be mobilized. If Yao Qian wants a coup, help him with all your strength. You will be responsible for this."
"I obey the decree!"
Zhuge Shang responded excitedly.
Provoking civil strife in Xiliang and then annexing Xiliang was a supreme contribution to the expansion of territory.
Zhao Shan handed the matter over to Zhuge Shang and waited in Chencang.
Time passed day by day, and in early June, Zhao Shan got the news that Yao Guang had arranged for Yang Xiong to take over. Zhao Shan escorted Yao Qian and all the prisoners to the border of Chencang to exchange with Yang Xiong.
Zhao Shan counted the horses and money before releasing all the prisoners including Yao Qian.
After Yang Xiong and Yao Qian left, Zhao Shan decreed that Qin Zhong be made the General of Zhenxi and sit in Chencang to defend Xiliang. Then he set off back with horses and money.
When Zhao Shan returned, news of Zhao Shan's triumphal return reached Luoyang City first.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city of Luoyang was shocked and countless people cheered.
Daqian has been decadent for many years, and anyone can step on it. Now, I finally had a winning battle. Many people were even more excited discussing the fact that Zhao Shan had seven battles and seven victories, captured the Prince of Daliang alive, and overpowered the Emperor of Daliang.
People in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City were talking, calling Zhao Shan a sage, and looking forward to Zhao Shan's triumphant return.
