Li Qiao had previously been in contact with the King of Wei because of Concubine Chang's affairs and understood his character. At this time, he couldn't help laughing. He nodded and said, "Let's do everything according to the wishes of the sworn sister."
…
When the team arrived in Qingzhou, Wei Wang Changshi personally came out of the city to greet him. Yu Yingying especially felt that it was not enough. She raised her chin slightly and nodded arrogantly with the riding whip in her hand: "Why are you the only one here? Where is the King of Wei?!"
No matter how unbearable King Wei is, he is still the ruler of King Wei's long history, not to mention that King Wei has always given preferential treatment to his old subordinates who have followed him for many years and are not very smart.
The Lord humiliated his minister and died. After hearing Yu Yingying's words, Wei Wang Changshi was quite contemptuous of the King of Wei. He couldn't help changing his face. He bowed his hands in the direction of the official office in the city and the direction of the King of Wei and said seriously: "My lord, the King of Wei." , the son of Emperor Jingzong and the brother of the Supreme Emperor, even if he is today’s son, especially when he wants to be called the emperor’s uncle, how can I allow you to call him around like this?!”
"Miss Yu, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. After all, you grew up in Prince Wei's palace before. Now, once you succeed, you are so rampant. This kind of behavior not only makes the world look down upon. Not having Yu’s tutor makes people think that King Qin is arrogant!”
After saying that, he glanced at Li Qiao next to Yu Yingying.
He felt that among the envoys, Li Qiao's voice should not be weaker than Yu Yingying's.
Li Qiao only followed what Yu Yingying said, keeping a straight face and saying nothing.
King Wei Changshi couldn't help but twist his heart.
However, Yu Yingying retorted and said sarcastically: "So Chang Shi also knew that it was 'once upon a time'. How long ago was it? In the past ten years or so, I really lived in the palace, but if I count further, I It seems like there are parents and ancestors who didn’t just pop out of the cracks in the rocks?”
At this point, her expression suddenly turned cold and stern, and she snorted: "As for the Yu family's tutoring, I am the only one left in the Yu family. How can there be any tutoring? You don't have to give it to you here. Don’t you know how the master of the house licked Chang Yongnian’s feet when the Chang family was at its peak?”
King Wei had served King Wei for many years, so he certainly knew about the discord between the concubines of the Chang family and Princess Yu, and he also knew about the dilemma that King Wei was caught in the middle of.
Because of his lack of rationality, he was unable to speak, and because Yu Yingying acted so forcefully and aggressively at this time, he could not help but feel timid and uneasy about it.
When he spoke again, Wei Wang Changshi's tone became much softer: "Miss Yu, you..."
Yu Yingying didn't look at him, shouted "Get out of the way!", then rode her horse into Qingzhou City first.
Li Qiao followed closely behind.
King Wei Changshi was left on the roadside. Seeing the cavalry troops from Texas filing into the city, he felt anxious and hurried to the official office to ask for an audience with King Wei and tell him that the visitor was not a good person.
At that time, the King of Wei had received a message from his subordinates saying that he was an envoy from Dezhou, and he did not even intend to go to see him. Instead, he directly asked someone to lead the way to the guest house to rest. As for Qingzhou, The planned meeting time was vetoed by Yu Yingying with one vote.
After hearing what Chang Shi said, the king of Wei, who was originally very sure of things, started beating the snare drum nervously.
King Wei is living a very sad life now. He is caught between his companions and Li Changsheng, and is in a dilemma.
There was another option in the north, but when the rebels first entered the capital, they cut out the heart of the royal princess and sacrificed it to the flag. With such a premise, how could King Wei dare to defect?
As for accompanying the capital...
For the sake of Shunzhou, the quarrel between the two sides was too ugly. Although King Wei also knew that once he went to surrender, the emperor or the emperor would probably hold his nose and give him a way to survive. But from then on, I'm afraid it won't be a good time.
Comparing his feelings with his own, he would not be too kind to the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor in a different place.
Furthermore, he had a vague premonition in his heart that he might not be able to compete with Li Changsheng in the capital.
Instead of surrendering to the capital first and then being defeated and captured by Li Changsheng, it would be better to surrender to Li Changsheng directly. Why let others earn second-hand prices!
But Li Changsheng asked Yu Yingying to be the peace envoy. He couldn't possibly be unaware of his past affairs with the Yu family, right?
Suddenly, King Wei felt troubled.
The envoys from Dezhou entered Qingzhou City, but they did not meet with the King of Wei for a long time. One or two days would be enough. As time went by, rumors would inevitably leak out in the city, and people's hearts would become unsettled.
The king of Wei faced the same dilemma as the governor of Mizhou.
Surrender, it seems a bit unwilling. If you don't surrender, who knows if someone will be bold enough to tie him out directly!
The weakness of King Wei's feudal class destined him to be unable to survive for a long time. He wanted to surrender, but Yu Yingying's attitude made him feel that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to pay a little more than the original plan. thing……
Yu Yingying patiently stayed in the guest house for five days, eating and sleeping without any worries, let alone screwing up the mission.
Li Qiao was surprised by this: "Aren't you afraid that the righteous sister will really push the King of Wei into a panic and turn him to the capital?"
Yu Yingying said: "He won't."
At this point, she smiled sarcastically: "Don't look at him being silly at ordinary times, but when he really weighs the pros and cons - he can always make the right decision."
As soon as the words fell, someone came to report: "The King of Wei personally came to the guest house to discuss matters with the two envoys."
Yu Yingying's eyes flashed coldly, and she said, "Come on, it's time to show off your sword!"
After the meeting, the two parties exchanged a few concise greetings, and Yu Yingying happily put forward her request.
The King of Wei thus relieved control of his army and was not allowed to interfere in politics thereafter. However, at the same time, as a reward, or in exchange, the Crown Prince of Wei could serve as his successor and gain partial participation in the political power.
From then on, the civil and military ministries under the King of Wei no longer existed, and all official offices would be broken up and handed over to the King of Qin for re-regulation.
The King of Wei is not allowed to reuse the "King of Wei" title, and the King of Qin will give it another one...
These requests were all expected by King Wei, except for the first one: "How can there be any reason in the world for a son to take power on his behalf while the father is still alive?"
Yu Yingying said straightforwardly: "Or do you prefer to die directly? It's not impossible."
King Wei: "..."
How rude!
Yu Yingying did not continue arguing with him, and happily made the remaining demands.
Including but not limited to the head of Princess Chang, and even the king of Wei kowtowed to the tomb of Princess Yu from afar...
King Wei suddenly changed his expression: "This is absolutely impossible!"
At that time, despite the pressure from his companions, he did not hand over Chang's family. How could he hand over her life to Yu Yingying now?
As for kowtowing to the grave of his deceased wife...
If the rumor goes out, wouldn't it make the world laugh at you!
Not to mention that he also had to worry about the thoughts of Prince Wei. Didn't Li Changsheng decide to let him take charge of power on his behalf?
The King of Wei intended to make peace with Yu Yingying: "This matter must be considered in the long term..."
"There's nothing to worry about!"
Yu Yingying didn't want to listen to him, and simply cut off his hope: "If you agree, the peace agreement will be reached. If you refuse, the peace agreement will fail. There is no other choice!"
King Wei moved his lips and looked at Li Qiao in disbelief.
Li Qiao sat on the side with an expressionless face, just pretending that he was a deaf-mute.
King Wei turned his gaze back to Yu Yingying's face and said in a cold voice: "Do you think I can only choose to fall to Li Changsheng? After all, my companion and I bleed from the same source..."
Yu Yingying smiled after hearing this.
She stood up, looked down at the King of Wei, and said murderously: "Do you think we can only choose to negotiate with you? Now our army in Dezhou is strong, and Qingzhou is in trouble, but the chickens and dogs are slaughtered, but It’s just a matter of seconds!”
Wei Wang stood up suddenly, hit the case with his palm, and said sternly: "How dare you!"
"Of course I dare!"
Yu Yingying's voice was stern, and her momentum was no less than that of King Wei: "Your Highness, King Wei, I am not my sworn brother, I am much colder than him! I don't care about the opinions of the world, and I don't mind the reputation after my death. If you want to try, I have Don’t you have such courage?!”
Their eyes met, sparks flew everywhere, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
In the end, it was King Wei who lost his temper and looked away like a dodge.
Yu Yingying had a mocking look on her face, and then straightened her clothes: "It seems that His Highness the King of Wei has already made a decision. In this case, I will wait for your good news."
Li Qiao looked over with some confusion.
How did she know that King Wei would back down in the end instead of burning the boat and fighting with a last ditch effort?
It can't be all guesswork, right?
Yu Yingying understood Li Qiao's doubts and had no intention of keeping it secret. In the peace negotiation room, in front of the King of Wei and his subordinates, she said calmly: "Of course I know about him. I don’t dare to confront him head-on, and of course I know he will give in in the end.”
She turned her face sideways, her eyes sharp and sarcastic like a knife, and she coldly scratched King Wei's face: "The Chang family was very powerful back then. In order to please the Chang family, he could give up his wife and submit to the Chang family in vain." I sent someone to deliver life-threatening poison to my aunt. How could I risk my life to save the Chang family today?"
"He was able to do such a thing many years ago, and of course he can do it today too!"
"Is it possible that I was a loser before, but suddenly not today? How is that possible!"
Chapter 144
The King of Wei has always valued face, but now he was exposed by Yu Yingying in front of all his subjects, exposing all the cowardice, unbearableness, and even the bitterness he had hidden in the past...
This kind of gentle Ling Chi even made him feel more painful than killing him directly.
King Wei seemed to have aged in an instant, with his back bent and his expression shrinking.
He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at the expressions of the other people in the room. He just lowered his head and said feebly: "Stop talking..."
"Stop talking," Yu Yingying tasted these three words with interest, with a smile on her face, but there was cold frost in her eyes: "My lord, you are just one of the culprits. After many years, you heard this from me. I'm just talking about the past, but you can't stand it anymore?"
"My aunt died in her prime, one body and two lives, by the cold arrows fired by her husband. At that time, I was young and she witnessed the collapse of the Yu family - you are hypocritical and insignificant at this time. The pain is nothing compared to what we, aunt and nephew, have to endure!"
She glanced at King Wei contemptuously: "That's all I have to say. Once the prince has finished complaining about his illness, he should be able to take care of the rest by himself."
After that, he walked away.
Yu Yingying left, but King Wei stood there with a pale face, speechless.
Chang Shi looked at him worriedly and called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty?"
Then he carefully helped him sit down.
Another staff member said angrily: "Yu is going too far!"
"If it weren't for the prince's promotion, how could Li Changsheng be where he is today? How dare he..."
Someone else snorted coldly: "Before the peace agreement has been reached, Dezhou is still bossing around like this. What will they look like when they really surrender?"
Miscellaneous sounds entered King Wei's ears, giving him a splitting headache. What was even worse was the words Yu Yingying said earlier, which made him feel like his skin was being ripped off and the flesh and blood inside was exposed to the sun. The stinging sensation under the hot sun.
"Please step aside," he said feebly, "I want to be quiet for a while."
At the end, he added another sentence: "Block the news and don't let the prince know what happened today."
The left and right looked at each other and finally agreed.
…
King Wei was not in a hurry to give an answer, and Yu Yingying did not press for it.
She knew that what she could offer was the best condition that King Wei could obtain.
