As far as the methods of surrender are concerned, there are usually two types:
The first is that if you don't accept it, I will beat you until you respect me. The other is to take the initiative to seek shelter and come here with the mentality of enjoying the shade under a big tree.
Luzon is now forced to choose the second way.
Back to the present.
The reason why the King of Luzon was beating around the bush and not mentioning the key points was obviously because he wanted to do more testing in order to get more benefits.
Also, if you completely drag out your position and background right from the beginning, it is very easy to lose the initiative in the negotiation.
Although Qi Yu didn't say anything, he wanted to ask him: Where did you get the initiative?
However, if you want to go back and do what you want to do, you still have to maintain a friendly attitude in face.
Yes, we are almost going to become a family, so why bother making each other unhappy?
Makes sense?
At this time, Qi Yu suddenly coughed dryly and broke the silence: "Your Majesty, the development of our Qiongzhou is obvious to all. As far as the current situation is concerned, agriculture is prosperous, business is booming, and all walks of life are prosperous. The reason for such a grand occasion, First, thanks to the sharp eyesight of our Holy Emperor, he promptly released the shackles of the sea ban in our Qiongzhou. Second, thanks to the abundant talents in our state, who worked hard, and finally pushed all the wastes to be prosperous. ."
After finishing his self-praising words, he smiled meaningfully and said, "Your Majesty, how about I invite you to share in this prosperous occasion?"
shared?
Haha, that’s so tactful!
Upon hearing this, the King of Luzon first sighed sadly, and then put on a look of great interest and said: "Master Qi, your initiative is very imaginative and sounds very tempting. I don't know what you are talking about." Sharing, in what specific way?”
Qi Yu smiled happily and said: "Well, let's put it this way, you can ask me for anything that Qiongzhou has. What I will give you as a gift will only be more than this, not less than this."
This statement sounds quite clear at first glance, but if you look carefully, you will feel that it is too general.
A bit abstract.
Seeing that the King of Luzon was a little confused, Qi Yu hurriedly explained: "The sharing I am talking about does not refer to temporary sharing in a short period of time, but a constant and permanent sharing mode. Well, your son, you Your grandchildren, as well as your relatives at home and abroad, can all learn from
Get the benefits of this forever. "
"this……"
After hearing this, King Luzon began to feel a little moved.
Upon seeing this, Qi Yu immediately corrected his color and posture, and stopped laughing and joking.
Next, he planned to speak clearly.
Yes, since the other party has already shown his longing for her, why should I keep hiding it?
So, he pierced the window paper and said in a relatively explicit way: "However, there is a prerequisite for the implementation of this eternal enjoyment, that is, Luzon and I, Qiongzhou, must become a family and establish a brotherhood of sympathy. An ironclad relationship.”
There is no need to explain the meaning of the family members, they can all understand it, and it does not matter whether the relationship is iron-clad or not. What the King of Luzon is still concerned about is the specific connotation of the words "eternal enjoyment".
Can children and grandchildren benefit from it?
Doesn't this obviously imply that the royal family of Luzon can implement a hereditary system?
You know, there are pitfalls in the hereditary system?
Yes.
The King of Luzon was cautious and expressed the 'pit' that he was worried about: "The lonely king heard that in the history of your country, there was a policy against the vassal king, and its name was the Tweeting Order. Isn't it... …Am I, a member of the royal family, included in this list?”
"Well……"
Qi Yu looked stunned and thought to himself: Why are you so smart?
well……
The so-called Tuien Order is a targeted decree implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in ancient times in order to consolidate the central power and prevent the development and growth of external vassal kings. It was a gentle way of boiling a frog in warm water to gradually reduce and disintegrate external vassals. Strength.
The method is not complicated. In the words of the common people, the idea is to turn these princes into weasels and mice, each one becoming worse than the next, and gradually moving towards the edge of weakening.
For example, let’s take the familiar Liu Bei and Liu Da’er, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the successor of King Jing Liu Sheng of Zhongshan. Under the favor of this order, he eventually became a bamboo craftsman who weaves mats and sells shoes.
It can be seen from this that the destructive power of the favor order to the vassal king was great.
The King of Luzon can be regarded as a person who is well versed in the ancient history of China. Naturally, he will think of this favor order that the common people think is extremely wise, but the princes think it is infamous.
So, was he right?
The answer is: almost the same.
Qi Dalang, who had guessed his thoughts, sat there without saying a word, just looking at his nose, his nose and his mouth, and his mouth and his heart, seeming to be meditating at ease.
Having been robbed of my lines and having an insight into my own motives, I was really losing my face!
However, it is not difficult to see from this that the King of Luzon is indeed very wise and cautious. He must have done a lot of preparations before coming here.
After a while, Qi Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is knowledgeable and knowledgeable about China's ancient and modern times. Your breadth of vision is really admirable." However, he changed his voice and said: "But this time, Your Excellency is... guessed wrong."
wrong?
The King of Luzon was shocked when he heard this and murmured: "Could it be that...you are not talking about the order of grace?"
"Ahem, of course not!" Qi Yu changed his original strategy, put on a 'generous' posture and said with a smile: "I have an old Chinese saying that if you want to take something first, you must give it to yourself first; if you want something for yourself, you must give it to yourself first. If it is something, it must be given first; since it is something given out by kindness, how can it be calculated with crooked intentions?"
Judging from the meaning behind these words, it doesn't sound like a favor order.
Could it be better than this?
The stone in King Luzon's heart fell to the ground, and he showed a sharp smile: "What you mean is..."
Haha, since you want to know, how could I not tell you?
Qi Yu pressed his hands seemingly indifferently and said warmly: "Your Majesty, please don't make random suspicions. Please listen to me explain them in detail..."
The King of Luzon responded seriously: "Very good!"
Then, Qi Dalang began to talk.
According to him, what he launched was a kind of 'hereditary and permanent customization'.
Specifically, the Luzon royal family can choose its own heir to the hereditary title, and the Yamen party is not allowed to interfere for any reason, maintaining the family's right to make independent choices.
Regarding benefits, Qi Yu also made his solemn promise. He said: The King of Luzon and his descendants will enjoy the benefits promised by the government, and the "total amount" will remain constant. It will never be like the Han Dynasty. Like Emperor Wu's order of grace, it was reduced as the clan spread and generations changed.
I understand the purpose and policy, but what does the 'total quantity' in this sentence mean?
The right to interpret this word naturally belongs to our Lord Qi.
So, what is it?
