Regarding what happened after the surrender, Feng Yibo had already elaborated in detail in his memorial.

Donghai Kingdom nominally belonged to the Wei Dynasty and became an integral part of the Wei Dynasty's territory.

However, affiliation is affiliation.

But it doesn't mean you have to give up everything.

Additional requests were stated in Feng Yibo's memorial and the Donghai Kingdom's credentials.

In other words, it is the prerequisite for belonging.

Among these conditions, the most core point is.

It just won't be like the general state capital, where the imperial court will send people to govern and garrison the army.

Donghai Kingdom requested to become a member of the Wei border areas in a similar way to Jisizhou.

The so-called Jizhou Prefectures are mostly located in border areas due to different ethnic groups, different customs, or some other reasons.

The Central Plains dynasty adopted a governance method of "using barbarians to control barbarians" in their region.

In other words it may be better understood.

That is to appoint local leaders as hereditary native officials.

To put it bluntly, it requires that the right to autonomy be retained and passed on to future generations.

In fact, this matter is easy to understand.

After all, people have overcome all obstacles and created such great achievements.

Another war was launched and a large territory was conquered.

No one would hand it over for nothing, right?

Being able to come and join him already reflects the great righteousness in his heart.

There is nothing wrong with making some demands.

In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Wei Dynasty, this is completely reasonable.

As for the time of donating soil.

Whether the Black Dragon King himself came to the capital to have an audience, or he sent an envoy to present his credentials.

Or maybe like this now, let Feng Yuan, a minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, deliver it on his behalf.

They are all just dispensable, at most they are the icing on the cake.

Emperor Jingshun asked casually just to change the topic.

Of course, after hearing about Feng Yibo asking the Black Dragon King to found the country before, Emperor Jingshun now had some doubts.

It's not that he doubts anything else, but that Feng Yuan did everything he could to get Donghai Kingdom to surrender?

If it were said that he first promised the Black Dragon King that he could be autonomous, in order to induce him to surrender.

Then he persuaded him to establish the Donghai Kingdom to fulfill the great righteousness of the Wei Dynasty.

This doesn’t seem impossible!

Emperor Jingshun even felt that this was more in line with Feng Yuan's consistent behavior.

But even if this is the case, this is not only not Feng Yuan's fault, but his talent.

If it is really what I think, doesn't it mean that the matter of donating soil is probably something from scratch.

Was it promoted by Feng Yibo with his extremely strong personal ability?

Of course, Feng Yibo didn't say anything, and Emperor Jingshun wouldn't ask.

Because no matter what happens, Donghai Kingdom can come and surrender its territory.

It was already a great good thing for the Wei Dynasty and Emperor Jingshun.

Regardless of whether these are Feng Yuan's methods, the credit is already his.

As for ability, as long as you know that he is really capable of doing things, that's fine.

Sooner or later there will be room for him to play!

Although, Feng Yibo is a top talent and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements.

But before, Emperor Jingshun only had some impression of Feng Yibo.

Generally speaking, I know that he is brave enough to do things.

Of course, the main reason was that the suppression of the Japanese in Jiangnan only involved military force, and Feng Yibo went overseas alone to recruit them.

Therefore, Emperor Jingshun's understanding of him has always been limited to the word "dare".

But now, there is a matter of offering soil to surrender.

Emperor Jingshun's view of Feng Yibo changed dramatically.

That is, he recognized Feng Yibo's ability.

The emperor has many things to do, and he doesn't take many things seriously.

Especially some little people who have no time at all need to remember.

Only those who are recognized and appreciated by him are truly "Jane in the Emperor's Heart".

Previously, Feng Yibo could only say "barely".

And now Feng Yibo is already "very".

In addition, Emperor Jingshun was extremely happy to offer his land for surrender.

So it can be considered a great conversation.

At this time, he listened to Feng Yibo's account of the Black Dragon King.

It was completely in line with what I had in mind, the image of a self-made man in the world.

This gave Emperor Jingshun a strange sense of identity.

"That's true."

Emperor Jingshun nodded first, then sighed:

"I think it was fate that made him achieve what he has today."

As soon as Feng Yibo heard this emotion, he knew that the image of the Black Dragon King was initially established.

But now is not the time to relax.

He still needs to continue to paint this image in depth.

It wasn't until Emperor Jingshun thought he understood the Black Dragon King that he was done.

"What the Holy One said is absolutely true!"

Feng Yibo took over the conversation with a smile and continued:

"This Black Dragon King is living overseas and has been living as a strongman."

"But he is not willing to waste his life here, and he cannot bear it, and he does not dare to disturb our people, the Wei Dynasty."

He also said that he would be a strong man on the sea, and he said that he would not plunder the people of Wei.

This statement is a bit inconsistent.

Those who don't know what's going on will just think that the robbers are all overseas merchant ships.

Although Emperor Jingshun has lived in the palace for a long time, the amount of information he receives every day is countless times that of ordinary people.

How could it be so easy to get away with it?

However, he only thought that Feng Yibo was covering up for him and plundering things when he was a strongman.

In the eyes of the emperor, such a thing was not a big mistake.

Therefore, he would not expose it and continued to listen with a smile.

"That's when he thought of taking his fellow villagers who were living overseas like him to search for the Japanese pirates' lair."

"In this way, we can not only gain enough profits, but also uphold justice and avenge the people along the coast, and we can also gain enough reputation."

This is the origin of Feng Yibo's weaving for the Black Dragon King.

There is also the past of starting from nothing and becoming powerful.

I heard Feng Yibo emphasize his tone at the end and mentioned reputation.

Emperor Jingshun thought he understood, so he nodded and said:

"With such a positive reputation spreading, the people along the coast will surely follow suit, right?"

In his opinion, in all dynasties, those who want to achieve great things must first have a good reputation.

Just like Zhang Jiao, Liu Bei and others, they relied on reputation to gain influence.

Emperor Jingshun, who was well-read in history books, even felt that the key to the Black Dragon King taking the first step was not to suppress the Japanese.

But it has a reputation.

When Feng Yibo heard Emperor Jingshun's words, he immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

He said with a look of disbelief:

"When I first heard about this, I only lamented his righteous deed. However, the Holy Spirit has never been to the southeast, but he is well aware of the development of the situation, and his guess is accurate!"

Despite being flattered, Feng Yibo took advantage of the situation and looked a little discouraged.

Jingshun Emperor almost fell into his trap, but felt that he listened to his own words.

Somewhat ashamed.

When you realize it, this is a piece of shit.

The complacency welling up in his heart had already made him feel so good.

In any case, Emperor Jingshun felt really comfortable.

Therefore, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Ai Qing is quite humble."

After showing signs of flattery, Feng Yibo became the most hardened bachelor:

"I really didn't expect it at the time."

This is just the right disguised admission.

That's right, I'm just flattering myself.

After all the fun is over, it doesn't matter whether it's flattering or not.

Emperor Jingshun chuckled and shook his head.

Seeing that he was silent, Feng Yibo continued:

"As the Black Dragon King's reputation grows, more and more people are under his command, and he becomes more and more able to deal with Japanese pirates."

"Of course, in the early days when he fought against Japanese pirates, he really had a narrow escape."

Having said this, Feng Yibo couldn't help but raise his head and said:

"I understand this very well!"

"I was able to chat with the Black Dragon King because I was ordered by the emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the Japanese pirates, and I left a bad name among the people."

At first glance, these words sounded self-effacing, but the person speaking in front of me looked proud.

Obviously, Feng Yibo deliberately mentioned his previous achievements.

However, this is not just to show off.

Rather, he was looking for a suitable reason for him to quickly establish contact with the Black Dragon King.

Feng Yibo's imperial mission suppressed the Japanese and left a great reputation along the coast south of the Yangtze River.

All the kings and ministers in the court knew this.

After all, before Feng Yuan's people came back, Feng Jiaxuan's reputation spread back to the capital first.

Since the Black Dragon King lives at sea, there is a high chance that he has heard of this name.

Both of them made their fortunes by fighting Japanese pirates, so it's only natural that they should cherish each other.

Of course, there are differences between the two.

Feng Yuan first took the imperial examination and became an official, and then fought against Japanese pirates.

However, the Black Dragon King first fought against the Japanese pirates and then joined the Wei Dynasty as an official.

However, it can be regarded as reaching the same destination through different paths.

Thinking of two people with different backgrounds, but both very capable, they were both officials of the Wei Dynasty.

At a certain moment, Emperor Jingshun even felt that he had experienced the satisfaction of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who felt that "all the heroes in the world have fallen into one".

But it was just a brief moment.

Because although he admired Tang Taizong, he also knew that he was still far behind Li Shimin.

It was this gap that made him quickly regain his consciousness.

“Once I got rich and famous, I recruited soldiers and bought ships, and gradually I built up my current family business.

In Linjing Hall, Feng Yibo was still continuing.

When he said this, his whole person suddenly became a little depressed.

He seemed to sigh with some disappointment:

"It's a pity that he is no longer as brave and energetic as he used to be when he was suppressing the Japanese, and he has become extremely precious about his life."

Emperor Jingshun was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind, and my eyes gradually drifted away.

On such an occasion, he actually began to reflect on himself.

This was what I was thinking when I first ascended the throne.

Create a prosperous Wei Dynasty like the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

Now that ten years have passed, am I like the Black Dragon King, who has lost the courage and diligence that I had at the beginning?

Become cautious and only use power tactics?

"A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall!"

Zhang Songyue seemed to have understood what Emperor Jingshun was thinking. He rarely spoke out, but said with a pun:

"It's very hard for him to be able to do something like this. He knows how to advance and retreat, which is good."

The phrase "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" is derived from the variation of "A man who knows his fate does not stand under a rocky wall" in "Mencius".

The "gentleman" here does not mean a person of high moral character.

But someone with a certain status.

What Zhang Songyue means is:

Once you have a certain status, you should avoid potential dangers in advance.

The Black Dragon King already has capital and the qualifications to be a "gentleman".

There is nothing wrong with this.

Therefore, he said "know how to advance and retreat."

At the same time, it also reminded Emperor Jingshun not to look forward and backward.

This level is now the result of all efforts.

Therefore, he also said "this is good".

The years of tacit understanding between Emperor Jingshun and Zhang Songyue were not fake, and they immediately understood what he meant after hearing this.

So I stopped thinking about life and said casually:

"This Black Dragon King is also a bit wild."

Although it was said casually, the words contained Emperor Jingshun's thoughts just now.

No matter what the Black Dragon King was, he was born in the countryside and was a wild boy.

And since he was born noble, his circumstances are naturally very different and cannot be generalized.

Emperor Jingshun will no longer think about random things.

This is telling Zhang Songyue that he just treats it as an interesting story.

Seeing that Emperor Jingshun had come to his senses, Zhang Songyue returned to his old godlike appearance.

Feng Yibo naturally couldn't let Emperor Jingshun's words fall to the ground, and immediately agreed:

"Yes, he is indeed a very interesting guy."

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he showed a strange smile.

He said the words he had prepared long ago.

"By the way, the Black Dragon King knew that I was born in Tanhua, so he even recited his poems and asked me to help him taste them."

Emperor Jingshun was stunned and couldn't help but be curious, and asked:

"Oh? He can also write poetry?"

In his opinion, if someone could recite poems and compose poems, he would not be exiled overseas.

"How do you say this?"

Feng Yibo seemed a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"There's quite a pattern, right?"

This comment made Emperor Jingshun even more curious, so he asked:

"Ai Qing, do you still remember?"

This was what Feng Yibo was waiting for, and he nodded when he heard the words:

"I chant this to Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he cleared his throat before chanting:

"The giant ship is loaded with food, and the great Wei Dynasty is my hometown."

"Counting heroes is like the Black Dragon King, and finding a giant whale is like swallowing fusang!"

This was written by Feng Yibo, but he did not write it in meter.

Instead, in order to fit the rash image of the Black Dragon King, the poem of a rash general from his previous life was used.

"Tsk! Want to learn from Han ancestor's "Great Wind Song"?"

Emperor Jingshun's city couldn't help but sneer.

Then he laughed again, sighed and shook his head:

"What a pity! His courage is acceptable, but he is ultimately reckless."

There is no need to think carefully about the four lines of the poem.

Emperor Jingshun also knew that it was pieced together haphazardly.

The first sentence is the evaluation of Emperor Jingshun.

His aspirations are like those of a farmer.

When you get a giant ship, what comes to mind is not that it is filled with gold, silver, and jewels.

Instead, it is filled with food.

It's obviously a limitation of Cao Mang's background. Only when he's hungry and scared will he think of it like this.

The second sentence is quite satisfactory.

At least it shows that he cares about the Wei Dynasty and has not forgotten his roots.

The third sentence is about boasting about your proficiency.

Nothing else.

The last sentence is quite impressive.

Fuso is the legendary fairy island in the East China Sea, but it is said that the Japanese country often calls itself this island.

The meaning of these words obviously contains hatred towards the Japanese country.

The ambition to devour the Japanese country jumped out.

The poem was written by Feng Yibo, so he naturally knew what it meant.

This was the moment he had been waiting for. Hearing this, he immediately agreed:

"I feel the same way. This person is reckless after all, and I'm afraid he won't last long."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Jingshun and Zhang Songyue felt relieved for no reason.

Then it seemed that the conversation was over.

"In any case, even though Liuqiu has been taken away, it is suspected of rebellion."

Emperor Jingshun began to make a qualitative statement and said:

"But if you go to appease him, and he immediately agrees to join you, it will be regarded as a meritorious service after all."

It seems that he is still weighing the pros and cons and is hesitant.

But in fact, Emperor Jingshun made his thoughts clear when he said that offering soil was a meritorious service.

In other words, he made a decision when he received the request to donate soil.

This decision, of course, is to accept it!

Not to mention anything else, I just say that it will leave a lasting impression!

If there is more of this in the history books, future generations will have a higher evaluation of him!

As a generation of emperors, who can refuse this?

Although the matter is considered final, how to award the final reward will definitely still have to be weighed.

So Feng Yibo resigned with a wink, leaving only the master and apprentice to continue their discussions.

I went to Liuqiu in spring and came back almost in autumn.

Fortunately, after his hard work, the harvest season has indeed arrived.

If nothing unexpected happens, just wait for tomorrow's court meeting to get the result Feng Yibo wants!
