Gao Fei chuckled, then walked straight in, and said slowly to Lu Fan: "Ping Nanhou, what you want to tell me, I will tell these ministers sooner or later. In this case, let them know one day earlier.
What's the difference between knowing and letting them know a day later?"
Lu Fan said: "In this case, the foreign minister should speak frankly."
Gao Fei made the first impression. After sitting down on a chair, he pointed to the seat next to him and said to Lu Fan: "Ping Nanhou, please take a seat. Sirs, please also take a seat. Let's talk slowly."
Lu Fan, Jia Xu, Guoyuan, Zhu Gongdao, Zhu Gongxin and others sat down one after another. Then Lu Fan opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor, the foreign minister came here on the emperor's order. The main reason is to talk to the emperor."
Let’s talk about the future of Huaxia and Wu…”
After hearing this, Gao Fei became a little interested, but his face showed no abnormality. He said to Lu Fan: "Oh, then I am all ears. Ping Nanhou, please speak frankly."
Lu Fan immediately took out an unopened secret letter from his arms and handed it to Gao Fei. While handing it to Gao Fei, he said slowly: "This is what my lord has given to your majesty."
This is a letter that I want Your Majesty to open personally. The foreign ministers came to China to meet Your Majesty. Everything they did is contained in this secret letter. Your Majesty is invited to read it."
Gao Fei took the letter, opened it and took out the letterhead. It turned out to be a piece of fine silk, and the raw material used to write the letter turned out to be human blood. This was a blood letter.
Lu Fan frowned when he saw Gao Fei take out the blood letter. His Majesty the Emperor actually used his own blood to write the blood letter. This shows the importance of the content in this letter. No wonder he was asked to rush to China immediately.
country and arrived in Luoyang secretly. But he had never seen the contents of the letter.
Jia Xu, Guoyuan, Zhu Gongdao, Zhu Pingping and others were also confused for a while. What kind of thing was it that was so urgent that it was necessary to write a blood letter? The key was that the other party was still the emperor of a country.
After Gao Fei completely opened the blood book, he read it carefully word by word, but saw that it said: "Bofu Wu'er, my father was seriously injured. He knew that he would die soon, so he cried and cried before he died.
After your father's death, Jiangdong was entrusted to you. However, there is something you don't know. Back then, all the princes in the world jointly attacked the Dong thief.
My father and Gao Ziyu had secretly made a covenant. After we wiped out the heroes from the south and the north, we would combine the forces we controlled into one and jointly assist the Han Emperor to achieve great achievements. However, the development of things exceeded my father's expectations.
Ziyu has extraordinary knowledge and ambition. He is not someone who can be subordinated to others. He will definitely become emperor in the future.
In the world. After my father's death, it is estimated that nothing will happen to Soochow and Beiyan within ten years. However, if Soochow faces the danger of Beiyan in ten years, please remember my father's words, never talk to Beiyan.
Yan is the enemy. It is the best policy for Northern Yan and Soochow to unite into one and realize what Ziyu said. My father also checked the historical records and found out that
I know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a precedent for the two prime ministers of Zhao Gong and Zhou Gong to be called "Gonghe". If the two families cannot be smoothly merged into one, you will surrender to Bei Yan. Doing so will save the entire Sun family.
It is equivalent to protecting the people of Jiangdong from suffering anymore. The Sun family lineage is all tied to you, please be careful."
After reading this blood letter, Gao Fei couldn't help but frowned. Pictures of being together with Sun Jian emerged in his mind. Ever since they jointly defeated the traitors in Liangzhou, he and Sun Jian had been involved in something.
Such a subtle relationship that until later, the two of them had been calling each other brothers.
Brother. After reading this blood letter, Gao Fei felt as if his heart had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. The scene of the oath he and Sun Jian shared in the past also appeared in front of his eyes. Sun Jian was extremely sincere to him.
But he was always taking advantage of Sun Jian, which made him feel despicable.
Jia Xu saw Gao Fei's face changing, becoming more sentimental, and knew the weight of this bloody letter. He and Gao Fei had been together for almost twenty years. Although Gao Fei was somewhat kind-hearted in the early days,
But after experiencing many twists and turns, he has gradually become hard-hearted, at least
He showed no mercy to the enemy. But now, he saw an indescribable expression on Gao Fei's face. This expression seemed to be exactly the same as what he had seen back then. He frowned and hurriedly
Said to Gao Fei: "Your Majesty, the arrow is now on the string..."
When Gao Fei heard Jia Xu's reminder, he suddenly came back to his senses, folded the blood letter, and then glanced at Jia Xu, his eyes filled with a different kind of look, that was trust. He folded the blood letter
He stuffed it into the letter, sneered, and said to Lu Fan: "Ping Nanhou, your master asked you to show me this blood letter. I think he must have something to say, right?"
Although Lu Fan didn't know what was written in the blood seal, he was quite clear about what Sun Ce asked him to do. He immediately stood up, then took three steps back, knelt on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed to Gao Fei.
: "Your Majesty, Lu Fan, bow to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"What are you doing?" Gao Fei suddenly saw Lu Fan's behavior and was a little puzzled, because Lu Fan no longer claimed to be a foreign minister, but changed his title to a minister. Apparently, he regarded himself as a minister of the Huaxia Kingdom.
.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me." As Lu Fan spoke, he took out another thing from his arms, which was a scroll. Then he opened the scroll, lowered his head, and presented it in front of Gao Fei.
Dao Lai said, "This is a map of the three states and sixteen counties of Soochow, and it is also the territory map of the Kingdom of Wu. I was ordered by the King of Wu to come here to present the map this time, because I want to submit my vassalage to the emperor..."
"Promise?" Gao Fei's answer to Lu Fan was simply unexpected, because with Sun Ce's character, he was obviously a master who refused to surrender, how could he profess to China so easily?
Lu Fan noticed that Gao Fei and the ministers present were a little surprised, and hurriedly explained: "My lord said, Huaxia and Wu are brothers and allies... No, no, no, now they should be called uncle-nephew allies, nephews.
Naturally, I dare not go against my uncle, and the late king also left a last word that he must not be an enemy of the Huaxia Kingdom. Therefore, after much thought, my lord decided to abdicate the throne, regard himself as the king, profess his vassalage to the Huaxia Kingdom, and send protons to the Huaxia Kingdom.
country……"
After hearing this, Gao Fei frowned. If he accepted Sun Ce's declaration of vassalage, then this war would not have to be fought, and unity would appear on the surface. However, he was also worried about whether Sun Ce's proclamation of vassalage to the Huaxia Kingdom was sincere.
, if you are not sincere, then it is equivalent to sitting back and watching Wu Guo linger. Moreover, the soldiers and generals of Wu State are not weak, and the civil servants and generals are full of talents. In addition, Huaxia
The country's economic center of gravity has begun to move south. The commercial port located on the border between Huaxia and Wu has developed much faster than the domestic ones. In the long run, it will inevitably pose a threat to Huaxia. The meaning of surrender is very simple, that is, I
I will surrender to you, but retain the original things. The country's politics, military, and economy are all relatively independent. This is undoubtedly Sun Ce's strategy to delay the war.
After Jia Xu heard Lu Fan's words, he stood up quickly and said to Gao Fei: "Your Majesty, General Zhenyuan sent an urgent report from Liangzhou, saying that the Xiqiang is ready to move..."
After hearing this, Gao Fei immediately stood up and said to Jia Xu with a slight complaint: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jia Xu said slightly apologetically: "I also suddenly remembered it, so..."
"Forget it, forget it." Gao Fei waved to Jia Xu, then helped Lu Fan up, and said to Lu Fan: "Pingnan Hou, please have a good rest in the post house. The military situation in the northwest is urgent, and the Xiqiang are stubborn and unclear. I have to hurry up.
Go back and handle military affairs..."
"Your Majesty, as for my Lord's surrender..." Lu Fan was anxious and said hurriedly.
"This matter is of great importance. I have to gather all the courtiers and discuss it before I can make a decision. I will take my leave first, Marquis Pingnan. Minister of the State, please treat Marquis Pingnan well." As soon as Gao Fei finished speaking, he strode out in a hurry.
room.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Lu Fan stood up and hurriedly chased him out, but no matter how he shouted, Gao Fei didn't look back.
Seeing Lu Fan chasing after him, Guoyuan hurriedly stopped Lu Fan and said to Lu Fan with a smile on his face: "Marquis Pingnan, the military situation is urgent and there is no need to delay. I believe Marquis Pingnan should know about it. Why don't Marquis Pingnan rest in the post house for now?"
After a while, when the emperor is finished with the military affairs, he will naturally meet with Pingnanhou again. Pingnanhou, please!"
Lu Fan saw that the matter had reached this point, and his pursuit was in vain. It was obvious that Gao Fei left on purpose. He frowned. Although he didn't know why Sun Ce insisted on surrendering to the Huaxia Kingdom, it was an imperial order.
He is Sun Ce's confidant, so he naturally has to do his best.
He turned back to the room, saw the territory map of the three states and sixteen counties of the Wu Kingdom, and began to think carefully about how to complete this mission.
After coming out of the State Guesthouse, Gao Fei took a deep breath and said to Jia Xu next to him: "Guo Zhang, thank you so much just now. If you hadn't suddenly said something happened in the northwest, I'm afraid Lu Fan would have been entangled with me.
…”
"The emperor does not need to worry about these small things. It's just... I just saw that the emperor's face seemed to be moved. What was written in that blood letter?" Jia Xu asked carefully.
"Take it and take a look. You will know at a glance." Gao Fei handed the blood book to Jia Xu.
After a quick look, Jia Xu sighed, and then said: "Sun Wentai attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his thoughts are so far-reaching. It seems that Sun Ce must have wanted to follow his father's orders, so he sent Lu Fan to meet the emperor. Your Majesty
Do you have any thoughts in your mind?"
"Sun Ce asked Lu Fan to not talk about the Republic, but directly talk about the subject matter. In other words, Sun Ce knew that even if Wu State reluctantly merged with the Huaxia State, there would be no real republic at all. So he skipped the Republic directly.
, came to talk about being a vassal, and wanted to use this to delay time..."
"It turns out that the emperor has made up his mind a long time ago. I thought that the emperor would be deceived by Sun Jian's blood letter. It turns out that the emperor has already seen through the other party's intentions. It seems that I am too worried." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Haha, not necessarily. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come out so quickly. By the way, have all the members of Qilin's two parties investigated clearly?" Gao Fei suddenly asked.
