Nan Yanxi pretended to read the letter seriously and put it on the desk.
He sneered, raised his head and said to Li Su: "Master Li... Actually, this letter is meaningless whether you read it or not."
"It says here that everything Xiang Yang did back then and his confrontation with my Ming Dynasty King Master were all under the orders of his father, and he had no intention of doing so!"
“I don’t care whether it’s true or false, I just treat it as true.”
"Just one thing, what is your role... Don't talk about defending the country and guarding the border. I have many men who are good at conquering and fighting, and none of them is better than Xiang Yang."
"How many soldiers does he have left in his hand now? Fifty thousand? Eighty thousand? One hundred thousand? Haha... Even if it is two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, what do I have to fear?"
"If I mobilize an army to come here, believe it or not, we can defeat him in less than half a month!"
After saying that, Nan Yanxi paused, then stood up and came behind Li Su, looked at the scenery outside the door with her hands behind her back, and said slowly: "Of course... you just said that I have the virtue of a good life.
.”
"Submit to my Ming Dynasty in peace, but it also saves a lot of trouble. Guard the border for my Ming Dynasty... It's not that I can't agree!"
"But...he, Xiang Yang, must let me know what the biggest role of incorporating him is."
"You have to make me feel that...it's worth taking such a big risk! Hmm...?"
After saying that, he turned around and patted Li Su on the shoulder, then pretended to be whispering and whispered into his ear: "To tell you the truth... your lord is not the only one who is eyeing the throne of the vassal."
!”
"The two princes of the Lin family, Lin Xiaoyun and Lin Xiaofeng, have been staring at me for a long time... You also said that I am a benevolent and righteous king..."
"If I win the world of Dayan, I can't kill all the descendants of the Lin family, right?"
"Li Aiqing...what do you think? Hmm...?"
"Uh...yes, yes...what your majesty said makes sense...!" After hearing this, Li Su could only nod his head in agreement.
Hearing Nan Yanxi say that the two Lin family members were also eyeing the position of the vassal king, Li Su suddenly started muttering in his heart, talking about allies and secretly forming an alliance to fight against the Ming Dynasty! It's all bullshit!
Judging from this, those two people must have come to see Nan Yanxi a long time ago.
Li Su secretly thought that he would have to report this matter to his lord this time when he went back! These two people from the Lin family are really not good people. They talked about forming an alliance openly, but they were already ready to stab them behind the scenes.
If the two of them had negotiated this cooperation, then Nan Yanxi would no longer consider Xiang Yang.
By the time the troops arrive, it will be too late!
Thinking of this, Li Su finally lost his temper and hurriedly raised his hands to Nan Yanxi and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is right, your Majesty is truly a benevolent and righteous king!"
"However... I still suggest that your Majesty give more consideration to my lord... I have a few words from the bottom of my heart, I don't know whether to say them or not."
Seeing the fish taking the bait, Nan Yanxi smiled secretly in her heart, but her face remained calm.
He stretched out his hand towards Li Su: "Li Aiqing, it's okay to say it, I will pardon your innocence!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Su bowed his hands respectfully, pondered for a moment, and after sorting out his thoughts, said slowly: "Excuse me... I, the Ming Dynasty, can achieve what I have today."
"It is inseparable from His Majesty's civil and military skills, but... we still have to be cautious about this matter of granting the title of vassal king!"
"After all, this matter is the foundation of the country. We must consider both personal ability and personal loyalty. Otherwise, if one day, these vassal kings threaten their own troops, it will be absolutely terrible!"
"I know that your Majesty is kind-hearted, but since ancient times, there have been countless examples of vassal kings committing rebellion. Your Majesty must be cautious!"
After saying that, Li Su changed the topic: "Your Majesty, the Lin family brothers are going to cause rebellion. The little emperor Lin Shenqing is in danger!"
"If my lord hadn't led the troops to rescue him, Lin Shenqing's head would have been chopped off and hung on the city gate tower."
"These two people are inherently rebellious, and they are members of the Lin family's bloodline. At this time, the situation forces them to bow to His Majesty, but once they gain power in the future, they will definitely have a rebellious heart!"
"But my lord is different. He has had a good life since he was a child. If he hadn't been forced to raise an army by his old lord, he would not have wanted to kill."
"The purpose of repenting now is to atone for the serious sins committed before."
"If the emperor shows you a favor today, my lord will definitely be grateful and will never forget it!"
Li Su became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and analyzed the strength of both sides to Nan Yanxi. He first made a disdainful evaluation of the Lin brothers.
"Your Majesty, I'm not rude, and I don't say whether the Lin brothers will have rebellious intentions in the future, but just because of their ability to lead troops to fight, they are not worthy of the position of a vassal king who defends the country and guards the borders!
"
"You don't know what happened back then. After the two of them merged, they took advantage of the untouchables' reputation and took advantage of the right time, place and people. But what happened next..."
"He was easily defeated by my lord, and he shrank like a turtle to the northeast. He was in constant panic all day long!"
"Your Majesty! How can such mediocre people guard our country for the Ming Dynasty?"
After speaking, Li Su bowed deeply to Nan Yanxi again: "Your Majesty... I understand what you just said."
"Whatever your will is, just give it. I will go back and convey it to my lord immediately. I think he will definitely comply with it."
"Well...well said!" Listening to Li Su's eloquent words, Nan Yanxi felt that this guy's mouth was really powerful.
Turn black into white, turn rude into polite, he is the good one, he is the great one... all the good things belong to his family.
It's true that a dog can lift the door curtain, all with his mouth.
However, this operation was in line with Nan Yanxi's intention. He smiled and nodded, and said to Li Su: "This is right..."
"That's what I mean... This king's position cannot be sealed by simply sealing it. Naturally, I have to be cautious. Your ability to wait is very important!"
"Presumably Li Aiqing is also here. The foundation of our Ming Dynasty is many reforms and new policies!"
"These reforms and new policies are naturally great for the common people, but they will greatly harm the interests of these powerful noble families."
"This Great Yan has been entrenched by powerful noble families for a long time, and I am busy with the development and construction of the Western Region and the Northern Plains, so I really don't have the energy to take care of it anymore."
"That's what I think. I will temporarily divide the Lin family brothers and your lord into three vassal kings, and temporarily lead the three largest clans in Dayan."
"Within half a year, we will completely eradicate the clans in a reasonable and reasonable manner and implement new policies for the people within the territory. Whoever does these two things best will be the best."
"When the time comes, I will issue an imperial edict and seal the entire Southern Territory of Great Yan to him."
"As long as their descendants do not commit serious crimes or rebel, they can be hereditary for generations to come!"
After saying that, Nan Yanxi looked at Li Su and said seriously: "Master Li, don't say anything that I have no intention of peace. It's just that this matter of making the king a king is a major matter for the country!"
"And there are many people under me who are awaiting reward for their great achievements. If your master is not very capable, it will only be a pity."
"Yes, yes... Your Majesty is right!" Li Su replied quickly, cupping his hands towards Nan Yanxi and saying, "This is easy to discuss, Your Majesty. Please be patient for a few days."
"I will rush back immediately to repay my lord... I think my lord will be very happy to come!"
"Well, that's good!" Nan Yanxi waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Let's do this...I'll give you twenty days."
"If within twenty days, you reply to my letter and agree to my conditions, then we will stop fighting and make peace."
"If after twenty days, you still can't come up with a solution, then don't blame me for being unkind. By then, wherever the army goes, not a single blade of grass will grow!"
After saying that, Nan Yanxi stretched out and seemed very tired: "Okay... I'm tired, you can go back too."
"Just bring this to your lord, it's up to you whether we'll see you again in court or on the battlefield!"
After saying that, Nan Yanxi stood up directly without waiting for Li Su's reaction, and took Li Shuwan's little hand back to the back hall.
Seeing this, the chief eunuch next to him shouted in a high voice: "Best farewell to Your Majesty!"
Li Su quickly opened his mouth and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Long live...Long live...!"
Then he knelt down and saluted. It wasn't until Nan Yanxi and the two disappeared from sight that he slowly stood up.
