Lin Ze took advantage of the general trend of countering the rebellion and almost used coercion to force the Wei family to surrender. The next step was to consolidate the results and settle the matter.
Lin Ze said to Ying Yang: "Thank you for your hard work, General Ying. Let the brothers go to the camp outside the mansion to rest first. I have asked Qianyuan to purchase a large amount of monster meat to reward the brothers in the evening."
Yingyang looked at Hu Hai and saw that he had no objection. He bowed his hands to Hu Hai and Lin Ze, then turned and left with his men.
After Yingyang left, Lin Ze said to Wei Li with a smile: "Master Wei, now we are all on our own, so let's talk ugly things up front. There are some things that require your cooperation."
Wei Li felt bitter in his mouth: "Young Master Lin, just ask."
Lin Ze's smile remained unchanged and he said: "Please, the head of the Wei family, on behalf of the Wei family, formally declare that in compliance with Lord Shang's order, the entire Wei family has surrendered to Young Master Hu Hai.
Similarly, Young Master Hu Hai will respond by saying that Mr. Shang had an agreement with him during his lifetime, and he is willing to protect the Wei family. In this way, the Wei family's decision to seek refuge with Young Master Hu Hai is justified."
From Lin Ze's point of view, Da Qin's emphasis was on having a legitimate name, and if Hu Hai wanted to truly bring the Wei family under his sect, this title was indispensable.
Of course, by doing so, the Wei family will not suffer any loss. It is equivalent to tying Hu Hai and the Wei family together.
Lin Ze's purpose of doing this, most importantly, was to dispel Emperor Qin's suspicion. Hu Hai could make an excuse. This was the condition for Wei Yang to surrender, and he had to protect the Wei family. Emperor Qin would not think too much about it after he found out.
Wei Li nodded: "This is easy, but you need to give me a few days to convince the elders of the Wei family."
Lin Ze smiled and shook his head: "A few days are too long, let's take one day. If the head of the Wei family finds it difficult, Mr. Hu Hai can help. After all, there are one hundred thousand brothers behind him."
Wei Li...
With Lin Ze's character, how could he allow a situation like Ye Chang Meng Duo to occur? Anyway, he has been forced once. Since Wei Li took the first step back, he would naturally take many more steps back.
Sure enough, Wei Li's face was complicated: "Then one day later, the Wei family will officially announce the matter to the outside world. Does Mr. Lin have anything else to say?"
Lin Ze nodded and said: "Well, one more thing. In a few days, Young Master will send some people to "help" the Wei family manage and protect the property. Please cooperate with the Wei family head at that time."
Wei Li's expression changed, and he said coldly: "Are you trying to interfere with our Wei family's property? This is a bit too much."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Master of the Wei family, please don't speak so harshly. Why is the Wei family not the Wei family? Aren't we all under the sect of Young Master Hu Hai? Besides, the young master sent people here because he wanted to make the Wei family prosperous."
But I don't think so in my heart. If I subjugate the Wei family, there will be no benefits other than a nominal surrender. Do you really think I am too busy?
Wei Li turned to Hu Hai: "Is this the true idea of the young master? I'm afraid that the family members will strongly oppose this matter, and the Wei family may be in chaos. Please give the young master more consideration."
Hu Hai's thoughts were the same as Lin Ze's. It's no good. Why would I accept you? Besides, he had already benefited from the Lu family's property. Naturally, he strongly supported Lin Ze. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have you."
Now, there won’t be any chaos.”
Wei Li looked back and forth at the pair of principals several times, and sighed: "Young master, you can make arrangements as you please. Our Wei family will definitely cooperate. If there is nothing else, I will go and convince the rest of the family."
Lin Ze nodded and smiled, "Master Wei, please take care of yourself. I and the young master will go back to the camp first."
…
After returning to the camp outside the city, Lin Ze and Hu Hai murmured and discussed how to end the situation. After a long time, Hu Hai sent an order to summon all the generals to discuss the matter.
Soon Yingyang and others gathered in Hu Hai's camp, waiting for Hu Hai's orders.
When Hu Hai saw that everyone had arrived, he ordered the guards to close the tent door, and then said: "This time the rebellion has been suppressed since the army left Chang'an, and now Wei Yang has surrendered. We have fulfilled all of our father's wishes. This is what we have done."
Let everyone take a look at the memorial that Shuai submitted to my father and see if there is anything that needs to be modified."
After speaking, he picked up a memorial from his desk. The guard beside him immediately took it knowingly and handed it to Ying Yang, who was standing at the front.
When Yingyang got it, he saw that it clearly stated the whole story of countering the rebellion, but it was just another version.
What Hu Hai described in the memorial was that since he received the imperial edict, he had been thinking very hard about how to fulfill Emperor Qin's request. After discussing with all the commanders, he came up with a clever way.
In the end, Hu Hai, with the help of nine generals, successfully persuaded Wei Yang to restrain himself, went to Chang'an alone to plead guilty to Emperor Qin, and successfully completed the task.
Hu Hai should be the main contributor to this matter, and all the major commanders also contributed a lot. It can be said that everyone is very happy.
As for Han Chen, he almost let Wei Yang go because he wanted to sabotage the plan. After being discovered, he tried to defect and was killed by everyone.
After Yingyang read it, a subtle look appeared on his face, and he passed it to another commander behind him, and so on, all nine commanders looked at it again, with the same twinkling eyes.
Hu Hai coughed lightly: "Do you think this memorial from me is acceptable?"
I saw nine people saying in unison: "The commander-in-chief is wise, I will admire him at the end."
Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then I will stamp the commander's seal on the memorial and send someone to Chang'an. As for whether to return to the court with the army, let's see how my father responds. Do you have any objections?"
The nine people replied in unison: "The general and others have no objections."
Hu Hai waved his hand: "Then everyone, please go back first and wait for the reply with peace of mind. By the way, before my father replies, please everyone be vigilant and guard the camp. In addition, I plan to reward the three armies in the evening, please convey it to your subordinates
brother."
After hearing this, Yingyang and others expressed their gratitude and left.
After everyone left, Hu Hai said to Lin Ze who was standing aside: "Lin Ze, do you think this young master is really useful?"
Lin Ze replied: "Young master, it will definitely be useful for you to share your credit with them. I'm afraid it won't be reflected now. In the future, today's events will make them slightly biased, and there may be unexpected benefits.
"
Hu Hai asked doubtfully: "How do you say this? Aren't they grateful to me now?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "At their level, how can anyone be so easy to bribe? At most, I feel grateful and will not work hard for the young master because of this small contribution. This is just the first step to leave a good impression."
"There are still many days to come. As long as you continue to show your kindness, young master, someone will always come to you. There are nine generals, and if you can convince one of them in the end, it will be a big profit."
Hu Hai nodded thoughtfully.
Speaking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but think of Han Chen again, and couldn't help but sigh: This Fusu is really a waste of resources. The commander of the Imperial Guard, what a good chess piece, was eaten like this, what a pity.
