Chapter 791: Qian Guochao Meeting
Gong Yangchun widened his eyes and murmured,
"Only three throws resulted in three consecutive sacred hexagrams. This is unprecedented and rare in history.
It can be seen that our ancestors were determined to agree.
The grandson must obey the wishes of the ancestors!"
Gongyang Chun kowtowed three times respectfully.
Then, he took Gong Yang Zhan out of the ancestral hall and went to his room.
Gong Yang Zhan felt relieved. It seemed that his choice was indeed the right one. The ancestors had agreed with the three consecutive holy hexagrams. What could be wrong?
I went into the bedroom and closed the door.
Gongyang Chun said to Gongyang Zhan,
"Second brother, sit on the chair."
Gong Yangzhan didn't understand what was going on, but he quickly sat down.
However, the next second, Gong Yangchun knelt down in front of him and said,
"Second brother, on behalf of the entire clan, I kneel down to thank you for saving my life!"
After saying this, he kowtowed to Gong Yang Zhan.
Gong Yangzhan was shocked and quickly knelt down, kowtowed in return, and said,
"Brother, how can we do this? This will shorten my life span. Hurry up and get up."
After they stood up, they sat down. Gong Yangchun said,
"Second brother, tell me, what should we do this time?"
Gong Yang Zhan immediately said,
"Tomorrow morning, Wenbohui and I will vigorously publicize the fearsomeness of the Yan army, portraying them as heavenly soldiers and generals, so that Your Majesty and the ministers know that Daqian has no chance of winning this battle.
First plant a seed in your majesty's heart.
But don't rush to persuade them to surrender. Wait until the Yan army marches south and our army suffers several defeats, then we can persuade Your Majesty to surrender.
If Your Majesty surrenders and the handover takes place peacefully, then everything will be fine.
If Your Majesty would rather die than surrender, we can also open the city gate, let the Yan army in, and capture Your Majesty alive.
No matter what, our Gongyang family must make contributions, otherwise, Dayan would not have allowed such a large family power as our Gongyang family to remain in Qian State.
Looking at the countries destroyed by the State of Yan, those families who surrendered in advance have now become provincial governors.
If we wait until the Yan army enters the city before surrendering, it will be too late and our whole family will become slaves."
Gong Yangchun nodded slowly and said,
"That makes sense. Let's do it then."
"Then should we inform our followers in advance so that they can cooperate when the time comes?"
"No need. We are all smart people who can read people's expressions. Besides, it's not the final word yet, so I can't express my opinion. But I won't object to you or refute you. Others will know what's going on.
What we discussed today must not be made known to others, so we must keep it secret first."
"Brother understands."
"You can't even tell your wife, daughter-in-law, or grandchildren, understand!"
"Understand!"
"Okay, it's late. Go home after dinner. Your family is waiting for you."
"I'll go home and eat. I'll tell them while I eat. They're all very worried about Ge'er."
"Okay, go ahead."
Gong Yangzhan nodded, turned and left the prime minister's residence.
He came out from the back door and took a carriage back to his home.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw his wife, daughter-in-law and grandson, all sitting and waiting for him, with steaming hot food on the table.
"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
Gong Yangzhan picked up his grandson and said with a smile,
"You're a little heavier again. Tell grandpa, you haven't been eating well at home during this period?"
"Grandpa, I eat four bowls of rice every day."
"Amazing! You will definitely be taller and stronger than your father in the future."
Gong Yangzhan put his grandson down and sat down to eat while talking.
His wife said quickly,
"Master, please tell me, how is Ge'er doing in the Yan army now? He hasn't been wronged or bullied. Has he become fat or is he being bullied?"
"Oh, I'm eating."
"Hurry up and tell me! If you don't, I'll throw your bowl away. What's more important to you, eating or your son? These three people are eagerly waiting for you to speak!"
Seeing his wife was angry, Gong Yangzhan laughed and said,
"You all, just put your minds at ease. Ge'er is fine. Not only has he not lost weight, he's actually gained weight.
No one bullies him there, and the Yan court values him very much. I have been eating and living with him these days, so how could I not know that?
Moreover, Ge'er made great contributions. I saw with my own eyes that he charged into battle and defeated the enemy. The battle that destroyed the State of Chu was the first battle he fought.
The Emperor of Yan praised him highly.
Hearing this, the three family members were relieved.
"As long as Ge'er is okay, I'm glad he's okay. I just don't know when he can come back."
"When he comes back, he will bring his troops to beat us up."
Hearing this, the little grandson was surprised.
"Ah? Grandpa, will Daddy lead his troops to fight us?"
"Yes, because you don't eat well, don't study hard, and are naughty and playful, your father will definitely beat you."
"Then I will study hard in the future so that Daddy won't spank me."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gong Yangzhan was laughing so hard that he had an appetite and ate two big bowls.
Seeing that he was in such a good mood, the other family members also believed that what he said about Gong Yang Ge was true.
……
The next day, morning.
Gongyang Zhan and Wenbo, as well as other civil and military ministers, rushed to the palace and stood in the second row of the court.
The first row is for the Three Dukes, who are just one of the Nine Ministers.
Many people asked the two about the outcome of the negotiations, but they both kept silent.
The behavior of the two of them led many people to speculate that the peace talks might have been successful and they were waiting to be the first to take credit to the emperor.
Everyone despises this kind of behavior.
Who else can take away this credit from you?
A moment later, Emperor Qian stepped onto the dragon throne.
After the ceremony, Emperor Qian waved his hand and said,
"The Minister of Rites and the Minister of Grain have returned. Now that you are back, let's discuss important matters first.
Tell me the result of your trip. Is Yan State willing to negotiate peace with Daqian?"
Gong Yangzhan stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, the State of Yan is unwilling to negotiate peace with our country and has vowed to conquer Yugui and destroy our country."
When the ministers heard this, they were first shocked and then furious, and they all denounced Yan State for its arrogance.
Emperor Qian waved his hands in disappointment and said,
"It's only to be expected. Of the nine kingdoms in the world, Yan occupies eight. Chu and Chu are both destroyed, leaving only Qian. How could they possibly let us go?
If they don't want to negotiate, then there's no need to talk.
Then fight."
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's fight. We, the Great Qian, are powerful throughout the land. How could we be afraid of those jackals from the north?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have hundreds of thousands of warriors and can fight against the State of Yan."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops into battle. I will not return to the capital until the Yan bandits are annihilated!"
"I am also willing to fight to the death!"
Looking at the indignant crowd of civil and military officials, Emperor Qian did not let his passion get the better of him, but said,
"You two have been in the Yan army camp for such a long time, but you haven't found any useful intelligence?"
