Chapter 345 Smooth
After listening to this, Gao Zhongbo was silent for a moment.
Then he said with a wry smile on his face, "Hahaha... No wonder... No wonder... I regret... I regret not listening to the Queen Mother at the beginning..."
After Gao Zhongbo finished speaking, his face was full of dejection, and then he said to Xie Xunfeng, "Okay, that's all you have to say... Tell me... What do you want to do?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Gao Zhongbo, "Help us to reduce the power of the feudal lords. You should know that although all of you twelve feudal lords are dead or injured, and the troops in your hands have been almost consumed...but your feudal lord titles are still there, and you still have descendants and fiefs...So, I want you to go back and ask to reduce the power of the feudal lords..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Gao Zhongbo smiled and said, "You have a good plan... Asking to reduce the power of the feudal lords? Why should I listen to you... If I do this, wouldn't I become the villain of all the feudal lords? You can kill me if you want..."
"Hmph... Do you think that if you don't cooperate with us in reducing the power of the feudal lords, we won't be able to do so? I have been telling you that I am giving you a chance... We are now justified in reducing the power of the feudal lords, and His Majesty has issued several imperial decrees... You disobeyed the decree, and your actions have already involved treason... So there is no problem in executing your three clans..."
"And the reason why I want to do this is, firstly, it is better to have less trouble than more... Secondly, I really want to help you. After all, among the twelve princes, you are the smartest one..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Gao Zhongbo looked at Xie Xunfeng and said, "It's a lie to ask me to help you reduce the power of the feudal lords... Your main target is the Queen Mother, right..."
After hearing what Gao Zhongbo said, Xie Xunfeng smiled and said, "You are really a smart person... That's right, I want you to continue to help me lurk beside the Queen Mother... and then use you for our own benefit... and then we will eradicate all of the Queen Mother's followers..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Gao Zhongbo's face turned ugly.
The atmosphere at the scene was deathly silent.
Xiao Wenqin now understood and knew Xie Xunfeng's purpose.
At this time, Gao Zhongbo said to Xie Xunfeng, "If I agree, what can you promise me?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Gao Zhongbo, "I will promise that although your Gao family will not have the title of vassal king, your Gao family can still be prosperous and wealthy... But you should know very well... You have no reason to refuse... I have told you the plan... You can only agree or die..."
Gao Zhongbo said to Xie Xunfeng, "Aren't you afraid that I will fool you after I promised you?"
After hearing what Gao Zhongbo said, Xie Xunfeng smiled faintly, and then said, "Of course I'm not afraid, because you are a smart person... You should know which side to take... After the fall of the twelve princes, the conflict between the Queen Mother and His Majesty will inevitably become tit-for-tat..."
"And you know very well that His Majesty still has a mother-son relationship with the Queen Mother, so His Majesty wants to use a gentle approach... and he thought of you. This is an opportunity for you... Of course, you can choose not to use it..."
Gao Zhongbo looked at Xie Xunfeng's logical words and said, "I want to get on your boat..."
After hearing what Gao Zhongbo said, Xie Xunfeng's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.
Then he said to Gao Zhongbo, "Okay...it depends on how you do it..."
Gao Zhongbo's eyes lit up slightly, and then he said to Gao Zhongbo, "Okay, Xie Hongzi, just watch what I do..."
Seeing that Gao Zhongbo had agreed, Xie Xunfeng stopped talking to him.
Instead, he said to Xie Yong, "Xie Yong, from now on, you have to do as I said before!"
Xie Yong cupped his hands and said to Xie Xunfeng, "Brother, don't worry, I have already sent the people out... They should have arrived at Diqiu City now... After this, I believe the emperor will agree..."
Xie Xunfeng nodded, and then said, "Okay... Then, I will wait for your good news..."
After Xie Xunfeng finished speaking, he turned and left.
This time Gao Zhongbo followed obediently.
Xie Xunfeng followed Gao Zhongbo and said, "You should go back now and apologize, and let the Queen Mother help you... As long as the Queen Mother believes in you, the Emperor will turn a blind eye..."
Gao Zhongbo nodded to Xie Xunfeng, and then said, "Okay... Just do as you say, don't worry. I won't let you down... But don't forget your promise to me..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Gao Zhongbo, "Don't worry... Since you dare to promise me, you should be willing to trust my character..."
After listening to this, Gao Zhongbo nodded repeatedly and then left.
Watching Gao Zhongbo leave, Xiao Wenqin said to Xie Xunfeng, "Brother, are you willing to trust this old fox? Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and go to the Queen Mother and tell everyone about our affairs..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "Don't worry, he knows it very well now. He has no choice. Before, they were the Twelve Princes, so they still had a certain status in front of the Queen Mother . Now the Twelve Princes have been abolished... He has no choice... The Queen Mother will definitely not use him too much..."
"Brother, are you so confident?"
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin, "That's right, because I know people's hearts very well..."
The good news came one after another.
The people of Da Zhou are willing to restart negotiations with Da Xia.
After restarting the negotiations, Daxia agreed to withdraw its troops.
The Great Zhou paid compensation and agreed to the conditions stated at the Yuedan Conference.
After the two sides signed the treaty.
Da Zhou took the money and Da Xia withdrew its troops.
…
Xie Xunfeng led his army back to the city.
The original 100,000 troops he brought with him had grown to 200,000 by the time he returned.
The number of soldiers increased as the battle went on, and Xie Xunfeng was the first one to do so.
Xie Xunfeng ordered the 200,000 troops to return directly to Yuntaishan.
The tiger naturally didn't say anything.
When returning to Kyoto, Xie Xunfeng followed Xiao Wenqin and said, "Xiao Wenqin, all the credit this time will be given to you...you can receive it all..."
Xiao Wenqin waved his hands and said, "Brother... this won't work... how can this work?"
After hearing what Xiao Wenqin said, he then said, "No? Why not? I do this for a reason..."
After hearing what Xie Xunfeng said, Xiao Wenqin looked at Xie Xunfeng.
"For your contribution this time, His Majesty will certainly make you a king and give you a fiefdom... If you accept all of it, it will definitely cause jealousy from others... So, you must accept both the title and the fiefdom , but as for the fiefdom, you have to choose..."
Xie Xunfeng said to Xiao Wenqin.
Xiao Wenqin was a little surprised after hearing what Xie Xunfeng said.
