The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2115 Autonomous Road

Zhou Xingyan glanced at the dozens of Jurchen patriarchs present, smiled and took out an imperial decree from his sleeve robe.

All the Jurchen patriarchs got up and knelt down on the ground very consciously.

Zhou Xingyan didn't directly read the imperial decree, but said with a smile: "All the patriarchs are willing to come to Xingkai Lake for the appointment, and they have given me such a big gift to the emperor. It seems that they have all agreed to submit to my Song Dynasty?"

Before, the Great Song Dynasty did not send envoys to the Jurchen tribes to ask them whether they would submit or not.

From a rational point of view, these Jurchen patriarchs are not considered members of the Song Dynasty.It is understandable that they do not bow down.It's all on their own initiative.

Listening to Zhou Xingyan's words, all the patriarchs nodded repeatedly.

After living under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty for so many years, their ambitions are no longer what they used to be, and they have not been truly cultivated and become so powerful in these years.What they want now is still a space for peaceful reproduction and development, and to achieve this, surrendering to Song Dynasty is their inevitable choice.

These patriarchs knew very well in their hearts that even if they worked together, they would be far from being Song's opponent.

Since the Song Dynasty had already defeated the Yuan Dynasty, it was obvious that they would not let them establish themselves as kings here, or even establish another Jin Kingdom.

Zhou Xingyan nodded, and then opened the imperial decree, proclaiming: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said... the former Jurchen general Wan Yanzhang abandoned the darkness and surrendered to our dynasty. I fought the Yuan army to the death and died for the country. I felt his loyalty and bravery, and I felt the strength of the Jurchen soldiers. At that time, I swore to give the Jurchen people a place to rest after they ruled the world. If the patriarchs submit to the Song Dynasty and recognize the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, I will Willing to have sufficient autonomy with the Jurchen. The Jurchen people are managed and ruled by the Jurchen people, and Shangjing Road will be changed to the Jurchen Autonomous Road. As long as the Jurchen people insist on taking the Great Song Dynasty as the foundation, and the Great Song Dynasty exists for a day, the autonomous roads will be controlled by the Jurchen people self-government."

The eyes of all the Jurchen patriarchs were shining.

How long has this been their dream?

Although the Yuan Dynasty allowed them to reproduce in places such as Shangjing Road, they were exploited and suppressed in all aspects.They have no autonomy at all, and it can be said that they are not even counted as vassals.

The Jurchens also had no status in the Yuan Dynasty.

But now, Zhao Dongting promised them that as long as they can be fulfilled.That means that they will be the local emperors of Shangjing Road in the future, as long as they don't rebel.

This will of course be much better than before.

Autonomous Road, this is a new term.But just the word autonomy is enough to make these patriarchs feel like a deer.

Wan Yanzhang...

This is a name that is not unfamiliar to the Jurchen people, but some people praise it and others criticize it.Those who praised him felt that his "serving the thief" was for the future of the Jurchen, while those who belittled him thought that he was greedy for fame and fortune, regardless of the backbone of the nation.

But now, these patriarchs are grateful to Wan Yanzhang from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as this can be done, then Wanyanzhang will definitely be a great hero of the Jurchen clan and is worthy of praise.

For a long time, no one spoke.

Zhou Xingyan put away the imperial decree and said, "Why don't the patriarchs accept the decree? Could it be that they don't want to become the road of self-government under my Great Song Dynasty?"

Then he said: "Before my official departure, the emperor still has an oral order. While my court will grant many privileges to the self-governing road, there will also be many support policies. Let the Jurchen people and the Han people also live a happy life."

"I am willing! I am willing!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I will be loyal to the emperor in the future!"

The Jurchen patriarchs who were overjoyed came to their senses and hurriedly kowtowed.

The leader, the most influential patriarch in the clan, raised his hands and took the imperial edict respectfully.I couldn't hold back the smile on my face.

"Get up, everyone!"

Zhou Xingyan returned to his seat, and said again: "In a few days, there will be a decree from our Ministry of State Affairs of the Great Song Dynasty to Shangjing Road. At that time, Shangjing Road will be officially changed to the Jurchen Autonomous Road of the Great Song Dynasty. This decree will be announced in the main palace. It was promulgated by Shangjing. Before promulgating this decree, you have to elect the leader of the Jurchen, that is, my transfer envoy to the Jurchen autonomous road. Because at that time, the candidates for the transfer envoy and other positions must be announced at the same time."

All the Jurchen patriarchs nodded again and again, you look at me, I look at you.In the end, most eyes were on the patriarch who had the most influence in the clan.

If there is no accident, he is most likely to be elected as the transfer envoy of the Jurchen Autonomous Road.

Although it is said that the Jurchen tribe is not monolithic, as long as the Jurchen tribe acts as a transfer envoy and manages this place, it is always the best.

Zhou Xingyan looked outside and said with a smile: "I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. You may as well stay here for a day, and then go back to your clan."

This is polite.

Of course, the Jurchen patriarchs had to accept this face and agreed again and again.

After a group of people sat in the main hall for another meeting, they surrounded Zhou Xingyan and left.Everyone is respectful to Zhou Xingyan.

This incident was sudden, but because it was a great joy for the Jurchen tribe, the whole process went very smoothly.

It seems that Song Dynasty has suffered a disadvantage, but in fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the Jurchen people to manage the Jurchen people.

Zhao Dongting has fulfilled his original promise.
