Although they had already anticipated the purpose of Su Qingjue's banquet, Meng Zhixiang and Yang Pu still found it difficult to accept when they heard him put it so concisely.
The two fell into a long silence.
Seeing this, Su Qingjue just continued drinking, giving them enough time to think about it.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Even the maids who were pouring wine for Meng Zhixiang and Yang Pu noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Meng Zhixiang held the wine glass and stared at the bottom of the glass through the wine.
In fact, he had imagined a scene like today as early as when Su Qingjue proposed to attack Liang.
However, at that time, he did not know how strong Su Qingjue was, nor did he expect that Su Qingjue could capture Bianzhou so easily and even kill the King of Jin.
His idea at that time was very simple. On the one hand, he wanted to repay Su Qingjue for saving his life. On the other hand, after working with Qi and Wu to destroy Daliang, he could divide the world into three parts, which would be profitable for him.
however.
At this moment, Meng Zhixiang understood that it was impossible to divide the world into three parts.
With Su Qingjue's ability and ambition, he would definitely not agree to this idea.
Not only that, Su Qingjue directly revealed his intention, wanting him and the King of Wu to surrender.
Meng Zhixiang is different from Yang Pu. Yang Pu is old and his ambition is no longer as strong as before.
But Meng Zhixiang is now in his prime and has great ambitions. How could he be willing to surrender?
Meng Zhixiang wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that Su Qingjue would attack him in anger.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
So I can only use the tactic of "delay" first.
I plan to delay it first, and then refuse when he returns to the army and has a certain ability to fight back.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhixiang said in a deep voice: "General, this matter is of great importance. Can we go back and think about it carefully?"
Su Qingjue knew very well what Meng Zhixiang was thinking.
He smiled and shook his head: "King Shu, there is actually no need to delay some things."
"I'm hosting a banquet today because I want to have a good talk with you two."
"Let's use courtesy before force!"
"You two might as well think about it. Is there anyone in Wu and Shu who can stop me?"
Meng Zhixiang shook his head. He knew that what Su Qingjue said was true.
Given the opponent's strength, even if he escaped back to the army or to Shu, he would still be doomed to death.
"Ugh......"
Meng Zhixiang sighed and felt like he was on a pirate ship.
He realized that perhaps from the day he set foot in Qi, his and Shu's fate had been determined.
Although I am unwilling, there is nothing I can do.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
Meng Zhixiang stood up first and walked to the center of the palace under Yang Pu's surprised gaze.
He clasped his fists respectfully and said, "General, I am willing to help you achieve your great cause!"
Su Qingjue nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, I can also promise that after the establishment of the new dynasty, the status of the King of Shu will remain unchanged."
"But...your throne cannot be hereditary!"
Meng Zhixiang knew that this was the best outcome.
"Thank you, General."
After saying that, Meng Zhixiang returned to his seat and continued drinking.
Compared to Yang Pu who was feeling extremely uneasy, he now felt extremely relaxed.
Since he had made the decision to submit to Su Qingjue, his ambitions naturally disappeared.
Now, he just wanted to return to Shu, travel around with his beloved concubine, and enjoy life.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhixiang drank the wine in the glass, then smiled and said to the maid beside him: "Fill it up!"
There is a saying that describes his mood at the moment very aptly.
"As soon as a thought arises, the world becomes wider!"
......
......
Chapter 127: Emotional!
"No, Meng Zhixiang, where is your dignity as a prince? Where is your solar term?"
"How can you succumb to the tyranny of the other party so frivolously?"
"Even if you want to surrender, you should fight for more benefits!"
Yang Pu was a little annoyed.
Meng Zhixiang's unexpected action made him hold back what he wanted to say.
Originally, Yang Pu planned to put forward some conditions and then submit to Su Qingjue.
In this way, Su Qingjue not only obtained the Wu land, but he also did not lose face as the King of Wu.
It was a happy occasion for everyone, and everything was going well, but it was all messed up by this guy Meng Zhixiang.
Now, he really couldn't speak again.
After all, the King of Shu had set an example before and had already shown that he was willing to surrender without any conditions.
If he puts forward conditions, it would seem that he is out of touch with the times.
"Ugh......"
Yang Pu also sighed.
Su Qingjue asked knowingly, "I wonder why the King of Wu sighed?"
Yang Pu supported his body with his hands and slowly walked to the center of the palace.
He thought about it carefully and said, "General, I am willing to submit to you, but I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if..."
Yang Pu raised the question tentatively.
Su Qingjue was not angry about this. If he could deal with Wu and Shu without spending a single soldier, there would be nothing wrong in agreeing to some conditions.
He smiled and said, "King Wu, please feel free to speak."
Yang Pu raised his head and said with a flattering smile: "It is like this, I see that the general is not very old, but he has not yet married. I happen to have a daughter in my family who is about the same age as the general."
Su Qingjue asked, "But is it Princess Shangrao?"
Yang Pu was pleasantly surprised and said, "Exactly. The general recognized my daughter?"
Su Qingjue didn't know how to respond.
Of course he knew who Princess Shangrao was, because she was Hanba's wife in the original drama.
Later, a "little Hanba" was born to Hanba.
"Since the general recognizes my daughter, that's even better. As long as the general marries my daughter, I am willing to give the entire Wu Kingdom as a dowry..."
"no!"
at this time.
Suddenly, a delicate shout was heard outside the palace.
Everyone followed the sound.
Song Qingqing, dressed in red, rushed in aggressively.
She went straight to Su Qingjue, drove the maid away, then sat down and took over the task of pouring wine for Su Qingjue.
"This..." Yang Pu was quite surprised.
Who is this stunning woman who suddenly broke in? How dare she sit next to the general?
Meng Zhixiang recognized who the visitor was.
He thought that when he first arrived in Qi State, he had seen this beautiful woman.
Later, he found out that the other party was the Empress of Huanyinfang and the sister of Prince Qi Li Maozhen.
Therefore, when Yang Pu proposed to marry his daughter to Su Qingjue, he knew that Yang Pu's hopes were destined to be dashed.
"..."
Su Qingjue hadn't seen Song Qingqing for many days, so of course she missed her very much.
Now she actually came directly to Bianzhou to find him, Su Qingjue was quite happy.
However, he did not ask questions like "Why are you here?" nor did he show any extreme joy.
He just held Song Qingqing's hand out of habit, and then looked at King Wu Yang Pu.
"King Wu, I hope you can forgive me. Although I am not married, I have made a promise to Qingqing for life."
Looking at the perfect couple on the platform who looked like a couple from heaven, Yang Pu could no longer speak of marrying his daughter.
He was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "This is because my daughter is unlucky, no wonder the general is so unlucky."
"General, I am willing to help you achieve your great cause!"
"..."
After the banquet, Su Qingjue did not make things difficult for Yang Pu and Meng Zhixiang anymore.
After saying goodbye one after another, the two left the imperial city and returned to their own residences.
Su Qingjue took Song Qingqing to live in the palace.
......
That night.
Inside the magnificent palace.
Song Qingqing pouted and looked a little unhappy.
"If I didn't come, would you agree to him?" Song Qingqing said.
Su Qingjue laughed and said, "How could that be? In my heart, no one in heaven or on earth can compare to you!"
Song Qingqing's lips curled up slightly, and she was very satisfied with this answer.
She suddenly threw herself into Su Qingjue's arms, her voice sweet: "Brother, I miss you so much."
"So am I. But now that I have taken over Bianzhou, it is time to marry you into my family!"
Hearing this, Song Qingqing's eyelashes trembled, and her wine-red eyes became slightly moist.
She took a deep breath and got out of Su Qingjue's arms.
After untying the belt around her waist, the red dress fell off her body, leaving only the white dress underneath.
Song Qingqing blushed and whispered, "I see there's a hot spring in the backyard, I...I'm going to soak in it for a while, you...you are not allowed to come over!"
Su Qingjue swallowed and said, "Okay...Okay!"
Song Qingqing didn't dare to look at Su Qingjue again, her heart was beating like a deer.
She trotted away, leaving Su Qingjue standing there in a daze, with a fire burning in his heart.
Su Qingjue poured himself a cup of tea, waited for it to cool down, drank it in one gulp, and then stood up and walked towards the backyard.
After so many years, it's time...
It just so happens that he also wants to take a shower, so maybe we can take a shower together.
