Chapter 249 The best candidate for peace talks(2/3)
In addition to having to fight the war personally, since he is not the crown prince, he also has to face conflicts with various forces such as the prince, emperor, and civil servants.
That's why Sheng Taizu told Fan Cun that the destruction of Xixia seemed like a climax, but in fact it was just the beginning.
No matter how strong the Western Xia people were, they were beaten so badly by Liu Fa in the northwest; but the Dukes of Qi Dynasty wanted Liu Fa to die, but they only needed an order from Tong Daofu.
Therefore, the difficulty of this prince's route is higher.
The third type is the scribes route that Chu Ge is taking.
In other words, it is a traitorous path to seeking peace...
Although there is no clear explanation in the game, Chu Ge has already discovered that the censor Zhongcheng Li Hao clearly followed the script written by Qin Huizhi.
Qin Huizhi was also taken captive to the north after the Jingping Incident and was assigned to Wan Yanchang as an aide.
After returning from the Kingdom of Jin, he completely changed from the person who still had some bottom line to a staunch peace advocate, or to be more precise, a capitulator.
Because the real peace should be to strive for the interests of the country as much as possible and seek temporary peace, then actively prepare for war, and then regain everything that has been lost.
During the war between the two countries, there is no peace, only a temporary truce.
But Qin Huizhi, a so-called peace advocate, sold the country's interests to seek peace, and even pursued his own private interests. Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that he is a traitor or a capitulator.
This route is naturally the least difficult.
Because as long as you abandon your moral bottom line as a human being, you can achieve your goals.
In short, after some analysis, Chu Ge confirmed that the so-called Yushi Zhongcheng Li Hao was a fictional character, but he was acting completely according to Qin Huizhi's script.
This made him feel a little bit sick. He never expected that he would play such an ultimate dog thief who would be infamy for eternity.
They all feel unclean.
This man's reputation was so ugly that not only was his name no longer called by anyone, but even his last name tended to be polluted. Along with everything about him, he was reviled and would never be able to stand up again.
But Chu Ge did not give up this identity and chose to start over.
He felt that the official arrangement of this route should have some profound meaning.
If you take the original route of traitorous surrender, then this dungeon can indeed be cleared relatively easily.
Is it because you want players to understand how Qin Huizhi stepped into the position of betraying his country and seeking glory during this process?
And if the player does not take this route, but takes another route...then, can he use another more difficult way to clear the dungeon?
With this speculation, Chu Ge continued to enter the game and began to prepare for a new day's challenge.
…
Seeing Wan Yanchang again, Chu Ge seemed to be a completely different person. He completely groveled and promised Wan Yanchang that if he returned to the Qi Dynasty, he would definitely be able to achieve the position of Prime Minister with his own abilities and try his best to do so.
The earth seeks more benefits for the Jin people.
I thought that such unscrupulous behavior should be recognized by Wan Yanchang, but Wan Yanchang just gave Chu Ge a meaningful and polite smile, exchanged a few words, and sent Chu Ge away again.
This attempt still failed to work.
Back at his residence, Chu Ge did a little analysis and finally confirmed his guess.
"Sure enough, if you want to convince Wan Yanchang, you can't just rely on verbal betrayal.
"After Wan Yanchang initially said to me that we would work together to promote peace, he still refused to let me go back to the Qi Dynasty. This was obviously because Wan Yanchang had great doubts about whether I could complete this task.
.
"He was not sure whether I would faithfully implement his plan, so he was always hesitant about letting me go.
"So, I have to find a way to convince him and make him confirm that I will carry out his plan to the letter.
"And this kind of persuasion also requires methods."
Chu Ge tried it first and honestly expressed his idea that he would completely side with the Jin people and work hard to sell all the national interests of the Qi Dynasty to the Jin State to reach a peace agreement. However, this was not recognized by Wan Yanchang.
If you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
Because these words are not convincing at all, but more like an expedient measure to run back to the Qi Dynasty.
Although many beautiful and traitorous pictures were painted, to Wan Yanchang, promises that were uncertain whether they would be fulfilled were worthless.
Therefore, the key at this time is not actually what to do after escaping back, but to make Wan Yanchang completely believe that after Li Hao returns, there is no other way to go except for peace.
After reconsidering clearly, Chu Ge found Wanyan Sheng again.
But what he said this time was completely different.
…
"If I can return to the Qi Dynasty, I will definitely do my best to promote peace between the two countries. Moreover, besides me, you can't find a second person who can do this." Chu Ge did not say anything anymore.
He maintained a groveling posture as before, but looked at Wan Yanchang with a confident expression.
It seems to be saying, this is not something I am asking for from you, but something you are asking for from me.
Sure enough, this attitude surprised Wan Yanchang, and he immediately asked: "How do you plan to promote peace talks between the two countries?
"And why, besides sir, is there no other candidate?"
Chu Ge had already made plans in his mind and immediately replied: "After returning to the Qi Dynasty, I will first try to become the prime minister.
"At this time, the emperor of Qi Dynasty actually had the intention of peace in his heart. He had no long-term plan to regain his homeland, but just wanted to settle down in a corner. After the Jingping Incident, the new emperor ascended the throne, but then fled all the way south.
Going to Yangzhou shows that he is not a man of great talent and strategy.
"After he ascended the throne, he briefly appointed Li Boxi for a period of time. After establishing the framework of the imperial court for him, he kicked him away and reused the mediocre ministers who had been following him as governor. It can be seen that for him, peace is better than war.
, A flattering minister is better than a straight minister.
"And if I want to become the Prime Minister, I only need to say one word to this new official, that's enough.
"'I can work with Wan Yanchang to reach a peace agreement between the two countries.' This sentence alone is enough to ensure that I become the prime minister and be used by him."
This is to explain the possibility of making a peace agreement after returning to the Qi Dynasty.
Originally, Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, was just a prisoner. Even if he escaped, his unclear experience in the Kingdom of Jin would make it difficult for him to be reused again.
People like Yu Jiaxuan who were born in the north and surrendered to the Qi Dynasty through rebellion cannot be reused, not to mention that Li Hao, played by Chu Ge at this time, is an out-and-out prisoner?
Therefore, it is unlikely that he will be held accountable, but becoming a prime minister is a bit of a fantasy.
And if you can't do it, you can't advocate peace talks between the two countries.
Chu Ge proved an effective way to become a prime minister, which naturally made it possible for Wan Yanchang's plan to be implemented.
Wan Yanchang's eyes lit up as expected, but then he asked a new question.
"However, how can I be sure that my husband will fulfill his promise?"
Obviously, Wan Yanchang is still very afraid that Li Hao will change his mind.
It's fine to say it now, because Li Hao is a prisoner and does not have any personal freedom. In order to regain his freedom, he must only choose what Wan Yanchang likes to say.
But once it is put back, Li Hao will be safe.
Since it was impossible for Wan Yanchang to capture him again, how could he be sure that Li Hao would faithfully carry out his plan?
To do this, certain skills are required.
Chu Ge was instantly possessed by the actor and sighed softly.
"Do I have any other choice?
"The Qi Dynasty had just crossed south at this time, and many of the official staff were his old staff who had followed him since he was the general of the army.
"Those old ministers, even those as capable as Li Boxi, were quickly alienated by His Majesty after completing their missions.
"I am not as talented as Li Boxi in governing the country, and I have had this miserable experience. If I want to be truly valued by the emperor, besides being able to broker peace talks for him, is there any other value?"
As soon as he said this, Wan Yanchang's expression suddenly became wonderful.
The worries that had been lingering in his mind before were instantly resolved!
Of course Wan Yanchang wants to put Li Hao back, but what happens after he puts him back? How can he control Li Hao?
Wan Yanchang has never thought about this, so naturally he has never been able to make up his mind.
But now, what Li Hao said proved one thing to him: Wan Yanchang had no need to control Li Hao at all.
Because Li Hao had a very sufficient motive to help him complete the peace negotiation between the two parties.
At this time, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty was Qi Gaozong, the ninth son of Qi Huizong. Fortunately, he escaped the Jingping Incident and was able to go to the south with a group of important officials from the Qi Dynasty to reorganize the imperial court.
Compared with the important ministers in this small court, Li Hao can be said to have nothing.
He neither had the close relationship with Qi Gaozong that he had with him from the beginning, nor was he as capable as Li Boxi, who could bring tangible benefits to Qi Gaozong.
Therefore, if Li Hao runs back, it is almost certain that he will not be reused.
And how can it be reused by Qi Gaozong?
It's very simple, he must be able to bring what Qi Gaozong wants: peace.
As mentioned before, Qi Gaozong himself was an emperor who wanted peace and quiet, and he was very resistant to war in his heart. When it came to negotiating peace, the ministers around him were basically incompetent, because it was difficult to match up with the Jin Kingdom.
People on the side.
