Chapter 1672 Surrender
Although he could not be paraded in the streets, King Qin's heroic appearance still remained in the hearts of many girls in Liangcheng.
Although the hatred of the Northern Qi people towards the Zhou soldiers has not completely disappeared, their resistance has faded a lot.
Yun Dai took King Qin back to the palace.
Yao Shuibi didn't come, she ran away to no one knows where.
Ji Tangtang didn't go either. She said she wanted to go back to the tribe first and talk to her mother about what the war was about.
She was a saint after all, and she knew nothing about the tribe's decision-making.
Before leaving, she also told Zhao Shu that he should not leave in a hurry and wait for her to come back and go back to Dazhou with him.
She did not expect that it had snowed heavily for three days and three nights. The snow piled up to half a person's height. The army could not leave at all and was actually trapped.
Fortunately, food and grass can still support it for the time being.
Yun Dai quickly pushed forward the matter of letting Northern Qi surrender to Zhou Dynasty.
It's hard to think about this, but once you say it, it actually becomes easier.
At present, Northern Qi is in chaos, the people are miserable, and the court is in disarray, not to mention the imperial palace. The emperor who only ascended the throne with only an eldest princess to support his family is a waste.
The entire country is in danger.
At this time, as the eldest princess they valued most, it was relatively easy to accept her proposal to let the Eastern Zhou Dynasty help Qi State overcome the difficulties.
The eldest princess said that Zhou Guo would provide all kinds of help to the Qi State to make the people's lives easier and there would be no more wars in the future.
When the people heard that there would be no more wars, they were naturally happy.
The people are already very miserable. They worry about how to fill their stomachs every day and don't think too much about it.
But there are still many discerning people who can realize what the eldest princess wants to do.
Will Zhou Guo help Qi for no reason?
But they would not say this idea casually.
As the nobles and upper class of Qi State, they are also vested interests in this transaction.
In order to allow the surrender to proceed, Yun Dai will try her best to meet their requirements.
Her good attitude made Zhao Shu look down on her.
Yun Dai didn't care, and said with a smile: "Does the prince know what it means to settle accounts after the fall?"
"Um?"
"Now they are making demands. No matter how greedy and rude they are, I will agree to it. After all, the most important thing now is to change the state of Qi into a vassal state. When this matter is over, I will be free to take them in when I want. no?"
"It's up to you." Of course, Zhao Shu didn't care about these trivial matters.
He sat at the table drinking tea, watching her write orders and discussing things with several ministers, and said, "If you do this, you won't be afraid of losing face to see Xiao Yan and Xiao Ziye in the future."
"Did the prince say this to scare me?"
Yun Dai smiled and said, "I am thinking about the people of Northern Qi. If they are good emperors, they will understand me. If they are not, then why should I care about them? Besides, no one has stipulated that the Xiao family will be here for generations. Be the emperor of Northern Qi. For the people, it doesn’t matter if someone else becomes the emperor. As long as they can live a good life, what do you think?"
Zhao Shu asked: "What did Queen Mother Rong and Xiao Ziliang say?"
"Empress Dowager Rong didn't say anything. In fact, she was not willing to marry Beiqi. As for Xiao Ziliang, he wished he could offer the jade seal with both hands." Yun Dai said with a smile, "When I supported him as emperor, I thought that such a day would come. . His father left him to suffer among the people, so he will not help his father to protect his country."
