After all, if you think about it deeply, it's simply terrifying.
Wei Yunyi was very clear about this, but the current situation could not be changed.
What we can do now is to find ways to curb the luck in this process.
There is nothing wrong with agreeing to Meng Jue and the Baiyue's surrender. The key is how to deal with it.
After all, a war cannot be started now.
But there are also some rules to follow when it comes to surrendering.
On the other side, Meng Jue was stunned after hearing Wei Yunyi's words, and then said: "Your Majesty, please explain clearly."
In fact, he didn't understand in his heart that he had already surrendered, which should be the most desired outcome for the Emperor of Wei. This was something that had not been accomplished in this dynasty or even in all previous dynasties. Why did he still have something to say at this time?
However, now that he has surrendered, Meng Jue should listen carefully to what the Emperor of Wei has to say.
It's impossible to say that the other party will continue to fight.
This is really hard to understand.
Wei Yunyi nodded and continued, "I've said that the Baiyue can submit, but they don't have to be directly incorporated into the Wei territory. They can first become a vassal of the Wei. The Wei also recognizes the autonomy of the Baiyue. In this way, both sides can legitimately engage in certain activities, including trade and cultural exchanges."
"And our Great Wei can also give the Baiyue more power. Although they are vassal states, they are on a relatively equal footing. What do you think?"
This sentence stunned everyone present. Song Gongwen and others were puzzled and thought it was too hasty.
Originally, Meng Jue wanted to surrender and incorporate the Baiyue into his territory.
In this way, it can be considered as expanding territory.
This is the greatest achievement for an emperor, almost surpassing all other civil governance.
After all, compared to the prosperity of domestic affairs and economy, the abundant martial virtues and the dominance over the world are what people talk about most.
However, His Majesty actually gave up such an achievement, which made everyone a little puzzled, but at this time, no one spoke.
Because judging from what happened today, almost everyone feels that Your Majesty has his own considerations and must not just look at the surface.
Compared to the incomprehension of those people from the Wei Dynasty, Meng Jue was stunned at first after hearing this, but soon he was pleasantly surprised because he heard another meaning from it.
That is, the Emperor of Wei accepted his surrender, but would not make himself and Baiyue completely vassals of Wei.
Having more autonomy and power, what that equates to, is a close and intimate relationship between the two parties.
However, they are on an equal footing.
mean.
Even though the Emperor of Wei had gained absolute dominance over the Baiyue, he still wouldn't let them submit. With such generosity and such a broad mind, Meng Jue really didn't know what to say.
The other party was clearly able to forcefully incorporate Baiyue into their territory, and as a subject, they gave Baiyue such respect.
Therefore, the Baiyue people in the future could still maintain the same good relationship with the Wei Dynasty as before, but they did not need to obey the Wei Dynasty court completely.
Meng Jue had never thought of such a thing, but it actually happened, which made him feel incredible.
Immediately, Meng Jue knelt again and said with emotion, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seriously, if you even need to hesitate about something like this.
He would feel stupid.
Naturally, you have to accept it immediately.
"Okay, since you agree, I'm relieved."
At this time, Wei Yunyi was very happy and felt that his goal was half achieved.
In fact, what he wanted was very simple. He wanted to accept the surrender of Baiyue, but not complete surrender, and give the other party enough autonomy. In this way, Baiyue would not be incorporated into the territory of Wei, and the increase in luck would definitely not be too exaggerated.
Another point is that this approach can calm the conflict between the two sides, but more importantly, it can prevent Baiyue from becoming part of the Wei Dynasty.
Perhaps in a few years, thanks to the help of Wei, Baiyue will develop better than before, and Meng Jue will have other ideas?
Anyway, both sides are in a relatively equal position, and it will be more convenient for the other party to break away from Wei at that time.
In short, we must try every possible means to curb the fortune of the Wei Dynasty.
Otherwise, Wei Yunyi would not have made this choice at all.
This is the only solution.
The final outcome of this battle is already determined and cannot be changed no matter what.
It's better to let things take their course for now and then do something about it, otherwise it will only backfire.
Wei Yunyi was worried that if the war continued, the entire Baiyue would be directly incorporated into the Wei Dynasty, and there would be no room for surrender or submission. Therefore, it was right to make up for the losses in a timely manner.
He immediately looked at Meng Jue in front of him, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, I, as the Emperor of Wei, will grant you the title of King of Baiyue. You will be in charge of all matters of Baiyue, big or small, and you can make all decisions on your own."
Since it was a surrender, there had to be some formalities involved. Enthroning him as king and maintaining a vassal relationship were also common practices of the Central Plains dynasties.
Just like Gao Yang was enthroned by the Wei Dynasty, Wei Yunyi would naturally not miss out on such a thing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Meng Jue naturally would not refuse when he heard this.
He thought about it in his mind and realized that the current situation seemed to be surrender, but in fact it was no different from asking for peace, and it was even better.
Because this not only calmed the war between the two sides, but also allowed Baiyue to gain more benefits and achieve substantial development in the future with the help of Wei.
Moreover, Meng Jue had not yet thought that after surrendering, the Emperor of Wei would carry out a major reshuffle of the Baiyue senior officials.
