Chapter 388 The Third Method

Zheng Dong was stunned when he heard what King Zuoluwei said.

This Yinzhou City is the economic lifeline of the Nanyue Kingdom. Because there are several silver mines, this city is called Yinzhou.

One-third of all the expenses of the Nanyue Kingdom are supported by the silver mines in Yinzhou City.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? You should also be aware of the importance of Yinzhou City to our Nanyue Kingdom. I don't think it is possible for General Zhao Yu to agree to this matter."

King Zuo Luwei smiled indifferently.

"If you don't agree to this king's request, then go back where you came from."

"This……"

Zheng Dong was in a dilemma.

"To tell you the truth, even if you don't give it to me, wouldn't I want to snatch it? I have 20 people under my command, and now I'm occupying Moke City, condescending, and the Nanyue Kingdom is already in our pocket. We think that we can go south to attack you at any time. Therefore, it is best to be sensible and not let us fight each other, otherwise it will be a great loss to you General Zhao Yu."

Zheng Dong was stunned, it seemed that Ji Shanyue wanted to be real.

He pondered for a while, and said, "I, a little counselor, can't make the decision on this matter, so I'll go back and report to our General Zhao, and he will decide."

King Zuo Luwei nodded, waved his hand and said, "Now you can leave."

Zheng Dong bid farewell and left, got on his horse and went straight to the capital of Nanyue Kingdom to report the matter.

Zhao Yu was very happy to see Zheng Dong coming back, and quickly asked about the result of the negotiation.

Knowing that Shanyue was still in Yinzhou City, he was stunned and sat on the chair for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, he came back to his senses, stared at Zheng Dong, and angrily said: "When King David on the left wanted Yinzhou City, why didn't you stop him and bring such conditions back to see the general, the general didn't know What's the use of you as a counselor!"

Zheng Dongchao bowed his hands to Zhao Yu and said, "General, it's not that this subordinate didn't stop him. This subordinate has already told King Zuoluwei all his interests, but he has a tough attitude. Apart from handing over Yinzhou City, otherwise he will definitely not cooperate. your."

"hateful!"

Zhao Yu punched the coffee table. He had already lost the western land before he took the seat of the King of Nanyue. Now if he lost Yinzhou City, what would it mean for him to sit on the seat of the King of Nanyue? ?
"Mr. Zheng, tell me, should this general agree to King David's condition from the left?"

Zheng Dong pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Zheng feels that he cannot agree to this request. I think King David on the left is not just thinking about Yinzhou City. We agree to his conditions now, and he will make more demands in the future. At that time, the general may find it difficult to satisfy him."

Zhao Yu nodded, agreeing with Zheng Dong's analysis.

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

Zheng Dong thought for a while, then stared at Zhao Yu and said, "If we don't rely on Shanyue, and the general is afraid that civil officials will stop you from ascending the throne, there is only one way, and that is to eradicate all of these disobedient civil officials."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu was slightly surprised.

Zheng Dong is also a literati, how could he make such a ruthless suggestion.

There were at least 200 civil servants in the capital of Nanyue, and most of them opposed him. If they were all killed, it might cause quite a commotion.

Zheng Dong saw Zhao Yu's thoughts, took a step forward, and continued: "General, you should never stop being disturbed by it. I know you don't want to leave a reputation of being improper or murderous. But now is an extraordinary period. Sacrificing two hundred civil servants is better than losing Yinzhou City."

Zhao Yu bit his lower lip slightly. Even Zhou Jing, the civil servant who resisted him the most, didn't kill him, but locked him up.

"Is there really no third way?"

"Yes, it's just that you will not choose this method, General."

Zhao Yu looked at Zheng Dong.

Zheng Dong sighed and said, "This method is for the general to take the initiative to return the power to the descendants of the former Nanyue king, so that the civil servants will not oppose you, and you can still gain a good reputation."

Zhao Yu was silent.

He has worked so hard for so long, betrayed Mo Ke City, and if he can't ascend the throne and become the king of Nanyue in the end, then everything will be in vain.

What is the difference between assisting Zhao Yi's descendants to succeed to the throne and making wedding dresses for others?
Moreover, Zhao Yi's descendants will definitely settle accounts with him if they succeed to the throne.

For his own wealth and life, he would never choose the third option.

If the first method cannot be used, there is only the second method.

Zhao Yu made up his mind, and said coldly to Zheng Dong: "Mr. Zheng, instead of the general, you invited all the [-] civil servants in the capital to the general's mansion, and said that the general wanted to discuss with them the establishment of a new king and the stability of the Nanyue Kingdom."

Zheng Dong knew in his heart that Zhao Yu had chosen the second option.

"Yes, I'll go right now."

When the civil servants in the capital saw Zhao Yu's summoning, they didn't want to go at first, but when they heard that they were going to discuss with them about establishing a new monarch, they immediately became very interested.

The Nanyue State emphasized culture. Although civilian officials did not manage military power, their treatment and official positions were higher than military generals. More importantly, civil officials could participate in discussing the succession of the new king, but military generals could not.

Now Zhao Yi and Zhao Mo from the South Vietnam Kingdom are being escorted to Yecheng, and Zhou Jing, the official censor, is nowhere to be found.

Zhao Yu became the nominal head of the hundred officials. Although he is a military general, he has the highest official position. It is reasonable for him to call all the civil officials to discuss the establishment of a new monarch.

The civil servants went to the Hussar General's Mansion one after another.

Along the way, they talked a lot.

"No matter how powerful this Zhao Yu is, he is a military commander after all. If he wants to establish a new king, he still needs to find us civil servants."

"No, the Nanyue Kingdom has always valued civility over military affairs. The future Nanyue Kingdom will still rely on us. Without us, the Nanyue Kingdom will be paralyzed and unable to function."

"I heard that Zhao Yu had always wanted to become the king of Nanyue. Why did he suddenly want to establish a new king this time? Is there any fraud in this?"

"Impossible. Although Zhao Yu holds the military power, we civil servants hold the pen. If he dares to hurt us, he will be infamous forever. So you don't have to be afraid, we just go to the banquet with peace of mind."

The civil servants didn't believe that Zhao Yu dared to do anything to them.

Soon, they entered the Hushi General's Mansion one after another, and took their seats according to their official ranks.

After all of them sat down, the Hussar General's mansion was closed, and the soldiers who had been hiding for a long time rushed out and surrounded the two hundred civil servants.

Now the civil servants were surprised to find out that they had been tricked.

"What do you want to do?"

"Under General Zhao's order, investigate your collusion with South Vietnam in an attempt to overthrow the South Vietnam. Now that the evidence has been found, you will all be executed on the spot."

As soon as these words came out, the civil servants turned pale with fright.

Immediately they cursed.

"Bitch, you said we rebelled, where is the evidence!"

"Yeah, bring out the evidence!"
