The Emperor of Jin was so angry these days that he almost went insane. When he heard that Li Yuanming, the great poisoner of Shang, was coming to visit him, he was horrified - was this bastard here to collect debts
In fact, Li Yuanming arrived at Lequan City, the capital of Jin, in the afternoon, but was not summoned until after dinner. During this period, the emperor of Jin not only temporarily suppressed his anger, but also summoned all officials to discuss how to deal with the "difficulties" that were about to come from the Shang Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the officials of Jin State were all trying to protect themselves, and after discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come up with a truly feasible solution. They talked for an entire afternoon, talking like a surging river, but there was no useful, practical suggestion.
The Jin emperor was so angry that he was shaking, but he was powerless. Finally, he had to summon Li Yuanming.
When Li Yuanming came in, he saw a pale emperor. The Jin emperor had dull eyes and a black forehead, which was obviously not a good sign.
But Li Yuanming was a smart man. He didn't exchange pleasantries or politeness when they met. Instead, he came straight to the point of thunder: "Your Majesty, I have a good plan to save Jin. It's not even a dream to restore Jin to its former glory."
At this time, the Emperor of Jin was the one who fell into the water. He was already in despair, but he didn't expect to suddenly see... a big ship! Li Yuanming was big enough to be the life-saving ship.
Immediately, the Emperor of Jin stopped putting on airs and actually walked down the jade steps, came to Li Yuanming, and bowed: "Please speak clearly, sir."
Li Yuanming was also very interesting at this time. He did not return the greeting or show any fear, but sat down - the Emperor of Jin was still standing and bowing.
Li Yuanming was quite proud: "It's very simple, two sentences, eight words: transfer the crisis, and be determined to reform!"
Seeing Li Yuanming so arrogant and confident, the Jin emperor became even more sincere, "Please give me your instructions, sir."
"The so-called crisis transfer is to transfer the debt crisis of Jin to Sima Kingdom. First of all, Sima Kingdom has become a foregone conclusion, and Sima Xuan's self-proclaimed King of Jin is unchangeable. Secondly, Sima Xuan also has concerns, and more than one concern, each of which is a serious concern. Sima Kingdom is independent and cannot be changed; but it lacks morality! A country lacks anything, but it cannot lack morality, which is something that shakes the foundation of the country. Sima Xuan used the army of Jin to conquer, but took the fruits of his labor alone, which is a huge political stain. If this stain is not washed away, the Sima Kingdom will sooner or later fall apart. This is Sima Xuan's biggest concern, so Sima Xuan only dares to call himself the King of Jin, and nominally respects Your Majesty. Since things have come to this, why don't Your Majesty go with the flow and issue an edict to formally confer the title of King of Sima Kingdom and Sima Xuan as King of Jin. As a price, Sima Xuan and Sima Kingdom need to take over the debts of Jin, etc. In addition, Your Majesty formally issued an edict to allow Sima Xuan and the families of the expeditionary army to migrate freely; and promised that even if they do not migrate, they will not be held accountable for the past. "
At this point, Li Yuanming paused for a moment, giving the Jin emperor some time to react, and then continued, "In fact, from my estimation, if Your Majesty really allows these families to migrate, most people will not migrate unless there is a crisis. People are attached to their land and are nostalgic for the past. The final result of this will inevitably be that a large number of expeditionary forces will return to Jin and serve Your Majesty again. In this way, Your Majesty can also establish a reputation for benevolence and righteousness."
