TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1162: Chapter 467 Unification of Central State_2 Chapter 1162: Chapter 467 Unification of Central State_2 Though many people understood that the idea was insane, even delusional.

But just the thought of it, that palpitation in their hearts, that impractical notion, would always compel some to unconsciously lean toward Great Chu, to grasp at the faint chance that was almost impossible.

After Great Chu revealed its ambition to unify Central State and establish the Immortal Dynasty.

The hearts and Qi Luck of the entire Nine Provinces began to gather toward Great Chu, toward Lu Yuan, frantically converging upon them either actively or passively.

This was the trend of the great tide.

Under the Heavenly Mandate, vast and mighty.

Those who follow shall prosper, those who resist shall perish.

The wonder of people’s hearts and Qi Luck is nothing more than this.

It was fully demonstrated by Lu Yuan and was in the hands of Great Chu.

…

The conquest of Zheng Kingdom by Great Chu soon showed its influence on the hearts of the world’s people.

On Lu Yuan’s side, after Gao Mingsheng and others, who had just surrendered from Zheng Kingdom, were granted official titles and nobility.

Under the control of Great Chu, this news had just began to spread in the nearby areas.

Over there, Jin Country, still desperately holding onto North Xiang County, was suddenly startled.

The ministers of Jin Country had hardly reacted when the Emperor of Jin Country took the initiative to send a Messenger, rushing to Xianyun County to meet Lu Yuan and discuss the matter of surrendering the country.

Well, Great Chu didn’t even have to say anything, yet the Emperor of Jin Country voluntarily expressed his willingness to surrender.

The reason was quite simple.

The example of Zheng Kingdom was too tragic, and the fate of the Emperor of Zheng Kingdom as well as the entire royal family served as a stark warning to the Emperor and royal family of Jin Country.

That is, as an emperor, you might be reluctant to give up your foundation and want to resist to the death.

But the ministers beneath you may not be willing to die alongside you.

Don’t think about any grand imperial grace, those ministers and nobles who have been fed by Jin Country, to be thankful to you.

Wasn’t the Duke of Qing State, Gao Mingsheng, from Zheng Kingdom given enough grace and honor by Zheng Kingdom?

ονǤօ.ᴄο

The Gao family had been associated with Zheng Kingdom for a thousand years, generation after generation sitting on the position of duke of the three nations, second only to the royal family in terms of nobility.

But when disaster loomed over Zheng Kingdom, what did the Duke of Qing State do?

He simply betrayed the emperor, even going so far as to personally take action, tying up the emperor and surrendering him to the city, and in the end, he even oversaw the beheading of the emperor and the royal family.

In this process, though Gao Mingsheng was cursed by people, in secret and in public, how many scorned his actions?

But he still did it.

For the sake of his own life and fortune, for wealth and glory, he did not hesitate to betray his former master.

Ultimately he successfully got on board, leaving the sinking ship that was Zheng Kingdom.

The bloody example was right before their eyes.

Moreover, within Jin Country, there had long been many ministers in collusion with Great Chu, covertly passing on messages.

All these omens, along with the perfect example, were laid before the people of Jin Country.

If you were the Emperor of Jin Country, what would you think?

Would you continue to trust those ministers below?

And if you didn’t trust, what choice would you make in the end?

Of course, not to trust, and to prioritize one’s own safety first.

Since it’s all about betrayal, instead of being sold by those treacherous ministers, why wouldn’t I, the emperor, personally do the selling?

As the emperor, if I personally offered up a province of Jin Country, surely you, Great Chu, would not be too harsh on me, right?

That’s five thousand miles of land, several millions of people, several hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the remaining eight Inborns.

Such a huge asset, trading it for a chance to live is not too much, right?

You, Great Chu, getting such a great benefit, I don’t even yearn for a duke’s position, at least grant me the title of County Marquis, right?

If the above objectives can be achieved, then the lives and fortunes of the royal family of Jin Country, as well as the glory and wealth after surrendering to Great Chu, will also be assured.

As for whether doing so will be regretted, whether it will feel indignant?

There certainly would be such feelings.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a demotion from emperor to subject, the ruling territory changes from an entire country to a titular nobility without actual power, whether it is wealth or power, it is worlds apart compared to before the surrender.

Anyone in such a position would feel regret and bitterness in their hearts.

But what can be done with these feelings?

The trend of Great Chu unifying the world was becoming increasingly clear.

Everyone could see that the unification of Central State by Great Chu was unstoppable.

Even Jin Country, even if they did not surrender, might not last two or three months.

Maybe not even a single month.

To not cash in one’s last bit of capital before it’s all gone, getting the best price for oneself.

If you really end up with nothing, even if you want to surrender, Great Chu will no longer want you.

The fate of Zheng Kingdom’s royal family would then become the outcome for Jin Country’s royal family.

It was with this realization that the royals of Jin Country, the Heavenly Son of Jin Country, after discussion, still chose the most sensible option.

In the forty-fourth year of Shenwu, on the eighteenth day of the sixth month.

Intimidated by the fall of Zheng Kingdom, the Heavenly Son of Jin Country, together with the clan and the Group of Ministers, decided to surrender to Great Chu.

Afterward, a Messenger was sent to meet with the Chu Emperor to discuss the surrender of the nation.

In the end, facing the offer from the Chu Emperor, granting the Emperor of Jin Country a fief of Ten Thousand Households and the title of County Marquis for his surrender, as well as giving some important influential figures of Jin Country various minor roles, Baron Titles, and some official positions.

Jin Country, realizing it truly did not have more capital to obtain better terms.

Before Great Chu could no longer wait, already sharpening their swords, ready to restart the war, chose to open the city and surrender.

The remaining seven hundred thousand troops of Jin Country, North Xiang County, and the eight Inborn Grandmasters, under the leadership of the Emperor of Jin Country, formally surrendered to Great Chu.
