For Sun Yue, this trip to Wu Yue was like a strange holiday. Although it was not satisfactory, it was barely enough. After all, making friends is much more comfortable than staying in Luoyang to handle official duties.

The holidays are always over. As the preparations of the Song Dynasty became more and more perfect, the time to take action finally came, and this task finally came to Sun Yue. Sun Yue also decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Qian Chu before taking action.

However, before Sun Yue went to find him, Qian Chu took the initiative to find him. The lord of the country came to the palace in person, sitting in the hall and waiting for him.

Sun Yue did not dare to neglect and quickly received the reception according to standard etiquette. However, Qian Chu took him to a small attic on the second floor, waved his hand, signaling all the maids and guards to go out and guard around the attic, and then personally fiddled with the tea sets and said, "Mr. Sun has been in Hangzhou for more than two months. In the past two months, I have taught a good lesson."

Sun Yue hurriedly said: "You are young and sometimes you are reckless in doing things. If you have any offense, please forgive me."

Qian Chu smiled bitterly and said, "There is no offense or not. I have always thought that I am clear. Until you come, I can see many things clearly. It's just a self-deception. Fortunately, I have never thought about fighting for the world and competing for the Central Plains. I will not be able to accept this. Today, I am not at the top of the sky or the bottom of the earth. There are only you and me, some ordinary etiquette and political rhetoric. It's better to avoid it. I know that the country of Wu and Yue will not be too long. I want to talk to Mr. Sun to have a few words in my heart."

Sun Yue bowed seriously and said solemnly: "People often say that those who know the times are heroes, but in the face of power and wealth, how many people can really recognize themselves and the world since ancient times? In my opinion, those who always think about progress are mediocre people. Those who know about progress when they think about progress can be called heroes, and those who are in a high position can be called heroes. Qian Guozhu was a true hero and a true hero at that time."

Qian Chu smiled sadly when he heard this and said, "Heroes who can't protect their ancestors' foundation? Even Li Yu's son would not hesitate to die to protect their country..."

Sun Yue interrupted firmly, "Do not hesitate to die? The word "death is just a closed eye and bite". Since we have received the kindness of the Lord, we should think of repaying our loyalty. Like the king, Li Yu, and the officials of the Song Dynasty, aren't it supported by the heaven and earth? When things are dead, the country's fortune is not destroyed in our own hands. What should we do if the nation is righteous? What if the nation is so righteous?"

"Living is sometimes far more valuable and meaningful than dying. The reunification of the motherland is the great trend of the way of heaven, and no one can stop it. Including my official family, if there is something to do, they should draw their swords and compete for the world. Even if they are defeated, they will not lose their true nature. When future generations talk about it, they will be able to praise a good man.

But if it is impossible to do something, just to fight for the discipline that is less than one ten thousand, why should millions of people in the Southern Tang Dynasty accompany them to die? Have you ever considered a little bit for those people who support him in the hearts of such people?"

"What's more, if Li Yu really wants to die, I would respect him too. But isn't he living well now?"

As he spoke, he became more and more excited, Sun Yue couldn't help but pat on the table.

Qian Chu was also shocked by Sun Yue.

The education they received has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and the emperor or the king of the country seemed to have no obligation to anyone. However, today, Sun Yue's words may be a deviant person, but the more he listened, the more he made the more reasonable it became.

Since you eat the king's fortune, so when you are loyal to the king, where does your money and food come from? The people actually have no obligation to be loyal to the king. On the contrary, the king should be loyal to the people.

"Master Qian, please ask yourself, with the national strength of Wu and Yue, can you really stop the unification of the Song Dynasty? Sun asked himself that he could use troops. In the current situation, I think that even if Emperor Taizong of Tang was resurrected, it would be only a year or two more. It is meaningless to the Qian family. For the people of Wu and Yue and even the people of the world, it would be a disaster for a year or two. I know that you are a benevolent master. Since the late Tang Dynasty, the people of Wu and Yue have supported you for more than 80 years. Do you have the heart to let them experience the pain of war again?"

"Master Qian, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, even from the front and rear Zhou dynasties, you have always been our most determined ally. If we were the same dynasty as an official in the future, no matter what the real power, your status would be lower than one person and more than ten thousand people. The descendants dare not say how great the future can be. But as long as the Song Dynasty is still there, the wealth of the Qian family will be guaranteed. I think you should be very clear about the name of benevolence in our official family. You must not be confused at critical moments after decades of foundation."

After saying that, Sun Yue secretly praised his mouth, which was obviously promoted, and looked at Qian Chu with some anxiety, waiting for his reply.

But when Qian Chu suddenly smiled on his face, he let out a gentle breath, and then said, "Actually, I have never shaken my thoughts, but I feel much better after hearing what you said today."

When Sun Yue heard this, he was overjoyed and stood up and said, "I will use tea instead of wine, and I will toast the king with a cup."

Who would have thought Qian Chu reached out to signal him to sit down and smiled and said, "Don't be busy for now. Even if you surrender, you can't make it clear in just a few words. I have a reluctant request, and I hope Mr. Sun can agree."

"Although the king said that, if I ask for something, I will do my best to convince my officials and families that only for the people of the two countries who are descendants of Yan and Huang, they can avoid being damaged."

Qian Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. In fact, there is no need to ask the officials. If your Sun family and his son are willing to agree, they will be nine points."

"We father and son?"

"After I surrender, I won't be alone. This Marshal of the Army... Haha, Grand Marshal Sun is also a man who fought in the south and the north. With these five words in plain sight, if you really live in the same room with a powerful general like you, it would be a pity. I just want to be granted a title at will, not even a duke, just a marquis, and give a few fiefs and a few acres of thin land to allow future generations to live in a relatively stable life. I won't go to the court. I don't want to go to Kaifeng. If possible, I want to live in Luoyang for a temporary residence. Can you agree?"

Sun Yue hurriedly said, "This is natural."

"It's not over yet. My Qian family has been operating in Jiangnan for nearly a hundred years. It's not an exaggeration. If there is something wrong here in the future, it's hard to guarantee that there will be no danger. So if possible, I want to have a backer. The Sun family is the richest man in the Song Dynasty and has a business all over the world. Tea, mines, mulberry, and paint in Wuyue are all popular goods in the market. To be honest, at least half of them are the property of my Qian family. Is the Sun family interested in cooperation? My Qian family is willing to give 40% of the shares to the Sun family, and at the same time, we can also get a hand in the Sun family's industry in Luoyang. How about it?"

"The Qian family wants to do business with the Sun family? My father always takes charge of the business at home, but I think it's okay. I can agree to it for my father first."

"I heard that the Sun family is happy to add a daughter?"

"Uh... I have an extra sister."

"A coincidence, I also had a grandson last year."
