Chapter 2019: Dilemma, Timing (Subscription Request)
But there is a saying that knowing is easy but doing is difficult. It is simple to know this truth, but it is not simple to do it.
Take what Lei Chongmao said, and propose peace talks with Meng Zhao, or even surrender.
Let alone whether it is too flattering and puts oneself in a very low position, it is difficult to succeed under the pressure of the outside world.
If the Lei family really does this, what will Beitang Shu think, and what will the Beitang royal family think?
There is also internal pressure. Can the Lei family accept it?
Take the matter of the secret realm of the cave this time, which has caused a lot of turmoil, and even caused a rift between father and son. It is conceivable that if Lei Wanche surrenders to Meng Zhao and submits to the feet of the old rival Meng family from now on, how much shock it will cause.
Of course, Meng Zhao should be very happy to accept them.
The Lei family and the Meng family are the two major families in Jizhou, leading by a huge margin. If one side admits defeat and surrenders to the other, it will easily give birth to a large family sitting in one of the ancient nine states, which is much more terrifying than the general nine surnames family.
Meng Zhao and the Meng family probably woke up with a smile in their dreams, as they could take down the Lei family without bloodshed, greatly avoiding losses on both sides and concentrating superior resources to achieve more, better and stronger.
Of course, in contrast, the Lei family would completely dislike the Beitang royal family, and perhaps become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Beitang royal family, and be targeted and eliminated with a higher priority than the Meng family.
After all, Meng Zhao at least has a Meng Zhao, what does the Lei family have?
"I have thought about what you said, and from the perspective of Meng Zhao's character, I also agree with your statement. He will accept the Lei family, and you and me, because compared with the huge power and foundation of the Lei family, our assassination of him is really insignificant.
Meng Zhao is not a person who is easily impulsive, so he will definitely make the most favorable choice for himself."
For the existence of Meng Zhao, the Lei family was actually in a state of panic for quite a long time, fearing that Meng Zhao would come to avenge the assassination.
But Meng Zhao has been sitting still, and the Lei family knows that this Bei Meng Dragon King is not a person who acts on impulse and must get back at his own expense after being wronged.
"But, if we do this, we will definitely not be able to bear the pressure brought by the royal family, and Meng Zhao will definitely not break with the royal family in advance because of our surrender, do you understand?"
Lei Chongmao was thoughtful, but Lei Wanche did not reject the possibility of this idea, but was just telling some inconveniences of the Lei family.
If they did it, there would be a possibility of success, and it might be great, but the consequences would be unbearable for them.
Even if they surrendered to Meng Zhao and solved the hidden danger of facing this god-like man, they would soon face the catastrophe of the Beitang royal family.
So in comparison, Lei Wanche chose to go one step further and surrender to the royal family in exchange for the opportunity to be protected by the royal family.
This is the sadness of the weak, who can only be swept away by the times, rise and fall in the waves, but have no possibility of dominating their own destiny.
But this is a question of timing.
Meng Zhao represents the hidden dangers of the future.
The Beitang royal family represents the current threat.
In order to survive, they have to choose the Beitang royal family, but if they want to survive in the long run, they will have to reach that step sooner or later.
"So, father, you mean, the timing is wrong?"
"Zhongmao, remember, when Meng Zhao and the Meng family no longer avoid fighting with the Beitang royal family, and even fight with them openly, it means that the time has come, and then we can choose the next step."
"But before that, you must not, must not, have any relationship with the Meng family."
This is Lei Wanche's wisdom.
Originally, he would not have such distress, but who made him born in such an era and meet someone like Meng Zhao?
"I don't know when that day will be, and I don't know if there will be any accidents during this period.
So, I want to warn you that if you are not sure, before Meng Zhao has made a promise, you can't just dive in and leave no way out.
Moreover, if you really want to surrender to Meng Zhao and surrender to the Meng family, you must complete an indispensable process."
Lei Wanche didn't finish his words, but looked at Lei Chongmao, obviously to test the heir of the Lei family.
Lei Chongmao was a little puzzled. What process is needed for this? And it is indispensable?
Then, he realized that this was the point that Lei Wanche mentioned before, which made him very disgusted.
"Father, you mean, marriage?"
His thoughts turned quickly. Meng Zhao's promise was actually not reliable. Only practical things and practical relationships can guarantee the relationship between each other.
Marriage is undoubtedly a very important process.
Moreover, he also realized that this marriage must be for Meng Zhao to marry the legitimate daughter of their Lei family, and even have children in the future, so as to truly turn over all the ups and downs in the past.
Only in this way can the Lei family be truly entrusted to Meng Zhao and fight for the next future under him.
Otherwise, the superiors maintain an absolute advantage over the inferiors, and can easily kill the Lei family without any temper.
Such an approach is of course a shame in Lei Chongmao's view.
The Lei family is a century-old marquis aristocratic family that once shared the same status with the Meng family. Now it has to rely on selling daughters for glory to get guarantees.
He was so humble that he was reduced to dust.
In an instant, he was furious and his temples were throbbing.
But Lei Wanche's next words made all his anger disappear.
"Yes, even if you are married or remarried, don't feel ashamed. This is life, this is reality, helplessness and unwillingness are normal.
Think about it, if there is no marriage, even if our Lei family surrenders in exchange for the forgiveness of Meng Zhao, who is a master of martial arts, how credible will the other party's words be?
Well, even if he is really a sincere gentleman and is really willing to keep his promise, you must not forget that Meng Zhao is not alone. He still has different people working under him.
I, the Lei family, do not have the identity of a relative, and I joined them as a member of the assassination of Meng Zhao. It is inevitable that I will be excluded. In the future, no matter how hard I work, the decline of the Lei family is certain.
However, it is very different if we become related by marriage and my daughter of the Lei family becomes Meng Zhao's harem.
No one will exclude us. We are all on the same starting line. What happens in the future depends on our own methods.
Tell me, is this marriage necessary? "
Lei Chongmao sighed, and his whole body relaxed like a deflated ball.
“Of course, these are possibilities that need to be considered only in the long run.
During this period, what if something happens to Meng Zhao?
Or, what if the Beitang royal family is gone?
In short, to make the best use of the situation, timing is the most important.
And look back, don’t be blinded by what you see in front of you…”
Lei Wanche's earnest teachings can be said to have stretched his patience to the limit.
But for the future of the Lei family, Lei Chongmao must stand up.
This is his destiny.
