Chapter 698 - 549 Outsmaneuver to Win; Combine with Orthodoxy+ - 550 Pie in the Sky_4
This is the order for the Tang Family to cede control of Jinhe County to the Ping’an Army.
The following statement, "If the ancestors of the Tang Family ever find out, they would regard him as an irreconcilable enemy," clarifies the matter.
Submission is not something that can be decided on a whim by just a few people.
It must take place on the ancestral lands of the Tang Family, in front of the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall, where the whole family must report clearly and swear allegiance under Zhou Ping’an’s command.
With the ancestors as witnesses, the Clan Leader and the Elders acknowledge it, and the younger family members follow suit, there will be no fear of anyone reneging in the future.
After all, would the Tang Family ancestors led by Tang Dongliu witness something only to have it directly overturned later? That would be no different than children playing house, would it?
Even if later generations dare to defy their ancestors’ teachings and directly overturn the decision of the day, wouldn’t they fear shattering their "Literary Heart," damaging their "Literary Courage," and suffering a great fall in their cultivation?
’This move is extremely ruthless.’
Victory through surprise, unity through righteousness, the power of one person is equivalent to a million troops.
Looking at Zhou Ping’an, Tang Shimin was almost at a loss for words.
His thoughts of maneuvering in all directions have been completely blocked.
