Chapter 27(1/2)
"Zhao Zheng, it's fine that you don't understand government affairs, but you can't talk nonsense."
"If you just casually say fight to the death, I don't know how many soldiers and civilians will die!"
"As a prince, how can you not care about the lives of the people so much?"
Seeing that Zhao Zheng was silent, Zhao Song started chattering more and more.
Speak sincerely and speak with sincerity.
The words revealed a sense of reprimand, condescension!
Seeing this, Tang Ji nodded slightly, his eyes showing appreciation.
The courtiers behind him also smiled, and it was clear at a glance which of the two princes in the court was better!
Sitting on the golden throne, Zhao Minghui's face was expressionless, his eyes switching back and forth between his two sons, making it difficult to guess what was going on in his heart.
"So, you mean to ask for peace?"
Zhao Zheng, however, was neither impatient nor impatient. He asked with interest and a smile appeared on his lips.
"nature!"
Zhao Song raised his chin, proudly.
Give Zhao Song a pole, Zhao Song really dares to climb up!
Zhao Zheng shook his head, suddenly suppressed his smile, and stared at Zhao Song.
"If we don't fight and just cede territory and pay indemnity to sue South Vietnam for peace, do you think South Vietnam will just give up?"
"Since you know South Vietnam's wolf ambitions, you should know that they are hungry wolves who cannot feed themselves!"
"If I, Dasheng, give up the city and South Vietnam comes again, the people will still be in trouble!"
"Have you ever thought about these?"
Zhao Zheng's voice suddenly rose, and Zhao Song's heart stopped when he heard it.
He really hadn't thought about this issue just now.
My mind changed rapidly and I was about to answer.
But Zhao Zheng no longer paid attention to Zhao Song, and turned to face the civil and military officials in the court.
"South Vietnam has always relied on the strength of its troops and horses, and has been arrogant and unreasonable to the surrounding countries. If I retreat from great prosperity, all countries will see it. Not to mention that South Vietnam will make further progress in the future, and the surrounding countries will not take our country seriously.
Here, the wall must have fallen and everyone pushed it down."
"As the saying goes, if you pull one hair, the whole body will be affected."
"If we sue for peace, the South Vietnamese rebels will still invade. Today we will cut off five cities, and tomorrow we will cut off ten cities. Will they not cut off our country in the future?!"
"That's unreasonable!"
"On the contrary, we want South Vietnam to laugh at our cowardice and give up our mountains and rivers and our homeland!"
"If we start a war, we will gain a chance of survival!"
Zhao Zheng took in the reactions of the civil and military officials and glanced at Tang Ji and Zhou Biao, not hiding his disdain at all!
"What His Highness said is not unreasonable..."
At this time, Tang Ji stroked his beard and responded with a smile.
Seeing this, all the ministers were startled. Could it be that Duke Zhen was persuaded by His Highness?
But then, Tang Ji's words rang out again.
"But over the years, our dynasty has been prosperous in culture and military in decline. We are actually weak. How can we defeat Chu?"
"Be bold!"
As soon as Tang Ji finished speaking, Zhao Zheng's angry scolding suddenly sounded.
He pointed directly at Tang Ji, as if he was furious!
"Isn't the Duke of Zheng trying to shake people's hearts? Destroy our country's prestige and defeat our country's destiny?"
"Um?"
Tang Ji was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, and he was a little stunned.
Zhao Zheng dared to rebuke him?
But what Zhao Zheng said caused him to be charged a lot!
Seeing the looks from Chu Wenqing, Qin Mu and other old foxes, Tang Ji had no choice but to retort.
"I have no intention of doing this. I am just discussing the matter. My loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth."
"Can slandering our dynasty be called loyalty?"
Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled sarcastically.
"Speaking out words to show weakness before the war has started is a crime that shakes the morale of the army. If you are placed in the army, you will be killed according to law!"
After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, the conversation changed again.
"But since this is the imperial court, the Duke of Zhen Guo's thoughts are more important than those of all the other princes in the imperial court..."
Without waiting for Tang Ji to say anything, Zhao Zheng continued to look around.
"Therefore, I, Da Sheng, must fight to the death with South Vietnam without any retreat!"
"Besides, who says we can't defeat South Vietnam?"
While speaking, Zhao Zheng raised his arm and clenched his fist vigorously.
"One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand soldiers!"
"How can we give up the foundation of mountains and rivers created by our ancestors?"
"I am so prosperous, how can I not have a son?"
"If the South Vietnamese thieves dare to commit crimes, they will be killed until they throw away their armor!"
"In a word, anyone who offends our prosperity will be punished no matter how far away!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng's mind was also touched.
His expression was excited and his voice was high for a moment.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials in the hall had already opened their eyes wide in shock.
No one expected that Zhao Zheng could actually say these words.
It makes them deafened and excited, and their hearts are surging, which will be difficult to calm down for a long time.
Zhao Song opened his mouth slightly and wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he could only swallow them alive!
Because, he couldn't find anything to refute Zhao Zheng.
Even Tang Ji was stunned for a moment, feeling strange in his heart.
Could this Zhao Zheng really have changed his gender?
"Okay, okay, great! One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people, one hundred thousand troops!"
Qin Mu clenched his fists, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.
"As His Highness said, I will expand my territory and you won't give in even an inch!"
"If the South Vietnamese rebels dare to invade, we will fight to the death!"
"I am so prosperous, how can I not have a son?"
Speaking of this, the old general sighed with emotion and burst into tears.
As the Duke of An Guo, Qin Mu has been in charge of Dasheng's troops and guarded the border for more than thirty years. He naturally knows that this battle must be fought and cannot be peaceful!
Zhao Zheng's words spoke to his heart.
At this time, Chu Wenqing also stepped forward with a firm tone.
"I agree with the words of His Highness, our mountains and rivers are our homeland, and we cannot give in even one step!"
"If the enemy barbarians dare to covet us, we will fight to the death!"
"I agree with His Highness's words!"
Soon, five or six ministers came forward and agreed with Zhao Zheng!
Seeing this situation, Tang Ji and Zhou Biao looked solemn and frowned.
The eyes looking at Zhao Zheng became more and more deep and cold.
They never expected that Zhao Zheng, who had always been cowardly and incompetent, could say such remarks!
To say it is shocking is an understatement.
Sitting on the golden seat, Zhao Minghui stared deeply at Zhao Zheng. At this moment, his heart could not be calm for a long time.
He glanced at the civil and military officials in the main hall and spoke leisurely.
