Zhao Jiliang frowned, a little confused: "Your Highness, this kind of thing still needs to be discussed?"
Meng Xuanzhe said angrily: "Of course we need to discuss it! Don't we need to discuss it?"
Zhao Jiliang also lost his temper and retorted: "The Song Dynasty has already arrived at the city. What else is there to discuss? What to discuss? Does His Highness also want to surrender?"
Meng Xuanzhe suddenly became furious: "What's your attitude? Is it your surname Zhao who has the final say in the Shu Kingdom, or our surname Meng?"
The prince became angry and everyone was shocked!
"..."
Zhao Jiliang was stunned on the spot and did not dare to say a word!
Especially the prince emphasized the word "surnamed Zhao"!
Zhao Jiliang's thoughts were spinning, and he narrowed his eyes slightly! What do you mean? Zhao Kuangyin's surname is Zhao, and I am also surnamed Zhao. You are trying to force me to have a relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. What is your intention? You, the prince, are too vicious, aren't you?
Zhao Jiliang stared at Meng Xuanzhe, a young man who had watched him grow up since childhood, and his eyes were in a trance!
In a blink of an eye, the boy who smiled when he saw him had disappeared, and now he had turned into a majestic and arrogant tall young man!
The once bright and innocent smile is now gone, replaced by a serious and dignified face!
Those eyes no longer have any warmth, and they are looking at me coldly!
Zhao Jiliang suddenly felt a chill on his back for no reason! A chill spread from his back and hit his whole body!
He is cold.
Others are also cold.
Everyone felt the murderous aura emanating from Meng Xuanzhe!
The atmosphere in the entire hall instantly dropped to freezing point!
Meng Chang suddenly broke the silence and sighed: "Okay! You are all my ministers and pillars of the country. What is there to quarrel between you?"
No one dared to express an opinion anymore, everyone looked at Meng Xuanzhe!
This current monarch, the future emperor of Shu, suddenly showed his fangs just now, showing his domineering side, which made the ministers suddenly become silent!
Everyone felt scared and uneasy!
Emperor Shu was open to all rivers, and he didn't learn the tolerant and generous side at all. Emperor Shu was ruthless and ruthless, but he learned it perfectly! He was simply better than his master!
Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, Meng Xuanzhe felt quite proud, and thought to himself: Everyone is relying on their father's favor to rely on their old age. I don't know how many times I have eaten. If I don't show my power, I will treat me like a sick cat! Now!
They are all so honest, huh, all of them are just cheap. If you don't give him some color, he won't know his surname! He bowed and said: "Father, the Song army has arrived at the city. It's time to fight or to surrender. My dear minister.
I think everyone can express their opinions!"
Meng Chang said with a smile: "Yes, we are facing a powerful enemy. It is a critical moment of life and death. Whether it is fighting or surrendering, we cannot mess up our position and deal with it randomly! We must coordinate the overall situation and maximize our interests! Fight to the end, what are our chances of winning?
If we lose, will we all live or die? If we surrender, what is the best we can gain and what is the worst we can lose? You can express your opinions on these!"
The emperor opened his mouth to break the embarrassment, the atmosphere eased, and everyone's hearts calmed down!
Meng Chang pointed at Li Hao, "Li Xiang, you speak first!"
Li Hao immediately said: "Your Majesty, those who know the current affairs are heroes! Now the Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and its strength is at its peak. On the other hand, our army in Shu is insufficient and our defense is empty. We cannot stop the Song Dynasty's offensive at all. If we fight them head-on,
Fighting hard, not only cannot the city be defended, but a large number of precious lives of our Shu men will be sacrificed. People and land will be lost. This is really an unwise move! If Kaicheng surrenders, we can propose peace conditions to the Song Dynasty, such as being granted the title of King of Shu.
The title is hereditary and will forever rule Sichuan and Shu. In this way, we are nothing more than respecting the Song Emperor as the common master of the world, but in fact there is no loss at all, so why not do it? "
Zhao Jiliang snorted coldly: "Zhao Kuangyin has always been ambitious and power-hungry. Ever since he became the commander of the Great Zhou Palace, he has monopolized power and acted arbitrarily. Now that he has sat on the supreme throne of the Central Plains Dynasty, how can he agree to our continued
A corner of peace? Haven't you ever heard the saying that there is no room for others to sleep soundly in the bed? Will he allow us to continue to live in this world? Isn't he afraid that we, like the descendants of the Six Kingdoms in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, will reignite the war, and in turn,
Destroy them?"
Li Hao said: "You are thinking too much! Once they accept our surrender, they will definitely take the Holy Emperor to the capital of the Song Dynasty and arrange it under the eyes of the Song Emperor to monitor every move of the Holy Emperor at all times!"
Zhao Jiliang said: "After all, you are talking nonsense! Since your Majesty has been escorted to the capital of Song Dynasty and monitored every day, how can your Majesty accept this kind of humiliation? Right, Your Majesty?"
Meng Chang gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and cursed in his heart: This fool, why didn't I realize that he was so righteous? He forced a smile and said: "The so-called surveillance is just to see which ministers come to visit.
Yes, I usually chat with someone, and my daily life is quite free, and it’s not as complicated as I thought!”
Zhao Jiping looked at Emperor Shu, seeming a little strange.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you for your courage. What do you mean, do you want to fight or surrender?"
"I asked you to express your opinion first, why did you ask me first?"
"Your Majesty, although I am old, I am not confused! If you insist on surrendering, then surrender in Kaicheng as you said! Maximize your interests! Give up your position as the leader of the country, be willing to be the king of Chengdu, and strive for hereditary replacement! Of course,
Zhao Kuangyin may ask you to move to Songjing for easy surveillance, but the Holy Emperor can bargain with Zhao Kuangyin and hand over the military power in Shuchuan, but retain certain tax collection rights. In this way, the Zhao family will support the army, and they will come if something goes wrong.
Solve it, we can make a lot of money, this is what I think!"
Meng Chang smiled and said: "That's right, this is the attitude to solve problems!"
He smiled and said: "Who else agrees with Kaesong's surrender?
Many ministers responded loudly: "I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Whoever cannot see the inner thoughts of the emperor and his son is a fool!
In fact, most people have long wanted to surrender!
But no one dares to be the first to speak!
The enemy comes to the city and surrenders without even resisting. If the emperor is a war party, then whoever calls for surrender will die first! Just like now, the emperor is a surrender party. It would be inappropriate for anyone to talk about fighting to the death!
At this time, no one raised any objection, and Meng Xuanzhe felt unsure!
These fence-sitters will fall with the wind! They will follow whoever is tough and have no independent opinion at all!
He looked at everyone and felt that they had basically unified their thoughts. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly heard a young man say: "Wei Chen has different opinions!"
Meng Xuanzhe looked unhappy: "Let's talk and listen!"
That young man turned out to be the prince-in-law of the dynasty, the new champion Zhuge Lin!
Zhuge Lin said: "Although the Song army has amazing combat power, they will have to spend a lot of money to attack a far distance. If they attack by force at this time, they will only suffer greater losses!"
Meng Xuanzhe said: "They have siege weapons, three-bow crossbows, artillery, trebuchets, ballistas, and siege hammers. We are all flesh and blood, and we cannot stop the attacks of these extremely powerful weapons. That
The three-bow bed crossbow was a top-secret weapon of the Song Dynasty. It is said that the Khitan Dynasty wanted to secretly make the blueprints, but the spies were caught on the spot. It turned out that their identities had been exposed long ago! From the knowledge of these people, who knew how to make the three-bow bed crossbow intentionally or unintentionally
When the crossbow veterans approached, they were already being targeted! How can a big country with such a powerful weapon allow the enemy to steal its core secrets?"
Zhuge Qi said: "Your Highness, everything is possible in this world! No matter how powerful their crossbows are, what can they do? When they shoot, we hide, when they attack, we retreat, when they chase us, we run, when they rest, we attack, they
The troops are working hard to attack far away, but we are waiting for the hard work. We will not necessarily lose in the guerrilla war!"
Song Dynasty Military Camp.
Within the handsome tent.
The King of Jin said: "Deputy Ambassador, do you have any good ideas?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I want to do this. Let our Imperial City Secret Agents in Chengdu City spread some news, saying that the Song Army has reinforced another 100,000 troops, and then General Wang will send someone to shoot a letter of persuasion to surrender at the top of the city.
No need to say more, just one sentence, those who surrender will not die!"
