The atmosphere in today's court meeting was very strange. Originally, the surrender faction had the upper hand, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces also wanted to surrender. At this time, Li Quancheng interfered. Everyone found that the queen mother's mind seemed to be beginning to waver. For a while, the main war faction, civil and military,
He was so happy that Li Quancheng couldn't help but curse, were these guys' heads caught in the door? They were so happy to rush to die. I wonder what these guys grew up on.
At this time, another voice came from inside the curtain, saying: "Li Aiqing, keep talking!"
Li Quancheng was stunned. This voice sounded so familiar...it was Yang Yue'er!
"This girl is obviously just a concubine. How did she become the Queen Mother?"
Li Quancheng frowned slightly, but didn't think much about it and continued: "This was the case in the past when dynasties changed, let alone now!"
"Everyone must not forget that in the past, it was the replacement of the Han people, but this time it was the invasion of foreigners. To put it more treasonously, the current situation is no longer a matter of one royal family, but a matter of the survival of a thousand-year nation.
, the royal family is nothing in front of our Chinese nation!"
Li Quancheng's words were even more rebellious than before, but none of the courtiers dared to step forward. They had already beaten Li Quancheng, and no one would be stupid enough to step on Li Quancheng's trap at this time.
"That makes sense!"
After a long time, the Queen Mother finally spoke and said: "Looking at the world, there are very few people with Li Aiqing's vision!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. Throughout all dynasties, there are too few queen mothers with such a mind as your Majesty!"
Li Quancheng flattered her at the right time, and the effect was felt immediately, because the Queen Mother's voice was much gentler, but this time Li Quancheng judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. Historically, the Queen Mother Xie did indeed
She is a broad-minded Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Xie's maiden name was Xie Daoqing. Her grandfather Xie Shenfu had been a prime minister and had contributed to the establishment of Empress Dowager Yang, the empress of Ningzong of the Song Dynasty. After Lizong came to the throne, they discussed the matter of selecting a queen. Empress Dowager Yang ordered that the daughters of the Xie family must be selected, so Xie Daoqing entered the palace like this.
Empress Dowager Xie was open-minded and took the overall situation into consideration. She was in charge for 50 years and has always been harmonious and stable. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty had a relatively long period of stability, and Empress Dowager Xie was really indispensable.
Empress Dowager Xie smiled and said: "Li Aiqing continued to say that if we can't surrender, why can't we fight to the death?"
"My dear, these righteous and unyielding men have all died in battle. If we leave cowardly traitors like Jia Sidao alive in the world, what's the difference between surrendering in the end?"
"Puchchi——"
A chuckle came from inside the curtain, and Li Quancheng immediately recognized that it was Yang Yue'er's laughter. In his mind, the image of Yang Yue'er covering her lips with her beautiful hands and smiling sweetly appeared in his mind. He felt that the stool under his buttocks was getting softer and softer.
Now, Li Quancheng's body softened, but Jia Sidao's body hardened. His old face turned red, and there was a pop of blood. The Daqing Palace suddenly became chaotic. Li Quancheng was stunned at first, and then he was startled. He secretly thought that this old guy is not good.
He was about to escape from illness, so he quickly shouted: "Empress, please quickly ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at the fake prime minister. Don't let him pretend to be sick and escape!"
When Jia Sidao heard this, he rolled his eyes angrily and fainted. After the treatment of the imperial doctor, Jia Sidao slowly woke up. What is worth savoring is that the Queen Mother really did not let Jia Sidao go back to rest, but asked someone to
A soft couch was brought over for Jia Sidao to lie down on. Jia Sidao's heart sank more and more, secretly thinking that this time he was really in a trap.
After such an episode, the main fighting faction became very powerful. Naturally, everyone held their heads high, as if they were wearing bright red scarves on their chests. Li Quancheng did not wait for the Queen Mother to speak, and said: "Fighting to the death is not advisable, as the saying goes.
The future of our Song Dynasty and the future of our nation still need to be supported by these talented, courageous, and honest adults and generals.”….
"To die in battle and gain fame both before and after life seems to Wei Chen to be a selfish approach. Wei Chen has always believed that those who are not afraid of death are not heroes. Nothing will happen if they are struck with a knife. Real heroes endure humiliation and bear the burden and live in an ignoble way.
, but have never given up resistance, those people may be scolded by the world and history books, but in the eyes of Weichen, they are the real heroes!"
"And living heroes can contribute more to our country, our nation, and our future than dead heroes!"
Having said this, Li Quancheng stood up, turned to the right, bowed deeply to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs standing on the right, and said sincerely: "So I sincerely ask all of you, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, and for the sake of our Chinese nation, do not fight to the death.
, let’s leave it to future generations to comment on its merits and demerits!”
Li Quancheng's great gift made everyone moved. The civil and military ministers behind Lu Xiufu all returned the gift at the same time, but those on the left were embarrassed and wanted to dig a hole to get in. Their faces were full of shame. Some people
Immediately, he quietly stood on the right side. For a while, the number of people on the right side increased instantly, while the Yan Jiang faction on the left side seemed sparse.
This is intentional, obviously intentional, but no one can say anything. He can trick people to the extent of Li Quancheng, and he really hasn't insulted the name given by the emperor as "all cheating"!
"Master Li, please come up quickly, you are just trying to defeat the pedantic people like us!"
Yang Liangjie came out immediately, cooperated with Li Quancheng's acting, and winked at Li Quancheng. Li Quancheng didn't show any pretense and straightened his body. Who would be willing to bend down when nothing happens? After all, I am still a boy and my waist is not strong enough!
Li Quancheng was secretly proud, turned to the young emperor and the two empress dowagers and said, "Now I will talk about the living battle!"
"The Mongolian cavalry is famous all over the world and is invincible. In addition, they have countless siege weapons. From the day they raised their troops and marched south, their momentum was overwhelming. The soldiers died on the battlefield without retreating. This was a fight to the death!"
"However, the Mongols are powerful and have many soldiers and horses, while our Song Dynasty has been extremely weak for a long time. If we fight with them head-on, we will kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. However, the Mongols can fight hard, but we, the Song Dynasty, cannot.
From now on, it is possible for us, the Song Dynasty, to fight to the last soldier, or even be annihilated. But the Mongols can rest in peace and recuperate, and can regain their national strength in less than ten years. I dare to ask the Queen Mother, what is the impact of our death in battle?
For soldiers, is it worth it or not?"
The Queen Mother was speechless and the ministers were speechless, but the little emperor spoke and said crisply: "Of course it's not worth it. If the Song Dynasty can recuperate and recuperate, it can restore its national strength in ten years. Who will win between us and the Mongolian Tatars is still unclear!"
Li Quancheng flattered him again and praised loudly: "Your Majesty is wise. Having a wise leader like you in our Song Dynasty is a blessing to the nation, a blessing to the country, and a blessing to the people!"
Emperor Gong of Song Dynasty smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, revealing a few missing teeth, and said: "I want to reward Master Li——"
At this time, the Queen Mother coughed again, stopped Emperor Gong of the Song Dynasty from talking, and said, "I wonder if Li Aiqing has any good ideas to help me, the Song Dynasty, rest and recuperate for ten years?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Mongols dominate the land, and we, the Song Dynasty, can dominate the sea. Mongolian cavalry are all over the world, and our warships, the Song Dynasty, will be all over the sea!"
Li Quancheng started his propaganda of retreating to Ryukyu again, drawing a beautiful blueprint for the civil and military officials and the two empress dowagers, saying: "What we are doing now is to use our shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. The Mongols are not good at water warfare, so we must
Taking advantage of this and using our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses is the best strategy!"
"So what we rely on is the boundless sea opposite Lin'an City. What we rely on is the Ryukyu Islands opposite Yashan. There, our Song Dynasty can rise in the ocean and let our Song Dynasty dominate the ocean!"
Jia Sidao couldn't stand listening anymore, and the ninja's chest hurt, and he cursed: "Are you just saying that our great rivers and mountains in the Song Dynasty were given to the Mongols in vain!"...
When Li Quancheng heard this, he was very happy. It should be Lu Xiufu who said this. Aren't you just looking for scolding?
He couldn't help but sneered: "Fake Prime Minister, if Prime Minister Lu said this, I, Li Quancheng, would kneel down in front of him and explain to him. But if you tell me, I really want to step on your old face and scold you."
Eighteen generations of ancestors!”
"you--"
"But I bought new shoes today. I will definitely not step on your face. It would be a pity to dirty the shoes. At the same time, you are a bastard, but your ancestors were a bit innocent for the eighteenth generation. It is still not good to punish them.
of!"
Li Quancheng was so angry that he didn't pay for it with his life. The little emperor also came out to cause trouble at the right time and said: "Brother Quancheng, if you step on it, I will give you a hundred pairs of new shoes!"
All the civil and military officials, including the people on Jia Sidao's side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Behind the curtain, the Empress Dowager coughed three times in a row, feeling that she had lost her breath from laughter. Jia Sidao really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
Jia Sidao suddenly saw Li Quancheng lifting his feet. There was a loud bang in Jia Sidao's head. His vision went dark and he fainted from fright. This time, no one saw him but Li Quancheng. Naturally, Li Quancheng didn't.
If you are so kind, please invite the imperial doctor to come, and make him faint, so that I can take the opportunity to bury you, this cheat!
"Hmph, you are the biggest surrender faction in our Song Dynasty, and you still have the nerve to talk to me? By surrendering, not only did you sell the Zhao royal family, civil and military officials to the Mongols, but you also handed over the world of our Song Dynasty to the Mongols.
People, both have become the stepping stones for your advancement. In terms of behavior, you actively surrender, but I use retreat to advance. In terms of heart, your Jia Sidao has a heart that can be punished, while I, Li Quancheng, have a heart that is like the sun and the moon.
Learn from it!"
It was the sun and the moon again. Yang Yue'er inside the curtain turned red and showed a strange look. She thanked the Empress Dowager and Queen Mother Quan lowered her head and said something. Then she turned to Yang Yue'er and asked softly: "What do you think, Concubine Shu?"
Concubine Yang Shu looked calm and said softly: "What Li Quancheng said is true. Although this man is not a qualified minister and does not have much respect for the royal family, he is a qualified and good official who cares for the world and the nation. As for whether the queen mother wants to be a good minister or a good official."
A good official, my concubines dare not exceed their authority!"
Empress Dowager Xie smiled slightly and said: "Nowadays, there is nothing more than power. Li Quancheng is right. In the face of the righteousness of the nation, what does the gain and loss of personal or family honor and disgrace count? Compared with retreating to Ryukyu and surrendering, I believe that we
After Gong's death, he has the face to face the ancestors of the Zhao family!"
"It's just that Li Quancheng needs to be observed for some time before making a decision. We can't listen to his one-sided words. After the court meeting, I will summon the officials from various ministries and ask for their opinions. However, Li Quancheng deserves the credit for his work. What do you think?"
"The Queen Mother is wise!" Queen Mother Quan and Concubine Yang Shu bowed slightly to respond at the same time. Queen Mother Xie said loudly with a solemn look on her face: "Li Quancheng accepts the title!"
