There was a subtle change in the shape, and the ministers who had just sworn that they would fight to the end were all bowing their heads at this moment, like a chilling cicada. Li Zongzhi stood on top of the main hall with his hands in his hands, glanced at everyone, and suddenly walked down to the messy desk.

"The emperor's ......" The ministers looked at each other with a look at each other, and then bowed down in panic, thinking that the emperor would be furious, but only heard him sigh softly, and then actually bowed down and personally picked up the broken lamps on the ground: "The war in Jiuyuan is not over, the people are displaced, and they can't even eat a mouthful of food. At the moment and a half of your quarrel here, when they may be suffering from life and death, is the court asking you to do this?" Although the words were light, they made everyone's hearts tremble word by word, seeing that the fragments in the emperor's hands were getting tighter and tighter, Zong Ran couldn't help but be shocked, while calling someone to come over to clean up the mess, while pulling out the fragments from Li Zongzhi's hands, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty! The emperor quickly let go, come here, Xuan Taiyi!"

Li Zongzhi only exhaled lightly, looked at the blood beads dripping from his fingers, and laughed coldly: "I ascended the throne at the age of eight, and the military minister has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and I have never put me in my eyes. However, I asked myself what I had done for my people during the more than ten years when I had been a traitor and a traitor, and how simple the people's requirements were, as long as they did not fight, had food to eat, and clothes to wear, it was already their greatest blessing. Now that I am willing to take a step back for the sake of my people, can you take that step back for me!"

No one answered! Because in what everyone said just now, no one considered or spoke from the standpoint of the people. Xu is because the problems of Jiuyuan have been repeated to the point that everyone is disgusted, so everyone will be full of energy to win the victory, but because of this, they ignore the soldiers and people of Jiuyuan at the cost of their lives, and forget their shattered homes in the war.

"Danyang secretly reported that the army of Heboduo appeared in Handan a month ago, and it is estimated that there are no less than 40,000 horses. What do you think is the reason why Bark Cheng is begging for peace, but the other is waving his army straight to Danyang?"

Everyone in the hall changed their faces when they heard this, and the buzzing suddenly rose, Li Zongzhi returned to his seat and sat down, and only after the imperial doctor who arrived in a hurry finished bandaging it, did he raise his eyes and look at the hall with deep meaning.

"Can no one worry about me?"

Wechen dared to guess one of them. Su Pintuo raised his head and replied in a loud voice.

Master Su just said it clearly. ”

The current situation is already very clear, the emperor's attitude is on the bright side, there is no need for everyone to guess, although the result is not as expected, but it is better to conform to the monarch's heart than to be disobedient, Su Pintuo's initiative to ask everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, and the scene gradually eased.

The minister thought that Vedic Cheng did this in order to facilitate the conclusion of the peace effort. Danyang is adjacent to Julu, and Heboduo borders, he knows that he has no confidence in asking for peace in the book, and there is a Jiuyuan army in front of him to resist, unable to attack, so he turns to the side, and wants to use Danyang as a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions with us. If the peace is successful, he can retreat unscathed, if we don't allow it, he loses the giant deer and can use Danyang, which is also a good way out. ”

"That's what I'm worried about. Danyang has been restless since the destruction of Yunzhuang, Leng Gongzi's men have hidden countless forces, and they have been waiting for an opportunity to rise; when General Li returned, he handed over Danyang to Zheng Kai to garrison, and it was he who wrote a secret report detailing Danyang's movements at this moment. The war in Jiuyuan has been in turmoil for a long time, and the people have long been miserable, if the He army spreads again from Danyang, I am afraid that it will ......" Li Zongzhi was stunned, but his meaning was already very clear, although everyone in the palace was unwilling, but after thinking about it, the Mo family army led by General Mo Han had nearly pacified the rebellion of the Wu family, if Jiuyuan was peaceful, the world of the Great Jin Dynasty would be peaceful, and the people should heal their scars and recuperate after such a war, and the imperial power above the court fell back, which is tantamount to creating a new situation.

"Minister Li Jing, agree with the move to negotiate peace!"

"Chen Li Qiongchi has no objection. ”

"There was no objection from the ministers. ”

When the echo resounded throughout the hall, Li Zongzhi stood up with a lonely look in his eyes, looked at the unreachable north, and said softly: "I only hope that the soldiers of Jiuyuan will not blame me, I ...... Shame on them!" Those words shocked all the ministers in front of the palace, and everyone had mixed tastes in their hearts, and it was difficult to speak.

That's right, negotiating peace is indeed a good thing for the people, but for the soldiers of Jiuyuan, it may not be able to convince them, especially when the situation is so good, accepting such harsh compensation conditions, for those soldiers who have won a qiē with their lives, it will be a humiliating scar, and it is an unspeakable pain in their hearts! Now, they can only accept it unconditionally......

The snow was falling, and it was late at night when the ministers came out of the Xuanhe Palace, and the red candles along the way illuminated the way home, and also illuminated the once dark road in the heart of Emperor Wen of Jin.

The snowflakes covered the eyebrows one by one, freezing the faint tears in the corners of his eyes, the burden of forbearance and humiliation for more than ten years has finally been rewarded, the world of this Dajin is no longer in the hands of others, no matter what has been bitter or not, for him, it is worth it!

"From now on, no one can be above my imperial power anymore, not anyone!!"

"Drive-drive-open the city gate!" The sky was faint, the morning bell woke up the sleeping imperial city, the dense horses' hooves splashed with ice slag and rushed to the east city gate, the leader was dressed in yellow armor, and the token of the Imperial Forest Army was high in his hand, and the soldiers guarding the city saw it from afar, and rushed down to the city to open the city gate.

Different from the past, this time with the holy decree to Jiuyuan is all the Royal Forest Army, there is no accompanying eunuch to declare the decree, nor any ministers with goods, all of them are good at martial arts, the reason is that the road to Jiuyuan is long, but also the security risks under the turbulence of the times.

"My lord, Grandpa Zong Ran is ahead!" As soon as the team left the city gate and turned a corner, a royal forest soldier suddenly strangled the horse's hooves, and Zhonglang looked up at Yue Hu when he heard this, and immediately grabbed the reins and stopped in place.

Zong Ran stood quietly in place with an oilcloth umbrella in his hand, the umbrella surface was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, thinking that he had been waiting for a long time. Yue Hu was a little surprised, and after signaling everyone to stand by, he flew off his horse and headed towards Zongran.

"Father-in-law is polite, Yue Hu is about to go to Jiuyuan with the holy decree, does father-in-law have something to say?"

Zong Ran didn't answer Yue Hu's words, but slightly sideways his eyes signaled him to follow him, Yue Hu didn't understand what he meant, but still followed him towards the path. At the end of the path there was a long pavilion, and there was a person standing in the pavilion at this moment, although it was still far away, Yue Hu had already seen the figure of that person; he was suspicious, more panicked, and after walking a few steps quickly, he bowed his head heavily to the man: "The minister has seen the emperor!"

Li Zongzhi didn't look back, just looked at the vast snow curtain in the distance, and said softly with a look that made people wonder: "Before going to Jiuyuan, I want you to go to Chengle with an edict, so that my aunt, the wife of the mighty marquis, will come to Beijing immediately." ”

"But......" Yue Hu raised his head in surprise, but he only said two words before he paused.

Yesterday in the main hall, when the emperor put the holy decree into his own hands, he said that the war in Jiuyuan could not be delayed, and the holy decree needed to be sent to the mighty marquis non-stop, and there were still so many ministers in the palace at that time, I thought that this matter should be done as soon as possible, but why did he have to let himself change thousands of miles today, and make a detour to make a detour to announce the oracle?!

"Do you have questions?"

"The minister doesn't dare! The minister will turn around and go to announce the emperor's edict!" Yue Hu's heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to delay for half a minute after receiving the order, so he turned around and left quickly. Zong Ran stood in place and watched his departing figure, and after a while, he walked into the pavilion, and when he arrived behind Li Zongzhi, he gently covered Li Zongzhi's body with the cloak that was attached to the railing.

"The morning breeze hits, and the emperor still has to go back to the palace as much as possible. ”

Li Zongzhi moved slightly, first sneered, and then turned his head, stared directly at Zong Ran and said, "To be honest, do you also have doubts about me in your heart, like Yue Hu, thinking that I am deliberately delaying the time for peace." ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave only knows that the emperor must have his own reason for making any decision, no matter what others think, the slave never questions the emperor's will, it was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will still be the case in the future!"

"It's someone who has more prestige—"

"For a slave, there will always be only one master, and no matter how much the courtier should not overshadow the light of the master. ”

"Heh, it's you who treat me so wholeheartedly, as for the others, heh-" Li Zongzhi didn't continue, only looked back at the distance again, and then turned around and walked into the snow.

The battle is over, Bai Yan should come back, that man......

It's time to come back with him......

On the last day of 2014, I wish you all a happy new year and all the best~R638
