Chapter 117: Persuasion

Let's say that after the eldest prince retired from the dynasty, he returned to his prince's mansion, and the more he thought about it, the more proud he became: sitting on the dragon chair, ruling the world, saying nine things, and respecting me, this feels so cool!

He summoned his advisers and told them how he had turned things around today, and changed the court's deliberations from discussing and supporting the frontier to discussing the formulation of etiquette and law, showing respect and humility, and strict hierarchy.

"However, I also announced at the court today that I have formulated a strategic plan to support the frontier. Today, you will work out a method and strategy for supporting the frontier, and you will also formulate a set of etiquette systems, and when you go to the court tomorrow, I will send out an edict for the officials of the DPRK and China to follow and implement. ”

In the evening, the eldest prince was drinking a little wine and listening to a small song with a few entourages, when suddenly a guard came over to report: "Your Royal Highness, the head of the Cao family, the head of the Sun family, and the head of the Huang family are now in the Cao family's mansion, and I want to ask the eldest prince to go to the meeting secretly." ”

The eldest prince, Xia Wei, thought to himself: What's the matter? Didn't the three of them go to the Tianduan Mountain Range to look for the spirit herb elixir, why did they come back suddenly? Now I am in charge of the country, and I have the final say in the entire imperial city, and there is no need to discuss matters in secret, and they can come to the palace to see me in a grand manner. But in order to show his good image as Corporal Lixian, he still decided to go secretly.

Xia Wei followed the guard and secretly came to the Cao family and met the head of the Cao family. The patriarch of the Huang family and the patriarch of the Sun family were also in the Cao family, and after a few people saw each other, the patriarch of the Cao family invited the eldest prince to sit down, and he and the patriarch of the Sun family, the patriarch of the Huang family, faced the eldest prince, and sat in the three directions below by the door.

Xia Wei asked Cao Anbang, the patriarch of the Cao family, "Didn't the three of you go to the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range to look for the spirit grass and receive the medicine? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Cao Anbang said: "We heard that there was a war on the border, so we hurried back. ”

Cao Anbang and the patriarch of the Huang family and the eldest grandson of the Sun family glanced at each other, and Cao Anbang said to Xia Wei: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what you think about this border war?"

Xia Wei said: "I think this border battle is a trivial matter, my father personally went to the battle, and when he arrived at the border pass, he wiped out all the enemies, and he just came back." ”

Cao Anbang said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, my opinion is completely opposite to yours:

Let's start with the battlefields in the east, northwest, and north. On the battlefield in the east, there are four martial emperors in the four island countries, one martial emperor in the north of the Great Liang country, and two martial emperors in the two northwest countries, and these martial emperors can fly in the air, tens of thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of miles, and they can fly in a few days. And we don't have a martial emperor in these three aspects, if those martial emperors come to attack in person, a few slaps can kill all the soldiers at our border, we have no chance of winning, and we will definitely lose.

Let's talk about the battlefield of the Southwest Flying Dragon Army. Although His Majesty went to the Imperial Palace, you don't know that our Majesty's skills are far worse than Chen Liguo, the emperor of Da Chen Guo. And I got an extremely reliable news, the Great Chen State attacked our Great Xia Kingdom this time, not only Emperor Chen Liguo personally conquered, but more importantly, they invited back their Martial Sect Elder Chen Tairen in the Tianduanmen! As long as Elder Chen made a move, a few slaps could wipe out all of our Flying Dragon Army. A martial sect can fly tens of thousands of miles in a day, maybe now, martial arts sect Chen Tairen has flown over, and the army and flying dragon army led by our majesty have been wiped out by martial sect Chen Tairen. The strength of a martial sect is unimaginable to us, in the face of the martial sect, how can we resist?

In fact, this time, the reason why the four eastern islands, the Great Liang Kingdom, and the two countries in the northwest attacked our Great Xia Kingdom was because the Great Chen Kingdom contacted these countries and promised great benefits to these countries, so they joined forces to attack. At present, our country has no chance of winning in any aspect, and the disaster of national destruction is imminent. We invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come today to discuss a way to prevent the Great Xia Kingdom from being destroyed and annihilated. ”

The eldest prince Xia Wei listened to Cao Anbang's words, like five thunderbolts, and was stunned for a moment: How is this possible? All along, in Xia Wei's heart, his father Xia Mingjun is wise and martial, and he is invincible in the world. No matter what happens, as long as Xia Mingjun makes a move, there is nothing that cannot be solved. But now, Xia Wei was scared, he never expected that the war would end like this. He had only been in charge of the country for a day, and he had only sat on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Treasure Hall for a day. Now, the Great Xia Kingdom will actually be defeated, and the country will be wiped out. What should I do? He is a noble prince, but if the Great Xia Kingdom is defeated and he is captured by the Great Chen Kingdom, he will be beheaded! Is it possible for him to escape? Even if he escapes, how difficult and painful will the days of escape be?

The eldest prince sat there, panicked, and the six gods had no master.

When the patriarch of the Cao family saw it, he struck while the iron was hot: "We must think of a way to prevent the country from perishing, and thousands of people will be slaughtered by the war and become slaves of the country." ”

The eldest prince asked, "Then what should we do?"

The patriarch of the Cao family said: "I have a way to save the Great Xia Kingdom from being burned by the flames of war and save thousands of people from a mortal situation, but I don't know if His Highness is willing to adopt it?"

The eldest prince hurriedly asked, "What good way do you have?"

The patriarch of the Cao family said, "Does Your Highness know where the three of us have been during this period of time?"

The eldest prince said, "Didn't you go to the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range to look for the spirit herb elixir?"

The patriarch of the Cao family and the other two glanced at each other and said, "Your Highness, in fact, we didn't go to the Heavenly Broken Mountain Range. Instead, he went to meet the envoy of the Great Chen Kingdom. Chen Liguo, the emperor of the Great Chen State, sent an envoy to tell us that he would personally lead his troops to attack the Great Xia Kingdom and destroy the Great Xia Kingdom. He invited the elders of the Tianduanmen and their martial sect Chen Tairen of the Great Chen Kingdom to come to help, and contacted the four eastern islands, the Great Liang Kingdom, the Great Moon Kingdom, and the Black Mountain Kingdom, and asked these countries to attack the Great Xia Kingdom from three sides at the same time, and after destroying the Great Xia Kingdom, they would jointly divide the territory, resources, and people of the Great Xia Kingdom.

When they destroy the Great Xia Kingdom, they will put all the old people of the Great Xia Kingdom to death, and all the young people and children will be turned into slaves, and for the royal family, the officials at all levels, the army, and the people of the major families of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Great Chen Kingdom will execute all of them, leaving no one behind.

We told the envoy of the Great Chen Kingdom that the Great Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom was benevolent and kind, and loved the people like a son, and if the Great Chen Kingdom destroyed the Great Xia Kingdom and cut the Great Prince and his family into five horses, it would be a pity that such a virtuous person as the Great Prince should not be treated so cruelly and inhumanely, and it would be against the peace of heaven. In the end, after some pleading from us, the envoy of the Great Chen State agreed that as long as the Great Prince led the Great Xia Kingdom, those who did not oppose the Great Chen Kingdom would obey the orders of the Great Chen Kingdom. After the Great Chen State destroyed the army led by Emperor Xia Mingjun, it would not destroy the Great Xia Kingdom, but let the Great Prince be the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom. In this way, thousands of people and princes and grandsons of the Great Xia Kingdom, officials at all levels of government and their families could be saved.

The eldest prince's heart was in turmoil, thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart, he was afraid, painful, troubled, sorrowful, sad, he hesitated, hesitated.

The three patriarchs of the Cao family sat in three aspects, waiting for the eldest prince to make a decision.

The eldest prince said: "We are reconciled with the Great Chen Kingdom in this way. Will my father agree? Earlier, Da Chen Guo made peace with us like this, so there was no need for my father to lead troops to fight. ”

The patriarch of the Cao family said: "The Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Chen Kingdom are old enemies, your father and emperor will definitely not be willing to reconcile with the Great Chen Kingdom like this, and it is impossible for the Great Chen Kingdom to agree to reconcile with your father like this." Now that the Great Chen Kingdom has invited Elder Chen from the Heavenly Broken Gate back, it is necessary to destroy your Great Xia Kingdom and capture and execute your father. Now there is still a chance, that is, as long as you agree to reconcile with Da Chen Guo and obey Da Chen Guo's orders, we can send someone to tell Da Chen Guo now, and when they catch your father, they can see your face and not execute him. But it is definitely impossible for the Great Chen Kingdom to let your father be the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom anymore, and the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom can only be the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom. ”
