"Your Majesty, for the sake of the ministers who have followed you for so many years...... Wang Zhaoyuan knelt down on the main hall and climbed to the high dragon chair, tears streaming down his face.

"Kill him! Kill him! The civil and military ministers glared angrily, shouting and shouting to kill. Now no one wants to speak for Wang Zhaoyuan, Wang Zhaoyuan lost the key to the Yangtze River, the important town of Kuizhou in the east, causing the Zhou army to drive straight in, already close to Chengdu, the status, wealth and even lives of all the people in Shu are in danger, who is willing to intercede for him?

Wang Zhaoyuan lay on the ground, anxious and afraid, but he was very ashamed when he heard so many people throwing stones...... I want to be Wolong, and I actually suffered such humiliation today! He pricked up his ears to hear who was shouting for killing. It's strange today, Li Hao, who usually doesn't deal with him the most, didn't take the opportunity to attack, and he never heard Li Hao's voice. Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but glance sideways, only to see Li Hao standing there, as if asleep with his eyes closed.

Li Hao's fight is because of righteousness, or is he broad-minded and doesn't care about his previous ugliness? No! Wang Zhaoyuan knows Li Hao, this guy is an old fox.

At this moment, a senior general said: "Wang Zhaoyuan is my deputy envoy to the court, why was he released?" Are you here to persuade you to surrender? ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan's heart trembled, and he said in his heart: If I persuade me to surrender now, won't I be looking for death?

Although the general trend of Shu is gone, as long as the emperor does not express his intention to surrender, if anyone dares to propose it directly, it is very likely that someone with a heart will be caught. So now no one is talking about surrender.

Meng Chang's voice said, "Wang Zhaoyuan! Are you here to persuade me to surrender? ”

"No, it's not......," Wang Zhaoyuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not time to surrender, we still have a chance!" ”

"What chance?" Meng Chang seems to have forgotten how Wang Zhaoyuan could return to Chengdu.

Wang Zhaoyuan was still kneeling, but he straightened up and said, "Your Majesty is now determined to protect the country, there is still something to be done!" The Zhou army ran two thousand miles on the east road, and the lone army went deep, and divided troops to guard it all the way from Kuizhou to Yuzhou and then to Suizhou. There are only 20,000 people in total, how much is there for such a point, does Your Majesty think that the Eastern Route Army can pose any threat to Chengdu? ”

Meng Chang groaned.

A senior general hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhaoyuan's success is not enough and there is more than failure, don't believe his slander again." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan was furious: "Only slander kills loyalty, slander the monarch does not ask about political affairs, who has heard that the slanderous monarch is working hard to govern and protect the country?" ”

The general couldn't argue.

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "The minister was in Kuizhou, and he led his troops to fight hard with the Zhou army, but unfortunately the soldiers did not need to be killed and collapsed, so they were defeated and captured." That Gao Yanyu shrank in the city of Kuizhou and saw death without help, watching the fire from the other side, and after seeing that I was defeated to the death, he led Kuizhou to surrender to the Zhou army without firing a single arrow, and also offered 300,000 grains and grass. If I hadn't been captured, I would have burned the grain and wouldn't have left it for the Zhou army! Your Majesty, you should kill Gao Yanyu's entire family to set an example! ”

"This! Is there still a heavenly principle? Someone was furious, "What kind of person is Gao Yanyan, we don't know?" What is your Wang Zhaoyuan, who doesn't know? ”

Meng Chang said: "I have known Wang Zhao for a long time, at least he is not a bad person. Moreover, what Wang Zhaoyuan said was true, Gao Yanyu did surrender without fighting, but Wang Zhaoyuan fought against the Zhou army. ”

The angry general said: "Your Majesty, although Wang Zhaoyuan fought, he had no results, and he also completely defeated the troops in Kuizhou. Gao Yanyan was reluctant to fight, he must have wanted to keep Kuizhou, but he saw that the general trend had gone, so he surrendered. ”

"Surrender with 300,000 Hu military rations?" Wang Zhaoyuan sneered.

Meng Chang groaned: "Gao Yanyan is also a veteran, I can't be too cruel to his family. ”

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "Gao Yanyu still has Kuizhou, and there are still a large number of Shu army prisoners in Kuizhou and other places. Your Majesty can send someone to issue an order to threaten Gao Yanyan's family and ask him to cut off the Zhou army's grain route in the back. Our Dashu forbidden army sent troops to attack and harass the Fujiang River and the Yangtze River along the road to meet the rebels. We still have more than 100,000 troops, and the 20,000 people who are scattered by the Zhou army are scattered deep into the lone army, why do we want to surrender? ”

When Meng Chang heard this, he seemed to have a glimmer of hope: "Deputy Envoy Wang, do you really think the situation can still be saved?" ”

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "Your Majesty Mingjian." Shu surrendered, those courtiers who ate and drank with vegetarian meals can live, but Your Majesty is the emperor of heaven, and those who have been emperors since ancient times have no land, and there is still a way to live? Whoever persuades His Majesty to surrender, who just wants to exchange His Majesty's head for his own wealth, a person with a dog of conscience, Your Majesty must see it clearly! ”

Meng Chang got up, looked back left and right, and said: "Wang Zhaoyuan's strategy, I think it makes sense. What do you think? ”

No one in the palace wants to be a wolf-hearted person who "exchanges the emperor's head for glory and wealth", so no one is silent.

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly walked into the main hall and said, "Zhou Jun has sent a letter of persuasion to surrender. ”

"Bring it up and see what they have to say." Meng Chang said, and when he saw something, he was immediately furious, "Blacksmith Guo deceived people too much, and he even surrendered within five days!" ”

The ministers were in an uproar, and everyone had something to say, "Can he go to Chengdu in five days?" It's really time that there is no one in our Shu Kingdom! ”

Meng Chang stood up, his fat and weak body almost didn't stand firm, but he said angrily: "If the Zhou army dares to come to Chengdu, I will drive the expedition in person!" Divide height and shortness with Guo Blacksmith on the battle array! ”

Wang Zhaoyuan hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is as powerful as a dragon, Dashu is saved!" ”

……

Wang Zhaoyuan walked around the ghost gate, walked out of the imperial city and let out a long breath, saw the carriage coming from home, and quickly climbed up. He took out Guo Shao's letter to the Emperor of Dashu from his arms, his hands were shaking, and no one searched him. He hurriedly tore it into several pieces, thought about it, and simply stuffed it in his mouth and chewed it.

When I returned home, a group of wives and concubines came up and wept and cried. Wang Zhaoyuan was furious: "Get out!" Get lost! ”

After a while, my cousin entered and stepped forward and said, "I heard that Lao Biao Jinyan His Majesty resisted Zhou Jun, and Lao Biao thinks that Dashu can still be saved?" ”

"There's a fart!" Wang Zhaoyuan looked back left and right, and said in a low voice, "Lao Tzu fought a battle in Kuizhou, and ten of them couldn't win a single Zhou soldier, so this battle couldn't be fought." Dashu will die in less than a month, and His Majesty will be able to sit on the dragon chair for a few more days...... You've all been prepared earlier, listen to me. ”

The cousin was stunned and said, "Why is the old cousin ......?"

Wang Zhaoyuan glared and said, "If I persuade Your Majesty to surrender, can you still talk to me now?" My head has moved, can I still speak? ”

The cousin was thoughtful and hurriedly bowed.

Wang Zhaoyuan paced back and forth in the room, and said in his heart: When Guo Blacksmith invaded Chengdu, he learned that instead of persuading me to surrender, he also persuaded Meng Chang to fight to the death, can Guo Blacksmith let me go?

Wang Zhaoyuan felt that he still had a way, which was an intuition. Then Li Hao didn't fall into the well today, Wang Zhaoyuan really didn't figure out the reason, but he felt that this was the case: Li Hao thought that he could still turn over, and he was unwilling to do something desperately.

Li Hao thinks he can turn over, how can he turn over? Wang Zhaoyuan pondered.

At this moment, a tall young lady walked to the door and said happily: "Father, you are really back!" We all thought you ......"

"Qian'er!" Wang Zhaoyuan's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise, as if he saw a spiritual light, and seemed to faintly see the exit.

His daughter Wang Qian was frightened by him: "Father, why do you look at your daughter like this?" ”

Wang Zhaoyuan said: "It's okay, it's okay." For his father, he died in the battle battle, and when he came back to the temple, he was plotted by the villain, walking on thin ice...... It's nice to still be able to see my family, it's good. ”

"Father, I'm sorry for you." Wang Qian said movingly, "Our whole family and relatives can only rely on my father. ”

Wang Zhaoyuan nodded and sighed, but pondered carefully in his heart. That Bai Sanniang (Bai Ma) was able to enter the Chinese army tent of the Zhou army, and even Guo Shao spoke to her very politely.

Bai Sanniang, Wang Zhaoyuan knows who it is. The ex-wife of son-in-law Li Liangyou was divorced for stealing people; That Li Liangyou is also a jinshi, he has nothing, he has no power and no connections, Wang Zhaoyuan didn't agree. But his daughter already had a personal relationship with him, and Wang Zhaoyuan thought about the person who could be an official, and he could be promoted in the future, so he didn't object much.

Wang Zhaoyuan pondered: Bai Sanniang is still thinking about her ex-husband, and her ex-husband is her son-in-law, and she listens to her own ...... With this relationship, it is okay to settle Bai Sanniang.

Then let Bai Sanniang intercede for herself, and even use this to climb Guo Shao, maybe she will be blessed by misfortune!

What is the relationship between Bai Sanniang and Guo Shao? After Wang Zhaoyuan was captured, he was very curious because he found Bai Sanniang in the camp, so he inquired: It is said that Bai Sanniang is very good at medicine and wants to treat Guo Shao's friend?

What the hell is going on, if she wants to heal the disease, she is still grinding there; It is said that one of her nieces was sent back to Tokyo for treatment. Wang Zhaoyuan boldly guessed that Guo Shao fell in love with that Lu Xiaoniang, and then he flattered Bai Sanniang and was so tolerant of her...... It's just to find someone to treat the disease, and the relationship hasn't reached that level yet.

"Father, why did you suddenly stop talking, what were you thinking?" Wang Qian reminded Wang Zhaoyuan.

Wang Zhaoyuan lamented: "It will not be long before my father's death. ”

Wang Qian was surprised: "Didn't Your Majesty let you come back?" ”

Wang Zhaoyuan whispered: "When Your Majesty was still the crown prince, I was his scholar, and it was impossible for Your Majesty to kill me." The people who want to kill me are the generals of the Zhou army, they will come to Chengdu, and soon the Shu kingdom will be destroyed. ”

"This ...... What to do? Wang Qian said, "Let's quickly pack up and find a place to avoid trouble!" ”

Wang Zhaoyuan sighed: "Avoid trouble? The world is not the king's land, the entire Shu Kingdom is the Zhou court, where can we avoid it? Besides, we have so many good fields and mansions and so many things, have you lost them? ”

Wang Qian said: "Money and things outside the body, if you throw them away, throw them away, and our family will find a place where no one knows to hide." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "You have been clothed and fed since you were a child, you have never suffered hardships, you have never suffered crimes, and you don't understand." It's okay if you don't understand, as a father, I want you to be so good all the time, and you don't have to endure hardship...... But we are a little wronged, Bai Sanniang, the ex-wife of Liangyou (son-in-law), has found a big backer, there is no way now, let's let her be big and you be small, do you agree? Resolve the previous suspicions, aren't everyone a family? ”

Wang Qian was silent.
