The border troops swarmed towards the inner camp, like a long dancing dragon, cut off by obstacles and human walls, and shouted there: "Let us go to the emperor." There were traitors around the emperor. ”

The Guards are also talking.

But who is the spy?

They counted on their fingers, and there were indeed traitorous ministers, like Feng Zeyi, Pei Xianjing, and ......, these people circled around the emperor and framed political enemies.

But this time, they also followed the emperor every day and shouted to negotiate peace.

The wind gusted, and the noise came out loud.

The emperor felt that this camp was airy and cold.

The noise, though far away, made his scalp tingle, and the pressure of tens of thousands of people was very bearable. Especially the kind that is difficult to accept, someone has already told him about the demands of the soldiers, the first is to negotiate peace, and the second is to hand over the murderer who killed Wu Yuanzhao. The emperor found it difficult to accept, and listened to his tone when he spoke with his uncle in the evening, the army was still stable enough, why was there such a strong voice now? And to kill Wu Yuanzhao, it was suspected that he was colluding with Dia Bird, and he offended me more than once.

The emperor was both angry and terrified.

What do you want?

There are two reasons for this, my uncle has no way to govern the army, and there are people behind him, and it is very likely that he is Wu Yuanzhao's comrade.

Dong Wen rushed to see him outside the tent, and he let him stop outside the tent.

It's not that he doesn't trust Dong Wen enough, but he doesn't want people to know what he looks like now, how can the fear of the emperor and the fear of the Buddha be revealed in front of ordinary people? He held accountable, "Uncle." You still want to attack the Dongxia army, everyone has rebelled, what do you use to attack the Dongxia army, who do you coax? Do you believe that I can take your head and use it to appease the soldiers? ”

The rhetoric is agitated.

He was also excited in the tent, standing upright, waving his arm vigorously and pointing in one direction.

His handsome face was slightly pale, and his cheeks flew into a sickly red. There is no doubt that he is a handsome man, although he is a little fat, but his eyes are still bright, and his neck has not yet accumulated fat, standing upright, except for the slight convexity of the lower abdomen, he is still straight, the key is that this abdomen is a kind of sought-after blessing in the scholar's place. The Emperor stood like this, cold and gloomy so that he had a different kind of look, there was a little light in the tent, but the space was too large, and most of the place was dark. He faced the darkness and had a profound gloomy aura.

The handsome man is handsome in his heart, although he is excited and frightened, but the emperor's heart is deep and far-reaching, full of character. He began to think about walking, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, his steps on the waxed floor laid out in the tent were light and heavy, full of charm, and he was thinking about what caused the situation today.

Did he do it wrong?

Does Dia Bird kill or not? Killing someone will anger tens of thousands of soldiers under his command? Dia Bird decided whether to fight or to make people tease?

Why is this the case when he comes here?

This rhythm gave Dong Wen a huge amount of ideological pressure.

His nephew said that he would hand it over to the soldiers to calm his anger, would he really think of it, kill himself, show his head to the public, and borrow the anger of the bureau?

He didn't worry about the soldiers over there, although he had just gone to see it, the scene was not out of control, and he had arranged a lot of generals and manpower...... But will it change over time? Gritting his teeth, he stubbornly said: "Your Majesty wants to hand over my head to the soldiers, and if you can calm their anger, my uncle has the responsibility to do it." But the problem is that what they want is peace. How did Wu Yuanzhao die, it was just a trigger for them, they lit the fire, and the soldiers thought that Wu Yuanzhao had come to persuade you and was killed by traitors. ”

The emperor became more and more calm, and calmness would lead to calm, and he asked lightly, "Is it?" ”

Dong Wen also said: "If you don't make a decision, it's easy to change, and now the ministers are rushing to persuade you, but whether you can persuade or not, whether it's easy or not to persuade, in fact, there is still one issue, whether Your Majesty is willing to negotiate peace." ”

The emperor said, "Peace? It's a tactic, a means, of Dia Bird, and it's really working now. ”

He seemed to be laughing.

Dong Wen was worried and anxious, and begged: "I have to hurry over and watch to avoid the situation from deteriorating." ”

The Emperor asked himself softly, "What is the reason?" ”

He thought about the reason, but didn't say it.

The first reason for this is that there are not so many truly loyal ministers and generals, and the children of the family and their disciples cover the court. They are not loyal to seek a high position, but rely on communication to show their talents, rely on money exchanges, once they get the general recognition of the scholars, they can go out, many people through family marriages, lecture everywhere, travel widely, recommend the office, enough to call the wind and rain, and even with the military generals in the army also maintain inextricable contacts.

This Wu Yuanzhao is an example.

He was born in a second-rate gate.

I have been letting this go all along, and of course it is difficult to change the status quo, unless I purge them one by one, it is difficult to change the status quo.

Therefore, when the ministers said that they wanted to negotiate peace, the army followed suit.

Fighting is to kill people, it will bury them outside the fortress, but if the battle is won, the reward is also rich, according to the practice of the empire, killing Dia Bird, it is the reward of the princes of one side, why don't they be moved? Historically, the generals have been the most active in the conquest of these wild chieftains.

The second is what Xiong Xilai said, the will of the soldiers and even the will of the ministers is not strong enough, why is it not firm enough, because they have no faith in their hearts.

They don't pursue honor after death and the world after death.

They don't believe in reincarnation.

Why did so many ministers die in ancient times? They just think that after their death, they can be passed down through the ages and can be turned into a breath of fresh air...... The reason why Dia Bird's soldiers are so determined is because they have shamans who will repeatedly tell them that after death, they will go to accompany them in the eternal life.

Xiong Xilai also mentioned some reasons, such as the chaos of the army, which is also the reason, but this is only a small reason.

The big reason is those two.

If there is a solution to it, it is to rely on the Buddha to solve it.

People are disloyal, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, that is, the imperial power cannot have their hearts, the imperial power cannot, and the Buddha can. People are afraid of death, and their will is not strong, that is because they are afraid that after death, there will be nothing left, relatives will suffer, Danshu Qingshi can leave them a good name, and shamans can let them go to heaven to accompany the Lord of the heavens, what about the Buddha? Buddhas can reincarnate them, depending on whether they are religious enough to be rich and prosperous.

I want to ......

Dong Wen couldn't wait outside, and urged: "Your Majesty." Let's make a decision. I'm going to rush back and help control the scene. ”

The emperor suddenly asked, "Uncle, do you believe in Buddhism?" ”

Dong Wen smiled bitterly.

He is a general who leads the army, and he usually plays with the enemy to deceive and believe in Buddhism for goodness?

The emperor is a little lost,

His uncle didn't believe in Buddhism, so how could he let these gatekeepers believe in them one by one?

The emperor said unhappily, "You go." ”

Dong Wen was disappointed.

You go, but there is no answer, you don't get an answer, how can you go out and talk to the soldiers, do you want to tell them about peace or war? He persuaded, "Your Majesty, what about your decision." ”

The emperor said lightly: "Ask the Buddha." ”

Dong Wen had no choice but to retreat softly, turned around, and walked towards the place where the noise was raised, maybe the emperor meant this, let himself give an explanation to the soldiers, and let himself bear the consequences of the unfavorable war, unjust war for no reason, and so on.

Step by step, he walked slowly and heavily.

However, counting the steps, after about twenty steps, the emperor's voice sounded again: "Come back." ”

Dong Wen went back again.

The emperor said lightly: "Let's negotiate peace." You're right, take a breath. ”

Dong Wen intends to retire again.

The emperor demanded: "Uncle has come to help me, and I will stand in front of those soldiers and take a good look at who is behind the trouble." ”

Dong Wen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "There are too many people, it is chaotic, and there is a lot of trouble, if Your Majesty goes there, the scene will not get out of control?" ”

The Emperor insisted, "Take me with you." I have the blessing of Heaven and the Dharma, and all evils are inviolable, so would I be afraid that they will not succeed? Although there are tens of millions of people, they are all fur and color, and they are calm when they see empty. ”

Dong Wen was helpless, shouted loudly, and asked people to serve the emperor.

The emperor put on a dragon robe, put on a dragon crown, buckle a dragon belt, put on a dragon shoe, let people hand Ruyi, grasp it in one hand, let people hand it to the Buddha, and grasp the other hand.

One holds the imperial luck, the other holds the Proverbs Dharma, and both hands are indispensable.

His guard of honor was gradually getting ready.

The chariots and horses stood up like flowing water, the golden gourd screen leaves were beaten, and all kinds of cloud flags were unfurled, and the emperor asked the general Dong Wen to personally stretch out his hand to pull it, board the dragon chariot, and asked softly: "Let's go." ”

The gong is opened, and the music is suddenly liturgical.

The soldiers saw the emperor's guard of honor coming from afar.

Someone shouted in the crowd: "The emperor is coming." Long live Lord is here. Don't make any noise, and when he comes, we'll tell him that there's a traitor. ”

The Emperor has arrived.

The guard of honor stopped, he asked Dong Wen to drag him down, found a wooden platform for soldiers, pointed up, and waited for the guards to go up to guard, and the guard went up partially, and he also climbed up, standing in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, with a dozen torches, he looked extremely graceful, extremely luxurious, deep and self-controlled.

He announced in a deep voice: "Wu Yuanzhao and Dia Niao colluded and raised eyebrows with each other, I killed him, who will denounce him?" ”

When the words were repeated, the soldiers were suddenly silent.

Who will denounce it?

The emperor killed the people.

Didn't he kill whoever he wanted?

Not only did the soldiers not dare to denounce, but their backs were cold, and most of them were thinking: What should I do if the emperor wants to kill me?

The emperor knew that he had conquered himself, overcame his cowardice, and was very successful, and tens of thousands of soldiers did not dare to move, and they did not dare to say a word.

A Wu Yuanzhao?

I'm telling you that I want to kill him.

He smiled coldly in his heart, and then said: "I feel that the Dongxia King Diaiao is not sincere in negotiating peace, which is a sign of lack of strength, and we have repeatedly suffered defeats, once we negotiate peace, we will have to agree to his unbelievable conditions. If you can win a battle, I will make peace. I am the Son of Heaven, and I think so, that is, I will honor it, and it depends on whether you can win the battle. ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly woke up from the silence, and they shouted: "My emperor is wise, long live my emperor." ”

Then, there was the promise of victory in the first battle.

Dong Wen turned his face and looked at the emperor incredulously.

The emperor appeared calm.

The army has to be driven, this is his uncle, he is really not good at governing the army.
