Xuan Chengyuan's first reaction was indeed a little ashamed, because Yu Qian was right, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he had now become an accomplice of the Mongolian people and betrayed his country and nation. Moreover, he has also read sage articles for decades, talking about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, which naturally makes him feel even more ashamed.

Soon after, however, his shame was replaced by anger. Why did you get to this point? Isn't it because of the unfairness of the government that the court has no eyes? Otherwise, with his own talent, with his current age, he should have been ranked above the court a long time ago, how could he become an accomplice of the Mengren?

And the guy in front of him, who was more than ten years younger than himself, had actually reached the point of being a six-part official of the official seal, which made Xuan Chengyuan feel a little jealous of Qian in his heart. During the change of thoughts, there was a corresponding light in his eyes, and at this time, there was hatred in his eyes staring at Yu Qian: "You don't have to bluff people with these big words." The old man can have today, everything is forced by the government, so if you really want to blame, you can only blame the court for ignorance. When he arrived, he knew me and used me, and the good birds chose trees to perch, and the old man naturally wanted to do things for him. ”

Yu Qian heard him say these words confidently, and while he was stunned, he inevitably had some strange thoughts in his heart - could it be that there is something wrong with the imperial examination implemented now, so that many talented people in the people are depressed in the end?

But then, he pressed this somewhat strange idea again, the imperial examination is already the most just and fair means of selecting talents and using energy in the Central Plains Imperial Court, and he was able to enter the imperial court because of this, even if there are some omissions, there is no way to do it.

Then, Yu Qian's gaze became sharp again: "Even if what you said is good, it is precisely because of your suggestions and suggestions that countless Ming people and soldiers have been killed by the sword, aren't you weak-hearted?" He knows very well that he can rise first, and he can win big victories in Tumubao and Bauhinia Pass one after another, I am afraid that these Han people who have taken refuge in the past must be indispensable behind him, and this Xuan Chengyuan must be the key person.

Sure enough, hearing him say this, Xuan Chengyuan's face changed again. In fact, during this period of time, the old man would always do it in his dreams that the killed Ming soldiers and officials rushed to him to ask for revenge, but he relied on a set of theories just now, thinking that it was the Ming court that first failed him, so that he could survive until now. After being broken by Yu Qian's words, his psychology naturally suffered a lot of pressure.

But now, Xuan Chengyuan has no way out, so he can only hum: "What's the use of you talking about this at this time." Lord Yu, let's talk about what can be solved, and don't talk about other nonsense. ”

Yu Qian glanced at him, and finally sighed secretly and nodded in agreement. He wanted to use words to convince and even rebel against this old man, who was likely to be an important strategist in front of him, but now it seems that the effect is limited.

"Say, what is the conspiracy to send you into Beijing today?"

"Conspiracy? No, the first master is also out of good intentions. Didn't you just say that it was because of me that so many innocent people were killed? Then I'll make up for this mistake now, how about saving this city full of soldiers and civilians? Xuan Chengyuan had regained his composure at this time, and his speech became extremely fluent.

Although these words were said beautifully, Yu Qian quickly heard the meaning of his words: "You are here to persuade us to surrender in Kaicheng?" ”

Xuan Chengyuan nodded immediately: "Yes, this is the most beneficial decision for both parties." The elite of the Ming Dynasty has long been lost, and the defenders who remain in the city now are afraid that they have long been panicked and lost their heart to hold on, right? And in terms of troops, I'm afraid it may not be enough to guard the various gates of Beijing, which you must know better than the old man.

"As for the Mongolian people outside the city, the number of troops at this time is nearly 100,000, and they are coming with the momentum of the two great victories of Tumubao and Bauhinia Pass, both morale and strength, are far above your Beijing defenders. Once they really send troops to attack the city, even if Beijing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will definitely be broken within ten days! And once the city is stormed, you know the rules of the Mongolian people, I am afraid that when the time comes, this Ming capital city will become a Shura hell, and both the army and the people will be killed by the angry Mongolian people!

"Lord Yu, the old man came here today, not only to contribute to the meritorious service of the first master, but also to help my mother's court, I really don't want to see the living soul suffer again, and innocent people are killed. I hope you can understand what I mean. In the end, this one even stood up and bowed to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian's face changed several times, and then he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so much that Xuan Chengyuan was inexplicable for a while, and then he put his face back on again: "For the sake of this city full of soldiers and civilians, you want us to open the city and surrender?" He really dared to think about it first! Does he really think that if there is an occasional small victory, he will treat me as a former Song Dynasty and let him be bullied?

"Yes, I know that you were brought to the city of Beijing because of a careless accident, but do you think this is a complete victory? No, I still have a million soldiers in Beijing City, and I can not only defend this city as impregnable, but also kill all the enemies who will attack in the future. You also tell Ye Xian that if he is acquainted, he can still keep his reputation on the grassland by retiring at this time, otherwise, this Beijing City is the starting point of his failure! ”

These words were sonorous and powerful, and they were full of momentum, and they even bluffed Xuan Chengyuan a lot. It took a while to settle down, and said in a strange tone: "Lord Yu, don't make a wrong decision because of a momentary anger." You say that there are millions of soldiers in this city, which is really too exaggerated, do you really not know the situation in Beijing? Even a few months ago, there were only two or three hundred thousand standing troops in the city, and now, even if you urgently transfer troops from other provinces, the strength will only be about 100,000! Do you really want to watch the fall of Beijing and the burning of jade? ”

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no surrender of the city, let alone that Beijing is the capital of a country. As for these million soldiers, don't you know that there are still a million people in my city of Beijing? Every Ming citizen has the heart to protect his family and defend the country, as long as he dares to attack, they are the most elite soldiers to defend the city! Yu Qian replied without backing down.

This made the other party suffocated, and he couldn't react for a long time. This is to unite the whole city to defend against the Mongols outside the city! This thought of his life made Xuan Chengyuan feel a trace of fear, and for the first time, he really felt that maybe this Beijing city was not so easy to attack.

After hesitating for a moment, he remembered something and said threateningly: "But don't forget, your Ming Son is still in our account." If you insist on sticking to Beijing, not to mention anything else, the situation of the great tomorrow in the hands of the Mongolian people will be very bad! ”

Hearing that he threatened Zhu Qizhen again, Yu Qian's heart couldn't help but sudden.

As a courtier, he is naturally loyal to the emperor. Even if the imperial court has now set up a new monarch, when he heard the news of Zhu Qizhen, he still felt uneasy for a while, and even secretly ashamed. Because it was under his own initiative that the imperial court quickly established Zhu Qiyu as the emperor, which would lead to Zhu Qizhen's situation becoming extremely difficult and dangerous.

As if he had caught Yu Qian's psychology, Xuan Chengyuan continued: "Lord Yu, you may not know, in fact, the situation of the Son of Heaven in the hands of the Mongolian people is very bad, and many people have already made suggestions to the Taishi to kill him. It was the old man's persuasion that made the Taishi not attack him for the time being. But once Beijing refuses to open the city and surrender, and the war breaks out again, and there are casualties on both sides, I am afraid that even the Taishi will be unable to suppress the anger of the people below, and it is inevitable that the Son of Heaven will be killed. And the one who caused all this is probably Lord Yu, as well as the stubbornness of the defenders of your capital. ”

Yu Qian continued to be silent, his eyes were also hanging on the ground, and he didn't move for a long time. This appearance makes people wonder if he is out of his body. But Xuan Chengyuan seemed extremely patient, because he knew that the more difficult it was to make a decision, the more it would show how much impact this matter would have on the person in front of him, and the higher the possibility that he would be able to convince him.

After a long time, Yu Qian finally raised his head, at this time, there was no hesitation and confusion on his face, and he looked very firm: "Since you were also a scholar, then you must have heard a word from Yasheng." The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light! Now, the people of the Ming Dynasty and the hundred years of the Ming Dynasty are all fighting here, and the emperor should be able to understand our difficulties. Therefore, even if there is something unspeakable, we as courtiers can only make amends afterwards. As for the rest, we'll see on the battlefield! ”

"You ......" Xuan Chengyuan really didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and he would completely ignore Zhu Qizhen's life and death. For a while, I didn't know what to say. In fact, he couldn't come up with any more explanations, because all kinds of threats had been said by him one by one, but obviously, the person on the other side didn't eat oil and salt, and he didn't eat soft and hard.

And Yu Qian didn't want to hear anything more from him: "Don't speculate, Your Excellency, please go back." If it weren't for the rule that the two countries would not fight each other, this official would have ordered someone to escort you to the head of the city and show your head to the public to boost the hearts of our army! ”

Speaking of which, Xuan Chengyuan had to get up and leave. He didn't want to die at the hands of the Ming Dynasty government so inexplicably, and now it seemed that this battle was completely inevitable.

He just didn't notice it when he went out, and at this time, Yu Qian's face behind him was also full of entanglements and worries. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, once Zhu Qizhen really has an accident, his own crime and evaluation in history will be very difficult to say......
