Chapter 213: Death
It's about the country, who dares to take chances. The examples of young people who are impulsive and don't love the country and love beauties can be said to abound throughout the ages.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, there was a war between the Song and Tang dynasties, and Li Tang was finally wiped out, and the most unlucky people must be these important ministers of the court and the central government here.
For the common people, whether they accept the rule of Li Tang or the rule of the Song court, there will be no essential difference. As for those petty officials and officials, as long as they swore allegiance to the Song court, they could continue to be their seven-rank sesame officials.
But these important ministers of the court will not be so lucky. After all, the most prominent position of a country is limited, and how can it be left to them.
Once Li Tang is destroyed, their status will not be guaranteed, and they may even have the disaster of raiding their families and exterminating their clans.
Three years ago, in the first battle of Shouzhou, Li Tang was defeated, and the lord Li Jing was forced to surrender himself to the emperor's throne and declare himself a vassal to the Great Zhou. And today's Song court is more powerful than when Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was in power, not only with the help of the siege weapon god thunder, but more importantly, there is such a war outlier as Wen Qihang.
He changed the war from a competition in numbers to a competition in equipment, and now he is lagging behind the Song court in the whole world.
For this aspect, these important ministers of the DPRK and China present were not confident that they would be able to defeat Wen Qihang.
After all, what they have been reading for ten years is the book of sages, not those ninth-rate craftsmen.
"It seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long run." There was a nameless fire, and Diao Jiedu had to grit his teeth and overturn his plan just now.
This forced Zhou Ehuang to death in order to be able to save Li Tang's face and not let the world laugh at Li Tang. It is also to be able to keep Li Tang's country and prevent Song Ting from grabbing Li Tang's handle.
Since forcing Emperor Zhou E to death now will lead to unpredictable consequences, wouldn't it be to set yourself on fire if you continue.
"That's fine, after all, Emperor E is the crown princess of my dynasty, the beloved daughter of Zhou Qing's family, and the mother of Zhongyu's grandson. If Zhongyu loses his mother at a young age........ Let the white-haired man of Zhou Qing's family send the black-haired man........ Loneliness is unbearable! Li Jing, who was on the sickbed, saw that he couldn't do anything, so he sighed: "Just bother your family, and then think of another strategy." ”
“........”
Think of something else? It's really lying down and talking without backache! This has been discussed for a night, everything that can be thought of has been thought about, and everything that can be considered has been considered. If it weren't for the fact that the donkey skills were poor, how could he use such an indiscriminate idea as forcing Emperor Zhou E to death.
In any case, Emperor Zhou E was a crown princess, so she was forced to die, at least in the history of the panic, and she wanted to leave a good reputation.
The ministers looked at each other for a moment, but shook their heads helplessly, indicating that there was no good solution.
The hall fell silent for a while, only the coughing sound of Li Jing on the sickbed sounded occasionally.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can speak freely, and you don't have to scruples. Now it's about me, Li Tang's face........" Before Li Jing finished speaking, he coughed violently. Li Yu, who was in front of the sickbed, hurriedly stroked Li Jing's back with his hand and said while calming down: "Father, don't be impatient, your dragon body is important." ”
"Out of the way." Li Jing gasped and said.
"Father, you have already stayed up all night, why don't you rest first, and when you have enough spirits, how about we discuss this matter?" Li Yu suggested.
"The ministers implore the lord of the country to put the dragon body first." The ministers admonished together.
Li Jing shook his head and sighed: "Although the imperial doctors have always said that as long as Gu pays attention to cultivation, he can be cured, but Gu Gu's body, Gu himself knows, I'm afraid that time is running out........
"Father's ........"
"The ........ of the Lord"
Li Jing coughed lightly and waved his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yu'er, you don't have to persuade again. Gu's only wish now is to solve this matter, and when Gu Daxing is done, he will have the face to meet my ancestors and ancestors of the Li family........ If my Li Tang's country is destroyed by a lonely hand, it will be difficult to look at it even if it is under the Nine Springs.
The purpose of the Song court, we all know very well, the marriage is fake, and the annexation of our dynasty is real........ Since the lonely infection a few years ago, the affairs of the DPRK and China have long been inadequate........
Taking this opportunity, all of you are here, and you are all the ministers of our dynasty, and now Lone will hand over the power of the country to the crown prince Li Yu, hoping that all of you can assist the prince like Assist Gu........"
Staying up all night, it was really a torment for Li Jing, who was already seriously ill, and now it was very difficult to even speak normally.
"Lord, what are you ........" After listening to Li Jing's intermittent explanation, all the ministers were stupid, what is the situation? How did it evolve into a trick of Tuogu.
Li Yu, who was waiting on the side, was even more dumbfounded.
"Diao Qingjia just said that for the sake of the country and the people........ Diao Qing's family can die generously, soldiers can use their lives, and people can give up their families........ As the master of Li Tang alone, he can naturally do his best for Li Tang's country........
The great mourning of the country should be filial piety for three years, and the etiquette and marriage should be forbidden.........
Yu'er, these three years are the only thing your father can win for you, you must work hard to wash away today's shame, and your father will feel relieved even if he is under Jiuquan. ”
"Father, there will definitely be other ways." Li Yu said sluggishly.
"Lord, don't think like this." The ministers were surprised.
Li Jing showed a resolute smile and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to persuade anymore, if you can continue my Li Tang's eternal country, there is nothing to regret." ”
“........”
All the ministers in the palace were stunned, is this still the Emperor Wen who only knows poetry, calligraphy and painting? No one thought that at the last moment of his life, he would choose to die generously.
Once the lord of Li and Tang died, the marriage between the Song and Tang dynasties had to be postponed. No matter what age it is, according to the concept of Huaxia, the dead are the greatest. If the Song court forcibly wants to continue the marriage, it will lose the righteousness, and the people of the world will turn their backs, and even if the Song court is strong, it will definitely be defeated.
The world has changed, and in three years' time, it will be a different story. If Li Tang worked hard to become strong and became strong, he could refuse the unreasonable demands of the Song court, and maybe even the Song court would have been declared doomed without even three years of national fortune like the Later Han Dynasty.
