"Da Chu Zhao Jian was the first ......"

Although Zhao Jian was the emperor of Great Chu, he was very humble in his heart, and Tang Ning was still very satisfied with it.

After reading it, Tang Ning folded the letter and said: "The temple is in turmoil in the world, although Southern Chu is abetting the abuse, but the emperor of Southern Chu has a lot of suffering, and I also know this." ”

"Zhao Jian can return to the Great Zhou, this is the blessing of the people, I am very pleased, I know that he is worried in his heart, you tell him not to worry, as long as he abides by his duty as a courtier, I promise him a lifetime of glory and wealth!"

"As for Princess Linglong, I have a fate with her, and I will canonize her as a concubine!"

Mingyue pursed her lips and didn't say anything when she heard this, she understood that this was to reassure the emperor and courtiers of Southern Chu.

Not only Princess Linglong, Tang Ning will definitely accept concubines in Nandi, she knows this and understands the intention, so she is not very jealous.

Even about Bian Qingdou, she understands that although it is impossible for Bian Qingdou to enter the palace, it is inevitable that she will enter the palace in the end.

Bian Qingdou nodded and said, "Okay, I will convey His Majesty's words to him, I just brought him a letter, and then there should be an envoy to meet you to discuss the matter of returning to the army." ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Since Zhao Jian has already written a letter to return to Shun, then I will set up camp after ten miles of advance and wait for the arrival of the envoys." ”

"However, I won't wait forever, three days, I only wait for three days, if the Southern Chu monarchs and ministers don't go out of the city and return to obedience, I will lead troops to attack the city!"

Bian Qingdou nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely bring your words here, and I will try my best to promote the return of Great Chu!" ”

Tang Ning said: "The capital is a prosperous place famous all over the world, with great treasures and outstanding people, and I don't want the capital to be destroyed in the war, so I hope that the monarchs and ministers of Southern Chu can be obedient, and I will take the army all the way south, the military discipline is strict, and for the occurrence of burning, killing and looting, it can be seen that my heart of forgiveness, the monarchs and ministers of Southern Chu are submissive to me, and I will definitely give preferential treatment!" ”

Bian Qingdou couldn't help nodding when he heard this, whether it was the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou or the soldiers and horses of the grassland, there was no burning, killing and looting all the way south, and Bian Qingdou was not without emotion in his heart.

Even after the army of the Desolate Clan invaded Southern Chu, it did not burn and loot, which is very different from the legendary name of the Desolate Clan's brutality, which can also prove Tang Ning's name of benevolence.

Bian Qingdou took a deep look at Tang Ning, and then got on his horse and galloped away.

Today, the matter of Shenghua leading troops to besiege the city has already spread throughout the city, shocking countless people, and some people scolded, scolding Shenghua as a traitor.

But more people chose to remain silent, they knew that Sheng Hua's killing of the prime minister was just an excuse, and the real purpose was to force the emperor to abdicate.

They were looking forward to this in their hearts, once the emperor abdicated and returned to the Great Zhou, the great war would not break out, and they would be safe.

The emperor convened the ministers in the Golden Palace, and with the issuance of this will, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the entire capital was eyed.

"General Sheng, the emperor convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the Golden Palace, can General Sheng go?"

Sheng Hua didn't think about it, and said lightly: "The army is busy with affairs, so I won't go!" ”

"If General Sheng doesn't go, then we won't go, let's stay at home with illness!"

Sheng Hua was not surprised when he heard this, after all, they all expressed their attitudes in the recital, and they always felt a little dangerous when they entered the palace, who knows if Qin Yu would repeat it.

The ministers of civil and military affairs gathered in the Golden Palace, and the emperor drove to the Golden Palace, which was empty, and there were not even half of the officials on weekdays.

The eunuch on duty in the main hall hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are many officials who are sick and on leave today, there are Shangshu left to the south of the Ministry of Rites, and Ji Li, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, ......."

The eunuch had just said two words before he was interrupted by the emperor's wave of his hand, and now that he had decided to abdicate, he felt that it didn't matter.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

This may be the last time he accepts the courtiers' bows, and the emperor really feels a little emotional, he always complains that he is just a puppet emperor in the past, and he doesn't have much authority in his hands, and now he can't even be a puppet emperor.

The emperor said word by word: "Everyone, Aiqing, calm down!" ”

"Your Majesty, Sheng Hua is rude, please punish Sheng Hua with a straight court!" There is a royal history out of the column kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Your Majesty, please punish Shenghua to be a righteous dynasty!" More than a dozen officials knelt down in turn to plead.

There are still loyal ministers in the court, and the emperor's eyes are a little moist when he looks at them, and some of their official positions are not obvious, but they stand up in such a situation.

This is especially valuable, because the prime minister was cut off by Sheng Hua with a knife, not to mention them, they are now out of the queue to kill Sheng Hua, maybe they will fall to the ground when they leave the palace.

But they still stood up! The wind knows the grass, and the board knows Chengchen, but it's a pity that he knows too late.

The emperor put away the emotion in his heart and said in a deep voice: "You all get up!" ”

"I succeeded to the throne when I was young, and it has been more than 40 years now, and I have never really been the regent of the court for more than 40 years, because there is a temple above, and there are also prime ministers and other officials in the court who are dedicated to the temple."

"I have had great ambitions, but I have never had the opportunity to use them, and the temple is like an unattainable mountain, always pressing on my head."

"Now this mountain has finally moved, and my Da Chu has also gone to a strange road!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!

……

The emperor waved his hand and said: "After listening to me, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty will soon be in the city, and the people in the court will be scattered, and there is no commander of the army, and there will be no soldiers to fight!" I have to admit that I'm exhausted! ”

"Your Majesty, the situation is indeed critical now, but as long as the emperor is determined to eradicate the traitors, the monarch and the ministers are single-minded, and they swear to fight to the death, there is no turning point!"

The Emperor sighed, "I thought so before, but the turnaround is only one in a million hopes!" ”

"What is the price to pay for gambling on this million-dollar hope? It is the lives and blood of hundreds of people, it is the destruction of hundreds of people's families, the separation of wives, how can I bear it! How can you bear it! ”

"So, I have decided to abdicate and return to the Great Zhou!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

……

In the main hall, there was a kneel on the ground, some people were relieved, and some people were sad.

"Your Majesty, this is the royal thousand-year-old foundation, please think twice!"

"Yes, please think twice!"

"Please think twice!"

……

Having already said the matter of abdication and obedience, the emperor felt much more relaxed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The Great Chu Qi has been exhausted, I have decided to abdicate and return to the Great Zhou, I have already thought twice before making this decision, this is not only my decision, but also the last wish of the Lord of the Temple before his death!" ”
