Chapter 47: The Ten Year Covenant (2)
With the arrival of the first officials, the ministers began to arrive in the square one after another, and in a short time there were hundreds of people, and the originally empty square was already crowded, although it was not crowded, but there was not much free space.
The ministers who came did not continue to talk and talk as before, after all, the identity of His Majesty Liu Chan was there, no matter how much they despised it, they could not be rude to it, although the prime minister held the power of Yizhou, but Liu Chan was not a puppet like Emperor Xian, he still had a certain prestige, and could decide their life and death.
Looking at His Majesty who closed his eyes tightly, all the ministers had their own thoughts in their hearts, but no matter who it was, it was not difficult to see that today's dynasty would be unusual! His Majesty's wait in advance can be said to surprise all the ministers, including Qin Mi, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi, who had already seen the clues.
In addition to those court officials who can usually go to the court, the small officials and officials who were suddenly called today are all looking at this young lord who inherited the unification of Shuzhong with some curiosity, Liu Chan has little experience in marching, and rarely comes forward, even in CD City, the small officials and officials who have seen Liu Chan are only a small number, even if they have seen, they are only a few faces, and more of them are still in the palace and the departments that intersect with the palace.
However, this curiosity only lasted for a while, and after meeting them a few times, they satisfied their inner needs, and those people gradually lowered their heads and waited.
However, this wait is nearly half an hour, and in this half hour, many people looked up at Liu Chan who was in the first place, but Liu Chan was silent in response.
"The prime minister has arrived!"
With a long shout, the ministers tilted their heads slightly, today His Majesty and the Prime Minister are all well? This is the first thought in the hearts of the ministers, of course, only fools still believe that this is the case, and at this time, most of the courtiers have basically seen the strangeness of His Majesty's illness.
"The minister has seen Your Majesty!" Kong Ming walked to the front row and bowed.
Hearing this, Liu Chan finally opened his eyes, smiled at Kong Ming, and then Kong Ming entered the ranks, and under Liu Chan's signal, the court meeting officially began.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Unlike in the past, there are more people, and the momentum is shocking, like warm thunder, exploding the dawn.
"Excuse me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Not long ago, when I heard that the border was in danger, I was very worried, and then became ill, and I was unwell for a few days, but the enemy army was menacing, and I knew the difficulty of this situation, and I specially ordered the ministers to discuss this matter, and hoped that the ministers would do whatever they wanted." Liu Chan said lightly.
Hearing this, the ministers below couldn't help but look at Kong Ming, as if they were all waiting for Kong Ming.
Seeing this situation, Kong Ming immediately smiled and said: "The minister has not thought of a way to do this for the time being, and I still need to hear what tricks you have to offer." ”
"The prime minister can't help it, what can I do?"
"The prime minister is also a human being, not a god, how can he repel an army of 400,000, Cao Wei is ruthless this time to destroy my Shu!"
As soon as they saw Kong Ming, they didn't pay attention, and the people below suddenly looked left and right, and whispered, although the sound was not loud, it couldn't stand the crowd, and the noisy sound made Liu Chan frown.
And in the midst of this discussion, one person gritted his teeth and walked out, arched his hand at the head Liu Chan and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, my soldiers and horses in Shu are far from being the enemy of the 400,000 army. Let's make peace! ”
"Summation?"
"At this time, seeking peace is the only way!"
"We are willing to sue for peace, so can Cao Wei be willing, this time they intend to destroy my Shu."
Smiling slightly, Liu Chan said lightly: "Zhizhi, seeking peace?" How to sum? That Cao Pi is rushing to destroy my Shu Kingdom, will he give up easily? Even if we give up, I'm afraid that the lion will open his mouth wide and bite a piece of meat in my Shu Kingdom, which is enough for us to hurt for a few years, or even more than ten years, or even a lifetime! The military expenses of these 400,000 people alone cost me nearly three years of taxes in Shuzhong! ”
"Your Majesty, until now, only in this way can I save the lives of the people of Yizhou, otherwise, if the Wei soldiers break the city, they will inevitably be annoyed and angry, scourge the people, and ruin the lives of the people!"
"Then have you ever considered that if you seek peace, then whether Cao Wei's requirements can be met in Shuzhong, and even if they are satisfied, how much pressure will it bring to the people of Shuzhong?" Liu Chan was a little angry and said in a deep voice.
"That's better than losing your life!" Zhi Dao.
"Do you all think so too?" Glancing at everyone, Liu Chan asked lightly.
In fact, from the very beginning, knowing that the 400,000 army had invaded the territory, many people knew that they were invincible, and they already had the idea of seeking peace in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
......
Someone started, those ministers who wanted to seek peace naturally opened their mouths to vote, and after a while, there were more than 40 people, and the petty officials who went to the court for the first time today did not dare to speak nonsense, and expressed their attitudes indiscriminately, agreeing is to offend Your Majesty, and disapproving is to offend the Lord and the ministers, no matter who it is, they can kill themselves in minutes.
In such a situation, I saw an old minister walk out and angrily reprimanded: "Your Majesty must not listen to him, Your Majesty is a royal family of the Han family, and Cao Wei is a thief who steals the country, how can there be a reason for the master to beg the thief!" ”
"Lord Chen Zhen, don't you want to see the misery of my Shuzhong?" He said awe-inspiringly.
"Cao Pi plotted to kill the Son of Heaven, the noble concubine, and forced the palace to usurp power, he is actually a thief of the Han Dynasty, a hundred times more hateful than Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others! Your Majesty is the last hope of the Han Dynasty, how can you give in to it, the lord fights with him, and the minister is willing to go to Yangping in person, fight this old bone to reject the thief, and fight for Your Majesty! Fight for the Great Han! ”
Immediately, another minister walked out and said loudly: "Minister Dong Yun is willing to go with Lord Chen!" ”
"I will never negotiate peace with Cao Thief, and Chen Feishi will second!"
Looking at the three people who were determined to fight as if they were dead, Jiang Wan, who was at the bottom of the ranks, couldn't help but admire in his heart, and immediately walked out of it: "The minister seconded the proposal and fought to the death with Cao Wei!" ”
Seeing that Jiang Wan also went out to fight, Fei Yi's eyes rolled, and after thinking about it carefully, he also walked out: "The minister also seconded the proposal!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
......
After a while, there will be a large number of courtiers to fight, more of them are generals, the generals are the most enthusiastic, throughout the ages, the main battle is often more generals.
Looking at the next scene, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, although there were traitors, there was still no shortage of people loyal to the Han family in Shu.
"What is the opinion of the father, who thinks it should be reconciled? Or is it war? When making a decision, Liu Chan turned his head to look at Kong Mingdao.
Hearing Liu Chan's words, all the ministers looked at Kong Ming, just now they only cared about the temporary dispute between the two factions, and forgot that the prime minister had not yet expressed his position, but the prime minister's point of view will undoubtedly play a decisive role, or war, or peace, I am afraid it depends on how the prime minister chooses.
