In the Daming Palace, after listening to Zhou Yushi's answer, all the officials present felt a deep sense of humiliation, no matter how tactful Zhou Yushi was, no matter how clever he was, he couldn't change the truth of the facts, that is, they, and the enemy army outside the city, were no longer opponents of the same level, and they were not even qualified to sit at a negotiating table.
In their eyes, the Tang Dynasty, the motherland they were once proud of, is a weak country.
Hehe, how can a country where the capital will be attacked at any time, and the civil and military officials and even the emperor will be captured, how can it not be a weak country?
The Tang people are proud, and they have always been just their contempt for others, in the past, those small countries in Fanbang were in their eyes, and they were like the subordinate provinces and counties, and they enjoyed the envious eyes of the envoys who came to Tang to pay tribute, listening to their flattering words, saying how strong the Tang Dynasty was.
Pride and pride have become two indelible words in the minds of the Tang people.
But today, Qin Shi Huang Cao Cao and Liu Bei gave them a lesson called, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
The untouchable dignity of the Tang people was completely trampled under the feet of Qin Shi Huang.
The existence of a dignified second-class official, stomping his feet, and the government and the opposition will be shocked, but in their eyes, they are not qualified to come to the peace talks, and they want their emperor to come forward in person, what is the difference between this and letting others slaughter? If you don't understand this feeling, the Northern Song Dynasty regime a few hundred years later is an example.
Jingkang's difficulty, everyone should know it, the Jin soldiers came to the city, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty went out for peace talks, and the first time he came back unharmed, and the second time he ....... Hehe....... When a country needs the emperor to act as an envoy to negotiate in a low voice, is it far from the death of the country?
Come to think of it, even if the peace talks are successful, that price is what Datang can't bear, and millions of soldiers are pointing at Chang'an? Could they have only had some foreign objects of gold and silver treasures?
Cutting land, paying compensation, bowing down, and being a minister, these are inevitable, and these are exactly what they can't accept, especially the latter, even if it is a land cut, it is more shameful than being a minister, what does it mean to be a minister, it means that you are a Tang Dynasty, a superpower with a million armor, you have to admit to others that you are his vassal country, and you don't want to pay tribute every year, even the emperor's candidate also needs to be agreed by others, and there is also the year name, which must follow their year name, when all this becomes a reality, it also means, Datang, It has completely become a small country, a weak country that can only survive under the protection of others.
Shame, this is a real shame, when Liu Renliang heard Qin Shi Huang and they asked Li Zhi to negotiate, his eyes were red at the time, and he tried his best to prevent the negotiation, the big deal is that he fought for this old life, killed a bloody road, and the peace talks themselves can be regarded as a humiliation to the generals, not to mention the words that Qin Shi Huang and Cao Cao said, originally Zhou Yushi didn't plan to say it, but Liu Renliang forced him to use a sword to force him to restore what Liu Bei Cao Cao and Qin Shi Huang said.
"Do you think you're a second-class official, and you deserve to talk to us?"
"Get out, let Li Zhi come in person, otherwise the widow will destroy your Datang."
Zhou Yushi's tone was very normal, peaceful, and even added a little more flattery, but it was useless, and everyone automatically thought of Qin Shi Huang when they said this, the tone was arrogant and full of contempt and disdain.
But any bloody person, when he hears these words, he can't suppress the killing intent in his heart, let alone this general who has been on the battlefield for many years.
In Liu Renliang's eyes, he can die on the battlefield, but he must not be bullied at will.
But in the current Daming Palace, except for Liu Renliang and some generals of the Imperial Forest Army who were covered with wounds, most of the Wenchen chose to be silent, and there were some people who only knew how to persuade Li Zhi to let him not go, as for those diehards, they had silently stood behind Liu Renliang, planning to kill the enemy with their hands that only knew how to test the dance and the ink.
Speaking of Li Zhi himself, when he heard the news, he was also stunned, before Zhou Yushi didn't come back, he was thinking about what Qin Shihuang would ask, as long as it wasn't too much, he could agree, if it was too much, such as cutting the land, then he could also grit his teeth and agree, it's a big deal to have some infamy on his back, it's better than the Tang Dynasty being destroyed.
But when Zhou Yushi came back, after Li Zhi heard the words coming from his mouth, he was dumbfounded, and then a burst of sadness came to his heart, has Datang been weak to this point? Do you need him, the emperor, to go out as an envoy?
If there was no later incident, we believe that Li Zhi's character, it is very likely that he will really go out to negotiate with Qin Shihuang and others, but it is obvious that there are many capable people in the Tang Dynasty, and they will never allow this kind of thing to happen, such as Wu Zetian who sat next to Li Zhi, and Li Ji, the heroic martial prince who stood under His Royal Highness.
Li Ji was also stunned for a while after hearing Zhou Yushi's words, but he quickly calmed down, especially after hearing that Qin Shi Huang and they released 90,000 prisoners, a smile appeared on his face, Liu Renliang is naturally no better than Wenchen as a military general, and he can't see many deep things.
Most of these ministers present were scolding Qin Shihuang and others, and blaming themselves for their incompetence, so they didn't analyze it seriously.
Just because they don't think rationally doesn't mean that some people don't.
Li Ji saw some fame from the 90,000 prisoners released alone, which was very simple, or two words, showing goodwill.
As for letting Li Zhi negotiate, it is also very simple, three words, get off the horse.
Li Ji believes that even if Li Zhi really does not appear, these enemy troops outside the city will not be good, because from their various signs, it has long been shown that these enemy troops will only send troops to Chang'an to achieve a certain purpose, as long as the purpose is satisfied, they will naturally retreat, as for the candidates for peace talks, indeed, the weight of Zhou Yushi is already very heavy on ordinary occasions, but in front of the million heroes, it is still lighter.
Qin Shi Huang What they want is not Li Zhi, but a person who is really capable of deciding everything, such as himself, Yingwu Gong Li Ji, this person's weight is already very sufficient, Lingyan Pavilion Twenty-four Heroes, just ask the current Tang Dynasty, besides Xue Rengui, who else can compare with him Li Ji, so, this candidate for peace talks, there is no accident, it will inevitably be himself, or ....... Li Ji once again set his eyes on Wu Zetian above the main hall.
Wu Zetian saw that Li Ji looked at him, and the smart empress also understood something, and nodded lightly.
Then he lightly opened his red lips and said: "Your Majesty, you must not go to this peace talks, if you go, not only will your life safety not be guaranteed, but it will also be a big blow to the morale of my Datang army." โ
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is right, you must not go."
"Yes, yes, if you go, what's the difference between it and a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, what if they detain Your Majesty?"
Li Zhi said helplessly: "But now if I don't go, what can I do?" Could it be that watching Chang'an City break, you and I and you Aiqing have become prisoners? โ
Wu Zetian smiled slightly, and said even more coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you already have an idea in mind about the selection of concubines for peace talks. โ
Li Zhi didn't have any interest and said: "Empress, they all said that they want me to come forward in person, what if we send someone else and accidentally anger those enemy soldiers?" โ
Wu Zetian grabbed Li Zhi's big hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, you still don't know who the concubine is talking about, how can you dare to guarantee that those enemy troops will be dissatisfied?" โ
Li Zhi looked at his wife, sighed, and said, "Then I don't know who the queen wants to send?" โ
Wu Zetian stood up, walked to His Highness step by step, glanced at the ministers, and could clearly see that wherever Wu Zetian's eyes went, all the ministers silently lowered their heads, or hid behind the people in front of them, and only a few of them straightened their backs and looked at Wu Zetian's gaze, looking like a righteous Ling Ran.
Wu Zetian looked at the reactions of the ministers and didn't say anything, she even guessed the thoughts in the hearts of most of the people present.
Don't look for me, don't look for me.
"Alas......." Wu Zetian couldn't help but sigh, then turned around and knelt down in front of Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not talented, and she is willing to be the candidate for this peace talks." โ
As soon as Wu Zetian's voice fell, Li Ji also stood up and said: "The old man is also willing to accompany his mother on a journey." โ
As soon as these words came out, I only heard an uproar in the court, but after the ministers were surprised, one by one's heads began to run rapidly, Empress Wu and Duke Yingwu went out to negotiate peace, this candidate, wonderful, wonderful.
Ying Wu Gong naturally doesn't need to say that the number one minister in the court is also the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, but what about Wu Zetian? She is the queen of the Tang Dynasty, in essence, the queen is similar to the emperor, at least it shows that this is the case, didn't the enemy army say that Zhou Yushi was not qualified enough, and wanted to let Li Zhi go in person? When the queen arrived, there was not much difference between Li Zhi and Li Zhi herself, which not only preserved the dignity of Datang to a certain extent, but also gave the enemy enough face.
When the empress and the first important minister of the dynasty went out in person, they categorically would not say anything that was not qualified, because if Qin Shihuang still insisted on letting Li Zhi come, it would not be a peace talk, and they would really insult the Tang Dynasty.
The most critical point is that this queen is really a powerful person, with her, everything must be much simpler.
Compared with the joy of the hundred officials, Li Zhi looked at Wu Zetian with a downcast.
