457 The Dust Settles (1)

"No need, Liangsheng, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." The emperor held Mr. Chang's hand hard to prevent him from leaving, the noise was still there, Mr. Chang scolded anxiously in his heart, at this juncture, they did not work together to find a way to save Da Yue, but made noise in front of the emperor, which was a waste of time. Chang Mingsheng looked up and saw that the emperor's face was gloomy.

Hurriedly said: "Qiqi Sheng, the old minister thinks so for the sake of Da Yue, and the current Da Yue can't withstand such a huge war at all." In the past few years, the state treasury has been in deficit, but only the floods in the two Huai and the severe drought in many southern provinces have cost a lot of silver taels. Now once the war breaks out, the household department can't take out so much money to support the war, so the old minister took the lead in suggesting, hoping to send someone to the post station to discuss with the regent whether the matter can be resolved peacefully. ”

As a veteran of the two dynasties, he couldn't watch Yueli's soldiers enter Dayue and invade the territory of Dayue. The use of war may not necessarily win, and without complete preparation, he will definitely not let up and face the battle. The emperor rolled up and tapped directly on the bookcase, "Chang Shoufu, I understand what you said. But you must know that Yeluhu is forcing me to compromise with him this time, and Da Yue is bound to compromise if he wants to negotiate terms with him. Is it possible that the territory of Dayue will be ceded to Yueli unconditionally? ”

As the king of a country, this moment is his most helpless moment, and no one can stand up and share the worries for the king. No matter how good you say on weekdays, you will flatter the emperor, and at the critical moment, when the emperor needs you, you don't stand up, which is the sadness of being an emperor.

"Mingmu, tell me what you think." The emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked Zhou Mingmu at random. He is a descendant of the Chengguo Mansion, and he has the spirit of a soldier in him. Zhou Mingmu took a few deep breaths, relaxed his mood, and said slowly: "The last general understands Chang Shoufu's intentions, and Da Yue can't take out money to support the war at the moment. On the contrary, once a lot of financial and human resources are invested, if you don't win, you will lose even more.

This time, since Yeluhu dared to mobilize an army of 500,000 on the border, it means that he had already planned it. There is no sincerity in peace talks at all in Dayue, everything is just an illusion, in order to come to the capital to investigate. According to Chang Shoufu's meaning, if we compromise with Yueli, it is bound to be ceded as the saint said, to cede the land of Dayue, which is worth thinking about, how much land will Dayue cede to Yueli, and Yueli will stop?

Whether there is one city or three or five cities, no one can say for sure, because we are not Jerohu, and we cannot be his masters. There are one and two, since it has been ceded once, then there is a second time, and in the future, Yueli will use the same ways and means to force Dayue, and when the time comes, we will still compromise with Yueli as usual Shoufu said, and cede more land to them. At the same time, they may have to lose money in exchange for more rights and interests in Dayue. By that time, will Da Yue still be Da Yue?

No, it will not be a complete country, but will become a vassal state of Yueli. Over time, after a few years, Da Yue will completely disappear from this world and can only become history. He understood Chang Shoufu's thoughts, at the moment, Da Yue really can't withstand the war, but from a long-term perspective, if you don't even have the opportunity to try, you will never know what success is like, and you can't blindly retreat.

People should have a long-term plan and know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Zhou Mingmu's words made the emperor and all the ministers present silent, "Dayue is gone, then our relatives and future generations, they will all become captives of Yueli, whether the king of Yueli can treat our children and grandchildren well, this is another matter." What I'm going to say today is that if we resist to the end, we won't compromise with Yueli.

I believe that every Da Viet people do not want to watch their country slowly die away and remain indifferent and do not make any efforts. The last general is willing to take the order to arrest Yeluhu of the post station, and if Yeluhu is not captured, the last general will never come back to return to the saint! Zhou Mingmu knelt down on his knees, and his pleading tone moved the emperor. He was working hard for Da Yue with the determination to die, the emperor walked up to him with a smile, helped him get up, patted him on the shoulder, and praised: "Zhou Mingmu, you are worthy of being the grandson of Chengguo Gong, and you did not disappoint me." ”

Chang Mingsheng thought about them, and the emperor knew very well that the current situation did not allow them to send troops to deal with Yueli. But thinking about what Zhou Mingmu said carefully, he was really afraid, and his back was cold. Da Yue must not compromise with Yueli once, if he wants to stand upright, he must show the momentum he deserves. Once Yeluhu escaped from the capital, it would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain and miss this wonderful opportunity to capture him.

The relationship between Yeluhu and Yueli's Empress Dowager is very stiff, and they can take advantage of Yeluhu and the Empress Dowager to exchange conditions and win opportunities for Da Yue. All in all, Yeluhu must not be allowed to leave the capital! Chang Mingsheng glanced at Zhou Mingmu meaningfully, disapprehensive of his statement, now that Da Yue has lost one or two cities, it doesn't matter at all, as long as he can exchange peace for Da Yue, there is nothing wrong with it.

As for the emperor's attitude towards him, I am afraid that I have to listen to his opinion, Chang Mingsheng sighed slightly, what their old ministers said, the emperor couldn't listen to it at all, so why did he invite them over today, it was better to invite Zhou Mingmu over directly.

Langhua rushed in and said respectfully: "Qiqi Shengshang, Yeluhu and his party secretly left the post station from the back door, Weichen ordered someone to follow them secretly, and Weichen went back to the palace to ask the saint for instructions, what should we do next?" ”

Once Yeluhu leaves the capital, it is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and the 500,000 troops on the border are mobilized by him, and he will definitely move his army south, and the people of Dayue will definitely suffer at that time. Zhou Mingmu is right, it's better to give it a go than this. Regardless of the outcome, as long as they have given it their all, they will not regret it. In addition, if he can really catch Yeluhu, no matter whether he can force Yueli to retreat or not, he is a big trouble for Yueli's queen mother.

The emperor did not hesitate to order: "Zhou Mingmu, now you and Lang Hua will lead people to arrest Yeluhu, you must not let him escape from the capital, he is very important to Da Yue." Lang Hua and Zhou Mingmu, don't let me down with my hard work. "There was a lot of anticipation for both of them, looking forward to getting Jeruhu back. The two stepped forward in unison to receive the order, and got the emperor's nod, and quickly turned to leave.

Seeing their backs leaving, the ministers prayed in their hearts, hoping that everything would go well, bring Yelu back, and force Yueli's 500,000 troops gathered on the border of Dayue to retreat. Anyway, the people of Yueli can no longer be allowed to suffer, before Da Yue defeated Yueli, but Yueli still has such a high posture, obviously lost the war, but is still so arrogant, the emperor has long complained in his heart.

The emperor patted Chang Shoufu on the shoulder and said slowly: "Chang Shoufu, you have worked hard for Dayue all these years, and I know it in my heart. What you said is not wrong at all, Da Yue's treasury cannot withstand the war, I can only make this decision, I hope that God can bless Da Yue. When Chang Shoufu heard this, he led the ministers to kneel on the ground and pray.

Qin Su naturally didn't expect Yueli to make such a big move this time, one of her hearts kept hanging in the air, holding Yanran who opened her eyes and looked around in her arms, "Xiao Yanran, Da Yue is in dire straits now, if you really fight, you will suffer." pinched her little face affectionately, and murmured, no one wants a war to rise, but in desperation, they must not compromise.

Once compromised, the consequences will be unimaginable, although Qin Su is a woman, but she used to be an errand by the side of Empress Pan, and she somewhat understands the pain that the war brings to the people and Da Yue. Wang Shou just told her that the emperor had asked Zhou Mingmu and Langhua to chase after Yeluhu, hoping to capture him alive and use him to force Yueli to retreat.

"Yanran, let's look forward to your father successfully catching Yeluhu." As soon as Qin Su's words fell, Yan Ran in her arms cracked her small mouth and laughed, seeing her laughing, all Qin Su's troubles disappeared in an instant. Yeluhu didn't expect them to be so fast that they could catch up. And the emperor of Dayue actually sent Zhou Mingmu and Lang Hua to arrest him and prevent him from leaving the capital, it seems that he is going to make up his mind to tear his face with him.

Gathering 500,000 troops on the border is to deter the Emperor of Dayue and destroy Dayue in one fell swoop, he doesn't know how to send people to sue for peace, but wants to compete with them Yueli and fight to the death, it is simply stupid, I don't know whether to live or die. Yeluhu was full of disdain for the emperor, he drove the carriage quickly, there was Qinglian who was drugged by him in the carriage, she was pregnant, Yeluhu was a little worried about whether her body could withstand the bumps along the way at this moment, Qinglian seemed to value the child in her womb.

This is their first child, and it is also his first child in so many years, the meaning is different, and if there is a child, Qinglian will always stay by his side, otherwise he will always have a worry that Qinglian will leave him one day. Thinking of Yeluhu, he gave the chief guard a look, quickly got up and got into the carriage, he held Qinglian in his arms, and asked the chief guard to speed up his journey, hoping not to hurt the child in Qinglian's womb.

Holding Qinglian in his arms, Yelu Hu felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, he never thought in his life that he would like a girl so much, or a girl from Da Yue, God would really tease him. If it weren't for the search for Qinglian, he wouldn't have come to Da Yue at all, let alone delayed such a long time to attack Da Yue. Yue Li wiped out Da Yue, this was something he had planned a long time ago, and he couldn't be delayed by Qinglian.

Yueli wiped out Dayue, the prison still exists, but the emperor has changed, for the people, there is not much loss, compared to Yueli, their territory has increased, and their comprehensive strength has increased, and other countries cannot easily covet them. For so many years, Yueli has always had the ambition to destroy Da Yue, but for some reason, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the screams of the horses made Yeluhu immediately lift the curtain and look out defensively.

They left the capital, and now they are in the grove outside the city, it turned out that Zhou Mingmu and Langhua led people to surround them, and of course there were people outside the city to meet him, which was arranged by Yeluhu a long time ago. As long as you can get out of the capital, you don't have to be afraid.

Gently put down the Qinglian in her arms, took off the cloak on her body, carefully covered her, and pinched the back of her hand affectionately, "Lian'er, you have a good rest, I'll be back soon." Lifting the curtain, he jumped out of the carriage with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and greeted Zhou Mingmu and Lang Hua, "This king didn't expect that the two of you would personally come to see this king leave the capital!" ”

Langhua snorted disdainfully, "Regent, this is yours, you came from afar, you are a guest of Dayue, how can you not say a word, just say goodbye." His eyes did not hide his dissatisfaction with Yeluhu, and it was strange that Langhua could have a good attitude towards him because he could still say such high-sounding words.

Yelu Hu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Deputy Commander Lang, pay attention to the attitude you say, since you know that this king is a guest of Dayue, you should be respectful of this king." Don't think that you and Zhou Mingmu can detain this king by joining forces! His face slowly became gloomy, with an angular gloom that made people shudder, and those who knew him well knew that he was angry now.

"Regent, if you don't say goodbye, we won't catch up, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, we will open the skylight and say bright words, you have gathered 500,000 soldiers on the border of Da Yue, ready to attack Da Yue, and now you are leaving the post station of Da Yue, how can we let you leave with peace of mind?"

The corners of Zhou Mingmu's mouth raised slightly, and he hooked a wry smile, Yelu protects people first, so don't blame them for being polite. No matter what happened today, he and Langhua had agreed that Yeluhu would never be allowed to leave Dayue alive. Yeluhu smiled faintly, "Just because you people also want to stop this king, Zhou Mingmu, this king is not afraid to tell you, soon this king's reinforcements will arrive, you don't want this king to leave, I'm afraid I will disappoint you." Go back and tell your emperor that if you want Yueli to retire, let him write an edict to pass on the throne and give way to Yueli's emperor, and from then on Dayue will be Yueli's world. ”

At this moment, there is no need to hide the true thoughts in his heart. Lang Hua clenched his hands, clenched his fists, and couldn't wait to rush to Yeluhu's face, and gave him a few punches, so that he could taste the power, and he said wildly, why let the emperor write an edict to pass on the throne and give up the country of Dayue to Yueli. Zhou Mingmu was not surprised at all by Yeluhu's words, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "The regent has such a big breath, I'm afraid that I will disappoint the regent, Qinglian, why don't you come out quickly and see his true face." ”

The two words of Qinglian came into Yeluhu's ears and instantly made him turn around. Qinglian really lifted the curtain and walked out as Zhou Mingmu said, she didn't faint, how could it be? Although he had some scruples when he was drugged because Qinglian was pregnant, the amount was deliberately less, but it would not be invalid.

"Yeluhu, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not in a coma, Zhou Mingmu has already prepared an antidote for me, so I won't be in a coma at all. If it weren't for the coma, I wouldn't have known your wolf ambitions, and I would have coveted Dayue early on. You don't come here, don't come over, I don't want to see you, I don't want to see you. Qinglian held back the tears in her eyes to prevent them from coming out of her eyes.
