The emperor stopped talking.

Everyone stopped talking, and they looked at the queen incredulously.

They could not understand the queen's intention to send her to death.

Zhao Qiyue's next words answered everyone's doubts: "Your Majesty, today's battle is unfavorable, the hearts of the Great Qi army and the people are shaking, and if you want to clean up the hearts of the people in the world, you must pay the price."

"As the queen of Great Qi, the concubine is willing to return to Bianliang City and fight to the death for Great Qi!"

When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized.

Then the Emperor fell silent again.

Everyone was silent.

At the same time, when they looked at Zhao Qiyue's eyes, they were left with heartfelt admiration.

Obviously, Zhao Xuanji couldn't stop Yuan Muzhen, so when Zhao Qiyue returned to Bianliang City, he was going to die.

Why do you have to go back and die?

Because today the emperor is defeated.

The emperor's majesty was greatly damaged, and it was inevitable that he would lose the awe and trust of most of the country's military and civilians.

Although just now, the monarchs and ministers reached a consensus that the emperor is not to blame and that the emperor is as majestic as ever, but this is just a trick by their group of powerful people to fool people's hearts, and it is an official rhetoric to calm the hearts of the people in the world.

A defeat is a defeat, the facts are there, and it is useless to whitewash them.

At this time, the queen died generously in order to revive the hearts of the people.

Because this at least shows that when the country is in danger, the emperor and empress, as the masters of the dynasty, are not greedy for life and afraid of death, and they do not only know how to command the soldiers and the people to fight hard, but they themselves do not hesitate to fight to the death!

This tragic and heroic feeling of fighting will inspire many Qi people to be determined to repay the country with death.

In a country, if the emperor dares to die, there will be countless people in the whole country who are willing to sacrifice their lives.

Taking a step back, if Zhao Xuanji blocks Yuan Muzhen, then there is an empress who sits in Bianliang for the emperor and fights for the country, which can also inspire the hearts of the people in the world, and can also cover up the fact that the emperor fled again.

Zhao Yujie looked at Zhao Qiyue in a daze, her heart was agitated, and her eyes changed several times.

She didn't expect that Zhao Qiyue would make this choice.

This is the same courage as Meng Chi!

She thought she couldn't.

Since you can't do it yourself, it means that it is a stupid choice.

Zhao Yujie quickly thought that she had figured out the mystery: Zhao Qiyue wanted to use his life in exchange for the emperor's more trust and reliance on the Zhao family.

Anyway, Zhao Qiyue is going to be abolished, so it is better to take this opportunity to fight to the death, get a good reputation, and win the respect of the people of the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yujie's heart was much more balanced, and the feeling of being a dwarf just now disappeared immediately.

"I ......" The emperor looked at the empress who had been snubbed by him for many years and was about to be abolished, and was speechless.

He didn't think he had the same determination to sacrifice himself as Mengchi, and he didn't think that the emperor needed such determination, as the lord of the dynasty, he only needed to know people well, reward and punish fairly, and naturally countless people were willing to die for him.

But he never thought that Zhao Qiyue, as the empress, would be willing to give up the honor of his mother and the world and die on the battlefield for the sake of the Great Qi Dynasty, for his Song family, and for him, the emperor.

This made the emperor feel ashamed and angry, but also proud and moved.

At the end, the emperor seemed to have made up his mind, and flicked his sleeves heavily: "I can't let the queen go! I and you are one, sharing weal and woe, how can I let you go alone? I will never agree to you going!"

When everyone heard the emperor's words, they all reacted, and hurriedly bowed to the queen, crying and saying: "The ministers must not let the queen mother be in danger, and the ministers are willing to do it for you!"

This is not really not to let the queen go, but I want the queen to be moved before leaving, so that she can be more firm when she dies, and don't hesitate when it comes to the end, making a joke and making the emperor look bad.

Of course, Zhao Qiyue knew what these people meant.

If she had just entered the palace, she would have been chilled by the emperor's actions. At that time, she had a love for the emperor and wanted to be a good queen.

But after so many years, her heart for the emperor has long been cold.

So she doesn't care what the other party's attitude is.

Moreover, she returned to Bianliang not for the emperor, nor for death.

Just when Zhao Qiyue was about to set off, a person popped up in the realm of Wang Ji, who was willing to return to Bianliang with her: "Sun Kang is willing to follow the queen mother, return to Bianliang together, and do the last battle for Daqi!"

Everyone was surprised, and couldn't help but look at Sun Kang.

The queen is willing to die, and they can barely understand that for the dynasty and the emperor, there is a righteousness determined by identity. But Sun Kang was also willing to die, which made them incomprehensible.

Seeing that Sun Kang's face was resolute, and he had the air of generosity and sorrow, as if he was not afraid of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the surprise of the cultivators of the various kings of the extreme realm couldn't help but be replaced by anger.

Everyone has the same status and status, Sun Kang is not afraid of death, and they should be the same, now Sun Kang has shown his determination, if they don't keep up, where will they put their face? Is it not as loyal to the emperor as Sun Kang?

But if you want them to keep up, they will also go to Bianliang to die, but they categorically refuse.

Sun Kang put them in a dilemma all of a sudden, how could they not be angry?

Before, when they saw Sun Kang singing and harmonizing with the emperor, they thought that Sun Kang was just singing with the emperor, but now Sun Kang behaved like this, as if his previous words and deeds were all done from the bottom of his heart, which made everyone feel awkward.

"General Sun is also going?" the emperor was equally surprised.

Sun Kang said sadly and indignantly: "Back to Your Majesty, since the Shanhaiguan Pass was broken and the family was killed, the minister just wants to fight the Beihu barbarian thieves endlessly!"

"Now that the country is in danger, the Central Plains urgently needs Wang Jijing to preside over the overall situation and stabilize people's hearts, although the queen mother is highly cultivated, but if there is only one person, the chaos in the Central Plains is afraid that the queen mother will be tired and vomit blood.

"My Sun family failed to guard the gate of Daqi in Shanhaiguan, has become the target of the public, the world insults me, scolds me, shames me, this time the Central Plains is at the time of employing people, Sun Kang is willing to give up his life, so that he can not only be loyal to His Majesty, but also correct the voice of my Sun family!"

The powerful people present suddenly realized when they heard Sun Kang say this, and their hearts were much more comfortable.

Since Sun Kang went to disgrace the family and revive the family's reputation, then their family did not disgrace the dynasty, was not poked in the back, and did not lose its foothold, so naturally there was no need to follow.

This is a good reason, and it has nothing to do with whether they are loyal to the emperor or not.

Zhao Qiyue glanced at Sun Kang, and there was no obvious emotion in his deep eyes except for a trace of approval. Obviously, in the queen's mind, anyone who can spare his life for the family can be regarded as a good man.

In the end, under the eyes of the emperor and everyone, Zhao Qiyue took Sun Kang to embark on the road back to Tokyo in the north.

......

Outside the city of Jinyang, pedestrians are weaving, chariots and horses are clustered, acquaintances stop to talk, business travelers shout and sell, and occasionally there are officials and soldiers riding horses, but they are also walking slowly, and they have never disturbed and collided with anyone.

In a simple but clean tea shed, there were two grandfathers and grandsons who were in the dust.

The old man with gray hair and a little messy, with a raged shirt and a rickety waist, carrying a long box and a shabby erhu in his arms, looks like a down-and-out charlator who sells art and tells stories.

Twisting a peach blossom branch, the little girl who followed the old man was in the cardamom years, and she was born with pink peach cheeks beautiful and lovely, better than the most exquisite doll in the world, especially a pair of big watery eyes, full of aura when turning.

Unlike the old man who seems to have suffered all his life and has to endure eight lifetimes, the little girl wears a satin shirt made of exquisite material, not to mention anything else, just a pearl headdress decorated with double ponytails must be worth a lot.

The young man in the tea shed, when he saw the grandfather and grandson, thought it was the master and servant, and hurriedly greeted the little girl to sit down, asked the other party what he wanted to eat, and very enthusiastically introduced the dim sum in the shop.

What do you say don't look at this tea shed is simple, in the area outside the south city gate, it is definitely famous, the reason is that the dim sum made by the proprietress is very popular, and even the old men in the city who are dressed and eaten outside the city often send people to buy.

It's just that the proprietress only makes so many dim sum every day, and you usually have to queue up if you want to buy it, but the proprietress gets up late today, and the dim sum comes out slowly, and now it just happens, which is really the luck of this young lady.

Along the way, the little girl who has been shaking the peach blossom branch to entertain herself, heard the guy's enthusiastic talk, the peach blossom branch in her hand is not shaken, and the strange eyes are not turning, and the slightly open cherry mouth is about to flow out of the harazi and still don't know it.

It was as if the soul had been hooked out of the shell.

When the guy finally finished speaking, the little girl sucked the saliva that was about to come out, slapped the table again and again, and urged the guy to hurry up and serve snacks, as many as there were.

The old man put the erhu on the bench, but the box on his back did not mean to take it off, he beat his shoulder, glanced at the little girl who was staring at the man, and smiled dotingly:

"How many losses have I suffered along the way, but I don't have a long memory, if it's really a delicious snack, guys still need to sell it so hard?"

The flame of hope in the little girl's eyes was not extinguished, and she said firmly as if she was self-persuasive: "No, this is outside Jinyang City, such a big city, such a lively place, the things must be delicious!"

The old man took a sip of the bland tea, Rao was that he had long had no expectations for the taste of the tea, but he still couldn't hold back this time and sprayed it on the spot.

The original honest temperament was completely replaced by anger, pointing to the guy who came over with a snack, and scolded arrogantly:

"What the hell is this, even if the leaves are soaked in water, it won't be so unpleasant! Your boss's heart can't be eaten by dogs, do you have a conscience to take out this kind of thing and sell it?!"

The guy was sprayed with spit by the old man, but he still didn't change his grinning face, and he didn't even wipe the spittle Xingzi, and said hehe:

"The tea in our store is also famous in the area outside the South City Gate, the old man is a foreigner, and it is normal to drink it if he is not used to it. ”

As he spoke, he put down the dim sum plate, stretched out his hand to the old man, and was confident: "Tea and dim sum, a total of two taels of silver, our store will not take credit." ”

The little girl put down the peach blossom branch, stretched out her delicate little hand like pink carving, grabbed most of the plate of jujube cake in one handful, and sent it into the small cherry mouth that opened like a bloody mouth like a blood basin, and closed her eyes and chewed intoxicatedly.

Halfway through the chew, the little girl stiffened, froze on the spot, her round face suddenly turned into the color of pork liver, and she made several forced swallowing movements, but finally she couldn't resist the resistance of her stomach, turned her head and spit out all the dim sum, and then looked at the guy who reached out for money in horror, and said like a ghost:

"Heavenly ...... Oh my God! You...... How can your dim sum be so bad? It's still famous?"

The guy smiled very brightly, and he didn't mean to be ashamed at all, and stretched out his hand a little longer:

"It's famous, but it's not a good reputation. The tea and snacks in our store, once sold, will not be returned, two taels of silver, two objective please. ”
