The seconding is the same as above, which means that Han Ye can't think of a good way to break the enemy now, so he can only show his determination to live and die with the emperor and advance and retreat together, just like Cai Xiao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before Tang Ling could speak, Qiu Yi took the initiative to stand up and arched his hand and said, "Weichen seconded it!"

Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, and Han Ye all had no good plan, which made the ministers present who advocated negotiation more confident.

He Tu Zhengse said: "Now that the palace is not broken, Your Majesty still has the capital to negotiate with the rebels, if you wait until the palace is captured, Your Majesty will not even have the opportunity to negotiate with the rebels, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

"The life and death of the people in the capital, and even the lives of millions of soldiers on the front line, are all on Your Majesty alone, please think twice!"

"If Your Majesty does not negotiate peace with the rebels, the supply of front-line soldiers will inevitably be cut off, millions of soldiers will die in a foreign land, and the country of Wind will be destroyed!

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" among the ministers, one by one, the people fell to their knees and bowed forward.

The rebels' proposition is clear, that is, to support Tang Yu to ascend the throne. The so-called peace negotiation of the ministers actually wanted Tang Ling to surrender to the rebels. Listening to their meaning, it seemed that if Tang Ling refused to accept surrender, she would become a great sinner who caused the collapse of the Wind Country.

Cai Xiao frowned, and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be cautious! As a courtier, we should be the food of the king and the matter of loyalty to the king!"

If it is usual, Cai Xiao can be said to be a man of his word in the court, and he has a large number of ministers touting and echoing his words. But now, at this critical juncture of life and death, people have their own selfish intentions, where can they take care of whether to give Cai Xiao face or not.

The ministers kneeling on the ground said in a rambling manner: "Lord Cai's words are wrong! We are waiting for the matter of loyalty to the monarch, so we have this advice!"

"That's right! With the current situation, if you resist, not only will you not be able to protect Your Majesty, but it will also cause Your Majesty to lose his life and ruin his reputation!"

When Cai Xiao heard this, he was furious, pointed at everyone, and shouted: "You are presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" the ministers who knelt on the ground bowed forward in unison.

Tang Ling slowly narrowed his eyes, slowly stood up, and said word by word: "I, I will never surrender to the rebels!"

"Your Majesty—"

She beckoned to the side, and a female officer with a sword stepped forward and handed the Shang Fang sword in her arms to Tang Ling. Tang Ling stroked the scabbard, his thumb pressed the spring, sand, the sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed in the hall.

The ministers were so frightened that their bodies were shocked, and Cai Xiao, Qiu Yi, Han Ye and others also lowered their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Stand up, all of you!"

"Your Majesty—"

"I told you all to stand up!"

"Your Majesty think twice!" everyone had their heads on the ground, and none of them stood up.

Seeing this, Tang Ling tightly held the hilt of Shang Fang's sword, raised her sword and looked around at the people who were kneeling on the ground, suddenly she snorted and laughed, nodded, and said quietly: "Okay, you really deserve to be my good minister, you want to force me to die today?"

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

"Then stand up for me!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" These ministers seemed to have discussed it, completely ignoring Tang Ling's anger, and knelt on the ground one by one, but none of them got up.

They are also like mirrors in their hearts, the law does not blame the public, if it is only one or two people to persuade them to surrender, maybe Your Majesty can kill them to vent their hatred, but now that so many of their ministers are persuading them to surrender, can Your Majesty still kill them all?

Once His Majesty does this, the soldiers who are fighting the rebels will be in chaos, and the rebels outside will immediately be able to storm the palace. They were able to grasp Tang Ling's psychology that they didn't dare to move them easily, so they could force the palace without fear at this time.

In this situation, not to mention that Cai Xiao, Han Ye and others hated it so much that the roots of their teeth itched, even Tang Ling was so angry that he trembled, and his face was terrifyingly pale. At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound of armor rubbing outside the main hall.

The sound of armor grew louder and louder from far and near. People subconsciously looked outside, but they didn't see who was coming, but there was a voice that came into the hall first.

"Rats who are greedy for life and afraid of death! For the sake of their own survival, they do not hesitate to sacrifice Your Majesty, and you are also worthy of being called the pillars of the country, and you are also worthy of standing on this court?"

With the cold voice, a person stepped in from the outside of the main hall. This man was draped in spirit armor, and the white spirit armor had been dyed blood-red.

His head was not covered with spirit armor, revealing his handsome and profound facial features, and his eyes were shining, and between the turns, there seemed to be a flow of brilliance, and the cold glow leaked out. Two strands of silver hair, falling from his temples, fluttered backwards as he walked.

Seeing the appearance of this person, everyone present was stunned. They probably never dreamed that at this moment, he would be in Shangjing, and suddenly appear in the palace surrounded by hundreds of thousands of rebel regiments.

Shangguan Xiu!

The young man who strode in from outside the hall was Shangguan Xiu.

The moment he saw him, Tang Ling's eyes turned red, bittersweet and sour, all of which came to his heart, with all kinds of flavors.

Shangguan Xiu walked straight forward, and a kneeling minister in front of him was about to turn sideways to avoid, Shangguan Xiu suddenly kicked out with his leg and kicked out, kicking on the back of the minister, the minister snorted, his body was close to the ground, and he slid sideways for how far.

With this kick, the minister lost at least half his life. He lay on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and fainted instantly. Seeing this, the rest of the ministers were all shocked and angry, He Tu straightened his waist and asked loudly: "Your Highness beats the ministers in the court, what do you mean?"

The court is the most sacred place in a country, and even if the emperor wants to beat or kill people, he has to drag people outside to carry out the punishment, so how can he beat and kill people in the court? The emperor can't do this, and the courtiers do this, which is a capital crime.

Shangguan Xiu turned a deaf ear to He Tu's questioning, and didn't even respond to it, he walked directly to He Tu's approach, who was so frightened that he involuntarily knelt down and crawled back two steps, and stammered: "Your Highness must not be presumptuous, Your Majesty is still ......"

"In Lord He's eyes, there really is still Your Majesty, can you still tolerate Your Majesty?" Shangguan Xiu's big hand reached forward, and the palm covered with spiritual armor was like an iron tong, and he pinched He Tu's neck fiercely, his arms were raised upward, and in an instant, He Tu's feet left the ground and he was lifted high into the air.

He Tu's old face instantly turned red, his hands clasped his neck, and he wanted to pull Shangguan Xiu's fingers away, but it was useless, even if he used all his strength, he couldn't even pull the slightest finger of Shangguan Xiu.

"You are waiting for rats, greedy for life and afraid of death, weak and incompetent, what's the use of keeping it?" While speaking, Shangguan Xiu's five fingers buckled inward, and he heard a crisp click, and He Tu's neck bone was crushed by him.

Poof! The corpse fell to the ground. Looking at the tragic situation of He Tu's eyes wide open and his head unnaturally twisted to one side, those ministers who were kneeling on the ground were completely frightened, where did they dare to continue to force the palace, where did they dare to force Tang Ling to surrender to the rebels? In front of Shangguan Xiu, everyone was really like a mouse seeing a cat.

Tang Ling will more or less remember the support of the ministers in the court, and he is quite polite, but Shangguan Xiu is not, in people's minds, Shangguan Xiu is a demon who treats human life like a mustard and kills people without blinking, and He Tu's tragic death at this time is a living example.

Shangguan Xiu's palm slowly clenched into a fist, and the spirit armor rubbed against the spirit armor, making a rustling sound.

His eyes were like lightning, and he scanned the people around him. Those ministers who couldn't be called by Tang Ling, after Shangguan Xiu's gaze swept over him, his body seemed to have turned into a spring, jumped up from the ground, and quickly retreated to the train, his head lowered, he didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Shangguan Xiu retracted his gaze, raised his head, and looked at Tang Ling, who was standing in front of the dragon chair and holding Shang Fang's sword.

In the main hall, there was silence, and suddenly, it seemed that all the noise had disappeared, as if all the people had also disappeared, and in the eyes of Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling, only each other remained.

At a glance, it's just that.

When Shangguan Xiu was away, she could never see the fragile side in Tang Ling's body, and what she showed was not only tenacity or tenacity, no matter how much pressure from the outside world was, it couldn't crush her.

But at this time, when he saw Shangguan Xiu and saw that the person he had been thinking about for a long time had finally returned, Tang Ling's strength instantly collapsed, his eyes were wet and red, and his bright eyes were also covered with a layer of mist.

"Why, it took so long to come back?" Tang Ling raised the sword and slowly put it down, his fingers loosened, and the sword fell out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Shangguan Xiu walked towards her step by step. He climbed the steps, came to Tang Ling's approach, raised his hand, gently brushed away a tear stain on her cheek, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Xiang'er, I'm worried about you!"

In a word, let Tang Ling gasp, she couldn't restrain herself anymore, she hugged Shangguan Xiu with her arms open, her cheek was against his chest, there was no crying, but the tears just couldn't stop flowing down.

Shangguan Xiu also raised his hand and wrapped Tang Ling in his arms.

It is not difficult to imagine how much pressure she has been under during this period and how much grievances she has suffered. At the head of the national war, there was internal turmoil, and the rebels were like bamboos, driving straight into Beijing for a long time, and the hardest blow to Tang Ling was Song Sheng's defection.

Song Sheng's betrayal directly led to the rebels breaking through the city and the fall of Shangjing. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who could share their worries and solve problems, were greedy for life and afraid of death, forcing her to negotiate with the rebels and surrender to the people, internal and external troubles, Tang Ling felt that his heart was broken.

For Tang Ling, Shangguan Xiu's return is like seeing a sweet spring in the desert.

The emperor and the prince embraced each other in the main hall, and the ministers in the court hung their heads one after another, not daring to take a second look, but there was one exception.

Tang Mingzhu standing at the entrance of the main hall.

She couldn't take her eyes off the two people who hugged each other and stood in the main hall, the male was handsome and elegant, heroic, and the female was beautiful and peerless, standing together, it was really like a pair of beautiful people who came out of the picture scroll, so right, and so perfect, but in Tang Mingzhu's eyes, she only felt extremely dazzling, her eyes became deeper and deeper, and her fists were slowly clenched subconsciously.

In her opinion, in the whole world, only Shangguan Xiu can compare with her, and only Shangguan Xiu can match her, but unfortunately, before she met Shangguan Xiu, he was already the emperor's husband and the prince of the Wind Country.

In the past, she could still deceive herself, Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling's marriage was a last resort, and it was an expedient measure for the two major interest groups of Fengguo to combine with each other, but now, she couldn't deceive her heart, nor her eyes, between Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling, it was not just a collusion of interests, but more of the true love between the two, and it was difficult for others to find a gap to insert into it.

Shangguan Xiu took the scabbard in Tang Ling's hand, bent down, picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground, and put it into the sheath.

He put Shang Fang's sword on Tang Ling's soft sword from the new, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said softly: "Xiang'er, if anyone dares to say anything about negotiating with the rebels in the court again, Xiang'er can use this sword to cut off his head!"
